Yu Tingbai pointed to the newspaper spread out on the table and asked, "Did you find anything wrong?"

An Qing leaned over to read it for a while, and found that the dates of those newspapers were irregular, but they had one thing in common—they all had photos of the entrance to the town.

Seems like... something is missing.

An Qing recalled carefully, and suddenly had an epiphany.

"One less line, where the dream begins!"

"Yes." Yu Tingbai nodded and motioned everyone to compare the photos, "The entrance to the town in the newspaper only has the words 'Dream Town', and there is no 'where the dream begins' as we saw. And we've deduced before that what's written in the newspapers is the truth."

Yu Tingbai paused for a moment when he said this, and did not explain all the reasoning process at once. It not only gave teammates the opportunity to think and perform, but also gave the audience time to react.

Soon, An Qing gave the answer, "So what we are experiencing now is just a dream?"

"To be precise, this is a dream created by the consciousness of the dead." Yu Tingbai explained, "Do you remember that legend, among the group of people who went to Wuling Mountain to pray for blessings, people with extremely strong obsessions, no matter how outrageous their wishes were. , will be realized.”

"Among the group of people who went to Wuling Mountain to pray for blessings on April 12, the person with the strongest obsession died on the way back, so her wish can only be presented in this way, perhaps because of obsession. It was too strong, and it trapped several other souls who were on the verge of life and death, that is, several other locals, and us as foreign tourists."

Wen Ling added: "In this way, why there are no other people in the town can also be explained. I speculate that we and the other survivors are only trapped in consciousness, maybe they have been rescued, but their bodies are still alive. in a coma."

An Qing thought.

In other words, this dream is the presentation of the wishes of the deceased?

She suddenly thought of those newspapers that contradicted the status quo, and suddenly realized: "That's why the reality we live in now doesn't match the newspapers. This is a world that has been tampered with by the will of the dead, and what is recorded in the newspapers is what happened in reality. things."

Yu Tingbai nodded: "I think so too."

There are seven people in the town, whose wish would this place be?

An Qing recalled in her mind what she had experienced in the past two days. But the amount of information she received recently was too large, like a mess, so she didn't know how to sort it out.

At this time, Wen Ling opened his mouth and suggested, "Why don't we substitute them one by one and try?"

Shen Siqi asked, "How to substitute?"

Yi Zhuo said: "For example, if this is Christine's wish, do you think it's true?"

If you look at it separately, the idea will be much clearer.

An Qing tried to substitute Christine's identity.

If she were Kristen, the town psychic, according to the newspaper description, she was very in love with her lover, Beth, and was in love. The two registered their marriage last month and live happily ever after. If such a person goes to pray for blessings, his wishes will probably only be of the type "to grow old with Beth" and "to have a healthy family".

Christine will never give Beth the title of a bed partner, nor will she betray Beth, so this must not be Christine's wish, and Beth is the same.

And Christine also gave them the opportunity to exchange their health for clues, which is obviously a positive role.

So she answered Yi Zhuo's question: "It doesn't work."

The thoughts of the others were similar to that of An Qing, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Shen Siqi had learned to draw inferences from one case and said, "In this way, Rosa is also not valid."

Despite the huge age difference, Rosa and Arthur are truly in love. As for the "one color, one money" rumor is even more nonsense, because Arthur is richer than Rosa.

So Rosa's wish should be similar to Christine's, instead of wishing that her husband will use crooked magic to stay young forever. As for Arthur, of course he wouldn't do such a thing.

Excluding the two families of Christine and Rosa, only the Nancy family is left.

In Nancy's family, none of the three are happy.

Husband, Cole, has a fiery temper, leading to a strained relationship throughout the family.

The Nancy family are all unfortunate people, and this strange situation is probably the wish of one of them.

Shen Siqi asked, "Is it Shirley's wish? After all, she insisted that their family is happy. Maybe this situation is what she wants?"

Yu Tingbai shook his head, "But if Xue Li's wish is family happiness, then she must have love for her husband. But if she is in love, she will directly make a wish for her husband to love her and treat her gently. But the situation here is clearly not in line with that.”

"Although Cole looks strong, he is actually very afraid of the fangs of his wife and daughter, and he doesn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary. So I don't think this is his wish."

Shirley and Cole are excluded, and only Nancy is left.

Yu Tingbai was not in a hurry, she cued An Qing who was sitting beside her, "If you are Nancy, your father is prone to domestic violence, and your mother is gentle and still has naive fantasies about this relationship, you ideally What will the world be like?"

The first thought that popped into An Qing's mind was, would he hope that his father would reform himself and treat his mother and himself well?

Thinking of Nancy's tit-for-tat appearance with Cole, she quickly denied it.

An Qing thought for a moment, and said unsurely, "I would want to take revenge on my father, but because my mother still has feelings for my father, Nancy did not directly get rid of her father, but chose to use overwhelming force to punish him and let him go. He was obedient to himself."

Although she couldn't fully empathize with Nancy's actions, Nancy's appearance was like this, so she should be inseparable.

Yu Tingbai nodded approvingly and asked, "What about her requirements for her mother?"

An Qing thought of Nancy's and Shirley's same fangs, and gradually followed her train of thought: "I hope that I and my mother can compete with my father, right? Shirley didn't say it before, there are man-eating monsters nearby, let him Nancy went home early. She probably used this story to scare Nancy, and in Nancy's subconscious, the image of 'fangs' was a very powerful representation of force, so it was presented in this way."

"But there is one thing I don't understand." After An Qing finished speaking, she blinked in confusion and frowned, "Why did Nancy wish for the misfortune of the other two families?"

She feels that the character of Nancy is not bad, not the kind of person who will drag others into the water if she is unhappy.

"Nancy did not wish other people's misfortune."

Yi Zhuo spoke suddenly and answered her question.

"Originally, there will only be their family in the illusion, but other dying souls are very fragile and trapped in it. When they enter Nancy's territory, they can only be presented as Nancy's heart."

Shen Siqi puzzled: "Are you saying that in Nancy's heart, the other two families are very unbearable? Why?"

Wen Ling said, "Because of Shirley."

"Nancy loves her mother deeply. In her world, her mother's words are true. Nancy may be very angry about Shirley's long-term domestic violence, and she still does not understand why her father treats her mother this way. Resist and love."

"In order to maintain the superficial harmony of the family and keep her husband, Shirley lied to Nancy by saying that all families are like this. They look happy, but in fact, each has its own misfortune. These rumors fabricated by Shirley have also become Nancy. The truth in my heart."

"Nancy built a world for Shirley, where there were only five out-of-towners in the car in the accident, the townspeople were safe, not involved in the accident, and lived as Shirley once said. . And she and Shirley both have enough self-defense ability to fight against the irascible father."

"But dreams are dreams after all, and there will always be bugs and flaws, such as Christine, such as newspapers, such as the words at the entrance of the town, and this has become the key to us solving the puzzle. Of course, we solved the mystery, then It's time for Nancy's dream to end."

After Wen Ling said these words, the expressions of several people were touched. For this sad story and for their hard work these days.

An Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly found that working with his teammates to finally achieve a certain goal felt really good. Probably this is the soul of the group.

Yu Tingbai spoke, interrupting her thoughts.

She said, "Captain, write the answer."

Wen Ling nodded: "Okay."

She turned on the watch and typed the word "Nancy" in the corresponding position of the drop-down menu.

[The identity of the deceased is "Nancy", is it confirmed? 】

Wen Ling clicked "Yes".

【Congratulations, you answered correctly. 】

[Your clearance time is 48 hours, 7 minutes and 25 seconds, which is 23 hours, 52 minutes and 35 seconds ahead of the specified time, and all teammates are alive, and you will get an S-level rating! 】

Several people read this line of words with happy expressions on their faces.

When each issue of "Ghost Town Survival" is cleared, the system will give a rating, the highest rating is S.

Although the difficulty of the game has been reduced a bit, they got the S rank for the first time playing, and they played very well.

Shen Siqi made a triumphant speech: "I think this variety show is very suitable for high-IQ players like us. Looking back now, it's nothing to be afraid of."

Yu Tingbai smiled, "Really, then let the captain help you apply for a permanent residence with the company?"

Shen Siqi hesitated for a second: "Forget it, we have to give other artists a chance to perform."

At this time, another prompt popped up on the watch:

[Please go to the Dream Town Screening Room to unlock the final plot. 】

It is followed by a line of address.

At this time, the director team also called. First, they congratulated them on their smooth customs clearance, and then said that after a while, they had arrived at the screening room, watched the plot, recorded a few testimonials, and today's recording task was completed.

The director's call was only a few minutes long, but it pulled them out of the heavy plot all at once.

Although the weather is still cloudy and the scenery along the way is still desolate, An Qing's mentality has completely changed at this moment. No matter what I see, I just feel novel and relaxed, and the feeling of fear at first is gone.

Shen Siqi jumped in front, next to Yi Zhuo and Wen Ling.

An Qing and Yu Tingbai walked behind the three of them.

The matter in front of her came to an end, and An Qing suddenly remembered the verbal contract between her and Yu Tingbai, and then gave a slight "chuck" in her heart.

It's over, it's been more than a month since the group was formed.

Recently, getting along with Yu Tingbai was too smooth, and she was busy with work, which made her forget to talk to Yu Tingbai about renewing the contract.

But they have already hugged and kissed, so they shouldn't be suddenly fired...

An Qing glanced at the people around her, feeling guilty for a while.

The radio microphone has been turned off, and the three people in front are chatting and laughing, and they are in full swing. She secretly chatted two private words, which should not be found.

So An Qing cleared her throat and was about to speak, when she heard someone around her ask her, "Is there any more sugar?"

"There are some." An Qing looked at Yu Tingbai's pale lips, knowing that she was uncomfortable again, and quickly took out a candy from her pocket.

While peeling off the candy wrapper, she took advantage of the emptiness and whispered, "Look at the boss, our contract... eh?"

The warm and unfamiliar touch made her words cut in half.

Yu Tingbai lowered his head and grabbed the candy on her fingertips.

Then she raised her head and took the candy away gently and skillfully.

"The 47th."

An Qing was stunned: "You..."

"I remember."

Ever since she knew that Yu Tingbai would occasionally suffer from low blood sugar, An Qing always kept her carefully selected delicious candies in her pocket, and would hand Yu Tingbai one from time to time.

Most of the time, Yu Tingbai just took it, ate it, and occasionally said "thank you" lightly. Unexpectedly, for so long in the past, the other party silently recorded the amount of those candies.

Unfamiliar emotions were surging in her chest, sour and sweet, so she didn't know how to react for a while. An Qing looked at those beautiful black eyes and murmured, "Then we, we..."

Holding her hand and gently clasping her fingers, Yu Tingbai turned to look at her, her eyes soft and the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"Gentle, every candy you give me can be exchanged for a lot of my time."
