Half an hour passed, and there was still no movement upstairs.
Cang Xi was too lazy to waste any more time. He stood up, stretched, patted the hem of his coat and left.
"Hey, why are you going?" Zhang Zi shouted when he saw Cang Xi was about to leave the hall.
"Sleep." Cang Fu said and yawned in cooperation.
Han Yang simply sighed, "Eating or sleeping, do you think you are here to travel?"
"Besides eating, drinking, playing and sleeping, do the rich second generation have any other entertainment?" Cang Xiu glanced at him and asked.
You have to protect your own life. What if the system requires players to act according to their own identities?
Besides, in addition to the eldest young master, there are eleven NPCs in Zhuangzi. God knows if there are any problems with those people.
The period between midnight and one o'clock should be the real dangerous period. This is a clue given by the housekeeper himself.
Gee, I don’t know if those old players have noticed it.
Cang Fu was thinking about the mission of the dungeon, yawning and heading straight to the dormitory.
"Fuck, that newcomer is really ignorant." Brother Wang was so angry that he kicked down the chair next to him.
Sister Li glanced at him sideways and said to Wen Han, "I'll find a way to go upstairs and take a look. You can take the newcomers to check Zhuangzi at night."
Wen Han thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement, "Sister Li, be careful."
Wen Han arranged for two people to work together to search for clues. He took Han Yang, Ruan Rong and Su Chengwei to work together, and Li Wen and Wang Xu worked together.
Zhang Zi and Ye Chen refused on the grounds of accompanying Brother Wang, so they almost had the word "little brother" written on their faces.
Sister Li dressed up as a maid. As soon as she stepped onto the second floor, she saw the young housekeeper suddenly appear at the stairs of the second floor.
Sister Li found an excuse for herself, "Mr. Housekeeper, I didn't see my aunt come up to clean during the day, so I wanted to help."
The housekeeper looked at her coldly and warned, "Come to the second floor without permission. Do you want to be fired?"
It reads as dismissal, but it actually warns the player that being dismissed represents a signal of death.
"Sorry to bother you, I'll be down right away." Sister Li immediately turned around and went downstairs.
It’s not like she’s a stubborn person, how could she confront the NPC head-on on the first day? Isn’t that looking for death?
Sister Li found Wen Han in the backyard and invited him to the second floor, "Do you dare to take the risk?"
There are the most clues on the first day, because the danger level of the dungeon is very low at the beginning, and the difficulty will only gradually increase over time.
The key point mentioned by the npc is "you are not allowed to go upstairs", and the second floor is definitely the key point.
Cang Li was about to open his eyes when two black shadows suddenly flashed outside the window, causing him to immediately open his eyes and squint over them cautiously.
"Sister Li, does my prop work well?" Wen Han's voice came in.
Sister Li paused for a while and responded to him in a mosquito-like buzzing voice, "Not bad. I'll avoid meeting the housekeeper. I'll make gestures to communicate later."
Wen Han said he understood, and the two stopped talking.
In order to guard against sneak attacks by strange beasts, Cang Fu had practiced auditory perception before, so even the buzzing of mosquitoes could not escape his ears.
Knowing that the two of them climbed up the wall from the window to go to the second floor, he thought about the trouble at night and directly suppressed his brimming curiosity.
Sister Li and Wen Han didn't know that their actions had been discovered. When they arrived at the window on the second floor, they encountered their first problem.
The window was locked from the inside.
The two of them wore white gloves stained on the wall and hung them on both sides of the window, thinking about whether to use props to open the window.
Suddenly, he saw a strange black shadow appear from the corner, and the two of them moved down quickly in tacit understanding.
As soon as they landed back on the ground, they saw the figures of the two bodyguards walking past the window side by side, and not long after they turned back from the other end of the corridor.
Unable to continue testing, the two of them agreed on the same idea.
Sister Li clicked her tongue, "It seems we can only wait for the Lone Ranger to come back."
"This is the only way." Wen Han also sighed regretfully.
The players gathered in the hall again. Except for Cang Xi who went to bed and the Lone Ranger who was picked up, the remaining ten people were all there.
Wen Han lowered his voice and analyzed with a group of people, "The copy is called a ghost with a shadow. Ghosts should be related to shadows."
He pointed to the ground and said, "Look at your feet. We don't have any shadows now. Whoever has a shadow will be a ghost."
"Ghosts who want to kill people have to follow the rules of the system. We should pay more attention to ourselves. If there are no shadows, you don't have to be afraid."
Wen Han went over the details with the new couple, "That's all my opinion. Where's Sister Li?"
Sister Li gave him a look and was too lazy to speak. She waved her hand for him to continue his analysis.
"I heard that ghosts are afraid of talismans." Su Chengwei suddenly whispered.
"Some ghosts and monsters are immune to talismans." Wen Han sighed and shook his head. "There are not many props like talismans, and they are very expensive."
Zhang Zi suddenly asked, "Why doesn't that man in black come down yet?"
He hissed, "Is something wrong?"
"It's only the first day of the dungeon, so people shouldn't die so quickly, right?" Ye Chen said so hard that he didn't even believe it.
Sister Li raised her hand to look at her watch and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock. Let's go back to the dormitory first."
Brother Wang nodded in agreement, scaring a group of newcomers, "The NPC is warning, I advise you to be obedient and live longer."
At the door of the dormitory, Wen Han told the two high school students led by Han Yang, "If you hear a knock on the door at night, don't open the door."
After the players dispersed, the lights in the hall suddenly dimmed.
The surrounding walls turned into a black abyss, and the figure of the young butler emerged from the wall.
His face slowly transformed into another appearance, with horrific corpse spots clearly visible on his face, neck, and even hands.
A brand new ax appeared out of thin air in the steward's hand, and a hoarse and magnetic voice came out of his mouth that did not belong to his original voice.
"Tsk, it's really troublesome to have to rely on this method to enter the dungeon patch."
If an acquaintance is present, they will definitely be recognized by their voice. The butler NPC is actually at the top of the global player list.
He is a representative figure in the escape game. He is nicknamed "The Combat Power Ceiling" and is a level 99 god-level player - Ji Yu.
Because his level is too high, Ji Yu cannot enter a dungeon below level S as a player, otherwise the dungeon space will easily collapse.
The young housekeeper NPC in front is the body teacher copied by Ji Yu using props, and is a stand-in that simulates some of his behavioral habits.
When there is no dungeon suitable for him, Ji Yu will become a supervisor, helping the system deal with loopholes and patching the dungeon world.
If he enters the dungeon as an NPC, he will not be excluded, his behavior will be restricted, and he can only act according to the actions of the NPC.
The supervisor cannot interfere with players' access to the dungeon. He can occasionally remind them and help analyze and complete tasks, and the system will make additional adjustments.
If it is because of Ji Yu's combat power, the copy level will be adjusted to S level.
Not to mention the newcomers, even the advanced players will have to be included in this copy.
"Next, which lamb should I choose to be slaughtered? It's really exciting."
A meaningful smile appeared on Ji Yu's lips, and he walked towards the dormitory with the tiger's head on his shoulders.
