Chapter 9 Rose Manor (8) Manor Breakfast


Chapter 9 Rose Manor (8) Manor Breakfast

Pretending to be someone who is thousands of miles away, but showing no defense in details?

Qisi’s eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Chang Xu said lightly: "This is the reward I got for completing the first dungeon perfectly."

It seems that certain props can be obtained in the dungeon and brought to other copies.

Qisi played with the [Destiny Pocket Watch] in his hand and smiled crookedly: "I'm envious, I'm envious. It's a time-related prop that matches this copy professionally."

Chang Xu didn't continue, two seconds later He stretched out his hand expressionlessly: "Give it back to me."

Qisi could only accept it and put the pocket watch that was still warm in his hand back into Chang Xu's hand.

The name sounds like a good thing, I really want it, but... Chang Xu looks like he can fight well.

Although this guy doesn't have any vigilance, as an old player, he is definitely not a fool who can easily take away items.

As if aware of Qisi's covetousness, Chang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at his right hand: "If I guess correctly, what you are wearing on your right hand is a weapon-like prop, which was rarer and more practical in the early stage."

"Is that so?" Qisi smiled politely, "Brother Chang has a good eye." He can see the hidden secrets of the bracelet at a glance.

When Chang Xu heard this, he was saying that he could tell where the props were at a glance.

He was not suspicious, nodded slightly, and went down the stairs.

Seeing Chang Xu's back disappear at the top of the stairs, the smile on Qisi's face faded.

The bracelet he wore on his right hand was customized by someone in real life, so it couldn't be related to the weird game. Why did Chang Xu think it was a prop? Could it be that...

Qisi remembered that from the time he entered the dungeon to now, no player except him had a weapon with him.

At first, he thought those players were as suspicious as him and liked to hide their weapons in dark places; now that he thought about it, there was another possibility that players could not carry their weapons in real life just like mobile phones and other electronic products. Come in.

Under normal circumstances, the only items that can be brought into the dungeon are the props obtained in the dungeon.

‘Just, what’s going on with my bracelet? Is there a bug in the game? ’

Ziss thought of countless possibilities, but now is not the time to think about these questions - without enough information, any judgment will only preset the answer, which is a waste of time.

He turned his head to look at Ye Zi beside him, and said with a smile: "Chang Xu's suspicion has been cleared away, so I have to ask you: Ye Zi, why do you think Shen Ming will not die? Is that right? Don’t you know something?”

Zi Zi crossed his arms in front of his chest and sneered: “How do you prove that you and Chang Xu are not in the same group? I was afraid that you didn’t want to clear his suspicions by singing a double act just now. Push it on me."

It was obvious that this was a slap in the face, Qisi tilted his head and smiled sincerely: "Oh, you discovered it, that's right, that's what you thought. What can you do to me? "

At this moment, he has already made a judgment: Ye Zi and Shen Ming have a high probability of knowing each other in reality.

In the initial self-introduction session, they pretended not to know each other and sang along. They were just preparing to control the discourse and mislead other players.

Unfortunately, Shen Ming died before their plan could be fully implemented.

Yi Zi observed Qisi’s expression and listened to his tone, knowing that the young man was a master of insularity, so he simply pursed his lips and said no more.

Information is the basis of the game. In a zero-sum game, any word may be a lie, and any fact may be intentionally hidden.

There is nothing wrong with anyone who lies. Being seen through is just because his skills are inferior to others, and there is nothing to whitewash.

It was getting late, and the players gathered around the long table on the first floor and took their seats one by one.

Even Lin Chen, who was scared to death, went downstairs before the bell rang again, carefully abiding by the rules on the system interface.

The absence of Shen Ming made the atmosphere less lively than yesterday evening. Ye Zi glanced at the empty seats from time to time. Lin Chen quickly realized what had happened, pursed his lips and said nothing.

The death of the most experienced veteran player among the six is ​​undoubtedly a bad warning. And the suspicion that is gradually growing among players is an even worse sign. Amidst the solemnity, the mechanical clock in the corner struck six times awkwardly.

Miss Anna, wearing a long black dress, walked out of the shadows, followed by a dummy-like butler.

Shi Shiran, a woman who was as thin as a ghost, walked to the main seat, sat down gracefully, and looked around at everyone with her lips curved, her eyes licking past them like half-rotted palm leaves after the rain.

While the butler was pushing the dining cart to arrange the table, her eyes lingered on Shen Ming's empty seat, then she covered her lips and smiled: "My lovely guests, I hope you had a pleasant evening. ”

The voice was very enthusiastic, like the polite words often spoken by hospitable hosts, but judging from the specific incident, it was full of schadenfreude.

Chis said abruptly: "It's indeed a pleasure. Thank you for your hospitality. I just don't know. Can I take the liberty of asking you a few questions?"

The other players were stunned for a moment, then raised their ears and listened attentively.

In the silence, Miss Anna nodded in greeting.

Chis asked directly: "Miss Anna, you like roses very much, don't you?"

"Yes, roses, I like roses." Miss Anna smiled and repeated, "In the world The most beautiful thing is a rose..."

"You like blooming roses and hate withered roses, don't you?"

There was a hint of sadness in Miss Anna's smile: "Yes, the rose is no longer beautiful when it withers... I love beauty and hate ugliness..."

"You once had a beautiful sister. Or sister, right? "

"Yes, I once had..." Miss Anna cut off the rest of the sentence as if she was being strangled by some invisible force. .

Her expression suddenly became panicked, like a shadow creature suddenly illuminated by the sun, full of confusion and resentment, muttering unintelligible words in her mouth.

NPC will not deceive players verbally, but can they not answer?

Qisi knew that he could not ask any more questions.

If any special event was triggered, he didn't know whether others would die. He felt that he would not survive.

The breakfast at the castle is relatively simple, with wheat bread, wine and apples, which is a very unpalatable way of eating for the players here.

Originally, because of the death and the chain of suspicion that surfaced, the atmosphere was stagnant and depressing. Coupled with what Qiss asked Miss Anna, this NPC always had a ferocious look on his face, and most of the players couldn't eat it.

Qiss has never been picky about his food. No matter how unpalatable the breakfast in the dungeon is, it is still better than the food he messes around with in reality.

He cut the bread into small pieces with a knife and fork, put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully. He occasionally picked up the wine glass and took a few sips, which was particularly leisurely.

Chang Xu, who was sitting opposite, was also eating meticulously, mouthing like a hamster without stopping. Maybe he really thought the breakfast in the manor tasted good.

The behavior of the two people undoubtedly had a good motivating effect, and everyone picked up their knives and forks and started playing.

As he finished his breakfast, Qis picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, then stuffed it into his pocket without leaving any trace.

He grabbed an apple, said "Sorry", then stood up and walked to the stairs, stood at the edge of the shadow, and winked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was on pins and needles, looking at Qisi's urging eyes, although he was still a little hesitant and apprehensive, he followed him after all.

Qisi walked ahead without saying a word, went up to the second floor, and stopped in front of the huge mechanical clock.

Presuming that the people downstairs could not hear him, he turned his head and stared into Lin Chen's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "There is one thing I forgot to tell you. There is a strange game Protection mechanism, after a certain number of players die, the remaining players can pass the level safely and get more rewards."

He relayed the information that Ye Zi said, and then sighed quietly. : "I suspect that among the five of us, some of us will try to assassinate others."

Military training in the morning, and coding while eating lunch at noon, so sleepy (if the logic is confusing and there are typos, the author is too sleepy) )
