After that, although she still had a strong heart, her thoughts were forcefully cut off.
She was dragged by extreme fatigue and misery, quickly falling into boundless darkness.
.
"Wow, this villa is really big!"
The dream scene suddenly appeared, a group of young college students ran into the villa, excitedly looking around: "The current public accommodation is really good! The points are precious, but you get what you pay for!"
"Yes, and although 6500 for the whole night is not cheap, but with 15 of us, the average down is still good!"
—— From these words, Diep Tich began to realize that this was the beginning of a strange conversation, and quickly captured a number: 15 individuals.
No surprise there, this strange conversation should be exactly 15 individuals.
I heard another girl say: "This is more or less what the class president will find! I looked, the prices of other residential areas in the same area are all around 8500 to 10000, only this house is relatively cheap!"
Ye Xi was slightly stunned. This kind of price difference would also appear in reality. Sometimes, when a certain resident was caught up in the fight, or if the director of the department felt that he was lacking in earning points, this kind of situation could also appear.
But in the rules of weird talk, she felt that this was certainly not a meaningless sentence, so she began to think wildly, brainstorming about the problem of this villa's existence.
... Such as murder case, or micro-ants? These two factors are the most likely to lead to a drop in price. However, because it is a strange rule, she reasonably feels that the probability of "Hung Trach" is higher than "Nguoi Phong", after all, Hung Trach is considered a classic terrifying material, and micro-ants —— halfway through the dungeon, someone will come to remove the micro-ants, isn't that appropriate?
The student in the dream continued to say: "Let's go, let's allocate some rooms!"
These words made the rich man move at the same time, going towards the stairs, wanting to go to the second and third floors to look at the rooms.
But when they reached the elevator door, someone discovered: "Hey, there's a basement here?"
——In front of the stairs, the right side is extending forward, leading to the second and third floors. The left side is going down, after five short steps there is a wooden door.
From the outside, this Taoist sect was very ancient, the green paint on the surface was peeling off layer by layer, looking out of place in the newly renovated residential area. There was a very large bronze lock hanging on the door, it looked like it was originally locked, but now for some unknown reason, the lock was broken, the wooden door was only slightly closed, revealing a pitch black opening.
This scene made Ye Xi believe in her "Hung Trach's speculation" even more. She resisted approaching that path in her heart, but the truth proved that the main characters in the horror movie were all crazy people seeking death.
This group of students completely did not feel that there was anything wrong with the newly decorated door appearing in the dormitory. They all leaned closer without thinking, wanting to see what was inside the door.
There are also people who are heartless and say: "The order of the room seems to not mention the underground basement, if there is a huge entertainment area inside... We will make a profit!"
Just as he said these words, the old wooden door in front of the students was pushed open. With a creak, a nauseating musty smell wafted out, followed by dust and ashes falling from the door, causing everyone to cough.
Coughing, Ye Xi's eyes once again returned to darkness.
After a long time, she gradually regained consciousness, feeling a faint light penetrate through her eyelids and shine into her pupils.
The heavy feeling of fatigue still did not fade, filling her entire body, spreading to all over her body. She therefore waited for half a day without opening her eyes, until the blood vessels on her eyelids were almost clearly visible from the light, then she used all her strength to lift her eyelids.
She blinked her eyes one by one, and after seven or eight seconds, they opened completely. She found herself lying on a single bed. She sat up, and the sight before her eyes once again stunned her.
No matter if it was the weird chat that started before "Tuong Vi Vien Villa" or the weird chat that started when passing by the animation stage "Din Dong Villa", both made her feel that this weird chat copy should be in a residential villa.
But the local scene is not like that.
She seems to be in a... basement.
The house was not large, only about fifteen square meters. Other than the single bed under her, there was also a simple wooden wardrobe and an antique wooden desk.
There were no windows around the perimeter, and a folding ladder was built on the right side of the wall in front. There were two square holes in the ceiling, one was a little larger, and if the ladder was used, it should be able to let people in and out through that square hole. The other one was relatively small, and it was unclear what it was used for.
—— Ye Xi indeed judged through these special characteristics that this place was an underground basement. Actually, combining the previous clues, she should have thought that this place was an "Underground Basement Villa", but because the room was too simple, she did not feel that this place had any relation to a villa.
Ye Xi stepped on the old plastic slippers on the edge of the bed, preparing to climb up the ladder to see the situation upstairs, when a dry leaf like a leaf that had fallen off the top of the bed slowly flew to the ground in front of her.
Diep Tich held his breath, first picking up the rule page.
Only see the top side written:
"—— the world is full of danger, but you are very lucky, there is someone who loves you and is using everything to protect you. For your safety, please strictly follow the rules below:"
"1. Don't leave your room, and try not to approach the door. If you need to leave the room, please tell him when he comes to deliver the food. He will make appropriate arrangements for you;
2. When you finish eating, remember to put the dishes back in the basket;
3. His work is very hard, I need you to provide him with some encouragement and support. If you hear his footsteps, please loudly say to him: "You're back!"
4. Don't trust those who call themselves your friends and family, remember? They all want to harm you;
5. The resources you have are limited, even if he loves you deeply, he still requires you to take it or leave it. Therefore, collect your good room and yourself, win over others, you win everything;
6. He also needs encouragement to pay the price, he needs emotional value, come on, you can do it;
7. You are a polite person, if he gives you a gift, you should feel happy. Seeing you happy, he will also be very happy;
8. The corner of the cold drink counter is an important medicine to maintain your health, please take the right dose every day before bed;
9. Staying here, you will be safe, comfortable, and happy, so there is no need to research those trivial matters."
"What is this?" Diep Tich looked at the rules and muttered to himself.
Even after going through so many strange discussions, this rule still seems very strange.
First, the opening sentence "The world is full of dangers" was something she had never seen before. Then, looking down a bit further, the specific content was also filled with a strange aura that was not seen in other Rule Realms.
For example, number 3: "His work is extremely hard, I need you to provide him with a little encouragement and support. If you hear his footsteps, please loudly say to him: 'You're back! '"
And finally one "Staying here you are safe, comfortable, happy, so, no need to research those trivial matters."
These two rules both contain a kind of self-numbing meaning.
This made Diep Tich think of a European and American movie, a movie about an apocalyptic attack, where monsters are rampant, and the main character's family has been hiding in a closed basement to avoid monster attacks.
The entire movie is about how the main characters struggle to survive, until the very end, when the film reveals that the main characters are actually monsters with great destructive power, and the ones hunting them on the ground are ordinary human troops.
... Could it be that this time the Rule of Law Realm is an apocalyptic theme?
Don't go!
The rules of the monster talk are really terrifying, the end of the world is also really terrifying, the two major horror topics here are too stimulating.
Immediately after, the interface selection tool shot out.
Diep Tich's first reaction was to choose [Distinguishing Dogs], because this time the strange talk rules had about 9 items, and looking at the mind-blowing content, she realized that the rules were very necessary.
But three seconds before the finger was on the [distinguishing dog] button, Ye Xi finally pressed down on the [prompt air] button.
Because she noticed a corner of old clothes exposed in the closet gap, and a dirty fluffy plush toy on the desk, these could be special clues, she asked [Motion Reminder] to help her analyze.
On the other hand, she currently has another problem, which is where all her teammates are.
She originally wanted to climb up the ladder to find her teammates, but the rules told her she couldn't leave. Therefore, she could only hope that there was something in this room that could reveal clues to her teammates. In that case, [Reminders of the Scene] would be of better use than [Distinguishing Dogs].
.
At the same moment, Tieu Lanh regained consciousness and found himself standing in a small flower garden.
... The villa has a small courtyard in front of it, but it is very well-maintained. It seems to be spring now, with hundreds of flowers blooming all around.
He looked up at the dignified villa in front of him, the villa's main gate was open, as if welcoming his arrival.
He therefore walked ahead, when he walked up the stone steps in front of the villa, he noticed the rule of the vase placed on the ground.
This rule states:
"——The world is full of danger, you are trying to protect your loved ones. For their and your own safety, please strictly follow the rules below:"
"1. Please stay every morning from 7:00-9:00, 11:00-13:00, 17:00-19:00 to prepare food for them;
2. The means of transportation is that you can directly use the basket to deliver food. Of course, if you are willing, you can open the door and bring the food in;
3. The light pink spice jar on the kitchen spice rack is the most important to their health, remember to add a little at every meal;
4. Leaving the room is not safe for them, if they make a request to leave the room, please carefully arrange according to the actual situation;
5. If they make you feel satisfied, you will probably want to give them some gifts. When you have this kind of idea, don't hesitate, choose what you think is appropriate and give it to them;
6. In this world, only you are truly doing them good. Everyone else wants to harm them, including those who call themselves their friends and family. These people will use all kinds of methods to try to contact them. You must be careful.
7. Inevitably, you can use some violent means to warn them, this is for everyone's safety;
8. They may have some disputes because of your attitude, don't worry, this is normal. If you decide to intervene, please ask people to help you according to their wishes;
>br />
9. When you feel lonely late at night, you can choose someone to accompany you. You must prepare a comfortable bed for me, but for safety, please don't forget to prepare the necessary self-defense equipment, they are in the drawer on the right side of your bedside table."
After reading these rules, Tieu Lanh's first reaction was: This is... a zombie theme?
Every day there were three times when he had to "prepare food for them", and also "deliver food through a basket". This description made him feel that the sentence behind "If you are willing, you can open the door and bring in the food" must be a fake rule.
Is this weird main character raising a bunch of zombies?
Also, what about the animation stage ahead?
The animation that passed by the stage did not mention any zombies. Moreover, although the students finally pushed open the wooden door to reveal a monster, the setting of the story did not seem to be an apocalyptic theme at all, but more like a ghost story.
What kind of ghost is he raising?
Tieu Lanh remembered that he had once cooked for the "ghost" in Tinh Nguyet apartment according to the strange rules, so he temporarily kept this guess.
Then he wanted to run into the villa to the end, but before he entered the door, the props selection interface popped up.
Once the props selection interface appears, the participant must make a selection. Before confirming the selection, there is no way for the field to move. Furthermore, the selection interface will also block the view, so basically nothing can be done.
Therefore, "He" intentionally made him conduct a blind selection under unclear circumstances.
Xiao Leng fell into silence, after thinking carefully, he still chose to use the most number of times [Killing Artist]. Because at present, although he knew very little about this dungeon, he felt that it revealed a kind of inexplicable strangeness, the attack-shaped prop could be used for self-defense. Moreover, in the rule strange chat, and the rule directly related verification type, the number of guide props to search for was relatively large, regardless of whether the three team members were all entering the strange chat or only entering a part, there were definitely people who chose to be able to directly verify the rule prop. And if he didn't choose the attack-shaped prop, it was likely that it wouldn't be used.
The interface selection tool disappeared instantly after he pressed "Confirm". Xiao Leng focused his mind and walked into the villa with the wide open main door.
Inside the first door was a door separated by a few square meters of hallway. Standing at the door, one could not directly see the scene behind the hallway. However, there were slippers at the entrance, so Xiao Leng changed his shoes first and continued walking inside.
Passing through the entrance, the living room and dining room next to each other entered his eyes. Looking closely, Xiao Leng was stunned and found that the scenery inside the villa was not the same as the "passing stage animation" of the residential villa in front.
In the passing stage image, this villa was decorated into the usual rustic style, at first glance it looked fresh and elegant. But now, the decoration in front of them was the newly popular Sha Xi style in recent years, the color was mainly pure milky white, light and pale, the lines were simple and clean, and there had never been much decoration, before the "Sha Xi style" was born, this kind of decoration style would probably be classified as "Indifferent style".
Xiao Leng also did not like this kind of decoration style, feeling that it was too cold. Now, probably because of being in the strange rules, this kind of decoration style revealed a kind of pressure and cunning, making people unable to breathe.
But if we ignore the decoration style, we can easily see that this villa and the residential villa that passed by on the stage are completely identical in layout.
This point is very similar to the rules of Tinh Nguyet apartment.
The background of the story of the Tinh Nguyet apartment building rules and strange talk is that after the death of the "older sister", a family moved out of their place of residence and rented out their house. They passed by the animation stage and used the vision of a tenant to look at the house and saw that the room was rented out.
After that, the real dungeon started, they were like being entangled by ghosts and entered some kind of barrier, the room's decoration changed back to the state where a family of four lived before. The change between the master bedroom and the secondary bedroom wasn't big, but the "younger brother's" room changed back to a children's room that wasn't suitable for human residence, and on the balcony there were also many miscellaneous items that belonged to a family of four at that time.
Now the villa in front of the eyes is transformed into an effective Tinh Nguyet apartment.
Tieu Lanh's eyes moved, his head tilted towards the front of the stairs.
In "Passing by the Stage Animation", the staircase is the real focus. To be more precise, the main focus of this strange conversation should be the old, dilapidated wooden door leading down the staircase.
No surprise there, that wooden door should still be there.
Tieu Lanh held his breath, walking step by step towards the stairs. As he got closer, he indeed saw that wooden door.
On the right side of the stairs leading forward, leading to the second floor, on the left side of the stairs leading down, behind five short steps there is a small high throne, a wooden door is set in that high throne.
But compared with the picture on the stage, this wooden door looks very new, the white door paint is completely shiny.
Moreover, in the passing stage image, the silver latch on the door handle was removed, revealing a hole in the original latch location, and a hole was also made on the wall, used to hang the bronze lock.
But now, the door handle is perfect, there is no movement on the wall, the door panel style is consistent with the overall decoration style of the villa, if he did not see the problem here in the passing stage image, he definitely would not have come to check this place in the first place.
Tieu Lanh stepped forward and grabbed the door latch. Because he had suspected that this place was an apocalyptic topic, he couldn't help but hold his breath, his eyes fixed on the door's innermost layer.
Because this door is not old, when pushed open it does not make the expected creaking sound, but opens directly with silk.
Inside the door, there were no zombies or ghosts that directly rushed out. Xiao Leng's tense nerves could relax. He looked up and saw several more steps leading down, the last step leading to a narrow passageway.
The small passage was built with rough wooden planks, and was underground without windows. At first glance, the decoration style was even more oppressive than the altar above.
Xiao Leng looked out, the entire small passage was roughly 45 to 10 meters long, and there were many square windows on both sides of the passage. He looked closely, there were two different sizes in total, neatly arranged in a row, "One big and one small".
The window is separated by a metal plate, at first glance it looks very similar to the tunnel entrance commonly seen in movies, after opening the metal plate you can go through to a deeper underground space.
I have to say, this kind of structure, at first glance, looks more like a raised zombie.
Xiao Leng walked down the few steps in front of him, turned around and headed towards the stairs. The corner of the stairs was built into a small room, but when he opened it, there was no Harry Potter inside, but a metal cabinet.
He opened the cabinet door, inside were more than ten keys, each with a numbered sticker. He took one out at random, and immediately froze as if struck by lightning.
——Going downstairs and then coming back to get the key, this series of actions, were his subconscious actions. He seemed to be very familiar with all of this, but in reality, he shouldn't have known that there was a key here.
Tieu Lanh breathed a little cold all over his body, stabilized his mind, and looked at his watch.
The current time is 3 pm, the rule says there are still two hours left before the next meal starts, and the end time is four hours, with a surplus.
So he should have arrived in time to do two things: 1. Find out what exactly is in front of those windows; 2. Find his teammates.
Xiao Leng looked at the key that he casually took out. There was a "03" sticker on the key. He guessed that there should be a corresponding number on the window, so he walked towards the narrow long passage, trying to find this number.
But just as he approached the nearest two windows, a warm female voice rang out from under the model: "You're back!"
Dark end of the small passage, dark wooden floor under, happy female voice...
This is a creepy situation.
Xiao Leng paused and looked at the window that emitted laughter——the two large and small windows were really close together, with only about 5 centimeters of space between them. The large window had an "01" sticker on it, while the small window didn't have any numbers, but with such a close distance, these two windows should be connected to the same space.
Xiao Leng was about to turn around to get the key with "01", when behind the same "01" opposite the "02" window, a voice shouted: "You're back!"
Next, the small passage in front of the house rang out more and more: "You're back!"
"You're back!"
Tieu Lanh listened silently, most of the voices were female, only two or three were male.
He paused, simply not turning back to look for the "01" key, walked a few steps ahead, directly went to the front of the "03" window, squatted down, and inserted the key into the metal plate lock.
With a small "Crack" sound, the metal plate was unlocked. Xiao Leng opened it, revealing a female student facing forward looking around.
The female student has a round face, at first glance she looks kind and harmless, but just based on this alone is not enough to judge whether she is an NPC or a teammate.
Tieu Lanh pondered for a moment: "Are you living in this 188th block of the district?"
"... Ah?" The female student was clearly confused.
Then, a few meters away, a servant from another window shouted: "Building 188? I live in building 188! I live in building 188, unit 188!"
"...?" The round-faced female student became even more confused.
What address is this? Thien Thong Uyen is not that big!
Xiao Leng turned his face away, judging that the sound came from the 08 window, he went back down the stairs, simply picked up the key, then walked towards 08, and opened the metal plate.
In order to avoid the real name being heard by the fake strangers, causing unnecessary trouble, 08 didn't say anything more. After Xiao Leng opened the window, he saw her holding up a piece of paper: "I'm Ye Xi, who are you?"
Tieu Lanh smiled faintly: "Egg tart for dinner?"
"Oh..." Diep Tich's face showed understanding.
The appearance of the familiar person made her instantly relax, then she sized up Xiao Leng, throwing out a series of questions: "What kind of place is this? Why are you on top? Where are the others?"
Tieu Lanh reached out his hand towards the window: "I'll pull you up first."
"... No." Diep Tich indignantly refused.
Tieu Lanh: "For what?"
"My rules don't allow it." Ye Xi said few words but meant much, "It seems like you can go out to work, but according to the rules, you can only make this kind of request when you come here to deliver food, and I don't know if it's true or not."
She paused for a moment, then hesitantly said: "You understand the rules differently than me, right?"
"That's right." Xiao Leng nodded in acknowledgement, and suddenly a helpless but kind-hearted reminder rang from the window next to Ye Xi, "Hey… Next door, don't say anything! What if he's not a good person!"
"?" Diep Tich and Tieu Lanh looked at each other.
This kind reminder made them simultaneously realize something not so good.:,,.
