Zhou Zhou slowly crawled out from under the arc-shaped flesh-colored object and stood on the ground looking for his shoes.
After putting on his shoes, he looked back at the motionless object on the bed and looked at it carefully.
"What did you do to me! Why can't I move?" Although the flesh-colored object could not move, it could speak. It was shocked when it saw Zhou Zhou circling around him.
"Nothing, I put a hovering charm on you."
This was bought by Zhou Zhou and Elvia after the Doll's House dungeon was over. Except for a few flying talismans used in the Deep Sea Things dungeon, he had no chance to use the rest.
The hovering talisman, as the name suggests, allows the player to pause in mid-air for a period of time. When used on oneself, it is a life-saving item, but when used on other people, it becomes an immobilization talisman.
Although Zhou Zhou's fighting power was not high, he thought of the hovering talisman when the opponent pounced on him, and it seemed to be effective.
"You used props? Humph, these props have time limits, and you still can't escape when the time comes. Hey, what are you doing? Don't touch me!" The other party's tone changed from disdain to horror.
Zhou Zhou searched his body for a long time but still couldn't find his mouth, not even his eyes and ears. After hearing what the other party said, Zhou Zhou stopped exploring his body and instead reached out and pinched the other party's flesh-colored skin.
"I find that you are quite flexible. You will definitely be able to perform many difficult moves." Zhou Zhou said innocently.
? ? ?
What does this mean? He suddenly had a bad feeling.
The castle is always extremely dark. If it weren't for the lights in the corridors and rooms, the entire castle would be pitch black.
When the old butler leaned on his cane and went to each room to wake everyone up, the players soon discovered that two more players were missing from the already small number.
"Did you hear the screams?"
"I heard it. It was just one noise and then nothing happened. What do you think happened?"
"Is there really a ghost?"
"Who knows, but something must have happened last night."
Zhou Zhou and his friends' room was on the second floor, and their door was the last to be knocked. While everyone was discussing what had happened last night, Zhou Zhou stood in front of the door with a refreshed look on his face. He even smiled and greeted everyone when he saw them. Compared to the players who had been nervous all night, he seemed to be in much better spirits.
Lan Ya was worried all night, but apart from the sudden screams outside, nothing happened in the room.
"Lan Ya!" Zhou Zhou looked at Lan Ya and immediately smiled happily.
Lan Ya stared at Zhou Zhou for a while and found that he seemed to be in a very good mood, so she couldn't help asking, "Did anything good happen to you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Ya caught a glimpse of something white in Zhou Zhou's room and couldn't help but look inside.
"Zhou Zhou, what's in your room?"
Alvia walked out of the room and just heard Lan Ya's words. The door of Zhou Zhou's room was open a crack, and most of the light in the room was blocked by Zhou Zhou standing at the door. Lan Ya could only see a small gap above Zhou Zhou's head, but Alvia was taller than Zhou Zhou, so she saw at a glance that there was something strange in his room.
The other players and the old butler also looked curiously towards the room where Zhou Zhou was.
Zhou Zhou generously opened the door and made room for everyone to take a closer look.
Zhou Zhou's room was covered with a film, which went from the bed to the table legs, and then around the stools several times. The whole room seemed to be covered with a layer of light-colored gauze, winding around layer by layer.
The nice room instantly turned into a spider web cave, and you had to be careful where you stepped if you wanted to get in.
"What is this?"
"You were fine yesterday, why did you become like this today?"
"Did something happen last night?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Zhou in unison, and Zhou Zhou told them the whole story.
I heard that the player who disappeared before appeared out of nowhere in his room, and the other party wanted to eat him, but was finally fixed by Zhou Zhou with a hovering talisman.
In the end, Zhou Zhou had nothing to do, so he pulled the other person from a flesh-colored arc shape into an almost white gauze. After that, no one knew whether the other person ran away or died, and he never spoke again.
The players went from being panicked at first when they heard unknown creatures suddenly appear in the room, to being silent until Zhou Zhou finished speaking and they even praised the other party's excellent flexibility.
It should have been a very scary thing, but how come it became a one-sided devastation in his mouth?
“Well, in that case, the other two players are likely to have been eaten?” a player said dryly.
Another player looked at the old butler who was also silent, and asked cautiously: "Well, your villa is really haunted at night. Can we not stay in the room or just stay together?"
As a result, his proposal was rejected by the old housekeeper who said he didn't want to stay and left.
The old housekeeper raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the layers of gauze in Zhou Zhou's room, and said, "Today's task is to clean the entire second floor, including this room."
After the old butler left, the other players gathered around Zhou Zhou to inquire about the details of last night. No one knew whether they would be the next target of attack by those strange creatures, so they could only prepare in advance.
Zhou Zhou knew everything and told the players the details. Then they went into the house to observe the white gauze and analyze what it was.
At this time, only Zhou Zhou, Elvia and Lan Ya were left at the door.
Alvia looked at Zhou Zhou: "Are you okay?"
Zhou Zhou nodded, thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, it's fun."
Elvia's lips curled up slightly. Zhou Zhou's unsatisfied look reminded him of the previous copies. No matter whether it was an NPC or a high-level player, it was the opponent who suffered losses when they encountered Zhou Zhou.
"That's good."
Lan Ya stood between the two of them, but her height was too different from the other two, so even standing here did not affect their communication and eye contact at all. She raised her head and looked at the two people on her left and right. She felt that it was not appropriate to speak at this moment, so she left quietly and observed the strange objects in the room with the other players.
"You seem very happy?" Elvia asked suddenly.
Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment, and pointed at the success of his hard work in the room for a whole night: "Because it's really fun."
"No, I mean you've been acting very happy since we started doing this dungeon."
Zhou Zhou pretended to laugh a few times and touched his nose: "Is it so obvious?"
"Did something happen? Are you in love again?" Alvia frowned. He couldn't think of any other reason except this.
Zhou Zhou: "What do you mean by falling in love again? It's because... it's a secret!"
Zhou Zhou was caught off guard and almost said what the other person said, but he held back in the end. It was just that the smile on his face was too bright, making people curious about what secret made him so happy.
"Can't you tell me?"
"It's not that I can't tell you, but I'm not sure until it's done. I'll tell you after it's finished tomorrow." Zhou Zhou's amber eyes sparkled. After telling Zeus his identity, he received an unexpected surprise. Now he was no longer afraid of others knowing this, so he prepared to tell Al his identity.
After he has been to the outside world, he will tell Al about his NPC identity. He doesn't know how Al will react then. When Zhou Zhou thought of this, his smile became even brighter.
Alvia looked at Zhou Zhou who was smiling at him all the time: "I actually have something to tell you, we can talk about it then."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Zhou nodded happily.
The two of them had their own thoughts, but their expressions looked happy. Zhou Zhou smiled brightly, and although Elvia still looked like she didn't want anyone to approach her, her stern expression showed signs of melting, causing several players to take a few more glances at her.
The players in the room observed very carefully, but they didn't see anything. They had never seen what it looked like before being played with by Zhou Zhou. Just by looking at these things that looked like white gauze, they couldn't see anything at all.
One player even wanted to take a bite to try it, but was sternly stopped by other players.
Players who couldn't find any clues could only clean up first and then discuss what to do at night.
These "white yarns" are as light as a feather and can be easily cleaned away like spider webs. So some players went outside to clean up, and only seven of the original nine people were left. Except for Zhou Zhou's group of three, there were only four players left.
The four people went to clean the corridor. Although they were cleaning, they were just pretending because there was no dust in the castle.
A player sat on the stairs and sighed. There were ten people when they entered the castle, but now there are only so few left. He didn't know how many would be left on the third day.
"What's the matter? Why are you sitting here sighing?" his companion came forward and asked.
The player sighed again, resting his chin on his hands. "Do you think we can make it through? This seems like a simple dungeon, but why are there so few people?"
The other party looked behind him, and this was a blind spot. He could neither see the people in the corridor nor could they see here.
"It's just a game anyway. Whether you can pass it or not, you won't really die. Just be positive."
"I know that too. I didn't clear the last copy. If I can't clear it this time, my points will become negative. I'm obviously short of money at this time. Sigh~" the player sighed worriedly.
"It's okay. As long as you don't play Nightmare City in the future, you won't have these problems."
"Yeah, huh? I haven't been eliminated yet." The other party's words sounded as if he had already been eliminated. The player turned around speechlessly and wanted to tell the other party not to set such a flag, but before he turned his head, he was pushed suddenly from behind. The player who was originally sitting on the steps rolled down the stairs before he could react.
He subconsciously wanted to grab something, but there was no guardrail on the stairs, so he could only helplessly feel himself falling downwards. At the last moment, he finally turned around and saw the person behind him. It was obviously a familiar companion. At this time, the other party waved at him with a smile, moved his mouth slightly and said goodbye silently, looking extremely unfamiliar.
"Be careful!" A cry suddenly came from the corridor.
The two players who heard the noise in the corridor immediately walked towards the source of the sound, only to find that one player was running downwards anxiously, while the other player was actually lying at the corner of the stairs.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The player had already run to his companion and picked up the motionless person on the ground with an anxious look on his face. "He was standing on the steps just now. I saw something behind him, but before I could see clearly, he rolled down the steps."
The two players above had also reached the corner. They looked at each other and immediately thought of the things in Zhou Zhou's room.
The player on the ground closed his eyes, and slowly became transparent until he disappeared amid the anxious calls of his "companions".
Everyone present clearly realized that this player was eliminated.
Soon, Zhou Zhou and others came out of the room. Zhou Zhou was wearing a small square paper hat on his head. It was folded by Lan Ya specially for Zhou Zhou. There were too many "spider silks" in the room, and it was easy to get them on hair when cleaning. Especially since Zhou Zhou's hair was slightly curly, it was even more difficult to clean, so Lan Ya specially folded a hat for him out of paper.
Of course, Lan Ya also asked Elvia when she was folding it. Unlike Zhou Zhou who was full of expectations, Elvia firmly stated that it was not necessary.
The player has disappeared, and there is no trace of him on the ground. Even if one wants to verify or look for some clues, there is nowhere to start.
Only that one player saw the scene at that time, and everyone could only learn what happened from him.
The player described the scene he saw, but things happened so quickly that he didn't see clearly what it was.
Zhou Zhou, wearing a small white hat, looked at the player who was telling others what happened.
He tilted his head, and suddenly thought of what the shapeless man said last night. He said that he would change into the appearance of other people, and then use the identity of the player to eliminate others during the day.
He hasn't told anyone about this yet, because there aren't many people left. If he tells everyone, the remaining players might continue to be suspicious of each other. But now that some players have really been eliminated, it seems that some measures must be taken.
Zhou Zhou looked at Elvia and blinked at him hard.
Alvia:?
He raised his eyebrows, realizing that Zhou Zhou wanted to say something to him, but had to say it behind the backs of others. He nodded at Zhou Zhou, meaning that he understood.
Only then did Zhou Zhou look away with satisfaction.
Lan Ya noticed the little movements of the two people. Although she didn't know what they meant, she didn't say anything. They were a team of three, but the relationship between these two people was obviously unusual. She had known about it for a long time, so she pretended that she didn't see anything.
This incident made the other players very uneasy, and finally they formed two teams, one team consisting of Zhou Zhou and his three companions, and one team consisting of the other three players, to clean the room and the corridor respectively.
In fact, the other two players wanted everyone to act together. After all, there were not many people left. However, they were rejected by Elvia and Zhou Zhou with the excuse that the old butler would think we were being lazy if we saw them.
In the room, Alvia looked at Lan Ya, thinking about how to get her to go out as well. After all, Zhou Zhou had something to say to him, and he wanted to say it to him alone. This person was a bit of an eyesore here.
Zhou Zhou didn't realize all this. In his opinion, Lan Ya was also their companion. He greeted Elvia before just because he wanted to be the first to tell him what he said last night. He was just used to it. It was the same whether Lan Ya was there or not.
"That Sha said something last night that I haven't told anyone else."
Zhou Zhou told the two what the other party said last night. Now he suspected that the person who saw the player rolling down the stairs before was probably a fake, and he was the one who pushed the player down the stairs, but he had no evidence.
"If there is no evidence, we will give him the opportunity to create evidence."
Alvia looked at Lan Ya and said slowly.
Lan Ya:? ? ?
Why look at her? I feel so anxious.
