Chapter 300: Conditions for the Hiders to Change Factions
Lin Jiu felt something was wrong after sitting for a while.
The temperature around seemed to be dropping. Lin Jiu frowned slightly. A faint subtle feeling made him subconsciously stand up and look around.
After searching for a long time, he finally saw a rose totem under the stone table.
The totem was located very far inside, and with the dimmed vision, even Lin Jiu almost missed this small rose totem.
Lin Jiu: ...
Due to the dimming of his vision and the angle, Lin Jiu couldn't see what color the rose was. He was only curious for a moment and then stood up.
According to the rules of the game, you cannot hide in any place with a rose totem.
Lin Jiu did not leave in a hurry. He stood up and began to retreat, wanting to see how far he could not hide.
After retreating about ten steps, Lin Jiu felt that the eerie chill had disappeared.
Taking this into consideration, Lin Jiu simply gave up hiding and started wandering around the garden.
He didn't walk far before he stopped.
Turning his head to look at the flowers beside him, Lin Jiu discovered that these flowers seemed to have "grown taller".
Squinting and taking a closer look, the petals were much darker in color, still vibrant even in the dimmed field of vision.
Lin Jiu tilted his head back slightly and sniffed twice, but the floral scent in the air became much lighter.
It is worth mentioning that the layout of the garden has also changed, but it is not as obvious as the interior of the manor. At most, the entire garden has unknowingly become a maze.
Lin Jiu walked aimlessly for a while, looking around from time to time.
The previous feeling was not an illusion. The roses in the garden were indeed slowly "growing taller".
But five minutes was enough to hide Lin Jiu's figure.
The tricky part is that unless you pay close attention, you won’t even notice this problem.
Lin Jiu lowered his eyes.
These roses don't seem to be a big deal now, but the calmer they are, the more dangerous they are. Thinking of the rules, he thought that if he wasn't careful, he might become feed for these roses.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu looked down at the soil that nourished these roses.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that if he dug it up now, with luck, he might be able to find some bones or something.
Not long after walking, Lin Jiu saw a mirror covered with white cloth at the end of a dead end. Thinking of the reminder sent by the country before, he turned around and strode into the dead end, not worrying about whether there was any danger.
He had a question for these mysterious "magic mirrors."
“Crash—”
The white cloth was lifted, and a huge mirror appeared in front of Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu's figure was vaguely reflected in the somewhat turbid mirror. Following Lin Jiu's movement, he also took a step forward.
Lin Jiu didn't count down in his mind for ten seconds, but instead asked a question that he felt was very important:
How does a "Hiddener" switch his camp?
I don't know how much time passed, but the reflection in the mirror suddenly began to distort, and finally turned into bright red handwriting:
[The "hider" can exchange identities by killing the "ghost". ]
really.
Lin Jiu's lips curled slightly, obviously he was very satisfied with this new rule.
Without blood and corpses, this game would be boring.
However, Lin Jiu was not in a hurry to change his camp. He covered the white cloth again, slowly turned around, and looked at the puppet that appeared at the intersection at some point.
The pollution caused by asking questions was equivalent to nothing to Lin Jiu, but the black rose waiter who suddenly appeared was extraordinary.
Lin Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a pitch-black fruit knife silently appeared in his hand. He couldn't even accurately sense the severity of the contamination on the Black Rose Waiter. Not only was it vague, but the degree of contamination he sensed varied each time.
This was the first time, but fortunately my keen intuition came in handy as always.
There is no threat, at least not to life.
That's not a problem.
Lin Jiu gripped the hilt of the knife in reverse and took the initiative to walk towards the Black Rose Waiter.
The Black Rose waiter did not move, but at this moment, the bell suddenly rang.
Half an hour passed, and according to the rules, all "hiders" had to change their hiding places immediately. As for the progress of the "ghost" game, Lin Jiu didn't care.
Lin Jiu turned his head to look at the bell on the top of the manor, but when he looked back again, he could no longer see the Black Rose waiter.
He trotted forward and looked around but didn't see any suspicious figures.
Just as it appeared suddenly, it disappeared silently.
Lin Jiu put away his weapon and began to move towards the manor. He couldn't stand the strong floral scent in the air. The smell was so strong that it was a bit pungent, and Lin Jiu felt nauseous.
He would rather be surrounded by a strong smell of blood.
A minute passed quickly, and when Lin Jiu walked into the manor, the sound of the clock beside his ears had disappeared for a while.
The hall was large and deserted. Lin Jiu noticed a blue rose waiter carefully tending to the roses in a vase, and it seemed not to notice Lin Jiu.
It seems that the rules of the game and the daily rules are not independent of each other, and the appearance of the Rose Waiter here is proof of this.
Lin Jiu didn't do anything, but just walked past it calmly and walked slowly towards the restaurant.
When he entered the restaurant, he did not see the pink rose maid, but Lin Jiu discovered the "rat" hiding under the dining table.
Lin Jiu was not interested in which mouse was hiding. He walked straight into the kitchen. The pink rose maid did not react much to his arrival. She just asked if anything needed to be prepared.
After being rejected, he just quietly continued with his previous work, with no intention of driving Lin Jiu out.
Lin Jiu looked around and left after finding that there was no secret door.
As he walked past the dining table, he suddenly slowed down.
His keen hearing allowed him to instantly catch the breath that was immediately held. Lin Jiu suddenly became curious. Could people in the same camp kill each other?
Theoretically, it is possible, but most copies will not allow this to happen.
unless....
The rules allow.
Lin Jiu paused in thought, or rather, hesitation. He turned his head slightly, as if trying to see through the white cloth and the table to see the person hiding underneath.
If someone could see his eyes at this moment, they would definitely tremble.
After all, it is the gaze of a prey waiting to be slaughtered.
Xilin and Ji Xiaoshuang felt like they were about to suffocate.
It was just a small game of hide-and-seek, but the moment they knew the person entering the restaurant was Lin Jiu, they shrank back nervously.
Although they were both in the "hider" camp, their previous experience in the restaurant made the two women very dissatisfied with Lin Jiu and also a little afraid.
Especially now.
They didn't know why Lin Jiu stopped, but in the extremely silent environment, the sound of breathing seemed to be amplified a lot. They could only cover their mouths and noses to control themselves from making too obvious noise, so as not to really attract Lin Jiu's attention.
Fortunately, this suffocating atmosphere did not last long.
After about two or three minutes, Lin Jiu left.
There is no doubt that although it was only a few minutes, it made Xilin and Ji Xiaoshuang feel extremely tormented.
