Chapter 113
Johnny's goal is to continuously complete the tasks given to him by the text prompts, but they are not, they just need to survive for eight days.
Now there is only one day left, and although they didn't say it explicitly, they have already tacitly decided not to actively conflict with the monsters.
As for whether or not to get the ruby, it all depends on fate.
Seeing Johnny still looking at them expectantly, Lu Jiamu smiled and said, "They look very difficult to deal with. When I came into contact with them before, I felt that physical means could only cause limited damage to them. Do you have any ideas?"
Johnny thought for a while and said, "You can see that when they use puppets to move on the ground, their real bodies react very slowly."
"That's true. But if we really get close, they can't be unaware of it. And they are very aware of our presence now, it's impossible for them to be unprepared. Let's just observe for a while."
Johnny nodded, looking unhappy.
Seeing that the elevator was still on the first floor with no sign of going up, a few people decided to wash their clothes that were soaked by the rain.
Johnny had just been caught in too much rain and had a bad cold. He was sneezing all the time, so he took off his clothes and gave them to others, then wrapped himself in a sheet and stayed there.
Lu Jiamu and Yu Leng went down one floor with their clothes to use the bathroom downstairs, while Kou Man and Wei Xiaoyan wrapped themselves in sheets and washed clothes on this floor.
After they separated, Yu Leng rubbed his clothes quietly for a moment, and suddenly said, "I think he has some other thoughts."
Johnny had been asking them repeatedly today if they had any plans, but had gotten no results, and he might have begun to feel dissatisfied with their laziness.
"But he may not know that we will be leaving soon." Lu Jiamu responded while rubbing his clothes, "Should we knock him out and put him in a safe place for a day, or should we keep him?"
Seeing that he had fast-forwarded from Johnny's thoughts to knocking Johnny out, Yu Leng pondered for a moment: "I've thought about it carefully. Even if he is dissatisfied with us, he can't do anything in a short time. It will be difficult to find a completely safe place for him if we knock him out now. It will bring trouble, and it will be difficult to explain if he wakes up in the middle of the process. Let's keep him for now."
"Um."
The two men quickly cleaned up their own and Johnny's clothes and went back upstairs.
After they left, Johnny did not stay there and rest, but walked around on the floor. After a while, he came back sneezing.
Seeing that they all came back, Coleman grabbed all the clothes in his hands and wrung them vigorously.
Although the fabric was deformed by her strength and became at least one size larger, the absorbed moisture was squeezed out as much as possible, and the clothes were almost dry in an instant.
Lu Jiamu and Yu Leng also drew a sheet and sat together, watching Kouman vigorously swing the sheet back and forth to help the fabric dry further, and then spread it out on the bed.
There was another soft "ding" sound in the corridor, and the elevator had arrived at this floor again.
Coleman stopped shaking his clothes, turned around, walked to the door of the room, and looked out to observe the situation.
The elevator did stop at this floor, and a middle-aged woman with a big smile on her face walked out of the elevator twisting her body.
Coleman picked up his clothes as quickly as possible and put them on.
Seeing her like this, the other people hurriedly put on their clothes without being reminded.
Although they have reached this floor, there are so many rooms on this floor that they may not be seen.
A few people decided not to act rashly and watched the woman secretly.
But the middle-aged woman had a stiff smile on her face and walked straight towards them without any deviation.
It's clear at this glance that he's no longer a living person.
Coleman was guarding the door, and as soon as she approached, he had already gathered his strength and punched her in the face.
The middle-aged woman walked in a twisted manner, and it was obvious that she was not proficient in controlling her body movements and could not avoid it at all.
Her cheekbone was shattered by the punch. Without the support of bones, her cheek collapsed in half instantly.
But she did not scream in pain, and she even seemed to be caught off guard and did not notice that she was being hit. There was still a stiff smile on her face.
Coleman immediately punched her in the heart again.
The middle-aged woman's ribs were also broken into pieces.
She stared at them, and the corners of her smiling mouth began to crack rapidly to the sides. In a very short time, she had opened a bloody mouth that reached her ears.
A mass of pulpy red mud spurted out and sprayed onto Coleman.
A pair of eyeballs opened at the top of the mud, staring at Coleman while tightening continuously.
But its individual strength is insignificant compared to Coleman's enhanced body.
The slime monster begins to secrete mucus like a slug. When the mucus dries, it turns into something that looks like plastic wrap.
Coleman didn't have time to think about the fact that his freshly washed clothes were touched by such a disgusting thing, because more mud monsters crawled out from the gap in the elevator.
Previously, several people thought that these monsters were more or less restrained, and most of the time they would not easily appear on the ground, but would rather control the corpses. Now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
Some of the monsters twisted themselves to stand up, while others crawled straight towards them, quickly turning the ground red.
What makes them so crazy?
They were numerous and powerful, and came with great force. It was obvious that their behavior was completely different from yesterday.
That’s right, the monsters had not yet reached a deal with the new family, and they were afraid that this family would discover any clues in the castle, so they were very restrained and endured it as much as possible.
But today, the new owner and his family have transferred the money and officially settled in the castle, and have also brought many living people with them. Of course, they have become bolder and more presumptuous.
In comparison, the five living people were more restricted by the text prompts and were more afraid of being seen by this family.
Lu Jiamu made a prompt decision: "Run first."
"Run?" Yu Leng looked around anxiously, "Where to run?"
Monsters kept crawling out from the gaps in the elevator, so entering the elevator at this time was like walking into a trap. And if you took the elevator downstairs, you would be discovered by the new family.
The floor here is very high. With the physical conditions of him and Johnny Wei Xiaoyan, if they jumped down directly, they would either die or be crippled. There is no way to survive.
"Do you want to jump off the building and die, or be eaten by the monster right now?"
Hearing his question, Yu Leng immediately felt that in this situation, of course he should choose to jump off the building and die. At least he would die cleanly and with dignity.
Lu Jiamu had already started running and took the lead into a room.
Because the lobby of this floor is right next to it, an angle slightly less than ninety degrees is formed on the outer wall of this room. Lu Jiamu had observed it carefully when he was circling the castle before.
When they were at the bottom, they couldn't climb up along this angle, but now they are at the top and following this angle downwards will provide some support. If they are lucky, they can go all the way to the bottom without falling to death.
Coleman successfully pulled off the mud monster that was entangled with him, threw it out with force, and collapsed against the wall.
She said, "I'll go down first. Don't be afraid. If anyone loses their grip and falls, I'll catch them."
After saying that, she jumped out of the window and used her arms to support the walls on both sides to stabilize herself.
Next came Johnny, who was the weakest due to a bad cold. Let him go first so that if he got weak and fell, it would not affect others.
Several people took pictures in order and climbed down the outer wall.
Perhaps it was the fear brought by facing the half-human, half-ghost mud monster that made them perform beyond their normal level. No one held them back along the way, and they successfully reached the ground along the wall.
It was not completely dark outside yet, and the mud monsters did not chase them out directly. Instead, they huddled together, pressed against the glass window, and stared at them.
The hostess seemed to notice some strange movement on the outer wall and immediately asked the servants to check it out.
Several servants were a little nervous when they thought about the middle-aged man who had gone to weed before and had not returned yet. They each took some objects that could be used as weapons, walked out of the castle and looked carefully, but when they found nothing unusual, they went upstairs.
After a while, the host and hostess on the first floor seemed to hear screams and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground echoing in the castle. But because the castle was so big, they didn't hear it clearly.
Just as the two were about to worry that something bad had happened, they saw the elevator start to go down again and the servants who had left came back.
Each of them had a big, somewhat stiff smile on their face, and walked out of the elevator twisting their heads.
When the little boy and girl saw them, they suddenly burst into tears.
The hostess felt a little uncomfortable, as these people had never shown such expressions before.
The smiles on their faces when they came down from upstairs made her feel nervous.
But she could only comfort the two crying children.
Just as he was busy, his phone rang again, and the middleman John's head popped up again: [Broadband installation service is coming soon, please check it]
After this message was sent, there was soon a knock on the castle's door.
The family was startled by the sudden knock on the door.
John’s head started to jump again: [Open the door, install broadband]
The hostess's hand trembled, and the host swallowed unconsciously.
No matter how slow they were, they could now sense that something was wrong.
John just said the broadband installer was coming, and the next second there was a knock on the door. Wasn't that a bit too fast? Didn't the installer have to walk in from outside?
No one in the castle responded. There was silence for a moment, then the knocking started again.
The host gestured for everyone to relax.
But this was totally unnecessary, because the servants all had big, stiff smiles on their faces. They were only afraid of the two masters, but they were not afraid at all.
The man went to the door and turned on the small surveillance screen used to observe visitors.
There was a woman outside the door. Only her chest could be seen. I didn't know if she had any tools in her hands or if she was a line installer.
But at least it wasn't John the middleman. The woman was still knocking on the door mechanically.
The hostess's uneasiness did not improve at all. She frowned and nervously grabbed the host's arm: "Do you think...she looks familiar?"
She looked very familiar indeed. Whether it was her expression or her face, it seemed like I had seen her somewhere before, and not long ago.
The hostess finally clicked on John's profile picture and said, "Sorry, we suddenly don't want to install broadband."
The woman in the surveillance video paused.
[Why did you suddenly stop installing it? What a pity.] The other party replied immediately, [This is a free service.]
