Chapter 354 Sacrifice Song and Castle 2
As expected, they were indeed not together. This time only Qin Juan and Ye Xiaoxiao stayed. The others went to other parallel dimensions, but the tasks they performed were the same.
When he sat down, Shi Yi's eyes rested on Qin Juan for a few seconds, and finally he slowly looked back when he was about to look over.
Because she was the last one to arrive, many people quietly complained about the delay. All these noises disappeared silently with the appearance of the NPC.
The person who came was a beautiful woman in a dark purple dress. She seemed to be the owner of this place. Behind her were two girls in maid outfits. They lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads.
This made them think that they had traveled through time and arrived at an old English castle with many rules.
The hostess had a smile on her face, but her eyes were as dead and unmoved as a dead fish. Her voice was cold but her enthusiasm remained unchanged.
"I have kept you waiting for a long time. You are welcome to come to my concert, but you are here a little early. The concert will not start in ten days. If you don't mind, you can stay here first."
The opening sentence of each NPC introduces their identity and purpose this time, with some subtle clues mixed in.
The hostess seemed particularly enthusiastic: "You guys haven't had breakfast yet, why don't we come together."
It was hard for them to refuse a warm invitation from an important NPC.
The restaurant here is relatively long. The hostess is sitting at the main seat on the left. There are twenty players in total. After sitting down, there are still many empty seats.
The rules of eating here are the same as in most other places: eat without talking or sleep without speaking. When the meal started, the hostess suppressed her smile and said nothing.
Breakfast is very simple, a sandwich the size of an adult man's palm and milk.
After dinner, the hostess called the butler, who was over 50 years old, to show them around the first floor. There were so many rooms here that when they looked at them one by one, they were as confused as headless flies.
After finally resting for a while, some players secretly looked around again, and suddenly someone asked: "Excuse me, where did the wife just now go?"
The words were direct, but the housekeeper didn't pay attention. He chuckled: "Madam practices singing on the top floor every afternoon. If you have nothing to do, it's best not to disturb her."
This castle has a total of five floors. It seems that the fifth floor is inaccessible, but according to their experience, the more inaccessible places there are, the more clues there are, but the corresponding dangers are also greater.
When everything was almost over, the housekeeper stepped back and left, saying that if anything happened he would come find him.
However, most people didn't take this to heart, because as long as the NPC is out of sight of the player, if they don't tell them, they won't know where they are.
When they were the only ones left in the living room, they instantly relaxed a lot.
A player picked up the water that the maid put on the table, took a sip and said, "There's no need to think about it. There must be something wrong with the song that the mistress practiced. Maybe it was the ghost festival song."
"But it's still a festival song, so there must be dead people, so this time we're dealing with ghosts again???"
This time, I was lucky enough not to encounter any newbies among the players. We were all veteran players and we didn’t get upset and agitated while listening to the newcomers’ cries.
Because they have experienced a lot, they don’t have much reaction when hearing about ghosts and the like.
"This castle looks like it has been around for thousands of years. There might not be anyone alive here."
Many players have experienced top-level bosses, but it's a little scary to see them all in one room.
Some players worried: "There must be hundreds of guards guarding outside. If they don't show up by then, wouldn't we all be doomed?" (End of Chapter)
