Chapter 42: Mountain Pool Haunted House (IX)

Feng Bujue briefly recounted the plot of the novel, and also talked about his experience of entering the cellar and the hidden missions he received. Afterwards, everyone could see his quest in the quest bar, but they could only see it, even if Feng Bujue completed it, he would get the reward personally.

Halfway through his speech, the lantern on the table went dark again because the skill time limit had expired. But Ruoyu and Beiling didn’t interrupt his narration, they listened attentively.

After Feng Bujue finished telling what he knew, he finally said in a concluding tone: “So…according to my analysis, the plot in this script should be like this. This family has inherited Huntington’s disease for generations, and this house It also has some kind of supernatural power similar to a curse. Roderick, the sister-in-law, has long been schizophrenic, so he will bury Madeleine alive knowing that she is not dead, and then he suffers from it himself The torment and complete mental breakdown. Until the night at the end of the story, her sister returned to the big house with the help of the mysterious power of the house, frightened her brother to death, and then died of exhaustion.

Madeleine’s soul should have been trapped by Roderick somewhere in the big house with her body, and the big house itself is very hostile to us ‘living’ creatures.

From a gaming perspective…

The main task is to find out the rules or weaknesses of this big house, and then escape. The side missions are obviously optional, they are nothing more than testing the completion of our exploration of the map. If we go to many rooms and search carefully, we can find all six ghost palaces and get rewards. As for the fate of the souls of the brothers and sisters, it is just a continuation of the plot of the novel by the script. It exists as a hidden mission, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t do it. “

After everyone listened to his narration, Ruoyu was the first to speak: “It’s okay, we can cooperate with you.”

Feng Bujue just explained the situation clearly: Clearing the customs is not difficult, the side quests can be done or not, and the hidden missions are not forced. He was about to ask Ruoyu and Beiling for their opinions, and asked them if they would assist him in completing the side quests and hidden missions, but he didn’t expect the other party to give the answer before he asked the question again.

“Then thank you both.” Feng Bujue said.

Ruoyu didn’t answer him this time, she really doesn’t like talking.

Bei Ling replied politely: “You’re welcome, we have to do the side quest. As for the hidden mission, it’s definitely not easy, we will try our best to help you.”

Feng Bujue immediately stood up and said, “Then let’s go back to the question that was interrupted before…Why did we come here at the same time?”

Xiao Tan immediately said: “Isn’t this house going to change? It only needs to change a few corridors to connect the spaces, and it will naturally guide us here.”

Long Aomin said: “You are talking about ‘how’ we came here, not ‘why’ we came here.”

Bei Ling licked his lips and muttered: “There are only a few factors that trigger this kind of event… a certain time has come, the item has been acquired, or…”

Feng Bujue continued: “The map exploration speed is approaching the critical point.”

“What do you mean?” Xiao Tan asked.

“Horror of the Mountain House knows?” Feng Bujue said.

“The board game?”

“Yes, that’s the one, what if the map tiles on a certain floor are used up?” Feng Bujue said.

“Then this level is…” Wang Tanzhi seemed to have thought of the problem: “There is no way to find a new map.”

“Judging from the current situation, it should be because the first floor has been searched, and we will go back to the place we have been if we continue to explore.” Feng Bujue said: “So we came to a room at the same time. The restaurant is the last piece of the puzzle that has not been opened.”

“Then… let’s go to the second floor next?” Long Aomin said, he reminded a little uneasy: “The brave man died there for unknown reasons.”

“There are three sections of ghost palace on the first floor, and one section is hidden in the cellar. The remaining two sections are undoubtedly on the second floor. If you want to make a branch line, you must go up.” Feng Bujue replied: “Also, the first floor has been explored now. It’s almost there, but the main mission has not changed, so…whether it’s the main mission, branch mission, or hidden mission, it’s impossible not to go up if you want to complete any of them.”

Bei Ling added: “As the final part of the script, the difficulty upstairs… or the curse power upstairs is obviously stronger than here. The traps on the second floor must be more dangerous, and there are more hallucinations and horror elements than here, so Only the brave who go alone will die if they are invincible.”

Xiaotan heard the words and said to Feng Bujue; “Brother Jue, listen up, you must have killed someone by splitting up.”

“Brother Invincible will die just because he’s not strong enough…” Feng Bujue looked away, showing that “today’s wind is so noisy” expression.

…………

After more than ten minutes, the five of them walked through several corridors and found a staircase leading to the second floor.

The wooden ladder exuded a musty smell, and it creaked when stepped on. Xiaotan was too nervous and accidentally broke off a rotten handrail with too much force, which surprised himself.

Coming to the second floor, Long Aomin took on the role of pioneer again. His new title [Squad Defender] gave him a special ability of passive skill [Squad Guardian]. Every time there is an extra teammate around him, his defensive power will increase. It can be increased by 10%. Although the attack, defense, and blood in the horror park do not display specific values, it does not affect the calculation of such bonuses. To put it simply, Brother Long’s current ability to resist attacks is 40% stronger than when he was single-handed. Even if he faced that powerful blood corpse again at this moment, he would not be knocked away by a single palm.

Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi followed Long Aomin, followed by a sad and smiling bone, and Ruuoli was in charge of breaking the back.

After walking for a while, Beiling suddenly patted Wang Tanzhi’s shoulder. The latter’s face turned pale with fright because of his tense nerves, but luckily he didn’t cry out.

“Hey, little brother Tan.”

“What’s up?”

“Discuss with you, let’s exchange an item.”

Wang Tanzhi said, “Which one?”

“Heh… what do you have?” Bei Ling asked with a smile.

As Xiaotan walked forward, he began to report the things in his luggage: “Well… I have a western-style kitchen knife, a baseball bat, and a slow one…”

Feng Bujue, who was walking in front of him, covered his face with his hands and shook his head, speaking thousands of words, turned into a sigh in his heart: “This idiot…”

Bei Ling was amused by Xiao Tan and burst out laughing, she quickly interrupted: “Okay, okay, are you really telling me everything?”

Wang Tan was stunned: “Eh? That’s right, you are the one who wants to exchange items with me, why should I report it?”

Even Long Aomin, who was at the front of the line, rolled his eyes and mumbled in a low voice: “This kid is really talented…”

“Don’t bully children.” Ruoyu said coldly from behind.

Bei Ling stuck out her tongue, then sighed to Xiao: “I’m sorry, I was joking with you, who knew you would really tell it.”

Dear Readers. Scrapers have recently been devasting our views. At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might...let's just hope it doesn't come to that. If you are reading on a scraper site. Please don't.

Wang Tanzhi is actually still defending Ruoyu’s previous sentence: “I am twenty-four years old this year!”

Feng Bujue finally couldn’t help it anymore, he turned his head, stared at Xiaotan and said: “Recently, I found that your EQ has become more and more refreshing.”

“Huh?” Xiaotan felt very inexplicable.

Bei Ling tugged at his sleeve again, “Okay, let me be serious.” She handed over the miner’s hat on her hand and said, “I want to exchange this for your flashlight.”

Xiaotan looked at the attributes, this thing is a piece of equipment, and it also has the effect of a lighting tool.

【Name: Miner Hat】

[Type: Armor] [Quality: Normal] [Defense: Medium] [attribute: none] [Special effects: It has lighting function and needs to consume batteries. 】

[Equipment conditions: general specialization F or equipment specialization F] [Remarks: A safe and reliable armor, the miner’s lamp in front of the hat is also very practical. 】

“How is it? I don’t think you’re wearing armor on your head. If you exchange this for your flashlight, you won’t be at a disadvantage.” Bei Ling said.

Xiaotan took a look: “But it’s not obvious that you are at a loss?”

“Yellow doesn’t suit me, and girls look silly wearing it.” She smiled slyly: “I think it suits you well.”

“No need, I have a head armor.” Xiao Tan replied, and he took out another new flashlight from his luggage (in the shopping mall, Feng Bujue suggested that everyone take two flashlights, and Xiao Tan I kept everything in my luggage), handed it to Bei Ling, and said, “I have two flashlights, I can just give you one.”

Bei Ling blinked her big eyes and stared at Xiao Tan’s face for three to five seconds: “Hey! If you don’t tell me, won’t you be able to get a piece of equipment for nothing?”

“Wear silly ones, keep them for yourself.” Xiao Tan replied with a smile.

Hearing this sentence, Bei Ling suddenly understood the meaning of the sentence “naturally cut is black”.

She took the flashlight, put the miner’s hat back into the bag, and said with a complicated mood: “Thank you.” There was no joy on her face.

“It deserves it.” Ruoyu made up a knife in a timely manner.

“It doesn’t seem right…” Long Aomin suddenly stopped, he noticed something unusual, “Did we already pass here just now?”

“After we came up, we were in a corridor exactly like this one.” Feng Bujue continued: “Afterwards, we turned left once and turned right twice. After each turn, the length of the straight line we passed was different, but it was obviously not in the corridor. Going around…”

“Did he fall into hallucinations, or…” Long Aomin only said half a sentence, he wanted to hear Feng Bujue’s opinion.

“It should be an illusion.” Shi Yu Ruoli interjected at the back of the team. At this moment, she had already stood in front of a long-length mirror, and saw herself in the mirror. Her whole body was normal, and her clothes and equipment had not changed. Only the position of her abdomen revealed her intestines.

In a second, both sides of the entire corridor were covered with mirrors. The change of the scenery was very abrupt, and there was no trace of space distortion.

Feng Bujue also turned around, picked a mirror that was closest to him at random, and said to the mirror, “That’s right, it’s clearer than an MRI.” He took a few steps closer and took a closer look: “Oh, intestines The details of these corridors can still be seen in the cross-section, which is very curious…”
