Chapter 14 Octagon House "You are more likely to catch a cold than others (F). ...

"vomit……"

As soon as the roller coaster stopped, Chen Ye immediately stumbled down and started retching while holding onto the pillar beside him.

But Cecilia looked calm, as if she was not the one being tossed around in the air just now.

While waiting for Chen Ye to recover, she took out her ticket to check -

In addition to puppets and ice cream, there are also mirrors and roller coaster-shaped stamps. As long as they clear one more ride, they can go to the Octagon House.

"How about going to the carousel for our next ride?"

She pointed to the location on the map.

“It’s closest to the Octagon House, so it’ll save some time.”

"It doesn't sound dangerous."

Chen Ye looked pale and said weakly, "But sister, my legs are weak... Can I rest for a while..."

"Then I'll carry you?"

"No, I'll just rest for a while."

After saying that, Chen Ye sat down on the ground. If the ground wasn't really dirty, she would have wanted to lie down directly.

Taking out the map of the park, Cecia sorted out the clues she had obtained so far.

The clue given by the roller coaster was [these things in the park are incomplete], which also proved her previous conjecture -

"Chen Ye."

She squatted down, her eyes level with the other person, and asked, "Blood, lungs, eyeballs... Do you think there is any connection between these three body parts?"

"It seems there is no connection?"

Chen Ye scratched his head.

"Besides the fact that they both grow on human bodies, their functions and locations are very different."

"Yeah…"

Cecia stood up and fell into deep thought again.

The game House of Truth originates from Chen Ye’s world, and the background of the dungeon is more relevant to that world.

From this point of view, it is very likely that what the other party considers to be common sense has never been encountered by her. She thought Chen Ye could detect some key information...

“I figured it out!”

In the silence, Chen Ye's voice suddenly rang out. The other party grabbed the corner of her clothes and barely stood up.

"Blood can be transfused to people with the same blood type. Lungs and corneas can also be transplanted to others as long as the blood type matches."

Chen Ye looked at her with sparkling eyes and explained incessantly.

"So, if you have to say it, they can all be used to help others."

Help?

Suddenly, Mr. White's strange voice seemed to ring in her ears again -

“It saved many people, but destroyed many more.”

Salvation and destruction... She seemed to have discovered what was hidden behind this paradise.

"Don't rush to the merry-go-round yet."

She let Chen Ye hang on her body and said, "Let's find a special place where we can ask questions first."

"Sister, what do you understand now?"

Chen Ye's eyes widened instantly, with curiosity and excitement flashing in his eyes: "I have no idea what the so-called bliss is."

"It's related to Ji Le..."

"My two ladies, we meet again."

A familiar tone interrupted her words.

The tall, twisted figure in pure white appeared again. Mr. White was pushing an ice cream cart not far from them.

"I heard that you seem to have doubts."

Mr. White's voice drew out a long tail, with several turns in tone.

"Why don't you try asking him in person?"

"Don't mess around!"

Chen Ye said weakly, "We are looking for a special place. It's not something that can be answered by just anyone!"

[Congratulations to the player for activating the special place in this instance - the Taotie Ice Cream Truck. You can ask questions here. Currently, the number of questions remaining is three.]

The system prompt sound suddenly rang, and Chen Ye's expression froze on his face instantly.

"You are really what we are looking for!"

She muttered something, seemingly still dissatisfied with Mr. White.

Is this the special place?

But why didn't they activate it when they first met White...

Cecia grabbed the white ball and sent back the other person's fallen body parts.

"I'm going to use this opportunity to ask a question," she said.

Hearing this, Mr. White put away the smile that was almost frozen on his face.

It turned towards Cecia, and its voice became old-fashioned and mechanical: "Please confirm the question."

"Were my sister's eyes transplanted from an eyeless person?"

Mr. White's strange face still had no other facial features except his mouth.

But she felt an inexplicable feeling of being watched by others, which made her very uncomfortable.

"The player's question has been confirmed, and the answer to that question is: yes."

This voice was completely different from Mr. White's usual high-pitched tone. Every word seemed to have been calculated by a precise machine, without any emotional fluctuations.

"The player currently has two remaining questions. Do you want to continue using them?"

"No."

She refused.

Now that we have figured out the core issue, there is no need to waste any more questions.

“…It seems that this lady has got the answer she wanted.”

After the questioning, Mr. White returned to his previous self, his voice sharp and emotional, completely different from before.

"Well, the weak lady next to you, I think you really need monster dessert to relieve your fatigue--"

"I don't need it, thank you!"

Chen Ye immediately stood up straight, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"it's a pity."

Mr. White shrugged and bent over the map in Cecia's hand.

Seeing the carousel being circled by Cecia, it shook its head in disapproval.

"Rather than riding a merry-go-round, I recommend you do a puzzle."

As it spoke, it carefully pulled back the part that had fallen on Cecia: "Trust me, there is what you need."

"Sister, don't listen to it."

Seeing Mr. White staggering away, Chen Ye came over and persuaded him, "After all, it's also a copy creature. Who knows if it wants to harm us?"

Cecilia glanced at her, nodded in agreement, and then resolutely dragged Chen Ye to the puzzle game.

It is not known whether Mr. White has any bad intentions, but it has to be said that this puzzle is really not dangerous.

Except that the puzzle patterns are always filled with bloody scenes such as organs, the gameplay is no different from that of an ordinary puzzle.

She familiarized herself with the rules a little bit and soon passed the level with Chen Ye.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully clearing the dungeon scene - puzzle, and has obtained the item: an unknown key. ]

The key is pink and blue all over, with a cute candy pattern on the end.

"Where is this key?"

Chen Ye looked at the key over and over again, playing with it repeatedly, but didn't find any clues.

"There are no clues at the moment."

She looked at the map for a long time but couldn't find any amusement facilities related to candy. "Maybe it will be useful in the future."

As she said that, she put the key in her pocket, carried Chen Ye on her shoulder, and headed towards the octagonal house at full speed.

…

Silence, loneliness... and the unknown.

Just like the last time they came here, this wooden building still exuded a very uncomfortable atmosphere.

Just in case, Cecilia made a balloon first. The note tied to the blue balloon read:

"You are more likely to catch a cold than others (F)."

...What kind of damn ability is this?

The blue veins on her forehead twitched twice, and she reluctantly gave it to the blind man who was alone next to her.

Seeing that the balloon was unreliable, Cecilia made sure that the matches and branches in her pocket were within reach, and then she and Chen Ye pushed open the old door.

[It is detected that the visitor has collected all five park stamps. The park's core facility "Octagon House" will be open to you. 】

[Please take out at least one item from the Octagon House within five days. If you exceed the time limit or fail to take out the item, the mission will be considered failed.]

As the prompt sound ended, the picture in front of me gradually became clear.

Unlike the shabby and gloomy exterior, the interior of the building looks like a nobleman's mansion and is decorated in the utmost luxury.

She and Chen Ye were standing at the door, with a group of people of different ages and identities standing beside them.

Judging from their performance, these people should not be players, but characters arranged in the copy.

"The guests have arrived."

An elderly woman with graying hair and a wrinkled face came down the spiral staircase.

Those old eyes scanned everyone present through the monocle.

"I am the housekeeper here, and I am also the master's agent when he is away. During your stay in the mansion, I will arrange your daily life."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to signal the crowd behind her to follow.

"I believe you all came here for the master's collection, but now it is getting late. I will lead you to the guest room on the third floor to rest."

"Starting tomorrow, a five-day auction will be held on the second floor. Everyone is welcome to participate."

"The host is always hospitable, so there are not too many rules here. You can be more casual."

"but--"

The butler paused and stopped at the stairs to the second floor.

She turned to look at everyone, her voice becoming more stern.

"After the bell rings at night, you are not allowed to leave the guest room, let alone enter the collection room on the second floor. When the bell rings again the next morning, you can move freely."

She observed everyone's expressions with sharp eyes. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Cecilia always felt that their eyes stayed on her the longest.

"This is the only requirement of the mansion. I hope you can comply."

After saying that, the butler continued to lead the way and turned to go up to the third floor.

Then, rooms were allocated to the guests according to the standard of two people per room.

Cecilia and Chen Ye were assigned to Room 304.

As soon as they locked the door, a crisp ring rang outside.

The sound of the bell came and went, as if someone was walking back and forth outside, ringing the bell.

"Is this the ringtone the butler was talking about?"

Chen Ye relaxed his body and fell headfirst onto the soft bed. "From now on, we can't go out."

"Go to bed early and focus on tomorrow's auction."

She looked around the room and picked up the quilt beside her and shook it.

"But we only have a few gold beans on us. Can we really take pictures of things?"

Chen Ye rolled around on the bed, muttering to himself.

"I should have known not to spend so much money on the little girl."
