Infinite spooky game

Chapter 4 Rose Manor ([-]) New rules and groups
After Miss Anna left the table, the housekeeper appeared like a ghost at the right time, and said to the players: "Guests, it's getting late, let me arrange accommodation for you first."

He paused, and an uncomfortable fake smile appeared on his face: "Please forgive us for our negligence, it is really because it is not suitable to go out at night. When it dawns tomorrow morning, you can freely enjoy the roses you have been waiting for for a long time."

Qisi listened carefully, and his brain automatically extracted the key information.

First, "it is not suitable to go out at night", which is in line with the rules [do not leave the castle at night].

Second, these players came to the Rose Manor as "guests" to appreciate the roses. God knows what special attraction those roses that are extremely unfriendly to allergic rhinitis patients have.

Qisi's eyes scanned the four words "Beware of Roses" on the system interface, and he was slightly distracted.

There is a high probability that there is a crisis hidden in the rose, but the mechanism of action is unknown.

How can roses hurt people?
However, dying of roses is a bit romantic when you think about it.

There was a slight smile on Qi Si's face, and his eyes softened a little, as if there was a long-lost friend in the void in front of him, nodding and greeting.

Lin Chen turned his perspective and saw the change in his expression, and couldn't help but shudder.

Why do you feel that this old player is not mentally normal?

The housekeeper maintained the same frequency of pace, meticulously leading the way, leading everyone up the stairs.

The steps made of stones are uneven, with tiny plant roots growing in the gaps, or the steps were originally a whole piece of stone, but were forcibly torn apart by the roots.

For a moment, Keith saw that the stems and leaves seemed to move under his feet, condensing into a woman's face.But in a blink of an eye, everything returned to normal, and what I saw before seemed to be just an illusion.

He felt that this scene looked familiar for no reason, and even the entire castle seemed familiar to him.

But this was his first time entering a dungeon. How could such a place exist in reality?

Everyone reached the second floor of the castle.

This is a flat floor of about [-] square meters, the walls are mottled with dirty water marks, moss and ferns are crawling in the gaps, conveying a gloomy and depressing atmosphere.

Similar to the first floor, there is a huge mechanical clock in the corner, telling players the exact time all the time.

Time is really important in this copy.

There are only three rooms in the entire second floor.

The housekeeper untied the three keys from his waist, handed them to the leader Shen Ming, and said in a business-like tone: "Please try not to leave the room at night. Each room must accommodate two people, and only two people. Please keep them safe. A good key, it is very likely to save our lives at a critical moment."

Ye Zi frowned and expressed dissatisfaction: "You are such a big castle, can't you reserve a few more rooms? We don't know each other well, so it might not be appropriate for the two of us to share a room?"

She was obviously trying to get more information out of the butler.

The housekeeper said with a smile: "There are only three rooms, we only have three rooms."

He murmured the word "three rooms" in a very low and terrifying voice.

The atmosphere became a little weird for a moment, and Ye Zi shut up knowingly.

As early as the conversation between the two, Qisi had taken in the entire layout of the second floor.

It is a pocket-shaped plane with three doors arranged at the bottom of the pocket, and there is only one staircase at the mouth of the pocket. Once the staircase is blocked, it is easy to be outflanked and closed to beat the dog.

Zeiss looked at the housekeeper, smiled politely and asked, "Sir, may I ask where the beautiful Miss Anna lives?"

The butler narrowed his eyes when he heard the word "beautiful" and seemed extremely satisfied. He considered it and said: "Miss Anna lives on the third floor... By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. Miss Anna doesn't like guests. We pry too much into her life. If she finds out that you went to the third floor, she will be very angry..."

So, is it okay if you don't get caught?

It seems that I have to go to the third floor.

Keith narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

At the same time, all players heard the system prompt.

[The progress of rule cracking has been updated]

[New rules have been refreshed]

Following the sound of the notification, new text suddenly appeared under the original eight rules on the system interface.

【9. Please try not to go to the third floor. If you go, don't be discovered by Miss Anna】

For a moment, the old players looked at Qisi with a little more consideration.

It's also a skill to be able to ask exactly the question that triggers a new rule, whether it's a mistake or not.

Qisi ignored the players' probing gazes. He read the refreshed text on the system interface over and over again, his thoughts racing through his mind and then settling down.

It turns out that breaking the rules is like this...

The total number of rules at the beginning is not always fixed, and entries will be added as exploration...

So what would happen if you didn't ask that question, didn't trigger the new rules, and just went to the third floor?
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qi Si didn't have the time to digest the information, so he continued to ask without changing his face, "Then Mr. Housekeeper, where do you live? If we need something, where can we find you?"

The butler turned his head, and his joints made a "click" sound of a rusty machine running.

He pointed to the ground with a smile and said, "I'm...underground."

underground?

There is no basement in the castle. The so-called underground can only be taken literally.

Hearing these words, except for Qi Si, everyone else's faces became strange, and Lin Chen's face was even more pale, as if he had seen a ghost in a horror movie.

The butler ignored the players. He walked straight to the stairs stiffly, and went downstairs step by step, like a pre-programmed puppet that could not be moved by the words of outsiders.

It wasn't until the butler's figure was completely hidden in the dark corner formed by the stairs and the wall that Shen Ming said in a shy voice, "What do you think of this new rule and the third floor?"

"Fortunately, Qisi asked in advance, otherwise someone would have to break this rule to get out of the water." Zou Yan smiled at Qisi, with a hint of approval.

She continued: "If we want to decipher the world view, we must go to the third floor to find more clues. If we just want to clear the dungeon, then there is no need to worry about the third floor, we just need to strictly abide by all the rules."

Lin Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Then let's just stay alive first and then think about the worldview when we have time."

No one raised any objections, and it was only the first day of entering the dungeon. I don't know all kinds of situations, and I can't discuss it any more.

The mechanical clock struck seven times. It was already getting late, and the players began to allocate rooms.

Ye Zi pulled Zou Yan directly, and said with a smile, "I'll just share a room with Sister Zou, please take care of Sister Zou."

It is only natural for the two girls to be together.

How the rest of the people will be arranged is open to discussion, Qi Si glanced over Shen Ming and Lin Chen nonchalantly.

Shen Ming, as a veteran player who entered the dungeon for the third time, is also faintly occupying a leading position, so he should express something at this time.

For example... leading a newcomer.

Sensing Qi Si's gaze, Shen Ming quickly understood the meaning, and his face darkened slightly.

He turned to look at Lin Chen and said solemnly: "Xiao Lin, you are a newcomer, who do you want to share a room with?"

Lin Chen looked distracted when he was assigned a room. Now that he was suddenly called upon, his already pale face became even paler.

Of course he knew that his status as a rookie was disgusting.

Inexperience, in a dangerous and deadly game, undoubtedly means high mortality and trouble.

Shen Ming seemed to have given him the right to choose, but it was actually a way of getting rid of responsibility.

No matter who he chose, that person has a reason to ignore him, and it can also be said that he chose blindly and wishful thinking.

Probably in the eyes of these old players, he is already a dead man, right?
Lin Chen began to regret that he shouldn't have gone to that alley after evening self-study, and he shouldn't have acted bravely after seeing those two punks molesting girls...

In this way, he won't be beaten to death, and he won't have to enter a weird game just for another chance to live...

The silence actually only lasted for two seconds, Qi Si saw Lin Chen's expression was extremely bad, and knew that the time had come.

He pretended to helplessly shook his head and sighed, then forced a smile and looked at Lin Chen: "If you don't mind, just share a room with me."

"My experience is definitely not as rich as Brother Shen's, but I am still confident that I can avoid some simple death points."

Shen Ming's refusal to share a room with Lin Chen was completely expected by Qi Si, and it was even what he hoped for.

After all, sending charcoal in a timely manner is the most memorable affection.

He lowered his eyes and asked in a tentative tone: "Lin Chen, what do you think?"

This is a kind of rhetoric that takes retreat as an advance. If you are too superior, it is easy to arouse the rebellious psychology of the beneficiary; giving alms in full view of the public is even more likely to hurt your self-esteem.

When Qi Si asked this question, he passed the steps appropriately, changing from a condescending charity to an equal consultation.As long as the other party is not too stupid, you can feel the kindness and feel grateful.

——He has always been good at grasping the psychology of others, and he is even more familiar with these small tricks.

Lin Chen looked at Qi Si firmly.

The youth's black eyes were shining brightly, giving people a feeling of sincerity.

Triggering the new rules before has proved that he has rich experience, and now he is extending an olive branch to newcomers, and he is more calm and reliable...

Immediately, Lin Chen nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice: "Thank you Brother Qi! I will try not to hold back!"

Qi Si let out a low "hmm", and all the moderate embarrassment displayed was melted into a broad smile.

The so-called room allocation is equivalent to briefly dividing the six-person group into three small groups.

He didn't expect his teammates to do anything, as long as they were obedient and easy to use.

The only one who barely met the conditions and looked over was Lin Chen.

Of course, he would not say these words.

At this moment, he received Lin Chen's grateful gaze, feeling extremely at ease.

The rest, Shen Ming and Chang Xu, a mature elite, and a middle-aged man with facial paralysis, it's an interesting combination when you think about it.

Under Shen Ming's astonished gaze, Qi Si took a key marked "3" from his hand, and dragged Lin Chen to room 3, which was the innermost room.

The distance between this room and the other two rooms is equal, and it is easier and more accurate to judge the situation outside through the door through hearing.

Shen Ming looked at Qi Si's walking away with a melancholy expression: ...Are you even polite?
