Chapter 16 Rose Manor (15) One o'clock in the afternoon


Chapter 16 Rose Manor (15) 1 pm

“The most brilliant game is to stay behind the scenes, to observe, to spy, and to collect the most information while everyone is unaware.”
< br>"Sister Zou, this is not your second time entering the dungeon, is it? Such props are not something that a newcomer can get. Are you a veteran who has spent points to designate a dungeon?"

After time goes back, No. 1 In the guest room, Zou Yan looked at Ye Zi with a smile: "You are not simple, are you? Both Zou and Shen Ming are 'Xila' people, aren't they?"

In the word "Xila" The moment he exited, Ye Zi's eyes widened and he truly lost his composure for the first time since entering the dungeon.

She opened her mouth and asked with a fake smile: "Sister Zou, how did you see it? Can you tell me?"

The smile on Zou Yan's lips became thicker, but she sighed: "He doesn't Let me tell you, you didn’t even take the initiative to understand. I’m afraid you still don’t know what ‘teaming’ means in this game, right?”

Zi Zi remembered that before entering the game, Shen Ming Qian warned Wan. He asked her not to reveal that they knew each other.

She only thought it was for singing a double act, so after learning about Zou Yan's intention to cooperate, she immediately used Shen Ming as a bargaining chip.

Could it be...

"It's so funny. They are obviously the same person, but they play a different role in front of the other person. They all think that the other person is some idiot who is easy to control and easy to take advantage of."

Zou Yan chuckled, suddenly gentle He took Ye Zi's right hand and gently pressed her little finger.

On the originally smooth and white knuckles of the leaf, a black ring slowly appeared. A decorative butterfly was embossed on the surface, and it looked like the English letter "S".

Zou Yan took off the girl's black ring, but the latter was unable to move during the process. She could only spit out a "ho ho" sound from her throat with dizzy eyes.

A loud bell sounded outside the door, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.

Zou Yan tilted her head to look at the fear in Ye Zi's eyes, then smiled and put her hand on her neck:

"God will not bless you."

...

"Shen Ming is from the Xi La Guild, Liu Qingye and Shen Ming know each other, I suspect she is too." Chang Xu stretched out his hand to push aside the vines in front of him, his voice was as light as lake water.

On the third floor of the castle, black and green plant tentacles broke out from the four corners of the floor, climbing on the gray and black walls in a reptile manner.

Thick plants show vigorous vitality, growing to the ceiling at a speed visible to the naked eye, and hanging down from top to the ground, sealing off the space of the entire floor.

Chiss tried to use a blade to draw a line on a vine that was as thin as a finger. Green juice splashed onto his face, quickly condensing into fluffy tentacles and burrowing into his flesh.

He raised his hand to tear it, but he tore off a small layer of skin along with it.

“This vine is a bit interesting, isn’t it a device that can parasitize the human body?” Qisi put away the blade and, like Chang Xu, used his hands to open a path that could barely pass through. “ ...How do you know that Shen Ming is from the Xiela Guild?”

He didn’t know what the “Xila Guild” was, but judging from Chang Xu’s matter-of-fact tone, this guild should be very famous. The kind that veteran players will definitely know.

Chang Xu stopped, took out something like a ring from his arms, and showed it to Qisi.

It was a black ring, simple in style, with a black butterfly twisted into the letter "S" inlaid on the surface.

“This is what I found on Shen Ming, their token.” Chang Xu said, “The Xiela Guild’s research on weird games is very advanced, and it can already make some props that can be brought into the game. . The effect of a ring like this is to increase the probability that two people will enter the same dungeon."

Can the Xila Guild... be able to create its own props?

Qisi’s eyes flashed slightly and he gently touched the bracelet on his right wrist.

Seemingly sensing the curiosity of his temporary teammates, Chang Xu said calmly: "If you are interested in this information, you can check it out on the forum yourself. Basically all the information that can be disclosed is on it."

He Thinking of something, he added: "The Silas Guild has done many evil things, and now it is the target of public criticism. It is being encircled and suppressed by various forces in the game and in reality. It is only a matter of time before it is uprooted."
< br>...Are you afraid that I will join the so-called "Sela Guild"?

Qisi, fearing that the world would be in chaos, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chang Xu: "It seems that Shen Ming's death has nothing to do with Brother Chang, right?"

Chang Xu She glanced at him doubtfully: "What does it have to do with it?"

"...It's boring."

The door was closed behind the vines, and the rusty keyhole was filled with dust.

Qisi took a step forward, pulled out a thin wire from the bracelet, inserted it into the keyhole and fiddled with it.

A few seconds later, there was a "click" and the door lock opened.

Watching all this, Chang Xu looked suspicious: Do you call this a taxidermist? "My father is a locksmith and I learned from him as a child."

Qisi put away the wire, took a step back, and smiled at Chang Xu: "Brother Chang, I have some mysophobia, please be considerate."

Chang Xu looked at the thick accumulation of The gray door handle didn't raise much suspicion, so he pushed the door open and entered.

Qisi waited leisurely for two seconds. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he followed up slowly.

The room in front of me seems to have been visited by no one for a long time. As the visitor steps in, dust comes from the sky, accompanied by a decaying atmosphere called "old time".

There was a large bed in the middle of the room, covered with an unfolded quilt, which had already fallen into a thick layer of dust. It can be seen from the bumps on the surface that there are two people lying underneath.

Qisi took a step forward and lifted the quilt.

Under the quilt, two skeletons were lying side by side on the bed. The bones were so dense that it made people feel chilly.

The boundary between reality and games blurred in front of his eyes for a moment, and countless memories that should have been deliberately forgotten surged in his mind.

First the red dress under the sheets, and then the skeleton under the quilt... I have to say, Miss Anna's aesthetics are surprisingly consistent with his...

After a long silence, Qisi laughed lowly: "These two should be Miss Anna's parents."

Chang Xu looked at the white skeleton, and the hair on the back of his neck felt a little hairy, and he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know?"

The smile on Qisi's face did not diminish: "I said I guessed it, do you believe it?"

Death is inevitable, the dead disappear silently, the only way is to live. People find it difficult to accept this, so they use various means to preserve the remains of the deceased in vain, pretending to be self-deceptive and allowing them to remain in the state of their lives as a souvenir.

——This is what taxidermy is all about.

Qisi straightened up and looked down at the skeleton lying quietly on the bed.

Two seconds later, he gently reached under the pillow where the skeleton was resting, and sure enough he touched a few pieces of paper.

Pinching it with two fingers, he pulled out the piece of paper, and there were lines of text written on it.

......

[Anna and Anne were born at the same time. According to ancient legends, one of the twins was born with a curse. We don’t believe this, they are our favorite daughters, and we just want them to grow up happily. 】

...

[Anna is always so obedient, but Annie always has all kinds of weird ideas, which is really a headache]

......

[Anna is getting more and more The more beautiful she is, the more perfect she is, the happier she will be. Anne's behavior is getting more and more weird. We suspect she wants to do something to Anna. There is a banquet at home, so let's lock her in the room for a day]

......

[The cat at home died and we found the cat's body in Annie's room. She killed the cat and used the cat's blood to draw various horrible runes on the wall. She was cursing us! 】

……

【Our illness is getting worse and worse, we are going to die...it must be Annie...】

……

The note stopped abruptly.

Suddenly, a heartbreaking "crunching" sound came from the direction of the bed.

Qisi suddenly raised his eyes and saw the two skeletons on the bed sitting upright at some point and turning their heads to look in his direction.

The fingertips felt a little damp, and on the piece of paper in his hand, the black text was turning red inch by inch, seeping out of the paper and flowing down like blood.

Let go of your hand, but the piece of paper seems to be stuck to your hand, unable to be shaken off no matter what. The bloody words extend their tentacles and pierce into the flesh, like the roots of a rose.

Qisi’s pupils narrowed.
