The usual dungeon tasks are to find the customs clearance exit, but this time the dungeon is just a guest?Is it enough to stay here for three days?Or is it that the task of finding the escape exit will be released later?

Zhou Zhou had a lot of doubts in his mind, but it was too windy and windy outside, and he couldn't discuss this matter with his companions, so he could only go in first.

There is a blue-gray arched stone door on the front of the castle. Zhou Zhou, who was standing at the front, was about to knock on the door, but the stone door opened a crack towards the inside.

From a gap two fingers wide, a cloudy eye was exposed, with drooping eyelids and obvious bags under the eyes. The eyes without emotion looked up and down at the three people outside the door.An orange light faintly shines from below, illuminating the half of the other party's exposed face.

It was a very old man with deep wrinkles on his face. Even under the warm light, his skin revealed a gray and aging atmosphere.

Just as Zhou Zhou was about to say that they came here to do a mission, he heard the old man say in a hoarse voice, "You are passing passengers, right? It's raining so hard outside, so come in and take shelter from the rain."

The stone door on one side was mostly opened, and the old man stood behind the stone door and looked at them expressionlessly, beckoning them to come in.

"Oh, thank you." Zhou Zhou thanked the other party, then put the leaf used to block the rain outside the door, and then walked in.

Lan Ya also stood Ye Zi outside the door, followed Zhou Zhou in, and said thank you cautiously.

Alvia was the last one to come in. He glanced at the old man behind the door. The old man was bent over, with one hand behind his back and the other holding a lamp. Most of his body was hidden in the shadow behind the stone door.The clothes are also dark, and the whole person seems to almost blend with the shadow.

If it weren't for the light in his hand illuminating half of the old man's face, it would not be easy to find him in the dark.

The arched gate of the castle is made of stone. Just by looking at the two fan-shaped scratches on the ground paved with stone bricks, one can know that the weight of the stone gate is definitely not light. The old man has been carrying a lamp, so hePulling open the stone door with only the other hand?The strength must be a bit too much.

Or is there a mechanism for this door?

Without expressing her question, Alvia nodded to the old man and said thank you.

At this time, the three of them were standing near the door, and did not continue to move forward. After all, this is a place with an owner, so it is not easy for them to wander around.

The old man didn't respond to everyone's thanks, and he didn't know what he had done, so the stone door closed automatically.

The dull sound of closing the door brought Zhou Zhou back to his senses, who was still looking at the castle hall. He watched the old man take a black crutch from the wall, then leaned on the crutch in one hand, and held the lamp in the other, and went silently.go forward.

Although the old man didn't speak, Zhou Zhou still followed behind him.

"Boom, boom, boom."

The old man staggered and walked very slowly, taking a few minutes in just a few steps.

Zhou Zhou didn't urge him, and walked slowly behind the old man. After entering the door, there was the castle hall. There was a fireplace made of stone bricks on the right side, and there were a few burning firewood in it. The flames were not too strong.It was almost extinguished, and there were a few mahogany chairs near the fireplace.

The old man led the three of them straight to the fireplace, slightly raised his drooping eyelids, and Zhou Zhou seemed to understand what the other party meant.

"Do you want us to warm up here?"

The old man nodded, then turned around, and left slowly on crutches.

There were five mahogany chairs, and the three of Zhou Zhou sat together, looking at the castle and talking quietly.

The castle was too quiet. After the old man went upstairs, he couldn't hear the sound of the crutches, and the sound of the wind and rain outside the window became very quiet. don't know if it was because of the sound insulation effect of the castle, or the downpour of rain outside really became quieter.

There were only a few crackling sounds from the fireplace closest to them from time to time.

Lan Ya looked around and whispered, "I feel a little depressed here."

Zhou Zhou nodded. It is true that there are no windows in the hall, and it is made of thick dark stones, which is really depressing.

Furthermore, it was really too dark here, except for the firelight in the fireplace, there were only a few wall lamps hanging on the stone wall in the whole hall, emitting a hazy halo.

"This dungeon is a bit strange. The task of customs clearance is to let us stay here for three days, and we didn't say to find an escape exit. So what do we have to do to pass the customs? Is it true that we have passed the customs after staying for three days?"

Lan Ya didn't know either. She downloaded the dungeon with Yue Ling before, and every time she cleared the customs, she also had to find the exit. This was the first time she encountered such a situation.

"Let's wait and see." Alvia didn't find anything abnormal around, so it's best to observe first.

"Boom, boom, boom"

The stairs here are also made of bricks, close to the wall, and there is no handrail on the other side. The old man walked down the stairs with a cane. He hung the lamp on his wrist and held a black plate in his hand.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhou Zhou and others, the old man came over and put a plate in front of them, with three small croissants inside.

The three looked at each other, and then each took a piece from the plate.

"thanks."

This piece of croissant looked golden in color, but when held it in hand, realized that the soft bread had become cold and hard, and didn't know when it was made.

Alvia held the bread in one hand and wondered if it would be a problem. Zhou Zhou had already started eating the bun. Although it was true that there was no moisture at all, Zhou Zhou was not picky about food, and the bun lost most of it after a few bites.

Lan Ya was a little wary at first. After all, this is a copy of the game, and everything in it may have problems, but seeing that Zhou Zhou was about to finish eating the bread, she also took small bites.

Alvia: "..."

The old man stood by and didn't speak, just looked at them expressionlessly.Suddenly, the old man walked towards the door, and he randomly placed the plate in his hand on the cabinet in the corner.

Zhou Zhou originally wanted to go along with him, but the old man turned his head and glanced at him, and Zhou Zhou interpreted the meaning of the other party, telling him not to come over while sitting, so Zhou Zhou obediently sat back.

The three of them all looked towards the door, where the light was too dark, Lan Ya couldn't see very clearly, but the other two were staring there intently, she still tried to open her eyes wide, staring at the old man's bent back, trying to seesomething.

I saw the old man standing at the door, putting his crutches by the wall, and then he didn't know what he did, so he opened the stone door a crack and looked outside.

Although Zhou Zhou and Alvia didn't see how the old man opened the stone door, they clearly saw a person standing outside the gap, and judging from the sounds they heard, there was more than one person outside.

But how did the old man know there were people outside?Alvia suddenly thought that his hearing was considered very good. Before the old man walked towards the door, he didn't hear anyone talking outside, but the old man could detect it immediately. It seemed that the old man was hiding something.The problems are many.

"We are based on the map..." A male voice suddenly sounded, and was interrupted by the old man in the middle of speaking.

"You are passing passengers, it's raining so hard outside, come in to hide from the rain."

It was exactly the same as what they said when they were outside the door. From seeing the old man to now, he only said two sentences, and these two sentences were exactly the same.

The stone door was opened, and a group of people came in. These people should also be players. After entering, they looked around and saw the three people sitting in front of the fireplace. They were stunned for a moment, and then nodded to the three people.

Zhou Zhou and Lan Ya also nodded towards them.

Then these people walked towards Zhou Zhou and the others, and the male player at the front asked, "Are you also here to make dungeons?"

Zhou Zhou nodded: "Yeah."

"Also Castle Night?"

"Are you all too?" Zhou Zhou looked at the players behind him, wondering if they belonged to the same team, there were actually ten of them in total.

The male player smiled heartily: "It seems that we are going to do the mission together."

While Zhou Zhou was chatting with the players, Alvia noticed an abnormality. When they came in, the old man led them to the fireplace and brought them bread.But after these people came in, the old man walked slowly at the end, and now he was standing not far away looking at this place, not planning to bring food to these players at all.

The eyelids are drooping, and the half-closed eyes look like they have fallen asleep standing up, so why is his behavior different in the two times, because they were the first to come in?Or is there another reason?

Alvia glanced at a large group of players who poured in. These people looked at the internal structure of the castle full of novelty, and some people were amazed at the uniquely shaped wall lights on the wall, and they were full of surprises at all kinds of things in the hall.The decorations were commented, and the originally quiet castle became very lively with the arrival of these people.

Or maybe it only brought noise, Alvia took a deep look at the old man, turned her head and did not speak again.

On the other hand, Zhou Zhou, after chatting with the male players, he suddenly discovered that the remaining two mahogany chairs were occupied by the two players who ran over first, and the owner of the castle, the old man, held a lamp and did not say a word.stood in the corner.

Zhou Zhou got up quickly and asked the old man to sit down.

The old man still didn't speak, just shook his head at Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou always felt that this was not good. Although the old man let them warm up here before, but now they occupied all the chairs in the hall, and let the old man stand instead. Even if the old man did not sit, Zhou Zhou did not return.Instead of reaching his seat, he stood up and added a few logs to the fireplace.

His place was taken by another player with quick eyes and quick hands.

Lan Ya glanced at the position occupied by other people, and watched Zhou Zhou walking towards the old man after adding firewood, she also quickly got up and followed.

She doesn't know much about the dungeon, and she doesn't know how to pass the level. In addition, she is not very courageous, so the best way is to follow her teammates.

Alvia glanced at the two of them and followed.

And their vacant positions were immediately taken up by others.

Originally wanted to chat with the old man, but the old man stood there motionless, like a statue, even if Zhou Zhou asked him what his name was, how old he was this year, whether he had dinner today, the other party would not answer, at most he raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

Zhou Zhou saw the obvious dislike in the other party's eyes, and thought he talked too much.

Zhou Zhou blinked, forget it, he still didn't speak.

The old man stood in the corner, watching the other players rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the living room looking for clues, while the three players next to him stood side by side in a row, watching the players together.

Suddenly, the old man walked towards the door with a lamp and a cane. Alvia followed the old man this time and followed him to the door.

Zhou Zhou and Lan Ya didn't know what Elvia wanted to do, but they were in the same team, so they followed behind the old man.

Regarding their following and Alvia's obvious exploration, the old man said nothing. Although he also tried to drive away Alvia with his eyes, he was not as obedient as Zhou Zhou, and kept staring at the opponent's hand.

The old man gave up on chasing people with his eyes, and ignored them. He just repeated the previous process, said the same words, and brought in the outside players.

This time Alvia saw it clearly, lightly pressing a certain brick behind the stone door, the door will open a little, if all the bricks are pressed down, the stone door will be fully opened, and the stone door will close immediately after letting go.

Including the two players who came in this time, there are now a total of fifteen players here.

The two new players greeted Zhou Zhou and the others, and then greeted the other group of players. There were more and more participants in Nightmare City, and the rules of some dungeons were familiar to everyone. Facing some unknown creatures andIn the scene, it is the best choice to keep in touch with other people to resist together. Being alone is very dangerous and has the highest elimination rate.

The people in the castle were still chatting, but the topics they talked about were all speculation about dungeons and changes in customs clearance tasks.

It seems that these players don't know why the customs clearance copy this time is different from usual.

The old man was still standing at his original position, and Zhou Zhou and the others were also standing there. He thought that the old man was standing here to wait for the next batch of players to arrive, but a few minutes later, he suddenly walked into the lobby.

"It's time to rest now, I'll take everyone to the room to rest."

The old man's voice was hoarse. In such a noisy environment, only the nearest few players could hear it. The rest of them were still looking for clues and discussing what would happen in the dungeon.

"It's time to rest now. I'll take everyone to the room to rest." The old man said it again blankly. The noise of more than a dozen players resounded in the closed hall, but many people still didn't hear it.

Zhou Zhou couldn't stand it anymore, he quickly stood beside the old man, and repeated the old man's words loudly.

This time everyone heard clearly.

It's just that the way they looked at Zhou Zhou was very strange.

"Are you an NPC?"

Zhou Zhou is indeed, but now he will not panic because of these words, but calmly said: "I am not the NPC of this dungeon, I am just relaying what this old man said."

Zhou Zhou looked at the old man with the expression of you continuing to talk.

The old man didn't say anything more, and walked upstairs with a cane in one hand and a lamp in the other.

The players looked at each other, and they all knew that the plot was about to start, so they hurriedly followed behind the old man.

The old man walked very slowly, and everyone could only follow slowly.

"The owner of the castle lives in the top steeple. He doesn't like strangers, so please don't make noise at night, and don't bother that lord, otherwise..."

The old man turned around and scanned the crowd, his cloudy eyes were full of indifference: "You will bear the consequences."

"When you get up tomorrow morning, you can leave, adults like to be clean."

leave tomorrow?But the task is to stay for three days.

Everyone immediately realized that this might be the first challenge, and successfully stayed for three days.
