Dating The Fallen Lord

Chapter 25: Caged Bird7

Views:

The sky outside the window gradually darkened.

The twin sisters looked at the sky above the villa with serious expressions.

They are like each other's half, with a tacit understanding. They can see what she sees, hear what she hears, know what she knows, and feel what she feels. There is no barrier between them, making them close and intimate.

This kind of telepathic connection also allows them to survive better in the gaming world. With one more game, they will be promoted to the C-level gaming field.

"Sister, I don't feel well. It seems like there are many eyes spying on us, but we can't find the source." Sister Ling Le said with a bitter face.

Ling Huan hugged his sister, rubbed her head and comforted her.

Ge Guang was wiping his gun, which was a psychic gun that was very useful against ghosts. He bought it with all his points after the end of the fifth game world.

After buying this psychic gun, Ge Guang instantly became a pauper, and until now he could only get the boss's points.

He said to the twin sisters, "Today is the fifth night. The power of the ghosts in the villa must be stronger than the previous few nights. It is normal to feel this way! You two must be alert later and don't implicate Boss Qi."

The two sisters retorted in unison: "No way, don't underestimate us!"

When it was completely dark, the stars above the villa began to twinkle one by one.

Qi Yuheng sat on a round carved chair, took out a pair of black gloves from his bag, put them on carefully, and then stood up, "Let's go out."

The two sisters and Ge Guang stood up at the same time, weapons in hand, and followed them.

Ge Guang walked forward and opened the door. The dim light of the street lights shone into the corridor. All the doors on the second floor were closed and it was extremely quiet.

"Strange, why aren't there any other people?" Ge Guang asked in confusion. It didn't make sense for other players to stay put and not come out.

Qi Yuheng looked at the room at the end, thought for a moment, then walked over and knocked on the door.

The door remained closed, as if no one was inside.

Qi Yuheng understood and said, "It seems that all the players are isolated in different spaces."

Ge Guang and the other two quickly understood what he meant and asked in surprise, "Boss Qi, are you saying that although the others are also in the villa at this time, we can't see them?"

Qi Yuheng nodded slightly.

This phenomenon is like this villa turning into multiple different spaces, like parallel spaces, which do not intersect with each other. Players are in different parallel spaces and cannot see each other even if they stand in front of each other.

"Interesting." Qi Yuheng smiled. It seemed that something in the dark didn't want the players to unite.

As he was speaking, he saw a dark shadow appear at the stairs.

The black shadow spread from the stairs like a pool of black water, not only swallowing up the stairs, but also swallowing up the street lights. Wherever it passed, there was thick darkness.

Ge Guang and the twin sisters' eyelids twitched slightly, remembering Gu Jiu's words.

The ghosts in the villa called these shadows ghosts, and Gu Jiu took out the key from these ghosts. But she didn't say that these ghosts were so scary and had such a large range, how could they find the key from these shadows

The three of them turned to look at Qi Yuheng and found that he was also frowning. They were stunned. Could it be that Boss Qi also found it difficult

Qi Yuheng sighed, stroked his clothes, and said distressedly: "It looks like it will be dirty again later."

Three people: “…” There’s no cure for this mysophobia.

"Let's go." Qi Yuheng said, and walked towards the stairs first.

The boundless darkness was like a monster that would prey on its prey. Qi Yuheng stepped in without any hesitation, and the other three followed closely behind.

This scene happened in many places in the villa, and other players also opened their doors and walked out.

Seven new people are hiding in a room tonight.

Ai Ruyi sat between two strong male roommates, hoping to gain more sense of security.

However, after spending a few days in the game world, she understood that a man who looked strong was not necessarily a strong man. Similarly, a woman who looked delicate and squeamish was not necessarily a weak person. Everything in the game world was deceptive.

The other newcomers looked at the door with fear on their faces. No one dared to open the door. Finally, Xu Chenfeng stood up first and walked towards the door.

Just as he was about to open the door with his hand on the doorknob, someone hurriedly called out to him, "Wait, are you going to open the door like this?"

Xu Chenfeng turned his head, his expression was very calm, his eyes were full of indifference, "What else?"

"It's very dangerous outside..." someone said cautiously.

"But we can't hide here forever, can we?" Xu Chenfeng frowned, "Sister Gu said that we can cooperate."

They are indeed newcomers who have no props, powers or skills, but being a newcomer does not mean they can only hide behind the official players. Those official players also went through the rookie period.

These words made everyone present hesitate, but their timid nature prevented them from mustering up the courage to take the initiative to face the danger.

"If you want to go, go by yourself. I'm not going anyway." A thin young man murmured. He hid himself in the gap between the cabinet and the wall, holding the cabinet door tightly with one hand, as if this would make him feel more secure.

Seeing his timid appearance, some people looked down on him, while others envied him.

Xu Chenfeng frowned slightly, ignored this person, and looked at the others, "What about you?"

The remaining five people looked at each other. Ai Ruyi timidly raised her hand, gritted her teeth and said, "I, I will go out with you."

The other four men looked at each other and said, "We'll go too."

These five people were the ones who had previously joined forces to steal Gu Jiu's food, but were ultimately scared away by Gu Jiu. Because they had personally experienced Gu Jiu's terror, which was greater than their fear of the ghosts in the villa, when Gu Jiu asked them to find the key, the five people still decided to go out even though they were scared.

Xu Chenfeng glanced at the few people and suddenly smiled.

He felt that Gu Jiu was an incredible person. She could give courage to the timid, make the despicable give up their despicableness, and make people unconsciously listen to her and act according to her orders.

Xu Chenfeng, Ai Ruyi and others found some weapons in the room. Although the weapons were things like hangers, clothes rods and table legs, they were better than nothing.

After the six people opened the door and went out, the man hiding between the cabinet and the corner quietly poked his head in, and he did not move until the door closed.

The man murmured, "It's so dangerous outside, why should we go out? We have nothing, shouldn't we hide and let those powerful people find the key? We are all newcomers, shouldn't the game protect us? Only a fool would go out..."

For a long time, there was silence outside the door.

The man felt that these people might have been eaten by ghosts outside after they went out, or they might have died.

"It's better to hide."

As the man spoke, he shrank into the corner, staring at the empty room without missing a single corner.

Suddenly, something touched his shoulder.

The man didn't care for a moment, until he was touched a second time, his body suddenly stiffened.

There was a smooth wall behind him, so he couldn't hide from anyone. So what was it that touched his shoulder from behind

The touch on his shoulder was extremely clear, and even had a certain weight, as if a hand was placed on his shoulder from behind. The man leaned there stiffly, his whole body trembling, his teeth making uncontrollable clattering sounds, and his whole body shaking like a sieve.

"Don't look for me... Don't look for me... I don't want to die..."

He murmured, but his body collapsed due to fear and exhaustion, and tears and snot flowed out.

At this moment, he finally regretted that he should have followed them out. Even if they died, at least it wouldn't be so scary if they died together.

The lights in the room were bright, and a huge black shadow was cast on the opposite wall.

Finally, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones crushing, blood splattered and spilled on the white porcelain floor tiles.

**

Gu Jiu and Lu Ji were standing in the lobby on the first floor.

All the lights in the hall were turned on, and the light from the luxurious crystal chandelier in the center was particularly bright. Against the darkness outside the window, the entire environment gave people a bleak impression.

Gu Jiu walked slowly around the hall and came to the wine cabinet in the northwest corner of the hall.

During the day, there is no wine cabinet.

She looked at the wines displayed on the wine cabinet and found that there were many famous wines that were rarely seen in the real world. They were expensive, and some were even lost.

"Aji, do you think this wine is real?" Gu Jiu turned around and asked.

Lu Ji shook his head, "I don't know."

After all, things like wine cabinets did not appear during the day, but suddenly appeared at night, so it was impossible to confirm whether they were real or fake.

Thinking about how the whole villa was overly quiet when they came out of the room at night, Lu Ji understood the current state of the villa. All the players were separated and located in different spaces.

They didn't even know where they were at the moment, or whether it was a villa where they had lived for a few days.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you open it."

She picked up a bottle of 1982 Lafite and lightly scratched it with her blood-red nails. The bottle mouth broke silently, and the rich aroma of wine filled her nose and floated in the air.

Gu Jiu sniffed the aroma of the wine, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "It's true."

Lu Ji looked at her in confusion, and then saw her neatly throw all the famous wines on the wine cabinet into her bag.

"My uncle and eldest brother both like wine tasting. It's rare to come across good wine, so of course I'll bring some for them, as souvenirs from my travels."

Lu Ji: “…” This reason was so powerful that she was speechless.

After taking away all the wine that he liked, Gu Jiu ignored the rest and continued to walk around the villa.

The villa was brightly lit at night, as if every corner was illuminated. It was much more luxurious than the Qingshan Village where there was only an oil lamp that could only burn for an hour.

Gu Jiu muttered, "I like this villa very much. The lights are so bright, and the electricity bill seems to be free! I thought the owner of the villa was very stingy and gave the players bird food every day, but I didn't expect that he even hid famous wine. I wonder what else he hid..."

Judging from the eager tone in her voice, it is obvious that if the young lady meets someone she is interested in, she will accept him without hesitation.

What's the difference between this and bandits entering the village? And the villa owner recruited these female bandits himself.

Lu Ji wanted to laugh when he heard it. He glanced at the darkness outside the window and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

When the owner of the villa heard this, he would probably explode with anger.

The two came to a warehouse on the first floor. Gu Jiu turned the door handle, but found that it couldn't be opened, so he took a step back.

"Aji, I leave it to you." She gave Lu Ji an extremely gentle smile, which was so dazzling that people were reluctant to take their eyes away from her smile.

Lu Ji lowered his eyes and kicked the door of the warehouse, which opened.

During the day, this warehouse is empty, but now it is filled with treasures, sparkling diamonds, glittering gold bars, dazzling gems... antiques, famous paintings, jewelry, it can be said that it has everything.

Gu Jiu only took a look and was not very interested. He said, "Why are they all junk?"

In the gaming world, props are of course the most valuable. Luxury items like these in the real world are not very tempting to players.

Lu Ji took a quick look and said, "These things are all real."

Gu Jiu lazily leaned against the door to rest, saying in a bored tone, "So what if it's true? We also have these things in the real world. If we take them back, how can we explain their origins? If people think they are anti-virus products, how embarrassing that would be."

Lu Ji had nothing to say.

The eldest lady always has her own reasons, just listen to her.

Although he had no interest, Gu Jiu still picked out some valuable things and threw them into his personal space.

Lu Ji didn't ask her what she was going to do, and even took the initiative to help her clean up. He pulled off a tablecloth and wrapped up some jewelry, jade, gold, antique calligraphy and paintings, so that these things would not be scattered together and take up too much space in her bag.

But the eldest lady still sighed and said, "There are only ten slots in my carry-on bag, which is not enough."

"You can buy a bigger one." Lu Ji consoled him. "When we get to Wujie City, you can buy it at the mall there. A carry-on bag with 100 slots costs 1,000 points, which is not expensive."

Gu Jiu lowered his head: "But I only have 150 points left now."

Lu Ji: "I have it here, I'll buy it for you!" Seeing her almond-shaped eyes looking straight at him, her face became slightly hot and she felt dizzy. She realized that what she said was inappropriate and quickly added, "What I mean is that I will lend you my points first. I believe in your ability and you will be able to pay me back soon."

Gu Jiu smiled and reached out to touch the girl's pale and cold face. "Aji, you are so nice. I am very happy to meet you."

Her voice was soft, as sweet as if it contained cotton candy. Lu Ji was filled with sweetness, and her coquettish tone made him even more dizzy. He wished he could give her all his points and then give himself to her.

Such a young lady is both cool and sweet, who can resist her

Maybe the owner of the villa couldn't stand the arrogance of these two guys. Not only did they move away "his" collection, but they also dared to talk about love in front of "him". Do they think the rules of the villa are dead

A dark shadow crept in from the door.

Gu Jiu glanced at it casually, exclaimed, and said with a smile: "Finally you've decided to come out. I thought you were going to hide in the dark and spy on me all the time."

She stood up slowly, picked up an imperial green jadeite as big as an egg in her hand, and crushed it to pieces with a snap.

The black shadow rushed over angrily, like a cobra, baring its fangs, and hissed at Gu Jiu.

Gu Ji stepped on the black shadow on the ground and at the same time, she opened her five fingers and grabbed towards the black shadow. She pulled hard and actually pulled a piece of the black shadow out.

A muffled groan came from the shadow.

Gu Jiu was surprised and asked, "You still feel pain? I thought it didn't hurt."

The shadows were furious, and more shadows poured in from the doorway, swallowing up the two people in the warehouse.

At the moment when the black shadow swallowed the two people, a paper frog jumped out from the corner.

The paper frog opened its big mouth, which was as big as half the room, and bit the black shadow.

The black shadow screamed in pain, but could not escape the paper frog. In the end, it could only break off its shadow to survive. The remaining black shadow fled and disappeared outside the door.

After the black shadow retreated, Gu Jiu and Lu Ji reappeared in the empty warehouse. The treasures in the warehouse disappeared, as if their existence was just an illusion.

Gu Jiu was holding a key in his hand, which he had just taken out from the shadows.

"What happened just now?" she asked with some confusion.

Lu Ji whispered, "It should be my paper frog attacking it from outside."

As she finished her words, a paper frog jumped out from the corner and danced around them a few times.

Gu Jiu looked at the little thing at his feet, a smile blossomed on his face, his eyes curved into crescents, and he praised Lu Ji: "Yes, Lu Ji, your little thing is very useful and helps a lot."

Previously, she had deliberately provoked the shadow to let it devour her so that she could enter the shadow to look for the key.

Although she could get out of the shadows by her own ability, it wouldn't be so strenuous if she had some external help, which of course made Miss Jiao happy.

Lu Ji pursed his lips and smiled shyly.

The two left the empty warehouse and walked around the villa again. They found that the environment of the villa was almost the same as during the day. They had left another different space in the villa.

The villa was searched by players for several days during the day, and only an empty shell was left. There was no point in searching for it.

Gu Jiu said with some regret: "I also want to see what treasures are in the villa."

Lu Ji: "... How about we take a look tomorrow night?"

Gu Jiu tilted his head towards her and responded with a smile.

The two continued to stroll around the villa at night.

Then, as expected, I encountered a ghost. A pregnant woman with a hole in her belly tiptoed past the corner.

"What are you doing? Why are you walking? Am I scary?" Gu Jiu called the pregnant ghost and hooked his finger at her, "Come here."

The pregnant ghost pulled a long face and approached cautiously, covering her big belly with a hole in it, for fear that the ferocious young lady would find her image too disgusting and claw her.

Gu Jiu didn't care about the pregnant ghost's reaction, and asked kindly: "Where did you come from? Did you see anyone else?"

The pregnant ghost shook her head and said in a sinister tone: "I only saw you, not the others. They should have entered another villa space."

Gu Jiu hummed, which was similar to her guess.

She stared at the pregnant ghost's belly and asked, "What's wrong with your belly? Did the child die before it was born?"

The pregnant ghost nodded stiffly, with sadness in her eyes, "My child and I were pierced by the iron rod, and the child will never be born."

Gu Jiu said angrily: "It's so cruel. Who would do such a cruel thing to a pregnant woman? This is against the law and must be punished by law."

Pregnant ghost: "…" What's the point of speaking so righteously? This is a game world, and there are no police to redress grievances.

After Gu Jiu angrily condemned a scumbag, he asked, "Did the owner of the villa harm you?"

"Yes... No!" The pregnant ghost said quickly, "You misunderstood. It wasn't the villa owner who caused it. It has nothing to do with the villa owner."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. Go and get busy."

The pregnant ghost quickly slipped away along the wall, fearing that if she stayed any longer, she would be skinned by this horrible woman.

She is really good at digging. All the secrets of ghosts will be exposed in front of her.

The two continued to walk around the villa. When they went up to the third floor, they saw a figure hanging on the stairs. The person had very long hair and his face was facing them.

The face had no facial features and looked particularly scary at first glance.

Gu Jiu looked up at the faceless ghost hanging there and said calmly, "Come down by yourself, or I don't mind twisting your head off."

Faceless Ghost: “…” He is indeed a cruel one.

The faceless ghost floated down slowly and landed in front of the two people.

Gu Jiu and Lu Ji looked calm and were not frightened by the faceless ghost. Instead, they asked him to move aside and not block their way, or else they would let him serve as a stepping stone for them.

The faceless ghost watched them go upstairs silently.

Arriving at the third floor, Gu Jiu looked up at the female ghost lurking on the ceiling of the corridor on the third floor and waved at her, "Come down."

The female ghost slowly landed in front of her, as light as if weightless, with her long hair falling softly on her shoulders, revealing a beautiful face.

This female ghost was the one who was scolded away by Qi Yuheng last night.

Gu Jiu looked at her for a moment and said, "Although she is not as pretty as me and Sister Aji, she is not too bad. Mr. Qi seems to have a very high standard, not bad."

Female ghost: “…”

Lu Ji glanced at the female ghost.

"How did you die?" Gu Jiu asked.

The female ghost silently took off her head, and blood spurted out from her neck, spilling onto the ground and disappearing.

Gu Jiu stared at her neck for a while, and suddenly asked, "You were players before, right?"

The ghosts' expressions are stiff, and it is difficult to tell their emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness from their faces. Only their eyes truly reflect their inner thoughts.

At that moment, Gu Jiu could still clearly see the emotions in the female ghost's eyes.

She smiled slightly, and became more friendly to the female ghost, "Okay, nothing else, you continue to be busy."

The female ghost silently watched the two people leaving, then floated back to the ceiling and disappeared into it.

After walking around the villa, Gu Jiu was exhausted.

She was a delicate and frail young lady. Even if she was lucky enough to awaken the Banshee Armor, it would only increase her combat effectiveness instead of improving her physical strength. Therefore, she never fought a protracted battle because it was too exhausting.

She yawned and said, "Aji, let's go back to sleep. Let the other players find the remaining keys."

Lu Ji nodded and had no objection.

The two returned to their room on the second floor, washed up simply, and went to bed to rest.

A good night's sleep.

On the sixth day, when Gu Jiu got up, he looked out the window. The sunlight outside the window was very bright. If it weren't for the gray fog outside the villa, he would think this was a very normal world.

She yawned, lay lazily in bed for a while, and then slowly got up.

After breakfast, Gu Jiu and Lu Ji came to the lobby on the first floor.

The official players and newcomers were all here, looking injured. Compared to the well-rested and glamorous young ladies, they looked extremely miserable.

A group of people looked at the two with dark circles under their eyes.

Ge Guang asked in confusion: "You guys were sleeping all night?"

Gu Jiu yawned, "No, we were busy for a few hours and couldn't stand it anymore, so we went back to sleep."

"What? Weren't you trapped by those ghostly shadows?" Someone asked incredulously, "We were trapped until dawn, and we were free only after those shadows disappeared."

Not to mention going back to the room to sleep, it would be strange if I could sleep.

Even Qi Yuheng, a man with a mysophobia, couldn't help but stare at Gu Jiu with jealous eyes, thinking that this young lady was actually a big shot pretending to be a newbie? Looking at her leisurely appearance, how could she look like a newbie player in the second game

Gu Jiu didn't say anything more. He put out the two keys and pointed at one of them and said, "This is the one we found last night."

Everyone was speechless.

So this young lady did not lie, she really went to look for the key last night, but after finding it, she went back to her room to sleep, unlike them, who were trapped there for the entire night.

Gu Jiu asked: "How many keys did you find?"

Xu Chenfeng handed over a key and said in a tone of seeking praise: "Sister Gu, we found a key."

Ai Ruyi silently puffed out his chest to indicate that they also contributed to this.

"I have one here." Qi Yuheng put a key on the coffee table.

"I have one here too." The middle-aged female player handed over the key.

Five keys were placed on the coffee table.

Everyone stared at all the keys with fear in their eyes, "There's still one missing!"
