As the saying goes, if you don't explode in silence, you will perish in silence.
—Geng Qinghe saw that this guy was about to explode in silence.
There was a strange silence in the air, and the water splashed on the ground was still dripping quietly, like a dynamite ignition cord, flowing into a trickling stream, until it reached Langton's feet.
So, he instinctively felt something was wrong.
This, this really caused the incident to explode, seeing that his face turned blue with anger? !
He tried his best to wink at the boss, trying to communicate with his eyes, but the boss just glanced at him.
Lin You even kicked the empty plastic bucket aside.
The noise stirred Langton's nerves even more.
From Linyou's point of view, the matter must develop to this point sooner or later. It might be better to say that it is the best choice to start now-the magic circle has just been completed, and some protective magic or spells may be used in a while, and it will be too late by then.
Langton lowered his head, with half of his face buried in the shadows. After a while, something suddenly came out of his mouth.
It was a series of unknown languages, and when he recited it in a low voice, it inexplicably brought out some indescribable terror. Langton's speech was fast and reverent, as if he was calling for something very earnestly.
… Depend on.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lin You saw the tentacles protruding from the door move.
Geng Qinghe's expression was not very good-looking. Seeing their expressions change, Langton let out a sharp laugh.
"Ha, hahahahaha—do you really think I can't do anything like this?"
He raised his head, his face full of madness, "As long as I wake up the dark children of the mother god, this lord can crush you as well!"
The rope-like tentacles by the door moved again, and they were about to wriggle out. Lin You was startled, and suddenly came to his senses, grabbed the arm of the person next to him with his backhand, and ran to the entrance of the hall when he was going back and forth.
Geng Qinghe didn't even hesitate, and ran after her.
Langton watched their fleeing backs with cold eyes, and had no intention of stopping them—he knew that they would not be able to escape from the hotel, and all he had to do was enjoy the cat-and-mouse game.
When the hall door was slammed shut, another door opened quietly.
The monster behind the door finally revealed its true body.
It was a huge mass reaching to the ceiling, completely black. Its body is densely covered with sticky whip-like tentacles, and it is surrounded by several huge mouths, with green mucus constantly dripping from the sharp teeth.
The height of this floor is not enough for it to stand up completely, and the few stubby hooves under it kneel on the ground, using it to move with snake-like tentacles.
The lump turned its head slowly, and even though it had no eyes, it could still be felt that it was looking in Langton's direction.
"Please bring them back." The latter said respectfully.
the other side of the door.
"That-"
Before running out the door, Geng Qinghe, who caught a glimpse of half of the monster's body, ran and said in horror: "What the hell is that?!"
Lin You was a little out of breath from running, she was not the type with much physical strength in reality. In "The Box", the player's stamina and various upper limits are determined by the profession, so how much can you expect from a profession that sounds like a long-range summoner.
"Have you," she asked, "ever heard of the Cthulhu Mythos?"
Geng Qinghe: "... what?"
"Simply put, it is a horror legend system."
If she guessed correctly, this is the whole truth of this dungeon, "For example, what you said about the giant slime before, the slime comes from a creature called Shoggoth inside—"
"So that's a Shoggoth?!"
"Listen to me!" Lin You said angrily, "I was surprised when I heard 'Supreme Mother Goddess', and seeing that guy again..."
"The mother god he talks about," she said, "should be the black goat of the forest that has given birth to thousands of offspring, Shab Nicholas."
Geng Qinghe was still at a loss.
"Since the one behind the door is called 'Dark Son' by Langton, it is most likely the black goat cub."
Lin You took a deep breath, "They are the descendants of the so-called black goats, acting as the agents of Shabu Nicholas. Langton once summoned it in the ceremony, and now he wants to use us as sacrifices and It acts as a medium to summon Shabu Nicholas!"
"Ah—it doesn't matter if you don't understand! All in all, you just need to know that it's a mythical creature," she said hastily, "you don't have much chance of winning if you face it head-on!"
Geng Qinghe gulped it down, "Then what should we do now?!"
"Go down and tell them the news, and—"
Lin You was silent for a few seconds.
Then it's up to each other.
The hotel lobby is brightly lit.
Everyone sat scattered on the sofa, and even with the natural protection against ghosts in horror movies like the lighting, no one dared to relax a bit—after all, it turned out that the lighting had little effect on the kind of guy here.
Several people are staring at the wall clock on the wall, hoping that the minute and second hands will go faster and faster, so that they can walk to "6" quickly to get out of the hotel.
It so happened that at this moment, there was a loud noise above the head, which sounded like the sound of the wood being violently broken by someone.
Chen Jun was so shocked that he jumped up from the sofa.
"Did something happen to those two?" He asked alertly.
Before the words were finished, there was a rush of footsteps, and the five of them were at the same level. They turned their heads one after another to see the two who had left, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"We're fine—for now." Lin You took a breath, "There's good news and bad news, which one to listen to first?"
"Bad." Chen Jun subconsciously said.
Lin You glanced at Geng Qinghe, who understood, and explained the investigation in a few words.
The hall was dead silent.
"Just, that is to say," Wang Yan stammered, "If we stay here, will we be treated as living sacrifices?"
"The situation is not much better now."
Chen Jun looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't that provoking that guy to wake up the monster?"
"You mean you should leave the summoning array, and let everyone finish playing when the time comes?" Lin You replied without showing any weakness, she looked away, "Don't forget, there is good news."
"He originally wanted to wait for the black goat cub to wake up by himself, probably because it is in the best condition and the ceremony is most likely to be successful."
She said: "This means that its strength when it is forcibly awakened may not be full."
"So," Liang Yong realized something, "we have a chance to escape?"
"Run, where are you going??"
"The doors and windows here are locked, how can you escape—"
"Even if you run away, what can you do? If it's really like the monster you mentioned, won't you be caught up if you go out?"
Lin You silently made a quiet gesture amidst the chattering discussions.
The scene fell silent.
They no longer dare to underestimate this girl. Even if Geng Qinghe didn't witness the whole process of what she did, just based on the results of the other party's investigation and his overly calm attitude from beginning to end, he should know that this girl is not simple.
This is the first time this is the new book, this is the thigh, what are you waiting for if you don't hurry up and hug it? !
"The dungeon will not end in a dead end. I have searched from the first floor to the third floor. Since there are none, it proves that the exit must be on the fourth floor."
There is a big lake next to it, the big deal is to jump directly after reaching the roof.
... She always felt like she forgot something.
But I can't care about that now.
"As for what to do next, isn't the reminder obvious?" Lin You said, "—if the fire is not enough, then add more gasoline."
Everyone: "..."
Really special.
Regardless of the black goat cub itself, at least according to the setting of this copy, the proprietress once wanted to burn the entire hotel. Although it fell short in the end, according to the attitude of these ghosts, it was useful to do so!
"I found a lighter." Chen Jun said.
"Gasoline is also available," Liang Yong recalled his awkward "I'll cover you" attitude towards others at the beginning, and he took the initiative to say, "We saw it in the storage room on the third floor. What's the use."
Now that I think about it, maybe the proprietress left it useless.
"Then get gasoline on the way..."
Before the words finished, there was the sound of the wooden steps being overwhelmed again on the stairs, and Lin You said inwardly that it was not good.
Black tentacles popped out.
—What else do you need to say, run away!
"Scatter," she shouted, "to the third floor!"
Fortunately, the first floor is the hall, and there are suspended stairs going up on the left and right sides.
Qi Lanlan tripped and fell in panic, and fell behind the crowd when she regained her senses. She looked down, and found that there was a black thing around her waist with chills all over her body.
Wang Yan subconsciously turned around and pulled, watching helplessly as the thick tentacle flicked, and the opponent was completely sent into one of the mouths.
Two screams sounded at the same time, but the one coming from inside stopped abruptly in the middle.
— Judgment out.
"Run!" Liang Yong shoved Wang Yan, "Otherwise you will be next!"
He remembered where the gasoline was still. As soon as he reached the third floor, the monster was still chasing after him. His scalp was tingling and he hurriedly tried to open the door of the storage room. The door that he opened easily before could not be opened because of shaking hands.
Anxious, he kicked up directly.
The door opened in response, and Liang Yong quickly took out three barrels of gasoline from inside.
As he ran and sprinkled, the corridor behind him was soaked with gasoline, and the black goat cubs following behind were covered in gasoline.
Everyone panicked and went straight up the stairs leading to the fourth floor. Lin You quickly identified the direction. Langton may have gone to the banquet hall where he was, so he could only go to the other side—
"ladder!"
Wang Yan screamed: "I saw the ladder!"
As soon as he looked up, there was an obvious sign of movement on the ceiling near the ladder-it really left a way for them. Liang Yong and Geng Qinghe frantically propped up the ladder and removed the baffle.
Chen Jun frantically pressed the lighter beside him, sweating so anxiously that he finally lit a little flame.
Tongues of flame exploded.
The space left by the baffle was only enough for one person to pass through, and the last one, Chen Jun, almost climbed up to the roof with the tentacles and the raging fire. As soon as he came up, he scrambled and scrambled to hide for a long time, even though he knew that the other party would not be able to come up for a while, he still felt lingering fear when he saw the tentacles still sticking out of the hole and waving, and the black goat cubs below hit the ceiling one after another.
"This is a crack." He said with a pale face.
"It seems that it will come up sooner or later," Lin You said, "jump quickly."
The hotel is next to the lake, and no one knows how deep it is. Even if it is deep enough, jumping rashly from more than ten meters will most likely lose a lot of physical strength.
But that's all there is to do now.
With a strong sense of weightlessness, Lin You held her breath and fell straight into the water.
She opened her eyes in the water, and saw that her stamina bar had dropped by half. She was about to swim up when she suddenly felt something cold entangle her.
At that moment, Lin You finally remembered what she had forgotten.
She lowered her head, facing a swollen face.
