Chapter 44: (Match the leak!)

Next, Ruan Bai discussed how to meet with Xue Se. Xue Se said what kind of earrings she would wear, and Ruan Bai told her about the small red mole on the middle of her wrist.
As for the remuneration, Ruan Bai did not ask for it, but said that he would consider it later.
In fact, she is no longer short of money. In addition, she is not a materialistic person, so she has no plans to ask for money.
She just thinks that Xue Se’s family is pretty good when she sees it. She might have a better background than Shen Qingyun. In order to catch DSAS, she has some information that is difficult for her to get. If she goes to Xue Se, ask her to arrange for someone to help. It should be a lot easier.
Of course, for deeper information, Ruan Bai only intends to find a way for his safety, and will not let Xue Se continue to make shots.
Xue Se was not surprised by this, and quickly agreed.
When Xue Se was about to enter the game, Ruan Bai used the forum to successfully establish diplomatic relations between the two systems.
Finally, she lay down on her bed, feeling the familiar feeling of dizziness flying towards her.
After the world turned around, Ruan Bai's feet fell to the ground, and she slowly opened her eyes, only to see a familiar white mist filled her surroundings, and her feet were wet stone tiles.
In the distance is a bush with teeth and claws, the branches and leaves are silently still in the white mist, like a black silhouette, distorted in a strange posture.
Unlike the previous game, in this game, the usual players gather first, and everyone walks toward the game field together.
After Ruan Bai came over, he found that there were eight/nine men and women who were obviously players.
Ruan Bai counted carefully. There were a total of two girls and seven boys around her. Among them, two men and one woman were obviously panicked and kept walking around and shouting.
"Where is this? Who are you?" When she came over, one of the girls yelled, "Let me go home, let me go back!"
She looked like she was in her early twenties, very young and beautiful, and her clothes were all trendy brands. Necklaces and bracelets looked expensive. She was probably spoiled and raised since she was a child, and she couldn't accept this sudden change.
Ruan Bai thought she would be snow-colored at first, but after thinking about it, snow-colored shouldn't be so stupid, and the earrings on the girl's ears were sparkling, not the simple and simple pearls in Xue-colored mouth.
"This is the game world, don't run around, it's easy to get into trouble."
Maybe it was annoying by her, but there was a slightly older male player next to him who frowned, as if he wanted to explain it to them.
But the three newcomers obviously didn't listen, and this beautiful girl even deliberately stayed away from the male player, her eyes were both vigilant and contemptuous, as if she suspected that they were the ones to harm her.
Ruan Bai simply looked around for a while, then looked away.
Considering the need to bring a rich woman, in order to convince Xue Se, she didn't pretend to enter the game for the first time this time, but shrank her body, revealing a timid look.
Isn't this girl, not even another ordinary dull woman in her twenties, isn't that snowy color yet?
Ruan Bai was taking a few steps back. When she thought of this, she felt someone patted her on the back.
At the same time, a young girl's slightly sweet voice came: "You are in charge of 3?"
Because Ruan Bai relied on being an administrator in the player forum 03, she often deleted some posts that cited wars, and sometimes she would tear up the raccoon in person, which led to her reputation among the players and was dubbed by others. Tube 3.
It must be Xue Se who can call her that.
"Yes, I am."
Ruan Bai turned back when he heard the words.
She opened her mouth, ready to say something, but saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in a normal middle school uniform standing behind her with a schoolbag on her back.
The girl has a well-behaved hairstyle, short hair with bangs, and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. Her skin is white, her mouth and nose are small, and her light brown eyes are round, and she looks very elegant.
This, this is actually the intellectual and indifferent rich woman Xue Lian! ?
Ruan Bai was immediately surprised, nodded quickly, and replied in a low voice: "Wait, you are Xue Se?"
"That's right." Xue Se nodded gently.
Her ears are indeed wearing very elegant little pearl studs, exactly as Xue Se said in the text message.
Will the game choose such a small girl...
Ruan Bai confirmed the identity of the other party in his heart, but still felt a little dazed.
After she went through these games, she found that the selection area of ​​the game was limited. Most of the players were from 18 to 30 years old. This is almost the period when people have the highest physical intelligence.
After all, in an escape game, physical fitness is still very important.
Ruan Bai has seen the youngest, the 16 or 17-year-old high school student Wang Wenwen in Mermaid Village. Although she is young, she has very good acting skills. As for the 40-year-old Uncle Shen, she must have performed well in the game before. .
Therefore, since Xue Se was able to enter the game at the age of twelve, it should also have its strengths.
It's just that her age is really too young...and it's no wonder that she wants to find someone online.
Ruan Bai thought for a while, and said to her like this: "My customs clearance style in the game may be a little different from ordinary people, but I promise I will try my best to lead you through the game."
"It's okay, I don't mind," Xue Se said calmly, "you don't need to worry about my side too much. When it's not dangerous, I will take care of everything."
She raised her eyes and looked at Ruan Bai: "You don't have to worry about remuneration, my family has money."
When the girl talked, the feeling in the conversation overlapped with the familiar "snowy" image of Ruan Bai on the Internet.
Seeing that Fuloli was so talkative, Ruan Bai was relieved, nodded, and quietly explained some simple rules of the game, such as the concept of safety period, to Xue Se.
This is also one of the requirements that Xue Se mentioned. I hope Ruan Bai can share part of her game experience with her. Of course, this is also paid.
While the two of them were talking, the remaining players finally arrived one after another.
Ruan Bai counted it privately and found that the total number of players was 14 people, four females, ten males, and three newcomers.
Players formed a team in twos and threes to form the original team.
Even the arrogant and arrogant eldest lady found two teammates and made do with them.
After everyone arrived, the fog that had been surrounding him finally dispersed.
A gray-black stone road leading to the old castle in the distance appeared in front of everyone, as if it had just rained, and the floor was wet and smooth.
After the players looked at each other, they set foot on this road.
They walked along the road until they came to the gate of the old castle. A woman in her fifties, wearing a black robe that was obviously in the style of the last century, was expressionless, standing in front of the gate waiting for them.
At the moment when he came to the black robe woman, in front of Ruan Bai, the same big red characters popped up again
[Destination "Abandoned Castle" has arrived]
[Game goal: survive for 3 days and find out the secret of the castle] [Current progress of the game: 0]
[Countdown to the game: 71 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds] [Number of participating players: 14]
[All players are in place, the A-level difficulty game "Abandoned Castle" now starts! 】A level difficulty world...
Ruan Bai looked in his eyes and was a little wary.
For some reason, it seems that since she entered the game, except for the first Mermaid Village game, the difficulty of the next few games has remained high.
It stands to reason that the simpler the game, the greater the probability of being entered by the player. In the five games, it is possible to have a Grade A difficulty. How can it be her turn that the difficulty has not lasted?
This confusion flashed through Ruan Bai's heart, leaving a superficial trace, and then disappeared.
The important thing now is to follow the game NPC to get information in the castle.
Seeing the crowd arrived, the numb-looking woman nodded slightly and said, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
She turned around, stretched out her dry hand and pushed open the iron door.
With the harsh sound of the iron door being opened, the woman led the players in: "In the next time, I hope you can take good care of the young masters..."
While talking, she led the players into the castle.
This castle is very large, about the third floor, the first floor is the living room and dining room, there are also the flower room and children's toy room, the second floor is the guest room and study room, players will probably rest in these rooms at night.
It’s just this way, I don’t know if it’s Ruan Bai’s illusion. It gives people a rather gloomy and depressive feeling. There are no electric lights, but dark yellow candlelights are illuminated. The carpet patterns are vague and dark. Many look. The missing corners are covered with dust.
There are many children's toys scattered here, such as dolls and cars, jigsaw toys and picture albums full of crayons.
Through the words of the black-robed woman, Ruan Bai can vaguely guess that the identities of these players this time seem to be servants or tutors. The main purpose is to enter the castle and take care of their children for the lady master.
The third floor is where the master and madam rest. Players are not allowed to enter the third floor unless it is an emergency.
"Master and Madam are both well-known good people in the town," the black-robed woman said quietly, "They don't have children of their own, but they have adopted a dozen orphans, and they were raised like their own children..."
There are so many toys here, Ruan Bai thought to himself, but since she walked in, she didn't see the slightest shadow of a child.
The entire castle was empty, and besides them, there was no other living thing at all.
After that, the black-robed woman stopped talking about anything related to the owner of the castle, and continued to introduce it here.
"The ingredients will be delivered every day at 11 noon and 5 pm, and they will be placed in the second cabinet on the right side of the kitchen," she said solemnly, "the water in the bathroom will stop before 7 pm, and the toilet is only available in the corner of the corridor."
"Then what are we going to do here?" Some players couldn't help being curious and asked.
But when faced with this problem, the woman in black did not say directly.
She just showed the look of an enemy, and said vaguely "I hope you don't do anything too extraordinary."
Perceiving the flickering of the woman in black, many players' hearts sank.
After all the things to be explained were finished, the woman in black couldn't wait to pack up and leave.
Before leaving, the black-robed woman stood at the door, looking at the crowd, with a cold tone: "Everything here, you can move, but I hope you remember, please don't open the door after 8pm."
After that, she pushed the door and walked out, as if being urged by someone, and left without looking back.
After the black-robed woman left, the other players looked at each other and were at a loss.
This time, even Ruan Bai felt a sense of inability to start.
There is no reason, the information that the NPC black-robed woman told them is really too little.
It's a little bit useful, that is, you can't go out at 8 o'clock in the evening, and other useful information is minimal.
"What a broken place is this, I really can't stay any longer!"
After the new lady waited for the weird black-robed old man to leave, she couldn't hide her temper anymore, and slammed her bag on the ground violently: "It's tattered and weird. I'm going to starve to death!"
She may be used to the days when the stars are holding the moon, and when they lose their temper, there will be people coaxing them. Seeing other players, there is no response. Some people even turn around to go upstairs, her face is getting ugly.
Some players even laughed out, looking at the appearance of Missy, just like watching a monkey.
"You...hey, whoever is you!"
At this moment, Ruan Bai, who was thinking aside, was suddenly pointed at his nose.
She looked up in astonishment, and saw that the lady's face was slightly angry, and she yelled at her, "What are you doing stupidly standing here? Why don't you go to the kitchen to cook?!"
The eldest lady was obviously bullying and afraid of hardship. After embarrassing, she found Ruan Bai, a woman with a soft bun-like face, so she sprayed it without hesitation: "Are you stupid? Didn't you see that we are all hungry!"
Ruan Bai: "..."
She hasn't seen such a person in the game for a long time.
Ruan Bai thought for a while, but did not refute.
She pretended to be frightened and trembled all over, tears almost falling.
"I, I'm going now..." She looked at the eldest lady, hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to refuse, but nodded aggrievedly, "I'm going to the kitchen, wait for me..."
Seeing this, Xue Se was taken aback for a moment, but she saw Ruan Bai waved her hand quietly.
And the eldest lady finally found the air bag to vent, freed herself from generality, and returned to her usual arrogance.
She snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Don't hurry, why are you drowsy."
Ruan Bai obediently went to the kitchen after hearing the words.
Before entering this game, she thought about finding opportunities to get in touch with ghosts and monsters.
She had hesitated before, and she didn't know what excuses would be more appropriate, especially since she also brought people, but now, the eldest lady is a good "cooperation" partner.
Moreover, when the black-clothed woman was just speaking, Ruan Bai noticed that the details were wrong.
In other games, the food is prepared directly for the players to eat, but the woman in black only mentioned the ingredients, not the food.
In other words...does the player need to make food?
Does this mean that there is a problem in the kitchen?
Thinking like this, she fumbled to the cafeteria.
Opening the second cabinet on the right, she found that as the woman in black said, it was filled with all kinds of fresh ingredients, from meat to fresh vegetables and fruits.
As for the cooked meals, they really haven't.
It seems that they really want to let them cook by themselves.
Ruan Bai still knows how to cook. Upon seeing this, she quickly took out some of the ingredients and put them on the cutting board.
Then, she found that there were no knives here.
In order to find the knives, Ruan Bai opened the cabinet next to the ingredients and found that there was a kitchen knife in it, which was inserted on a raised cloth.
Without even thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and pulled out the kitchen knife.
With this pull, she noticed something was wrong.
This feeling... seems to be squeezed from the flesh.
And it was so cold, this kind of coolness spread along the hilt of the knife to her palm, making her almost unable to hold the knife.
-There is a ghost.
This strange sense of vigilance immediately attacked her, making her scalp numb instantly!
Ruan Bai quickly raised his head and saw a little boy about six or seven years old suddenly appeared in the cabinet!
He was like a piece of paper, with his limbs folded and stuffed into this narrow cabinet.
Its skin was pale, with corpse spots already appearing on it, and its eyes were a deep black with no whites, staring at Ruan Bai firmly.
Seeing Ruan Bai spotted it, the corners of its mouth raised, revealing an extremely exaggerated, creepy smile: "Sister, the blood can't stop it."
Large strands of black blood poured out along its wound, soaked its clothes quickly, dripping slowly through the wooden cabinet, like tentacles, toward Ruan Bai.
The strong smell of blood spread, and the whole kitchen was stained with a dim and unknown red.
Ruan Bai held the knife and looked at it.
In the next second, Ruan Bai realized something: "Oh, sorry, my sister will help you block it."
It's too late to say, it's fast then, the kind-hearted Ruan Bai quickly inserted the knife back in without hesitation!
