Infinite spooky game

Chapter 12 Rose Manor ([-]) A first look at the third floor and the corpse
Lin Chen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the guest room, anxiously looking down at what was going on in the garden.

He watched Qiss go to the iron gate and knocked on the ground, and said something to the butler who suddenly appeared, and then Miss Anna came out from the castle, and Qiss came forward to chat with a smile.

Lin Chen knew the time had come.Qi Si's link has been completed, and then it's up to him.

He trotted out of the guest room, went straight to the stairs, and climbed up the stairs quickly, climbing on the handrail.

It was only one floor high, but I stumbled many times because I was too nervous.

When he stood at the top of the third floor stairs, he was already panting and sweating.

The third floor is the same as the second floor, with only three rooms. The difference is that there is no clock in the corner.

Lin Chen listened to Qisi's analysis of the rules, so he began to count the seconds in his mind the moment he walked up the stairs. Naturally, he did not dare to stop easily at this time.

But... can counting seconds out of thin air really be accurate?
Lin Chen was not too convinced about this, but he had no other choice.

He clenched his fists, suppressed the useless doubts in his heart, and walked deeper into the floor step by step.

Maybe it was a visual error, but Lin Chen always felt that the layout of the third floor was narrower and longer than that of the second floor, giving him the illusion of being in a coffin.

As he went deeper, this feeling became stronger, and it seemed that this floor would never end no matter what.For a moment, he suspected that everything around him had stopped at a certain moment, and even the passage of time was just an illusion.

Lin Chen's palms were sweating, and he shook his head, trying to get the inexplicable thoughts out of his mind.

"Kiss has taken care of Miss Anna, how can I not even do such a simple thing?"

With this thought in mind, he turned and walked towards a room.

Looking at the thick layer of dust on the door, he gritted his teeth, held the copper doorknob with his hand, and pressed down tentatively.

It failed to turn and the door was locked.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to open an unknown door in a horror game at all. Even if he didn't open the door to kill, he might encounter something scary.

He followed the same example and turned the doorknobs of the remaining two doors.

All locked.

"It should be almost the same... Qisi just asked me to check the terrain..."

Lin Chen muttered quietly and carefully retreated towards the stairs.

When he was about to retreat to the side of the stairs, a soft female voice sounded behind his ears without warning: "Who are you?"

The voice was made very finely, as smooth as the Shuimoqiang in opera. It was clearly Miss Anna's voice!
Lin Chen felt that all the blood in his body had stopped flowing. He opened his mouth to shout, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.

Found out, finished, dying...

Memories of the past 20 years flashed through my mind like a revolving door before death.

Lin Chen's heart was beating wildly, and he stiffened and turned around slowly.

Standing at the top of the stairs was a little old lady wearing a red Lolita princess dress, with white hair hanging down her back. Her wrinkled face was covered with rotting scars, and bones were deeply visible in her lips and eye sockets.

This was obviously a strange and horrifying sight, but Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's not Miss Anna...

If Miss Anna doesn't discover it, there is still hope of living...

"Who are you?" the old woman asked in a sweet voice.The beautiful voice coupled with such a face reflects the full sense of contrast.

Lin Chen took a step back, and replied stammeringly, "I...my name is Lin Chen."

The old woman stared straight at him and asked again, "Then do you remember who I am?"

Lin Chen was stunned.

He remembered that when he and Qisi parted ways, after Qisi took a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something, stopped, turned around and said to him: "No matter which NPC you meet on the third floor, don't give him a specific name casually. "

At that time, he was puzzled and asked why.Qisi smiled coolly and motioned for him to look at the third rule on the system interface.

[3. Miss Anna likes guests and has no ill intentions towards them, but please remember that the correct title is "Miss Anna" and not anything else]

The young man smiled slightly and said: "In any case, since the rules mention the issue of address, you must try to avoid making mistakes in this aspect."

Lin Chen was stunned.

Had Qis expected this a long time ago?The boss is indeed a boss.

His thoughts subconsciously extended, recalling the memories related to Qi Si, including the speculation he wrote on the paper that "there may be two Miss Anna", the black and white words are more vivid than any information.

The identity of the ghost in front of him is ready to be revealed.

"Who am I?" The old woman stared at Lin Chen, and asked again word by word.

Lin Chen shuddered, swallowed his saliva, and said calmly: "You are Miss Anna..."

……

In the garden, Qi Si and Chang Xu both looked down at the corpse in the newly dug earth pit, and then looked at each other.

Chang Xu still held a shovel in his hand, so he was the one who dug the hole.

Qi Si had just seen Miss Anna off, and stopped by, and then saw this scene.

The body in the pit was covered in blood and flesh, but its face had been specially cleaned, and its appearance before birth could be barely seen.

He is a young man with a popular face.

The method of embalming is quite familiar. If Qi Si hadn't recalled it and found that he had no memory of this face, he would have suspected that he did it himself.

The corpse was wearing a white T-shirt that didn't match the age of the manor, with a big funny expression printed on it, a very trendy person, but it's a pity that it has now become a silent corpse buried in the ground of Rose Manor.

Chang Xu said: "It's the player. He died in the same way as Shen Ming. His blood was sucked dry by the rose."

Obvious conclusion.

Qisi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked casually: "Brother Chang, how do you know there is a corpse buried here?"

Chang Xu did not answer, but asked expressionlessly: "What did you and Miss Anna just say?"

This is undoubtedly an attitude: everyone has their own secrets, which are not allowed to be tested and touched by others.

Qi Si understood and showed a sincere smile: "I praised her for being good-looking, and asked her age by the way. You also know that many girls hate talking about age-related issues, and then she seemed a little angry, so she Leave me and go."

Chang Xu turned his head and looked into Qisi's eyes, probably trying to judge whether he was lying.

Qi Si did not dodge or evade, with a magnanimous expression.

The principle of deception is to cover up the original emotion and show the desired emotion.And apathy allows him to skip the first step directly, which is convenient and fast.

The silence lasted for two seconds. Chang Xu seemed to believe Qi Si's nonsense, stared down at the corpse in the pit, and explained: "One of my clues said that Miss Anna believes that death is the best nourishment for roses. I From this it is speculated that there is a body buried in the garden."

"The air in the manor is humid, but the vines on the outer wall of the castle are dead. There is a contradiction. I observed that the vines were cut off from the roots, and the soil below showed signs of loosening, so I decided to try digging."

Qisi didn't expect Chang Xu to be so honest and that he would actually explain things to him when asked.

Of course, he would not believe a word Chang Xu said before seeing real evidence.

"It's amazing." Chiss complimented perfunctorily. He squatted down in front of the pit, wrapped his fingers in a napkin, and poked the corpse's face.

He made a judgment: "Looking at the feel, the time of death does not exceed 72 hours. It seems that this dungeon is quite busy, and players are coming one after another."

Chang Xu raised his eyebrows: "You know a lot about corpses."

Qi Si's face remained unchanged: "Professionalism, spending time with corpses every day, I'm familiar with it even if I don't want to."

Chang Xu: "Animal corpses and human corpses should not be generalized."

Qi Si narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Humans are also animals, aren't they?"

What he said was taken for granted, clearly in a relaxed and casual tone, but it made people have no reason to think about the meaning behind it, and shuddered.

Chang Xu's voice suddenly turned cold: "Have you ever killed someone?"

"No, don't slander me." The young man with blood stains on his shirt stood up and looked at Chang Xu who looked suspicious with an innocent face, "You talk about 'killing' so easily, shouldn't you?" Have you ever killed someone?"

Chang Xu replied seriously: "Killed."

Qi Si smacked the meaning between the words, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you an armed policeman?"

"Absolutely." Chang Xu seemed to be hesitant, and after a moment of pause, he added, "The tasks assigned to me are basically to kill on the spot."

"Is this so?" Qisi's eyes were a little more thoughtful, and he was keenly aware that this was a point that could be exploited.

——People who are accustomed to performing killing missions can easily establish a conditioned reflex to kill.

Qisi's eyes were filled with a dark color, and he instantly thought of many ways to make the situation in this dungeon more complicated and confusing.

It would definitely be fun to have a character who symbolizes justice take the initiative to kill innocent people under the fear and imminent pressure of death.

The young man raised the corners of his lips, and when he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Ye Zi passing by from the corner of his eye.

The girl had stopped and was looking down into the pit with a frown, wondering what she was thinking.

It was not wise to continue the conversation on dangerous topics. A gentle and harmless smile appeared on Qiss's face again: "Anyway, comrade police, if you encounter any questions related to corpses in the future, you can ask me. Simply determine the way of death. I can still do the work at the time of death.”

Chang Xu stared silently, noncommittal.
