The two walked up the castle's spiral staircase to the fifth floor.
Thousands of paper cranes were flying ahead, appearing and disappearing from time to time, and occasionally a corner of white paper could be seen flashing.
Five o'clock in the morning was approaching. The two stood at the staircase of the fifth floor. Gu Jiu turned to the girl beside him and said, "Aji, wait for me here. Don't go over there."
Now is her shooting time, she can enter the fifth floor, but Lu Ji cannot.
"Be good and listen to me." Gu Jiu touched her face, his voice gentle.
The tip of Lu Ji's ears turned a light red again. He put the little paper man on the shoulder of the person opposite him and said, "Then you better be careful."
Glancing at the little paper man on his shoulder, Gu Jiu did not refuse. He waved to Lu Ji, followed the thousand paper cranes flying in front of him, walked out of the stairwell, and stepped onto the corridor on the fifth floor.
The structure of the fifth floor of the castle was no different from that of the other floors. It was a spacious corridor with half-person-high paintings hanging on the walls on both sides. However, these paintings were blank, with only picture frames and white canvases hanging there.
There was a look of surprise in Gu Jiu's eyes. He looked at the pictures one by one and found that every one was blank.
All the paintings in the corridor on the fifth floor are blank
She didn't think the owner of the castle would hang some blank paintings, so where did the content of the paintings go? Could it have grown legs and run away on its own
The street lights shone from overhead, casting a shadow on the ground.
Gu Jiu stood there frowning and thinking for a while, then he was too lazy to think about it anymore and continued walking forward.
As she walked, she found that the ground and walls around her were a little different. Looking closely, she saw traces of being burned by flames.
Gu Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the corner of the wall. Suddenly he squatted down and reached out to pinch the corner.
A strong sense of crisis came from behind her, making the hairs on her neck stand up. Gu Jiu took out the dagger without thinking and swung it behind her. A clanging sound was heard, and the dagger blocked something.
She took a few steps forward, turned around quickly, leaned her back against the cold wall, and looked behind her vigilantly.
The expected enemy did not appear, and the corridor remained empty, with no one else except herself.
Gu Jiu's eyes wandered around the corridor, looking for the enemy.
About ten minutes later, there was still no movement, and the sense of crisis no longer appeared. Gu Jiu lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his fingers. There was a little black substance on them, like the black and gray substance left after being burned.
After flicking off the black ash on his hands, Gu Jiu moved forward again, this time without putting away the dagger.
Everything was quiet until she came to a door.
This was the first door she encountered after arriving on the fifth floor.
Gu Jiu looked at the closed door, and when she tentatively reached out to push the door, a suffocating crisis came over her again.
This time, Gu Jiu did not fight back in time. She chose to duck and dodge. With the corner of her eye, she finally saw clearly that the person who attacked her was actually a dark man.
This person looked like he was soaked in ink, his entire body was black, and even his facial features could not be seen. However, his movements were very agile, as he held a black noose and put it around her neck.
Gu Jiu knew that his stamina was poor and he had no intention of engaging in a protracted battle with the dark-faced man, so he rushed forward and cut the opponent's noose with his dagger. At the same time, the nails of his other hand suddenly grew longer and grabbed the dark-faced man, attacking him with two prongs.
The Banshee's Armor pinched into the dark man, and Gu Jiu felt as if he had grabbed a ball of cold air.
In a moment of distraction, the dark figure took the opportunity to break free from her grasp, and rushed towards a painting at the fastest speed, disappearing into the painting.
Gu Jiu blinked, walked to the painting, and found that a person appeared on the originally blank canvas.
This is a woman wearing a slim-fitting knight's uniform with long brown hair. The woman has a smile on her face and a pair of eyes are looking into hers.
Thinking back to the dark outline of the person just now, she seemed to understand a little bit and couldn't help but smile at the woman in the painting.
Gu Jiu looked at the woman in the painting from head to toe, even leaving out her hair, with an interested look on her face. Then she raised the dagger, pointed the sharp tip of the dagger at the woman's face, and moved towards her.
The dagger was already against the face of the woman in the painting, slashing fiercely.
This stroke did not damage the canvas, but a scar appeared on the woman's face, which was shocking to the eye.
The woman in front of her was still looking at her with a smile, her expression didn't change at all.
Gu Jiu looked at it for a while, but without further studying who the people in the paintings were, he turned around and pushed the door.
The door was pushed open easily.
Behind the door is the movie theater. It is very lively at this moment. Not only is it full of people, but a movie is also playing on the screen in front.
Gu Jiu stood at the door, staring at the movie playing in front of him. The character in the movie was exactly the player this time, and this player did not appear in the restaurant yesterday evening.
The player in the movie was running in the castle, his face pale and there was fear in his eyes.
Then his running legs were swallowed by an invisible force. The player screamed in fear, but was unable to stop it. He could only watch in despair and fear as his body was swallowed by the unknown force. He shouted unwillingly, and finally the whole person disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground to prove that this player had ever existed.
As this player disappeared, the scene in the movie changed and another player appeared.
This time, the player appeared in a doll room, which contained many human-sized dolls. The player's task was to clean up the dolls. When he saw the dolls, his expression was very stiff, and there was a bit of fear in his stiffness. He cleaned the dolls carefully.
Suddenly, a doll stretched out its hand and pushed the player into the group of dolls.
The player's body was torn into pieces by a group of dolls, and the pieces of flesh and blood were eaten by the dolls lying on the ground, leaving not even a trace.
The dolls that ate the player's body returned to their original positions, quiet and silent, like a group of lifeless dolls.
This bloody scene made the audience in the cinema very excited. They waved their hands and cheered and shouted enthusiastically.
Gu Jiu's gaze fell on these spectators, and not surprisingly found that it was another group of black figures, emitting a dark red mysterious light.
Suddenly, her hair was pulled, and Gu Jiu saw the little paper man on her shoulder, which was reminding her to leave quickly.
The movie is about to end, and those viewers who focus on the movie will definitely discover her.
Gu Jiu looked at the movie screen again. The faces of several players at the time of their death appeared on the screen. They were the four players who did not appear at dinner yesterday. It was obvious that they were indeed dead and had filmed a death movie with their lives.
Gu Jiu turned and left.
As she walked, she ran forward quickly because she heard noise coming from behind her. The audience coming out of the cinema had discovered her.
Gu Jiu speeded up.
The sense of crisis came from behind her again, and she had no time to look back.
She ran all the way and finally reached the stairs. A dark figure suddenly jumped out of the picture frame and was about to pounce on her. A thousand paper cranes flew out to stop the figure.
The paper cranes were caught by a black hand.
Gu Jiu ran into the stairwell, gasping for breath. He looked back and found that the black figure in front of the stairs had disappeared, leaving only a pool of torn paper on the ground.
"Ajiu, are you okay?"
Lu Ji supported her, and seeing that she was breathing heavily, he gently stroked her back.
Gu Jiu leaned on her, sweat covering her forehead. Due to the intense exercise, her whole body was covered with sweat, and soon she looked like she had just been fished out of the water.
"Drink some water." Lu Ji took out a bottle of water and fed her.
Gu Jiu drank several sips of water until his violently beating heart returned to normal, and said apologetically: "Aji, your paper crane is ruined."
Lu Ji also saw the scraps of paper that appeared at the stairs and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'll just fold another one when I get back."
Gu Jiu couldn't help but laugh. She leaned her head against the girl's shoulder and said softly, "Fortunately, I have Ah Ji's paper cranes. Otherwise, I would have to fight again before I could come back. Fighting is very tiring..."
Lu Ji's mouth twitched, "Then I'll fold a few more and give you some."
"Okay, thank you, Aji." Gu Jiu said happily, "I'll give you some of the good things I have in the future. We should give and take."
Lu Ji nodded softly, he really liked the phrase "give and take".
It proves that they have a good relationship and can give each other gifts.
Gu Jiu was sweating and felt sticky all over. He felt very uncomfortable and went back to his room to take a shower.
When she came out of the shower, it was already bright.
The weather today is still gloomy, with even a drizzle, and the whole castle is bathed in gloom and rain.
Seeing that her hair was wet and dripping with water, Lu Ji took a towel to wipe her hair and asked her what she encountered on the fifth floor.
Gu Jiu told her about his experience on the fifth floor, "It turns out that the fifth floor of the castle is a movie theater. No wonder players can't go up easily."
She finally understood why the name of this game was "Death Movie". So this is what it meant.
The players are literally filming a movie, and whenever they die during the filming process, it counts as completing the filming of the movie.
Lu Ji asked: "Are those viewers the people in the painting?"
"They are not human, but a kind of ghosts, and they can even come out of the painting." Gu Jiu sighed, "Aji, this game mission is really difficult. Not only do we have to avoid the death mechanism triggered when filming the movie, but we also have to work hard to complete the filming mission."
Lu Ji said: "Then let's work together."
Gu Jiu tilted his head to look at her, stretched out his hand to touch the girl's hair, and said with a smile: "Aji, you are really good at comforting people."
Lu Ji looked at her blankly. Did he say anything to comfort her
But looking at the smile on her face, her heart felt warm and she always felt that her emotions were not right.
When they went out after breakfast, they met the couple Lu Haidi and Ruan Yuan who were walking together.
I don't know what Lu Haidi said, but from a distance I saw Ruan Yuan suddenly stand on tiptoe and kiss him on the face. Lu Haidi had a silly smile on his face and looked like a muscular big fool.
Lu Ji stared at the couple and suddenly remembered that human men and women can fall in love and even kiss each other when they are in love
Gu Jiu greeted them with a smile and asked, "When is your shooting time today?"
Ruan Yuan said: "We are all in the afternoon, how about you?"
"I've finished filming. It will be Aji's turn to film later."
Finished filming
Ruan Yuan and Lu Haidi were both very surprised. It was only eight o'clock in the morning. Didn't that mean she had a shooting mission in the early morning? What was her shooting mission
"Well, would you mind telling us about your shoot today?" Ruan Yuan asked tentatively, "In exchange, I can also tell you about our shoot this afternoon."
Gu Jiu smiled softly and elegantly, "Of course."
She told the two about what happened on the fifth floor, and was not surprised to see looks of horror on their faces.
Perhaps they were just like her, always thinking that the so-called "movie shooting" might be a trick used by the game world to deceive players. Unexpectedly, it was actually a real movie shooting. However, this movie shooting was different from the regular operation. The movie shooting was completed only after the player died.
Ruan Yuan's face suddenly turned pale, and he said weakly: "The task of this game is to let the player successfully play a death movie..."
What does it take to successfully play out a death movie
Of course, the role play is considered complete only if the player dies during the filming process and successfully reaches the movie theater on the fifth floor of the castle.
But in this case, where is the player's chance of survival
The author has something to say: Today's first update
The role of this couple is probably to make Lu Ji realize that he wants to date the eldest lady╮(￣▽￣)╭
