The night passed quickly.

The nights here were much shorter than Lin Xun had imagined, less than two hours. When the first rays of the morning sun fell on the ground, all the monster corpses melted like ice and snow, along with the mountains of bone claw remains inside the fortress.

At this moment, Lin Xun gasped, leaning against the broken stone wall, closing his eyes and recuperating.

The first night passed like this, and the mechanical female voice sounded in the fortress again: "Congratulations on your victory on the first night, please go to the corridor on the second floor immediately to receive your stage reward." ”

"I feel like the bones in my body are going to fall apart now, and I can still climb the stairs." Lin Xun smiled bitterly, but he still stood up with difficulty, picked up a wooden stick on the ground, supported his body, and walked in the direction of the second floor.

It will take some time for him to recover, but it's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that he's starting to feel hungry, and he needs to eat immediately because of the "hunger" ailment attached to his survival value.

While climbing the stairs, Lin Xun nibbled on the bread, which was dry and hard, and even had an inexplicable burnt taste.

However, Lin Xun had no choice, so he could only eat it.

When a piece of bread is eaten about a third, the "hunger" state on the edge of the survival value disappears, and in Lin Xun's opinion, this means that he has eaten enough.

"No matter what, I have to save food, I can't starve to death here."

Although the state of hunger is gone, a new state of abnormality soon emerges: exhaustion.

The character is in a state of exhaustion and needs to sleep or sit still for a period of time before it can be relieved, and if the exhaustion state lasts for too long, it will cause the survival value to decrease.

"Hold on, you still have to hold on."

Now is not the time to sleep, Lin Xun must hurry, because there is a time limit for receiving that reward, and if you don't claim it within five minutes, the reward will disappear. The trick is that the system doesn't prompt the specific location of the reward, and there is no explanation of the content of the reward, so if you want to get it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

Returning to the corridor on the second floor, Lin Xun found that the layout had changed, the number of rooms had changed from five to four, and the painting at the end of the corridor had disappeared.

Lin Xun didn't know what these changes meant for the time being, he only saw an extra note in a conspicuous position on the ground, and the handwriting was exactly the same as the two notes he found before, with the following sentence written on it: Once the gambling game starts, no one can stop it. Ai, my friend, do you want to get your girlfriend back? Come find me in the basement and we'll get on with that damn gamble!

Due to his previous experience, Lin Xun certainly wouldn't touch this note easily.

"The ink on the note is not dry, it should have been written just now. The note also mentions a name, Ai, and some of the words on the note seem to be a secret guide door, which ...... What kind of connection is there? ”

"Anyway, I'll have to go to the basement and check for myself before the next night comes."

Lin Xun did not forget to save the South Gate. Of course, he didn't think about giving up this companion and completing the task of holding the fortress alone, but if he did do so and caused the death of Nanmen, it would also increase the duration of his mission, which would not be worth the loss.

At this moment, Lin Xun suddenly had a feeling of regret, perhaps, he shouldn't have involved the South Gate from the beginning!

"If the reward is just this broken note, it would be too insulting, and it doesn't match my perception of the game." Lin Xun muttered like this and looked around again.

This time, he noticed that the floor not far ahead seemed to have been pried.

He stepped forward with a stick, carefully pried open the floor, and made a new discovery.

There was a red pill in a plastic sealed bag, lying quietly in a recess under the floor.

"The Vitality Pill is full of vitality, which can instantly restore the player's survival value and clear all the current abnormal states." Lin Xun picked up this pill, and information about its use appeared in his mind.

Such a thing is undoubtedly life-saving, Lin Xun will not use it at this time, but carefully store it.

Immediately afterward, he walked downstairs with his stick again.

……

"Ahem, ahem!"

Nanmen woke up in the dark, the warm and humid air making her clothes stick to her body, very uncomfortable.

It was so empty that she couldn't see the outline of anything, only the sound of water ticking in the distance was so clear and oozing.

"How did I end up here? I remember I was in the lobby on the first floor, opened a box, and before I could check the contents of the box, I suddenly lost consciousness. Nanmen tried to move, but there was a rattling of chains.

"Damn, my hands and feet are tied, and my strength is completely imprisoned, which bastard who is not afraid of death has done such a thing to me?!"

Nanmen's anger rose in his heart, but he couldn't vent it.

"Beautiful lady, welcome to my fortress, and as my first guest of the day, I will entertain you well."

A bright light suddenly appeared overhead, and then the light gradually expanded, illuminating the entire space.

Here, it turned out to be a simple kitchen.

The white tiles around the walls are very eye-catching in the light, but the tiles on the wall are very badly pasted, like a rotten job done by someone who does not know how to decorate at all, and there are still large stains on the tiles, some of which even cover the original color of the tiles.

The kitchen has all sorts of knives, all sharpened and neatly arranged on the shelves against the wall. In the center of the room was a long cabinet resembling a bar counter, and a fat, bald man stood on the side of it, holding a wine glass in one hand and a strip of cloth in the other, clumsily and carefully wiping it.

The sound of water that I heard at the south gate came from the sink behind the bar.

"You and your companions are damned guests, and you intruding into my territory without saying hello is something that can never be forgiven, do you understand?"

Nanmen remained silent and looked at him coldly.

She quickly adjusted to the bright light, and began to secretly inspect every furnishing in the place.

Eventually, her gaze fell on the balding man who spoke.

The bald man was wearing a chef's suit, his shoulders were thicker than Nanmen's thighs, his face and body were covered with oil, and his overweight face had a strange smile.

He put down his glass, poured himself a glass of red wine, and slowly shook it.

It's a pity that even if he was doing such an elegant thing, he didn't bring any goodwill to Nanmen.
