The dust roost silently in the dark corridors, and no one remembered when they existed and when they were swept away by a gust of wind without care.

The magnificence of the castle and the sparkle of jewels everywhere had nothing to do with the fifth floor, it was dark, closed, and the pins could be heard, isolated from a suffocating dullness, and there was no light for a long time. Occasionally, the silence is broken by thick droplets of blood dripping from an unknown corner, drying up in the passage of time, leaving a little imprint that cannot be seen in its original form.

Today is different, in the ancient castle that has blurred time, someone has set foot here more than once.

With the sound of light, swift and slightly chaotic footsteps, two humanoid silhouettes appeared at the top of the staircase, red bright spots burning faintly in the darkness, and it was difficult to distinguish between light and extinction.

"Whew."

Suddenly, the red dot lifted upward, and a short, hard blow sounded, followed by a bright light that burst through the darkness, as if the only glimmer of vitality rose from the dead silence.

Zeng Lai breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's bright." ”

The ignition of the fire fold was not as convenient as that of modern tools, and it took him a long time to make a little spark, so that it would last as long as the embers of paper ashes, and when it was time to use it, he could blow it, or shake it quickly, and it could burn.

The burning of the light made the dust in the air more visible than the last time they came, and even those who did not have a habit of cleanliness could not help but feel a burst of stale smell and cover their mouths and noses.

At this time, Zeng Lai was covering his mouth with his left hand, and at the same time insisted on making some noise to break the loneliness, causing his speech to sound like he was muffled in a tank, buzzing.

Yu Xing squinted his eyes to adapt to the surrounding environment, casually waved the small still dust in the air, and closed his mouth without answering.

The last time they had been here, the corridor had divided into three roughly wide branches from the top of the staircase. At that time, I couldn't see anything, so I could only rummage around, but this time with the fire fold that Zeng Lai was holding in his right hand, I could see the surroundings clearly.

The hallway was even older than he had imagined, three of them strangely similar, with dirty marks on the floor tiles and broken cabinets or tables piled up like garbage on both sides, taking up a lot of space to walk.

The walls on both sides showed signs of peeling off the shells, and the places near the ground were blackened, and a little higher, some people used red paint to draw some unusual graffiti, such as exaggerated kindergarten horizontal eyes, little girls holding small 🐏 stick figures, and people who couldn't see their faces.

This is the picture that Yu Xing saw the moment the light appeared, and two seconds later, he raised his eyebrows and said to Zeng Lai: "Look forward a little ......"

He didn't say which front to look into, but Zeng Lai tilted the fire fold into the corridor where the small wooden box was found, and illuminated a path where the tables and cabinets were empty and endless. Beyond the range of the firelight was pitch black, which made people jealous for no reason.

"it!?"

However, it was this emptiness that made Zeng Lai burst into a rough sentence, and waved the fire fold to the side: "Why is there nothing?" ”

Nothing is the biggest fright for them.

Because the last time they came, they could clearly see that there was a sculpture pestle taller than a person in the middle of each corridor, not to mention, there was an abyssal blood array printed on the top of the corridor where they found the small wooden box.

But now, not only is the sculpture gone, but the blood array is also gone.

Yu Xing was neither surprised nor panicked by this, in his opinion, what the ghost thing that had not yet collected specific information was within the expected range, not to mention the common thing of "long legs ran", and only muttered: "Have you moved to another place?" ”

Where did it go?

Hell knows.

It may be on the front road, it may be on the lower level, it is not certain.

Zeng Lai shook the fire fold again, and the light and shadow around him lit up with his movements, and the shadows of the two of them also swayed in the sight, which was weird. He said: "No way, after that, we will pay more attention to whether there is a blood array around, and the other sculpture ...... If it's not artificially moved, then it's basically a ghost type, I don't know what its attack conditions are, let's be careful. ”

"Yes, let's go." Yu Xing said that he followed the teachings of his predecessors, and then raised his legs and walked towards the unknown road.

In order to cope with the accident, his mask was loosely tied to his hair, and if he saw Alice's eyes again, he only had to pull the mask down to cover his face.

Zeng Lai hurried a few steps ahead of him and acted as a pathfinder.

"Step, step on ......"

For a while, Yu Xing's ears only saw the footsteps of him and Zeng Lai, and at most, his own heartbeat, faintly fluttering, indicating how quiet the fifth floor was.

When they came across a cabinet that sat quietly on the wall, the two would stop and explore, and five minutes later, they still only found a few clutter.

Yu Xing put the glass beads he saw into his pocket and glanced ahead.

There seems to be a room in front.

This is good news for them, even if they can't find the key from the room, they will be able to complete the task of occupying the room by the way, except for one thing - they need to be careful of the ghosts that may be hiding in the room.

The two quickly came to the first room, Yu Xing glanced at the cat's eye, not surprisingly, it was also dark inside, and nothing could be seen, so naturally it was impossible to judge the situation inside.

After glancing at them, Yu Xing grabbed the doorknob and pressed it down, opening it gently.

The old door creaked uncontrollably, and a crack gradually opened, and the darkness faded back in the light of the fire, revealing the room for what it was.

This is a very ordinary bedroom, the style is much more modest than that provided to visitors on the third floor, basically a bed, a small sofa, a table and a chair, and a storage cabinet for miscellaneous items.

Oh, and one more, an oval mirror.

The mirror appeared here a little abruptly, Yu Xing took a look at it, and then saw the lamp on the table through the light.

He touched it, quickly found the button, and when he pressed it, the lamp lit up, and although the light was not abundant, it was enough to barely help people see.

He turned to Zeng Lai and said, "This room is not in danger for the time being, you look at the room opposite, if it is also safe, we will search separately, and by the way, take up the room." ”

The new one-minute countdown on the system panel proves that no one has ever been to this hallway, and since there is no need for a fire breaker to light the room, it is better to use the time.

Zeng Lai nodded, he felt that this newcomer was thinking very fast, and many times he could make the same decision as him without being reminded.

For the sake of safety, Zeng Lai did not close the door when he left, in case there was something more in the room, Yu Xing still had time to run.

In this way, Yu Xing listened to Zeng Lai's movement behind him when he opened the doors of other rooms, and only after confirming that there was no accident did he retract his attention and conduct a carpet search of his room.

According to the routine in the horror games he has played, there are roughly three kinds of rooms in the open map, the first is to hide key items or clues, the second is designed with a scare scene waiting for the player to trigger, and the other is set up with no direct function, but it is set here to extend the game time spent by the player to explore, along with the ghost card vision or hiding place.

If there is a room where the above three functions are not available, then this game can most likely be deleted, there is nothing fun, and the garbage game ruined my youth.

The room in front of you obviously has no space for visitors to hide, and it is not a functional room - essential places such as the electricity control room and the kitchen are also counted in the third category. Even the bed in this bedroom is connected to the ground, there is no bed to drill, and there is no table or chair that can be stuck.

Yu Xing licked his dry lips and glanced at the mirror vaguely, nothing unusual.

Although the world built by absurd deduction is not a game space in the traditional sense, its mode draws heavily on game elements - from the full name of absurd deduction game. He believed that the differentiation level deduction game would not tolerate such inferior mistakes, so whether it was the first or the second, it was quite something he was looking forward to.

After rummaging around the table and ignoring the useless decorations for the time being, Yu Xing found a bottle of medicine without a label.

Just looking at the appearance, he naturally couldn't tell that this was medicine, but fortunately, the medicine bottle was very different, and the scorched black marks on the surface were difficult for people not to notice. Like the "coke" that Zeng Lai found in the showroom, this is also an item that has left traces of flames, and Yu Xing has already included this characteristic in his collection list.

With a little force, he opened the twisted cap on the vial, and poured out the few remaining round grains.

The pellets were strong and did not crumble into powder, but survived the smoke, perhaps thanks to the protection of the vial. There are three round grains in total, and most of them are blackened and reveal a small piece of their original appearance, dark green, and the texture is a bit close to cold medicine and throat lozenges, but they are not capsules, similar to compressed products.

Yu Xing studied for a while, but could not find the drug instructions on the table. The bottle was too bulky to carry on his body, so he put the pellets in his jacket pocket.

These medicines are obviously no longer edible, and they have suffered an unknown burn, and the remaining few points of the medicine are not mentioned for the time being, and the black things on them alone make people unable to put their mouths down.

Putting the medicine bottle down, Yu Xing rummaged through the small sofa again, and dismantled all the cushions, which can be called a furniture destroyer.

In fact, the small medicine bottle can already be regarded as a piece of information, and it is normal even if nothing can be found in this bedroom, but Yu Xing has an intuition that the things that should come have not yet come.

After a while, he was left with the last thing he didn't look at, and that was the bed in his bedroom.

This is a single bed, white, the sheets are neat without a trace of wrinkles, the quilt is neatly folded and placed at the head of the bed, and the pillows of the same color are piled on the quilt, which is a scene that people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will be extremely comfortable to see.

In the next second, Yu Xing lifted the obsessive-compulsive patient.

First the quilt, then the sheets, no matter how neat things were, they couldn't escape the clutches of demolition, but unfortunately there was nothing caught in it. He grabbed the pillow and patted it, unzipped it and pulled out the cotton to look inside.

In the middle of the destroyed cotton, a corner of something of obviously different material was exposed, and the corners were slightly yellowed and curled, as if to say: I am here, can you tear it down lightly? ?

Oh no.

Yu Xing was satisfied with the scrolled paper and found that it was a folded fragment.

The edges of the fragment were torn, as if they had been torn off in a hurry.

Yu Xing carefully opened it, and the Chinese characters on it came into view, and there was a sense of fracture at the beginning, obviously, this paper was not the first page.

[Once. When everything was over, it returned to its original appearance, the sky was still the same cloud, and the eyes that were looking at the earth all the time were still in the sky. I can't remember how many days without the sun have been I've had. In the afternoon, Alice hired a third employee, and I followed her to see the whole thing, this fat man was miserable, and he was torn apart in the interview room, but it didn't seem to be as miserable as I was. I'll give him ...... No, it's supposed to be them now, and I've arranged three rooms for them, hoping they'll get used to it soon. How many waves of guests is this? I don't remember exactly, but I'm curious where Alice got this.

The handwriting comes to an abrupt end here, and it's already all the content on both sides of the paper.

Well, now OCD is really going to suffocate.

Yu Xing squinted and looked at it again, thoughtfully.

It looks like a one-page diary, but unlike ordinary diaries, the ink on the paper is not handwritten, but as if it was printed, in block letters, as if it had been torn from a book.

What is even more strange is that in addition to these printed handwriting, there is another handwriting that is annotated next to certain words.

The [interview hall] was circled, and a scribbled handwriting that was not good-looking read: "I went there secretly, it was on the first floor, but...... Vomit. ”

A bar is drawn underneath [Fat Man], and the note next to it reads: "Our chef is the only one in the castle...... No, it's the only three kind people, my God, today I know that he was once a man. No wonder the three chefs look exactly the same, vomit, I really want to throw up, how do I do it, this castle is so terrifying, I don't want to go on a graduation trip, I want to go home. ”

[First wave]: "I don't know what wave we are, the forensic speculation was that someone else came before us, and I didn't believe it until I found a finger in my room. Vomiting and vomiting. ”

Although the annotations are sloppy, the writer keeps the font size to a very small range, which is like the end of a school copy, cramming blank spaces to the brim.

Yu Xing was silent for a moment, feeling that he really saw a young man who was "vomiting and vomiting" from these words, maybe just graduated from high school, maybe graduated from college - if it was high school, this person's college entrance examination score must have been deducted from nothing.

This piece of paper is very informative.

He had a plan in his heart, his mind was clear, and his guesses about Alice's hell had reached a very detailed level.

Fold the paper belt on his body again, Yu Xing thought about it, piled the quilts and pillows on the ground, and lifted the bed board with his bare hands......

Yes, there is only one last step left to dismantle the house, and if you don't do it in vain, you won't do it.

Unfortunately, underneath the bed board was a filthy area that had never been cleaned, with cobwebs, accumulated dust, congealed unknown marks, scattered hair, shredded nails...... It's all confined in this enclosed space, so people don't want to look at it anymore.

Yu Xing only looked at it for two seconds, and then covered the bed board back in disgust.

In fact, most people have this under the bed against the wall in their homes, but how many people are willing to face it...... Except for the annual cleaning.

He straightened up and watched as the quest to enter the room became [410], finally intending to let the room go.

Before leaving the door, he turned to look in the mirror again.

He had also observed the mirror just now, and he didn't hide anything, but [good friend] didn't come, and he was a little disappointed.

His ghost notice hasn't been updated for a while.,Judging from the way White Noodles died.,Killing the ghost thing with White Face is most likely the corresponding ghost thing of White Face.,After White Face died.,This kind of monster disappeared from the castle.。

I don't know if he can get the corresponding props after disappearing, and if he can make up the progress of the notice.

I really want a reward......

So good friend come to Kangkang, he wants to trigger the notice, damn it.

Thinking so, Yu Xing glanced at Zeng Lai, who was rummaging through the cabinets in the opposite room, and said sullenly: "I'll go to the next room to take a look." ”

Zeng Lai, who was busy, didn't reply, and made an OK gesture to him, until Yu Xing's footsteps moved, and he didn't react in hindsight-

Why don't you listen to Yuki's tone of pleasure?

The gambler's senior looked back with some confusion, but did not see a figure, only saw the opposite room that had been almost demolished, and the small table lamp was not turned off, reflecting the tragic situation in the room clearly.

“……”

Good guys, that room is!

He didn't know the reason why Yu Xing was depressed, if he knew that Yu Xing wanted to let the ghost come to him, he might perform a beating teammate on the spot.

……

The layout of the next room is similar to the previous one, with subtle differences in decorations and similar furniture layouts.

Yu Xing's eyes had adapted to the darkness, and he could see a general outline when he saw things in the darkness at this time, he rubbed the black to the table, and turned on the lamp with ease.

The lights are on.

Yu Xingyu saw something move on his side, and subconsciously his pupils shrank, looking over there...... It turned out to be a mirror.

The position of the mirror has changed, but in general, it is still in a prominent place in the room, and at this time, it is reflecting Yu Xing's well-proportioned and slender figure, reflecting the faint light of the lamp.

Yu Xing's eyes lit up - the mirror in this room is easier to scare people than the previous one!

He had already discovered that this castle incorporated many elements, and the intention was to give the "sins" of "tourists" a more comfortable activity environment, such as having [good friends], then the castle would also add mirrors in unnecessary places; If there are ghosts who need to kill people in a closed environment, there will be many more cabinets in the castle where people can hide; There are ghosts in the form of sculptures, and the castle is full of stone statues, which plays a natural confusing role and makes people unguardable.

The inexplicable prominence of the mirrors in the rooms in this corridor on the fifth floor has already revealed the fact that the castle here is convenient for the activities of ghosts. Yu Xing pretended not to notice anything, and copied what he had done in the previous room, but this time he did not find anything with scorch marks, nor did he find any fragments.

Nothing.

He stretched, moved his wrist, and gestured to leave, when he heard a soft tapping from behind him.

He was in the position of leaving, facing the door and the dark corridor outside the door, with his back to the mirror, so the knock behind him could only come from the mirror!

"Da, da, da."

The percussion sounded regularly at a very slight but certainly audible volume, as if to attract the attention of the people in the room.

Yu Xing's eyes quietly bent, and the tails of his eyes were full of happiness that his plan had succeeded.

That's right, he deliberately separated from Zeng Lai, deliberately left alone, and the dagger was hidden under his clothes and was not exposed, which simply sent an unarmed perfect killing target to the ghost, [good friend] If he didn't pinch his soft persimmon, it would be too much to say.

When he turned around, the calmness on his face had disappeared, and it had been replaced by a slightly frightened expression.

"Who?" Yu Xing asked tremblingly.

"Da, da."

There was a response from the large oval mirror.

Yu Xing hesitated, cautiously approached a little, and saw his own face reflected in the mirror.

Contrary to the horror on his face, he was cut off from himself in the mirror, revealing a very friendly and affectionate smile.

Yu Xing was very scared: "What do you want to do?" ”

The person in the mirror seemed to expect him to ask this, and without showing the slightest malice, the two drooping hands raised one and waved at Yu Xing, as if to say hello.

[You have found a "good friend", the ghost notice has been updated]

"This is consistent with Huai's description......" Yu Xing secretly commented in his heart, then thought about it, and raised his hand and waved in the somewhat stunned look of the person in the mirror, which can be said to be very polite.

The person in the mirror looked at him and was silent for a moment, then bent his finger and beckoned, just as his friends said "come here".

"No, I won't go!" Yu Xing looked reluctant, "If you can't get out, just play by yourself." ”

He turned to leave, and suddenly noticed that his lower body was a little stiff.

The movement of his legs became very difficult, as if his brain was giving him an order not to walk, not to walk, and to go close to the mirror.

"Da-da, da-da."

The sound of the mirror was rapid, Yu Xing looked over again, and the self in the mirror did not move, but the knocking sound became louder and louder, more and more urgent.

With this regular voice, Yu Xing involuntarily moved towards the mirror step by step, his legs and brain seemed to be split into two individuals.

The brain says, don't go, it's dangerous.

The leg said, don't be afraid, rush!

Then the only thing that is free is the hand.

Yu Xing walked over step by step, and almost came to the front. The mirror was placed on a special table, and Yu Xing snapped to support the table, resisting himself by the force of each other.

Seeing that he didn't come in, the "good friend" in the mirror smiled even deeper, and it tried to open its mouth, its mouth was a little jerky, but the words it said were extremely close to Yu Xing's timbre.

It said to Yu Xing in Yu Xing's voice: "I'm your best friend, why don't you hold hands with me?" ”

As it spoke, it raised its other hand.

Why does that hand hang all the time?

Because, a long pair of sharp scissors was shining with cold light, and it was slowly lifted by Yu Xing in the mirror.
