The third night was safe and sound.
Waking up early in the morning, everyone relaxed a lot, and the tension lingering in the house due to the appearance of the female ghost yesterday also eased a little.
Zhou Chengshuo thought that he had found the rules of the game, and after everyone gathered in the kitchen, he couldn't wait to start speaking.
"First of all, there is one thing we can rest assured." He tapped the edge of the dinner plate with a fork to attract the attention of others, and said methodically, "In this instance, players will not really die. The chance can be resurrected, but I just don’t know if there will be a limit to the number of times each person can be reborn.”
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the heavily made-up Shamat girl, but after being stared back displeasedly by the other party, he quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Ahem..." Zhou Chengshuo cleared his throat, and said, "That's why I said, this copy is still very friendly, everyone can take action with peace of mind, don't worry about life..."
"In this case, why don't you go to the basement to have a look first?" Bo Ye interrupted him midway, and said calmly. "Wait until you come up and report the situation there."
"..." Glancing at the rotating cabinet in the kitchen, Zhou Chengshuo's expression changed.
There is an ominous atmosphere hidden in the dark space exposed behind the cabinet. Although he is a big man, he is still not so bold that he can easily enter the secret passage.
Zhou Chengshuo coughed twice to get away, knocked on the plate with a fork, and continued: "Second, everyone, don't provoke the twins. If they cry and make trouble, someone will be unlucky. Avoid it if you can. , leave the matter of the twins to Gu Meng, and let's stop messing around."
Gu Meng: "..."
He agreed to this
Gu Meng raised her head from the bowl, bit off the rice grains on her lower lip, and said, "I think the matter of the twins can be discussed again, after all..."
Hearing this, Zhou Chengshuo immediately frowned, put his hands together in front of his chin, and exhaled heavily from his nasal cavity impatiently, as if Gu Meng was unreasonable.
Seeing that Zhou Chengshuo was pretending to be a president again, as if he was going to give a lecture in the next second, Gu Meng's heart was full of alarms, she stopped talking quickly, and raised her hand to make a "stop" gesture.
"Okay, pretend I didn't say anything." He said, "This is my problem, I'll solve it myself."
"Think about it again." Zhou Chengshuo relaxed his expression in satisfaction, and said, "I don't think this is a problem."
Gu Meng quietly twitched the corners of her lips.
After Zhou Chengshuo summed up the current clues, he took Qiu Zai and others out of the kitchen.
The Shamate brothers and sisters returned to the room as usual.
Since Lulu's accident, the two of them seldom went downstairs, perhaps because they felt that the room was safer.
Turning around, Bo Ye said, "Don't listen to what he said."
Peter Pan blinked his round eyes and looked at him with an expression of seeking solutions.
"Do you really think I'm playing the infinite rebirth trumpet?" Bo Ye walked to the revolving wooden cabinet, leaned on the wall and looked into the secret passage, the strange smell emanating from it made him frown uncontrollably.
Behind them are all their own people, Bo Ye reminded: "Don't take it lightly, what does rebirth mean is not certain."
There was a switch next to it, and he pressed it.
The incandescent lamp in the middle of the tunnel flickered with difficulty, but there was no response.
Bo Ye turned around and asked the people behind him, "Is there anything that can illuminate?"
"I can't find a flashlight in the house, but everyone has candles in their boxes." Gu Meng said, "It can be used for lighting. I used it last time."
"Oh?" Bo Ye patted the wall plaster on his hands, and said casually, "I thought it was for dripping wax."
Everyone reacted for a while.
Peter Pan quickly covered little Lolita's ears: "Sister! Don't listen!"
Tang Zhi pulled off the hood of his coat, covering half of his red face.
There were no candles in Bo Ye's suitcase.
The night before yesterday, Tang Zhi, who was wearing a maid outfit, took it to play, and the leftover half was thrown into the trash can.
But it doesn't matter, the others haven't used it yet.
Peter Pan stayed in the kitchen to guard the entrance, and the others went to the basement together.
Bo Ye and Tang Zhi quietly conspired together: "Anyway, that boss is not human, so he shouldn't be able to die, right?"
So Eun Jin was pushed to the front to open the way.
Enjin held on to the candlestick with one hand, and took it for granted with the other hand to hold Gu Meng behind her.
Unexpectedly, Gu Meng subconsciously took a step to the side.
Bo Ye and Tang Zhi looked at each other, and saw the confusion in each other's eyes—
Are these two really back together
At this time, Enjin put down her hand and reminded in a soft voice: "Follow closely."
He kept going.
Gu Meng bit her lower lip angrily, feeling a little sorry.
But after he knew Enjin's identity, he still had some difficulty accepting it for a short time, and even couldn't help but feel fear in his heart.
I still remember the conversation last night clearly—
Enjin said frankly: "I am different from your living body characteristics."
Gu Meng was surprised: "Then what breed are you?"
Enjin said: "...you don't understand even if you tell me."
Gu Meng calmed down a bit, and said, "Who are you? What's your real name?"
Enjin said: "I don't have a name, but after entering here, they all call me a master."
"Master?" Gu Meng couldn't help asking, "The master of the Rhythm Master?"
Enjin, who doesn't know much about the culture of the earth music circle: "???"
Gu Meng asked the question that has always troubled him: "Why are humans forced to enter such a space."
"It's about a screening plan." Enjin said, "The game is the test."
Gu Meng said: "What will happen to those who pass the screening...or pass the test? What will happen to those who fail?"
"Those who pass can go to the promised land." Enjin replied.
As for the ones that didn't pass, they were deliberately ignored.
Gu Meng was silent for a while, then asked: "And then?"
Enjin said, "There is no more."
Stopping the memory, Gu Meng followed Enjin with her head down, with a beeping dog expression on her face.
At this moment, Tang Zhi walked up to Gu Meng, touched him with his elbow, and asked in a low voice of concern, "Teacher Gu, what's wrong with you?"
By the dim candlelight, Gu Meng looked sideways at Tang Zhi, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You already know?"
Tang Zhi thought about it and guessed what he was talking about, so he lost his scruples and said frankly, "Enjin brought me back."
Gu Meng nodded, turned her head and glanced at Bo Ye, then looked at Tang Zhi again, and said, "I thought transnational love was not easy..."
Tang Zhi is of Chinese and Japanese mixed blood, and has lived in Japan all year round. He heard that he had experienced some twists and turns during his foreign relationship with Bo Ye.
Gu Meng paused for a moment, then continued: "I didn't expect there to be interspecies love... This is even more difficult... It's too difficult for me."
Tang Zhi: "..."
Walking along the dark passage to the end, there is a steep downward staircase.
Very narrow, just enough for one person to pass.
A group of five people walked down one by one.
Angela was petite and looked fragile, so she was arranged to walk among the men.
Angela held the clown doll to her nose, she really hated the perennially airtight smell in the basement.
She suddenly thought of it, and asked, "Is that idiot Pan Peter okay up there alone?"
"If you're worried, you can go up and accompany him." Bo Ye chuckled lightly.
"Tch." Loli flicked her ponytails with a look of disdain and did not respond.
There was an iron door facing the bottom of the stairs, and Enjin pushed it open.
A burst of dust dispersed.
Everyone waved their hands in front of their eyes to sweep away the choking dust and smell, coughing lightly from time to time.
Enjin and Bo Ye walked into the basement first with candlesticks in their hands.
I took a candlelight and found that it was an underground space of more than 100 square meters.
Directly in front of the door was a long, narrow window like a drain-bar, looking out onto the grass in the garden.
It was severe winter at the moment, and snow piled up on the lawn, half blocking the windows that were only about 20 centimeters high. The field of view became narrower, and only faint light penetrated in.
The dark basement is very empty, with boxes of sundries piled up in the corners, bicycles covered in cobwebs, and scrapped old electrical appliances.
Gu Meng looked around, pointed to the right, and said, "Has anyone lived here?"
It turned out that in the corner he indicated, there was a dilapidated wooden bed, the quilt on the bed was twisted into a ball, and there was a low cabinet next to the bed, and there was a cup on the cabinet.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like traces of someone's life.
Tang Zhi took the candlestick from Bo Ye and walked to the bedside.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, I saw that the bed was in a mess, except for mold stains and blood stains, and the quilt was so dirty that I couldn't see it.
He frowned and couldn't help taking a step back.
How can such a bed sleep
Tang Zhi glanced at a corner of the cardboard box protruding from the bottom of the bed. Curious, he knelt down on the ground and lowered himself.
Holding on to the candlestick, he looked sideways at the bottom of the bed.
The bottom of the bed was pitch-black, and it was only through the candlelight that one could see that there were balls of white clothes stuffed inside, and at the same time blood stains could be seen on the clothes.
Tang Zhi straightened up with a face of discomfort.
Bo Ye came over, pushed him to the side, and said with a light smile, "Young master, I'll do this kind of dirty work, and you'll be in charge of your beauty."
On the side, Enjin dragged the cardboard box out from under the bed, and there was another burst of dust.
Bo Ye picked up the small stick at the side, and pulled out a piece of clothing from under the bed.
He flicked the dress with a stick, unfolded it, only to find that it was a blood-stained loose nightdress.
It looked more like a hospital gown in a hospital operating room.
Gu Meng stood behind Bo Ye and watched, pondered for a moment, and said, "I may know who it is."
"Who are you referring to?" Tang Zhi asked him.
"That woman." Gu Meng said, "The woman under the bed is also wearing such clothes."
Bo Ye threw the stick, got up and patted the ashes on his pants, and said, "So we stabbed the female ghost's nest?"
At this time, Gu Meng felt something flashing behind her, just like the feeling she experienced in the corridor on the first night.
He subconsciously looked back—
It was pitch black behind him, and there was nothing strange about it.
In other words, in the pitch black, even if there is nothing, nothing can be seen.
He raised his hand uncomfortably and rubbed the back of his neck, then spontaneously moved towards Enjin.
On the other side, Enjin and Angela had already opened the cardboard box, and first took out a photo album from inside.
When they opened the photo album, the first photo was a group photo of two people, but by accident, someone's face was completely cut out.
Look at the clothes and grooming is a woman.
Enjin was about to turn the pages again, when a whisper came from her ear: "Hello..."
Enjin was fine, but Angela was taken aback.
Little Lolita stroked her chest, and when she saw that it was Gu Meng, she rolled her eyes angrily.
Of course, she rolled her eyes quietly without letting her brother see.
Enjin looked at Gu Meng who was at the side, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gu Meng glanced at Angela hesitantly, as if it was inconvenient to speak.
Enjin saw it clearly, closed the photo album, and said, "Let's be honest, he's not human either."
"..."
Gu Meng, Bo Ye and Tang Zhi digested in silence for a moment.
Some things have to be accepted.
"But don't let Peter Pan know about this." Angela swung her ponytail proudly and whispered three words, "He doesn't deserve it."
Bo Ye said, "Okay, sister."
Enjin urged Gu Meng with her eyes, signaling him to say something quickly.
Gu Meng thought for a while, then bit the bullet and said: "Since everyone is so familiar...can you reveal some game strategy?"
Enjin and Angela looked at each other.
Hearing what Gu Meng said, Tang Zhi's eyes lit up in the dark.
Since Enjin was able to take him away from the seventh day, it means that the man must have some authority in the game, and more or less should know how to quickly clear the level, at least to remind them to avoid all dangers.
Unexpectedly, Angela sneered at this moment, looked at Gu Meng arrogantly, and said, "Are you so sure what Enjin knows?"
Gu Meng is actually not sure.
I saw him scratching the end of his eyebrows, and said awkwardly: "Isn't Enjin a master of rhythm, she's already at the master level, so it's impossible that she doesn't know everything."
Angela: "...what?"
Enjin: "..."
The author has something to say:
Angela: "... what rhythm?"
Gu Meng: "Master of Rhythm?"
Angela: "What master?"
Gu Meng: "...Master of Rhythm."
Bo Ye: "Did Rhythm Master pay you for advertising?"
