Chapter 1081: Orthography

It's so quiet.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, this sentence can be said to be Liu Xing's biggest gain after entering the Cthulhu Run game hall, and Liu Xing has always taken this sentence as his creed.

So what kind of secrets will be hidden in this quiet castle?

Liu Xing felt that the mythical creatures hidden in this special mod should be in the scene.

"Be careful, everyone, the weeds over there are so lush that there may be snakes or something hidden in them." Liu Xing said in a low voice: "I think there should be no snake venom in this mirage, so if we encounter a poisonous snake, we will be in trouble." ”

Li Hanxing smiled, raised the spear in his hand and said, "Then let me take the lead, I promise to let you know what it means to scare the grass and scare the snake." ”

Saying that, Li Hanxing took the lead in the charge.

Liu Xing and the others shook their heads, and had to follow Li Hanxing's advance... Of course, Alice is still on a horse, because Liu Xing and others are very worried that there will be "horse thieves" here, and it will be very uncomfortable if it is infantry fighting cavalry...

Striking the grass and startling the snake is true.

Li Hanxing just casually pulled the grass a few times with his spear, and Liu Xing saw several colorful long snakes that were scattered and fled in all directions, it stands to reason that snakes with bright colors like this should be poisonous.

In addition to snakes, Liu Xing also saw several rats running around in the grass, which was really a nest of snakes and rats.

However, when he saw the mouse, Liu Xing subconsciously thought of the human-faced mouse.

To be honest, the atmosphere between the human-faced rat and the abandoned castle is quite a match.

"It seems that this castle has been abandoned for a long time, and it has become a paradise for wild animals, and I think that even if there was anything left in these houses, it must have been almost destroyed by these rats." Alice spoke.

Liu Xing nodded, and said a little helplessly: "It should be so, it seems that we can only pan for gold in the sand, if there is nothing to gain, it should be regarded as passing the time, after all, we don't know if those people in the main castle are members of the public faction." ”

As they spoke, Liu Xing and the others came to the first wooden house.

This wooden house seems to occupy a very large area, and there are a lot of windows, so Liu Xing and the others can clearly see that there are many single wooden beds in this wooden house, and there are quilts and pillows on the beds, but these quilts and pillows look tattered, and some quilts and pillows have mushrooms growing on them.

"Something is wrong, Alice, didn't you say that the former owner of this castle was forced to give up this castle because of his family's misfortune? But judging by the situation in this wooden house, it is more like the people here have suddenly left the castle together, without even bringing their own bedding. Sun Huiwen said with some confusion.

Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Sun Huiwen is right, if I am not mistaken, when ancient people went out or went to work in other places, they basically brought their own bedding, because most inns and hosts will not provide bedding, so the bedding was regarded as a kind of personal belongings in ancient times, and the original employees in this castle should not have left their personal belongings here when they were dismissed, unless they were in a very hurry, and they were directly driven out of the castle by others." ”

At this time, Alice was also puzzled, shook her head and said: "According to Zum, the original owner of this castle was determined to be dead after ten years of disappearance, and the title medal disappeared with the person, so the family was deprived of the title, and they naturally couldn't maintain this castle, so the family took the initiative to give up the castle, and the castle was restricted because no one was willing to take over, and then it was directly rewarded to Duke Gundogan; If this is the case, then the situation in this wooden house is indeed a bit strange, but there is a possibility that there is a group of doves taking over the magpie's nest after the castle was idle. ”

"Then let's go check it out first."

Li Hanxing said as he directly pushed open the wooden door.

As soon as the wooden door was opened, Liu Xing and the others could smell an indescribable stench, which included the smell of mold from wood and other items, as well as the smoky smell of animal excrement.

In addition, Liu Xing seemed to smell a strange floral fragrance.

This floral fragrance seems to be absent, and it makes it more difficult to get into the nose with other smells.

"It shouldn't be, this wooden house has so many windows to let in the air, and it can get sunlight, it shouldn't be so smelly in this room, and the most important thing is that we didn't smell so much outside the house just now." Li Hanxing said with his nose covered.

Hearing Li Hanxing say this, Liu Xing, who was walking at the end, subconsciously exited the room, only to find that the smell that was still around him, which could be said to be pervasive, suddenly faded a lot.

Liu Xing took another step forward, well, there is an inner taste.

Alice, who was still riding on a horse at this time, helping Liu Xing and the others to look at the wind, looked at Liu Xing a little strangely, not knowing what Liu Xing was doing when he repeatedly jumped sideways at the door.

Before Alice could ask, Liu Xing said with certainty: "There may be something wrong with this wooden house, I basically can't smell the smell outside the door, but I can smell the obvious smell just by entering the door, which is like an invisible barrier at the door, blocking the smell in the room." ”

Hearing Liu Xing say this, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen also came out and tried it, and found that it was really the case.

"It's kind of funny, it can't be natural, so I think someone must have done it on purpose, but what was he doing it for? Or is there anything in this cabin? Li Hanxing touched his chin and said, "Forget it, let's continue to go in and search, Alice, you help us watch a little outside, and if you find anything unusual, notify us as soon as possible, and we will leave this room as soon as possible." ”

At the same time, Sun Huiwen took out a pack of masks and gloves from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.

After putting on the masks, Liu Xing and the others entered the wooden house again and began to search the wooden house.

Judging from the furnishings in the wooden house, it should indeed be a dormitory, where about 20 people lived, so in addition to the single wooden beds, there were several tables lined up, on which were placed rough wooden cups and bamboo cups, as well as several bottles of open wine.

Wait a minute!

Liu Xing took a closer look and found that the wine was actually in glass bottles.

Although the invention of glass can be traced back a long time, the appearance of glass bottles had to wait until the invention and perfection of glass blowing technology, so glass bottles could not have appeared in the Middle Ages.

Liu Xing stepped forward quickly, picked up a bottle and looked at it.

Although there was no label on the bottle, Liu Xing still found the production date and batch wind information at the bottom of the bottle.

Obviously, it is very likely that these bottles were brought in from Restaurant "5".

Liu Xing hurriedly told Li Hanxing and others about this discovery.

"This is worthy of the most difficult mirage, I didn't expect there to be so many different main quests, or mission story lines." Li Hanxing said seriously: "If nothing else, maybe some outsiders were assigned to this castle before, and the task they need to complete should be to help the original owner of this castle recover the knighthood medal, but unfortunately they should have failed." ”

Sun Huiwen on the side shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, I think there was a group of thieves in the timeline before this mirage, these guys saw that there was no one in this castle and took this place as their temporary base, and these bottles are likely to be snatched from some outsiders, after all, this is still the Middle Ages, and wine bottles like this still look very precious." ”

Looking at Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, who were a little unconvinced by each other, Liu Xing shook his head and said: "Anyway, this place should be related to the outsiders who entered this mirage before us, and these outsiders are all from modern times, and the most important thing is that the people who once lived here should have suddenly disappeared for special reasons, or escaped, so we have to continue to search and find enough evidence to prove our guess." ”

After Liu Xing finished speaking, he continued to inspect the rest of the wooden house.

It didn't take long for Liu Xing to make another big discovery, that is, on the wall next to a single wooden bed, someone used the "positive" word counting method to carve three "positive" characters on it.

"Fifteen days? This group of players has been here for fifteen days? ”

Liu Xing touched his chin and decided to find some other developments before telling Li Hanxing and the others about it, because just these three "positive" words could not infer anything.

After searching around like this, Liu Xing set his eyes on the bedding on the bed.

To be honest, Liu Xing really didn't want to turn over these futons that were about to become indescribable, but Liu Xing's subconscious kept urging Liu Xing to open these futons, because these bedding contained real clues.

Therefore, Liu Xing could only take a deep breath... As a result, I almost suffocated my breath because I was wearing a mask.

When Liu Xing opened the quilt closest to him, he found a broken electronic watch, and the position of this electronic watch happened to be the position of the person's left hand when lying down normally.

Seeing this situation, a picture appeared in Liu Xing's mind - a person wearing an electronic watch was resting on the bed, but he suddenly disappeared directly, leaving only the electronic watch still in the bed.

But why is there only an electronic watch left? Could it be that this person likes to be free and free from anything outside when he sleeps?

Liu Xing thought about it, and opened another quilt next to him, only to find an identical electronic watch, and the location of this electronic watch was the right hand of the person when he was lying down.

Could it be that this is a couple's electronic watch, so the couple is wearing it according to the left and right of the woman?

But judging from the design of this electronic watch, it doesn't look like a couple's watch, right? And one thing to say, these two electronic watches don't seem to have any traces of design, which is a dial with several function buttons next to it.

Just when Liu Xing was thinking about the connection between these two electronic watches, Li Hanxing on the side also opened the quilt beside him.

"Huh? Liu Xing, come here, I also found a watch here. ”

Hearing Li Hanxing say this, Liu Xing immediately walked over and found that the electronic watch in Li Hanxing's hand was exactly the same as the two electronic watches he found.

Liu Xing thought about it, and immediately opened another quilt, and it turned out that there was also an electronic watch under the quilt.

At this time, Sun Huiwen also walked over with an electronic watch, frowned and said: "First of all, let's rule out a wrong option - this group of outsiders who entered the mirage bought a batch of electronic watches, and they all wore them when they came in. ”

"This should be unlikely, because the production time recorded under those wine bottles is after 2012, so it is difficult to have a market for electronic watches that sound good to be minimalist and retro, and to say that they have no sense of design, it is difficult to have a market in this period, let alone be able to fool so many people to bring them together; I think it's a mirage that gives out a timer to outsiders, or a mission-issuing device, so these electronic watches, no, this electronic device is left here when these people disappear for some reason. ”

"It seems that this mirage is a bit of a flower, and there are so many completely different game modes prepared, which is a little different from other mirages." Li Hanxing frowned.

Liu Xing thought for a while, sighed and said: "Let's collect all the electronic watches first, and then check whether these electronic watches can still be used normally, but these electronic watches can be regarded as proof that a group of outsiders like us once lived here." ”

So, Liu Xing and the three of them continued to lift the quilt, and sure enough, an electronic watch was found on every single wooden bed... In addition to Liu Xing's previous discovery of a single wooden bed with three "positive" characters carved on the wall next to it.

Liu Xing called Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen over again, "If nothing else, this person should be the lucky one who survives to the end of this group of outsiders, but I don't know what these three 'positive' words represent now, it seems that it is very likely to represent fifteen days, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple, maybe these three 'positive' words represent other meanings." ”
