"Everyone has a basement full of darkness in their hearts. They lock the bad past into the basement room. Sometimes they open the door to let the sunshine in, and sometimes they want to let the real people Walk in. However...”
When Chu Tianshu came back from the door, the handsome young man was sitting on the sofa watching a movie.
He circled his pillow, staring at the screen with dark eyes without blinking.
Chu Tianshu shook off the cold air from the coat, and hung it on the hook by the door. He took a can of Coke from the refrigerator and squeezed to Lin Huai's side: "Watching a movie?"
"Yeah." Lin Huai pressed the pause button, and the screen on the TV stayed on the tearful eyes of the blond hero, "Crime movie, called the genius Ripley, have you watched it?"
"No." Chutian Shula opened the can, "What are you talking about?"
"A person wanted to walk into another person's basement." Lin Huai pressed the play button, "Then he was strangled to death."
Chu Tianshu: ...
He sprayed Coke all over his body and coughed loudly. Lin Huai stared blankly at the male protagonist sitting alone in the dark on the TV screen: "For some people, the darkness in their hearts is untouchable. This story tells us..."
He yawned: "Don't break into other people's houses illegally."
Chu Tianshu: ...
"Let's talk about something more relaxed and pleasant." Chu Tianshu handed another can of Coke to Lin Huai, "For example, your copy tomorrow morning? What is it called?"
"Four beauties among flowers." Lin Huai said, "Uh... The task prompt is to assist the examiner to complete the pictures of plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum."
"Four beauties among flowers? That is, plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum?" Chu Tianshu wiped off the Coke on his body, "Sounds like a painting task."
He couldn't help showing a gloating smile: "Hahaha, you're done."
Lin Huai, whose painting level is like that of a primary school student: …
"Do you want to die?" He smiled kindly.
The two fought each other in a pure sense on the sofa for a while. The credits and credits of the movie on the TV were also played to the end, leaving only a black screen. Chu Tianshu raised his hands to block the pillow that hit his face. He looked at the clock: "It's twelve o'clock, shall we go to bed early?"
Lin Huai: "Oh."
He put down the pillow and let out a long yawn. With the gradual integration of body and soul, he is now more and more like a person in reality.
"I will enter the dungeon with you tomorrow?" Chu Tianshu held his arm pitifully, "I don't want to experience the pain of long-distance relationship anymore..."
"Tsk, okay." Lin Huai warned him in advance, "Don't touch me in the dungeon."
"Of course I know the priorities..." Chu Tian said easily.
Lin Huai nodded in satisfaction, and Chu Tianshu went on to say, "Of course it's a heavier and urgent penalty for you..."
Lin Huai: ...
"Okay, okay, follow all your instructions!" Chu Tianshu gave him a silly salute.
The night before entering the dungeon ended like this. They lay side by side on the bed, ready to fall asleep.
Lin Huai suddenly turned his body to Chu Tianshu's side.
"Are you going to strangle me?" he asked softly.
"?" Chu Tianshu also turned to him.
"Are you going to strangle me?" he asked relentlessly.
Chu Tianshu stared at him for a while, then suddenly coughed lightly: "Don't you all need... to set the security word in advance?"
Lin Huai: ...
Chu Tianshu: "You can try it next time. What safe word do you want? Hit Varudo?"
"...you." Lin Huai showed contempt in his eyes, "Why is your head full of yellow waste."
He turned away and ignored him. Chu Tianshu then hugged him from behind, straddled his waist with both hands, and pressed on his abdomen: "I thought you wanted to play choking play..."
Lin Huai: ... What a tiger-wolf word.
"It's not impossible to try." Lin Huai said with eyes closed, "Sleep now, don't touch me."
Chu Tianshu: "Oh."
He fell asleep in his arms. Chu Tianshu also put his chin on his shoulder and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, they punctually sat in the living room holding hands.
A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and when Lin Huai woke up again, the first thing he felt was the sound of water and the cool wind.
He opened his eyes and realized that he was lying in an ancient study. The study seemed to be transformed from a pavilion in the center of the lake, with windows on three sides, and the lake wind came in and blew on his face.
Chu Tianshu woke up earlier than him and was looking around in the study. Seeing that Lin Huai was awake, he pulled him up.
At the same time as they entered the game, there were also white-collar women, skinny men, mixed-race men, college student men, doctor women, elite men, and high school girl students. Lying on the wooden floor, they opened their eyes one by one as time passed.
Before all the players were awake, Lin Huai checked the layout of the study. The layout of the study room can be called simple and elegant. Apart from the tables, chairs and bookshelves, the most eye-catching thing is the painting scrolls hanging around.
Most of these scrolls are flowers, plants, insects, birds, landscapes and people, as if they were written by different masters. There are no curtains in the study, so the scrolls seem to have taken the place of the curtains. They are hung around and sway gently with the lake breeze.
These layouts all show that the owner of the room is a person with extremely elegant tastes. However, what attracted Lin Huai the most were the four blank scrolls hanging on the interior wall.
These four scrolls are huge, each one person tall and one person wide. There is a wooden table in front of the wall, on which there is a paperweight made of jade, which seems to be pressing something.
Just as Lin Huai was about to step forward, he heard the players behind him wake up.
"Where is this place?"
It was the skinny man who started running around first. He opened the scroll, looked out the window, and sighed, "Is there a lake all around? Are we in the pavilion in the middle of the lake?"
"There are four boats over there." The cold-tempered mixed-race man folded his arms and said, "It should be a means of transportation."
"You still need to say such an obvious thing?"
The elite man who was also looking at the window sneered. They seem to know each other, and they have long had a rift with each other. The male college student saw Chu Tianshu who was holding the letter paper sharply: "Hey, you, what did you write on the paper?"
"It's a letter." Chu Tianshu turned to Lin Huai, "A letter written to us by the owner of the Huxin Pavilion."
Lin Huai leaned over to look.
The handwriting on the letter is beautiful and graceful, like a silver hook and iron painting.
Chu Tianshu read the whole letter patiently, and said to everyone: "This letter is written by the owner of the Huxin Pavilion. He claims to like to collect famous paintings from all over the world. This time, everyone is invited to help him collect four paintings." Paintings. These four paintings are from the hands of four peerless beauties, and they depict plums, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums."
"Four paintings?"
The skinny man snatched the letter paper. After reading it for a long time, he grinned with yellow teeth and began to curse: "Mom, it's all classical Chinese, I can't understand it!"
The elite man and the mixed-race man stretched out their hands at the same time: "Show me—"
After realizing that they bumped into each other, the elite man made a "please" gesture.
The half-breed man rolled his eyes. He picked up the paper and read it carefully: "The letter said that the four paintings are hidden in four villas. They are plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, and they can be reached by four small boats next to the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Carrying three people, after obtaining the famous painting, you need to take a boat back to the Huxin Pavilion, and then go to the next place. No one is allowed to stay in the Huxin Pavilion for more than three incense sticks—"
Everyone looked at the incense burner on the desk, and one of the three incense sticks was already burning.
"No stay? This is to break us up to carry out the mission." The elite man thought for a while, "We have... one, two, three... nine people in total."
"Nine people? Then two people in each villa, and three people in one villa, just right." The skinny man said.
The examiner's setup was to disperse and disrupt the crowd. If it weren't for Chu Tianshu's accidental joining, the eight players should have been divided into groups of two to carry out the same task. Therefore, no one objected to what he said. The mixed-race man continued: "Meizhuang is in the north, Lanzhuang is in the east, Zhuzhuang is in the south, and Juzhuang is in the west. In this case, we can divide ourselves into four groups, okay?"
"Okay." Chu Tianshu held Lin Huai's shoulders, "I'll be with him."
Among the remaining seven people, the mixed-race man frowned and looked at everyone, as if he wanted to approach the high school girl, but the elite man stretched out his hand to him: "Our group?"
The mixed-race man rolled his eyes: "What's wrong with you?"
"Although we hate each other, I believe in your strength." The elite man shrugged, "Aren't you?"
The mixed-race man glared at him, and said to the female white-collar worker, "We're in the same group."
Seeing his refusal, the elite man also turned to the doctor woman: "Together?"
After them, college boys and high school girls also formed a team. The skinny man with a mouth full of shit turned out to be the only one who was pulled down. He rolled his eyes, and looked flatteringly at Chu Lin's team, which seemed to be the most powerful: "Two brothers, take me one?"
"Don't ask me, you ask him." Chu Tianshu said lazily.
Lin Huai was thrown a pot abruptly. He thought for a while and said, "Are you courageous?"
"Big, of course big." The skinny man promised, "Who wouldn't be brave enough to reach the intermediate level?"
"That's fine." Lin Huai said, "I'm afraid I'll scare you."
"Hey, this is why you're belittling my old Liu. My old Liu can't do anything, but he's full of guts!"
The skinny man was happy, and so was Lin Huai. Chu Tianshu saw that his eyes were narrowed, and when no one was paying attention, he secretly bit his ear and said, "What you want to say is 'I'm afraid I'll scare you'?"
Lin Huai: "Hey, how do you know?"
He paused, and then said: "However, this is the first time that the owner of the Huxin Pavilion has not come out to explain the task."
"Artists are a little bit far away from the temper of ordinary people." Chu Tianshu shrugged.
Now that the four teams were formed, everyone left the Huxin Pavilion separately. After stepping into the painting boat on the side of the pavilion, the system's notification sound also sounded in everyone's ears:
"Dungeon: Four beauties in the flower, opened."
"Assist the examiner to complete the collection of four famous paintings. Four paintings drawn by four beauties were found in the four villas. They are plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum."
"Before completing the collection task of each painting in each villa, players are not allowed to leave the island where the villa is located by boat. Violators will be directly obliterated."
"Before entering a villa, players will get a note with clues to find the paintings. After all four paintings are collected, the dungeon mission ends."
"Now, players are asked to take a boat to each villa. The cruise ship will drive automatically, and there is no need for players to row their own paddles."
The author has something to say: The Genius Ripley is my favorite movie. I recommend everyone to watch it. It’s very zhiyu. After watching it, you will be moved (?) to tears
Finally my (currently) favorite dungeon!
