Chapter 100: What unqualified behavior
Chapter 100: What unqualified behavior
The gender of the character "Jie Yan" is FEMALE.
He could almost imagine, how a horrible being appeared in this room.
But Qingman Rong could not wake up no matter what, his eyelids were like a thousand pounds, and he could only continue to drift off to sleep, but his sense of alarm was getting stronger and stronger.
There is definitely something wrong with this room.
Before entering the copy, Qingman Rong had already investigated through his own channels. Although this copy of the Ghost Studio was nominally an intermediate copy, its true scariness was close to that of some advanced copies.
The number of those ghosts in this copy that are close to the level of the Liege are far from hanging around other copies ...... The only thing that is thankful is that they do not hurt people before touching certain taboos.
But the scariest part, however, has nothing to do with the ghosts that are already in this villa.
............
......
When he woke up the next day. Qingman Rong has a slight greenish-black color under his eyes, obviously he didn't sleep well yesterday.
As soon as he got up, he looked around the house, but could not find the slightest thing that might be related to the ghost.
"That sight is coming from somewhere, anyway."
On the contrary, Wuji Gu looked very satisfied with his sleep and greeted Qingman Rong, wondering why he looked so tired.
As he said this, Wuji Gu pulled back the curtain and looked out the window.
The view of the outside world, which was completely unclear last night, was immediately reflected in Wuji Gu's eyes. It was the villa across the street, but of course, it was surrounded by fog.
"I don't know if this is the villa area or not ......" Wuji Gu felt that if he really wanted to see the outside world, he would have to go up to the third floor to do so.
"You guys ......" Qingman Rong are not sure whether this person is big-hearted and indifferent, or simply did not notice the bizarre sight last night.
How can a normal person still sleep well under that kind of sight!
Just he does not know, Wuji Gu but in the ghost cruise copy experienced by the evil gods to watch the experience of people every day, even in the case of motionless nightmares also sleep as if nothing ...... for him last night's strange at all painless, the whole person slept a great deal.
After the two of them came out of the room, the other players they met also looked tired, the crowd apparently slept at night when they felt the difference, worried and afraid to sleep.
But after exchanging a few words, they still don't know where the problem lies. There is clearly nothing in this house, where in the end is the line of sight over ......
When the group came down the stairs to the hall, they found that the table had actually been set up with breakfast, which still looked like it had just been made, emitting an aroma.
All of them filled their stomachs with the cookies they carried with them last night, and now if it weren't for the fact that they were in this kind of psychic copy, they would have gone straight up and eaten.
They have been stunned, "What the hell is going on here?"
"Could someone have been here before ...... but we didn't hear any movement at all."
These people are not ordinary people, as players they certainly have a variety of scouting means, there is no way a large living person into the place but not detected by anyone.
The others could not think of it, but Wuji Gu remembered it at once. If this world was a world in a painting, like the abandoned hospital, the owner of the painting would have put the food in by some special means, and they would not have been able to detect it.
However, there is still too little evidence, Wuji Gu also put this guess in his mind, anyway, he brought enough matches.
The crowd murmured, "A ghost can't be so kind, right, and even cook for us?"
"But this copy is already so weird, it's normal for the system to provide some more food to us."
A man went up stiffly to explore some, and immediately said, "This is just ordinary food, there is no problem." Thus saying, as if to prove his words, he directly sat down and started to move.
Although the others have a different mind, but the thought of staying in this copy for so long, it would be ridiculous not to eat and starve to death, so they have sat down.
Let Wuji Gu notice the strange is that the food on this table is different for each person, even some are placed chopsticks some are knives and forks ...... and the chopsticks in front of him are still placed on the left hand side, picking them up and changing to the other hand slightly awkward.
Although this is a trivial detail, it is one that Wuji Gu has taken to heart.
"Do you all know, then, the number of painters who have died since they went out of this studio?"
Others originally did not think, and then suddenly remembered what, are the face change.
"That's exactly eight! Exactly the same number as we have."
"After all, this training was only held for one session, and after that, that kind of thing happened."
"There's no way we're going to have to deal with those painter's ghosts here." One pulled out a reluctant smile.
But everyone around him fell into silence, unable to continue joking with him. After all, it did seem to them that it was highly likely to happen.
"So what else can people find out about these painters?" Wuji Gu opened his mouth.
"Of course you can, these people are at least well-known painters, the news casually search on it."
Said other players took out their cell phones to search up, in fact, the general copy is available casually online information, anyway, the player is not likely to run on this.
But the more they searched, the paler their faces became.
It is as if the news has been blocked, they can find out the information is not much at all, in addition to know that the studio is terrible, and even the specific how terrible do not know.
As for those painters who died, they can only find out how famous their works were and how high the prices were sold after their death, but very little of their lives can be found, not even photos.
"What's going on, the previous time clearly felt that the news is not so little ......"
"Generally speaking when something like this happens, shouldn't those media be frantically picking up all the deeds of others?" The crowd was in a state of confusion.
"I think I know why that is." Wuji Gu looked at the information he had found out, "It is said that the media that reported the deceased at the beginning also appeared haunted afterwards. Probably because of that so they are also afraid."
Now the more the situation is so covered up, the more the crowd feels bad.
"I'm wondering if all this food we're using is also related to those painters." Wuji Gu looked at the chopsticks in his hands, "It's like the food here is prepared to their taste in general, don't you think?"
Others are already sitting in their seats with ugly faces, all wondering if they should continue to eat the food at this point.
Just Qingman Rong over there has been slowly and methodically eaten up, he swept to the crowd, and directly snickered: "This is just one of the scary part of this copy, I really can't see that you are intermediate copy of the players, but even cowardly to this point."
Although his attitude caused as much discontent as before, the others were reluctantly reassured by this and sat down at the table to eat.
Wuji Gu looked at Qingman Rong a few times, and grew to appreciate this roommate.
............
......
After eating the food, the group immediately went to the drawing room located in the basement.
By now the traces they used yesterday had completely disappeared, and the drawing boards had all been replaced with new canvases. But the obvious difference between this time and last night is that all the painting tools have disappeared, and the whole space is empty simply can be described as frightening.
[Congratulations to all players who have all passed the main quest on the first day].
[Trigger a new main task: Paint a painting worth $10,000 before zero hour]
Everyone froze directly after hearing the system's words.
Although they had long guessed that the situation would not be like this, but this violently raised the requirement from one hundred to ten thousand dollars, the difference between the two was too much. If this went on, would tomorrow be the day they were asked to paint a painting worth a hundred thousand, or even a million?
By this time, they had no other flukes.
"Obviously, even if we can barely paint a painting worth 10,000 yuan, it won't last past today, it won't last past tomorrow." Jie Yan couldn't help but speak with a frown.
"Yes, and there is a trap hidden in the system's words." Wuji Gu said, "And how exactly does the system measure the value of our paintings, is it based on human aesthetics, or machine calculations ...... or, perhaps, the aesthetics of certain ghosts?"
The crowd heard his words and could not help but feel creeped out when they thought of the ghosts appreciating the paintings.
"It can be said that as long as one is not careful, even if one is able to draw a painting that meets such a value, one may not be able to pass here." Qingman Rong swept a glance at Wuji Gu and spoke coldly, "So we all need an insurance policy that ensures we must be able to complete the main quest."
"You mean ......" Wuji Gu seems to have thought of something.
Everyone else is still looking at them somewhat confused, of course some of them have already known the clues for a long time, but they will not rashly share the important information they learned just like that at this point.
After all, most players still have the idea that maybe something happened to other people they will not die, unless it is a teammate related to their interests, they will never just tell the information they know.
"Finding the painting tool in this villa, that's probably what the system wants us to do now." Wuji Gu said, "If I'm right, you can definitely find a way to paint a $10,000 painting in this villa, and it all has to do with that painting tool."
"You are still a bit smart." Qingman Rong coldly swept Wuji Gu for a moment, but in his heart he actually had a few good feelings for him, and then turned around and left alone.
The others all nodded, still apprehensive in their hearts, but at least they had a goal.
The crowd left from the basement and immediately spread out, searching around in this villa for the tools they were looking for.
Jie Yan, who still had a good feeling about Wuji Gu, deliberately waited until everyone else had almost left and said to him, "When you are looking for something in this villa afterwards, if you see any paintings, you'd better not look at their eyes."
Wuji Gu hastily thanked the other party, which must have been one of the messages he got through points when he entered the copy, and few people have told others so casually.
But he himself was not sure how the copy was really like now. After a moment of agonizing, Wuji Gu handed a match to the other side.
"Although I don't know exactly if it's useful, but if we really encounter that kind of situation, this will definitely come in handy."
In response to Wuji Gu's unspoken words, Jie Yan nodded with a bit of gratitude in his eyes.
By this time, Jie Yan's teammates were already rushing up the stairs, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Wuji Gu.
Afterwards, Wuji Gu tried his ghost management skills in the dark to see if he could summon a ghost to come out and ask a few questions.
Before he could use it, Wuji Gu already sensed the resonance of the ghost mastering technique with a presence in a distant place, and at the same time, a strong sense of crisis came to his mind.
"This is?" Does it mean that it is a linkage with the first copy of the Liege boss?
Wuji Gu has always trusted his instincts and immediately gave up using the Ghost Mastery technique.
Before that, he had used the Ghost Mastery technique so many times, but it didn't look like this. Is it because this copy is the same world as the first copy?
Anyway, when he didn't see the stern boss, he was still quite grateful to the other side ...... but Wuji Gu thought about his encounter in the first world, he was, after all, a man who didn't want to be bound, let alone get laid with the stern boss.
Although Wuji Gu doesn't believe that the Liege boss can come to this place to catch people, but considering that the golden fingers on him are given by the other side, who knows what will happen?
He immediately decided not to use Ghost Mastery in this copy, lest there be any tragedy of a rollover.
-------
Jie Yan came out of the basement and chose to enter a certain room on the first floor with another female player.
When she opened the door, she felt a cold air coming from it, and the light in the room seemed to be broken, so she couldn't open it. With the light pouring down from the outside world, they could see that it was a miscellaneous room with all kinds of things.
" Jie Yan, didn't the warning say we can't just open the door?" The female player next to me couldn't help but worry, "Will we be cursed for breaking the taboo this way!"
"There's no need to think so much, after all, it's already the time when you have to do it." Jie Yan reassured the female player on the side, "The situation can't get any worse anyway."
The female player then nodded timidly and walked into the utility room with Jie Yan.
The two of them looked around the utility room by the light of their cell phones. Soon, Jie Yan saw a painting tool in one of the buckets, and she didn't do anything rashly, but held the defensive prop in her hand.
The female player next to her was reaching for it directly, and Jie Yan had no time to warn her before she had it in her hands.
In this instant, the whole of the utility room became colder, and the light of the phone suddenly went dark, no matter how it could not be opened.
Jie Yan could not help but sigh, but did not say much, this teammate and she in reality is a good friend, the two almost died in an accident, after that although it is okay, but have bound to this system.
The two of them were lucky enough to get a big leg up, so I'm afraid the other side would have died long ago. It's just that Jie Yan didn't expect that her best friend would not only fail to mature in the copy, but would still be so reckless.
"What to do!" The female player was already all ready to cry, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have just gone and gotten that thing."
"Forget it, we should be okay to go out in the dark now, and this room is not too big, so it should be okay." Jie Yan sighed and said.
At this time what movement appeared in the house, Jie Yan beside the female player suddenly issued a panicked voice, "There, what is the sound, what is this ......"
The sound of water slowly flowing on the floor surfaced clearly next to their ears, this is just the utility room, where did the water come from?
"I remember." The female player spoke with trepidation, "When I checked the information before, I saw it. One of the female painters who went out in this studio, after achieving fame and fortune, was suddenly found dead in the bathroom at home, and her body was full of wounds. It is said that the murderer is the ex-boyfriend of the painter ......"
Jie Yan looked serious, "I saw it too. The weird thing is that the ex-boyfriend disappeared after that. It turned out that the last work of the female artist fetched a very high price instead."
"What we are encountering now, it won't be the same ......" the female player said almost holding her breath.
In the next instant, the sound of heavy footsteps and ragged breathing sounded steeply.
"Watch out!" Jie Yan immediately opened the defense props, a faint light, the flashlights of the two cell phones lit up at the same time, reflecting the figure not far away clearly.
What appeared in front of them was a hunched woman, her face was white to the extreme, covering her abdomen, stumbling towards the two. At first glance is still very ordinary, but if you look carefully, you will find that her body is covered with blood.
When she looked up, her eyes had turned blood red throughout.
"You're the one who took my stuff?"
The female player immediately let out a miserable cry, she was already stunned by the sight before her eyes, almost without thinking, she shoved the object in her hand into Jie Yan's hand, "You take it! You're the one who found this thing in the first place, you're the one who should be noticed by the ghost!"
Jie Yan are stunned, "You ......"
She thought her teammate was just a princess arrogant, but in fact must be kind-hearted, but it is clear that now, the other party's behavior and kindness does not match at all.
"Little Goose, I'm sorry! I didn't want to, when I am able to escape this time, I will definitely help you to take revenge!" The female player said through clenched teeth, without the slightest intention to stay, turned around and ran quickly towards the outside world.
But unexpectedly, the female ghost, who should have been attacking Jie Yan in her opinion, rushed towards her location without the slightest pause.
In the female player's stunned eyes, the female ghost was already close at hand, and she couldn't help but call for help: "Help me! Little goose I was wrong, you can't watch me die!"
Jie Yan's sighing voice rang out, "It seems you don't know yet. The ghosts here will appear because their things are taken away, but instead they will not easily make a move on those people ...... Rather, it is those who have nothing that are the real prey of the ghosts."
She originally did not mean to conceal it, but only slightly wanted to test it, who knew that the other party acted so quickly and the situation became like this.
The female player's eyes revealed a deep look of shock and awe, and she could not help but feel regret in her heart, but before she could say anything on it, she let out a horrifying scream.
Jie Yan broke out in a cold sweat, and she couldn't bear to look any further, but turned her head away.
She has recognized the true nature of her teammate. Besides, this female ghost is not an existence she can go and mess with rashly.
But after turning her head, she suddenly noticed something and was immediately stunned.
Clearly there was nothing before a snow-white wall, but at this time there was a painting on it.
"What is, what?"
---------
As Wuji Gu checked around in the basement some more and finally decided to go upstairs, he suddenly noticed a pencil rolling down the basement door.
The pencil hit Wuji Gu's shoe and was then picked up by him.
"This is? What's with the pencils in this place."
Wuji Gu while looking at the pencil in his hand while walking up, he saw the basement going up the inside of the passage, the wall has been more than a line of words written in blood.
''I've been waiting here for a long time.''
"Hmm?" Wuji Gu couldn't help but look grave.
Writing on the wall is really unqualified behavior.
A few steps further up, Wuji Gu suddenly realized that the stairs were far longer than he had ever walked before. No, it was simply that you could not see the end after looking up.
Now, if he can't find out he's hit a ghost, it's a waste of twenty years of life.
The blood on the wall is also increasing, from some unknown words briefly before, into some very childish and cute looking portraits, which are eight cute little people playing somewhere.
Wuji Gu thinks the ghosts of this copy may have some kind of obsession with eight.
But this painted with blood, this cute like a child's picture book style of painting but creepy.
As the fresh blood flowed down, it was as if the original cute little people were bleeding, and the pairs of eyes seemed to be staring out at Wuji Gu, turning from their previous innocence to a color full of resentment.
Wuji Gu looked at the wall, his face changing in various ways, as if he was thinking deeply about something extremely important.
Soon, as the portrait was completely destroyed by blood, a few large words emerged crookedly on it, "Stay with me."
Then a cold hand on Wuji Gu's shoulder, the hand's coldness as if it could penetrate into the marrow of the bone.
In this ghost to Wuji Gu showed a fierce smile, expecting to see the human in front of the human to show fear ......
Wuji Gu calmly turned his head to look behind him and took hold of the ghost's hand as soon as he could.
The entire ghost is frozen in place, and Wuji Gu also seems to be afraid that it ran away, clenched his hand, frowned: "Even if you like to draw again, so randomly scribbled on the wall is not okay, you know how hard it is to clean up, this is a complete lack of quality behavior ...... "
For a while, the air in this passage seemed to freeze.
"Of course, I know you probably didn't mean it." Wuji Gu sighed again, "Looking at those paintings on the wall, you should be quite a childlike ghost ...... It's not too late to change yourself."
Ghost: "?"
