Nightmare Illustrated Collection Record [Unlimited Stream]
Chapter 27 Deep Sea Ritual Town (6)
The woods are the same as the small town of Solari. You can’t see any starry sky or moon at night, but because of the glowing moss on the trees and the ground, you can see some things clearly.
The three missing players were tied to stone pillars, motionless and dead.
Chi Xi covered her mouth and asked softly, "Brother Yin, are we going to save them?"
Si He was afraid that Si Cheng couldn't help but rush forward, and held Si Cheng's arm tightly: "They don't know whether they are dead or alive, so they can't take risks."
Si Cheng shook his arms impatiently: "Count."
Yin Luming glanced back and forth between the stone pillars, frowned and said, "Thirteen."
There are thirteen pillars in total, and the pillar in the middle is extraordinarily thick and tall.Players tied to the other three pillars also face the middle one.
Mi Ampere rubbed his hands and looked at the tumbling insects in the middle in fear: "How many insects must there be? Wouldn't we be dead if we swarmed up?"
"Shh!"
Yin Luming suddenly whispered, "Something is coming."
In the dim light of the moss, a stiff monster emerged from the group of monsters, screamed at the pillar a few times, and then fell to the ground with a loud crash.
The monster was also wearing a mud-stained maid skirt.
The other monsters seemed to have received some orders, and they swarmed up and tore up their companions' bodies and swallowed them.
Then one jumped out from the group of monsters, climbed to the middle of the group of stone pillars, and let out a low growl.
A pitch-black tentacle with mucus suddenly protruded from the stone pillar, and quickly bounced towards the monster!
Chi Xi covered her mouth instantly, showing an expression of wanting to vomit.
It turned out that the black surface of the stone pillar just now was not the color of the stone, but another monster!
Lei Yingzhe never said that there were tentacle monsters before!Did the tentacle monster not appear during the day or did Lei Yingzhe hide it?
The monster on the stone pillar quickly killed the bug-like monster in the mud with its tentacles, and then more tentacles entangled around, surrounding the monster's corpse.
Ten seconds later, the tentacles were released, and there was only a maid with a big waist and a round waist left on the spot.
The players hiding in the woods and peeping instantly understood where the maids in the manor came from.
When they thought that the things they usually ate and the towels they used came from the hands of these monsters, they wanted to spit them out on the spot.
The newborn maid walked towards the woods with stiff steps, while other monsters burrowed into the ground, and everything returned to calm.
The players staggered their bodies tacitly to make room for the maid to return to the manor unharmed.
The other players subconsciously looked at Yin Luming.
Yin Luming turned his head to look at Si Cheng: "Borrow me a knife."
Si Cheng raised his eyebrows, but still drew a dagger from his waist: "Be careful."
Yin Luming weighed the weight of the dagger, and aimed at the stone pillar closest to them—that stone pillar was also wrapped in black tentacles, and there was also a disgusting tentacle monster inhabiting it.
He slammed the dagger at the stone pillar!
"Ding!"
The sharp dagger directly pierced the tentacles and nailed them to the hard stone pillar!
The tentacles on that stone pillar danced wildly in mid-air in an instant!
However, in just a moment, it fell powerlessly, turning into a puddle of black water and seeping into the soil.
Seemingly not expecting this to happen, the tentacle monsters on the other pillars and the players behind Yin Luming froze for a moment.
This tentacle monster...is unexpectedly very fragile?
The other tentacle monsters danced their tentacles wildly, seemingly screaming silently.
The soil under the pillar began to roll again, as if the bugs from before were mobilized together.
The tentacles climbed down from the pillar and disappeared into the dark night in a blink of an eye.
The worms swooped towards the players.
The players turned and ran without hesitation.
Just kidding, with so many monsters, whoever gets on them will die!
……
Running out of the range of the forest, Chi Xi gasped and said submissively, "Brother Yin, you are amazing!"
Killed that tentacle monster in one go!
Yin Luming said flatly: "It's not strong."
Turning to Si Cheng, he said, "The dagger will pay you later."
Si Cheng didn't care about a dagger: "I'll give it to you. That monster should be inclined to control and sneak attack, it must be very fragile in reality. Otherwise, the first thing after being attacked would not be to run away. It is enough to meet them alone and snipe from a long distance. "
Mi Ampere admired: "Xiaocheng, you know a lot."
Si Cheng's face darkened: "Don't call me that."
"Xiaocheng, Xiaocheng, Xiaocheng..."
Si Cheng: "...Are you courting death?"
Si He looked at Yin Luming like a monster.
Si Cheng has researched on the analysis of monsters' weaknesses. He has spent points to exchange for relevant information, and they have also gone through many dreams to accumulate the current knowledge.
Judging from Chi Xi's words, this is Yin Luming's second dream, and he can see the tentacle monster's weakness at a glance...
Other players also killed some chasing bug monsters on the way to escape. Although their expressions were very excited, some people were worried: "Aren't we going to face the attack of the maid now when we go back?"
Yin Luming said: "It's better to strike first."
"what?"
Yin Luming pointed to the woods behind him: "I have killed the living, so what are the dead afraid of?"
The players suddenly woke up like a dream—yes, those maid monsters are disgusting, but they are just controlled corpses.They even killed even more ferocious real monsters, so why are they afraid of maids?
……
two hours later.
The players searched almost all the first floor of the manor and captured all the maid monsters.
Knowing the characteristics of monsters, it is much easier to catch monsters after targeted ambushes.
Under the command of Yin Luming, everyone stuffed all the maid monsters into the room of the player who disappeared on the first day, and then smeared the smelly sewage on the door of that room.The other players from the town faction who didn't go out tonight couldn't help but open the door and come out to help.
There are about a dozen maid monsters in the manor, which is more than enough to be tied up in one room.
Mi Ampei waved the mop enthusiastically, and painted a pattern on the door grandly.
Chi Xi asked inexplicably: "What did you draw?"
"Tauren!" Mi Ampei raised his chin triumphantly, "This year is the Year of the Ox, and it is our victory for the Tauren!"
Chi Xi: "..."
Si Cheng stood at the door with his arms folded, seemingly disappointed: "Is this the end?"
Si He said: "It's the best result if no one has an accident. Let's wait until tomorrow to see if these monsters will disappear."
A player sighed softly: "Hey, thanks to you, I can sleep well tonight."
"It's mainly Brother Yin." Mi Ampei waved his hand modestly, and turned around for a moment, "Hey, where is Brother Yin?"
Chi Xi sighed helplessly: "He went back to sleep."
……
Yin Luming was lying on the bed, but his eyes were wide open.
After a while, he suddenly said, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Lou floated out slowly, looked at Yin Luming with some surprise: "What's wrong?"
This was the first time Yin Lumeng called him in the night state.
Yin Luming calmly described: "I seem to be hallucinating."
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows and took a closer look, only to notice that Yin Lumeng's eyes were a little loose.
"The venom has a slightly hallucinogenic effect." Shen Lou lightly covered Yin Lumen's forehead with his palm, felt it for a moment, then withdrew his hand, "My current strength is not enough to completely cure you."
Yin Luming frowned, then let go, pursed his lips and said nothing.
"When did you start hallucinating?"
Yin Luming was silent for a moment: "After arriving at the stone pillar."
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Doesn't this mean that Yin Luming was in a state of hallucinations during the process of observing the situation, killing the tentacle monster with a dagger, fleeing back to the manor, and dealing with the maid?
"It was weak at first, just some phantom interference, and then it became more serious." Yin Lumeng's voice was still steady and cold, "How long will it take for the hallucinations to disappear?"
"A few hours."
Yin Luming stopped talking.
Shen Lou sat lightly beside the bed, looking at Yin Luming who was in the hallucination.
Now Yin Luming obviously can't see things in reality, his eyes lose focus but stubbornly refuse to close them, his slender eyelashes move occasionally, his beautiful face is indifferent, but the whole gives people an extremely attractive fragility feel.
Of course, Shen Lou knew that this was just an illusion of Yin Luming's appearance.If someone attacked now, he would definitely hammer the opponent into a rag doll without hesitation.
Shen Lou smiled and said: "Then I would like to ask you, what hallucination are you seeing right now? Rolling around on a [-]-square-meter bed in rabbit pajamas, with a bunch of dolls in your arms?"
——The more dangerous the tiger, the more interesting it is to stroke its beard.
Yin Luming's voice was as cold as Shi Jianquan's: "Do you want to die?"
Shen Lou continued to ask with interest: "Did you see me?"
Yin Luming said: "Yes."
Shen Lou raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"I saw you turned into a talkative crow, pierced by a hunter's arrow because of your chatter."
Shen Lou nodded: "So you saw yourself hunting. Then you..."
Yin Luming said abruptly: "How many illustrated books do I need to cure my insomnia?"
"Want to use sleep to avoid hallucinations?"
"No, I just don't want to work with you anymore."
Shen Lou was not angry, and said with a smile: "That's a pity—it's still very early."
Yin Luming took a deep breath and decided not to talk to him anymore, lest he really couldn't suppress his anger and tear down the whole house.
"Next time something like this happens, I allow you to seek my help."
Yin Luming said: "How can you help me?"
Shen Lou stretched out his hand to Yin Luming's shoulder.
Then Yin Luming suddenly felt his right arm move by itself, as if the whole body didn't belong to him.
Yin Luming concentrated and regained control of his arms.
Shen Lou withdrew his hand: "I promise to be better than you."
Yin Luming covered his arms and was silent for a while: "The upper body of the ghost?"
"Personally, I don't suggest you call me by this name." Shen Loudao, "Although I am magnanimous, it is inevitable that I will be a little displeased."
Yin Luming let out a "huh" from his throat.
"As long as you don't resist, I can manipulate your body to do anything." Shen Lou's voice suddenly brought a smile, "For example, I can change your pajamas for you now—I think that rabbit outfit is good. "
Yin Luming: "..."
He pulled the quilt over his head and said coldly, "Sleep."
……
After the sun rose the next day, not a single player was missing.
The maid monsters thrown into room 12 by the players yesterday all disappeared.
Of course, one of the consequences is that no one brings them breakfast.
When Yin Luming went out, he saw Mi Ampere clutching his stomach pitifully: "I'm so hungry, where can I get something to eat?"
Brothers Si and Si Cheng walked over from the other side: "We are going to go to the kitchen to have a look, are you going?"
"Hey, if I see that the kitchen here is full of rotten meat and maggots, I will definitely spit out yesterday's meal..." Mi Ampere struggled for a while, but still made up his mind, "But let's go and have a look."
Unexpectedly, the kitchen of Solari Manor was exceptionally clean, the water in the tank was also very clear, and the baked bread was wrapped in clean oiled paper and neatly placed on the cabinet.
Many players have come to look for food, and Mi Ampere quickly grabbed two large loaves of bread, broke them and divided them: "Hey, although the maid monster is quite disgusting, what shall we eat in the future?"
Yin Luming took a bite of the bread: "Dreams won't starve us to death."
Players who come early have bread to fill their stomachs, and players who come late will only have an empty stomach.
They were just about to go out to find something to eat, when the radio hanging in the hall of the manor suddenly rang:
[The main task of the first stage is completed, three players died, and seventeen players survived. 】
[Start the main task of the second stage: collect sacrifices. 】
[Task Reward: You can get 2 points for each sacrifice you collect. 】
"What sacrifice?"
Just when the players were wondering, Madam Solari, who never appeared during the day, stood at the stairs on the second floor.
She was dressed very formally today, with a small top hat with blue tail feathers on her head, and clean silk gloves on her hands.
"Dear children, I'm glad you're all still healthy." Madam Solari had a kind smile on her beautiful face, "Are you happy in Solari Manor these days?"
No player responded.
After the test that the maids are all monsters, no one wants to guess what kind of monster body lies under Mrs. Solari's gorgeous long dress.
"After three days of preparation, the basic preparations for the sacrifice are finally completed." Mrs. Solari smiled, "It's time to need your help—the number of precious sacrifices for the Sunfish God is not enough, and we need you Help collect enough offerings."
Lei Yingzhe's voice sounded from the crowd: "Madam, what is the sacrifice?"
"Sacrificing to the Fish God naturally requires fish." Madam Solari clapped her palms. "The sacrifices that the Fish God needs are not so expensive fish, but fish that are attracted by your pure and honest hearts and healthy and vigorous lives."
She pointed to the butler beside her, "As you can see, the residents of the town are already old. They have only prepared three sacrifices in the past few days, and it takes thirteen points to sacrifice the fish god. Ten parts, please everyone."
"Then, Ma'am, how should we catch this kind of fish?"
"There are some old fishermen in the town, you can ask them for advice." Madam Solari smiled, "It's just that they may be stubborn, so be careful."
The players who chose the townsman faction were a little eager to try.
Madam Solari said a few more words of courtesy before leaving calmly.
Mi Ampei bit the bread: "Isn't this way of finding sacrifices too stream-of-consciousness?"
Yin Luming said indifferently: "Actually, it's easy to understand—the sacrifice is the player."
The three sacrifices that have been found are actually the three players who are now tied to the stone pillar.
According to the judgment of the system, they are already dead.
Those who have been to the woods last night actually have similar guesses, and their faces are not very good-looking.
If they guessed right, it meant that they had to die ten more people—that is, only seven survived in the end.
When the players looked at each other, they were full of caution and suspicion, and no one wanted to be a stepping stone for others to pass the level.
Suddenly there was a familiar quarrel from the side door of the hall, and when Yin Luming passed by, only Si He's gloomy face and Si Cheng's angrily leaving figure could be seen.
Yin Luming asked: "Are you fighting again?"
Si He's expression softened, he took the bread, and smiled wryly: "He wants to investigate the woods alone... The older the child, the less he will listen to it."
"Xiaocheng is not yet an adult, is he? Children of this age are quite rebellious." Mi Ampere said old-fashionedly, "It would be better if he was older."
Si He sighed: "But this is a nightmare game."
There are mortal crises everywhere, how can there be so many opportunities to pamper Si Cheng?
After a few words of greeting from Si He, he turned around and chased after Si Cheng in the direction where Si Cheng left.
Chi Xi came out from a corner, a little strange: "What's wrong with Si He?"
"Go take care of the kids." Mi Ampere handed him half a piece of bread, "Do you want to eat, Xiaochi?"
Chi Xi was already numb to this title: "You're not older than me, are you?"
He said to Yin Luming, "Brother Yin, Kafu invites those of us who choose the Town People's Faction to have a meal at their gathering place."
Mi Ampei's eyes lit up: "Can you bring your family?"
Chi Xi: "... What kind of family are you?"
"Aren't we two half-brothers?"
"..." Chi Xi said, "I wanted to take Brother Yin, but Kafu said that the townspeople could only send him..."
Yin Luming was not surprised: "It seems that the town folk faction wants some clues."
The conflict between the factions that worship the sun fish god and the deep-sea fish god in this dream should not be aimless, it may be two different exploration routes.
Anyway, Yin Luming didn't think he had to choose a certain faction to break through the level, it was likely that he had to collect information from both sides.
Chi Xi nodded vigorously: "If there is any news, I will come and tell Brother Yin!"
Yin Luming smiled: "Me too, be careful."
……
After Chi Xi left, Mi Ampere excitedly ran out to investigate, and Yin Luming went to the stairs of the manor alone.
"Are you interested in that woman?"
Shen Lou's voice rang in his ears.
"I think Madam Solari is very strange." Yin Luming stepped up to the second floor without hesitation, "I suspect that she and the monster at Shizhu are not in the same group."
Shen Lou asked with interest: "Why?"
"I'm very curious why the monsters at the stone pillars don't come to the manor in person, but want to control the corpses of the hunters. From the perspective of seeking benefits and avoiding disadvantages, there are only two possibilities: first, those tentacle monsters cannot do without the stone pillars; second , there is something in the manor that makes them afraid to come in person."
After he stabbed one dead with a dagger, the rest ran away, indicating that those tentacle monsters could leave the stone pillar.That leaves only one conclusion
"You think it's the second type?"
"The first time I kicked the maid into the second floor, the maid's expression was terrified, and then she ran away." Yin Luming walked to the stairs on the second floor, looked at the gorgeous corridor, and explained in a low voice, "If Mrs. Solari He is their leader, how could they break through the window and escape? It is only possible that Madam Solari is a more powerful existence that they dare not provoke."
There were no other players on the second floor, Shen Lou floated out from the illustrated book, and folded his arms: "And you plan to provoke her now."
"Madame Solari never shows up during the day and keeps playing the violin, maybe that's her limitation."
Yin Luming lifted his backpack and cautiously stepped into the second floor.
The corridor on the second floor is covered with soft velvet carpets, and rows of oil paintings are hung on both sides.The contents of the oil paintings are basically all kinds of jewelry and violins.
There are all kinds of cabinets on both sides of the corridor, and the beautiful jewelries are sealed with glass covers, which are colorful and eye-catching.
Yin Luming squinted at the jewels for a while, then took out the illustrated book and tried it through the glass cover.
There is a response, but it cannot be accepted.
It seems that jewelry is also a monster, and it is estimated that the glass cover must be broken to collect them.
Yin Luming thought for a while, but didn't move for a while, and continued to walk forward.
Yin Luming discerned the direction of the violin sound, turned around several rooms, and came to a small room with a hidden door deep in the corridor.
He glanced cautiously in and saw that the room was empty save for a winding oak staircase.
"The third floor?"
Yin Luming frowned, and after a little thought, he stepped in without hesitation.
Go up the steps and finally reach the attic of the manor.
Although it is an attic, the area is really not small. The walls are dotted with various gemstones, the floor is covered with pure white cashmere blankets, and a violin playing stage is arranged near the bay window.
It wasn't Madame Solari who was playing the violin on stage.
Seven or eight beauties with exquisite faces, half-naked upper body and long fishtail lower body are half floating in the air, each holding a violin, and their white arms gracefully pull the bow, making beautiful melodies one after another.
These mermaids were small, about the size of a five-year-old child, and their foreheads, necks, and wrists were decorated with the same bright gem ornaments as Mrs. Solari.
Yin Luming frowned.
Isn't Madame Solari playing the violin?
He observed these floating mermaids intently, only to realize that the gemstones on their bodies were not ornaments, but were directly inlaid, or grew out of their bodies.
Even their beautiful fish tails are not real fish tails, but pieces of scale lines shining with golden texture, which seem to be some kind of decorations wound up.
Yin Luming thought of Mrs. Solari's body and the jewelry that had never been repeated in the corridor, and his guess became more firm - these jeweled mermaids are the forces controlled by Mrs. Solari, and they are different from the fish monsters before. send someone.
But if Mrs. Solari was not in charge of playing the violin, where did Mrs. Solari herself go?
Yin Luming retreated cautiously, carefully preparing to leave the third floor.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden "clang" sound near the stairs, as if someone had broken something.
Thanks to the sound of the formation, the gem mermaids in the attic on the third floor turned their gazes to the door in unison, and they happened to meet Yin Lumeng.
A fireball of anger and regret lit up in Yin Luming's hand, and his muscles tensed up, ready to run away at any time.
However, the gem mermaids did not attack Yin Luming.The violins in their hands didn't stop, they only opened their mouths to scream, but no sound came out.
Yin Luming turned around without hesitation.
Just when he was about to go downstairs, he paused again, thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and went straight into the attic.
The gem mermaids looked at this unexpected visitor stupidly.
Yin Luming walked to the bay window and opened it——
"What are you doing?"
Madam Solari's soft voice came from behind him.
The three missing players were tied to stone pillars, motionless and dead.
Chi Xi covered her mouth and asked softly, "Brother Yin, are we going to save them?"
Si He was afraid that Si Cheng couldn't help but rush forward, and held Si Cheng's arm tightly: "They don't know whether they are dead or alive, so they can't take risks."
Si Cheng shook his arms impatiently: "Count."
Yin Luming glanced back and forth between the stone pillars, frowned and said, "Thirteen."
There are thirteen pillars in total, and the pillar in the middle is extraordinarily thick and tall.Players tied to the other three pillars also face the middle one.
Mi Ampere rubbed his hands and looked at the tumbling insects in the middle in fear: "How many insects must there be? Wouldn't we be dead if we swarmed up?"
"Shh!"
Yin Luming suddenly whispered, "Something is coming."
In the dim light of the moss, a stiff monster emerged from the group of monsters, screamed at the pillar a few times, and then fell to the ground with a loud crash.
The monster was also wearing a mud-stained maid skirt.

After the sun rose the next day, not a single player was missing.
The maid monsters thrown into room 12 by the players yesterday all disappeared.
Of course, one of the consequences is that no one brings them breakfast.
When Yin Luming went out, he saw Mi Ampere clutching his stomach pitifully: "I'm so hungry, where can I get something to eat?"
Brothers Si and Si Cheng walked over from the other side: "We are going to go to the kitchen to have a look, are you going?"
"Hey, if I see that the kitchen here is full of rotten meat and maggots, I will definitely spit out yesterday's meal..." Mi Ampere struggled for a while, but still made up his mind, "But let's go and have a look."
Unexpectedly, the kitchen of Solari Manor was exceptionally clean, the water in the tank was also very clear, and the baked bread was wrapped in clean oiled paper and neatly placed on the cabinet.
Many players have come to look for food, and Mi Ampere quickly grabbed two large loaves of bread, broke them and divided them: "Hey, although the maid monster is quite disgusting, what shall we eat in the future?"
Yin Luming took a bite of the bread: "Dreams won't starve us to death."
Players who come early have bread to fill their stomachs, and players who come late will only have an empty stomach.
They were just about to go out to find something to eat, when the radio hanging in the hall of the manor suddenly rang:
[The main task of the first stage is completed, three players died, and seventeen players survived. 】
[Start the main task of the second stage: collect sacrifices. 】
[Task Reward: You can get 2 points for each sacrifice you collect. 】
"What sacrifice?"
Just when the players were wondering, Madam Solari, who never appeared during the day, stood at the stairs on the second floor.
She was dressed very formally today, with a small top hat with blue tail feathers on her head, and clean silk gloves on her hands.
"Dear children, I'm glad you're all still healthy." Madam Solari had a kind smile on her beautiful face, "Are you happy in Solari Manor these days?"
No player responded.
After the test that the maids are all monsters, no one wants to guess what kind of monster body lies under Mrs. Solari's gorgeous long dress.
"After three days of preparation, the basic preparations for the sacrifice are finally completed." Mrs. Solari smiled, "It's time to need your help—the number of precious sacrifices for the Sunfish God is not enough, and we need you Help collect enough offerings."
Lei Yingzhe's voice sounded from the crowd: "Madam, what is the sacrifice?"
"Sacrificing to the Fish God naturally requires fish." Madam Solari clapped her palms. "The sacrifices that the Fish God needs are not so expensive fish, but fish that are attracted by your pure and honest hearts and healthy and vigorous lives."
She pointed to the butler beside her, "As you can see, the residents of the town are already old. They have only prepared three sacrifices in the past few days, and it takes thirteen points to sacrifice the fish god. Ten parts, please everyone."
"Then, Ma'am, how should we catch this kind of fish?"
"There are some old fishermen in the town, you can ask them for advice." Madam Solari smiled, "It's just that they may be stubborn, so be careful."
The players who chose the townsman faction were a little eager to try.
Madam Solari said a few more words of courtesy before leaving calmly.
Mi Ampei bit the bread: "Isn't this way of finding sacrifices too stream-of-consciousness?"
Yin Luming said indifferently: "Actually, it's easy to understand—the sacrifice is the player."
The three sacrifices that have been found are actually the three players who are now tied to the stone pillar.
According to the judgment of the system, they are already dead.
Those who have been to the woods last night actually have similar guesses, and their faces are not very good-looking.
If they guessed right, it meant that they had to die ten more people—that is, only seven survived in the end.
When the players looked at each other, they were full of caution and suspicion, and no one wanted to be a stepping stone for others to pass the level.
Suddenly there was a familiar quarrel from the side door of the hall, and when Yin Luming passed by, only Si He's gloomy face and Si Cheng's angrily leaving figure could be seen.
Yin Luming asked: "Are you fighting again?"
Si He's expression softened, he took the bread, and smiled wryly: "He wants to investigate the woods alone... The older the child, the less he will listen to it."
"Xiaocheng is not yet an adult, is he? Children of this age are quite rebellious." Mi Ampere said old-fashionedly, "It would be better if he was older."
Si He sighed: "But this is a nightmare game."
There are mortal crises everywhere, how can there be so many opportunities to pamper Si Cheng?
After a few words of greeting from Si He, he turned around and chased after Si Cheng in the direction where Si Cheng left.
Chi Xi came out from a corner, a little strange: "What's wrong with Si He?"
"Go take care of the kids." Mi Ampere handed him half a piece of bread, "Do you want to eat, Xiaochi?"
Chi Xi was already numb to this title: "You're not older than me, are you?"
He said to Yin Luming, "Brother Yin, Kafu invites those of us who choose the Town People's Faction to have a meal at their gathering place."
Mi Ampei's eyes lit up: "Can you bring your family?"
Chi Xi: "... What kind of family are you?"
"Aren't we two half-brothers?"
"..." Chi Xi said, "I wanted to take Brother Yin, but Kafu said that the townspeople could only send him..."
Yin Luming was not surprised: "It seems that the town folk faction wants some clues."
The conflict between the factions that worship the sun fish god and the deep-sea fish god in this dream should not be aimless, it may be two different exploration routes.
Anyway, Yin Luming didn't think he had to choose a certain faction to break through the level, it was likely that he had to collect information from both sides.
Chi Xi nodded vigorously: "If there is any news, I will come and tell Brother Yin!"
Yin Luming smiled: "Me too, be careful."
……
After Chi Xi left, Mi Ampere excitedly ran out to investigate, and Yin Luming went to the stairs of the manor alone.
"Are you interested in that woman?"
Shen Lou's voice rang in his ears.
"I think Madam Solari is very strange." Yin Luming stepped up to the second floor without hesitation, "I suspect that she and the monster at Shizhu are not in the same group."
Shen Lou asked with interest: "Why?"
"I'm very curious why the monsters at the stone pillars don't come to the manor in person, but want to control the corpses of the hunters. From the perspective of seeking benefits and avoiding disadvantages, there are only two possibilities: first, those tentacle monsters cannot do without the stone pillars; second , there is something in the manor that makes them afraid to come in person."
After he stabbed one dead with a dagger, the rest ran away, indicating that those tentacle monsters could leave the stone pillar.That leaves only one conclusion
"You think it's the second type?"
"The first time I kicked the maid into the second floor, the maid's expression was terrified, and then she ran away." Yin Luming walked to the stairs on the second floor, looked at the gorgeous corridor, and explained in a low voice, "If Mrs. Solari He is their leader, how could they break through the window and escape? It is only possible that Madam Solari is a more powerful existence that they dare not provoke."
There were no other players on the second floor, Shen Lou floated out from the illustrated book, and folded his arms: "And you plan to provoke her now."
"Madame Solari never shows up during the day and keeps playing the violin, maybe that's her limitation."
Yin Luming lifted his backpack and cautiously stepped into the second floor.
The corridor on the second floor is covered with soft velvet carpets, and rows of oil paintings are hung on both sides.The contents of the oil paintings are basically all kinds of jewelry and violins.
There are all kinds of cabinets on both sides of the corridor, and the beautiful jewelries are sealed with glass covers, which are colorful and eye-catching.
Yin Luming squinted at the jewels for a while, then took out the illustrated book and tried it through the glass cover.
There is a response, but it cannot be accepted.
It seems that jewelry is also a monster, and it is estimated that the glass cover must be broken to collect them.
Yin Luming thought for a while, but didn't move for a while, and continued to walk forward.
Yin Luming discerned the direction of the violin sound, turned around several rooms, and came to a small room with a hidden door deep in the corridor.
He glanced cautiously in and saw that the room was empty save for a winding oak staircase.
"The third floor?"
Yin Luming frowned, and after a little thought, he stepped in without hesitation.
Go up the steps and finally reach the attic of the manor.
Although it is an attic, the area is really not small. The walls are dotted with various gemstones, the floor is covered with pure white cashmere blankets, and a violin playing stage is arranged near the bay window.
It wasn't Madame Solari who was playing the violin on stage.
Seven or eight beauties with exquisite faces, half-naked upper body and long fishtail lower body are half floating in the air, each holding a violin, and their white arms gracefully pull the bow, making beautiful melodies one after another.
These mermaids were small, about the size of a five-year-old child, and their foreheads, necks, and wrists were decorated with the same bright gem ornaments as Mrs. Solari.
Yin Luming frowned.
Isn't Madame Solari playing the violin?
He observed these floating mermaids intently, only to realize that the gemstones on their bodies were not ornaments, but were directly inlaid, or grew out of their bodies.
Even their beautiful fish tails are not real fish tails, but pieces of scale lines shining with golden texture, which seem to be some kind of decorations wound up.
Yin Luming thought of Mrs. Solari's body and the jewelry that had never been repeated in the corridor, and his guess became more firm - these jeweled mermaids are the forces controlled by Mrs. Solari, and they are different from the fish monsters before. send someone.
But if Mrs. Solari was not in charge of playing the violin, where did Mrs. Solari herself go?
Yin Luming retreated cautiously, carefully preparing to leave the third floor.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden "clang" sound near the stairs, as if someone had broken something.
Thanks to the sound of the formation, the gem mermaids in the attic on the third floor turned their gazes to the door in unison, and they happened to meet Yin Lumeng.
A fireball of anger and regret lit up in Yin Luming's hand, and his muscles tensed up, ready to run away at any time.
However, the gem mermaids did not attack Yin Luming.The violins in their hands didn't stop, they only opened their mouths to scream, but no sound came out.
Yin Luming turned around without hesitation.
Just when he was about to go downstairs, he paused again, thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and went straight into the attic.
The gem mermaids looked at this unexpected visitor stupidly.
Yin Luming walked to the bay window and opened it——
"What are you doing?"
Madam Solari's soft voice came from behind him.
