Mr hell
Chapter 64 Soul Fire
"Let's go find Carton Kingsley first, and listen to what he asked us to do."
Huai Qi put the sword back into the scabbard, he had become the leader among the three, Gu Qian and Jiang Xiao had no objection to his command.Moreover, the reception hall in the south of the manor is only a few steps away from him, saving them from having to search through the map if they are not familiar with the map.
The servants cleaning up the patrolling soldiers were busy, and the three of them walked into the entrance of the garden where the big iron man appeared just now.Jiang Xiao helped the incomplete pattern on the pillar crushed by the iron man, sighed while twisting the stone foam, and took a breath, and the dust on his fingertips dissipated.
Huai Qi walked through the arch, and accidentally glanced at the ruins. The cowardly Sameer was standing there. She was so nervous that her face turned pale due to her own mistakes, and she kept apologizing.The housekeeper was saying something, and it seemed that she was ordered to evict her.
At this moment, Huai Qi saw a faint blue flash on her body - this is the light of mission guidance, so he quickly called his companions to stop and walked towards Sameer.As it approached, he just heard the steward's scolding and the order to drive away.Sameer said with tears in his eyes: "Please, if I leave the manor, I will have nowhere to go, and I will starve to death on the street."
The housekeeper raised his eyebrows indifferently, and waved his hand indifferently, letting her, a foreigner, leave.
Huai Qi stopped the housekeeper and said, "Wait a minute."
Seeing Huai Qi, the butler switched to a respectful mask and said, "Dear guest, do you have anything to tell me?"
Meeting Samel's pitiful gaze, Huai Qi choked back the words on his lips, and after hesitating for two seconds, coughed lightly and said, "I don't think it's Samel's fault, it's the one who controls the soul fire. There is a problem with the device, I hope you can let her go."
To the Kingsley family, Sameer is just one of thousands of servants, and the butler can control the fate of one of them at will. Naturally, he will not refuse the request of the distinguished guest because of such a trivial matter, so he "forgives" as he said. Sameer.When the butler left the scene, Sameer gratefully grasped Huai Qi's hand, but let it go in a panic, and wiped the oily hands on the dirty apron, she said: "Thank you intercede."
"It's okay." Huai Qi said.
At this time, a new mark appeared on the quest parchment scroll: "Talk to Sameer and learn about the secrets hidden by the aliens."
The situation was exactly as they expected.Although Soul Fire is guided by the main line, the plot clues are fragmented. If a player fails to pay attention to the mission prompt here, Samel will be kicked out of the manor by the steward, and they will miss this mission forever in this game journey. A plot line.
"What does 'foreigner' mean?" Gu Qian rubbed her chin and said, "When the butler mentioned Samel, he kept saying this word repeatedly. Could it be related to the plot?"
"I'm a member of the North family." Gu Qian's words probably triggered something, and Samel spoke by herself. She lowered her head and said, "After the North family was destroyed, I was homeless, so I came to Jin Master Slee is here to survive."
"The North family?"
"Well, it was originally a big family capable of rivaling Kingsley, but "it was defeated because of the murder 30 years ago, and finally ended in destruction. "
The length of 30 years is almost imprinted on Huaiqi's nerves.He continued to ask in puzzlement: "How did it be destroyed?" "
Sameer grabbed her arm uneasily, as if trying to pull out the monster in her memory, she said in a trembling voice: "Yes" because of a long-planned massacre.Lord North had no biological heirs, and he himself and the group of orphans he adopted were all killed in that accident. "
Samel covered her face, recalling her old friend with a painful expression, she murmured: "Even the young master Sul North did not escape this disaster..."
30 years ago, orphans, massacres.
Huai Qi and Gu Qian looked at each other.
Jian Yisu was really using the plot of Soul Fire to reflect something.
Seeing the tip of the iceberg of the truth, Huai Qi's heart beat uncontrollably.Jiang Xiao, who learned a little bit of inside information from Huaiqi, also learned a little bit smarter, tried to think with his brain circuit different from others, and said: "Do you think the names of these two families imply something, Jin Seeley stands for 'Jin', and North' hiss. "He was like a student who was doing a Chinese test paper and tried hard to get the topic to the main point, and said: "North is the same as 'north', which means Bei, isn't Bei just Shuo.The North family probably represents Brother Jian's lineage. "
Gu Qian raised her eyebrows and said, "Perhaps it makes sense."
Jiang Xiao put his hips on his hips and said to himself: "It must make sense!"
There is too much undecided information, Huai Qi does not dare to make a conclusion.She wanted to continue to ask some questions from Sameer, but was "silenced" by the system.The inner monologue reminded him: "Samele doesn't seem to want to reveal anything to me, and I need to find a way to make her open up to us."
"She mentioned a person just now, Sur North." Huai Qi said to the two of them, "Maybe we need to start with this person for her to open her heart to us."
"So should we go to the master Kingsley now, or the butler?" Gu Qian said, "Going to the master can get us the task of coming to the manor, and going to the butler can get the basic information of the two families."
Jiang Xiao said: "There are three of us, we can split up."
"Then I'll go to the housekeeper." Gu Qian asked Ying to ask.
"Then I'll follow Xiao Huaihuai."
"Otherwise you and classmate Gu are together," Huai Qi said, "it's safer for the two of you."
Jiang Xiao: "I..."
Gu Qian smiled and said: "No need, in comparison, it seems that the task on your side is more difficult."
""Oh well. "Huaiqi thought for a while, and reluctantly took Jiang Xiao in.
"?" Jiang Xiao, who was being pushed back and forth by the two, said sadly, "You two don't make me seem superfluous."
Huai Qi and Gu Qian agreed to meet at the same place, and after saying goodbye to her temporarily, they pulled Jiang Xiao into the garden passage and set off for the reception hall.Compared with the grandeur on the outside of the building, the reception hall is much more simple, Huai Qi even saw some ancient oriental style from the furnishings.
Jiang Xiao looked around the whole room, and complained while watching: "What kind of steampunk is a mix of Chinese and Western."
His evaluation of the surrounding decoration style triggered the owner's reaction. An old man came out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "It seems that the guests have their own unique aesthetics."
The old man is tall and has a hooked nose with a sense of oppression.His face was covered with a layer of frost worn by the years.His mannerisms were very gentlemanly, but it still gave Huai Qi a weird feeling—as if an elegant statue in an art gallery suddenly moved stiffly.
This is probably Carton Kingsley.
Huai Qi's inner monologue said:
"He is the one who sent the entrustment letter to the Temple of Tana."
"When I saw him, I felt an inexplicable irritability in my heart."
"I think the part of my memory that I lost must be inextricably linked with him."
Huai Qi got straight to the point and said, "Hello, what is your entrusted task?"
"Guests, please don't worry." Caton put down the red wine in his hand and said, "I have prepared a sumptuous lunch for the three guests, and it won't be too late to settle my commission after the banquet."
Jiang Xiao suddenly said in surprise: "What, lunch? Can I still eat here?"
Huaiqi understands his surprise, if this pan-sensory system also includes "taste" and "smell", it is really a remarkable technological innovation.
Carton smiled and said, "Of course."
But Huai Qi said: "No, we want to know the content of the mission as soon as possible."
Carton squinted his eyes to look at Huai Qi, and said, "Guest, your name is 07, isn't it?"
He said, "Yes."
"I specially invited the three people from the temple to come because I see you look very familiar and have a kind of intimacy." Carton said, "Especially you, Mr. 07."
It seems that Caton already knew about the Temple of Tana and the Soul Hunter before sending out the commission.But regarding his own origin - "Temple of Tana", Huai Qi didn't even know what it was.
Just like the task led them to go to the steward to learn about the Kingsley family, there must be an opportunity to learn about the Tana Temple later.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes like a lake." Carton said, "You really look like a kid I once knew..."
Huai Qi interrupted him: "So Mr. Kingsley, what is your commission?"
"I want you to help get rid of some monsters." Carton finished thinking about the past, sighed deeply, and finally got to the point, "Kingsley Manor has been haunted recently."
"Haunted?" Jiang Xiao's brows frowned into a lump, and whispered to Huai Qi, "This game won't still have horror elements." "
Huai Qi should have been afraid, but when he thought that he was in a virtual world—and the "God" of this world was Jian Yisu, his fear of ghosts did not overcome his curiosity and anticipation for the follow-up plot.
"What ghost are you talking about?"
Carton said: "Mr. 07, shouldn't this be the common sense of soul hunters?"
The inner monologue explained to Huai Qi: "I only remember some fragments. In this world, the soul fire is almost the source of life like water, and there are traces of the soul fire everywhere. Everyone believes in the soul fire of the Temple of Tana Lord of God. And just as water will breed a variety of creatures, the fertile place of soul fire will also hatch spiritual things. When the source of soul fire is pure and natural, it will breed god grass and spirits, and when soul fire is dirty Dirty or solidified and putrefied, ugly ghosts and monsters are born."
Huai Qi understood, and changed his words: "I mean, I want you to describe in detail the monsters we need to get rid of."
"It turns out that I misunderstood what you meant." Carton said, "That's right, there are three ghosts in the manor, they will appear in a special way at night, and it's not time yet, so I will invite the guests first Have a luncheon, or you can let the butler guide you to learn about the three ghosts."
"Can't you tell us?"
"Because I have never seen those three ghosts." Carton shook his head and said, "The butler told me about it. The haunting made people panic in the manor. The local partners were all disturbed by the three ghosts, so I had no choice but to ask for help from the Temple of Tana."
Huai Qi always felt that there were vague contradictions in his words and deeds, but he couldn't tell where there was a problem.So I took up this task first.
The two quest entries on the parchment scroll have all been changed, and entries about the two families have been added at the same time—it seems that Gu Qian's speed is very fast, and she has already talked to the housekeeper.
"Dear soul hunters, I have an important thing to tell you." Carton stopped Huaiqi and said, "The three people who have faced ghosts have some mental problems. You may not be able to get the exact information. To find the purpose in the vague expression."
"understood."
The sheepskin scroll told Huai Qi that they were going to find the housekeeper and visit the three mentally disturbed people next.Huai Qi guessed that "finding the target from vague expressions" is one of the puzzle-solving elements of Soul Fire.Since the gameplay is artificially designed, it must not be as difficult as reality.
"Xiao Huaihuai, are we really not going to the luncheon?" Jiang Xiao was still brooding over this.
"Go," Huai Qi said, "The mission time is at night. Although there is a skip mechanism during non-mission time, I still think it will help to piece together the plot by going through more sub-lines."
They joined Gu Qian who had returned from the study, and led by a servant to the place where the banquet was held in Kingsley Manor.Along the way, they saw many machines driven by soul fire, not only heavy machines, but also exquisite silver-white figures among soldiers, servants, and chefs.Soul fire is a very precious resource, but in the eyes of the Kingsley family, it is just a very common energy source. Under the influence of this environment, they even feel that using cheap manpower to irrigate green plants "Trouble" confirms from the side that this family is rich and powerful.
There were not a few distinguished guests at the banquet, and there were also many businessmen who cooperated with the Kingsley family—one of the groups that Caton said was affected by the three ghosts.Huai Qi and his group found three expensive-looking chairs to sit in. As soon as they sat down firmly, Gu Qian, who had inquired about the information, said, "The demise of the North family must have something to do with Kingsley."
Huai Qi was not in a hurry to know the deduction, he asked Gu Qian to share the information he knew first, and said, "Talk slowly from the beginning."
"The North family, like the Kingsley family, both mine, develop, and sell soul fires for a living. They have thus become the two largest families in this land, and even the rulers of the kingdom are afraid of it." .”
Jiang Xiao said: "There is also the setting of the royal family?"
"Yes, but maybe the game designer didn't want to talk about it, so it's not particularly important." Gu Qian pulled the topic back, "The source of the soul fire has always been a mystery. Some people say that these are provided by the master of the soul fire." Some people also say that the two families went to a special place to dig - just like mining ore, but there has been no conclusion on this, because the two families have tacitly never disclosed their method of making money.I think these plots should be the original game. Although there are elements of mapping, they do not directly represent reality. "
Huaiqi probably understood Jian Yisu's metaphorical routine. He broke up the cause and effect of what happened in reality, cut it into many fragments with specific events, and more naturally integrated with the original plot of the game. Familiar suggestive words-such as "the massacre 30 years ago"-appear, it means that the plot is "the part that actually happened."However, he also did some artistic processing on these parts. After all, the expression is too abrupt and obvious, which may cause some follow-up safety problems to the personnel participating in the game public beta.
Gu Qian continued: "Although the two families are hiding a secret together, they still cannot change the fact that they are opposed to each other. When mentioning the North family, the housekeeper said very euphemistically in front of me, but he couldn't hide his sympathy for North between the lines. The hatred and prejudice of the family - this can actually be seen from his address to Sameer."
Jiang Xiao thought for a while, and raised an objection: "Only based on this, can it be said that the North family was destroyed by Kingsley?"
"Of course there are other reasons. I will finish all the basic information first." Gu Qian said, "The strange thing is that the population of the two families is not prosperous. Kingsley has only one son, and his name is Anant Kingsley , he has been sick and sick since he was a child, and he was born with a very serious heart disease. Kingsley has been trying every means to treat him. Not to mention the old North, he does not have any biological children, only the adopted group Orphans. On the night of the massacre of the North family, the murderer killed these children first. It was because the murderer who was about to sneak away was discovered by Old North, which led to the subsequent tragedy."
In the middle of this passage, Gu Qian looked at Huai Qi again.Huaiqi knew it right away—heart disease, only son, with "Nan" in his name.Only Wei Chaonan can use these three continuous features to find mapping objects among the stakeholders of real events.
"It's strange." Huai Qi said after listening.
Jiang Xiao was puzzled: "What's so strange?"
Huai Qi said: "Why did the murderer only want to kill the group of orphans? The massacre because he ran into the old North while fleeing sounds like a murderous element of passion. But Sameer said that the genocide was premeditated old."
Jiang Xiao suddenly said "Oh", and said with a sway, "That's right."
"Sameer must know some inside information, but we must also pay attention to the authenticity of the information she knows. She may be deceived in certain matters." Gu Qian said, "Because if I say the Kingsley family The conjecture that it is the real murderer is established. Then it is impossible for Samel, who knows the 'truth', to have lived in the Kingsley family for so long."
"I see." Huai Qi said, "Is there any other information, such as "Young Master Suer that Samel said?" "
"I asked the housekeeper," Gu Qian said with a solemn expression, "he only said, 'Sur North' is one of the orphans adopted by Old North, he is a devil like an angel, a real Villains."
"But that" red-haired servant girl," Jiang Xiao couldn't remember so many long names, he said, "when she mentioned this person, her expression was more sad and nostalgic. She would feel sad about the passing of a demon. Is it a pity? "
All three responded silently to the question.
"Come on little by little, there must be more unknown things behind this." Gu Qian said comfortingly.
As they chatted, the luxury in the banquet hall gradually came to life.All the guests were seated, and Jiang Xiao's most anticipated dishes were also served.He hastily cut it open with a knife and fork, and stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth, the excitement on his face slowly faded as his cheeks chewed.
"What's wrong?" Huai Qi was glad that he hadn't eaten yet.
Jiang Xiao put down the knife and fork, sighed in disappointment, and said, "There is no taste, the meat disappears after chewing for a while."
It seems that the pan-body sense of the infinite system does not include the big project of "taste", or Huaiqi has found a potential research and development direction of the deep blue meson.
"It turns out that a person as powerful as Brother Jian also has technical blind spots." Jiang Xiao munched on the steak several times without giving up.
"That" brother Jian is not a god, he is still so young, and the team he leads has developed Wuxian in just a few years, which is already a groundbreaking achievement. Gu Qian poked Jiang Xiao beside her with her elbow, and smiled at Huai Qi, "Yes, Huai Qi." "
"Ah, what?" However, Huai Qi's eyes were attracted to a corner of the hall, and he didn't hear other people's comments on his boyfriend, and blinked inexplicably when his name was called.
Gu Qian knew that her actions to take care of his mood were superfluous, so she coughed and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Sameer." Huai Qi's eyes turned back again, he looked in one direction intently, and said, "I saw Sameer secretly took a lot of food and walked away."
"Is no one stopping her?" Gu Qian and Jiang Xiao, who was chewing steak, also looked over strangely.It stands to reason that a low-status servant like Samel who is responsible for replacing mechanical parts in the manor would not be arranged for the banquet.It would be even stranger if she had come to pick up food to deliver somewhere.
"Shall we follow?" Gu Qian asked.
"You don't need so many people, I'll go." Huai Qi said.
Sameer took the plate and walked to the garden. She was so familiar with the labyrinth-like environment here that Huai Qi lost her.Huai Qi had no choice but to return to the banquet hall after confirming that she could not be found.
There is still a very long time before night, the three of them stayed in the banquet hall for a long time, nothing happened, so they went to browse the maps of the manor, picked up a lot of weapons and supplies, and spent the rest of the time dancing pass.
It's only a matter of seconds to choose to skip the game time period, and when you open your eyes again, night has fallen.The crowd disappeared in an instant, and only the three of them stayed in the banquet hall.They don't have to worry about being hindered in the dark, because the whole manor is brightly lit.The butler who had come to fetch them carried a lamp, which glowed bright and steady white, but was smeared with blue ash.
Jiang Xiao asked: "Isn't this also fueled by soul fire?"
"Yes." The butler replied briefly.
He continued: "Three distinguished guests, by the master's order, I will take you to meet three witnesses, hoping that they can provide you with effective information."
As Caton Kingsley said, the words and actions of these three people were crazy, and there was a gentleman who looked like a businessman.They didn't answer all the questions Huai Qi asked, but when they mentioned their ghost situation, it was as if their souls were taken away for a moment, and another person temporarily lived in the empty shell of their bodies, speaking on their behalf.
The first person is a servant who lives in the manor, his eyes are empty, and he murmured: "Water is called Yin, the moon is called Yin, and the depth of the earth is called Yin. I am in a place of extreme shade."
The second one was the businessman. His tone and tone were the same as the first madman's, and he said: "Same with the outside, everything is the same, there is nothing missing, it is called twins. I am attached to one of the twins. "
The last one was a patrolling soldier, and he said the most curtly: "I'm in a cage."
After listening to the "clues" from the three of them, the main task line on the parchment scroll was updated again: find and eliminate the three ghosts "Extreme Yin", "Gemini", and "Cage".
The butler who carried the lantern added, "Good luck to the three of you."
"..."
The three were silent for a long time.
Jiang Xiao broke the silence and said, "Do you have a clue?"
Huai Qi said, "Probably a little." "
Jiang Xiao scratched his hair and said, "What's the situation now! Isn't this the style of the European Middle Ages! Why is this clue made like a spell in classical Chinese?"
This is indeed the puzzle-solving part of Soul Fire's game.But Huai Qi played more action games, and at first glance, these spell-like things didn't make any sense.He had to read the three clues again.
"Start slowly from the first one." Gu Qian said, "The clue of 'Extremely Yin' displays three 'yin' things, and it says that ghosts are in the 'Extremely Yin' place, will it let us Compare the best of them?"
"Then we need to find all the elements one by one." Huai Qi also felt that her words made sense, "Do this first, and then see if there are any hints."
However, the irrigation system driven by the soul fire is spread all over the manor, and there are countless places with water.The moon only has its head up, and they can't touch it, and the ground is deep...
"Ah" we won't have to dig the ground. "Jiang Xiao, who ran around with the two of them, supported his knees and gasped in pain.
"Maybe, is there any burrow in this manor..." As soon as the words fell, Huai Qi changed his mind according to Gu Qian's original thinking, and said, "'Water' is innumerable, there is only one in the month, and the burrow can only appear if we dig it— — That’s zero, in terms of quantity, isn’t Water Yin the most?”
There was an irrigation canal beside them, Jiang Xiao really didn't want to run away, pointed at Huaiqi, and said in harmony: "It makes sense!"
They checked this long canal repeatedly, and walked back and forth along it, but found nothing unusual.Gu Qian finally overturned her first point of view hesitantly, saying: "The concept of water is too broad here, and it doesn't seem to be a specific place." Maybe our thinking at the beginning was wrong. "
Huai Qi was silent for a while, his eyes glanced, and he accidentally saw the reflection of the moon on the water.Immediately, he understood something, sighed deeply, and said, "It's not about comparing the three Yins, but adding them together."
"what?"
"If the three yins can't be compared in size, then the sum is the best. Water, moon, and burrows can appear in a place that is common sense and exists in reality at the same time."
After being reminded by him, Gu Qian widened her eyes and said, "Well."
"Yes."
Jiang Xiao immediately said: "But the irrigation here is not all driven by the soul fire, why do you need a well?"
"The water drawn from the well is not necessarily used for irrigation." Huai Qi said, "Kingsley Manor only cares about those expensive green plants, and the drinking water for the servants may not be willing to use the precious soul fire to drive it. "
"Tsk..." Jiang Xiao supported Huaiqi's shoulder, and couldn't help complaining, "It's so fucking black, a vicious capitalist."
It so happened that the first madman to give a clue was a servant.The three of them found the dormitory where they lived together, and they found an abandoned well not far away with a broken rope.Gu Qian gritted her teeth, looked down boldly, and saw the reflection of the moon on the water surface at the bottom of the well.
"There is indeed a reflection!" Gu Qian immediately reported to the two people behind her.
"Then we found the right place, did that ghost also..." Jiang Xiao immediately looked over, but all the rest of the words were choked back in his throat, and then he let out a horrified scream and squatted on the ground.
Jiang Xiao was frightened and lost his voice for a moment. When he regained consciousness, the end of his voice was trembling. He said, "Grass, there is indeed a ghost..."
Huai Qi's heart skipped a beat, he and Gu Qian looked down again, and immediately gasped.
Not far from them, a "woman" in white was stuck in the well, raising her head at a strange angle, looking at the person looking into the well.From Huaiqi's perspective, they could only see a face with a blank expression.Her appearance was still normal, but she was strangely pale.Just like an arthropod, she quickly climbed up the well wall after meeting their eyes, but the posture of her head remained unchanged, causing the face to be constantly enlarged in their perspective.
Gu Qian screamed and took a big step back.
But for Huai Qi, the scariest thing was that there were blood bars in his perspective.
"..."
He backed up with the two in front.
"What to do!" Jiang Xiao said.
"First..." Huaiqi paused for a moment, then said, "Stand back first, she may have a splash injury when she comes out..."
After all, they saw the flustered Gu Qian standing up and throwing a big stone into the mouth of the well.After the shrill sound, the boss' blood bar in the viewing angle dropped a large chunk.
Huai Qi and Jiang Xiao: "..."
This ghost is too brittle.
All fear comes from lack of firepower.
Then there is no fear when there is an overwhelming advantage.
Gu Qian's stone gave them a head start. Huai Qi and Jiang Xiao cheered up and shot arrows into the well for a long time. Before the female ghost climbed up, they first reset her health bar to zero.
After that, after fighting in a hurry, the three of them leaned side by side at the mouth of the well, panting for a long time.
Jiang Xiao gasped and complained, "Xiao Huai, where did your heroism go at the beginning?"
Huai Qi stretched out a finger, and said sincerely: "My operations are limited to relatively normal monsters. There is nothing I can do to kill things that appear in the corners of horror games all the year round."
Jiang Xiao said: "Then our main force tonight will be handed over to Gu Qian. A big rock interrupts the boss's appearance. Who would have thought of that?"
"..." Gu Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I really didn't do it on purpose, I was too nervous, just subconsciously."
Huai Qi regained his breath, smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "What kind of humility is it? It's really awesome."
Jiang Xiao raised his hand: "I agree with the hand that the main force handed over to Gu Qian."
Huai Qi raised his hand: "Two votes passed."
Gu Qian was so teased that she burst out laughing, and said, "Hey you two..."
Huai Qi didn't pay much attention to it, he was frightened by the society, and his speech became more straightforward than ever before, and he was no longer restrained.The relationship between the three of them drew closer in an instant.The game allowed Huaiqi to have two more friends who "live life and death together".
With the first puzzle-solving experience.When doing the second one, they get into the state very quickly.
"The one who provided the clue was a businessman who cooperated with the Kingsley family." Gu Qian said, "His clue is 'Twins'."
Jiang Xiao said: "Ask if there are any twins in the manor. 'I am attached to one of the twins' must mean attached to one of the twins."
The idea of solving the puzzle was not achieved overnight. They followed the first thought and asked the butler, only to learn that there were indeed twins among the servants of Kingston Manor.
Just when they were doubting that the answer to the mystery this time was so simple, they saw this pair of twins—they really looked alike, and they should fit the description of the clue.Huai Qi didn't notice anything unusual from the two of them.
Adhering to the principle of "every gesture is the same", Huaiqi asked them to do the same actions, but no matter what they couldn't make the ghost appear, the last three were silenced by the system-this shows that what they did had nothing to do with the plot, It further proved that their ideas were wrong.
Gu Qian said: "You can change your thinking a little bit, for example, where do businessmen often go to the manor?"
Jiang Xiao said: "Aren't they all VIPs who can attend the banquet? They can't squeeze into a big dormitory like servants. There must be a special place for them."
They went to the room where the businessman had lived before, and brought the twins with them by the way.Even after knocking out the two NPCs according to Jiang Xiao's vicious method, they posed the same pose on the ground, but after working hard for a long time, there was still no result.
The three had no choice but to carry back the twins who had suffered an indiscriminate disaster.
Dejected, they sat on the bed, thinking again.
Huaiqi intends to straighten out his thinking from the first puzzle, trying to find out the design rules of the puzzle.He thinks of the canal they've been to, the moon he's seen looking up, and "the reflection of the moon in the water.
"Reflection?"
When Huai Qi suddenly hammered his palm, Gu Qian did the same with him.This time Gu Qian said one step ahead of him: "Mirror!"
The same as the outside, the gestures are the same, there is no gap in the distance, so it is called the twins.
It could be a reflection in a mirror.
The mirrors in Kingsley Manor are all polished by expensive crystals, which Huai Qi had seen in the reception hall.
Huai Qi quickly found a round crystal mirror in the room, and swung it left and right for a while, but the result he imagined did not appear.
Jiang Xiao: "Speaking of which, we have seen mirrors in the living room. Although there is no such thing in the servant's dormitory, it is a common thing in the master's palace, as long as the servants who come to work in the palace can see it To this kind of thing?"
"No" the point is 'there is nothing missing'," Huai Qi said suddenly, "what we need to find is not this kind of small mirror, but a full-length mirror.Only the latter can maximize the reflection of people without adjusting the distance. "
With a target in mind, they searched the room in earnest again.
"Here it is! A full-length mirror." Gu Qian shouted, and lifted a piece of cloth in the corner of the room, revealing the things under the cover.The frame of this full-length mirror is engraved with exquisite patterns, and its priceless value can be seen at a glance. The falling red cloth is reflected in it, like a piece of flowing blood.
As soon as the cover fell to the ground, the reflection of Gu Qian who was closest to it gradually distorted, like a spent TV screen. After receiving a signal, the reflection instantly became another person.
Attached to one of the twins originally refers to the ghost's "possession" of the reflection in the mirror.
This is a little boy "No, it's also a little girl. His shape is constantly changing, like plasticine with human flesh that has not been set, melting and reshaping constantly. They are shorter than Gu Qian Some, in the mirror, the ghost's legs were hanging in the air, staring with stiff eyes, his face was as pale as the previous female ghost. After seeing the people outside, he began to slowly turn his neck and stretched out his hand towards the mirror.
With the lessons learned from the first time, the three decided to be reckless to the end, strangled the bleeding boss in the cradle of appearance, counted down three two one, and swarmed up.
But when he touched the mirror, Huai Qi seemed to hear the ghost in the mirror say something——
The girl's trembling and sweet voice mixed with the boy's hoarse voice during the voice change period, and she called out: "Brother 07."
Huai Qi was stunned suddenly.
This time the boss is more fragile. When the mirror is broken, the blood bar has disappeared.The two took a long breath, but when they wanted to cheer, they found that Huai Qi was staring at the fragments in a daze, so he asked, "What's wrong."
Jiang Xiao asked curiously, "You won't be scared again, Xiao Huaihuai."
"No, no," Huai Qi raised his forehead, and said, "Did you hear anything? "
The two said in unison: "No."
Gu Qian looked at Huai Qi's face, and comforted: "It's okay, everyone's inner monologue will be different, and it's okay to hear some things that your companions can't hear."
"I always feel" I seem to remember the feeling. "
The three ghosts in the game seem to know him as a character
Huai Qi put the sword back into the scabbard, he had become the leader among the three, Gu Qian and Jiang Xiao had no objection to his command.Moreover, the reception hall in the south of the manor is only a few steps away from him, saving them from having to search through the map if they are not familiar with the map.
The servants cleaning up the patrolling soldiers were busy, and the three of them walked into the entrance of the garden where the big iron man appeared just now.Jiang Xiao helped the incomplete pattern on the pillar crushed by the iron man, sighed while twisting the stone foam, and took a breath, and the dust on his fingertips dissipated.
Huai Qi walked through the arch, and accidentally glanced at the ruins. The cowardly Sameer was standing there. She was so nervous that her face turned pale due to her own mistakes, and she kept apologizing.The housekeeper was saying something, and it seemed that she was ordered to evict her.
At this moment, Huai Qi saw a faint blue flash on her body - this is the light of mission guidance, so he quickly called his companions to stop and walked towards Sameer.As it approached, he just heard the steward's scolding and the order to drive away.Sameer said with tears in his eyes: "Please, if I leave the manor, I will have nowhere to go, and I will starve to death on the street."
The housekeeper raised his eyebrows indifferently, and waved his hand indifferently, letting her, a foreigner, leave.
Huai Qi stopped the housekeeper and said, "Wait a minute."
Seeing Huai Qi, the butler switched to a respectful mask and said, "Dear guest, do you have anything to tell me?"
Meeting Samel's pitiful gaze, Huai Qi choked back the words on his lips, and after hesitating for two seconds, coughed lightly and said, "I don't think it's Samel's fault, it's the one who controls the soul fire. There is a problem with the device, I hope you can let her go."
To the Kingsley family, Sameer is just one of thousands of servants, and the butler can control the fate of one of them at will. Naturally, he will not refuse the request of the distinguished guest because of such a trivial matter, so he "forgives" as he said. Sameer.When the butler left the scene, Sameer gratefully grasped Huai Qi's hand, but let it go in a panic, and wiped the oily hands on the dirty apron, she said: "Thank you intercede."
"It's okay." Huai Qi said.
At this time, a new mark appeared on the quest parchment scroll: "Talk to Sameer and learn about the secrets hidden by the aliens."
The situation was exactly as they expected.Although Soul Fire is guided by the main line, the plot clues are fragmented. If a player fails to pay attention to the mission prompt here, Samel will be kicked out of the manor by the steward, and they will miss this mission forever in this game journey. A plot line.
"What does 'foreigner' mean?" Gu Qian rubbed her chin and said, "When the butler mentioned Samel, he kept saying this word repeatedly. Could it be related to the plot?"
"I'm a member of the North family." Gu Qian's words probably triggered something, and Samel spoke by herself. She lowered her head and said, "After the North family was destroyed, I was homeless, so I came to Jin Master Slee is here to survive."
"The North family?"
"Well, it was originally a big family capable of rivaling Kingsley, but "it was defeated because of the murder 30 years ago, and finally ended in destruction. "
The length of 30 years is almost imprinted on Huaiqi's nerves.He continued to ask in puzzlement: "How did it be destroyed?" "
Sameer grabbed her arm uneasily, as if trying to pull out the monster in her memory, she said in a trembling voice: "Yes" because of a long-planned massacre.Lord North had no biological heirs, and he himself and the group of orphans he adopted were all killed in that accident. "
Samel covered her face, recalling her old friend with a painful expression, she murmured: "Even the young master Sul North did not escape this disaster..."
30 years ago, orphans, massacres.
Huai Qi and Gu Qian looked at each other.
Jian Yisu was really using the plot of Soul Fire to reflect something.
Seeing the tip of the iceberg of the truth, Huai Qi's heart beat uncontrollably.Jiang Xiao, who learned a little bit of inside information from Huaiqi, also learned a little bit smarter, tried to think with his brain circuit different from others, and said: "Do you think the names of these two families imply something, Jin Seeley stands for 'Jin', and North' hiss. "He was like a student who was doing a Chinese test paper and tried hard to get the topic to the main point, and said: "North is the same as 'north', which means Bei, isn't Bei just Shuo.The North family probably represents Brother Jian's lineage. "
Gu Qian raised her eyebrows and said, "Perhaps it makes sense."
Jiang Xiao put his hips on his hips and said to himself: "It must make sense!"
There is too much undecided information, Huai Qi does not dare to make a conclusion.She wanted to continue to ask some questions from Sameer, but was "silenced" by the system.The inner monologue reminded him: "Samele doesn't seem to want to reveal anything to me, and I need to find a way to make her open up to us."
"She mentioned a person just now, Sur North." Huai Qi said to the two of them, "Maybe we need to start with this person for her to open her heart to us."
"So should we go to the master Kingsley now, or the butler?" Gu Qian said, "Going to the master can get us the task of coming to the manor, and going to the butler can get the basic information of the two families."
Jiang Xiao said: "There are three of us, we can split up."
"Then I'll go to the housekeeper." Gu Qian asked Ying to ask.
"Then I'll follow Xiao Huaihuai."
"Otherwise you and classmate Gu are together," Huai Qi said, "it's safer for the two of you."
Jiang Xiao: "I..."
Gu Qian smiled and said: "No need, in comparison, it seems that the task on your side is more difficult."
""Oh well. "Huaiqi thought for a while, and reluctantly took Jiang Xiao in.
"?" Jiang Xiao, who was being pushed back and forth by the two, said sadly, "You two don't make me seem superfluous."
Huai Qi and Gu Qian agreed to meet at the same place, and after saying goodbye to her temporarily, they pulled Jiang Xiao into the garden passage and set off for the reception hall.Compared with the grandeur on the outside of the building, the reception hall is much more simple, Huai Qi even saw some ancient oriental style from the furnishings.
Jiang Xiao looked around the whole room, and complained while watching: "What kind of steampunk is a mix of Chinese and Western."
His evaluation of the surrounding decoration style triggered the owner's reaction. An old man came out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "It seems that the guests have their own unique aesthetics."
The old man is tall and has a hooked nose with a sense of oppression.His face was covered with a layer of frost worn by the years.His mannerisms were very gentlemanly, but it still gave Huai Qi a weird feeling—as if an elegant statue in an art gallery suddenly moved stiffly.
This is probably Carton Kingsley.
Huai Qi's inner monologue said:
"He is the one who sent the entrustment letter to the Temple of Tana."
"When I saw him, I felt an inexplicable irritability in my heart."
"I think the part of my memory that I lost must be inextricably linked with him."
Huai Qi got straight to the point and said, "Hello, what is your entrusted task?"
"Guests, please don't worry." Caton put down the red wine in his hand and said, "I have prepared a sumptuous lunch for the three guests, and it won't be too late to settle my commission after the banquet."
Jiang Xiao suddenly said in surprise: "What, lunch? Can I still eat here?"
Huaiqi understands his surprise, if this pan-sensory system also includes "taste" and "smell", it is really a remarkable technological innovation.
Carton smiled and said, "Of course."
But Huai Qi said: "No, we want to know the content of the mission as soon as possible."
Carton squinted his eyes to look at Huai Qi, and said, "Guest, your name is 07, isn't it?"
He said, "Yes."
"I specially invited the three people from the temple to come because I see you look very familiar and have a kind of intimacy." Carton said, "Especially you, Mr. 07."
It seems that Caton already knew about the Temple of Tana and the Soul Hunter before sending out the commission.But regarding his own origin - "Temple of Tana", Huai Qi didn't even know what it was.
Just like the task led them to go to the steward to learn about the Kingsley family, there must be an opportunity to learn about the Tana Temple later.
"Blonde hair, blue eyes like a lake." Carton said, "You really look like a kid I once knew..."
Huai Qi interrupted him: "So Mr. Kingsley, what is your commission?"
"I want you to help get rid of some monsters." Carton finished thinking about the past, sighed deeply, and finally got to the point, "Kingsley Manor has been haunted recently."
"Haunted?" Jiang Xiao's brows frowned into a lump, and whispered to Huai Qi, "This game won't still have horror elements." "
Huai Qi should have been afraid, but when he thought that he was in a virtual world—and the "God" of this world was Jian Yisu, his fear of ghosts did not overcome his curiosity and anticipation for the follow-up plot.
"What ghost are you talking about?"
Carton said: "Mr. 07, shouldn't this be the common sense of soul hunters?"
The inner monologue explained to Huai Qi: "I only remember some fragments. In this world, the soul fire is almost the source of life like water, and there are traces of the soul fire everywhere. Everyone believes in the soul fire of the Temple of Tana Lord of God. And just as water will breed a variety of creatures, the fertile place of soul fire will also hatch spiritual things. When the source of soul fire is pure and natural, it will breed god grass and spirits, and when soul fire is dirty Dirty or solidified and putrefied, ugly ghosts and monsters are born."
Huai Qi understood, and changed his words: "I mean, I want you to describe in detail the monsters we need to get rid of."
"It turns out that I misunderstood what you meant." Carton said, "That's right, there are three ghosts in the manor, they will appear in a special way at night, and it's not time yet, so I will invite the guests first Have a luncheon, or you can let the butler guide you to learn about the three ghosts."
"Can't you tell us?"
"Because I have never seen those three ghosts." Carton shook his head and said, "The butler told me about it. The haunting made people panic in the manor. The local partners were all disturbed by the three ghosts, so I had no choice but to ask for help from the Temple of Tana."
Huai Qi always felt that there were vague contradictions in his words and deeds, but he couldn't tell where there was a problem.So I took up this task first.
The two quest entries on the parchment scroll have all been changed, and entries about the two families have been added at the same time—it seems that Gu Qian's speed is very fast, and she has already talked to the housekeeper.
"Dear soul hunters, I have an important thing to tell you." Carton stopped Huaiqi and said, "The three people who have faced ghosts have some mental problems. You may not be able to get the exact information. To find the purpose in the vague expression."
"understood."
The sheepskin scroll told Huai Qi that they were going to find the housekeeper and visit the three mentally disturbed people next.Huai Qi guessed that "finding the target from vague expressions" is one of the puzzle-solving elements of Soul Fire.Since the gameplay is artificially designed, it must not be as difficult as reality.
"Xiao Huaihuai, are we really not going to the luncheon?" Jiang Xiao was still brooding over this.
"Go," Huai Qi said, "The mission time is at night. Although there is a skip mechanism during non-mission time, I still think it will help to piece together the plot by going through more sub-lines."
They joined Gu Qian who had returned from the study, and led by a servant to the place where the banquet was held in Kingsley Manor.Along the way, they saw many machines driven by soul fire, not only heavy machines, but also exquisite silver-white figures among soldiers, servants, and chefs.Soul fire is a very precious resource, but in the eyes of the Kingsley family, it is just a very common energy source. Under the influence of this environment, they even feel that using cheap manpower to irrigate green plants "Trouble" confirms from the side that this family is rich and powerful.
There were not a few distinguished guests at the banquet, and there were also many businessmen who cooperated with the Kingsley family—one of the groups that Caton said was affected by the three ghosts.Huai Qi and his group found three expensive-looking chairs to sit in. As soon as they sat down firmly, Gu Qian, who had inquired about the information, said, "The demise of the North family must have something to do with Kingsley."
Huai Qi was not in a hurry to know the deduction, he asked Gu Qian to share the information he knew first, and said, "Talk slowly from the beginning."
"The North family, like the Kingsley family, both mine, develop, and sell soul fires for a living. They have thus become the two largest families in this land, and even the rulers of the kingdom are afraid of it." .”
Jiang Xiao said: "There is also the setting of the royal family?"
"Yes, but maybe the game designer didn't want to talk about it, so it's not particularly important." Gu Qian pulled the topic back, "The source of the soul fire has always been a mystery. Some people say that these are provided by the master of the soul fire." Some people also say that the two families went to a special place to dig - just like mining ore, but there has been no conclusion on this, because the two families have tacitly never disclosed their method of making money.I think these plots should be the original game. Although there are elements of mapping, they do not directly represent reality. "
Huaiqi probably understood Jian Yisu's metaphorical routine. He broke up the cause and effect of what happened in reality, cut it into many fragments with specific events, and more naturally integrated with the original plot of the game. Familiar suggestive words-such as "the massacre 30 years ago"-appear, it means that the plot is "the part that actually happened."However, he also did some artistic processing on these parts. After all, the expression is too abrupt and obvious, which may cause some follow-up safety problems to the personnel participating in the game public beta.
Gu Qian continued: "Although the two families are hiding a secret together, they still cannot change the fact that they are opposed to each other. When mentioning the North family, the housekeeper said very euphemistically in front of me, but he couldn't hide his sympathy for North between the lines. The hatred and prejudice of the family - this can actually be seen from his address to Sameer."
Jiang Xiao thought for a while, and raised an objection: "Only based on this, can it be said that the North family was destroyed by Kingsley?"
"Of course there are other reasons. I will finish all the basic information first." Gu Qian said, "The strange thing is that the population of the two families is not prosperous. Kingsley has only one son, and his name is Anant Kingsley , he has been sick and sick since he was a child, and he was born with a very serious heart disease. Kingsley has been trying every means to treat him. Not to mention the old North, he does not have any biological children, only the adopted group Orphans. On the night of the massacre of the North family, the murderer killed these children first. It was because the murderer who was about to sneak away was discovered by Old North, which led to the subsequent tragedy."
In the middle of this passage, Gu Qian looked at Huai Qi again.Huaiqi knew it right away—heart disease, only son, with "Nan" in his name.Only Wei Chaonan can use these three continuous features to find mapping objects among the stakeholders of real events.
"It's strange." Huai Qi said after listening.
Jiang Xiao was puzzled: "What's so strange?"
Huai Qi said: "Why did the murderer only want to kill the group of orphans? The massacre because he ran into the old North while fleeing sounds like a murderous element of passion. But Sameer said that the genocide was premeditated old."
Jiang Xiao suddenly said "Oh", and said with a sway, "That's right."
"Sameer must know some inside information, but we must also pay attention to the authenticity of the information she knows. She may be deceived in certain matters." Gu Qian said, "Because if I say the Kingsley family The conjecture that it is the real murderer is established. Then it is impossible for Samel, who knows the 'truth', to have lived in the Kingsley family for so long."
"I see." Huai Qi said, "Is there any other information, such as "Young Master Suer that Samel said?" "
"I asked the housekeeper," Gu Qian said with a solemn expression, "he only said, 'Sur North' is one of the orphans adopted by Old North, he is a devil like an angel, a real Villains."
"But that" red-haired servant girl," Jiang Xiao couldn't remember so many long names, he said, "when she mentioned this person, her expression was more sad and nostalgic. She would feel sad about the passing of a demon. Is it a pity? "
All three responded silently to the question.
"Come on little by little, there must be more unknown things behind this." Gu Qian said comfortingly.
As they chatted, the luxury in the banquet hall gradually came to life.All the guests were seated, and Jiang Xiao's most anticipated dishes were also served.He hastily cut it open with a knife and fork, and stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth, the excitement on his face slowly faded as his cheeks chewed.
"What's wrong?" Huai Qi was glad that he hadn't eaten yet.
Jiang Xiao put down the knife and fork, sighed in disappointment, and said, "There is no taste, the meat disappears after chewing for a while."
It seems that the pan-body sense of the infinite system does not include the big project of "taste", or Huaiqi has found a potential research and development direction of the deep blue meson.
"It turns out that a person as powerful as Brother Jian also has technical blind spots." Jiang Xiao munched on the steak several times without giving up.
"That" brother Jian is not a god, he is still so young, and the team he leads has developed Wuxian in just a few years, which is already a groundbreaking achievement. Gu Qian poked Jiang Xiao beside her with her elbow, and smiled at Huai Qi, "Yes, Huai Qi." "
"Ah, what?" However, Huai Qi's eyes were attracted to a corner of the hall, and he didn't hear other people's comments on his boyfriend, and blinked inexplicably when his name was called.
Gu Qian knew that her actions to take care of his mood were superfluous, so she coughed and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Sameer." Huai Qi's eyes turned back again, he looked in one direction intently, and said, "I saw Sameer secretly took a lot of food and walked away."
"Is no one stopping her?" Gu Qian and Jiang Xiao, who was chewing steak, also looked over strangely.It stands to reason that a low-status servant like Samel who is responsible for replacing mechanical parts in the manor would not be arranged for the banquet.It would be even stranger if she had come to pick up food to deliver somewhere.
"Shall we follow?" Gu Qian asked.
"You don't need so many people, I'll go." Huai Qi said.
Sameer took the plate and walked to the garden. She was so familiar with the labyrinth-like environment here that Huai Qi lost her.Huai Qi had no choice but to return to the banquet hall after confirming that she could not be found.
There is still a very long time before night, the three of them stayed in the banquet hall for a long time, nothing happened, so they went to browse the maps of the manor, picked up a lot of weapons and supplies, and spent the rest of the time dancing pass.
It's only a matter of seconds to choose to skip the game time period, and when you open your eyes again, night has fallen.The crowd disappeared in an instant, and only the three of them stayed in the banquet hall.They don't have to worry about being hindered in the dark, because the whole manor is brightly lit.The butler who had come to fetch them carried a lamp, which glowed bright and steady white, but was smeared with blue ash.
Jiang Xiao asked: "Isn't this also fueled by soul fire?"
"Yes." The butler replied briefly.
He continued: "Three distinguished guests, by the master's order, I will take you to meet three witnesses, hoping that they can provide you with effective information."
As Caton Kingsley said, the words and actions of these three people were crazy, and there was a gentleman who looked like a businessman.They didn't answer all the questions Huai Qi asked, but when they mentioned their ghost situation, it was as if their souls were taken away for a moment, and another person temporarily lived in the empty shell of their bodies, speaking on their behalf.
The first person is a servant who lives in the manor, his eyes are empty, and he murmured: "Water is called Yin, the moon is called Yin, and the depth of the earth is called Yin. I am in a place of extreme shade."
The second one was the businessman. His tone and tone were the same as the first madman's, and he said: "Same with the outside, everything is the same, there is nothing missing, it is called twins. I am attached to one of the twins. "
The last one was a patrolling soldier, and he said the most curtly: "I'm in a cage."
After listening to the "clues" from the three of them, the main task line on the parchment scroll was updated again: find and eliminate the three ghosts "Extreme Yin", "Gemini", and "Cage".
The butler who carried the lantern added, "Good luck to the three of you."
"..."
The three were silent for a long time.
Jiang Xiao broke the silence and said, "Do you have a clue?"
Huai Qi said, "Probably a little." "
Jiang Xiao scratched his hair and said, "What's the situation now! Isn't this the style of the European Middle Ages! Why is this clue made like a spell in classical Chinese?"
This is indeed the puzzle-solving part of Soul Fire's game.But Huai Qi played more action games, and at first glance, these spell-like things didn't make any sense.He had to read the three clues again.
"Start slowly from the first one." Gu Qian said, "The clue of 'Extremely Yin' displays three 'yin' things, and it says that ghosts are in the 'Extremely Yin' place, will it let us Compare the best of them?"
"Then we need to find all the elements one by one." Huai Qi also felt that her words made sense, "Do this first, and then see if there are any hints."
However, the irrigation system driven by the soul fire is spread all over the manor, and there are countless places with water.The moon only has its head up, and they can't touch it, and the ground is deep...
"Ah" we won't have to dig the ground. "Jiang Xiao, who ran around with the two of them, supported his knees and gasped in pain.
"Maybe, is there any burrow in this manor..." As soon as the words fell, Huai Qi changed his mind according to Gu Qian's original thinking, and said, "'Water' is innumerable, there is only one in the month, and the burrow can only appear if we dig it— — That’s zero, in terms of quantity, isn’t Water Yin the most?”
There was an irrigation canal beside them, Jiang Xiao really didn't want to run away, pointed at Huaiqi, and said in harmony: "It makes sense!"
They checked this long canal repeatedly, and walked back and forth along it, but found nothing unusual.Gu Qian finally overturned her first point of view hesitantly, saying: "The concept of water is too broad here, and it doesn't seem to be a specific place." Maybe our thinking at the beginning was wrong. "
Huai Qi was silent for a while, his eyes glanced, and he accidentally saw the reflection of the moon on the water.Immediately, he understood something, sighed deeply, and said, "It's not about comparing the three Yins, but adding them together."
"what?"
"If the three yins can't be compared in size, then the sum is the best. Water, moon, and burrows can appear in a place that is common sense and exists in reality at the same time."
After being reminded by him, Gu Qian widened her eyes and said, "Well."
"Yes."
Jiang Xiao immediately said: "But the irrigation here is not all driven by the soul fire, why do you need a well?"
"The water drawn from the well is not necessarily used for irrigation." Huai Qi said, "Kingsley Manor only cares about those expensive green plants, and the drinking water for the servants may not be willing to use the precious soul fire to drive it. "
"Tsk..." Jiang Xiao supported Huaiqi's shoulder, and couldn't help complaining, "It's so fucking black, a vicious capitalist."
It so happened that the first madman to give a clue was a servant.The three of them found the dormitory where they lived together, and they found an abandoned well not far away with a broken rope.Gu Qian gritted her teeth, looked down boldly, and saw the reflection of the moon on the water surface at the bottom of the well.
"There is indeed a reflection!" Gu Qian immediately reported to the two people behind her.
"Then we found the right place, did that ghost also..." Jiang Xiao immediately looked over, but all the rest of the words were choked back in his throat, and then he let out a horrified scream and squatted on the ground.
Jiang Xiao was frightened and lost his voice for a moment. When he regained consciousness, the end of his voice was trembling. He said, "Grass, there is indeed a ghost..."
Huai Qi's heart skipped a beat, he and Gu Qian looked down again, and immediately gasped.
Not far from them, a "woman" in white was stuck in the well, raising her head at a strange angle, looking at the person looking into the well.From Huaiqi's perspective, they could only see a face with a blank expression.Her appearance was still normal, but she was strangely pale.Just like an arthropod, she quickly climbed up the well wall after meeting their eyes, but the posture of her head remained unchanged, causing the face to be constantly enlarged in their perspective.
Gu Qian screamed and took a big step back.
But for Huai Qi, the scariest thing was that there were blood bars in his perspective.
"..."
He backed up with the two in front.
"What to do!" Jiang Xiao said.
"First..." Huaiqi paused for a moment, then said, "Stand back first, she may have a splash injury when she comes out..."
After all, they saw the flustered Gu Qian standing up and throwing a big stone into the mouth of the well.After the shrill sound, the boss' blood bar in the viewing angle dropped a large chunk.
Huai Qi and Jiang Xiao: "..."
This ghost is too brittle.
All fear comes from lack of firepower.
Then there is no fear when there is an overwhelming advantage.
Gu Qian's stone gave them a head start. Huai Qi and Jiang Xiao cheered up and shot arrows into the well for a long time. Before the female ghost climbed up, they first reset her health bar to zero.
After that, after fighting in a hurry, the three of them leaned side by side at the mouth of the well, panting for a long time.
Jiang Xiao gasped and complained, "Xiao Huai, where did your heroism go at the beginning?"
Huai Qi stretched out a finger, and said sincerely: "My operations are limited to relatively normal monsters. There is nothing I can do to kill things that appear in the corners of horror games all the year round."
Jiang Xiao said: "Then our main force tonight will be handed over to Gu Qian. A big rock interrupts the boss's appearance. Who would have thought of that?"
"..." Gu Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I really didn't do it on purpose, I was too nervous, just subconsciously."
Huai Qi regained his breath, smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "What kind of humility is it? It's really awesome."
Jiang Xiao raised his hand: "I agree with the hand that the main force handed over to Gu Qian."
Huai Qi raised his hand: "Two votes passed."
Gu Qian was so teased that she burst out laughing, and said, "Hey you two..."
Huai Qi didn't pay much attention to it, he was frightened by the society, and his speech became more straightforward than ever before, and he was no longer restrained.The relationship between the three of them drew closer in an instant.The game allowed Huaiqi to have two more friends who "live life and death together".
With the first puzzle-solving experience.When doing the second one, they get into the state very quickly.
"The one who provided the clue was a businessman who cooperated with the Kingsley family." Gu Qian said, "His clue is 'Twins'."
Jiang Xiao said: "Ask if there are any twins in the manor. 'I am attached to one of the twins' must mean attached to one of the twins."
The idea of solving the puzzle was not achieved overnight. They followed the first thought and asked the butler, only to learn that there were indeed twins among the servants of Kingston Manor.
Just when they were doubting that the answer to the mystery this time was so simple, they saw this pair of twins—they really looked alike, and they should fit the description of the clue.Huai Qi didn't notice anything unusual from the two of them.
Adhering to the principle of "every gesture is the same", Huaiqi asked them to do the same actions, but no matter what they couldn't make the ghost appear, the last three were silenced by the system-this shows that what they did had nothing to do with the plot, It further proved that their ideas were wrong.
Gu Qian said: "You can change your thinking a little bit, for example, where do businessmen often go to the manor?"
Jiang Xiao said: "Aren't they all VIPs who can attend the banquet? They can't squeeze into a big dormitory like servants. There must be a special place for them."
They went to the room where the businessman had lived before, and brought the twins with them by the way.Even after knocking out the two NPCs according to Jiang Xiao's vicious method, they posed the same pose on the ground, but after working hard for a long time, there was still no result.
The three had no choice but to carry back the twins who had suffered an indiscriminate disaster.
Dejected, they sat on the bed, thinking again.
Huaiqi intends to straighten out his thinking from the first puzzle, trying to find out the design rules of the puzzle.He thinks of the canal they've been to, the moon he's seen looking up, and "the reflection of the moon in the water.
"Reflection?"
When Huai Qi suddenly hammered his palm, Gu Qian did the same with him.This time Gu Qian said one step ahead of him: "Mirror!"
The same as the outside, the gestures are the same, there is no gap in the distance, so it is called the twins.
It could be a reflection in a mirror.
The mirrors in Kingsley Manor are all polished by expensive crystals, which Huai Qi had seen in the reception hall.
Huai Qi quickly found a round crystal mirror in the room, and swung it left and right for a while, but the result he imagined did not appear.
Jiang Xiao: "Speaking of which, we have seen mirrors in the living room. Although there is no such thing in the servant's dormitory, it is a common thing in the master's palace, as long as the servants who come to work in the palace can see it To this kind of thing?"
"No" the point is 'there is nothing missing'," Huai Qi said suddenly, "what we need to find is not this kind of small mirror, but a full-length mirror.Only the latter can maximize the reflection of people without adjusting the distance. "
With a target in mind, they searched the room in earnest again.
"Here it is! A full-length mirror." Gu Qian shouted, and lifted a piece of cloth in the corner of the room, revealing the things under the cover.The frame of this full-length mirror is engraved with exquisite patterns, and its priceless value can be seen at a glance. The falling red cloth is reflected in it, like a piece of flowing blood.
As soon as the cover fell to the ground, the reflection of Gu Qian who was closest to it gradually distorted, like a spent TV screen. After receiving a signal, the reflection instantly became another person.
Attached to one of the twins originally refers to the ghost's "possession" of the reflection in the mirror.
This is a little boy "No, it's also a little girl. His shape is constantly changing, like plasticine with human flesh that has not been set, melting and reshaping constantly. They are shorter than Gu Qian Some, in the mirror, the ghost's legs were hanging in the air, staring with stiff eyes, his face was as pale as the previous female ghost. After seeing the people outside, he began to slowly turn his neck and stretched out his hand towards the mirror.
With the lessons learned from the first time, the three decided to be reckless to the end, strangled the bleeding boss in the cradle of appearance, counted down three two one, and swarmed up.
But when he touched the mirror, Huai Qi seemed to hear the ghost in the mirror say something——
The girl's trembling and sweet voice mixed with the boy's hoarse voice during the voice change period, and she called out: "Brother 07."
Huai Qi was stunned suddenly.
This time the boss is more fragile. When the mirror is broken, the blood bar has disappeared.The two took a long breath, but when they wanted to cheer, they found that Huai Qi was staring at the fragments in a daze, so he asked, "What's wrong."
