05.

The only hand in the ancient clock is pointing completely upward.

Dang——dang——dang——

The reverberating bells came from nowhere and echoed throughout the castle.

"It's dark, please close your eyes!" Mu Su yelled at the top of his lungs, and then he saw a thick fog sweeping up from the wall behind him, covering everyone in it in the blink of an eye.

The fog was so dense that you couldn't even see the palms in front of you clearly, and it seemed that even the sound was blocked. Each person was opened independently, and all they could hear was their own rapid breathing.

In this dead silence, all the players heard a creaking sound coming from outside the door and thought about it.

Something opened the door.

Something has come in.

Ta-ta-ta-

The sound of footsteps that shouldn't have existed is now loud and clear, echoing slowly and approaching slowly.

The players panicked and prayed that the ghost would not find them.

The saury shrank its shoulders and stooped its body, trying its best to look inconspicuous.

Even though he knew that the opposite person was playing the role of a player, he still couldn't help but feel panicked in such an atmosphere.

Ta-ta-ta-

The sound of footsteps approaching became clearer, and at the same time, some chaotic sounds poured into the players' ears.

There seemed to be a woman crying in the background, moving things around, trying to stop something outside the door from coming in. Soon the other sounds disappeared, leaving only the woman's whimpering and murmuring.

Ta-ta-ta-

"It's coming!" the woman exclaimed.

The hair on the saury's body exploded, and he could barely control himself and ran away. At this moment, his vision dimmed instantly and he lost consciousness.

Am I dead?

Saury was startled, but in an instant he regained consciousness.

He raised his head, the setting sun outside the window was like blood, and he had a severe headache. Others also rubbed their heads and raised their heads, just like at the beginning of the game.

"The quality of the newcomers this time is good." Mu Su said with a chuckle.

The players looked at each other, and then looked at the only figure that did not move.

Sitting next to him, Yi Ru stretched out his hand to stir the smoke, and a lifeless face was revealed to everyone. He was already dead.

[Player-Lang Yan-has died]

[Player? (Ghost) killed the player-Langyan]

After the death is confirmed, a death record pops up.

In an instant, Mu Su seemed to transform into a black panther, rushing to Lang Yan with an afterimage, holding him and shouting: "Cure Lang Yan! All reward points will be deducted from me!"

The latter, of course, remained motionless.

"Damn it, it's too late!" Mu Su blamed himself and covered his chest sadly.

The players ignored Mu Su's neurotic behavior. Saury pursed his lips and suddenly asked him: "I remember ten minutes ago you prayed to the ghost to kill Lang Yan."

"Maybe someone framed Mu Su." The fox's red lips parted slightly. "Don't forget that all of us heard that sentence, including that ghost."

"Maybe it was done on purpose? Because it was too obvious, no one would suspect it, but in fact it was him who killed the person."

"There will never be an end to this suspicion..." Yi Ru scratched his cheek: "My opinion is that for a ghost, he is too cheerful. Compared with this, I believe that there is one hidden among us who is trying his best to reduce

A player with a sense of his own presence.”

When he said this, he lightly passed over the transparent bridge. She said very few words after entering the game.

Is she hiding something...

Wangchuan opened her lips slightly to say something, and suddenly noticed that the long table trembled. She looked at the source, and Mu Su, who was above him, put his legs on the table, holding a pipe in his mouth and said indifferently: "Why don't you just follow the ghost's appearance?

Should we continue to look for clues, instead of making meaningless guesses here?"

All the players looked sideways.

"The sound of crisp footsteps and the sound of moving debris. These two clues are enough for us to narrow the scope to a certain extent."

"You mean..." Saury's tone suddenly came to mind, and he thought of a possibility.

"The sound came from a room with no carpet and signs of movement." Yi Ru couldn't hold back the surprise in his voice when he took the conversation: "How did you think of this?"

After all, Mu Su doesn't look like someone who can play games with his brain.

Musu shook his leather shoes: "Because my feet were off the ground, the virus was shut down, and my clever IQ took over the high ground again."

Their eyes changed focus and landed on the ancient clock behind Mu Su.

There are still 57 minutes until the next ghost appears.

The fox stood up and showed his graceful figure: "Well, everyone, we will separate according to the previous team and meet here in ten minutes. This castle is not big, I think ten minutes is enough for us to find the location."

No one had any objections, so we explored the castle again.

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered in the hall. Wangchuan's team brought good news. They found the location.

It was a utility room, located roughly near the back garden of the castle. Nothing could be seen from the corridor windows except the lush weeds outside.

When the group rushed to the corridor outside the utility room, they also understood why there was no carpet here.

This corridor shows the traces of being burned by fire. Black traces are all over the wall. A few wallpapers are stuck on it like scars.

Saury squatted down to look at the fracture of the carpet. The down was curled into black particles, and the fracture was very irregular, as if it were on fire.

The utility room door ten meters away was open.

Wangchuan said with some embarrassment: "We opened the door, checked and left. The scene inside... the two of us were a little scared."

Wangchuan described the room as having particularly serious burn marks. There was a coffin standing inside, which seemed to be embedded in the wall. They quickly left this depressing area without daring to confirm whether the coffin was empty.

They stepped onto the charred ground. The saury deliberately made footsteps. The sound was not as clear as when the ghost appeared, but it was very close.

Nowadays, there are so many people that it is difficult to develop fear. Entering the utility room, they saw the coffin Wangchuan had described.

An ordinary wooden coffin.

They subconsciously held their breath for fear of disturbing something.

"Open it and take a look?" He asked softly as before.

"Open it and take a look." Saury gritted his teeth and stepped forward to pull the coffin lid.

The coffin lid was not fixed, and was pulled open by the saury, revealing the inside of the coffin. The horrific scene as imagined did not appear, and it was empty inside.

"What to do next?" someone asked. Then the players subconsciously looked at Mu Su.

Mu Su got a cherry from somewhere, held it with his tongue in disgust, and then squirmed back and forth. Hearing everyone's gaze, he quickly picked it up and looked back warily, saying vaguely: "What are you doing?"

"What to do next?"

"My feet are on the ground, and the virus has taken over the high ground again."

"You can think while dancing." Transparent Bridge said with a joking tone.

"Tsk."

Mu Su jumped on the spot several times with eyes wide open.

"Put Lang Yan's body into the coffin."

After saying that, he started playing with the cherry with his tongue again.

"What kind of trick is this???" He was just as dumbfounded as before.

"But it's true... I still remember whether the first update or the second update added an article, the player's body will be blurred and refreshed."

Qiu Saury recalled the memory in his mind: "Lang Yan's body has not been refreshed, maybe it is not just there to enhance the atmosphere."
