Before the players digested this matter, the old man continued: "There are exactly fifteen vacant rooms, and each of them lives in one room."

Immediately, some players asked: "Can several people live in one room."

The old man didn't look back: "If you are not satisfied with the guest room here, you can find another place to live outside the castle."

The players immediately fell silent, and it seemed that they had to share a room with each other.

The old man opened the nearest room on the second floor, and the players immediately looked inside, fearing that something strange would come out.

The inside of the room is very clean and tidy, it looks very modern, and all household items are available, but there are no windows, and the light is a little dark.

The small square windows they saw outside the castle were distributed on the fourth floor and the top spiers of the castle, where the old man expressly prohibited players from stepping in.

There are eight vacant rooms on the second floor, and seven rooms on the third floor. After discussion among other players, the ten-person team lived on the second and third floors 50-50. Zhou Zhou and the others lived on the second floor, and the other two players lived on the third floor.

After the other players made their choices, they entered the room. The main reason was that the old man kept staring at them until someone went in and closed the door before continuing to the next room.

The players originally wanted to find more news in the castle, but the old man's attitude was also very firm, and he left the castle if he didn't want to stay in the guest room, so the players could only enter the house in despair.

Zhou Zhou and the others were in the three corner rooms on the second floor. When the old man started staring at them again, Zhou Zhou stood at the door and suddenly asked, "Isn't it always night here? So what time is tomorrow morning?"

There is only night and no day in the dark forest, so what time does the old man call you tomorrow morning? Is there morning here?

The rest of the players only thought of this question and looked at the old man one after another.

"I will call everyone in three hours. Please rest well during this time and don't go out of the room." The old man leaned on a cane, and his tone implied warning.

The rest of the players nodded in agreement, joking, what to do if they don't agree to be kicked out, what else do they do with the task.

Zhou Zhou walked into the room first, and Lan Ya and Alvia also walked into the other two rooms.

The sound of crutches and footsteps outside the door gradually moved away, and the remaining seven players continued to follow the old man to the third floor.

Standing in the room, Zhou Zhou looked at the surrounding environment. There was no wrinkle on the bed, no dust on the table, and there was a faint fragrance in the room. The whole room felt very comfortable.

In the dungeon, he couldn't send messages to his companions, and he couldn't leave the room. Zhou Zhou wandered around and didn't know what to do. He moved his eyes to the big soft bed and stared at it for a long time.

A few minutes later, Zhou Zhou lay on the bed, covered his eyes with the quilt and closed his eyes. He slept for three hours first, and got up again when the old man called.

He lived a very regular life in the game of Love Academy, going to bed at dark and getting up at dawn.

In Nightmare City, the time flow in Novice Village and the dungeon is different. Zhou Zhou always feels that his biological clock has been destroyed. Sometimes he can’t rest for several days in the dungeon. Now that he has time to sleep, he has to sleep quickly.

Zhou Zhou on this side fell asleep, and Alvia on the other side entered the room and searched carefully in every corner. After all, some valuable clues might be found in the room.

Lan Ya is in the corner room. She is not used to being alone in the room. Because she is timid, she is always inseparable from Yue Ling when she is making dungeons. Today, I happened to see the invitation message sent by Zhou Zhou, so I didn't think much about it.Just agree to come down.

After all, in the dungeon of things in the deep sea, everyone can see Zhou Zhou's performance. Not only do you not have to worry about following him, but the chances of passing the level will be even greater.

But now, she has a little bit of regret. It's not that Zhou Zhou and the others are bad, but she is afraid that she will be delayed.Strengthening her mental strength, she would not dare to play this kind of game even if she was killed. In the first few dungeons, there was nothing scary except for the things in the deep sea.

I just hope nothing weird happens this time.

Lan Ya sat on the bed and sighed sadly, waiting quietly for three hours to pass.

I don't know where the old man went. The players on the second floor have not heard any sound, not even the sound of crutches.

Suddenly, a room on the second floor was quietly opened, and then a head was stretched out to look left and right.

The long corridor was dimly lit and silent.

The player tiptoed out, gently opened the door next door, and slipped in.

All the rooms were unlocked and could be easily entered and exited. After entering, he tiptoedly closed the door again, making almost no sound during the whole process.

"What are you doing!?" The player who watched his companion sneak in was very surprised.

"Shh~ Keep your voice down, it's bad if you are discovered by an NPC." Player 1 whispered.

Player No. 2 was very speechless. Looking at the other party lying on the door listening to the voice outside, he said helplessly: "Didn't that NPC say that? We are not allowed to walk around at will."

Player 1 saw that no one found him outside, so he turned around and sat on the stool carelessly: "He said not to let us make noise, and not to disturb the master of the castle, but he didn't say that he couldn't come to the next room for a stroll..”

Both of them entered the room before Zhou Zhou, and they didn't hear the conversation between Zhou Zhou and the old man, so they didn't know that the last sentence the old man said was to warn them not to go out of the room.

Player 2 thought about it, and then sat on the other side.

"Did you really just need to stay here for three days for this customs clearance mission?" Player No. 2 asked.

Player No. 1 reached for the teacup on the table, snorted and said, "It's not that you don't know the urine of the dungeon. How could it be possible for us to pass the level so easily? In my opinion, it's definitely not that simple."

"What do you mean?" Player 2 asked curiously. He seemed to have discovered something after listening to the other party.

"Read the content of the mission carefully and see what it says."

Player No. 2 reopens his quest panel, and looks at the quest content above, "To be a guest in the castle for three days".He pondered over this sentence carefully, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"You mean... to be a guest?"

Player No. 1 put down the teacup in his hand, and analyzed: "Yes, you see that it says being a guest, how can it be considered as a guest? Either you are invited by the host, or you take the initiative to visit, what do you think we are?"

Player No. 2 recalled what the old man said when he entered the door, hesitantly said: "It doesn't count."

When entering the castle, the old man regarded them as tourists, and only let them in to hide from the rain, and had to leave early in the morning. At most, he could only take them in for a night, and it had nothing to do with being "guests" anyway.

Player No. 1 sneered: "Hmph, if we really stay here for three days in a daze, the dungeon will probably only fail."

"Then what should we do?" Player 2 asked with a frown.

Player No. 1 did not speak, but meaningfully stretched out his index finger and pointed upwards.

"You mean..." No. 2 seemed to understand the meaning of the other party, but then he frowned again, "Should we ask others to go together?"

"Too many people will be discovered, just the two of us go, and the players who come together are frizzy, maybe something bad will happen at any time, you are relatively stable, so I deliberately asked for the room next doorCome here to find you. Besides, we all have props in hand, even if there is any problem, we can use props to solve it.”

Player No. 2 hesitated for a while: "Okay, let's go."

The rain outside seemed to have stopped, and the entire castle was extremely quiet. The wall lamps in the corridor fainted with circular orange light sources, flickering slightly from time to time.

Suddenly, two pitch-black shadows appeared on the wall of the dark corridor, and the shadows gradually expanded, revealing two human figures on the wall.

The two players bowed their bodies and quietly walked up from the second floor.

The second, third, and fourth floors have similar structures. The number of corridors and rooms looks almost exactly the same, and even the positions of the wall lights on the walls are very similar. At first glance, almost thought they were still on the second floor.

However, as the fourth floor continued to go up, the stairs became narrower, from four people side by side to the width of two people side by side.

The two continued to walk to the fifth floor while paying attention not to make any noise.

Turning around the corner of the stairs, found that there was only a simple metal door at the end of the stairs. This should be the residence of the castle owner. The two players looked at each other and slowly opened the door...

On the second floor, Alvia found a strange passage in the room, saying that the passage is not suitable, it can only be regarded as a hole.There's a head-sized hole in the wall at the foot of the bed, a normal person shouldn't be able to get into the room through this hole, so what's the hole for?

Moreover, the hole does not lead to the next door. Where is its source?Is it in every room or just some of them?

These questions may not be known until tomorrow. Alvia is sitting on the stool, but her eyes are staring under the bed. Most people will not look at that position, because it is basically covered by the bed. There may be other purposes for staying the player overnight.

Alvia thought about many questions in her mind, but most of these questions still have no answers.

Lan Ya walked up and down the room, trying to cheer herself up, and then no matter what she saw in the dungeon, she must be calm, and she must not hold back her teammates because she was too afraid.

Lan Ya, you can do it!

And Zhou Zhou at this time: ZZZ

"Ah, there is a ghost!"

A shrill scream tore through the stillness of the castle, followed by the muffled sound of something rolling down the stairs.

It sounds... like a human being.

Players on the second and third floors heard the sound, and some of them, driven by curiosity, quietly opened the door to find out what happened outside.

Before seeing anything, he found the old man standing at the stairs like a ghost looking towards them. His loose skin seemed to hang on his face against the light. His face was ugly, and the corners of his mouth drooped.Staring at the player with a cold face.

Player: "..."

Silently close the door.

Some players have already heard the voice coming from their teammates, but it is useless to worry, they can't go out before the time, and there are old men squatting outside.

Lan Ya, who was cheering herself up, suddenly heard the scream, and was so frightened that she almost yelled out, but in the end she held back, covered her mouth and waited for the time to pass.

Zhou Zhou was also awakened by the sound. He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while, but he heard nothing again, so he closed his eyes again.

For most players, these three hours are very difficult. They don't know what happened outside, and their companions don't know what's going on.And they couldn't do anything in the room, and they couldn't sleep like some big-hearted players, and they walked around the room anxiously.

Finally, the sound of crutches sounded again on the second floor, and the old man knocked softly on the door of each room three times, and then continued to knock on the door of the next room.

The player who could not bear it anymore was already standing at the door when the old man's cane sounded, and when he heard the knock on the door, he immediately came out of the room.

Many people looked towards the stairs for the first time after they came out, but the light was too dim to see what happened.

Zhou Zhou woke up just three hours after he arrived. After he got up, he restored the bed to its original state, and waited until there was no trace of wrinkle before he nodded in satisfaction and came out of the room.

As soon as I went out, I met the old man and said, "Good morning!"

After sleeping, Zhou Zhou was relieved and greeted the old man.

The other party still had that icy look and didn't respond, but continued to knock on the next room.

Lan Ya finally heard the knock on the door. When she came out of the room, the first thing she saw was Zhou Zhou standing behind the old man smiling and waving at her. Lan Ya almost cried. It’s really nice to be alone in this kind of placeIt's hard.

After all the players on the second floor came out, the old man tremblingly leaned on a cane to call for help on the third floor.

The last group of players gathered was thirteen, and the two players who lived on the second floor were gone.

Everyone understood that the previous sound must have something to do with the two players who disappeared, but there was no trace left on the stairs, and they couldn't tell what happened.

And, the previous scream about seeing a ghost?what did they seeghost?

Everyone had a lot of questions and guesses. The familiar players were discussing with each other in low voices, but no one asked the witnesses of the incident.

Zhou Zhou was the first to ask the old man, "Master, what happened last night? Where did the other two players go?"

The other players immediately returned to their senses and listened carefully to the old man's answer with their ears up.

Walking on crutches, the old man calmly said: "They don't like this place, they left last night."

nonsense!Obviously something went wrong!They all heard it!

Zhou Zhou blinked and wanted to ask something, but the old man stopped in his tracks.

After coming out of the room, they followed the old man's footsteps, but the other party took them to the door on the first floor. After the old man stopped, the players also stopped.

"It's no longer raining outside, and it's time for passengers to continue on their way. See you soon." The old man opened the stone door after finishing his expressionless expression.

Slightly cold air rushed in, and it was still pitch black outside the stone gate. The violent storm had dissipated, and it was unusually quiet outside.

The players looked outside the door and took a step back in silence.

Just kidding, you can't go out even if you are killed.

"Can we stay here for three days before leaving?" asked one player.

The old man didn't seem to hear, and repeated the words for the players to leave.

The players seemed to have roots on the soles of their feet, no matter how many times the old man told them not to go out, they were extremely reckless.
