From this evening, you can live next to the Pope, and the priest Yu said he felt very relieved.

After a few teammates met at the Necromancer Tavern, everyone reviewed the current situation again.

Known: 1. All six people in the Anderson family died, and the six people correspond to the places where the six players are. At present, the ghosts of Alice and Mary have been summoned, and the two manors have become high-risk areas.

2. Places that have not played ghost games: circus, caravan, knights, Holy See, medical hall (whether there are ghosts in the medical hall, doubtful)

3. Unplayed ghost games: "Hide and Seek", see ghosts in the right eye (the number of games is not enough, still needs to be investigated)

On everyone's game interface, you can see the newly unlocked illustration, which is an explanation of ghost information.

【Alice Anderson】

[The lonely little girl has been staying in the manor where she grew up. It seems that she has not been able to set foot in many places in her life. Every cold winter, she can only look out through a small window. 】

[When you step into her territory, be careful to be seen by her, otherwise - you will experience the same feeling as her. Where she is, there will always be a disease spreading. 】

【Mary Anderson】

[Poor Mary, fell from a high building and slammed her head on a stone. Twisted limbs, she can only crawl like a spider now]

[When you step into her territory, be careful to be caught by her. She, who can only move with a broken body, is now madly jealous of every intact person. Or, she also wants to change to a new body...]

"Since 'being seen' 'disease' corresponds to Alice, my previous analysis should be correct - she died because of the disease," Hei Changzhi said: "There is a very important point, you were in the black before. The accident happened in the house because of seeing her."

This girl doesn't want to be seen.

As for Mary's appearance, all six of them had seen it at the time. The monster that jumped from the third floor landed on all fours, and its movements were very twisted but with the speed of a normal person running wildly.

"The 'punishment measures' for entering each high-risk area are different, but this also gave me a new idea - will there be times when we need to go in specifically?" Mushroom continued, "After all, the more The more dangerous the place, the more likely there are clues."

This analysis is not without reason.

If they can keep avoiding high-risk areas, that kind of place doesn't make sense unless they're just gradually shrinking their safe area.

"Write it down first, and see what happens next." Morningstar tapped on the paper full of information, "I found a more important piece of information - Duke Anderson seems to be having an affair."

Everyone listened carefully to what Morning Star said.

It turned out that Duke Anderson often appeared in the Knights before his death, and the rumors about him there were naturally more specific than other places. According to rumours, the Duke had a close relationship with a well-known liquor girl in the biggest bar in town, and the relationship seems to have lasted quite some time.

"I spent a lot of time inquiring. This affair is very likely to be true. The name of the bar and the liquor girl is also here. I just don't know if she is still selling liquor there," Chenxing pulled out a note. , "Maybe you can find time to take a look."

In line with the principle that since there is information, it is better to confirm the authenticity now, the group of six quickly arrived at the "Oak Bar" mentioned by Morningstar. Although it is not open during the day, it can still pass all the way with Bigg's ability to spend money. .

However, here, they did not find the liquor saleswoman whose stage name was "Lily". When they asked other NPCs, the answers they got were also evasive.

Sensing that there might be something hidden, Big used his ability to control NPCs with money, and they got such news from another liquor girl.

"After the Anderson family accident, Lily ran away a long time ago, and I don't know why, but the day she left, she seemed to be very flustered, and it felt like she was going to run for her life, and she didn't get the salary for the month... but I later paid I heard others say that she seems to be hiding in the old town..."

The information the wine saleswoman can give is also limited, but the old town allows the six to immediately contact another piece of information: the caravan area where the astrologers gather, right in the old town.

When Hei Changzhi proposed this coincidence, the task interface was refreshed again.

[Please start the game "Hide and Seek" in the caravan area within 24 hours, and look for the key character "Lily"]

There was still the same countdown as before, and they had to finish the game tonight.

"Do these two things have to happen at the same time?" Mushroom guessed: "The caravan area corresponds to Mrs Anderson, and the dancer lives there now. Maybe it means that if we don't find her tonight, she will be arrested. Mrs Anderson's ghost injury?"

Mrs. Anderson was superstitious in astrology before her life, often went to the caravan area where astrologers gathered, and was willing to spend a lot of money, which can be said to be very popular with those who help with astrology.

"Hide and Seek" was originally a game that Morningstar discovered, and he repeated the rules again.

"Several people first define a place, then get together and stand in a circle, everyone shouts 'let's play hide-and-seek, first come and see, who is going to be a ghost, three, two, one, find it, you are a ghost' You can choose a person to be a ghost to catch people, the ghost will count down blindfolded for one minute, and then shout 'the ghost is looking for you' to start looking for people, and the rest is the same as the general hide-and-seek rules."

Mushroom: "But what if Mrs. Anderson is a 'ghost' looking for someone? She's not among us."

And although the rules are roughly the same, everyone knows it in their hearts. Generally, if you catch someone in hide-and-seek, you will be counted as one. If you don't catch them in time, you will lose the "ghost", but if you play this game with Mrs. Anderson, once you are caught, you should is to die.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Hei Changzhi said, "Let's go first, I have a solution."

After dark that night, everyone came to the caravan area where the astrologer played by Lulu was located. This area is a place where foreigners like her have settled. Helping people with astrology is an effective means of making a living. After all, the local The degree of superstition among the residents is not low, especially nobles like Mrs. Anderson, who wish to invite astrologers to their homes, and do a divination before doing anything.

The old town is like a big circle, and the caravan area wrapped in it is just a small area, but the density of living is very high. They scoured the neighborhood first, but as expected, they couldn't find any clues about Lily at all.

Hide-and-seek and looking for Lily, I am afraid that really must be carried out simultaneously.

As the night gets darker, it is imperative to play ghost tricks. Hei Changzhi asked Lulu at this time, "Is there any tree nearby that is tall enough?"

Lu Lu thought for a while, and brought a few people to a place. The edge of the caravan area is connected by a small forest.

"Okay," Hei Changzhi looked up, "I have a guess, maybe Mrs. Anderson can be recruited."

She took out a piece of rope and drew a circle on it. "Do you remember? Mrs. Anderson was hanged."

Among the information that Morningstar had obtained by using the identity of the knight commander earlier, there was information about the cause of death of the Anderson family. Because of the limited level of technology in this era, Alice was not found to have a strange cause of death, but Mrs. Anderson had a real problem-although her body was also severely burned, the bones in her neck were broken.

Although it is impossible to determine whether she hanged herself when the fire broke out because she could not escape, or had already hanged herself before the fire broke out, the question of the remains is clearly there.

"You mean to hang a sling here?" Yu Yuan responded quickly.

"Yes, before you saw Alice and Mary, you have to have tips on how to die. I think Mrs. Anderson is the same," Hei Changzhi explained as clearly as possible, "The two girls remain in the state they were when they died, Mrs. Anderson. It will definitely appear in the form of hanging."

In the game of "hide and seek", the people involved in the game need to count down to "three, two, one" and choose a ghost. They have to choose Mrs. Anderson.

"I originally thought that I needed someone to take the upper body, but since I have more reasonable doubts, I can give it a try." Chen Xing also supported.

In this way, they decided to try the idea of ​​Hei Changzhi first.

Morningstar picked up the agile mushroom, and the two reached a height high enough to hang a rope on the lowest branch.

After hanging up, everyone looked at the upper sling, which was gently blown by the wind, and always felt that there was something unspeakably strange.

"Okay, let's determine tonight's task first," Hei Changzhi, who is currently the most intellectually capable, quickly summed up the key points, "First of all, we have to complete this game of hide-and-seek. If nothing else happens, we will There should be clues to find Lily, the wine seller."

"Since the game doesn't say when it will end, let me make a bold guess - maybe when we find Lily, hide and seek will end. Of course, this is just my personal guess, and the specific situation may have to be temporarily analyzed."

The biggest difference between the third ghost game and the previous two games is that they are not summoned to summon ghosts, but only use each other as the object responsible for capturing them in the game of hide and seek. This also means that they may not be able to communicate with Mrs. Anderson at all and obtain any information.

The key to this game should be—finding Lily. Find her and get more information about the Anderson family.

"Anyone still have any questions? We will definitely spread out after the game starts, and then everyone will have to rely on themselves."

Hide-and-seek, catch one counts as one, they definitely can't get together.

"Well, if there are so many people here, can you really find Lily?" Mushroom looked at the crowd with a little worry, "The population density in the old city is too high, and we don't know the scope of hide-and-seek at present."

"I can't help it, I can only take one step at a time. Maybe there will be new rules after the game starts. By the way, everyone knew Lily's appearance before, with long blond hair, green eyes, and a medium stature," Hei Changzhi repeated. Once again, "The most important thing is that she has a birthmark on her hand, which is the most crucial evidence."

Hide and seek, like a game of ghosts coming to them, and like they are looking for Lily who is hiding. Lily's colleague also said before that she seemed to disappear suddenly because she wanted to avoid something, leaving no information behind and her whereabouts a mystery.

No way, it just started like this.

There were still many people coming and going at night in the caravan area next to it. It looked very lively, and the old streets were still brightly lit. But the more NPCs gathered here, the more uneasy the six players were. After all, who could have predicted what the scene would look like when the lady's ghost really arrived.

In this world, they are all outsiders.

After getting ready, the six people stood in a circle under the tree according to the rules of the game that Morningstar had brought before, but with a little improvement, a place under the upper sling was vacated.

Everyone looked at each other and started shouting in unison: "Let's play hide and seek, let's find out who's going to be the ghost, three, two—"

This moment seems to be very long. It is obviously a word that children will sing when playing games. When they say it in this situation, it is inevitable that some people will get cold behind their backs.

Lu Lu suddenly shouted loudly: "Wait a minute!"

"Wait first, since we're looking for Lily, why don't we just divide the labor and cooperate," Lulu spoke quickly, "My skill is foreknowledge, and there are astrological signs tonight that can allow me to use my skills - as long as I foresee who is not in danger , it should be safer to let the safe people go to Lily first."

Among the six of them, there is only Lulu who has not used skills so far, and she is indeed the most special one. There are stars in the sky, which means there are no restrictions, and skills can be activated tonight.

No one spoke, it seemed that they all acquiesced. Lulu glanced at everyone, took out an astrolabe-like thing from the bag she was carrying, sat directly on the ground and closed her eyes.

Others have their own ideas.

Lulu's main skills and auxiliary skills are both precognition, the former can predict a certain segment in the future, and the latter can predict who will be in danger and should be able to avoid it to some extent.

It was already their third night in the game, and the game itself had a death elimination mechanism, so it would be reasonable to have dead people from now on.

Everyone couldn't help swallowing, and Yu Yuan also looked at the other astrologers who were dressed similar to Lulu in front of the caravan not far away.

The night sky seems to be extraordinarily clean tonight, not many clouds cover, but there is a night wind, which has been blowing the hanging rope on the branch to and fro.

After a while, Lulu let out a cry and quickly opened her eyes.

"I saw it - the future scene is that Big's face is full of blood, his breathing is very weak, and I can't see the rest." Lulu half-squinted and looked at the other five people, "Omen of death Appearing on Bai Cai, it feels very close, maybe tonight."

Bai Cai is the name of Hei Changzhi.

The faces of the two people who were called changed slightly, but they were not panicked.

Morning Star: "Okay, then after the hide-and-seek starts, the four of us will find Lily first, the two of you will hide first, and take your own safety as the first guarantee—if you can't, try to find a way to ask for help. The rule of hide-and-seek must be caught before it counts. "

No one knows whether this can reduce the possibility of Big and Hei Changzhi encountering a dead end, but at least it is a little guarantee.

Hei Changzhi: "Okay, let's start."

They start the game of hide and seek again.

"Let's play hide-and-seek, find out who's going to be the ghost, three, two, one—"

As the countdown ended, the six simultaneously pointed their fingers to the empty space under the upper sling, as if a seventh person was actually standing there to join their game.

The voices of the six people seemed to become a little distorted at this moment.

"I found it, you are a ghost."

The upper sling was blown again by the wind.

Hei Chang looked straight at the map, and sure enough, a red circular area including the caravan area began to appear on it.

"run!"

In fact, before she could say this, everyone was already running away in the direction they were looking forward to, and they all had a place to hide in their hearts.

After separating from his teammates, Yu Yuan was heading towards a nearby street that was full of two-story western-style buildings. The result he envisioned was to hide in the second-story building first, so that it would be easier to move around, and secondly, the view was not bad.

But as he ran there, the place began to change slowly, as if back to a silent time and space. There were some lively people not far away, as if the mute button was pressed. Then, they His figure gradually became blurred, and his movements became slow, like an old black and white movie that was out of focus.

This change may be a response to the question raised by the mushroom before. In the huge old city, maybe only the six of them are normal.

Yu Yuan glanced at the map while running, and saw that the range given above was actually quite large, covering almost the entire old city.

If Mrs. Anderson doesn't have any additional skills, if you just find it like this, the six of them can move places at any time. It doesn't seem to be difficult? Just don't know how to start looking for Lily.

Thirty seconds countdown.

A scream resounded through the night sky from under the tree where the sling was originally hanging, as if to remind them that it was about to start.

The original NPCs in the twisted world seem to no longer react to the player's actions, like vague walking dead. Yu Yuan ran to a foreign-style building that he thought was far enough, and pushed open the door to go in to the second floor, but the moment he saw the scene on the first floor, he was stunned for a moment.

I saw that hanging from the beams in the house turned out to be hanging ropes one after another!

The visual impact of this scene is really not small, he took a deep breath, quickly shifted the time from the upper sling, and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

In the bedroom facing the street, he emptied a wardrobe and didn't hide for a while, but just found an angle where he could see the situation on the street, and wanted to determine if there were other game mechanics.

Not long after.

A strange bell seemed to sound from a distance, and then slowly approached the street again.

This voice... Yu Yuan suddenly thought of astrologers like Lulu, some not only wearing accessories, but also wearing a lot of bells during astrology, maybe just for effect.

It should be Mrs. Anderson who came. She is superstitious in astrology, and the bell sound should remind the player that she is approaching, otherwise, if the ghost is really haunted, it will be a complete death.

As the bell sounded closer and closer, Yu Yuan quickly opened the closet door next to him and hid in. He had to make sure the sound was far enough away before he could act.

However, he didn't seem to be lucky this time. Not only did the bell sound not weaken, but it also intensified with the wind. It could be predicted that the lady was approaching him.

Yu Yuan wasn't sure if Madam had any way to find someone, maybe her perspective would have additional hints, maybe not. All he could do now was to keep quiet and not attract the other party to the building where he was.

However, at this moment, Yu Yuan, who was huddled in the closet, felt that there seemed to be something more in the empty half of the closet beside him.

Couldn't be Mrs Anderson...

In the darkness, a familiar voice rang in his ears.

"have not seen you for a long time."

With the sound of the bell just stopped for a moment, Yu Yuan almost screamed out in shock. In a space that is not too big, the two sides are closely attached.

"Shh, you should be quiet now and don't move."

The next second, a hand touched the priest's waist.

"We might as well settle some old accounts first - you seem to have made up a lot of things about me."
