Role
When the two arrived, there were already three people waiting in the castle. He Lizhou's eyes moved slightly and he looked at the three of them one by one.
One was a big man with a thick beard and sharp eyes shone from under his equally thick eyebrows. His whole body had such a charming temperament that one could tell at a glance that he was a player.
One was a girl wearing Miao clothes, her belly exposed, and a thin snake quickly flashed behind her neck.
There was another person who obviously was a new player. His face was pale, his eyes were filled with fear, his body was stiff, and he looked at the two new players uneasily.
The first thing Xu Zian noticed was the third new player. He moved closer to him, almost face to face, "What's with that expression? Weren't we having a good chat when we got here? Are you scared?"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room looked at him. His expression became even uglier, and he almost squeezed out his answer through his teeth, "No..."
Because of Xu Zian's appearance, everyone in the castle was unsure of his identity, and even He Lizhou who came with him was mistaken by them as a companion.
He Lizhou then realized that he was probably dragged onto Xu Zian's pirate ship in advance. No matter what happened later, the players would think that He Lizhou and Xu Zian came together, so they must be in the same group.
He Lizhou was a little amused. He didn't dislike this kind of thing at all. Even Sheng Ju was able to "depend" on him only by using his cleverness. In such a dangerous place, it was a skill to be able to quickly find reliable allies.
Xu Zian retreated back and stood next to He Lizhou. "There are five of us now. How many of you said you wanted to come?"
The voices that answered him came from different angles. They were the big man, the Miao girl, and He Lizhou. The new player hadn't recovered yet and said nothing. "Nine."
Nine, Xu Zian thought, stroking his chin. There should be NPCs here, not all of them are players. He turned his eyes to the Miao girl, as if he was considering whether this person was a player or an NPC, but was caught by her and glared back at her.
Xu Zian smiled back and turned his attention to He Lizhou, "Friend, why did you walk here? Is your home close?"
This wild forest...
He Lizhou shook his head, "The driver was scared and didn't dare to take me here."
He only said this and didn't say anything else. Xu Zian didn't feel embarrassed and continued to ask questions with interest. Even though he pretended to be very thorough, He Lizhou could still sense the temptation from the topics he asked.
Xu Zian is trying to find out if he is an NPC.
Before He Lizhou could respond, someone walked in from the door of the castle. Because there was no lighting in the castle and no one closed the door, it was easy to see that there were four people coming this time.
Everyone is here.
The atmosphere in the castle immediately changed subtly. Everyone's face showed varying degrees of importance. Even Xu Zian became serious.
The system's announcement soon sounded, "All game players have arrived. We will reserve five minutes for you to get to know each other as quickly as possible. The performance will begin on time in five minutes."
What?
Before He Lizhou could hear the last sentence of the system clearly, the broadcast had already ended. He glanced at the others, but saw no hesitation on their faces, so he remained silent and did not ask any questions.
Xu Zian is the one who livens up the scene. "My online name is my real name, Zian Zian."
Others followed suit.
Big man: "Zhao."
Miao girl: "Jiang Jiang."
New player: "Uh... uh uh, Chen Ling, my name is Chen Ling."
Fortunately, He Lizhou took a look at their chat interface, "Shadow."
Xu Zian couldn't help laughing, maybe because he thought the name was very childish. He Lizhou thought so too, but now he had become the childish person, so he could only keep a straight face and continue to add, "You can call me by my name, Xiao He."
The others nodded and quickly turned their attention to the four newcomers.
"Dongping."
"Xiang Qian."
"Sun Hanqi."
"Bai Li Yi."
I don’t know if these are real names or just temporary names, but these names are not names in the group. He Lizhou blinked his eyelashes lightly and didn’t say much.
However, Xu Zian also laughed, and I don’t know what he was laughing at.
The big man Uncle Zhao also glanced at Xu Zian with a look of disgust in his eyes. He Lizhou suspected that Uncle Zhao had never met a young man like Xu Zian. Uncle Cui also didn't understand Sheng Ju for a while.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start as we agreed."
He Lizhou had studied hard before and knew what this was talking about, so he looked around silently. Except for the new player Chen Ling, everyone else's expressions were normal.
Uncle Zhao probably didn't see anything either, so he didn't keep it a secret. "What did you bring? You can protect yourself. There are many rooms in the castle that can be used as accommodation. You can rest during the day and summon spirits at night. What are your plans for the first night?"
Su Zian crossed his arms, "I suggest starting as soon as possible."
There was nothing wrong with finishing early and leaving early, and everyone agreed.
Uncle Zhao smiled with satisfaction, "Then put your luggage in the room. If you are afraid to sleep in the room, sleep in the hall. We will meet in the hall in half an hour."
Everyone went their separate ways to choose bedrooms, and the new player Chen Ling, after randomly looking at a bedroom, began to look back at the hall hesitantly.
He Lizhou saw what he was thinking and reminded him, "The hall is always busy."
Chen Ling understood the meaning of this sentence and didn't even dare to look at He Lizhou any longer. He hurriedly stuffed himself into the room.
He Lizhou looked at him a few more times, sighed, and chose the room next to him.
Xu Zian was also nearby and smiled again, "You are very kind."
This sentence was on the verge of He Lizhou's character collapsing. He Lizhou quickly put on a stern face and said, "What's wrong with you?" This saved his shaky character.
He Lizhou gritted his teeth in his heart, wishing he could tear Xu Zian's smiling face apart.
This room is in keeping with the classic European style of the castle and is extremely gorgeous. If it weren’t for its age, it would be a perfect match for the luxurious decoration of the castle in everyone’s mind.
He Lizhou took a quick look around and found that there was no electricity or water. Fortunately, he bought mouthwash and disinfectant wipes at a convenience store.
He did not sleep on the big bed, and even rolled up the fluffy carpet on the floor, raising a cloud of dust. Finally, he spread the picnic mat he brought with him on the ground. He did not put down his backpack, but kept it on his back at all times.
After a simple tidy up, half an hour had passed. He Lizhou pushed the door open and went back to the hall to gather.
Chen Ling was the last to arrive. His face looked even worse and his body smelled like vomit, probably because he had vomited once.
Xiang Qian rolled her eyes and said to Chen Ling without hesitation, "This rat has such courage. I think he will be the first to die."
After he finished speaking, Dong Ping beside him patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be careful with your words."
Xiang Qian shut up, but her eyes were still not very friendly when she looked at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling lowered his head silently.
Uncle Zhao looked around at everyone. Xu Zian folded his arms and looked at Uncle Zhao. Their eyes met, and it was unknown whether they had reached some tacit understanding. Uncle Zhao stepped forward and became the leader who presided over the overall situation.
He Lizhou was seriously injured in the previous copy. Even though his body looked much better now, his spirit could not sustain long-term and intensive thinking, so he gladly accepted Uncle Zhao's leadership.
Uncle Zhao: "We came to this ancient castle to find out the truth about what happened here a hundred years ago. We have all gathered here from various places. Those who are capable should use their own unique skills to gather the truth!"
Xu Zian responded in a supportive manner.
The parallel world and the truth about the ancient castle.
He Lizhou couldn't help but connect the main line of the copy with the current main line. There was no connection between them. Could it be that they would enter the time and space of a hundred years ago in the process of exploring the main line?
The crowd did not disperse, and everyone looked confused. Just when everyone was confused and hesitant, He Lizhou suddenly heard a voice prompt.
It's not the electronic sound of the system, it's a real human voice.
"He Lizhou, go and secretly frame them! If you don't trip them up now, what will you do when they become famous?"
He Lizhou almost suspected that he was hallucinating, but when he looked over, he saw indescribable expressions slowly appearing on everyone's faces, and he knew that he was not the only one who received the voice message.
This is too outrageous!
He Lizhou couldn't help but complain that the character he played was a selfish little person, which could be seen from the diary, but if he was really asked to frame the players, he would not be able to do it.
He has always been unwilling to see scenes of infighting, but the role chosen for him by the system is really challenging to human nature.
The urging voice in his ears became more and more urgent, and everyone gradually dispersed. It seemed that they followed the prompt of the voice in his ears. He Lizhou thought about it and took out a rope from his backpack.
He took the lead and walked into the room of new player Chen Ling.
No one knew where Chen Ling had gone. He Lizhou stood in his room and saw that the bed had been crushed. So he simply picked up all the bedding, tied them into a ball, took them to the third floor and threw them into the utility room.
The voice in my ear was still talking, "Is this the 'evil thing' you did? You have such a poor understanding ability!"
He Lizhou didn't know how to reply, so he tried to say in his mind, "Not letting him sleep well and causing mistakes at night, isn't that the most invisible way to kill people?"
After he finished speaking, the voice disappeared. I don’t know if it was because of the effect of He Lizhou’s words.
However, after no one was chattering in his ears, the world became quiet and He Lizhou was in the mood to travel around.
When he was in the room, he saw the garden at the back. The trees there were still lush and green, covering half of the sky, but some of the flowers were withered.
He Lizhou did not see any traces of fire or smoke, or mold spots from floods in the room, which means that what happened a hundred years ago might not be a natural disaster but a man-made disaster, and the garden was a high-incidence area for man-made disasters.
When He Lizhou arrived at the garden, he happened to see Xu Zian coming out from deep inside. His face and body were covered with a bunch of leaves and dead flowers, and there was a fishy smell of fresh soil. He was completely different from the playboy he had been when they first met.
