"This matter dates back to the last century. A great tragedy occurred on a road."
"It is said that an old detective received a phone call while on duty at night. The person on the phone claimed to have killed someone and reported the exact address of the old house. When the detectives rushed to the scene, they found that the doors and windows of the house were closed, there were no lights in the house, and it seemed that no one lived there."
"After knocking and shouting for a long time, no one answered, let alone opened the door. Later, a young constable knocked open the glass window on the first floor and climbed in. He then found a very small dining room. The horrifying thing was that the ground was wet and covered in bright red blood. The strong smell of blood was nauseating... After searching the house, no one was found. After asking the surrounding neighbors for information, the constables learned that a Mr. Ye, his wife, and a pair of children lived in the house, a total of four people. But, the blood in the dining room was the blood of at least six people, and all of them had been drained." Sun Lingling looked serious and spoke as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
"Well, then what..." As Sun Lingling spoke, Shi Yansheng's heart was hanging in the air, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and he was extremely nervous.
"The detectives have been investigating, but strange incidents keep popping up. Some claim to have seen children, some hear children laughing, and some encounter fog... It's incredibly mysterious. Even more mysterious, during the investigation, it turns out this Mr. Ye, Ye Xianguo, has a father named Ye Xianguo and a grandfather named Ye Xianguo. And all three of these Ye Xianguos look exactly the same! They've searched endlessly, but they can't find any death certificates for their father or grandfather. Isn't that bizarre?"
"Xuan!" Shi Yansheng nodded hurriedly.
Onlooker Lin Xiaoman silently complained: It can’t be three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, but actually one person, right?
"It can't be just one person, right? Immortality?" Shi Yansheng obviously thought the same thing as Lin Xiaoman.
"This is definitely one of the strange things about the old house," Sun Lingling continued. "It's said that the young detective who went in first to investigate died, and the old detective went insane. It was terrifying! Later, when the area was demolished, a large vat was dug out from under House 37. What do you think is in it?"
"Could it be a corpse?" Shi Yansheng swallowed and felt extremely terrified.
"It's Ye Xianguo's wife and two children!"
"Hiss..." Shi Yansheng took a breath and waited for what to happen next with his eyes wide open.
"What's even more bizarre is that the bodies of those three people showed no signs of decay at all. They looked just like living people, but there was no sign of life. They were dead, but they didn't decay. Isn't that strange?"
"strangeness!"
"What's even stranger is that Ye Xianguo was finally apprehended, but he was completely insane and underwent several mental evaluations. During one X-ray, the people present were nearly frightened to death because Ye Xianguo had no brain tissue."
"No brain tissue?" Shi Yansheng's eyes almost popped out. "Then how is he alive? Without brain tissue, is he still a human?"
"He's not a human, he's an immortal cultivator!"
"Is this true?"
"The rumor goes that, in the end, Ye Xianguo was taken to the scene to identify the scene. However, when they arrived there, a sudden fog appeared, and the previously demolished Lin family residence at No. 37 reappeared there..."
"So horrible? What's the final result?"
"Ye Xianguo burst into laughter and finally disappeared into the mist, leaving no trace."
After Sun Lingling finished speaking, the room was silent for a long while before Shi Yansheng recovered. "Such a fantastic rumor, is it true? And it's all been demolished, so this is definitely not an old site."
"I think it's fake too. There are many different opinions about where the old house is."
"Yes, it's fake, fake. Lingling, let's clean up first. Although Lin Chunxiang said it was nothing just now, who can guarantee it? There might be bugs!" Shi Yansheng walked to the window and pushed it open.
The ivy near the window had obviously been cleaned up specially, but once the sliding window was opened, a large area of green could be seen.
The ivy with tenacious vitality is so lush, like a soldier who becomes braver with each battle, and is unremittingly trying to occupy the position of the window.
After taking a look, Shi Yansheng frowned even deeper. Although she also liked to grow plants, such a large area would attract insects and flies!
Thinking of caterpillars, geckos, snakes and so on, Shi Yansheng shuddered and quickly pulled the window back, leaving only a thin gap of less than 5 cm for ventilation.
"Yanyan, you should be careful about not getting any cockroaches or anything like that." Sun Lingling also took a look and immediately agreed, then took out some mosquito repellent from her luggage. "I brought this. Let's light it up, and it will fumigate away any bugs."
"Uh-huh."
After lighting the mosquito repellent, they checked the entire room, including the bathroom, to make sure there were no insects. Then the topic returned to the script.
Looking at the script given by Xu Enze, the two exchanged a few words from time to time.
Watching the whole journey from Shi Yansheng's perspective, after seeing the so-called script, Lin Xiaoman completely understood that this group of people, headed by the boss Wang who has not yet appeared, is a small advertising studio. Now the client, Fatty Sun, has asked them to promote the hotel.
Mainly focusing on suspense and the supernatural, they came up with a mysterious puppet show to scare people, and did one or several episodes of the show, which turned into a prank and scary reality show.
And they are both shills and scary.
Use "what's going on" as a hot topic, hype it up, and increase the popularity of this hotel in the middle of nowhere. Finally, the fat boss Sun will consider whether to set up a suspense and horror theme park based on market feedback.
If the program is effective, their advertising studio will be able to open up the market and attract more customers.
Anyway, that's it, a scary prank show team.
Lin Xiaoman has already analyzed the NPC's related actions, but the question now is, what is she doing?
The so-called [background story], is this a clue?
Will something unpredictable happen next?
She had just asked the system, but the system's recording function was also unusable, which meant that she had to rely entirely on her own memory.
So sad!
Lin Xiaoman is a little bald and she has no confidence in her IQ. What if she misses some key information?
What if at the end, I have a question like, 'How many stairs are there from the first floor to the second floor?'
She could only look confused!
Well, it shouldn’t be such a simple question, it must be more difficult.
Why……
But are Long Jiujiu and Master Shao here too?
Do they have a character perspective like her?
So who could it be?
Well, it doesn’t matter who it is, there is no way to control the NPC to achieve communication anyway.
Lin Xiaoman, who had no idea how to pass the dungeon, was so worried...
