Showbiz Escape

Chapter 67
The group of four continued to move forward, studying the map while walking, looking for a suitable new mission location.

Along the way, they met a lot of players here and there, obviously they had just escaped from their respective mission locations, and some of them were injured all over their bodies. It seemed that everyone was very vigilant, probably because they were worried that someone would take the opportunity to attack them. There are also people who are chasing after each other and slashing across the street. It is estimated that they are more inclined to clear the level directly by killing players in the same game than unknown new tasks.

Wen Zhuo thought about it, but in the end he didn't choose to join it.

In the Vanity Fair system, she is not a saint, but she is not a pure villain either. Unless she has to kill or meets a player she hates, she will show mercy.

Everyone has worked so hard in the entertainment circle, so if there is no embarrassment, then there is no embarrassment.

During this period, Tang Chunen and Jiang Zhou had a disagreement, one wanted to go south, the other wanted to go north, completely opposite directions.

Wen Zhuo tried to ask them what they thought, but the two said they were purely intuitive.

She suspects that the two of them are deliberately competing with each other for nothing. They are both adults, and they are still like children. They know that going out will erase their memories, and they still don't cherish the time they spend together in the game.

"Okay, don't argue." She said, "Since the opinions of colleagues and customers should be respected, it's better not to offend anyone, and just listen to Brother Chuan and me wherever we go."

Tang Chunen and Jiang Zhou: "... that's fine."

Wen Zhuo turned to look at Ye Lingchuan: "So where are you going?"

Probably due to the previous injury, Ye Lingchuan's face was still a little pale, and he met her gaze with surprisingly bright eyes.

He said: "Since we have come so far, why don't we just go further. Looking at the map, there seems to be a manor in the east. Let's try our luck?"

"Well, an interesting proposition—what do you two think?"

"You and Mr. Ye both said that, of course I have no objection." Tang Chunen patted Jiang Zhou on the shoulder, "The customer also has no objection!"

Jiang Zhou: "..."

Enough is enough.

******
In this small town, there is only such a manor in an extremely remote location, surrounded by green trees, with intricately carved round arches faintly visible, and the specific scene inside cannot be seen clearly.

Wen Zhuo looked around, and casually confirmed to Ye Lingchuan: "Then we're going in here?"

"I think it's okay." Ye Lingchuan smiled, "If you're not lucky enough, it will be the same wherever you go."

After all, the difficulty of the game is random, so far, it seems that there is no particularly easy place.

So he made up his mind, and Wen Zhuo took a step ahead, ready to go to open the door.

At the same moment, the watch pops up a prompt:
【Number of remaining guests in the manor: 5】

There is also a limit on the number of co-authors.

But this also shows that this game is played by multiple players, and they will meet other people in it.

……

After a long while, the four of them passed through the carved arch, and ripples appeared in the air, as if they had passed through an invisible barrier isolated from the outside world.

Thus, the interior of the manor was fully displayed in their field of vision, covered by trees, towering twilight gray stone pillars, exquisitely carved milky white doors and windows, reflecting the black tulips in full bloom in the courtyard.

For some reason, everything in this manor is filled with a quiet and depressing atmosphere, except that the spire of the tallest building is bright red, but the red is also very out of place, which only makes it more weird.

The more I walked forward, the more I didn't know where a strong fragrance came from. It seemed to be the kind of floral fragrance mixed with woody spices, so strong that it was a bit greasy.

Wen Zhuo didn't like this overly strong fragrance, she raised her hand to cover her nose, and then saw a well-dressed middle-aged man walking towards her in the distance.

He has a slightly exaggerated mustache, and his hair is parted and combed meticulously. He wears a tuxedo and a blue bow tie, resembling a figure in a medieval mural.

He walked up to him, put his hands on his chest, and bowed slightly to salute.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the manor of the Countess of Kester. I am John the housekeeper here. There is still some time before the banquet, and the rooms have been arranged for you, please come with me."

...What, are they here for a banquet?What about the room?

It doesn't matter, as long as it comes, it will be settled, anyway, the game process will be carried out step by step sooner or later, and it is useless to think about it.

In this way, under the leadership of the housekeeper John, they collectively went to a building located deep in the garden.

The building is divided into four floors. The lighting inside is dim. The first floor is an exhibition hall. There are a variety of collections in glass cabinets. According to the housekeeper, those are rare objects collected by Mrs. Kester over the years.

The corridors on the second and third floors are winding and there are many guest rooms. The place where they live is on the third floor.

"Then who lives on the fourth floor?" Tang Chunen asked.

Butler John turned around, and although he was still smiling, his tone was a little reminder and warning: "Beautiful lady, please remember not to go to the fourth floor, madam hates privacy being invaded, this is my advice."

"...OK, I understand."

I really understand, generally in this kind of game, the more you are not allowed to touch something, the more you have to touch it, the more you are not allowed to go, the more you have to go, so that you have a chance to get key clues.

But before you understand the specific rules of this game and the terrain of the manor, it is definitely not suitable to act rashly, so wait and see what happens.

The rooms of the four people are next to each other, numbered from 6 to 9, namely Ye Lingchuan, Wen Zhuo, Jiang Zhou and Tang Chunen.

"When the banquet starts, I will come to inform all the guests, please remember to change into the dresses for the banquet."

It's really fastidious, and I have to change into a dress.

They only had time to express this sentence in their hearts. The next second, the housekeeper turned and left, and they found that the door was locked.

This means that before the banquet starts, they can only stay in the room obediently, and they will not see each other.

What kind of hospitality is this?
In desperation, Wen Zhuo could only check around the room first, so as to know what he knew.

The bedding and pillowcases on the big bed in the room are all embroidered with big dark red roses, the contrast between black and red is sharp, at first glance it looks like graffiti splashed with blood, and it has a chilling and strange beauty.

The closet in the room is full of various dresses. In addition, there are some exquisite cosmetic utensils and accessories for matching on the dressing table.

There were several neat rows of hardcover books in the bookcase. Just as she walked over to get a better look, she suddenly heard a slight knocking sound from outside the window.

Tuk tuk, tuk tuk.

She walked to the window in doubt, and opened the curtain that was also embroidered with roses——

Under the boundless moonlight, Ye Lingchuan was holding on to the window frame with one hand, and was squatting on the edge of the window sill outside, looking at her.

Looking at each other, he saw that she didn't respond, so he asked helplessly.

"Why, won't you invite me in to sit for a while?"
