Chapter 252 [(*^▽^*)]
He continued, "It's not just about this quest item. We have three days to escape this secret room, and time is slipping away. We can't afford to waste any more time."
"So what do you suggest we do? Kill this boss now?"
"What are you saying? Keep your voice down, what if he hears you?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"What else can we do? Let's all tell each other what tools and talents we have, and see if we can kill him together. If we can, we can even dismantle the piano."
When he said he could even dismantle the piano, Lin Leyou, who had been sitting there in a daze, turned his gaze to this player without them noticing.
It wasn't Lin Leyou's own emotions, but the emotions of the NPC Lin Ying. This player had absolutely no respect for the piano and even said in front of him that he wanted to dismantle his favorite piano!
How could Lin Ying, as the mini-boss, not be angry?
Of course he was angry, but no one could tell. Even Lin Leyou himself found it a bit unbelievable. He felt that he was furious, but at the same time he was also very calm.
Rage is Lin Ying's emotion, while calmness is his own emotion. It's really amazing, such a wonderful feeling, to have two completely opposite emotions at the same time.
However, nothing can stop him from dealing with these players.
He subtly shifted his gaze, waiting for the group of players to come to him, or even to talk to him, but they didn't approach him immediately; instead, they went to knock on the wall.
That's right, they went to knock on the wall to see if they could find any clues. Lin Leyou was a little speechless, but he didn't say anything and just sat quietly in the chair and waited.
When two players passed by him, he didn't move, which relieved everyone.
But before they could completely relax, the man who had threatened to dismantle his piano was killed by Lin Leyou as he passed by.
Now there are two corpses lying next to the piano, and the smell of blood in the music room is gradually getting stronger, with the pool of blood on the ground getting bigger and bigger.
The remaining five players stared in disbelief at the corpse on the ground.
Two have died. How can the remaining members solve the puzzle, find the quest item hidden in the music room, and escape safely?
"Why...why did you attack him?"
Lin Leyou suddenly turned to look at him, her clear black and white eyes staring straight at him, startling the player so much that he took two steps back and hid behind other players.
But the other players are scared too!
Just as Lin Leyou was about to speak, he noticed that one of the players, using his coat as cover, seemed to be taking something out of it.
What is it?
It's a gun!
Lin Leyou had drawn his gun in this way before and was very familiar with the action, so what should he do now?
When he looked over, the gun was already halfway out. Good, they were indeed going to shoot him. In that case, he didn't need to think too much and just killed them.
He didn't immediately draw his weapon to fight them, but instead used Lin Ying's talent, slamming his hands down on the piano.
His expression was frenzied, and his hands pressed the keys haphazardly, producing a torrent of devilish music that the five players simply couldn't resist.
Even with their hands tightly covering their ears, the sounds seemed to penetrate their skin and flesh, vibrating directly into their brains.
The five players had all become somewhat frenzied. Only then did Lin Leyou stop playing his instrument, take out the large broadsword from his backpack, and begin attacking the five somewhat delirious players one by one.
Looking at the corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, Lin Leyou only glanced at them a few times before putting away his Mo Dao and returning to his seat to continue killing time.
I work twelve hours a day, and there are still more than six hours left today. It looks like I can rest soon.
By the way, these players are looking for key fragments... I wonder if he can also try to find them.
But he didn't know what the mystery of the music room was, and how was he supposed to find it?
Wait a minute... Do these seven players even know the mystery of the music room? They've been searching aimlessly like headless flies ever since they arrived.
It doesn't look like there are any clues at all.
So, in order to solve the puzzle in the music room, you must first find clues related to the music room elsewhere. Only then can you successfully solve the puzzle here and obtain the key fragment.
Of course, whether he can leave alive in the end depends on him, or on whether the players can kill him.
He is the boss of the music room. Players can leave if he allows it, and they can also leave if he dies. It's very fair.
Just as Lin Leyou was lost in thought, the door was opened from the outside again. This time, two male players came in. They looked somewhat alike and seemed to be related by blood.
However, this has nothing to do with Lin Leyou.
Lin Leyou placed her hands on the piano keys and played a beautiful melody. The two players had just opened the door when they heard the lovely music, which was like celestial music...
But what followed was a strong smell of blood, and the sight of seven players lying dead on the ground.
They exchanged a glance and immediately became alert, their eyes fixed on the person playing the piano amidst the corpses. This must be the BOSS here.
"Brother, look at this..."
"It's dangerous, don't come near."
“I know, but…”
"Let's look at the puzzle first. It was activated as soon as we entered. Let's find the quest item first."
"I see."
The older brother took out a palm-sized stone slab from his pocket. It had some strange patterns on it. For some reason, Lin Leyou had never seen it before and didn't recognize it at all, but after glancing at it, he felt that it looked very familiar.
This looks like sheet music?
He suddenly stopped, and the piano music in the music room also stopped abruptly. The two players immediately looked at Lin Leyou warily, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Lin Leyou knew that these two players couldn't possibly kill him by sneak attack; they were extremely wary of him. Since that was the case…
He turned to look at them and said, "Hello."
The two players remained silent.
Lin Leyou continued, "Hello!"
This time, his tone was somewhat firm, and they finally reacted. The older brother looked at Lin Leyou and replied, "Hello, may I ask who you are...?"
Lin Leyou asked, somewhat puzzled, "I'm Lin Ying, don't you recognize me?"
The older brother blinked, then frantically searched his surroundings for anything that could provide him with more information. Sure enough, he found a trophy on a bookshelf.
"Of course I know you. You're the one who wins piano competitions all the time. I know you. Although I don't know much about music, your piano skills are really amazing."
Lin Leyou… no, it was Lin Ying. Hearing this, she was genuinely delighted, unable to suppress her smile. “Oh dear, these are all minor competitions. Even winning them doesn’t prove anything. You flatter me! I’m not that good…”
The two players exchanged a glance, realizing that this was the boss's weakness; all they had to do was praise him for his piano skills.
Lin Leyou grew increasingly happy until they handed him the small stone slab, at which point he discovered their plot.
However, at this moment, the body was no longer under Lin Leyou's control and directly gave the answer with a smile.
"This is a short piece of sheet music, which probably represents the best piano."
After saying this, Lin Leyou instantly calmed down. In fact, his body was not under control; it was merely affected by his identity as Lin Ying.
Fortunately, after answering the question, Lin Leyou regained full control.
After seeing Lin Leyou's expression change instantly, they immediately took several steps back, maintaining a safe distance above them.
In this way, Lin Leyou would be unable to attack them from here. If he missed his first strike, he would definitely miss when he chased after them to kill them.
Lin Leyou blinked, but didn't press the issue. He simply stopped communicating with them and continued playing his piano, muttering to himself as he did so.
"What best piano? My piano is the best piano! All the others are inferior!"
The two brothers watched from a distance, and amidst the sounds of piano music, they vaguely heard some words: "It's his piano!"
Their gazes subtly fell on the piano that Lin Leyou was playing. Could the quest item be hidden inside this piano?
Is this mystery so easy to solve?
Brother, "Are you stupid? It's not that simple. This is the BOSS. Generally speaking, you can't get answers from him so easily."
"We were just lucky this time. I saw that he really liked being praised for things related to the piano, so I used an item I drew before to get him to answer the question about the stone slab. I never expected..."
What a huge harvest!
Not only can players hear NPCs' voices, but NPCs can also hear players' voices. That's why Lin Leyou realized that his out-of-control answer to the question wasn't because Lin Ying was too emotional and his body was out of control, but because this unethical player had used an item on him!
Very good, really good, use the prop on him!
If this is the case for a dungeon of only difficulty C, imagine how bad it is for the later ones.
He really wanted to know how Jiang Changhai managed to not only escape unscathed from a 3S difficulty dungeon, but also obtain a talent card!
That's really amazing!
Lin Leyou kept talking about love to numb himself. Fortunately, the prop he used earlier was not fatal, otherwise he would have been killed without even knowing it.
You won't even know how you died when the time comes.
