Chapter 107 Blizzard Villa (10) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]

There are too many rooms in the castle.

Not to mention the towers that can only be reached by crossing the corridor bridge outside, there are at least more than a hundred rooms in the main body of the castle alone. Otherwise, with the frequent murders in recent days, so many people have to switch rooms all the time, and if there were not enough rooms, there would not be enough for them to switch.

Chen Fei's fixed attributes didn't allow him to see much. He could only vaguely see someone walking to the front of the room and finding that the room was full of corpses.

Fang Shaoning didn't know any more details.

He had no idea what this room full of corpses was used for, how they got there, or who discovered the room.

A group of people discussed for a long time in the evening but did not come to any conclusion. Seeing that it was getting late, they decided to go to bed and wait until the next day to see what was going on.

Anyway, according to Chen Fei's fixed attributes, it is inevitable that this room will appear tomorrow, but I don't know who will discover it.

In the morning, the guests who were not awakened by the news of new deaths finally arrived at the banquet hall one after another.

The wind and snow outside the window continued to fall. Guan Hongyan and Yun Guang went down to the first floor to take a look before arriving. The snow had almost reached half of the window. At this rate, if they waited a few more days, it would probably cover the entire first floor of the castle.

"Today is the fourth day since we entered the unknown space," Guan Hongyan calculated. "At this rate, by the tenth day, all the gates leading out of the castle will be blocked by snow, and we will be unable to leave."

"I wonder if there is a tail killer in this space," Yun Guang looked at the snow outside the window thoughtfully, "If there is, I don't know what will happen when the snow covers the entire castle."

"It may be a long-time space," Guan Hongyan guessed as she walked towards the banquet hall. "We are the explorers who entered here when the space was just unsealed, so the weather here was relatively clear on the first day. If we don't discover all the rules before we leave, then when the next group of people comes in, the snow will continue to pile up, so the later the people come in, the closer they will be to being killed."

"What do you mean by tail kill?" Xu Zichen and Lu Changfeng came down from the upstairs yawning. Seeing the two men walking up from below, they subconsciously asked, "Why did you two come up from below?"

"I went down to check the snow outside," Guan Hongyan explained. "The snow has almost covered half of the first floor. At this rate, in ten days, the entire first floor will be blocked by snow, and the snow will be taller than a person."

"Did you make any new discoveries after you stayed there last night?" Yun Guang asked casually as he walked towards the banquet hall.

"Don't mention it, it's true," Lu Changfeng twitched his lips, looked around, and lowered his voice, "The Qiao Youlin who died last night was actually An Li."

Since no new guests died, the others woke up at different times. The three of them woke up the earliest, and when they arrived at the banquet hall, there was no one at the table yet, only a few servants standing nearby.

Xu Zichen explained clearly what happened to Fang Shaoning last night in just a few words, and successfully gained the other two shocked looks.

"Oh my god, can the rules be taken out?" Guan Hongyan was shocked. "Someone else succeeded?"

There are many inexplicable rules in the unknown space. If they can all be taken out and brought into other spaces, then the rules of the high-dimensional space will completely crush the low-dimensional space.

For example, in the only Cthulhu worldview space she had ever visited, if she could bring the Cthulhu creatures inside to a non-Cthulhu space, the blow to the non-Cthulhu space would be almost devastating.

Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of other spaces, it is strictly forbidden to take things out of the unknown space, and it is completely impossible to take them out.

It was the first time she had heard of someone being able to take the core rules of an unknown space out and apply them skillfully in other spaces.

"Zi Chen said that Scarao was also in the space where the core rules were taken away," Yun Guang pointed out, "So he came to this space this time to find Fang Shaoning, and inviting us was just a coincidence."

Otherwise, it can't explain why a big shot from a special space suddenly came to the mid-range space?

"I thought he had chosen this space on purpose to attract the team members. It turns out we were just being overly sentimental," Guan Hongyan complained while eating breakfast. "They came down here to do their own things."

"Not really," Yun Guang shook his head and said calmly, "Zi Chen said that last night, Scario told Fang Shaoning that as long as he said that it had been handled and Fang Shaoning changed his identity and no longer contacted the foundation, then the higher-ups wouldn't find any problems. This is a good representation of the problem."

"What's the problem?" Guan Hongyan was confused.

"This means that he is representing the Foundation, not himself. This time he entered the mid-range space to deal with Fang Shaoning at the instruction of the Foundation, and he holds the initiative in this action," Yun Guang said the last sentence while looking at Zhang San and Li Si who had walked into the banquet hall. "The organization of Skao is very likely not an ordinary organization. It is estimated that there is an official background of the Foundation in it."

Guan Hongyan stared in the direction of Lu Changfeng with extremely shocked eyes.

"What luck you have," Zhang San and Li Si sat down, and she had to make an exaggerated mouth shape, "It's your first time in a project, and you're an E-level, and you've got such a big thigh?"

At first they thought that it was just Skao's luck to meet Lu Changfeng, but now they see that he is in need of treatment. He has everything. Lu Changfeng is the lucky guy who got the big pie from the sky.

Under the stare of his sister Yan, Lu Changfeng was stunned.

Is Scario so awesome?

He also wants to know what his luck is!

When Bai Jinshu finally woke up and dragged the evil god, who was wearing some unknown skin, downstairs to eat, he successfully received three looks of shock and curiosity.

"What's wrong?" He pulled out the stool next to him and waited until Huai Jiamu sat down before sitting next to him, looking at Guan Hongyan and Xu Zichen.

"Nothing...nothing." Lu Changfeng handed over a glass of milk in a very servile manner, "Brother Ao, have breakfast, have breakfast."

Bai Jinshu didn't get up early. When he arrived, most of the guests in the castle had already left.

Some people didn't even come down to have breakfast in the morning.

Fu Gui's words last night still had some impact on them. Before the next night came, most people chose to seize this safe time, or to catch up on their sleep, to ensure that they could spend the night sober. For example, Fu Gui and Wang En did not show up at all.

Or they could go investigate, hoping to find something in common between the three deaths during the day, like Zheng Tan and Xiao Mi, who went to observe the rooms where the victims died.

In short, out of fear of the night, most people choose to seize the time after breakfast.

It was already around ten o'clock when Bai Jin woke up. It was rare for him to wake up naturally without getting mad. His temper was surprisingly good. Seeing Lu Changfeng being so servile, he didn't ask anything. After drinking the milk, he asked, "Are you all waiting for me?"

"Wait for you to come and summarize the current rules together." Yun Guang tapped the table with his knuckles. "Zi Chen and Chang Feng told us about what Chen Fei saw with the fixed attribute last night."

The other three mid-level players probably didn't know that Chen Fei was actually Fang Shaoning, so Yun Guang didn't call him by his real name.

However, since the information that An Li was the killer who came to kill Qiao Youlin was now semi-public, the remaining three mid-level team members did not have a good attitude towards Chen Fei, who had been very close to the killer An Li from the beginning in the space.

As soon as Yun Guang finished speaking, Ling Dai's somewhat cold voice rang out: "There is snow outside the castle now, and we can't get out. The bodies of the two people who died two days ago were handled by the male servants in the castle. Is it possible that that room is the room where they handled the bodies?"

"It shouldn't be a pile full of corpses, right?" Xu Zichen subconsciously denied, "We only lost two people. If it was a pile full of corpses, there would have to be at least a dozen dead. The number doesn't add up."

"Chen Fei?" Bai Jin spoke slowly.

"There are more than a dozen bodies," Fang Shaoning's eyelids twitched when he was suddenly named by this great god. He quickly explained, "The room in my picture... there must be at least dozens of bodies, neatly arranged. At first glance, they look like they are asleep. If there weren't an architect and a secretary who died a few days ago, I wouldn't have realized at first glance that these were all corpses."

He has always been very good at changing his stance according to the situation. Now that the fact that An Li killed Qiao Youlin has been exposed to everyone, he quickly and obviously switched sides to the camp of these high-end team members, guarding against mid-level team members like Ling Dai who might try to kill him.

There were dozens of corpses, all neatly arranged.

If that room was used to deal with corpses, then only two people died from beginning to end. What about the others in there?

Guan Hongyan seemed to be thinking: "There are dozens more... If that room is full of corpses, then where did all the dead people come from in the castle? Could it be that many people had died here before we came?"

"Besides, who would arrange the bodies so neatly? Even if it's snowing heavily outside, it should be covered with a white sheet or something," Lu Changfeng followed up, "Could it be that the owner of this castle is performing some mysterious summoning ritual? A cult ritual? The kind that requires a human life to activate?"

"So this is why someone must die in the castle every night?" Qiao Youlin continued.

"No way," Bai Jinshu took the toast handed over by Huai Jiamu and raised his eyes to look at him, "Isn't it a mandatory condition for this castle that one person dies every night?"

Qiao Youlin's eyes suddenly became strange.

"Yes," he realized. "Among the three people who died so far, the architect was the first. Ye died inexplicably in the room without any signs. Secretary Xiao Shu committed suicide in the room with broken porcelain pieces. An Li came to kill me and died of suffocation after entering my body."

Since people had been dying in the past few nights, the exploration team members who had been subconsciously observing the situation and summarizing the rules were easily led astray by what Fu Gui said tonight. But now looking at it this way, the way these three people died was exactly the same as An Li's method of killing people. Didn't they all die without any external intervention?

There are many inexplicable people in the mid- and low-end spaces. He has also encountered members of the newspaper team who deliberately massacred important insiders after entering the exploration, causing the copy to permanently lose key clues.

However, this type of exploration team member is definitely not welcome, and the degree of disgust may be second only to those who go to blow up fish ponds and deliberately enter the dungeon to accept murder commissions. Moreover, since there are relatively few completed exploration projects and they are basically all in an unfinished state, the points of these team members are definitely not high, so most of them only exist in the low-end space, and it is quite rare for them to be able to rise to the mid-end.

According to this statement, these three people should have been killed by An Li?

At the dining table, everyone's eyes immediately turned in Fang Shaoning's direction.

"I don't know about the architect," Fang Shaoning immediately clarified after noticing these gazes, "Among the three people, only two were killed by An Li, and the architect was not killed. We don't know how the architect died either."

"Then why did you kill the secretary?" Ling Dai obviously didn't believe it. "Killing Qiao Youlin can be explained by taking a dirty job to snipe the boss's enemy in an unknown space. The secretary is an indigenous person. Killing her may cause the loss of key information. Why kill an indigenous person for no reason?"

Qiao Youlin then asked, "Yes, why did An Li kill his secretary?"

Receiving the gazes of these two people, Fang Shaoning felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat.

He can't say that it's because the Skao next to you looks like he's going to cause trouble for him, so he just wants these natives to kill each other, explore the rules quickly, and then leave, right?

After these words were spoken, the blame that could have been entirely put on An Li now had a lot to do with him.

Scarao looked at him with a half-smile on his face, and it was obvious that he had no intention of helping him out, and even wanted to watch the show.

The two mid-level players next to him were aggressive, and in the end, he could only speak carefully: "In order to provoke conflicts among the indigenous people."

"The rules of this space are most likely related to the guests who were invited here," he said, choosing his words carefully. "The death of a person puts pressure on the indigenous people, and they will take corresponding actions on their own initiative to promote the development of the investigation."

"So you can just kill people at will?" Ling Dai sneered as she crossed her arms and said, "The natives of the unknown space are also human beings. I really shouldn't have any hope in murderers like you who take on dirty jobs to kill people."

"Now that two people are dead, why don't you tell me how the investigation was pushed forward?" She leaned back in her chair, and it was obvious that Shao Ning had a lot of opinions about her. "Does killing someone not count as killing if there is a reason?"

What she said caused many explorers present to look at her with complicated eyes.

The more they go into unknown spaces, for explorers who are not part of them, the indigenous people in the unknown spaces do make them feel like they are "not of our kind" to some extent, and most of the time they actually hold an indifferent attitude towards their deaths.

After ascending to the middle-level space, it is rare to find someone like Ling Dai who still treats the indigenous people equally.

There were also a few sentences on the barrage:

[It's rare to see an exploration team member like Ling Dai. ]

[The lower the level, the more people hold this attitude. However, as you move up, most team members no longer care about the lives of the indigenous people. There are actually quite a lot of people like Xiao Fang.]

[I've been wanting to say this for a long time. Unknown space is also part of each parallel world. Maybe there are explorers who come from the exploration space...]

[I invested in this angel investment, if for no other reason than for this attitude. ]

On the screen, Ling Dai was obviously very dissatisfied with Fang Shaoning, so Yun Guang had to smooth things over: "At least now we roughly know that not everyone will die every night. This is not one of the rules. There is no death forced by the rules in the castle."

During the investigation, this interference factor can be eliminated.

Ling Dai sat at the table and didn't say anything because Yun Guang was a senior team member.

"Before noon, my suggestion is that we split up and look for the room that Fade Chen saw yesterday, and find out what happened to the bodies inside."

His proposal was agreed by everyone.

Bai Jinshu had a map, and after posting it to the group, everyone divided the area between two people. Lu Changfeng waited until everyone had left before coming over and whispered, "Brother Ao, who is this?"

He was referring to the man next to him.

During the discussion just now, the eyes of others drifted in this direction uncontrollably, but due to Scarao's identity, they didn't dare to say much. They could only watch the two people silently and eat breakfast while listening to their discussion. Scarao took the breakfast from that person's hand so smoothly as if he had known them for ten years. Ling Dai was choked several times in the middle of her words and couldn't continue.

"This?" The long-haired young man turned around and hooked the other's little finger with a smile, "It's a male servant. Didn't I tell you last night?"

Guan Hongyan, who was in the same group with him, twitched her lips.

You say it, but no one will believe it, right?

Who would think that this kind of person is a butler?

Especially the behavior of the male servants nearby seemed particularly strange.

When she saw this person handing milk to Scarao, they always looked like they wanted to come forward but didn't dare to, which made her wonder if Scarao had kidnapped someone from this unknown space.

Could it be the owner of the castle?

There's no need to work so hard just to explore, right?

Guan Hongyan's eyes twitched. Relying on the fact that this man, who looked like a German, probably didn't understand Chinese, she directly reminded him, "Skao, you're not being fooled, are you? Don't you think that the group of male servants behind him seemed quite respectful to him this morning?"

"Is there?" Skao touched his chin and observed the "butler" next to him for a while. "That might be the butler leader."

After saying this, he walked away slowly with the so-called "male butler leader" beside him, leaving only the two exploration team members standing there with indescribable expressions.

"What do you mean, brother Ao?" Guan Hongyan turned around and asked, "Why did you suddenly get along so well with this aboriginal after just one night?"

"I don't know," Lu Changfeng scratched his head, "Uh... maybe he is more outgoing?"

When his brother Ao first saw the nurse in the First Hospital, he called her "sister".

God, he's so familiar.

Guan Hongyan began her morning search with a heart full of complaints.

One morning was far from enough for everyone to search all the rooms in the castle, not to mention that many rooms were actually locked.

At this time, you need to find a servant to open the door, but even the male servants don’t have the keys to some rooms, and if you ask, they are not qualified to enter these places.

Yun Guang bought a miracle similar to a photocopier from the mall, and printed out a rough map of the distribution of their own space for everyone. During the investigation, the rooms that could not be entered were marked on the map. If in the end no one could find the room full of corpses that Fang Shaoning saw, it meant that it was most likely in these locked rooms.

During the exploration, Guan Hongyan accidentally saw Skao who was in another area through the corridor.

He was walking in a corridor with locked doors on both sides. He and the unknown native were walking in front, and following behind them was one of the castle's servants.

The two men didn't need to say anything at all. When they arrived at a door, the other party took the initiative to open the door for them to check. His attentiveness was totally unlike the man next to him who was a parrot who said in a serious tone, "Sorry, ma'am, I am not qualified to enter either."

Shit, do the privileged class have to be so blatant?

Guan Hongyan turned around angrily and looked at the male servant next to her: "Where is your foreman? Where is your foreman?"

"I'm sorry ma'am, I don't know about that either."

What a unclear one.

So the person who just walked past was not your foreman at all, right?

Just like that, by noon, the team members who had dispersed in the morning to look for the room had not found the room that Fang Shaoning had seen.

However, at noon, Fu Gui and Wang En, who had not been seen all morning, came down to eat. It seemed that they had gotten enough sleep and were ready to stay up all night.

Ronghua and Zheng Ju also sat together. There were undercurrents between the two of them and Wang En, and it seemed that they were already competing with each other.

The day is different from the night. Huai Jiamu, a person who had never appeared in the past few days, suddenly sat at the dinner table and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Bai Jinshu used the excuse of the butler as usual, but the actions between the two could not deceive anyone, and several natives showed expressions of contempt or disdain on their faces.

Bai Jinshu didn't care. He didn't care what these people thought anyway.

Huai Jiamu... Since the part of Huai Jiamu that belongs to Skao didn't want to go offline, he kept covering his eyes with a piece of cloth so he couldn't see.

After the meal, everyone was full of speculation about the identity of this person who suddenly appeared.

Most people thought that he was not as simple as Scarao said, but the natives did not speak French, so they could not ask for the truth.

After Bai Jinshu intentionally or unintentionally expressed the information that the person next to him was the one he met last night, except for Fu Gui who seemed to be very disdainful of such behavior, and Wang En who sat up suddenly as if his spine was poked, only Zheng Ju looked at him with a thoughtful look, as if he was about to move.

He lowered his head to hide his eyes, and seemed to be calculating something in his mind, but he didn't know that all these actions were seen by Wang En on the opposite side.

The long-haired young man slowly cut a piece of chicken liver and turned his gaze away from them.

Took the bait.

Next, who will take action first?

The author has something to say:

Although I don't know why, I am really happy to see my wife being so active and affectionate.

Xiao Ao who is posting: Let me pretend to hook up with the castle owner to see if Zheng Ju planned to kill Wang En first in order to reasonably hook up with a rich man, or if Wang En discovered Zheng Ju's plan and decided to take action immediately
