Chapter 127 Hide and Seek
After the door of room 102 closed, the whole mansion became completely quiet.
The silence was unusual, as if the mansion had come to life, like a human being, closing his mouth and holding his breath.
Zheng Xun stood at one end of the corridor, at the door of Room 102. This is adjacent to the stairs leading to the second floor, and on the other side of the stairs is the public living room.
The clock in the living room reads 8:02.
Zheng Xun did not rush to other places, but silently checked everyone's room numbers in his mind, matching the person to the room and the location of the room.
There is no one on the third floor.
On the second floor, 202 Yan Lingqing, 203 Xi Li, and 204 You Xueshan.
On the first floor, 101 Gu Xiuqi and 102 Yang Huan.
Counting him wandering outside, there are six players.
After 8 o'clock, all the lights in the corridor and living room were turned off. Only the pale moonlight outside the window slanted through the window at the end of the corridor, preventing the place from falling into complete darkness.
Zheng Xun didn't want to use his phone's flashlight for the time being. There were no charging devices here, and he didn't want his phone to run out of power too quickly.
Just now, after the four players entered their respective rooms, Zheng Xun gave up the room that should have belonged to him to Yang Huan.
Not that he was very kind.
Perhaps in the eyes of other players, it is good to be able to find a safe place to hide in a dangerous night until dawn.
But Zheng Xun didn't want this.
After entering the room, you have no idea what is happening outside, which will only make you fall into a more passive situation.
What's more, Zheng Xun didn't believe that as long as they hid in the room according to the rules, nothing would happen.
The rules in that manual are full of loopholes, and the mastermind behind them will always take advantage of them and kill them all.
Zheng Xun thought that instead of hiding in the room and waiting nervously, he might as well come and meet the boss in this dungeon in person.
Even if you die, you will understand.
When night fell completely, when Zheng Xun pushed Yang Huan into the room that originally belonged to him, the barrage was quiet for a moment, and then suddenly broke out.
: Come on, come on! Zheng Xun actually came for real!
: Let’s just say, Zheng Shen will definitely not ignore death. Everything he does has a purpose.
: What about those people who just said that Er Zhui would not save him even if he saw death? Why don't you come out and vomit now?
: Two hammers, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, I am really worried to death! What should you do if you shut yourself out? !
: I seem to understand a little bit. Did they vote before to pick a room? It seems that not all rooms can be entered, and someone must be alone.
: So Zheng Xun sacrificed himself to let all other players live in?
: Don’t think too much of Er Hammer, he must have his own meaning for doing this.
: I also think that he probably wants to have sex with the boss in the dungeon.
: Don’t be too outrageous in front of me! It’s so funny to make a homely routine.
The players in the guild had mixed reactions to Zheng Xun's approach.
Some people think that he is too soft-hearted and must put the life and death of others aside at this time. The idea like him of wanting to protect all players is simply naive.
Some thought he was too reckless. He may be too confident in his own strength, thinking that he has a huge chance of winning even one-on-one with the boss, so he dares to throw himself out alone like this.
In the lounge, Xu Guan, who had been watching Zheng Xun's actions silently, had a rough guess about his true thoughts.
He just doesn't like being bound by rules.
Whether outside the White Tower or inside the White Tower. No rules can completely constrain him.
In the copy, Zheng Xun sorted out the ideas in his mind and planned to take action.
Since the rules specifically distinguish between day and night, there must be something different at night.
The wooden floor in the corridor has been broken and peeled due to its age and disrepair.
Zheng Xun carefully took two steps forward.
Squeak——
The wooden floor was overwhelmed and let out a long groan.
Zheng Xun's footsteps paused.
It wasn't the sound he made.
At this time, he no longer continued walking, but the squeaking sound continued.
Zheng Xun's eyelids raised.
The voice was right above his head, coming from the second floor.
It's footsteps.
The footsteps continued for two more times, and then suddenly disappeared.
It was as if the "person" on the second floor suddenly realized that there was no sound on the first floor and stopped.
Zheng Xun's lips tightened slightly, his breathing became lighter, and the hand holding the curtain rod gradually tightened.
They seemed to stop at the same spot just one floor apart.
Barrage was almost scared to death at this time.
Because the other five players have already entered the single room, all five perspectives are scenes in the room.
This also means that whatever Zheng Xun, who is the only one outside, sees, the audience in the live broadcast room sees.
They also had no clue as to the source of the sound on the second floor.
: Scared to death! Scared to death! There's something on the second floor!
: What on earth is it! Don’t be too stupid with this copy! How come the audience doesn’t even have a God’s perspective! !
: The sense of immersion is so strong, I feel like I’m already standing on the first floor.
: I can’t even breathe...
: By the way, this difficult level is really not for people to play with. People on the Internet say how easy it is to brush up your books with a second hammer, but in the current atmosphere, if someone had to replace him, he would have to pee his pants.
: What will Zheng Shenhui do? He and the thing on the second floor seemed to be at a stalemate.
Zheng Xun remained motionless.
Now is a process that tests one's mentality. The monster above, or something else, has obviously stopped and has no intention of moving forward.
If Zheng Xun runs away at this time, it will inevitably make a huge noise on the first floor.
If he chooses to wait where he is, the "person" on the second floor will suddenly rush downstairs and kill him who is standing not far from the stairs.
Dilemma.
Zheng Xun's breathing and heartbeat are very slow now. If an instrument that can display heartbeat is connected at this time, everyone will be surprised to find that his heartbeat is not even 85.
Such calmness makes him a little surprised when he thinks about it later.
He maintains a standing posture, his feet are not moving, but his knees are slightly bent, his upper body is lowered, and his back is arched.
A posture ready to attack or run away at any time.
The quartz clock in the living room ticks. Zheng Xun silently counts the number of times the second hand bounces.
One, two, three...
It took a full three minutes.
Three minutes later, he heard the "person" on the second floor move. The sound of the floor being stepped on rang out again.
Squeak...
Squeak...
It was walking towards the staircase and would go down to the first floor at any time.
Zheng Xun's nerves instantly tensed up.
Squeak...
Squeak...
The footsteps gradually moved upwards and away, and Zheng Xun's shoulders relaxed slightly with the sound.
It seemed that it went to the third floor.
He glanced at the time displayed on the clock.
8:30.
Only half an hour had passed, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his body.
It seemed that tonight, he would have to keep playing "hide and seek" with the monster in this mansion.
