The information sharing from Aoki Kousuke had allowed Han Dong to record all the information related to the old house in his mind, including the other five secret rooms where the treasure chests were stored.
The safest solution at present was: [Return to the street, head to different villa areas to obtain clues, kill the corresponding resentment aggregations, obtain six keys, and open all the mysterious treasure chests.]
Even if the mysterious treasure chests didn't open the Box of Resentment, they would still be able to obtain important or valuable items.
There should also be important clues or game items of higher value. He would definitely not lose out.
Since the two teams had reached a temporary cooperation, the mission's burden was reduced by half.
However, Han Dong had other ideas.
"Nicholas, what do you think?
Since we're working together, we can return to the street. Based on the experience we've already gained, it won't be difficult for each team to obtain an additional two keys.
During the 'pre-entry' phase, I've carefully observed the other participants. Apart from you, they should all be local killers. They aren't much of a threat, unless there's an extremely stealthy existence that I can't detect.
Of course, there's a high probability that there's no such thing.
If other teams break into this place while we're returning to the street to obtain the keys, we'll work together to create an opportunity for 'legitimate defense.' We'll deal with them carefully. "
Han Dong didn't deny Kousuke's words. "It's indeed a very safe plan … However, can you give me half an hour before we act?
After all, I haven't gone upstairs to take a look. Just listening to Kousuke's description isn't intuitive enough.
Before we act, I want to figure out the structure of this building myself. "
Kousuke tried his best to be tactful.
"Half an hour is a little long. In this completely random mode, we can't estimate when the highest difficulty will suddenly descend. It's best if we can leave this old house before the sound of leather shoes comes.
Nicholas, can you hurry up a little? "
"Okay, I'll speed up appropriately."
After saying that, Han Dong quickly pulled Sally upstairs and prepared to conduct a detailed search from top to bottom.
Not long after the two left, Kousuke whispered:
"Forbidden Words, follow them quietly … Be careful, they're from S-01. Don't be discovered."
The woman shrouded in the hood, revealing only her chin and sealed mouth, was slightly puzzled. She conveyed her thoughts through a special mental communication.
Didn't the upstairs check in detail? Apart from a few secret chambers, there was nothing else worth paying attention to … Was it necessary to follow them? Also, I have spies in the various areas. If they want to secretly set up any traps, I will be able to find out at any time.]
"It's necessary. Since they were able to see through the shrine in the body in such a short period of time, they should be able to see through it.
His level of observation must be extraordinary, and he might be able to discover the details that we missed … I myself find it very strange. The six treasure chests hidden in the secret room are too direct. Perhaps there really are details that we missed. "
Jin Yu nodded.
She slightly tore open the talisman that was stuck to her mouth, and her cold lips softly muttered something.
Immediately, all sounds related to her were blocked.
When she stepped on the dilapidated stairs, she didn't make any sound even though she saw the wooden planks of the stairs being compressed and bent … She followed him in absolute silence.
Shinie wasn't worried at all as he stared at Seiji's serious expression.
He turned to look at Dong Ye, who had just been ransomed, with an apologetic look on his face.
"Dong Ye, are those two guys strong?"
"En, en! They're really strong … That woman's [Leg] is not only terrifyingly strong, but it also has some sort of crushing effect. The moment it kicked my head, my brain was crushed.
Fortunately, I took back my main body that was scattered in my brain in advance. Otherwise, I would have been crushed as well.
As for the young man that you took a fancy to, he's somewhat similar to the 'zombie' we met in the game, but he's terrifyingly mutated.
He's able to grow eyes all over his body, and he's also very fast. He's been able to dodge my main body's attacks many times.
Also, he's able to turn objects into sand with just one hand, and the chainsaw on his back is also very destructive. "
"Then, who do you think is stronger, me or them?"
"Based on the situation just now, of course you're stronger, Boss … But I reckon that they haven't shown their true strength yet.
The main thing is that Boss strictly told me that without your personal permission, I'm not allowed to 'release' myself.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have been suppressed so easily by them. "
"You're so obedient ~ Not bad!"
Shinie reached out a hand that was as delicate as a woman's and lightly patted Dong Ye's messy hair. Dong Ye swayed his tongue in satisfaction.
…
While going upstairs, Shali slowly transformed her long legs into sheep's hooves. Every step she took left behind some sentient living wool on the floor.
"Nicholas, have you figured out anything from the information they gave you?"
"It's not to the extent of directly related information. It's just that according to Shinie's description, they're more interested in the 'study' on the third floor of the mansion.
They definitely came to the mansion during the second round of the [Highest Difficulty], and they searched for no more than two hours … If they wanted to search the entire area, they definitely wouldn't have had the time to look through the written information in the study.
Let's hope that there's something similar to a diary or notebook in the study.
If my intuition is wrong and I don't find anything, we'll follow Shinie's plan and go back to look for the key. "
"Okay …"
Han Dong's intuition and interest were part of the reason why he wanted to go to the study.
According to Shinie's description, there was only one study in a corner room on the third floor of such a large mansion … Han Dong didn't doubt Shinie's ability to search for clues.
It was just that if he considered everything, the only thing that could possibly be missed was the written information in the study that required a large amount of time to read.
* Creak! *
The wooden door was pushed open … and Seiji's right arm immediately sensed his blood.
A fountain pen that seemed to have a life of its own was currently writing something on the desk next to the window. The ink used had been replaced by fresh blood.
Han Dong cautiously walked up to take a closer look, but he discovered that the fountain pen was scribbling randomly. There were even some random letters that had nothing to do with the actual words.
As for the fountain pen itself, it wasn't dangerous.
Additionally, the entire study had been turned upside down, and all the books that had been neatly arranged were now scattered all over the floor. There was even a hole in the bookcase … and all the drawers in the desk had been opened.
"Seriously, these guys are messing around! Such destruction might cause us to lose key clues.
Shali, come over here and help me clean up the books.
Oh, right … "
Han Dong suddenly poked his head out of the study and looked at the long hallway leading to the third floor.
"Miss Forbidden Words, could I trouble you to help me out? You should still remember the original layout of the study, as well as the order in which the books were arranged. We now need to perfectly restore the scene. "
Forbidden Words slowly walked out from the shadows. She had an astonished expression. She couldn't figure out how she had been exposed. She had clearly been very careful to avoid all the wool along the way.
