Chapter 101 "The Witch's Kaleidoscope" 24 I am his younger brother...
Return to your own copy from the past time and space.
The blessing fell to the ground, and everything around was dark.
His guess was indeed correct. In the context of the plot, none of them could escape death. The original owner was most likely to have committed suicide.
But he didn't commit suicide to get out. Instead, he was released directly and then imprisoned in another place.
But the only question now is what does the background have to do with him, as he somehow got blamed by the original owner.
Zhu Ci wanted to take out a flashlight from the space, but when he opened it, he found that the props in the backpack were several times more than before, including several life-saving props, not to mention the pair of candles.
If I had known that he would light the candle directly in the diary, I might not have been deceived.
But now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much.
Zhuci used the flashlight to illuminate the surroundings. It would have been fine if he hadn't shone it, but once he did, it was almost fatal.
The body was placed against the wall, and the flashlight shone in a circle, revealing every part of it.
Zhu Ci got goosebumps all over his body. Wasn't he surrounded by corpses?
As soon as he turned off the lights, he fell into unknown terror.
Zhuci thought for a moment, then took out the candle and lit it.
The red candles were lit, and the weak, dim light illuminated the entire room.
This was not the first time I had used this item, and its ability to see through illusions came in handy this time.
Zhu Ci watched as the corpses by the wall turned into several bloody names, like horrible sacrificial symbols.
Zhuci knew without much effort that this was a death list of people the original owner had killed.
He fumbled around with the candle and found a door that seemed impossible to open from the inside.
Zhuci was silent for a while and went to find his diary.
The diary was indeed in his hand. He merged all the diaries, but the system did not respond at all.
Greetings: "Is there a bug?"
【“Well, now those people outside who are saying it’s unfair should shut up. This is obviously fair.”
"Indeed, all players are equally unable to leave the host's copy."
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't tell me, they will meet soon."】
Other players are also trying hard to survive, looking for the background story of this copy in the hope of finding a way out.
This door doesn't even have a keyhole, so it would probably take some effort to open it. Zhu Ci was thinking about how to get out when he suddenly heard a rustling sound outside.
"What's behind this door?"
"I don't know. Be careful."
"How can I open it without a key?"
“It took a lot of effort to get here.”
…
Obviously, the people outside should be other players.
If this door were opened, would any of them recognize him?
Zhu Ci was thinking about his next move, but the people outside had already started to pry the door open.
"What key are you looking for? Wouldn't it be suicide if you go back?"
"Will this anger the monster?"
…
While the people outside were trying to pry the door open, Zhu Ci opened the system space and spent 100,000 points to fine-tune his face.
[“Is the anchor also afraid of being discovered?”
"Wow, face pinching is so expensive, and that's how he used it."
"There's nothing we can do about it. These are the points given by everyone. Just treat them as you please."
"Even if he is discovered, the other party may not recognize him."】
…
The points rewarded to the anchor will be settled with interest after each game victory, but only a small part of it can be returned if you die.
Zhu Ci transformed himself into another person, but these players seemed to be a bit useless and they couldn't pry the door open after trying for a long time.
[“Wait, what’s wrong with the host’s face?”
"??? Ah, does the boss know that you stole his face?"
"Hmm? What does the anchor want to do?"
Yes, Zhu Ci's current face was modeled after Shen Qingming's, but he didn't expect that this door would be so difficult to pry open.
The players outside seemed to be deflated, and the clanging sound of tools falling to the ground could be heard from outside.
"No, I can't open it. What should I do?"
"How would I know what to do? Let's go. Let's look somewhere else."
"Go back? Are you serious?"
After saying this, there was another silence outside. Zhu Ci knew that something incredible might be waiting for them outside, so they didn't want to go back.
But if they leave, Zhu Ci will probably have to stay here for a long time.
He suddenly remembered that he still had a □□.
Zhu Ci knocked on the door.
This instantly aroused the vigilance of the players outside.
"Who, who's in there?"
Several players looked at each other and retreated in panic.
Zhuci thought about whether he should change his voice, but it was probably too late to change now.
"Are you here to save me?" Zhuci asked in a joyful tone.
"Who are you? Why are you in there?" Bao Yuan was one of the players. When he suddenly heard such a strange voice, he couldn't help but ask.
"Ah? Aren't you here to save me?"
The other players looked at each other and thought for a moment, perhaps this was a living NPC in this dungeon.
"Yes, we are here to save you. But we won't save you in vain." said one of the women.
The voice from inside the door said, "I won't let your rescue be in vain. I discovered the secret here. A terrible monster has locked me up."
"What secret?"
"No, you have to rescue me first."
The woman frowned: "How can we save you?"
"The key is in my hand. I'll give it to you through the crack in the door." Zhu Ci said as he took out the key. However, the key opened the door randomly, so he was not worried that these players would run away with the key. After all, they didn't dare to go back.
[“The anchorman’s face turned red but his heart didn’t beat when he lied. Can a lie detector be used on him?”
“It’s hard to say, but these players are probably going to be fooled.”
"I got fooled for the second time. Tsk tsk tsk, what a disgrace."】
Zhu Ci felt around for a while and found that all doors have gaps, otherwise the friction when opening the door would be too great and damage the door.
He locked the prop's panel and handed it off.
Song Xiaoyi took the key and showed it to the other players, who then all thought it was fine.
"Why are you at this door?" she asked instead of rushing to open the door.
"He was arrested."
"Why were you arrested?"
"I... came here to look for my brother. By the way, have you ever met my brother? He looks exactly like me."
Another man asked, "Who caught you?"
"It's a... scary thing. I can't see it clearly. Please let me out."
"How did you get this key?"
Zhu Ci patiently replied: "I wanted to escape, but I couldn't. I also forgot, but it seems that this is the last key."
The copy information does not have to be given clearly. If it is vague, it will be more like an NPC.
"Crack."
The heavy door in front of Zhuci was pushed open.
Several players took a look at his appearance and asked suspiciously, "Is this really a human?"
Zhu Ci frowned: "What do you mean?"
"It's okay. Do you know how to get out?" Song Xiaoyi said, glancing at the wall.
Several people searched the house.
Bao Yuanzheng suddenly shouted: "How come these ghostly drawings are all exactly the same?"
Zhu Ci also turned around in surprise and looked at the wall.
Because of the blood flowing, the specific names cannot be seen, but the outlines are exactly the same.
"It sounds like someone else's name." Song Xiaoyi said.
The players looked at the speech.
Congratulations: “…” Fortunately, this face is naturally smiling.
"I don't know about that. I was only locked up for a day or two. Otherwise, I would have starved to death."
"One or two days?" Several players looked at each other.
Zhu Ci asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's OK."
"Then let's go out and talk about it." Zhu Ci said.
"Wait, there's danger outside." Song Xiaoyi stopped him, "Tell me about your relationship with the owner of this room first."
These people were alert. Zhu Ci looked at her a few more times, then made up an identity of Shen Qingming's younger brother and broke down the original story and told it again in the third person.
"I finally found this place, but... I seem to have forgotten a lot of things."
"Wait, isn't your tone too calm?" Bao Yuanzheng asked.
Congratulations: "..."
He frowned hard and said through gritted teeth, "Calm? Try to imagine how it feels to be locked up here and unable to get out? I can't even cry later."
"Muscle paralysis?" asked another.
[“I laughed so hard that my muscles became paralyzed.”
"Acting skills also depend on talent. If anchors enter the entertainment industry, they will only be called vases."
"Why am I so calm? Because I'm just reciting lines, hahaha."】
Song Xiaoyi said, "Okay, no matter what, let's take him to Boss to see what's going on."
Some plots have to be triggered by special NPCs.
Congratulations: "..."
He is not sure how to get out now. He should indeed meet her, but it is hard to say what will happen after that.
What should we do?
Several players came up to pull him up.
Cheers: "Wait, I'm a little scared."
"What are you afraid of? You look very calm." Bao Yuanzheng said.
"Maybe that boss is your brother." said another person.
Speech: “…” What a hellish joke, this joke is now backfiring on him.
However, Zhu Ci looked back at the dark secret room and realized that staying here was definitely not a good choice.
The candle in his hand went out, and the name on the wall disappeared in the darkness.
…
After some modification, this copy can become independent and become a copy with a very high mortality rate.
After going out, Zhu Ci saw the light again, but at the same time, the strong smell of blood made it difficult for him to breathe.
He had never entered this room, but the floor was covered in blood.
Now is not the time to pay attention to this. It's quiet, too quiet.
Song Xiaoyi turned around and made a quiet gesture to them.
In fact, they discovered the secret passage here by accident, and they had stored food in the space before, which enabled them to hold on until they found the blessing.
I stood at the door of the aisle and looked out.
There was no bloody scene outside as he had imagined. The room was spotlessly clean, with soft lighting. Everything was the same as when he left.
You can't see the whole scene outside from this angle. Only by adjusting the angle can you vaguely see the figures of a few people.
Zhu Ci was just thinking about whether to stick his head out when he suddenly felt a force from behind, pushing him towards the door.
There was a sound of "dong".
Zhu Ci was grabbing at the door. Fortunately, he was prepared and was not pushed out. However, when he looked back, he happened to meet the eyes of several players.
They stared at him with seemingly malicious intent.
Congratulations: "..."
