MTL - Fucking Beauty In Escape Game-Chapter 72
The gate of the castle opened automatically in front of them, the red carpet unfolded from under their feet, and the crystal lamps shone brightly above their heads. There is a revolving white staircase on the left and right sides, and the faucet ornaments on the handrails are polished shiny.
If it weren't for the automatic closing of the door with a click, they might think that they just came to a gorgeous tourist attraction.
"Welcome to the ancient castle." A voice came suddenly, and two teenagers stood on the stairs, one on the left and one on the right, smiling slightly: "There will be a day and night of hide-and-seek, this is an extremely grand game, So there will be a lot of people involved.”
The boy on the right stepped forward, moving lightly and gracefully like a cat: "I am Hester."
The boy on the left nodded to them: "I am Maduna."
The name of the twins has long been spread throughout the game, and the expressions of all the people present were frozen. They didn't expect that the game would be so exciting when it just started.
"There are only five of us here." Duan Zhen spoke first: "There are so many people, there should be more than five of us, right?"
"They came earlier than you." Hester smiled sweetly: "Some people have been waiting for a long time, and they can't wait for the game to start."
"We will explain the rules of the game to you first." Moduna answered.
Immediately afterwards, they all said in unison: "Ghosts catch people, those who survive can become ghosts, go to other hidden people, if the one you find is not human, continue to look for the next one, or because of the death of the ghost, the found existence becomes a ghost." New ghost. There is no rest period in the game, and it will end at 8:00 tomorrow morning."
"The first game will be played by me as a ghost. In this game, my identity is human, and Hester's identity is non-human. If caught by him, he can kill you directly." Moduna said again.
"Next, I'll introduce you to my playmates this time." Hearst said with a smile, "As for their identities, I don't think I need to say more."
At some point, five people stood on the railing on the second floor, staring at Duan Zhen and the others quietly and silently.
The pupils of several people shrank suddenly—the five people were exactly the same as them, even the clothes on their bodies were completely similar.
"I think you have known each other for so long, so you should have the ability to distinguish between real and fake partners." Hurst smiled happily: "Their strength is also similar to yours, but if they are accidentally caught, there may be some bad consequences happened."
"By the way, the original residents in the castle have a bad temper. Be careful when hiding. If you annoy them, you may be eaten on the spot." He continued.
"You have 600 seconds to hide." Moduna said, his green eyes were bright and dark, reflecting the silhouettes of several people: "If there are no other problems, the game starts now."
He closed his eyes and said calmly: "One, two, three..."
Without giving them a chance to ask questions, Duan Zhen quickly looked around, only to find that Hearst and the five people on the second floor disappeared in an instant. This makes it impossible to predict their tracks.
"Sure enough, it's the difficulty of the tenth level, with murderous intentions everywhere." Shen Su whispered.
"The ghosts in the first game are human beings. Even if they are caught, they will only become new ghosts." Duan Zhen spoke quickly: "We can't get together, but we can't be completely dispersed. Form a group, Shan Zuo and I will be together .”
They discussed the countermeasures and exchanged codes in a secret way. After Shan Zuo handed over several instruments and measuring instruments to them, they dispersed.
Maduna's seconds had counted to two hundred.
Even on the second floor, his voice could be clearly heard echoing in the space, presumably it was some trick of the devil.
This old castle is very large, the rooms on the second floor are densely packed one after another, and the space is divided by scattered houses to form twisted roads, like a maze. What's even more strange is that although the castle occupies a large area, it only has two floors. When you look up, you can see the pointed roof.
"There must be a dark room here." Shan Zuo whispered.
They opened the door and entered several rooms in a row. They were all of the same structure. Compared to the gorgeous castle, they were very simple. There were only beds and huge wardrobes in the Bailaiping room, and a separate room was divided as a bathroom. Duan Zhen lifted up the sheet and looked at it, it was high enough to hide a person.
The wardrobe is empty, divided into two layers, the upper layer is relatively narrow, with the kind of solid wood door, if you hide in, you will probably be shrouded in darkness.
In the bathroom is a large washbasin and mirror, facing the door of the bathroom, and further inside is a two-meter-long bathtub, the depth and width of which can accommodate two adults.
After looking at four or five rooms in a row, the count below had reached 500. Duan Zhen stopped in one of them, and after checking carefully with Shan Zuo to make sure there was nothing else in it, one hid under the bed and the other hid in the cabinet .
Shan Zuo supported himself and got into the narrow area above the cabinet. He was thin, but flexible, and it was deep enough for him to curl up and hide in it.
Duan Zhen helped him close the door outside and hid under the bed.
The count outside reached six hundred.
"I'm starting." Maduna said calmly.
Hearst, whom everyone was worried about meeting, was very passive and sabotaged at the moment. He did not participate in the search or hide, but happily went to the top floor of the castle.
He flew up, and as his height increased, he could see a huge hollow about one meter below the tip, as if a house had been hollowed out on the stone wall.
Li Xi was sitting on the edge, and if he moved a little, he would fall from the height of tens of meters or even hundreds of meters, but he did not show a timid look, but looked down at Qing Xing below with a bit of fatigue.
This height is not a problem for him, with his eyesight, he can clearly see every move of the people below.
"I'm sorry." Hurst clasped his hands together: "Because it was so interesting, we couldn't help but intervene. Don't be angry."
Li Xi raised his eyes: "Is it interesting, or do you want to kill Shan Zuo?"
"Of course it's because it's fun." Hearst said categorically without hesitation: "We're still waiting for Shan Zuo to end this game. How could we kill him?"
He flew closer again: "And we've wanted to play peek-a-boo for a long time, but we haven't been able to find anyone. It's inappropriate to play like this in the middle and low-level world, but it's not interesting to lower the difficulty."
Li Xi frowned: "So you want my lover to play with you?"
"It's just a human being." Hurst whispered, "You don't want to turn against us because of him, do you?"
Li Xi's eyes showed a cold look: "Pay attention to your words, if you don't want to destroy this world, don't mention him in that tone."
He looked really angry, and Hester curled his lips: "Okay, I get it, I just don't want to touch him this time in the game."
Anyway, Duan Zhen was not the only interesting person, a dark light flashed in his blue eyes.
"If you have any bad ideas, even if you ruin this place, I will stop them." Li Xi warned him: "I don't care about normal games, but if you make small moves, don't blame me for being rude."
"Of course." Hurst blinked: "We never do small tricks."
He looked down and said with a smile: "I have to go, if they see me flying here, this surprise will be invalidated."
Watching him fly down, Li Xi's gaze sank, he took out a candy from his pocket and swallowed it, the faint mint smell made him feel much relieved, and his frown finally relaxed.
Before entering the world, he really did not expect that Gemini would be involved in this game, and merge their worlds so forcefully. Li Xi's original setting was indeed in this ancient castle, but he didn't play hide-and-seek with the five mirror images. His plan was to let Duan Zhen and the others go through some battles, that is, to fight with the original residents of the ancient castle a few times. You will find the elevator to reach the top of the tower.
Then Li Xi will say that he has cleared the level.
In the end, Gemini got involved and changed the world beyond recognition, but Li Xi was still imprisoned by his own settings, unable to appear without being discovered.
I don't know why he made such a useless setting at the time. This is probably a typical self-deception.
The stupid Li Xiaoxi sighed, leaned against the wall and smashed the candy in his mouth.
I hope Duan Zhen and the others can successfully pass the game of Gemini, at least Shan Zuo and Duan Zhen must not die, one is a shortcut for him to get rid of the main system quickly, and the other is his boyfriend, both of which are indispensable.
Thinking of this, Li Xi frowned, as if he had thought of something terrible, his expression was condensed.
"Probably not." He murmured.
On the other side, Duan Zhen hid under the bed, his muscles tensed, but he intentionally controlled his breathing and heartbeat, keeping them in the slightest state. He stared at the instrument, watching the energy fluctuations on it gradually increase, indicating that a demon king was approaching here.
I don't know if it's Hester or Moduna, Duan Zhen thought, maybe it's Li Xi who hasn't appeared yet.
The fluctuations on the instrument slowly stopped again, as if the other party was moving away. With his sharper hearing after training, he heard the sound of leather shoes stepping on the carpet, and then the sound of going downstairs.
The devil left the second floor.
Duan Zhen glanced at the instrument again, and the value on it changed back to a low value.
But at the same time, he heard the sound of splashing water from the bathroom, as if the faucet had been turned on and water was spraying out.
Duan Zhen held his weapon and amulet in his hand—whether it was caused by the aborigines or not, the sound of water would definitely attract Maduna.
