Chapter 98 Red Rose Manor 8
The attic was dark, but fortunately there was a small chimney-sized window with a starry sky on the ceiling, through which a round circle of moonlight fell, opening a hazy door to the dark attic.
There are several bodies here.
The bodies were packed close together, sitting in rows against the wall.
The clearest corpse in the field of vision was holding a middle school textbook. Next to it was a slightly smaller corpse holding a toy car model. The others were not clearly visible in the shadows.
These corpses had already decayed, but the people were wearing relatively new and clean clothes compared to the corpses.
If you look closely at the two bodies that can be seen clearly, you can see signs that they had been stitched.
Ling Changye, who was originally drowsy, saw these and his heart began to beat fast and his head ached sharply.
Summer white.
This scene suddenly reminded him of Xia Bai.
He had been handling the situation with ease, but suddenly he felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.
He should have analyzed the situation calmly, but he no longer had the energy to do so.
He walked back to the study with heavy steps, holding on to the wall, and wrote down all the clues he had obtained today in his diary, including the detailed records about the three souls and seven spirits he saw in the "Notes on Inner Observation", including the attic, and other clues he had seen in the book in the past few days.
After finishing his diary, he picked up another diary, said sorry to Lin Xiang in his heart, and tore up Lin Xiang's diary.
He knew that Lin Xiang might have tried his best to write this incomplete diary.
However, he wrote about the torn diary in his diary, and he was not sure whether Heihua had seen it. He could not take the risk of letting Heihua see it. If he saw someone tearing a diary, he might have the same bad idea and tear up the diary he wrote as well.
What's more, besides Heihua, there are also people from the Holy Travel Guild.
After carefully cleaning the tear marks, Ling Changye took out two pieces of cardboard from the cabinet below and rewrote the study room rules and bedroom rules.
《Rules of Life in Red Rose Castle》
1. Eat on time, sleep on time, and maintain a healthy schedule.
2. Do not litter, clean up the garbage in time and keep the castle clean and tidy.
3. Don’t make loud noises. The time for watching TV is from 11:00 to 12:00 noon and from 7:00 to 8:00 in the evening.
4. Study hard. The study time is from 9 to 11 in the morning and from 8 to 9 in the evening. Please go to the study room to study.

6. Don't look in the mirror casually. If you see someone in the mirror who is not you, don't be nervous, it is your hallucination, you must be you. If the person in the mirror talks to you, maybe you can try talking to him.
7. Don’t go to the attic! Don’t go to the attic! Don’t go to the attic! Just don’t go.
《Red Rose Castle Study Rules》
1. Study hard in the study room and don’t touch your mobile phone.
2. Keep the study room clean and tidy and avoid scribbling on it.
3. Choose a book that suits you during study time, and read at least 20 pages a day. After study time, you can choose an extracurricular book that interests you to supplement your study. The recommended book is "Notes on Inner Observation".
4. The diary should record facts truthfully and not make up stories. If you find false records and nonsense, it may be that the person has mental problems and do not believe them.
5. The diary is a summary of the day's study and life. It should be written after the study time is over, and you should leave the study room immediately after finishing the diary.
6. You don’t need to close the door when you leave. Remind yourself to go into the study room to study at any time.
He took away all the remaining cardboard, changed the rules, and cleaned up all the garbage. Ling Changye then went to have dinner. After dinner, he only had enough energy left to collapse on the sofa and turn on the TV.
By eight o'clock he no longer had the energy to move to the bedroom.
Before he fell into unconsciousness, he heard the sound of bones rubbing against the ground under the sofa again.
As the sound approached, he completely lost consciousness.
He knew that as long as he could hold on until Xia Bai, he would be able to complete the game.
Lan Ruoming woke up from her coma, feeling like she was rescued from drowning. Her lungs were burning with pain and she was gasping for breath.
He just lay on the bed, breathing steadily, feeling the terrible physical condition.
Breathing was more difficult and painful than the last time he woke up. His lungs might be rotten. It might really be like what that player wrote, that they were all internal organs in one body. He felt death in this broken and decaying body. The player with the lungs might have died.
His bladder must have fucking died, too, because he hadn't even once gone to the bathroom to pee, and his body was swollen and uncomfortable.
Now he has another nocturnal emission.
Lan Ruoming lay down until after half past eight before she got up and pushed open the bathroom door.
He saw two versions of the bedroom rules, one that said the bathroom door should be closed and one that said it should be open, and he couldn't find any evidence to prove which one was correct.
According to his understanding of the game, each room here has rules, and each set of rules has so many items. It is impossible for one rule to result in death. Death should be triggered only when the number of violations reaches a certain number.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket, so he closes the bathroom door one day and opens it the next.
When he woke up yesterday, the bathroom door was closed, so he should open it today.
Changing clothes took a long time, and the clumsiness and discomfort of his body made him irritated, so he kicked the wardrobe angrily.
This damn game!
He started to feel irritated as soon as he entered the game.
He hates games like this, he likes games with many people.
His skills are related to his name. Life is like a dream, and one can enter a dream and watch life.
Whatever you think about during the day, you will dream about at night. In dreams, you can see people’s subconscious thoughts and secrets unknown to outsiders.
He likes games with many people. He only needs the night to know everyone's secrets and game clues.
He entered this game because of his skills and was arranged by Yang Yi to find out Xia Bai's secret.
One of Yang Yi's conditions for joining the Shengyou Guild at that time was that the Shengyou Guild fully cooperate with all his actions to capture and study Xia Bai.
When he saw the post about Hongqiang Manor looking for teammates, he guessed that Hua Haoming and Ling Changye should be in this game, so the possibility of Xia Bai being there was very high. He immediately asked the players of Shengyou Guild to contact the poster.
Maybe because he had failed too many times before, this time he asked the man to say that they were a three-person team, and planned to send three players from the Holy Tour Guild at once. They were determined to find out Xia Bai's secret or get his blood.
Because of his ability to enter dreams, he was chosen to uncover Xia Bai's secrets.
He was originally very resistant to this task. Everyone knew that in the game of Red Rose Manor, three groups of players had been wiped out.
Later, on the way here, two of his teammates died inexplicably and were replaced by two other people from the Holy Tour Guild, one of whom turned out to be their new vice president. He was no longer so resistant to the game and felt at ease.
In the entire Holy Tour Guild, everyone knew how terrifying and powerful this new vice president was. Before he joined the Guild, countless people had died at his hands. After he joined, all those who provoked him or did not cooperate with him went crazy or died.
Now, no one in the entire Shengyou Guild dared to resist him, including the newly arrived and arrogant Yang Yi. They only met once, and Yang Yi left in embarrassment under his gaze.
With You Yue's presence, he was full of expectations about entering this game.
He is the God of Death of the Holy Guild, and before, facing him was just fear.
Now that he and he are teammates, everything has become fun.
But who knew that this crappy game would be like this!
Ever since he acquired this skill, he hardly used his brain in the game, relying entirely on this skill to steal dreams.
Now let him analyze this complicated code, which has been changed again and again. How can he know which one is true and which one is false? How can he play this kind of crappy game?
After coming out of the bedroom cursing in his heart, he immediately went to the study to study.
Damn, the study room rules have changed again!
How many rules are there?
Should I close this damn door or not? Is it wrong to close it or not? Should I just remove it?
He became even more annoyed and tore up the rules without even reading them carefully.
After throwing the rules into the study trash can, he started today's study tasks.
At first, he saw the book "Choose books that are suitable for you" on the study website. He had not even finished junior high school, so what books should he read?
Later, he saw that his hands had changed and looked older than his own, and he realized that he had a status in this game.
Looking at his hands, even if he went to school, he should have graduated from college many years ago, so he couldn't read the textbooks for students, so he found a financial magazine to read.
The first rule he saw was that he could not read more than twenty pages at a time. Later, he saw that he had to read more than twenty pages. He still chose not to read twenty pages a day and to read more than twenty pages a day.
He should read more than twenty pages today.
[We still need to make more money.]
[In the future, the children will go abroad to study and start a family, which will require a lot of money.]
This was not the first time Lan Ruoming had seen such words in a magazine.
He had seen it before.
This is probably a middle-aged man, with a gentle and beautiful wife, a pair of healthy and gentle parents, and an unknown number of children, living together in this castle.
This man loves his family very much, which can be seen from what he wrote in this magazine. When he read this financial magazine, he wanted to make money. When he wanted to make money, he didn't think about himself, but planned what to do for his parents, wife, and children.
He couldn't see any other news.
After reading the book, it was time for his favorite part, reading the diary. Reading the diary was a bit like using his skills, as here he could see what clues other players had found.
He picked up one of the two diaries at random and turned to the latest entry. At first, the length of the diary surprised him, and when he saw the content of the diary, his eyes widened even more.
[After completing my study assignment today, I read an extracurricular book, Notes on Inner Observation. In this book, I saw a detailed record of the three souls and seven spirits.]
No wonder the diary is so long. The writer copied down the contents of the book about the three souls and seven spirits in great detail.
As soon as he saw him say three souls and seven spirits, he knew what he meant. He wanted to say that all of them, the players, had three souls and seven spirits. But how could that be? They were nine players, which did not match the three souls and seven spirits. From this point on, it could be directly denied.
But the more he read on, the more he could not deny that the setting of three souls and seven spirits was too consistent with his current physical condition.
He could even tell which of the three souls and seven spirits he was. He was one of the seven spirits, Fei Du, and his corresponding emotion was anger.
Originally, he didn't have such a bad temper and wasn't the type to get angry easily, but once he entered this game, he inexplicably became irritable and would get furious if things didn't go his way.
Fei Du was responsible for dispelling the evil spirits from the mud in his body. He felt a surge of energy in his body every night, and losing his temper might be his way of doing this.
As for why they had nine players but were able to fight against three souls and seven spirits, it was also written in the diary.
[In this case, a person cannot have two souls.]
This is nonsense. We have already said that people have three souls and seven spirits. Of course, they cannot have two spirits.
This sentence was a hint. He was hinting that one of them had two spirits, so nine people could fight against three souls and seven spirits.
[In addition to this book, I also saw some words in the book that didn’t look like notes.
"The new sister is very timid."
"I may look stupid, but I have a smart brain."
"I have to study hard, or they will catch up with me."
……]
He had also seen such words in books, that is, those in financial magazines. The words in the financial magazine were written by a middle-aged man, who was the head of the family in this castle. The words in the diary should have been written by the older brother among the children.
But what does "new sister" mean?
Now he knew that these players were all souls and spirits, and that they should not kill each other, but should cooperate to pass the level, so he took the financial magazine again, intending to copy all these words into his diary in this way later.
[I saw a hole on the top of the living room on the third floor. The other side of the hole seemed to be an attic. I seemed to see many well-dressed corpses. Is someone preserving these corpses?]
Lan Ruoming scratched her hair hard.
He had read the rules of life in the living room, which warned him not to go to the attic, and then said he could go to the attic. Originally, according to his thinking, he should go to the attic one day and not go to the attic the next day, but he did not do so.
The first rule he saw was not to go to the attic. Three consecutive warnings with exclamation marks warned him not to go to the attic, which made him feel that the attic should be a very dangerous place.
If he went, he might die, and if he didn't go, he would at most break a rule, so he never dared to go.
Does the person who wrote the diary want him to go and take a look?
How does he see? Through that hole?
So annoying!
What if there is danger!
He didn't want to go, so let the next player go. He had already broken so many rules that he couldn't take any more risks.
After making this decision, he finished reading other diaries and started writing his diary. He wrote down everything he had read in the financial magazines in the diary, then left the study and closed the door.
I didn’t close the study door when I woke up last time, so I should close it this time.
Before entering the bedroom, he glanced towards the living room, but in the end he did nothing and went into the bedroom. He still had to sleep in bed for eight hours.
After lying on the bed, Lan Ruoming was very nervous.
He had been through the bathroom and under the bed the first two nights.
He didn't know what the thing under the bed was. Every time it appeared, he closed his eyes and treated it as an illusion as the rules said.
But the thing in the bathroom, he had seen, was black hair.
A long, bloody and flesh-like thing crawled out of the toilet.
He knew it crawled out of the toilet because when he was avoiding the black hair, he ran to the bathroom door and saw it, black hair gushing out of the toilet like a gushing out.
There was fallen hair all over the bathroom.
He guessed that these hairs should belong to the wife of a middle-aged man who read financial magazines. He had written in the magazine that his wife had thick long black hair and was very beautiful.
I don’t know if it was the black hair in the bathroom that came out that night, or the thing under the bed that came out.
He prayed that it was something under the bed, and he just had to treat it as an illusion. When the black hair in the bathroom appeared, he was going to have another big battle, and his body couldn't bear it any longer.
Unfortunately, his wish was not fulfilled, and he saw the black-haired man crawling out of the bathroom door.
He cursed countless times in his heart and was about to get up and run outside. As soon as he got out of bed, something under the bed grabbed his ankle.
He first felt the piercing coldness coming from his ankle, and the next second he fell to the ground. Then, when he turned over, his eyes widened in horror.
There was black hair all over the sky, layer upon layer, many times more than last time.
He was drowned in black hair.
There was more blood and flesh on the black hair.
Hua Haoming opened his eyes.
He felt his body carefully and it was terrible.
Apart from having more difficulty breathing, feeling drowsy and having nocturnal emissions, his skin is not as good as before, and he also has some indescribable feelings, as if every cell in his body is heavy, as if being dragged by something.
With his hands on the bed, he got up with some difficulty and picked up the mobile phone on the table. It was still just after seven in the morning.
He followed the rules to have breakfast, study in the study, watch TV, and have lunch. After that, he finally had some time to breathe and went to the study to read his diary.
He read the diary about the three souls and seven spirits, and felt that it was as he expected, and smiled bitterly.
In this game, he was the one who dragged everyone down.
Because he carries a demon inside him, which limits everyone's thinking.
That demon is actually worthy of becoming one of the three souls and seven spirits independently like the players. Is his soul considered a soul?
Staring at the words "three souls and seven spirits", he was distracted uncontrollably for a while.
He suddenly remembered the Peace Medical College game that he, Xia Bai and Lin Xiang were involved in. In that game, people's habits would be exaggerated and alienated.
He was cursed by Chu Xuelin at school with pica, and he would dig up dirt near the laboratory building and eat it in the middle of the night.
Xia Bai and Lin Xiang were surprised that he had pica, and he did not hide it from them, saying that he had eaten dirt when he was a child. It came from the taste of dirt when he was knocked to the ground by someone, and later when he could not afford to eat, he really ate dirt and tree bark.
He wasn't lying, but it wasn't the entire truth.
The one who ate soil and tree bark was not him, but another Hua Haoming in his body. He used to call him brother, but later he called him devil.
He is very tall now, but he actually developed very late. He really started to grow when he was about to enter junior high school. When he was a child, he was always the shortest among his peers.
Because he was too short, had no parents, and only a blind grandmother, he was often bullied.
But he was a person who refused to give in. Even when he was beaten with a bloody head, he would not beg for mercy. Instead, he cursed even louder. As a result, he was often pinned to the ground and beaten by a group of people, and this lasted for a long time.
In fact, he was not as stubborn as he looked at that time. After all, he was just a young child, not the player who has been repeatedly tempered by the game now.
When he was beaten and felt like crying, he often thought that it would be great if he had a brother who could protect him and drive away all the bad guys.
He knew that his neighbor also had a short, sickly child, but no one ever bullied him because he had a tall and strong brother.
He didn't know how many times he was beaten, how many times he thought while bleeding, that he really had such a brother. He realized this when he saw those who bullied him being beaten and lying on the ground, looking at him in horror.
From that time on, no one bullied him anymore. They looked at him with horrified and strange eyes.
He later found out that the panic was indeed because he had a powerful brother who lived in his body and no one could beat him.
It was weird because they saw him eating dirt and tree bark.
There were times when he really couldn't afford to eat, but if he couldn't afford to eat, he could rummage through the trash cans to pick up leftovers, or he could dig up wild vegetables to eat. There were many options, and he didn't necessarily have to eat dirt.
My brother likes to eat dirt.
He seemed to have no idea what humans should eat, like a wild beast or a newborn baby.
He taught him what he should eat by writing in diaries and notes.
When my brother learned to write a diary, the first sentence he wrote to him was: "I know what people should eat. I just want to fill your stomach so that you don't have to secretly eat things from the trash can. It doesn't matter what I eat."
At that moment, Hua Haoming thought he was the best brother in the world.
But later, he found out that none of those who beat him had a good ending.
Later, he discovered that those who approached him did not have a good ending.
Once he entered the game, his demonic nature was revealed without reservation.
In the game, because of his dual personality, he successfully became a "Two-Faced Man". At critical moments, he can switch between the main and secondary personalities, which means letting the devil in his body come out. The devil can handle almost all dangers, and his skills are upgraded to the point where he can appear in the game at the same time as the devil.
The first time he saw the shadow of the devil, he killed all the players standing opposite him, licking his lips and calling him his brother.
The moment he saw him, he vomited.
When he was a child, he loved to eat dirt, and when he grew up, he became bloodthirsty. He was a demon who dug out other people's eyeballs and broke their limbs as a joke.
During his prayers, the demon took up residence in his body.
Hua Haoming hated him more and more, and wanted to kill him more than once, and tried many times.
But he had no choice. Before becoming a player, he had no power, no influence, no money, and no way out.
After entering the game, the devil had already been recognized by the game and became his soul skill, so he couldn't kill him anymore.
He couldn't get rid of him, and in order to get rid of him, he even thought about committing suicide.
After knowing Xia Bai's skills, he really thought about handing his body to Xia Bai and dying with him, so that he could leave his body.
Looking at the words "three souls and seven spirits" at this moment, he realized that it seemed that an opportunity had come, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that might only come once.
