The two looked around and didn't see any living people, nor did they see Xing'er. This was very wrong.
Gu Zhou grabbed Qi Jing's hand and said, "Go out and take a look."
The two walked out of the theater, and the tall buildings turned into small ancient buildings, and the outside of the small buildings was shrouded in thick black fog.
Gu Zhou frowned and threw out a talisman paper. The golden light of the talisman paper passed through the thick fog and disappeared in an instant.
"This thing is hard to deal with." Gu Zhou said, even more confused about the current situation, "It's not ghost fog nor a barrier."
Qi Jing also frowned, "I can't feel the breath of Second Master and the others at all. It's like the connection is broken, like I'm in another world."
Gu Zhou's eyes darkened, and he glanced sideways at Qi Jing, "So this is another world? But what's the opportunity to set off?"
"It seems to be Xing'er." Qi Jing looked at Gu Zhou, "We saw the scene before Xing'er died, but what was Xing'er doing during the hundred years of her sleep? Why did she suddenly wake up? If she had been with Lan Yuan all the time, I would have been able to sense her even in her sleep, but I didn't feel anything the last time I came here."
Gu Zhou's eyes darkened. "That means Xing'er was not near Lanyuan before, or Xing'er was not in our world at all, but here."
Qi Jing looked up and around, but before they could think of anything else, a voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Welcome to the S-level dungeon, Misty Red Mansion. This game has 30 players and will last for 3 days. Please be prepared.
The moment the electronic sound fell, thirty people suddenly appeared outside the theater, including men, women, young and old. Some were confused and some were calm. It was obviously a mixture of new and old players.
Gu Zhou raised his eyebrows, pulled Qi Jing to hide behind the door, and whispered, "This should be a horror game. I added a few chapters after Xiao Qi mentioned it in the other world. Let's see what the situation is."
Qi Jing nodded and continued listening.
The electronic sound rang out again, [Game rules: survive in the dungeon for 3 days, pass code: Ghost Phoenix Hairpin.]
When the voice fell, the people outside were confused and asked what was going on.
An old player came forward to explain, "This is a horror game. You can only leave if you survive in the dungeon for three days according to the rules and obtain the Ghost Phoenix Hairpin. As long as one person can obtain the Ghost Phoenix Hairpin, it's fine. After three days, if you don't have the Ghost Phoenix Hairpin, the dungeon boss will go into a killing mode, and no one will be able to leave."
After listening to the old player's explanation, the crowd became agitated. Some people wanted to escape from the copy, but they were completely corroded by the thick fog after running a few steps. They turned into a skeleton almost instantly, which scared the crowd so much that they screamed wildly and no one dared to escape.
Qi Jing tilted his head as he looked at the skeleton, "How cruel."
Gu Zhou didn't say anything. He didn't feel anything when he was reading the novel, but seeing a person turn into bones with his own eyes was quite strange.
The old player quickly appeased the remaining people and led all the players into the theater.
The moment they stepped into the theater, the originally dilapidated and empty theater changed its appearance.
It was neat and beautiful, with festive red lanterns lit at the door. Two people dressed in ancient costumes were greeting people at the door, looking no different from normal people.
The guests in the theater were sitting in their seats and chatting enthusiastically, all waiting for the show to begin. There were waiters serving customers and little girls selling flowers among the crowd.
Gu Zhou looked at the little girl carrying the basket and held Qi Jing's wrist tightly. "Do you think she looks like someone?"
"It's Que'er." Qi Jing answered affirmatively. He was very sure that the face was Que'er.
Gu Zhou raised his hand to his lips and thought, "So Que'er was brought here after her death, and that's why Xing'er is looking for her?"
"But I didn't sense Xing'er's presence." Qi Jing didn't understand. "If Que'er is here, then where is the sleeping Xing'er? Was it Que'er who stirred up the wind? Did she hear Xing'er singing Baihua Pavilion? Then why didn't Que'er take Xing'er away? Instead, we ended up here."
Gu Zhou couldn't figure it out for a moment, and just then the remaining players came in. Gu Zhou decisively pulled Qi Jing and followed behind the players, acting as a player.
There were thirty people, and the environment was tense. No one was bored counting heads, and Gu Zhou was not worried about being discovered at all.
As everyone took their seats, the two of them stared calmly at the stage.
The dungeon was opened because of the arrival of the players, and the show started after the players took their seats.
Just beside the stage, a few people were banging on the keyboard, music was playing, and a woman in a costume walked out in small steps and began to sing.
Gu Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked sideways at Qi Jing, both of them saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Because the woman singing on the stage had a face like Que'er, strictly speaking it was a grown-up Que'er, and she was also singing Baihua Pavilion.
Just as the two were puzzled, the flower seller, Que'er, walked up to them and asked with a smile, "Would you like to buy some flowers? They're freshly picked and very fresh."
Gu Zhou met Que'er's dark eyes and asked her, "How much is it?"
"It's not expensive, just two fingers."
Que'er smiled gently, but what she said was cruel.
Gu Zhou pursed his lips and remained silent. The player sitting in front of him had already started to tremble. Two fingers, were they going to cut off two fingers?
Just as Gu Zhou was pondering whether to take action or not, a waiter walked up to the player in front and asked with a smile, "What kind of tea would you like? We have the best Longjing, Pu'er, and Maojian here."
The player was a little girl, too frightened to speak. Gu Zhou looked up and saw the waiter's smile widen after three seconds, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. His pupils grew larger, almost covering his entire eyeballs.
Gu Zhou spoke in time, "I want a pot of Longjing."
"Okay!"
The waiter responded happily, the strange changes stopped, and he quickly came to Gu Zhou and raised five fingers to him.
Gu Zhou understood immediately, reached out and grabbed the waiter's hand, twisted it hard and pulled it off, pulling the waiter's hand off directly, and large pools of black blood flowed out.
A scream was heard, and Gu Zhou calmly pulled off two fingers and handed them to Que'er, the flower seller, and took a bright red crabapple from the basket.
Picking off a flower, Gu Zhou naturally pinned it on Qi Jing's head and praised, "It looks good."
Qi Jing raised his hand and touched it, "What a pity there are no pomegranate flowers."
"Haitang is not bad either." Gu Zhou held the waiter's hand. There were still three fingers left, two more than he needed to buy Longjing.
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the bewildered waiter's face, and pointed at his other hand, asking, "Would you like to lend it to me to buy a pot of tea?"
The waiter finally recovered from his shock and instantly turned weird, transforming into a ghost and rushing towards Gu Zhou.
Gu Zhou took out his knife and without standing up, he casually swung it down and cut the waiter who rushed over into half.
Black blood splattered out, scaring the players so much that they screamed and fled in all directions. The show on the stage also stopped, and all the monsters in the copy looked over here.
