Gu Jiu and the others rested for a while, and it was time for Mrs. Helan's dinner.
The players gathered in the restaurant.
Only the castle steward appeared. He glanced at the players who had arrived at the restaurant, ignoring the blood and embarrassment on their bodies, and said, "Take your seats."
After experiencing a dangerous day, the players didn't want to talk and sat down silently.
After they sat down, they found that the table that could accommodate twenty people yesterday only had sixteen people today.
Knowing the rule that one must attend Mrs. Holland's dinner, no player would be absent without reason. There was only one possibility for the four absentees: they died in today's shooting mission.
Four people died on the first day. I have to say, the mortality rate is very high.
The players all looked grim, finally realizing how dangerous this game world was, more dangerous than any C-level game they had entered before.
"No wonder there are 20 players coming in this time." Ruan Yuan said softly, "I heard that the more players there are in each game instance, the more dangerous the game world is."
These words sound like he is talking to himself, but also like he is telling the people around him.
Since they had worked together before in stage performances, the six of them were sitting together at this time and could all hear Ruan Yuan's words. The expressions of the two male players who had previously played the singer and the clown became increasingly worse, and they looked at the basin in front of them as if they were looking at a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast.
The reactions of other players were similar. Knowing it was a death trap, who would be willing to take the initiative to check it out
Gu Jiu opened the lid of the basin and picked up the note inside.
You are an explorer, and you are very curious about the fifth level restricted area of Helan Castle. At 5:00 in the morning, you will embark on a great death adventure.
Gu Jiu: “…” You won’t stop until you kill her, right
After putting the note away calmly, Gu Jiu observed the other players at the table and found that their faces looked very ugly. Some of them even had a hint of fear and despair on their faces.
It looks like the roles they're going to play tomorrow will be equally bad.
Gu Jiu took a deep breath. He had no appetite for the delicious food on the table. He said to Lu Ji, "Ah Ji, I'm tired. Let's go back and rest."
Lu Ji responded and left with her.
The other players were still thinking about the shooting tasks on the note. When they saw them leave, they left too.
After returning to the room, the two began to exchange notes.
The content of Lu Ji's note was: You are an appraiser, and you are here to appraise Mrs. Helan's beloved collection. Please go to Mrs. Helan's collection room at 10:00 tomorrow.
After reading each other's notes, both of them could feel the malice in them.
The roles played by the two happened to be related to two of the three rules mentioned by the castle steward.
Rule one: you are not allowed to enter the fifth floor of the castle during non-shooting hours; Rule three: you cannot destroy Mrs. Helan’s beloved collection.
Although Gu Jiu entered the fifth floor during the filming time, which was not a violation of the rules, just by looking at the words "At 5:00 a.m., you will embark on a great death adventure", you can tell that there is a death trap hidden inside.
As for the appraiser that Lu Ji was going to play, it was even more direct. Who knew how to appraise? If some external force destroyed Mrs. Helan's beloved collection, it would definitely trigger the death mechanism.
Gu Jiu put the note down and thought: "I wonder what roles the four people who died today played? Ah Ji, do you think the roles played by players will be repeated? For example, the adventurer I will play tomorrow, has someone already played it today?"
She knew that she couldn't use the clearance method of D-level games to treat C-level games, especially since C-level players could be promoted to C-level game fields. They all had certain abilities and their own clearance methods, and would not be willing to follow the random orders and arrangements of irrelevant people.
So she didn't think about exchanging information with other players, and she wouldn't refuse if they were willing to exchange with her.
Lu Ji said: "I will ask the little paper man to help check tomorrow. If anyone has entered the studio and the dance hall, it proves that the roles played by the players are repetitive and cyclical."
Gu Jiu smiled at her and said, "Then I'll leave it to Aji."
After saying this, Gu Jiu took out a dagger.
This dagger fell from the sky when she was being controlled to dance on the stage, and almost pierced her head. Later, she used it to destroy the death music and then threw it into her bag.
The fact that it can be put into the player's personal bag proves that the dagger is allowed to be taken away.
"This should be a prop." Gu Jiu looked at the dagger and felt a little cold. She took a few strands of hair and threw them over. The hair broke before it touched the dagger, which showed how sharp it was. "I didn't expect that I could get props in the game world."
This is equivalent to a prop given to players for free in the game world. Although it is not very targeted, its lethality is also good.
Gu Jiu was very satisfied with this. She had never had a weapon and no points to buy one, but now it was delivered to her for free, so of course she was happy.
Well, it seems that today’s stage encounter wasn’t that bad.
Lu Ji asked, "How did you get out of control when you were on stage?"
Gu Jiu used the dagger to cut at the table, and easily cut off a corner of the hard wooden table without even any effort.
Throwing it back into her bag, she said with a smile, "Aji, you should have noticed that those people in the audience are not normal human beings."
Lu Ji nodded. Even though there was no light in the auditorium at the time and those people looked pitch black and their true faces could not be distinguished, one could still guess that the audience's non-human identities were possible.
"They exude a dark red mysterious light."
Gu Jiu's eyes are psychic eyes. Not only can he see ghosts, but he can also identify the identities of ghosts.
In a D-level field, whether the ghosts are invisible or not has little impact on her, because the ghosts are filled with a mysterious red light and can be easily identified.
"The ghosts in the D-level arena have a red light on their bodies, while the light on these audience members is dark red. I haven't figured out the difference between the two yet, but I can be sure that they are not normal humans. They can even control the performers on the stage."
"control?"
"Yes, it was control." Gu Jiu said with a smile, "At that time, I pretended that my foot was injured and sat there to observe the audience. I found that because I didn't perform, the audience was very angry, so they controlled my body to dance and made all my movements fit the identity of an injured dancer."
"After my body was controlled to dance, I observed for a long time and finally figured out the source of the controlling power. It was like an invisible red glowing thread extending from the audience, controlling the performers on the stage like puppets. I had a red thread on my body, and so did Lu Haidi and the others."
While spinning again and again, she secretly used the Banshee Armor to break the invisible red line, letting her body escape from control. When the dagger fell from the sky, she took the opportunity to grab the dagger and used it to cut the red line that controlled Lu Haidi and the others.
So, she didn't actually use any props, she broke it with her own special abilities.
The reason why I didn’t tell Lu Haidi and the others was because they were all strangers and everyone would be on guard.
Lu Ji said: "Ajiu is really amazing, I knew you could do it."
She was indeed very confident in this young lady, and felt that the little control on the stage would not be difficult for her at all. As long as she could think calmly, she would always be able to think of a way to avoid it.
Of the four people on the stage at that time, she was the only one who was the calmest. The other three players had been frightened by the invisible controlling force and were unable to think calmly.
Gu Jiu touched her face with a smile, and seeing the shy look on the girl's face, he felt happy, "Thank you for the compliment."
"It's five in the morning. Do you want to go to the fifth floor?"
"Of course I have to go." Gu Jiu said without hesitation, "The opportunity has been given to us, it would be a waste if we don't go."
The fifth floor of the castle is a restricted area and can only be accessed during filming hours. Generally, such restricted areas often hide unknown secrets, which may be related to the truth of this castle.
Gu Jiu said: "I have another question."
"What's the question?" Lu Ji asked cooperatively.
"About filming." Gu Jiu held his chin up, looking out the window with a distant look in his eyes. "Why is the name of this game instance called 'Death Movie'? The player's task is to successfully play a death movie? And Madam Helan likes to watch movies, and wants us to make a movie that she would appreciate. What kind of movie would she appreciate? Look, what are the tasks we do after entering the game world related to filming?"
Lu Ji said: "It really doesn't feel like we are filming a movie, but more like playing a role-playing game."
How can it be called a movie if there is no director, equipment, or production crew, and only a bunch of actors
Gu Jiu concluded: "So, I wonder if the game is just making up a new name to fool players and let them find the truth themselves, just like the 'Seven Sheep' instance."
If the players had not deduced that the "seven sheep" were actually ghosts of seven people eaten by the ogre, they would have encountered the ogre breaking through the door on the last night and would not know how they died.
Lu Ji looked at her in bewilderment, "That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Even Lu Ji himself, every time he was in the game world, was blinded by the Eye of Rules. Even "she" didn't know the truth of the game world, so he could only search for it or destroy it violently. But if he chose to destroy it violently, the game world would be destroyed, and the contaminated rule fragments could not be recovered, so forget it.
This is also the reason why Lu Ji chose to follow other players into the game world.
"This is just my guess. I don't know if it's right or not." Gu Jiu waved his hand and smiled at her. "Aji, just listen to it. If I'm wrong, you can correct me."
Lu Ji was very confident in her, "I believe you, you won't make a mistake."
Gu Jiu: “…”
Even someone as confident as Gu Jiu was made to laugh and cry by her blind belief, yet he couldn't help feeling happy.
She hugged the girl and rubbed her head, "Sister Aji, how can you be so cute? I really like you!"
Lu Ji's face flushed red, and he suddenly felt like something strange had happened to him.
This person really had a great influence on her...
**
At 4:00 in the morning, Gu Jiu woke up to the alarm on his cell phone.
She had never gotten out of bed at this time before. She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She got out of bed in a daze and almost tripped over the slippers beside the bed.
Lu Ji reached out to support her and took her to the bathroom to wash up. His face turned slightly hot as he listened to the sound of running water.
I feel like something is increasingly wrong with me.
After washing up, Gu Jiu finally woke up and said to Lu Ji, "Aji, let's go."
Lu Ji nodded and released a thousand paper cranes.
"The thousand paper cranes are leading the way for us and will alert us when we encounter danger."
Gu Jiu said happily: "Aji, you are really a must-have treasure for home and travel, so great!"
After praising Lu Ji a lot, the eldest lady happily walked towards the fifth floor of the castle.
The castle is very quiet at night, with dim street lights shining on the ground. Half-person-high paintings can be seen on the walls wherever you go.
Gu Jiu's gaze fell on the figure paintings again. Every time he passed a painting, he met the eyes of the characters in the painting.
Because he was too focused, he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet and almost fell. Fortunately, Lu Ji was quick to help him.
"Be careful." Lu Ji reminded her and simply held her hand.
Gu Jiu responded casually, saying, "Because you are here, Ah Ji, I don't have to be too careful."
"… "
The girl Lu Ji found that she could not resist the sweet words of this young lady all of a sudden. Her heart felt as sweet as if it were soaked in sugar water.
This is so wrong!
"She" has not forgotten that she is now a woman. Could it be that this young lady likes girls
