After Edmund disappeared, the players picked up his necklace and the wiring diagram next to his body, and Lo closed the hidden compartment under the piano, and they were about to leave the piano room.

Suddenly, as if it could no longer withstand the power of time, the sheet music on the piano turned into a puddle of powder, and the long-lost system prompt appeared at the same time as this change:

"Destroy the scene props, Mrs. Bella has noticed you"

The players were shocked. Before the wall was demolished, Mrs. Bella had no response at all. Now a piano score was broken, but it directly attracted the hatred of Mrs. Bella.

Unlike everyone else, Xiao Lan received another exclusive reminder:

"The poverty value has increased by 10,000, and Xiao Lan is still so poor."

It turned out to be a long-lost poverty value reminder! But...is the piano scores in noble families so expensive?

Xiao Lan speculates that the way to obtain poverty points is probably to destroy the things that bosses or NPCs care about.

For example, for Zhang Dong, in his heart, everything in the supermarket belongs to him, and whatever he has, it belongs to him; but for Gu Mo, it belongs to the scene she created.

Whether it was demolishing walls or destroying decorations before, it didn't increase the poverty value, probably because Mrs. Bella didn't care about them at all. No matter how expensive these things were, they didn't matter to her. And Annie's room may be because Annie only cares about her sister, and she doesn't care about her own room.

But Mrs. Bella couldn't bear the destruction of a score in the piano room, after all, it was something that carried her and Edmund's fond memories.

All she cares about is the piano room!

Xiao Lan's eyes lit up in an instant, trying to study the things in the room to see if he could find a suitable opportunity to turn them into poverty points before clearing the level, so as not to draw hatred.

His eyes locked on the vase next to him, which seemed to be easy to carry. However, his fingers had just touched the vase, and the vase containing withered flowers also turned to ashes like a piano score.

"Destroy the scene props, Mrs. Bella remembers you in her heart"

"The poverty value has increased by 400,000, and Xiao Lan is extremely poor and happy"

Xiao Lan withdrew his hand: "..."

This is really touching porcelain.

Being remembered by the boss, he can't be happy at all.

At this point, a new system prompt appeared, blocking his other thoughts:

"The beloved piano room was broken into by unreasonable guests, and the angry Mrs. Bella decided to return to the manor ahead of schedule"

Xiao Lan stopped when he was about to study other things in the room.

The things in this room are now shattered when touched, and can't be taken away at all.

If this piano room is smashed now, it may gain a lot of poverty points, but it will also gain a lot of hatred from Mrs. Bella. At that time, Mrs. Bella may teleport directly in front of him and slap him to death.

Money or death, this is an eternal dilemma.

Xiao Lan resolutely gave up the idea of ​​​​starting with other things in the room. Although poverty is at risk, it is necessary to enjoy life. The good memories of others are better left there for them to appreciate.

At this time, Wang Teddy pointed to the window where they had opened the curtains for the convenience of finding clues: "Look, what is there!"

The players turned their heads to look, and saw an ominous blood-red color on the horizon in the distance. The blood-colored shade covered the sky and covered the sun. They were approaching the manor at a very fast speed. This red color reminded people of— - Otti's scarlet eyes.

I am afraid it is Mrs. Bella, she is rushing towards this side, I am afraid it will not take long at this speed.

"Let's go! Leave the manor!" Xiao Lan shouted.

There was no time to hesitate, the players rushed out of the piano room and headed towards the basement according to Edmund's route map.

When the players ran to the corridor, they found that the whole manor had become different. This manor is like a monster that wakes up after a long sleep, constantly stretching its body.

The corridor that appeared in front of them was not what it used to be.

There are many forks and turns in the originally straight corridor, which are constantly changing, making rustling sounds. The glass windows on both sides became extremely high and were still moving at a strange speed.

Before they could figure out how to deal with it, the ground beneath their feet suddenly began to break down into pieces, and then, like manipulative building blocks, they began to re-form a new corridor.

Xiao Lan was taken to the left by the ground under his feet, Luo reacted quickly and jumped directly from where he was, and grabbed him tightly.

On the other side, the ground beneath the unfortunate child's feet cracked open and threw him downward. Wang Teddy tried to grab the floor next to him, but unfortunately staggered again. At a critical juncture, Wang Ke got his hands on the long knife with quick eyes and quick hands. He used the back of the knife to pick up his silly brother's waistband and threw it back, before pulling him back to the floor where Wang Ke was.

In an instant, several corridors appeared between the two sides, blocking the line of sight, and the players were separated like this.

Xiao Lan looked at the unfamiliar corridor in front of her and became cautious.

In front of all this is obviously a delay in time.

As long as the player is trapped and waits until Mrs. Bella returns, that level of power is obviously not something that junior players and suppressed senior players can face.

Before taking two steps, a maid came out of the corner ahead.

She looked numb, her eyes were dull, like a manipulated puppet, she charged directly towards Xiao Lan. Her behavior reminded Xiao Lan of the players who ate Mrs. Bella's food at the last dinner. Could it be that the maids in the manor also had players who failed to clear the level?

This possibility is very high.

Xiao Lan dodged the maid's frontal attack, and while the other party was turning his back to him for a while, a hand knife slashed at the back of her neck, knocking him out.

After that, randomly found a room, threw people in, and locked the door.

At the critical moment of escaping, it is better not to entangle with NPCs.

Moving on for a while, the walls of the corridor staggered, and the environment changed again. What appeared in front of the corridor this time was a room that looked like a kitchen. If Xiao Lan wanted to go forward, he had to pass through it.

Xiao Lan entered the kitchen carefully. The kitchen looked very quiet. Because it was empty, there was no hidden danger at first glance.

When passing a chopping board, Xiao Lan's eyes were attracted.

It is not unusual to have a knife on the chopping board, but what is strange is that this knife is obviously a fruit knife, or a modern stainless steel product, which does not match this gorgeous replica at all.

Xiao Lan picked up the knife:

[Name: This is a highly poisonous dagger (advanced item, bound)]

[Ability: Every time you use it, there is a random poison, not necessarily highly poisonous, this guy is a headliner]

[Note: Although it looks like a fruit knife that does not exceed ten dollars, it is really poisonous, please don't lick it]

This time, there was no prompt to deduct the poverty value at all. It seems that Xiao Lan has no problem using this poverty-related item at all, which is really gratifying.

— a fart.

Xiao Lan could even imagine the picture of a ten-dollar knife in his left hand and a twenty-dollar pot lid in his right when everyone was holding gorgeous equipment...

I don't want to be ashamed!

Xiao Lan looked at the knife: "Luo, I may be the owner with nothing in history."

"But you have all our debts," Luo said with a smile.

Xiao Lan: "..."

No chat today! ! !

Disgusting is disgusting, this is a high-level prop! It seems to be more suitable for Xiao Lan than the Blade of Demeter, and the ability with toxins seems to be very practical.

Xiao Lan still quickly put the knife into the props backpack. From this moment on, he is also the one who has the weapon.

The two left the kitchen unharmed.

When stepping into the next corridor, Xiao Lan's heart was futilely alert.

This section of the corridor is very quiet, with only the slight rustling of the walls changing, and there are no maids who frantically come forward to attack the player.

Looks peaceful.

But there was a strange smell in the air, like the smell of blood mixed with the smell of vomiting, mixed with the incense in the manor, which was particularly uncomfortable.

There were two footsteps approaching in the corner not far ahead, one sounded heavy and panic, like a seriously injured person who was desperately escaping.

The other sounded unhurried, as if walking around the manor.

The two look odd together.

Xiao Lan and Luo stopped and assumed a defensive posture, waiting for the person in front to appear. Xiao Lan also took out [this is a poison-stained dagger] and held it in his hand for easy attack at any time.

The heavy and disorderly footsteps got closer and closer, and finally appeared in front of them.

It's almost hard to be called a person.

He was supposed to be tall, but now he was hunched over and curled up. On the exposed skin, there are large areas of congestion, many of which have turned purple and black, and spread at an incredible speed as he progresses.

This person seems to be the tall man with a bit of fierceness in his eyes when he entered the game.

He seemed to have lost his mind, and walked forward on instinct, coughing and muttering something in his mouth: "I'm guilty...kill... shouldn't...let, let me go..."

This appearance reminded Xiao Lan of the legendary Black Death, which is the plague.

Among them, patients with outbreaks of plague developed symptoms of systemic toxemia for a short period of time, accompanied by confusion, and the patients usually died within three days. It is because of the extensive hemorrhage and ecchymosis on their skin that the corpse after death appears purple-black, so it is called the "Black Death".

However, the condition of this person is developing too fast, and it is changing every minute, as if it has been manipulated by humans.

Suddenly, the man's hazy eyes saw a figure, he seemed to see hope, and ran towards Xiao Lan with all his strength, he stretched out his purple-black hand: "Save... save me! Save! I!"

Xiao Lan quickly retreated to distance himself from this person, but the plague can be transmitted through droplets!

The man still didn't give up, panting heavily and turning his direction, he wanted to reach out to Xiao Lan.

In the next instant, a sharp scalpel flew out from the dark corridor behind him, piercing straight into the back of his head, and the man fell to the ground without making a sound.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of my prey for a while and let him disturb you." The voice of the speaker was hoarse and seemed to have a weak feeling of lack of energy and blood.

A man came out of the darkness, tall and thin, with a long black trench coat, wide-brimmed top hat, beak mask, and white hair like snow. He bowed slightly to Xiao Lan to apologize.

It's Qi Ning.
