From the oil lamp in Jiang Chen's hand, it can be seen that the room is clean and tidy, with brand-new sheets, blankets and bed tents in contrasting colors, exactly the same as every player's room.
It looks perfectly normal.
But this was a room that had just been hit by lightning and caused a fire. Not to mention completely destroyed, it should at least look like it did after the fire.
This room now is obviously a new room that no one has lived in.
What about Ge Hui and He Xin who live there?
They disappeared with the blazing fire in the room.
Cheng Miao looked at the oil paintings in the room. The ferocious red canvas seemed to foreshadow the previous fire. The strange woman on the picture had her mouth cracked, which made people shudder.
Everything in the room is as it was originally, including the oil paintings and dolls scattered in every corner.
Cheng Miao and the others did not move anything, exited the room and closed the door.
As soon as they went out, Peng Sheng couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? What did you see inside?"
"Go in and see for yourself." Qi Jiajia has been in a bad mood since she changed rooms, and now she is quarreling with whoever she catches.
"Hey, you little girl!" Peng Sheng glared and was about to say something. When Cheng Miao and Qin Musong swept over him lightly, he immediately shut his mouth.
Who couldn't tell that the big guys in this dungeon were all surrounding this small group, and he was too anxious to speak so unpleasantly.
Gu Jian smiled and approached Peng Sheng, "Young man, you know, Miss Cheng is the only player who may share clues and ideas with you. If you offend her, you will be left alone."
Peng Sheng's face turned red and he wanted to say something but couldn't keep his face. Cheng Miao was too lazy to argue with this kind of person and briefly mentioned the situation in the room.
"So, people are gone, and we don't know why they died." Xiao Qing was a little frustrated, and Xiao Wen pulled her hand and asked her to calm down.
Sure enough, Cheng Miao paused and continued, "Although the oil painting in the room is still hanging on the wall, I estimate that before the fire, Ge Hui and He Xin probably covered the painting as agreed with us. Then There shouldn’t be much difference in room layout between them and us.”
Lin Zhu thoughtfully took the baton from Cheng Miao, "So the taboo they violated should be outside the room. They are timid and have always been with everyone, so they probably have no chance to act alone."
Yunsu turned the beads in his hand and said softly, "I remember they were the only ones who touched the painting."
The pupils of the players present shrank. They were woken up late at night. The corridor was dimly lit by candlelight, and there was a strange room next to a dead person. They were still discussing this here.
Cheng Miao saw Gu Fan rubbing his arms, showing some timidity.
"Of course it's not ruled out that they did something in the room that violated a taboo, but the most likely thing is that they touched the painting." Cheng Miao looked around and asked calmly, "Has anyone else touched the painting?"
No one said anything. After a while, Xiao Yan raised his hand tremblingly, "Does it count if I touched the frame?"
Cheng Miao shook his head, "Everyone has touched the painting more or less, so it shouldn't be counted."
Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief and looked better. He shook his head and said that he was fine.
Cheng Miao looked at the time. There were still a few hours until dawn, so it was okay to just stand in the corridor.
"Go back to your room and rest first. If you don't rest for five days, you won't be able to keep up with your physical strength." After saying this, Cheng Miao and Qiudong went back to the room.
In the end, only Xiao Wen and Xiao Qing were left. Their room was next to Ge Hui's room. They didn't want to go back, but the two of them stood in the corridor in a gloomy way. They had no choice but to go back to the room and huddle under a quilt to wait for dawn. .
Cheng Miao has developed the ability to narrow her eyes for a while no matter how dangerous the dungeon is. She vaguely heard footsteps upstairs and jumped out of bed as soon as she woke up.
Qiudong, who was still asleep in the other bed, watched Cheng Miao rush out of the room at light speed: ...?
As soon as Cheng Miao went out, he saw Xiaodao at the stairs on the third floor. He was walking downstairs. When he saw Cheng Miao coming out, he smiled and nodded to Cheng Miao.
Cheng Miao greeted Xiao Dao calmly, then stepped forward and whispered, "We had something to ask you last night, but no one opened the door. Weren't you in the room last night?"
Kojima showed a surprised expression, "Xizi and I were in the room last night, but we didn't hear you knocking on the door. Maybe we were too fast asleep."
Kojima bowed slightly and expressed his apology.
Cheng Miao squinted at the thin man. If he wasn't lying, it meant there was a mechanism problem. The owner of the castle couldn't help at night or in an accident.
"By the way, distinguished guests, what do you want?"
Facing Xiao Dao's slightly bulging eyes due to his thinness, Cheng Miao said with a heavy tone, "Lightning struck our partner's room last night and burned him to death in the room."
Xiaodao looked at Cheng Miao in disbelief, and then looked where her finger pointed. Then Xiaodao let out a faint smile, "Guest, you can't make such a joke. No one is living in that room."
Cheng Miao frowned, "We have eighteen guests, staying in nine guest rooms on the second floor. How come no one is staying?"
Xiaodao also looked at Cheng Miao strangely, "Guest, there were only sixteen of you in the castle yesterday."
Seeing Cheng Miao's ugly expression, Xiaodao looked at her reassuringly, "Are you not used to the room and are you having nightmares? I'll make some soothing tea for the guests later."
Xiao Dao took out a pocket watch from his jacket pocket, checked the time, and said to Cheng Miao, "It's still early, guests should go and rest."
Cheng Miao watched Xiaodao go downstairs, and with a creak, the doors to a row of rooms opened.
Everyone has woken up to feelings, but they haven’t come out yet.
Everyone heard what Xiaodao said, and everyone looked a little unhappy.
Cheng Miao went back to his room to wash up and told the players not to come across the painting when searching the castle.
The player was eating breakfast, and the atmosphere was very gloomy. Two people died inexplicably last night, and the NPC said they had never seen them before.
This is more terrifying than the NPC turning a blind eye and taking it for granted.
Perhaps seeing that everyone was really in a bad mood, Kojima came up with an attractive topic, "I originally wanted to take everyone to visit Xizi's studio, but Xizi is still not feeling well today, so let's visit my studio."
Everyone's faces flashed with joy. There really weren't many clues in the castle, and wandering around like headless flies would only waste the chance of survival.
After eating, everyone followed the island to the third floor.
Xiaodao took out a brass key from his clothes. Cheng Miao glanced at it and saw that the key to the door was there.
But Xizi's birthday has not been celebrated, so she probably won't dare to go out even if the door is opened.
The door opened and Xiao Dao walked in. The players looked at each other at the door, no one wanted to be the first one to enter.
Cheng Miao ignored the undercurrent behind him and walked into the room with his team.
