Chapter 25: Strange Stories about the Princess Castle Rules (5) Only followers of the ancient gods...
In the other bedroom, two men were sleeping. After all, no one wanted to be alone in a place like a dungeon.
One man is tall and fat, and the other looks honest.
When the clock struck nine, the fat man closed his eyes and prepared to go to sleep, and heard [365 Eater] sigh: "Those princesses are so good-looking."
The fat man snorted contemptuously, thinking that the diner looked honest, but he was still thinking about the same thing, and he couldn't help it at night. He recalled the princess's beautiful face, smacked his lips, and agreed.
"Beautiful, really beautiful."
"Which one do you want to conquer?"
Fatty: "Give me one of them, and I'll be happy."
"They have fair skin and thin waists. They are all very pretty." said 365 diners.
The fat man was a little surprised. The diner was so cowardly during the day that he couldn't even make a loud fart with his kick, but now the sound was so rude and barbaric.
But lust blinded him, and he forgot everything when thinking about the princesses: "You said, can we dance after we gain favorability? If we stay in the dungeon for a while longer, will it trigger the hidden plot?"
After he finished speaking, he began to laugh obscenely.
"Hahaha, you still dare to think of it, big brother!"
The fat man was even more outspoken: "We have to stay in the dungeon for seven days. Isn't this too suffocating? The dungeon must reward the players who pass it. And that blind man is even more beautiful. I was staring at him. This afternoon, I saw the prince enter the blind man's bedroom. What do you think they can do? Hahaha!"
"NPC can't do that, but I'm happy to get close to the blind man!" The fat man became more and more excited as he spoke.
The diners’ voices came from the darkness. The fat man didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his voice was sharper and louder: “Yes. This amusement park is so charming, so charming, so charming…”
"He" kept repeating the words "How charming", which made the fat man shudder: "What are you crazy about?"
Suddenly, he remembered Rule 7: Please observe etiquette and remain quiet at night.
The extreme fear made the fat man's eyes bulge out and his teeth could not open. The voice of "diners" gradually became sharp and thin, deafening, like a needle piercing his ears.
The fat man couldn't bear it any longer, he covered his ears, rolled over, screamed, and went crazy. After half an hour, he died in madness.
Another bed. A true 365 eater, huddled up tightly, covering his mouth, not daring to make a sound from beginning to end.
At six o'clock the next morning, the 10 players woke up.
He Lun checked the system message: "One player was eliminated for swearing, and another was eliminated because he was tempted by a monster to talk last night. Brother, I'm lucky to have you. Otherwise, I would be accompanying him to the underworld now."
"I'm a little curious about how he died," Gao Mengtang said, "Let's go and take a look."
In the dungeon, the way a player died often revealed some information. Wei Wei also agreed to go and take a look, and the three of them went together.
The diners huddled in the room, their faces red from crying. Most of the players thought this place was unlucky and didn't want to get close. [721 Mermaid King] Yu Le and [207 Butterfly Fairy] Qin Xishuang came to take a look and then left.
As long as Gao Mengtang and the other two are willing to step into this room.
The fat man's death was not tragic, he just had a bloody head and scratched facial features. He rolled off the bed and fell to the floor, staring in horror, black pus and blood flowing from his ears.
"How did he die?" Wei Wei asked with a yawn.
The diner stammered: "He talked to himself, and then started screaming. He said his ears hurt, and that the noise was too loud. But I didn't hear anything. And then... then he died."
Wei Wei walked over, half bent down, observed the ear that was oozing black pus and blood, and muttered to himself: "Did he die from the sound wave attack?"
Silently, a ribbon floated in from the balcony, wrapped around the fat man's body, dragged him, and floated up into the sky.
The last person who died was also pulled into the sky by the ribbons.
Will the dead players turn into corpses hanging in the sky?
Rule 5: There are many unknown objects floating above the park. They used to be dangerous and edible.
Are "they" referring to the players? They are edible, so do they mean cannibalism?
These days, Wei Wei imparted some experiences to Gao Mengtang and He Lun, one of which is: each copy is a metaphor corresponding to reality.
For example, in the novice dungeon [8th floor] that Gao Mengtang experienced, the players had to find the differences over and over again, which was a metaphor for the Hundred Eyes Wizard who looked at the wrong floor, knocked on the wrong door, and was shot. They had to find the correct floor to survive.
What is the metaphor in [Princess Castle Rules Weird Stories]?
"He Lun, you have been to the Ocean Heart Resort in real life, right?" Gao Mengtang asked, "There are a lot of balloons in the resort?"
He Lun replied: "No. The gas in the balloon is easy to explode. The sale of balloons is prohibited in this area."
Gao Mengtang: "Will the park create noise pollution?"
“It closes at around 9 o’clock, and the park is located in a remote area, so it won’t disturb other places.”
He Lun scratched his head. "The park in the dungeon seems to be a little different from the one I've been to in reality. There is no shark roller coaster in reality... I can't remember it clearly. After the shark attack on tourists 15 years ago, I never came back."
[Rule 2]: The [Speedy Shark] amusement facility in this park has been in disrepair for a long time, and accidents may occur when riding...
Wei Wei tried it with the black clay puppet, but the track broke and the shark car was thrown out and rushed into the sky.
What does real-life shark attacks have to do with shark coasters?
Chatting along the way, the three of them came to the restaurant to have breakfast. The ten players were divided into five or six tables, and most of them had companions.
Qin Xishuang sat alone at a table, wearing a gorgeous dress with a mother-of-pearl sheen, with one side of his cape trailing on the carpet. Two Morpho butterflies flew around him.
When Gao Mengtang came in, he turned around and smiled brightly, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Unfortunately, Gao Mengtang is blind and can’t see.
Qin Xishuang also remembered his blindness and retracted his useless smile with a little embarrassment.
"Sorry, um..." A diner's voice came from behind, "Blind man, can I, can I sit at the same table with you?"
"No." Wei Wei answered first.
Diner: "Please, I'm really scared. It will be dangerous if I'm alone."
Wei Wei sneered: "You are afraid of encountering danger, but I am afraid of encountering a burden. Let's be safe."
After saying that, he pulled Gao Mengtang and walked away quickly.
"You are so mean." Gao Mengtang was helpless.
Wei Wei: "We must be vigilant. There is a Qin Xishuang in our team. His charm skills are perfect, and he will seduce anyone to work for him. Oh, except you, after all, you can do mind control, and in your eyes, charm is not enough."
Gao Mengtang weakly emphasized: "I can't."
"If Qin Xishuang has seen the guest before, then it is very likely that the guest has become his licker. Oh, isn't this a devout believer of the feaster?" Wei Wei passed by Bai Jie, "It's not Ramadan yet, why are you eating vegetarian food here?"
Bai Jie was sitting alone at a table, and he looked a little embarrassed.
For various reasons, everyone in the family hates Bai Jie. After entering school, the believers of the ancient gods are incompatible with the materialistic young people, and being isolated is the norm. Bai Jie has long been accustomed to being alone and eating alone.
Hearing Wei Wei's sarcasm, Bai Jie quickly lowered his head, said nothing, and unconsciously protected the plate with his hands.
School bullying during lunch time often starts with such a taunt. The next step may be to knock over his food or sprinkle it with chalk dust or soapy water.
Bai Jie's shoulders tensed and he went into a defensive state, his teeth clenched tightly, veins popping out at his forehead.
His reaction was so big that Wei Wei was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what was going on, but he continued to talk nonsense: "Hey, you're still protecting me? Who wants to snatch your vegetable leaves?"
"Stop teasing him," Gao Mengtang patted Wei Wei's shoulder, "Can we sit together?"
Bai Jie's whole body tensed up even more, his head still lowered, but his eyes lit up.
"Is it okay?" Gao Mengtang asked again.
"With me?" Bai Jie's expression didn't change much, but his eyes were full of happiness. "Okay. Sure. Of course."
He hurriedly pulled the chair out for Gao Mengtang, but he used too much force and the chair fell over, Gao Mengtang almost sat on it. Bai Jie hurriedly helped it up again.
When Gao Mengtang sat beside her, the jewels on her dress jingled against each other. Her hair smelled of bitter orange and tuberose. Her skin was as delicate as a flawless warm jade, and her raised wrist bones were indescribably beautiful.
As he sat down, everyone in the restaurant looked at him. Blind people always attract attention.
Bai Jie, who was standing aside, was also looked at a few more times by the players.
There are no contemptuous, malicious or teasing looks. Some are just curious looks, and some are envy.
Bai Jie felt a warm and excited feeling in his heart. He unconsciously sat up a little straighter and opened his shoulders a little. Just having Gao Mengtang sitting next to him seemed to give him a sense of security.
He is no longer a poor guy abandoned by the group.
"My lord... um, brother, I prepared a vegetable salad with the lightest taste. It should suit you." Bai Jie plucked up his courage and handed over the untouched plate under the gaze of everyone.
Gao Mengtang paused holding the fork. At that moment, Bai Jie's heart sank to the bottom again, and his mind was in a mess.
Is this too presumptuous? Who would want to eat food handed to them by others? I am so stupid! What if he refuses? I will be laughed at. I deserve to be isolated for my clumsy appearance...
Bai Jie's heart was chilled.
"Thank you. My eyesight is not good, so it's very troublesome for me to choose the food." Gao Mengtang felt in the air and touched the plate, then took it and put it down. "I'll give you your salad. What are you going to eat?"
Bai Jie was overjoyed and stood up suddenly, bumping into the chair behind him again. But he didn't feel embarrassed: "I, I'll go get another plate!"
He went to the buffet area and grabbed a large plate of food, then pretended to be familiar with them and asked Wei Wei and He Lun what they liked to eat, as if they were all his friends.
Within minutes, a small mountain of food formed on the plate.
Whether at school or at home, Bai Jie always hid in a corner by himself. He felt very embarrassed to be excluded because of his inferiority complex. Although he was hungry, he was not in the mood to eat much, nor could he enjoy the food.
When he was in junior high school and was being bullied the most at school, he was afraid to eat alone and would hide in the toilet cubicle during lunch time and stare blankly.
Even though he is now in college, he always keeps his head down when eating alone in the school cafeteria, because when he sees his classmates walking into the cafeteria in groups of three or five, the feeling of inferiority will come back like a ghost.
Holding the full plate, Bai Jie sat back next to Gao Mengtang. The food in front of him was rich and delicious. Bai Jie felt that the two mountains pressing on his shoulders disappeared. He stood up straight.
It’s ironic that the first comfortable meal I had in the past decade or so was actually eaten in a horror game.
Gao Mengtang: "Bai Jie, if you become my follower, then you have to follow the three of us and act together."
Bai Jie raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of surprise: "Really?"
Gao Mengtang couldn't see his expression, paused, and then asked: "Are you unwilling?"
"Of course I am willing! My Lord, I mean, brother, I am very willing!" Bai Jie straightened his back and looked energetic, "Thank you!"
Gao Mengtang: ...I asked you to be my follower, and you said thank you to me?
It’s too unbelievable. The believers of the ancient gods are the indescribable existence!
Before eating, Wei Wei took out the magic letter and slapped it on the table.
[Rule 11]: The castle's restaurant is open all day, but some food is harmful to your health and the chef cannot tell the difference, so you need to be extra careful.
Wei Wei: "Everyone, stop thanking me. Watch the food carefully. Don't eat anything unclean."
