Chapter 11: Ophelice Manor (5)
No. 4 wears a small waistcoat with an open navel on the top, a very thin jacket on the outside, a pair of wide-legged pants and sneakers underneath, and the makeup is very exquisite.
Chu Chen stared at the girl in front of him who looked about the same age as him, thought about it, and silently put away his shadow.
Walked slowly to the other party, took out Huazi from his pocket, and shook out one: "Come on?" ”
"When do you smoke again?" The ponytail woman retracts the scissors into the storage space and waves her hand.
Chu Chen continued to shake the cigarette box, and said lightly: "Consumables, you can add buffs." ”
"Tender and generous? There had to be one. The ponytail raised her eyebrows, tilted her head forward slightly, and took out a cigarette in her mouth.
"Little brother borrows a fire."
Chu Chen nodded, took out a lighter, lit it for the ponytail, and then shook out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog.
Long before entering the trial, he packed some basic supplies such as water, food, mirrors, and flashlights into the storage space, and the lighter was no exception.
He doesn't want to be exposed to the other party yet.
Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke rings, Chu Chen looked at the ponytail girl and asked casually, "What happened last night?" ”
Hearing this, the latter glanced at the kitchen knife in Chu Chen's hand, shook the ashes of his cigarette, and said, "I know you are suspicious of me, after all, I disappeared very strangely, and it is normal to be suspicious." ”
After a pause, she added, "The time point when I disappeared was the moment when the staircase rule was triggered on the 3rd, what about the specific situation...... You may not believe it, but I blinked, and in less than half a second, I realized that I was the only one left in the entire hall. ”
Separated from the others?
When I was just digging outside, I didn't touch anyone for nearly four hours, which is really abnormal.
Chu Chen thought thoughtfully, nodded, and asked again, "Did anyone touch you before you disappeared?" Or have you done something that the rest of us haven't done? ”
"No, no, I'm just like you, I'm looking at the No. 3 cup below." The ponytail shook her head, and then seemed to suddenly think of something, and frowned,
"Wait...... One thing I may be different from you is that when I entered the manor, I found a quest item in the spit of the pool in front of the gate. ”
Found a quest item in the pool spout?
Can you find this kind of place?
Chu Chen estimated in his heart whether this girl's skills were related to "reconnaissance".
Quest Items...... Isn't the bear doll I picked up outside the manor also a quest item?
Don't......
"Look at your expression, you have it too? I remember you said last night that you didn't find anything outside the manor. ”
The ponytail girl smiled slyly, took off a red earring on her right ear, and handed it to Chu Chen,
"Let's not hide it, there are a lot of doubts in this trial, let's exchange useful information with each other."
Chu Chen nodded, took the earrings, took out the bear doll from the storage space, and handed it to the ponytail.
[Name: My Ruby (Contaminated)]
[Type: Quest Item]
[Quality: tattered]
[Effect: Lady Lisa will show the owner of the earrings the way.] 】
[Equipment conditions: There are earlobes, and there are earlobes with pierced ears.] 】
[Note: Baron Ophelix gave Lady Lisa an engagement gift, and Lady Lisa liked it very much, and affectionately called it "My Ruby."] 】
It is an earring about the size of a quarter of a small fingernail with a detachable oval red gemstone.
It's just that the originally bright ruby looks dull at this time, and there are some cracks on the gemstone, and you can vaguely see a few round balls wriggling in it, and you can even feel a nauseous dizziness after staring at it for a long time.
Baroness earrings?
Returning the items in each other's hands to each other, Chu Chen held his chin with his hand and said in a deep voice: "So, the reason why the two of us are separated from the others may be because of these two task props?" ”
The ponytail girl also put the earrings back on, nodded and said, "Combined with the situation of you and me, plus this earring with the function of inducing vomiting, and your doll with evil eyeballs, it is not difficult to guess that these task props may have side effects."
And the side effect is to bring you and me to this different space that seems to be very similar, but in fact is not in the same place as everyone else. ”
They are now in a completely different space than the other five people!
Chu Chen also agrees with this point of view, and he can now basically confirm that the No. 4 in front of him is not pretending.
Not to mention being able to smoke Huazi, knowing the task, and having storage space, these are obviously the characteristics that only those of them who are trialists will have.
"The inside of the castle is indeed a little different from last night, the current hall is more eerie and dilapidated than last night, and the smell of blood is also stronger, at first I thought it was some difference between day and night, but now that I think about it, it may be the reason why the two spaces are different."
"You can also see that there are subtle differences in the environment?" The ponytail blinked with interest and said,
"I only rely on skills to find this, isn't your skill the shadow, and it also has the effect of 'detection'?"
Among all her attributes, she has the strongest "perception", with 7 points like Chu Chen, plus the skills of detection and perception obtained in the novice trial.
This superposition allowed her to successfully discover the quest props that no one else had discovered as the "fourth to enter the hall".
It was also by relying on this powerful reconnaissance and perception ability that she was able to find that the environment she was in now was a little different from last night.
But how did Chu Chen find out?
She has seen the shadow, although she doesn't know the specific effect of this skill, but it is probably a "shadow-based summoning skill" that didn't run.
A shadow, not quite like a detective.
"Here's what I remembered." Chu Chen pointed to his head,
"I have a good memory since I was a child, and I never forget what I see."
This is true, he has the ability to "collect information about his surroundings uncontrollably", and discovering the difference between the two environments is as simple as distinguishing Xiong Daxiong Er.
Although it looks similar, you can see the difference at a glance.
For Chu Chen, he could even call out the corresponding name of each Minion.
"Don't forget, tsk, other people's school tyrants, have been hit." The ponytail pouted, and continued,
"Let's continue with last night's incident, I was a little panicked when I found out that you were all gone, thinking that it would soon be dark and I had to enter the room quickly, but I didn't dare to go up the stairs, and I didn't have enough time to find another way, I thought I was going to get cold, but it turned out to be ......"
At this point, she pointed to her earrings and said with a smile, "As a result, the baroness in the family portrait suddenly appeared, and she took me to a small room on the first floor, where I spent last night safely. ”
"Then the ruby turned dull." The ponytail sighed, helplessly spreading her hands,
"It seems that this baby can only save me once, my combat ability is not very good, and then I have to rely on you to cover me, little brother."
"So you haven't been up to the second floor?" Chu Chen asked tentatively.
The ponytail sighed again: "No, didn't the stairs suck Brother No. 3 in?" How dare I go up? ”
She entered the space when White Fur No. 3 first triggered the rules, unaware that the staircase had been cracked.
"Did you find any notes? The kind that memorizes the rules. Chu Chen asked again.
"Rules? Hmm...... "The ponytail woman put her hands around her chest, as if thinking,
"Not a note, but there was writing on the wall of the room I stayed in last night."
"Walls? Take me to see it. ”
“OK。” The ponytail nodded, and then said,
"You also show me the rules you found, since you can ask this question, it means that you have it too, right?"
Chu Chen also nodded, took out the rule note, handed it to the ponytail, and reminded: "The content on it has been modified, and you can't believe it all." ”
"Understood."
Then the two of them came to a small room together, pushed open the door, and four lines of bloody characters came into view.
[1. Always pay attention to the number of steps.] 】
[2. Be careful of people who are separated and come back alone, and don't believe what he says. 】
[3. If you encounter a few little girls, please run away immediately and don't try to fight her.] 】
[4. Please always remember that you are a human being, and that humans are creatures that walk upright with two hands, two feet, two eyes, and one mouth. 】
