Chapter 59 The face outside the window
The only person I haven't seen yet is lighting engineer Lu Sheng, but he has already got tomorrow's itinerary plan, so there is no need to tell him room by room.

In the process of returning to the room, he happened to meet a little girl who came up to deliver water. She should be the owner's daughter. She was about eight or nine years old.

Chen Chi took the initiative to strike up a conversation, but in the end it was just a greeting. The other party was like a frightened mouse, put the hot water bottle on the ground and ran away.

So Chen Chi went back to his room and lay on the bed in a daze.

In order to ensure that he has a good state of customs clearance, he specially drank a cup of coffee to refresh himself before entering the book. Unexpectedly, when he came here at night, he was still full of energy after lying down for a long time. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind——

All the arrangements in the secret realm are intentional. For example, in the execution dungeon, the landing must be near the murderer. The system allows him to enter the book at this point. Does it mean that tonight is not peaceful?

That being the case, you shouldn't stay in the room right now, it might be rewarding to go outside.

With this in mind, Chen Chi got up and left the room, just in time to hear a scream from the next room.

That was Zhan Junru's room, the only girl in the team. Such a character had the highest probability of being killed when encountering danger, but the result was much faster than Chen Chi expected.

He rushed out of the room with a stride, just in time to see Zhan Junru, who was wrapped in a bath towel, open the door and grabbed his arm in shock.

"Someone, someone!"

"Someone? In the room?"

Chen Chi's identity was the security guard they hired, so he naturally had to take responsibility and take the initiative to enter the room to check.

Zhan Junru was so frightened that he couldn't speak, so Chen Chi looked around by himself.

She must have just been getting ready to take a shower. She didn't even untie her hair when she suddenly saw something and ran away. Chen Chi checked every corner, even under the bed, but there was no one else in the room. trace.

Chen Chi's calm expression like an outsider gave her a little confidence, and Zhan Junru finally returned to normal, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not the room, it's outside the window. I was about to take a bath at that time, and suddenly remembered that the curtains were not drawn. Suddenly, I saw a gloomy face looking in from the window!"

"Is someone peeping outside?"

Chen Chi came to the window and glanced out. This old-fashioned hotel has only three floors, but it is already the tallest building in the town. There are no telephone poles or big trees outside. There are only two kinds of faces that can be seen. Situation: There are wall-climbing lizardmen in town, or she's hallucinating.

According to past experience, if you choose not to trust your companion in this situation, there is a high probability that your companion will not survive the second night, so Chen Chi chose the first guess.

After all, it is an apostle game, and alienation will appear after reaching the intermediate level. It just so happens that this is a dungeon with intermediate difficulty, so it is not surprising that lizardmen appear.

At this time, other team members also came one after another. Among them, Cai Qian, the photography assistant, seemed to have a close relationship with Zhan Junru. Seeing that she was still holding onto Chen Chi's hand, he first came to pull it away, and then began to ask what happened. .

Taking this opportunity, Chen Chi began to observe the relationship within the team. He noticed that Zhan Junru didn't buy Cai Qian's greetings, so he took the initiative to push his hand away and turned his attention to director Chang Shan.

Cai Qian's expression was a bit awkward, but he didn't make any fuss. He withdrew his hand and looked at Chen Chi: "Did you find anything?"

"No." Chen Chi shook his head, "Let's ask the boss."

The only female member of the team encountered something strange. Seeing that these people didn't seem willing to let it go, they decided to go with the flow and investigate the hotel.

"Okay, let's ask." Producer Ma Shengrong is the leader of this team. At this time, he must stand up and give Chen Chi a look and ask him to go with him.

Chen Chi realized that he had something to say, so he asked directly on the stairs, "Is there anything I can tell you?"

"Well...it's like this. In fact, I heard some bad rumors before I came here. Since this happened, it's necessary to tell you."

"Okay, Brother Ma, tell me."

The identities arranged by the system are really useful. They seem to be excluded by small groups, but they can be trusted unconditionally at critical moments. There is no need for Chen Chi to waste time attacking them, just wait for the dangers to happen one by one.

"It is said that there was a big incident when this place was still a village. A tourist group that came here to explore disappeared in the back mountain. The police and rescue team rushed to it one after another. As a result, there was heavy fog in the mountain, and a few more disappeared. In the end, they had to die. It's over."

"Can this be left alone?" Chen Chi was startled, "How many lives, is there a double digit?"

"Yes, it is said that more than 20 people died. The villagers in the village are useless. They have touched the taboo without authorization and must bear the wrath of the gods. Even if they are found, they will not escape death."

When he said this, Ma Shengrong's expression was solemn, and he seemed to know more, but he didn't plan to say it at this stage, so as to temporarily make Chen Chi, a security guard, feel a sense of crisis.

"So the content of your shooting this time is to investigate the secret behind that incident?"

Ma Shengrong didn't expect Chen Chi to ask so directly, so he stopped in place for a moment and said, "This...not really, it's just that I have a little curiosity out of professional sensitivity, even if I have to investigate, I will go alone, you are in charge What matters is the safety of the team."

The corridors of the old-fashioned hotel were very narrow. When approaching, Chen Chi could smell the faint rancid smell of the producer.

This rancid smell is very special. It is not the stench emitted by rotting animals, but rather the smell that the forensic doctor inadvertently picked up during his work. It is not strong, and it is not so disgusting and contradictory.

Chen Chi seriously suspected that this person might be a participant in that incident back then, with many lives in his hands, and he might even be an apostle——

A single-player game does not mean that he is the only apostle in the game, but that he is the only player. The memory fragments about the "Suishen Festival" will become a secret realm, and they must be traces of the apostles' activities. They are mixed in the crowd just like themselves , will only show up at certain times.

"Understood, I will pay attention."

The current Chen Chi didn't have the capital to negotiate terms with the "boss", so he didn't say much. The two went downstairs together. A rural uncle with a vicissitudes of life was sitting in front of the counter, watching TV boredly.

Ma Shengrong didn't seem to want to talk to the other party, so he gave Chen Chi a look, and the latter understood, and took the initiative to ask.

"Boss, a face appeared outside our room just now, do you know what happened?"

"Human face?" The uncle didn't seem surprised, and he explained casually, "That may be a fool in the village. He likes to run around at night, and he climbed to the window to look at it because you are relatively unfamiliar. Don't worry, fools don't mess around. Chuang, if you're not used to it, just close the curtains."

This frank answer surprised Chen Chi. Although there were lizardmen, they were not supernatural beings. They were just super strong and could climb up to the third floor by stepping on the edge of the window sill... Isn't this a normal person?Why can he say so lightly?
Moreover, the hotel owner called Wajiang Town "village", which proves that he is an aborigine who has lived in the local area for a long time, and what he said to outsiders may not be credible.

"Can you take me to meet the fool?" Chen Chi asked.

"No." The uncle waved his hand, "The fool sleeps during the day and disappears at night. No one can find him. If you are really interested in him, then go to his house to ask during the day, as long as you can wake him up." .”
