Chapter 4 Rose Manor (3) New rules

2138 Words
The atmosphere was stagnant for a while. Lin Chen blinked twice in shock, he really didn't expect Qi Si to play like this. Isn't this a team copy? How could this person make such a joke at such a time? Shen Ming wanted to say something, but then thought that Qi Si was not a newcomer and not easy to fool, so he had to give up. In the end, Zou Yan smiled and rounded it off: "Don't be like Xiao Lin, he is a newcomer, he doesn't understand anything, and the question is abrupt." ” Qi Si was noncommittal, grabbed another apple from the table, and wiped it off without having anything to do with himself. In the previous sentence, he used a joking tone, which can be interpreted in many ways. Once someone makes a joke, he will naturally accept it when he sees it, use words such as "talking and playing", and then say the obvious conclusion. But now all the old players are serious, it seems that they are accustomed to his concealment, and it is completely the attitude of "opening up clues is love, not disclosure is duty", which can't help but he can't help but doubt: Do team dungeons really require players to unite and help each other? Is co-op really the best option to beat the dungeon? …… Interesting, isn't it the kind of setting that you can clear by killing everyone? In the silence as death, the housekeeper appeared like a ghost at the right time and said to the players: "Guests, it's getting late, I'll arrange a place for you first. ” He paused, and an uncomfortable false smile appeared on his face: "Please forgive us for neglecting us, it's really because it's not suitable for going out at night." When dawn breaks tomorrow morning, you can feel free to enjoy the roses you have been waiting for. ” On the system interface, the four words [Beware of Roses] are unsettling. Shen Ming asked after consideration: "Mr. Butler, may I ask if roses will bring any danger?" For example, poisonous and stuff like that. ” "No, a rose is a rose, how can it be poisonous?" The housekeeper said a little unhappily. He turned stiffly, maintaining the same frequency of pace, meticulously leading the way ahead. Everyone didn't dare to neglect him, and they followed him one after another, climbing up the steps. The steps made of stones are uneven, and there are small plant rhizomes growing between the gaps, or the steps were originally a whole stone, but they were torn apart by the roots. The wall on the left is integrated, like the cement of sealing a coffin, building living beings into the wall; The handrail on the right side is disconnected in many places, as if it has been corroded by the natural weathering of time, and it reminds people of the ruins of the broken wall left by the struggle of the giant. The players all held their breath, as if they were afraid of waking up the ancient creatures sealed here. The group arrived at the second floor of the castle in silence, and the flat floor of about 200 square meters showed the whole picture in front of them. The gray walls were mottled with dirty water marks, and moss and ferns crawled through the gaps, conveying an eerie and oppressive atmosphere. Three brown door openings are eerily embedded in the wall, and wooden wedges of different years and materials are nailed into the broken wooden doors, giving them a mixture of colors. Similar to the first floor, there is a huge bulky mechanical clock in the corner, which tells the player the exact time all the time. Time is really important in this copy. The housekeeper took off three keys from his waist, handed them to Shen Ming, who was the leader, and said in a businesslike tone: "Please try not to leave the room at night." Only two people can stay in each room. Be sure to keep the key safe, it has a good chance of saving your life at a critical moment. ” Ye Zi frowned and expressed dissatisfaction: "You guys are such a big castle, can't you leave a few more rooms? We are not familiar with each other, is it really good for two people to live in the same room? ” She obviously wanted to get more information out of the housekeeper's mouth. The housekeeper said with a smile: "There are only three, we only have three rooms." ” He lowered his voice extremely low, the atmosphere became a little weird, and Ye Zi stopped his mouth knowingly. Just as the two were talking, Zis moved his eyes to look around and did not find a second staircase. Once the staircase entrance is blocked when going upstairs, players can easily be outflanked and close the door to beat the dog. Zis looked at the housekeeper and asked politely, "This gentleman, can I ask where the beautiful Miss Anna lives?" ” When the housekeeper heard the word "beautiful", he grinned brightly with great satisfaction and said in a cheerful tone, "Miss Anna lives on the third floor...... By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you, Miss Anna doesn't like guests to spy on her life too much, and if she finds out that you went to the third floor, she will be very angry. ” So, is it okay if you don't get detected? It seems like I had to go to the third floor. Qi Si thought about it. At the same time, all players heard the system prompt. [Rule Cracking Progress Updated] [New rules have been refreshed] As the prompt sound fell, a new line of text appeared under the original eight rules of the system interface. [9. Please try not to go to the third floor, if you go, don't be discovered by Miss Anna] For a while, the old players looked at Zis with a little more consideration. It is also a skill to be able to accurately ask questions that trigger the new rules, whether it is a mistake or not. Qi Si knew that in this way, his statement of "entering the dungeon for the second time" was confirmed in disguise. His expression did not change, and he continued to ask, "So Mr. Butler, where do you live?" If we have something to do, where can we go to find you? ” The housekeeper twisted his head, and the joints made a "click" sound like a rusty machine. He smiled and pointed to the ground, saying, "I'm ...... Underground. ” Underground? The castle does not have a basement, the so-called underground, can only be literal...... The terrifying associations grew like vines, and the players' faces became strange, and Lin Chen had a white face, looking like a hell in a thriller. The butler ignores the player. He straightened his hands and feet, stiffly walked up the stairs, and went downstairs step by step, like a puppet with a pre-set program, unable to be moved by the words of outsiders. It wasn't until the housekeeper's figure was completely hidden in the dark corner formed by the stairs and walls that Shen Ming spoke abruptly: "What do you think of this new rule and this third floor?" ” "Fortunately, Qis asked in advance, otherwise this rule may have to be violated before it can be exposed." Zou Yan smiled at Qis, who was far away from the crowd, with a hint of approval. "However, if we want to decipher the worldview, we must go to the third floor to find more clues. If you just want to clear the copy, then there is no need to care about the third floor, you just need to strictly abide by all the rules. ” Lin Chen thought so: "Then let's base ourselves on survival first, and then consider the worldview when we have time." ” No one raised any objections, and it was only the first day of entering the dungeon, and I didn't know about all kinds of situations, and I couldn't discuss it anymore. The clear bell rang without warning, and it rang seven times one by one, and it was seven o'clock in the evening. Ye Zi pulled Zou Yan directly and said with a smile: "It's getting late, everyone, let's divide the rooms into groups." I will be in the same room with Sister Zou, and Sister Zou will take care of me. ” It is natural for the two women to be separated together, but how the remaining four big men should be grouped is debatable. Qi Siruo scanned Shen Ming and Lin Chen back and forth as if he were indifferent, and said, "Brother Shen, there was a loss of people in the early stage of the team copy, which was not good for everyone. You are an old player, how about bringing a newcomer? ” Shen Ming looked embarrassed: "I'm ashamed to say, I'm not an official player yet, just like you, I'm a reserve player in the novice pool, and my strength may not be much stronger." ” He turned to look at Lin Chen and asked seriously: "Xiao Lin, you are a newcomer, tell me your opinion - who do you want to share a room with?" ” Lin Chen was suddenly pointed out, and his face turned pale. Of course he knew that his identity as a newcomer was annoying. Without experience, he can't provide much help, and if he dies, he will be suspicious, and Shen Ming doesn't want to share a room with him. Although there must be two people living in each room, no matter what, he will not be alone, but he is afraid that his roommate will not care about his life or death...... Who should he be with? Is it the Chang Xu who calls himself a "policeman"? This kind of profession should be willing to provide shelter...... Lin Chen opened his mouth and was about to make a request, and Qi Si, who was standing aside watching the play, said at the right time: "Lin Chen, you and I are in the same room." My experience is definitely not as sufficient as Brother Shen, but as long as you listen to my arrangements and don't act recklessly, I am still confident that I will take you to some simple death points. ” Lin Chen was a little confused. From the time Zis took the initiative to test Miss Anna before, he decided that this young man was a big guy; Later, Qisi was unwilling to share his findings, and he felt that this person was selfish and unreliable. So what is the situation now? However, this big guy is willing to extend an olive branch to him when he is most helpless, so he shouldn't be a bad person...... Shen Ming happily threw away the hot potato, and immediately agreed: "Xiao Lin, then you can be with Zisi, I think he is no worse than me." ” Lin Chen woke up like a dream, nodding his head like a chick pecking rice: "Thank you...... Thank you, Brother Qi! I will try not to hold back! ” Zis looked at his temporary roommate with a grateful look, and smiled crookedly. The so-called room allocation is equivalent to briefly dividing a group of six into three small groups. ——Rather than smart and useful teammates, he prefers tool people who are obedient and easy to deceive. Lin Chen barely met the conditions and looked over. Shen Ming naturally stayed with the remaining Chang Xu. A teammate who can fight at first glance is definitely a popular existence in the dungeon full of dangers, and Chang Xu visually estimated that a height of more than 1.9 meters can indeed give people a sense of security. It's a pity that this police comrade who pretended to be cool with a cold face didn't seem to be very gregarious, even if Shen Ming stepped forward to strike up a conversation, he only said "hmm" perfunctorily. Qi Si saw that the grouping was almost divided, so he walked up to Shen Ming, took a key marked "3" from the latter's hand, and pulled Lin Chen to room 3 at the deepest part of the corridor. Shen Ming looked at the backs of the two of them walking away, and his expression became melancholic. Room 3 is located on the central axis of the other two rooms, and if a ghost comes, whether it goes clockwise or counterclockwise, it will not be the first to go there. He originally planned to choose this room, but he didn't expect Qi Si to move so quickly and the guests were not polite!
