Chapter 17: Strange Voices

Emmm...... Chu Ge pursed his lips, this teammate's name doesn't sound good.

This is the first time that Chu Ge has been matched with multiple people, two explorers, an athlete and a detective. The four major professions are short of one doctor.

However, he knew that as a doctor of the five scumbags, there should not be many people who played.

Four people like this, you look at me, I look at you, big eyes staring, no one speaks.

In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, Chu Ge said, "Why don't I tell you a joke." ”

The other three looked at each other, and no one objected to him.

"The two bananas went shopping one after the other, and the banana in front of them felt very hot, so they took off their clothes, and guess what-" Chu Ge said with a smug smile.

"The banana in the back fell!"

β€œ......”

After Chu Ge finished telling this joke, not only did no one laugh, but the atmosphere seemed to be more awkward than just now.

"Should we choose the captain first?" asked the Yukiman Castle Guard, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Ahem, my sister is right. Chu Ge coughed deliberately.

Night of the Mansion is a teamwork dungeon, a team always has to have a captain, especially for four strangers, the presence of the captain will bring them together quickly.

"Then I'll be the captain!" Mingyue Qingfeng patted his chest with his strong arm and said in a deep voice.

"No, I think the captain better let him come. The Xueman City Guard's hand pointed at Chu Ge, "His rank seems to be higher than ours." ”

Hearing her words, everyone looked at Chu Ge's character information.

In Nightmare games, players can see the nicknames and levels of their teammates after entering a quest. At present, Chu Ge's level has reached LV3, and the three of them only have LV2.

Mingyue Qingfeng's expression was a little unwilling, and the living people did not have any expression on their faces, just looked at them quietly.

"Then I'd be respectful and obey. Chu Ge also did not give in, "You can call me Chu Ge in the future." ”

"Chu Ge, why are you already LV3?" asked Mingyue Qingfeng puzzled.

"Maybe it's because I defeated the ghouls in the newbie book. Chu Ge pretended to be relaxed and said.

Hearing his words, the faces of the strong athlete and the explorer girl changed, and even the cold detective player glanced at him.

They know the difficulty of the beginner's book, and there are still many players who are stuck in the graveyard and can't get by.

Everyone else is trying to avoid being detected by ghouls, but this guy actually defeated the ghouls.

Chu Ge was even stronger than they expected!

With this little episode, the unwilling expression on Mingyue Qingfeng's face suddenly disappeared, and Chu Ge's strength had been recognized by him.

"In order to avoid the suspicion of the number of water words, I will call you Mingyue from now on. Chu Ge looked at the bright moon and clear breeze.

Mingyue nodded.

"Can we call you Xiaoxue?" Chu Ge looked at the explorer girl.

"I can do it all. Xiaoxue nodded obediently.

"As for you......"

Chu Ge squinted his eyes and looked at the living people who did not enter, he couldn't think of what to name this eccentric guy, he saw the other party's indifferent expression that had not changed for thousands of years, "Just call you poker face." ”

Don't get close to the living: "......"

At this moment, the sound of system news sounded in the ears of Chu Ge and the others.

【Main quest start】

[Mission Requirements: Find a way to escape from the murderous house]

[Note: The door of the villa will not open until after dawn]

Hearing the news of the mission, Chu Ge fell into deep thought, and it was such a simple reminder, the madhouse was supposed to let them escape from the hospital before.

But he knows that the more simple the prompt, the more difficult the task to complete.

When Mingyue heard the news, she walked towards the window of the villa, only to see a baseball bat appear in his hand, which was a novice weapon for the athlete profession.

In the last madhouse book, the player's equipment slot was locked, but in the murder house, the player can take out their equipment and items at will.

Mingyue raised the baseball bat in his hand and smashed it into the window in front of him, he wanted to smash the window glass.

But the moment he hit the glass, the glass erupted with a green glow, bounced him out, and he fell to the ground, and his health dropped by 5%.

"What's the matter, this window can't be broken. Mingyue got up and said.

Chu Ge had also tried this method at the beginning, wanting to smash the glass in the madhouse to escape, but it was obvious that this method would not work.

In the cutscene at the beginning of the murderous house, a mysterious force imprisons the gate of the villa, as if someone has deliberately trapped them here.

He couldn't help but think of the animation in front of the newbie book, where the player was attacked by a mysterious person and was caught in the cemetery.

So the people who trapped them in the villa and the people who attacked them are probably the same people!

"Did you hear what the system said at the end?" said Xiaoxue.

"It says the door to the villa won't open until dawn. That is, we have to hold out until dawn before we can go out. ”

"Who knows when it will be dawn. Mingyue glanced at the pouring rain and endless darkness outside, "If only we knew what time it was." ”

Normally, there will be playtime and the real world in the game, but after entering the murder house, those time hints are gone.

At this time, Chu Ge found that the detective had disappeared from front of them, and when he turned around, he saw that the other party was walking not far away.

The detective stopped, and in front of him was a vertical clock more than one person high.

Retro European style, mahogany clock body, golden dial, the clock dial is ancient Roman numerals from 1 to 12, and the huge bell hammer is slowly swinging with the beating of the hands.

It seemed that it was just an ordinary vertical clock, but the poker face seemed to have found something, and Chu Ge and they immediately walked over.

It turns out that in ancient Rome, there are signs of the sun and moon at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock, like a cycle of time, and the hands are still ten minutes old, pointing to 12 o'clock at midnight.

"So it's 11:50 p.m. in the dungeon right now?" Mingyue said.

"We still have six hours and ten minutes to finish the task. The detective, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

Chu Ge pursed his lips, "Poker face, it turns out that you can speak, I thought you were a dumb person." ”

Don't get close to the living: "......"

After the detective stopped talking, he returned to the feeling of being thousands of miles away.

"I don't know what we're looking for, but we're running out for time, so let's split up. Chu Ge said.

Time in the game flows much faster than in the real world, and it won't be long before 12 o'clock.

"Hearing the name of the murder house, I have an ominous premonition, according to the routine in horror movies, wouldn't we die faster if we disperse?" Xiaoxue's eyes were a little scared.

Just as Chu Ge was about to say something, the vertical clock in front of them suddenly rang, it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night!

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

......

The midnight bell echoed in their ears, and the sound was low and unpleasant, and it took twelve strikes before it finally stopped.

Shortly after the bell ended, however, a strange sound rang out.

"Smack!" "Smack!" "Smack!"

The sound was familiar, like a child's marbles falling to the ground, and it came from the ceiling above their heads.

"There are people on the second floor of the villa, aren't all the people who live here dead?" Mingyue's expression was surprised.

"Why is there a strange sound of marbles coming from an uninhabited upstairs?"

"Why did a family of three die tragically?"

"What is the truth behind the murderous house?"

"Behind all this, is it the distortion of human nature or the degradation of morality?"

"Welcome to the ...... approach," Chu Ge couldn't help but play with the stalk.

The detective, who was silently watching, finally couldn't listen anymore, and he said: "At present, there are two reliable conclusions in the scientific community. One is the sound of cold tension and heat contraction of reinforced cement, and the other is the corrosion of mold on the cement board, and I personally prefer the second one. ”

"Yo hehe, you know a lot about poker face. Chu Ge's tone was mocking.

Pokerface shut up again, and at that moment, there was another strange sound from upstairs.

It was no longer the sound of marbles, it sounded like the sound of someone jumping out of bed and landing on the floor, which sounded especially intimidating in the silence of a villa.

"Upstairs......" Xiaoxue looked at the crystal chandelier that was swaying slightly overhead, "There won't really be anyone, right?"
