Weird Talker

Chapter 378

Chapter 378

The narrow, long and deep alleyway can't be seen at a glance.

A dim street lamp that lights up every ten meters or so provides light to the alleyway.

"boom--"

Luo Chengyou's body fell between Shen Kai and Xu Tingfang, making a muffled sound.

When the two looked behind them, there was still a thick fog and darkness.

They are no strangers to this situation. It is the same as when they needed to clear the personal area before. If they did not clear the customs, they would not be allowed to leave.

"Mr. Shen Hai..."

Xu Tingfang cried out in a low voice.

Shen Kai didn't raise his head, but squatted down, carefully observing Luo Chengyou's body.

"Shall we... want to go in?" She looked at the deep alley in front of her with some fear.

Shen Shen didn't want to answer this nonsense question at all, his attention was all on Luo Chengyou's body.

Soon, Shen Kai saw some clues.

Undoubtedly, Luo Chengyou's death was tragic, but his death also leaked some information.

For example, he seemed to have been forcefully squeezed by something from both sides of his body, his shoulders collapsed and shattered, and his chest was folded vertically, like a mosquito that was slapped to death by clasped hands.

This kind of death, when connected with Jiuqu Lane, it is hard not to let Shen Kai suspect that Luo Chengyou was squeezed to death by this alley.

In other words, the width of this alley is not fixed, it will shrink.

Looking down, Shen Shi found some mucus on Luo Chengyou's hands, looked carefully, he recognized the mucus, it came from "frog eggs".

This phenomenon shows that Luo Chengyou had been in contact with "frog eggs" before his death, but the strange thing is that his death had nothing to do with "frog eggs". He died cleanly, with no "frog eggs" attached to his neck.

Obviously touched it, but it was not infected...

Shen Ke narrowed his eyes slightly.

He stood up and looked at the rules card.

[Notes to Passengers. 】

[Ahead, Jiuqu Lane, Sick Village. 】

[Jiuqu Lane does not need to be disinfected, it is dangerous. 】

[Entering the Jiuqu Lane area, please strictly abide by the following rules. 】

【Don't touch the wall. 】

[Once you enter, you can't stop. 】

【Do not look back. 】

[If you find the correct path, you can leave the Jiuqu Lane area. 】

[Jiuqu Lane has no rest time, and you can reach the sick village nursing home through it. 】

Ok?

There are not many rules in Jiuqu Lane.

If you look closely, there are actually only three.

【Don't touch the wall. 】

[Once you enter, you can't stop. 】

【Do not look back. 】

Shen Kai didn't step into Jiuqu Lane in a hurry, he stared at these three rules, thinking about possible traps and ways to survive.

First, don't touch the walls.

touch?

not touch?

Strictly speaking, touching is an active behavior, while touching can be passive.

Moreover, the meaning of touch is not vague, it specifically refers to "touching and touching with hands".

Contact with any other part of the body cannot be called "touching".

In other words, just don't touch the wall with your hands.

But why?

You can't touch the wall with your hands, but what about other parts of your body?

In Shen Li's view, if there is no prohibition, it is feasible.

Luo Chengyou's corpse reminded him of a possibility. The rule states [Don't touch the wall]. Most players will subconsciously think that the wall cannot be touched because of this rule.

But Shen Kai felt that he should touch it, as long as he didn't touch it with his hands.

Come to think of it, Luo Chengyou, like most people, subconsciously believes that walls cannot be touched.

As for the second rule.

[Once you enter, you can't stop].

If the rules are from the standpoint of human beings, the meaning of "can't stop" is likely to mean that once stopped, extremely dire consequences will occur.

But if the rules are from the standpoint of ghosts, the meaning of "can't stop" may mean that once you stop, you will discover the secret of this alley.

Not sure yet.

Shenke skipped this one, after all, it just asked the player not to stop.

And Shen Ke would not stop at all, he would go to the end.

As for the third article.

Simple and clear four words, 【Don't look back】.

This is very common, also in folklore.

For example, there are three fires on a person's body, one on each of his shoulders and one on his head. During the day, the yang energy is strong and the fire is strong, so evil spirits dare not approach them. The three fires will also weaken accordingly.

In the middle of the night, if you turn your head while walking, you will extinguish the yang fire on your shoulders, and when the yang energy weakens, you will be easily entangled by evil spirits.

But in this alley, the meaning of not looking back is obviously not the same as folklore.

Because when Luo Chengyou entered this alley, it was still daytime.

It's interesting, the rules of Jiuqu Lane are very ambiguous.

It doesn't seem to be completely on the player's side.

Maybe not being allowed to look back is protecting the player, but it may also be harming the player, for example, you can see the truth and discover the secret of this alley once you turn around.

Shen Kai subconsciously wanted to rub the pocket watch, and when he touched it for a while, he suddenly realized that the pocket watch was "given" away.

"Miss Xu, I have..."

Shen Ke tilted his head, and was about to say something to Xu Tingfang, but found that there was nothing but a thick fog around him.

What about her?

No fool would walk into the fog at this time, did he go in?

Shen Ke looked towards this alleyway.

I did think more deeply just now, has she already gone in?

----

【Don't touch the wall. 】

[Once you enter, you can't stop. 】

【Do not look back. 】

Xu Tingfang firmly memorized the three main taboos, but when she looked sideways, she suddenly realized that Shen Kai was gone!

"Mr. Shen?"

"Mr. Shen!"

Xu Tingfang panicked.

Did Mr. Shen leave me and go in first?

Do not……

and many more!

After chasing in now, he should be able to catch up with Shen Kai!

Anyway, you have to go in. The rules of this sign say that as long as you clear Jiuqu Lane, you can directly reach the nursing home.

Xu Tingfang glanced at the rules again, confirmed that she remembered correctly, and rushed into Jiuqu Lane.

hiss……

The moment she stepped into Jiuqu Lane, she felt the temperature drop suddenly.

But it's normal, after all, this village is full of weirdness everywhere.

She stabilized her mind and was about to continue running when she suddenly heard a cry from behind:

"Miss Xu? Are you not waiting for me?"

It's the sound of sinking!

Xu Tingfang stopped, but suddenly realized that he couldn't stop, and hurriedly continued to walk, and then replied: "Mr. Shen Shi! I didn't see you just now, I thought you had already come in, where did you go just now?"

"I went into the fog to pick up the scarf, didn't you see me?" Shen Shen's voice was a little puzzled.

"Ah...that's it, I'm sorry, I didn't notice," Xu Tingfang's heart skipped a beat, and she realized that something was wrong.

Shen Kai is not a person who can pick up scarves.

"You come out first, the rules are still doubtful, don't be impulsive." Shen Kai said.

"But... I can't turn back!" Xu Tingfang said.

"It doesn't matter, looking back and turning around are two different things, just don't turn your neck, come back quickly, fortunately you haven't gone deep into the alley yet." Shen Kai continued.

Turn back and turn around?

Xu Tingfang's eyes lit up, maybe... you can try?
