Chapter 59: keep your eyes open 2
"What's up?"
Lin You regained her senses and looked at Qu Zile opposite. She raised the sign slightly, and then, as if remembering something, put it into her space again.
"Is this, on this signature, true?" Lin You said seriously.
"I'm not the strongest, I'm not the smartest, and I'm not the luckiest, but I survived, and my companions are all dead." Qu Zile tapped the table with his knuckles.
"Do you know why?"
"This sign?" Lin You answered the obvious answer.
"Yes!" Qu Zile nodded. When he was in the second game, he encountered a copy called Difficulty in Marriage. It was about a young lady in the town. Three fiancées died within a year. Everyone said that the young lady had a hard life. But it's not like that...
That house signed a contract with the monsters in the mountains, and did not do what they promised others. I can only use my daughter to pay off the debt, and I have a marriage contract with a monster, so how can I marry someone?
Therefore, the young lady's fiance was eroded to death by the demonic energy. There are many poor people in this story, and the final ending is not good...but Quzile is very lucky.
He received a side quest, saying that there is a Yuelao Temple in the town, and the marriage is very good. The young lady has a bad marriage, and the music is long and beautiful, so the young lady asked him to help her go to the Yuelao Temple to ask about the marriage. .
With this question, Qu Zile almost died on the road. He was too close to that young lady, so he was naturally targeted by monsters. Fortunately, he ran fast and smart enough to enter the Yue Lao Temple at the last second and was protected by this temple.
As for the matchmaker of Yuelao Temple (a marriage), seeing him so pitiful and so infatuated (??), Qu Zile can also speak eloquently, Hongniang couldn't bear it, so she gave him the fortune-teller that had been used for many years under the statue of Yuelao, hoping Can save his life.
Of course, this lottery is not endless, it can only count seventy-seven forty-nine hexagrams, and one copy is only one time. Although limited, it can be regarded as a life-saving artifact.
It can let you know, in this dungeon, according to the current state and this trend, at which point you will die.
If Qu Zile didn't think he couldn't survive the forty-nine levels, he wouldn't be too lazy to sell such a thing. But now Lin You is a single player with no companions, isn't he? so is he
Lin You has good potential and has a good personality. Most importantly, Qu Zile really likes Lin You. When a companion, the music is happy (happy), strong (happy), and acceptable (happy) with (happy).
As Lin You listened to Qu Zile talk about the function of the sign, she thought about the hints on the sign.
companion? companion!
For a large range, all players can be counted in the companion's range. And the small range is almost none. Lin You has no company, but...Lin You looked at Qu Zile, this guy is the person who has the best relationship with him, so... no, no, Lin You shook his head.
Don't think so, there is another possibility. Lin You turned his attention to the table farthest from him, where the Yuan family of three was.
Is it them? In comparison, Lin You was more suspicious of them.
"Hello, would you like to order food?"
The waiter's words interrupted Lin You's thoughts. At the same time, the players who were seated had already started to eat. Lin You's table was clean, and Lin You smiled embarrassedly at the waiter.
"Well, pasta will do." Lin You looked around and found that the NPCs were eating **** steaks, frowning slightly, "I'm a vegetarian, please pay attention."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The opposite Qu Zile asked for the same food. Seeing that they had nothing else to instruct the waiter, he left.
"Hey, hey!" Qu Zi was puzzled. "Why do you only order these? You don't need any money, you have to eat to your fullest."
Lin You waved his hand to stop him and spoke calmly.
"I've been plotted against food, so I don't dare."
Qu Zile smiled with a look of such a big deal. When the pasta was served, Qu Zile took out a silver needle that Lin You was very familiar with, and inserted it into two plates of pasta.
"Look, brother will give you a drug test." Qu Zile was a little smug.
"Wait." Lin You swallowed, "Here, have I seen this silver needle?"
"How can it be! Quzi Le's words got stuck, and he reacted immediately. "It's not that one, it's the other one that examined the old lady's body, really."
Lin You looked at Qu Zile's sincere expression, hesitated for a while, but still believed him. The pasta is indeed much better than the compressed biscuits prepared by the space grid, but Lin You still hasn't finished it. She always felt that the familiar needle made her uncomfortable.
Qu Zile picked up the napkin on one side, wiped the silver needle clean, and put it back in the space. He lowered his head, hiding the guilt in his eyes.
There are so many good things for drug testing, it must be used repeatedly. Qu Zile licked his mouth to make himself more assertive. Anyway, when he returned to reality, he had already been disinfected with alcohol and boiled in boiling water. It was absolutely clean and free of bacteria!
Soon, the NPC who finished eating first left. And some players also left the restaurant one after another in a group.
Lin You and the others were almost the last wave of people, but at this moment, a scream sounded. It broke the silence of the whole hotel.
"Ahhhh"
A girl fell down on the stairs and pointed to the painting hanging in the center of the second floor. She was the only girl besides Lin You and Luo Qing. The painting she was referring to was a portrait of a beautiful young man. The male player Lin You had met before was pulling the frame with both hands, and leaned in obsessively. The knight armor standing on both sides of the beautiful boy seemed to be alive, he picked up the sword and chopped off his head.
The blood splashed on the portrait, and the young man's appearance became strange and strange through the blood.
When Lin You came out, what he saw was the scene where the two knight armors dropped the headless male corpse.
Blood trickled down the stairs from the second floor, dyeing the champagne-colored clothes of the female player who fell on the stairs into blood red.
"This lady!" The housekeeper who had been watching this scene frantically suddenly said sharply, "Your skirt is dirty, hurry up, go back and change it."
"It's so rude, it's so rude"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and replace it for the guests!"
Hearing the housekeeper's words, the pair of sisters sitting at the front desk moved. The two of them helped the player who fell on the stairs one by one, and then took it to a room on the second floor forcibly.
The girl's panicked voice came, and she was desperately struggling and begging for mercy. But one of her companions is dead, and the other...
Lin You looked at the man hiding in the crowd, and then slowly returned to the restaurant. Except for the rookie and semi-rookie players, whose expressions were frightened, the expressions of other players were solemn.
Many players are the first to encounter a dungeon that is shot against the player on the first day.
Soon the girl was carried down by the twins in maid outfits. She was put on a beautiful pink dress, and she was thrown on the sofa in the hall panting. The whole person is like the rest of his life, and his body is still shaking slightly.
Many players looked at the female player with envy, and it was a stroke of luck that she still didn't die.
"The housekeeper is amazing."
"Yeah, we admire this ability to adapt to changes."
"As expected of a person who can be a housekeeper, he is attentive and thoughtful. If we are seen as indecent, we might as well die."
"That's right, now this young lady doesn't have to apologize for her death. I really should thank the housekeeper."
... the voices are heard one after another. The butler who was praised heard that he just bowed. Humblely speak:
"Where, you adults are wrong."
Watching NPCs come and go, most players shuddered. The blood and corpse of the dead player were soon called by the housekeeper to clean up the servants.
"Don't be sad." The housekeeper took out a snow-white handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on the trembling female player's face. "He just went to accompany him, and we are still carrying unclean and dirty clothes. The body remains in the world."
"So... death is not a bad thing, and living is not a good thing."
After he said this, all the NPCs lowered their heads, made a gesture, and then dispersed. The maid twins, whose skirts were stained with blood, remained at the front desk.
Seeing that the NPCs had all left, the other players quickly helped the female player up again. The one who supported the female player at the beginning was one of the two teams who had quarreled before, but now they looked at each other and chose to remain silent. .
The female player was originally a team of three, but one of her companions died and the other was very cowardly, so she could only let the other players play with it.
The other players took her back to the restaurant again, closed the door, and the man in the black cloak didn't speak. And the brother Ren in the wind drive spoke up:
"How did he die?"
Straight to the point, the female player shook her head and spoke slowly.
"I don't know, but I saw the painting on the wall move, it, it looked... woo"
"Didn't it see you?" Brother Ren asked again.
"No, its target wasn't me at the time. But, I thought it was so beautiful at the time"
The female player's eyes were blank for a moment.
Yes, that picture, that person is so beautiful... Why, why doesn't he see himself?
