Chapter 14 Castle Night

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and before he can take another look, a beautiful figure suddenly appears in his sight, someone grabs Wen Shi's clothes and pulls them hard, the Bloody Bride behind him takes the opportunity to shake off Wen Shi, straighten up and get out of the danger zone.

But just like she didn't give Wen Shi a chance to breathe just now, the person who came didn't give her either.

A long sword lay across the blood bride's eyes.

"ah!"

In the cold light of the sword, the blood bride saw herself clearly again.

A horrific cry pierced the night sky.

Xie Tangyan explained the reason for her visit: "The snakes in the maze annoyed me, so I just came out for a walk." She glanced at the bloody bride, "Do you want to throw it out?"

Wen Shi hurriedly waved his hand: "I still have to take it back for business."

Xie Tangyan went back to help find the hemp rope, and brought the other half-breathed blood bride along with her. Wen Shi tied the rope firmly around her skinny wrist, and led them back.

Before leaving, Wen Shi did not forget to emphasize again to Xie Tangyan: "The range of activities should not exceed the limit of street lights."

Once it exceeds, it will be pulled into the ground by the dead man's hand bone.

rule.

Wen Shi once again realized the weight of these two words in the copy.If you want to survive, you must act within the scope of the rules.

Not daring to stay in the suburbs for too long, Wen Shi quickened his pace and walked back.

All the joints of the Blood Bride are like puppets being manipulated, walking unnaturally with too thin chopstick legs.The moonlight shone on the young man's shoulders, and his white fingers pulled the other end of the rope, like a cruel cruel official.

Wen Shi occasionally turned around to check the situation, saw the blood bride's face full of resentment, and snorted softly: "You guys came to kill me, and you've been wronged, hurry up and go."

He was still rushing back to hand in the task.

...

The brutal confrontation under the street lights and the castle after the restoration of lighting were completely divided into two worlds.Everything in the castle now shows a soft illusion distorted by the warm light.

Using Wen Shi to lure trouble away, Luo Xiao and Peng Lu worked together to deal with a seriously injured blood bride. It couldn't be easier.

The two took the blood bride to a business trip.

Peng Lu was still thinking about being locked out at Wen Shi at night: "That newcomer is a bit evil."

Luo Xiao shrugged: "It doesn't matter."

The task has been completed, and believe that useful clues will be obtained soon.

The door of the owner of the castle is open, which means that he can accept disturbance from outsiders at this moment.

After seeing the captured blood bride, the owner of the castle was in a good mood.

"You guys did a great job catching a 'little mouse' stealing paint."

He emphasized the quantity, proving that 100% satisfaction was not achieved.

Luo Xiao magnified the credit in time: "The thief is too cunning, we took Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers to barely catch it."

The owner of the castle rarely expressed his understanding generously: "Please make persistent efforts in the next few days."

Half of the blood bride's shoulders lying on the ground were burnt to black charcoal by the demon-subduing array, and a hoarse curse came out of her throat. When the owner of the castle glanced over, the blood bride finally closed her mouth out of fear.

"Congratulations on completing the job assigned by the housekeeper. Try to talk to him the next day. Maybe you will get something unexpected."

"The current castle owner's favorability towards you is thirty."

"The owner of the castle decided to give you something as a present."

"The player gets a family crest*1."

"Family badge: one-time special S-level item

The owner of the castle has a bad temper, but he cherishes every employee

Wearing this badge can temporarily obtain the status of "insider of the castle", and summon the earl to make a shot for you at night

Tip: This prop can only be activated when the favorability reaches 20 or more."

Luo Xiao and Peng Lu looked at each other, thinking secretly that they had made a lot of money.

It is really profitable!

This item is even comparable to the item "Surrogate Doll". "Surrogate Doll" is also a one-time use item. It is almost sold at a sky-high price in the mall. So far, only a few top bosses have bought it.

"Thank you for your gift, we..."

"What are we..."

Before Luo Xiao could finish her words of gratitude, she was interrupted by a voice that came out of the sky. This voice was very familiar, clear and pleasant, but it would only make people feel scalp numb if it appeared at this juncture.

There are lights at intervals in the corridor, and the owner's room is a long way from the stairs.Wen Shi walked slowly from the end of the semi-darkness, and the moment the light shone on him, the outline gradually became clear.

Wen Shi didn't come alone, he walked in front with his back straight, and behind him were two tied up blood brides. One of them almost returned to a flat state because his companion sucked a lot of blood.

The moment she saw that face clearly, Luo Xiao subconsciously clenched her fingers: "You, why are you..."

"Why are you still alive, right?"

His pupils trembled and his eyes widened.Wen Shi had seen such a familiar expression on Exiu's face before, but he didn't expect the scene to reappear so soon.

Wen Shi smiled and said, "Unity is strength."

At the critical moment, Xie Tangyan came out to help him, otherwise, although he would have come back alive, he would definitely be in a much worse situation than he is now.

The validity period of the pomegranate flower finally passed, and Wen Shi was not expelled when he set foot inside the castle.

Systematic summary of pollination achievements: "7".

Wen Shi's record in the attribute panel is no longer empty, and there is a beautiful title of "Heavenly Man Scattering Flowers". He is so beautiful that he went to the game store to see if there is an item that can clear the record with one click.

Forced himself to ignore this matter, Wen Shi handed the rope he was holding to the owner of the castle: "The thieves are here, click on it." When he looked at the other blood bride who was weak and lying on the ground, he turned his face, pretending to be surprised, said: "Ah? Why did you catch one?"

There is no harm without comparison.

Wen Shi brought back two blood brides by himself, and Luo Xiao and Peng Lu worked together to capture one, which seemed to be barely coping with the errand.

The owner of the castle immediately felt that the badge given out was not worth it.

Luo Xiao has always been eloquent, and tried hard to think of reasons to make an excuse, when a prompt sound suddenly came from his ear:

"Warning, the castle master's favorability towards you is declining."

"30, 20, 10..."

"Zero, ZERO, ZERO."

Luo Xiao swallowed her saliva, raised her head to meet the gloomy eyes of the owner of the castle, and was shocked on the spot.

Peng Lu also had a bad feeling, knowing that this side mission might be half the effort.

"It took Strength of Nine Bulls and Two Tigers to barely catch it?" The owner of the castle repeated Luo Xiao's previous words.

In the stiff situation, Wen Shi crossed his arms and looked at Luo Xiao with a half-smile.

"You won't survive tonight."

He mouthed it.

When Wen Shi saw too much, when a disaster was imminent, they flew separately, and he would not blame him if something happened, as long as the other party didn't cause trouble.

"Congratulations on completing the job assigned by the housekeeper. Try to talk to him the next day. Maybe you will get something unexpected."

"The Earl's favorability towards you is currently sixty."

"Unbelievable, the earl's affection for you has reached the passing mark."

"There is a vague aura mixed in your soul, which deeply attracts him."

"The owner of the castle decided to give you something as a gift."

"The player gets the family crest*1"

Except for the difference in favorability, the other prompts are similar to Luo Xiao's and the others. It may be because the item rewards are good this time, almost reaching the online level, and there are no extra points rewards.

What's interesting is that the favorability is increasing, but the owner of the castle has a weird expression on his face.

After the aging of the mutated pomegranate flower passed, the strange fragrance on Wen Shi's body became clearer.

There was deep attraction in the eyes of the owner of the castle. If he hadn't been restrained by invisible forces, he would have wanted to do it now.

"It's really strange."

Why hadn't this doctor's soul been found so delicious before?

His desire to devour Wen Shi's soul was surging like weeds.

The owner of the castle vented his desire in other ways, and a scepter appeared in his hand like a conjuring. Wen Shi completely saw that this thing that had directly pierced him was not a traditional golden scepter, it was more like a magic wandThe old branches are thinner, and the old bronze gold covers the entire body of the staff, and a very low-key emerald is inlaid on the top.

This time, it was no longer the unlucky Wen Shi who was stabbed through the heart, but the Blood Bride.

The scepter sank into her chest without mercy.

The moment the Blood Bride fell, coiled long hair scattered on the floor like seaweed, and a huge blood hole appeared in her slender body, devouring the remaining vitality.

Until dying, ignoring the face damaged by the formation, there is a unique sense of broken beauty.

Start a new day with a good deed every day.Wen Shi thoughtfully sent hospice care, and raised a silver plate above a nearby blood bride: "Actually, you are quite beautiful now."

The blood bride's eyes widened, this was captured by Luo Xiao and the others, the only blood bride whose eyeballs were not burned, saw the reflective objects before dissipating, and the eyeballs hurt so much, it was even worse when she saw the one that was hurt by the formation.When he looked at his natural face, he frowned in pain.

Wen Shi: "Let you see the temperament."

I don't know if his words have magic power. For a moment, the Blood Bride seemed to be able to see herself through his perspective, and her eyes didn't move an inch: "It's very... not bad..."

She looked at herself above, and said intermittently, with a hint of joy mixed with her unwillingness to die.With a flash of light, the bones of the Blood Bride were gone, and only black ashes remained on the ground.

Wen Shi retracted the hand of the silver plate.

He heard the prompt sound from the game——

"At the end of the blood bride's life, you gave her a little bit of relief. Her conscience found out and blessed you."

"Blood Bride thinks that the more beautiful women are, the more dangerous they are. You shouldn't get close to them."

Wen Shi's properties panel has been updated.

"Player ID: 460872

Codename: not generated

Health: 101(?)

Memory value: 101(?)

Charisma: [-∞, 89] (?)

Note: -∞ is only for female npcs who are more beautiful than Blood Bride

Oh, your irresistible charm"

I read it twice to make sure read it right.

At this moment, Wen Shi suddenly felt that the few charm points lost by cursing Huatian were nothing at all, and he could even lose some more, anyway, the final result would be infinite.

Negative charm is like a double-edged sword. In the future, he may face two situations. Monsters target him because they hate him, or they take the initiative to stay away from him.

I just don't know how to define the boundary between the beauty of the game and the blood bride.

While Wen Shi was still weighing the pros and cons, the owner of the castle ruthlessly held up the scepter to reap the lives of the remaining Blood Bride.

As Wen Shi deduced, the owner of the castle absolutely suppressed the Blood Bride in terms of power, but due to certain conditions, the opponent had to use a roundabout way to solve it, that is, rely on the player.

However, it is difficult for the player's strength to fight against so many blood brides, and the uncertainty has greatly increased, which indirectly gave the blood bride a chance of survival.

From this point of view, the player is more like a tool used by the game to balance certain elements of the dungeon.

The owner of the castle stared indifferently at the ashes on the ground, then his eyes fell on Wen Shi for two seconds, and he closed the door.

"Five hundred points." The moment the door closed, Luo Xiao suddenly said: "If you can really tell me what rule I triggered, I will transfer it to you."

Wen Shi's previous sentence would not survive tonight, she didn't think it was just a pure verbal threat.

It is also a person who puts interests first, this time Wen Shi ignored it, turned around and returned to his room, and his light words fell behind.

"Your ingenuity should be used to decipher the rules, such as the fear of seeing your own appearance, the blood bride is afraid of reflective things."

Luo Xiao didn't care about these accusations, she just wanted to make sure if she violated the rules by mistake.

Wen Shi shook his head.

This person's shrewdness is all used to calculate the players.

Seeing that he ignored her, Luo Xiao chased after him, reaching out to grab the other's arm: "Wait a minute."

Wen Shi preemptively predicted Luo Xiao's movements, and directly avoided the contact. The oppressive feeling brought by the dark eyes in the shadows was not weaker than that of the owner of the castle. Luo Xiao took two steps back in a little embarrassment.Shi Shi secretly scolded himself for showing timidity in front of a newcomer, Wen Shi had already walked away.

Peng Lu was also gone, obviously he didn't want to get involved.

Luo Xiao ran to the room where Peng Lu lived, and knocked heavily on the door outside: "Exiu's death has something to do with Pei Wenwei, that person is a man who will take revenge, if you didn't do anything earlier, if something happens to me, it will be your turn next time.".”

The door was half opened, and the smile on Luo Xiao's face had just bloomed, but the next moment she heard what Peng Lu said, she froze completely.

"I advise you to go back early, the side mission is over, and the corridor is not safe now."

After speaking, Peng Lu closed the door again.

Luo Xiao gritted her teeth bitterly, and chose to go back to the room after weighing it.

The candlestick on the dressing table of the guest cannot be lit. This is a confirmed death rule. Luo Xiao stands in the triangle area next to the wall, near the window.Staring at the direction of the ceiling and the door, holding the props in his hands, he put on a defensive posture.

Luo Xiao is now in a state of high tension, which has affected the body's ability to respond.

"Calm down." She dug the nails of the other empty finger into the crack of the wall behind her: "How can I be intimidated by a couple of words from a newcomer."

Time passed by every minute and every second, and there was no abnormality happening for the time being.

Luo Xiao still didn't dare to blink. While paying attention to the surrounding environment, she reviewed all the actions of today.

Most of her actions were carried out together with Wen Shi and Peng Lu, if something happened, she shouldn't do it by herself.The only thing that is out of the ordinary is that when Wen Shi is out, let the little white mouse sneak into his room to find a strand of hair, just in case.

None of these things fit the rules of death.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiao's heart gradually settled down.

At three o'clock in the morning, the sound of the cuckoo wall clock in the dining room came.This clock usually only makes two particularly penetrating time strikes at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night and 8 o'clock in the morning. This is the first time.

Luo Xiao, who had just relaxed for less than three seconds, became tense again.

The colorless liquid slowly flowed in through the crack of the door, exuding a stench of blood.In the center of the liquid was a piece of paper that was more than one meter long and as thin as a cicada's wing. As the liquid flowed through the door, the paper stood up.

It looks like a painted skin in a horror movie, and it also looks like a walking human-shaped stand.

Luo Xiao forcibly suppressed the urge to run away with the remaining rationality.

Rush out will only die faster.

Her pupils reflected the silhouette of a fuzzy woman, veil, gown... As these key elements appeared one by one, Luo Xiao said in surprise, "Blood Bride."

She suddenly remembered that it was explained in the side mission prompt that helping the butler complete the mission would arouse the monster's hatred.

Could it be that the blood bride still exists in the castle?Now out for revenge?

Luo Xiao immediately took out the undead camera and took a picture of the blood bride.

The flashing light was very dazzling, and the paper-thin Blood Bride didn't respond to it.

how so?!

Regarding the Blood Bride's weakness, Wen Shi shouldn't have lied.

The blood bride's feet did not touch the ground, and she was completely floating on the bloody water. Luo Xiao finally realized that the things in front of her were different from others of the same kind.A very good makeup artist can be sure that the woman in front of her deliberately made her face look like this.

She suddenly had a bold idea: it's true, this is the most perfect bride the owner of the castle is looking for!

In order not to be discovered, the other party has been pretending to be a blood bride and wandering in the castle.Their act of helping the owner of the castle to capture the blood bride obviously offended the real bride.

The reason why this special side mission is so rewarding is that it is either life or death.

Once you accept the task, it means you are against the blood bride. If you want to survive, you must successfully complete it to get rewards.

The "family crest" is used to frighten the blood bride to save her life.

After thinking about this, Luo Xiao immediately took out the badge.

"The use of [Family Badge] failed. This item needs to be favored by the earl with more than 20 points."

Luo Xiao's lips kept trembling, holding the badge with sweaty palms, and kept silently saying: "The bride you are looking for is here."

Attempt to pass the news to the owner of the castle in this way.

Badge was coldly unresponsive.

Luo Xiao's points are usually used to stock up on talismans, and now he has a high-level talisman, which can immobilize ordinary ghosts for ten seconds.Luo Xiao threw out all of them at once, confident that she could at least delay it for a while.

The woman hooked her finger, and the blood on the ground hung upside down, wrapping the talisman like a whirlpool. While the power of the talisman was being consumed, a small amount of blood turned into blood bubbles and slowly disappeared.

This little damage can't stop a woman in the slightest.

Suddenly half of her body melted into the blood and disappeared.

Except where the blood flowed, the ground was covered with a layer of frost, indicating that the woman had not disappeared.

Where did you go?

Luo Xiao tried to look in all directions, until there was a sense of dampness behind her, the talisman on the wall fell off at some point, and a slender and dry arm stretched out from the wall, embracing her from behind.

In an instant, the blood in Luo Xiao's body was almost frozen.

Before she completely lost her ability to move, she desperately struggled to free one arm, grabbed the candle handle on the side table, and threw it towards the window with all her might.As the night wind poured in, Luo Xiao's mouth opened weakly like a goldfish deprived of oxygen, and hoarsely let out a final cry: "The bride... is here!"

The woman behind her looked cold, and grabbed Luo Xiao's long hair and pulled her back forcefully. At this moment, Luo Xiao couldn't even move her eyes, and couldn't close them. She could only watch helplessly as she was dragged into the wall.

The whole process was too brutal, and the smell of blood that erupted was so strong that it was unimaginable.

Before losing consciousness, Luo Xiao had a grim expression: "Peng Lu, you will be next."

It's ridiculous to think about it. Fortunately, they completed the task, but they couldn't activate the life-saving props because of insufficient favorability.

Pei Wenwei, I curse you to die.

Luo Xiao couldn't say more curse words, the world in front of him was already dark.

virtual reality.

After Exiu, another player's number turned gray.

"It's Night of the Horror Castle, the dungeon where the rookie player who triggered the 3S level dungeon is located!" The first player who discovered it re-read it incredulously: "What's going on?"

An old player died before the newcomer.

More and more people are paying attention, and the voice of discussion is getting more and more heated.

"At first, I was worried that the rookie wouldn't be able to hold out for too long, and the clues about the 3S copy were gone. I didn't expect his life to be tough enough."

"This is interesting." Not everyone has the ambition to run a 3S dungeon. An S-level dungeon can make them all dead, and now it's purely for fun.

The people of the Ten Commandments didn't expect the newcomers to live too long, but now they all send members to guard the exit of the 1332 instance.

Seeing more and more people at the exit, the onlookers whispered to their friends: "Look, there will definitely be a bloodbath."

Assuming that this newcomer finally walks out of the dungeon alive, the clues in his hands are enough to cause the entire thirteenth district to fall into turmoil, and even reshuffle the cards.
