Chapter 89

"The clues in this game are too fragmented. Let me think about it."

Ye Shangyu said this, and Bai Yan also felt that he needed to think about it carefully.

"Just now, the grandfather and grandson deceived grandma. If they were not joking, but were real ghosts, why didn't the person who became a ghost disappear? This does not match what was said in the forum."

Bai Yan expressed what he felt conflicted about and exchanged his thoughts with Ye Shangyu: "It was said on the forum that many people in the village have disappeared. This should be a good thing Xu Lanfang did. But look at the performance of grandpa and grandson just now , after they are killed, they can still pretend to be alive and continue to harm others. Does it mean that certain conditions must be met before disappearing?"

"...Wait a minute, I think I have a clue."

Hearing what Bai Yan said, Ye Shangyu's eyes flashed, and he thought of the nursery rhyme that the children who liked to play with balls on the graves had been singing.

"Dongzi's father strangled Dongzi's mother to death,

Dongzi’s mother strangled Dongzi’s milk,

Dongzi’s milk drowned Master Dongzi,

Mr. Dongzi threw Dongzi sister to death..."

After Ye Shangyu recited the nursery rhyme, he lowered his voice and said, "Have you noticed that they all kill one by one, one dies first, and then the dead person goes to kill the other."

"Could it be that the people turned into ghosts by Xu Lanfang can only harm one person at a time?" Bai Yan pondered: "The ghosts in the video can only deceive one person at a time. Maybe this is the restriction given to them by the App?"

Ye Shangyu carried it here, and Bai Yan also understood what she meant.

At the end of the nursery rhyme, there is another sentence, "Then their family of six will be reunited."

When he first heard it, Bai Yan thought it meant that Dongzi's family was all dead, so they reunited underground.

But in connection with the missing persons on the forum, this may mean that all six members of this family have disappeared. Maybe the whole family dies and turns into ghosts, which is the real condition for disappearance.

"Interesting, it turns out you are envious of this kind of thing."

Bai Yan thought of the boy holding the ball again. Except for him, all his relatives were dead.

Before leaving, the boy looked at Goudan's family with envious eyes. Maybe he was envious of him because he would soon go to hell to meet his relatives.

When Bai Yan was distracted, Ye Shangyu said again: "In this way, the matter of Xu Lanfang's grandma can be explained. Xu Lanfang is dead, and maybe her parents have also been killed. If grandma is also dead, then this family All four people, including 'Xu Lanfang', will disappear. The ghost appears using Xu Lanfang's identity. If Xu Lanfang also disappears, it will return to the video and wait for the next person to watch the video before it can come out of the video."

After guessing this, many things were immediately explained.

However, all this is just their hypothesis and the evidence is not sufficient.

To verify this hypothesis, we have to wait until night to ask Xu Lanfang's grandmother, and tomorrow to see if the old lady who came into the house to cook and her family are missing. If their family is missing, it means that the whole family died together, which will cause the disappearance. as a result of.

At this point in the discussion, Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu no longer planned to visit other villagers, but were preparing to go back immediately.

Judging from the hypothesis just now, it is very likely that most of the 'living people' in this village are ghosts.

When you can't tell which is a human and which is a ghost, if you contact the villagers rashly, you may encounter a living person disguised as a ghost and become the next target.

But it was different when they returned to Xu Lanfang's house. The two of them already knew that Xu Lanfang was a ghost, so they were careful to take some actions. At least they would not die inexplicably before the ghost completely broke up with them.

On the way back.

In the distance, Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu saw two figures.

In broad daylight, Bai Yan's eyesight was not very good, but he could still recognize them through their silhouettes. These two people were Hiroshi Ozawa and Lu Ruichao.

The two of them had sullen faces, their faces were covered with dark clouds, and Hiroshi Ozawa's sinister face was about to see ink flow out.

One look at their faces, Bai Yan knew that something must have happened.

"Why are there just the two of you? Where are the two anchors?"

"Fang Niu and Bai Cui...the two of them are missing!" Hiroshi Ozawa said gloomily: "Not long ago, Fang Niu wanted to explore an abandoned farmhouse. Before entering, he suddenly said that we have been following them and hindering them. The live broadcast greatly affected the popularity of their live broadcast room, so they insulted us and told us to get out.

Because his attitude was very rude, we didn't want to conflict with him, so we stood outside the farmhouse waiting for him. Unexpectedly, we waited for a long time, but no two people came out.

Seeing that the two people didn't come out, we thought they must be in trouble, so we climbed in through the broken window to take a look. As soon as we entered, we found that the two of them were missing! "

Seeing the suspicious looks in their eyes, Hiroshi Ozawa immediately turned his head and said, "Lu Ruichao, do you think this is what happened?"

Lu Ruichao had a straight face and nodded silently.

After the two of them confirmed it together, Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu completely believed it.

Knowing that the anchor duo was missing, the two assumed that they were dead. In the App game, missing is equivalent to death.

The death of the two anchors undoubtedly sent them a very bad signal. All the key NPCs are dead, which means that in the next step, the ghost's target will be the player!

Calculating time, the requirement of this game is to survive for three days.

It's been a day and a half now and the game is half done.

In the game, especially in the difficult difficulty levels, it is undoubtedly a miracle that no player has died halfway through the game.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan suddenly became suspicious.

What you see may not be true. In places he didn't see... were they really not replaced?

He observed the two quietly, and the more he looked, the more suspicious he became.

On the surface, the two looked like normal people.

However, the two anchors disappeared, and you entered a house where someone had just died. Why are you two fine?

Ye Shangyu pinched Bai Yan quietly, and obviously noticed that something was wrong with the two.

Of course, there was nothing abnormal about the two of them, and even in terms of personality, one was gloomy and the other was taciturn.

But the ghosts' acting skills were better than each other. Before the two explained clearly what they encountered in the haunted house, Bai Yan had decided to treat them as ghosts.

"Go back first and wait until everyone is together."

Because they were suspicious, Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu fell behind, letting the two in front go first, so as not to expose their backs to the suspects.

Xu Lanfang prepared a table of sumptuous food. Of course, the three golden chickens were placed in front of the old lady.

Because of their experience, before the old lady started eating, everyone quickly selected their favorite food and devoured it.

While eating, Bai Yan kept observing Ozawa Hiroya and the other two.

The two ate normally and enjoyed the meal. However, Xu Lanfang was also eating the food, which even ghosts could eat. Judging from her eating appearance, it was obviously useless.

After dinner, Xu Lanfang quietly cleaned up the dishes.

The old lady narrowed her green eyes and leaned on the quilt, looking sleepy again.

However, this time she just squinted for a while and suddenly said, "What about the two people who like to play with their phones?"

Bai Yan paused for a moment, then realized that the old lady should be referring to the two anchors.

So, he asked tentatively: "You don't know?"

"They went back?" The old lady said: "It's good to go back. They play with their mobile phones all day long and don't learn well at all. If they stay here all the time, they will lead our Lanlan astray. Lanlan has just learned well, and she can't be led astray by them and play with her mobile phone again."

Kunta and Gina were not surprised by the old lady's words. They should have asked when everyone was away.

Seeing that Xu Lanfang was at home, it was not easy to ask more about the mobile phone. Bai Yan skipped this topic and continued to ask: "They should be tired of staying in the countryside, so they went back. By the way, old man, why are there only two of you here? Where are uncle and aunt, are they not at home?"

"They all went to work in the city. They came back half a month ago, but they only stayed for one day and went back the next day. The work in the city is busy, so you can't always ask for leave. You will be deducted a lot of money for one day!"

The old lady picked her teeth with her fingernails and stuffed the minced meat she picked out directly into her mouth, which was very unrefined.

However, she looked scary, but she was surprisingly easy to talk to. Maybe for the sake of accommodation fee, she asked and answered.

The old lady was very cooperative, but her answer made Bai Yan quite depressed.

Xu Lanfang's parents came back, but left soon.

When they came back, Xu Lanfang had undoubtedly turned into a ghost, but considering that they and Xu Lanfang were a family, the ghost might let them go.

Bai Yan originally planned to kill the old lady immediately if he could confirm that the couple had turned into ghosts, and directly send the human skin ghost back to the video.

But from the old lady's description, he couldn't tell whether "Xu Lanfang" had done anything to the two of them, so he could only regretfully give up to avoid alerting the snake.

After chatting for a while, the old lady was tired, her squinting eyes completely closed, her neck tilted, and she fell asleep leaning against the mattress.

Seeing that the old lady fell asleep, everyone left the big house one after another and went to the east room together.

As soon as the door of the east room was closed, Gina couldn't wait to whisper: "What happened? How did the two anchors disappear?"

Xiao Zebo also repeated what he had said to Bai Yan and the others with a gloomy face, and then added some details about the house.

"Fang Niu's sudden change of expression is indeed suspicious. I heard that he went out last night, right?" Gina turned her head to ask Kunta. After getting a positive answer, she said confidently with her rich experience: "He was left alone. In the game, no NPC left alone has a good end. He was undoubtedly replaced by a ghost."

At this point, Gina suddenly said: "By the way, you two didn't separate when you entered the farmhouse, right?"
