Feng Bujue summarized the plot of the novel and then shared his experience of entering the cellar and the hidden mission that he received. Then, the group could see his mission in the quest tab, but that was all they could see. Even if Feng Bujue completed it, he would be the one to receive the reward.
When he was halfway through his explanation, the light on the table dimmed again due to the time limit of the skill. However, Passing Rain and Laughing Soul did not interrupt him and listened intently.
After Feng Bujue explained everything that he knew, he concluded in a concluding tone. "Then … based on my analysis, the plot of this scenario should be like this. This family has inherited Huntington's Disease for generations, and the house itself has some kind of supernatural power that is similar to a curse. Roderick, who has a sister complex, has a split personality, so he buried Madelyne alive even though he knew she was still alive. Then, he was tortured by this incident until his mental state broke down. "On the night that the story ended, his sister used the mysterious power of the house to return to the main house. She scared her brother to death, and then she died from exhaustion.
Madelyne's soul and body should be trapped somewhere inside the house by Roderick, and the house itself is hostile toward us' living creatures'.
"From a gaming perspective …
The main mission is to find the pattern or weakness of this house and then escape. Obviously, we can choose not to do the side quest. It is nothing more than a test of our completion of the map. If we explore more rooms and search more carefully, we'll be able to find all six sections of the Haunted Palace and get the reward. The location of the siblings' souls is just a continuation of the plot. It exists as a hidden mission, so we can choose not to do it. "
After hearing his explanation, Passing Rain was the first to speak. "It's okay, we can cooperate with you."
Feng Bujue had explained the situation. It was not difficult to clear the scenario, they could choose not to do the side quest, and the hidden mission was not that important. He was about to ask Passing Rain and Laughing Soul if they were willing to help him complete the side quest and the hidden quest, but once again, they answered before he could ask.
"Then, thank you," Feng Bujue said.
This time, Passing Rain did not answer him. She really did not like to talk.
Laughing Soul replied politely, "You're welcome. We were going to do the side quest anyway. As for the hidden mission, it's definitely not easy. We'll do our best to help you. "
Feng Bujue immediately stood up and said, "Now let's return to the question that was interrupted before … Why are we here at the same time?"
Xiao Tan immediately said, "Doesn't this house change? As long as it changes a few corridors and connects the spaces, it will naturally lead us here. "
Long Aomin said, "You are talking about 'how' we got here, not 'why'."
Laughing Soul licked her lips and mumbled, "There are only a few things that can trigger something like this … a certain time has come, the item has been obtained, or …"
Feng Bujue continued, "Map exploration is close to the critical point."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Tan asked.
"You've heard of Haunted Mountain House, right?" Feng Bujue asked.
"That board game?"
"Yes, that one. What if we run out of maps on a certain floor?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Then this floor …" Wang Tanzhi seemed to have figured out the problem. "Won't be able to find a new map."
"Based on what we're seeing, it should be because the first floor has already been searched, and if we continue to explore, we'll return to where we were before." Feng Bujue said, "Therefore, we arrived at the same room at the same time. This dining room is like the only piece of the puzzle that hasn't been opened."
"Then … should we go up to the second floor?" Long Aomin asked. He reminded Chen Ge with concern. "Invincible Champion died there for unknown reasons."
"There are three sections of the haunted palace on the first floor, and one section is hidden in the cellar. Therefore, the remaining two sections are definitely on the second floor. If we want to do the side quest, we have to go up there." Feng Bujue replied. "Furthermore, we've explored most of the first floor, but the main quest hasn't changed. Therefore … be it the main quest, side quest, or hidden quest, to complete any of them, we have to go up there."
Laughing Soul added, "As the ending part of the scenario, the difficulty of the second floor … or rather, the power of the curse upstairs is obviously higher than here. The traps on the second floor will be more dangerous, and there will be more illusions and scary elements. That's why Invincible Champion died. "
When Xiao Tan heard that, he turned to Feng Bujue and said, "Brother Bujue, listen to that. Splitting up killed someone."
"Brother Invincible Champion died because he wasn't strong enough." Feng Bujue moved his eyes away and put on an expression that said, "The wind is so loud today."
…
Ten minutes later, the five walked down a few more corridors and found a flight of stairs that led to the second floor.
The wooden ladder gave off a moldy smell. When he stepped on it, it creaked noisily. Xiao Tan was so nervous that he accidentally broke a part of the rotten banister, and he gave himself a fright.
When they reached the second floor, Long Aomin once again took up the role of leading the way. His new title, Team Defender, gave him a passive skill, Team Defender. With every new teammate around him, his Defense would increase by ten percent. Even though the Attack, Defense, and Life Points in Thriller Paradise were not shown, it did not affect the calculation of these buffs. To put it simply, Brother Long's ability to take hits was 40% stronger than when he was alone. Even if he ran into the powerful zombie again, he would not be sent flying with one hit.
Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi followed behind Long Aomin, followed by Laughing Soul, and Passing Rain and Passing Rain.
After walking for a while, Laughing Soul suddenly patted Wang Tanzhi on his shoulder. The latter's face blanched from her action, but thankfully, he did not scream.
"Hey, hey, Brother Xiao Tan."
"Yes?"
"I want to discuss something with you. Let's trade."
Wang Tanzhi asked, "Which one?"
"Ha … What do you have?" Laughing Soul asked with a smile.
As Xiao Tan moved forward, he started to list out the items in his inventory. "Hmm … I have a western kitchen knife, a baseball bat, and a slow one …"
Feng Bujue, who walked in front of him, held his face in his hands and shook his head. He sighed internally. This idiot …
Laughing Soul was tickled by Xiao Tan. She quickly interrupted him and said, "Alright, alright, are you really going to tell me everything?"
Wang Tanzhi was startled. "Huh? Yes, you're the one who wants to trade with me. Why should I tell you everything? "
Even Long Aomin, who was leading the group, rolled his eyes and said softly, "This kid sure is a genius …"
"Don't bully a child," Passing Rain said coldly from behind.
Laughing Soul stuck out her tongue and then told Xiao Tan, "I'm sorry, I was just joking with you. I didn't expect you to really say it out loud."
Wang Tanzhi was still defending Passing Rain's earlier statement. "I'm twenty-four this year!"
Feng Bujue finally could not hold it in anymore. He turned around to glare at Xiao Tan. "Recently, I've noticed that your EQ has been increasing."
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was confused.
Laughing Soul pulled on his sleeve again. "Alright, I'm serious." She handed him the miner's hat and said, "I want to trade this for your flashlight."
Xiao Tan looked at the description. It was a piece of equipment and had the effect of a light source.
Item Name: Miner's Hat
Item Type: Armor
Quality: Normal
Defense Points: Medium
Element: None
Special Effect: Has the ability to light up. Consumes battery.
Equip Requirement: General Ability F or Workmanship F
Remark: A safe and reliable piece of armor. The miner's lamp before the hat is very useful.
"What do you think? I see that you're not wearing any armor on your head. Trading this for your flashlight is a fair trade, right? "Laughing Soul said.
Xiao Tan looked at it. "But isn't it obvious that you're losing out?"
"The yellow color doesn't suit me, and it looks silly on a girl." She smiled cunningly. "I think it'll fit you."
"It's fine, I have a head armor," Chen Ge replied. He took out a new flashlight from his backpack. (When they were at the shopping mall, Feng Bujue had suggested that everyone take two flashlights, but Xiao Tan had kept everything in his backpack.) He handed it to Laughing Soul and said, "I have two flashlights. I'll give you one."
Laughing Soul blinked her large eyes and stared at Xiao Tan's face for three to five seconds. "Hey! If you don't tell me, you'll get a piece of equipment for free! "
"It looks silly on your head. Keep it for yourself," Xiao Tan replied with a smile.
Hearing that, Laughing Soul suddenly understood the meaning of the saying, 'A natural airhead is always black when cut open.'
She accepted the flashlight and placed the miner's hat back into her backpack. With complicated emotions, she said, "Thank you." There was no joy on her face.
"Serves you right." Passing Rain added a stab at the right time.
"That's not right …" Long Aomin suddenly stopped. He noticed the anomaly. "Didn't we just pass by this place?"
"After we came up, we were in a corridor that was similar to this one." Feng Bujue continued. "After that, we turned left once and right twice. The straight line after each turn was different, but it was clear that we were not going in circles …"
"Are we hallucinating, or …" Long Aomin paused. He wanted to hear Feng Bujue's opinion.
"It should be a hallucination," Passing Rain and Ruo Li chimed in from the back of the group. At that moment, she was standing before a long mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror. She looked normal from head to toe. Her clothes and equipment had not changed. Only her intestines poked out from her abdomen.
In the next second, the two sides of the corridor were filled with mirrors. The change was sudden, and there was no sign of spatial distortion.
Feng Bujue also turned around and picked the closest mirror to him. He looked at it and said, "Not bad, this is clearer than an MRI." He took several steps closer to take a closer look. "Oh, I can see the details of the corridor from the intestines. This is very interesting …"
