Chapter 70 The Snow Disaster Without Rescue(1/3)

After seeing the Dark Star members' houses, the four of them finally began to search for those rooms where "people" live.

Because the total number of rooms is only ten, and they are not big, they are given plenty of time, so there is no need to search separately, otherwise they have to repeat the information they found after gathering, which will be troublesome.

They walked into the room of the woman holding the child.

As soon as he opened the door, the woman in the room looked straight at them.

The clothes on the woman were not thick enough, and it seemed that she only had a layer of sweater and pants. Her arms exposed, her neck and feet were frozen red.

Kongmang's eyes looked at the door, and his face was silent, as if they had imprinted their figures into his eyes.

Zhang Yu paused and his scalp became numb. After two seconds, he realized that the woman was not looking at them, but was facing this direction.

The woman was motionless like a sculpture, and her breathing was not fluctuating. She was like a dummy as Yu Xing described to them.

"She is sure she won't move, right? Let's search around the house to find out if she will alarm her." Zhang Yu saw that Yu Xing had stepped forward, and he moved slowly over.

With the captain and boss Hua, there is still a sense of security, but it is just like when I was going to a haunted house to find a human figure sitting in the room. You don’t know when the “it” will suddenly pounce on you and scare you.

And facing this woman, his uncanny valley effect was about to be forced out.

Yu Xing was reaching out to check the status of the baby in the woman's arms. He pushed aside the layers of wrapping the swaddle and saw the face of the dead baby.

Judging from the open fabrics, there are thin quilts in it - but they are already damaged.

There are also all kinds of torn clothes, layer after layer of torn cloth stacked together, new and old, and I don’t know how long it took the woman to collect it.

This room has more lifestyle than the empty room they were drawn. Except for the empty wardrobe, there are all other necessities for life.

Kettle, mouthwash cup, washbasin, rice bowl, napkin... Looking around, this should be a small nest that has lived for a long time.

"If the previous scene was a reproduction of the real events that had happened, then the people in these ten rooms would indeed be residents of the Anmian Hotel." Yu Xingyong was not big or small, but everyone else could hear it, "What the old man in the hall forgot about it should be what happened before Nanshui Town did not change."

"That is to say, in a normal world, there was a very harmful snow disaster in Nanshui Town. Then these people were residents who lived in the sleeping hotel at that time. Until some abnormality came, the residents all died, but their bodies did not rot. Instead, they became like dolls who kept repeating one scene?"

Zhang Yu continued the conversation and thought: "If this woman had lived in this room for a long time, would she consider it? When it was particularly cold, they could only regard this place as a writer."

"I still remember that on the system page for the event registration, the description of Nanshui Town was that there was no sun in several months." Lan Wu looked through the cabinet drawer and asked, "If the change had only happened for a few months, would it conflict with the time you are seeing now?"

"The flow rate of real and false is 10 to 1. Since there is such a time difference, maybe there is a time difference between the outside world and the inside of Nanshui Town?" Hua Subai relied on his generous clothes and was inconvenient to move, so the old god stood against the wall, paddling openly.

He looked at the figures of the other three people knocking and looking around everywhere, and narrowed his eyes comfortably: "The few months other places thought were actually decades in Nanshui Town, and this kind of thing was not impossible."

Lan Wuqi: "That's it."

"But there is always a reason for different flow rates. Either the environment is different, such as the ground and catacombs, which may cause a deviation in time due to the condensation of underground yin energy." Yu Xing pulled out a necklace from under the pillow, "or you want to be real and false, and it is reasonable to have different time."

"But now, what we know is that real time passes faster than false time, so that we have the opportunity to complete the task and leave early before the seven days arrive."

"But if the outside world has been in the town for more than ten years, it is equivalent to the normal outside world being slower than the mutated inside world. Of course, there is no problem in other deductions. However, here, it is exactly the opposite of the real and false time flow rate."

"If there is no reason, I would never have imagined why there will be two completely opposite time results in the same place."

Yu Xing said, looking at the necklace in his hand.

The heavy necklace seemed to be made of gold, and the golden chain did not lose its luster in this case. The pendant that fell underneath was an oval gold-shelled photo frame that could be opened. The button was pressed and the lid was opened, revealing a photo of a family of three inside.

The photo has faded and the original vividness cannot be seen, which makes the people in the photo look like a weathered and frosty atmosphere.

The man in a wheelchair was in the center of the photo, holding a baby still in his arms. The woman behind the man was radiant, holding her hands on the back of the wheelchair, and showing a bright smile in the direction of the camera with the man.

Although the man had legs, judging from this photo alone, the couple had a very good relationship, and both men and women were dressed in exquisite clothes. The woman also wore a jade bracelet on her wrist.

Yu Xing was silent for a while and looked at the woman sitting by the bed.

It is really unimaginable that the woman's face and the face in the photo gradually overlap. The haggard and numb person in front of him was once dressed so carefully, having his own love and money.

This gold necklace is not cheap anymore.

But now, women live in small hotel rooms, their pots and pans are old, and the dust and stains in many places have not been cleaned, and they are dirty and messy.

"Captain, should I take this necklace away?" Zhang Yu came over.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Xing gave him the necklace: "Can you tell whether the man in the photo is important?"

Zhang Yu was stunned and laughed: "It's probably OK, but I didn't look at the photos, but I have to find clues."

Something like data flashed in his eyes: "There is no item related to men in this room, which means that the woman was not accompanied by her when she lived here, and her husband was not with her."

"But she put the necklace under the pillow, which shows that she cherishes this photo very much. Judging from this behavior, she still loves his husband and misses him very much."

"Look here again." Zhang Yu pointed to a piece of fabric that obviously belonged to men's pants in the middle of the baby's swaddle and said, "You see, this piece of fabric is the same color and the patterns of the men wearing in the photo. I guess it should be the same piece."

"So, the possibility of her husband cheating is extremely low, and the probability of death is 76%. "Zhang Yu touched his chin, "and she died before the woman moved into the sleeping hotel. So what happened in the hotel has nothing to do with this man. Overall, I tend to be that this man is not important to our tasks, but just a kind of spiritual sustenance for this lady when she is alive."

"Since it doesn't matter, then you don't have to take it away. And this thing..." Yu Xing silently stuffed the necklace back under the pillow. "The system didn't say that the scene that would be reproduced once an hour would not change. She didn't knock on my door last time, but if I took her necklace, it wouldn't be sure whether she would shift her target to knock on another door next time."

Don’t take things randomly if you have nothing to do. This is also a lesson that can be learned from many deductions. The most important thing is that this thing is useless. If you take it and attract hatred, it is really unnecessary.

The three of them and Hua Subai, who was paddling all the way, quickly finished the woman's room. With Zhang Yu, who was professionally matched, you can basically confirm that no clues were missed.

In addition to the necklace, they also found an IOU, which was a man named Sun Yunyun who borrowed half a pound of rice from a woman, and the "unrepaid" was specially noted later.

Without wasting time, several people went to Xiao Yangyang's room again.

To be honest, it is incredible that a boy in his early teens lives alone in a hotel, and the display in the room makes people feel a little pity for the child.

Children's rooms are much simpler than women's rooms, and the things are placed in relatively short places. Apart from some daily necessities, the most are all kinds of small toys.

All the clothes and quilts in the room were piled up on the bed, turning this uncomfortable wooden bed into a small nest.

The child sat in the open space in the center of the room, and his deterrence was much lower than that of the previous women.

And they all knew that in the scene, the child opened the door kindly and gave the woman some things, but unfortunately he was strangled to death by the stimulated woman. A typical good person was not rewarded.

"He should have his parents living with him." Lan Wu saw a few pairs of shoes placed at the bottom of the empty wardrobe, including men's leather shoes and women's cotton shoes. There was a suitcase standing behind the door.

This should mean that the child came with his parents when he moved to the hotel, and the parents should be prepared and packed up some things.

"Even if there was before, it's gone now." Hua Subai stood in front of the cabinet, looking at the many miscellaneous items that would rather be piled on the ground than put on the table, and picked up a small wave drum. "The things are all below, which is a height that children can get. If there are adults, it would not be possible."

As he turned the drum stick, the small balls on both sides of the wavy drum hit one after another.

With the development of the South Water Town, children's toys are all very old things, such as wave drums, bamboo dragonflies, or some strange gadgets that have been eliminated elsewhere, but the town still finds novel and weird.

"Well, Boss Hua is right. The child's parents must be gone. Children in their teens don't like rattles. There are many toys next to them that are much more interesting than rattles." Zhang Yu leaned his head and looked, "The reason why he puts rattles in the most conspicuous place is because he misses his parents."

Wave drums are a bit naive for children in their teens, but they just fit for boss Hua who is unknown how old they are.

He shook it and didn't want to let go, so the whole room was filled with dongdong sounds.

Yu Xing, who was picking up newspaper fragments on the ground, pushed his glasses patiently: "The child's parents are indeed dead. In the reappearance scene, a girl mentioned that you didn't even hear it?"

Zhang Yu: “…”

Lan Wu: "..."

Hua Subai: dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong.

"I'm sorry, Captain, you know my situation at that time. My mind is almost frozen. I really don't notice the sounds in the corridor, especially when there are too many people behind me, the sound is too mixed." Zhang Yu coughed dryly and picked up the transparent tape, "Do you want to stick to the newspaper?"

No matter when, newspapers are an item with huge amount of information, because newspapers are time-sensitive and have a lot of text.

The child cut the newspaper and origami to play with it bored. Although his hands-on ability is not good and he doesn't know what it is, he at least avoids the trouble of finding a piece of paper in a room of messy things.

This is also the only newspaper in the room.

The whole newspaper was cut too fragmentary, and it took Zhang Yu about five minutes to put it together bit by bit.

After sticking it, it is convenient to read. The cheap touch, faded ink prints and the old typesetting give people a feeling of being late.

This is a "Morning News Daily", not a local newspaper in the town. The newspaper publishes news from all over the world, and the last side also serializes novels.

But that doesn't matter, because the reports on the snow disaster in Nanshui Town were printed on the front page headlines.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "...At present, all roads leading to Nanshui Town have been blocked by heavy snow. The people in the town have been lost for three days. The local area is racing against time to launch a road operation to open a safe evacuation route for the people in the town."

"...There is no scientific explanation for the blizzard in this area. Because the snow disaster is limited to Nanshui Town and its surrounding mountains and forests, the meteorological department has failed to predict and estimate in advance..."

“…The port located in the east district of Nanshui Town has been closed. Because the water surface around the port is covered with thick ice, the passing ships have to detour…”

"...The only good news we can know at present is that Nanshui Town has sufficient food reserves and will not cause the people to fall into famine due to the short-term heavy snow sealing of the town."

The headlines’ report is quite detailed, and we look at the snow disaster from the perspective of other areas outside Nanshui Town. In addition to the front page headlines in other places in the newspaper, Yu Xing also found several missing person notices about Nanshui Town.

He paid special attention and there was no news about the tour group's disappearance in Nanshui Town.

In other words, the time when their tour group entered the town and the time when the snow disaster occurred in Nanshui Town were not on the same range.

This gave him a clearer division of the timeline.

Snow disasters and reports seem to be of the same era as Baibao Street; while travel groups are of the same era as modern towns outside Baibao Street.

The only abrupt thing in the modern town can be said to be Fang Mansion. In addition to Fang Mansion, who is also called "Mansion" in modern times?

Moreover, the timeline about Fang Mansion is the most vague. When Fang Deming was young, when his eldest son Fang Xiao was still young, there were actually gangs in the port. The eldest master could kill people in Curie if he was unhappy.

The dress on Mingzhu's sister-in-law who came from a big city is a bit like the styles that were popular in the 1990s, or even earlier.

Of course, the worldview is different, so it is hard to say.

Now, there are hospitals and schools in the town, and bus stops outside the town. The residents in the town are wearing modern outfits. Although old-fashioned, they are definitely modern outfits. Only the guide Gao Yiling wore her beloved Republican student uniform.

However, according to the letter and the information disclosed when the town mentioned Fang's mansion, Fang Xiao was only married to Mingzhu's sister-in-law for a few years, and Fang Deming was still alive.
