Treacherous Collector

Chapter 36 I'm a Mixed Race

"Why hasn't he come back yet? How about I shake it first, it's too boring."

"I think it's okay, anyway, the rules don't say that you can't shake it continuously."

After that, Lu You rolled the dice, the little thing landed in the sensing area, wandered around for a while and stopped slowly, it was 6 o'clock!
The villain jumped six squares on the chessboard and stopped at the "jump six more squares" sign. The villain jumped six squares again and stopped at the "elevator".

The chessboard was turned over, the floor number changed to -1, and the villain jumped six squares, staying on the word "Lost" within the range of "No. [-] Wax Museum".

A dense pile of words appeared on the back of the chessboard:
Ask ghosts for directions (group task):

The villain lost his way on the negative floor, maybe we need to find someone to ask the way, right!Can ask. "they".

Front: Please send a member of this group to the wax shop on the west side of the first floor to retrieve two candles, light them after retrieval, and turn off the light source in the corridor.

1. Everyone lines up at the back door of the convenience store in order, closes the door, and assigns serial numbers from the beginning to the end of the line.

2. Players with serial numbers one and two (that is, the first and second in the team) each hold a candle.

3. Players start in order, one person at a time. After starting, please close the door and place the candle on the candlestick on the ground to the west (left side) of the door to return.

4. After returning, please go to the end of the queue and wait for the next round of games.

5. Start from the third player to go out empty-handed, pick up the candle closest to you after confirming that the door is closed, and then place it on the next empty candlestick along the way.

6. After placing a certain number of rounds, the sequentially arranged candlesticks will be exhausted, and a shrine will be replaced. There are two small candlesticks on the shrine. Place it on it and take back the inscription to complete the task.

When you return, you need to knock on the door three times rhythmically. Players in the room, please pay attention. If the number of knocks on the door is other numbers, you have reason to suspect that the teammate outside the door has been "replaced".

Note: The game needs to be played at the back door of the convenience store, and all light sources in the corridor except candles must be turned off, including fire emergency lights and elevator button lights.

Important note: Do not carry other light sources except candles after going out.

Han Yang came behind Lu You at some point, and stared at the task with great interest. Lu You didn't bother to read, so he handed over the chessboard for them to read.

There were only five people in one group. Lu Hao went to the car wash shop to find the keys and still hasn’t returned. In other words, there will only be four people playing the game later. This number is not very auspicious.

Lu You touched the back door by himself and took a look. It was pitch black outside, but the emergency lights of the fire exits were still on, but unfortunately the brightness was negligible.

"I'm going to get the candle, and turn off the power by the way."

After reading the rules, Han Yang volunteered and went out through the front door regardless of everyone's reaction.

Lu You was also happy to relax, went to the corridor at the back and smashed all the fire notice signs.

Straightening up and clapping his hands, Lu You noticed that there were candlesticks one after another next to the back door of the convenience store, extending all the way to the end of the corridor.

Lu You returned to the bar and continued to fiddle with the computer, but the museum management system suddenly popped up a reminder.

"Discover new collections"

Lu You clicked on the pop-up window, and the computer automatically jumped to the details page of the collection.

"Collection - Wind Chime:"

"Danger Level: Unknown"

"Function: Give the user the ability to psychic. After psychic, they can perceive the memory related to the obsession of nearby spirits. As a backlash, the user will also face his own demons."

"Appearance location: [-]nd basement floor"

Lu You was startled, and wanted to call Han Yang to stop, but unfortunately he had gone far away.

"Cough, cough, what, my stomach hurts a little, I'm going to go to the bathroom."

Lu You said to the other two, then stood up and walked out through the front door.

The door of the central control room still had the claw marks and gaps left by the fight just now. Lu You stretched out his hand and pushed it open, and pulled open the switch with the "Nanta West Freight Elevator" sticker on it with ease.

With his hands in his pockets, he went back to the convenience store humming a song, and was about to go out the back door to take the elevator when someone stopped him.

"Young man, don't force yourself at all times in your life. If you are really constipated, then wipe your ass and leave."

It turned out that it was the blind man who lowered his head and fiddled with his own cards after leaving a nonsensical sentence.

Lu You couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only curse secretly for being crazy.

The elevator button flashed a faint yellow light, and the candlestick did not disappear after the corner of the corridor, but continued to extend for a certain distance.

Lu You's night vision ability is good, he can vaguely see a shrine not far away, it looks a bit like a city god's temple!
No wonder he wanted to bring back the inscription. It turned out that it was Lord Chenghuang, who was greeted at a loss.

Putting those weird thoughts behind him, Lu You pressed the down button of the elevator.

The elevator door opened slowly, and stepped in, only to see a strange man with high cheekbones and a narrow face standing in the dim light!

"Ouch." Lu You was startled and jumped back suddenly.

This cry also startled the strange man, he raised his head and scolded:
"Did you turn off the elevator power?"

Lu You pointed to himself and said, "Me? I turned on the power."

The man looked suspicious.

"Are you a human or a ghost?"

"I'm half-breed."

Lu You shook his head, but the man obviously didn't understand, so he asked:

"Mixed race? Yes, indeed, you look a bit like the Kimchi countryman next door."

"Go to your sister, you are the pickle people, and your whole family are pickle people."

Lu You didn't talk nonsense, walked into the elevator, closed the door, and pressed the -1 button.

This old-fashioned freight elevator moved extremely slowly, and it took almost a minute for the ink to descend to the second floor.

"What are you here for?"

asked the weirdo.

"You speak first."

"Let me just say, I'm a university teacher. I offended the leader and was fired. I'm short of money recently. I want to apply for this job to make some money."

"Who knows that they still engage in captivity, I would not have come if I had known."

Lu You established initial trust in this person, and subconsciously said:
"I'll go to the negative floor to get candles, this is the task of our group."

"Oh, I sneaked out. We don't have anything to eat in that place. I'm so hungry. I'll go to the food court on the first floor to get some ingredients for a meal."

Lu You gave a thumbs up.

"Cattle."

The man smiled foolishly and patted the back of his head.

"My name is Su Zizhan, how about you?"

"Lu You."

The elevator door opened again, the two walked out, looked at the signboard, and decided to part ways.

Lu You went to the wax museum in the north, while Su Zizhan went to the food court in the south.

"Brother Lu You! You can come to the food court to find me after you finish your food. The Dongpo meat I developed has a unique taste, and I guarantee that you will be convinced after just one bite!"

Lu You responded with a few words of compliment, went back and forth to the elevator, pressed down on the second floor, and searched for the exhibit wind chime prompted by the laptop.
