Chapter 45: Mountain Pool Haunted House (XII)

The process of leaving the big house was unexpectedly smooth. After the magic circle ceased to function, the House of Usher became an ordinary mansion. On the way home, one of the obvious changes was that all the portraits on the walls had become random graffiti. It looks like messed up paint. As for the hallucinations and spatial confusion, they all disappeared naturally. The five of them quickly returned to the living room at the main entrance on the first floor.

This time, the door was kicked open by Long Aomin, and there was a gust of cold wind outside the door, but now even if it is snowy outside, the five of them will not stay in this room any longer.

A group of people walked out of the big house from the main entrance, and the system prompt also sounded: [The current task has been completed, and all the main tasks have been completed]

And Feng Bujue, who was carrying Madeleine Usher’s body, heard another sentence: [The hidden mission has been completed]

“Just take it out of this room…” Feng Bujue said, and put Madeleine’s body on the ground.

Not long after the corpse was placed, it rapidly decomposed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon turned into a white bone, and the white bone gradually disintegrated into dust after a few seconds.

A wisp of ambiguous air floated into the distance and dissolved in the red sky.

【You have completed the script, it will be sent automatically after 180 seconds】

“Happy cooperation, everyone.” Bei Ling smiled.

“Well, happy cooperation.” Feng Bujue said.

Long Aomin stretched his waist, heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Phew… this script is so embarrassing, it’s actually a scary thing, my fear rating this time must be very bad.”

“Brother Long, do you still consider the fear rating? I almost always get terrified and out of my wits. I only got it once when I panicked!” Xiao Tan said.

“Goodbye.” Si Yu just said lightly, and then patted Bei Ling on the shoulder, indicating that she could leave the script, and then disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Bei Ling waved to the three of them: “Goodbye.” Then looked at Xiao Tan, and said angrily: “Hey, thank you for the flashlight.”

Before Xiaotan could respond, she turned into white light and teleported away.

Feng Bujue said at this time: “Let’s teleport as well, settle the rewards, and then schedule the next script.”

Long Aomin said: “Crazy brother, I will be here tonight. The connection time I set is 11:40. I have played the game content for more than ten hours before you go online. After talking for more than three hours, if I continue, I might wake up tomorrow with a headache.”

“Well, okay.” Feng Bujue said: “Then Brother Long, you go down first, we two will continue.”

Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi said goodbye to Brother Long, and the three of them left the script one after another.

The autumn wind blew past the big house beside the mountain pond, and the world was still dull, gloomy, and silent.

The blood moon sank in the sky, and at the darkest moment before dawn, the gate of the House of Usher was abruptly closed again by an invisible force…

…………

Long Aomin took a cursory look at the settlement content and then went offline. Anyway, as long as the rewards in the settlement can be claimed at any time before the start of the next script, it doesn’t matter if they are temporarily placed in the login space. After the screen showed that he left the team, his name in the friend list also became greyed out.

Before Feng Bujue had time to look at the payment details, he noticed two friend requests. He clicked on them and found that they were sent by the two nicknames Ruuoli Ruoliu and Xiaolingxiaogu.

At the same time, Wang Tanzhi’s excited voice sounded again in the team channel: “Brother Jue!”

“I know, they added you as friends.” Feng Bujue said directly.

“How did you know again?” Xiao Tan asked, “Oh, yes…they should have added you too.”

“I can guess from your yelling.” Feng Bujue said, “There’s nothing to be excited about.”

“Aren’t you excited to have a beautiful woman take the initiative to add you as a friend?” Wang Tanzhi asked in a confident tone.

“Thanks to you, you can be considered tall, rich and handsome…how can you be so superficial.” Feng Bujue said: “Besides, even if they look crooked in real life, they can become beautiful in the game.”

“Brother Jue, if you always think of others like this, you will be alone for the rest of your life…”

“How long will I have to put a question mark in my life, why do I have to think about whether I am lonely or not?” Feng Bujue said, “Besides, when I was ten years old, I already decided that only by thinking about the worst in everything can I face everything calmly.” problem.” He was really calm when he said this: “Look at how calm I was when my parents passed away and when I found out that I was suffering from an unknown terminal disease.”

“Heh…hehe…well…” Xiaotan’s mouth twitched, speechless.

“But having said that, that woman-like heroine is indeed very powerful. Purely in terms of combat ability, I can say that… she is stronger than Brother Long.” Feng Bujue said , while accepting the two friend requests: “The number of players we have met at this stage is very limited. So far, she should be regarded as the strongest player I have ever seen.”

“Then shall we invite them to row together in the next round?” Wang Tanzhi asked.

“Of course not.” Feng Bujue said: “The previous sentence just said that the number of players we have met is limited, and you made a proposal to make it harder for us to meet new players.”

“Oh, that’s right…” Wang Tanzhi said, “In a four-player platoon, you will meet at most two strange players, or even none at all.”

“Anyway… I’ll check the settlement. I’ll call you when I’m done sorting it out. Let’s take a rest first.” Feng Bujue said.

“Understood.” Wang Tanzhi said, “I just want to check the settlement.”

…………

At the same time, the landing space seemed like rain.

She is also on the phone with Sad Ling Xiao Gu.

Sad Ling said: “Cousin, I have shown that they all agreed to the friend application, um… that Brother Long quickly went offline after agreeing.”

“Same.” Ruby said.

“Hey, cousin, you already know?” Bei Ling asked.

“Are you saying that’s crazy?”

“That’s right, he’s a novelist with ‘unconscious’ in his name, and he said he’s not very famous, so it all fits that kind of ignorance.”

“Maybe, but the name used in the game can’t be used as a basis.” Ruoyu replied: “Although calling himself a ‘big writer’… does fit Wujue’s style, and I asked him if he was a novelist. At that time, it was his very innocent friend who answered first… But I can’t be sure that he is.”

“Hey…what if it is?” Bei Ling smiled maliciously.

“That’s right, what are you laughing at?” Si Yu replied.

“Cousin, aren’t you his fan? Isn’t it every fan’s dream to meet an idol?”

“I just like to read his novels.” Ruoyu replied, her tone sounded calm, not like an excuse: “I don’t know anything about him, so why do you say ‘idol’?” She paused, and then Said: “What’s more, if it’s really like what you said… I shouldn’t even know and understand him.”

Bei Ling shook his head in his own space, and thoughtfully said: “Well…so…worship is the feeling that is the furthest away from understanding?”

“Do you think that if you say it in a serious manner, I don’t know that you are quoting Lan Ran?” Si Yu mercilessly exposed Bei Ling with a cold tone.

“Hmph… Anyway, it’s your idol, not mine. Maybe people will ignore you in the future because of your ugly face, eh…” Bei Ling stuck out his tongue at the screen and made a face, although The other party can’t see her at all…

“I just don’t want to be too conspicuous, but it seems to be a failure at the moment.” Ruoyu said: “If you show too much strength, many people will apply for friends… It’s a pity that you can’t change your appearance after a script. Otherwise, it should be changed to be extremely ugly, so as to completely prevent harassment.”

…………

Order studio, in the lounge.

Invincible Brave sat there glumly drinking coffee. He had finished his shift in sleep mode, and after an hour of rest, he had to go online in non-sleep mode.

“What’s the matter? Brother Invincible, did you hang up in the script?” A very thin young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old came and sat down on the sofa next to him. He was also one of the players in the studio, the game ID : [Swallowing Ghost Xiao].

Inside the studio, employees are basically called by their in-game names, because their IDs in all games are fixed, just like their job numbers in the unit. Top studios like “Order” generally don’t have to worry about the problem that some members’ nicknames have already been used when entering a certain game. They all log in to the game as soon as the server is opened, and sometimes they even directly invest in the game. Let the game company reserve places for these IDs for them.

“Ah…it doesn’t matter if I hang up, it was my own mistake. I immediately went to sort out another script, but I finished typing that script, and when I came out to see it, the script I had hung up earlier was actually cleared, and It was three rookies and two female players. I hardly got any experience points, which shows that my contribution is negligible…”

“What’s going on?” Gui Xiao asked.

“I was thinking about it just now.” Brave Invincible replied: “Could it be that he was slandered by someone pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger… That level 11 rookie called ‘Crazy Bujue’, maybe he was pretending to be stupid. Dazed, let me think he is a burden, and then act alone…”

“Oh… I see, at first you thought others were in the way, but in the end you realized that you were redundant.” Gui Xiao said.

“Which side are you standing on, kid?” Brave Invincible shouted.

“Hehe… I won’t talk anymore, okay.” Gui Xiao smiled and stood up: “I’m going home and going to sleep.”

“What? Is your shift over?” Brave Invincible asked.

“No, it’s the team leader who told me not to practice anymore and give me a day off.” Gui Xiao replied.

“What? The few days of the closed beta? Let you go on leave?” Brave Invincible’s eyes widened: “Are you also level 20?”

“Level 15.” Gui Xiao shrugged his shoulders: “The thing is… I killed Brother Wudao and his two followers in [Killing Game] mode, and they complained to the team leader, saying I can’t cooperate with them to improve their specialization level.” He said with a smile, “Hey… the adults now… can’t afford to lose.”
