"Go over and see if the one lying in that coffin is a newcomer?"

"Why don't you go and see? What if those ghosts came out again?"

Jiang Heng was awakened by the loud quarrel, he slowly opened his eyes, staring at the pitch-black ceiling for a while.

"Hush—he seems to be awake."

Jiang Heng blinked his eyes sluggishly, and found that the surroundings were a bit dark.

Did he not pay the electricity bill again, and he turned on the night light before going to bed, Jiang Heng thought slowly.

The bed seems to be hardened.Jiang Heng yawned and sat up, the tears on his eyelashes made his face softer.

"Get up!" Someone shouted in a low voice not far away, his voice seemed to be overwhelmed by excitement and fear.

Jiang Heng turned his head towards the source of the sound, and saw three people huddled within the circle of light illuminated by the candlestick nearby, staring at him intently.

The moonlight from outside the window shone in, illuminating Jiang Heng's face.

The three people shrunk in the aperture saw Jiang Heng's appearance clearly, and they all gasped.

Zhang Shilin stayed for a while, and was the first to come back to his senses, heartbroken: "The system has too many tricks, and it gave us a bad face."

Zhang Shilin's voice was unrestrained, Jiang Heng heard it clearly, he tilted his head in confusion, and a lock of hair that was messed up by sleeping also shook with his shaking.

Lin Yue's eyes lit up: "What nonsense, what a boy! Don't be sour if you are ugly."

"Little brother, why are you still in the coffin?"

Jiang Heng was dizzy from hearing this, subconsciously followed Lin Yue's words, stood up, and stepped out of the coffin.

coffin?He blinked his eyes, turned his head, squatted down, and carefully inspected the "bed" he had just lain on and sat on.

The thick coffin boards were painted with a beautiful blood-colored paint, so new that it seemed to have just been poured with blood.

Jiang Heng stretched out a finger, gently wiped the coffin, then withdrew his finger, and looked carefully to see if there was anything on his finger.

With clean fingers, Jiang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the paint has dried, and the clothes should not be stained.This suit is the only one he can wear to sleep, and if it gets dirty, he has no money to buy it again.

But this coffin is so finely made, Jiang Heng couldn't help sighing when he thought of the delicate carvings he touched just now.

Those who can lie in it must be rich.

Rounding up, he is also a rich man.Jiang Heng nodded, thinking a little happily, the small dimples on his cheeks were slightly exposed, vaguely looking alluring.

"What's wrong with that coffin?"

Jiang Heng turned around, and this time the speaker was a man who hadn't spoken a moment ago. He looked older than the other two young people in their 20s, and looked stable.

Jiang Heng hesitated, and answered truthfully: "It looks good?"

Wang Mingke was at a loss for words for a moment, and after a while he repeated inarticulately: "Just...is it pretty?"

Jiang Heng affirmed solemnly: "Yes."

"..." Wang Mingke's mind went blank.

For a while, no one made a sound, and the air was silent, until the system mechanical prompt sounded suddenly:

[Welcome players to enter the instance...]

【Identity confirmation...】

【Number of participants: 4】

[Copy name:? ? ?Castle]

[Task: 1. Escape from birth 2. Find the owner of the castle]

Zhang Shilin was so frightened that he almost jumped up, cursing and saying: "Scare me, what a piece of crap, I can't speak well."

Jiang Heng was also a little frightened. He rubbed his earlobe and let out a sigh of relief.

Is this playing a game?He thought with some uncertainty.

Wang Mingke frowned: "What's going on? There is no background hint this time? Even the dungeon name is half hidden."

When Jiang Heng heard what Wang Mingke said, he turned his head and asked curiously, "Duplicate?"

Seeing Jiang Heng's confused and curious look, Wang Mingke couldn't help but soften his heart for a moment: "This is one of the copies of the holographic horror game "Birth of Heaven", don't you know?"

Jiang Heng was still full of doubts in his heart, he struggled to search his memory, and then remembered that he seemed to have picked up a strange USB flash drive before going to bed last night, which seemed to have some kind of game written on it.

He suddenly asked: "Is this game installed in a USB flash drive?" Jiang Heng paused, then stretched out his hand to gesture, "Such a big USB flash drive."

Now it was Wang Mingke's turn to be surprised, but before he could continue to say anything, Lin Yue from the side came over.

"Little brother, you are too lucky, that is a limited edition portable USB flash drive, you don't need to wear that heavy helmet to play with this!" Lin Yue was very envious, "Ouhuang! It's amazing!"

Hearing Lin Yue's compliment, Jiang Heng put down his gesticulating hand, and said cautiously: "Thank you, um..." After finishing speaking, he felt that he was not polite enough, and wanted to address the other party. Don't know the names of these people.

Being stared at by Jiang Heng, Lin Yue couldn't help blushing and heart beating: "What do you want to ask, little brother?"

Jiang Heng replied: "Names..." He looked at Lin Yue inquiringly, and smiled embarrassedly, "I don't know your names yet."

Lin Yue was first dazed by Jiang Heng's cute dimples when he laughed, and then almost screamed out excitedly when he was seduced by his slightly red cheeks.

Wang Mingke cleared his throat at the side: "Then let's all introduce ourselves."

Lin Yue started enthusiastically: "Lin Yue, the second round of dungeons."

"Zhang Shilin is also a second-round dungeon." Zhang Shilin said reluctantly.

"Wang Mingke, it's also the second round of the dungeon. The three of us are in a team. The system requires at least four people to enter the dungeon, so you were randomly added." Wang Mingke said.

Jiang Heng hurriedly said: "Jiang Heng." Then he asked suspiciously, "Second round copy?"

Zhang Shilin snorted coldly at the side: "At first glance, you are a rookie. You didn't even know about the second round of dungeons. How could you meet your weak teammate?"

Lin Yue gave Zhang Shilin a hard look, and Zhang Shilin shut up silently.

Wang Mingke said helplessly: "Don't mind, he's just like this, with a hot temper. There are five rounds of dungeons in "Birth of Heaven". .”

Jiang Heng asked: "Then why am I not in the first round? I haven't played before?" His ending sound was unconsciously elongated, bringing out some softness, like a piece of glutinous rice cake.

Wang Mingke suddenly understood Lin Yue's feelings, his ears turned red: "Maybe it's a limited edition privilege, and this has never happened before."

Jiang Heng's question didn't get an exact answer, he was a little lost, but he nodded obediently.

Seeing another companion who betrayed the revolutionary friendship, Zhang Shilin felt even more upset. He said angrily, "You'd better keep up later, I won't keep looking at you, little chick, all the time."

Wang Mingke hurriedly stopped: "Okay, stop arguing, those ghosts can hurt us after the dungeon is opened, don't yell to lure them over."

Jiang Heng pursed his lips and silently remembered that there are ghosts here.

"Let's take a look at what's around first." Lin Yue said, picking up the candlesticks beside him, "There is probably no electricity in this ruined old castle, and there are candlesticks everywhere. Fortunately, Yuyou gave me a box of matches, otherwise we would have to Gone in the dark."

The four plan to go together.Lin Yue handed the candlestick to Wang Mingke who was walking in the front, and she followed behind Wang Mingke.

Jiang Heng hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhang Shilin, and was about to ask him if he wanted to leave first, but was stopped by a word.

"You follow Lin Yue. If you die, no one will know when you die." Zhang Shilin said fiercely.

Jiang Heng looked up at Zhang Shilin's ferocious expression, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you." The dimples were deep, as if filled with sweet fruit wine.

Zhang Shilin fell silent, he felt that the saying "don't hit a smiling face with your hand" made sense.

Seeing that Zhang Shilin didn't respond, Jiang Heng thought he didn't want to talk to others, so he obediently turned around and followed Lin Yue.

They had just been in a utility room in the hall on the first floor of the castle, and only after pushing the door out did they officially see the whole hall.

Wang Mingke stepped forward and lit up the nearest candles.

With more light sources, everyone can see more clearly, especially the restaurant that has just been lit with a circle of candles.

"Wow, this restaurant is too big! The owner of this ancient castle must have a lot of background." Lin Yue looked at the three-meter-long dining table and sighed. She leaned forward and studied the meals on the table. .

"The food is also very good, but it's a pity that it's cold." Lin Yue picked up the carved knife on the table, picked up the cold steak, and looked closely at it curiously.

"Ah—" Lin Yue screamed violently, threw away the knife she was holding, and quickly backed away from the dining table.

Jiang Heng saw that she retreated too quickly, tripped and nearly fell, and instinctively stepped forward to support her.

"Lin Yue, what's wrong?" Jiang Heng frowned and asked worriedly.

Lin Yue grabbed Jiang Heng's sleeves tightly, raised her head, looked at Jiang Heng and took a deep breath.

Very good, beauty is indeed a tranquilizer, Lin Yue calmed down, her voice trembling slightly: "I found an eyeball on the dinner plate."

She emphasized: "A human eyeball, I am definitely not mistaken."

Zhang Shilin on the side heard this, stepped forward a few steps, picked up the knife that Lin Yue had thrown on the ground, and looked through every dish on the table.

"Fuck, there really are, not only the eyeballs, but also the fingers. This master is so perverted." Zhang Shilin also felt a little disgusted.

Seeing that Lin Yue had recovered, Jiang Heng let go of her and went to the dining table to have a look.

Lin Yue's eyes, which were just turned out by Lin Yue, were placed on the nearest steak, probably because they had been boiled and lost water, making them look a little shriveled.

Jiang Heng picked up the leftover fork, poked the eyeball, then picked it up, held it up to his eyes, and spun the fork to observe for a while.

Jiang Heng thought for a moment, then denied: "This is not human eyes, it should be just a simulation." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their heads to look at him.

Jiang Heng looked around his head in confusion: "What's wrong?" He licked his dry lips, feeling a little nervous being watched.

The other three looked at Jiang Heng's harmless and soft face with strange expressions.

How could he poke the ball so calmly, and observe and speculate so carefully?

Wang Mingke couldn't help but said, "Are you really a newcomer?"

Jiang Heng blinked, and answered honestly: "Yes." The tone was so soft that it sounded harmless.

Wang Mingke's expression became even weirder. Jiang Heng's behavior after waking up from the coffin just now made him feel awkward.

But Wang Mingke glanced at Jiang Heng, who had an innocent expression, and felt that Jiang Heng should not have lied, and there was no need to lie.

Maybe he is really a newcomer, just... more courageous?

Before a few people could continue to think, there was a sudden loud noise from the second floor of the castle, followed by a hoarse wailing and harsh scratching at the door.

Jiang Heng felt his ears hurt a little from being shouted, he frowned, covered his ears, and puffed up his cheeks angrily.

"Let's go up, maybe the owner of the castle is calling?" Lin Yue's face turned pale, and she forced a smile and said.

"Okay, let's go." Everyone passed the decision unanimously and walked upstairs.

Behind him, those turned-out eyeballs swelled up, becoming smooth and bright red as if they had sucked blood, and the eyelids were stretched to the point of transparency, which looked extraordinarily scary under the dim candlelight.

They turned around, staring at the direction in which the four left.
