Strange Stories about Castle Rules
The dormitory building has 25 floors. Strictly speaking, the lobby is not actually on the first floor.
In this way, Yu Fu’s number is easy to understand. Like them, he is in area A03, and the last three digits should have been the room number.
But the dormitory management room does not belong to the students' rooms, so it is reasonable to use 000 instead.
"Are you also a student?"
No, Ding Can denied his guess as soon as he said it, although looking at Yu Fu's data.
He was at the elementary level, had zero points, and seemed to be at the bottom of the ranking, but he still had the authority of a dormitory manager.
Moreover, if it weren't for Yu Fu's curiosity and the fact that he happened to have access to the dormitory management office, he might not have discovered this secret until some time.
Or rather, it will never be discovered at all.
In addition to what Yu Fu said before, he has attended several training camps.
If he was really a student, he should have returned to the real world after all the students graduated.
But in fact, Yu Fu is actually an amnesiac and has no idea what happened in the past.
There are still some possibilities... Ding Can looked over and said, "You can enter the dungeon with us. After you gain points, your stagnant data will change. By then, will there be any new changes?"
For Yu Fu, who knew nothing, this might be a good thing.
Ding Can also noticed that Yu Fu did not have the "Crawling Features" column, which was the only difference between him and them.
But to some extent, for someone like me who only knows garbled characters, it is actually the same situation.
Yu Fu nodded: "I thought so too, but let's wait until next time. I still have some things to finish. Tomorrow is Friday, and I have to upload the report during the day. I can rest on Saturday and Sunday and then I can join you."
At present, it seems that the matter he is investigating privately has not yet alarmed his superiors, otherwise it would not have been possible for it to have not been hindered.
It would be best not to make any mistakes in tomorrow's normal report to avoid the risk of alerting the enemy.
"Okay, having more teammates is a good thing for us, but don't you think it's a coincidence that it was me, someone a little different from the others, who opened your office door?"
Ding Can always felt that this was destined.
Perhaps with Yu Fu, they can all find the answers they want.
"Are you saying it's fate?" People with social anxiety like Yu Fu do spend most of their time daydreaming. In addition, he stays in the office for a long time and never interacts with any students.
For a long time, the only person who could be said to be socializing was Ding Can.
In his wild and imaginative thinking space, there is indeed a small part, and the protagonist there is Ding Can.
The scene of pushing the door open was enough for him to remember for a long time.
When Yu Fu heard the sound coming from the door, he was terrified at first. After seeing Ding Can, for a moment, he felt that he was not particularly uneasy.
Perhaps it was because he was always watching the images of the students outside through the cold monitors and had not seen them in person for too long.
When he saw Ding Can, he actually felt strangely familiar with him.
It seemed that even this office, which he had long considered a lonely place, had become warm.
It is undeniable that Yu Fu does not reject this girl who suddenly appears. In a sense, she is someone he feels he can trust.
But no matter how turbulent his heart was, he would not show it, and his face still looked as aloof as ever.
In Ding Can's opinion, this stiff expression is just a manifestation of social phobia.
Later, he didn't reply to the message because he didn't know how to communicate. Yu Fu was afraid that if he said something wrong, the only person in the building who could talk to him face to face would also stay away from him.
He was thankful for his special identity as a "dormitory manager" because that's why Ding Can kept getting closer to him.
So if asked whether this topic was destined, he would definitely feel that there must be some kind of fate between the two of them.
Yu Fu didn't show any excitement. He just blinked and said cautiously and dignifiedly, "It's possible."
"Then I'm looking forward to our first collaboration in the dungeon. I'll go online first. I'll go to bed early and get up early so I can be full of energy to greet the new day."
Before leaving, Ding Can dropped another bomb.
"By the way, remember to prepare your self-introduction. You have three new friends to meet tomorrow afternoon."
Yu Fu pulled the corners of his mouth, and this time, he really couldn't laugh anymore.
*
It was pitch black in front of me, but I could clearly hear the sound of breathing. It felt like the space here was very small.
Ding Can was sitting on the ground. As soon as he stretched his fingers forward, he touched something in the shape of a flashlight.
After groping for the switch and turning it on, the sudden brightness made her close her eyes tightly. It took her a long time to adjust to the light and see clearly where she was.
The environment was very cramped, and there was a tightly closed door in front of me, as if I was inside a cabinet.
Once you stand up, you risk hitting your head.
Right in front of my eyes, there was a piece of brown paper with slightly curled edges stuck on the cabinet door, with a lot of small words densely written on it.
She moved closer to read what was written on the paper.
TO: You who are trying to escape from the castle
The entire castle is very large, and everyone will reject the appearance of outsiders. Only the cabinet can be hidden. You must carefully read and follow the following simple rules about the cabinet. Only in this way can you hide.
(1) You won’t become one of those victims outside the closet
(2) It is possible to leave the castle
(3) If an accident occurs, at least you can save yourself
With the help of this code, there is a high probability that you will not get hurt or be forced to participate in games that are not fun at all, but it is definitely better than the guy who was so careless that he didn't even see the paper.
Okay, so now, just remember the following terms...
1. Every day from 9:15 to 9:30, 13:15 to 13:30, and 17:15 to 17:30, there will be cleaners responsible for cleaning each room. The castle is very large, so the cleaners are usually very busy and cannot bear to see anyone messing up the room, including the cabinets. However, apart from cleaning, they will not interfere with any other unnecessary matters.
2. Although the owner of the castle is not at home today, he likes quietness. If you bring any items that can make sounds, please be sure to keep them safe.
3. Out of courtesy, when visiting someone's home, you must change your shoes before entering the room. The same applies when going from the cabinet to the room. There are three pairs of leather shoes at the door of the cabinet. The owner of the castle was really worried that someone would walk in with wet soles and dirty the carpet, so he specially prepared them.
4. Black leather shoes are classic and versatile, and you can never go wrong with them.
5. If you have ever had the opportunity to visit a small attic, you must be obsessed with the Mediterranean blue style decoration there, but you have to wear blue leather shoes to echo the overall style.
6. Inaccurate color discrimination is fatal! If you have color blindness, please wear white leather shoes to ensure safety.
7. Please do not stay anywhere except inside the cabinet. If you feel bored, you can try pressing the button at the bottom of the cabinet and go to other rooms to get some fresh air.
8. If you see a servant, leave quickly. If you are spotted by three or more pairs of eyes, kill them without mercy!
9. The front door key is very common and is placed in a place where it can be seen everywhere.
10. Let me emphasize again that the owner is not at home recently.
After reading the last word, Ding Can smoothed the curled edge of the kraft paper with his fingers and noticed that in the lower right corner, there was a little squirrel with its hands in its pockets, which looked more like a casually completed simple drawing.
There were many scratches around the code, representing scribbled responses to it, with different font weights, drawn with different tools, and written by different people:
"Thank you, good man! I like your leather shoes very much, but she was a little too excited, so she accidentally left half a footprint in the room, but don't worry, I have wiped off all the dirt.
JL”
"The attic was really hard to get into, but I'm color blind, so it looked gray and nothing special.
Xiao Shu
“I met a very sweet servant who had very beautiful eyes, like turquoises I have seen in museums.
Darcy
Ding Can read all of this without understanding anything, and roughly understood that he was in a world of ghost stories under a certain specific situation, and escaping from the castle was the ultimate goal.
The four people were separated, but it seemed that Shi Yan and the others should be in another cabinet in the castle.
She quickly found the button mentioned in the rules in the corner. It was a square-shaped protrusion.
Just press it and you can move between different cabinets.
But now is not the time, she needs to find out if there are any clues in the room she is in.
Since it is an ancient castle, it is not surprising to have dozens of rooms. With such a huge workload, I don’t know when I can finish it.
Ding Can put her hand on the cabinet door and with a little force, she could feel the wooden door move slightly. She continued forward, pushed the cabinet door open a crack, and looked out through a very small line of sight.
Across the long room, the first thing she noticed was a retro-style mechanical grandfather clock on the wall opposite her.
The floor clock uses traditional hand-carved wood craftsmanship, and the head is covered with luxurious reliefs.
The more delicate parts are gold-plated. The clock dial is three-dimensional, with an eagle with its wings spread out in the center, and Roman numerals around it.
As for the titanium-plated hammer under the dial, it looks solid at first glance, and appears restrained in elegance.
The room was empty and very quiet, and the sound of the ticking second hand was particularly obvious.
Ding Can couldn't help but notice the time displayed on the dial, nine thirteen.
At this time... she quickly glanced at a rule on the brown paper.
It's almost 9:15, and in two minutes the cleaner will come to clean the room.
There must be no one anywhere in the room we are in now, including the cabinets. We need to leave immediately.
She even vaguely heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.
Ding Can didn't hesitate any longer. He pushed open the cabinet door and walked out with his back bent. After standing up in the room, he didn't have time to look around. He first looked down.
But on the floor in front of the cabinet, there was only a pair of black leather shoes neatly placed.
