Chapter 118 The Room on the 3nd Floor

Although it was already known that some players had lost their lives, when they saw it with their own eyes the next day, everyone present gasped.

The one who died was one of the two female players who lived in Room [-].

She was lying on the bed, covered with a good quilt, her face was not so much pale, it was better to say that she had no blood in her body, her whole body was like a deflated balloon, as if all the blood had been drained from her body.

The female player who lived in the same room with her was already crying in fright. When asked if she saw anything, she shook her head like a rattle and said that she slept through the night until morning. Come to wake her up, without knowing that she is already dead.

Ren Ran checked the door lock, there was no sign of prying it open, and the windows were well closed.

"The murderer must be one of those five people! At worst, they should be caught and questioned one by one. Anyway, there are only five people, so I can't find it!" Another male player said.

The girl cried for a long time in fright, and asked another girl hesitantly, "Can I sleep with you tonight?"

The girl smiled: "No, my roommate and I get along pretty well."

You didn't choose me at the time, so why are you so scared that you want to take my back now? It would be safer to live with a man.Chen Yu read the following short story through the girl's expression, and couldn't help admiring himself.

Ren Ran tried to find clues from the dead player, but since all the blood had been drained from her whole body, her whole body felt very strange, and she couldn't tell if there was any trauma.

At this time, the female player said: "Old Castle, do you think it looks like the legend of vampires? Only vampires can suck blood."

"That makes sense, so the murderer we're facing is a vampire?" The male player thought for a while, then shook his head: "Then yesterday's Earl was not in good health, he wasn't drained of blood, but those wanted people in the dungeon are all You can’t think with common sense.”

At this time, the opened door was knocked politely.

The maid Bella stood at the door and looked at them with a smile: "Dear guests, breakfast is ready, please go to the dining room to eat. As for the room, don't worry, I will clean it, and please abide by it." The rules for changing rooms."

The breakfast was still very rich, but after looking at the corpse, everyone's appetite plummeted. They just ate a few pieces of bread and did nothing. Ren Ran saw that the male and female players who lived with him were already asking a few NPCs.

"Ren Ran, what are we doing today?" Chen Yu asked.

"There are very few NPCs in this dungeon, and they seem to have a good relationship with each other. Asking NPCs will not yield results. I am very interested in the third floor." Ren Ran said.

"You can't go to the third floor. I think that butler Pete is elusive and will definitely catch you." Chen Yu sighed.

"Find a way to hold him." Ren Ran said, "He was painting in the garden yesterday afternoon, but the weather is bad today, Pete probably won't go out, only you can find a way to hold him."

Chen Yu was a little embarrassed: "The concubine can't do it."

"..."

Pete's hobby is drawing, and Ren Ran couldn't help laughing at himself that there are quite a few NPCs in the broken system who like to draw, and he bumped into several along the way.

"Do you have any hobbies and specialties?" Ren Ran asked.

"Painting." Chen Yu replied quite confidently.

"..."

"Don't you believe it?" Looking at Ren Ran's suspicious gaze, Chen Yu couldn't help being shocked, "I admit that I am weak, but I am really strong in painting."

"Very well, let's find a suitable time, you and the housekeeper Pete discuss painting techniques, colors, everything is good, find a way to hold him back, preferably on the first floor, give me half an hour I will go once Third floor."

One morning, they were all wandering around, Ren Ran also wanted to avoid the other players, those players circled around a few NPCs all morning, the situation was not ideal in the end.

The female chef, Rose, was researching new recipes and ingredients, and was annoyed by their questions, which caused a big loss of standard, and more than half of the lamb chops at noon were burnt.Bella, the maid, was cleaning the room, and she couldn't help being furious when she saw that finger prints appeared on the wiped threshold.Walt, the servant, was still repairing the telephone line, and was furious when he was asked, and the voltage exploded.The gardener Jeff was even worse. He was repairing a spherical plant decoration. He was accidentally pushed by a female player and cut off more than half of it. Jeff drove them away angrily.

The one with the best temper was the butler Pete, who greeted him with a smiling face and answered every question, but he didn’t know what to ask. In the end, he just smiled and said: “The servants’ rooms are all on the first floor. Of course we are sleeping at night, and there is nothing. See. Dear guests, please go to bed early and wake up early to stay healthy."

When Ren Ran and Chen Yu went downstairs to look for the butler Pete, Chen Yu was reporting the progress of the players in the morning, and he leaned forward and backward with a smile: "I'm really laughing to death, you are right, if you can talk to the NPC It's a hell of a thing to get out of it."

"It's not completely useless, their method is just wrong." When they reached the stairs on the second floor, they saw Pete standing on the first floor asking Rose to clean a few closets.

"Can you?" Ren Ran confirmed with him again, "If I fail, I don't know what Pete will do to me, and you won't be able to pass the level."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Chen Yu patted his chest and walked downstairs.

Conversations were soon heard.

"Mr. Pete, are you free now? I have something to ask."

"My dear guest, we have been sleeping all night and have heard nothing."

"Mr. Pete, I'm sleeping too, and I haven't heard anything. I just want to know something about painting."

"Oh, you're interested in drawing too? That would be great."

The voices of the two people went away, Ren Ran walked up to the third floor.

When he went to the earl's room yesterday, he had already paid a little attention to the layout of the third floor, so he went to the nearest studio first.

The studio is very large, and there are only some painting tools and a few vacant easels inside, making the studio look empty.

There are many oil paintings on the surrounding walls, which look the same as those hanging in the room. They are all landscape paintings in the garden, from various angles and different distances.

Maybe it's because there are too many oil paintings and the colors are too mixed. After staying in the room for a minute, Ren Ran felt dizzy. There were no other clues in the studio. When he was about to retreat and leave, his eyes stayed on the one closest to him. on a painting.

There is a number 1570 written on the lower right corner of the oil painting. Because the color of the oil painting is bright and the number is very small, it is easy for people to ignore it. Three paintings date 1570.

Looking to the side, it is 1620, three 1620s, followed by three 1670s, rotating clockwise, the nearest painting is 2020, and there is only one.

Ren Ran first felt that the number meant the year, so if the number in the painting represents the year, what does it mean if there are three gardens 50 years apart?

Before closing the door, Ren Ran took a last look at the studio. It was just an ordinary garden oil painting, there was nothing special about it. He turned around and opened another door, the musical instrument room.

When it comes to painting, Ren Ran still learned a little bit from his mother, but he really doesn't know anything about musical instruments, especially some medieval musical instruments, even if they look familiar, most of them can't be called by name, only in the closet He knows the vinyl record player, because his mother has one.

There was a vinyl record on the record player, Ren Ran suddenly remembered the faint music sound last night, maybe it was this sound.

Afterwards, he went to the study room on the third floor. Some so-called study rooms only had a bookcase. The whole room was empty, and the heavy velvet curtains blocked most of the light. The ambiance is very good.

These books are very strange, most of them are in English, some of the rest are in French, German, and the rest are in languages ​​that Ren Ran is not familiar with, and some even have no words, from the cover of the book to the last page, there is not a single word , a pure wordless book, and there are several such books. Ren Ran found that the more strange the books and the books with obscure characters, the older they were, and some even had their covers peeled off, as if they had gone through a long history washing.

Ren Ran looked at the time and picked up the latest book. The English was very bad, it was not printed, it was a handwritten book.

It tells about the continuation of a family through the long centuries.

Suddenly there was a loud commotion downstairs, it was Chen Yu's voice.

"Mr. Pete, I don't want to do this, it's really troublesome!"

"Honorable sir, please be sure to abide by the rules of V Manor, this is an agreement that all guests must abide by." Butler Pete's voice was full of anger.

"Mr. Pete, I'm a guest, how can there be such a way of hospitality like yours!" Chen Yu was extremely excited, and raised his voice: "We are guests! Why do we keep changing rooms, I am a person who recognizes beds, Changing residences so frequently, I can’t rest well every day!”

Ren Ran left the third floor and walked downstairs. When he reached the corner of the second and third floors, he saw Pete and Chen Yu standing on the second floor. The atmosphere was tense. Chen Yu's face was facing Ren Ran. Pete Turn your back on him.

"Dear sir, please remember that although you are a distinguished guest of V manor, it does not mean that you can violate the rules of the manor at any time. If you don't sleep well, I can ask Rose to boil a glass of fresh milk for you, or let Rose Bella will light some incense in your room, but please remember not to violate the rules of the manor, you must change rooms today." Perhaps the butler Pete was the first time he saw such an unreasonable guest, and he held his hand tightly. fist.

Ren Ran stood at the top of the stairs, coughed, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Pete, we will change rooms today, and my friend didn't mean any harm. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Butler Pete turned his head, his face softened a little, "Thank you, dear sir."

In an instant, he asked suspiciously again: "Where did you appear from?" His eyes looked uneasily at the third floor.

"I came up from the first floor. I was downstairs. I heard you guys arguing, so I came up to have a look." Ren Ran didn't blush, his heart was beating, it was very natural.

"Sorry to bother you, I'm going to see how Ross's dinner is getting ready." Pete bowed to them, turned and went downstairs.

After confirming that he had really gone far, Chen Yu let out a long breath, leaned against the wall behind him, wiped his sweat, "You finally showed up, half an hour as promised, now it's been an hour Zero five points, I won't take you to play like this."

"The English font is too expensive. It took some time. You did a good job. You managed to hold him back for an hour. To be honest, I didn't think you could hold it off for so long." So never underestimate a person's limit potential.

"I said that I was a student of painting. Mr. Pete was very happy at first, and he talked about painting skills and so on, and then gradually his painting style changed." Chen Yu said with a sad face, "He started talking about How can I know so much about the structure of paper, the preparation of paint, and many medieval painting elements and points? I tried my best to hold him back and start arguing about the room.”

They packed their clothes and luggage, and moved to Room [-]. Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Didn't a player die here yesterday? I don't want to live here."

"It was very clean, nothing was left, even the sheets were changed, you are really afraid, you should sleep in another bed." Ren Ran said.

Chen Yu couldn't wait for Ren Ran to say that, so he quickly jumped onto another bed and asked, "Did you find anything on the third floor?"

"Yes, but the clues are not clear enough, I need to sort out my thinking."

Ren Ran looked around Room [-], there are only two possibilities, and it depends on whether there will be another accident in Room [-] tonight.

They went downstairs to have dinner. Today's dinner was still steak. Rose's cooking skills were quite good. The steak was fried on the outside and tender on the inside. They were all a little hungry and ate up.Chen Yu complained that he only ate well-cooked ones, and after hearing this, Ross said that he would make a separate one for him tomorrow.

After dinner, they went back to their rooms. After taking a shower, Ren Ran began to clean up the clues he had seen in the afternoon. The sound of Chen Yu taking a shower was like a lullaby, and the oil paintings on the wall kept flickering in front of him. The familiar drowsiness struck again.

Just when he was about to fall asleep with his mobile phone, Chen Yu patted him heavily, and Ren Ran woke up with a jolt.

"Sure enough, there is something wrong with this room. I was the same yesterday. After taking a shower, you were lying on the bed and fell asleep. I turned off the light and wanted to play games for a while, but I also fell asleep for no reason."

There is a hypnotic thing in the room, which will put the player into a deep sleep, but this is not unbreakable, and a sudden sound can wake the player up.

The key is where is the problem?
