Chapter 678 The strangeness of the locals

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 It’s normal for players to disappear. Don’t there also be players missing from the hotel?

The difference is that in a hotel, players are trying to trick players, but if you stay in a B&B, you can use local people to block you.

"Are you going to stay in a B&B today?" Tian Kunwen came over and asked Xu Huo and Yi Pei.

Yi Pei didn't reveal what happened last night to Tian Kunwen and others, but living so close, Tian Kunwen and Fu Danhong also knew that Yi Pei left Xu Huo's room very late.

Fu Danhong looked at Yi Pei with a look of disdain. Tian Kunwen said nothing, but Wei Xian next to him looked at Xu Huo more.

"Someone knocked on the door again last night. I was probably targeted. It would be safer to stay in a B&B." Xu Huo explained.

"B&Bs may not be safe." Tian Kunwenduo said, "Someone disappeared there last night."

So far, players don’t actually know how many people have come to this county. You can check the registration book here at the hotel, but it’s hard to count at the B&B. There are hundreds of households here. It’s impossible for players not to come out.

Go door to door and investigate.

The two groups parted ways, and Yi Pei asked Xu Huo which house he planned to live in. "I'll go to the house where I talked to Fu Danhong yesterday."

Xu Huo nodded. There was a man with evil eyes in that house, but to the player, he was just an ordinary person. Yi Pei had her reasons for choosing this house.

The two of them were walking on the street and happened to bump into the player they had met yesterday. It was not the one who beat him, but the one who took his companion away from Xu Huo.

Yesterday they went in and out together, but today only one is left.

The man gave Xu Huo a cold look and walked past him expressionlessly. However, just a few steps away from the two of them, the player quietly walked around behind Xu Huo and shot out a white light from his palm!

"Bang!" The white light hit the moving metal as if it had substance. The next second, Xu Huo disappeared from the place and appeared in front of the player!

The other person looked surprised, and his conditioned reflex was to retreat. However, when he looked down, he found that his legs seemed to be detached from his body.

At this moment, Xu Huo quickly knocked on his shoulder and opened the distance between them.

Powder flew out of the man's clothes, and the man's face changed drastically, and he raised his head in shock.

Melting the metal protective suit the other party wore under his clothes, Xu Huo smiled and said, "Your friend is missing?"

The opponent's eyes darkened, and then he slapped his leg fiercely. He broke away from the restrained state and climbed up the nearby courtyard wall in two steps. He jumped two feet high and hit him with a hammer in both hands!

The hammer looked small, but the air flow it stirred up created a pressure surface several times larger than itself. Even Yi Pei, who was standing next to him, felt his shoulders sink.

"Ding!" Xu Huo stood there, his lighter lighting up at the player opposite.

The person who was flying in the air with great momentum a second ago suddenly turned into a firebird, smashed to the ground with props, and kept rolling!

The screams attracted several players and surrounding residents. Xiaoyun squeezed out from behind the crowd and hurriedly said: "What are you doing standing still? Hurry and save people!"

At this time, the people around him started to move, pouring bucket after bucket of water on the player.

Even if the three-level fire in an instant cannot seriously injure the player, it can still make the opponent suffer without any defensive items to protect the body.

Under Xiaoyun's command, everyone was busy trying to carry the person away. Someone asked: "How can a good person catch fire?"

"Maybe he did something that was punished by God." Xu Huo said, "Maybe he offended the god you worshiped."

"Bang!" The stretcher that had just been lifted was thrown back to the ground in a second. The residents surrounding it stared condescendingly at the people on it, with different faces and the same eyes, as if they were looking at a dead person.

"Is it my imagination?" Yi Pei walked to Xu Huo and lowered his voice: "I think these people seem to be a little slower than the day before yesterday."

As soon as she finished speaking, several aunts nearby spat at the burned player and cursed at the top of their lungs, "Ignorant little beast, you deserve to be burned. God will come and take you away tonight!"

The injured player had no words to defend and had no point in defending. He glanced at Xu Huo who was standing a few meters away, got up and ran.

An aunt even chased him and shouted: "Everyone, remember this little brat, don't let him live at home!"

The man turned around and looked at him bitterly before leaving in a hurry.

As soon as the person left, the people around started to gossip again, how did you sleep last night, what did you eat for breakfast today, what was the child's disobedience like?

But if you look closely, you will find that although he is chatting, his eyes are staring at nearby players from time to time.

It is an extremely uncomfortable gaze. You can often see several people staring directly at you when you tilt your head, but in the blink of an eye they return to normal, as if they are dazzled.

Yi Pei only had a vague feeling, "Do you still want to stay in a B&B?"

"The hotel may not be safe." Xu Huo glanced at the gray sky and said, "It might rain later."

Yi Pei frowned, "It's not a good thing if it rains in the dungeon."

Xu Huo nodded and separated from her. He went to the small courtyard where the grandparents and grandson lived yesterday and put down a wad of white money and a bag of snacks.

The little girl didn't feel anything about the white money, but she stared at the snacks and swallowed her saliva.

The old man's eyes were unbearable, and he hesitated before saying, "I don't have a good room for you to live in."

"You can live in the main room, I just want a place to stay." Xu Huo looked at the locked side door and gave the girl another hundred yuan, "Go to the restaurant to buy some dishes, and I'll treat you to dinner."

This time, the little girl took the money and ran out without waiting for her grandfather to nod.

The old man sat at the door and sighed silently, and continued to work on his hands. It was very quiet inside and outside the courtyard, only the sound of the rustling file grinding against the wood was left.

After lunch, Xu Huo planned to go out for a walk. The old man looked at him and said, "Don't go to the forest and pond. It's unlucky to bury the dead."

Xu Huo turned around and thanked him, held up his umbrella and walked slowly towards the woods.

The drizzle is dense, the light is darker than in the morning, and there are large groups of dark clouds gathering in the distance, with the tendency of getting heavier and heavier.

Not far after entering the woods at the end of the hotel, he was surrounded by several players, led by the curly-haired player Fang Penghui.

"Is something wrong?" Xu Huo looked at him.

"The couple who just came yesterday are dead." Fang Penghui said: "They followed you into the woods."

"Do you have any friendship?" Xu Huo asked back.

"No," Fang Penghui said, "I'm not here to cause trouble, I just want to know what happened here last night and how did you come out alive?"

Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you are very sure that I didn't kill him?"

Fang Penghui paused and said, "They died miserably."
