Chapter 13 "Father and Son" Get me for free?
"Brother Ci, are you talking about the candle from yesterday? I got it after the first game. I don't know the specific impact it will have. The system just said that I might see special people and go to special places." Xu An explained.
After hearing his words, Zhuci hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Where did you go with the white candle yesterday?"
Xu An lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm a little scared, I'll hurry back to my room."
Zhuci returned the red candle to him: "Okay."
"But, Brother Ci, I found a body in the corridor." Xu An whispered, "I was scared to death. There was something glowing on the body that blinded my eyes."
Isn't that nonsense? If someone died last night, how could there be no body? As for the glowing things, it is probably the metal accessories worn by the player, reflecting light.
Zhu Ci nodded, suppressed the sense of disobedience in his heart, put Shen Wu aside, and took out the strange booklet he picked up yesterday.
The cover of the booklet was made of some kind of animal leather, and the text on the cover was very strange, with every stroke of the font twisted like a strange worm.
A feeling of uneasiness came over me.
Zhu Ci opened the booklet. Naturally, he could not understand the contents below. However, there was a strange pattern engraved on it, which reminded him of the strange plaster statue he had seen last night.
This seems to be the pattern on the back of the plaster statue.
He continued to flip through the pages.
There are diagrams at the back, which seem to describe in detail how to offer sacrifices to the devil.
The text was too distorted, so Zhu Ci put the booklet back into the system.
The system does not provide any introduction to this booklet.
Maybe now, he still can't know what the use is.
"Sacrificial offering."
The name the system gave him is really interesting.
"Brother Ci, what is this? What should we do next?" Xu asked secretly.
They are in room 210 at the moment.
Zhu Ci gave up room 211 last night, but he was just joking. Seeing that the ghost was so eager to break in, he gave the room away.
But even if he doesn't give it.
Room 211 was opened from the inside by him using his crutch. If there were other monsters that could come and go freely through that door, then room 211 would not be very safe.
Zhu Ci thought for a moment and said, "Let's see if we can destroy the plaster statues and paintings in the corridor."
The door opening last night killed two players, but it seems that only the person who opened the door will die.
Xu An swallowed his saliva and said, "Such a dangerous mission? Do you think they will move during the day?"
Zhu Ci said: "Go out and take a look, and you will know."
He stood up and left the room.
There were three missing plaster statues in the corridor, and when I went out, Li Hang and his friends were also in the corridor.
"What are you doing?" Xu asked secretly.
"Looking for clues, are you guys too?" Mo Anan asked.
Zhuci walked to one of them, took out the crutch he had snatched from the wax monster yesterday, and poked the plaster head. There was no reaction, but there was a cut on the neck of the plaster, as if it could be separated. He pulled the plaster head out by the roots and turned around to take a look.
There were no marks on the back of the neck of the plaster head from last night.
Zhu Ci then went on to pull out the heads, and soon there was a pile of heads on the ground.
"What are you doing..." The woman in black looked at his actions and was slightly surprised.
After all, they agreed not to destroy the places in the game at will, and tried their best to act according to the identity given by the system, otherwise they would attract the attention of ghosts.
"Found it." Zhu Ci said.
"What did you find?" Li Hang asked.
Zhu Ci raised the plaster head in his hand and pointed its broken end at these people.
This move shocked everyone.
The wound was surrounded by plaster, but inside was flesh and blood that was still wriggling and contracting. The blood vessels and muscles inside were like malicious insects, making people feel cold.
There is a logo from the booklet on the back of Zhu Ci's neck, but when he looked carefully, it was the opposite.
"Are these real people?" Xu thought secretly.
Zhu Ci said: "It is very likely that it is our teammate who died yesterday."
He said these words with a blank expression, and then put all his thoughts back.
[“Damn, the anchor is so brave.”
"What major did this new guy study? Medicine or criminology?"
"He's a head-pulling maniac. He feels like a broadcaster digging someone's grave without batting an eyelid."
"Teammate: Are you polite?"
"He also knew to put them back one by one. He was polite, but not much."
"The anchor is pretending that he didn't do anything, hahaha."
"It's not right, but why did the anchor think of pulling out his head, and when can he cry for me?"
"The one upstairs, put away your dirty thoughts."】
"Why is there only one head?" asked the woman in black.
Zhu Ci said: "Have you forgotten that there is a boiling brain in the dream?"
in the pan.
Will they die in the dream?
Zhuci personally experienced this last night. If you violate certain murder conditions, you will die.
These plaster heads were all carved from the same mold. Zhu Ci exchanged it for a paintbrush in the mall and made a mark on this special head.
Next up is oil painting.
These paintings did not change much last night, it was just that Zhuci fell into an illusion.
With the demonstration of the congratulatory speech, Li Hang also took down the painting and turned it over.
There really was something hidden behind the painting, but only the painting next to 211 had a white letter.
"Thank you, brother. I finally got back to my bed. Can you help bring the others back? Although I have no money now, they will repay you."
This sentence had no beginning or end, and was unsigned, so basically no one understood it. However, at this moment, the system suddenly popped up and sent a message.
[Key item detected, opening the branch line - "Go Home". Player congratulations. Plot exploration progress: 15%]
Congratulations: "..."
When the teammates heard that the side quest was opened, their expressions were still ecstatic. A side quest in a dungeon is a way to obtain high-level items. However, the system later singled out Zhuci as the progress of the plot exploration had changed, and they immediately turned their doubtful looks on Zhuci.
It turned out that Zhuci had been hiding something from them.
[“Hahaha, the system is so deceptive. It directly alienated the relationship between the anchor and his teammates that he had worked so hard to improve.”
"It's terrible, but it's good that the newcomer can help you. You still want others to tell you everything. That's just greedy."
"Hey? So what did the anchor know?"】
…
Xu secretly said: "Brother Ci guessed it himself. If you can guess it, you can guess it yourself."
Zhu Ci shook his head and spoke before they started arguing, telling them that he had found Lin Xiaole's badge last night.
"The reason I said this is because there are only six of us now, and I have no experience with what's going to happen next. Besides, it was really just an accident," he said.
Zhuci discovered much more in one night than the others had discovered in all their suffering.
Li Hang also knew that now was not the time to worry about this. The reward for this branch quest should be some special props. Instead of thinking about infighting, he might as well do the mission.
"You have attracted a lot of firepower now. The goblins may target you. You'd better be careful." He said to Zhuci.
[“It’s so funny! If the anchor had been more careful, you would all be dead.”
"What a brilliant plan! Isn't it just to keep the host away from the limelight? Is he afraid that the host will steal his props?"
"When they were conspiring a few times before, they completely excluded the anchor."
"But what he said is also true. The host attracts a lot of hatred."】
Zhu Ci glanced at him and said nothing, but walked downstairs.
Xu An followed, and surprisingly, Mo Anan also followed.
After they walked out, Xu An finally spoke up: "Brother Ci, why did you tell them everything and let them take advantage of you for free?"
Zhu Ci showed a puzzled expression when he heard this: "You want to get my favor for free?"
[“Hahahahaha…”
"What a freeloader! How did you get it for free?"
"This is so funny, can this teammate please explain himself more clearly?"】
…
Xu An coughed, looked at Zhu Ci's beautiful and cold face, and slightly looked away.
"I meant information."
Zhu Ci did not react much to hearing this, and said calmly: "It's not a big deal to make the information public. I'm just afraid that even if we know the news, we won't be able to do anything about it."
The young man was walking alone in front. Xu An looked at his back and his mouth widened slowly. He wondered, how did Zhu Ci do it? He was so cool.
She's obviously not very old, has a harmless-looking face, and is not as tall as himself, but she looks like... his destined golden thigh!
Mo Anan caught up from behind and called out to Zhu Ci.
"Congratulations, thank you for last night."
Zhu Ci stopped walking again, his expression showing a hint of helplessness: "It's okay, your brother gave me a lot of points."
Mo Anan smiled awkwardly.
【“I thought the anchor was so handsome just a second ago, but now I see he is really a straight man.”
“No, the anchor is bent.”
"Hahahaha, beautiful girls who cry easily should be bullied!"
"…Have you read too many posts above? This is a survival game, not some weird play."】
"Hehe, my brother, he doesn't have anything else but a lot of money." Mo Anan lowered his head and said in a whisper.
Zhuci seemed to realize that she might be about to make some special request. Usually, people would only be so timid when it was difficult to say something.
【“A lot of money? Ah, I want a lot of money too.”
"What is Mo An'an talking about? His brother wouldn't want to...steal her love by force."】
"Um……"
"So, my brother said, let this copy of me follow you, is that okay?" Mo Anan said.
Xu An looked at them and turned his head away. Oh, it turned out to be another person who wanted to cling to him.
Zhu Ci paused for a moment and said, "This is my first time playing this game."
"It's okay. I think you're great." Mo Anan smiled slightly. She looked well-behaved, like the type of girl next door, and it was hard to refuse her.
"Besides, I didn't come here with much hope."
