"Let me knock on the door!"
Lin Ye raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Boom boom boom..."
There was a knock on the door.
Actually,
He had already used his perspective skills to see clearly what was happening in Room 203.
He woke up at 6:10 this morning. He used his perspective skill again, and the black fog barrier that prevented him from seeing through the walls and doors had disappeared.
This was also the basis for him to judge that the "weirdness" had completely disappeared and would not appear again.
From 10 pm to 6 am the next day, it is the time of strange activities, and the whole villa is under the influence of strange forces.
'Boom boom boom...'
The knocking on the door continued.
But there was no sound in the room.
Lin Ye looked at the passerby lying motionless on the ground, wondering if he was dead!
"no one?"
Are both new and old players dead?
Leng Shuang and Asuna couldn't help but raise the level of danger of the strange visitor last night.
It is normal for a high school student to die, but it is a problem that a veteran player and a level 3 passerby also died.
Remember, it’s only one night!
In other words, once the door is opened, there is no chance of struggling to survive? How can this not make several old players worried!
"Boom boom boom!"
"It's us, passers-by, open the door,"
"High school student, open the door."
Lin Ye knocked again, but there was still no movement.
However, when Lin Ye took another glance, he clearly saw that the passerby lying on the ground had opened his eyes and looked uncomfortable. He seemed to want to open the door, but he was completely unable to get up and move.
"Go find the maid and ask if she has a spare key."
Lin Ye spoke.
"A spare key?"
If there is a spare key, then couldn't the weird person have used the spare key to enter last night?
"I'll be there right away,"
Asuna agreed.
"Ms. Leng, please accompany Asuna!"
"can."
Leng Shuang did not refuse, and the two of them immediately left and went to the first floor.
At this time, the maid should be in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
But the biggest problem is that the weird person who visited last night was a maid, so will the maid attack them during the day?
With this doubt in mind, Asuna and Leng Shuang came to the first floor and went to the kitchen.
As expected, it was different from what I expected.
The two of them found the silver-haired maid Lisa busy in the kitchen.
"My two guests, it is not yet time for breakfast. Please wait a moment."
Lisa immediately put down her homework, looked at the two of them with a smile and said,
In the kitchen, many ingredients have been processed, eggs are being fried in a frying pan, making a sizzling sound, and a faint tempting aroma is spreading.
"Good morning, Lisa. Do you have a spare key for room 203? We knocked on the door, but our friend didn't respond, so we're a little worried."
Asuna asked after organizing her words.
Leng Shuang stared, capturing the maid's every reaction and expression.
"Oh, no way! Is it possible that the guest went out for a walk on his own?"
But in the face of Asuna's denial,
The silver-haired maid showed a look of astonishment, "I will go to the fourth floor to get the spare key right away."
But at this point, she noticed the fried eggs in the pan and said, "Can you please wait a moment for me to cook these eggs?"
Asuna wanted to just let her come, but Leng Shuang spoke first, "Okay, we'll wait for you."
Can't be separated, that's what Leng Shuang thinks.
Now that something strange has already happened, acting separately would give the strange creatures lurking somewhere an opportunity to attack.
"Thank you. It will be quick."
Lisa quickly fried the eggs, turned off the fire and made sure there were no safety hazards in the kitchen, then immediately went to the fourth floor.
Asuna and the other person were waiting at the stairs on the third floor. After a while, the maid came down with a spare key, and the three of them immediately went to the second floor.
"I'm sorry, I'm late,"
Lisa apologized profusely, and quickly took out the spare key to room 203 and inserted it into the door lock.
‘Click…’
As the sound rang out, the door opened and the scene inside was completely reflected in everyone's field of vision.
The passerby lay motionless on the floor, which immediately frightened the maid, and the career beauty who was farthest away also turned pale with fright.
This... won't die!
Lin Ye walked in first.
He was the only one who knew that the passerby was still alive, at least still breathing.
"Tatta..."
The sound of quick footsteps was heard, and Lin Ye came to the passerby and squatted down, "Hey, hey... wake up,"
He pressed his finger against the passerby's neck, "He has a pulse, he's alive."
Leng Shuang nodded. She looked around but didn't see anyone else.
I'm afraid the high school students are in danger.
Only the passers-by who were still alive knew what happened in Room 203 last night.
The passerby at this time stared at Lin Ye, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Lin Ye came closer,
After a long while, he heard the faint voices of passers-by.
"So hungry..."
"eat……"
Lin Ye almost doubted whether he had heard it wrongly.
"Guest, guest, what happened to him?"
The silver-haired maid Lisa looked at him worriedly and asked anxiously.
For her, if something happened to a guest, she, as a maid, would be to blame.
"I'm hungry,"
One sentence made everyone stunned.
"Maybe my friend has a big appetite and ate less last night, so he was hungry all night."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
After Lisa exclaimed, she smiled and said, "I will go and prepare breakfast right away. It will be ready soon. The guests just need to come to the restaurant on time for dinner."
The silver-haired maid was about to leave quickly, but Lin Ye grabbed her wrist and said, "Wait."
"Guest, what can I do for you?"
"I don't know where the friend who lived in room 203 is now. Has Lisa seen him?"
"Living together?"
Lisa tilted her head in confusion. "Isn't room 203 always occupied by this one guest?"
These words made everyone present feel depressed.
If the maid did not lie, then this meant that the high school student was in great danger and had no chance of survival.
"Sorry, I misremembered,"
Lin Ye loosened his hand, and the silver-haired maid bowed and respectfully left the guest room.
After the maid left, Leng Shuang spoke up, "Are you sure that what the maid said is true?"
"Not yet, but if we ask the lady who owns this villa, I think we can get a further conclusion."
'The player dies, and the characters in the copy forget the player's existence' This kind of scenario is not uncommon. Although Lin Ye has never encountered it, it does not mean that there is no possibility.
Lin Ye helped the passerby to the bed. He took out the bread, but the passerby showed no interest.
"It seems that you only have an appetite for the food in the villa restaurant."
Although the passerby did not say it explicitly, considering his current situation, Lin Ye and the other three players had a guess.
There are currently three reasons for the passerby's symptoms. The first is that he did not eat dinner last night. The second is the trauma after being attacked strangely. The third is the sequelae of his use of unknown props or strange objects.
But among these three possibilities, the first one is the most likely.
"There are still more than twenty minutes until 7:30."
Lin Ye walked to the window, drew back the curtains and opened the window.
The breeze blew in, and the fresh air diluted the depressing and gloomy atmosphere in the guest room.
"Asuna, help me."
Lin Ye pointed, and Asuna understood and walked over.
The target was the blooming chrysanthemum on the cabinet.
Leng Shuang saw this and felt that the two players had already formed a tacit understanding.
But Asuna's hand stopped moving, and a small piece of paper placed next to the chrysanthemums on the cabinet caught Asuna's attention.
The paper was placed on its back, with a faint ancient yellow hue, and black writing could be vaguely seen on the other side.
Asuna reached out and turned it over, and the black handwriting came into view.
【Mother said she was happy.】
【Is this happiness? 】
[I don’t quite understand.]
【But my mother did smile more. 】
【Maybe this is happiness! 】
[I hope he can bring more happiness to his mother! ]
……
……
Asuna's first impression after reading it was that it was a copy from a book, but a piece of paper suddenly appeared next to the chrysanthemum pot, and she didn't think it was useless information.
"Zero, Miss Leng, take a look."
