Live Action Murder Mystery

The house may have been without wind for 300 years, and the smell was unbearable. They opened the door and decided to wait a few minutes for the smell to dissipate before going in again.

Unexpectedly, as a result, the air in the entire lobby was instantly polluted.

So everyone came to the main gate of the castle again, and opened the gates on both sides completely, so that fresh air from outside could come in.

Gu Liang walked to the main entrance and let out a long breath to relieve the nausea and discomfort in his body.

At this time, he realized that the flamboyant sports car that Yu Zhanan drove that day was still there.

That being the case, why did Yu Scumbag leave in the boss's business car?

Gu Liang took a few steps forward, intending to walk up to the sports car to have a look.

But before he got close to the sports car, he realized that the windows could reflect portraits, which had the function of a mirror.

Almost at the same time, Gu Liang noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with the tires.

So he used the action of checking the tires as a cover, and squatted down before approaching the car.

In this way, he can check the tires without being caught in the window.

It was almost 10:[-] at this moment, and Gu Liang had switched to a human identity again. If he took a portrait on the car window, then the vampires in the players behind would be able to know his identity.

At this time, Gu Liang pretended to be casual and looked back.

——Except for him, no one approached the car.They just stood at the gate of the castle, looked at Gu Liang from a distance, and then avoided their sight.It seemed they were all avoiding being caught in the mirror.

This seemed to support Yang Ye's previous guess.

Vampires are afraid to look in the mirror, they don't want humans to find out.

And humans dare not look in the mirror, they are afraid of being discovered by vampires and then killed.

——This means that everyone has more or less received the reminder that vampires dare not look in the mirror.

Vampire players receive quests where it is possible to conceal their identities.

But why didn't anyone mention the word vampire when they saw the corpse whose blood had been sucked dry?

Regarding his and Yang Ye's speculation, Gu Liang always felt that something was wrong.

But what exactly is wrong, he still can't say.

Feeling a little doubtful in his heart, Gu Liang turned his head and looked at the tire in front of him again.

All four tires have been completely flattened. It seems that the tires are flat, and the car cannot be driven at all.

In this way, Mr. Rong is the murderer who killed Yu, Ai, and Mei, which seems to have been further established.

After all, this is his territory, so it is reasonable for him to find someone to deflate the tires without anyone noticing, forcing the scumbag to sit in the commercial vehicle he arranged.

Gu Liang walked around the sports car and took a few steps, and found that the surrounding area was still blocked by fog. He glanced in the direction of the garden, and the road from the outer circle to the vegetable garden was also covered with dense fog.

Therefore, the first stage of exploration was indeed limited to the castle.

After a while, the smell dissipated a lot, and the players turned back to the lobby one after another, and then went to the room full of bones.

When Gu Liang returned to the entrance of the lobby, Yang Ye and Meng Qiancheng were still standing here.

Gu Liang heard Meng Qiancheng ask Yang Ye: "Hey? Have you turned white? Were you so white before? The light inside was too bright and it wasn't obvious. Now that you come out—"

Gu Liang's heart tightened, and then he saw Yang Ye take out a small box from his pocket with his orchid fingers raised.

Then he opened it, took out the puff inside, and wiped it on his face.

It turned out that what he was holding was a foundation box.

Meng Qiancheng was obviously taken aback by him.

After all, Yang Ye was tall and acquainted, and his facial features were very tough, so doing this kind of action was really out of harmony. "What the hell are you?"

"I can't help it. There's a problem with the character design. I'm a little boy, and I'm an assistant who is supported by our idol. There are many gays in the entertainment industry, don't you know?" Yang Ye said helplessly, "It's all human design."

Putting down the foundation box, Yang Ye looked at Meng Qiancheng, and said seriously: "It's different from the script, I'm pure, and Gu Liangliang is my wife. Don't misunderstand anything."

Meng Qiancheng pouted speechlessly and left. "I'll go see what's going on inside."

Gu Liang walked up to Yang Ye and asked him in a low voice, "When did you get it?"

"I went to Rong Mingyuan's place to break the glass." Yang Ye whispered in his ear, "It's not easy for me, your husband. I hope it won't affect my image in your heart."

Gu Liang turned his head sideways, stared at him with dark pupils, and said after a while, "You have no image in my heart."

Walking into the lobby, I saw those players walking into the skeleton room.

Gu Liang paused, and said to Yang Ye in a low voice: "If you have sharp teeth, you can't tell without grinning, but the skin is indeed a problem. Boss Rong doesn't seem to have changed. The new players don't know, the girls are all painted. Even if you wear foundation and rouge, you can’t even tell. You... If you want to vote for a vampire soon, and they can’t find evidence that you are a little assistant, it will be very difficult for you.”

Yang Ye thought for a while and said, "This kind of ordinary side mission is different from the accomplice mission. The latter has to deduct gold coins or something, but if you fail the ordinary side mission, you just lose the reward. I don't care about that."

Yang Ye was right.

In "The Fifth Person", Li Kexue, played by Liu Bowen, failed in a side mission, but he was not punished, but he was not rewarded. In the script of "Baby", he failed as an accomplice, and thus became an NPC.

"Yeah." Gu Liang nodded, thinking of something, and then said, "This reminds me of Li Xuexue. He has a side mission. If he played well, completely concealed, or made up his story with a perfect lie, he Although the side mission has been completed, it may lead to another result—letting Xiaocao escape.”

After a pause, Gu Liang said again: "I think the branch we concealed must have an impact on the final guess of the truth. How to conceal our story and convince everyone who is the real culprit is what we have to consider. But If you can't have both, it's up to us to choose."

Yang Yedao: "So, deliberately setting up some sidelines may actually be a trick of the system. We follow the sideline tasks, we may not be able to complete the sidelines, and it may mislead other players. The same is true for others. Anything will hinder us from finding the truth."

Gu Liang was still complaining about the traps in the branch line set up by the system.

But now it is increasingly discovered that these branch lines are actually really difficult to complete.

If the player is serious about doing side quests, he may lose.

Take Yang Ye as an example, his skin features are so obvious that it's hard to hide.

He used the foundation box as a cover, and he might not be able to pass the test at all.

Therefore, although there are traps in Gu Liang's branch line, there may still be a way to achieve it.

It was very difficult for Yang Ye to complete this.

Therefore, the system wants everyone to get rewards by completing side tasks to be false, so that everyone can deceive each other, hide their own stories, and hinder the final finding of the real culprit. This is probably its ultimate goal.

When everyone approached a bone room, Meng Qiancheng went to open another iron gate in the blocked area opposite.

A moment later he came running back. "The situation over there is similar to this side. I have opened the door to ventilate. After reading this, the smell over there will dissipate a little, so we can go directly there."

"Did you find anything?"

"Here, here."

Gu Liang pointed to what they had just found.

It's basically a pile of rags and clothes, all pulled from the hill of bones.

It is not difficult to speculate that these are the clothes they wore in front of them.

Gu Liang took a look, and found that they were basically coarse linen clothes. It seemed that these people were not rich.

Li Xiaoyu had always been afraid of these things, and now she mustered up a lot of courage to enter this room, but she didn't dare to touch these bones, so she rummaged on a wooden shelf in the corner.

"Here are some kettles or something. Maybe these people are kept in this house? Here are some things they would use, like chopsticks and bowls."

Su Lan heard this and walked to her side. "I'll take a look with you."

The two new players, Boss Mei and Sister Mei, remained calm, and together with Yang Ye and Gu Liang, they removed the bones one by one to see if there was anything hidden underneath.

But they didn't find any clues, it was nothing more than corpses piled up here one by one, and then turned into bones.

Finally, Gu Liang moved his gaze to the left corner.

There is a row of iron railings there, a certain distance from the pile of bones in the middle of the house.

There are also some bones beside the railing.

Gu Liang approached and found that there were handcuffs on the railing, and they were very dense, one after another.

Many handcuffs correspond to a bone.

At this moment, Yang Ye walked up to Gu Liang, squatted down, and looked at the railings and handcuffs.

Then he looked over the railing and saw the wall behind him.

Yang Ye didn't bother to look for paper and towels, and just wiped the wall with his hands.

Part of the dust on the wall dissipated, Yang Ye took a flashlight and shone on it.

On the wall are the characters "positive" one by one.

This is obviously counting the days before the handcuffed person was alive.

Every day, he draws a stroke on the wall.

With drooping eyelids, Gu Liang glanced at the bone near the lettering, and couldn't help frowning.

——It's a pity that this person didn't wait until the day he got out alive.

Gu Liang knew that what Li Xiaoyu said should be correct, this is a place like a prison.

Many people were locked in, and their hands were usually handcuffed to the railing, unable to move.

When they were needed, for some unknown reason, they were taken off the railing, killed, and then thrown in the middle of the room. As for the others who were still alive, they could only be chained to the iron railing to witness all this.

It's hard to imagine how desperate the people who were locked up were at that time.

In the end, for some unknown reason, no one cares about them.

So they were locked up and starved to death. Only after their bodies were turned into bones could their wrists be released from the handcuffs.

They were not freed from their shackles until they died.

After seeing the railings, handcuffs, bones scattered beside the railings, and bones piled up in the middle of the room, Yang Ye and Gu Liang went to Li Xiaoyu's side. "Do you have any clues here?"

"Find a notepad, let's go out and look." Li Xiaoyu said, "There should be nothing else."

Everyone immediately left this extremely oppressive and heavy room and returned to the lobby.

Turn off the flashlight, and with the bright light, everyone looked at the book.

Randomly flipping through a yellowed page, it reads: "On October 17, 9X10, 7 people entered, 3 died, and 1 was seriously injured. Remarks—the seriously injured need to supplement enough food to keep them alive, For the Duke's next use."

On the next page, it reads: "October 17, 9X10, 8 people entered, 0 person died. Remarks—the seriously injured person died unexpectedly yesterday, but there are fewer and fewer living people nearby. Where can I find it? It's hard."

It was a thick book, and each page roughly recorded the same content, but the number of "entered" people and the number of "dead" people were not the same.

"It's... so horrible and disgusting." Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but said, "What's going on with this duke?"

Su Lan said at this moment: "When the system announced the public plot, didn't it mention vampires? The Duke escaped and came here, built an old castle, bewitched the surrounding villages with magic, and made the people here worship them Gods from the West."

"Afterwards, the people in the castle disappeared overnight. Some said they became evil spirits, some said they became vampires. But no one knows the truth."

Speaking of this, Su Lan said again: "The corpse in the kitchen was obviously sucked blood. I don't know why no one has mentioned this. But now it seems that the situation is very clear. There are vampires in this script."

"The servants captured the villagers, locked them here, and provided the Duke with a steady stream of blood."

"The Duke probably wants to support these people. After all, people can continue to produce blood when they are alive. It's just that sometimes he can't control it, and the blood sucks too much, and people die. The dead people, the servants didn't throw them away. Instead of going somewhere else, they just piled up in the room where the villagers were held."

"I don't know what happened later. It is estimated that he did too many bad things. He suffered retribution and the Duke died. After that, no one cared about these villagers. So those who survived and were handcuffed to the railing starved to death. .”

After hearing this, Meng Qiancheng looked at her: "Hey, it's so clear, do you know what's inside?"

"I don't know. But it's obvious. None of you dare to say it, but I dare to say it." Su Lan glanced at everyone one by one, "Those of you who dare not mention the word 'vampire' are the only ones who have a problem .”

Gu Liang didn't answer the question for the time being, because he was thinking about it himself.

After a while, he said: "It was mentioned in the public plot - the people in the castle disappeared overnight. Is it possible that...they have all traveled through time and arrived 300 years later."

Yang Ye thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Just now Li Xiaoyu said that he encountered bat and mouse corpses, then we can assume that there is indeed a time-traveling incident. These animals, as well as the ancient objects in the lobby, together with the Duke and others I have timed through. But why didn’t those corpses in that room just time pass through?"

"If they crossed over, they should still be fresh corpses, or the ossification is not obvious. But whether it is the smell or the degree of corruption, they have indeed been dead for 300 years."

Yang Ye's question was actually Gu Liang's question.

Gu Liang had some guesses in his heart, so he went back to the room full of bones and took a look.

In the prison cell, the walls are pitch black and bleak.

Naturally, such a room cannot have decorations.

The oil murals that are often seen in the castle are not in this room.

There were some guesses in his mind, but Gu Liang didn't say anything for the time being, and decided to look at other clues before talking.

After Gu Liang returned to the lobby, Boss Mei among the new players finally took the initiative to speak: "It's useless for us to discuss these things now. It's almost 11 o'clock. It's only an hour away from 12 o'clock, and there are still so many rooms that I haven't seen. Let's hurry up and explore."

Everyone naturally accepted Boss Mei's suggestion and went to the opposite room first.

Just like the room just now, the huge room is full of bones.

A little bit different from the room just now is that the room just now has only one row of railings. Two of the four walls in this room are equipped with iron railings. It can be seen that there are only more dead people in this room than in the previous one. , and no less.

After a brief inspection of the room, everyone went to the second floor.

They only have 1 hour left, except for Gu Liang and Yang Ye. From everyone's point of view, there are still 2-6 floors, a total of 5 floors that have not been explored, so there is not much time allocated to each floor.

The structure of the second floor is roughly that a corridor is built around the lobby and the main hall, with rooms on both sides and a hollow in the middle.

Everyone quickly opened each room, and they didn't have time to go in and check carefully, so they could only get a general idea of ​​the situation.

Most of the rooms, like the two on the first floor, were fetid and had lots of bones in them.

But these are not human bones, they appear to be from various animals.

Some of the remaining rooms on this floor are servant rooms and some are utility rooms.

It took a lot of time to open all the doors and walk down the corridor.

Everyone quickly and roughly read it, and came to the third floor together.

The middle of the second floor is hollowed out, and this part of the area is connected to the first floor, which increases the sense of space in the main hall.

Therefore, the overall area on the second floor is relatively small, and all the rooms are relatively small.

The third floor is different. The structure here is similar to that of the sixth floor. Although there is only one corridor, and there are rooms one after another on both sides of the corridor, the rooms here are much larger, thus covering the entire plane.

The floor of the corridor is covered with a red carpet, and there are many small desks in the corridor. There are vases on the desks, and there are roses in the vases.

The roses are absolutely fresh, even with dewdrops on them.

The doors of the rooms here are not the same.

It can be seen that there is a door that is extremely ornate, with ornate heraldry painted on it, and the door frame is golden, which may be real gold.

In this way, everyone naturally chose to check this room first.

After trying several locks, the door was successfully opened.

The door opened, and what came into view was a very dreamy room. It seemed that this room belonged to a girl.

There are paintings all around the room, all of which are roses.

The curtains were velvet, the bed curtains were pink, and the ornate carpet had roses, and everything seemed to say that the owner of the house loved roses.

But when everyone opened the bed curtain, a utensil that was quite different from the dreamlike arrangement appeared—it was a coffin.

Where the bed was supposed to be, there was actually a coffin.

Everyone approached and found a line of English engraved on the coffin lid: "For_My_Dear_Princess."

—To my dear princess.

Everyone discussed it, and without any objection, they pushed open the coffin lid together.

—the coffin was empty.

The dark coffin is sprinkled with bright red rose petals, which has a combination of Gothic beauty and death.

Walking out of the princess room, everyone opened several rooms one after another, probably all the rooms where the servants serving the princess live.

After leaving the third floor, everyone went to the fourth floor.

If the third floor is where a princess who loves roses lives, then the fourth floor should belong to Duke Dahl himself.

The princess room on the third floor corresponds to the fourth floor, which is the Duke's room.

There are simple portraits of people painted on the walls of the room, and there is also a coffin in the middle.

It was still empty.

When everyone came to the fifth floor, there was only half an hour left.

Still the first to open the door of the most gorgeous room, walk into it, and by the light of the flashlight, you can see that the murals on the walls are all sunflowers.

The bed curtain was opened, and there was still a coffin inside.

The English words on the coffin lid read: "For_The_Love_Of_My_Life."

—to the love of my life.

When they worked together to open the coffin board, everyone already agreed that the inside was empty.

But not so.

There are people inside.

She has no breath, no temperature, but the body is still alive, it seems that she hasn't been dead for too long.

A group of people gathered around the coffin, and they immediately turned on the flashlights.

Several lights illuminated a face—it belonged to Li Xiaoyu.

"Fuck—"

After experiencing "City of Immortality", Li Xiaoyu had the experience of facing her own corpse. She was not frightened at the moment, but she was indeed surprised.

"Xiaoyu, do you know what's going on?" Gu Liang asked her.

Li Xiaoyu shook her head: "I don't know!"

Meng Qiancheng couldn't help asking, "You're not a vampire, are you? You were the one who killed the chef this morning?"

"Fuck." Li Xiaoyu hurriedly said, "I don't know anything without me. I'm Ai's best friend's mother, and I just came here today."

Gu Liang frowned: "It seems that this floor is special. I want to see more here, and it may be too late to go to the sixth floor. Otherwise, everyone will act separately?"

At the end, Gu Liang glanced at Yang Ye.

Yang Ye understood what he meant, he asked himself to go to the sixth floor.

On the one hand, it seemed that Yang Ye wanted to actively explore the sixth floor, creating the illusion that he had never been to the sixth floor.

Secondly, he can observe the players going to the sixth floor to see if they have found any clues that are not good for him and Gu Liang.

In the end, Yang Ye, Boss Mei, Su Lan, and Meng Qiancheng chose the sixth floor.

The rest of Gu Liang, Li Xiaoyu and Sister Mei chose to stay on the fifth floor.

Gu Liang stayed in this room to explore for the time being. He opened several cabinets and found candles.

After lighting a few candles, the room is much brighter, and it is much easier to explore. It is not necessary for the player to hold the flashlight all the time, and on the other hand, he has to worry about whether some ghosts and ghosts will suddenly appear in the corners that are not illuminated by the flashlight.

Taking another look at the room by candlelight, Gu Liang came to the dressing table to check.

Unlike other girls' dressing tables, there is no mirror here.

In fact, whether it was the princess's room or the duke's room, they had never seen a mirror along the way.

Probably because mirrors can't reflect vampires, so they don't need mirrors.

Open the cabinet, there is a diary inside.

When Gu Liang picked up the diary, Sister Mei and Li Xiaoyu also gathered around, and the three of them checked the diary together.

There is only one page in the diary that records the content, but there are signs of being torn off.

Unlike the diary in Boss Rong’s room where a page was torn out so that it could be restored with a pencil, this diary has been torn out in half, and there is no way to know what was originally recorded in the torn out part.

The content written on this piece of paper with words is not coherent, and the handwriting is a bit messy. It is conceivable that the person who wrote these words is not in a particularly good mental state.

"He actually said he loved me. Ridiculous, too ridiculous. He killed so many people, all my family members, and he actually said he loved me... Irony, irony."

"Today he forced me to drink human blood again. He said that I like the sun the most. If I drink enough human blood like him, I won't be afraid of the sun. He said he wanted to take me for a walk in the sun. No, no possible."

"I'd rather be imprisoned in this dark cage forever, I'd rather be painting sunflowers than see the real sunshine forever, and I won't drink human blood! I won't do what he wants. Never! "

"Dahl, you will have retribution! You will have retribution! If I die, I will drag you to hell!"

After reading the diary, the three of them frowned tightly.

In the end, Gu Liang turned the diary to the title page, where the words "Ai Meili" were written on it.

The author has something to say:

If this chapter is a bit depressing, I will open a small theater for everyone to play.

[Small brain-hole theater, non-text, don't take it seriously, just watch and play]

Gu Liang went to the class reunion.

After inquiring that Yu Hui would also attend, Yang Ye withdrew from various meetings and followed them non-stop.

Who is Yu Hui—Liangliang's first love!

Seeing your first love behind my back, that's amazing!

Yang Ye didn't expect that when he arrived, a group of girls were complaining about Gu Liang.

The girls in the room are not young anymore, and many of them are holding children, so they don't feel embarrassed to talk about these things for more than ten years, they are all jokes.

Yu Hui: "One time in class, I secretly reached out to Gu Liang under the table, wanting to hold hands with him. Do you know? He actually handed me a pen! His original words were——the passage the teacher said It's very important to take notes, is your pen out of ink?"

Female classmate A: "After you transferred to another school, I once wanted to confess my love to Gu Liang. I ran over to him while he was in the self-study room and put the love letter in the exercise book. As a result, he really kept giving me lectures. He didn’t even read the letter. It’s full of hearts! Why can’t he understand it! What kind of patient is he! "

Female classmate B: "After running in physical education class, I often bring water to Gu Liang. Guess what he did, he found me one day, I thought he confessed to me, but he gave me a dozen money, saying Pay my water bill. I asked him if he knew why I brought him water, and guess what he said?"

Yang Ye was so happy that he couldn't help but pushed open the door of the box and asked, "What did he say?"

In fact, everyone didn't know who Yang Ye was, but they couldn't say half of what they said. Female classmate B continued: "He said, my family runs a canteen at school, and I'm probably selling water?"

Yang Ye was delighted, he thought Gu Liangliang was so funny, he couldn't help but join the team, "I'll tell you something, once I look back at Liang—"

After everyone laughed, they reacted and asked him, "Who are you?"

"Cough." Yang Ye said, "I, his boss, came to ask him to work overtime—"

Before Yang Ye finished speaking, Gu Liang stood up and said coldly, "He's the one who is going to kneel on the washboard when he gets home today."

Yang Ye smiled: "Are you announcing it to me in front of your old classmates?"

Gu Liang turned and left. "Go, after buying the washboard, I'll tell you."
