Players Please Get In the Car

  Chapter 678 The strangeness of the locals

   It's normal for some players to go missing. Isn't there a player missing in the hotel?

  The difference is that the hotel is a trap for players, while staying in a B&B can be blocked by locals.

   "Are you going to stay in a homestay today?" Tian Kunwen came over and asked Xu Huo and Yi Pei.

  Yi Pei did not disclose what happened last night to Tian Kunwen and others, but they lived so close together that both Tian Kunwen and Fu Danhong knew that Yi Pei left Xu Huo's room very late.

  Fu Danhong looked at Yi Pei with contempt, Tian Kunwen didn't say anything, but Wei Xian next to him gave Xu Huo an extra look.

   "There was another knock on the door last night. I was probably being watched. It would be safer to live in a B&B." Xu Huo explained.

   "The homestay may not be safe." Tian Kunwen added, "There was also someone missing last night."

So far, players don’t really know how many people have come to this county. You can look at the register at the hotel, but it’s hard to count at the homestay. There are hundreds of households here, and it’s impossible for players not to come out. Go door to door to investigate.

  The two groups parted ways, and Yi Pei asked Xu Huo which house he planned to live in, "I'll go to the house where I talked to Fu Danhong yesterday."

  Xu Huo nodded, there was a man with crooked eyes in that family, but to the player, he was just an ordinary person, Yi Pei had her reasons for choosing this family.

  The two were walking on the street, and they happened to meet the player they met yesterday, not the one who hit someone, but the one who took his companion away from Xu Huo.

  They went in and out together yesterday, but today there is only one left.

  The man gave Xu Huo a cold look, and walked past him expressionlessly. However, the two of them took a few steps apart before the player quietly walked behind Xu Huo, and a white light shot out from his palm!

   "Boom!" The white light hit the moving metal as if it had substance, and Xu Huo disappeared from the spot in the next second, and appeared in front of the player in a flash!

   The other party was surprised, and the conditioned reflex was about to retreat, but when he looked down, he found that his legs seemed to be detached from his body.

   At this moment, Xu Huo had already tapped him on the shoulder quickly before pulling the distance between them.

  The powder fluttered out from the man's clothes, the man's face changed drastically, and he raised his head in astonishment.

   melted the metal protective suit worn by the other party, Xu Huo smiled and said: "Your friend is missing?"

  The other party's gaze sank, and then he slapped him on the leg suddenly. He escaped from the restrained state and climbed up to the courtyard wall next to him in two steps. He jumped two feet high, and held a hammer with both hands and smashed it down at him!

  The hammer doesn't look big, but the airflow it blows up forms a pressure surface several times larger than itself, and even Yi Pei, who is standing beside him, feels his shoulders sink.

   "Ding!" Xu Huo stood where he was, and lit his lighter on the opposite player.

  The person who was flying in mid-air with great momentum just a second ago turned into a firebird in an instant, and hit the ground with the props and kept rolling!

  The screams attracted several players and surrounding residents, Xiaoyun squeezed out from behind the crowd, and hurriedly said: "What are you doing in a daze, save people!"

   At this time, the people around started to move, bucket after bucket of water was poured on the player.

  Even if the three-level fire for a moment can't seriously injure the player, it can still make the opponent suffer without defensive props to protect the body.

  Under Xiaoyun's command, everyone rushed to carry the person away. Someone asked: "How can a good person be burned?"

   "Probably did something that was condemned by God." Xu Huo said: "Maybe it offended the **** you made offerings to."

   "Crack!" The stretcher that had just been lifted was thrown back to the ground in a second, and the surrounding residents stared condescendingly at the person on it, with different faces and the same eyes, as if they were looking at a dead person.

   "Is it my illusion?" Yi Pei walked to Xu Huo and said in a low voice, "I think these people seem to be a little slower than the day before yesterday."

  As soon as she finished speaking, a few aunts next to her spit on the burnt player and cursed at the top of their voices, "You ignorant bastard, you deserve to be burned. God will come and take you away tonight!"

  The injured player couldn't argue, and there was no point in making an excuse. He glanced at Xu Huo who was standing a few meters away, got up and ran.

  An aunt chased him and shouted: "Everyone remember this little bastard, don't let him live at home!"

  The man turned his head and looked bitterly before leaving in a hurry.

  As soon as the person left, the people around started to gossip again, how did you sleep last night, what did you eat for breakfast today, the child was beaten up for disobedience... and so on.

   But if you look closely, you will find that although he is chatting, his eyes are staring at nearby players from time to time.

  It was a kind of extremely uncomfortable staring. Often when you tilt your head, you can see a few people staring straight at you, but they returned to normal in the blink of an eye, as if they were dazzled.

  Yi Pei only had a vague feeling, "Do you still want to live in a B&B?"

   "The hotel may not be safe." Xu Huo looked at the gray sky, "It might rain later."

   Yi Pei frowned, "If it rains in the dungeon, nothing good will happen."

  Xu Huo nodded and separated from her. He went to the courtyard of the grandparents and grandchildren yesterday, and put down a stack of white bills and a bag of snacks.

  The little girl didn't feel much about the white bills, but stared at the snacks and swallowed.

  The old man couldn't bear his eyes, he hesitated and said: "I don't have a good room for you to live in."

   "It's fine to live in the main room, I just need a place to stay." Xu Huo glanced at the locked side door and then gave the little girl another 100 yuan, "Go to the restaurant to buy some vegetables, and I'll treat you to dinner."

   This time the little girl ran out with the money without waiting for her grandfather to nod.

  The old man sat at the door and sighed silently, then continued to do the work in hand. It was very quiet inside and outside the small courtyard, only the sound of rustling files grinding against wood.

   After lunch, Xu Huo planned to go out again. The old man glanced at him and said, "Don't go to the forest pond. It's unlucky to bury people."

  Xu Huo turned his head and thanked him, held up his umbrella and walked slowly towards the woods.

  The light rain was dense and dense, the light was darker than in the morning, and there were large groups of dark clouds gathering in the distance, which tended to get bigger and bigger.

  Not far from the woods at the end of the hotel, he was surrounded by several players, and the leader was the curly-haired player Fang Penghui.

   "What's the matter?" Xu Huo looked at him.

   "The couple who just came yesterday died." Fang Penghui said: "They followed you into the woods."

   "Do you have friendship?" Xu Huo asked back.

   "No," Fang Penghui said, "I'm not here to find fault, I just want to know what happened here last night, and how did you survive?"

  Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you are very sure that I didn't kill him?"

  Fang Penghui paused, "They died terribly."
