Faced with this guy's aggressiveness, Xiao Tangqiu's eyes couldn't help but sink. Although this guy was completely making up nonsense based on his imagination, there was one thing he didn't dare to confirm - the monster's original target of killing last night was indeed him and Tang Mianmian, but they were rescued by Shen Yuan in the middle. Could it be because of this that the monster changed its target and killed one of the four old players?
Tang Mianmian didn't think as much as Xiao Tangqiu did. He glared at the guy and said, "Did you see it last night or something? If you have the guts, show us the evidence! Otherwise, you're just slandering me!"
The guy choked for a moment, then he shouted, "If it wasn't you, then why didn't you die even though the candles at your door were clearly extinguished? Explain it to me!"
Xiao Tangqiu said calmly: "Because an old player saved us."
The guy snorted coldly, seemingly unconvinced: "Why should I help you for no reason?"
Tang Mianmian rolled her eyes: "None of your business!"
That guy seemed unconvinced and wanted to say something, but was held down by other newcomers. Although the four veteran players who looked very powerful had not said anything yet, it was obviously unwise for them as newcomers to offend veteran players... The key point was that even if these two people were really related to that person's death, there was no need for them, the newcomers, to stand up for others!
Compared to that guy's inexplicable indignation, the three veteran players whose companions had died didn't react much. It wasn't clear if they didn't believe him or if they had become numb to their companions' deaths. WwWx520xs.
In short, after this incident, this group of people, who were not very united to begin with, became even more chaotic and divided into several small groups, which were visibly divided. The relationships between them became even more rigid, and it seemed that everyone was suspicious of others and everyone was wary of others.
Even when they were having breakfast, they remained silent. No one took the initiative to speak, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Xiao Tangqiu felt a little uncomfortable at first, but he soon succeeded in comforting himself. This group of people had their own ulterior motives. Even without him and Tang Mianmian, they would soon fall apart. What happened this morning was just a catalyst.
When they were about to finish breakfast, the middle-aged woman finally came. She still did not take the little boy downstairs. She picked up the breakfast on the table and turned around to go back to her room.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly asked, "Where's your son?"
The middle-aged woman seemed startled and looked at Xiao Tangqiu warily: "Why are you asking this!" Although her face was full of vigilance, she couldn't help but reveal a guilty look.
Before Xiao Tangqiu could reply, the young man who liked to challenge Xiao Tangqiu spoke again: "Why do you care about other people's sons?! I think you have ulterior motives! You're looking for a scapegoat again!"
Seeing someone stand up for her, the middle-aged woman immediately put away her guilty conscience and angrily cursed, "Stay away from my son! Don't let me see you in front of my son! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips and hesitated. Even if he exposed the middle-aged woman in public as not the boy's mother, what would it matter? In such a dangerous place, he and Tang Mianmian were already struggling to protect themselves, so how could they possibly protect a child?
Seeing that Xiao Tangqiu stopped talking, the middle-aged woman was still cursing, and the young man looked smug, as if he felt that he had successfully exposed some big conspiracy. But at this moment, Shen Yuan suddenly put down his knife and fork and stood up.
The knife and fork collided with each other, making a crisp sound. Although the sound was not loud, the middle-aged woman was still frightened by Shen Yuan's aura and fell silent. The young man did not dare to be proud anymore and could only stare at Shen Yuan blankly.
Shen Yuan didn't even glance at the two men, but simply said to his teammates, "It's time to set off."
At his command, Duan Hongzhen and the two girls stood up in unison. The four of them had such an extraordinary aura that they immediately intimidated everyone at the long table who had different thoughts, making them dare not even breathe.
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and stood up. They had originally planned to go to Dimon Town with Shen Yuan and others today.
"Where are you going?" someone asked cautiously.
Xiao Tangqiu did not hide it: "Dimon Town."
"Dimon Town?" The newcomers looked at each other and quickly remembered where it was. It was the town once ravaged by demons! These people were absolutely crazy! Going to that dangerous place!
Just as they were shocked, Lu Si'er also stood up carefully.
Seeing this, the female office worker immediately shouted, "Lu Si'er, don't go! It's too dangerous!"
The five new girls all lived in the same room, and they had obviously exchanged names to get familiar with each other.
"Yes! It's too dangerous to go out! Si'er, you should stay!" Another girl also tried to persuade.
The middle-aged man who looked like a leader frowned slightly: "Lu Sier, do you want to go with them?"
Lu Sier gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I want to go with them."
"Why? Although it's dangerous inside the castle, it's even more dangerous outside," the middle-aged man seemed a little unhappy. "It's too dangerous for a girl like you to run out. You'd better stay here!"
He didn't know whether he was looking for a scapegoat or was dissatisfied with others challenging his authority as a leader, so he habitually gave orders: "Lu Si'er, you can't go!"
The young man also said in a cold tone: "Yes, although you are a girl, if you encounter any danger, I am afraid they will not be able to take care of you..."
Shen Yuan ignored the bickering of these newcomers. After giving the order, he turned around and left.
Naturally, his three teammates followed immediately. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other. Although they had acted together with Lu Sier yesterday, they couldn't care less about others now, so they turned around and left.
Soon, they arrived at the door.
Shen Yuan stood in front of the door, staring at the castle gate with deep eyes.
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly: "Can the door of this castle be opened? In the copy we experienced before, many buildings cannot be left once entered... unless all the story missions are completed..." Just like all horror puzzle games, unless you reach the final ending, there is no way to leave the place where the story takes place.
Duan Hongzhen explained with a grin, "If it can't be opened now, it means there are no plot clues outside, or we haven't triggered the corresponding conditions yet."
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly realized that opening the door was a way to verify their plot progress! So, can the gate of this castle be opened?
