Players Please Get In the Car

  Chapter 23 Statue

   "Why did you provoke that NPC on purpose?" Huang Junjie asked on the way back to his residence.

   "It's pure curiosity," Xu Huo said, "I don't think he's confused, maybe he can really ask something."

   "In the end, I didn't ask anything, and I offended people." Wan Zhikang glanced at him disdainfully, "You don't have any brains when you play games."

   "We're going to search the villa, and find something to eat by the way, isn't it the same way?" Du Lanlan came to invite them, mainly to ask Huang Junjie.

  Xu Huo didn't plan to go with them, so he and Yuan Yao left first.

  The villa is not small, but there are only a few places they can find, rooms, restaurants, and warehouses. Except for these three places, they are surrounded by dense green plants, making it difficult for people to walk smoothly in it.

  Xu Huo measured the distance from the villa to the wooden house, and then went to look outside Huang Junjie's yard. Except for the fresh footprints left by the players who came to check, there were no other traces.

  Going back to the front lobby, he picked up a handwritten guest registration book from behind the counter and flipped through it from beginning to end.

"Brother Xu, what's the point of the register? They're all names I don't know." Yuan Yao failed to turn on the old computer, and said disappointedly: "I want to see if there are any news on the computer. If the mobile phone can be brought in, Might be able to find some information."

   "There is no signal when the mobile phone is brought in, and the game will not allow players to take advantage of loopholes." Xu Huo put down the register and walked to the warehouse. Just now when Wang Wei came back from there, he mentioned that there were a lot of garbage piled up in it that the guests did not take away.

  In fact, it is the clothes and shoes of some dead guests and other worthless things—due to the special nature of the case, some personal items have not been taken over and can only be piled up in the warehouse.

  The warehouse has been turned over in a mess. Books, notebooks and other items with words that may involve useful information have all been turned over by the player, and they are now scattered on the ground.

  There was a pile of moldy newspapers in the corner of the warehouse, Xu Huo went straight to it and rummaged through it.

  Yuan Yao rummaged for a while and couldn't bear the taste, so he turned to pick out the leftovers from other players.

   "There is actually a diary here." Yuan Yao held up a green book, flipped through a few pages and was about to throw it away.

   "Show me." Xu Huo raised his head and said.

  Yuan Yao quickly took the diary.

  The beginning of the diary is quite normal. The person who wrote this diary is related to the current owner of the villa. When he first came to work, he was full of ambition and wanted to make some achievements, but then with the appearance of the beheaded demon, his good wishes were completely shattered.

The following content is basically the tragedy of each dead person and her fear that she will be cursed and killed sooner or later. Later, the whole article is full of words such as curse, murder, and death. The content is messy, and it can be seen that the owner of the diary has some Not quite normal anymore.

   "Find out the newspapers about the beheaded demon." Xu Huo said.

   "Fifty years ago, how can you read so many newspapers..." Yuan Yao paused, and said strangely: "There really isn't much about the Beheaded Demon."

   "The villa was renovated a few years ago due to a fire, and the newspapers on the ground are all later." Xu Huo said.

  And the newspapers delivered in bundles were thrown here without anyone reading them.

  The content in the newspaper cannot be described in too much detail, but some information and diary content can match.

   "Brother Xu, what are you looking at?" Yuan Yao couldn't help but ask.

  Xu Huodao: "Some of the people who were killed by the beheading demon only lost their heads, while some had incomplete limbs. From the perspective of time alone, there is a certain regularity."

   "What does this mean?" Yuan Yao's expression changed suddenly, and he patted his thigh and said, "The beheaded demon won't still eat people!"

  Xu Huo glanced at him, Yuan Yao said awkwardly, "You are busy, you are busy."

  Xu Huo picked up a pen, and imitated the diary owner's handwriting and added a few words in the paragraph.

   "Anyone who touches the statue will die..." Yuan Yao looked at him writing in the diary, and said in surprise, "Why did you do this?"

   "Double insurance last time." Xu Huo held his diary, "Let's go and find the statue of the beheaded demon."

  In the cafeteria, other players are resting.

  It took them half a day to search through all the places inside and outside the villa where people might be hiding. Even the mirrors and wardrobes in the room confirmed that there could be no secret passages or secret rooms before they stopped.

   "Fortunately, there is a small supermarket next to the restaurant, otherwise we wouldn't even have food." Liu Yuanyuan mumbled to the fans, "We see that beheaded demon is probably hiding in the woods outside."

   "I think so too." Abel held the cross in his hand, "Let's go to the woods later."

"I want you to go, I won't go." Wan Zhikang patted his belly after eating and drinking, "The beheaded demon killed so many people without being caught, it must not be something ordinary people can deal with, anyway, the game only requires players to live After five days, why take this risk."

   "That's true." Wang Wei pointed to the fog outside, "It looks like night in broad daylight, what if we encounter the beheaded demon?"

   "Afraid of the hammer!" Zhang Xiong slapped the table, "A dozen of us, can't we beat a beheaded demon?"

"Evolution is one thing, but it's not like you haven't seen it. There are supernatural powers in the Beheaded Demon dungeon. If it's really that easy to fight against the Beheaded Demon, the game won't give you a survival mission." Wang Wei As he spoke, he turned to Du Lanlan and Xia Guo, "It's not safe for two female players to live alone. Don't bother with Wan Zhikang. It's better for all of us to stay together tonight."

"Can you talk?" Wan Zhikang sat up at once, "I don't care about two women, and you still want to push your nose? I don't have the leisure to bring two retards... Isn't there an elite here? He can do it."

  Huang Junjie said with a sullen face: "A grasshopper on a line, do you have to make it so stiff?"

"Fuck!" Wan Zhikang was furious, "Whoever is a grasshopper on the same line as you, the beheaded demon will be the first to kill you. You must have touched some taboo and be cursed. You, and those two Ladies, don't even think about sharing a room with me!"

   Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open, and Xu Huo walked in carrying a large bluestone.

   "You guys are looking for trouble, why move stones?" Wan Zhikang saw that no one was pleasing to the eye, and opened his mouth to start bombarding.

   "This is not an ordinary stone." Xia Guo, who was close, stepped forward and brushed off the moss as soon as the stone was placed on the ground, "It looks like a statue!"

  "Statue?" The players leaned over. Sure enough, although there was no head, the clothing pattern could be seen from the front, and there was an ax hanging at the foot of the statue.

  All the people present were silent, and then Wan Zhikang called out, "Couldn't this be the cursed headless statue!"

   "Where did you find it?"

   "What are you doing here with this thing!"

  Xu Huo just lit a cigarette, and said slowly: "The intersection we came over yesterday is right there. At first glance, it looks like a stone pier."

   "By the way, I also found this diary." He opened the diary, "It says that anyone who touches the statue will die."
