Unfortunately, even from the perspective of the branches, the sound was unavailable, and Yu Xing had no way to get in touch with those things closer.
I can only wait for the plot to continue to advance to see if I have the opportunity to figure out what it is.
Since he has confirmed that the hotel is not at the moment, he doesn't really want to fall asleep, so he has to do something while the remaining time is left.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Xing's eyes lit up and he stood up and pushed open the door.
He is going to talk to the old man!
...
Hua Subai spent more than an hour walking outside and returned to the hotel at nearly 11:40.
The red clothes were dyed with the smell of wind and snow, and it became more and more ironed on him, making him look as if he was tailored.
When I entered the door, the oil lamp behind the counter was still on, reflecting two figures on the wall, one big and one small, very harmonious.
Wait, two?
Hua Subai paused his feet, and the second he saw the shadow, the sound of studying was also heard in his ears.
"Lin Daiyu shouted loudly, wrapped her arms around the thick tree trunk, twisted her waist and uprooted the weeping willows."
"Everyone was shocked and cheered: 'Heroic!' Lin Daiyu smiled shyly: 'It's a shame to show off her family."
Hua Subai: "..."
He recognized the voice, twitched his forehead and walked quickly to the counter, leaning in and looking inside.
Sure enough, Yu Xing and the old man were huddled behind the counter. The old man was sitting on his small stool. Yu Xing simply sat cross-legged on the ground, with the oil lamp between the two, and the lights were hidden.
Yu Xing held the villain's book that should have appeared in the old man's hand and read it expressionlessly. The old man squinted his eyes comfortably and listened seriously.
I don’t know if it was Yu Xing who bullied the old man and didn’t know the plot, or if the pirated content of this villain’s book was indeed so outrageous, but Yu Xing’s face was still calm and his face was serious.
After listening to him reading a few pages of ridiculous stories, Hua Subai couldn't help it anymore and knocked on the table before laughing out loud.
The shadow came over, Yu Xing looked up and met Hua Subai's smiley eyes that were hard to describe.
He ignored it skillfully, and he lowered his head and continued: "Lin Chong was angry and slapped the butcher's table with a palm: 'You, are you playing with me?' He didn't expect the butcher to pick up the pig-killing knife, and his ghostly aura was lingering, and he started chasing him."
"Three passers-by were also affected and ran wildly with Lin Chong. The butcher gradually became weak and stopped in front of the deep forest. He was completed by humans in the fourth run."
"???" Hua Subai: "What are you talking about!"
He was completely sure this time that even pirated villain books could not take the blame!
Hua Subai suddenly made a sound, awakening the old man who was about to fall asleep. The old man stared at him with his turbid eyes for a while before he recognized that this was his resident.
So he leaned back comfortably, urging in a weak voice: "...what is behind?"
Yu Xing closed the little man's book and chuckled: "Old man, I should go to bed. If I still live here tomorrow night, I will come and read the story to you again."
The old man looked a little unsatisfied. After thinking about it, he smashed the mouth with only a few teeth left. He pulled the little man's book back from Yu Xing's hand, and nodded: "Okay."
Yu Xing Youran got up, patted the folds on the windbreaker, looked at Hua Subai, and signaled him to go to the corridor with his eyes.
After the two left, the old man struggled to flip through the pages of the book by the oil lamp, but he could not find the description of the four humans fleeing to the deep forest. He unwilling to search again and again.
If he doesn't find it, he will probably not be able to sleep tonight.
[How immoral, hahaha]
[Look at the appearance of this old man, do you look like you who see the breaking point]
[当然不像!起码我们看书能知道是断更,这老头根本在找一段不存在的文字啊,笑死]
[Lin Chong ran at night and encountered the Fengxue Mountain Temple on the road. There was a mural in the temple. When the night was late, a beautiful woman named Nie Xiaoqian floated out.]
[Nie Xiaoqian said: "Now I am no longer the Nie Xiaoqian I used to be, I am Nie Xiaoqian Nie Xiaoqian."]
[I want to report that Concubine Nie has an affair and is filthy in the harem, and the crime cannot be punished!]
[Just come here, what are you having epilepsy?]
[Fortunately, I went to find the old man to pose for information, but the old man always looked like he was about to fall asleep, so he...]
...
Hua Subai followed Yu Xing all the way to his room, closed the door with his backhand, and wondered: "Why did you think of going to trouble the old shop owner?"
"I'm bored, I'll carry forward the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and help him study." Yu Xing spread his hands and opened his mouth.
Hua Subai scanned the room.
There are no signs of movement in the furnishings in the house, and there are slight wrinkles on the bed that have been sitting, but the temperature is lost.
I think Yu Xing has been harassing the old man for a long time.
"Do you think his villain's book may contain information, so you can check it out on the grounds of helping with the book?"
When Yu Xing heard that he had guessed, he nodded casually.
In fact, he just wanted to go and chat with the old man. Since this sleeping hotel was run by the old man, the old man must have known information about the hotel.
No matter how bad it is, the old man should always know who the "people" who cannot move in the room are and what their identities are.
As a result, after finding the old man in the hall, the old man only responded to his greeting, and buried his head in reading, pretending to not hear him.
Seeing that the old man was clearly struggling to read, but he was still full of his heart on the words in the book, Yu Xing thought for a while and said, "I'm bored now. Old man, your eyes don't seem to be very good. Why don't I come to read the story for you?"
He just gave it a try, because he couldn't be sure whether the old man was interested in the stories in the book or simply treasured the villain's book. If it were the latter, the old man would probably not be willing to hand the book over to him.
Moreover, the old man has been reading books since he met, which seems to be a reminder - there may be some hidden information in the book?
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard this, he stopped pretending to be deaf and quickly stuffed the book into his hand: "Read..."
Yu Xing took this opportunity to read all the books collected by the old man.
These books are very similar to the old books that set up a stall under the overpass for 50 cents per pound. They are small and thin, and they end in just over a dozen pages. There are also illustrations of painting pictures like ladies in the middle.
The stories in it are all simple short stories. Because of the different worldviews, these stories are not familiar to reality, but you can still see at a glance - they have nothing to do with intelligence.
Yu Xing read two books seriously, and then tried to talk to the old man.
"Old man, are you the only one in charge of this store? Your children are not here?"
Perhaps it was Yu Xing's behavior that won some favor from the old man, and the old man thought about this issue for a long time.
Finally, he said that his son had died long ago and he was the only one left in the family.
How long have you been dead? Don't remember.
How long has the store been opened? Don't remember it.
Will a person be lonely?
Regarding this question, the old man was silent for a long time with his mouth flattened, and his thin figure seemed a little pitiful in silence.
In the end, the old man said, "What's there to be alone in me? Do you have these books to accompany me? Do you still read them?"
So Yu Xing read a few more books.
At this time, he had already seen that the old man's eyes were really bad. He might not be able to see most of the content clearly when reading books, so he could only guess some plots. Because when Yu Xing was reading normally, the book was almost broken, but the old man's face was still showing a serious and novel look on his face.
It seemed that until tonight he really learned what was written in his book.
The books piled up by the counter were reduced one by one. In the middle, four other deducers who chose to stay in the hotel finally arrived. Seeing Yu Xing was there, they were in a hurry and asked the old man for the key and left hurriedly, for fear that Yu Xing would be stopped by him if he was one step late.
This little episode had no effect on Yu Xing. He was unable to find any useful information in it in the end. Instead, he took advantage of the gap in studying and shot out some information from the old man.
For example, this old man who seems to die at any time no longer remembers how long he has been in the hotel. It should have been a long time.
Regarding past events, the old man's memories seem to be forcibly shrouded by something and cannot be read.
He could only sit in the hotel day after day, guarding his storybook.
For example, Yu Xing asked the old man if he would go out to see the fun on the Ruixue Festival. The old man looked confused and didn't know what Ruixue Festival was.
This is interesting.
Although the old man's death aura was particularly strong and he felt that he would not live long, in other words, the old man lived.
This is the first person Yu Xing has ever met in Nanshui Town to be called a "living person".
Other townsmen, including guides, female owners of ready-made clothing shops, fat aunts, etc., had no breath of living people on them.
Thinking about this, the old man must be a very special existence, but such an existence does not know whether Ruixueji is because of the news blocked or... Ruixueji does not exist in the minds of living people?
After getting this information, Yu Xing didn't think about anything else. He saw that the old man was a little pitiful, so he simply told more stories.
His story of freedom.
He was very skillful and said, and Hua Subai came back.
Hua Subai sighed exaggeratedly: "I knew you were a kind person."
Yu Xing: "...you are sarcastic."
Hua Subai Lian said three times, sorted out his expression, and asked seriously: "Then did you ask him, except for the tour group, who live in the remaining house?"
"I asked, and he said he didn't remember."
The old man is not a goldfish, and I can't remember yesterday after today.
He said that the people in the house had lived for a long time.
It was so long that he forgot the appearance of those people. If Yu Xing had not mentioned it today, he would have even forgotten that there were still ten rooms in the hotel where people lived.
Have those people paid for living for so long?
The old man didn't know either. Because the notebook he used to record had been changed several times, he didn't know where the one he had stuffed had before.
"So that's how it is." Faced with the strange time, Hua Subai felt thoughtful.
"What about you?" Yu Xing glanced at him sideways, "What did you do when you ran out?"
"I? The atmosphere on Baibao Street is good, I'll just take a look." Hua Subai's expression remained unchanged.
Yu Xing understood: "It means not to tell me."
Hua Subai suddenly remembered Yu Xing's distrust of him and cleared his throat: "Oh, I didn't do anything bad anyway, I promise."
"Swish." Yu Xing's response was a very obvious tone.
Before Hua Subai could say anything, Yu Xing waved his hand and drove the person away: "It's almost twelve o'clock, go back to your own room, don't stick here. By the way, look at Lan Wu, don't let him die."
"Okay, okay." Hua Subai sighed and left reluctantly.
Time passed minute by minute, Yu Xing lay down on the bed, waiting for the time node to arrive.
Twelve o'clock is not only the time that the guide specifically reminds us, but also the time for the first day of system settlement.
This event uses a point survival system, and you can get certain points whether you follow the main line of the tour group or trigger side tasks.
Strangely, just judging by the current situation, Yu Xing could not see the role of points at all. After all, it was not the last place to be eliminated. The more or less points, does it only affect the reward situation after the event ended?
The benefits of getting more points are even more obvious than its disadvantages.
He thinks that points must have other functions.
Thinking of the timeline of death, Yu Xing even wondered whether the points would give people who did not think of the timeline of death in the early stage a chance to tolerate mistakes.
Spend points to buy real time?
Or can you have props that can safely spend the time of death if you accumulate a certain amount of points?
Points must always have some effect.
It took time and energy to bet on life safety and must obtain matching benefits. At present, the system hopes that they can live, so there will be no more useless elements.
After making some guesses about the role of points, Yu Xing sorted out several possibilities, but he was not in a hurry. He followed the main line all the time. If there were side missions, he would indirectly get old tasks on the second floor, and would not be behind others.
Perhaps when settlement, the system will reveal the role of points?
The wall clock in the hotel lobby was ticking.
The old man was tired of flipping through the book, and he was still holding his little man's book in his hand, but his head was already tilted to one side, and he fell asleep a little tiredly.
The hand of the wall clock finally moved slowly to half an hour.
Kakka...
The sound of mechanical operation suddenly amplified to the point where the flesh ears could hear it. A vigilance flashed in Yu Xing's eyes, and some illusion of being shrouded shattered with a rumbling sound, as if something was slowly flowing through the air.
At this moment, he heard the breathing of humans in the rooms on both sides of the left and right.
[The first day ends, and now the points are settled.]
The system's voice appears at the same time, and the female voice speaks in a formal tone.
【Main mission points: 2000】
【Side Mission Points: 900】
【Points Remaining: 2900】
【Detected that you have available points, now open the limited store】
really.
As soon as he thought of this, the system confirmed his idea. While paying attention to the movement outside the door, Yu Xing clicked into the so-called limited mall.
[Limited Mall: The remaining opening time is six days, and it can only be used in the Nanshui Town event deduction. Products in the mall can only be redeemed by points obtained in the event.]
There are not many things in it, there are only four types in total. It is said to be commodities, but most of them are in "state".
[Cognitive Recovery: When you feel that you are no longer you, using cognitive recovery status can help you re-stabilize your cognition. Use 5,000 points at a time.]
[Aura Concealment: You can use it when you need to hide yourself. Use 2,000 points at a time, lasting for one minute.]
【Real Key: Short entry ■■, lasting ten minutes. Use 1000 points once.】
[Pointer: You can use it when you need to find objects. After use, you will accurately locate the location of the item and continue to form arrows in your field of view. Use 2,000 points once.]
Oh, waiver.
Yu Xing thought about it for a while and found that the functions of these products were simple and clear, and the pointer might be needed tomorrow.
After all, tomorrow's event is to find dolls or blessing card accessories.
He can understand the real key, and the place that was painted was obviously the "real scene" or "real time".
There has not been a much-needed scenario for breath concealment and cognitive recovery, but from another perspective, these two products appeared in the mall first, which is to remind the deducer that there will be difficulties in this aspect in the future.
Overall, these things are very expensive. Even if you want to buy them, you must consider whether the subsequent situation will require more.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!"
The door was suddenly knocked.
Outside the door, a soft and weak female voice trembled and said tremblingly: "Hello, sorry for disturbing me. My child is very cold. May I ask, can a kind person lend me a piece of cloth?"
Yu Xing came back to his senses and listened for a while. Sure enough, the breathing of the woman holding the child in the next room had disappeared.
Without hearing the steps, the breath had already teleported to his door, trembling and rapid, interacting in his mouth and nose.
Yu Xing did not get up, but strictly followed what the guide said - "You must lie on the bed after 12 o'clock."
There was no response, and the woman was obviously more anxious. She slapped the door much harder and raised her voice: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone? My child really needs something to keep warm. Please, please!"
Yu Xing still said nothing.
The wind and snow are the astronomical phenomena that have been shrouding in Nanshui Town, and even the air is cold.
People with frostbite were constantly being taken to the hospital in the town, and since entering Baibao Street, he had never seen anyone troubled by the cold. It was this strange sense of separation that formed the flaws that belonged to Nanshui Town under the normal appearance.
Unexpectedly, there was a "frozen" in the brigade site.
A branch quietly passed through the wall and followed the familiar route to Zhang Yu's room.
The abnormal movement has begun, and he has to take this kid's attention.
Of course, he won't help until necessary, otherwise Zhang Yu would be too relaxed.
He felt that this kid's brain was indeed OK. Unless he suddenly twitched his brain, he would not get up from the bed and give him a head at this time.
Outside, the woman became more and more anxious.
"My child is really...he is about to freeze to death, please! Please be fine! Give me some warmth!"
Perhaps it was because there was no movement for too long, and the woman let down her hand dejectedly.
She held the swaddle in her arms tightly, gritted her teeth, and knocked on other doors.
This time, she knocked on the room opposite Yu Xing.
Chapter completed!
