Chapter 10 Unknown Sacrifice
“Does this look like a cult sacrifice?”
The veteran player Bude understood the true meaning of this scene at a glance. In some horror and supernatural games, similar scenes are not uncommon. These cultists are often the culprits of strange happenings.
Cultists like to use human beings as sacrifices, tie them to chairs, and then kill them during the ritual.
The scene retains the appearance of the first scene.
Bude stepped forward and shook the chair, but it didn't move at all. Kneel down and look, and you'll find that the chair legs are fixed to the ground with nails.
Although this scene gives people a sense of horror and curiosity, the sense of fear has been reduced a lot. After all, cultists are still human beings.
"Could it be that cultists held rituals and summoned ghosts?" Anderson tried to explain the origin of ghosts.
Bud confirmed his conjecture: "It's very possible. But how to explain the nailed corpses in other rooms?"
Anderson: "They are also part of this sacrificial ceremony. ?”
Bud looked at him with admiration: "That makes sense. I can't tell that your mind is spinning very fast."
The strong blond man showed an embarrassed smile: "I usually also play some reasoning games. "
Edith: "You said that the victims of sacrifice will not be us death row prisoners, right?"
This sentence silenced Bude and Anderson. Budmo rubbed his chin: "Probably not. If it is to sacrifice us here, there is no need to put collars on us for seven days of survival."
While they were discussing, Wei Miao Zai observed the magic circle carefully. As Bude said, this is a typical sacrificial scene. There are stains of blood on the back of the chair, which have become dark red and black.
But judging from the blood layer, it is not solidified layer by layer, or covering each other. In other words, repeated sacrifices do not exist.
According to Bude, many batches of death row prisoners have arrived. If they were all really sacrificed, the distribution of blood would not be so harmonious.
But something weird is that the blood stains on the back of the chair are gathered on the surface of the two rear chair legs, winding down from the top, and just in line with the lines of the magic circle at the bottom.
This situation... Wei Miao thought about it for a moment. It should be that the person's hands were tied to two pillars on the back of the chair, and then the blood was bled by cutting the wrists or something like that.
In short, the scene at that time must be linked to blood.
Apart from this magic circle, there is nothing worth paying attention to in the room.
It was getting late and the sky was turning toward evening. The four of them hurriedly left the seventh floor. When they returned to the third floor, they were relieved from the strange and eerie pressure, and they felt much more relaxed.
After dinner, Wei Miao returned to 306. In front of the shower mirror, she saw the metal collar around her neck.
Countdown 5:14:36.
It seems that there is still a lot of time, but the continuous movement of the countdown makes the passage of life visible, and a sense of urgency arises.
Lying flat on the bed, Wei Miao was sorting out her thoughts.
The clues on the seventh floor are the key at present. It should be said that all the weird things are concentrated on the seventh floor, and the other floors are just confusing options. The currently available uncertain information is:
1. Ghost activities are period-specific, roughly between 0:00 and 1:00. The location at other times is unknown. . It has caused major massacres and is suspected to have been restricted.
But what considerations did the people who took over later retain the ceremony venue on the seventh floor after cleaning up the scene, and use the hotel as a play place for death row prisoners?
2. The twelve corpses in rooms 701 to 712 were ritually disposed of, which is suspected to be related to the sacrifice in room 713. Judging from their clothing, combined with the information Bude provided when he first arrived on the first day, they may be previous hotel guests who died in an unknown massacre.
3. The ghost may move in a physical form, with sharp beast-like claws, and make a loud and dull sound when walking. From this point of view, it seems that this ghost is more similar to a monster?
4. Room 713 is special. Not only because of the sacrificial rituals involved, but also because there are almost no traces of ghosts entering this room, and there are a lot of traces of ghosts opening the doors on the door handles from 701 to 712. However, there is another explanation. The ghost stays in 713 before going out for activities, does not close the door when going out, and then closes the door when returning to 713.
But there is a problem with this explanation. If the ghost stayed in 713 the rest of the time, they saw no trace of the ghost when they entered. Moreover, Wei Miao recalled the condition of the door of 713. There were no scratches on the door handle inside, indicating that the ghost did not open the door from the inside.
In other words, ghosts basically don’t touch this door. So where do ghosts stay the rest of the time? Do they only appear in hotels during certain times?
The weird behavior of the ghost last night and the layout of the seventh floor made Wei Miao have some vague and bold guesses, but she needed some verification.
If there is anyone who knows this hotel best, it must be the manager who lives on the first floor, Pizza.
Wei Miao found that they all subconsciously ignored the administrator. As the only living NPC in the hotel, he was of immeasurable value to the players, but his bad attitude at the beginning made the players Their favorability towards him plummeted and they stayed away.
Wei Miao quietly went out and went down to the first floor.
Pizza is sitting in front of the counter, holding a cigarette and expressionless. Look at the way you hold your phone, you're playing a game.
Wei Miao didn't cover her steps and walked forward naturally, using her height to catch a glimpse of his mobile phone screen.
It seems to be a 2D side-scrolling fighting game that requires operational skills. Following a sudden slash from his opponent, Pisa's character fell to the ground with only a trace of blood remaining, and the screen turned gray.
Pisa couldn't see any frustration. He put down the phone calmly and stared at her with sharp blue eyes: "What's the matter?"
Wei Miao endured the smell of smoke and smiled gently. Said: "Sorry to bother you, I have something to ask you."
Pisa replied with an unrelated question: "Can you play fighting games?"
Wei Miao was stunned: "I know a little bit."
Pizza took out another mobile phone from the counter drawer and said neatly: "I was playing a game called 'Infinite Death Match' recently, and you matched with me. If you win the battle, I will answer a question for you depending on your mood without violating the rules. Of course, I will not answer those core sensitive questions, and the question will be invalid."
Wei Miao realized that this. May be the only safe way to obtain information that copy provides them.
There is a sentence written on the official website: "If you want to stand out in "Masquerade", you'd better turn yourself into an almighty superman; or cooperate with your teammates and use their respective expertise to obtain the results that only you can The information you get is based on what you need.”
The test to be passed this time is actually FTG game ability, which is a bit outrageous and a bit reasonable at the same time.
