The word "blood" smoothly blended into everyone's eyebrows - except for Zhao Yijiao.
The moment the strange incomprehensible words were pasted on his forehead, a black pattern suddenly appeared, clashing with the blood words. The faint black energy briefly escaped, but soon solidified again.
On the contrary, Xuezi was knocked back a palm distance due to the energy of the hedging, and almost collapsed.
Ren Yi cast an inquiring look at Guijiu. Guijiu was also stunned, as if he didn't react at the first moment, and then the corners of his mouth raised, forming a strange smile.
He touched his forehead, and there was a cold feeling that he was used to, but it was hidden under his skin.
"Forgot, this area already has a mark, I'm afraid your bloody words won't be able to get in." He said and glanced at the culprit.
Yu Xing made eye contact with him and remembered.
Before, he used the power of a curse to leave a mark on Zhao Yijiao's forehead - in order to protect Zhao Yjiu's safety in the dungeon where the actor appeared.
As a result, the mark was not used for the time being, and he did not take it back.
Ren Yi was well-informed, and he guessed something when he heard the words. He shook his head and said: "...It's okay, just move it a little bit."
The lonely words of blood finally merged into the back of Guijiu’s head.
After closing his eyes and sensing to confirm that the blood connection had been established, Ren Yi moved his spirit and opened the sealed memories in the minds of the four people around him.
In an instant, Yu Xing's eyes were filled with fragments of memory that quickly passed by one after another. A memory that did not belong to him naturally appeared in his mind. He stood inside a strange inn from a first-person perspective.
The beginning of my memory is when he walked up to the counter and chatted a few words with the shopkeeper in Ren Yi's voice.
The shopkeeper seemed to be muttering that the rooms were full today.
Looking out from the door, it was just starting to get dark.
Yu Xing's perspective followed the owner of this memory. Following the advice of the shopkeeper, he climbed up the stairs and went to the booked room on the second floor of the inn.
These are some very ordinary standard rooms in ancient inns. After opening the door, the first thing that comes into view is a low table placed in the center. There are cushions on both sides of the low table. This table seems to be for people to play chess.
For tea tasting.
The bed is on the right side after the door is opened, and there is a brown curtain hanging on it, which provides good privacy.
There is a shelf against the wall, with some worthless but exquisite-looking vases and folding fans sparsely placed.
The whole room exuded an elegance that a scholar would like. The window in the room was still open. It was a wooden lattice window that could only be opened half way. The sky outside the window was dark and gloomy. Looking out from the window, you could just see the outside.
of streets.
After a while, there were not many passersby left.
In this memory, Yu Xing could not only see what Ren Yi saw, but also feel what Ren Yi was thinking. He turned around the whole room and finally closed the window that was constantly letting in the cold wind.
At this moment, it turned completely dark and the mission was triggered.
The task required them, the residents, not to leave the inn no matter what. At the same time, a new task of "delivering water" was refreshed. It was said that the waiter at the previous inn died and the shopkeeper had not found a replacement, so the shopkeeper was willing to give the residents a discount and replace them with help.
He went to each room to deliver tea.
This is optional for other residents, but for the Deducer, it is a must-do under the mission.
Not long after he came up, he went downstairs again.
This time, after talking with the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper handed over the task of delivering water to him. The task target assigned to Ren Yifen was the three rooms at the end of the second floor. He walked up with the tray and observed as he walked.
The contents of the tray.
The "water" to be delivered is actually a teapot container, only the size of a palm, with a tight lid, so you can't see what's inside.
Three rooms are three teapots. All he has to do is knock on the door, put the teapot in, and bring the things properly.
Ren Yi was very interested in the contents of the teapot, but the shopkeeper specifically told him not to open other customers' teapots. When he said this, the shopkeeper looked serious and weird, as if he would know if he violated what he said.
Similar.
In the end, Ren Yi followed his heart and quietly lifted the lid of a teapot.
Suddenly, a fishy smell of blood hit his nostrils, and the liquid inside was thick and cold, completely the color of blood.
He immediately put the lid back on the tea, and the smell of blood disappeared without a trace.
He thought that this teapot must be a special prop, otherwise there would be no way to cover up the smell to this extent.
This innkeeper actually wants to give "blood tea" to his guests? Let's not talk about the purpose of doing this, but where do the raw materials of this blood tea come from...
Thinking about this, Ren Yi had already guessed the identity of the guest who received the tea, and he also became extremely vigilant and suspicious of the innkeeper.
He came to the innermost room on the second floor, knocked on the door and no one answered, so he opened the door directly.
As he expected, all three rooms were empty. The rooms were clean and tidy, and it didn't look like anyone had been active at all. He placed the "tea" on the low table in the center of the room, behaved very well, and left without looking back.
.
When he returned the empty tray to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper asked him pointedly: "Are those customers easy to get along with?"
Ren Yi nodded: "Very good."
The innkeeper's eyes were fixed on his face, as if he wanted to find evidence that he was lying, but he probably couldn't guess that this man had facial paralysis and no expression at all.
After completing the water delivery task, the rules required Ren Yi to stay in his room and not to go out no matter what he heard.
He did hear various sounds coming from the corridor before ten o'clock. He clearly felt that there was no one there, but from time to time he heard "This tea tastes good", "I'm so tired", "My eyes seem to be falling off".
” and the like.
It's probably OK to scare ordinary people, but it's a bit childish for the actors.
Just passing the time without any surprises, just after ten o'clock, the twelve night rules came out.
At the same time, there were also the area rules of the inn, rule number one - when you hear clear footsteps coming from the corridor, immediately go to bed and pretend to be asleep.
Almost immediately after Ren Yi read the rules, he heard footsteps. In the dark room, the footsteps were creepy because it didn't sound like the sound of shoes stepping on the floor, but like the sound of something.
It kept hitting the ground, making a muffled sound of "dong, dong".
Ren Yi weighed it up, chose to believe this rule, and hid on the bed first.
Then, he heard the door of the room that he had locked with his own hands creak, and it was opened directly.
