While Gu Jiu was thinking, Mr. Helan was still relentlessly pursuing her.
Mr. Helan was just as ferocious as Mrs. Helan, and it could even be said that he was even stronger. He almost hurt Gu Jiu several times. Fortunately, Lu Ji helped, kicking Mr. Helan away from time to time.
The players swallowed their saliva secretly when they saw the slender and powerful long legs wrapped in trousers.
This girl's legs are so long and straight. You can tell at first glance that they are the kind of legs you can play with for a lifetime without getting tired of. I wonder how charming she will be when she becomes a mature woman.
What made them even more envious was that his leg strength was so strong that he could kick Mr. Helan away without even taking a breath.
Poor Mr. Holland was like an obstacle. He was kicked away several times, but he still persevered and rushed forward. Such perseverance is really admirable.
After kicking Mr. Helan away again, Lu Ji pulled Gu Jiu and ran forward.
Gu Jiu's fighting power and explosive power are good, but her endurance is really poor. She is still the delicate and weak Miss Jiao, and has not changed after being promoted to the C-level field. It is estimated that she will have to be promoted to the high-level field and fully awaken her celestial demon bloodline before she can completely transform.
A few little paper figures fell to the end and helped trip up the group of black creatures that were chasing them. At the same time, they took advantage of Mr. Holland's inattention to jump into his hair and hide, doing bad things secretly.
The players didn't notice it and they ran forward with all their might.
The players finally escaped from the fourth floor and ran into the stairwell leading to the fifth floor of the castle.
When they saw the black crowd crammed in the stairwell, they almost couldn't breathe. The way to the fifth floor was too difficult. It gave them the illusion of being stuck in a famous tourist attraction surrounded by crowds of people during a holiday.
No matter how difficult it is, we have to face it head-on. The worst that can happen is that it will become even more difficult.
Players are not afraid of difficulties, but they are afraid of having no way out.
Gu Jiu used a dagger as a weapon and turned all the dark things blocking his way into ghosts under his feet without any hesitation.
In her eyes, who possessed psychic eyes, these "people" walking out of the paintings were not people at all, but just a group of ghosts with dark red spiritual light. They were not of her kind, so there was no need to be soft-hearted. Not to mention that these ghosts wanted to kill them, so she was not so saintly as to spare the ghosts.
Lu Ji followed closely behind, blocking the attacks from both sides.
The two of them cooperated very well and fought their way through the huge crowd.
Wan Xingzhou held the sword horizontally in front of him and swung it forward, helping to expand the path for Gu Jiu to escape.
Ruan Yuan held her fan, and every time she fanned it, a dark figure fell to the side, and no one knew whether it was alive or dead. Lu Haidi protected her, holding a bloody sword in his hand.
The other players also used all their skills, whether it was killing or blocking, they advanced up the stairs like a sharp knife.
Suddenly, Gu Jiu hissed.
Lu Ji turned his head suddenly and found that the clothes on her arms were torn by some sharp weapon, and there were several scratches on them that looked like they were caused by fingernails, and they were oozing with blood.
A black whirlpool suddenly appeared in the dark eyes, and in just a moment, Lu Ji identified the person who scratched Gu Jiu's arm.
She turned her head to look at a figure squeezed in the black crowd. Her sensitive five senses allowed her to easily feel the blood stains on this "person's" fingers.
A paper frog jumped to the ground, nimbly leaped between the crowd, came in front of the black figure, opened its mouth and swallowed it.
The paper frog burped in a very human way, spitting out a wisp of black smoke.
The scene happened silently, and no one noticed that there was one black figure missing from the black crowd.
It was only a one-minute journey, but after nearly an hour, the players finally reached the fifth floor of the castle.
But at this time, the players were in a very bad state and most of them were injured.
Lu Ji stared at the wound on Gu Jiu's arm. He had been working with her for such a long time, but except for the time when she was hit on the waist by a ghost doll in the first world, he had never seen her get injured.
Gu Jiu didn't care much about it. Although she had a bad temper, she didn't care too much about such unavoidable injuries.
The fifth floor of the castle was quiet, and there was no one in the spacious corridor.
Compared with the crowded black crowds before, the players felt relieved when they saw the quietness and spaciousness here. They really didn't want to come to the fifth floor and face another terrible black crowd.
The players looked back and saw that the black crowd was dispersing. They didn't know whether they were afraid of the fifth floor or they couldn't get up. However, they were no longer chasing after them, which made the players feel relieved.
They all had a premonition that these "people" would not be able to follow them to the fifth floor.
The players stood in front of the corridor on the fifth floor and did not take any action.
They observed carefully for a moment, then looked at Gu Jiu at the same time and asked, "Do you want to go over?"
Ruan Yuan looked at this scene and suddenly realized that Gu Jiu had become the leader of the players without realizing it.
Perhaps even the players themselves did not realize that they had subconsciously respected her, trusted her, asked for her opinions, and followed her opinions.
Even she believed it unconsciously and reported anything to her immediately.
Gu Jiu stared at the empty aisle, thought for a while, and took out a thousand paper cranes.
The paper crane rubbed her hand and flew towards the corridor.
The players stared at the paper crane closely. Soon after it flew into the corridor, it seemed to be pinched by something and turned into a pile of shredded paper and fell to the ground.
Everyone: “!!!” What is this
Gu Jiu understood: "There should be a lot of people in the paintings in the corridor, but we can't see them because we haven't entered yet."
The fifth floor of the castle may be separated from other spaces. Players cannot see the true appearance of the fifth floor unless they step into the corridor of the fifth floor. This is also one of the restrictions of the rules.
The butler mentioned that "entering the fifth floor of the castle is not allowed during non-filming hours." They are now in a non-filming period, so not only can they not see the true appearance of the fifth floor, but if they rashly enter, their lives may be in danger.
Ruan Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. "Does that mean that as long as we walk into the corridor, we can see the existence of the Crushing Paper Cranes?"
Gu Jiu nodded, then changed the subject and pointed at the paintings on the walls on both sides of the corridor, "Look at the paintings on the wall."
Everyone looked over, but because of the angle, they could only see a few pictures that were relatively close.
“The few I saw seemed to be blank.”
"Is it really blank? Is it just a trick?"
“When we go in later, will a black man run out of the painting and crush us like a paper crane?”
… …
The reason for this guess is that Gu Jiu said that when she was filming the mission to explore the fifth floor and was about to leave, a black shadow ran out from the blank painting and almost caught her.
This also proves that even blank paintings are not safe. There are two possibilities: one is that the people in the paintings can actually be hidden and deceive the players' eyes; the other is that the spaces of these paintings are interconnected, and the people in the paintings can move around in the paintings at will, and appear in front of the players with the help of the space in the paintings, making it difficult for the players to defend themselves.
Either way, it's not player-friendly.
Knowing the dangers involved, players do not dare to take the risk easily.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Gu Jiu said, "Wan Xingzhou, bring out the kerosene and flammable materials."
Wan Xingzhou sighed, took out the things he had received in the package, and asked curiously: "Miss Gu, are you going to set fire to the fifth floor? Will it work?"
The other players also looked confused.
After all, in the gaming world, one cannot be too particular about normal logic. Some things that can be easily burned may not be burnt no matter how hard you try. This is the most frustrating thing.
Gu Jiu said, "Let's give it a try." She looked at the quiet corridor, "When I was exploring the fifth floor, I found some black ash in the corners of the corridor. It looked like the residue left by a burning fire."
Everyone was immediately surprised, "Do you think someone has set fire here?"
"It should be." Gu Jiu leaned against the wall to rest and relieve the fatigue of the battle. "Even if it's not, it proves that fire can be started here."
Otherwise, how could there be such residue after burning
This is a very obvious reminder to players that fire can be used to burn things.
The game world rarely gives useless information. Having experienced three D-level game worlds, Gu Jiu understood this very well. So when she discovered black and gray residues in the corridor on the fifth floor, she began to ponder its purpose.
Until today, when she discovered that the player's escape route was on the fifth floor, she became more and more certain of her guess.
After listening to her analysis, everyone felt that it made sense, and immediately helped Wan Xingzhou to pour kerosene into the corridor on the fifth floor.
There was a lot of kerosene, and Wan Xingzhou moved almost all the kerosene he found in the castle.
Someone asked in confusion: "Why are you carrying so much kerosene?"
"Miss Gu asked me to collect it." Wan Xingzhou said confidently, "Anyway, there is enough space in my bag, so I brought all the kerosene in the castle."
This guy is so stupid that I don’t know what to say.
"Don't you think this castle is weird? It's not a normal world, but there's so much kerosene piled up in the warehouse. It's clearly telling the players to use it as much as they want." Wan Xingzhou thought it made more sense the more he spoke. "Do you think this is a hint in the game world?"
Everyone was speechless.
Who the hell would know this was a hint
After pouring the kerosene, the players lit the flammable materials in their hands and threw them towards the corridor.
The kerosene was ignited instantly and burned fiercely in the corridor. The fire spread forward at a ferocious speed, and soon the entire corridor was engulfed in flames.
The flames licked the paintings on the wall.
The tranquility in the corridor was finally broken when the painting was burned.
I saw black figures running out of the painting, howling in pain from the fire, and running to the other side of the corridor.
The corridor was soon filled with black people.
These people were screaming and running in the sea of fire, making the players gasp.
If they stepped into the corridor on the fifth floor without any precautions, they would definitely be killed by the people in the paintings. They couldn't help but be glad that they chose to cooperate with Gu Jiu.
Ruan Yuan looked at it for a while and asked curiously, "Miss, what do you think the person in the painting is? Is he a human or a ghost?"
"It's definitely not a human." Gu Jiu said, "Maybe it's a ghost, maybe it's some other creature, I don't know."
Players also feel that the people in these paintings are definitely not normal humans. This is a game world, and all kinds of existence are normal.
"They are the audience watching the movie?" Wan Xingzhou murmured, "So we are making death movies for these dark people to watch?"
"That's about right."
"… "
The players couldn't help but fall silent.
The so-called filming missions they participated in every day all contained death traps. They used their own lives to entertain certain beings in the game world, which made them unhappy no matter how they thought about it. They felt powerless and fooled.
Gu Jiu's voice sounded, "It's almost burnt out, keep pouring kerosene."
When everyone looked over, they found that the place where the kerosene was poured was almost completely burned. However, because the corridor of the castle was too long, they did not dare to go in, so they only poured the kerosene in the front part.
The players walked over with kerosene and continued to pour kerosene on the unburned areas, quickly igniting them.
Fortunately, they set the fire on fire quickly enough, and the black figures hiding in the paintings that were not burned suddenly attacked them, making it impossible to defend against them.
The fire spread all the way until it burned the entire corridor, which took most of the day.
By the time the corridor was burned, it was already dark outside.
The corridor was covered with black ash from the fire. Gu Jiu walked in the black ash, and the soles of his shoes were soon covered with a thick layer of black ash.
She didn't care and led everyone to the movie room on the fifth floor.
