Zodiac Survival Game

Chapter 274 Money and Tavern
"What do you want to ask me about?"

Seeing the other party looking at them, Xu Kaifeng smiled and said, "Do you know the development history of this town?"

"The development history of the town? I really don't know this. I lost my memory before, so I don't know anything about the past of this town."

The other party's words made everyone stunned, "How did you lose your memory?"

Hearing He Ge's question, the other party scratched his head and then said in a slightly confused way, "I don't know, I was in this temple after waking up, I don't know who I am or why I appeared in this temple. I asked people in the town, but they all said they didn’t know me.”

"Do you know what's special about the people in your town?"

Xu Kaifeng's words confused the other party, "A special place. If you want to talk about a special place, the only thing I can think of is that I can't see the sun."

After saying this, the other party paused for a moment and then continued, "Actually, when I just woke up, I tried to walk out of the room, but my skin almost burned to the point of being bald. Later, after passing by other people in the town, I tried to walk out of the room. Only then did I realize that we can’t go out during the day.”

"Is there nothing else special?"

"Other special ones? No more! Anyway, as far as I know, this is the only one."

Seeing that they couldn't find anything useful to ask from the other party's mouth, Liu Xuanmiao and his party left.

After coming out, Xu Kaifeng said, "I have an intuition that this guy should be the key figure in this game. What do you think?"

"I think so too, and have you noticed that when I asked him if there was anything special about him just now, he didn't mention that they have a third eye. There are currently two possibilities. One is that they don't feel that they have a third eye. "Three eyes is a strange thing, and another possibility is that they don't know they have a third eye."

"How come they don't know that they have a third eye? I still think they know, after all, it belongs to them." Xu Kaifeng said with some disapproval.

"Do you remember what they looked like last night when they looked up at the sky? They looked obviously unconscious. So I still prefer that the villagers in the town didn't know that they had a third eye. "

Liu Xuanmiao's words also reminded Xu Kaifeng of the horrifying scene last night. The situation of the group of people at that time was a bit strange. One second, the third eye was still crying, and the next second they seemed to be fine. Start shopping, the people in this town are really weird.

"If things are really like what you said, people in this town don't know that they have a third eye, then how can this be done?"

Seeing Xu Kaifeng say this, He Ge, who had not expressed his opinion just now, spoke, "Curse."

"You mean the curse of the Cat God?"

"Correct."

He Ge's words made Xu Kaifeng fall into deep thought, "I remember the hotel proprietress said before that it was the cat god's curse that prevented people in the town from going out during the day. She also said at the time that these people abused cats to end up like this. , but now it seems that this is obviously not the case! How could a normal person have a third eye?"

"Half and half."

Hearing what He Ge said, Liu Xuanmiao and Xu Kaifeng were both confused, "What half and half?"

"That innkeeper's wife should tell half the truth and half the lie."

"But how to determine which sentence she said is the truth and which sentence is a lie?" Xu Kaifeng said.

"It's very simple. The curse is real, but the cat abuse is fake." "You mean, there is indeed a curse, but it is not the curse of the cat god. Is that what you mean?" Liu Xuanmiao pondered for a while.

"No, it is indeed a curse from the Cat God. They should not be lying about this."

He Ge's words puzzled Xu Kaifeng, "Since no one in this town abuses cats anymore, why does the cat god still curse the people in this town?"

"It's hard to say yet. We'll have to find the town's notepad to be sure."

The three people returned to the door of Lao Zhou's house. On the way back, they had already thought about how to deal with Lao Zhou.

The one-time props that were obtained by selling round fans can be used now. One of them is a scent that can make people faint temporarily, which can be used right now.

Five minutes after lighting the incense and throwing it into the house, Liu Xuanmiao and his group pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. This time, the dog named Wangcai did not rush out and roar at them.

After opening the door of the house, the three people saw the white dog lying not far away, snoring, and Lao Zhou, who was also lying on the pit and slept like a dead pig.

Seeing this, He Ge and others immediately began to search the entire room.

There were very few things in Lao Zhou's room. Apart from the kang, there was a table and a standing cabinet, and the kitchen in the back room. Apart from these, there was nothing else.

Of course, when they searched the house, they did not forget the key figure Lao Zhou. Unfortunately, except for the strong smell of alcohol, there was nothing on Lao Zhou.

In addition to not finding the notepad in the room, they also did not see the protection fee that Lao Zhou had collected previously.

Faced with this situation, Liu Xuanmiao and his party were puzzled. Why did he disappear overnight after collecting so much protection money last night? Where did he spend the money?

Seeing that the half hour that Fan Xiang could be stunned was coming soon, Liu Xuanmiao and his party didn't care about this question and hurriedly retreated from Lao Zhou's house.

"He collected so much protection money last night, and it all disappeared overnight. Where did his money go?"

Seeing Xu Kaifeng ask this, Liu Xuanmiao thought for a moment and then said, "Did he spend all the money to buy wine? Look at the smell of alcohol on his body. The smell of alcohol on his body has not disappeared since we met him." "

"That's true, but the money he spent last night was enough for him to buy a lot of wine. As for spending all the money in one night?" Xu Kaifeng said.

"How do you know that money can buy a lot of wine? Have you ever been to a tavern in this town?"

Hearing Liu Xuanmiao's question, Xu Kaifeng nodded, "The wine here is very good. I usually don't have any hobbies. I just like to drink a little wine or something. Then when I passed by the pub yesterday, I went to ask about it. one time."

"Lao Zhou's family has no wine left, but his money is gone, so where did he spend the other money? Money, wine, we have to go to the tavern."

Xu Kaifeng was puzzled by Liu Xuanmiao's words, "What are you doing in the tavern?"

"I have a guess, but I'm not sure yet. Only after I go to the tavern will I know whether my guess is right."

"Okay, I'll show you the way."
