Chapter 75 Excuse me, have you seen it? It is a dream that rots at night...
[The copy "Hide and Seek" has been loaded. The number of players in this copy is: fifty. ]
[Excuse me, have you seen it? ]
[It is a rotting dream at night, a red lantern hanging high, and a dark shadow whose face cannot be seen under the street lamp. It hides behind the smiling plastic mannequins in the mall, it crawls into the shrunken doll clothes in the playground, it hides in the desk after school——]
【It is right beside you. 】
[Please - please players...%&) copy_..%#(J found...]
The system's mechanical sound suddenly made a sharp hissing sound, and the broadcast was mixed with some meaningless sounds that made it difficult to hear the content, as if there was some malfunction in the system.
What did you find?
Something went wrong with the copy?
At this time, Cecia was still suffering from the aftereffects of the copy transmission. Everything in front of her eyes was dark, she couldn't see anything, and she felt dizzy.
The noise from the system became more and more serious, and the harsh sound exploded in her head, eventually turning into a noise similar to the collision of iron objects, and she could not hear a word.
[Dear players, I'm sorry that the data of "House of Truth" was messed up just now. The system will re-supply the dungeon rules for you. ]
The chaos lasted for two minutes before the system announcement sounded again.
This time the voice of the broadcast is less mechanical and more vivid, closer to the feeling of human speech.
[This place is made up of countless rooms, and "it" is hiding in one of them, and has taken over the identity of the room's owner. When the player finds it, it means that the dungeon has been successfully cleared. ]
[If the player thinks he has found it, please say to it: "I found you". If the player makes a mistake and says this to someone other than "it", it will anger the other party and cause irreversible consequences. Please carefully identify and choose carefully. ]
This copy doesn't need to crack the truth of the world?
Or is it the truth of the world?
After the copy rules were read out, the darkness in front of Cecia's eyes was finally dispelled, and the dizziness in her head gradually disappeared. What appeared in front of her was a room that looked ordinary.
【Welcome players to enter the first room - "Gluttony is not a sin", and provide you with basic information about the room. 】
"What crime did she commit?"
"She ate all the food in the fridge."
"Is this a sin? She was just too hungry."】
Unlike usual, the mechanical sound did not sound directly in her head, but was played out loudly, as if there was an invisible loudspeaker in the room.
[Players are requested to take good care of the owner of the room and not refuse any of her requests. After obtaining her approval, players can proceed to the next room. ]
Room owner?
Cecia looked around the room and saw no one but herself.
The surrounding walls were painted white, slightly mottled due to the erosion of time, giving a sense of age, like an old house built a long time ago.
She stood in front of the floral sofa, facing a bulky old TV. There was also a three-layer refrigerator in the corner of the room, which was covered with dust and looked like no one had opened it for a long time.
There are no doors or windows here. To the right of the TV is a dim corridor, which is also the only exit of the room. There is no light there, and it looks pitch black. I don't know where it leads to.
She walked to the refrigerator first and pulled open the door of the first layer.
With a creaky sound, the refrigerator door slowly opened, leaving clear fingerprints on the dust.
The first floor was empty, with nothing in it.
She didn't even feel the cold, the refrigerator seemed to have stopped working long ago.
The second floor is still empty.
As soon as the third layer was opened, a pungent fishy smell hit me. Although there was nothing inside, there was red to black mucus hanging on the inner wall, indicating that something had been stored here.
"She" ate all the food in the refrigerator, so the refrigerator is empty...
After confirming the information given by the copy, Cecilia walked towards the TV again, but after searching for a long time, she couldn't find anything like a remote control, so she had to give up.
Seeing that there were no other clues in the area, she raised her foot and walked into the dark corridor without hesitation.
In the corridor, darkness followed her everywhere, making her breathing heavier. She stretched out her hand and slowly felt along the right wall, and her fingertips soon touched a slightly raised switch.
But she pressed the switch several times and there was no response. It was obviously no longer working.
She continued to grope forward, her eyes gradually adjusted to the dim environment. With the help of the light coming from the living room, she could barely make out the surroundings.
The straight corridor is about five meters long, with a door on each side and another door at the end of the corridor facing the living room.
The door on the left was painted bright red and was almost right next to the living room, while the door on the right was black and further away from the living room. The door at the end was pink and light could be seen through the gap between the doors.
Cecilia tried one by one and found that the black door and the red door were both locked, but she did not give up and came to the end of the corridor.
Unexpectedly, she just exerted a little force and heard the sound of door hinges turning, and the pink door was easily pushed open.
Soft light shone into the corridor, and she saw that the walls of the room were painted pink and filled with all kinds of toys. A girl with pigtails was standing with her back to her.
"The big rabbit is sick. The second rabbit takes care of him. The third rabbit buys medicine. The fourth rabbit boils..."
Childish voices echoed in the room. The girl was immersed in a sea of toys, arranging several rabbit dolls neatly and humming an unknown song.
Cecia did not approach him rashly, but tentatively sent him an invitation to form a team.
[Searching for people who can form a team within one meter nearby...]
[Sorry, no one is found nearby to team up with. Please try again after changing the environment. ]
Isn't this kid a team member?
Since the team-forming function was introduced, she has sent invitations to multiple players and NPCs, but this is the first time she has encountered such a situation.
While Cecia was still wondering, the girl suddenly stopped humming, turned around and stared at her blankly.
"You're here?"
The girl stood up happily, a smile on her face, as if she had known she would come.
Throwing down the doll in her hand, the girl ran to her excitedly and grabbed her sleeve.
"Sister! Please play with me!"
The girl tilted her head and looked at her, the corners of her mouth fixed at an odd height, and there was not a trace of light in her dark eyes.
This child is most likely the owner of the room...
【Can't refuse any of her requests. 】
The introduction to the room flashed through Cecia's mind, and she immediately made a judgment and accepted the girl's invitation.
"I knew it! Sister is the best!"
After getting a positive response, the girl looked even happier. She ran to the pile of toys like a little bird, pulled out two rabbit dolls, and stuffed one of them into Cecilia's hand.
"Sister, please find all the rabbit dolls. Let's play house with them!"
The girl said this naively, but the toys in the room were piled up like a mountain, almost as high as Cecilia.
"……good."
Under the rules of the room, Cecia agreed and resigned herself to picking the rabbit from the pile of toys. The girl climbed onto the soft princess bed and watched her work with her legs swaying.
"Come on, sister. I am a little girl who is easily satisfied. When I am happy, you can go to the next room."
The girl said this with a grin, and it seemed that she was well aware of her rights in the room.
After a while, Cecilia placed ten rabbits in front of the girl, but the girl frowned and shook her head in annoyance.
"I'm tired of playing with rabbits! Sister, you made my room so messy, please help me clean it up!"
In order to find the rabbit, toys were thrown all over the room. She looked at the messy room, then looked at the innocent-looking girl, gritted her teeth and said, "...Okay."
The room was half cleaned and the girl was unhappy again.
"Sister, if you put it like this, I can't find the toys I like!"
As she spoke, the girl jumped off the bed and dove into the neatly arranged toys, grabbing a few and throwing them out. Soon, the room was even messier than before it was cleaned up.
After staring at the room for a long time, the girl pouted and patted Cecilia's arm in a pretentious manner.
"Forget it, since my sister isn't good at this, let's go watch TV together!"
"……good."
Veins bulged on Cecia's forehead. She suppressed her inner anger and let him pull her to the living room.
…
silence.
There was deathly silence all around.
The girl and Cecilia sat on the sofa together, staring at the old TV without blinking, but there was no picture on it and the TV was not turned on at all.
Moreover, this situation has lasted for a full half hour.
"Sister, turn on the TV."
"good."
"Sister, I want to eat a hamburger."
"good."
"elder sister……"
"good."
The above conversation was repeated dozens of times. No matter what request the girl made, she would get a positive answer from Cecia, but she just didn't move and kept sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Sister, tell me a story!"
The girl drew out her voice, lying on Cecilia's legs, trying to arouse Cecilia's conscience by acting coquettishly, but all she got was still a cold "OK".
Seeing that the other party kept this "no refusal, no action" attitude, the girl could no longer sit still and started crying with a pout.
The shrill crying sounded throughout the room, but Cecilia remained as steady as a rock, motionless, like an irresponsible father.
The reason why things turned out like this can be traced back to half an hour ago.
At first, she thought she had to meet all the girl's requests, but after arriving in the living room, she couldn't find the remote control after searching for a long time, and the girl made a new request - "drink water."
The water here hasn't boiled yet, and the girl yelled at her to take all the dolls to the living room...
She was exhausted and when she was extremely annoyed, she suddenly realized the problem - she had not met many of the girl's requests.
Maybe, she doesn't have to actually complete every request?
The rules only say "can't refuse", but don't tell her to do it.
At this point, Cecilia went from being a hard-working nanny to an automatic reply machine that only said "yes".
Under such cruel cold violence, the girl cried until she was hoarse and gasped for breath, but still did not get a single glance. Cecilia was like a sculpture. No matter what happened, it could not disturb her from "watching TV" seriously.
"You...you are cheating!"
The girl cried and hiccuped, and tearfully accused Cecia, "You can't do this! You can't reject me, you should listen to me!"
"Okay, I won't refuse you."
Cecia answered, this time saying a few more words than before.
