"Okay," Lin Yining said, "I promise you."
The boy was overjoyed and asked, "Then what can I do for you?"
"Tell me what's going on first." Lin Yining sat down on the dusty sofa in the reception room and said, "This is not an ordinary house, is it? Why does that sculpture move?"
"I don't know." The boy said frustratedly: "My father is a high-level magister. One day he went out to a place with his friends, and then he never came back. I asked my mother, but she didn't tell me. Me. Then my mother disappeared too... I woke up that day to find my own dead body on the bed... that's... that's it."
Lin Yining curled up the tiny vines of the creeper, thoughtfully: "That is to say...you don't know anything?"
"No no." He bit his lip and said, "At least I know about the monsters at home."
He drew a small map on the ground and clicked: "After I die, all the magic items in the house will become monsters. The more powerful things at the beginning, the stronger monsters they become. The most powerful things are all monsters." Here—” The young man pointed to a rather large hall: “Father has his own laboratory, and most of his research results are there, and he will not bring them home. Most of the ones placed here are his own. The most proud works and collections."
Lin Yining pulled out the map provided by the app and took a look. It was roughly the same place as the boy said. There was indeed a rather large room marked with the exhibition hall.
"I don't know what you are looking for. In short, if you want money, this place will be better." The boy hesitated for a moment, and sat on the chair in the living room. Lin Yining glanced at him and asked, "Where do you usually live?"
"Just... go back to sleep with my corpse." The boy said, "The monsters won't come near there, I'm safer."
Lin Yining said: "Then I'll go to the exhibition hall first. Can you wait for me outside, okay?"
The boy was at a loss for a while, but he mustered up his courage and agreed.
They came to the outside of the exhibition hall together, Lin Yining said: "You hide first."
After seeing the young man hid, Lin Yining opened the door alone and walked in.
This exhibition hall occupies one-third of the floor area, which is enough to show how much he is loved by the owner. Lin Yining didn't intend to get entangled here, he came here to find things, not to fight monsters, he just planned to take a quick lap inside and listen to the app for any movement.
There was no light in the dark space, Lin Yining frowned, found a seed from the reflection of the stars, and gave birth to it. This is a luminous morning glory, climbing from his fingertips to his ears, and a small lavender flower blooms. The flowers radiate faint light.
Lin Yining didn't dare to make too much noise, and walked in carefully. The app has been very quiet and there is no movement.
As he turned a hallway, the light came on. Lin Yining saw a stage with well-arranged lights and clear layers. Just staying in the layered light and shadow is enough to fascinate people.
In the center of the stage stands a skeleton wearing a black top hat, with its back to the audience below the stage. He seemed to have no intention of attacking the intruders, the baton waved lightly, and the instruments scattered on the stage suddenly flew up and began to play.
The melodious music reverberated in the empty space, making him feel very lonely. Lin Yining didn't intend to enjoy the music, but used the light to observe the surrounding situation.
This is a semi-enclosed space, with a few chairs scattered in front of the stage, which should be used for people listening to music. There are a few paintings hanging on the wall, even Lin Yining, who has no artistic roots, can get the evaluation that the paintings are quite good. In one of the paintings, the baby in the mother's arms clapped happily to the music.
The baby's eyes met Lin Yining, and he seemed to see malice in it.
Before he could react, the lights in the entire space were turned on.
Lin Yining found that all the decorations in the space came alive.
There are quite a few decorative paintings on the wall, and the people or objects on them are all staring at Lin Yining, making strange smiles. At the opening of the semi-enclosed space, the sculpture hides at the bottom, with a lighter weapon floating above it, and at the top, a gorgeous staff shakes twice as if showing off its might.
The skeleton conductor on the stage raised his hand, and in an instant, the performance on the stage changed from soft and soothing to impassioned - Lin Yining didn't give these monsters any time to think about how to deal with him. The arrow came as high as the music on the stage, and the arrow wrapped in seeds hit the wall. Soon, the wall was covered with dense flowers.
Immediately, the flowers bloomed, the stamens wrapped in the petals stretched slightly, and the vines swayed twice, as if they were not willing to deal with these iron bumps.
when~
The most intense notes sounded, and everything in the room started to move. Lin Yining shot another arrow, and scattered the group of monsters in front of him!
He escaped from this ghost place through the gap!
The monsters who were about to catch up were stopped by the flowers, but the effectiveness of the flowers was limited after all—plus there were skeleton players behind them cheering them on, the monsters rushed faster—
The next exhibition hall that Lin Yining entered seemed to be full of paintings, no matter what the theme of the painting was, now they all changed their movements and stared at Lin Yining.
On the facing wall, there was a word with its feet as high as the other wall. The dragon roared at the brave man and spit out a string of flames. When Lin Yining entered his attack range, the dragon shook its head violently and threw The flames sprayed towards Lin Yining!
There was no way to hide, Lin Yining was burned. He had escaped from the concert hall of the skeleton for some distance, but the music there still lingered in his ears like maggots on tarsus bones.
A large string of blisters appeared on the burned arm and calf, which affected his forward speed, and the fastest flying slender sword pierced Lin Yining's chest fiercely!
He staggered, unable to dodge. The sword pierced Lin Yining's left arm. Before he had time to think about it, he pulled out the sword and threw it out, slightly blocking the attack of a group of monsters, while trying to calm himself down and find a way out.
It will definitely not be a fatal situation, this is just a game, and the system will always leave him with a chance—
The area of the exhibition hall is not that big at all, he will soon find a way out!
Sweat ran into his eyes, but he didn't have time to wipe them, and after another turn, he saw the way out ahead.
It was a clean door.
The ivy flew out, trying to destroy the door lock, but unexpectedly, the door opened with a light push. Lin Yining dodged in, using his uninjured half of his body to hold the door. After a long and desperate wait, the last note of the skeleton musician fell, and the monsters that kept attacking him also stopped.
He wiped his sweat on the spot, supported Bai Yuege to stand up, and prepared to meet a new round of monsters.
But nothing happened.
This clean room is full of portraits, normal portraits.
Lin Yining walked to a portrait and read the words on it.
This should be a portrait of the owner of the manor in the past, and he came to a conclusion after reading it. Lin Yining's gaze finally stayed on the last two portraits, which should be the last manor owner and his wife. Lin Yining fell into deep thought as he looked at the person above who looked somewhat similar to the young man.
App screamed wildly, pulling back his thoughts. He opened the app and saw the above prompt: within 10 meters from the target. Arrow points to the roof.
That is upstairs
Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside, followed by the boy's cautious soft voice: "Are you okay?"
Lin Yining came back to his senses, took out the fifth-level zombie crystal nucleus, and hid the scars on his body.
He walked over and opened the door. First, he saw the worried expression on the boy's face, and secondly, a pair of monster wrecks left on the ground, which looked like ordinary decorations.
The boy kicked away the things blocking the door, and pulled Lin Yining excitedly: "It's great that you're fine."
Lin Yining asked, "Why did you come in? It's not safe here."
"I... I think you haven't come out for a long time..." The boy bit his lip and said, "I'm sorry."
Seeing that Lin Yining's face was not looking good, he quickly supported him and said, "It's not safe here, do you want to go to my room to rest? There won't be any monsters passing by over there."
Lin Yining said, "Okay."
The boy helped him up the stairs to the second floor. Ever since the app found the target, a huge arrow appeared on the ground, indicating to Lin Yining where the target was.
Lin Yining found that the direction the boy led him was the target.
They went upstairs all the way and entered a bedroom. In the bedroom covered with dust and cobwebs, a corpse that had turned into white bones lay quietly on the ground. A dagger is stuck on the rib of the skeleton, and the handle of the dagger is studded with precious stones, which is very gorgeous.
The prompt given by the app ends here, pointing to the skeleton, and there is no further step.
The young man saw him staring at the skeleton, and laughed twice: "This is my corpse, by the way, have you seen that dagger? I have always suspected that monsters dare not approach here because of it. You can take it away , it can also be used to kill monsters later.”
There was a slight smile on the elf's pale face, and he stepped in, grabbing the dagger.
Then let go.
He turned his hand to the corpse's skull and pressed it down hard. The skull is pierced, and the fire of the soul inside is extinguished - this is the way everyone in the game knows to kill players of the blood of the skeleton.
The expression on the boy's face experienced pride, fear, and resentment, and then his whole body twitched and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Yining touched the inside of the skull twice, and found a gem. The system prompt sounds:
He stood up, picked up the dagger, and walked towards the door.
"How did you find out?" Behind Lin Yining, there was a familiar yet unfamiliar voice.
It's the clown.
"Your desire to act is too strong. Next time, read the script carefully and don't add drama to yourself." Lin Yining said: "It's fine to add the identity of the son of the owner of the manor to yourself, but have you forgotten that your setting Here, how old is the wife of the owner of the manor?"
