Infinite Weird Game

Chapter 5 Rose Manor (4) Four lines of verses

The simplest mechanical lock on the door of the castle is the kind that can be done with a single wire.

Zis stood in front of the door of Room 3, and suddenly wanted to pick the lock, but considering that it was late, he decided not to die.

He pushed open the door and walked into the room with his head.

In front of him was a guest room of about twelve square meters. The yellowed wallpaper was stained with water stains and mold spots, the rotten and festering ceiling was dotted with black ulcers, and the grass sprouts that broke through the ground were like worms on scars, giving people an association of dripping pus at any time.

The air is filled with floating and swaying dark fragrances, like artificially burned incense, like the original smell of the air, or maybe just the synesthesia brought by vision to the sense of smell.

The room only lit an oil lamp on the bedside table as a light source, and in the center was a large bed that could sleep two people, and to the right of the bed was a quaint desk with some books and notes stacked on it.

Zis walked over, his fingertips scratched the yellowed papyrus cover, picked up the pages and froze in the air.

After a few breaths, his fingers moved slightly, but after all, he just casually flipped through the notebook at the top, without further reading and exploration.

Just now, Qis had already noticed that there was no clock in the room, and there was nothing that could indicate the exact time.

This is unusual.

You must know that the rules on the system interface emphasize the importance of "time" in every possible way, and the first, second and second floors of the castle have mechanical clocks placed in conspicuous places......

"Is it such a clear hint?" Qi Si squinted his eyes, faintly having a premonition that there was a high probability that something would happen tonight, but it was the difference between big and small things.

To the left of the bed is a dusty floor-to-ceiling window, and the colored glass that has not been wiped for a long time seems to be covered with a layer of mist, and you can vaguely see the sea of roses in the garden through the translucent material.

The plants are too dense, and the flowers and leaves are entangled and hidden by each other, which always gives people early warning of what is lurking under the branches and leaves.

Qisi closed the curtains without hesitation, dragged the stool next to the desk to press the curtain, and then folded back to the big bed in the center.

The bed in front of him looked very flat at first glance, nothing unusual.

But Zis didn't believe that Miss Anna, who had similar characteristics to him, would put nothing under the mattress.

With an interest in visiting masterpieces of the same kind, he lifted the sheets.

On the yellowed white mattress, a bright red European-style court dress was lying flat, and the intricate edging and beads were pressed on a flat surface, obviously it had been placed for a long time.

Qi Si picked up his long skirt with interest and shook it, without shaking out anything superfluous, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Not interesting. If it were him, he would have to dismember the owner of the skirt, sew it together with the fabric, sew a piece of each skirt into pieces, and let the guests play jigsaw puzzles.

What a creative art form, why doesn't anyone practice it?

Lin Chen followed Qi Si into the room.

He has no experience playing horror games, and the most he plays on weekdays is tower defense and open world.

At this moment, he only knew that Zou Yan had said that he would try his best to investigate the clues.

He didn't want to look useless, so he carefully started from the corner and groped over inch by inch with the attitude of cleaning the dormitory.

There was a rustling movement of clothing behind him, accompanied by Qi Si's gloomy voice: "Lin Chen, you said that if you kill someone just to have him, is this a kind of love? ”

Lin Chen straightened up, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a strange scene.

The black-haired young man was smiling and carrying an old-fashioned red dress, which was clearly a normal movement, but it gave people a sense of déjà vu as a perverted murderer showing the victim's clothes.

Lin Chen pointed to the skirt and tied his tongue in a knot: "Brother Qi, this ...... What is the situation? ”

"This," Zis lowered his head, his eyelashes like crows casting a cluster of gloom on his eyelids, "I'm in love with a girl......"

"Huh?"

"She is so beautiful that all the most beautiful words in the world cannot describe her beauty." Qisi's voice was calm, but the content of his words was crazy, "I humbly, eagerly and shamefully want to possess her, but this love that is not tolerated by the world is destined to be unspeakable......"

The danger warning surged in his heart, and Lin Chen suddenly realized that he didn't actually know Qisi.

A person who hid clues in the team copy offered to share a room with him, no matter how he looked at it, he had bad intentions......

Moreover, Zis was the only one who came in from outside the castle, and when he arrived at the latest, his clothes were still stained with blood, could it be that he had been replaced by ghosts?

Countless clues that had been subconsciously ignored surged up like a wave at this moment, flashing like flying fire meteors in front of my eyes.

Lin Chen's forehead was oozing thin sweat, and he instantly remembered the bizarre plots in several novels he had read.

What if the other party is a perverted murderer who has his sights on him and wants to attack him recklessly?

After all, his appearance and figure are not bad, and he often encounters some strange people in reality......

Qi Si continued to say unhurriedly: "...... I could only steal the red dress she usually wore and press it under the sheets. Lying in bed every night, feeling her breath through the thin fabric, it was like sharing a bed with her. ”

Looking at Lin Chen with a pale face, he folded up the skirt in his hand and threw it on the stool on the side, tsking softly: "What are you thinking?" This skirt was turned out from under the mattress, and the above is just my guess about the backstory of this dungeon, not necessarily right. ”

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was ......"

"Why?" Qi Si asked unknowingly, "Let's put it this way, if I were a pervert, you wouldn't be able to stand here at this time." Either you will never wake up, or you will wake up in some worse form. ”

He looked at Lin Chen with a smile, as if he had just made an insignificant joke.

Lin Chen swallowed his saliva a little embarrassed, feeling that he was too suspicious. How could there be so many perverted murderers in the world and be met by him so coincidentally?

Zis's favorite thing is to play with people's hearts and disturb emotions. Seeing that Lin Chen had relaxed, he changed his tone and asked in a long voice: "It's you, Lin Chen, are you really a newcomer who entered the dungeon for the first time?" Also, what is your identity in reality? You are so young, I'm afraid you didn't die of natural causes, right?" ”

It is difficult for people who are not trained in cross-interrogation to deal with such questioning. Lin Chen's heart rose again, and he replied anxiously: "I...... I don't know how to prove it, but I'm really a newcomer! I just went to college and didn't have a job yet......"

Qi Si interrupted: "How did you die? ”

"When I went out to buy supper at the school gate at night, I passed by an alley and heard someone calling for help. I walked in and saw a group of people moving around a girl. I didn't think much about it at the time, so I rushed over to stop them. I didn't expect them to do it...... By the way, I remember that street is called Horse Market Street, and the security has not been very good......"

The words were upside down, and his voice was intermittent, looking eager to prove himself.

Qi Si was now sure that Lin Chen was a newcomer, or the kind of clear and stupid college student.

The situation did not exceed expectations too much, but made him lack interest. But he still pinched out a suspicious tone and said, "I'll treat you as if what you said is true, at least it doesn't sound flawed." ”

Lin Chen quickly defended: "I didn't lie to you!" If you have anything you want to ask, I can tell you......"

"Making up stories will only waste our time, I don't want to listen to you talk nonsense about your boring life." Let people fall into the trap of self-evidence, and Zis's goal has been achieved.

He covered his ears and lay back expressionlessly: "It's getting late, it's time to sleep." ”

Lin Chen was a little unwilling and wanted to say something, but saw that Qi Si had already closed his eyes.

After all, he didn't dare to touch the moldy head of this "old player", so he had to keep his mouth shut.

There is no clock in the room, so you can't know the exact time, and the safest way to avoid breaking the rules is to sleep until dawn.

Seeing that Qi Si only occupied half of the bed and left plenty of space, Lin Chen carefully took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed.

From beginning to end, he deliberately kept his distance from Zis, as if he was afraid of bumping into each other and causing unpleasantness.

Qi Si sensed this and had a good insight into Lin Chen's psychology.

This is a very simple person who has not experienced too many social sinisters, and is thrown into a strange game without warning, and it is inevitable that he will be at a loss.

At this time, the only one who stood up to convey goodwill would undoubtedly be used by him as a lifesaver, and he must be followed and flattered.

This is somewhat similar to the psychological "drawbridge effect", which is a pathological self-PUA.

Qi Si is not a psychiatrist and has no intention of correcting Lin Chen's weak psychology.

On the contrary, the current direction is exactly what he expected.

He looked up at the ceiling and said coldly: "Lin Chen, there is actually a reason why I chose to share a room with you." ”

Lin Chen was stunned: "What is the reason?" ”

Is there any value he hasn't discovered? Is it because of his value that the boss is willing to help him?

The real reason is that we are both newcomers and are not afraid of being seen through the details. ’

Qi Si replied in his heart, but made a nonsensical joke on his mouth: "Probably because your name is very similar to the protagonist of the novel, I feel that it is not a loss to invest in it." ”

These words were like a great relief, and it was too warm on the pale and cold background of the weird game.

Lin Chen had been in a state of unease of not being trusted before, and when he listened to Qisi's subtext at this time, he obviously let go of his doubts and treated him as his own.

He stayed for two seconds before answering a little awkwardly: "Uh...... Is there any? Haha, my dad loves to read fantasy novels, probably because he gave me the name after reading novels......"

Qi Si narrowed his eyes and continued: "You died of 'goodness', and the strange game gave you a chance to be reborn, perhaps it was a reward for your good deeds; I have a hunch that you will live." ”

Qis hasn't done the stupid thing of taking kindness as a compliment for ten years, but it's just right to deceive Lin Chen, a fool who doesn't know the world, with these words.

Sure enough, Lin Chen blinked his eyes twice embarrassedly and grinned: "Haha, I also hope that I can live, my parents are the only children I have, and I will rely on me to take care of them when they are old." They are all very kind people, and they have taught me to be a good person since I was a child, and I will help if I can help ......."

"I died to save people, and they will be proud of me; But if I die, they will be sad and may regret it, thinking that I should not save people...... I can't explain this clearly, I can't figure it out, it will get into the horns...... So, I want to live, I must live. ”

Being filled with naïve Holy Mother's speech, Zis gradually couldn't laugh.

He turned his back and pulled the sheets to cover himself: "Lin Chen, it's getting late." If you want to survive, fall asleep as soon as possible so as not to break the rules. ”

"Hmm!" Lin Chen didn't dare to neglect it, so he quickly lay down and covered the other half of the quilt with himself.

Qisi and his roommates lay down, propped up half of their bodies, and went to blow the oil lamp at the head of the bed.

A single light only flickered twice and then disappeared, leaving only the darkness of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Chen's trembling voice sounded mournfully: "Brother Qi, I'm a little scared, I can't sleep......"

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Zis closed his eyes and said, "I can't trust them, so I didn't say it at the dinner table." But now I can tell you that I was tempted before, Miss Anna is a living person - do you remember the seventh rule? ”

Lin Chen asked hesitantly: "Only ghosts can kill humans, Miss Anna can't do anything about us?" ”

"Well, so sleep peacefully."

Ten minutes later.

Lin Chen muttered pitifully: "Brother Qi, I can't sleep...... I was still in evening classes at this time in the past, and I wasn't sleepy at all......"

Qi Si took a deep breath and exhaled, saying, "Count the sheep to a thousand, if you don't want to die, go to bed quickly." ”

"Hmm......"

Fifteen minutes later.

Lin Chen: "Brother Qi, I...... I still can't sleep...... I'm sorry......"

Qi Si felt Lin Chen's fear as vivid as a light, opened his eyes in the darkness, and let out a long sigh.

He stroked the silver bracelet on his right wrist, and small tools such as blades, wires, and silver needles changed at his fingertips, and finally replaced them with a small blunt awl.

He ordered, "You turn your back." ”

"Oh." Lin Chen didn't know why, but he still did it.

In the next second, Qi Si stuck an awl in his Fengchi point.

Seeing that this guy with a weak 0 glance finally managed to faint, Qis viciously took back the tools of the crime and closed his eyes again.

In the dark silence, only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard.

Qi Si calmed down his mind bit by bit, and slowly sank to the bottom of the ocean of thoughts.

There, the four lines of blood-colored words intertwined and took root like life.

[My chest is rotten]

【Blood and flesh spread on the ground】

【Roses live here】

【Tomorrow will last forever with me】

Before, Qisi casually flipped through the notebook on the desk and only read the four lines of the poem transcribed on the title page.

At that time, he habitually recited words in his heart, and suddenly an auditory hallucination of the growth of plants suddenly appeared in his ears, and even his fingertips touching the pages of the book were itchy, as if something was going to penetrate the epidermis and penetrate into the blood vessels.

He had always been suspicious and immediately gave up his plan to investigate further, pretending that nothing had happened.

This kind of thing that looks a bit dangerous, it is safer to wait until daytime and let the tool people study it.

Well, first trick Lin Chen into contact, and if you can't get results, lure other players to go to the thunder, and carry out moral kidnapping if no one takes the bait......

Calculating so maliciously, Qis fell asleep unknowingly.
