The word "blood" blended smoothly into everyone's eyebrows—except Zhao Yijius.
At the moment when the strange incomprehensible words were placed on his forehead, a black pattern suddenly appeared, clashing with the blood words. The faint black energy briefly escaped, but soon solidified again.
In contrast, Xue Zi was knocked back by a palm due to the energy of the hedging, and almost collapsed.
Ren Yi cast an inquiring look at Guijiu. Guijiu was also stunned, as if he didn't react at the first moment, and then the corners of his mouth rose up into a strange smile.
He touched his forehead, and there was a cold feeling, but it was already hidden under his skin as he was used to it.
“I forgot, there is already a mark on this area, I'm afraid your **** words won't be able to get in.” He said and glanced at the culprit.
Yu Xing made eye contact with him and remembered it.
Previously, he used the power of a curse to leave a mark on Zhao Yijiu's forehead - in order to protect Zhao Yijiu's safety in the dungeon where the actor appeared.
As a result, the mark was not used for the time being, and he did not take it back.
Ren Yi is well-informed and he guessed something when he heard the words. He shook his head and said: "...it's okay, just move it a little bit."
The lonely character of blood finally melted into the back of Guijiu's head.
He closed his eyes and sensed it, confirming that the blood connection had been established. Ren Yi moved his mind and opened the blocked memories in the minds of the four people around him.
In an instant, Yu Xing's eyes were filled with fragments of memory that quickly passed by one after another. A memory that was not his own naturally appeared in his mind. He stood inside a strange inn from a first-person perspective.
The beginning of my memory is when he walked up to the counter and chatted with the shopkeeper in Ren Yi's voice.
The shopkeeper seemed to be muttering that the rooms were full today.
Looking out from the door, it was just starting to get dark.
Yu Xing's perspective followed the owner of this memory. Following the advice of the shopkeeper, he climbed up the stairs and went to the booked room on the second floor of the inn.
These are some very ordinary standard rooms in ancient inns. After opening the door, the first thing that comes into view is a low table placed in the center. There are cushions on both sides of the low table. This table seems to be for people to play chess. For tea tasting.
The bed is on the right side after opening the door, with brown curtains hanging on it, providing good privacy.
There is a shelf against the wall, with some worthless but exquisite-looking vases and folding fans sparsely placed.
The whole room exuded an elegance that a scholar would like. The window in the room was still open. It was a wooden lattice window that could only be pushed open half way. The sky outside the window was dark and gloomy. Looking out from the window, you could just see the outside. streets.
In just a short while, there were not many passers-by left.
In this memory, Yu Xing could not only see what Ren Yi saw, but also feel what Ren Yi was thinking. He turned around the whole room and finally closed the window that was constantly letting in the cold wind.
At this moment, the sky turned completely dark and the mission was triggered.
The task requires them, the residents, not to leave the inn no matter what. At the same time, a new task of "delivering water" is refreshed. It is said that the waiter of the previous inn died and the shopkeeper has not found a replacement, so the shopkeeper is willing to give the residents a discount and replace them with help. He went to each room to deliver tea.
This is optional for other residents, but for the deducers, it is a must-do under the mission.
Not long after he came up, he went downstairs again. This time, after talking to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper handed over the task of delivering water to him. Ren Yifen's task target was the three rooms at the end of the second floor. He walked up with the tray and observed as he walked. The contents of the tray.
The "water" to be delivered is actually a teapot container, only the size of a palm, with a tight lid, so you can't see what's inside.
Three rooms are three teapots. All he has to do is knock on the door, put the teapot in, and bring the things properly.
Ren Yi was very interested in the contents of the teapot, but the shopkeeper specifically told him not to open other customers' teapots. When he said this, the shopkeeper looked serious and weird, as if he would know if he violated what he said. Similar.
In the end, Ren Yi followed his heart and quietly lifted the lid of a teapot.
Suddenly, a fishy smell of blood hit my nose. The liquid inside was thick and cold, and it was completely the color of blood.
He immediately put the lid back on the tea, and the smell of blood immediately disappeared without a trace.
He thought that this teapot must be a special prop, otherwise there would be no way to cover up the smell to this extent.
This innkeeper actually wants to give "blood tea" to his guests? Putting aside the purpose of this, where do the raw materials for this blood tea come from...
Thinking of this, Ren Yi had already guessed the identity of the guest who received the tea, and became extremely wary and suspicious of the innkeeper.
He came to the innermost room on the second floor, knocked on the door and no one answered, so he opened the door directly.
As he expected, these three rooms were all empty. The rooms were clean and tidy, and it didn't look like anyone had been active at all. He placed the "tea" on the low table in the center of the room, and left in a very polite manner. .
When he returned the empty tray to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper asked him pointedly: "Are those customers easy to get along with?"
Ren Yi nodded: "Very good."
The innkeeper's eyes were fixed on his face, as if he wanted to find evidence that he was lying, but he probably couldn't guess that this man had facial paralysis and no expression at all.
After completing the water delivery task, the rules required Ren Yi to stay in his room and not to go out no matter what he heard.
He did hear various sounds coming from the corridor before ten o'clock. He clearly felt that there was no one there, but from time to time he heard "This tea tastes good", "I'm so tired", "My eyes seem to be falling off". ” and the like.
It is probably OK to scare ordinary people, but it is a bit childish for the deducers.
Just passing the time without any surprises, just after ten o'clock, the twelve night rules came out.
At the same time, there are also the area rules of the inn. Rule number one - when you hear clear footsteps coming from the corridor, immediately go to bed and pretend to be asleep.
Almost immediately after Ren Yi read the rules, he heard footsteps. In the dark room, the footsteps were creepy because it didn't sound like the sound of shoes stepping on the floor, but like the sound of something. It kept hitting the ground, making a muffled sound of "dong, dong".
Ren Yi weighed it up, chose to believe this rule, and hid in bed first.
Then, he heard the creak of the room door that he had locked with his own hands, and it was opened directly.
