Chapter 294 This Familiar Game
Dusk is falling.
The game system panel disappeared, and Lin Jiu's gaze unconsciously passed through the dilapidated iron gate and fell on the sea of roses blooming behind it like a painting.
The scent of roses in the air was extremely rich, yet subtle.
Lin Jiu pinched his nose, then turned around, not forgetting to look for his real teammates.
Including Lin Jiu, there are four players and six weird ones.
Those matched with Lin Jiu were all acquaintances.
"It seems that the theme of this copy is hide-and-seek, and there is a high possibility of conflicts in player identities." Charles spoke first, calmly.
Basil shrugged, "Not a big deal."
"Be careful, the difficulty of these dungeons has been increasing at a strange rate." Eugene was as cautious as ever. "It's best not to cause a conflict between players."
The Rules of the Weird Game System doesn't say that players can't kill each other, it's just that so far, such a situation has never occurred.
There have been conflicts, but they were minor.
"Oh God, if that's the case, we're dead." Basil said expressionlessly and without emotion, pointing his thumb at Lin Jiu who was secretly observing the weird people over there.
Lin Jiu:?
Everyone understood the meaning of this sentence. Charles and Eugene nodded in sync: "Indeed."
"Don't make me sound so cold-blooded. I won't hurt you." Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't mean to lie. "Although it sounds interesting."
Charles blinked. "Of course I believe you, myangel."
Basil crossed his arms and said, "Pray that this won't happen. It would be best if there weren't any hopeless idiots."
Anyone with enough experience could see that the difficulty of the dungeon was increasing rapidly, but Lin Jiu didn't reveal anything, and the conversation with Astaro that day seemed to have been blocked.
He didn't say it on his own initiative, and even if someone had some guesses, he wouldn't ask.
Lin Jiu had no intention of saying anything.
After all, this wasn't good news. Telling it would only increase the pressure, so he could just bear it. Strictly speaking, Lin Jiu wouldn't feel any pressure.
The four of them gathered together and whispered, which naturally attracted the attention of six strange people who were strangers to each other. But before any of the strange people came forward to talk to them, a bell suddenly rang in the manor.
The next second, the gate of Rose Manor slowly opened.
The voices disappeared in an instant, and everyone's eyes fell on the door that was slowly opening.
"It's so slow." Lin Jiu curled his lips.
Basil glanced at the six weirdos over there: "It seems they don't dare."
"Don't worry about them." Charles said lightly, looking at Lin Jiushi with a smile on his face: "Let's go?"
Lin Jiu nodded.
Seeing the group of people walking towards the manor, the few people here looked at each other strangely and followed them.
The moment he stepped into the manor, Lin Jiu felt a chill.
Following closely was the fragrance of roses, and the cold air disappeared.
Lin Jiu's footsteps paused for a moment. He felt several gazes falling on him, one was barely noticeable, one was cautious, and the remaining one had no intention of concealing it at all.
The sight was fleeting, as if it was just a glance in this direction.
Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows.
He was certain that the owner of one of the gazes was Clarint.
A group of people walked on a brick-paved road, with rose bushes in full bloom on both sides. The main colors were red, blue and white, with other colors as a supplement.
A veritable rose manor.
Players are used to being in a tense state, and they will automatically enter a high-alert state the moment they enter the dungeon. Therefore, the rose scent that is suspected to have relaxing effects does not work on Charles and others.
However, the six people walking behind were no longer as nervous as before. Two of the women were even attracted by the roses. They stopped to admire them or get closer to smell them from time to time.
Walking through the garden, you will see a fountain made of white marble. If you look closely, you can find several goldfish of different colors swimming in it, which is very beautiful.
Cross the fountain and walk up the steps, and the manor door will automatically open for the visitor.
The first thing that catches your eye is the hall, which is so magnificent that it gives you the feeling that you are stepping on gold instead of bricks.
Exclamations rang out, but Lin Jiu felt that it was a bit too gorgeous and the decorations were too gaudy, and it felt like his eyes were polluted.
Charles shrugged it off, while secretly complaining about the owner's poor taste. ——The roses outside were much prettier than these.
Basil and Eugene had similar thoughts to Lin Jiu. They took a quick glance around and then looked away.
It was at this moment that footsteps were heard.
Everyone looked over when they heard the sound, but were stunned for a moment.
It was a puppet wearing a butler's uniform with a blue rose on its chest. When he approached, Lin Jiu noticed that there was a blue rose totem engraved on the puppet's neck.
"Welcome to Rose Manor. Please follow me to the restaurant and wait." A distorted voice came from the puppet.
After saying that, the puppet turned around and led the way on his own.
Lin Jiu was a little curious about the puppet, so he quickly followed it.
He observed it carefully and found that it was just an ordinary puppet, without any polluted smell. Instead, the rose emitted a faint smell of pollution.
It seemed as if the rose was controlling the puppet.
Following this strange puppet butler, everyone came to the extremely spacious restaurant. Compared with the lobby, this place looked much more comfortable.
"Dinner is almost ready, please be patient."
After the puppet finished speaking, he left the restaurant without giving anyone a chance to ask questions.
The lengthy preparation made Lin Jiu a little impatient, so he chose a seat nearby and sat down, tapping the table with his fingers, making a faint sound.
The others took their seats and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
"Um...are you guys friends?"
One of the girls sitting opposite slowly spoke, trying to ease the atmosphere.
She was a girl who looked about the same age as Lin Jiu, with twin ponytails, a chubby face, and a soft voice.
Lin Jiu glanced at her and said nothing.
Charles was wiping the dishes, Eugene and Basil were both resting with their eyes closed, and no one was going to speak.
The atmosphere was more than awkward; it would be no exaggeration to say it was cold.
The girl who was ignored was extremely embarrassed. Seeing this, the older woman sitting next to her frowned slightly and said, "Even if you don't want to answer the question, you shouldn't ignore me, right?"
Lin Jiu glanced at it lazily again.
Oh, white people.
He raised his foot and gently kicked the chair where Charles was sitting.
Charles subconsciously looked at Lin Jiu, then glanced at the lady.
He chose to ignore it.
Lin Jiu smiled.
The lady's face looked even more disgusting.
