Chapter 30
Taking advantage of the pause, Bai Yan knelt down to take a closer look at the old lady's condition.
The old woman had white hair on her head and wrinkles on her face. She looked to be in her seventies. Bai Yan held up her hand, which was covered with age spots. Looking at the old man's face, the pain on her face didn't seem to be fake.
After taking a general look at the old man, Bai Yan went to uncover the old man's food basket.
The old man unfortunately fell down, but her vegetable basket was put aside properly. The vegetable basket was covered with a thick cloth, and a few wild vegetables leaked out of it.
Bai Yan opened the thick cloth and put his hand into the vegetable basket to rummage. The vegetable basket only contained this kind of wild vegetable that he didn't recognize, and nothing else.
"This person looks like just an ordinary old man, but if she was really an ordinary person, the game would not arrange a plot specifically for her."
Bai Yan pondered: "Is this old man a ghost, or is he a clue figure who knows important information?"
After weighing it for about twenty seconds, Bai Yan decided that no matter what the old man's true identity was, he would support this old lady with all his enthusiasm.
Five resurrection coins, such a large number is obviously a hint given by the game to the players.
During the game, players will definitely face more than five dead ends. And after making a choice, the game will force the player to complete the plot of the 'corresponding option'. This not only increases the drama of the game, but also provides an invisible benefit to the player.
Wrong options will certainly consume the player's resurrection coins, but they will also bring valuable information.
Wu Jingang's plot last night was too obvious to be worth wasting a resurrection coin, but this old lady was someone he didn't know at all. As long as he helped her up, he could get some information, whether it was a good outcome or a bad outcome.
So, Bai Yan chose B and saw his body moving again.
He walked to the old man and squatted down, and said softly: "Grandma, are you okay? I'll help you up right now."
The old man raised his head with difficulty, gasping and unable to speak.
Bai Yan raised the old man's arm and helped him up. Even though the game controlled his body, he still felt that his arm was a little sore. The old man had a lot of fat on his body, which was very difficult for a man like him. help!
After a long while, Bai Yan helped the old man stand firm.
Bai Yan handed the vegetable basket to the old lady and helped her move up the stairs step by step.
On the way, the old lady finally regained her composure and thanked Bai Yan profusely: "Thank you, little girl, I'm an old man. Without your kind help, I wouldn't be able to get up today!"
"Let me tell you, I have a grandson who is a freshman in high school this year. His academic performance is very good. He will definitely be admitted to a good university. I think you are also a college freshman, right? I don't know if you have a partner, no. If so, I’ll introduce my grandson to you. Can you guys get to know each other? Eighteen, this is not too early. At our age, the baby can even breastfeed!”
"Grandma, you praise me so much that I'm embarrassed. And I'm already twenty-four this year. I've been married a long time ago. I'm not as young as you said." Bai Yan heard himself say embarrassedly: "And even though I'm only ten Eight, it’s not a good match for your grandson.”
"Female junior, hold the gold brick." The old lady shook her head and said, "I didn't expect you to be married, but that's right. Good girls are like gold that falls on the ground. As long as they are not blind, the boys will fight for it."
While she was talking, the old lady had already arrived. She pointed to 303 next door and said with a smile: "Little girl, come and sit at my house?"
At this point, the plot ends and Bai Yan regains control of his body.
He looked at 303 and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Last night, he was woken up by the sound of meat being chopped. The place where the meat was being chopped seemed to be 303 next door.
This old lady, who is she...?
When Bai Yan was uneasy, the old lady had already opened the door with the key. Seeing the darkness inside the door, Bai Yan swallowed his saliva. His instinct screamed for danger crazily, but he couldn't help but it was obvious that he was losing blood if he didn't do something. So he tried desperately and said, "No way. Grandma, I’ll be your guest some other time.”
"Don't be embarrassed, come in."
After saying that, the old lady grabbed Bai Yan's arm and dragged him inside, completely different from the weak look before.
In the dark doorway, the old lady's gaze became extremely dangerous. She turned around and pulled Bai Yan into the door. Bai Yan smiled bitterly. He had already guessed what would happen next.
Sure enough, the old lady dragged him inside the door and closed the door.
After entering the door, the old lady did not turn on the light, and dragged him into the kitchen in the dark as if she were carrying a chicken.
Bai Yan's night vision was pretty good. Looking at the neat row of knives in the kitchen, his fingers twitched a little. He couldn't help but think of the experience of having his knuckles chopped into pieces by a fierce ghost when he first entered the game.
It was obviously an extremely terrifying encounter, but when Bai Yan recalled it again, he actually felt a little excited.
Seeing the old lady selecting a kitchen knife, his breathing became rapid, but the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and his cheeks were quietly stained with a thin layer of red.
The old lady tried the knives one by one, and her vegetable basket began to make a harsh rustling sound.
Bai Yan's eyes moved down, and he saw that the vegetable basket originally filled with wild vegetables had completely changed its appearance.
That thick piece of cloth was clearly a stack of thick paper money. What was in the vegetable basket was not some wild vegetables, but a basket of poisonous insects of various shapes. They rushed out of the basket, and some even climbed on it. Bai Yan's legs.
The poisonous insects extended their tentacles, and their limbs secreted disgusting mucus, which made Bai Yan, who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness, very uncomfortable. But at this time, his heels had been fixed, and he couldn't even move. He could only let the poisonous insects crawl all over his body and do whatever they wanted to him.
After a long time, the old lady finally finished trying the knife.
Finally, he didn't have to endure the poisonous insects running all over the ground. Bai Yan's eyes flashed with fear, and he also had some expectations.
The old lady slowly turned around, holding a bone-cutting knife in her hand, and walked towards Bai Yan with heavy steps.
Facing the old man with a cold face and the true face of a dead man, Bai Yan closed his eyes calmly. He exhaled, only felt a sharp pain in his body, and his consciousness fell into darkness.
...
When Bai Yan regained consciousness again, time had gone back to before he made a choice.
Bai Yan looked down at his mobile phone. The countdown on the mobile phone was still five minutes, but there were only four resurrection coins on the mobile phone. At the moment, the same multiple-choice question was presented on the mobile phone, waiting for him to make a choice.
"..."
Bai Yan glanced at the old woman who was lying on the ground and looked like she had no bones left. If it weren't for her wielding a sword just now, it would be hard to imagine how such an old woman could do such a thing.
Now, Bai Yan has proved with his life that this old lady is stronger than young people.
Let's look at option A again. She is strong but pretends to fall. It is definitely a scam.
Don't help, of course you can't help!
Facts have proved that doing good things in the game world will be punished!
So, this time Bai Yan didn't think about it and pressed A directly.
Under the old lady's vicious glare, Bai Yan returned home in a flash and closed the door. Nothing happened this time.
...
Although he fell into the hands of the old lady, Bai Yan at least got some information.
Like 302 where he was, someone died in 303. The deceased was the old lady who scammed and disturbed the people.
"At present, we know that there are two ghosts in this building. There are three players in this game. Will each of them correspond to a dead person? They are actually residents of this building?" Bai Yan analyzed the hard-won intelligence while cooking: "When Wu Jingang comes back later, it is necessary to ask him about it. He has lived in this building since he was a child and may know the situation of other residents. It is too dangerous to ask them by yourself. You may be eaten by ghosts like just now."
"And those two players, I hope they see the missing person notice I posted and meet at the cafe tomorrow."
Calculating the time, Bai Yan put the food on the table and waited for Wu Jingang to come back from work.
At half past eight, Wu Jingang walked in tiredly. Bai Yan served him rice naturally, and asked casually while eating: "Jin Gang, do you know the residents of 303 next door?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"I just moved in here and want to get to know my neighbors."
"Oh." Wu Jingang took a bite of rice and said vaguely: "Two elderly people live in 303. Their children are busy with work, so they help take care of their grandson. Calculating their age, their grandson should be in high school. I haven't lived here for a long time, and I don't know much about their family."
Wu Jingang found a job after graduating from college, and then lived in the company. He moved into the wedding house after marrying Bai Yan, so he didn't know much about the new residents in this building. He only knew things from several years ago.
After asking Wu Jingang everything he knew, Bai Yan stopped asking questions and concentrated on eating.
After eating the food with Wu Jingang, Bai Yan once again ruthlessly rejected the proposal for a happy night life.
Under Wu Jingang's resentful eyes, Bai Yan took a shower and lay on the bed pretending to sleep.
Helplessly, Wu Jingang had to climb onto the bed and lie beside him after washing up, and soon he fell into a dream.
Wu Jingang fell asleep quickly, but Bai Yan couldn't sleep.
He was a little concerned about how Wu Jingang was possessed by a ghost, so he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
The wall clock ticked, and at eleven o'clock, Bai Yan finally felt sleepy. Half asleep and half awake, a baby's cry suddenly came from outside.
Then, a tooth-grinding sound of nails scratching glass came. In such a noisy sound, Bai Yan slowly opened his eyes.
He got up and looked at the place where the sound came from, and found a bloody handprint on the glass, and a bloody baby crawling on the glass, staring at the person in the window.
At this time, the mobile phone next to Bai Yan began to vibrate again.
[Tonight, you can't sleep. When you are about to fall asleep, a sharp cry wakes you up from your dream.
You raised your head and saw a baby's body lying on the window, looking at you in the window.
You thought it was bad enough after two days of terrible things. But what was worse was that tonight, you forgot to close the window, and the part of the window that was open seemed to be enough for the ghost baby to squeeze in sideways...
Looking at the ghost baby lying on the glass, you trembled and planned to-
Run over and close the window as fast as you can, safety first! You must not let this ghost thing in!
Just closing the window is not safe, pick up the rolling pin, open the window and throw the ghost baby downstairs, and then close the window.
Pretend that you didn't see anything, lie down and close your eyes to sleep. 】
