Then, she turned her head and looked fiercely at someone who had found a place to sit down in the room.
"...So why are you looking at me?"
Looking at Yanhuo Fengyue who was in a state of embarrassment and even had a few weeds in his hair, Bai Zhi couldn't help but rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"I didn't drag you in. Didn't you say you wouldn't come in here before? And besides, I didn't ask you to save me just now..."
"You're overthinking it. I was robbing monsters just now. Do you know what robbing heads means?"
With a cold snort, she took out another lollipop from her pocket, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into her mouth. Yanhuo Fengyue directly returned the original words that someone had said in front of her.
"Save you? Don't be so presumptuous. I'm hiding well by myself. Why should I risk being exposed to save you? If it weren't for the points given by the system evaluation... "
Before she finished her sentence, the sound of chains dragging on the ground came from outside the door. When she heard this sound, Yanhuo Fengyue subconsciously held her breath.
After a while, the sound of the iron chain faded away, and the calmness at the beginning returned to the outside.
"When did you get here?"
Bai Zhi looked away from the door and looked at the fireworks and wind and moon in front of him.
"Hey...an hour ahead of you."
It was obvious that he had no intention of continuing the argument, and with a soft hum in his mouth, Yanhuo Fengyue also found a place to sit down in the room.
"Then when I got here, I was almost killed by a guard, that kind of disgusting monster..."
When she said this, she had a look of disgust on her face. It was obvious that the guards she encountered before had left a deep and indelible impression on her.
"Then later, I hid in the castle for several hours, until you made a big noise and saw you coming down from upstairs... Have you gone to see Anna?"
"Yeah, I've seen it before. Anyway, it's very cute."
Bai Zhi nodded seriously.
Fireworks Fengyue: "???"
"The core of the castle outside is Anna, but inside this castle full of weirdness, the core is not Anna."
Looking at the other party's expression, he shrugged and told the information he had obtained from the door of Anna's room.
"Judging from that situation, the other party may still be alive, but we just don't know where he is in Rose Manor. If we can find him, we can get quite a lot of information. The one you had before..."
"It's gone. The inventory is almost used up. Are you still looking for someone? It's good to be able to prevent yourself from being found."
After hearing Bai Zhi's words, Yanhuo Fengyue's face suddenly darkened involuntarily.
"Do you really think those kitchen utensils are free? It's impossible to recycle them under those circumstances. I've suffered a big loss this time, okay?"
"...I mean the little red ball."
"It's gone. It's a consumable prop in itself. Those are the last few!! High-end items used to save lives!!"
"Is this like this..."
After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked out the window, and suddenly asked the other party a strange question.
"Compared to the inside of the castle where there are all kinds of monsters everywhere, the outside of the castle is obviously a more suitable place to hide. Why didn't you hide outside the castle? Is it because there is something outside the castle?"
"Outside the castle? You can see for yourself and find out."
Seemingly unhappy, Yan Huo Fengyue turned around and threw the opponent's back directly.
"Remember it's best not to look at it for too long, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you."
"...can't look too long?"
Bai Zhi glanced at the other party thoughtfully, then stood up and walked to the window. Although the window in this utility room was a bit high, there were many things in the room that could be used as a stepping stone.
Looking around, the sun is shining brightly outside the castle.
Blue sky and white clouds, gentle breeze, birds chirping and flowers fragrant.
The warm but not hot sunlight shines on the earth, making people feel warm.
"There's nothing weird about it... What do you mean you can't watch for too long?"
Just when Bai Zhi was thinking about the meaning of what the other party said, in a daze, he suddenly saw the sky above Rose Manor shaking like a reflection in the water, revealing his true self in front of him. face.
—Those are countless blood-red tentacles hanging downward.
The place where these tentacles are connected is a large black cloud, which almost covers the entire sky above Rose Manor. Those blood-red tentacles extend downward from the black clouds, and the longest one has even hung down. Arrived at the window.
"...the illusion I saw in the real world before?"
Bai Zhi raised his head and stared at the blood-red tentacles hanging from the sky directly above him. Soon, Bai Zhi discovered that these tentacles had no intention of moving at all, as if they were just pictures.
But even if these thousands of blood-red tentacles hanging down from the sky have no intention of moving, the sense of oppression they bring is real.
After he stared above for a moment, those tentacles quickly disappeared, and the sky above Rose Manor returned to the scene of blue sky and white clouds.
"Hmm... I still want to eat takoyaki..."
Reaching out and touching his chin, Bai Zhi had a look of regret on his face, but before he could think too much, a strong force came from the side and pulled him down from above.
"I told you not to look too much. Didn't you understand what I said? You still looked at it for so long... "
Arriving at his side at some unknown time, Yanhuo Fengyue had a look of anger on his face.
"After all, you are also a good player, haven't you noticed the changes in yourself!?"
"Uh... what's the change?"
Bai Zhi lowered his head and looked at himself, with a puzzled expression on his face.
"If you stare at that thing for too long, be careful that tentacles will grow out of your face, body and hands!!"
Yanhuo Fengyue spoke fiercely.
"Open your attribute bar and move your gaze to the sanity item. Take a look for yourself. How much sanity is consumed in just such a short time!! You have never encountered this before. Is this a mandatory mission that will consume sanity points!?”
"Hmm... are you sane?"
Following the other party's instructions, Bai Zhi opened his own attributes, and then turned his attention to the sanity column.
[reason:? ? ?]
"Well, that's right, a lot of sanity is indeed consumed..."
Closing the attribute bar that was only visible to him, Bai Zhi nodded solemnly as he looked at the fireworks and wind and moon in front of him.
"It's really scary."
Good morningヽ(ー_ー)ノq
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 270 Chapter 266 I am a billion points higher than you
It is not safe inside the castle, but outside the castle, it may be even more dangerous.
This danger does not come from the thousands of blood-red tentacles hanging down from the gray clouds in the sky, because most of them are illusory, just like a map, shadowy but not real.
-The real danger comes from the horrific consequences of declining sanity when looking directly at them.
"You saw it just now. You can't look directly at that kind of thing for too long, otherwise your sanity value will continue to drop. The longer you look at it, the faster the sanity value will drop."
Glancing at Bai Zhi in front of him with some suspicion, he took out the lollipop from his mouth, and Yanhuo Fengyue spoke.
"Although those blood-red tentacles hanging from the leaden clouds in the sky are just a product of illusion, they are simply not something we can fight against now."
"So is it because of this that the outside of the castle is unsafe?"
Bai Zhi glanced outside thoughtfully, and nodded with understanding.
"Outside the castle, even if you don't actively look at the sky, your sanity will be reduced?"
"That's right, as long as you stay outside the castle, your sanity will slowly decline over time. No one wants to bear the consequences of sanity falling to zero or even a negative number... You just stared at the sky for so long, How much has your sanity value dropped?"
Staring at Bai Zhi in front of him, Yanhuo Fengyue looked suspicious.
"I watched it for about ten seconds before. Not only did I have a severe headache, but I also felt itchy all over my body, as if something was about to come out from under my skin... You have been watching it for almost a minute at least. Well, you don’t feel anything? Do you think you are more rational than me? "
"Uh... my sanity has indeed dropped, and it's dropped a lot."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded seriously.
"As for the feeling, of course it's there. It's probably because I'm hungry and want to eat takoyaki..."
"I'm not kidding you."
After hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Yanhuo Fengyue's complexion suddenly darkened.
"It's so dangerous here. We don't even know how to get back. Now we are all in the same boat. Can't you be a little more serious?"
"You believe it when I tell a lie, but you don't believe it when I tell the truth. What can you tell me?"
Bai Zhi curled his lips and sat down somewhere casually in the utility room.
"As for the latter question... yes, my sanity should be higher than yours, probably only a hundred million points higher, not much."
"Tsk, isn't it great to be more rational?"
He snorted softly and leaned against the wall with his hands folded. Yanhuo Fengyue felt inexplicably unhappy.
"You seem to have a good mind, so tell me, what should we do now? It seems that we came here just to kill Anna, right? If Anna can't be killed, what should we do?"
"It's very simple. We need information now."
Bai Zhi held out a finger in front of him, his expression concise and concise.
"The real owner of this castle, the boss at the end of the level, Anna's parents, has the ability to temporarily seal our skills, so we must try our best to ensure that the effects of our skills are not exposed while looking for them in this castle. Finding the clues we need is like a jigsaw puzzle, as long as we find enough clues, the truth of the matter will be completely pieced together."
"Sealing skills... you crow's mouth."
The corners of Yanhuo Fengyue's mouth suddenly twitched fiercely.
"What, is your cook's version of the king's treasure sealed?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"That's right, within two hours, I won't be able to use that skill anymore, even though the inventory is basically gone..."
She raised her head and glanced at him, then put the lollipop into her mouth again, with a depressed look on her face.
"If the skill effect will be sealed once exposed, it will be impossible to fight at all. In this case, how do you think we can obtain information?"
"Isn't there an investigator before us? If he was able to leave that piece of information at Anna's door, then he should also be able to leave information elsewhere in the castle."
Shrugging, Bai Zhi looked noncommittal.
"Let's go to the underground library next. There should be everything we need in there."
Their current location is in a utility room on the third floor. Since today is a special celebration and those in the castle are preparing for the evening banquet, it can be said that at this time the castle It's quite lively.
It was quite difficult to leave from the third floor without anyone noticing, then go all the way down to the first floor and enter the underground library through the entrance.
Of course, if Bai Zhi is alone, it will be very easy. The simplest is to let the shadow guard arrive at the underground library and then he can directly replace him.
However, if you bring the fireworks and wind and moon, the difficulty will immediately increase extremely. After all, other people are not like Bai Zhi, who possess a perfect skill that is completely life-saving in all aspects.
"The Black Shadow Corps... You didn't get some ghost mask, did you?"
Looking at the shadow guard walking out of Bai Zhi's shadow, Yanhuo Fengyue looked slightly dumbfounded.
"Yes, yes. Not only did I collect ten masks, I also got 12 charms and eight demonic energies. How about it, are you envious?"
Nodding very perfunctorily, Bai Zhi gave the order to the shadow guard directly in his mind, and then watched the shadow guard turn into a flowing black shadow and leave from the crack of the door.
"I envy your size. Anyway, if I die here this time, I will never be done with you."
After glaring at him and rummaging around in his backpack, Yanhuo Fengyue took out an hourglass.
As she turned the hourglass on her hand upside down, her size immediately shrank rapidly. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a pocket-sized figure as big as a thumb, which looked quite inconspicuous.
"Is this how you escaped before?"
This was the first time he saw such a magical prop. After lifting the opponent from the ground with his hands, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows in interest as he looked at Thumbelina in front of him.
"The most important thing for high-level players is the ability to save their lives. It's just that they have become smaller. What's so surprising about it?"
He simply sat cross-legged in the palm of Bai Zhi's hand, and Yanhuo Fengyue snorted coldly in his mouth.
"I'm warning you, don't think of any evil thoughts. In this state, even though my power will shrink..."
"I still remember when I was a child, I saw a person with exquisite facial features, handsome face, and pure and clean aura. He looked like an elf who could not eat the fireworks of the world."
