After Lin Chen put the notes back on the table, he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the guest room and anxiously looked down at what was going on in the garden.
He watched Zis walk to the iron door, knock on the ground, and say something to the housekeeper who suddenly appeared. Then Miss Anna walked out of the castle, and Zis smiled and stepped forward to chat.
Lin Chen knew the time had come. Qisi's part has been completed, and it's up to him next.
He trotted out of the guest room, went straight to the stairs, and climbed up the stairs quickly, climbing on the handrail.
It was only one floor high, but I stumbled many times because I was too nervous.
When he stood at the top of the third floor stairs, he was already panting and sweating.
The third floor is the same as the second floor, with only three rooms. The difference is that there is no clock in the corner.
Lin Chen clenched his fists, suppressed the useless hesitation in his heart, and walked deeper into the floor step by step.
Maybe it was a visual error, but Lin Chen always felt that the layout of the third floor was narrower and longer than that of the second floor, giving him the feeling of being in a coffin.
As he went deeper, this feeling became stronger, and it seemed that this floor would never end no matter what. For a moment, he suspected that everything around him had stopped at a certain moment, and even the passage of time was just an illusion.
Lin Chen's palms were sweating, and he shook his head, trying to get the inexplicable thoughts out of his mind.
"Qisi has done everything for Miss Anna, how can I not be able to do such a simple thing?"
With this thought in mind, he turned and walked towards a room.
Looking at the thick layer of dust on the door, he gritted his teeth, held the copper door handle with his hand, and pressed down tentatively.
It didn't turn and the door was locked.
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to open an unknown door in a horror game at all. Even if he didn't open the door to kill, he might encounter something scary.
He followed the same example and turned the doorknobs of the remaining two doors.
All locked.
"It should be almost done... Chiss just asked me to briefly explore the terrain..."
Lin Chen muttered quietly and carefully retreated towards the stairs.
When he was about to retreat to the stairs, a soft female voice sounded behind his ears without warning: "Who are you?"
The voice was made very finely, as smooth as the Shuimoqiang in opera. It was clearly Miss Anna's voice!
Miss Anna...why is she here?
Lin Chen felt that all the blood in his body had stopped flowing. He was so frightened that he was unable to react much.
He opened his mouth to shout, but his voice seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.
Found out, finished, dying...
Memories of the past twenty years flashed through my mind like a revolving door before death.
Lin Chen's heart was beating wildly, and he stiffened his back and turned around slowly.
I saw a little old lady wearing a red European-style princess dress standing at the top of the stairs. Her white hair was scattered on her back. Her wrinkled face was covered with rotting scars, and bones were deeply visible in her lips and eye sockets.
This was obviously a strange and horrifying sight, but Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
If only it wasn’t Miss Anna...
If Miss Anna doesn't discover it, there is still hope of living...
"Who are you?" the old woman asked in a sweet voice. The beautiful voice paired with such a face reflects a full sense of contrast.
Lin Chen took a step back and stumbled back: "My...my name is Lin Chen."
The old woman stared at him and asked, "Then do you remember who I am?"
Lin Chen was stunned.
He remembered that when he and Qisi parted ways, after Qisi took a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something, stopped, turned around and said to him: "No matter which NPC you meet on the third floor, don't give him a specific name casually. "
At that time, he was puzzled and asked why. Qisi smiled coolly and motioned for him to look at the third rule on the system interface.
[3. Miss Anna likes guests and has no ill intentions towards them, but please remember that the correct title is "Miss Anna" and not anything else]
The young man smiled slightly and said: "In any case, since the rules mention the issue of address, you must try to avoid making mistakes in this aspect."
Lin Chen suddenly realized.
Did Qiss already expect this? The boss is indeed a boss.
His thoughts subconsciously expanded and he recalled the memories related to Zeiss, including the speculation that "there may be two Miss Annas" he wrote on the paper. The black and white words were more vivid than any other information.
The identity of the ghost in front of him is ready to be revealed.
"Who am I?" The old woman looked at Lin Chen and asked again word by word, "Tell me...who am I?"
Lin Chen shuddered, swallowed his saliva, and said calmly: "You are Miss Anna..."
…
In the garden, the soft soil is evaporating with moist moisture, and there is no trace of earthworms in the deep black soil.
Qisi and Chang Xu both looked down at the corpse in the newly dug pit, speechless for a moment.
Chang Xu still held a shovel in his hand, so he was the one who dug the hole.
Qiss had just seen Miss Anna off and passed by when he saw this scene.
The body in the pit was covered in blood and flesh, but its face had been specially cleaned, and its appearance before birth could be barely seen.
He is a young man with a popular face.
Yan Rong's technique was very familiar. If Qisi hadn't recalled it and found that he had no impression of this face, he would have suspected that it was his own hand.
It is known that Miss Anna is used to throwing corpses at the door, so she will not have time to clean up the remains of the deceased. So who is the person who collects these corpses?
When he thought that there was someone in the world who had a level of burial that was almost the same as him, Qiss wanted to find that person to communicate with him. Unfortunately, that person didn't leave any unnecessary traces. He was as cautious and careful as him, so he just wanted to find out. Can look at the ocean and sigh with joy.
The deceased in front of him was wearing a white T-shirt that did not match the era of the manor, with a big funny expression printed on it.
Chang Xu judged: "It's the player. He died in the same way as Shen Ming. His blood was sucked dry by the rose."
This is the obvious conclusion.
Qisi asked casually: "Brother Chang, how do you know there is a corpse buried here?"
Chang Xu asked expressionlessly: "What did you and Miss Anna just say?"
This undoubtedly shows the attitude: everyone has their own secrets, which cannot be probed or touched by others.
Qisi understood and showed a sincere smile: "I complimented her on her good looks and asked her about her age. You also know that many girls hate talking about age-related issues, and then she seemed a little angry, so Leave me alone."
Chang Xu turned his head and looked into Qisi's eyes, probably trying to judge whether he was lying.
Qisi did not dodge or evade, and his expression was magnanimous.
The silence lasted for two seconds. Chang Xu seemed to believe Qisi's lies. He stared down at the corpse in the pit and explained: "One of my clues said that Miss Anna believes that death is the best nourishment for roses. I Therefore it is concluded that there is a body buried in the garden.”
Qisi didn't expect Chang Xu to be so honest and that he would actually explain things to him when asked.
Of course, until he saw real evidence, Qisi would not believe a word others said.
He smiled half-heartedly and said: "The word 'garden' represents about a thousand square meters of land. How can you be sure that the body is here?"
"Intuition." Chang Xu squatted down in front of the pit, "My intuition has always been very accurate."
"It's amazing." Zeiss complimented perfunctorily. He squatted down on the other side of the pit, wrapped his fingers in a napkin, and poked the corpse's face.
He quickly made a judgment: "Look at the feel, the time of death is no more than seventy-two hours. This dungeon is very busy, players come one after another."
Chang Xu raised his eyebrows: "You know a lot about corpses."
"Professional quality, being around corpses every day, you can understand even if you don't want to."
"Animal carcasses and human carcasses don't seem to be the same thing."
"It's just a preconceived stereotype." Qisi had already turned over the napkin, folded it, and put it in his pocket.
He stood up and looked down at Chang Xu, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Humans are animals too, aren't they?"
It was natural to say this, and it was clearly a casual tone, but it made people shudder without any reason to think about the meaning behind it.
Chang Xu suddenly raised his head and his voice suddenly turned cold: "Have you ever killed someone?"
"No, don't slander me." Qisi put his hands in his trouser pockets and teased innocently, "You talk about 'killing' so easily. You have never killed anyone, right?"
Chang Xu replied seriously: "Killed."
Qisi clicked on the meaning of the words and asked in a long voice: "Are you an armed policeman?"
"Absolutely." Chang Xu seemed to be hesitant, and after a moment of pause, he added, "The tasks assigned to me are basically to kill on the spot, and I have never failed."
"Is that so? Anyway, there is no way to verify it in the copy, so whatever you say is what it is." Qisi sarcastically said with a smile, while silently writing down the information.
He was keenly aware that this would be an exploitable point.
——People who are accustomed to performing killing missions can easily establish a conditioned reflex to kill.
What an interesting story to have a character who symbolizes justice take the initiative to kill innocent people under imminent pressure...
Ye Zi came over at some point and stopped beside the two of them. He frowned and looked into the pit. He said he was studying new clues, but it was more like he came to inquire about the two people's movements.
It was not wise to continue the conversation along dangerous topics. A gentle and harmless smile appeared on Qiss's face again: "Anyway, comrade police, if you encounter any questions related to corpses in the future, you can ask me. Simply determine the way of death. I can still do the work at the time of death.”
Chang Xu stared silently, without comment.
