Weird Talker

Shen Ke walked on the road in the sick village, except for the fog that enveloped the village, the fog in the entire village had no effect on him.

His expression was not as relaxed as before, but extraordinarily serious, an extremely rare seriousness.

He threw away the handkerchief almost immediately, the handkerchief he used to cover Xu Tingfang's mouth just now.

Xu Tingfang didn't realize that she was dying at all.

That woman told him all the contents of "Records of the Sick Village" completely, and there was not much content. If she remembered correctly, she must be crazy.

Because the "Library" is not mentioned at all in "Records of the Sick Village".

But Xu Tingfang told him subconsciously that there were six locations.

She counted the [Library] she was in, her consciousness had been affected by some kind of existence, but she didn't know it yet...

Was the "frog egg" on Xu Tingfang's face caused by touching that book?

----

10 minutes ago.

Through communicating with the "shopping guide", Shen Kai successfully stood at the entrance of the supermarket, and cleared the supermarket area by "triggering the plot" by not entering.

After clearing the customs, everything in the supermarket showed its true appearance to him.

The bloated carrion standing at the cash register could be vaguely seen to be a young lady.

In the store manager's office, there was only a half-headed middle-aged store manager left.

A shopping guide with a big hole in his abdomen and rotting organs falling all over the floor.

The flashlight was stuck in his mouth, and he was lying on his back in the corner, bleeding all over the security guards.

Everyone in this supermarket is dead.

Their deaths were extremely miserable, but they all had one feature in common—the necks of all the corpses were covered with dense sticky particles like "frog eggs".

Shen Ke entered the supermarket, walking in the rotting flesh and stench, he didn't feel disgusted, just curious.

They are already dead, who gave the person who communicated with me just now, and the state that seems to be alive?
He didn't leave the supermarket immediately after clearing the personal area, but chose to continue exploring.

From Shen Li's point of view, every action in this world is meaningful, even if a person scratches his face unconsciously, it is also meaningful, because maybe that person didn't notice it, it's just that piece of skin itching.

Therefore, [Pupil Realm] broke up everyone and sent them to different places, which must have its meaning.

For example, only specific people in each area can "see" specific clues, which is not surprising in the sick village where the fog is "specially displayed" to players.

He was very careful, the whole supermarket was not big, and the supermarket in the village was actually not that big, Shen Shen quickly visited the whole supermarket.

He did not find any bodies in the supermarket belonging to "customers", except for four bodies that appeared to be the original personnel of the supermarket.

So, the clues should be in these people?

Those disgusting "frog eggs" were also on them.

His intuition told him that it is best not to touch those "frog eggs", which are probably the [poison] that needs to be disinfected as mentioned in the rules.

He casually picked up the plastic stick that had fallen beside the security guard, picked up the clothes of the security guard with a flashlight stuck in his mouth, and roughly checked the things on him, but found no clues.

It was the state of his death that aroused Shen Kai's curiosity. This security guard was the only one among the supermarket staff who didn't look like he was killed by a ghost or a monster. He was more like killed by a "person".

Shen Ke got up, and walked towards the cashier lady and the shopping guide lady whose bodies had been completely decomposed.

Whether it was their working area or their bodies, Shen Kai still didn't find any clues.

However, Shen Ke discovered that the "frog eggs" on the two people seemed to be still alive?

When I used a plastic stick to pick off the cashier's collar just now, the "frog eggs" on her neck were wriggling slightly, trying to wrap the plastic stick and crawl over.

Shen Ke immediately threw the plastic stick far away, and picked up a broom again.

The only place where there may still be clues is the store manager.

Entering the store manager's office, Shen Shen almost couldn't open his eyes due to a strong stench. He frowned slightly, fanned the air in front of his nose, leaned forward in front of the store manager, and just picked up the store manager's clothes with a broom. suddenly!
A slender black thread suddenly shot towards his face!

Shen Li's pupils shrank, and he turned his head very quickly to avoid the black line!
The black thread fell on the ground, like a strand of hair scorched by fire, quickly curled, shrank into a small black dot in the blink of an eye, and stopped moving.

Shen Ke stood on the spot, looked sideways at the boss's body, would he "die" if he left the host?

It seems that the weird talk in the sick village did come from some kind of "parasite".

Shen Kai continued to move, picked up the boss's clothes, and after removing layers of bloody clothes, a notebook rolled down from the boss's body and fell to the ground.

Shen Kai picked it up and saw that it was an accounting book.

He threw the broom on the ground casually, picked up the ledger, and left the supermarket, not planning to stay here for a long time.

No one knows how many "black thread parasites" there are on the boss's body.

As I walked, I looked through it. This is indeed the ledger book of the supermarket, recording what products were sold today, how much I received, and how much I spent.

All records look normal at first glance.

But... Shen Hai's gaze suddenly stopped on one of the pages.

[Damn it, it's a big loss, which old man in the nursing home bought wine on credit? 】

[It's really fucked up, no one remembers it. 】

[Thanks to my box of wine, drink it, drink it to death you old dog! 】

Some complaints from the boss are written in the ledger.

But more importantly, it was the record of the day. An old man from a nursing home bought a case of wine on credit, but no one remembered who the old man was.

There's something weird about this.

If one person can't remember, it can be said to be a memory problem, but there are four people in the supermarket, the security guard, the cashier, the shopping guide and the boss, all of whom can't remember, so it's obviously something strange.

Wine, the old man in the nursing home.

Shen Kai kept these two points in his heart, now he looked back and thought, in the supermarket just now, it seems that he really didn't see any alcohol?

interesting……

After putting away the ledger, Shen Kai looked around, the nearest building was the library diagonally ahead.

Is there a library in the village?

It is worthy of being engaged in tourism.

So... will there be players there?

He walked slowly, and after seeing the signboard full of rules outside the library, he knew that there were probably people inside.

Shen Ke glanced in the direction of the library, the door was closed, but the window at the back was open.

He thought for a while, and went directly through the window.

However, as soon as he entered the library, Shen Kai felt an extremely depressing and cold atmosphere.

Obviously nothing was seen in the library, but it seemed to be a dark place, full of people.

At this time, he suddenly heard some slight movements.

Looking intently, he saw a figure.

Is it Xu Tingfang?

From his angle, he could see that Xu Tingfang was constantly moving some books to the ground. However, when he saw Xu Tingfang's face, Shen Kai's expression suddenly changed.

Scattered "frog eggs" were lying on Xu Tingfang's neck, and even her chin, which was close to her lips, had some "frog eggs" too!

Didn't she discover it herself?
Shen Ship walked lightly to the wall behind her, watching her movements.

Judging from her actions, Xu Tingfang should still be human, but there are already scattered "frog eggs" on her neck and chin!

It's the same as the corpses I saw in the supermarket just now...

Shen Li took out the handkerchief, looked at her, then... Let's try, can you get those things off.

After Xu Tingfang leaned over, Shen Shi covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and when he let go, he moved his hand to his chin calmly.

However... completely useless.

Those "frog eggs" were still on his chin and neck, and he tried hard, but he still couldn't get them off.

After a short thought, Shen Kai decided not to tell her about this grim reality.

Not even wine.

If she wants to survive, she must clear the game as soon as possible and leave [Sick Village] before the "frog eggs" mature.

Thanks to Asuka Joan and Weilin for their tip.
