Weird Talker

Chapter 289 The Dice of Fate
The words are divided into two parts.

When Qin Manjiang and Yu Qinghuan fled the house, Xu Yizheng was standing on the balcony of his apartment, looking at the screen of his mobile phone. On the screen... was the name he took when he left the old locust tree and engraved on the trunk.

【Liu Junyan】

【Shen Hong】

When he saw those two names, the death scene of the players in the previous round flashed back in his mind.

Except for Chen Zhiyuan, no one else knew about this discovery.

It's not that Xu Yi is hiding his secrets, it's just that he doesn't want to touch these two names from the bottom of his heart.

The violent storm and the twisted corpses all over the ground I saw when I was under the old locust tree, it was too terrifying...

He was worried that telling everyone these two names rashly would disrupt their original arrangements.

Even if he wanted to say it, he planned to check it out by himself first.

Xu Yi let out a foul breath and looked back.

Zhong Xueran went to the bathroom, and it was almost 5 minutes. Although he asked her just now, she did stay in the bathroom well, but he didn't think that place was suitable for staying for a long time.

Just as he was about to let her out, his cell phone vibrated.

[The game has already started, permanent props can be used. 】

[I'm going to the old town to find two names. 】

[The names of the two people in the opening remarks. 】

The sender is Qin Manjiang.

After carefully reading the information, Xu Yi frowned slightly.

Has the game really started...

No wonder the ghost was already in motion.

If people and ghosts in the world of ghost stories are regarded as a turn-based game, each game has different battle rules. It is impossible for human players to defeat ghosts based on their strength on paper. They must find that Only by finding the hidden rules of the battle and finding the logic of the ghost's behavior can it be counteracted.

The start time of the game is the same for both humans and ghosts.

But this time [Wedding Dress], Li Gui acted a round ahead of the start of the game!
Strictly speaking, it has violated the rules of the ghost talk world. It stands to reason that this ghost should be wiped out, but it still exists.

In other words, for this strange talk, the early round is a concrete manifestation of the ghost's ability, and the logic in this game is reasonable.

Xu Yi thought about this question, and at the same time, he sent the photo he took to Qin Manjiang.

Now that Qin Manjiang had noticed the man and the woman through the opening remarks, it was time to tell him the two names.

After sending the text message, Xu Yi glanced at the bathroom again.

Is it out yet?
"Zhong Xueran? Come out, I need to use the bathroom."

He yelled casually, of course it was just nonsense to make her come out quickly.

"Wow..."

The sound of flushing water suddenly sounded.

The door opened.

What caught Xu's eyes was a thin woman...

As soon as she appeared, the temperature in the whole living room dropped a bit, and Zhong Xueran's shadow could be vaguely seen on the strange face, which was expressionless.

Especially that mouth, the lips that were painted bright red... It is more vivid than before. If it was the color of inferior lip gloss before, then her lips now... are the freshest blood red. The scarlet on the face seemed to flow down at any moment.

Even all of her exposed skin has begun to turn blue-gray...

The hairs on Xu Yi's arms stood on end, he knew that this woman was Zhong Xueran, but Zhong Xueran before entering the bathroom was not like this!

If it is said that before entering the bathroom, Zhong Xueran's appearance and temperament were [-]% or [-]% similar to her own, then the Zhong Xueran who just came out of the bathroom now is only about [-]% similar...

From this "person", one can vaguely see the shadow of Zhong Xueran, but... the more one looks at her, the more creepy she becomes.

Qin Manjiang was right... The female players may have encountered some unknown curse, and they are slowly becoming less like themselves.

And Zhong Xueran was the first person to be cursed.

"what happened?"

Zhong Xueran didn't seem to respond to her abnormality, she looked at Xu Yi directly, without changing her tone.

"It's nothing, you're too slow." Of course Xu Yi didn't want to be bored, he glanced at Zhong Xueran, and then looked away.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

It was just a casual remark, but now Xu Yi actually went to the bathroom.

He originally wanted to tell Zhong Xueran about Qin Manjiang and his future plans, but Zhong Xueran's strange changes made him dispel that idea.

Xu Yi is no longer sure that Zhong Xueran is still a complete "Zhong Xueran", so it may not be wise to rashly tell her his and other players' plans.

And Zhong Xueran, who watched Xu Yi enter the bathroom, also took steps inexplicably, and walked to the balcony. She looked at the window glass on the balcony.

Her shadow was reflected in the darkness of the glass.

this face...

Is it me?
I don't know why, this weird scene should have made her feel terrified, but... as she stared at the shadow in the glass, she still didn't show any expression.

Her gaze searched around, and finally... landed on the refrigerator in Xu's family.

----

In the bathroom, Xu Yi turned on the faucet, and the sound of rushing water was especially noticeable in the silent night.

He reached for a handful of water and simply washed his face.

This season was already cold, and his facial skin was hit by cold water, and his mind was instantly sober.

Is it possible to stop Zhong Xueran's mutation?

There is... but it is necessary to find the reason why she becomes another "person".

Only by knowing the root of the problem can we talk about it and solve it.

But judging from the known information so far, whether it is Yu Qinghuan on Qin Manjiang's side, or Zhong Xueran next to him, they did not do anything wrong to cause themselves to be cursed.

They just "witnessed" the big red sedan chair with a combination of a man and a woman.

However, both combinations are mutations of the girls, but nothing happened to the boys.

This is not reasonable...

He didn't think that Guitan would treat male and female players differently. Something must have happened when a man and a woman witnessed the big red sedan chair at the same time.

It's just that the girl's mutation is too obvious.

But... what's going on in men?
Looking at himself in the mirror, Xu Yi's pupils suddenly shrank... Wait...

What I saw under that locust tree, who was that person who climbed up the tree and seemed to be running away?

That person isn't a gamer...he's someone from this ghost story!
Could it be that!
Xu Yi suddenly made an extremely unbelievable guess.

Could it be that the man who was surrounded by corpses at the end and climbed up the old locust tree in the storm is the "you" in the opening speech?

So now this strange talk... the reason why the man and woman are paired up is to restore the scene of "you" and the "bride" at that time?

Xu glanced at his arm, and goosebumps appeared on his skin.

No... ghosts are not brides... nor are they "伱"!
The two people in the opening speech are experiencing the same thing as us. Everything the player encounters now is a repeat of what they encountered at that time!
If this guess is correct...then if it develops like this, it will become——

[Put on my wedding dress. 】

[I don't want to die too early. 】

【I ask you... where will you go after you die. 】

【You laugh and cry at the same time. 】

【Touch my rotting body. 】

【Kiss my bones arm. 】

Yes...they will wear wedding dresses...

Will gradually die, the body will rot, and the arms will become bones...

Holding his forehead, Xu Yi slammed his fist on the bathroom wall.

By the way... Qin Manjiang was right about those two names again, the identities of those two people must be confirmed first.

In time, she won't die...

You still have time……

Xu Yi rolled up his sleeves and looked at the red string on his right wrist.

On this red rope, there is a dice.

Qin Manjiang said... the game has already begun.

That also means, it can be used.

Untie the red string and remove the dice.

Xu Yi spread out his palm, and it lay quietly in his palm, motionless.

[Dice of Destiny. 】

[Once in a round, used at any time, will affect the player's luck by the size of the throwing points.There is no randomness, your destiny, destiny. 】

Xu Yi didn't know if the permanent props of other players had the following sentence.

But the phrase [no randomness, your destiny, destiny] made him not like his permanent props very much.

If there is such a thing as fate, what is the meaning of life?
He looked at [Dice of Destiny] and thought.

In the palm of his hand, the six-sided dice spun out of thin air... Three seconds later, it rolled a few times in his palm...it stopped.

Looking at the number facing up, Xu Yi smiled and whispered to himself:

"It's interesting now..."

(Today’s condition is too bad. I’m really not feeling well after the first watch... I’ll go to bed first, and I’ll make it up for everyone tomorrow. Also, I’ll try to be as early as possible in future updates. Going to bed late will have too much impact on the body... ...)
　Thanks to Hua Qingli, sweet sweets, horson, nonsense, book friends 2022, and the poets of Los Santos for their rewards. Good night everyone, go to bed early.
