Beijing time 01:05

From 1301 to 1829, then from 1829 back to 1074.

The little friends spend most of their time in the corridor, and Qian Ai has already reached the doubtful life: "solve the puzzle for five minutes, walk for an hour..."

Even the couldn't hold on any longer. Five minutes ago, the time limit expired, and the work was terminated unilaterally.

Fortunately, 1074 also arrived.

The one with the least sense of fatigue here is Captain Xu. The student was immersed in the "Letters and Memoirs" throughout the whole process. When he calmed down, he was already standing in front of door 1074. His strength interprets what it means to "close your eyes and open your eyes, and the day dawns." ".

His teammates were all waiting for him to speak, so Xu Wang quickly switched back to the "breakthrough mode", held the doorknob, and pressed lightly.

The door is locked.

Looking left and right, Xu Wang knocked on 1074's door lightly after confirming that he did not see his peers within a close range.

The knock on the door fell, the door lock "clicked" and opened by itself.

There was a dim, strange gleam in the door.

The five partners entered the room cautiously, keeping vigilant silence from beginning to end.

Inside the room, it was pitch black, and no bedding, furnishings, or windows could be seen. It was like entering a dark cave with only a light in the middle. It was a crystal ball placed on the table, emitting a cold light. Behind the table was a gypsy girl with a veil covering her face. The cold light of the crystal ball reflected her snake-like eyes, mysterious and treacherous.

"Hello..." Xu Wang led the team to stand at the entrance, trying his best to smile and wave to the other side.

The gypsy girl raised her eyes, glanced at the five people, and was silent.

"Don't you understand?" Qian Ai muttered softly, and finally raised the volume slightly, "Nice to meet you!"

Xu Wang: "..."

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Qi Shan: "Well, what the captain said, it seems to be in English..."

"Do you know the girl in room 1829?" Wu Sheng said straight to the point, "We are helping her find someone to correspond with."

The gypsy woman put her hands on the crystal ball, and after a few seconds, a cloud of black air suddenly appeared in the crystal ball.

"Evil spirit." The woman raised her head and said the first sentence.

Her voice was low and hoarse, not chatting but saying some mysterious and ancient incantation.

The dark atmosphere is more oppressive.

"Are the evil spirits and the correspondent related?" Xu Wang asked the key point.

The gypsy woman did not continue, looked at the crystal ball, and continued: "The evil spirit is in this ancient castle, day after day, burning the flame of vengeance, hatred makes it immortal, jealousy makes it paranoid, avoids The only way for evil spirits-"

The woman slowly raised her eyes and looked at them again: "Deception."

Kuang Jinxin: "Deceiving evil spirits?"

The gypsy woman's gaze moved to his face, and finally answered: "Yes, use the substitute to deceive the evil spirit, and the fire of hell burns the substitute, and you can escape safely."

Kuang Jinxin asked, "What about the stand-in?"

The gypsy woman said: "Bear the pain."

Kuang Jinxin frowned: "It's not fair..."

The gypsy woman stroked the crystal ball, and the black air in the ball gradually dissipated: "Only those who are willing can become a substitute and deceive evil spirits."

Kuang Jinxin was speechless.

If you are willing, then it will not be the turn of others to comment.

"What if we don't want to hide?" Wu Sheng asked suddenly.

The gypsy woman was startled for a moment, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, obviously this question was not in her "divination scope".

Xu Wang spoke more clearly on behalf of his own military adviser: "We want to eliminate evil spirits, what should we do?"

"No," Qian Ai squeezed between the two of them, "you two calm down, how do you listen to this plot, it's a 360-degree horror line without dead ends, we can't take other people's tasks..."

Wu Sheng shook his head: "You have to look at the essence through phenomena."

Xu Wang looked at him deeply: "Old Qian, this is love."

Qian Ai: "… "

The world is full of dog food, why do you have to eat it in a haunted house! ! !

Heartbroken, Qian Ai was about to go to classmate Kuang for some comfort, but found that they were chatting with classmate Qi.

… The five of them walked together and instantly saw a single dog.

Covering his broken heart, Classmate Qian leaned over one ear and listened forcefully.

Kuang Jinxin: "This love line is not good."

I don't know what we talked about earlier, anyway, when Qian Ai heard it, that's what he said.

"The story line of the game is like this," Qi Shan said like a senior player, "You have to abuse it to show affection."

"It's not abuse," said Kuang Jinxin. "It's okay to be willing to do it for your body and mind, but do those who have really escaped evil spirits know?"

Qi Shan couldn't keep up with this idea: "Is it important?"

"Well." Kuang Jinxin nodded very seriously, "If the person who escaped the evil spirit also loves this stand-in, he will not agree with the other person to suffer for him."

Qi Shan: "Maybe you don't even know about it?"

Kuang Jinxin: "Then how sad it is to know?"

Qi Shan: "...This love line is really not that good."

Qian Aiwei listened to the whole process of Qi Shan's brainwashing. As a "come here", he was not surprised by the result.

Don't look at his own captain's ability to speak well, but when it comes to "missionary", it must be Jin Xin.

Over there, Sergeant Wu and Captain Xu almost made the gypsy girl cry, but the answer she got was that she didn't know which room the evil spirit was in, and the evil spirit could only be avoided but not destroyed.

"Don't you have any letters to give to us?" Captain Xu thought on a whim.

The expression of the gypsy girl, no matter how you look at it, looks like she is about to drive away guests.

Captain Xu sighed and whispered to Wu Sheng: "I'm like a mother to Xiao Kuang, but I'm a stepmother to us..."

Wu Sheng comforted his captain: "You can't compare with the youth who are favored by God."

Captain Xu was not reconciled: "Where am I missing?"

Wu Sheng said, "Are you really asking?"

Xu Wang: "...No need, thank you!"

This man definitely has a lot of "good advice" answers waiting for him!

Wu Sheng was happy, and he didn't know why he was happy. Anyway, since the beginning of the love line, he was in a particularly good mood. Once he was in a good mood, his mind opened up. He suddenly walked behind the gypsy girl, and within two steps, his figure was engulfed by darkness.

Xu Wang was startled, and immediately followed, without taking two steps, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Wu Sheng turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone.

Now, I can see more clearly, where there are dark caves, or hotel rooms, but empty, without any furniture, just thick curtains on the walls, no light at all.

Looking at each other, Xu Wang nodded.

Wu Sheng immediately stepped forward, pulled it with one hand, and the curtains were more than half open!

The bright sunshine poured in in an instant.

The light of the crystal ball itself is insignificant under the sun.

The previously mysterious and depressing atmosphere was gone.

"I've done it so early..." Qian Ai had a feeling of being out of the haunted house, and ran over immediately, pulling the curtains open.

Like the braided girl's room, behind the gypsy girl is a bright window, through which you can see the outside of the hotel, the wide lawn, and above, the blue sky...

"Ahhh-"

An unknown thing flew past the window, leaving a string of screams around the beam.

The five partners were unprepared and instantly stunned.

"Ahhh-"

The "thing" flew back again, still at the same speed as light, but this time it circled around the window and hovered outside the window for a while before flying out of the window's field of view, so the little friends probably saw that it was a man riding a broom of youth.

This scene is very common in magic movies.

But the magicians in the movie are definitely not wearing fluorescent green jackets.

The little friends ignored the gypsy girl and went around the divination table one after another to reach the window. Only then did they see clearly that there were not one but five brooms flying freely outside the window.

The trajectory of their flight is like a balloon in the wild.

That's fine, they're still screaming, cheering each other up—

"Hold on-"

"If you don't fall, you win—"

"It hurts ah ah ah-"

"It hurts to get used to-"

"No pain No gain."

"You fucking chose the line, you are still here to give me chicken soup!!!"

The five little friends fell into a subtle silence.

After half a minute, Xu Wang broke: "This should be the happy line..."

Qian Ai swallowed: "Where is the happiness?"

Kuang Jinxin said the truth: "The broom looks very happy."

Wu Sheng and Qi Shan: "..."

The happy line makes people who do not choose this line feel the joy of escaping from death.

After watching the quest lines of other teams for a short time, the friends are glad that they made the right choice.

The five turned around and were about to search the room carefully, but they were stunned in the next second.

Gypsy girl is gone.

On the divination table, there is only a crystal ball left.

Qian Ai's scalp was numb: "Is this a fortune teller or a vampire..."

As if responding to him, a small flame suddenly appeared in the crystal ball.

Soon, the flames turned into four burning numbers—1314.

Qian Ai frowned: "This room..."

Wu Sheng: "We went there first."

Xu Wang: "That writer."

Kuang Jinxin: "Come here for inspiration."

Qi Shan: "I want to write a revenge story."

… Can you leave a way out for poor students! ! !

The clues are already clear, and the five partners set off immediately.

As soon as the door opened, the opposite door also opened.

Ten friends, you look at me, I look at you, one of the other party, and Wu Sheng, immediately raised their arms at the same time!

Obviously, the team that can break through this level will have a tactical rehearsal for the sudden enemy situation and who will defend.

instantly.

A white railing was raised in front of the opponent, like a protective fence, surrounding his team.

On Xu Wang's side, there was an extra majestic big wolf dog, squatting in front of the five people, staring at each other, with a "come here and try" attitude.

Wu Sheng was stunned, this is not his armor.

The same goes for Xu Wang, Kuang Jinxin, and Qian Ai. When reciting tactics, the stationery list is already well-known.
