Chapter 84
The courier boy stood at the door, holding the courier box in his hand. When he saw Jiang Qi coming out, he handed the courier to him.
Jiang Qi subconsciously looked behind the courier boy and found that there was no familiar sack.
"That's it?" Jiang Qi looked in disbelief.
The courier boy paused as he returned, then turned around and said, "This is the courier, the recipient is Jiang Qi."
"Nothing else?" Jiang Qi weighed the express delivery in his hand. It was not heavy, only two or three kilograms, the weight of an ordinary box.
The 2,499.5 yuan book has a prop with one sack and the other with two sacks. How come the 9,000 yuan book doesn't even have a sack.
Does it discriminate against horror books?
Does horror not deserve props? !
"Why don't you take a look at the courier truck to see if there are any sacks or anything like that? I remember that this courier is quite big. It shouldn't be just this small." Jiang Qi said.
The courier boy checked it roughly: "No, just this express delivery. If you really want other packages, I will find them later and send them to you. You'd better contact the seller first and ask how many packages they are. If If there are really few missing parts, just contact us directly.”
The courier boy was in a hurry and rode off on a three-wheeled scooter.
Jiang Qi returned to the store with the express delivery, picked up the utility knife and started to open the express delivery.
Different from the previous minimalist cover, the cover of this box of "Horror Doll House" is quite gaudy. The whole box is colorful and the overall tone is pink. In addition to the Q version font on the cover, there is a large candy fairy house. The pink house is full of candies of various colors.
It's not like a horror book, but more like a fun book for children.
Opening this box, there are six character books, a host manual, six invitations and two stacks of clue cards. The configuration is very simple.
Jiang Qi opened one of the invitation letters, which read:
Dear Ms. Zuo Si, your application for membership has been accepted by this association. Please come to the Horror Doll House at 7 pm on July 15th of the lunar calendar to complete your entrance exam. No waiting time. The theme of this exam is Turtle Soup.
Sincerely, The Paranormal Horror Enthusiasts Association.
Jiang Qi:......
This player is even called Death.
Jiang Qi looked at the cover of the book and found that the six players this time were named Zuo Si, Zhao Si, Xun Si, Yu Gui, Zhuang Gui, and Jian Gui.
For a moment, Jiang Qi couldn't tell which name was more unlucky.
Jiang Qi looked at the time. It was almost half past one. Old John's guests were probably arriving soon. Old John had even taken his books upstairs to prepare.
"Uncle Huang, I went upstairs to read the book. I locked the door directly. If I don't come out, you can step in for me when it's time for me to perform." Jiang Qi instructed.
The last time "Time Cinema" entered and exited the memory, there was a difference of several hours. Jiang Qi didn't dare to bet on how long this would take.
"Okay." Huang Fugui knew what Jiang Qi was worried about, "No problem."
The villains that Jiang Qi is responsible for, Huang Fugui, can play even if he works hard. He has specially practiced the performance of "Mask Club", so he has no problem playing temporarily.
Jiang Qi carried Ben upstairs and walked into the small modern room at the back.
The character version at the top belongs to Zuo Si, so Jiang Qi simply looked at Zuo Si's character version.
‘Your name is Zuo Si, and you are a senior horror novel enthusiast. ’
…
The book is quite thick and the amount of reading is not small.
Act 1 has 7 pages, mainly introducing Zuo Si's life of committing suicide.
Ms. Zuo Si's experience and level of committing suicide since she was a child would make the leading actors in terrible horror movies feel inferior to her.
In ordinary horror movies, the protagonists are at best disbelieving and arrogant. For example, when going out to play, they have to go to a remote villa in the forest, but they go to an uninhabited island, and they want to buy a famous haunted house. They think it is so cheap and it is a good deal. Big.
But these are all unconscious attempts to commit suicide.
Miss Zuo Si is really seeking death.
As a senior lover of horror novels, Zuo Si has devoted his life to searching for supernatural events and practicing feudal superstition. Others' hobbies are shopping, traveling and playing games. Zuo Si's hobbies are pen fairy, dish fairy and raising little ghosts.
Zuo Si lived in high school and played pen fairy with his roommates, and lived in college and played disc fairy with his roommates. Since her attempts to commit suicide over the years have not yielded any results (she is still alive), she deliberately went to an abandoned hospital that was said to be built on a grave hill to play pen fairy at 12 o'clock in the evening with a group of suicide enthusiasts she met online.
That time the Bi Xian was very effective. After a month of participation of 8 people, only 6 people were left alive. From then on, Zuo Si became more obsessed with this kind of death-seeking behavior, and even invited an informal Guman after the introduction of a netizen. Tong goes home.
Zuo Si tasted the benefits of raising a kid. Not only did he successfully win over his roommate's boyfriend, he also won a scholarship under absolutely impossible circumstances, won a small prize when buying lottery tickets, and made a small fortune.
Just when Zuo Si once again contacted the mysterious netizen who taught him to invite Gumantong home, and wanted to invite another Gumantong home, the netizen recommended the Supernatural and Horror Enthusiasts Association to her.
It is said that there are many big guys in this association, and everyone has rich experience in committing suicide. Zuo Si yearns for it very much. On the recommendation of a mysterious netizen, Zuo Si submitted an application for membership and received an invitation letter on the eve of the Ghost Festival, allowing her to go to the city's well-known haunted attractions for assessment on the night of the Ghost Festival.
The Horror Doll House was originally an Internet-famous candy store. The owner liked dolls very much and put hundreds of dolls in the candy store for decoration. The store is beautifully decorated, and people often come to check in and take photos.
But a year ago, the candy store accidentally caught fire. Since the fire broke out at night, and the fire started in the shopkeeper's room on the second floor, even though the fire was put out in a timely manner and the fire did not even spread to the first floor, the shopkeeper still died in the flames.
Since then, the store has been rumored to be haunted.
People nearby often hear the laughter and crying of children coming from this store. Especially at night, you can always hear the clear laughter of a little girl. She laughs and starts to cry, which is very touching.
Gradually, no one dared to rent the nearby shops, and the once popular Internet celebrity store turned into a horror doll house.
Jiang Qi, after reading the summary:...
How should I put it? With this situation, it would be difficult for Miss Zuo Si to leave alive.
By the way, can the player character be killed in a scripted killing plot?
If the remaining five are also seeking death at this level, Jiang Qi thinks that there is a high probability that these six people will be wiped out.
With this in mind, Jiang Qi opened the second act.
'At 7pm on July 15th of the lunar calendar, you walked into this legendary haunted shop on time as the invitation said. ’
In a flash of white light, Jiang Qi appeared on a strange street.
The sky was very dark, and there was still the last trace of sunset on the horizon, like the last flames of a fire that burned everything. The darkness under the flames was the ruins after it burned.
In front of Jiang Qi is a beautifully dressed girl with chestnut curly hair, delicate and small earrings hanging on her earlobes, carrying a khaki bag, wearing a plaid printed skirt, even her manicure is newly done, and Zuo Si The characters in the book are exactly the same.
Zuo Si stood in front of the abandoned candy store, hesitant to open the door.
Because no one had repaired it after the fire, the exterior walls of the candy store still looked blackened after the fire. The windows were closed so you couldn't see inside, and the door looked like it had been newly replaced.
There is also a sign on the door that says welcome.
"Open the door." Jiang Qi knew that Zuo Si would not be able to hear what he said, but he still urged, "You are the protagonist. You can't advance the plot if you don't open the door."
Zuo Si hesitated for a while, then reached out and twisted the handle, pushed open the door and walked in.
Jiang Qi followed closely behind.
The first thing that catches the eye is the clock on the wall.
7 o'clock sharp.
The time was perfect, Zuo Si was not late.
In addition to Zuo Si, there were 5 people in the room, three men and two women, which corresponded to 6 characters.
Zuo Si looked at the bright room, with pink wallpaper, dolls and decorations full of fairy tale princess features, and was dumbfounded. Apparently, he didn't expect that the legendary haunted candy store would look like this.
"Didn't the Internet say that there was a fire in this candy store? I saw that the walls outside were blackened by smoke. How come the inside is so well preserved? It doesn't look like there was a fire at all." Zuo Si asked.
No one answered her. The other five people were sitting on the chairs very indifferently. Zuo Si stopped talking when he saw this and sat on the last empty chair.
Jiang Qi began to carefully look at the decorations of the candy store. These were precious decoration materials for him.
He had already taken a rough look, and it would not be difficult to imitate the current decoration of this store into any room on the second floor.
From what he has seen so far, neither the dolls nor the decorations are expensive. The only thing that will cost a little money is probably the wallpaper on the wall, which must be customized by a specialized manufacturer. The candy store itself is not big. If you move this decoration picture into a small modern room, it may be a little crowded, but it doesn't matter. If you remove the table, it will be spacious.
What kind of table do you need to play horror books? A chair is enough to sit on.
It's better to be horror.
Jiang Qi praised in his heart that the venue is small, the staff is small, it saves money and is easy. It is really good news for the store.
While Jiang Qi was carefully studying the decoration of the candy store, the potbellied middle-aged man sitting on the chair became a little impatient.
"What's going on? The membership of a broken association is so mysterious that it requires a recommendation by someone. After the recommendation is completed, it has to come over for an exam. We gathered a few of us together and no one came out. Is there anyone? There is no one, so I'm leaving!"
"Mr. Yu, don't worry." An old voice came from the second floor.
Then came the sound of footsteps going downstairs, and the sound of a cane poking at the wooden stairs. The sound was very heavy, and just listening to it made people think that this cane must be very heavy.
An old lady with silver hair, stooped back, dressed in black, with a wrinkled face, so old that it seemed like the skin on her body was peeling off, and age spots all over her face and hands, came down from upstairs.
"I am your examiner today, and I am also the vice president of this association. My surname is Gu. You can just call me Granny Gu."
Grandma Gu's voice was hoarse, as if something was stuck in her throat. It was very uncomfortable to listen to her speak.
"Everyone is here to take the entrance examination of our association today. Time is tight, so I won't waste any more nonsense and get started directly."
