The landlord was suppressed by the Urban Beauty ghost and the little ghost and has lost his fighting power.
Gu Jiu laughed softly, his eyes floating past the landlord on the ground and looking at the door on the left. Behind the door was a long corridor with a tightly closed door at the end of the corridor.
Everyone's eyes fell on her.
There are also lights in the living room on the first floor. The lights here seem to never go out. Although the light is rendered pale by the environment and makes people feel inexplicably uncomfortable when it shines on them, it is the only lighting.
They could see her delicate and fair face, which had the soft and graceful beauty of a traditional classical woman, which seemed to soften the eerie and gloomy environment and bring a sense of peace and tranquility to people's hearts.
No, it should be said that it was the strength and calmness she displayed that infected them.
The fat man came close to Gu Jiu, rubbed his hands and asked: "Girl, what should we do next?" He couldn't wait to continue to abuse the scum. Although it might not be the players who did the abuse, watching the process of abusing the scum could bring a sense of comfort.
Gu Jiuwei raised her delicate chin and asked instead of answering, "Do you know where the ogre is?"
"In a dream?" a male player answered hesitantly.
During the three days since they entered the game, the monster with a sheep's head and a human body kept appearing in their dreams, making them wonder if it could only appear in dreams.
Gu Jiu smiled and turned to look at Ying Tong.
Ying Tong said hesitantly, "Is it in the locked room at the end of this passage?" She pointed to the passage behind the door on the left wall.
Gu Jiu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The ogre is indeed in the room inside."
The players were all stunned, and then puzzled, "Is it really there? Then why is the door locked? Is it locked specifically to prevent it from coming out to do evil?"
Is it possible
In the limited knowledge of players, the boss in the game copy must be the strongest. Although there are rules that restrict certain behaviors of the boss, it still cannot conceal the boss's combat power. Look at the door at the end of the passage. It has been locked. Even the players cannot use props to split it.
If the boss is locked there, it would look pitiful no matter how you look at it.
Gu Jiu said: "You'll have to ask the landlord."
Everyone subconsciously looked at the landlord. He was already dying and unconscious, hanging on with only one breath left. No one could get any information from him.
And they don't want to deal with landlords who are complicit in the abuses.
Gu Jiu said, "Do you remember the first day when the landlord urged us to choose a room, and there was a sudden sound of something falling to the ground on the first floor?" She paused, waiting for the players to recall, and continued, "After that sound, the landlord's attitude changed. He looked very anxious, and his tone of urging us became very bad..."
With her reminder, most of the players remembered this.
When they saw Gu Jiu deliberately making trouble, they knew that she was trying to get information about the game from the landlord.
Unfortunately, the landlord kept repeating the same few sentences over and over again. They didn't get any useful information out of him. Even if they noticed a change in the landlord's expression, they were just surprised. After all, in the game world, accidents always happen, so there's no need to be too surprised.
Could it be that Gu Jiu guessed something at that time
"Later, I saw the locked room at the end of the first floor corridor, and I speculated that the noises were coming from this room. There might be a living creature locked up in that room, but I don't know why it was locked up."
After hearing this, the player couldn't help but look at her again, not knowing what to say.
How could this young lady's brain work so quickly? No wonder she was the first player to find the game information and come up with the key to the identity of the "Seven Sheep".
Gu Jiu continued, "After I encountered the monster with a goat's head and a human body in my dream, I knew that the creature locked in the room should be this monster, but I didn't expect it to be an ogre."
After all, on the first night, when she used the red vine particles to suppress the monster, she really didn't think of the boss.
But the next day I encountered cannibal ghosts picking up garbage to eat in the kitchen on the third floor. The food the cannibal ghosts eat is an obvious clue, and the fact that these ghosts do not have strong attack power and can only stay in a fixed place easily explains it.
After hearing this, most of the players had blank expressions.
They still felt a little confused and wondered why her brain could work so quickly and connect all the seemingly unrelated things.
Tu Shuai scratched his head embarrassedly, "Sorry, Miss Gu, I don't really understand."
Gu Jiu glanced at him lightly and said in a gentle tone, "It's okay, forget it if you don't understand."
Tu Shuai: “…” I feel despised.
The other players who were also somewhat confused lowered their heads silently, glad that they did not say it out loud, otherwise they would also be despised. Being despised is nothing, but being despised in front of a capable and beautiful girl is quite shameful.
Ying Tong was already fascinated by what he was saying, and urged, "Miss Gu, what else? What else did you find?"
She found that with Gu Jiu's explanation, some of the things that she originally didn't understand were finally sorted out, and the truth hidden in the game world surfaced and became extremely simple.
Gu Jiu smiled, "The ogre must have been locked up there by the landlord. As the owner of the house, the landlord has the right to decide the allocation of each room, just like the seven ghosts who were tied up in a certain place. Without the landlord's permission, they cannot leave the place where they are trapped. They can only be taken away by humans."
After the paper frog swallows the ghosts into its stomach, it can take them away.
"As for why the landlord locked up the ogre, it's because he was afraid."
Fear
Everyone looked at the landlord in disbelief. He was actually afraid? But thinking of the anxiety on his face when he heard the noise coming from the first floor on the first day, he was indeed afraid.
"The ogre is very powerful, but unfortunately the ogre's power in this house is not as great as that of the landlord." Gu Jiu explained to this point and couldn't help but sigh, "The rules in the game world are indeed fair, whether it is for NPCs, ghosts, or players, it is fair."
As long as players find the balance point, they don't need to be afraid of ghosts at all.
Ying Tong was convinced and praised: "You are right, the rules of the game are indeed fair, and they have always been fair."
Unfortunately, the truth of the game world is sometimes hidden too deeply, and players are unable to sort it out, so they fail to find the balance and lose their lives in vain.
The other players also showed admiration on their faces.
After listening to her explanation, it is really easy to understand that this weird and gloomy house is not that scary.
"The landlord locked up the ogre because he was afraid that the ogre would eat him." The fat man concluded, "But the landlord followed the ogre to eat people, and he has become the ogre's accomplice, turning into another ogre, so he needs the ogre to enter the player's dream to help him kill people. The ogre is very powerful in the dream. Once we don't have the red vine grass, we can't escape the dream and will be easily killed by the ogre and become their food."
The thin man continued, "So, there are actually two ogres in this house."
Gu Jiu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes."
Finally, all the keys were figured out. Players were amazed and felt that the truth in this game was hidden very deeply.
If they had chosen the safe way and hid in the room to spend the last night, they would not have been sure whether they could escape the pursuit of the two ogres on the last night.
It turns out that taking the initiative is the safest way to pass the level.
After figuring out everything, the players were in high spirits.
The fat man rolled up his sleeves and waved his fat fists, "Girl, let's go kill the ogre!"
Other players responded.
Ying Tong was not as stupid as them. He asked doubtfully, "How do we kill the ogre? It's a boss. It must be hard to kill, right?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "We can't kill them, but we still have them, right?"
Looking in the direction her finger pointed, everyone saw the female ghost and the little ghost standing quietly by the side, and a look of realization appeared on their faces.
Yes, the seven ghosts in the room are the "sheep" eaten by the two ogres. They were victimized during their lifetime and turned into ghosts after death. They have the power to take revenge, which is also the fairness of the game.
Gu Jiu said: "But according to my guess, in order to kill the ogre, seven ghosts must unite, not just one or six alone."
As for why it doesn’t work, of course it’s because of the hidden conditions of the game.
Just like in the previous game, “Bird in a Cage”, you must collect six keys to open the door of the villa, or turn them into weapons to kill the boss.
Since we are in the game world, we must abide by the rules of the game.
Following Gu Jiu’s explanation, everyone remembered the last ghost in the passage.
As long as you find it, the seven ghosts will be complete.
"Let's find that ghost quickly." The players said excitedly, and immediately ran over and pushed open the door on the left, revealing the passage behind the door.
Gu Jiu walked into the passage surrounded by the crowd.
The passage was very dark, and everyone walked through it cautiously, wondering if it would be like the previous times, when darkness enveloped them and they would see a pair of thin, white skeleton legs appear in the darkness.
Even after they reached the end and saw the locked door, they still didn't see the ghost.
The players looked at each other in confusion.
Why did that ghost suddenly not come out today
Someone speculated: "Could the ghosts in the passage only come out during the day and not at night?"
If so, what should they do? Today is the third night, the deadline for the game mission, and they simply cannot wait until tomorrow daytime.
Gu Jiu turned around and asked the two ghosts following behind him, "Do you know the ghosts in this passage?"
The little ghost shook his head. The female ghost dressed as a city lady said, "I know there is a ghost here, but I don't know about the others. We can't leave the place of bondage and can't confirm the situation of the other ghosts."
The player became even more frustrated when he found out that even this powerful-looking female ghost didn't know.
What to do? If they can’t gather all seven ghosts, they can’t kill the boss. Maybe the boss will kill them instead.
Just when they were getting anxious, they suddenly heard banging sounds coming from the locked room, followed by something hitting the door. When the door panel was hit, the iron lock was rubbed against the force, making a harsh friction sound.
The players were almost scared to death, "It, it's coming out?"
The boss is coming out
Everyone looked at the fragile-looking wooden door in horror. They could see the door bulging outwards when it was hit from the inside, and it could shatter into pieces at any time.
They also did not doubt that the ogre inside had this ability, because today was the third night and the boss's power was at its strongest. There was no need for it to enter the dream again, and it might be able to break out.
The players were shocked and frightened, like headless flies, and they couldn't wait to pull out the ghosts in the passage so that they could fight the boss.
Just as I was getting anxious, Gu Jiu's voice rang out, "Sister Ying, use the axe to hammer the wall."
wall?!
Ying Tong was stunned for just a moment, then his eyes lit up and he took out the big axe without hesitation and hammered the wall with the back of the axe.
The wall was very fragile. When the axe was hammered on it, the mottled putty cracked like spider silk, and pieces of wall fell down, revealing the wall inside.
Seeing this, other players also looked for something handy to help break down the wall.
They ran back to the living room and found a lot of things, including hammers, iron rods, stones, bricks and the like. They smashed the wall with all their strength and broke open the walls on both sides of the passage.
Although the passage was long, the players were numerous and quick-moving, so they soon destroyed most of the wall.
As the players hammered the wall, the impact behind the door became stronger and stronger. The monster inside could break out at any time. A sense of urgency weighed on the players, making them hammer the wall more and more frantically, wishing they could find the hiding ghost immediately.
“Found it!”
Ying Tong's voice sounded, a little fragmented amid the sound of banging the wall, but still loud enough for the players to hear it.
All the players threw away the things in their hands and ran towards Ying Tong.
Ying Tong raised a flashlight and shone it towards the wall. Players could see that there was an extremely narrow crack with a skeleton stuck in it... No, it should be said that it was a ghost that looked as thin as a skeleton.
This ghost was like skin and bones, extremely thin. No one knew if he was thin because of hunger or if his flesh was eaten by the ogre.
The skeleton ghost squeezed stiffly in the gap, staring at the players outside with a pair of ghost eyes.
Ying Tong pulled the ghost out without saying a word, and anxiously scolded: "It's already so late, why are you still hiding? Go find your enemy and take revenge!"
The ghost's body seemed to be fused with the wall inside and could not be pulled out.
Seeing this, the other players also reached out to pull the ghost, saying in unison: "That's right! Since we're all ghosts, of course we should seek revenge when there's a grievance, how can we be cowards?"
The players were talking at once, and finally pulled the skeleton ghost out, without realizing that there was anything wrong with their behavior.
It was not until they had pulled the ghost that they looked at their hands belatedly with expressions of horror on their faces. They actually tried to pull the ghost themselves... Oh my god, will their hands be damaged
Before the players could figure out what was going on, there was a loud bang and the door at the end of the passage shattered into pieces.
The door was actually knocked open by the monster inside.
The players looked at the end in horror. In the endless darkness, they seemed to see a very huge figure walking out from it. It had a sheep's head and a human body. With every step it took, the ground seemed to shake.
Ogres are very fast.
"Aji!" Gu Jiu shouted, and at the same time threw the last red vine grain at the ogre.
The ogre, who was rushing towards here quickly, paused, caught the red vine grains and stuffed them into his mouth.
Seeing this, other players quickly threw the remaining red vine particles over to buy as much time as possible.
Lu Ji threw the paper frog out, and the paper frog vomited out the four ghosts in its stomach.
As the four ghosts appeared, the air became colder and the players shivered from the cold, with a layer of frost on their hair and eyebrows.
Gu Jiu pulled Lu Ji and ran out of the passage, "Hurry up!"
The other players followed behind them tremblingly, using all their strength, fearing that if they were a step late, they would be caught and eaten by the ogre boss.
All the players ran back to the living room, their faces pale with shock and fear.
There were roars and sounds of fighting coming from the passage. One could tell how dangerous the situation was inside without even looking, but no one was curious enough to run over to watch.
Gu Jiu took a breath, then slowly sat down, holding onto the wall.
Lu Ji lowered his eyes to look at her pale face and found that this young lady's physique was too delicate and she really needed to exercise well.
"Hey, where's the landlord?"
Someone shouted, and all the players became alert, fearing that the landlord would show up again.
Soon they discovered a pool of smelly water where the landlord had been, like the water from a rotten corpse.
Gu Jiu covered his mouth and nose and said unhappily: "Some disgusting things are still disgusting even if they are dead."
Everyone: “…” Actually, all dead things are disgusting, right
After knowing that the landlord had turned into a pool of corpse water, the players finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to pay attention to the situation on the other side of the passage.
The noise in the passage had been heard all night, and the players had been waiting with sleepy eyes all night, and no one dared to fall asleep. Fortunately, they did not feel that sleepy tonight, otherwise the players would not have been able to hold on.
The fighting in the passage finally calmed down when the bell rang, signaling dawn.
At this point, the players felt a familiar pull and realized that the game instance had ended and they had successfully cleared it.
Before leaving, Ying Tong smiled and said to Gu Jiu: "Ms. Gu, thank you for this time. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate again next time."
The others also quickly expressed their gratitude to Gu Jiu, secretly hoping that they could meet Gu Jiu again in the next game and win again without any effort.
The feeling of winning without any effort is so good, who doesn’t like it
Gu Jiu waved to them and left the game world.
After all the players left, a paper frog jumped into the dark passage and swallowed a gray fragment...
