As soon as the scream came out, the pitch-black scene immediately became chaotic.
Miscellaneous voices sounded, and it seemed that someone from the direction where the screams came from had already handed over. The rest of the players took out their flashlights one after another, and the light beams lit up from all directions, barely brighter than when they could only see the digital light board under their feet.
In the dim light, at a glance, it was full of figures, but it was impossible to immediately tell where the puppet was.
Yan Wei also took out the bright flashlight he used earlier, but he just scanned it around, pulled Yan Mingguang's arm, and said, "Run!"
Lin Zhen was stunned: "What? Run? Now? We don't—"
"Run first!"
Yan Wei didn't say another word, and walked to the second floor. Yan Mingguang followed without any hesitation. This person was faster than him, and within a few steps, he turned into Yan Mingguang and dragged him to the second floor. Although Lin Zhen was puzzled, he followed up with Yu Feizhou.
There are stairs spreading all over the hall. At this moment, apart from Yan Wei and others, some other players left quickly out of various considerations, and some players stayed there, as if they wanted to see the puppet Where is it.
It wasn't until the winding stairs came to the darker second floor, and the noise downstairs became farther and farther away, that Yan Wei took a breath and stopped.
There seemed to be no living things around. Under the beam of the flashlight, one could vaguely see corridors on the second floor. Doors were regularly distributed on both sides of the corridors. It seemed that this was where the players in the black-robed population lived.
He glanced roughly, and although he didn't see anything, he immediately took out the moon wheel to separate the four of them from the surroundings. They are really full of unknowns about this place now, he is not dead today, but other people may be in danger at any time, it is safer to separate them first.
When a barrier was completely separated, Yan Wei's face turned pale, his feet went limp, and the unhealed knife wound on his arm became more and more painful because of the momentary consumption.
Yan Mingguang immediately held his arm, and while supporting him, he bandaged his bleeding wound again.
Yu Feizhou glanced at Yan Wei's wound, and then at Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen pouted at him.
Yu Feizhou smiled silently, took out an ordinary dagger from the storage bar of the information panel, held his blue bead prop that can be used with skills in his palm, and slashed his arm silently.
As soon as Yan Mingguang put on a new gauze wrap, Yan Wei felt the pain in his arm suddenly disappear.
The wound is gone.
He smelled the smell of blood in the air, was taken aback, and turned to look at Yu Feizhou.
Yu Feizhou didn't speak, Lin Zhen said: "This time you came in, you broke the maze, and now you use the moon wheel, he feels sorry, and wants to pay you back. You let him pay it back, or he, a soft bun, will be entangled to death."
Yu Feizhou: "..."
Yan Wei smiled silently.
He knew in his heart that there were dangers around him at this moment, so he stopped mentioning such trivial matters.
"The reason why I ran first was because I didn't think this matter was so simple." Yan Wei looked ahead and made a gesture of moving forward with everyone, maintaining the rotation of the moon wheel, and said as he walked, " Judging from the words of the man in black robe, it is nothing more than identifying those puppets as good puppets, grabbing them and giving them to the man in black robe to exchange for gold coins, and then using the gold coins to buy a puppet that can open the door from him, open the gate of the castle and leave."
"But there are a lot of doubts in it."
"He implied that we can leave by opening the door, but he also said that if we open the door, we may not see anything. What does it mean? If you can't see the stairs after opening the door, what will it be? Is this a word game, or is it a mystery? ?”
"Secondly, there is the issue of good puppets and evil puppets, which is also the reason why I asked everyone to run first. Someone died just now, so there is a great possibility that it was an evil puppet, and the person who died will quickly transform into a puppet on the spot , there are both good and evil puppets. We now know that there are two types of puppets, and we don’t know anything about them. If we stay on the scene and fight head-to-head with so many seeded players to grab clues, the probability of success is not only low, but also easily plotted by evil puppets , is dangerous for us, why not come up now and find a safer room."
As Yan Wei said, they had turned into a small corridor with rooms on both sides.
There are rooms from inside to outside, some close to the edge of the main body of the castle, and some more inside. Yan Mingguang just opened a few doors and observed it. There is no difference in the internal structure of these rooms, and they are all single rooms with only single beds.
Not far away, there were also some cautious footsteps, which should be players who also temporarily chose a conservative strategy to go upstairs.
Yu Feizhou: "So what should we do now?"
Yan Wei glanced at the room at the edge, stopped, and looked at the digital light boards under their feet that displayed "0". The beam of the flashlight was shaking slightly, showing that the person holding him was thinking.
"The players fighting below must be a few players with outstanding organization. They are absolutely confident in their strength, so they dare to start the game and grab the clues of the puppet that suddenly appeared. Even at the beginning, other players want to get a piece of the action. More people will react, and more and more people will go upstairs immediately."
Lin Zhen folded his arms around his chest: "So?"
"Of course, we should find a better room to live in first, and then just protect ourselves, and don't do anything."
Yan Mingguang turned his head and glanced at him, then said calmly, "You want to be passive?"
"When I feel like I don't know anything, just let the clues come to us."
As long as they are still in the dungeon, as long as the things in the dungeon are always opposed to the player, those things cannot stand there waiting for the player to find them. Just like the scream just now, the puppet did it before the player did it.
Yan Wei pointed to the room in front of him, and said: "Trust me, just don't worry about anything, just stay the same and respond to all changes—at least on the first day. We live inside, and the outside room is on the edge of the main body of the castle. Always feel uncomfortable."
Lin Zhen yawned: "Alright then, good night."
As he spoke, he stretched himself, walked into the room with the shiny "0" under his feet, and closed the door.
They are also people who have gone through several dungeons. Although many rules are not clearly stated, the single bed in the room has already explained the problem. A room is best for only one person.
After Yu Feizhou warned him to be careful, he also entered the room next to Lin Zhen. Yan Wei chose the room opposite Lin Zhen. After watching Yan Wei go in and lie down, Yan Mingguang slowly walked into the room next to Yan Wei.
In this way, the four rooms face each other two by two on both sides of the corridor.
It didn't take long for the players who were still alive to go upstairs one after another. Some players were still stained with blood from the fight just now, and each chose their own room.
The night was getting deeper and deeper.
The guest rooms in the castle are very large, and the intervals between the rooms are naturally wide, and each one is very delicate. The very retro-style bed and the long table with the copper mirror are against the wall. A candle-shaped electric lamp is lit on the bedside. The light bulb flickers little by little. The warm yellow and gentle light is really dazzling in the flickering .
Yan Wei lay on the bed, turned over, the doll coin locked in the pocket of the windbreaker collided with the swallow coin, making a slight "clang" sound. There were always some eerie and eerie noises coming from outside, but this time he fell asleep very quickly.
Ever since he assembled the incomplete moon disc, his physical strength has declined due to the constant replenishment of the incomplete corner of the moon disc, and he is already very tired after tossing all night. He was immortal again today, at least he had a guarantee, so he didn't think much about it, and fell into a deep sleep in the blink of an eye.
Before falling asleep, Yan Wei just wondered in a daze, whether the fragments of getting along with Yan Mingguang would still be scattered but vague in today's dream. But he might be too tired today, and he slept very deeply this time.
Until the middle of the night, Yan Wei was awakened by a sudden scream.
This kind of situation is already considered common in the dungeon, he rubbed his eyes with a headache, turned over and planned to continue sleeping. But as soon as he turned over, he felt that the light in front of him, which was supposed to emit a faint light, suddenly lost its brightness. Even with his eyes closed, he could feel something standing in front of the small light, blocking the light in the room. the only source of light.
The air in the house was very cold.
Not knowing that the screams in that room had stopped, Yan Wei heard a "creak" and "creak" sound.
A coolness slid over his neck, and he opened his eyes suddenly.
The man in the peaked cap with a wooden face was slowly bending over and standing in front of him. He looked at Yan Wei, Yan Wei looked at him, neither of them moved at this moment.
And beside the bed, the number lamp following him was showing the number "22".
The next moment, the puppet suddenly stretched out his hand towards Yan Wei!
Yan Wei took out the moon wheel and instantly erected a very small barrier between him and the puppet. The moment the puppet's hand was blocked, he turned over and got out of bed and ran out of the house.
This puppet obviously didn't want to kill him. If it was an evil puppet, maybe if the man in the peaked cap ran into him, he would turn into a puppet in an instant. Whether the puppet counted as instant death or not, he didn't know. Yan Wei didn't dare to take the risk without certain assurance.
The puppet that was moving slowly just now suddenly exerted strength the moment Yan Wei rolled over and got off the bed, and chased after him without the slightest hesitation. Yan Wei broke through the door, and at the same time, he immediately let go of his perception, unexpectedly quickly connected to Yan Mingguang's perception: [Are you awake? Dead ice! ! Yan Mingguang! ! Teacher Yan! ! Whether you save people or turn them into puppets, it all depends on how fast you wake up! ! !]
As soon as he went out, he turned to the direction of Yan Mingguang's room, but as soon as he ran to the door, he found that the door of the other party's room was already open, and there was no one in it. At this time, the puppet was chasing after him, and it was too late to go back to the room of Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou. The two seemed to be still asleep, and he couldn't connect with Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou's perception, so he had to continue running. .
[Mr. Yan, where did you go? ?]
With the help of the burst of perception skills, Yan Mingguang spoke extremely fast: [Wait for me.]
The puppet was only two meters away from him, but Yan Wei suddenly felt relieved.
Seeing that there was a fork in the road ahead, Yan Wei braked to turn and chose a random road to run. But as soon as he turned the corner, the number floating up and down from "22" under his feet suddenly jumped to "28".
Yan Wei: "..." This is no luck.
There will be more puppets within 300 meters of this road. Yan Wei used the moon wheel several times in a row to block the chasing puppets behind him, gaining a few seconds. At the next fork in the road, I decisively chose the road that can turn back.
But this time, as soon as he turned the corner, a person standing in the middle of the walk appeared in front of Yan Wei, facing him.
Yan Wei: "..." He felt that what he was playing was not catching puppets, but Pac-Man.
Panting for breath, he braked with his front foot, holding the moon wheel in his palm, and once again used the little energy left to run the moon wheel, briefly blocking the man in the peaked cap behind him.
But the person standing in front of him and blocking his way just stood calmly, as if he heard Yan Wei's movement, he slowly raised his head towards Yan Wei's direction.
The person in front was wearing a windbreaker, pocketing with one hand, and wrapping up a scarf with the other. He has jet-black hair, stretched brows, and a pair of pale brown eyes as clear as amber, with eyelashes trembling in the blink of an eye. The bridge of the nose is slightly straight, the lips are thin, and she has a gentle face with peach blossoms when she smiles.
Yan Wei took a breath.
