Infinite weird games

The large water marks on the stone wall inside the castle seeped like ulcers, and the dead vines seemed to have grown a little more, adding deeper cracks to the weathered and loose walls.

Qiss went down the stairs to the first floor and saw no shadow of Miss Anna or the housekeeper.

Most of the time, these two NPCs disappear into the castle out of thin air, never showing up unless necessary. Perhaps they are kind-hearted enough to leave players with ample space for free exploration, or they are well aware of the principle that "fear comes from the unknown" and hide in the castle. Secretly bluffing.

Qisi pushed open the door of the castle and saw a vast sea of ​​roses.

The gray-purple cloudy sky coats the red roses with a layer of leaden darkness, and there is a large amount of shadow under the overlapping branches and leaves, giving people an intuition of what secrets and horrors are buried and hidden.

Qisi walked along the path and looked up to see Zou Yan standing among the flowers not far away, looking towards him.

After their eyes met, Zou Yan nodded in greeting, then lowered her head and bent over, reaching out to fiddle with the roses in front of her.

There are four words of warning "Beware of Roses" engraved on the system interface. People with average psychological quality would never dare to touch the roses in the garden at this time.

Qiss walked over and pushed aside a rose bush, clearing a small area for himself where he could stand.

He stood still in the wet chill and turned to face the direction of the castle.

The tall buildings stood slumped, cast a gray and eerie color by the natural light that could not find its source. The criss-crossing ancient vines climbing up the outer wall have long since become part of the castle in the dust of the years.

The position where he stood was exactly where Miss Anna stood last night. What he looked at was the window of the guest room on the second floor. Through the weathered glass, he could only see the gloomy dome as deep as a tomb.

What on earth was Miss Anna watching last night?

Qisi took a few steps back and took in the entire castle.

The exterior walls of this building are faded in many places and covered with countless tiny fungus and mildew spots. The huge stones are cracked and withered vines growing in the cracks. For a moment, he felt like this castle was like a person, a person bound by chains.

Zou Yan next to her suddenly said: "Qisi, what do you think of Miss Anna?"

Qisi turned his head and looked directly into the woman's eyes and asked, "What do you think?"

Zou Yan smiled: "Let's talk casually, it's just small talk."

Two scenes flashed through Qisi's mind at the right time, one was a woman chewing flesh and blood on the dining table, and the other was a sad and resentful shadow standing in a sea of ​​roses at night...

After staying in the mind for two seconds, the human figure is automatically dismantled into skin, flesh and bones, and various plans are arranged and combined, including how to dissect, how to make specimens, what techniques to use, and what kind of specimens to make...

The smile on the corner of Qisi's lips was filled with a hint of tenderness: "Judging from the common human characteristics, she has a good appetite and may have a little insomnia."

"..."

Seeing Zou Yan's strange expression, he lowered his eyelids slightly and added a more normal answer: "Of course, she is indeed very beautiful. If she is not a ghost, she is indeed the type that many people will be moved by when they see her."

Zou Yan caught the conversation and asked, "What about you? If she were a living person, would you be attracted to her?"

If she were a dead body, I might be somewhat interested in putting her in the collection.

The smile on Qis's face was very sincere: "To me, after death, any living thing is just a skeleton without skin and flesh."

"What if her hands are stained with blood?" Zou Yan stared at Qisi silently, her brown eyes dizzy like water-soaked paint, as if she wanted to suck his soul into the vortex, "Having the same sin, you can Understand your interests, hobbies and past. Even a beast that is used to walking alone will feel lonely in the endless night..."

This time, Ziss did not answer, but asked: "What do you think of Miss Anna? It seems to me that you care about her very much."

Zou Yan was stunned for two seconds, and then said thoughtfully: "She is probably a pitiful person. I don't know how much more. After all, I haven't said a word to her."

"Yeah, I only said three words to her." After Qisi said that, he turned around and walked into the depths of the sea of ​​flowers.

This was a test. Zou Yan hoped to get more clues without revealing the information she already knew, and even used some psychological methods.

But she failed.

Since childhood, Ziss had received no less than two hundred psychological counseling sessions, and he knew the words of psychiatrists by heart; in the end, he even gained a lot of accomplishments, and cured the mental illnesses of six doctors in succession.

Now, he has long passed the age where he can be induced, suggested and hypnotized, and he is awake even in his sleep...

"But, is this considered the stage of talking to each other?" Qisi touched his chin with interest, and his eyes fell on Chang Xu on the other side of the garden.

…

The garden of the Rose Manor is wide and empty, but fortunately, only roses are planted. The tallest rose plant only reaches a person's waist, so it does not provide much shelter. Looking around, you can see several people in the garden. All the movements are visible.

Chang Xu took a shovel and dug under the withered vines at the base of the castle wall. It seemed that he had found some incredible clues.

Ye Zi bent over and rummaged among the rose bushes, aimlessly and distractedly, as if he came to wander in the garden simply because he didn't want to stay in the castle.

Qisi walked along the path with rare petals and walked away from the old castle. He saw a rusty iron gate in the distance, standing heavily at the end of the road.

There is a large, clumsy iron lock hanging on the door, which is rusted to death. It must be impossible to open it with the player's strength.

Zisi noticed that there was a small bare space on one side of the iron gate. There were no trees or roses on it. Instead, there was a rectangular stone platform embedded with a few lines of text in English.

He remembered that the housekeeper said that he lived underground, but the castle did not have a basement...

The clue was clear. Qisi squatted down in front of the stone platform, bent his index finger and tapped on the ground twice.

There was a sound of wind behind him, accompanied by a suspicious rustling sound.

Qisi stood up and turned around, only to see the butler in black uniform standing behind him at some point.

There was an exaggerated smile on that plastic face: "Mr. Guest, you can't leave the manor yet, otherwise Miss Anna will be angry."

Zeiss looked into the housekeeper's eyes and said in a sincere tone: "I don't want to leave. I just came here to ask, where is Miss Anna?"

The housekeeper said: "The lady is naturally where she wants to be."

"Is that so? What a pity." Zis lowered his eyes and sighed, "I think Miss Anna always avoids us. Except during meals, we don't know where to go if we want to see her. Could it be that...she hates us? These guests?"

He lowered his voice very softly and slowly, as if he felt sorry for Miss Anna's attitude, but a hint of threat was looming in the question.

Panic flashed in the butler's eyes, and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, she doesn't hate you. Miss Anna likes guests."

——The third rule, [Miss Anna likes guests and has no ill intentions towards them].

Sure enough, the rules will not only restrict the players, but also the NPCs in the dungeon. In fact, fairness is elusive, but on the surface it is not difficult to achieve.

Part of the guess was confirmed. Qisi raised the corners of his lips and asked with a smile: "Then I want to meet her in the garden now, is that okay?"

Seeing the embarrassment on the butler's face, he added softly: "It won't delay her for too long."

Having said this, the housekeeper reluctantly bowed to Qiss: "I will go and invite Miss Anna."
