Chapter 9 [Please add to your favorites]
Lin Leyou turned around and looked at the shelf behind him. All the cigarettes were there, and each one was clearly priced. This was convenient for him. He didn't dare to smoke before because cigarettes were expensive, so he didn't know how much each cigarette cost.
How much do you want?
"Uh..." He tossed a hundred-yuan note onto the table. "Give me two packs of fifty-yuan notes."
He handed over two packs of cigarettes, the only ones on the shelf priced at fifty, and casually picked up this hundred-yuan note and tossed it into the drawer.
I made a hundred.
The young man, holding a cigarette, didn't leave immediately. Instead, he whispered, "Boss, did you know that some tourists came to the agritainment business today?"
Lin Leyou glanced at him and said with a smile, "Really? I went to bed early yesterday and don't know when you arrived."
"It was almost midnight last night, I was so late, if only I had come any later..."
He didn't elaborate on what would happen if it were any later, and Lin Leyou didn't ask either, as if everyone tacitly understood.
Just as the man was about to leave with the cigarette, a heart-wrenching scream from a woman came from afar.
Lin Leyou blinked. That scream...
The young man was definitely referring to players as tourists, and the screams from earlier must have been from players too; someone must have died.
It's a pity that he has to watch the shop and can't leave his post, so he can't go and see what's going on.
Aside from surviving for seven days, there was no clear indication of any other tasks. Although the players were terrified when they arrived last night, they were all much more relaxed after a night of high-quality sleep.
Especially during the day when the sun is so bright, players are in the mood to go out for a walk and enjoy the scenery. After all, the environment here is truly fantastic, and they rarely see such scenery in big cities.
Most importantly, all the players don't know each other and don't pay special attention to other people's situations, which leads to the fact that it's almost 10 o'clock before they realize that some players have died.
Two female players were the first to notice the strange thing. The two women staying in the guest room next to them hadn't come out. Although it was strange, they didn't intend to do anything about it.
However, as time went by, they were still a little worried and decided to go check on it. But as soon as they knocked on the door, they found that it was unlocked and opened by itself after knocking twice.
The door was ajar!
The two wondered if he had already left and they hadn't noticed because they overslept. Instinctively, they pushed open the door and peeked inside, only to see what lay there…
"What's going on?!"
"What happened?"
"Has something happened? Has someone been in trouble?"
"Is this the guest room? Let me see!"
Some players went far away, but others, just to be on the safe side, stayed nearby to observe first.
Wu Yin, with his hands in his pockets, led Xue Rui over. The door to the guest room was wide open, and anyone who came closer could see inside.
Two women lay on the bed, their sheets and blankets soaked in blood. Blood was also splattered all over the floor, walls, and ceiling. Most noticeably, their heads looked as if they had been smashed to pieces by something, turning into a puddle of mush.
This is a large-scale murder scene, and the murderer is extremely vicious and cruel, with no humanity whatsoever.
Seeing this scene, the players who had been relaxed were suddenly terrified and at a loss. Everyone stood outside, no one dared to approach the guest room, and no one even dared to go up and close the door.
Upon seeing this scene, Wu Yin immediately covered her mouth and went to the side to gag. Everyone was quite frightened because after exchanging words, they realized that everyone had slept very well the night before and no one had heard any noise.
In the end, the two brothers, Wang Wen and Wang Tong, closed the door slightly, and everyone felt a little better after they couldn't see what was happening inside.
Wang Wen took a deep breath. "Terrible, what exactly happened?"
Wu Yin: "How would I know what happened? Did anyone go out last night?"
"Well...didn't the person who brought us here say that it's best not to go out at night? So we both stayed inside and didn't go out."
"We are too."
"Me...we are too..."
"It's strange, I wasn't sleepy when I first arrived, but I fell asleep very quickly after lying down in bed."
"Ah, me too!"
"Me too, this...this couldn't be..."
Wang Tong spat, "It must have been done by people from this village! Go find them!"
Wang Wen held his hand, "Atong, don't be impulsive. Do you know whether these people in the village are living people or ghosts? If you anger them, it'll be your turn tonight!"
Wang Tong immediately cowered after hearing that, "Then... what should we do, bro?"
Wang Wen said, "We can't take a hard line, but since someone died here, we still need to inform the people here and find out exactly what happened to prevent similar situations from happening again."
Xue Rui looked at Wang Wen, who was dressed in very ordinary casual clothes and didn't seem like a particularly capable person, but he seemed to have adapted to the current situation quite quickly.
Sure enough, someone arrived soon after. It was the male head of a family living not far away, who was also responsible for providing three meals a day for this farmhouse inn.
He walked over, looked at them expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Now, in broad daylight, this middle-aged man looks just like a normal person under the sun, but everyone was so frightened earlier that no one dared to approach him to speak.
He looks normal, but everyone secretly feels that something is wrong with him.
Wang Wen then asked, "Sir, two of our companions are dead, their heads were smashed. What happened? Do you know who did it? Why did this happen?"
The middle-aged man stared at the half-open door of the guest room, remained silent for a while, and then calmly said, "Didn't I tell you? Don't go out at night, and don't go out between 10 pm and 6 am."
Wang Wen: "Did they go out at night?"
"Of course, you can't go out or open the door! No one will be out at night."
Xue Rui keenly sensed something: he couldn't go out, and he couldn't open the door either. There would be no one walking around outside at night, which meant that no one would knock on the door at night.
It means that if someone knocks on the door at night, it's very likely that the person knocking isn't human. In such a situation, you shouldn't open the door, and it's best not to speak either!
Wang Wen: "Why can't we go out at night? Is it because there are scary things outside at night?"
The middle-aged man shook his head. "How would I know? That's just the village's rule. We just need to follow the rules. Why ask so many questions?"
Generally speaking, if an NPC tells you not to ask too many questions, it's definitely something they want to investigate.
