Chapter 249 Footsteps and Knocking
This strange paper man was not the first time that Zhang Feng and his friends had seen him.
Long before, when he was at a small scenic spot, Zhang Feng had destroyed several paper figures and threw them into the lake.
When they arrived at the rooftop, there was no one there and there were no paper figures at all. No one knew when this strange thing appeared.
Zhang Qian couldn't remember when someone started to respond.
"Could it be that we have attracted some dirty creature?" Song Juming said tremblingly at this time.
"What are you talking about! Someone must be playing tricks on me." Zhang Qian said, rolling her eyes, "Maybe it was that gang."
Zhang Feng didn't say anything, but just stared grimly at the scraps of paper on the ground.
The mocking expression on it could not be shaken off, affecting his mood.
*
Lin Jiu and his friends bought some food at the convenience store. Without those three strange people, the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.
Tang Yu deleted the strange photos on her phone. Although everything seemed fine now, her previous experience still made her a little concerned. Coupled with the strange paper man just now, she even wanted to go home.
Ye Sisi noticed that her friend was absent-minded, so she took her back to the B&B first.
The five players sat on a bench by the roadside. Lin Jiu was busy eating instant noodles while Charles told them about his previous discovery in the old house.
In addition to this information, there are now paper figures.
Everyone heard Zhang Feng's words clearly. It was obvious that this was not the first time those three guys had seen it, and maybe it was not the first time that Zhang Feng had torn up a paper man.
His reactions were too strong and his emotions were too easily aroused.
"It's reasonable to suspect that a paper man will knock on the door tonight," Reginald said.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
"Uh... just a guess..."
"No," Elena shook her head, "I think what you said makes sense. Maybe some players will be eliminated tonight."
After discussing strategies for dealing with emergencies, the players returned to the B&B.
When Lin Jiu returned to the room, he noticed the note on the floor-to-ceiling window at a glance. He glanced at other places in the room and made sure there was nothing extra before walking forward and tearing off the note to check.
【B&B Rules:】
[Keep quiet, keep tidy, and stay in your room during curfew.]
The content was quite simple. Apparently, the focus of this dungeon was on the wedding day. Lin Jiu quickly made his judgment. After all, the dungeon's name contained the word "happy event."
In this instance, the current rules don't seem to be that important.
Rather, it is better to say that the copy gradually no longer revolves around rules alone. In addition to judging the right and wrong of the rules to find a way to survive, other elements have begun to be added.
Just like killing the Boss within the countdown before.
“Dongdongdong——”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Lin Jiu opened the door and saw that it was Chris.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Jiu noticed that there was a pillow in Christian's arms.
"I'll sleep in your room tonight." Christie said and winked.
Lin Jiu: ...
After a brief silence, Christie saw the door closing.
"wait.....!"
Christian raised his hand and grabbed the door. Fortunately, Lin Jiu didn't use much force and stopped immediately.
"You are suspicious." Lin Jiu said, narrowing his eyes.
Christy: .....
"What are you doing, Christy?"
When Christie heard the voice, he turned around and saw Charles standing at the corner looking at him with a frown.
He lowered his gaze to the pillow in Charles's hand and said, "We have the same goal as you."
Reginald and Elena also came.
The rules didn't require them to stay in their own rooms.
Lin Jiu didn't refuse. He was quite looking forward to it. When watching videos in real life, he often saw a group of people buying snacks and drinks, chatting, playing games or watching movies in the room.
He had wanted to do this for a long time, but in reality, it was the players' precious relaxing time, and he was too embarrassed to invite them.
Although it is a little different from my ideal, I didn’t expect it to be realized in the copy.
This game is indeed a blessing for him!
At night.
It was still half an hour before ten o'clock, but it was already quiet outside.
Charles opened the curtains and looked outside. Except for the lights on the roadside, the whole town seemed to have entered the early morning when everyone was asleep. It was so quiet that there was not even the sound of insects.
In Lin Jiu's room, Elena did not accept the opportunity to sleep on the bed just because she was a woman. She just said that this was Lin Jiu's room and offered to keep watch.
They planned to take advantage of the curfew to sleep in case of any emergency late at night.
Reginald also offered to keep watch, so the two of them sat on the sofa, the only light in the room coming from the small lamp on the coffee table.
The other three simply squeezed onto one bed.
Fortunately, the bed was big enough, and the three of them were all tall and slender, so they didn't take up much space. Anyway, Lin Jiu looked a little small in front of Charles and Christie, and he was lying on his side.
In order to protect himself from Christie, Charles slept in the middle. The latter was speechless and simply slept with his back to Charles.
So Charles became the one who took up the most space in the bed.
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was quite relaxed. Inside the dungeon, the three people on the bed had already fallen into a light sleep.
Elena and Reginald lowered their voices and chatted with each other.
After ten o'clock, the entire copy world seemed to have quieted down.
Elena and Reginald stopped talking, silently tensed their bodies, and became alert.
And so, about an hour passed.
“Da…da…”
Lin Jiu, who was sleeping soundly, opened his eyes and sat up. However, within three seconds, Charles and Christie also woke up from their dreams after noticing something.
Elena and Reginald were already standing near the door.
Outside the house, some strange footsteps echoed, making it impossible to determine the source of the sound.
Lin Jiu pricked up his ears and listened for a while, then said, "Upstairs."
“Tick…Tick…”
The footsteps sometimes sound like the sound of a normal person walking, and sometimes like the sound of a pair of feet covered in mud walking.
Sometimes heavy, sometimes light....
“Dongdongdong——”
There was a knock on the door, and this time everyone heard it clearly.
The sound came from upstairs.
