"—X year x month x day—

"Xiaochun has been missing for three days!

"My wife said she might have...no, no, no, no, how could someone bear to deal with Xiaochun! She is only six years old! She is going to elementary school soon, and my father bought Xiaochun a new schoolbag, Xiaochun So happy...

"Xiaochun, you will definitely come back to Dad, won't you?

"—X year x month x day—

"A week has passed.

"The notice has been posted to the next city. But no one paid any attention to us, as if the whole world didn't know Xiaochun. My wife stayed on the phone all the time and didn't go to work.

"She told me again, maybe Xiaochun is already...damn, what does she know! How could Xiaochun...how could it be!

"An old customer came to buy a doll today and asked me if I have made a new one recently. How can I have that skill... Xiaochun, Xiaochun, Xiaochun. My daughter...

"—X year x month x day—

"My wife told me today that if this continues, the two of us may not be able to survive before we find Xiaochun.

"Yeah, I don't think I can live anymore. A month has passed. When Xiaochun just disappeared, I felt that the sky was going to fall, and I would not be able to live in the next second. But now, I feel like Live like a walking dead. Still alive.

"A customer came over to customize the doll. I didn't know about Xiaochun's disappearance. I jokingly said that I have become like a doll recently, dull and stiff...every day.

"I'm thinking about my daughter...my Xiaochun. What will happen to her? Will she be afraid? Will she cry? But my Xiaochun always loves to laugh, she is like a happy fruit, an angel …

"Why would anyone be malicious to her?

"—X year x month x day—

"My wife and I had a fight.

"She said, we are going to give up looking for Xiaochun... at least, not looking like crazy like we are now.

"She said that if this continues, the doll shop will not open.

"She said, we are still young, we can still...

"...My wife had already resigned from the company before, and she wanted to find Xiaochun. Why has she changed her mind now?

"—X year x month x day—

"My wife is gone.

"I think she's right, I'm crazy.

"Doll shop, money, marriage, compared to Xiaochun, what is it? Xiaochun is still so small, and now I don’t know where she is. Her parents, her friends, dolls and clothes she likes are not around... She must I'm scared.

"If you can't find Xiaochun, a father like me would have failed too much.

"Xiaochun, Dad will find you. At all costs.

"Xiaochun, don't be afraid. Dad will always love you.

"Dad misses you so much...

"..."

Xu Beijin zoomed in on the live room and looked at the diary with the audience.

The ponytail girl turned faster, but it was enough for them to look around and get an overview, and Xu Bei felt that the audience might be crazy about taking screenshots.

Some pages in the front of the diary also have warm daily life, but after the daughter's disappearance, the diary owner's mood continued to fall. The text was full of a father's love, longing for the missing daughter, as well as despair and depression.

The disappearance of the young girl was a heavy blow to the couple. The wife of the doll shop owner seems to have come out, but the father has fallen into it.

According to the information Xu Beijin had obtained before, after their daughter disappeared, the couple ended up in divorce. This seems to be the end of many couples who have lost their children.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room was also discussing the news revealed in this diary.

One of the viewers, who may be a reasoning enthusiast, couldn't control his brain directly. He typed a long list of news on the barrage of the live broadcast room and revealed his own analysis.

"What a fun game! Even the contents of the diary are so detailed!

"...I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. Let me share my reasoning.

"This game obviously revolves around the disappearance of a girl. We haven't got much information yet, and the diary doesn't reveal any clues about the girl's disappearance. However, based on this kind of girl's disappearance, I have made a few suggestions. An analysis for reference.

"First of all, I have to consider acquaintances committing crimes. That is, the girl's parents, friends, other elders, neighbors, etc., even the girl may run away from home or get lost.

"The little girl is six years old. Children at this age already have the basic concepts of acquaintances and strangers. Parents will also consciously teach that little girls are unlikely to leave with people they don’t know casually, so acquaintances commit crimes. The possibility is on the high side.

"Secondly, we still have to consider the possibility of abduction, kidnapping and other crimes committed by strangers.

"However, I still prefer the former. Because this is a game.

"The meaning of the game is that the planner is unlikely to casually point to an unfamiliar character that has never appeared in the game, and then tell us that he is the murderer. This will make the player feel that he has been fooled.

"Therefore, the murderer is most likely to be the characters who have appeared in the game. We have not fully explored the entire game scene yet, and it is not easy to say which characters will appear.

"However, if you jump out of the shackles of the game itself and return to our audience, then you can find a very suspicious problem.

"In the reasoning just now, we all ignored an x ​​factor.

"That's the anchor!"

Xu Beijin: "?"

The audience was obviously passionate and felt as if he had found a very good entry point.

"First of all, what is the type of this game? Although I am not sure yet, this should be a puzzle-solving and exploration game with a little action-adventure component.

"Then the question is, what about identity? What identity do players play in such a game? What are their activities and the purpose of the game?

"From the identities of the players we have been observing, they seem to be investigating the disappearance of the doll shop owner's daughter as detectives, or investigators.

"Besides, please be aware that this is a multiplayer game. What are the key elements of a multiplayer game? It is the opposition of positions! In other words, there must be a confrontation between players, otherwise it is fundamental No fun at all.

"Then let's look at another question. Why hasn't the anchor appeared until now, and there is no sound? He switched the angle of view for us before, indicating that he is online, not hanging up.

"In other words, he is really playing this game. Then why can't you say hello to us? It means he has a situation over there! It may even affect the progress of the whole game and directly cause spoilers to the audience! For the live broadcast That said, spoilers are of course something to avoid.

"Then the question is, what's the situation?

"At the beginning, I didn't think about it. I have been struggling with this in the few bulletins I sent before... But now I have figured it out, or been prompted, that is the identity problem.

"If this game requires someone to act as the murderer? What if the anchor is the murderer?

"He didn't cut the camera to his direction because the missing little girl was with him; he didn't even dare to show his voice, because in the background sound, there might be the little girl crying!

"Although I still don't understand why the dolls chase the player, why the girl doll is looking for eyes, why the stairs to the second floor are blocked... But I can confirm one thing.

"The current status of the anchor is the murderer!"

The reasoning was as fierce as a tiger, and the audience nodded and clapped.

"I believe it, I really believe it! It's justified!"

"Brother Qiang, I see the anchor shivering behind the screen. I didn't expect someone to reason everything out so early!"

"Hahahaha, the two of you are too acclaimed, so I will just express my personal opinion, for reference only, for reference only. Of course, I think this possibility is very great."

"I agree with you! It makes sense! Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the anchor did not appear."

"Yes! The anchor must be the murderer who didn't run away!"

Xu Beijin: "..."

He was in a hurry.

No, brother, your major premise is wrong!

Wrong premise, wrong result.

But the reasoning process really looks like that!

Xu Beijin couldn’t argue with it, because the main brain didn’t allow him to reveal the identity of his actor, let alone reveal it, saying that he was the actor... According to the logic of this master of reasoning, isn’t he playing the murderer even more? ? !

Xu Bei was quite depressed for a while.

The viewer was very confident in his reasoning. After five minutes arrived, the girl doll shot again, the nightmare restarted again, and after the anchor did not show up, he became more confident in this conclusion.

He vowed to say: "The anchor must be the murderer!"

Fierce fart!

Xu Bei responded fiercely in his heart.

When he hadn't figured out how to deal with the sand sculpture audience in the live broadcast room, the door of the bookstore was suddenly pushed open, and three people walked in outside, namely Ponytail Girl, Gang Jing and Ringo.

Xu Bei couldn't help but startled.

He thought, it seems that in the fifth opening of the nightmare, the first wave of dolls chased and killed the man with glasses?

The angle of view in the live broadcast room is still from the man in glasses, so it is a good thing that he was chased by a doll... Well, at least Xu Beijin will not be exposed to the audience in the live broadcast room at this time.

At the moment when these people walked in front of Xu Beijin, Xu Beijin suddenly received some information from the mastermind.

There has never been such a situation before, which surprised Xu Bei.

As the taskers explore the nightmare, their actors will also get more information to perform better. The only problem is that Xu Beijin's own actor level is only a group performance, he shouldn't have received so much news.

But he reacted immediately.

These taskers should have gone directly to the doll shop owner at this time, but I am afraid that they were misled by the previous taskers, thinking that Xu Beijin was the NPC who would provide information in the nightmare.

They have all obtained the corresponding clues and found Xu Beijin here. The main brain has to deal with it flexibly, so Xu Beijin can obtain so much information at the level of a group performance.

This also made Xu Beijin a little excited, after all—this was the first time he truly participated in a nightmare.

I used to be a group performer, either lying on the ground or decorating in the shop, not to mention how boring; now at least a few taskers can be received, and the task progress of this group of taskers can be spied through the live broadcast...

Life has improved.

Xu Beijin stood up while thinking so in his heart. He couldn't help showing a slight smile, and faced these taskers very friendly-even if there was the annoying guy Ringo inside.

With a smile, he asked: "Hello, what do you want?"

Sister Mawei was about to speak, she suddenly frowned, squinted her eyes and looked at Xu Beijin, then changed the conversation, but asked: "Boss, have you ever been in contact with the daughter of the owner of the shop next door?"

Xu Beijin: "..."

No, no, no, you don’t suspect him as a murderer, do you? !

Xu Beijin's smile gradually disappeared.
