Chapter 194 Rules are meant to be broken
[*Don't set a flag!*: I think I know! You're talking about that, right?]
[Is there anyone who can tell me what it is?]
[Isn't it just a few constellation symbols? What can you tell from them?]
[*Don't set a flag!*: 12 symbols, this number, doesn't it remind you of anything?]
[The fragments of the divine staff?!] [No way?!] [Is this true or
not? We haven't read much, big guys, don't lie to us] [How can this dark room be related to the 12 fragments of the divine staff?] [*Don't set a flag!*: I'm not sure, but I've heard other players mention it in high-level dungeons before. There are rumors that in this world, there is a mysterious container composed of 12 runes. It seems to be called... the shell of the divine staff? ] [*Shorty and Fat*: Uh, it’s called the Scabbard of the Divine Staff] [*Don’t set a flag!*: I remember hearing rumors that this thing seemed to have been fabricated by the president of your Ghost Tamer Alliance, right? ] [*Don't set a flag!*: I heard that of the six major guilds, the other five presidents each got a piece of the magic staff fragment, only the Ghost Tamer Alliance did not get one. Your president was anxious, and thought of a bad plan, making up a rumor, saying that this world has a prop called the Scabbard of the Magic Staff, which is some kind of mysterious container with the runes of the 12 constellations engraved on it, which just corresponds to the 12 pieces of the magic staff scattered in the game world] [*Don't set a flag!*: If you collect 12 pieces of the magic staff fragments and put them into the Scabbard of the Magic Staff, there is hope to reforge the A-staff, thus subverting the entire game world] [*Don't set a flag!*: Because of this rumor, the president called on the presidents of the other five major guilds to contribute the fragments in their hands, gather the power of the six major guilds, and try to reforge the magic staff, so that the whole world can be controlled by them] [*Don't set a flag!*: The other five guilds naturally would not respond to his call, they just thought that he couldn't eat the grapes and said the grapes were sour, so he came up with a lame excuse and wanted to steal the fragments] [*Don't set up a flag!*: Later, the Ghost Master Alliance president also got a piece of the magic staff fragment, and he never mentioned the magic staff sheath again, which further confirmed that it was just a rumor] [So, this secret room could be the container called the magic staff sheath? ] [Such an awesome container actually appeared in an intermediate copy? ] [*ygs.qs*: At first glance, it does not make sense, but if you think about it carefully, in fact, it is precisely because it is in the intermediate copy that it has not been found for so long, right? ] [*Short and Fat Boy*: Yes, in fact, although the president no longer mentioned it to the public, he has never given up looking for the magic staff sheath. It's just that we always focus on the advanced map and rarely involve the primary and intermediate maps. This is why we have not found any trace of it until now] [srds, just seeing 12 runes, it doesn't mean anything, right? When I was alive, my classmates played divination cards at school, and there were a lot of these constellation runes in them] [That’s right, this kind of constellation runes, every elementary school girl has a set?] [*ygs.qs*: You are talking about the real world before your death. This is a copy of the game world. The constellation runes on the map are not something you can see casually] [*ygs.qs*: And you see the shape formed by the 12 runes on the door, it is the shape of a long and thick staff. If it is a constellation rune in the card divination, it is rare to deliberately combine into this shape] [*Shorty Boy*: The key is, didn’t you see the housekeeper Jiang Xueying’s reaction after seeing the secret door? ] [*Shorty and Fat*: She is obviously afraid of the dark room, so she threatened Yi Ye Jiu Ci Lang like that] [*Shorty and Fat*: You know, there are almost no props in this game that can make the female ghost so afraid of it just by looking at it] [*Shorty and Fat*: But even so, it's just a guess] [*Shorty and Fat*: There is really no way to determine that the roof is the sheath of the magic rod just by looking at a few constellation runes and the character's reaction] [But after hearing what you said, I think it's safe. This must be the legendary sheath of the magic rod! ] [So, we are really lucky this time? ] [I said, living in the live broadcast room of Big Brother Ye, it must be right] [Fuck! So Big Brother Jiu Ci Lang, he must have guessed that this is the sheath of the magic rod a long time ago, right? ] [No wonder! I was saying why he didn't do the main task well, and he had to insist on finding some hidden units. It turned out to be for this awesome prop! ] [Sure enough, Big Brother Ye has foresight! We are on the first layer, and they are in the atmosphere! ] [dlnb] …
…
Ye Da Lao, who was worshipped by the live broadcast room barrage, stood on a chair and knocked along the gap of the secret door for a long time, and then came to a conclusion: "It can't be opened."
He shrugged, jumped off the chair, looked at the time, and decided to put the matter of this dark room aside for the time being. He had more important things to do.
It is now 9:58, and it will be 10 o'clock in the evening in two minutes.
It's time to go out and look for his target!
Of course, Wen Nan knew very well that Jiang Xueying had instructed that guests were not allowed to leave the room after 10 o'clock during their stay.
But aren’t rules meant to be broken? If Romeo hadn’t climbed over the wall to play the piano downstairs every night, how would he have met his Juliet? If Wen Nan hadn’t left the guest room after the 10 o’clock curfew, how would he have met the little princess who, as the doctor said, would only go out after 10 o’clock?
Wen Nan still understands the basic routines of the love strategy game.
Looking at the time, Wen Nan left the room on time at ten o'clock, put his hands in his pockets, hummed a song, and walked downstairs.
The door to the fifth floor was closed, and no one was seen. The door to the fourth floor was also closed.
Wen Nan was surprised that his members were so well-behaved. Did they really stay in their rooms honestly and not come out during the specified time?
Shaking his head, Wen Nan turned in from the stairs on the fourth floor and prepared to take a look at the staff rooms on both sides.
As soon as he stepped onto the carpet in the corridor, Wen Nan's footsteps paused.
At the end of the corridor, under the dim light of the wall lamp, two girls who looked exactly the same, wearing dresses and pigtails, with pale faces and bleeding from all seven orifices, stared at Wen Nan with a sinister smile.
…
…
[Fuck!] [The green color is protecting us] [The bad thing about staying in this live room for a long time is that you will forget that this is a horror game] [Fuck, I almost died of fright] [No, why did she transform into a ghost? Isn't this the first time this female ghost has appeared? She hasn't met any players before, so why did she automatically show up?] [*Don't set a flag!*: This is a female ghost with a timer trigger. Ten o'clock is the trigger point for the ghost to show up] [Fuck, like a time bomb? There is no way to avoid it?] [Why do you think the house rules require that you cannot leave the room after ten o'clock?] [That's right, only people like Jiujiro who like to commit suicide are still wandering outside] [But these two twin female ghosts are too exciting this time. Is it The Shining? My uncanny valley effect has been stimulated like crazy!] [To be honest, I feel that Jiujiro is going to fail this time. Look, he is standing there and hasn't moved for a long time. Is he scared silly?] [Fear? Is the boss finally afraid of female ghosts? ] …
…
Wen Nan was now in the corridor at the staircase, staring at the two girls at the end for a few seconds, then he came to his senses and chuckled.
He said that he always felt something was strange, and it turned out that the "little princesses" were twins.
It's so rare to see twin sisters who look so alike and dress exactly the same, and they appear in a love strategy game? If his target is one of them, how can he tell which one is the target in the future?
Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, two girls from the opposite side walked towards him. The girl on the right took the initiative to speak: "Brother, are you a guest of the villa?"
Wen Nan nodded, "You are... the hostess here?"
The two girls shook their heads together, in sync like a pendulum. "Sister is the owner of this villa. We are just the boarders she took in out of mercy."
Wen Nan followed the other person's words and asked, "Where is my sister?"
The two girls stopped talking. Their eyes, which were bleeding and had only whites but no pupils, stared straight at Wen Nan.
Wen Nan looked at them calmly, "Is it inconvenient to talk about it?"
The two girls still did not answer his question, but moved closer to him again. When their toes were almost touching the tip of Wen Nan's shoes, they stopped, and then, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed Wen Nan's wrists.
The two girls looked frail, and their fingers, clamped around Wen Nan's wrist, were like iron clamps, squeezing so hard that Wen Nan's bones hurt a little, and a somewhat frightening "click, click" sound was heard.
"Brother, can you accompany us...to relax?"
The girl accompanied carefully and asked.
Wen Nan smiled and nodded, "Of course."
…
…
On the east side of the third floor, room RL.
Xu Dongsheng sat on the ground, his back pressed against the door, his eyes fixed on the window in front of him, his whole body shaking like a ball of chaff.
Just now, he clearly saw a dark shadow flash past outside the window!
It's a ghost! It must be a ghost! I'm afraid it will break in through the window! What should I do? In one of his hands, he tightly grasped a piece of paper. The thin paper was crumpled by him, but he remembered the contents on it clearly without even reading it.
It was a set of check-in instructions, which only contained four simple points of attention:
Don’t touch little Y., don’t touch little P., don’t touch little W.;
Do not leave the guest room after 10 o'clock;
Please do not make loud noises in the corridor;
No touching of the snowflake porcelain!!! It was past ten o'clock, and according to the house rules, he could not leave the room.
However, if he stayed in the guest room, would the shadow outside the window sneak into his room? Thinking of this, Xu Dongsheng trembled and closed his eyes tightly.
He relied on equipment and props to complete all the primary copies, but this intermediate copy locked the equipment column from the beginning.
This was too unfriendly for a level 2 player like him!
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
Xu Dongsheng raised his head and knocked the back of his head against the door, making a dull "dong dong dong" sound. He blew the house rules in his hand weakly to the ground.
The shag carpet on the ground seemed longer, softer, and denser than before, and it also had a warm touch...
……warmth?!
Xu Dongsheng was so frightened that he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He suddenly opened his eyes and found that a tuft of orange hair had stretched out from the crack of the door where he was sitting at some point!
"ah!"
He cried out in fright, jumped up from the ground, took a few steps back, and retreated to the bedside. Then he stopped and looked vigilantly towards the crack in the door.
The tuft of orange hair just now shrank back with a "whoosh".
After a while, a very soft cry came from outside the door: "Meow~"
Cat? Orange cat?
"Little Y., don't run around." Immediately afterwards, a female voice came in.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
When Xu Dongsheng heard the name, his face turned pale.
Little Y.? What just came through the crack in the door was Little Y.'s tail? So, he accidentally touched Little Y.?! Xu Dongsheng stretched out his hand tremblingly, staring at his palm, as if he was petrified.
"Huh."
There was a breathing sound next to his ear, very close, as if it was right behind him.
Xu Dongsheng turned around stiffly and saw a long-tongued female ghost with purple skin, a broken neck and her head tilted to one side standing in front of him!
"ah--!"
Xu Dongsheng couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed out of the door in fear, closing his eyes tightly, following his instinct, he felt his way to the stairs, and then climbed all the way up, shouting:
"President! Help!"
"...Xu Dongsheng?"
Just after climbing one floor, I heard the familiar voice of the president coming from the corridor.
Xu Dongsheng stopped and opened his eyes as if he had met a savior. "Great—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw two identical female ghosts standing on the left and right of the president...
"ah--!"
Xu Dongsheng completely collapsed and turned around and ran downstairs.
He closed his eyes tightly, stretched out his hands, wailed all the way, and ran forward with his head down.
He didn't know how long he had been running when his hand suddenly touched something cold and hard. He shivered in fear and retracted his hand. Then -
Crash!
The crisp sound of porcelain breaking reached my ears.
Xu Dongsheng opened his eyes and realized that he had run to the restaurant door without knowing when.
He accidentally smashed one of the two long-necked vases at the entrance into pieces.
Looking at the snowflake porcelain fragments scattered on the ground, Xu Dongsheng fell into despair.
It's over! It's all over now!
He violated all four items written in the accommodation instructions...
That housekeeper will definitely not let him go!
Thinking of this, Xu Dongsheng collapsed to the ground, looking straight ahead with empty eyes. However, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in his peripheral vision.
He shuddered with fear and turned around to see Jiang Xueying lying straight beside him.
ghost?!
Xu Dongsheng was so scared that he turned around and was about to run, but in his mind, he heard a system prompt sound -
WC: [A murder case has been detected near you. Do you want to report it? ]
Murder?
Xu Dongsheng turned back in disbelief and looked at the housekeeper who was lying on the ground with her back facing up.
She... is dead?!
