Chapter 128 Love and History

Zheng Xun thought about it. Since that "person" had already gone to the third floor, he would not go to the third and second floors for the time being. He would stay on the first floor for a while.

He would hold on for a while.

There was no sound from rooms 101 and 102. He wondered if the two players inside had heard the strange footsteps coming from upstairs just now.

Zheng Xun took a tentative step forward, but there was no sound.

It seemed that the quality of the floor on the first floor was not bad.

He walked carefully, choosing the floors that looked intact to step on, trying not to make any sound.

He was moving deeper into the corridor, which was rooms 103 and 104 that were not opened during the day.

Zheng Xun was driven by an intuition. He always felt that there would be something different in those two rooms at night.

He walked cautiously to room 103 and stood outside the door. This was the place where he wanted to break in by force during the day, but was forcibly stopped by Gu Xiuqi.

He put his hand on the door handle.

Gently pressed down.

…

Unlike the situation where he couldn't press it down during the day, this time Zheng Xun easily turned it a quarter.

These rooms that were "inaccessible" according to the rules could actually be opened at night.

Zheng Xun raised his eyebrows and pressed the door handle to the bottom.

Okay, let him come to meet the "good neighbor" now.

…

Second floor.

After Yan Lingqing entered his room, he immediately locked the door.

It was different from the situation when they escaped before. Now there was no password lock on the door, but an ordinary door lock.

Just pull the latch gently to lock the door.

…Although this lock seems to be unable to block anything, it is better than nothing.

Yan Lingqing didn't stop locking the door. He looked around the room. The iron bed couldn't be moved. He moved the TV and the cabinets below behind the door and used their weight as a protection.

Check again whether the window is closed and locked. Following Zheng Xun and the others, he removed the curtain rod with a screwdriver and held it in his hand.

After doing these things, he sat in the gap between the wardrobe and the iron bed, nervously waiting for dawn.

His mobile phone only had 10% battery left. I should have brought a power bank with me before going out.

Originally, he just went to the 009 area to play, but was involved in this copy for no reason. Yan Lingqing cursed his bad luck in his heart while trembling with fear.

He muttered something silently, probably some words to pray for his safety.

I just checked the time on my phone, it was 8:58.

Yan Lingqing was so nervous that he suddenly felt a little fuzzy. I don’t know if it was because he had spent a high-intensity day and he was now tired.

His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and gradually, his vision became hazy.

Between half asleep and half awake, he vaguely heard a sound.

Dong...

Dong...

Dong...

It sounded like a collision.

Yan Lingqing woke up instantly, and he thought he had heard it wrong.

But when he regained consciousness, the rhythmic thumping sound reached his ears very clearly.

What on earth was that sound? !

The sound seemed to come from the other side of the wall. He was in 202, and the next door should be 204 where You Xueshan was.

What on earth was this woman doing that she didn't keep quiet at night? !

The walls between the rooms in the mansion were very thin, and even a cough from the next door could be heard.

Yan Lingqing was a little angry, thinking that the other party was deliberately scaring him.

He stood up and wanted to kick the wall a few times to make the people next door quiet down.

But the moment he stood up, he realized something that made him shudder.

The sound didn't come from the other side of the wall.

It came from the wardrobe!

Yan Lingqing felt cold all over, as if he was suddenly thrown into a freezing snowy day, and his internal organs were chilled.

He stepped back a few steps until the end of the iron bed tripped his knees, forcing him to sit back on the bed.

Opposite him was the tall double-door wardrobe.

The wardrobe was not locked, and from the outside, there was no shaking.

But there was a constant banging sound coming from inside.

Dong... Dong...

Yan Lingqing screamed uncontrollably, and the sound not only made You Xueshan next door raise her eyes slightly, but also attracted the attention of Gu Xiuqi downstairs.

You Xueshan, who was originally sitting on the bed, got up gently, like a clever cat, and approached the wall separating her room from Yan Lingqing's.

She put her ear to it.

Dong... Dong...

You Xueshan's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Although she was not very clear, she also heard the strange banging sound.

Gu Xiuqi did not move.

He was originally searching for clues in the room, trying to find some details that he had not noticed before, when a scream came from the second floor.

It sounded like it was not Zheng Xun's, it was Yan Lingqing.

Gu Xiuqi ignored it and did not show any worried expression, which made him seem indifferent, but the indifference was very reasonable in such a situation.

He had no reason to worry about a player from another guild that he had never met.

Yan Lingqing only screamed once, and it was unknown whether he was solved by the monster or he realized that such a scream would only attract more monsters, so he covered his mouth that caused trouble.

In fact, he had already attracted someone's attention.

First floor.

After Zheng Xun opened the door of Room 103, he was ready to give his new neighbor a warm and intimate greeting.

But to his great disappointment, Room 103 was empty.

It was not that no one lived there, but that the "person" inside was not in the room tonight.

Zheng Xun judged this information from the remaining dinner and cold coffee on the table.

It happened that while the good neighbor was away, he began to collect clues.

This room was different from the shabby and simple single rooms they had lived in before. Although the conditions were limited, it could be seen that the owner of the room had tried his best to make it warm and comfortable.

The floor was covered with wool carpets, and there was a separate fireplace in the room. There was a single bed covered with soft bedding, and the quilt was meticulously laid on the sheets. Next to the bed was an exquisite sofa chair.

The room was full of books. There were books on the bookshelf, and four or five piles on the floor. Zheng Xun went up and quickly read the titles of the books. There were all kinds of books.

The two categories that occupied the largest number were history books and romance novels.

It was hard to imagine what kind of person could combine these two completely different reading tastes at the same time.

... Reality and fantasy intertwined?

Zheng Xun was on guard that the owner of the room might come back at any time, so he didn't dare to flip through the books too much, and couldn't tear down everything he saw as usual.

He took a hardcover copy of "Jane Eyre" off the bookshelf, shook it, and a bookmark fell out of it.

At this moment, Yan Lingqing's scream came from the second floor, causing Zheng Xun's hand to pause while picking up the bookmark.
