Walking through the winding underground passages, the "woman in white" holding a candlestick vigilantly observes the situation around her.

The air underground was unusually dull, and there were pale green points of light floating in front of me, like tiny insects, and like particles of poisonous gas.

After walking for about five minutes, the passage began to widen in front of me, and I was greeted by a circular clearing, the ground was covered with congealed blood, and a wooden ladder was placed against the wall.

Next to the ladder, there was a decomposing corpse, half of the rotting muscles of its face peeled off, revealing the white bones below.

Lin Chi put down the candlestick in his hand and searched the corpse as usual, but this time he didn't find any text prompts, but found a rusty copper key in the corpse's pocket.

- Judging by the game's linear mode, this key should be used soon.

After searching the open space where the ladder was located, but finding nothing else, Lin Chi slowly climbed up the ladder, pushed away a wooden plank blocking the top, and entered the room above.

Different from the dark tones of the rooms just now, there was an oil lamp hanging in this room, and the yellow light emitted reflected the whole room, leaning against the wall on the left side of Lin Chi, was a large empty wooden bookshelf, and on the wall on the right, a large mirror was refracting dazzling light.

"I can finally see what I look like."

Lin Chi walked quickly to the mirror, and looked at the face of his virtual character through the light of the oil lamp:

The girl in the white dress with a blank gaze was standing in the mirror and "looking at herself", her short ear-length hair looked a little dirty, her dark brown eyes were staring, and there were a few bruises on her pale face.

Looking at the cute round face in the mirror, Lin Chi fell into deep thought. Although these bruises may seem like something that only appears on the body of the deceased, it is also possible that if a living person is beaten, it will also look like this.

- So, is this character a living person or a corpse?

Unable to see whether his role was alive or dead, Lin Chi turned his gaze to the dirty white dress on his body, if he could take off this dress, he could confirm whether there were any scars on his body, but ......

Lin Chi reached out and grabbed the sling hanging on his shoulder and pulled it hard, but the white dress on his body did not move at all, it seemed to be integrated with the skin, and he couldn't take it off at all by any method.

"What?" He muttered.

It seems that perhaps in order to avoid some unscrupulous players from "stripping PLAY", the clothes on the characters cannot be taken off. In this way, it is impossible to see what is under your skirt......

"Forget it."

Lin Chi turned around and walked to the bookshelf where there were no books, and began to look for a way to leave the room.

Not only did there be no door, but there were not even windows in this room, and it seemed that there was no way out of it. If there were doors or windows, they would be hidden behind bookshelves.

Standing next to the bookshelf and stretching out his hands, grabbing the edge of the bookshelf with his slender fingers, Lin Chi tried to pull down the bookshelf with all his might, but soon found that this thing was the same as the skirt on his body, as if it was fixed to the wall, and no matter how hard he tried, it couldn't move at all.

"What's the situation?"

Realizing that he seemed to have encountered a new puzzle, Lin Chi walked around the bookshelf, carefully observed the details on it, and found a line of small characters engraved on the wooden board on the bottom layer:

"The bookshelf leans dutifully here, waiting to complete its mission."

“……”

Seeing this line of words, Lin Chi didn't say a word, and directly put the notebook in his hand on the empty bookshelf, and then he heard a click, and the large wooden bookshelf began to move to the right, revealing a wooden door that was blocked behind.

Unsurprisingly, this door, like the others before it, was locked. This time, though, it's much easier to unlock than before......

Lin Chi took out the key he had just retrieved from the corpse from his pocket, inserted it into the keyhole on the door, and opened the lock directly with a slight twist, pushing open the locked wooden door.

- What will be waiting for you this time?

The "girl" dressed in white thought secretly in her heart, took back the notes on the bookshelf, and walked into the dark room behind her with a candlestick.

"Uh......"

She frowned and coughed.

There was a lot of dust floating in this room, which made Lin Chi have the illusion that he was in the mine for a while, and looked around with the help of candlelight, and the first thing he saw was the dusty floor and the long wooden table that was also dusty.

"This is the restaurant?"

The room is much larger than the previous rooms, and from the candlelit area, the wooden chairs and rectangular tables are neatly arranged like the standard of an old-fashioned dining hall.

Seeing the extinguished candles on the long table, Lin Chi stepped forward and lit up several candlesticks on the table with the candles in his hand, and the originally dark restaurant was finally illuminated by the flickering candlelight.

Then, when he saw the scene in the house, Lin Chi stopped again:

- Several corpses, also with black cloth bags on their heads, leaning against the wooden chairs beside the table, their bodies stiffened as if waiting for the delicious food to be served. On the table in front of one of the corpses was an old book.

Needless to say, that book is what the notebook calls "forgotten books in the restaurant"!

Thinking of this, Lin Chi also immediately walked to the corpse, glanced at the already stiff corpse, and then slowly stretched out his right hand, carefully preparing to pick up the book.

Based on his years of experience in the game, there is a high possibility that something will suddenly happen at this time in a horror game, but now in order to continue the game, he can only try......

Lin Chi's right hand slowly landed on the book, then retracted suddenly, picked up the book and took a step back, staring at the movement of the corpse vigilantly.

……

The corpse did not make any movements, still leaning stiffly back in the chair, its head covered by the hood drooping weakly, and the expression on its face could not be seen.

After waiting for a few more seconds, seeing that the corpse was still motionless, Lin Chi also breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on a chair next to the dining table, opened the book he got from the corpse, and began to read the contents.

Judging from the font, this book should be the same as the notes, from the handwriting of the "corpse collector", and all the content in it is handwritten:

The Crusader Courier's Journal

When the Imperial Crusader warriors return from battle, they will return to the Scarred Fortress.

The red moon hangs in the night sky, surrounded by the purest black. The huge battlefield illuminated by the moonlight is also faintly blood-red, and the second war between the "empire" and the dynasty has entered the white heat. And here, the scar fortress on the border, is one of the fiercest battlefields.

The massive silver-gray steel fortress that stands on the plain is the Scar Fortress, a defensive fortress belonging to the Empire that has been entrenched here for five hundred years, and is still unbreakable by the enemy.

When I arrived at Scar Fortress at night, I was greeted by the silver-armored warriors who guarded the place. It seems that even if they are eager to die in battle, they need the corpse collector to dispose of their companions...... Or their own corpse.

I've always been in awe of these warriors who are not afraid of death. But they also seem to be a little afraid of me, and I don't understand why, unlike warriors who live and die on the battlefield, I am just a cowardly and despicable corpse collector.

"Are you sure you're timid?"

After reading the text on the first page, Lin Chi couldn't help but complain. In his opinion, the corpse collector who has lived in this kind of place for a long time is absolutely unbelievably bold......

The text on the first page only gives the background and does not elaborate on anything substantive. Lin Chi turned the next page and began to browse the text content at the fastest speed:

……

When I arrived at Scar Fortress, the dynasty's army began to attack, and I, who had never been on the battlefield, experienced the legendary siege for the first time:

Wave after wave of the heavily armored warriors of the dynasty's siege forces flocked in the direction of the fortress, completely oblivious to the flaming boulders thrown by the trebuchets overhead, and the rain of arrows unleashed by the imperial archers. Their huge black metal boots stepped on the corpses of their fallen comrades, stomping them into meat sauce.

It seems that these savage lunatics don't need the help of corpse collectors.

The second echelon behind the siege force was the dynasty's archers, dressed in silver and white armor and armed with blue longbows, who kept firing silver arrows at the walls of the scarred fortress.

Behind the archers sat the knights of the dynasty, knights in silver and gold heavy armor, guarding their commanders.

I used my binoculars to observe that in the center of the phalanx of the Knights, there was an incongruous-looking figure, a strong man over two meters tall, tightly wrapped in a huge set of fuchsia armor, and carrying a black blood-stained two-handed axe behind his back.

"That man is the commander of the dynasty." One of the fighters introduced me.

"Are you going to kill him?" I asked.

"No, we're going to get him, dead or alive." The warrior replied.

When I heard this, I wondered what the warrior meant. But then I quickly understood what he was trying to do......

……

After reading the text on the second page, before turning the next page, Lin Chi almost understood what the corpse collector wanted to express:

"Resurrection of the dead?"

In the game of the medieval worldview, the spells of resurrecting the dead generally belong to the taboo category of necromancy, and only those who have been exiled will master this forbidden technique.

Since he is still unclear about the worldview of the game "Devil's Secret Room", Lin Chi can't figure out how people resurrect the dead in this "world", but judging from the content recorded in the log, the warriors of the "Empire" must have transformed the other party's commander into their own warriors through some kind of forbidden spell.

- So, what exactly are they going to do?

Lin Chi was about to turn the next page when a clear ticking sound suddenly sounded beside him.

Although the voice was faint, it was much louder in the extremely quiet restaurant. The "girl in white" turned her head sharply to look at the location where the voice came from, and saw that the black and red liquid was dripping down and falling on the wooden floor of the restaurant.

Raising his head and looking at the ceiling of the restaurant by candlelight, Lin Chi immediately saw an amazing scene:

- A naked young man, nailed to the ceiling by several steel nails, his body spread out in a large font, and the wounds on his hands and feet were dripping blood downward.

"Dude, are you cosplaying?"

As he spoke, Lin Chi had already picked up the candlestick and the log and stepped back, avoiding the range where the corpse was, and came to the other end of the restaurant.

Although the corpse didn't look like it had much combat power, it wouldn't be nice if it fell and hit your head......

After waiting patiently for a moment to make sure that the corpse would not move, Lin Chi turned to the next page of the journal, surrounded by a group of dead corpses, and continued to read the rest of the content.
