When things go wrong, there must be monsters. This sentence can be said to be Liu Xing's biggest gain after entering the Cthulhu Running Team game hall, and Liu Xing has always regarded this sentence as his creed.
So what kind of secrets are hidden in this quiet castle?
Liu Xing feels that the mythical creatures hidden in this special module should appear.
"Everyone, please be careful. The weeds over the housing area are really too lush. There might be snakes hidden in them." Liu Xing said in a low voice, "I think there should be no snake venom serum in this mirage.
So if we encounter a venomous snake, we will be in trouble."
Li Hanxing chuckled, raised the spear in his hand and said, "Then let me take the lead. I promise to let you know what it means to alert the enemy."
With that said, Li Hanxing took the lead in charging.
Liu Xing and the others shook their heads and had no choice but to follow Li Hanxing... Of course, Alice was still riding on a horse, because Liu Xing and others were worried that there would be "horse thieves" here.
It would be very uncomfortable for infantry to fight cavalry...
It is true to say that it is possible to scare away the grass and scare the snake.
Li Hanxing just casually pulled the grass a few times with his spear, and Liu Xing saw several colorful long snakes that were frightened and fled in all directions. Logically speaking, snakes with such bright colors should be poisonous.
In addition to snakes, Liu Xing also saw a few rats running around in the grass. It was truly a nest of snakes and rats.
But when he saw the mouse, Liu Xing subconsciously thought of the human-faced mouse.
To be honest, the atmosphere between the human-faced mouse and the abandoned castle is pretty good.
"It seems that this castle has been abandoned for a long time. It has become a paradise for wild animals. I think even if there is anything left in these houses before, it should have been eaten by these rats now."
The biting is almost done." Alice said.
Liu Xing nodded and said helplessly: "That should be the case. It seems that we can only dig for gold in the sand. If we don't gain anything, just think of it as passing the time. After all, we don't know now.
Are the people in the main castle members of the public faction?"
As they talked, Liu Xing and others came to the first wooden house.
This wooden house seems to occupy a large area, and has many windows, so Liu Xing and others can clearly see that there are many single wooden beds in this wooden house, with quilts and pillows on the beds, but these quilts
The pillows all looked tattered, and some of the quilts and pillows had mushrooms growing on them.
"There's something wrong. Alice, didn't you say that the previous owner of this castle was forced to give up the castle because of his family's decline? But judging from the situation in this wooden house, the people here are more like a sudden
We left the castle together without even taking our own bedding with us." Sun Huiwen said a little doubtfully.
Liu Xing thought for a while, nodded and said: "Sun Huiwen is right. If I remember correctly, when people in ancient times traveled far away or went to work in other places, they basically brought their own bedding, because most inns and host homes were different.
Bedding will be provided, so bedding was considered a personal belonging in ancient times. When the original employees in this castle were dismissed, they would not leave their personal belongings here, unless they were in a hurry to leave.
He was kicked out of the castle directly by others."
At this time, Alice also looked confused, shook her head and said: "According to Zum and the others, the original owner of this castle disappeared because the previous head of the family accidentally fell into the river, and was deemed dead after being missing for ten years.
Moreover, the knighthood medal also disappeared with that person, so the family was deprived of the knighthood. Naturally, they could not maintain the castle, so the family voluntarily gave up the castle, and because there was no one in the castle
He was willing to take over but was restricted, and then directly rewarded it to Duke Gundogan; if this is the case, then the situation in this wooden house is indeed a bit strange, but there is still a possibility that it can be explained, that is, it is idle in the castle
Later, a group of people occupied the magpie's nest."
"Then let's go in and take a look first."
As Li Hanxing spoke, he pushed open the wooden door.
As soon as the wooden door was opened, Liu Xing and others could smell an indescribable odor, including the smell of moldy wood and other items, as well as the smell of animal excrement.
In addition, Liu Xing seemed to smell a strange floral fragrance.
This kind of floral fragrance seems to be present or not, and it makes other odors even more difficult to enter the nose.
"This shouldn't be the case. This wooden house has so many windows for ventilation and sunlight. Logically speaking, the room shouldn't be so smelly. And the most important thing is that we didn't smell such a smell outside the house just now.
It smells bad." Li Hanxing said, covering his nose.
Hearing what Li Hanxing said, Liu Xing, who was walking at the end, subconsciously exited the room. As a result, he found that the pervasive stench that was still surrounding him suddenly became much lighter.
Liu Xing took another step forward, um, there was an internal smell.
Alice, who was still riding on her horse and helping Liu Xing and others look out, looked at Liu Xing strangely, wondering what Liu Xing was doing by jumping sideways repeatedly at the door.
Before Alice could ask, Liu Xing said with certainty: "There may be something wrong with this wooden house. I basically can't smell the smell outside the door, but I can smell a very obvious smell just after entering the door.
It's like there is an invisible barrier at the door, blocking the odor inside the room."
After hearing what Liu Xing said, Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen also came out and tried it, and found that it was really like this.
"It's interesting. This shouldn't be a natural formation, so I think someone must have done it on purpose, but what is his purpose for doing this? Or is there something in this wooden house?" Li
Han Xing touched his chin and said, "Forget it, let's go in and search. Alice, please help us watch outside. If you find anything strange, let us know as soon as possible, and we will leave this room as soon as possible."
At the same time, Sun Huiwen took out a pack of masks and gloves from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
After putting on their masks, Liu Xing and the others entered the wooden house again and began to search the wooden house.
Judging from the furnishings in the wooden house, this should indeed be a dormitory, with about twenty people living there, so in addition to the single wooden beds, there are several tables lined up in a row.
On top were crudely made wooden and bamboo cups, as well as several open bottles of wine.
etc!
Liu Xing took a closer look and found that the wines were all in glass bottles.
Although the invention of glass can be traced back a long time ago, the emergence of glass bottles had to wait until the invention and perfection of the glass blowing process, so it was impossible for glass bottles to appear in the Middle Ages.
Liu Xing quickly stepped forward, picked up a bottle and looked at it.
Although there was no label on the bottle, Liu Xing found the production date and batch information on the bottom of the bottle.
Obviously, these wine bottles were probably brought in from Restaurant No. 5.
Liu Xing quickly told Li Hanxing and others about this discovery.
"This is indeed the most difficult mirage. I didn't expect that there would be so many different main tasks, or task storylines." Li Hanxing said seriously: "If nothing else, some outsiders may have been assigned before.
When they arrived at this castle, the task they needed to complete should be to help the original owner of this castle recover the knighthood medal, but unfortunately they should have failed."
Sun Huiwen on the side shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true. I think there used to be a group of thieves in the timeline before this mirage. When these guys saw that there was no one in this castle, they occupied the magpie's nest and took over the place.
It was used as their temporary base, and these bottles were probably snatched from the hands of some outsiders. After all, this was still the Middle Ages, and bottles like this still look very precious."
Looking at Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen, who were a little unconvinced by each other, Liu Xing shook his head and said: "In any case, this place should be related to the outsiders who entered this mirage before us, and these outsiders are all from modern times.
The important thing is that the people who once lived here should have suddenly disappeared due to special reasons, or escaped, so we have to continue searching and find enough evidence to prove our guess."
After Liu Xing finished speaking, he continued to inspect other parts of the wooden house.
It didn't take long for Liu Xing to make another small discovery, that is, on the wall next to a single wooden bed, someone had carved three "正" characters on it using the "正" character counting method.
.
"Fifteen days? This group of players stayed here for fifteen days?"
Liu Xing touched his chin and decided to tell Li Hanxing about this matter after finding some other developments, because nothing could be inferred from just these three "positive" words.
After searching around like this, Liu Xing focused on the quilts on the bed.
To be honest, Liu Xing really didn't want to look through these quilts that were almost becoming indescribable, but Liu Xing's subconscious kept urging Liu Xing to open these quilts, because there were real clues hidden in these quilts.
Therefore, Liu Xing could only take a deep breath... but he almost choked because he was wearing a mask.
When Liu Xing opened the quilt closest to him, he discovered a broken electronic watch, and the position of the electronic watch was exactly where a person's left hand would be when lying down.
Seeing this situation, a picture appeared in Liu Xing's mind - a man wearing an electronic watch was lying on the bed and resting. As a result, he suddenly disappeared, leaving only the electronic watch still on the bed.
But why is there only one electronic watch left? Does this person like to be free when sleeping and not be bound by any external objects?
While Liu Xing was thinking, he opened another quilt next to him and found an identical electronic watch. The position of this electronic watch was on the right hand of the person when he was lying down.
Could it be that this is a couple's electronic watch, so the couple wears it as the man on the left and the woman on the right?
But judging from the design of this electronic watch, it doesn’t look like a couple’s watch? Moreover, these two electronic watches do not look like any trace of design. They are just a dial with a few function buttons next to it.
Just when Liu Xing was thinking about the connection between the two electronic watches, Li Hanxing on the side also opened the quilt next to him.
"Huh? Liu Xing, come here. I also found a watch here."
Hearing what Li Hanxing said, Liu Xing immediately walked over and found that the electronic watch in Li Hanxing's hand was exactly the same as the two electronic watches he found.
Liu Xing thought for a while and immediately opened another quilt. It turned out that there was also an electronic watch under this quilt.
At this time, Sun Huiwen also came over with an electronic watch, frowned and said: "First of all, let's eliminate a wrong option - this group of outsiders who entered Mirage purchased a batch of electronic watches, and when they came in,
Put it on."
"This should be impossible, because the production times recorded on the bottom of those wine bottles are all after 2012, so this kind of electronic watch is minimalist and retro style at best, but it is an electronic watch without any sense of design at worst.
It is difficult to have a market during this period, let alone being able to trick so many people into bringing it together; I think this should be a timer issued by Mirage to outsiders, or a task release device, so these people are doing it for some reason.
When the cause disappears, these electronic watches, no, this electronic product is here to stay.”
"It seems that this mirage is a bit fancy. It has prepared so many completely different game modes. This is a bit different from other mirages." Li Hanxing frowned.
Liu Xing thought for a while, sighed and said: "Let's collect all the electronic watches first, and then we will check together to see if these electronic watches can still be used normally, but these electronic watches can be regarded as proof.
A group of outsiders like us once lived here."
As a result, Liu Xing and the others continued to lift the quilt, and sure enough, they found an electronic watch on every single wooden bed... except for the single wooden bed that Liu Xing had previously found with three characters "正" carved on the wall next to it.
.
Liu Xing called Li Hanxing and Sun Huiwen over again, "If nothing else happens, this person should be the last lucky one among this group of outsiders, but now I'm a little confused about these three real people.
What does the word 'stand for'? It seems that it probably means fifteen days, but I always feel that this matter is not that simple. Maybe these three 'positive' words represent other meanings."
