Chapter 10: Ophelice Manor (4)

The damp and dirty floor was divided into small rooms separated by wooden planks, and a few tufts of straw fell to the ground, dry and yellow.

Over here...... It's a stable!

"What's the situation...... Did I trigger some kind of rule? Chu Chen hurriedly summoned the shadow as if he was facing a great enemy,

"Did you notice what was happening?"

The shadow shook its head in confusion, and in its eyes, the scene suddenly changed in a moment.

Not even any warning!

[1. Space is chaotic, and unity has no meaning. 】

"The so-called team...... Is it just a joke? Chu Chen's face was a little bad.

Take a deep breath and let the shadow clear the way in front of you, while you follow behind with a kitchen knife.

Walking out of the stable, I looked around, and not far from the back of the stable were two walls that met at 90 degrees, and the ancient castle where it was before, although visible to the naked eye, was still some distance from here.

Combined with the picture of walking into the manor last night, a simple orientation map slowly formed in Chu Chen's mind.

I can see the left side of the castle here, plus the corner behind it, so am I in the bottom left corner of the manor now?

Chu Chen wrapped one hand around his chest, supported his chin with the other, and muttered in a low voice:

"Although the location has changed, it doesn't seem to be dangerous, since you are now separated from your teammates, you can only investigate by yourself, the bedroom and basement should be in the castle, let's start with the 'tree where the corpse is buried'."

Looking up and looking around, fortunately, there are not many trees in the manor, and with the speed of him and Shadow, it shouldn't take long to find out all of them.

"For the sake of safety, I still don't separate from the shadow, although the speed will be much slower, but if I really encounter danger, the shadow can block the knife for me in time, and ......"

Chu Chen looked at the shadow in front of him, and suddenly smiled: "With you, I can save my strength, and I don't have to do it myself." ”

Handing the kitchen knife to the shadow, Chu Chen stretched out his hand and pointed to the soil at the foot of a withered yellow tree not far away, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's start working." ”

Shadow nodded without complaint, picking up the kitchen knife and doing it.

The efficiency of digging with a kitchen knife is really not fast, but fortunately, the shadow will not get tired, and it makes up for a lot.

After shoveling the soil with a kitchen knife for about ten minutes, Chu Chen, the "contractor" who was sitting on the side watching the play, suddenly spoke: "There is no here, let's replace the next one." ”

The shadow nodded, silently walked to the next tree, and plunged into the earth again.

Dozens of minutes later.

"It's not right here, let's go to the next one."

"No, next."

"Next."

……

After tossing all ten trees like this, finally, in front of a large stump that had been sawed off, Chu Chen frowned.

He half-crouched in front of the stump, picked up a handful of dirt with his hands, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and whispered, "The soil is a little damp, and the color is different from the surroundings, and it is ...... There is a freshly flipped smell. ”

This place has been touched in advance!

Silently got up and took two steps back, Chu Chen and Shadow glanced at each other, the latter signaled, raised the kitchen knife and stabbed it.

"Poof!"

Red liquid gushes out of the dirt, and it's the sound of a knife entering the flesh!

Sure enough, there's something in there!

"Dig it out."

The shadow nodded, carefully clearing the surrounding dirt and revealing the mysterious corpse buried in the soil.

A curly-haired man in a wang cub pajamas.

The man with the face of the East?

Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, something was not quite right.

Even if the diary deliberately conceals the gender of the body killed and buried by the head of the family, it has to be a Westerner, right?

And......

Chu Chen stared at the huge smiling face on the corpse's clothes, and his face twitched unnaturally.

People in this era don't wear this kind of clothes......

"Hold his hands and head, I'm looking for something."

Chu Chen half-squatted in front of the corpse, stretched out his hands up and down, and touched the man's whole body up and down.

Outcome...... It really made him feel something.

[Name: Hanako (12/20)]

【Type: Consumables】

[Quality: Normal]

[Effect: Slightly bad breath, slightly relaxes nerves, slightly improves mental resistance, slightly reduces pain, lasts for ten minutes after the last sip. 】

And......

[Name: Aggression Like Fire]

[Type: Others]

[Effect: Seems to have other uses besides turning itself into a fireball.] 】

[Conditions: Divine power greater than 6, consume 1 divine power every two seconds when used (rounded up).] 】

[Notes: An orb containing the power of fire.] 】

Excellent quality items!

"Windfall, even a higher quality than a kitchen knife." Chu Chen picked up the red beads and played with them, nodding slightly, obviously very satisfied.

Putting away the orb, he moved his gaze to another item, his face was a little strange: "The technology tree of the trial world this time shouldn't have been clicked on 'Huazi', right?" Plus the ...... of the Wangcub"

"So this corpse ...... Is it really a trialist? ”

First of all, he has never seen this dead guy, and the No. 4 who has disappeared is a woman, and he doesn't look like this.

Secondly, there were only 7 people who entered the castle, and after getting rid of one "undercover agent", the remaining number corresponded to just 6 trialists.

If this curly is a trialist, the extra guy who occupies the curly position...... What is it?

"Is there anything else mixed in besides the undercover agent?" Chu Chen tapped his forehead, his face a little solemn.

I can't tell the difference between the real and the fake of my teammates, and I can't even guarantee that there are no more people mixed in besides the "undercover" and the "curly killer"!

Except for himself, none of the other guys could believe this trial!

"It's kind of ...... Troublesome. Chu Chen scratched his hair.

Trigger almost certain death rules, random and chaotic spaces, and teammates who can't tell the real from the fake.

He felt a little tricky.

Storage!

You have to get the item that I don't know who left behind, or you will lose this trial!

Having made up his mind, Chu Chen got up and continued to check all the remaining trees in the manor with Shadow.

It's a pity that except for the stump of the curly-haired man's tree, no anomalies have been found anywhere else.

"Either the corpse in the diary doesn't exist at all, or it's the corpse that killed Curly......" Chu Chen clenched the kitchen knife hard, and he had already prepared for the worst in his heart,

"It's already noon for such a toss, it's a little strange, I haven't touched anyone during the time I've been digging trees? Aren't they exploring outside the castle? ”

Chu Chen shook his head, although there was always an indescribable weirdness, it was useless to think about it so much now.

The information is still not enough, if you want to survive successfully, you must take the initiative, and you can only wait for death by hiding your head!

"It's time to enter the castle, add a buff first...... Ahem! Chu Chen lit Huazi and took a sip, and immediately choked and coughed,

"What does it smell like, it's so choking...... Dean: How do they like to smoke this? ”

He hadn't smoked, for no other reason.

Poor.

Growing up in an orphanage, he had very little pocket money, and later he was admitted to a key university, and finally he was able to work part-time as a tutor with a good diploma.

As a result, his brain problems worsened, forcing him to spend money on medication in the hospital.

Coming and going like this, not to mention smoking, Chu Chen has to think carefully about eating.

"Growing up so big, I have never had anything to do with money." Chu Chen smiled bitterly and instructed the shadow to push open the gate of the ancient castle.

"Crunch."

The door opens.

What catches your eye is still the family portrait of the four people, and the strange thing is that the family portrait is empty at this time, and the original four portraits have all disappeared!

And below the family portrait, there is a girl holding scissors and combing a ponytail.

The ponytail girl looked back at the door when she heard the sound, and when she saw the face of the comer, she raised her hand in surprise and greeted: "Ah, No. 7!" Here and here! I walked around the castle for a long time, and finally met people! ”

Chu Chen finished smoking Huazi in one go, and threw the cigarette butt to the ground casually, although his face was smiling, his eyes were as cold as the cold pool of March: "Ha, what kind of trouble is this?" ”

He remembered this ponytail, and the other party was none other than the one who suddenly disappeared last night...... Number 4!
