The Trial Game of Life

"Miss! Miss Yu, look here! There are still people inside!" Qi Hui began to pat on the window, shouting anxiously.But no matter how he shouted, the girl in the red dress never looked back at him.

Qi Hui shouted until his throat became dry, and his hands hurt from clapping. He turned around and saw that Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng were gone.

In an instant, his hair stood on end.

Qi Hui hurried to look for them, shouting their names loudly. Just when he thought he was left behind, Tang Cuo poked his head out from the kitchen and looked at him expressionlessly.

Qi Hui immediately fell silent, and Tang Cuo turned back.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Hui regained his composure and followed.Unexpectedly, as soon as he followed, Tang Cuo turned around and said, "Keep shouting."

Don't, please let me follow you, big brother!

"Go." With one word from the boss, the younger brother can only obey.

Qi Hui returned to the window tremblingly, and looked back at Tang Cuo several times, with such reluctance and nostalgia that Jin Cheng, who had just come out of the housekeeper's room, couldn't help but sneer.

"Tsk." With such a soft sound, Qi Hui was so frightened that he wished he could lie on the window and dare not look at it again.Weak, pitiful, and helpless, he could only continue to call out to Miss Yu outside the window.

"Miss! Miss, please open the door!"

You have the ability to pour fuel, and you have the ability to open the door!

Only then did Jin Cheng let him go, and met Tang Cuo who had come out of the kitchen, and said, "Someone wrote with chalk on the housekeeper's small blackboard."

Tang Cuo raised his eyebrows, and immediately followed Jin Cheng to look over, only to find that the blackboard that should have been covered with dust had been wiped carelessly.It's not very clean, but it can be seen that the words on it are newly written——

【twenty

Everything will end]

June 1936, 6 is undoubtedly today's date. Does "all shall end" refer to this end of "the attic occupant died and burned in the mansion"?

"This handwriting is a bit delicate. It's not like the one in the attic, but more like the lady outside the door." Jin Cheng had seen the handwriting of the attic resident, because in 1926, there were fragments of music scores written by him on the wall of the attic. Arabic numerals are written differently.

"This proves that Miss has also come in." Tang Cuo stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Ten years after the Miemen massacre, the two survivors returned to the Yu Mansion.One died peacefully, and the other wrote the epilogue and ran outside the door to set fire to it.

The point is, these two seem to be back together.

Jin Cheng folded his arms and leaned against the still clean door, and asked, "Who do you think raised Miss all these years?"

The answer to this question is somewhat obvious, and Tang Cuo did not answer.Now that time is running out, they can't help but stop and reason slowly, "The door to Madam and Miss's room has not been opened yet. Currently, there are four known time-spaces, and one or two keys can be found in each time-space, so it should be possible here. "

In 1924, Tang Cuo found the keys to the basement and Yu Wangyue's room there.

In 1926, the key to the study and the small door of the study was found.

What about 1936?According to the rules of this dungeon, there should be some gains.

Also, in 1924, Tang Cuo got five keys from the butler's key chain.Three locks for the attic, one for the basement, and where is the other for?

"Is there no butler's keychain here?" Tang Cuo asked.

"It was taken away." Jin Cheng had already checked the place where the keychain was originally hung, and there was a little dust missing there, which proved that things had been hung before but had just been taken away.

Tang Cuo instantly thought of the keys on the lady's waist.

But this is not right.

The keys on the keychains in 1924 and 1926 are different because the butler was still alive in these two years.While the butler is alive, it is reasonable for the keys on the keychain to change.

But the butler had died in 1926, and there shouldn't have been any changes in the ten years the key hung there.In other words, the bunch of keys that the lady got should be the one that Jin Cheng got in 1926.

Three correspond to the attic lock, and one corresponds to the small door of the study.

"Go to the study." Tang Cuo made a decisive decision.

Jin Cheng had a good understanding with him, as soon as he said to go to the study, he immediately understood what he meant.Still following the method last time, Tang Cuo went straight to the study, and Jin Cheng was responsible for keeping the ghosts at bay.

In the study, except for some dust, everything is the same as in 1926.

Tang Cuo went straight to the small door, went around to the bed and saw the maid's bones, which were no different from before.He looked around, trying to find traces left by the young lady, but found nothing.

Did the lady take the keychain just to help the attic residents unlock the attic door?

Tang Cuo didn't believe it, and continued to search. After a while, he finally remembered what he had missed - Yu Wangnian's diary!

Before the maidservant died, she saw Yu Wangnian's diary, and the diary was stained with her blood, so only a few pages were clearly visible.But what about the diary now?

Items in different time and space will not disappear in the next time and space just because they were taken away by the player in the previous time and space.The diary is gone, it can only be taken away by NPC.

But what did the NPC do with a blood-tainted diary?It's the contents of the diary that are not covered by blood. Is there any key information?

Just at this moment, Qi Hui shouted from outside the door: "She's looking at her watch again! I think she's about to start a fire, what should I do?!"

Hearing this, Tang Cuo immediately stepped out and met Jin Cheng in the corridor.

The two met each other, their eyes intertwined, and then ran to the attic together.The madam's ghost was chasing after her. She might have been irritated by Jin Cheng's repeated provocations, and she became more and more fierce, exhaling a cold ghostly air that almost blew on the back of Tang Cuo's neck.

"Let's go first!" Jin Cheng gave him a push, and when he turned around, there was a handful of incense ashes, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

But the incense ash only has the function of deterrent. Facing a ghost like Madam, it works once, but twice is not enough.Yu Wangyue was gone on the second floor, and Madam seemed to run away more easily, her eyes were red, her nails were sharp, and her low growls pierced the eardrums.

At this time, the two had reached the stairs leading to the attic, Tang Cuo walked forward without looking back, while Jin Cheng stepped on the handrail of the stairs, turned around neatly, and the small harp in his arms made melodious sounds.

"Boom-"

A spiritual attack like a sound wave is like a substance when facing a spiritual body like a ghost.The lady was hit head-on, and her whole body retreated several meters, her expression was painful, and she became more hysterical.

She rushed up again, but at this time Tang Cuo had already opened the attic door. The moment the door opened, he turned sideways to let Jin Cheng in, and then raised his hand with a small fireball, hitting his wife in the face.

"Ah!!" Madam covered her face, caught off guard.

At the same time, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng had already entered the door. Although the door couldn't stop the ghosts, there were Yu Wangyue and the residents in the attic inside, so they were not afraid of his wife breaking in again.

The two ignored the ghosts in the house, walked quickly to the window, and looked down.

The young lady was still standing in the wide weed-grown courtyard, with an empty oil drum at her feet, and she was still holding a pocket watch in her hand.The distance was too far, the two couldn't see her expression clearly, they saw her looking at the mansion quietly, standing alone.

Jin Cheng: "She is hesitating."

Tang Cuo: "I have concerns."

Jin Cheng: "Do you think she really can't hear us?"

Tang Cuo: "Then cheat her."

Just do it.

Jin Cheng smiled slightly, and a ghost idea immediately came to his mind, he knocked hard on the window glass, and shouted downstairs: "Hey, the beautiful lady downstairs, the one in the attic is not dead yet, he's alive again, you want Come up and take a look?"

The lady didn't respond, let alone look up.But Tang Cuo stared at her well, and still saw a trace of stiffness from her - she heard it.

Jin Cheng continued: "It seems that he is destined to die with us, but - we will all be burned to death, how can we let him die too easily? Detective, are you right?"

Tang Cuo reluctantly cooperated and said, "Yes."

Jin Cheng suddenly found it interesting, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Tang Cuo: "Listen to you."

Hearing this sentence from Tang Cuo, Jin Cheng was really flattered, even though he knew it was just to bluff people.

"How about it." Jin Cheng rolled his eyes and had an idea, "It's better to kill him with the gun used for Wangnian, isn't there bullet in that gun?"

Yu Wangnian, as the young lady's father, let her daughter live in such a depressing cage since childhood. Does the young lady hate him?Jin Cheng thought it was hate.

Madam has been ill in bed all year round, so the care Miss can get from her mother must be greatly reduced, and her father is such a man with extreme desire for control.

She couldn't learn piano freely, couldn't have a normal family, and even witnessed the massacre of her family.

Hate is bound to hate.

And what kind of emotion does she have towards the attic tenant?

There are too few clues, Jin Cheng can't make an accurate judgment, but he will know the answer soon, because the young lady suddenly looked up at him.

There was anger in her eyes.

This confirmed Jin Cheng's conjecture.No matter how complicated the young lady's feelings for the attic tenants are, the positive ones outweigh the negative ones.

Grasping this point, they may be able to contain each other.

However, the cold ghost energy suddenly erupted behind them, and the howling wind could tell them without turning their heads that the ghosts behind them had gone berserk because of their actions.

"Wow." While Jin Cheng sighed, he quickly protected Tang Cuo behind his back, before he could take out the little harp, he bit the tip of his tongue, and a burst of characters bloomed from the tip of his tongue.

The powerful sound waves spread like a halo of water, stopping the attacking ghost at the very moment.

Tang Cuo could see clearly that it was the attic resident who went berserk, and his attack power was stronger than his wife's.

The two quickly retreated to the second floor, and Tang Cuo also cast out the sword of judgment.

Although ghosts have no entity and cannot carry out physical attacks, the ruling holy radiance has a suppressing effect on all evil things.Ghosts can't be said to be all evil, but they can't be counted as being of the light camp.

Unfortunately, although Madam did not catch up to the attic, she has been wandering the corridors on the second floor.There is also a ghoul in the toilet at the end of the corridor near the stairs.

When they go down at this time, it can be said that they are attacking back and forth, and they cannot avoid it.

With just one glance, Tang Cuo had a basic judgment on the current situation, and asked quickly, "Can you bring them together?"

Jin Cheng stood back to back with him, "Of course."

After finishing speaking, the two quickly separated.One rushed forward with strides, while the other was slightly behind. When the attic residents were about to catch up, they suddenly stopped and turned back.

The one who turned back was naturally Tang Cuo. He used a skill that was rewarded by the system but hadn't been used until now-air walk.

【Sky Walk·Elementary】

Category: Skills

Quality: Normal

Description: Stay in the air for 1 second, cooldown time is 1 minute.

Tang Cuo jumped up on the wall with his strength, relying on that second of time in the air, he hung upside down on the right angle between the ceiling and the wall, swung his sword, and hit the attic resident towards Jin Cheng from behind.

A second later, he landed gracefully.

The attic resident wanted to turn around and hit him, but Jin Cheng's attack also arrived, attracting even more hatred.

Jin Cheng's ability to attract monsters has always been the best in Eternal Night City, no matter what dungeon, there is no hatred that he cannot attract.At this time, the three ghosts were chasing him, one more powerful than the other, and the attic resident was even a big boss. His whole body was filled with ghostly aura, covering the sight of both of them.

The entire corridor was filled with palpitating darkness.

The cries of ghosts were accompanied by the chilly wind, making the hair stand on end.

Tang Cuo's face was slightly serious, but he was still calm because his companion was Jin Cheng.He only needs to call out Jin Cheng's name, and he will know what he thinks.

"Jin Cheng!"

"coming."

In less than five seconds, that familiar voice rushed out of the thick black with a sliding shovel.

Tang Cuo rushed forward with his sword, and the two passed by each other, one advancing and the other retreating, completing the exchange in an instant.Then, Tang Cuo activated the holy light shield, and the transparent shield exuded a strong holy light, instantly illuminating the corridor.

The light was dazzling, and the ghosts subconsciously stretched out their hands to cover it, with rare panic showing in their eyes.

effective.

15 seconds of shield, every second is precious.Tang Cuo moved forward decisively, forcing the three ghosts to retreat again and again, and just as they retreated past the stairs, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng immediately turned around—go downstairs!

Walk down the stairs, five seconds left.

There was still a ghost on the first floor, so Tang Cuo simply avoided it, used his shield to open the way, and rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room at an extremely fast speed, which surprised Qi Hui with his mouth wide open.

Jin Cheng silently stood between the two of them again, and glanced at Qi Hui indifferently, scaring them away.

"Big brother, outside the house..." Qi Hui was deeply terrified.

"Don't worry, she won't light the fire for the time being." Jin Cheng's tone was firm.He glanced out the window, and was meeting the young lady's eyes, so he raised his eyebrows with a naughty smile, his face full of provocation.

If you want to keep Miss in check, you have to figure out a very important setting in the dungeon——whether a living NPC can see a ghost or not.

Miss can't see the ghost of the attic resident, so naturally she can't judge his life or death.And judging from various signs such as they are still offering incense and offering sacrifices in the basement, the living NPCs should be invisible.

Jin Cheng looked at Tang Cuo again, "What did you gain in the study?"

Tang Cuo: "Yu Wangnian's diary was taken away."

Jin Cheng: "Do you still remember what was written on it?"

Tang Cuo: "Of course."

Jin Cheng: "Perfect."

A photographic memory is the basic quality of a detective, even if he is third-rate.
