94, one less
It was only about half a minute after Zhou Rong and the others went in that Penfolds quietly leaned over, and he carefully chose the position of his feet, for fear of stepping on a dead branch and making a sound.
Walking here, he couldn't help but admire Zhou Rong and Yin Zhiping, experienced players are different, their footsteps are almost inaudible.
He ducked under the window, took a deep breath, and poked his head out to glance in.
Just caught the moment when Zhou Rong and Yin Zhiping disappeared in front of the corner of the stairs.
They went upstairs.
Don't...... Penfolds had a strange expression, the clue is upstairs?
He stared at the last place before the two of them disappeared, and it was pitch black, like a monster's mouth, waiting to devour everything that came close.
At the same time, green tendons gradually appeared on his hands holding on to the wall.
At this moment, Penfolds is like a different person, there is irrepressible madness and entanglement in his distorted eyes, and he is brewing a more daring action.
He's going to follow and see what's inside.
Although the idea is bold, it is also a helpless move.
He was just an ordinary person, and he could clearly feel the disregard of his teammates around him, and this time his teammates were much stronger than in his last mission.
That's a good thing, but in a way, it's also a bad thing.
According to his understanding, the absence of newcomers among his teammates means that the difficulty factor of this mission is higher, that is, there are few people who can survive.
3, or 4...... Even if it was five, he pursed his lips, feeling that he would not be one of them.
He was so weak, so weak that even if he got into the trap of a ghost, he didn't know it.
Therefore, in order to survive, he can only find another way.
Penfolds silently calculated in his heart: Zhou Rong and Yin Zhiping are not ordinary people, they are willing to take such a big risk, there must be crucial clues in them.
I can't say, I can live by relying on this clue.
He wasn't terrified of being discovered, as the man in the previous book had vaguely revealed that killing a teammate in a nightmare would cause something terrible.
Therefore, even if they were discovered, Zhou Rong and the others did not dare to do anything to themselves, but they would be caught by themselves because of the matter of leaving without permission.
In other words, the cost of trial and error is very low, and the benefits are extremely high.
He no longer hesitated, and after listening quietly for a while, he didn't notice anything unusual, and put his hands on the windowsill, tried many times in succession, and finally climbed up.
When he came to this building, he realized that the inside was far more luxurious than he imagined, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the rooms outside were thatched huts.
It was only dark and he could only see a little distance around him, so he found a wall, and then leaned against the wall and slowly approached the stairs.
"Boom!"
His attention was focused on the vicinity of the stairs, and he didn't realize that his leg suddenly bumped into something, and although the sound was not loud, it was very abrupt in the absolute silence of the night.
Penfolds felt that the whole person was not good.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the upstairs movements.
Upstairs...... There was no sound, as if the two of them had disappeared into thin air.
Of course they weren't going to disappear, Penfolds guessed they must have heard the noise downstairs and quietly hid, not daring to move again.
Thinking of this, Penfolds no longer hid his footsteps, but ran upstairs with a few steps.
The moment he emerged from the stairs, Penfolds' already nervous face gradually flushed, and he slowed down to look confident.
"You don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?"
Penfolds raised his leg and walked towards the two.
Zhou Rong and Yin Zhiping stood not far from him, looking at him coldly, their arms naturally drooping, and they didn't say a word.
Penfolds frowned, this scene was different from what he thought.
He stopped, and after a while, he dared to ask again: "Why don't you speak?" β
As soon as the words fell, he saw Zhou Rong Yin Zhiping slowly raise his right hand, pointing at him in unison with a very strange fit, and then their necks seemed to be unable to support the weight of their heads, and they tilted to the right.
"Click-"
Penfolds turned and ran.
Even if he wasn't smart, he could see that there was something wrong with Zhou Rong and Yin Zhiping in front of him, even if they weren't pretending to be ghosts, they were corpses manipulated by ghosts.
Maybe...... The real Zhou Rong Yin Zhiping was already dead after stepping into this building.
But just as he turned around and didn't run a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
I don't know when a dark shadow appeared on the staircase that was originally empty.
His pupils shrank, and his heart seemed to be slammed, and then, a strange thought flashed in his mind, the ...... of the fingers of the two people just now Could it be this dark shadow?
Before his thoughts could bear fruit, just as the dark clouds had dispersed and the moonlight had poured into the room through the broken window, Penfolds finally saw that it was not a dark shadow at all, but a man crouching on the ground.
......
"Do you see who it is?" Zhou Rong lowered his voice.
Su Zhiyuan, Dui Shiyu, and Jiang Zhongyi were all crowded behind the door, they did not choose to open the door, but only opened the door through a gap and looked out through the gap.
Jiang Zhongyi's throat rolled up and down, and he said in an uncertain tone: "It seems to ...... It seems to be Penfolds. β
He was on vigil before, compared to Su Zhiyuan, who was on vigil last time, he was really conscientious, and every few minutes, he had to carefully get to the position of the door and look out.
Just 10 minutes ago, when he looked out again, Leng Buding noticed a sneaky shadow.
But due to the angle problem, after discovering the black shadow, before he could take a closer look, the black shadow disappeared from his field of vision.
In a panic, he only vaguely remembered the back of the black shadow, judging that it was Penfolds.
"What should I do?" Jiang Zhongyi habitually looked at Zhou Rong and asked, "Do you want to inform others?" β
Zhou Rong lowered his head and was thinking, and did not answer for the time being.
For Zhou Rong, he was more concerned about how Penfolds dared to leave the room alone, or at night, and the village chief deliberately emphasized that he should not go out at will during the night before leaving.
Penfolds may be stupid, but it's not a fool either, so there's definitely something wrong with that.
"Mr. Yin," Zhou Rong seemed to remember something, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Zhiyuan, "What do you think?" β
From just now, Su Zhiyuan's face became very unnatural, tangled, regretful, and regretful...... And all this did not escape Zhou Rong's eyes, and he thought that maybe the former had discovered something.
Su Zhiyuan touched his chin, and after a while, he said regretfully: "It's a pity that sweet potato." β
Zhou Rong: "??? β
Jiang Zhongyi: "??? β
Dui Shiyu: "I'll just say that he has a brain problem, you don't believe it......"
Zhou Rong, who calmed down, tried to understand Su Zhiyuan's words from another angle, "Mr. Yin," he swallowed, looked at Su Zhiyuan and said quickly, "What do you mean...... Penfolds ......"
"If the one just now was the real Penfolds, he either found some clue or was seduced by something," Dui Shiyu glanced at Zhou Rong impatiently, "but the result is the same." β
Jiang Zhongyi's face turned pale, and everyone knew what the things in Shiyu's mouth meant.
"Of course, there is a second possibility," Dui Shiyu said coldly: "That Penfolds just now was pretending to be a ghost, and the purpose was to lure us out." β
Jiang Zhongyi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thinking in his heart that this ghost was probably thinking too much, it was so dark outside, and the neuropathy would come out......
"Crunchβ"
The noise made by the rotation of the old door shaft was like a pair of scissors, which cut Jiang Zhongyi's soul at once, and his eyes widened, watching Su Zhiyuan open the door, and then walked out.
After that, it was Dui Shiyu and Zhou Rong.
He hurriedly looked out and found that the door of the other room was also pushed open, and Pei Gan, Yu Man, and Li Lu were standing behind the door, their faces were very ugly.
Especially Li Lu, who is so far away, you can still see her body trembling.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Jiang Zhongyi pulled his legs and chased after him.
Let him stay in the room by himself, it is better to kill him.
Now that things have become clear, it seems that the one who left is indeed the real Penfolds, not a ghost pretending.
"I ...... I slept very lightly," Li Lu trembled, the temperature of the stove could not dispel the chill in her heart, "I heard the wind outside, so I got up to see what was going on, but I didn't expect the door to open, and then Penfold him....... He's gone! β
After listening to what Jiang Zhongyi said, Pei Gan's face became gloomy, and after a while, he said: "Penfolds should be confused by ghosts, I'm afraid that there will be less luck." β
In addition, everyone really can't find a reason for him to leave alone, after all, the mission has just begun, and it is impossible for him to find the key clues and clear the mission directly.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Fortunately, the people here are not newcomers, although there are mood swings in the eyes of some people, but in the final analysis, it is just a simple rabbit and a fox sadness.
Dead people in the abyssal space are a regular thing, and all you need to do is to deduce the taboos in the mission from them, and then avoid becoming the next dead person.
The advantage of the gathering of veteran players is that no one will ask the stupid question of whether to go to someone, and everyone will gather in the same room to rest.
Close the door and burn the fire, while raising the number of people on the vigil to two.
Shifts are changed every hour and a half to make sure everyone has plenty of rest.
And so, until dawn.
It wasn't until footsteps sounded outside the door that Zhou Rong pushed the door open.
It was still the village chief and the swarthy strong man, the man was carrying a long flat pole, and the flat pole was hung from a basket at both ends, covered with a thick cloth, and there was a faint fragrance coming out.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the village chief was busy compensating as soon as he came up, "The high-ranking people are hungry, come on, eat something quickly!" β
Lift the thick cloth, and below is a whole drawer of steamed buns.
But it is not the usual white steamed bun, but pale yellow, and if you look closely, there are very rough bumps on it.
In this era, large white noodles should be a very luxurious thing, even these miscellaneous grains, I am afraid that the village chief made up door-to-door.
After thanking everyone, they took the steamed buns and ate them, and in another box was a black jar with a tool similar to a gourd split in half and drinking water floating.
I felt that I was choking on eating steamed buns, so I went to drink some water.
Everyone ate and drank in silence, and no one spoke.
The village chief's eyes looked at the people from time to time, and his mouth opened a few times, but in the end, as if to cover up, he said a few polite words and prevaricated.
Dui Shiyu leaned against the window alone and ate steamed buns, looking at the village chief from time to time, in fact, when the village chief first appeared, she found that the village chief was checking their number intentionally or unintentionally.
From time to time, he craned his neck and glanced into the room.
He had already realized that there was one person missing, but he ignored it as if he was nothing, and his eyes gradually became subtle.
