The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"Another group of outsiders, are you going to look for the ancient castle?"

"Oh, that's not a good place to go!"

The cobblestone path spreads all the way upwards. The narrow streets and alleys, with their eaves and corners blocking each other's shadows, make the winding path leading to the distance even more cramped.

There was a drizzle in the town. The dripping raindrops hit the inverted triangle lamp hanging from the eaves, making the lamp, which was connected with a thin iron wire, sway from side to side.

On the dead branch, a crow with black wings was dozing with its eyes closed, and water droplets were quietly sliding down the texture of its feathers.

One foot stepped into the puddle on the road, and the ripples it created startled the crow. The next second, the crow flapped its wings and flew away with a hoarse cry.

An old man in a straw raincoat was walking in the misty alleyway made of gray and black bricks, and ran into a group of strangers who had come from afar. He sighed, stroked his gray beard, and warned them.

Awakened by the old man's words, Qin Jue, who was paused at the entrance of the alley, suddenly came to his senses, looked around, and then looked at himself standing quietly with an umbrella, and realized that he was distracted for a moment and was put into the game by the system.

It was clear that they were still in the misty bathroom a second ago, and the sticky kiss seemed to still echo between their lips.

[The copy <Rose Castle> is now online, please be informed of this to all players present.] The familiar mechanical sound reminded everyone that the game copy was about to be opened again.

"What the hell is this place... Old man, do you know how to get to the castle?" The man was disgusted with being suddenly teleported to a terrible environment. Just as he was about to kick the stones at his feet and curse, his body began to move uncontrollably towards the old man.

He bent over stiffly, forced a stiff smile, and asked politely.

"Alas, another group of people who don't listen to advice... Follow this road, go straight ahead, pass through the dense forest, and you will see a sea of ​​roses in full bloom..."

The old man adjusted his hat, sighed, walked past the few people, and left in the opposite direction.

"Fuck, what the hell...what happened to me just now!" After spending a few bad nights in the interrogation room of the police station, his neatly ironed suit was full of wrinkles, but Qiao Yi Zhong did not think that the shabby environment was worthy of his status.

"This is a game, Mr. Qiao, I advise you to be quiet." The relatively young man rubbed his calloused hands.

Made by an unskilled surgeon, the artificially cut double eyelids look a little unnatural when the eyes are open. The sclera in the eyes is more obvious when the eye shape is deliberately changed. When observing the surroundings, there is always a gloomy and fierce look.

"We have all been brought into the game, Brother Wang, what should we do? We won't die here, right..." The one who responded was a man wearing glasses and looking a little weak.

But this bit of weakness was only caused by his slightly flustered expression compared to others.

"We're going to die anyway. We've already been caught. Do you think we can still survive? Why not try our luck in this game?"

Wang Longzhao glanced at the people beside him, and the gloomy mood caused by being captured disappeared. Instead, he quickly adapted to the strange environment, thinking that this was a God-given opportunity to escape the death penalty.

"Qiao Yizhong, it's all your fault. If you hadn't bewitched me, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

The last person to react was a middle-aged man with messy hair. He was obviously pessimistic. When his sight swept across the familiar people, he took two steps forward and started to pull Qiao Yi Zhong.

[Players, please keep quiet and go to the castle to start the main storyline of the game! ]

Before they could start arguing, the movements of several people entangled with each other suddenly stopped, and their bodies became stiff like puppets, moving their hands and feet mechanically.

The four of them walked forward along the cobblestone path with stiff limbs and necks. The scene was a bit weird. Qin Jue, the only one holding an umbrella to avoid the rain, watched for a while, then opened the system interface with an expressionless face.

"System, where is my wife?"

Couldn't you have entered the game a few hours later? Why did you have to be stuck at that time? Was it intentional?

[…Hello, player. The system failed to retrieve any results from the entry.]

"Don't say you don't know. Last time you listened to my wife and sent me a task." Qin Jue was brought in when he was stuck in between two situations. He felt inexplicably annoyed. He saw that the system was playing Tai Chi and directly exposed the other party.

[You rude fellow, I don't want You Mu to pay attention to you! Just wait!] Tian Dao couldn't pretend anymore. He was busy to begin with, and he took the time out of his busy schedule to pay attention to the protagonist. Not only did he not hear the other party call him dad, but his disguise was also exposed!

Shaking its head, it closed the dialog box angrily.

"..." The pop-up window was forcibly closed, and Qin Jue was silent for a while, but fortunately from the other party's words, he could roughly guess that the relationship between the system and his wife seemed to be very good.

His wife should still be there in this copy. Otherwise, the system wouldn't subconsciously say "ignore him".

After confirming that the people were still there, Qin Jue instantly felt motivated to continue the game. He walked along the street with an umbrella, following the receding figures.

Following the instructions of the NPC who was giving them directions, they walked through the long streets and alleys, passed through the woods piled with dead branches and rotten wood, and uncovered the dead leaves. They saw the sea of ​​roses growing all over the mountains and fields, coexisting with the tilted and twisted broken tombstones.

And at the end of the sea of ​​flowers, there is a dilapidated castle standing alone on the hillside.
