Qi Leren was sobered up by the rain. It was raining all around, and two couples were huddled under the tree. One of the long-haired girls complained tenderly, "Why is it raining suddenly? The weather forecast said it was sunny. ."

Her boyfriend hugged her shoulders to comfort her, but she couldn't smooth out her unwillingness. She kept complaining: "What about the once-in-a-hundred-year meteor shower, if I had known that I would not be here! My clothes are all soaked. I'm wet, what should I do if I catch a cold? People are not in good health and can't get wet in the rain."

"Luo Xueyi, you were the one who said you were coming. Now it's raining and there's nothing you can do. Let's go, go down the mountain and go home." Another girl with short hair said impatiently, holding her boyfriend's arm and going down the mountain.

The long-haired girl named Luo Xueyi pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "You can't blame me, I didn't know it would rain, and besides, you and Xiao Hong also agreed to come. Look at how romantic the meteor shower is, who knew it would rain... "

"The rain is getting heavier and the mountain roads are slippery and slippery, so it's not safe. We should take shelter nearby and wait for the rain to lighten." Xiao Hong, the short-haired girl's boyfriend, stopped her from leaving.

"What should I do if it gets bigger and bigger? Besides, there is no place to hide from the rain. The trees won't be able to stop the rain in a while!" said the short-haired girl irritably.

"Oh, Nan Lu is just impatient. I think the rain will stop after a while. As for the place to shelter from the rain, well, hide from the eaves of the old castle." Fort said.

There is no doubt that several NPCs in front of them are dying. Qi Leren decided to persuade him with the idea of saving lives. It is inevitable for him and Dr. Lu to enter the castle, but there is no need to send these NPCs. The head is dead: "The place has been in disrepair for a long time, and I don't know if it is safe. Lu Cangshu and I will go over and take a look first."

Dr. Lu on the side sighed softly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "According to the nature of horror movies, you can't stop you from killing with a punch."

Sure enough, Luo Xueyi said coquettishly, "How can it be unsafe, don't say you believe in that kind of rumors, isn't it just an old castle, could there be a ghost running out suddenly?" She also giggled, He seemed to be amused by his own words.

"Obviously, this Luo Xueyi is playing a classic horror movie character with a big chest, no brains, love for death, and a bitch personality. It's really expressive." Dr. Lu complained.

Unexpectedly, she also added a sentence: "I know you and Lu Xuedi are like glue, but today we will be the light bulb, hehe."

At this moment, both Qi Le and Dr. Lu were in the same mood: WTF? !

"Now I know why three couples are mentioned in the background of the mission." Dr. Lu said in a cold sweat, "It turns out that this copy is still very politically correct, and there is also a pair of gays in the BG, but this kind of masquerading as gay couples is not acceptable. I have to firmly reject it."

Qi Leren gave him a sidelong glance: "You, Schrödinger's straight man, have nothing to refuse. Only straight people like me should protest."

"No, I'm okay with playing gay, but I don't want to get along with you." Dr. Lu said seriously.

"Why?" Qi Leren felt as if he had been rejected.

"Because you are taller than me, being with you makes me feel like that..." Dr. Lu looked solemn.

"Which one?" Qi Leren asked.

"The one who needs frequent finger checks, looking at the health of a certain place."

"...You know a lot." Qi Leren was ashamed.

"Stop whispering, keep up." While the two were discussing in a low voice, Luo Xueyi had already greeted them to come forward quickly, and the two had to keep up, facing the heavy rain to the eaves of the ancient castle not far away.

The old castle is indeed very old, and it does not look particularly tall, exuding the breath of old history in the night.

The two couples were still whispering, and Qi Leren looked at the four NPCs calmly.

The quest of Castle Horror is a dungeon quest. After he and Dr. Lu were ready, he started the quest and came to the dungeon world. Almost every dungeon world is a parallel world, and the areas are also large and small. Qi Leren suspects that the area of this dungeon is also The mountain is so big, if he doesn't care about going down the mountain now, he will probably be forcibly repatriated by the system.

The NPCs come with this dungeon, and they have different opinions on the NPC players in the dungeon quest. Some people treat them like real humans, while others completely ignore this group of NPCs, and there are even those who maliciously kill NPCs. Players exist. In general, NPCs do not affect the player's ability to play the most basic ending. Even if he kills all four NPCs now, there is no problem in reaching the simplest ending. But there are also some tasks. If you want to dig out the so-called true ending, you may also need the help of NPCs.

Qi Leren naturally did not have the perverted hobby of slaughtering NPCs. He was observing these four NPCs.

Luo Xueyi and Miao Bo are a couple. Miao Bo is obedient to Luo Xueyi, and is a model of a loyal dog boyfriend. Nan Lu, a girl with short hair, seems to have special feelings for Luo Xueyi, and her boyfriend Xiao Hong seems to have a subtle aura between girls. I don't know.

It shouldn't be an important role, Qi Le thought. He glanced at the time, it was 0:55 in the morning, it was almost one o'clock, and there was not much time left for their tasks. If it was dawn at 6 o'clock, they would only have five hours.

"This door doesn't seem to be locked, is it locked inside?" Luo Xueyi said while pushing a door that looked very sturdy.

With a creak, the wooden door was pushed open halfway, revealing a dark space.

Luo Xueyi's scream almost broke the eardrums of several people, Nan Lu covered her ears and said angrily, "What is it called, it's scary!"

Luo Xueyi shrank in Miao Bo's arms and cried, "The door is open, the door is open!"

"It's open as long as we don't go in." Miao Bo patted her on the back and comforted.

Xiao Hong took a peek at Luo Xueyi and agreed, "Yeah, we'll leave when the rain lightens, we won't go in."

Dr. Lu pouted and whispered to Qi Leren, "Believe it or not, an accident is about to happen soon."

"… letter."

Sure enough, a wolf howl suddenly came from the dark mountain forest. The terrifying howl pierced the rainy night, and also pierced the psychological defense line of several people. Luo Xueyi screamed again: "Ah, ah, there are wolves!"

"Don't bark, what should I do if the wolf is attracted?!" Nan Lu panicked too, holding Xiao Hong's arm trembling, Xiao Hong was panicked by her, and tried to pull out his arm, but was unsuccessful.

"How can there be wolves here? It's impossible." Miao Bo questioned in horror as Luo Xueyi held him.

This place is not too far from the city. I have never heard of anyone seeing a wild wolf, but the howl of the wolf getting closer and closer still made a few young people panic. The wild wolves that are just a short distance away are more dangerous - Qi Le people who have killed wolves have reservations about this - a few people did not struggle for a long time and chose to escape into the ancient castle.

Still have to go in. Qi Leren sighed in his heart, and dragged the reluctant Doctor Lu into the castle.

The stale breath rushed towards his face, and the wooden door was closed. Miao Bo suggested to find something like a table to block the door to prevent wolves from entering, and the others did not object. The range that the flashlight can illuminate is very limited, the surroundings are still dark, and there are traces of smoke and fire on the wall, which looks like a fire has indeed occurred.

"How did this ancient castle burn down?" Qi Leren took the time to inquire before the mission entered the dangerous stage.

Nan Lu took Xiao Hong's arm and said gloomily: "I heard that the lady who lived in this castle discovered her husband's infidelity and killed the entire castle in a rage. A castle is on fire. You see, there are burn marks everywhere now."

Luo Xueyi, who had calmed down, laughed and said, "It's just a legend. I think it's probably just a fire at night that destroyed the ancient castle. It's been spread over time."

"Yeah Xiaolu, don't listen to such rumors." Nan Lu's boyfriend Xiao Hong also said.

Nan Lu sneered and said nothing.

Qi Le people's flashlight lit it nearby. The hall that entered the door is hundreds of square meters, and its height is far higher than that of an ordinary building. The ceiling lights hanging on it are still gorgeous even after decades, but unfortunately they can no longer be lit. get up. Going forward is two curved stairs on the left and right, which together lead to the second floor. Frames are faintly visible on the walls next to the stairs, but unfortunately the paintings on them have been burnt.

"Ren Qi Le, where are you going? Maybe the floor of the stairs is burnt out. You'd better not walk around." Nan Lu saw Qi Le Ren walking towards the stairs and called him back.

The Qi Le people then backed away and followed them to the side corridor, preparing to find something like tables and chairs to block the door.

There was a sudden burst of dazzling light in front of them. Qi Leren walked at the end of the team, and suddenly saw the fire coming from the depths of the corridor, rushing towards them like waves!

what happened? Why is there a sudden fire? !

The few people in front had already screamed and ran towards the gate. Qi Leren turned around and ran after a beat. Fortunately, the fire was not very fast, but it was too bright and dazzling, almost making people unable to open their eyes.

"The door is gone!" Luo Xueyi's cry was full of panic, and several people anxiously slapped the wall that was supposed to be the door. The fear of unnatural things suddenly washed away people's sanity. The fire was about to drive several young people crazy.

"when-"

A distant bell came from the direction of the curved staircase. It was one o'clock in the morning.

The flame disappeared in the bell, and everything illuminated by the fire returned to the darkness, and only a few people's flashlights illuminated a small patch of darkness.

But even so, several people quickly discovered the anomaly.

Nan Lu's voice was trembling, and she murmured dreamily, "The burn marks are gone..."

The entire castle seems to have returned to the past in the bell.
