Being pulled into the portrait again this time, Shao Ci calmed down a lot. At least he was an experienced person. Looking around, he found that he was standing outside the restaurant this time.
It seems that this time is different from last time... I thought it would come out directly from the storage room.
Although the last time I just watched something in the way of a bystander and left safely, no one can guarantee whether it will be as peaceful as that time this time.
The next moment, someone suddenly patted Shao Ci on the shoulder. Shao Ci was startled, and suddenly turned his head to look, and saw an attendant who frowned and looked at him, "Is there any need to make such a fuss?"
Shao Ci looked down at himself, only to realize that he was already wearing the clothes of an attendant, but his body was still the same... Shao Ci was sure that he had nothing attached to other people, but the others looked like he was looking at him. It looks very familiar, so it should be the setting of the world of this portrait
However, the necklace on his neck is so conspicuous, but no one cares about it at all, and it seems that no one else can see it.
Shao Ci: "..." I feel that this time things will be very troublesome.
"Okay." The other party directly handed over the medicine on the tray, and warned: "Be careful when sending it in..."
"Well..." Shao Ci's cold sweat was about to break out, but he couldn't refuse. If he refused in this place, he didn't know what would happen... Even if all the servants turned into ghosts to surround him in the next moment, it wouldn't matter something impossible.
Besides, since he was arranged to do this, it must have something to do with the main storyline.
Shao Ci asked: "Which room is that sent to?"
The attendant looked at Shao Ci with complicated eyes, "It's going to the young master's bedroom, why did you forget such a thing? If something goes wrong then no one can protect you."
"Just want to confirm again." Shao Ci said hastily.
Then Shao Ci gritted his teeth and walked upstairs with the tray.
This manor seems to be the convalescent place of the Duke of Stuart, and his parents don't live here, so the other's room must be the master bedroom.
At this time, Shao Ci was really thankful that he had seen the map before, otherwise asking more now would definitely make the other party more suspicious.
Fortunately, Shao Ci had the experience of seeing someone knock on the door last time. After knocking, he pushed the door open.
This is a very luxurious room, but with a bit of lifelessness.
Even though the windows were wide open and it was still daytime outside, the room was a bit gloomy, which made people feel a little more scared for no reason.
Duke Stuart, no, now he is just Master Stuart, he is half leaning on the bed.
And there was not a single servant in the room.
His face looked paler, his blue eyes were looking out of the window, and he turned his head only when he heard the movement.
Although she looked much more haggard than before, the other party's appearance appeared more delicate, like a fragile vase, beautiful and fragile.
Shao Ci felt in his heart that he was not as timid as before.
After all, there was only Master Stuart this time, and there were no servants. Even if the other party wanted to find someone to attack him, it would still take time. During this time, Shao Ci could find a way to escape.
Then Shao Ci stepped forward and carefully placed the plate on the table beside the bed, but due to his unskilled work, the plate still made a crisp sound.
Shao Ci: "..." Damn it!
Master Stuart just turned his head, glanced at Shao Ci, as if he had just seen who he was, then smiled slightly, and said softly, "Hey me."
Shao Ci breathed a sigh of relief, probably... it seems... Maybe it's okay.
In fact, he still didn't want to have any direct conflict with the other party, after all, he didn't know what would happen in this portrait.
Then Shao Ci carefully helped the other party to sit on the side of the bed, feeling that the other party's body was too thin.
If Shao Ci hadn't remembered how sad Master Stuart was at the beginning, he would probably have some sympathy for him now.
Shao Ci originally wanted to pick up the bowl, but the other party held his hand directly.
The other party's hand was very cold, making Shao Ci a shock on the spot.
"You sympathize with me?" Master Stuart looked at Shao Ci and said suddenly.
"No... no..." Shao Ci hurriedly said, "How dare I."
"Really... Actually, I think you are very interesting." Master Stuart said: "Others will be afraid of me, even if they pretend to be calm on the surface, I can still tell at a glance. But your eyes only mercy."
Shao Ci: "..." Obviously, he was terribly frightened, but it was just a game after all... so he wasn't scared to that extent.
Then Master Stuart said again, "Come over here... sit here."
Although Shao Ci didn't know what he was going to do, he bit the bullet and sat down like this.
The other party stood up and walked in front of Shao Ci.
Shao Ci was startled, and looked up at him. The next moment, Master Stuart stuck out his tongue and licked his eyeballs.
What the hell? !
"!??" Shao Ci was frightened for an instant, physical tears fell subconsciously, and the other party kissed lightly along the place where the tears fell.
Shao Ci is still in shock. He has traveled through so many worlds and met so many snake spirits, sick, coquettish, and perverted things. This is the first time he has had his eyeballs licked!
Although I have heard that this is some kind of play, but Shao Ci absolutely refuses...
But Master Stuart stretched out his hand to caress Shao Ci's cheek, looking into his eyes with obsession.
"Your eyes are beautiful, when I saw them for the first time, I wanted to dig them out..."
Shao Ci said: "... this, this... please don't scare me..."
But Shao Ci has no doubt that the other party will really do such a thing...
"Yeah, if it's dug out, it won't be as beautiful as it is now." The other party smiled again.
Shao Ci: "..." Wow, he has to persevere, maybe there will be some dialogue related to the main line.
Then Master Stuart pinched Shao Ci's chin again, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you."
Shao Ci: "... yes, yes." However, this guarantee is definitely useless, if you want to chop off your hands and goug your eyes, it will be over.
"After all, you are different from those people." He said softly, as if speaking to Shao Ci, but also as if speaking to himself.
Shao Ci was taken aback by his words, did the other party realize that he is not the person who should be here
No, no, this place is just a virtual space created by the portrait anyway, and it doesn't really exist.
And the next moment, Shao Ci's mind began to dizzy, and the surrounding space also tended to distort.
It seemed that it was time to leave again, Shao Ci breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally persisted until this point. Although the previous conversation was very peaceful, he always felt that if he disagreed with each other, he would be killed by the other party.
Once he's gone, everything here is none of his business.
Shao Ci thought so, but the next moment, his wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Could it be that the other party realized that he was leaving
Shao Ci raised his head in astonishment, and saw that Master Stuart was holding onto his wrist with his slender and slender hands that were as pale as his face.
And those blue eyes that were originally smiling were now full of coldness.
"You have to go." He said softly.
"!" Before Shao Ci could speak hastily, he felt his body lighten a little. When he looked down, his body had begun to become transparent.
But Master Stuart suddenly reached out his hand to grab Shao Ci, but he was in vain, and just tore off the necklace that was originally hanging around Shao Ci's neck.
Looking at the person who completely disappeared before his eyes, his eyes darkened slightly, and he tightened the necklace in his hand.
"...you will definitely come back again."
—
Shao Ci was pushed out of the portrait suddenly, and fell directly to the ground. He thought he would fall to the ground, but he bumped into something.
He got up and found that he had fallen on Uitt, and quickly stood up, "I'm sorry, Paul."
Uit also stood up and cast a cold glance at Shao Ci.
But it's also because the light is very dim now, otherwise Shao Ci would definitely be able to see his red ears.
"I thought you would definitely die in the portrait." Uit said coldly, "I didn't expect you to be quite lucky."
Shao Ci always felt uneasy, especially when he was pushed into the portrait before, and the ghost(?) who pushed him licked his ear. Numb.
"Could it be, have you found any information about the portrait?" Shao Ci looked up.
"Almost." Uitt handed over a stack of documents, "I sorted this out when you disappeared, read it quickly for me."
Shao Ci took the documents and looked at them, they were all diaries.
Shao Ci: "..." Sure enough, the setting of this dungeon is to drop the diary after killing the ghost.
There are many people's diaries in these diaries, and the handwriting is also different, describing what happened that year from different aspects.
Shao Ci also vaguely deduced what happened in the first place from it.
Probably after moving into the manor, someone found the portraits in the old storage room. Originally, these dilapidated portraits were to be disposed of, but the hostess became obsessed with these portraits after seeing them, and made people put them All hung up.
These portraits are already very dilapidated, and hanging them made many people feel very weird, and the host also expressed angrily that he wanted to dispose of these portraits.
But only on the second day, the hostess fell seriously ill, but the hostess didn't seem to see it, she only knew to look at these portraits every day.
And then, the hostess' necklace disappeared, and immediately ordered all the servants to look for it.
But no matter what necklace everyone found, the hostess would say no nervously, and then insulted those servants fiercely. For a while, everyone thought that the hostess was crazy.
The state of the servants who were looking for the necklace was getting worse and worse. They were looking for the necklace without doing anything every day, as if they were in a daze, and finally all of them disappeared.
The male host's condition is getting worse and worse, and he is almost dying.
But at this time, a maid saw that one night, the hostess actually fed the poison to the man, and then laughed out loud after the other party died, as if going crazy.
After that, the maid fled quickly, and hastily wrote this last diary.
Shao Ci: "...It really is these portraits that cause all the problems."
"These portraits probably can make people mentally disturbed." Uit pondered: "Maybe, they can also control and influence the thinking of some people. As for the missing people, I am afraid that they will be swallowed by those portraits just like you Alright."
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Shao Ci again, "That's why I was surprised, I thought you wouldn't come out."
After thinking about it, Shao Ci was a little scared, and his face turned pale.
Noticing this, Uitt said nonchalantly: "But don't worry, this is just a game, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Shao Ci: "..." Can he understand this sentence as comforting him
"The current situation is very simple, it's just that there are some worthless ghosts, which will not affect our lives." Uitt said: "So I speculate that as time goes by, these ghosts swallowed up by the portraits Ghosts will come out one by one."
Shao Ci: "...what the hell?" So many people have died here, if all these ghosts come, even Uitt will have some difficulty.
"Maybe, if we stay here for a long time, even our thinking will be affected by the portraits, and we will eventually kill ourselves." Uitt said, "As soon as possible."
Shao Ci: "The player's spirit is affected... Is this kind of thing okay?"
"This kind of thing also happens." Uit looked at Shao Ci with eyes like looking at a fool, "But when the mind is completely controlled, it will be judged dead by the system, and it will be kicked out of the dungeon directly. "
Shao Ci: "...So that's how it is."
"I don't know how you entered the A-level dungeon, it's like a newcomer." Uit said casually, then looked down at the portrait on the ground,
This portrait is completely different from the previous one. It looks very dilapidated, and even the faces of the people on it are not clear, as if covered in fog, with a bit of a strange air.
Without hesitation, Uitt directly scratched with the black sickle, the portrait was torn apart, and then turned into black mist and dissipated.
"What needs to be determined now is how many portraits there are." Uitt said: "It is estimated that if all the portraits are destroyed, everything will be over."
Shao Ci: "In this case, you should read the diary of the hostess?" That kind of thing should exist...
"Ah—" Suddenly, a woman's scream of extreme fear came from outside. It stands to reason that the storage room is fairly soundproof, but the two people inside could hear it clearly.
"It's the direction of the master bedroom." Uit stood up straight away, opened the door and walked out.
Shao Ci also followed closely behind him, he didn't dare to stay in the storage room by himself.
When passing by the study on the way, Shao Ci was startled, always feeling that the study that appeared in the portrait should not be such a simple existence.
Shao Ci reached out and pulled the door, only to find that it was locked.
But the moment he touched the doorknob, Shao Ci seemed to hear some laughter ringing in his ears. At the same time, an impulse surged up in his heart, and other things were left behind, and he took out the keys and tried one by one.
The next moment, many black figures appeared from the surrounding shadows, and they quickly attacked Shao Ci, but Shao Ci was still trying to lock the door in a daze, without paying attention to the surrounding situation at all.
Uit noticed that Shao Ci didn't keep up, turned his head to see this scene, frowned slightly, ran over quickly, and killed all the ghosts with a sickle.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, and directly grabbed Shao Ci's hand.
Shao Ci woke up in an instant, and only then realized that he was covered in cold sweat.
Uit gave Shao Ci a cold look, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to help you by the way so as not to cause any trouble."
Shao Ci turned his head and looked at the study room. The weird feeling just now had completely disappeared, and he still had lingering fears.
It's just that when he was just trying, he had tried all the keys, but none of them could open the door.
... Obviously, the key to the study is not in his hands.
The two hurried towards the master bedroom and encountered many ghosts along the way, all of which were easily dealt with by Uitt.
Soon the two came to the master bedroom in a hurry, but the door was wide open at this time, and that Anna was at the door with a frightened expression on her face, obviously she was the one who made the cry.
But inside the door, a red shadow's outstretched hand pinched the neck of Daemons, no matter how much Damons struggled, it was completely useless.
The red figure could vaguely tell that it was a woman in a red dress, but her face was unclear, and she had a very strange aura around her. She kept saying in a hoarse voice like crazy: "Give me...give me...quickly." Give me… "
Seeing such a situation, Shao Ci immediately understood that this must be the ghost of the hostess, and her aura was completely different from those of the maids.
When Anna saw Uit, she seemed to see a savior, and immediately said: "Master Uit, please save us, Daemons is going to..."
"What happened?" Uit gave her a faint look.
Anna said nervously, "No, it's nothing, the female ghost suddenly went crazy after we came in."
In fact, after cheating Shao Ci, the couple investigated on the other side, and after killing some female ghosts, they were lucky enough to find the key to the bedroom.
And when they came to the bedroom, there was nothing in the room at first, only an open diary on the table.
After opening the diary, the two immediately saw some very important information, but then the female ghost appeared. Anna didn't want to back down, but she really couldn't beat him. Damengs was still caught by the other party. Only then had to back away.
Now Anna is still a little reconciled, feeling that she is only one step away from clearing the level, so naturally she doesn't want to tell this matter.
Besides, it's useless to please a cold person like Uitt, it's better to get something good.
But at this moment, Anna still didn't know which family Uitt belonged to, otherwise, she wouldn't dare to lie to Uiter even if she lent her ten more guts.
Uit looked at her coldly, "If you don't tell me, I won't save people."
Anna looked at Uitt in astonishment, realized that the other party was actually telling the truth, and then saw that Damons inside looked like he was about to die, she still gritted her teeth and said: "...as long as you can see the diary inside is not You know? Anyway, you won’t believe me if I say anything.”
Uitt seemed to have an idea when he heard this, and walked into it holding a sickle.
Even he, facing this kind of powerful ghost, looked a little dignified, and attacked the hands of the hostess ghost.
The next moment, the hostess ghost let out a shrill scream, and concentrated on dealing with Uitt, while Damengs was thrown to the ground.
Anna hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to help Damons up.
This hostess is obviously not comparable to ordinary ghosts, and she has become stronger under Uit's offensive. Even if Uit used a black scythe with additional functions, the spreading speed of the black flame can't keep up with the opponent's regeneration speed .
Seeing that something was wrong, Anna immediately supported Damengs and hurried to the door, fearing that she would be affected.
While Uitt and the ghost of the hostess were still fighting, Shao Ci subconsciously took out the necklace in his hand.
Apparently what the hostess wanted was also a necklace, and the string he got from a female ghost before has been lost, and now only the pearl necklace is still there.
This string of necklaces was denied by the maid, if it's wrong this time... the consequences will not be easy to bear.
It's just that the necklace with the rhombus pendant was left in the portrait by him, and that portrait was destroyed by Uitt. Could it be that this task cannot be completed
While Shao Ci was hesitating, Anna sat Damengs by the wall, then walked over, and said, "I'm really sorry about what happened before, after all, there was nothing we could do under the circumstances. , what is going on with this necklace..."
Of course, Shao Ci would not believe the other party's words in his heart, but now everyone is facing the same enemy, so he planned to test the other party in his heart, and said: "I found this necklace in one place, but..."
Before she finished speaking, Anna snatched the necklace from Shao Ci's hand, glanced at Shao Ci proudly, and then quickly ran towards the bedroom with a look of great joy on her face.
She raised the necklace in her hand, and said to the ghost of the hostess: "This is what you are looking for—"
