As the butler began to announce the rules of the first order, the clock on the round table rang.
The minute hand and the hour hand pointed to twelve o'clock at the same time.
【Rule Sequence 1】
[1: Each Chosen One has 3 points at the beginning. Please keep your points safe.]
[2: It is forbidden to kill other Chosen Ones in public, otherwise you will be arbitrated by the Executive Officer.]
[3: Please keep track of time at all times in the castle, as no one else will remind you.]
[4: Among the twenty chosen ones, there is one who obtains free points in a different way from the others. Please be wary of him.]
【5: You must strictly follow the orders of the executive officer, otherwise you will be subject to arbitration.】
[6: Remember, you are not allowed to leave your room and walk around the castle during non-game time.]
[7: There is a talking owl in the castle. You can choose to believe what it says, or you can choose to ignore it.]
The butler repeated the seven rules three times in very standard Mandarin.
However, after experiencing how the butler killed the chosen one without batting an eyelid, Chi Mu began to resist the butler.
This butler is simply a demon who kills without blinking an eye. To him, these chosen ones are just like a group of little white mice.
Surprisingly, after the butler finished talking about the seven rules of Rule Sequence One, none of the Chosen Ones spoke first, and all remained strangely silent.
At this moment, the system prompt sounded in Chi Mu's mind.
[Ding! The host has obtained new rules. ]
[System function triggered, now marking an error rule for the host. ]
[The wrong rule is, rule...]
Um?!
Chi Mu was stunned for a moment. When the system was talking about which rule was wrong, the voice stopped abruptly.
What on earth is going on? This has never happened before.
Chi Mu kept shouting in his mind: "Fuck, system, what the hell are you doing? Which rule is wrong?!"
The system completely ignored Chi Mu and no sound came out again.
After realizing that there would be no more sound from the system, Chi Mu's face turned pale and a trickle of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
Combining the previous system anomalies, Chi Mu deduced a very horrifying conclusion.
The world of ghost stories has an impact on the system. When I participated in the "Escape from the Mental Hospital" ghost story before, every time I got a system prompt about an incorrect rule, the system would make three "ding" sounds.
But under normal circumstances, the system will only make a "ding" sound, such as it did just now.
At that time, Chi Mu suspected that the system had also been contaminated by the mental hospital, causing the system to become somewhat neurotic.
Now we are in the Ghost Story Prison Garden, maybe the system is affected by something here.
After all, this place is beyond the ordinary ghost story copy. Perhaps, this is the real ghost story world.
Moreover, the butler knew that all the people in this group were the Chosen Ones. Obviously, he was not like the NPCs from the ghost story world he had met before, because he knew about the Chosen Ones.
"Oh no! It seems that the system can't help me at all in the Ghost Story Prison Garden."
Chi Mu's face was solemn. He knew that this time he had to rely entirely on his own abilities.
But there is still a serious problem that has not been solved, and that is the problem of his slow thinking. He still hasn't figured out why it has become like this.
"The executive officer mentioned in the rules is you, the butler?"
While Chi Mu was thinking, someone finally broke the strange silence.
After saying this, the butler smiled at the Chosen One who asked the question and said, "Yes, the executor is me."
"Excuse me, who is the special chosen one mentioned in Rule 4?"
The man asked again, but this time the butler shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang Chen, the answer to this question needs to be discovered by yourself."
The chosen one named Zhang Chen nodded slightly and stopped talking.
But a woman sitting next to him raised her hand and asked, "Mr. Butler, how is the way this special chosen one obtains free points different from ours?"
"Ms. Li Xin, I am very honored to answer this question for you... Among the 20 Chosen Ones, 19 of them obtained free points by continuously participating in the Ghost Story Game until a Chosen One with 20 free points is produced."
The butler paused, then continued, "Each of you Chosen Ones will have 3 free points at the beginning.
Once a Chosen One dies, his free points will fall into the Ghost Story Game Prize Pool. They will be used as rewards for the remaining Chosen Ones to win the Ghost Story Game next time. "
The woman named Li Xin narrowed her eyes and did not speak again.
Chi Mu was surprised when he heard the questions from Zhang Chen and Li Xin. He didn't expect that they would be so bold to ask directly.
He realized that the chosen ones who could gather here were not good people.
After all, the chosen ones who are imprisoned in the Ghost Story Prison Garden are the ones who have destroyed the balance of the ghost story world, and they must have extraordinary qualities.
Although Chi Mu still had many questions in his mind, he put them all behind him and began to seriously think about the rules and information he now knew.
Combining the questions Li Xin asked the housekeeper and the housekeeper's answers, Chi Mu discovered that the housekeeper did not directly tell Li Xin the answers she wanted to know.
Because Li Xin was asking about how the special Chosen One obtained free points, but the housekeeper was talking about how the normal 19 Chosen Ones obtained free points.
