No one knows when this thing emitting a faint green light appeared among the players.
The falling of night already made the players feel uneasy, and when they suddenly saw such a thing, it was good enough that they didn't scream on the spot.
Originally, when everyone was discussing, they stood separately with Zhou Zhou as the center of the circle, and the location where the green thing appeared was almost near the center.
The players scattered and a few brave ones reached out and slapped it hard, trying to knock it away.
"Ouch!" Green Light spoke, "Why did you hit me?"
When the house became completely dark, the copper chandelier on the ceiling of the living room suddenly lit up.
There were six red candles standing on the lampstand of the chandelier. They ignited on their own without wind, one by one burning in sequence. The flickering candlelight illuminated the area near the fences on the first and second floors.
With the help of candlelight, everyone discovered that the green thing was a human head.
Specifically, it was the boy with fluorescent green hair. His hair glowed green in the dark, scaring the unsuspecting players.
At this time, he touched the back of his head and looked around the crowd aggrievedly, as if looking for who had hit him on the head.
"You're using too much force. My brain is about to pop out." He complained in a low voice.
"How dare you say that? Your hair is so scary in the middle of the night."
"Yeah, I thought it was some weird thing. It was so close, right under my nose. Who else should I take a picture of if not you?"
"Why do you have hair this color? The copy is scary enough, and you have to do this."
The boy argued: "I dyed it this color specifically so that I can see clearly what's going on around me at night."
As he spoke, he shook his head. Even though there was candlelight, his head still glowed with a faint green light and was very conspicuous.
"A flashlight is only worth ten points. Do you have to use your head?" A player couldn't help but say as he looked at the green light swaying above his head.
"You don't understand. It takes 10,000 points to die and revive once in Nightmare City. I only earned more than 3,000 points by successfully clearing the last instance. I have to save every point and can't spend it carelessly. And with this dyed hair, I can use it for lighting at night, so I don't have to worry even if I encounter unexpected situations."
There are many reasons for fluorescent green boys. One player seemed to be convinced and murmured: "I will dye one when I go out."
A few casual chats successfully eased the atmosphere.
Qian Le looked at the other person's hair, wondering what effect it would have if he dyed it a fluorescent color. He was about to ask Zhou Zhou what he thought about it, but when he turned around, he found that Zhou Zhou was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, his chest calm, and looked very, peaceful?
"Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou." Qian Le called out several times hurriedly.
Zhou Zhou opened his eyes, his look clear.
"What’s wrong with you."
"I'm a little sleepy. I rarely stay up late."
But this is a game, and the flow of time inside is different from that in reality. It is only noon at most now. Qian Le was a little confused, but he quickly thought that Zhou Zhou might be used to taking a nap, so he was sleepy now.
"It's okay. After we pass the customs, you can go home and have a good sleep."
Zhou Zhou looked at Qian Le, who showed concern on his face, and nodded at him obediently.
"Although the visibility is not as good as during the day, it's okay as long as there is light. Let's go to the second floor and look around. Don't miss any details, such as the floor and walls. Check them again." said a player.
Then the group of people went up to the second floor again. Perhaps because the visibility was dimming, the sound of everyone's footsteps going up the stairs was clearly audible.
Dong, dong, dong. The chaotic sound of footsteps continued from the first floor to the stairs, and then moved to the second floor.
When we walked to the fence, we found that only this place on the second floor was lit. Only the windows at the end of the corridors on both sides had faint moonlight shining in, and the rest of the place was pitch black and couldn't see clearly at all.
"Who among you has a lighting tool?" a player asked loudly.
As a result, no one had any. Nightmare City had only been open for a short time, and most people were playing the game for the first time. Among the few players who had already completed the second dungeon, they were reluctant to buy props.
Because it takes 10,000 points to resurrect after death in a copy, but they only have a few hundred or a few thousand points after clearing the level. They all want to save up 10,000 points for the resurrection item before buying other items.
The result is that no one has a lighting tool in their hands now.
Zhou Zhou blinked his eyes, it seemed that he had also forgotten to buy the props.
He can see at night, so he doesn't need any lighting tools. But next time you can bring a few. Qian Le and He Ya can't see at night.
"Can we take down the candles on the chandelier?" someone suggested.
The ceiling was very high, and although the chandelier looked very close from the second floor, in reality even Heya, the tallest among them, could not reach it if he stretched out his hand, so this plan was not feasible.
Everyone was silent for a while, and suddenly looked at the fluorescent green boy in unison.
Fluorescent Green: "Now you know I have foresight, why are you still taking pictures of me?"
He took a few steps forward, walked to the front, waved his arms, and shouted proudly: "Follow me! I am your light!"
The fluorescent man led everyone to search the room. Because of the dim light, everyone's movements became slow. They searched the room carefully and looked everywhere, but still found nothing.
When they came out of the first room, some players with a strong sense of time immediately realized that they couldn't continue at this speed. By the time they had checked the entire villa at this speed, it would be dawn, and the 24-hour limit would definitely be exceeded.
Now there is no time for them to search slowly, so in order to save time they have to divide into groups again. Although it is very risky, it is better than a group of people being eliminated due to timeout.
But just when everyone was counting the number of people and preparing to divide into groups, they discovered that someone was missing.
There were originally seventeen of them, but at some point, three people disappeared, and now there are only fourteen left.
"Does anyone know when they disappeared?" Heya frowned. How could the situation be the same as when Luna happened? As a mercenary with a very vigilant mind, he didn't even notice it at all.
“It should still be there when I go upstairs.”
"That's when we disappeared while we were searching for clues in the room."
The disappearance of these three people undoubtedly added some shadows to everyone's search. After all, there were more than a dozen people in a room. Even if the vision was dim, they would be discovered by the people nearby when they disappeared. However, they were completely unaware of it and only discovered it when they counted the number of people.
"Could it be a ghost?" A player shuddered.
"Maybe there's a mechanism in the room, and they got caught in it and were pulled in somewhere."
While everyone was guessing, Alvia, who had been slacking off with the players, looked around. He had already discovered what was going on, but the game belonged to these players, and he didn't want to ruin everyone's gaming experience, so he would remain silent.
"Give me back my life~"
The miserable voice rang out again. Everyone had gotten used to it. After all, the three ghosts in Zhou Zhou's hands would scream every few minutes. Even though it seemed creepy at first, everyone could now almost ignore it.
Zhou Zhou looked up in confusion, watching the three ghosts in his hands floating peacefully.
The sound did not come from him.
Qian Le, who was standing next to Zhou Zhou, also noticed something was wrong: "The sound just now didn't seem to come from Zhou Zhou."
The discussions suddenly died down, and the players immediately began to look around.
A tall and thin man stood next to the fluorescent green boy. He could see a wider range. He looked around and saw nothing, so he glanced upwards.
Three ghosts emitting faint green light were pressed against the ceiling with expressionless faces, staring at him.
"Ahhhhh, it's up there!" The tall and thin man collapsed to the ground, kicking his legs and moving backwards in an attempt to leave, shouting "up there, up there" over and over again.
The others immediately looked up as well, and screams rang out one after another, as if in a chain reaction.
The crowd rushed around and filled the corridor, which was not very spacious to begin with. Those who could not escape began to push and shove, and even Zhou Zhou was pushed.
"Be careful." Elvia, who had expected this, stood at the open door of the room and held up Zhou Zhou who was about to fall.
Then he pulled him to his side and watched the players screaming and running away.
"Thank you." Even though he was about to fall, Zhou Zhou did not let go of the ghost in his hand.
After being pulled to a safe place, Zhou Zhou immediately looked for Qian Le and He Ya among the crowd. Qian Le almost fell down, but he just stumbled into the room opposite, so he should be fine.
Where did Heya go?
The only ones who remained there were a few who were standing in the front and had no time to run, or who had been pushed down and had not yet gotten up. Most of them ran into the surrounding rooms, and those who ran far had already reached the downstairs.
The player who escaped into the room slammed the door shut and tried to calm his rapidly beating heart in the room.
After a while, they slowly came to their senses and realized that what they saw were just a few ghosts. It's not like they had seen them before, so why were they running? The main reason was that everyone was screaming and running away at the time, and I was infected by the atmosphere around me, so I ran away too.
But it was indeed a bit scary to look into the eyes of several ghosts with blue faces and expressionless expressions just now.
A player opened the door a crack and shouted outside, "The one who can catch ghosts, go catch them quickly."
Al glanced at the door that he only dared to open a crack and sneered.
Even though the other party's tone was bad and sounded more like he was ordering Zhou Zhou to do something, Zhou Zhou still said in a good-tempered manner: "Okay."
Then he walked to the ceiling where the three ghosts were sticking to him and stretched out his hand...
After a minute, he still maintained this posture.
Then he changed his posture, stood on tiptoe, stretched his arms as far as he could, and grasped the air with his hands a few times.
He jumped a few more times on the spot.
He kept this posture and looked at Alvia, saying innocently, "I can't reach it."
Alvia was amused by his innocent attitude, and even though he knew that he was pretending to be like that on purpose to lower his guard, he couldn't help himself.
It seems that the person behind the other party has studied his preferences very thoroughly.
The eyes that seemed to be covered by ice melted slightly, revealing a faint smile.
The corners of his mouth curled up, with a bit of malicious meaning, and he smiled to Zhou Zhou who asked him for help: "I'm almost there, just try harder."
If Heya were here and saw Elvia like this, he would probably fall out of his eyes.
Zhou Zhou nodded seriously and tried to tiptoe to reach the ghost on the ceiling. This time the ghost seemed to have learned its lesson. It stuck tightly to the ceiling from head to toe and did not move, not giving Zhou Zhou any chance at all.
The arms were stretched high and the shirt was pulled up, revealing a bright white spot on the waist.
Elvia's eyes swept across Zhou Zhou's waist, and her just happy mood quickly calmed down.
The same tactic made too much of it, and what was the point of asking him for help, wanting him to hold him?
Zhou Zhou tried to reach out again and again, but finally realized that even if he grew another ten centimeters taller he still couldn't reach it. He put down his arms in frustration and looked around: "If only Heya was here." He is so tall, he can definitely reach it easily.
Alvia thought calmly, if the other party asked to hug him, how should he refuse so as not to let Zhou Zhou guess that he had known their trick. But when he heard him say that it would be better if Heya was there, he frowned and the coldness returned to his eyes.
"You want Heya to hug you?" Could it be that the other party has discovered the relationship between Heya and Didu and wants to find a breakthrough from him?
Zhou Zhou:?
Zhou Zhou didn't understand why El suddenly asked Heya to hold him. He looked up and saw the ghost, then he remembered that if they touched the ghost they would be possessed, and it would be safest to touch the ghost themselves.
And if Heya holds him, he will definitely be able to reach the ghost, so he said to Alvia: "Well, Heya hold me."
Although Heya is secretly Elvia's subordinate, they grew up together, trained together when they were young, and have a very deep friendship. He would not fall for this kind of plot, but the same may not be true for the meticulous Heya.
Thinking of this, Alvia said, "Let me hold you."
That's fine, Al is much taller than him. Zhou Zhou nodded again.
Alvia slowly took a few steps forward and stood in front of Zhou Zhou with an expressionless face, looking at Zhou Zhou who was looking up at him with anticipation on his face.
The two were very close to each other, one looking up and the other looking down, their breathings intertwined faintly, and Alvia could reach out and put her arms around Zhou Zhou's waist.
For him, he has never thought about finding another half over the years, because his focus has always been on the empire, and because he has never been attracted to anyone, such ridiculous and crude means are just a spice in his boring life.
He slowly stretched out his hand, and when he was about to put his arm around Zhou Zhou's waist, the door opposite opened.
Zhou Zhou immediately turned his head and saw Qian Le walking out of the door holding a high stool.
The fluorescent man was sitting against the wall, and for some reason he kept his head down and didn't say anything, so the view here was not very dark.
Qian Le walked quickly to the two of them, put the high stool next to Zhou Zhou, and looked at Elvia provocatively.
"Zhou Zhou, use! this!"
