Chapter 119 2 Branch Lines

The first thing that Ren Ran thought of was oil painting, including in the studio in the afternoon, he always had the urge to fall asleep, and there was the slight sound of music at night.

"Ren Ran, come and take a look, this painting is so strange." Chen Yu hung his head towards the end of the bed, his eyes fell on the oil painting.

"The view of the garden." Ren Ran said.

"It's true when you look at it, but if you look at it backwards, it doesn't seem to be the case!" Chen Yu said.

Ren Ran did the same thing, and the upside-down oil painting in his eyes didn't look like anything at first, but gradually the colors were recombined, and after a while of dizziness, he saw a brand new painting.

In a familiar dark-toned room, a person is lying on a bed hung with a crimson velvet curtain, and a person in a tuxedo is standing beside the bed. There is only a back view in the oil painting, but his face is invisible. He leans over the person with his head down of the neck.

"Ren Ran, that player is really right. There are vampires in this castle! That female player didn't have any blood left on her body today, she was sucked dry!" Chen Yu said.

"Yes, or it is similar to the setting of vampires. I read a book in the study in the afternoon, which records the history of this family. They don't live on blood, but they regard it as a delicacy. They are afraid of the sun. But you can also go out for a walk on cloudy days, the family does not focus on reproduction, but will designate the next successor, once every 50 years."

It matches the painting in the studio, Ren Ran suddenly thought that maybe the painting in the studio needs to be viewed upside down, but after today, the possibility of sneaking into the third floor tomorrow is too low.There is also an encyclopedia that says the basement. What is the basement used for?

Ren Ran lay flat on the bed, and when his phone vibrated to wake him up, it was already 11:30, and Chen Yu also woke up at the same time, and he also adjusted the vibration on his phone.

"Damn, the two of us were still studying oil painting before, so we didn't know why we fell asleep. This room is poisonous!" Chen Yu kept rubbing his eyes and yawning again and again.

"Did you hear the music? It's the same as yesterday, if there is nothing." Ren Ran looked up at the dark surroundings, and walked to the door of the room gropingly.

"Yes, is the sound of this music also tricky?" Chen Yu said.

Soon, the footsteps from yesterday appeared again. They tensed their nerves and held the doorknob at the same time, but this time the footsteps did not stay in their room, they walked straight past, followed by the sound of the door being opened, followed by There was silence for more than ten minutes, followed by the sound of the door being opened again.

"Are we safe tonight? Will that vampire come back to us again?" Chen Yu asked.

"I probably won't be back tonight, I don't know tomorrow." Ren Ran got up and jumped back on the bed.

I didn't stay in front of their house at all today. What conditions did they trigger?Or is it because the player died in Room [-] yesterday, so it's not within the scope of the target selection?

"Ouch, I'll go." Chen Yu tripped over the foot of the bed, and although he was fine, he fell into a squatting position, "Damn it, it's too bad not to turn on the lights at night."

"Let me turn on the lighting on my phone." Ren Ran turned on the light on his phone and illuminated the road in front of him for him. However, when the light flashed across the wall, Ren Ran opened his eyes wide and looked at it thoughtfully. Going to the wall, "It turned out to be such a structure, I understand."

On the third day, another male player in Room [-] died. The method of death was exactly the same as that of the female player yesterday. All the blood was drained from his body. Ren Ran really couldn't describe what it was like to be drained However, just like the female player, her face was calm and serene, and she was sucked dry of blood without knowing what would happen.

The remaining two girls let go of the past, hugged each other and shivered. While eating breakfast, they asked the housekeeper Pete if they could stay in one room at night. Pete said yes, but the room for tonight must also be Change, choose one of No. 11 and NO.[-].

"Ren Ran, what do you mean by constantly changing rooms?" Chen Yu asked in a low voice.

"Have you finished eating? Let's go for a walk after we finish eating."

Today's weather is not good either, only the sun was out on the first day they first came, and the weather was gloomy for the next two days.Ren Ran stood in the center of the garden and looked around this majestic and ancient castle. His eyes fell on a row of windows on the third floor.

"Do you remember that when we went to the earl's room that day, the curtains were drawn?" Ren Ran asked.

"It's not on." Chen Yu said.

"Are you sure?" Ren Ran asked.

"I'm sure, the earl's room has a particularly good orientation, it's the one in the middle, and I saw the stars outside the window that day, hey, I didn't notice if you didn't tell me, this room belongs to the earl, why are the curtains drawn?" Chen Yu wondered.

"Good morning, distinguished gentlemen." Jeff the gardener was in a very good mood, carrying a shovel, wearing white gloves, and smiling all over his face.

"Mr. Jeff, good morning, have you had breakfast?" Ren Ran asked with a smile.

"Of course, the freshly baked bread and warm milk, Mrs. Rose's craftsmanship is really wonderful." Jeff smacked his lips, still wanting to say more.

"Mr. Jeff is in a good mood, did something pleasant happen?" Ren Ran asked.

"The sun will come out tomorrow, my lovely gentlemen, have you seen those red flowers? These flowers need plenty of sunshine. They have been sluggish for a few days, and they will regain their glory tomorrow. Of course I am. Very happy."

The more Mr. Jeff thought about it, the happier he became, and he hummed a little song, Ren Ran sounded like "today's weather is so sunny, everywhere is beautiful."

"Mr. Jeff, has Pete the housekeeper always been sitting in the pavilion and drawing?" Ren Ran asked.

"No, Mr. Pete has painted in various places in the garden. He said that for paintings, different angles have completely different meanings. Just like this old castle, the scenery viewed from different windows is completely different. Have you seen that window, it is the NO.11 room on the second floor, from where you can see the garden, you can have a panoramic view, it is the best angle."

Mr. Jeff was in a very good mood today. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but mention his unparalleled craftsmanship again, and forced them to talk about the rewards and experiences he had received.

It took them an hour to finish listening to those boring glorious deeds. When walking towards the castle, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh: "These NPCs are simply amazing. I remember when I played games, I kept clicking on the mouse." , I don’t want to watch any conversations.”

"If you do this, you will miss important information, so we must clearly understand the meaning of their every sentence when we are on the scene, but I probably understand why players are asked to change rooms every day." Ren Ran said.

They went back to the castle, and Ren Ran walked to the kitchen that he hadn't been to before. Rose, the female cook, was preparing lunch, talking non-stop, and there was a male servant sitting on the chair next to her. Walter, with a plate in his hand, with some little donuts on it.

"Has the telephone line not been repaired yet? Walter." The tone of the female chef Rose was somewhat disdainful, as if she didn't expect him to be able to fix it.

"Hurry up, I ran into a little trouble, and it was almost repaired, but yesterday I was disturbed by two distinguished guests, causing me to make a wrong connection and collapse again." Walter's tone was nonchalant.

"It's a sad thing," Ross said.

She saw Ren Ran and the others from the corner of her eye, frowned, and turned her back to them and said, "Dear guests, please don't come into the kitchen at will, I will be guilty of a great crime if I dirty your clothes. "

"We are a little hungry and want to find something to eat." Chen Yu said hurriedly.

"That's it." Rose's expression eased, "It's still some time before lunch, I'll make you some sandwiches, please wait a moment."

"Walter, if you're done eating, you should hurry up and fix the phone line, don't get in the way here." Rose scowled, his face darkened.

"Okay, I'll go now, my God, I saw that pile of wires hurt too." Walter drew a cross on his chest.

"Mr. Walter, do you need my help?" Chen Yu said suddenly.

"You are a guest, how dare you trouble you." Walter bowed politely, and immediately turned 180 degrees, "Really? You can repair wires?"

"I'm an engineer." Chen Yu said.

"..." In Ren Ran's mind, there is a saying about MMP, I don't know if I should say it or not, such an important branch line, your reflex arc is simply amazing.

Although Walt didn't know what an engineer was, he still took Chen Yu out together, and he didn't forget to turn his head and say to Rose, "It's a beautiful day, Mrs. Rose, I hope there is something delicious for lunch."

Mrs. Ross took out the ham and said, "You are much better than those guests yesterday, who kept asking questions and overturned my plate.

"The steak you cook is really delicious, but I just want to ask if the main course of every meal is only steak?" Ren Ran asked.

"The ingredients here are all based on the earl's taste. He only eats medium-rare steak. I don't like it. It's too raw. If you want me to say that the taste of five-point steak is the best, what do you think, honorable sir. Rose smiled, she had already made a sandwich.

Ren Ran took it and did not forget to thank him. He saw the two steaks on the table and said, "Who are these?"

"It's for Mr. Pete, the housekeeper. He also likes medium-rare. God, these people have strange tastes. I'll send it to him later." Mrs. Ross said.

Ren Ran finished his sandwich, thanked him again, and went to find Chen Yu, only to see Chen Yu walking towards him in the corridor on the first floor.

He hurried over, showed Ren Ran the text message, and said, "I just received this."

It was a text message from the system, reminding him to start the side mission "Fix the damaged phone line".

"Have you fixed it?" Ren Ran asked.

"No, in the middle of the repair, I found that there was no Phillips screwdriver. Walt said that the toolbox in his room asked me to come and get it, and I received a second text message."

The second short message from the system reminded him to start the second side mission "The Secret of the Phillips Screwdriver".

"I don't understand what it means, and I dare not act rashly, so I came to ask you." Chen Yu said.

However, Ren Ran already understood what the so-called basement and unknown words in the encyclopedia meant.

"Go, go to Walter's room, I need you to watch out."

The servant's room is the same as the guest room on the second floor, the decoration is almost the same, there are oil paintings on the wall, but the area is relatively small, Chen Yu found that Ren Ran didn't mean to look for a Phillips screwdriver, so he kept walking around the room Walking around, he also knocked on the wall with his hand.

"What are you doing?" Chen Yu asked.

"Engineers, let's find the passage to the basement together." Ren Ran said.

Chen Yu was stunned for a while, and muttered, "How can you know so many things?" Then he joined the search ranks, and it was actually not difficult to find the task for which he was given the hint.

The underground passage is behind the door, and there is a very obvious hollow sound when knocked on it. Ren Ran asked him to watch the wind, and he turned on the flashlight and got in.

This is a narrow corridor, the more you go forward, the wider the road becomes, and soon you reach the end, it is a large open space, with the help of the light from your mobile phone, Ren Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the scene in front of him clearly .

In the large open space in front of him, there were ten coffins in total. The long hexagonal black lacquered coffins were solemn and solemn.Ren Ran felt that his psychological quality had been washed by the dungeon, and he was only slightly surprised, so he continued to use his brain to survive.

If the paintings in the studio start from 1570 and are made every 50 years, there should indeed be 2020 coffins by 10, which is quite the number.

And there is already 2020 paintings in the studio, although there is only one, does that mean that the successor of this family, that is, the owner of the castle, the Earl, is dead, so he should lie in the tenth coffin.

But when asked on the first day whether there was a basement in the castle, the butler Pete denied it and put the earl in the room like this, which violated the original intention of the facts in front of him.

Ren Ran made a difficult decision. He struggled to open the tenth coffin, which was empty.

Everything was exactly as he had speculated.

When Ren Ran crawled back into the room, Chen Yu was looking towards the hole, waving a screwdriver in his hand, and said, "You can figure it out, why are you still sweating profusely, I found the screwdriver."

"The lid of the coffin is so heavy, try pushing it alone."

Ren Ran's expression seemed to be only complaining about a candy jar that was extremely difficult to open, while Chen Yu was dumbfounded, with a toothache expression on his face.

In order to prevent his own logic from being unacceptable, he just went back to Walt silently, and within a minute he backed out silently.

"What's wrong? You didn't help Walt fix the wires?" Ren Ran asked.

"He saw that I had found a Phillips screwdriver and took it, saying he still had to fix it himself, and thanked me for my help by the way."

This result was expected. If Chen Yu was really asked to repair the wires, it would be equivalent to calling the police in the town to investigate, and there would be fatal errors and deviations in this copy.

The program of this system is quite complicated, and the NPC will flexibly respond to various actions and dialogues of the player.

Just like Chen Yu, participating players may not necessarily be able to repair wires. If there is no player like Chen Yu joining, this branch line will not be opened, let alone the double branch line, and players will not discover the secret of the basement .

So the timing of the basement is unknown.

"The branch line is completed, and I have received the reward."

In the next second, Chen Yu was on the spot and said dryly: "I took the most useless title, and I haven't found a place where I can exchange the title. It's terrible."

"What title did you get?" Ren Ran asked.

"A pendant of self-cultivation."
