Chapter 9
This voice is very similar to Xiang Jiangming's. If you listen with your ears alone, it is difficult to tell whether it is his voice. Zhou Ran suddenly felt a little glad that she ordered the wrong reward and chose the "Night Owl's Glass Eyeballs".
In such darkness, the "Night Owl's glass eyeballs" can provide vision and let her distinguish the situation in time, but if she really falls off the cliff, I don't know if a junior "Little Red Riding Hood's Red Wine" can save her life.
"Do you want me to carry you?"
"I'll just take a break."
"Then you can rest quickly. We have to go forward. It's too dangerous here."
This is dangerous, so isn't it dangerous to move forward?
Zhou Ran raised her eyes and looked at the almost vertical cliff in front. She quickly adjusted her breathing, nodded and said to the air: "Well, this is too desolate, we have to walk forward."
"Yes."
The sound heard Zhou Ran’s unpreparedness, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance, but Zhou Ran tightened his body vigilantly.
Actually, she felt something was wrong as soon as she came in.
Because she was not sure if there were only two of them here, she did not rush to tell Xiang Jiangming that she could see it. She still understood the principle that a man was guilty of being innocent and possessing a treasure. Therefore, Zhou Ran just inadvertently guided him not to go astray, hoping to suggest that Xiang Jiangming could see it through these small actions.
But Xiang Jiangming showed no sign of accepting hints. Instead, gradually, his pace became more and more stable, and he did not need her guidance at all. Not only that, the footsteps also had a little joyful smell as they walked.
Although Xiang Jiangming looked careless, he was a smart person after all. If he couldn't even receive such hints, there must be something strange. So Zhou Ran closed her mouth vigilantly and swallowed her throat completely when she could see this.
Now it seems that I haven't said it...
Zhou Ran stood there, clumsyly squatting down and rubbing her ankles, but what she didn't know was that her live broadcast room had completely exploded at this moment.
[Ranran looks at me: I will be a member! I will be a member of the big and big members. Will I be able to say something to my wife? Don’t follow that guy anymore!
A good move to death: The young lady stopped! She discovered it! She had discovered it! It was a cliff, but don’t leave again!
Riding a donkey and eating pickles: A pure passerby, I watched her live broadcast for the first time. But if I really found out, it would be too amazing. If I were to do it, I would definitely be deceived off the cliff!
Qingfeng and style: The dog is let go of my wife, whimper!
User 700874: I have never seen this book before. Does anyone know its difficulty coefficient?
User 15524: I haven’t seen any old antiques like me. Maybe it’s a new book released by the platform. Let’s wait and see.
Room Manager: Double-click on love, follow the anchor and don’t get lost.]
Because it is a new book, the number of people in Zhou Ran's live broadcast room has instantly increased, and the number of fans is also jumping. As her level increases, the rewards in the prize pool are constantly being renovated. However, Zhou Ran is a player in the game, and automatically blocks the prompt barrage.
This road is an uphill road, but it becomes wider and wider. The plants on both sides have all faded down and their vision has become much wider. However, the jungles on both sides are dark and deep, and the black fog will occasionally turn into human form and float on the border.
If there are deep forests that cannot be entered on both sides and there is such a bottomless cliff in front of you, the game will be dead end.
Yes, there shouldn't be a dead end in the escape game. There must be something she didn't find. Zhou Ran unknowingly used her strength, reminding herself to stay awake, cheer up and check around carefully.
Sure enough, there was a small bridge faintly on the cliff.
The bridge was thin and narrow, and the cliff was steep and steep, so it was not something that people could easily get on. But the bridge was just there, as weak as a girl's tiny arm, and it made a sour sound when it swayed left and right.
"Have you had a rest? Let's go."
"alright."
Zhou Ran stood up, and the branches that had been floating in the air twisted left and right, and actually came over and grabbed Zhou Ran's hand. The thin ghost was next to Zhou Ran's hand, and for a moment it was cold, and then it hung the temperature and touch of humans.
It seems that after it was sure that Zhou Ran would not doubt it, even those who disguise began to lose their minds.
So Zhou Ran deliberately pretended that she couldn't use her strength and walked a few steps forward, secretly observing the reaction of the branches. The thing did not move at all, but just wanted to walk to the edge of the cliff impatiently!
Zhou Ran immediately understood.
It tried so hard to trick her into jumping off the cliff, but did not kill her directly, which means that it could not kill people at the moment! Maybe it would take a specific time, or maybe it would be a specific location and some triggering condition.
In short, Zhou Ran can be sure now that it cannot do it now.
"Let's hurry up..."
"etc."
"Why." The voice really began to get impatient and asked boldly: "Are you going to hold me back now?"
Zhou Ran didn't plan to move forward anyway, so she said casually: "The wind is a little loud, and the terrain in front seems to have changed. Let's be careful."
"What's there to be careful about?"
"We can't see anything, of course we have to be careful."
"What a mess? What are you afraid of when you follow me? Do I make you so insecure? Don't you love me anymore?"
This thing seems to recognize Zhou Ran and Xiang Jiangming as a couple.
"No, I don't love you, I just want to remind you..."
Zhou Ran stopped halfway through her speech, and suddenly quieted around her, with only the hissing sounds of wind and the sounds of insects hitting into the black fog. Zhou Ran stopped talking, her mouth was pursed into a line, and the wind carried the broken pieces in front of her forehead, revealing a small face with a slight sweat.
"You've found it." The voice suddenly became cold.
Zhou Ran took a step back, and his hand hanging down to his side quietly reached into his pocket, holding the pen he was carrying with him.
When she said the words "I don't love you", she knew she was trapped.
Because the branches are things in this world, they must be very clear about the identity of the players and their relationship. They start to test Zhou Ran when they pretend to be impatient, guiding Zhou Ran to think that it does not know their true relationship.
Under normal circumstances, Zhou Ran would definitely scold Xiang Jiangming for being crazy, instead of responding perfunctorily, "Not you don't love you."
This thing is smarter than she thought.
Zhou Ran turned around, but her eyes deliberately staggered the exact location of the branches, making it think that it was actually invisible so that she could quickly escape later: "Yes, you are not Xiang Jiangming, who are you?"
"You actually discovered it!"
Zhou Ran was highly focused, her fair wrist was dyed with a thin layer of red, and her blood vessels became more and more obvious.
Unexpectedly, the voice was not only not angry, but slowly faded from murderous intent, and he said a little annoyed: "Why did you find out, where did I reveal it? I thought I was the best at disguising in the castle."
Zhou Ran frowned.
"Well, I admit, I'm the butler of Hell Valley, you can call me Cora."
As he said that, the branch turned into a middle-aged man in a dark purple tuxedo. The man was very tall, with blonde hair and blue eyes, with a tall hat on his head, and holding a bunch of grapes in his hand to bow to Zhou Ran. When he raised his head, the surroundings gradually became brighter.
The fog faded, and a little orange sunlight appeared in the mountains. Zhou Ran stood very straight, and a graceful shadow fell on the golden hillside.
Kola looked at her infatuation and said respectfully to Zhou Ran: "Congratulations, honorable guest, you have successfully survived in the first level. Now I invite you to visit my young master's castle."
Valley of Hell? It seems that the game plot has been triggered, and Zhou Ran relaxed a little a little.
But this should be a mountain, why is it called Hell Valley?
"You may wonder, this is clearly a mountain, but why is it called Hell Valley. The answer is very simple. There is a cliff ahead of you, and under the cliff is the Valley of Hell. Don't be frightened by his name. It is a beautiful castle, you will definitely like it."
"How can we go?"
“Just take the bridge down.”
The housekeeper stretched out a hand gentlemanly and reached out to Zhou Ran. Zhou Ran did not hesitate and took his hand.
"Your hands are so beautiful." Butler Kora's eyes flashed across Zhou Ran's white and slender fingertips. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Ran's eyes sincerely, and then praised without hesitation: "Your eyes are more beautiful. This is the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. They are ten thousand times more dazzling than the stars in the night sky. I really want to use oil paintings to describe them."
No girl doesn't like praise. The breeze gently blew Zhou Ran's hair, she smiled and said to him: "Thank you."
"I didn't lie, please hurry up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them stood on the narrow bridge in an instant. Zhou Ran felt that her feet were shaking gently, and the bridge sank. The speed was neither fast nor slow, just enough to allow people to adapt to the involvement of gravity.
After a while, the bridge stopped and Zhou Ran walked down. In front of him was a magnificent castle. It was a European-style building with a huge area. Behind the castle was an endless vineyard.
It was the daytime when the dazzling sunlight spread, and the round grapes were purple-red, looking delicious and tempting.
"Have everyone else come?"
"You are the first one. The young master is choosing red wine in the basement. You go to the room to rest first. When other players come, the young master will arrange for everyone to have dinner together."
"good."
"But before receiving the invitation, please do not come out of the room anyway."
The butler Cora brought Zhou Ran to a guest's room. The room was very spacious, with a warm fireplace, and several famous paintings on the walls were hung. They did not look like imitations. The furniture set here was also very luxurious, with lifelike carvings. Each piece looked like a work of art, reflecting the elegant and unique aesthetic of the castle owner.
"There is a tea set here, you can drink it as much as you want if you are thirsty. Of course, this is just ordinary tea. If you want to taste the delicious red wine in the manor, you have to wait for the evening."
The first NPC is probably what it does. After the housekeeper finished speaking, he sent the servant to bring two loaves of bread and close the door and go out.
‘Everyone will have dinner together in the evening’, ‘Don’t come out at will during this period’, this is all the information Zhou Ran got.
Zhou Ran walked to the bed and sat down, took off his baseball cap. Two small paper men happily jumped out of the hat and ran towards the fireplace. Although they were made of paper, they liked to cook fires around the fireplace. Zhou Ran told them to be careful, and then tore open the bread packaging.
There is no common sense in this world. Who knows what strange things are served at the dinner? At least the bread looks very fresh. Let's talk about it when you have enough.
Look, there is also a fresh jam filling.
Zhou Ran felt much more clear after eating the bread. She looked for something in the house that could be used as a reminder. She first looked through some newspapers and learned that this was an ancient country that did not exist in the world.
The owner of the castle was a king named Hizeriel, who was cut off his head for offending other royal members, leaving behind a son and a castle.
There are many precious scrolls and jewelry in the castle. After the King Jue was executed, the royal family scrambled to snatch it. The castle was eventually crushed and fell into the ground and became a ruin. Because it was often heard of the painful shouts of the King Jue's son and servants, it was called the Valley of Hell.
Zhou Ran walked along the walls of the house. After a while, she found that there seemed to be a story between the oil paintings. First, when Wang Jue was young, he was strolling around the manor on a horse. Then, when he was middle-aged, he was full of energy and was wearing a dress and holding the queen's arm.
Then there was the birth of Xiao Wangjue. Xiao Wangjue was still a little baby. He closed his eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked very happy. The picture of happiness continued until the baby grew into a teenager. Then the style suddenly changed. Wangjue was pressed to the execution ground and cut off his head. Finally, there was a lonely grave.
"This is the life of the king. He painted his life on drawing paper, including his grave."
Zhou Ran was very curious, would other rooms be the same painting?
"Maybe, the protagonist this time is not the king's name, but the baby?"
While thinking, she carefully observed that all the paintings here were the same size, only the tomb paper was very large.
The painting is a bit wet, the paint seems to be dry, and the painting is also very long. It hangs from the top of the wall to the bottom of the wall. A cross is pressed on the tomb, as if it is really floating in the air, with a row of small characters underneath.
Perhaps it was a survival prompt. Zhou Ran held her breath and put her eyes over.
