Chapter 36: Mountain Pool Haunted House (III)

“What do you mean? What is ‘ghost palace’?” Wang sighed.

“Are you going to ask, ‘Can I eat’ in your next sentence?” Feng Bujue asked.

“I’m past the age of asking ‘Can I eat it’ to act maliciously… and I’m serious now, okay?” Wang sighed.

“Look for yourselves.” Feng Bujue stood up, allowing Xiao Tan and Brother Long to see what he was looking at when he was squatting just now.

After the two got closer, they found that there were words on the wall, which seemed to be carved on it with a knife. The content was all in English, but the player opened the game menu and observed it to see the translation.

It looks like a short English poem or something, the content is:

[Deep in the green valley

Angels stand guard

Once there was a splendid palace—

Brilliant and dazzing – rising from the sky.

In the kingdom of “thinking”

stand tall

seraph never spread its wings

Pianlin Qiong Palace is so gorgeous. 】

“What exactly does this mean?” Wang Tanzhi was at a loss after reading it.

“Maybe this article is called ‘Ghost Palace’, and there are six paragraphs in total?” Long Aomin also made a random guess.

They all felt… Anyway, Feng Bujue was there, that guy knew everything, just ask him. Unexpectedly, when the two turned their heads, they found that the boy had disappeared…

“Brother Jue?” Wang Tanzhi looked around, then turned sideways and raised his head to look at the stairs leading to the second floor: “Where is the person? He slipped away if he didn’t pay attention?”

Long Aomin looked around but couldn’t find his figure, so he shrugged helplessly and said: “He said just now that he would split up, and he must have sneaked away while we were reading this passage.”

Wang Tanzhi said: “Then let’s look for clues too. Anyway, brother Jue said that the main mission has been changed and then come here to gather.”

Long Aomin nodded, and the two immediately began to investigate the first floor, pushing open the doors that could be opened one by one, and checking whether there were other passages of “Haunted Palace” or other clues in the room.

…………

Inside the complex corridor on the first floor.

The two female players are moving forward slowly and vigilantly. Looking at this formation, it is clear that they have already encountered some traps and the like.

At this moment, Ruoli Ruoli already held a shiny long sword in his hand. Although this item is only of ordinary quality, she won the title of [Relentless Beheader] with this ordinary weapon, which shows that it must have something extraordinary.

Sad Ling Xiaogu didn’t take out the gun, she made the same judgment as Feng Bujue, if the script was full of ghosts and traps, there might be no need for a gun.

“Eh?” Sad Ling who was walking behind was stunned for a moment, and said after a few seconds: “Ha…they actually found a side mission.”

Shi Yu Ruoli looked at the task content, and asked: “Shall we also cooperate to find this ‘ghost palace’?”

“Well… don’t bother looking for it.” Bei Ling thought and replied, “We don’t know what it is for the time being, and besides, we are just looking for clues now.”

“Then continue.” Shi Yu Ruoli responded, and moved forward again.

…………

On the second floor, Brave Invincible is in a very large room. Like the living room, the windows in this room are long and narrow, and placed on the high side. There is a distance from the dark oak floor. The red light shines in from the window lattice, just enough to illuminate the more conspicuous things in the room, but I don’t know this In the middle of the night, where does the red light outside the window come from…

Brave Invincible couldn’t see the far corners of the room or the caisson with fretted patterns even with his best eyesight. Of course, he didn’t care about these details, so what if he could see them clearly? He just needs to know there’s no monster lurking around the corner.

There are dim curtains hanging on the surrounding walls, and all the furniture is big and useless, old and dilapidated, and looks uncomfortable. Books and musical instruments scattered about did not add the slightest vitality to the room. It was as if there was a sense of sadness in the air, and the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere floated around, permeating everything.

After hearing the quest prompt, Brave Invincible glanced at the menu. His first reaction was that the two female players found something in the mansion, which triggered a side quest. He didn’t think the other three rookies could find this quest. of.

Although he is not good at solving puzzles, the Brave Man is a professional player at least. He is not good at reasoning, but he still has some experience in the game. He first searched the room roughly, looking for things like equipment or consumables. It’s a pity that the only thing that can be picked up and played in this room is an acoustic guitar and a broken violin. Using these fragile wooden products to smash monsters is not as good as fighting with his bare hands. The special ability bestowed by his title [Reckless Fist Fighter] It is to passively increase the destructive power of the fist.

Unable to find the equipment, Brave Invincible started looking for quest items. He didn’t know what the “Haunted Palace” was, nor was he interested in reading all the books scattered on the floor. He just walked towards the most clue-like place in the room. One thing – an envelope on the desk.

Of the other readable objects in the room that had fallen or were piled on the floor, only this envelope remained on the desk, weighed down by an inkwell.

When picking up the ink bottle, Brave Invincible found that some ink had printed through the envelope, leaving a smudge on it, and it had already dried. He picked up the envelope, blew heavily, and patted it lightly to dust off the dust before he tore it open, pulled out the letter paper and began to read.

The letter is incomplete, many places are covered with ink, and the rest of the letter is blurred in many places. Neither the beginning nor the signature of the letter can be seen, but judging from the visible content, the letter should be written by the owner of the big house to a friend.

The writer said that he was suffering from a sudden illness due to some kind of “curse” and was suffering from insanity. He was eager to see his best friend and only personal friend. He hoped that this friend would come to stay for a while. For some time, perhaps this will make his illness better.

The lines of the letter do reveal some signs of mental disorder, some of which are simply difficult to understand because the writer’s hands are shaking or the sentences he has organized in his mind are incoherent.

Although Brave Invincible didn’t see any clues, he still put the letter away and took it with him. After scanning the room for the last time, he turned and left.

…………

In a dark stone tunnel.

The light of a flashlight suddenly turned on, illuminating a short section of the road ahead. As soon as Feng Bujue saw the scene in front of him, he muttered: “The problem with this house is very serious… Castlevania, what is this? The space is disordered and there is teleportation?”

In fact, a few minutes ago, he didn’t mean to sneak away behind Xiaotan and Brother Long, he just walked to another wall in the living room, wanting to take a closer look at a painting hanging on the wall…
