174, Town Escape(1/2)
Yes, when Lin Wanwan violated a taboo and had to go out at night, Qi Yan just gave Lin Wanwan his props, but did not go out with her. At that time, Lin Wanwan did not know the seriousness of the matter.
, thinking nothing would happen if I went out.
At that time, all of them thought that it was Lin Wanwan's first time entering the mission world. She was in the novice stage and it was her first world, so the difficulty would not be too high.
So no one thought there was any problem with Qi Yan not accompanying Lin Wanwan, and they all felt that Qi Yan was willing to give Lin Wanwan his own props to save his life, which was enough to show how much he valued Lin Wanwan.
However, now that Qi Wang said this, Qian Xuyang reacted.
Yes, if Qi Yan really loved Lin Wanwan as much as he showed, Qi Yan should have followed Lin Wanwan when he went out yesterday, and when Lin Wanwan did not come back after arriving within the specified time, he did not
Go out and search.
What he did was completely different from the deep love he showed for Lin Wanwan.
Qian Xuyang thought more. He remembered that after learning about Lin Wanwan's death today, Qi Yan cried for a while, but then turned around and ran back to seek revenge on Qi Huan. He didn't even try.
Through the convergence of the forest, the bones curved.
Is this what it’s like to love someone deeply?
Obviously not. What he did was more like making excuses. Could it be that Lin Wanwan's death had anything to do with Qi Yan?
At this time, the two of them had already walked down the stairs, and Qian Xuyang told Qi Wang his guess.
Everyone who entered any world together rejected the original owner. In addition, he was not feeling well last night and did not come down to eat, so Qi Wang didn’t know what happened yesterday. When Qian Xuyang said this, Qi Wang
With a thought in my heart, I asked him a few questions.
Qian Xuyang did not hide anything from Qi Wang and briefly explained what happened yesterday.
"You were supposed to cook yesterday, but you didn't come, so the cooking fell to Lin Wanwan. At that time, I remember Qi Yan also went to the kitchen, but he came out not long after he went in."
Qi Yan said that there was not much space in the kitchen and the two of them could not turn around. Lin Wanwan did not need his help, so he let him out.
No one doubted Qi Yan's words. After all, the kitchen space is really not big. It would be better if one person is busy, but it would be a bit difficult for two people.
"So Lin Wanwan violated the taboo in the kitchen?"
Qian Xuyang shook his head,
He said uncertainly: "This is not clear yet, but we speculate that it is very likely that she violated taboos in the kitchen."
After violating the taboo, they must follow the mission instructions. If they refuse to do it, they will be directly deprived of life by the curse mark on their bodies. They still have a chance to survive if they do the mission. If they don't do it, there is really no way to survive.
However, after receiving the compulsory mission, Lin Wanwan has been with Qi Yan. At that time, Lin Wanwan was so frightened that no one could ask more questions after seeing her appearance. So how did she touch the taboo? Who
Not sure either.
"Qi Yan should be able to tell, but it's a pity that I just had a quarrel with him. With his temperament, he probably won't tell me. I'll ask other people later."
Qi Wang nodded and did not continue to dwell on this matter.
After coming down the stairs, facing the stairs was the cashier. Behind the tall cashier was a row of wine cabinets with a lot of wine on them. Qi Wang glanced at it and found that he had never seen the brands of those wines.
Yes, it seems to be a specialty wine of this small town.
According to Qian Xuyang, the place where they stayed was a B&B. Except for the owner of the B&B who showed up on the first day, he never showed up again.
Since it is a B&B, it would be a bit out of place to have a cashier and a wine cabinet here.
Qi Huan felt a little strange, so he took two steps forward to take a look at the cashier. But as soon as he took a step, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground next to him. Qi Huan paused for a moment and turned to look.
passed.
Opposite is a wall painted green, with several acrylic crystals pasted on the front. Those crystals are scattered on the wall, forming a very irregular pattern.
The sound he heard just now came from the wall. The other people should be upstairs. How could there be sound here?
Qi Huan thought so, turned around and walked towards the wall.
As he got closer, Qi Wang smelled a faint fishy smell. It smelled like freshly dried salted fish or eggs. It smelled very strange.
This wall is built along the stairs. As the stairs go, the wall is higher on one side and lower on the other. The higher side is as tall as a person, while the lower side is less than an inch high.
Qi Wang's nose moved and he walked towards the low place.
Qian Xuyang felt a little strange when he saw Qi Wang's movements. He walked to the corner of the stairs and then squatted down again.
body, as if looking at something.
In Qian Xuyang's opinion, Qi Huan's every move seemed very strange, but he did not speak rashly, he just stared at Qi Huan unblinkingly, wanting to see what he was doing.
"Qian Xuyang, give me a piece of paper."
Qi Wang shouted loudly.
Qian Xuyang hurriedly rummaged in his pocket and quickly found a napkin, took it out and handed it to Qi Huan.
"Brother Qi, what did you find?"
Qian Xuyang endured it, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked.
Qi Wang took the piece of paper and wiped it on the ground, then stood up, turned around and walked towards Qian Xuyang.
Qian Xuyang's eyes couldn't help but fall on the wad of paper held in Qi Huan's hand. When he saw that the originally white tissue had turned dark red, his expression suddenly changed.
"Is this human blood?"
Qi Huan shook his head: "It's not human blood. Human blood is thicker and darker in color, and the fishy smell is stronger. I estimate that this is 80% likely to be fish blood."
After knowing that it was not human blood, Qian Xuyang breathed a sigh of relief and the expression on his face relaxed.
"It's fine if it's not human blood, but how can there be fish blood in this place?"
The place where Qi Wang just wiped the fish blood was at the corner of the stairs. The space in that place was not large, and because there was no obstruction, everything inside could be seen clearly. When they came down from upstairs, they would hardly notice that place.
How could Qi Wang have thought of going there?
Hearing what Qian Xuyang said, Qi Huan's mind changed and he asked.
"Didn't you hear anything or smell something?"
Qian Xuyang shook his head.
Qi Wang waved to him, motioning for him to come over.
Qian Xuyang came over and smelled it according to Qi Wang's instructions.
However, he sniffed and sniffed but did not smell the fishy smell that Qi Wang mentioned.
"Are you too nervous..."
After seeing the paper ball stained with fish blood in Qi Wan's hand, Qian Xuyang's voice slowly became quieter.
If it was really his illusion, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the blood stain.
Qi Huan looked at the green wall in front of him thoughtfully. After staring at the wall for a while, he said, "You said the wall is hollow?"
Qian Xuyang was stunned for a moment and then said, "Why do you feel like this?"
"According to the structure, this wall is built according to the stairs. Normally, in order to expand the space as much as possible, there is mostly empty space under the stairs.
Yes, don’t you think this wall is very abrupt?”
What Qi Wang said made sense, and Qian Xuyang was quickly convinced by him.
Qi Huan handed the paper ball stained with fish blood to Qian Xuyang, and then he knocked on the wall with his fingers.
A dull knocking sound began. Qi Huan moved to several places, but this dull sound was heard all the time.
"I must have heard wrong just now. This wall is solid."
Qi Wang spoke as if talking to himself, then withdrew his hand and did not continue the experiment.
Qian Xuyang had been standing aside obediently waiting for Qi Wang. When he saw him turning around, he asked: "Brother Qi, did you hear wrong just now? This wall should be solid and there is nothing inside."
Qi Wang nodded: "I heard wrong. You should throw the paper ball stained with fish blood into the trash can."
Qian Xuyang nodded, threw the paper ball into the trash can next to him, and then the two of them walked towards the hall together.
The two looked carefully at the seven tables, focusing on the last two tables, but they couldn't see anything wrong.
It looked like they couldn't find any clues, and neither of them liked to dig into things. Since they couldn't find out, they didn't continue reading.
Before it got completely dark, they planned to go to the kitchen to take a look.
When he was about to leave, Qi Wang asked about the faint fishy smell again. His footsteps paused, and then he followed Qian Xuyang to the backyard as if nothing had happened.
The kitchen of the B&B is in the yard at the back. The yard is quite large. The kitchen is in the northwest corner, but it only occupies a small room. The two grown men couldn't turn around when they entered.
The two walked around the kitchen and found nothing, so they walked out of the kitchen again.
The ground in the backyard is cement, but there are two rows of vegetable fields near the south wall. Many vegetables are grown in the vegetable fields, including cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers.
Qi Wang pointed to the two ridges of vegetable fields and asked, "Isn't there something to eat there?"
There was a trace of confusion in Qian Xuyang's eyes, but he soon returned to normal. He nodded and said, "Yes, these two ridges of vegetable fields are enough for us to eat for thirty days."
There was something wrong with his tone. Qi Wang glanced at him and frowned slightly.
There was something wrong with Qian Xuyang, but Qi Wang couldn't tell what was wrong for the time being.
The two of them walked around the backyard and couldn't find any clues, so they turned around and went back.
