Chu Yue blinked, as if she was suddenly stopped by the question.
His bright and clear eyes flashed with confusion for a moment, his head tilted slightly to one side, and he immediately reacted.
In order not to show her embarrassment, she pretended to be calm and walked downstairs.
Cheng Ye and Wei Sheng'an followed.
When she reached the small platform on the second floor, Chu Yue's expression remained unchanged as she stretched out her little finger and pointed at two rooms casually: "You live here, he lives there."
The two rooms are next to each other, facing the piano on the platform.
Wei Sheng'an looked at the room opposite and said nothing.
Chu Yue smiled and saluted respectfully again: "It's already very late today. The two warriors should rest early."
"Remember not to run around at night, especially don't go to the third floor, or you will be regarded as a hooligan. And remember to eat on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Wish you two brave men a good dream and good night."
"Okay." Cheng Ye nodded slightly and walked towards his room without squinting.
Wei Sheng'an followed closely behind.
The two of them entered a room in tacit understanding.
As soon as he entered the room, Wei Sheng'an changed his usual calm demeanor and said cautiously: "Be careful, there is something wrong with this copy."
Cheng Ye understood and nodded slightly.
"There's something wrong with this copy." Wei Sheng'an continued: "I can't describe this feeling to you in detail, but..."
"I understand." Cheng Ye interrupted Wei Sheng'an. This was an instinctive reaction of the body after experiencing countless games.
It's like a warning from your body when you're about to encounter danger.
Similar to "Nothing but familiarity with your hands."
The body already has this tacit understanding.
To put it concretely, it's like you want to stick your hand into the fire and the pain illusion projected by your brain to you.
You just know it, even if there is no reason.
Wei Sheng'an felt relieved and nodded: "We'll go out to investigate later."
"But the rules say you are not allowed to go to the third floor." Cheng Ye, like a good student, firmly remembered what Chu Yue said.
"It says: Don't get caught." Wei Sheng'an corrected Cheng Ye.
He glanced at Cheng Ye with a deep look in his eyes. He had never seen Cheng Ye listen to the NPC's words so much before in the dungeon.
Cheng Ye smiled slowly, his bottomless black eyes curled up: "That's it, it's a word game."
"Then I'll set it up..." Cheng Ye stopped mid-sentence.
This copy does not have a mobile phone, and the time on the system panel is not displayed, so it is impossible to know the accurate information.
Cheng Ye and Wei Sheng'an looked at each other.
They both laughed at the same time.
Wei Sheng'an stood up and opened the curtains: "Look at the moon, it rises in the east and sets in the west."
He held up his finger to examine the angle of the shadow through the moonlight.
"When the shadow reaches this position, let's go upstairs." Wei Sheng'an gestured.
Cheng Ye understood what he meant. Without an accurate timekeeping tool, he could roughly calculate the time through his shadow, similar to a moondial.
In fact, as long as it is completely quiet at night, it will be fine, but time will be deceiving after all, and having an auxiliary tool is always better than nothing.
but.......
Cheng Ye thought of something deeper: "Breakfast at eight o'clock tomorrow?"
"It seems we have to get up earlier and keep watch. When the princesses go downstairs, we have to go down together." Wei Sheng'an said lazily.
Under the moonlight, his skin looked even more crystal clear.
With this fairy tale, he looks more like a prince.
"Take turns? One person for one night?" Cheng Ye suggested.
"Okay." Wei Sheng'an had no objection.
This is indeed the least likely way to miss breakfast.
Although I don’t know what the punishment will be for not eating breakfast, but a fairy tale like this...
It is not impossible to turn a person into a statue by turning stone into gold.
"This is a newbie dungeon, so the danger level shouldn't be high." Cheng Ye analyzed it from the side.
This dungeon not only has prompts, but also guides for newcomers, and text descriptions will appear when touching items.
It looks like a normal copy of the guide.
"The newbie dungeon is a benefit for you winners, but it doesn't mean that no one will die." Wei Sheng'an smiled slowly, with cunning playfulness in his brown eyes: "You entered the main city by bus, right? .”
Cheng Ye nodded.
"Some people didn't find the guide on the bus and went straight to the west after the time expired; some people didn't find the guide, but they dared to try in the dark and fell directly into the dungeon. As long as they passed, they would still become official players, but they were gone. Gift pack for newbies; there are also some people, just like you, who are lucky enough to have at least 7 days to seriously think about how to survive the dungeon." Wei Sheng'an said slowly.
Cheng Ye's eyes flashed slightly.
So, when he sat on the bus heading towards the main city. The bottomless black hole under the grid, which is surrounded by green light, is really——
What a different world.
Hidden under the black hole, experience a different life by entering the copy.
"The newcomer dungeon is all-inclusive and will teach you as much as possible how to pass the dungeon in the future, nanny-level teaching." Wei Sheng'an added: "So it's not that simple."
"This way..." Cheng Ye said.
"I'll squint for a while. Look at the time. If you think it's almost time, call me." Wei Sheng'an said and lay directly on the bed, pinching a corner of the quilt and draping it over his stomach.
Cheng Ye thought for a while.
All the rules so far do not say that you are not allowed to go out at night, they only say that you are not allowed to go to the third floor.
He might as well go and investigate every corner now to see what changes will happen at night.
Thinking about it, he stood up and pushed the door open.
A skylight opened in the center of the castle, and the skylight poured down the pale moonlight, which happened to shine on the piano.
It's like there is a beam of light connecting the piano and the skylight.
In the light beam, there was a lot of dust dancing in it, and it was like countless glittering diamonds floating up and down.
Cheng Ye walked slowly to the piano, his back straight and his face hesitant. When he raised his head, he saw a window of blue sky.
How to describe this color? It's like being in the wild at three o'clock in the morning, the bluest part of the sky. It's so pure and flawless that it makes people relax physically and mentally without knowing it.
This deep blue color is as quiet as the color in the depths of the sea.
It seems to be wrapped in mystery and immersed in it.
Cheng Ye forgot the time for a moment. He just raised his head and stared at the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passed by, and he stood still, like a statue.
It wasn't until thick clouds suddenly covered the moon and the color of the sky became a little darker that he came back to his senses.
Cheng Ye laughed to himself and didn't understand why he stared at it for so long.
He looked down at the piano.
The quiet piano seems to have soft light wandering on it.
This is... the piano that the third princess likes, which was specially prepared for her by the devil.
Chu Yue's words rang in his ears.
"This is the piano left by our master. The third princess likes it very much. If you don't know how to play the piano, don't touch it. The third princess may be angry."
He retracted his outstretched hand.
Better not to touch.
Cheng Ye continued to walk downstairs, and the wooden stairs creaked at night.
There are several paintings on both sides of the wide spiral staircase.
The painting is full of roses, just like the card when entering this instance.
The overwhelming number of bright red roses are so delicate and beautiful that they seem to be swallowing up the castle.
Cheng Ye reached out and touched the frame.
The picture frame was cold, and a line of small white words appeared next to it: "The devil's favorite rose, all the red colors are painted with fresh human blood, be careful not to blur the color, the devil will be angry."
Cheng Ye was slightly startled.
Painting with human blood, this demon is also quite nasty.
He raised his head and looked around. There were six paintings hanging on the entire staircase. The roses on them were different, but they all wrapped around the castle, as if they were entangled with each other and surrounded by each other.
Cheng Ye put his head close to the painting and sniffed hard, but couldn't smell any blood.
It seems the devil also dealt with the odor.
Speaking of smell, there is indeed no damp and moldy smell in this castle, but the warm smell of being exposed to the sun, which is very reassuring.
Could such a comfortable place be the devil's home?
Cheng Ye laughed, lowered his jewel-like dark eyes, and walked downstairs.
Got to the first floor.
There are many rooms around, but they are all locked, and only the kitchen and dining room are open.
Those enamel tableware sparkled in the moonlight, reflecting the bright white light.
There was no sound at all.
There is something indescribably weird and quiet.
Cheng Ye walked over. They were no different from when they arrived in the evening. They were still placed quietly on the table, but something seemed to be cooking in the pot in the kitchen.
It smells a bit fishy.
Thinking of the painting just made of human blood...
He couldn't help but guess that there wouldn't be the same kind of meat in this pot...
He stepped forward and opened the lid of the pot.
It was a pot of greenish-reddish soup with a lot of unnamed grass floating on it.
It looks like a medicinal soup.
After opening the lid of the pot, the fishy smell became even stronger. People rushed out of the pot and wandered around, and the smell quickly spread in the air.
The smell was really off-putting, so Cheng Ye quickly put the lid back on the pot.
This smell would wake up all the seven princesses.
Is this something people eat?
If I had this for breakfast at eight o'clock tomorrow...
Then he would rather be punished.
There's not much to see on the first floor, except for a few paintings that don't seem to have anything special.
Cheng Ye retreated from the kitchen and walked towards the backyard.
The front yard is filled with flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables, and I don’t know what the backyard will be like.
After walking to the backyard, there was a girl...
......do the laundry?
Doing laundry in the middle of the night?
Cheng Ye stopped and stared blankly ahead.
The girl worked hard and rubbed it back and forth on the washboard over and over again.
A faint fragrance wafted over.
Black hair like a waterfall fell behind the girl, making her body even more petite. She seemed to hear the voice, and her palm-sized face raised, with an innocent and cute expression, and then turned serious. stand up.
Chu Yue said in a deep voice: "If you don't sleep well, why are you running around?"
The sound is clean and clear.
Cheng Ye seemed to have made a mistake and took a step back slightly: Surveying the scene?
Perhaps because facing such a pitiful girl, Cheng Ye couldn't be fierce, so he thought of a random reason: "Maybe I can't sleep well in bed."
Chu Yue kept tilting her head. When she heard that the great warrior could not sleep well, she stood up and walked away quickly towards Cheng Ye.
Her weak body swayed, and Cheng Ye felt that a gust of wind could blow her away.
She ran up to her and touched Cheng Ye's forehead with her weak hands. The delicate touch made Cheng Ye's heart skip a beat.
"It doesn't look like the poisonous miasma has invaded her, is it just because she couldn't sleep well?" Chu Yue's delicate little face raised, her clear eyes full of concern.
Cheng Ye was stunned: "Ah, yes."
"Come with me, I'll give you some soothing soup." Chu Yue said and walked towards the hall.
Cheng Ye subconsciously took a step forward and then froze in mid-air.
Soothing soup? That soup that was so fishy that I made you want to vomit?
No, no, no, no, no need to be so polite.
Cheng Ye forced out a smile and took Chu Yue's slender arm: "Don't worry about it, I'll just go back and lie down."
"Really?" Chu Yue stopped and moved closer to Cheng Ye. Her beautiful face was so close that she could even smell the fragrance coming from her body.
Her eyes are big and round, like the brightest stars in the sky, hiding the beauty of the stars.
Her skin was as fair as mutton-fat jade, and looked even more crystal clear under the pale moonlight.
This delicate body was wearing a large maid's outfit, which was like a sack. I really doubted whether it would be heavy for her to carry it.
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment: "No need, really no need, I'll go back first."
Chu Yue didn't stop her, she tilted her head like an exquisite rag doll.
For some reason, she felt a little lost in her heart. She always felt as if she had lost something.
Cheng Ye left as soon as he said it, as if he was running away. His slender body was drawn into a black line on the ground by the moonlight.
Chu Yue's eyes flashed slightly, staring at Cheng Ye's back not knowing what she was thinking.
.......
After Cheng Ye returned to the room, he sat there for a while.
I always feel a little distracted.
It's the kind of breathlessness that can't be described as if you've been in a confined space for a long time.
He opened the window and looked toward the backyard.
The maid has finished washing the clothes, and they are all hanging on the clothesline, fluttering in the wind.
She probably went to bed too.
Cheng Ye thought for a while, walked out of the room and opened Wei Sheng'an's door.
Three minutes later.
The two of them walked towards the third floor.
The castle had fallen into a silent, utter silence.
It was as if everything had lost its life, even the chirping of insects that might have occurred at night was gone.
It was like time was suspended and all living things were dead.
After arriving on the third floor, Wei Sheng'an pointed to the first door: "Let's see the eldest princess first?"
Cheng Ye nodded.
Wei Sheng'an opened the door of the eldest princess's room.
The door to the room was unlocked, and the furnishings in the room were similar to the room they lived in.
It was dim and dim, and the shadows of the furniture were intertwined and sparse.
A bed, a dresser, a wardrobe and a large balcony.
There are very few things and the room is very quiet.
Cheng Ye looked around, trying to find something special, such as a valuable treasure, so that she could see how much the devil valued her.
The third princess should not be the only one favored by the devil.
The answer is too obvious.
Cheng Ye thought and turned around to see what Wei Sheng'an was doing.
But he found that he was stretching out a finger to poke the person on the bed hard.
Um.......
It seems like poking the eye socket?
"What are you doing?" Cheng Ye couldn't help it.
"Fighting ghosts." Wei Sheng'an turned his head as expected and looked at Cheng Ye doubtfully.
His hand hasn't been pulled out yet.
Cheng Ye stared at Wei Sheng'an's fingers all the way down, only to see his well-joined fingers inserted into the female ghost's eye hole.
I didn't know what to say for a while.
The two looked at each other and neither spoke.
The bright moonlight shone in, illuminating half of Wei Sheng'an's body. The expression on his face was half-smile, as if he had found something interesting again.
And Cheng Ye could see everything on the bed very clearly.
You can see that there is some kind of princess on the bed, it is obviously a ghost who has died long ago.
Just a withered corpse.
Wei Sheng'an's fingers were still inserted inside.
"..." Cheng Ye moved his mouth, but still didn't know what to say.
"Go and have a look in other rooms?" Wei Sheng'an pulled out his finger disapprovingly and suggested.
Cheng Ye: "...Okay."
If the princesses in other rooms are all dead, does that mean the princesses are all female ghosts?
No, there should be a living princess who is his real bride.
Cheng Ye's thinking was quick. This was just a new player. Perhaps the first lesson the system wanted to teach them was to learn to try boldly in the dungeon.
NPCs can lie, so things that NPCs say they are not allowed to do do not necessarily mean they cannot be done.
If the NPC says there is danger, it most likely means that this will be a clue.
So tonight I went up to the third floor to check.
If they hadn't looked, they wouldn't have discovered that the princess was dead.
This copy is indeed very simple. Just check the princesses in each room. The dead one is the female ghost, and the living one is his bride.
The only difficulty is probably time.
They only have seven free days to stay.
When Cheng Ye left this room and arrived at the second room, he figured out all the clues.
He thinks this makes the most sense.
After all, it's just a newcomer's copy.
As soon as they opened the door to the second room, there was the sound of bodies turning over on the bed.
The two looked at each other and quickly retreated.
Then he walked quickly downstairs.
The two didn't have any communication, but they understood each other very well.
In the evening, NPC Chu Yue said that the people on the third floor are all princesses, which means that during the day, they all look like princesses, and only at night will they show their true colors.
The sound just now was nothing more than two situations.
One, it's going to be dawn, and they're going to wake up.
Two, the second princess is the real bride, she is not asleep yet.
But no matter which one it was, they had to go downstairs quickly.
Because the NPC said that if you are treated as a gangster, you will be punished.
No matter how you think about sneaking into a girl's room without sleeping in the middle of the night, you must be a gangster.
...
The two returned to the room.
Wei Sheng'an said bluntly: "I guess there are restrictions. You can only check one room every night. There are seven princesses in total, so you can stay for free for seven days."
"There is another possibility." Cheng Ye said what he had just speculated: "The order of the rooms today is the eldest princess, the second princess, the third princess... all the way to the seventh princess."
"But the next day, they might change rooms, otherwise they wouldn't tell us repeatedly that we only have seven days of free stay."
That's the difficulty with time.
If you can change rooms, how can you find the real bride within seven days?
Wei Sheng'an nodded in agreement.
"Also." Cheng Ye's thoughts were completely opened up: "The maid once asked me to communicate with the princess more. Based on what the dungeon said, I can take one princess out of the forest every day..."
"...that is: first, if I am not familiar with them, they may not come with me, so seven days may not be enough; second, the princess is also eager to leave this castle, and among them Maybe he’ll lie to me.”
Wei Sheng'an looked at Cheng Ye with satisfaction.
He really felt that he had made great progress, as if he knew how to play the dungeon with almost no teaching.
A talented player.
It seems that my chances of realizing my wish are better.
...
ps: I don’t know if you have ever experienced that your sixth sense has told you that something bad will definitely happen, and you have tried very hard to avoid it, but we are like a certain point on a line, and we can only Keep driving forward, that thing is blocking the middle of the dots, and you can't get around it no matter how hard you try.
Will definitely hit.
