Isolated Island (9)

The Days I Clear Escape Games Pretending to be an NPCCh76 - Isolated Island (9)

The little girl within the group of players approached the head of the corpse and looked at its open mouth while using a small wooden stick to poke it a little, "A full set of dentures. If you were to calculate based on the lowest price, that is, three hundred to five hundred per piece, for an adult with 28 to 32 teeth..."

She did not finish what she was about to say, but there was also no need to say it. GTlBYD

The chubby woman was dressed like a fisherman, and her clothes were of the worse quality. Would this kind of person be willing to replace her missing teeth with a complete set of dentures?

The little girl's sharp eyes swept over the others.

Everyone present was out of sync with this world, whether a player or an NPC. This was not a regular supernatural instance.

"Is this a live snuff film?" The glasses girl guessed. Brainwash a group of people, then throw them into a harsh environment and let them kill each other for the amusement of certain people. She had experienced this kind of instance before. phcmAW

"It may also be a comic drawn by someone. The artist might not have been skilled enough to build a logical world," the little girl said coldly.

Among the five people in the room, the middle-aged man and Ren Yifei were both confused and unable to understand what they were talking about. The unusually calm trio were all players.

Hidden enemies, incomprehensible tactics and a high level of difficulty— the three players were probably hesitating on whether to cooperate or not as they continued to exchange glances.

Death comes inexplicably in a supernatural instance, and they only have one life, so it must be kept safe first.

"What live film and comic?" The middle-aged man at the door looked at everyone's reaction and felt that something was wrong. Why were these people's reactions so calm and even slightly bizarre? Were they not afraid?

"Are you guys exorcists? Or maybe Taoists?" Ren Yifei had already gotten up from the ground, still holding the useless phone in his hand as he looked at the three of them in a different light.

"Do you know what's going on?"

All three players glanced at him and turned back the next second. fOzdgw

Ren Yifei took a deep breath, "Hey, if I say that I can see certain things... can you guys help?"

Saman's expression hardened for a moment, and he looked at Ren Yifei meaningfully.

The glasses girl did not speak. Only the little girl looked at him for a while and said coldly in a childish voice, "I can't help you, but if you are willing to listen to my orders, you may have a chance."

After thinking for a few seconds, Ren Yifei asked, "What orders?" BYcOfW

The little girl was also wondering to herself, could this NPC be useful?

It was still raining heavily outside, the atmosphere was tense inside, and none of the three players was moving.

The glasses girl stepped back and crossed her arms over her chest defensively, Saman motionlessly scrutinised him, and the little girl seemed to be in contemplation.

At this time, there was an even larger commotion outside. Many people were running through the rain in a panic and bumping into trees. Looking at the direction where they ran from, they seem to be refugees from the opposite cabin. TdAXtx

Ren Yifei's ears twitched, and with his enhanced hearing, he faintly heard people shouting 'Dead!' and 'There are ghosts, there are ghosts!'.

The middle-aged man, who was more curious than a cat, opened the door slightly and shouted outside, "What's the matter?"

There was a trace of nervousness in his tone, mixed with a certain curiosity of someone who wants to eat melons.

The man at the door caught a screaming islander and asked about the situation.

"Someone died! There's a ghost!" The person who was caught frantically tried to escape and ran into the rain. Judging by his direction, he seemed to be running down the mountain.

The manor's staff tried to get them to return but were seen as having ill intentions.

"Come back. They have made their choice," the owner of the manor came out and called back all of her employees.

It was hard to determine how many people had run away, but there must have been hundreds of them. Only a few saw how treacherous the environment was outside and was forced to calm down and return.

Through the people who came back, they finally learned what was going on.

It turned out that a horrible incident had also occurred in those houses. Someone sitting perfectly fine one second but drowned the next, and another person appeared to have been smashed by a heavy object, causing their back to directly collapse and die on the spot.

The refugees had just escaped with their lives, and because of this, they treated everyone as an enemy. Therefore, when they saw those scenes, their psyche immediately collapsed, and they directly ran out, unable to accept the situation.

Turning his head to look down at the skeleton in the water baring its teeth at him, Ren Yifei was in a complicated mood: So it turns out that you're a ferocious existence? 4asZbt

When the NPCs entered through the door, they also brought in water from outside through their soaked bodies. One of them was even lying on the ground, completely drenched, and they could see how the thing was coming out of the wet clothes.

Ren Yifei shivered because he was also drenched in water, so much so that water had started to accumulate in his waterproof suit, causing him to sway every time he took a step.

'Whoosh', the skeleton quietly stretched out a boney hand, and its nails scratched on the ground beside him. Ren Yifei glanced down and stepped on the hand with his foot.

He looked at the little girl again, and despite his pale face, he pretended to be calm, "Tell me about your conditions." WNj7wU

"Obey me unconditionally," the little girl said indifferently, "Maybe then you'll survive." NPCs are consumable tools for players, and only newcomers would naively think that NPCs were the same as them.

"That's impossible. Are you asking me to go kill myself?" Ren Yifei asked bluntly.

"I only accept this condition," the little girl replied and stopped looking at him. A clever little NPC, even if this one dies, there will be others to replace him.

He was a little disappointed and resentful, but he put away all of his frustration and clenched his jaw, "If you don't help, then I'll do it myself. There's always a way." Nmdfkv

Ren Yifei glanced at them and wordlessly walked out with the stubbornness and naivety of a young man.

Saman frowned and looked at him silently.

Yes?

No? dqtUBf

"Something is following me..."

More and more NPCs were frightened by the horrifying incident and fled from the room in a panic. They were too afraid of the storm to go down the mountain, but they didn't dare to enter the house either. They just stood there on the open platform in indescribable despair as their tears mixed with the rain.

"Boom!" A golden snake streaked crossed the sky, and everyone in the yard screamed in fright, almost falling limply to the ground.

"Calm down!" Ren Yifei also went out and stood under the eaves. His face was pale, but he still held his body up, "Come back, go to a place where there's no rain, don't touch the water!" XIhFoJ

Without the glass tank to block him, his voice was able to reach those people through the rain.

Ren Yifei turned his head and glanced at the indifferent trio of players. Then he looked at the owner of the manor, who was standing under the eaves watching coldly on the side.

No one could save them except themselves.

He shouted again at the panicked crowd in the rain, "Actually, I'm the same as you. Do you... see a rotting corpse? The one only you can see? qaFdHU

His trembling voice got a little louder, "Water is their medium! As long as you don't touch the water, they can't touch you either!"

"There's no other way, so why don't you trust me this one time?"

His eyes were red; it was unknown if it was from the rain or tears. "Please, come back quickly!"

Apart from the sound of the wind, rain and screams, his voice was the loudest. Some people listened to his words and ran over under the eaves or into the mushroom house. eznRGZ

"Take off your wet clothes and wring them out! Wipe the water off your body!"

The people who ran in began to undress, and the water wrung onto the floor started to form small puddles.

The cowardly and curious middle-aged man hurriedly brought them towels, "Come, come, dry yourself."

The hideously deformed corpse was still in the middle of the room, and the floor was still covered in blood. The crowd did not dare to approach it and were all slinging to the wall, waiting for Ren Yifei to speak. lEPsNG

"Who's going to move 'it' with me? I saw two mops in the corner. Can one of you please clean up the water... and after that."

Ren Yifei grabbed both arms of the deceased on the ground by himself while giving instructions to the group of anxious islanders. What you do, what I do and what they do were all clearly arranged.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

This group of people were like green-headed house flies who were lost, panicked and confused, so when Ren Yifei gave them clear instructions, they instead immediately calmed down.

It was useless to overthink; let's just listen to him first. 7YsRhq

So they all began wringing their clothes and mopping the floor, and although the scene was still chaotic, it was much better than before.

"This NPC is a bit interesting," the glasses girl muttered to herself. Players can do things like crowd control, and NPCs can do them too. Whether it's an NPC or a player depends on what he will do next.

Black Rabbit?

If it was him, he would not have jumped out at a time like this and attracted everyone's attention; it was not like him. LuSUwY

The little girl stood in the corner with her back against the wall, taking in everything with her eyes. She was also a little surprised but not particularly suspicious. Judging by the series of actions taken by the NPC just now, the NPC seemed to be just that type of person, so it was unexpected for him to do such a thing.

Of course, he should still be observed. It was because these types of people who are a bit 'reckless' would have some shortcomings in controlling people due to letting their emotions blind them.

All NPCs were her suspects.

"I'll help," Saman grabbed the legs of the deceased at the other end and smiled faintly at Ren Yifei. r3LDRl

Ren Yifei's arm shook violently, not because the body was heavy, but because of fear. He was so scared that his face was bloodless and his teeth were chattering; however, he still held on.

He snorted when he saw Saman's face, but he did not reject the offer to move the body together.

The two worked together to move the dead to a corner of the corridor outside.

Ren Yifei still felt a little creeped out when he looked at the deceased, so he took a dirty bath towel from inside to cover them. No longer having to look at the dead body, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became more relaxed. pSVdDq

Saman was watching him but could not find anything unusual.

Several other cabins also began their self-rescue operation. Ren Yifei was very loud before, so they heard his commands and did the same by wiping the floor and avoiding water.

"What should I do? There's no signal at the moment, and no one can be found," after everything was over, Ren Yifei stayed far away from the body, "Hey, when the rain stops tomorrow, let's take her down the mountain. I don't know if she has any family."

The rain was heavy and the eaves of the mushroom house could not stop the rain from being blown inside. Ren Yifei raised his left hand to wipe the raindrops off his face. frVgy6

Saman noticed a callus on the side of his left middle finger: Left-handed.

"I haven't asked yet," Saman turned to ask, "But is this little brother a local?"

Chrysanthemum Garden.

"En," Ren Yifei nodded, "I'm Gu Xingye, a local. How about you? Exorcist."

Saman smiled, staring at Ren Yifei's face to observe the slightest reactions, "I'm Song Wei, a tourist. I came to have fun but didn't expect this kind of weather. Is your place an 'isolated island'?" vgk Am

Ren Yifei's heart beat twice as fast.

Isolated Island.

The keyword for this instance was 'Isolated Island'.

Ren Yifei thought about it for a while and lightly shook his head, "No, we have several islets and reefs here; why do you ask that?" LqJP6v

Saman smiled, "Just curious."

He did not show any abnormal reaction when he heard 'isolated island', his eyes would glance down to the side when he was thinking, and the subtle action of shaking his head indicated that 'he was telling the truth'. He does not resemble a player, however...

Saman thought of the blind youth and the white-robed demon. He had also thought that they were not at first.

"Is there something wrong with the island?" Ren Yifei asked him in turn, "Are those two with you?" d0j5wt

He was referring to Saman's trio, which included the glasses girl and the little girl.

"No, I don't know them, and I'm not a professional. I just like to study these things, so I can't help you," Saman seemed to be explaining why he did not come forward earlier.

Ren Yifei pouted and reluctantly believed his words.

There were a lot of things going on previously, but now that he had time to breathe, Ren Yifei found that Saman's voice was a little familiar. xObkrH

Was it from the broadcast? Although the voice became a little distorted over the broadcast, he was sure of it.

The dessert player did a good deed without leaving his name?

Saman had been observing Ren Yifei, taking in all of his vivid expressions to establish a file to draw an accurate emotional baseline. He continued, "I'm now travelling around and collecting for local legends or something like that. Do you know any legends here?"

Ren Yifei thought about it again and shook his head, "Maybe there is, but I'm not sure. You can ask an elder if you meet them later; they might know." EqewIV

"Achoo!" Ren Yifei sneezed and was about to wipe his nose with his hands when he suddenly remembered that he had just touched a corpse.

Saman saw it and said, "It's raining too much. Let's go in."

Ren Yifei shook the water that had accumulated in the lower part of his trousers and looked at the rain outside. With a bit of helplessness and confusion in his voice, he said, "I'll change my clothes first. It's completely soaked."
