28. Shadow Castle (Zero)
"Ahh
Zhou Keer struggled to get up.
But this is not where Zhou Keer was just now. This is the settlement space.
In other words, at that moment, Zhou Keer's sanity value was emptied, and he was directly judged to be crazy and the game failed.
Zhou Ke'er sat on the ground for a few minutes before gradually coming back to his senses. Exited the settlement space casually, anyway, none of the tasks in this module Zhou Keer have completed, so there are no rewards, and there is no need to look at the settlement results.
"That Kronos just now, he actually mentioned Chen Tian? What the hell is this... It's just a duplicate name, or... But why would a Western god come up with an Old Era Eastern name..."
Zhou Ke'er pondered for a while, "Also, what did that guy say at the end, what does 'absorbing evil' mean?" How did I not know that I still had this ability? Is it because of that antidote? It doesn't make sense..."
"Ahh Forget it, if you can't figure it out, don't think about him! Really, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me anyway. β
Zhou Keer couldn't think clearly, so she simply gave up thinking.

γPlayer "Finger Sand" invites you to join the teamγ
As soon as he returned to the cabin at the beginning, after Zhou Keer took back his big head sticking out of the window, two prompts sounded.
"Oh, Chen Tian is online... Would you like to ask her about what happened? No, forget it. Hmm, are there any more game invites? It's a little coincidental. β
Zhou Ke'er glanced at the time, "It's only twelve o'clock now, it shouldn't matter if you come again." β
Thinking like this, Zhou Ke'er agreed to the invitation of the sand between her fingers.
In the next second, Zhou Keer appeared in another cabin.
"Oh! Jinyi, Shi's are all there? β
As soon as Zhou Ke'er came over, he saw that Jinyi Night Walking and Shi's Lion Eating History were already waiting in this small cabin.
"Hey, hey... What the hell is this outfit of yours? Is there some strange trend at a time when I don't know? β
Jin Yi couldn't help but complain when she looked at Zhou Keer's body in tatters, full of fine holes, and the hospital gowns that had been torn into one by one in some places.
"Gee, didn't you just come out of the mod!"
Zhou Keer pursed her lips helplessly, "To be honest, I think the costume setting of this game is too much..."
"Huh? So why don't you go to the mall and buy a set of clothes? The clothes you buy from the mall are different from those you brought out of the mod, and they'll be automatically restored after the end of the mod. β
Shi asked suspiciously.
"Oh! I forgot! β
Zhou Keer patted his head and hurriedly opened the mall panel.
"Actually, I don't think it's necessary to buy clothes in the mall."
The finger sand on the side shook his head, "Anyway, the clothes in the mall don't have a bonus, they're just ordinary clothes, so it's the same to find another set of clothes in the module to wear."
Also, there is nothing else in the store except clothes, but I see that players who have passed the "Fog" difficulty quest in the forums have said that after they can leave the cabin, the store will be open for sale.
In addition, we don't have many sanity points in our hands now, so it is obviously very stupid not to hoard them, but to waste them on this kind of thing. β
"Oooh! It makes sense. β
Zhou Ke'er nodded convincingly, then bought herself a complete set of clothes, and spent the only 19 sanity points in her hand.
"Hey, look! The handmade cane inlaid with large rubies is so well-made, and it only takes 5 sensible points! It's super profitable, isn't it? β
Zhou Ke'er immediately replaced the mental hospital gown on his body with the clothes he bought from the mall, then raised the cane in his hand and shook it at the others, and knocked on the ground and said, "Also, this kind of hardness can be used to smash people!" β
β...β
Finger Sha looked at Zhou Ke'er, who had changed into a decent tuxedo similar to a British gentleman in the old era, wearing a handmade top hat decorated with gorgeous feathers, and a delicate cane in his hand, and didn't know what to say for a while, "How much sanity do you have left?" I don't think this set is cheap... Compared to the other whole set, which only does not exceed 5 sanity points..."
"It's not expensive! It's only 19 sane points in total, and I'm just studing. β
Zhou Keer shrugged his shoulders, instantly destroying the calm and elegant temperament brought to him by this expensive dress, as if a Mi Chinese in the old era insisted on pretending to be a British gentleman.
"Okay. I knew it. β
Jin Yi sighed, "Then let's start the game, why don't you try it on the "hard" difficulty first?" β
"Hey, what's the "difficulty" to play? Of course, it's directly through the "Fog" difficulty! β
Zhou Ke'er tapped the cane in his hand and suggested with a disdainful expression.
"Huh? You... Have you tried the "Hard" dungeon? β
Finger Sha thought of the messy appearance of Zhou Ke'er's clothes when he came over at the beginning, combined with his current words, and speculated in surprise.
"That's right!"
Zhou Ke'er nodded as a matter of course.
That's right, he's tried a hard dungeon, but he just failed.
"Is that so? Well, there's no penalty for failing anyway..."
Finger Sha thought for a moment, turned his head to look at the others and asked for advice: "I think it's okay... Try the highest difficulty, what do you think? β
"No objections."
Shih, of course, agreed.
β.. You've all agreed, then I.. Okay, too. β
Jinyi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

As the system prompt falls, it is a title CG as usual.
On the quaint and elegant solid wood table is an ornate envelope that has been opened and has a gilt pattern.
Then a hand reached over and took out the invitation from the envelope.
The camera quickly switched, and Zhou Keer only had time to see the signature at the bottom of the invitation: Daiss Itno.
The narrator's deep voice slowly sounded:
"You received a gorgeous invitation, and although you have been invited many times, this one is special. The owner of the invitation is the least visible of the celebrities, and it is rumored that those who have been invited by him and show up on time will receive a fortune that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve in a lifetime. β
"But even so, there are always people who can't get it who are hyping up untrustworthy rumors, such as... Following the favor given to the invitee, what is transferred to the invitee is not only wealth, but also... Curse. β
"It sounds ridiculous, but it's true... No one ever saw an invitee who received an invitation and then came back. This makes it even more puzzling to know where the rumor of wealth that bestowed the invitee came from. β
"As a middle-class gentleman, you've been involved in discussions about this gossip, but you never thought that this kind of thing would fall on you."
The scene switches.
Inside the carriage, there was a slight sound of horses' hooves from outside, and it could be seen that the carriage was not very fast, everything in the carriage was stable, and a small section of incense lit on the middle table was rising with smoke.
"But don't forget... Since it's a banquet invitation, how can you be the only one who gets the invitation? What makes you wonder is that if there are so many people at a normal banquet, and each person gets a lot of money... Is this really a possible thing? β
"But if there are only a few people, how can a banquet be completed?"
"With such doubts, you have finally come to this manor..."
A miserable white crescent moon hung like a hanged corpse. The cold moonlight on this deserted and remote castle did not make it full of life because of the light, but added a touch of dead silence.
"Squeak"
The gates of the castle suddenly opened, and several carriages came to a halt on the outside of the manor, and the horses pulling the carriages neighed restlessly and kicked their hooves anxiously.

"Ahh This extra quest feels like a perfect fit for me! β
Zhou Keer thought, "Eh, no... These tasks don't seem to be in conflict... Let's do it all together! β
