Chapter Forty-Four

At this moment, the familiar mechanical voice rang in his ears, pulling Wen Jianyan back from his delicate emotions:

[Congratulations to the host for triggering the scene: Memories killing]

[Please host to reproduce the events that happened in the 1304 room]

What happened in 1304...wasn't that the mass poisoning incident of a family of four!

Wen Jianyan: "..."

fuck you.

What a mission!

It's really reappearing, I'm not cold anymore!

Seeing Wen Jianyan not moving his chopsticks for a long time, the paper figurine leaned over, with a pale face approaching, carefully examining the human face in front of him, and his voice was still gentle as if dripping water:

"Xiuqing, what's the matter? Is it not to your liking?"

The two paper children also approached, each holding Wen Jianyan's arm. Their fingers were cold and stiff, like iron hoops tightly clasping the young man's arm, making him unable to break free.

"Dad, what's the matter, don't you like today's meal?"

They raised their heads and stared at Wen Jianyan with those dull eyes that seemed to be painted on, with bright and affectionate smiles on their lips.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath and collected himself.

He raised his eyes and looked at the paper figurine wife in front of him, with a skillful smile on his lips: "Thank you dear, you have worked hard."

He didn't forget that the type of this dungeon is a role-playing limited time dungeon.

Although Wen Jianyan didn't know much about dungeons above C level, but based on the information he had learned in the anchor hall before, he had a vague guess about the internal operation rules of this dungeon.

At least in this case, he must maintain the status of "husband" in order to survive.

"Honey, the food you cook is so delicious, I feel a little too sorry for being the only one eating it."

Wen Jianyan's nervous palms were sweating, but the expression on his face was still gentle and natural, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, with a smile that was almost pampering

The three paper figurines in front of them remained motionless, and the expressions on their faces remained the same as before. They looked very creepy and terrifying, but their smiles seemed to become brighter:

"Honey, you're right, of course the whole family should have dinner together."

The woman turned her head to look at the other two paper children: "Quick, sit down, let's eat with Dad."

"No, I mean..."

Wen Jianyan changed the subject: "We haven't called Mom over yet."

As soon as these words came out, the three paper figurines instantly turned their heads and looked straight in this direction.

According to the information provided by the neighbor, the family's mother-in-law lived across the street, and it was she who discovered the family's body and became insane because of it.

She is the only survivor in the family.

"Dinner is for the whole family, isn't it?"

Wen Jianyan held his breath slightly, all the muscles in his body tensed subconsciously, nervously waiting for the other party's answer - he was already prepared, if something went wrong, he would use the props immediately.

"Xiuqing, you are right."

The paper figurine smiled: "Mom hasn't come yet."

"Look, I forgot."

The two paper children slowly let go of Wen Jianyan's arms, with pale and stiff smiles still on their faces, but their eyes were full of anticipation: "Dad, go ask grandma to have dinner together."

Wen Jianyan lowered her eyes and fondled the paper figurine's hair:

"Okay, I'll go now."

The paper figurine's head felt very hard to the touch, and under his movements there was a scratching sound of paper rubbing against it, which made his skin crawl.

Wen Jianyan quickly withdrew her hand and walked towards the door.

The pace is very steady, neither fast nor slow, and there is no trace of escape at all.

It wasn't until the door behind him was closed, blocking the three paper figurines smiling and watching him, that Wen Jianyan jumped up as if his **** was on fire, and rushed straight towards the elevator hall like he was having fun—

[Integrity First] In the live broadcast room:

"Hahahahahahaha the traditional skill of running away if you can't beat it is online again!"

"The first task of Tanling anchor is really difficult. Basically, it is to open the door to kill. Even if you survive the first level by chance and enter the hidden branch line, because the information on the identity card is too little and the time is too tight, it is basically very difficult. It’s hard to find a way to break it.”

"Yes, according to the experience of [Antai Community] that I have watched so many times, the anchors who survived the first main mission basically rely on props to break through the level violently. I remember that the price of the props is quite high? "

"That's right, and it can only be unlocked by a C-level mall. I remember that the anchor is just a D-level, right?"

"Hahahahahahaha yes, the dog liar is done now."

"But it's not necessarily true. I remember that a streamer figured out the correct solution before. Up to now, the route the streamer took is similar. Let's read on. I think he might be fine!"

The dark corridor stretches into the distance, and there is no end in sight.

In the dark corridor ahead, a glimmer of light slowly appeared.

Wen Jianyan subconsciously speeded up.

However, what appeared in front of him was not the stairwell and the elevator, on the contrary, the door panel marked with 1304 appeared in front of Wen Jianyan again.

Very well, ghosts hit the wall.

Wen Jianyan stopped, and although it was expected, she still sighed regretfully.

No wonder the three paper figurines didn't mind him leaving the room at all, it was predicted that he wouldn't be able to escape.

But, man, you have to try after all, right?

Wen Jianyan looked at the number plate 1304 anxiously, and thought of the three paper figurines inside the door, he couldn't help shrinking his shoulders and shivering.

it seems...

Now he only has the option of calling her mother-in-law.

Wen Jianyan took a deep breath slowly, looked away, tentatively raised her hand and pushed open the door of 1326 opposite.

The unlocked door slowly slid inward, and a strong smell of incense and ashes came over the face. The light in the room was extremely dim, and the living room was full of debris, making it almost impossible to stay.

"…mom?"

He lowered his voice and shouted in a low voice.

"Xiuqing, is that you?"

A hoarse and old voice sounded from the depths of the room: "Mom is here."

Wen Jianyan carefully stepped over the debris on the ground and walked towards the direction of the sound.

In the depths of the room, a similar shrine is hidden in the darkness, and the electronic candles flicker with a faint red light, coating the narrow space with a reddish shimmer.

An old man is kneeling in front of the shrine, and seems to be bowing to the Bodhisattva.

She heard Wen Jianyan's footsteps and turned her head to look over.

The faint and dim light smeared on her old side face, like a wrinkled old walnut, she seemed to have lost her sight, and was squinting at Wen Jianyan at the moment.

Actually...not a paper figurine?

Wen Jianyan was taken aback.

Although the light is dim, it can still be seen that the old man in front of him is a real human face, not a pale and stiff paper shell.

"Mom, it's time to eat."

Wen Jianyan said tentatively.

"Really, well, I'm here." The old man tremblingly stretched out his hand to Wen Jianyan: "Xiuqing, help Mom, her legs are numb."

Wen Jianyan took two steps forward.

Only then did he see clearly that the lower body of the other party kneeling on the futon was wearing black paper pants and simple paper shoes, and the skin exposed from the gaps in the shoes and socks showed a paper-like rough texture under the light.

Wen Jianyan suddenly realized.

The opponent's waist has been completely turned into paper. Although the upper body has not changed, it is estimated that the distance from completely turning into a paper figure is almost the same.

He helped the old man up.

The opponent's body was light and light, although she was leaning firmly in his arms, Wen Jianyan couldn't feel the slightest weight, as if she could lift him up with one hand.

The old man squinted his eyes, patted Wen Jianyan's chest with his wrinkled hands like tree bark, and said:

"Xiuqing, let's go, mom is just hungry too."

[Integrity First] Cheers and celebrations have already begun in the live broadcast room:

"Oh, oh, oh, good! I didn't expect the anchor to unlock the correct route!"

"Hahahahahaha, I knew that this liar's brain is really good. Unlike other anchors with Tanling ID cards, he got a lot of information about 1304 by cheating and abducting, and he can solve it. This approach is also reasonable.”

"?? I haven't seen the copy of Antai District before, please answer it!"

"The task is to kill the memory. In fact, it means killing people according to the memory. Four people died here before. This time, it is enough to kill four people as usual. It is the same whether it is a husband or a mother-in-law. Just let the mother-in-law eat first." With the poison, this hidden route will be solved."

"Oh oh oh, I see! That's true, as long as there is enough information, it is quite easy to solve the correct answer!"

At this moment, the door behind the room let out a "squeak" and slowly opened.

Wen Jianyan was so frightened that his shoulders shook and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

I saw the three paper figurines watching them from the dark corridor, still with a stiff and bright smile on their faces: "Xiuqing, come quickly, dinner is ready, hurry up and bring mom over."

"We'll be waiting for you."

Wen Jianyan quickly lowered his eyes and glanced at the light and paper-like old woman in his arms. His mind was good. If he didn't understand the specific content of this hidden route before, after seeing this scene, he Also reacted immediately.

The other three people have already died, so they have completely turned into paper dolls

Although the mother-in-law is crazy, she is not dead, so in this space, she is just a half paper figurine.

The reason why those three paper figures let themselves go so easily just now, apart from the fact that he was really conscientiously playing the role of "husband", the main reason is probably...

This old woman is the real target.

After all, she is the only survivor and is truly "family".

That being the case...

The solution to this hidden route is already on the horizon.

—If you want to reproduce the original scene, you only need to die one more person.

Wen Jianyan weighed the weight of the old man in his arms, raised his eyes, and looked at the three paper figurines opposite.

"Honey, what are you waiting for? Come on." The paper figurine had a piercing smile on its face.

"..."

Wen Jianyan was silent for two seconds.

The young man's face was coated with a layer of light red by the dim light of the electronic candle, and the lines from the side face to the Adam's apple were clearly defined, making him look more graceful and elegant. He narrowed his amber eyes slightly and smiled shortly one time.

"Baby, to be honest, the food you cook is terrible."

"This day can't go on."

He sighed and said sadly:

"I've decided, let's get a divorce."
