Chapter 178: Spirit Exploration Live Room
Three people representing different identities sat around the table.
Upon learning that Xu Zhiyan had lost his memory, the dead ghost Bai Jin did not react at all.
Its few thoughts were filled with "he's back" and "he didn't abandon me", and as for other issues, it didn't care at all.
But small brittle bones are different!
As the only top student in the safe house, it stands out among many functional monsters because of its learning ability and its IQ comparable to that of human college students!
This time, they had to stay in the movie, which was only two hours long, for several days, so when Xu Zhiyan was bored, he would occasionally let Xiao Ke Gu into the room to play cards together, and he did not hide anything about the plot.
It sat at the table, with its owner on the left, whose mind was full of movies after losing his memory, and the ghost Slice, who was grinning foolishly at his owner, on the right.
The little bone stood up and felt that the burden on his shoulders became heavier!
[Master (crossed out) Brother Xu, are you sure you want to carry out the next mission while losing your memory?]
It wrote a note and pushed it over.
Xu Zhiyan poured himself a glass of water, touched the note, put the note he had taken on the table, and compared the handwriting.
He just lost his memory, not his wits, and he could still recognize his own notes.
"It's probably a bit difficult for me to give myself such a large sum of money as a carrot."
As he spoke, he frowned and thought carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "Tell me everything you know... No, just tell me the information that is useful to improve the current situation."
The handwriting on the note was very sloppy, and it was obvious that I was in a panic when I wrote it.
No one knows himself better than himself.
If he were to be given a note with a large amount of information right from the start, or if the note simply stated "I am you before you lost your memory", given his alertness, he would definitely not believe it.
If you explain the content from another perspective, and then let him find the real content in the subsequent actions, and in the process, he will feel that his physical condition has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before, then he will truly believe the strange content.
"Forget it. The ghost marriage will be held at midnight. I'm not sure how much I thought about it when I wrote the note. There's still time. Please write down all the information you know about me."
Xu Zhiyan emphasized the word "can be said" to Xiaokuigu.
Because after he repeatedly reversed his own words, he felt as if something was wrong.
The more tense the situation became, the clearer Xu Zhiyan became.
If he was just completing the ghost marriage process, he could have just stated that he was in danger instead of filming the scene.
After all, judging from the content, there should be a price to pay for the collapse of the character, but the price is not much.
One of the trustworthy guys is a dead man, and the other is a creature that he is not sure whether it is a human or not. He was really scared when he saw them just now. The world has become a lot more fantastic. And judging from the address, he is the boss of this little bone monster.
Assuming this was really a weird world, he felt that since he could list this strange guy as a trustworthy being, he must be quite intelligent.
He wasn't sure if he was hiding something.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was shocked by the request made by Xu Zhiyan.
[Did Xiao Baiwan really lose his memory? Isn't he too calm? ]
[Fuck, what kind of calm state is this? ]
[Imagine if I lost my memory now, appeared in an empty forest, and held a note written by myself saying that I lost my memory...]
[Aaaah! Thinking about it this way makes me even more horrified, okay!]
[So Xiao Baiwan is the real monster, right? Is there really someone who can calmly guess in such a chaotic situation? And then reverse the conclusion? His characteristic is actually calmness, not greed! ]
[Wow, in the beginning, Xiao Baiwan was briefly overwhelmed by the one million dollars, but later he came to his senses and his IQ went up? ]
[Wow, come to think of it, this little White Bone Demon is really useful. Although he is really weak, his intelligence is quite good. ]
[U1S1, this little bone elf is smarter than the teammates I found before. ]
At the table, Xiao Cuigu received the news and began to write furiously.
It first wrote out the contents of Plan B that Xu Zhiyan had originally arranged for this copy.
After writing a piece of paper, it briefly explained their current situation.
The intelligence gained in exchange for zero combat power allowed Xiao Cui Gu to understand what the key points are.
It described in just a few sentences what happened after they entered the videotape, briefly mentioned the game-related live broadcast settings, and omitted any content related to the safe house.
The three of them were still sitting around the table, but compared to the hardworking Xiaocui Gu, the dead ghost Bai Jin was quiet and well-behaved, like a decoration.
Xu Zhiyan frowned as he looked at the contents of the paper, his heart surging with emotions, but he couldn't show it on his face... There was a live broadcast, which meant that his current situation would be broadcast live to other competitors?
No wonder he didn’t write down his details clearly before…
After being stared at for a long time by the idle dead ghost Bai Jin, Xu Zhiyan could not stand it anymore and quickly assigned work to the other party.
"Your wedding dress is at the door. Go try it on if you have nothing to do."
Stop looking, you're staring him out of the hole!
Bai Jin nodded, stood up obediently, walked to the door and took his clothes.
By the time Bai Jin changed his clothes, Xu Zhiyan had already finished reading all the information Xiaokui Gu had given him. He touched the police badge on his body with a serious expression.
"I now have the identity of the hero, but now I have an extra badge than when you saw me leaving the house just now?"
This makes it easy to judge, different identities will be represented by specific things.
For example, the protagonist’s identity is the police badge, the uncle’s identity symbol is this unique suit, and the dead ghost Bai Jin is the corpse that can accommodate various souls.
"According to the content of the note, 'I' should have found a way to pass the level, which is to complete the show and kill the instigator."
The instigators are all his own people, especially Xiaokui Gu, who has taught him how to use the summoning props to recover when the time is up. In this way, the subsequent ghost marriage will be no difficulty.
But is it really that simple?
"I think we need to prepare a plan C if necessary."
Xu Zhiyan put the note away, smiled at Xiao Cui Gu, leaned over and whispered in his ear what to do next.
The little boy, wearing his uncle's clothes, kept nodding his head, trying hard to remember what his master had told him.
When Xu Zhiyan felt that the time was up and slipped out of the gate, Xiao Ke Gu felt a sharp gaze piercing him before he even left.
The dead ghost Bai Jin, who had been assigned a boring task and changed into wedding clothes, was sitting by the door, looking at Xiao Cu Gu as if he was a dead person, which scared the hardworking safe house employees.
But considering that this guy should be a capable assistant of his beloved, Bai Jin just looked at him resentfully after being ignored and did not take any other action.
Upon seeing this, Little Bristlebone immediately slipped away, not daring to stay in the room any longer. Before leaving, it also removed the 3D foam on its two bony hands.
On the other hand, after learning more information, although Xu Zhiyan already knew the location of the heroine, in order to ensure that the plot was correct, he still conscientiously hid in the water tank, climbed over the wall, and after many twists and turns finally found the heroine's room.
Before opening the door, he hid at the door and eavesdropped for a while.
The room was very quiet, without a sound.
But along with the slight sound of the door opening, the sound of the heroine sobbing suddenly appeared, which was very abrupt.
“Squeak—”
"Wuwuwu, help, I'm so scared... I don't want to, I don't want to get married, wuwu." The girl's terrified voice sounded.
Listening to the powerful voice, Xu Zhiyan felt a strange sense of disharmony in his heart.
The guest room is separated by a screen. There is a small living room right at the entrance. On the left is the hostess's resting place, and on the table in the middle of the living room is a set of women's wedding dress.
Unlike the black wedding dress belonging to the dead ghost that we just saw, the wedding dress belonging to the bride is a solemn bright red color with fancy patterns embroidered with gold thread. One can feel the high cost at a glance.
Behind the screen on the left, the heroine is still crying.
Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair, somewhat doubting his own judgment.
According to the plot, after the hero finds the heroine and changes into wedding clothes, a servant comes to invite him to the wedding hall.
He thought it would be a bit difficult to sneak in.
But not only were there no servants along the way, even the door was not locked. The heroine was more like a power tool man. She was silent when no one was around, but started reciting her lines when someone came.
Could he be wrong?
Is the content of ghost marriage really not that difficult?
With a cautious attitude, Xu Zhiyan deliberately increased his pace and came behind the screen.
As a character who cannot change clothes easily, the heroine is still wearing her own red dress.
She had clearly met Xu Zhiyan last night, but now, when Xu Zhiyan changed his clothes, especially with the police badge, she seemed like a different person. She grabbed Xu Zhiyan's hand and started to cry.
"You're here. I missed you so much. I thought I would never see you again. I knew you would come to save me..."
Xu Zhiyan let the heroine hold his hand, crying and speaking the necessary lines in a clear and articulate tone, explaining his predicament implicitly and implicitly.
Since the NPC was acting so hard, he couldn't help but respond.
"Don't cry yet, we haven't escaped yet."
Hesitantly taking his hand back, Xu Zhiyan pondered over his plot and character mission, and said, "When the ghost marriage is held, the guards should be the most lax. You leave first and wait for me in the town."
"What about you?"
"Don't worry about me..."
The two of them were like ruthless dialogue machines, taking turns to finalize the next content.
After taking care of the heroine, Xu Zhiyan came to the living room, picked up the red wedding dress, and found a red veil underneath.
Thinking of the conflict that would happen later, he sighed and started to change his clothes.
All the settings in the movie are designed to prepare for the man and woman to leave, so it was not until Xu Zhiyan changed his clothes that the NPC appeared shouting, looking more like a ghost than a real ghost.
Watching the heroine climb out of the window with a look of grief on her face.
When he was the only one left in the room, Xu Zhiyan smacked his lips and frowned, seeming to be particularly confused.
"This isn't a building. Couldn't she have run away earlier?"
In the live broadcast room, the audience laughed as they listened to Xu Zhiyan's complaints.
[Hahahaha, Xiao Baiwan, what's wrong with you? (Pointing) After all, this is a video tape from decades ago, why do you want a bicycle! ]
[Xiao Baiwan looks like he was traumatized by the plot]
[Hahahaha, you can tell from his expression that he really hates it]
[Who wouldn't be disgusted! If your character is ruined, you should be shot in the head. It doesn't matter if the director's stupid plot is unreasonable. 】
[Director: Watch it if you want, or get lost if you don’t! ]
[Hahahaha, upstairs, do you think Xiao Baiwan doesn't want to leave? ]
[I also want to marry Yanyan's wife! TT's wife in a wedding dress has such a thin waist! Lick lick lick! ]
【？ ？ ？ ？ Lou Cha understands? 】
[But this wedding dress does fit well. Is it the same as the corpse prop? It will fit whoever wears it? ]
After changing his clothes, Xu Zhiyan sat in your room, picking at the threads on his clothes out of boredom, waiting for the next plot to unfold.
I don’t know if it’s because he lacks specific game-related memories, but his thinking scope is a little broader.
Time flies.
When Xu Zhiyan was yawning and feeling a little sleepy, someone finally knocked on his door.
It was the butler's voice.
"The auspicious time is coming soon. Have you thought it through, Madam?"
"If you ask me, don't worry about it. Your aunt sold you here and received a lot of money from us. It's enough for an ordinary family to have food and drink for a lifetime. Think about it, if you go back now and ask them to spit out the money..."
His words were full of threats, and his meaning was simple and terrifying.
Just when the butler thought he would have to wait a long time, the door opened from the inside.
A person in a bright red wedding dress stood in front of the door.
This dress seemed to be tailor-made for the bride, outlining her tall figure, making her slim waist and long legs more graceful and attractive.
Xu Zhiyan was too lazy to listen to any more nonsense.
Although he had just figured out the content of the relevant event, he was not panicked. Instead, he was eager to try when he learned that he could get a good reward if he completed it.
A strange desire to win emerged.
He feels that he can do better now than before he lost his memory!
The housekeeper didn't expect the young mistress to be so cooperative, but the auspicious time had indeed arrived, so he hurriedly asked the servants to help the bride, who was about to be buried, walk towards the main hall.
The hall that was originally used as a mourning hall had already been cleared of its white banners and redecorated.
Red silk, red lanterns, big red wedding characters...
Several lit red candles were placed in various places in the hall.
But the strange thing is that even though there are so many candles, the whole hall is dim and dim, making it difficult to see clearly. There is not a festive atmosphere at all, and it is completely weird.
Xu Zhiyan lost his vision and could not see what was happening around him.
When he was helped to the door by the servants, this hasty yet grand ghost marriage was finally about to begin.
The originally quiet hall was filled with some noisy sounds the moment Xu Zhiyan arrived at the door, and the butler kept complimenting him, and these sounds seemed to come from the guests who came to congratulate him.
Gently lifting a corner of the veil, Xu Zhiyan took a peek.
The coffin was not in the hall. There was only Bai Jin's portrait on the long table at the end. Xiao Cu Gu sat at the upper seat, motionless, acting as his silent uncle.
Just when Xu Zhiyan thought that the ghost marriage could go smoothly, a sharp voice rang out.
"A new bride entering my home must perform great etiquette."
The voice was neither male nor female, and it was even difficult to tell whether it was made by a human being.
After this sentence was said, the noisy sound in the venue paused for a moment, and then the butler repeated it again.
With the butler's repetition, several guests who came to help immediately started to act, and hurried footsteps and strange noises were heard in the center of the hall.
Xu Zhiyan was stunned and a little confused.
He didn't remember having any of that in the content.
Who was the person who just spoke? He had seen that the only people who were in charge were the butler and other servants, and when the ceremony began, the servants would not appear again. The voice was very novel, but judging from the content, it didn't sound like it belonged to a guest.
Just as Xu Zhiyan was wondering who had spoken, the scene in the hall changed a lot in an instant.
The scorching temperature appeared in the hall.
People kept pouring the charcoal from the charcoal basin onto the open space in front of Xu Zhiyan.
Then the butler appeared.
He was holding a tray in his hand, and when he spoke again, his voice seemed to be mixed with that shrill, strange noise.
"Young Madam, it is unlucky. You need to take off your shoes, step over the coals, and then cut off your own flesh with a knife to entertain the guests. Otherwise, the ceremony cannot be completed."
"But don't worry, my uncle has instructed before that servants are not allowed to attend, so there are not many guests here."
When the butler finished speaking, his voice completely changed.
Through the gap in the veil, Xu Zhiyan saw that the butler's hands holding the plate were bulging with black veins, and he no longer looked like a human being.
Now he understood.
I'm afraid the owner of this space is leaning over the butler in front of him.
However, in comparison, what surprised Xu Zhiyan was that he originally thought that the monster that prevented him from completing the entire film would directly jump out and destroy the ceremony.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be restricted by the rules and could only add obstacles to him within the rules.
Xu Zhiyan did not panic. He snapped his fingers and reached out to pick up the knife.
This is an unsharpened knife. If you want to cut meat with it, you will suffer a lot.
The carbon road ahead was long and this guy obviously wanted to kill him.
"Young Madam, please..."
The possessed butler spoke with malice, but was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Bang--"
There was a loud bang at the other end of the hall.
At the same time, this sound was like a detonator, and a series of explosions rang out in a hurry, without even time to pause.
Xu Zhiyan pondered over her own character and tentatively lifted a part of her red veil.
Nothing happened.
The original owner was a policeman. After hearing the noise, he checked and found it was normal.
At the head of the hall, I saw my uncle, who was wearing a western suit, with nothing on his neck, and no head.
Correspondingly, the guests around also had distorted expressions one after another, and their heads exploded with blood, splattering everywhere.
The butler stood there in a daze.
Just then, a white bony hand appeared from nowhere and stuffed something into the butler's waist.
The next second, the butler's expression twisted.
"Bang--"
His head just exploded.
Xu Zhiyan's face was splashed with blood, but he had no way to wipe it off at this moment. Just like the NPC who was frozen in time before, his character did not collapse, he could only stand there unable to move, and there was no way to stop the videotape from repeating itself.
Little Brittlebone has been punished by having its head exploded because of its character collapse, but it is an undead creature and will not die even if its bones are completely shattered.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the ceiling, and a strange mechanical sound came from inside, somewhat like the sound of a movie being played.
Countless headless bodies had thin, long, film-like objects emerging from the wounds on their necks, and floated toward the hole in the ceiling.
Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
This is the most important content he waited for after making all the arrangements.
After learning that the collapse of a character's setting would cause the head to explode, and that different character settings would have different specific representative items, he instructed Xiao Cu Gu to find a way to find the representative objects belonging to his servants.
After receiving the signal, the detachable hand bones that can move flexibly began to move.
But obviously these actions are illegal.
So the uncle who was sitting in the upper position was the first character to be shot in the head.
Next came the guests who were stuffed with their servant credentials.
There was a previous rule that servants could not participate in the ceremony, so when the Bone Hand stuffed the credentials hidden on the chair into the guests' cuffs, countless heads exploded in succession.
Xu Zhiyan took a deep breath and started to make a new plan.
The only variable now is the thing possessing the butler. When he participates in the ceremony in the second round, he must first find a way to kill this guy.
Just as his brain was racing, suddenly, all the films that were floating from the wound on his neck to the crack in the ceiling seemed to be pulled by something and hovered in mid-air.
Xu Zhiyan was stunned and quickly looked at the portrait on the long table at the end.
The photo inside was no longer Bai Jin's handsome and somewhat irritable face, but instead it was a faceless flesh mass...
Looking at the torn film again, Xu Zhiyan understood that this was the dead ghost who had already broken away from his role and was constantly pulling and struggling with the videotape.
Xiao Cui Gu didn't write much about the dead ghost before. He only said that the other party's body was transparent, and because of his amnesia, Xu Zhiyan's judgment of the dead ghost's ability was not accurate, so he didn't assign any tasks to the other party.
At this time, he didn't think that the dead ghost could fight against the videotape. He was just a little worried. What if the other party did so and he was targeted in the second round?
The crack above my head was getting bigger and bigger, and even the sound of a machine wailing could be heard from inside.
Xu Zhiyan tried to persuade him despite the possibility of his character being ruined.
"It doesn't matter... I can think of other ways!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a slight headache. His character was indeed collapsing.
But just as he was wondering whether to speak again, something strange happened...
I saw that a lot of the film floating out of the head had originally entered the black hole, but at this moment it was forcibly pulled out.
In the void, Xu Zhiyan heard the intermittent words of the little transparent person.
"…They…bully…you."
Its voice was still as hoarse as before.
Time seemed to stand still, and Xu Zhiyan found that a panel on his side was jumping wildly.
Before he could click it, his eyes went dark and he passed out.
[Alarm! Alarm! It has been detected that the power in the scene is being devoured...]
…
When Xu Zhiyan opened his eyes again, he was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a black videotape in his hand.
But he didn't have time to check.
Countless memories came flooding back in an instant.
Notes, ghost marriages, burning coals, exploding heads, films crawling out of wounds...
“…”
Shit! What the hell?
Should he say that he is worthy of being called a demon slicer? He actually tore this videotape world apart with brute force!
No wonder he's brainless.
At this moment, he was actually a little glad that Xiao Tomoyu had a low IQ.
With that much strength, if he had a bit more brains, wouldn't it be twice as difficult for him to recover?
