He turned back to Xu Huo and said: "We found that there are many such secret passages in the castle, which can not only lead to adjacent rooms, but also to the kitchen and the main hall below."
"The game hasn't started yet, but Jin Chao thinks that the game may be related to the layout of the castle, so he wants to find out the passages inside in advance." Peng Ru said: "It is very dangerous to act separately, but it is too time-consuming and time-consuming for just the two of us. Commander, why don't the four of us act separately, I'll go find Miss Yan, and you and Jin Chao will go together?"
"Okay." Xu Huo did not refuse and reminded: "But be careful. The player chasing Yan Jiayu and the player I just killed are twins. I don't know if both of them can use that strange characteristic. .”
Peng Ru looked surprised, "I've never heard of duplicate features. If they have the same effect, it's probably a prop."
Xu Huo's eyebrows moved slightly, "I haven't had any in-depth interactions with them, so I don't know much about them."
Peng Ru nodded, entered the secret passage and left.
Later, Xu Huo and Jin Chao also entered the secret passage, but in different directions.
After exploring the secret passages for a while, Xu Huo discovered that most of these secret passages were not connected. To put it simply, they were more like another corridor between rooms. You can enter the secret passage from the decorative painting in a room or the bathroom mirror. The secret passage is connected to the movable wall panel or bathroom in another room, thus stringing together a whole row of rooms.
"This mode feels a bit like a haunted house." Jin Chao pondered.
But at this moment, the castle shook slightly. The two looked at each other and hurriedly went out from the secret passage. However, the environment outside had changed dramatically. It was still bright just now and it was completely dark. Only the moonlight shone through the window. The originally empty room also became crowded, and the disappearing curtains, beds, sofas, and cabinets appeared out of thin air. It was completely different from the place I saw before. When I opened the door and went out, the broken lights in the corridor flickered, and the walls and There are traces of darkness on the ground, and some old and broken dolls are lying on the ground or nailed to the wall, just like a horror movie scene.
"The hide-and-seek game has begun," the castle echoed with the puppets' unique high-pitched voice, "From now until dawn, the children who don't get caught by the puppets can get the prize."
"Everyone, hide now. I'm going to count, 10, 9, 8..."
The countdown started at ten, but actually from the moment the count started, the puppets in the corridor began to move. They hung their missing limbs or heads, climbed up crookedly, and walked towards the living people nearby with clear goals.
Xu Huo took out his sword, and Jin Chao next to him reminded him, "Although you won't have to kill the puppets again during game time, there will be a lot of little hats from the puppets. You must pay attention!"
Of course, Xu Huo would not kill the puppets at will. He returned to the room, closed the door, and pushed the cabinet to block the door. However, what he didn't expect was that a groove appeared on the wall behind the cabinet, and in the groove squatted a doll. The Ragdoll Rabbit, it pounces out with a ferocious face!
After kicking the rabbit out, he turned to Jin Chao, who was also besieged by puppets jumping out from unexpected corners of the room, and said, "We have to find a place to hide."
Pulling the stuffed doll behind his back and throwing it away, Jin Chao turned around and ran towards the secret passage, smashed through the wall and ran in.
Xu Huo hesitated for a moment and then entered the secret passage.
The secret passage at this time was also different from what he had seen before. Jin Chao had disappeared, and two stuffed bears were coming towards him. He avoided the bear hug and soared into the air, using the strings to move to the other side.
Jin Chao and the two were not the only ones who discovered the secret passage in the castle, and they were not the only ones who wanted to hide in the secret passage. However, there were also many puppets in the secret passage, and we didn’t know where they would appear from. After the high-walled passage enters the game mode, There will also be puppets on the wall above. If two or more puppets are caught at the same time, you are out.
After the first hour of chaos, the number of eliminated players increased, and the castle gradually returned to silence. The cloth idols lost their support and fell to the ground, replaced by some huge live animals rummaging in the room.
Xu Huo went out secretly, picked up a stuffed rabbit and smashed it against the cabinet. Then he climbed through the window to the next room and listened carefully to what was going on next door.
When the living bear broke the door in the corridor, other puppets also regained their vitality, and they all rushed into the room.
He looked out from the ajar door. After a while, all the puppets were left in the room. Only the live bear came out and continued to wander in the corridor.
When I took the puppets before, there was no movement from the other puppets. All the puppets entered the room only after the live bear moved. It was like a signal. Before it was sent, the puppets were in a standby state.
With a slight movement in his eyes, Xu Huo took out the body that he had put away before and threw it at the door, then hid in the secret passage.
On the stairs on the second floor, the shorter twin and the beautiful woman were walking up. The shorter twin suffered a head injury and was still wrapped in gauze even after using a self-healing agent. He gritted his teeth and said: "I must Kill her!"
"Come on, if someone can cripple you and then run away, it means you are not low in strength. Brother Tu has already said that the characteristics of you two brothers must be used together to prevent others from taking advantage of you. It would be better for you to separate yourself. It's embarrassing for a little girl to become a professional." The woman mocked the twins unscrupulously, but her voice did not attract the attention of the live bears moving on the other side of the corridor.
The two of them climbed up to the second floor and immediately saw the headless body lying in the middle. The short man's expression suddenly changed.
"Be careful of fraud!" The woman was reminding him, but the short man didn't care so much, stood up in front of him and ran straight over.
The woman had no choice but to follow him, and the two of them arrived in front of the corpse. The short man knelt down, pulled off the clothes of the man on the ground, and after confirming his identity, he said painfully: "It's my brother!"
The woman frowned and took a look, "I didn't see the head. Someone must have taken the head away. Move the body back first and discuss it with Brother Tu."
The short man glanced at her angrily, "I want to avenge my brother! He died not long ago, and his killer must be nearby!"
"Nine times out of ten, it's the other man among the two, and the time is right," the woman said, "The old man said he was scheming, and he used his head as bait. Don't be fooled."
The short man didn't care so much. He put the body away and said, "If you're scared, you can hide in Brother Tu's bed and cry."
The woman looked cold, but then said: "You will only rely on men as a mother? Brother Tu said, whoever kills those two players will get the windmill. Don't steal it from me."
"Don't worry, I just want them to die!" The short man pulled off the gauze on his head and pushed open the ajar door.
