The fat man went to pick up lanterns in a hurry.
Just as Gu Mian was waiting for the fat man to pick up the lantern, he saw the door of the green room in the distance suddenly opened a crack, and a green man came out of it.
Mr. Green is really a green person now, because Gu Mian saw that his face turned green at this time, and he seemed a little angry.
He looked this way angrily, but after meeting Gu Mian's gaze, he calmed down his expression.
At this time, the fat man had already picked up the lantern, and Mr. Green also tidied his clothes and walked over to this side.
The fat man saw Mr. Green at a glance and his face changed color: "Ah? Mr. Green has come out. What's going on with that face?"
Gu Mian shook her head sincerely: "I don't know."
Seeing Mr. Green walking this way, the fat man took the opportunity to speak to Gu Mian next to him: "Doctor, when I went to pick up lanterns just now, I found that there seemed to be many lanterns above our heads that were not lit."
Gu Mian looked up after hearing this.
It was exactly as the fat man said. The lanterns above the three people's heads were originally densely lit, but now most of them were extinguished.
Gu Mian looked toward the distance along the lantern above her head, and saw that the lanterns in the distance did not appear to be in this condition. It seemed that only half of the lanterns here were extinguished.
At this time, Chu Changge next to him suddenly said: "It was already like this when we came out of the green room just now."
well?
The fat man frowned in confusion. Was this the case just now? He didn't pay attention.
At this time, Mr. Green had already walked quickly to Gu Mian on his short legs. He seemed to have discovered the problem with the lanterns above his head. He looked up at these lanterns several times on the way. Although he looked at them many times, he did not say anything.
The question came, as if it had been expected.
Mr. Green stopped, coughed a few times, then raised his head and asked, "Did you twist her hair?"
Gu Mian looked down at him: "Didn't you go in and take a look?"
Mr. Green was choked, and his face suddenly turned greener.
Gu Mian then spoke again: "But it wasn't me who did it, it was Chu Changge."
Chu Changge pushed up his glasses beside him, and then flicked his sleeves. The sharp-eyed Mr. Green saw that there seemed to be some hair residue left on his sleeves.
"Okay, okay," Mr. Green waved his hand: "I just didn't notice for a while... You must never do this kind of thing again in the future. You know this is an activity in the real world, and nothing can happen."
."
As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the extinguished lanterns above his head, showing an expression of lingering fear.
At this time, Chu Changge's voice suddenly came from the side: "Do you know why the lanterns above your head suddenly went out?"
Mr. Lu looked at Chu Changge and saw a strange light in the eyes of this amiable man, as if he was planning some conspiracy.
Seeing Chu Changge's expression, Mr. Green's hair exploded: "I don't know anything, don't ask me!"
There really is no three hundred taels of silver here.
Looking at his attitude, it doesn't look like he doesn't know anything.
However, Chu Changge was not in a hurry. He then spoke slowly: "The three of us seemed to have discovered something interesting in the green room just now."
Mr. Green's brows jumped and he looked up at the people in front of him: "What did you find?"
Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "As far as I know, there were at least five people who went in before us, but we didn't find any living person after we went in. You also went in, so you probably didn't see any.
A living person."
Mr. Green seemed to swallow his saliva.
The fat man was holding a lantern next to him, wondering what he was thinking.
Gu Mian raised his head and glanced at the still-lit lanterns above his head.
These lanterns are attached to some wires that cross the sky. At first glance, these wires look like wires pulled from telephone poles.
"But then we discovered that the people who entered did not disappear out of thin air." Chu Changge continued: "They did not disappear, but were swallowed up by that room."
As he spoke, he looked towards the green house.
In the dark, the ugly-colored house looked like a giant beast crawling on the ground, which was a little disgusting.
"We noticed that there was a bumpy ground. If we looked closely, we saw that there was a protrusion similar to the shape of a hand on the ground. But after a while, the protrusion slowly disappeared; I thought it should have been killed by a ghost.
After death, the body was devoured by this house."
"Actually, when I first entered this event, I discovered that the layout of this place is different from before..."
Gu Mian had already thought about it seriously. He remembered that when Chu Changge first entered this event, he said that the layout here was different from before.
But he racked his brains and couldn't remember when Chu Changge came to Hengdian.
The two met in an orphanage. Although their childhood sweetheart dreams were ruthlessly shattered, the relationship between the two later became good.
Gu Mian really couldn't remember when Chu Changge had been here alone.
"Some places have been changed." Chu Changge was still talking: "Originally I thought it was a simple change, but now it seems that is not the case."
The place that has been modified seems to have awakened the 'swallowing' function.
Can devour player corpses.
Gu Mian couldn't help but think of the growth of plants. Plants also need fertilizer to grow, and animal carcasses are the best fertilizer.
This also coincides with their previous speculation.
This activity is indeed sacrificing players and then using it to provide for some unknown existence.
So what exactly is being supplied?
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Mr. Green's forehead, and he took a small step back: "Why are you so suspicious?"
Gu Mian has always felt that Mr. Green's IQ is not very high, and she felt it when she first saw him in the dungeon.
Because he never seems to use the right idioms.
I'm afraid he has the lowest IQ among the NPCs in this game. He can't tell lies and all his thoughts are written on his face.
"Okay." Mr. Green was eager to change the subject, as if he didn't know how to cover it up: "It's already past ten o'clock now. You go to guess the lantern riddles quickly. I'll follow behind."
The event will last until 12 o'clock in the morning, and the event will end in less than two hours.
As Mr. Green spoke, he walked towards the female ghost behind him, but as soon as he took a few steps, he noticed something hanging around the female ghost's neck.
He opened his eyes wide and stared at the small speaker on the female ghost's neck: "Why did you put this thing on her!"
Gu Mian spread her hands: "I think it looks pretty good."
Mr. Green: "..."
Without further nonsense with Mr. Green, Gu Mian and the other three began to look for the ‘bath’ mentioned on the other lantern.
[Find a bathing pool with a skeleton by the water, hold the skeleton and sink to the bottom of the water. What will happen to the skeleton? 】
It turns out that the bathhouse is not easy to find, and the one with the skeleton is even harder to find.
Several people walked a long distance without finding any bathtub with skeletons. On the contrary, Chu Changge seemed to have discovered something else.
Just when Gu Mian was about to get into a small room nearby to see if there was any bathtub, Chu Changge suddenly leaned over and spoke softly: "Have you noticed anything wrong with the wires hanging the lanterns above your head?"
After hearing this, Gu Mian looked up and saw that there was indeed something wrong.
The threads on which the lanterns were hung were either sparse or dense. Gu Mian looked at them carefully for a long time and then thought of something.
"Like blood vessels." He touched his chin: "If this activity absorbs player corpses and converts them into nutrients, then those nutrients must be transported through these blood vessels."
If we connect all the clues we got before...
This activity will devour the player's corpse. These threads are like blood vessels. All lanterns are connected by threads, and each lantern has a ghost parasitizing it...
So those nutrients are transmitted to the lantern through these wires, and then make the ghost stronger!
So that’s it…
Thinking of this, Gu Mian subconsciously asked: "If this is really the case, where is the heart?"
The fat man's brows twitched, and he immediately glanced vaguely at Mr. Green, who was hiding far behind.
Fortunately, Mr. Green was far away, so he didn't hear the words "I want to go straight to the heart".
