Into the infinite game to write pit text
Chapter 71
Several wall lamps on the wall of the castle suddenly lit up together, and the warm yellow light looked like a candle if you didn't look carefully.
But these lights made this place look even more eerie and weird.
Xu Shu withdrew his foot that had just stepped up the steps, leaned sideways on the edge of the wall in the middle of the stairs, and looked around several times with extremely vigilant eyes.
After about ten seconds, the sound of light footsteps came from the basement below.
It sounded like someone was going upstairs.
It shouldn't be that he ran into a ghost as soon as he came in, right? He didn't even have time to do one thing, and of course it was unlikely to trigger a taboo, so don't worry too much for the time being.
Thinking of this, Xu Shu felt relaxed, and simply retreated down the stairs and stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at the stairs leading to the basement.
The strange thing is that there is a wall lamp on the wall next to it, but the light seems to be blocked by something at the stairway, and not even a trace of it goes down.
Looking from Xu Shu's side, he could only see a few stairs above extending into the darkness below.
Under such circumstances, the sound of footsteps coming from the darkness seemed a bit intrusive.
He couldn't help but took two steps back, for fear that a monster would suddenly appear from below and stick to his face in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, this waiting process is not long.
As the footsteps gradually increased, a figure gradually appeared on the dark stairs.
Starting from the head, the figure was revealed segment by segment.
Blonde curly hair, deep-set eye sockets, light blue eyes, and a high nose bridge all show Xu Shu that he is a "foreign friend".
And seemed to be a very well-bred gentleman.
He was wearing a well-tailored black suit, and his gestures seemed to be precisely measured, and every movement was so just right.
Even seeing him in such a weird environment, Xu Shu couldn't help feeling somewhat pleasing to the eye for his elegance.
With a proper smile on the corner of the man's mouth, he slowly walked up the steps under his gaze, paused, and stopped at the stairs.
"Welcome to you, my most honored guest."
He saluted very naturally, and after saying this, he kept that perfect smile like a dummy, and looked at Xu Shu quietly, as if waiting for a response.
Xu Shu thought for a while and asked, "You are the master here"
"Yes," he said, "you can call me Arvid."
He looked very gentle, and he didn't feel confused or angry because of Xu Shu's weird question. After all, he was standing in someone else's house, and he didn't know who the owner was, which was too suspicious.
Since there was no negative reaction, Xu Shu continued to ask, "Then what is this place?"
Hearing this, the other party gave a low laugh, stretched out his hands suddenly, and looked behind him, "I'm honored to be able to introduce this place to you. It's an ancient castle where three generations of vampire masters have lived."
Xu Shu picked out his ears, "You said vampires"
Speaking of which, do vampires count as ghosts? It seems that they should not be counted.
"Oh, don't worry," Avid smiled lightly, "It's been a hundred years ago, and now the owner of this castle is me. Although I very much hope to become a real vampire, unfortunately, I'm still human to this day."
It's not really unfortunate.
At least for Xu Shu, he felt relieved when he heard what he said.
At least now you don't have to worry about the NPC in front of you suddenly turning into a big bat to suck all his blood.
"Why stand here and talk?" Avid made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "how about sitting down and talking?"
Xu Shu nodded, walking towards the sofa chair in the living room, while silently thinking about the questions he needed to ask now.
After he was seated, he immediately asked, "Excuse me, why did I come to your house?"
Avid sat on his left side with an elegant posture. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I published a message in the newspaper three days ago, hoping that someone would be willing to stay here. You are one of the applicants."
Did he answer such an extremely strange question so calmly?
But "one of the applicants" Xu Shu asked, "Is there another applicant?"
Avid was startled, and then said, "No, more than one. Well, I remember that there were a lot of people, there should be ten people, but you are the only one who came to the appointment."
Does this mean that he is the only one who is stupid?
Xu Shu thought to himself, if he really saw such a strange piece of news in the newspaper, he would definitely think that the person who published it had some purpose, and would never come to this ghostly place like the characters in this plot ah.
Also, Avid just said that there are ten people in total. Does it mean that the five groups of other players happen to be ten people? This number should not be a coincidence.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen anyone else so far.
The game task this time is "Solving the Castle Puzzle". To ensure fairness, all five groups of players should be the same.
It would make sense if the five groups were placed in different spaces in the same scene as a group of two, but how come Xu Shu hasn't even seen his teammates yet.
The time to enter the game is not short, no matter how big the castle is, such a long period of time is enough for that person to come over.
He had doubts about this at first, but now he heard this NC named Ai Weide say "Only you will go to the appointment", he couldn't help but feel even more uneasy.
What does it mean that he is the only one? Could it be that he is the only guest here, and there is no other player at all.
But isn't this a two-person match? The rules of the game are not to put ten players in different scenes, and then decide the winner based on each player's individual game performance.
No no.
Because it is mentioned in the rules, this time the winning group has two groups of "shortest time" and "best tacit understanding".
The shortest time makes sense, as long as the game time of two people in the same group is added up.
But the best tacit understanding doesn't make any sense in a single-player game where the players are separated.
Since there is a need for tacit understanding, it means that there must be things that need to be coordinated between members of the same group.
So Xu Shu thought that his teammates should be here.
But what about people?
"Is the guest tired?" Avid looked at Xu Shu with concern with blue eyes like the sky, and said, "How about I send you to the guest room to rest for a while?"
Xu Shu came back to his senses and shook his head, "I still have a question to ask you, is there anyone else in this castle besides the two of us, especially the outsiders who came here around the same time as me."
Avid almost didn't hesitate, and immediately replied, "No, no more. You know, I am passionate about vampires, and vampires are destined to be lonely. Before you came, this castle was my coffin alone."
Is this a middle school boy?
Xu Shu was overwhelmed by the aura of the middle school, so he didn't know how to react for a moment, and after a while he said, "I'm really sorry, we have to squeeze into the same coffin."
Avid seemed to be amused by him, he lowered his head and covered his mouth and twitched his shoulders a few times, and when he raised his head again, he had a standard perfect smile, "Anyway, it's been hard work for the guests to come all the way, so let me first Let me take you to the guest room for a short rest."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and stood sideways quietly waiting for Xu Shu to get up.
Xu Shu didn't want to go back to any guest room at all, he just wanted to wander around the castle first.Let's not talk about finding another player, at least we can look at the environment and find clues.
However, Avid had asked him to go to the guest room twice, because he didn't know if it would trigger any problems, so he couldn't refuse straight away, so he had to stand up.
Xu Shu had seen the layout of the first floor before, and there was no doubt that the guest room was on the second floor.
Avid went up the stairs first, turned his body slightly, and looked back at Xu Shu after taking two steps.
Whenever he turned his head, the standard smiling face would zoom in briefly, looking warm and friendly.
Because of the high living room on the first floor, the first thing Xu Shu saw after walking up to the second floor was the black railing in front of him.
There are complicated patterns carved on it, and there are three-dimensional black bats every other distance.
It hangs upside down on the railing so vividly that it looks like the real thing at first glance.
If you look down from here, you can have a panoramic view of everything in the living room at a glance.
Xu Shu turned his head and took a look, and saw that there was an upward staircase next to the stairs on the second floor. Obviously, the second floor was not the highest floor of this place.
Following Avid, he couldn't help asking, "How many floors is this castle in total?"
"Four floors upstairs, one floor below." Avid answered without reservation, then stopped in front of a closed door, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and said to Xu Shu, "This is what I prepared in advance." Guest room, I hope everything can satisfy the guests.”
There was only simple furniture in the room, but it was a little too tidy.
When Xu Shu looked at it, the first thing that came to mind was the pile of tofu cubes in the army.
Of course, there is no tofu in it, but just like that, it gave him a feeling of "although it looks well-organized, it is cold and lifeless".
"Then, don't bother me." Avid took two steps back, "I'm just downstairs, if the guests need anything, just come to me."
After he finished speaking, he turned and went downstairs.
Standing at the door, Xu Shu stared at his back that was gradually going away and disappeared in the stairwell. He wondered what the words meant. He didn't seem to restrict his actions. Then, could he just stay outside without going into the guest room to rest? walking around
But since we're all at the door, it's better to go in and have a look first, maybe the first clue is hidden here.
He walked in after thinking about it, and closed the door behind him.
But these lights made this place look even more eerie and weird.
Xu Shu withdrew his foot that had just stepped up the steps, leaned sideways on the edge of the wall in the middle of the stairs, and looked around several times with extremely vigilant eyes.
After about ten seconds, the sound of light footsteps came from the basement below.
