Chapter 176 Alice's Hell (9) Must One Person Die?
Chapter 176 Alice's Hell (9) - One person must die?
What rolled over?
Or was a dining cart pushed over by someone?
Everyone sitting at the long table couldn't help but wonder, and at the same time they were made uneasy by the sudden sound.
The sudden loss of vision made them all feel uneasy.
However, before they could brew up more uncontrollable emotions, the candlesticks on the long table lit up one by one. The light of the four candlesticks enveloped the perimeter of the long table, reflecting the light and dark of the smiling masks. Everyone was startled when they looked at each other. Yu Xing even saw Huang Bai, who was right in front of him, trembled all over.
In front of them, dishes covered by semicircular silver covers appeared out of thin air. Not only that, there were also red wine, drinks, sweet soup and other drinks on the table.
The aroma of the dishes came out from under the cover, making Yu Xing's nose move, giving rise to a hint of anticipation for dinner.
However, other people's focus was different from Yu Xing's. At least they could see. After a brief shock, everyone ignored the food plate that suddenly appeared and looked at the first seat.
Unlike the empty chair just now, there was now a thin figure there.
The candle flickered for a moment.
Suddenly, a pair of overly large blood-red eyes and red lips collided with their eyes. The pale face like a dead body put on an expressionless zombie face. In the reflection of the candlelight, the lethality increased exponentially!
"Ah!" Huang Bai seemed to be more afraid of jump scare type of shock. She was about to scream if she didn't pay attention. Huai, who was beside her, quickly gave her a chestnut on the back of her head through the mask, causing her voice to get stuck in her throat.
She covered her head and shrank back aggrievedly. Remembering that she shouldn't make a sound to attract the attention of the boss, she pretended to be dead without moving.
The figure chuckled, but there was still no expression on her face. Her scarlet eyes looked around the eight deducers, with a hint of exploration.
Yu Xing then glanced at the figure, and like everyone else, she avoided the moment of eye contact with the figure, and then squinted her eyes to look at it. This extra figure was of normal female body shape, leaning lazily on the back of the seat, playing with her long nails painted with red nail polish.
Her black hair was braided into a complex and exquisite Western bun, with a few bangs on both sides of her cheeks. She was wearing a familiar Lolita dress, which was still mainly red and black, and was inlaid with several luxurious gems reflecting dim light.
"..."
The more Yu Xing looked at it, the more she felt that compared with her outfit, a small ruby that accidentally fell was not worth getting angry about. It was unexpectedly petty.
Yes, this is Alice!
But... it is Alice 2.0 with a revised aesthetic style.
This time, Alice didn't have any sense of mechanicalness. Her gestures were smooth and natural, just like a living person, but the pressure didn't decrease at all. Instead, it added a bit of unspeakable weirdness.
"Hello, I'm Alice. Welcome to my castle - my theme park." Alice didn't find the hateful guy she wanted to find as she wished. She felt a little regretful. She sat up slightly and began to make a routine self-introduction.
The people on both sides didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't support her at all.
The butler standing behind Alice's seat applauded at this time: "Welcome."
Do your duty!
After the butler applauded, Zeng Lai and Huai also began to applaud, and then there was a sparse applause on the field.
Alice seemed very satisfied and pressed her hands: "Thank you for the enthusiasm of the tourists. I believe that everyone has come here after a long journey and their stomachs are rumbling. I won't delay your meal time. I'm here... to add a little fun to your experience."
Yu Xing felt that Zeng Lai beside him became serious.
Obviously, what Alice was about to say was the extra part of the rules. If you misunderstand it, you may die in the next few hours.
"Well..." Alice seemed to be thinking temporarily. After a few seconds, she dragged and emphasized, "Then, for the first meal, let's have a simple fun. Before tomorrow's breakfast, each of you must enter more than ten closed rooms alone~"
"Only the first person who entered each room will be counted as successful. After the number of rooms entered by each person reaches the requirement, the eleventh room will not be counted. What you will encounter in the room depends on your luck. I hope you can encounter something and leave some impressive things for this trip."
As soon as the voice fell, a task prompt appeared on Yu Xing's panel.
[Room Progress 0/10]
It shows that the completed part is 0, which means that entering the room should be counted from this moment, otherwise, his bedroom will definitely be counted as one, not to mention the utility room and control room on the second floor.
Alice's tone was quite sincere, as if she really thought that encountering something was a good thing for tourists, and this request didn't sound particularly difficult, so many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, her next sentence announced that they had already breathed a sigh of relief. She admired the eye pattern on her nails in the candlelight: "Warm reminder... Currently, there are a total of seventy rooms in the castle, excluding the areas that require keys to open."
"!"
The deducers wearing smiley masks couldn't laugh at all.
Doesn't this mean that if the status quo is maintained, it is very likely that several people will not be able to get a room together!
Han Zhiyong, who said little after entering the deduction, asked: "What will happen if we don't enter enough rooms?"
"Not enough?" Alice asked back, staring at him with scarlet eyes, "Such inactive tourists will make me very sad, then bring the unqualified person to his monster and watch him die. ”
"..."
Good guy, you can’t even run?
If it is only brought in front of its own ghost, the deducer may be able to barely escape with the reserves of sacrifices and props, but if there is an Alice watching the whole process, it will really be a life-or-death situation!
It turns out that the 40% of the confrontation in this comprehensive deduction is reflected here!
From now on, at least until tomorrow morning, everyone is an opponent.
Alice, who succeeded in making trouble, saw the solemn atmosphere among the tourists, nodded with satisfaction, and stood up: "Then, these are all the rules after this meal. I wish you all a happy meal."
As soon as she turned around, Yu Xing keenly heard the sound of wheels rolling. In just a moment, the candlelight went out like the previous chandelier, and the scene fell into darkness again.
"Gululu..."
The sound of the wheel was loud and gradually faded away. This time, the deducers were not distracted by the unknown and began to guess - was the sound of the rolling wheel made by Alice?
Alice has wheels under her feet, not shoes? Or...she doesn't have any feet at all?
Regarding this point, Yu Xing is naturally the person who knows the best. During the Alice Paradise period, the two-meter-tall mechanical Alice had wheels under her feet. At that time, her whole body was made of metal, and the existence of wheels was not obtrusive. But today, Alice clearly It looks like a human, but it’s still like this?
Yu Xing vaguely thought of something, but made no sound in the darkness.
Ten seconds later, the sound of the rolling wheels could no longer be heard, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling lit up again, this time much brighter, dispersing the ambiguity and depression a lot.
"I can finally eat..." Yu Xing really felt hungry. When everyone else was immersed in a subtle atmosphere, he murmured quietly and looked at the dishes on the table with a satisfied smile.
At that moment, under the gaze of everyone, Yu Xing took off his mask and put it on his lap, then naturally opened the silver mask in front of him.
In front of his eyes, a sweet and sour pork loin that was very suitable for Eastern tastes appeared. The sweet aroma suddenly filled the surrounding air, making everyone swallow their saliva involuntarily.
But...hey...Xing, who claims to be "a newcomer, I dare not say anything", why are you so calm! ?
It is normal to take off the mask. It is impossible for a few people to go without eating. The system points can strengthen the physical fitness, but it does not provide the option of fasting. You will still be hungry when you should be hungry, and you will still die if you are hungry.
They must take off their masks when eating, so sooner or later, their faces will be seen.
The nun also mentioned that this mask can actually be taken off at any time after checking in. Taking it off and putting it on may encounter unique dangers, so in real terms, taking off the mask does not mean anything, but it means less. The baggage on the face is removed, and the breathing becomes easier.
Just to feel safe in their hearts, everyone has been wearing masks until now.
But that's not the point. The point is, now that most of them are competing for room seats, why is this guy named Xingde still ready to eat like he doesn't care?
Isn't he worried? Not in a hurry? Even if a gambler is willing to take him with him, he is not foolproof! Doesn't he have any hostility towards others? This seems very low to those of us who have already begun to think about how to plot against others...
And this appearance... is a little too superior, damn it!
For people in this era, no matter what their profession, complaining has almost become instinctive.
Especially when there is danger, but the danger is not urgent yet, people will complain crazily in their hearts to divert their attention and consume anxiety.
At this moment, Yu Xing became the target of their complaints.
After a few beeps in their hearts, everyone took off their masks one after another. Yu Xing took a bite of the tenderloin, and narrowed his narrow eyes into a slit with satisfaction, not forgetting to look at others through the slit.
There is a saying, although the three chefs in the castle don't look normal, the dishes they cook are definitely delicious, delicious and even better than many chefs in reality!
Well... Huai is a curly-haired boy, in his mid-twenties, while Huangbai is younger, a girl with big eyes and a heroic look between her brows.
He has an ordinary appearance, like an office worker rushing past on the street every day. His cheeks are slightly thinner and his cheekbones appear to be a little prominent.
Yuxing has met both Han Xinyi and Han Zhiyong. The former has contacted them several times and the latter has followed them. In short, they are all familiar faces... Well, this mashed potato is also delicious.
The gambler Zeng Lai is a little younger than Yu Xing imagined, even smaller than Huai. His short brown hair is neither long nor short, his skin is a healthy wheat color, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is a traditional Chinese handsome guy. At this time...
Why are you staring at me?
Yu Xing swallowed the food in his mouth and glanced at Zeng Lai in confusion.
Zeng Lai pouted: "Good guy, that kid Ren Yi didn't tell me you look like this. Sure enough, he is just a strategy machine and doesn't pay attention to anything else..."
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have bragged in front of Yu Xing that he would be attracted by Medusa from the late-night guild. I'm so embarrassed.
Yu Xing did not comment on this. He also greeted: "Senior, you should also eat. Only after eating can you have the strength to occupy the room."
They have all been to the fifth floor and know that even the corridors that are open may not be explored due to various external factors. Therefore, it is said that there are seventy rooms, but in fact it is a bit more tense.
Hearing this, Yi, who was sitting close, felt that the seat under his butt was not a seat, but a stove. He ate a few bites in a hurry, and then said to the butler standing by the long table, "I'm full, can I go?"
The housekeeper nodded: "Of course, remember that seven o'clock is bathing time, don't be late~"
After getting permission, Yi stood up immediately and ran away without saying hello to anyone.
"Holy shit!" Huang Bai cursed, looking at the food and then at Huai.
Huai said: "You go and grab the room first."
Huang Bai hummed and immediately ran towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
Geng went to the third floor, which was everyone's bedroom. In order not to waste time fighting for it, the ponytail girl went directly to the second floor with the most small rooms.
Their actions made several people unable to sit still and followed them away. Even Han Xinyi smiled sweetly at Yu Xing, stood up, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "I'm leaving first, my wise god. If you could tell me why you are not in a hurry, sir, I would be so happy..."
Before she finished speaking, she looked at Han Zhiyong and went to the second floor.
At the moment, there were only three people left at the dining table, Yu Xing, Zeng Lai and Huai.
Yu Xing didn't seem to be affected at all. He picked up the soup and took a sip to soothe his throat.
Huai and Zeng Lai looked at each other and said first: "You two seem to have the confidence to complete the task of occupying the room. Are you even moving?"
Zeng Lai's appetite was aroused by Yu Xing, he put a large piece of meat into the bowl, and then asked, "Aren't you leaving too?"
"Haha, I'm not in a hurry." Huai glanced at Yu Xing, "This...Xing doesn't look like a newcomer who doesn't know anything."
Zeng Lai thought to himself, this guy has Qu Nianqing to guide him.
He hadn't figured it out before, but after seeing Yu Xing's appearance, he suddenly felt like he understood.
Ahem... Anyway, how could someone with Qu Nianqing's guidance not understand anything and just pretend!
"I wonder why Xing is so calm?" Huai Hui said so much, but he was actually sending a signal of goodwill. He knew that Zeng Lai could understand his invitation to form an alliance. As for the result, he naturally answered this question. manner.
Zeng Lai touched the faint stubble on his chin and glanced sideways at Yu Xing, feeling that he was not panicked at all. He patted Yu Xing and said, "Hey, tell me?"
Yu Xing wiped his hands with a paper towel, raised his eyelids, and shifted his gaze from the good-looking food to the two living, inedible humans. He said slowly: "Because it's not necessary. This competitive relationship may not be established. As long as we develop new It shouldn't be difficult to get eighty rooms. What's more, some rooms are difficult to enter directly. If you don't have enough strength, these rooms will always be empty, and there will definitely be no shortage of rooms that require conditions to enter. Otherwise, Alice wouldn’t have to spend an entire night completing this task for us.”
He showed a harmless smile: "Taking a step back...even if we don't open a new area, it is normal for people to die during the exploration process. As long as one person dies, the room is enough."
