Nan Lu burst into tears again, her eyes were swollen and red, and Qi Leren was completely helpless, and looked to Dr. Lu for help, but he was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly to imply that he was a single dog who really had no experience in comforting girls. The two of them watched the girl cry at a loss, and for a long time they choked out a sentence: "Don't cry..."
Nan Lu, who had been crying for ten minutes, wiped her face with her sleeve and asked quietly, "Am I really not as good as Luo Xueyi? Why does everyone like her and dislike me? What's wrong with me?"
Dr. Lu coughed dryly: "Nothing, Nan Lu, you are fine, it was Xiao Hong who was blind. But what happened?"
Nan Lu sniffed, looked at her toes in frustration, and opened the chat box after a long while: "... After we separated from you, Xiao Hong and I walked back, and soon the bell rang, and we returned to this burning place. In the old castle, Xiao Hong said that he seemed to have heard Luo Xueyi's voice and wanted to go to the second floor, but I didn't agree... We had a fight. In fact, after so long, I could see that he was interested in Luo Xueyi, In this regard, a woman's intuition is very sharp, not to mention that he has already shown it clearly. I think Luo Xueyi also knows it. She has always been like this, expressing hints to other people's boyfriends, and fascinated these people. Ha ha… "
"Cough, what about after you guys quarreled? Did you go to Luo Xueyi?" Qi Leren interrupted Nan Lu's increasingly biased topic. Dr. Lu, who listened to the gossip about the relationship between men and women, gave him a resentful look. Slightly sorry that the gossip was interrupted.
"We quarreled, and every time I compromised... I promised to find Luo Xueyi, but on the stairs I saw Luo Xueyi running down, a... a skeleton... chasing after her, she kept screaming, begging us Help, Xiao Hong ran over to save her. I don't know why the skeleton was chasing after me. I was terrified and fell down the stairs. As soon as I looked up, I saw him pulling Luo Xueyi and running away. He left me here. , ran away... I saw Luo Xueyi looking back at me, that look... Ha, she did it on purpose, she wasn't that scared at all!" Nan Lu's voice was distorted, she couldn't tell whether she was sad or resentful , or the unbearable pain, she said bitterly: "If you let me see that bitch..."
Dr. Lu comforted Nan Lu: "Go back and turn your boyfriend into an ex-boyfriend, and then settle the account with them. If you have a girlfriend and hook up with him, you can't have this kind of man, right, Qi Leren?"
Nan Lu wiped her tears and said enviously, "You and Qi Leren have such a good relationship..."
Both Qi Le and Dr. Lu looked like they stepped on shit.
"What about the skeleton that came after?" Doctor Lu asked curiously.
Nan Lu stretched out her red and scratched hand and muttered, "I broke down the stair railing and discounted it..."
Dr. Lu looked at her in horror, and whispered in Qi Leren's ear: "Losing love will increase the girl's fighting power? Xue Yingying too!"
Qi Leren's mouth twitched, the skeletons here really have no fighting power, and only a rookie like Dr. Lu can't beat them.
After some talk, Nan Lu's mood stabilized a lot, and finally remembered that she was still in a dangerous place: "Then what should we do now?"
Qi Leren briefly explained the matter, and then said: "It's 2:40 now, and we will be sent back to the inner world where there is no fire in 20 minutes. Switching isn't pointless, there must be some clues that must be found in two different worlds, like keys."
Dr. Lu cooperated with the brass key and shook it for a while, then continued: "I found the key on the first floor, I guess the key on the second floor can also be found in the outer world, and if you take it to the inner world, you will be able to open the inner world two. It's the door of the building, probably that's the logic."
Qi Leren nodded: "And there is Nina - the place where we separated before, we opened the door and saw an N... ghost."
Qi Leren almost said the word NPC, and felt it was inappropriate and swallowed it back: "She should only haunt in the inner world, you see, the monsters we encountered in the outer world have either rotted into skeletons, or are There is a difference between a dog that was burned beyond recognition, and a monster in the inner world that is a walking armor, or simply a ghost."
Nan Lu nodded stunned: "After talking so much, what are we going to do?"
"Uh... The ultimate goal is to leave the castle." Qi Leren said.
Nan Lu had a look of "Aren't you talking nonsense".
"If you want to leave the castle, you have to solve the mystery of the fire. From the current clues, it should have something to do with the crazy hostess. Maybe we need to solve the crazy hostess... Speaking of this, Nina has said that she Where are you locked up after going crazy?" Qi Leren asked about Dr. Lu.
Dr. Lu shook his head: "I didn't say it, only said that she had escaped from the castle, so she nailed all the windows."
"Let's go to Nina to ask after returning to the inner world. I also have something to ask her... I hope the armor is no longer there, otherwise we have to solve it first." Qi Leren had a headache. He got up, "There are also those doors that can't be opened, and it will take 20 minutes to enter the inner world. Let's find a way to find the key first."
"I've searched all over the first floor, why don't we go to the second floor?" Dr. Lu suggested.
Qi Leren hesitated and reminded: "There is a hound on the second floor that was burned to death. It is very powerful, so be careful."
Dr. Lu patted him on the shoulder: "Ou Huang never cares about this kind of problem, you should take care of yourself."
Qi Leren: "..."
Nan Lu: "???"
After some discussion, the three of them went to the second floor. Walking on the decaying curved staircase, Qi Leren looked at the portrait subconsciously. On the wall, Qi Leren stared at it for a while, still insisting that it was not his illusion that there was blood on the portrait of Li World.
"What are you looking at? Go away." Dr. Lu urged.
Qi Leren looked at the frame and asked, "Do you think she is really crazy?"
Dr. Lu touched his chin: "I can't be sure, but Nina's words don't sound like a big problem at the moment. Let's just pretend she's crazy. Normal people can't do things like set fire to an old castle and kill a family."
The afterimage in the studio reappeared in my mind. She looked so happy at that time. Qi Leren asked in a low voice, "Is it really her who set fire to the castle?"
"What? What are you suspecting?" Dr. Lu was puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just that when it comes to things like demon beliefs, I'm a little nervous." Qi Leren smiled and turned to follow in the footsteps of the two.
Nan Lu, who was standing above the stairs, was immersed in the darkness, and she asked quietly, "Have you heard the opera "Don Juan"?' By my side, then I will brutally kill him and tear his heart apart.' Wouldn't it make sense if she was also betrayed by her lover and destroyed everything in desperation?"
Dr. Lu laughed dryly, and desperately used his eyes to sound the alarm to Qi Leren, squeezing his eyes to the point of cramping: No, this girl is going to be dark!
At this time, how to comfort a girl who is emotionally unstable after a breakup? Qi Leren was very worried. He really didn't have this experience. When he broke up in love... uh, well, he was also very broken.
"Forget it, what are you talking about? Let's go." Nan Lu laughed at herself and continued to walk up the stairs.
Qi Le and Doctor Lu looked at each other, and both saw helplessness on each other's faces.
The second floor of the outer world is more dilapidated than the inner world. People from Qi Le have already been here once and have lingering fears about the elusive hound in the piano room, so they asked Dr. Lu: "Based on your intuition, what do you think about that dog? Are you still there?"
Dr. Lu rolled his eyes: "What intuition is required, according to the horror game routine, this kind of wandering little boss will basically not stay in the same place, it must be where the bad luck will go, you follow me now, rest assured and bold Go forward."
Qi Leren, who was speechless, felt at ease for a while. Probably under the shroud of Ou Huang's Ouguang, the non-qi in the Africans was temporarily dispelled.
The three of them came to the piano room, and Qi Leren walked in first. Before entering, he had already prepared himself mentally. If he saw this terrifying hound again, he would definitely jump into the hole he opened before and go back to the studio without hesitation. , even at the risk of breaking his leg, but fortunately, this time the hound is really gone.
It was still raining heavily outside the window, with lightning and thunder. Dr. Lu and Nan Lu searched in the piano room. Qi Leren was in charge of the door. Soon Dr. Lu called out in a low voice, "Look, a bunch of keys!"
Nan Lu, who was rummaging through the drawer, raised her head and bumped her arm against the gramophone in the cabinet. She screamed in pain and covered her aching arm. Qi Leren walked up to her and asked, "Are you alright?"
Nan Lu bit his lip and shook his head. Qi Leren suddenly felt a needle-like pain in the back of his neck, and the Seed of Slaughter seemed to be about to move. He looked around alertly, everything was normal.
what happened? Qi Leren glanced at the phonograph on the cabinet. This ancient device had been damaged in the fire. Only the metal horn was still intact. He looked at it for a while, and some intuition suggested to him that this thing was unusual. .
"How do you say?" Dr. Lu also came over, illuminating the gramophone with a flashlight, and dangling a bunch of keys he just found in one hand.
"Let's take a look." Qi Leren picked up the cumbersome phonograph and checked it out, and soon found a hidden box at the bottom. After he found a way to open the hidden box, as expected, the system prompt appeared again: [Get the devil's Offerings 2/6].
It is still the same iron box, and the rusted lines are full of religious meaning, but it makes people feel evil.
Dr. Lu checked it with gloves on, opened the box, and found a tooth inside.
"It seems to be the same thing, but I don't know what it is." Dr. Lu mumbled, because Nan Lu was present, he didn't say much, "Let me here together?"
"Alright." Qi Leren can't have more contact with this demonic item, which will affect the Seed of Killing.
Dr. Lu shoved things into his backpack and glanced at Nan Lu. She had no special reaction to the sudden disappearance of the iron box. She didn't know if it was a problem with the NPC's settings or some other reason. She just asked with a look of disgust: "What is this? You still have this stuff?"
"I found one before, but I don't know what it does." Qi Leren said casually, not willing to reveal too much.
A pleasant piano sound suddenly came from behind, and the three people who were talking froze together. Qi Leren reacted the fastest, it was a phantom!
Sure enough, there was a faint light around the piano, just like when she was in the studio. The lady sitting by the piano played the piano with a blank face. Gradually, the music became faster and faster. Intense, in the end it turned out to be like crazy, the whole hand slammed on the piano, making a harsh loud noise, overlapping with the thunder rolling down from the window.
She laughed, just giggling at first, then more and more crazy, more and more harsh, hysterical laughter accompanied by her heart-rending cough and finally turned into crying, she lay on the piano, crying bitterly runny nose. Compared with the frantic laughter, her cry was so subdued and suppressed, like the sound of the collapse after a lot of patience faded away in this thunderstorm night, and finally disappeared together with her phantom.
"She's crazy..." Nan Lu said in a dreamy voice.
It seems really crazy, Qi Leren said in his heart.
There was thunder outside the window, and lightning illuminated the entire piano room. In the dazzling light, Qi Leren saw the collar of the hound on the piano, and the flashlight he put down to pick up the collar when he was holding a dagger in his hand. It lay quietly on the piano, like an ordinary object, hidden in the darkness until it was illuminated by lightning.
At this time, Qi Leren suddenly remembered...
The flashlight should have been on when he fell into the studio.
