Chapter 115 You Nine Tripods Are Just Too Cunning

Zheng Xun climbed along the ventilation duct for about ten minutes.

During this period, he did not encounter any forks in the road. It was a one-way road, and it was estimated that it would eventually point him to a fixed place.

It was very dark inside the duct. Although Zheng Xun's mobile phone had no signal, it could be used as a flashlight. He held the curtain rod in one hand and groped for the road ahead with the other hand. Finally, his fingers touched a layer of blocking nets.

Looking down from the gap in the mesh, he saw sofas, coffee tables and the like. It seemed to be a relatively large space, a bit like a living room.

There was light, and it seemed to be natural light.

Is it daybreak?

Zheng Xun took out the screwdriver in his pocket, unscrewed the screws one by one, and gently moved the blocking net away.

Then he lowered his body and looked outside.

A young man in a dark purple team uniform stood in the middle of the living room, and seemed to have been paying attention to the vents on the ceiling.

Zheng Xun had just stuck out half of his head, and the weapon in the other party's hand was instantly in front of him.

"Are you... Zheng Xun?"

He seemed to recognize Zheng Xun's identity and put the weapon back.

Zheng Xun could see the whole thing clearly. It was the same as his, a curtain rod.

It seemed that he was a player who had just escaped.

Zheng Xun lowered the long rod in his hand, and the other party took it.

Then he supported the two sides of the vent with his arms, stretched out his long legs, jumped down, and landed perfectly.

The young man in front of him was about 24 or 25 years old, with short hair, tall stature, and a calm look. He was probably a player with rich experience in dungeons. There was a small mole on the tip of his left eyebrow.

He was wearing the team uniform of Jiuding. Zheng Xun had seen it before, so he could recognize it at a glance.

"Jiuding's people?"

Zheng Xun looked around first. This was probably a public living room, which was also simply decorated, even shabby.

Two sofas, one single and one double, a lame coffee table, and a pot of half-dead flowers.

Zheng Xun's eyes had originally passed over the pot of flowers, but suddenly turned back and squinted his eyes and stared at it for a while.

Although the flowers were withered and unrecognizable, he was somewhat familiar with the vase.

It was the lily of the valley he saw in his dream.

The Jiuding team member noticed his gaze, followed it, and also found the pot of flowers.

"Is there something wrong with the flowers?"

"No, there is no problem."

Zheng Xun brushed off the topic.

After he had observed the surroundings, he turned his sight back to the young man in front of him and frowned slightly.

"I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

The young man smiled.

"Normal, I'm quite famous."

He was not modest.

"So what's your name?"

"... Gu Xiuqi, I'm a member of Jiuding Team 1. Maybe you've seen me in the news and magazines."

"Gu Xiuqi..."

Zheng Xun repeated the other person's name, frowning tightly, and several scenes flashed by, but he couldn't catch them.

"No, I didn't see it through any media, I saw it with my own eyes..."

He had some difficulty recalling, which was very abnormal, Zheng Xun's memory was always very good.

Gu Xiuqi smiled again.

"It's true that this is not the first time we have met... But it's also normal that you can't recognize me."

As he spoke, he changed the subject again.

"Our captain is very interested in you."

"...I beg him to withdraw his interest."

Zheng Xun suddenly thought of Mo Qian, and he was completely numb.

Gu Xiuqi did not continue to chat, but discussed the current situation with him.

"It seems that only the two of us have escaped from that single room."

Zheng Xun raised his head and found that there were six vents on the ceiling, two of which had been opened.

It is estimated that they were for him and Gu Xiuqi.

"Have you found any clues in this room?"

Zheng Xun did not know when the other four players, or three, would come out, so he had to look at this living room temporarily.

The living room was in full view. Judging from the ground outside the window, this should be the first floor. The living room is located at the edge of the building, and there is a corridor connecting here and other rooms.

The corridor is very dark, without any light source, and it is not clear what is inside.

The windows of the living room shine with natural light, and it is daytime outside now. Zheng Xun just leaned over to take a look, and the fog was very thick, and he could not see anything clearly. He could only see a small piece of exposed land at the bottom of the window, which was all fine white sand.

After hearing Zheng Xun's question, Gu Xiuqi nodded.

"There is a manual."

He finally took out his hand from the pocket of his team uniform jacket, and there was a small brochure in his palm.

"..." Zheng Xun paused, "If I hadn't asked just now, would you not have shared this clue?"

"How could that be," Gu Xiuqi smiled meaningfully, "I have to have a normal conversation with you to determine whether you are an NPC or a boss."

"..."

As expected, the people of Jiuding are very careful.

Zheng Xun didn't argue with him and took the manual to read it.

This is a brochure of the mansion. It is estimated that it was rented to foreign tourists and used as a homestay for a period of time.

The content of the manual is very concise. After opening it, there is a structural diagram of the mansion on the left and a brief introduction on the right -

Dear tourist friends:

Thank you for choosing Linxun Mansion. This mansion is located on a beautiful hillside with pleasant scenery and birds singing and flowers blooming. But please don't open the window or door casually to enjoy the beautiful scenery, which may cause you to encounter some small accidents.

The mansion is divided into three floors, each with a public bathroom and living room. The bathroom is open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, and the living room is open from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. Please strictly abide by the public space usage hours.

You can walk around the mansion during the day, and after dark, please find an empty single room as soon as possible.

Due to the small number of long-term tenants in the mansion, the number of rooms is not sufficient. Perhaps you and one of your companions cannot find a suitable single room at night. We are deeply sorry for this, but this is a problem that cannot be solved temporarily.

If you hear noises from next door or outside the door at night, please do not open the door casually.

Food and water are stored in the restaurant on the first floor. Each meal is strictly prepared according to the number of people. Please do not take more, otherwise your companions will be troubled.

There are some rumors about Linxun Mansion, and I believe you have heard them. For example, people who die here will be resurrected, and there is a room leading to the other side. I hope you can make a correct judgment on these rumors. Here is just a reminder: do not speak the names of the dead easily.

I hope you can enjoy the three days and three nights in Linxun Mansion. After 0:00 on the fourth day, you and your companions can pack your luggage and leave on your own.

Of course, if you meet me during this period and ask me for help, I will take you away in advance. I hope you will treat this proposal with caution. I am me, not me, or maybe it. I appear at night, and you can only see me if you open the right door.
