Not long after the players sat down, the landlord appeared again like a ghost.
Seeing all the players sitting in the living room, his face looked obviously bad and he was furious, as if he wanted to kill them himself.
Gu Jiu's temper flared up again, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll kill you!"
Everyone clapped silently in their hearts, the young lady is really great, they just like to see her bullying the NPCs in the game until they can't say a word.
The landlord was still a little scared of her. He snorted coldly, went into the kitchen and brought out breakfast, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Today is the last day. Time is short. You should eat well so that you don't miss the chance to eat later."
Gu Jiu picked up the chopsticks on the table and tapped the table, saying with a smile: "Don't worry, we will have many opportunities, but you may not."
The landlord's face stiffened and he left angrily again.
Ying Tong looked at the landlord's back as he left, frowned slightly, and said, "Although the landlord's words were unpleasant, they are also a reminder to us. If tonight..."
Today is the last day and also the most dangerous day. Whether players can pass the level smoothly depends on the situation at night.
The other players were also a little worried, with an unknown fear about the arrival of tonight, wishing it would never come.
After breakfast, the players sat there, not knowing what to do for a while.
Search the house? They have searched every corner of the house several times in the past two days, and have searched every place that can be searched.
Go find ghosts? We have found all the ghosts that can be found, and what does it matter if we find ghosts
When I thought about it this way, I realized that there seemed to be nothing to do today and I could only sit and wait for the evening to come.
But just sitting there and waiting to die is never something a player can accept. Even the most timid person will work hard to survive and not miss any opportunity.
Ying Tong looked at Gu Jiu and asked, "Ms. Gu, did you catch the ghost in the room last night?"
Although she was not outside last night, she had been paying attention to the movements of Gu Jiu and the others. However, soon after returning to her room, she felt sleepy and it was hard to stay awake. In order to fight the sleepiness, she had no intention of paying attention to the movements outside the door, so she didn't know how Gu Jiu and the others ended up.
Seeing them on the table today, I realized they should be fine.
"I caught it." Gu Jiu said with a smile, "It's a little ghost, quite energetic."
Everyone looked at her. It was the first time they heard someone use the word "spirit" to describe the little ghost. This young lady's words were really interesting.
Ying Tong said "oh" and continued to sit there thinking, trying to find the most important key to this game. As long as he could find it, he would be able to make it to the end tonight and pass it successfully.
Just as all the players were thinking about it, Gu Jiu's voice rang out, "I know what the seven sheep mean."
Um?!!!
These words startled all the players, and they looked at her with burning eyes. The sluggish spirits from not getting a good rest for two nights disappeared, and their faces showed surprise and desire.
The fat man rubbed his hands and said, "Sister, what does the seven sheep mean? Do they mean the seven ghosts in this house?"
"Yes." Gu Jiu nodded, "There are indeed seven ghosts in this room, and the seven sheep also refer to them."
All the players' eyes widened and they couldn't help but exclaimed, with puzzled looks on their faces. Although they had guessed yesterday that the "seven" in "seven sheep" corresponded to the seven ghosts in the house, what about the "sheep"
Ying Tong frowned and said, "There seem to be only six ghosts we know about so far, right?"
Including the little ghost that Gu Jiu caught in the empty room last night, Lu Ji's paper frog only swallowed five ghosts. There was also a ghost with only a pair of skeleton legs exposed in the passage on the first floor, which makes a total of six ghosts. Where is the other one
The fat man raised his hand happily: "I know, the seventh ghost is in the stairwell, but it only comes out at night."
Then he told them what happened last night when they were waiting in the hallway for the ghost in the room to appear. The footsteps coming from the stairwell proved that there was indeed a ghost in the stairwell. However, the ghost appeared at night. Because of the landlord's words, they would not go out easily at night, so they did not run into the ghost and did not know about its existence.
There is no distinction between day and night in this game world. Even during the day, the whole world is dark.
This kind of environment will also invisibly mislead players, making them accustomed to encountering ghosts in the dark daytime, and they will ignore the fact that many ghosts actually prefer to appear at night.
Everyone's face showed a look of realization.
Now I know where the seven ghosts are.
"I see." Ying Tong quickly connected all the ghosts and couldn't help but say, "The ghosts in this house all have their own territory. They are trapped in a certain place and can't leave. It's easy to find them, but you have to find the right time, otherwise you will never be able to figure out where they are, and you will not be able to find the seven ghosts."
If they had not gone out at night, they would never have known that there was a ghost in the stairwell, and that this ghost only appeared at night. If they could not find the seven ghosts, it would be unimaginable what would have happened on the third night.
Ying Tong's scalp tingled slightly, and he turned to ask Gu Jiu, "Miss Gu, why do you call the seven ghosts seven sheep?"
The name of a game copy has always been related to its content. This time the name is "Seven Sheep". They had thought a lot about it before, but never thought that the seven sheep referred to the seven ghosts in this house.
Because comparing ghosts to sheep has no logical connection at all, it's no wonder they couldn't think of it.
Gu Jiu propped his chin with his hand and said lazily, "Maybe it's because these seven ghosts were originally food for the monster with a sheep's head and a human body. Wasn't there a saying in the past that people were compared to two-legged sheep?"
These words, spoken lightly, sent a chill down the spines of the players present.
Tu Shuai trembled and said, "So that monster eats people?"
The man in the suit and the otaku huddled together with fear on their faces. Wen Xiuxiu's face turned pale. Only the muscular man with tattoos, Brother Qiang, managed to remain calm.
Seeing the performance of the newcomers, the official players couldn't help but feel pity for a second, and then said: "So, the monster with a sheep's head and a human body is the boss of this dungeon, an ogre? No wonder it gets stronger day by day."
It is much easier to know who the boss of the game copy is.
"But why is the boss a human with a sheep's head? This image is a bit too ugly." The fat man wondered, "It enters our dreams every night. In fact, it wants to eat us in our dreams, right?"
He asked this question to Gu Jiu. After discovering that Gu Jiu had a sharp mind, the fat man liked to ask her for help.
Not only him, but other players as well, all looked at Gu Jiu with eyes full of curiosity.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Indeed! As for why its image is so ugly, I think it may be because it once ate a human as a two-legged sheep, so this is its punishment, turning it into a monster with a sheep's head and a human body."
People who are eaten by monsters become ghosts.
The reason for this guess is that the cannibal she met who was picking up garbage to eat in the kitchen, as well as the landlord's usual behavior, have already given players clues.
Ying Tong suddenly had an idea and his face darkened. He guessed, "Could it be that this monster with a goat's head and a human body was actually a human? He ate humans and became an ogre. He was punished in some way and became like this?"
Otherwise, why would a sheep's head be put on a human body? Wouldn't it be better to just become a sheep
This speculation made many players' scalps tingle.
"Sister Ying, don't lie to me!" a timid male player said with a sad face, "How can anyone be so cruel as to eat people?"
The fat man answered sharply again: "Don't use the logic of the real world to look at the game world. If the monster didn't eat people, would it still appear in the game world?"
Player: “…” Nothing to say.
Ying Tong still had some questions and asked, "Miss Gu, if these seven ghosts were transformed from people eaten by the ogre, then what is the meaning of their existence?"
Gu Jiu smiled. Her smile always gave people a gentle feeling.
"Sister Ying, you already have the answer in your heart, why ask me?"
Ying Tong blushed. Didn’t he want to confirm with her
In previous games, she had always fought hard on her own. Although she would face the boss, she would usually persevere to the end and successfully clear the level. She rarely faced the boss directly. She knew that with the strength of a D-level player, she could not kill the boss directly at present, so it was best to avoid facing the boss.
This time it was still because of Gu Jiu. Under her deliberate guidance, they moved towards the truth step by step, which made her always have a premonition that they were about to face the boss and embarked on the rhythm of fighting the boss.
As it turned out, her hunch was correct.
Gu Jiu said: "Everyone please work harder tonight. Let's kill the ogre and then we can leave."
Everyone: “!!!!!!!!!”
Even the fat man who had great confidence in Gu Jiu was so frightened that his scalp exploded, and he stammered, "Sister, sister, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding." Gu Jiu said calmly, "Today is the last day. Before we leave the game, we will face the boss sooner or later. Instead of waiting for it to suppress us, why don't we take the initiative and kill it first!"
The players were thinking in a daze that they had heard it right and Gu Jiu really had this idea.
One player said with a bitter face: "Ms. Gu, you think too highly of us..."
They were all beginner players, with no strength and no props. How could they kill the boss? Could it be that they were just relying on their numbers
Although all the players are lucky enough to be alive so far, it does not mean that they can kill the boss with just a few people.
Ying Tong said matter-of-factly: "Ms. Gu, we don't need to fight the boss. As long as we can survive tonight, we will be able to pass the level smoothly."
Knowing who the boss in the game is, it is very easy to survive until the end of the game, but the points you get may not be very high.
Gu Jiu looked at the people present, knew what they were thinking, and was not in a hurry to ask them to go with her to fight the boss.
After the players dispersed to find things to do, Gu Jiu stretched and hooked Lu Ji's hand.
"Aji, let's take a walk to loosen up our muscles."
Lu Ji looked at her intimately held hands, feeling a little uncomfortable, with a light blush on his face. In Wujie City, she had seen many girls like to hold hands like this, as if it was a very normal thing, and no one would look askance.
Lu Ji said: "Don't you want to take a break?"
Given her personality, since she has to be busy tonight, she will definitely rest during the day.
Gu Jiu shook his head, "I'm not sure if I'll be pulled into a dream if I sleep during the day, so it's better not to sleep."
Other players also have this concern, so even if they are extremely sleepy, they dare not go to sleep. They can only find things to do to keep themselves busy so that they won’t feel sleepy.
The two were strolling around casually when the fat brother came over.
"Girl, do you really want to face the boss tonight?" The fat man was still a little worried and wanted to persuade her to think twice.
Gu Jiu hummed, and seeing the worry on the brothers' faces, he explained: "In fact, even if I choose to avoid it, I guess the monster will take the initiative to come out and kill me."
"Why?" The two brothers looked at her in surprise, both a little puzzled.
Gu Jiu touched his nose and didn't explain.
Only Lu Ji understood that this young lady had attracted the boss's hatred in the dream, and the boss would not let her go and would definitely attack her. So instead of waiting for the boss to kill him, it would be better to take the initiative and kill the boss first.
It's that simple!
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the two brothers became more worried. They thought to themselves that they should be careful tonight, and if things don't work out, they should quickly pull her away and run away.
With Gu Jiu's delicate physique that made her pant after every few steps, she would definitely not be able to outrun the boss if he caught up with her, so they could only take her with them.
There was no way, the brothers' impression of Gu Jiu was still in the "Cursed Village" copy, and the image of Miss Jiao was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The third day was originally the most tense day for the players. According to past experience, they wanted to turn the whole house upside down. But because Gu Jiu revealed the secret in advance, the players didn't have to look for information again, so they all seemed to have nothing to do.
A day without anything to do is very difficult.
It wasn't until the landlord appeared again like a ghost, reminding them that it was dinner time, that the players finally realized that night was approaching.
The landlord was obviously in a good mood. There was a smile on his skull-like face. That smile was full of malice. "Today is your last night here. I hope you have a good time."
He said "happy" with his mouth, but the look in his eyes when he looked at the "food" became more and more direct and naked, and saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth.
The players already knew that the monster with a sheep's head and a human body was an ogre, and they, the players, were its food. The landlord was the monster's lackey, so it was clear that he was also an ogre.
They were not happy with the landlord and couldn't help but look at Gu Jiu, waiting for Gu Jiu to scold the landlord.
Unexpectedly, Gu Jiu was very easy to talk to this time. He did not get angry at the landlord, but smiled and said, "You are right. We will have a very happy time tonight. As for whether you will have a happy time or not, we don't know."
The smile on the landlord's face suddenly fell.
He said sinisterly, "I hope you can still be so tough tonight."
"You said this on the first night." Gu Jiu reminded him, sneer, "Isn't it that your head is filled with grass and you even forgot what you said? That's right, a low-class man like you, with an unhappy life, can only bully the weak and be a lackey for something. When facing a stronger person, you can only kneel down and beg for mercy..."
The landlord was so angry that he almost threw the food bowl in his hand.
The players watched silently, thinking that the eldest lady still had such a bad temper.
After driving the landlord away again, Gu Jiu asked Lu Ji to take out bread and water for these people, and said to them: "Eat well so that you will have the strength to work tonight."
Everyone: “!!!!” Is she really going to fight the boss
