C876 The Key Clue
C876 The Key Clue
Daytime was the best time to push the progress of the storyline.
Cao Cencen and Yuv Jiani were in charge of diverting the villagers' attention, while the rest took the opportunity to search every house.
Although they had also found some clues, they were still far from piecing together the truth of the entire incident.
At night, everyone continued to pretend to sleep, and the NPCs moved out again. However, this time, it was a long-haired female ghost. "All night long," she whimpered beside their ears, and they could even feel her hair brushing past their faces.
"The night" passed, "the day came.
Everyone searched again, but most of the clues they could find were found yesterday, and" today "they found nothing.
The progress had reached a stalemate.
"This won't do." Zou Han frowned. "There is a limit to the time of the game when escaping from the secret chamber. If we can't push the development of the plot... We will be forced out of the village soon, and we will have to return empty-handed. "
Wan Yuanwei asked, "Then what should we do?"
Cao Cencen shrugged, indicating that he had no idea what to do.
In the corner, Yuv Jiani looked around in fear, as if a ghost would jump out at any time. She could not come up with any constructive suggestions.
At this time, Sheng Chuxi, who had been in deep thought just now, spoke.
"The NPCs appearing on the first night and the second night are different. There should be some special meaning in this. It's a hint for us. I think that the existence of these two 'ghosts'... Perhaps it's not just to create the atmosphere."
"Since we are now in a deadlock, we can try to break the rules. I think we can do this... "
Sheng Chuxi said her thoughts and everyone agreed with her.
On the third night, the NPC who was pretending to be a ghost came to the room again. Just like last time, he pulled the blanket and yawned.
Hearing the footsteps leave, everyone quickly opened their eyes and stood up. They quietly followed behind the NPC.
They saw him walk into a room and close the door.
Sheng Chuxi softly said, "This ghost should be a fake ghost. Let's go and take a look."
As she spoke, she bent over to the window and quietly opened a crack. The others also followed. They leaned against the door or the window and looked inside through the crack.
The NPC washed the ghost makeup on his face and took off his wig -
It was actually one of the villagers!
In the house, the other villagers were also there.
They were discussing something with gloomy expressions, but because their voices were very low, they could only faintly hear a few words.
"... " ... No matter what, we must... otherwise... Kobold Gold..."
Through the crack in the door, they saw the villagers holding a shiny golden stone in their hands. It was the size of a dog's head!
Sheng Chuxi's thoughts were indeed correct!
They had obtained a key clue!
On the fourth night, everyone used the same trick again.
The villager who was pretending to be a ghost did not appear. Instead, it was the long-haired female ghost.
Could it be that the villagers took turns to disguise themselves as ghosts?
After she sobbed and left, everyone quietly followed her out, wanting to find out what was going on.
However, just as they went out, they saw the female ghost floating in the air. She opened her terrifying bloody mouth, her head tilted at an inconceivable angle, her eyes staring straight at them without any whites.
This female ghost was clearly not a villager pretending to be a ghost, but a real female ghost.
Everyone swallowed their saliva.
It's over, it's over... ...
Was he going to trigger some scary plot where ghosts ate people?
