"When-when-when-"
The distant bell sounded, and fear drowned Qi Leren like a tide. He didn't even have time to tell the two partners that he had already returned to the inner world.
Three in the morning.
Dr. Lu's flashlight was still on, and Qi Leren was looking at the piano, the dog collar and his flashlight were no longer on it.
Qi Leren took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment whether to tell Dr. Lu about this, and finally decided to say it. In case of scattered actions in the world later, this can also make Dr. Lu and Nan Lu more vigilant: "I saw the flashlight on the piano just now. I remember that when I fell from here to the studio on the next floor, the flashlight was on, but just now I suddenly remembered that the flashlight had been turned off. "
"Huh? Ah? What the hell!" Dr. Lu used three interjections in a row, "Are you sure? It's not the power outage, right?"
"I'm pretty sure I fell out of the studio and couldn't move, I just lay flat and looked over my head when the hound looked down at me from the hole, and it was the light of my flashlight that illuminated it. And here I am The front flashlight is fully charged, it is impossible to run out of power so soon." Qi Leren said firmly.
"But the dog won't turn off the flashlight." Nan Lu murmured.
"Dogs will not, but 'people' will." Qi Leren said.
Nan Lu's eyes narrowed: "You mean Xiao Hong and that bitch have been here before?"
"..." Qi Leren was silent for a few seconds, "This is a possibility, but they don't need to turn off the flashlight. They are more likely to take this kind of useful thing directly."
The voice sank in the bright moonlight of the inner world. In the brand new piano room, the three of them didn't speak again. The same kind of image lingered in their minds, and the figure made of fear entered the piano room from the dark corridor, silently turning off the flashlight that illuminated the darkness...
"No matter what it is, we can at least be sure that it is an intelligent creature. It knows what it is and how to turn it off. Maybe it hates light..." Qi Leren whispered.
"Intelligent creatures... Then it's troublesome. We broke into its territory. Maybe now it's watching us thinking about how to kill it all in one go." Dr. Lu said horribly.
Nan Lu shuddered: "Stop talking!"
"Don't worry, let's find out where the switch is first." Dr. Lu lit a flashlight on the wall at the door, and quickly found the switch. The chandelier in the piano room turned on, and the light returned immediately, whether it was Nan Lu or Qi Le. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"The inner world is quite friendly." Dr. Lu praised.
Nan Lu said coldly, "Have you forgotten about Miao Bo, who is dead?"
Although the inner world seems calm and peaceful, there are hidden murderous intentions everywhere.
"Let's go, let's go to Nina first and then come back to search the room. I have a lot of things to ask her. I hope I won't encounter that walking armor this time." Qi Leren said. This time, he is not too afraid. The one-hour cooldown of SL skills has passed. If they encounter it again, it will be a big deal. He just doesn't know how to explain it to Nan Lu, and he doesn't know how special NPCs are to them. What will be the reaction...
The three walked to the first floor, the lights were brightly lit along the way, but in the bright lights, the surroundings were so silent, people couldn't help observing everything around them, but they were afraid of finding any ominous omens from the ordinary. The ambivalence makes everyone nervous.
"Wait for me here, I'll go take a look first." When they reached the entrance of the corridor on the first floor, Qi Leren said to the two of them, and then walked into the corridor alone.
The lights were on, illuminating the sculptures and paintings on both sides of the corridor. The potted plants seemed to have been carefully taken care of and were lush and green. At the end of the corridor was a semi-open room similar to the piano room on the second floor. Miao Bo's body was still there. Lying on the ground, the armor that was suspected to be the murderer has disappeared.
Qi Leren found the switch on the wall and turned on the light in this room. The hidden door of the small room was damaged after being knocked open by the armor, but it seemed to be closed. I don't know if Nina is still there. . He took a few steps to the door and asked in a low voice, "Nina, are you there?"
A soft answer came from the door: "I'm... Is it gone?"
"Already gone. I have a few things to ask you, can I come in?" said Qi Leren.
"No! Don't come in! Don't open the door! If it comes back... I... I'm scared." Nina's voice was so high that there were cracks in her hurried voice.
"But the door lock should have been broken." Qi Leren said looking at the door lock that had been loosened. Although this door can also be locked from the inside, the previous armor had broken the door lock when it forcibly broke the door. Yes, but the lock on the outside seems to be able to lock the door from the outside to the inside.
"No no! Don't open the door! Please! The door is open, it will come in!" Nina's anxious voice contained a faint cry, and she seemed to be extremely frightened.
"...Okay, wait, I'll call some friends." Qi Leren compromised and turned around to call Dr. Lu and Nan Lu.
Stepping into this room again, Nan Lu still didn't dare to look at Miao Bo's corpse. The dead companion was lying there, which inevitably reminded her of her own safety. She resisted the fear and stood far away from the corpse, silently. Urging Qi Leren to hurry up with his eyes.
"I have to ask you a few things. Let's start with Mrs. Has she ever been pregnant? Where's the child?" Qi Leren asked bluntly.
Nina behind the door was silent for a moment, and seemed unwilling to talk about it, and asked instead, "Why ask this?"
"Because it's very important, please tell us." Qi Leren said firmly.
"Okay... Madam did get pregnant, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage. After that, her spirit was very bad. Probably from that time, she gradually showed her genetic madness... In order to avoid irritating her, Mr. ordered us not to allow Speaking of this matter, but the lady's illness is getting worse and worse. Sometimes she feels that her child is still alive. She makes dolls and clothes for him (her), but when she is awake, she destroys these things again. . . . she's in so much pain." Nina's voice was filled with a lowly pity and an unconcealed fear.
It really makes sense, Qi Le thought.
"Hey, how did she miscarry? Spontaneous miscarriage? Accidental miscarriage?" Dr. Lu also stood by the door and asked.
“… She fell down the stairs and miscarried,” Nina said.
At this time, Nan Lu also joined in. She asked sharply and sharply: "Did she fall by herself? Or someone pushed her down? Is it just because she is crazy that she miscarried, murdered, and set fire?"
Both Dr. Lu and Qi Leren looked at Nan Lu, wondering if this lady's experience reminded her of herself, so she was extremely excited, even a little too extreme. Qi Leren vaguely felt that Nan Lu should also be a part of the plot, but before she did something that endangered them, he was still willing to help her... This kind of luck is dangerous, and he and Dr. Lu agree with this. Unannounced, but they did it anyway.
Nina in the door said in surprise: "If it wasn't because she was crazy, how could she do such a thing? She used to be a very gentle and quiet person! Even if she was crazy, she... It's not her. wrong!"
Nan Lu bit her lip unwillingly and didn't speak any more.
"I have another question. You said before that the lady's illness is getting worse and worse. She is locked up, so where is she locked up?" Qi Leren asked.
"… basement. She's locked in the basement," Nina replied.
Nan Lu said in disbelief: "You actually locked her in the basement?! My God... How can you do this? She's already in pain."
Nina murmured a few times and said softly: "It's what Mr. means, Mrs.'s madness is getting worse and needs to be isolated, so..."
Dr. Lu snorted lightly, with a little doubt, but did not speak.
"Where can I open the basement? Do I need a key?" Qi Leren asked again.
"The basement is in the kitchen at the end of the corridor on the other side of the hall. There is a secret compartment on the floor in the corner. When you open it, you will see a lock. The key is in the study of Mr. I think... Maybe Mrs. is full of resentful souls, still in Wandering in the basement... Please let her rest in peace, may the Lord bless her from suffering in this world, may she rest in the arms of the Lord, and let me... we rest in peace."
The mission is very clear here. As long as you get the key to the basement and enter the basement to destroy the undead of the Mad Lady, this mission can be over. This should be the easiest way to clear the level.
But... There are still many things in this mission that make him keep in mind, such as the sacrifice of the devil.
Want to ask? If I ask, will it be self-defeating and trigger the hidden plot to increase the difficulty
"Let's do this first? Find the basement key?" Dr. Lu asked, pulling Qi Leren's arm.
"About the sacrifice..." Qi Leren whispered and discussed with Dr. Lu.
Dr. Lu glared at him: "Do you want to die?"
"Just a little curious." Qi Leren defended.
"Young man, your thinking is very dangerous." Dr. Lu said earnestly, "If you know a little less, you will be safer. If you don't get to the bottom of it, you're going to find your own way of death. Walk around and find the key."
Qi Leren, who was pulled by Dr. Lu, did not hesitate any more, and left the room as he wanted. Before leaving, he looked back, the hidden door was tightly closed, and everything seemed normal.
