Having been attacked by a tentacle monster disguised as a player in the cab, Yue Ya subconsciously treated these newly appeared players with caution.
These players do not have features such as pale skin and swollen blood vessels, so they should not be tentacle monsters.
"What surprise?" The man in black took the lead and walked to Yueya.
The man in black looked down at the crack in the ground, and after seeing the densely packed ghost hands, he broke out in a sweat. He asked Yue Ya in disbelief, "Is this the surprise you mentioned?"
Another player said: "Why are you still standing here? Run away before they all rush over!"
Yue Ya curled her lips slightly: "They won't all come up."
The man in black raised his eyebrows: "Why do you say that?"
"They are guarding something." Yue Ya chuckled, "That thing is the surprise I mentioned."
The man in black asked, "How do you know this?"
Yueya: "Intuition."
This answer may sound unreliable at first, but the players present know how important the player's intuition is after entering the game.
"I'll trust your instinct for once," the man in black pondered for a moment and looked at Yue Ya: "Is your cat full?"
Feifei's belly was already round and round, and Yueya said, "I'm almost full."
The man in black nodded: "I'll buy you five minutes."
As soon as Yue Ya agreed, the man in black half-knelt on the ground and pressed the ground with one hand: "Freeze."
There was no frost on the ground, but Yue Ya did feel a chill passing under his feet and seeping into the cracks.
Yue Ya had been keeping an eye on the underground. He saw with his own eyes that the ghosts who were huddled together were frozen by the invisible cold. Their souls turned translucent, and their faces were filled with fear, and they could not move.
There were only five minutes left, Yue Ya started counting down in his mind. He smashed the wooden board with one palm, making the crack bigger, and jumped down directly.
Passing through the ghosts' souls, Yue Ya felt that his own soul was also frozen. Fortunately, the spiritual energy in his body quickly helped him resist the cold.
The ground was full of miscellaneous items, which were covered with thick dirt and dust, and it was almost impossible to tell what they originally looked like. It was a bit difficult to walk on this pile of things, so Yue Ya simply stopped where he was and looked at the basement.
This is a circular narrow space with four narrow passages. You can't see the end at a glance and I don't know where it leads to.
Yue Ya lowered his eyes. His shoes and trouser legs were already stained with dirt. The debris at his feet had also been rubbed off a little bit of the dirt, revealing dazzling colors.
Yueya picked up a vase casually and rubbed off the dirt with his fingertips. A pure golden color appeared in front of him. It turned out to be a golden vase.
Yue Ya took out cleaning tools and cleaned away the dirt in the basement. The debris piled up under his feet revealed its original appearance: exquisite crowns, fist-sized natural gems, boxes full of gold bars... They gathered together, emitting a dazzling light.
What a pleasing picture! Yueya is very satisfied.
[There really is treasure, the ghost ship is not lying to me!]
[Yuezi's eyes lit up. It seems he really likes shiny things.]
[Pack and go! Pack and go!]
"Of course I'll take it away."
Yueya quickly stuffed all the treasures into the player's backpack. Every time the player's level is upgraded, the number of slots in the player's backpack will increase, and one slot can hold all the treasures.
After the treasure was emptied, the circular magic circle hidden underneath was exposed in front of Yue Ya.
There was a poisonous snake with its head and tail connected painted on the outside of the magic circle. This pattern looked familiar to Yue Ya.
[You have triggered the hidden magic circle. Trade your soul with the ghost guarding the circle to obtain the hidden item.]
The magic circle emitted a dark purple light, as if waiting for Yue Ya to feed it with soul.
"As for souls... I have a lot of them."
Yue Ya took out the human-faced octopuses, grabbed one and threw it into the magic circle.
The dark purple light suddenly turned into blood red, strangling the human-faced octopus. A snake-shaped ring suddenly appeared in the scarlet beam of light.
Yueya had seen this ring before. Its style was exactly the same as the ring that the round-faced boy had memorized and recorded in ancient books.
It's just that the painting has no color, but the snake-shaped ring in front of him is scarlet all over, giving off an ominous aura.
Ancient books record that this ring can open underwater doors.
[I remember this ring is the key to the underwater door! I didn't expect to find such an important thing while looking for treasure. The host is really lucky]
[The human-faced octopus is just a brick. We can move it wherever it is needed! It only takes us 30 seconds to solve this magic array!]
Yue Ya put the ring into her backpack. A voice from the man in black came from above her head: "Time is almost up, come up quickly!"
Having taken everything that needed to be taken, Yue Ya left the basement without planning to explore further.
As soon as he climbed up, a cold hand grabbed his ankle. Looking down, he found that the frozen ghosts had thawed out at some point, and the ghost closest to him reacted quickly and attacked him.
The ghost stared at him with its empty eyes, opened its black mouth and bit his ankle!
Yueya kicked him rudely and left: "Go, I've taken what they are guarding, they won't stay underground obediently anymore."
"Knock, knock, knock--" There were bursts of noises coming from the shelves, and the scary dolls on the shelves all turned their heads to look at them, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth.
The ground shook, and a dozen pale hands broke through the wooden floor and grabbed the players' ankles.
Yueya called out to Feifei and turned around and ran. The players ran faster and faster than each other.
The scary dolls made chirping sounds, pounced on the players quickly, and started biting them.
"Bang!" The two puppets left behind by Yue Ya slammed the door shut, blocking the other scary dolls that rushed out frantically behind the door.
Some players still had one or two scary dolls hanging on their bodies. They didn't dare to stop here to deal with them and ran forward without looking back.
Only after the alarm was lifted did they stop and gasp for breath.
Yue Ya ran so fast that he couldn't help coughing, and the little bit of color on his face that he had worked so hard to regain disappeared completely.
Feifei handed a small thing to Yueya: "Meow~"
A gift for the owner, meow.
Yue Ya lowered her eyes and saw a scary doll with its fangs and claws bared. The scary doll couldn't break free from the cat's claws and was gnashing its teeth angrily, making a "clang" sound.
This gift is really...
Yue Ya took a deep breath, used the small prop to control the scary doll, and stuffed it into the player's backpack: "Thank you Fei Fei, brother will save it for you, tell brother when you want to eat it."
One player pulled off the scary doll that was biting his leg, leaving a bloody wound: "Ouch, this little thing's bite really hurts."
The players used their own methods to clean up the scary dolls, and Yue Ya planned to wait until they finished cleaning up and then heal the wounds of those who were seriously injured.
He observed the players and suddenly found that one of them secretly hid a scary doll inside his clothes.
The player was wearing a loose purple coat. He had no wounds on his body and was watching the player next to him treating his wounds with a strange expression on his face.
Yue Ya did not make a sound, and let the puppet appear silently behind the player in the purple coat, and cut the neck of the player in the purple coat with its sharp fingers!
The cut was somewhat reserved, but not only did the wound on the purple coat not bleed, it also revealed the bamboo skeleton inside!
He is not a player!
The man in the purple coat realized his identity was exposed and ran away.
Another puppet stood in front of the purple coat and pierced his chest with its sharp palm.
The head of the creature in the purple coat drooped softly, and its body turned into brightly colored paper. It turned out to be a crudely made paper man - Yue Ya had seen this paper man before, at the funeral hall of the inn owner's wife.
The scary doll in the paper man's pocket could no longer hide, and it rushed towards the puppet ferociously and was torn to pieces by the puppet without mercy.
The players watched this hunt and they were surprised.
"When did this thing get around us? I never noticed anything unusual about him. It's really scary when I think about it."
"There was only one place on the ferry with paper figures. It should be when we passed by the funeral home that he replaced the real player and sneaked in."
The man in black asked Yueya, "How did you find out?"
Yueya: "I saw he hid a doll, so I tried it out."
His intuition was always accurate, and if he guessed wrong, he could heal the other person's wound and then apologize.
The man in black nodded: "Maybe the paper man really needed a doll, so he rashly exposed himself."
"You are very decisive." The other players praised sincerely.
"I'm just experienced." Yue Ya has forgotten how many times he has dealt with similar incidents: "I'll heal your wounds."
Yue Ya confirmed their identities as players by healing their wounds, and this action also eliminated the suspicions in the players' minds.
After the treatment, Yue Ya asked, "What did you go through before? Do you know where the other players are?"
"We were going back to the room to rest, but we encountered a tentacle monster on the way and the boat started to shake. We fought the monsters while looking for a place to hide. Then we learned about the existence of the Mouth of Samsara from the NPC." The man in black said methodically, "Then we heard that there might be clues to solve the problem in the cafe, so we went to the cafe. We found that the innkeeper's funeral hall had refreshed the clues, but the sea had calmed down and the Mouth of Samsara had disappeared."
"But I wasn't paying attention outside, and I don't know how it disappeared. Maybe another player solved it first. Then we heard some noise on the road and ran into you."
The red-haired player said, “They also picked me up on the road. The other players should have had similar experiences. Maybe they all went back to their rooms to rest.”
"I wonder which guy solved such a thorny problem as the Mouth of Samsara. It's amazing."
"It's really amazing," the man in black asked Yue Ya, "Why are you out here alone?"
Yueya said: "The other companions are in the cabin. The ferry is now heading to the Lost Island. I'll come out to check the situation."
"You control the cab?" The man in black breathed softly.
Yueya nodded.
"You were also the ones who solved the Mouth of Samsara?"
Yueya nodded again.
Players: “…” It turns out the master is right in front of them.
