Chapter 44 The Strange Old Man
Chapter 44 The Strange Old Man
While everyone was hesitating, they listened to the sound of the cane tapping the ground gradually away, and then looked at the blood stains of stumps in the room, and quickly made a decision.
Hearing the movement behind him, Wu Shuang looked back.
It turned out that those players had also come out, and they all followed him on tiptoe. When he looked over, Kuangren, who was walking at the front, gave an ugly smile, probably to show that he was fine, but why Look, they don’t look like they’re okay.
However, there is no need to worry about anything.
If you want to follow, just follow.
Wu Shuang didn't care. After dying several times on the fifth floor, he no longer planned to clear the level with one life. Even if he encountered any danger, he would try again.
When I got to the seventh floor, nothing happened.
But when they were about to go up, the door on the left suddenly opened.
The players were so frightened that they were like kittens whose tails were stepped on. Their fur flew up and they were about to run down. If it weren't for the fact that he was motionless, they would have dispersed in a rush. Even after two experiences, Kuangren, who was on the second mission, also asked tremblingly: "What should we do now?"
"Look at it."
Wu Shuang's calm answer made Kuangren stunned for a while, and the barrage also complained.
[Is this a cold joke from the boss? 】
[Why can the boss be so calm? When I heard the door opening, my reaction was similar to that of the newcomers. I wanted to turn around and run away. The boss didn't move, just turned around and looked back. It's outrageous! 】
The reason why Wu Shuang was able to remain calm was also very simple.
Not being afraid of death is one of them, and the other is that after the door opened, what rushed out was not a monster, but a trembling old man with a stooped figure, white beard and hair, wearing a gray coat, and holding a hand in his hand. He was wearing a cane and a pair of black trousers with several patches on his lower body. After opening the door, he just stood at the door.
After seeing them, the old man's wrinkled face put on a kind smile, and said with a little sigh: "I haven't seen anyone come up for a long time."
There was probably a precedent for him appearing in this building. After seeing the old man, the originally panicked players calmed down a lot, and some asked cautiously: "Are you... a living person?"
It was exactly the same question as the one asked him just now, and the old man's answer was also expected.
"Of course, I am talking and laughing, so why am I not a living person?" the old man said with a smile, which made several new players relax a lot.
But Kuangren didn't think so.
He thought it was outrageous enough to meet a big boss here, but now an old man actually appeared?
Moreover, he used the system to check and found that the other party was not only a player, but also not a transcendent. He was just an ordinary old man, who might be a little weak.
What kind of joke is this?
When did this world become a place where anyone can come?This is still an unknown area, and there is a Horror downstairs. How did this old man get up here?
Thinking with his toes, he felt that there was something wrong with this old man, and there were various reminders in the barrage.
But when he looked at the boss, he found that he didn't seem nervous, and even looked like he was watching the show leisurely.
Wu Shuang was indeed watching a show.
Although he didn't know what the thing in front of him was, he was sure that the other person was definitely not an old man.
After all, a gray-haired old man doesn't have the ability to lean down from the balcony to see downstairs, and he can also pull away at a speed that he can't see clearly. He is definitely some kind of monster.
As for the situation at hand, it may be that it is pretending.
Looking at it this way, it shouldn't have the ability to conflict with them head-on. It can only use deception to make them relax their vigilance and make a sneak attack.
But if that's the case, this deception method is too crude.
Anyone with a little experience might be able to tell, so Wu Shuang was more inclined to think that this thing was trying to contact them to achieve a certain purpose.
So, when the old man wanted to say something to the new players, he interrupted the communication between the two parties.
"Old man, you don't want to invite us in to have a rest, do you? If that's the case, it's unnecessary. We are still in a hurry to leave."
After hearing his words, the new players were a little confused.
The old man's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had seen something good. He tried hard to control his excitement and said, "You want to get out, right? I know how to get out."
Wu Shuang noticed that the old man glanced at his cane very vaguely, as if he was worried about something.
In order to verify this, he simply put the cane in front of him, holding it with both hands, as if he could do it at any time. When the old man noticed this, he immediately wanted to react, but he tried to restrain himself.
Sure enough, there was a problem.The other players didn't even notice his actions, or didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions at all, but this old man's reaction was a bit big.
He looked at the other party quite amusedly.
He probably noticed his eyes and knew that he had already guessed a lot. The old man also relaxed a lot, looked at him and said calmly: "You took care of the guy on the fifth floor, right? You showed up on the sixth floor. When I was there, I knew that you would go up, but you couldn’t get out from downstairs.”
"It seems that you know something, old man. Can you tell me something?" Wu Shuang smiled gently, as if he was really asking an old man for directions.
Kuangren who was watching on the side was very anxious.
what happened? !The boss doesn’t really believe it, does he?This seems to be a problem!
But he didn't dare to interrupt the boss, so he could only worry on the sidelines. In the live broadcast room, the various speculations on the barrage also made him hesitate.
[The boss is confused!This looks strange!Do it!I'm so anxious. 】
[No, the boss looks like he is negotiating terms with it. 】
[Negotiating conditions?Why do I think the boss is being cheated? 】
[You’ve been deceived, can’t you see?His posture made it clear that he was ready to take action at any time. He obviously saw it and didn't say it out loud. He was worried that the newcomer would cause trouble. 】
These barrages made Kuangren couldn't help but look at the boss.
Unfortunately, I didn't see anything.
But I heard that the chat between the boss and the old man was coming to an end.
"After the previous owner of this building left, he sealed the building. People trapped here can't get out no matter how hard they try. Basically, even if they open the door, they will find out again. He returned to the building by himself."
The old man said very depressedly, but then he suppressed his excitement and spoke again.
"However, there is a way to lift this seal, and that is to become the new owner of this building."
"How to do?"
Compared to the nagging old man, Wu Shuang's questions were much more concise.
This made the old man a little helpless.
"Go to the thirteenth floor. The owner of this building used to live there. When he left, he also put a token of becoming the owner of the building there, because once he became the owner of this building, he could not leave. He also tried his best to give up on this building before he got the chance to leave."
"Are you saying that if we want to go out, one of us must become the owner of this building and stay here forever?"
Wu Shuang followed these words and asked.
He had actually guessed what the old man wanted to say next, but he was still curious as to why the other party proposed this condition.
"Yes, but you can give me that token and let me become the owner of this building. In this way, you don't need to give up anyone."
The old man's answer was as expected.
However, he didn't ask why. Anyway, it would be useless if he asked now, because the other party would definitely find ways to let them get the token, let alone deceive him on some details.
Therefore, it is useless to ask why, but you can ask how to get there.
At least now, the other party must hope that they can reach the thirteenth floor safely, get their things and come back.
"Okay, but how should we get there?"
Hearing his straightforward answer, the old man couldn't hold back his excitement and said overjoyed: "The elevator stops after it reaches the twelfth floor, and then it's just a flight of stairs away. The residents on other floors are not active right now. , as long as you don’t irritate them, they’ll be fine.”
"Row."
Wu Shuang glanced at the elevator pointed by the old man and walked over happily. By the way, he also called the players who were still confused and said to the old man who walked to the elevator door and planned to watch them leave: "I hope you will comply." promise."
"must!"
As the elevator door closed, the old man's smile became brighter.
