Raymond looked at where the fat man was sitting with an expressionless expression. Although his eyes were still open and staring straight ahead, his pupils were dilated and he was obviously lifeless.
After confirming that the fat man was dead, he was no longer surprised and muttered: "I didn't expect him to be the first to die... [The Conjurer] should be very strong..."
"But, then again...how did he die?"
Thinking of this question, Raymond frowned.
Could it be that he failed to participate in the game of "master" of the castle as required and was killed?
Or maybe he participated and died for some reason?
Could it be that the fantasy scene dies, and then the reality also dies?
Raymond squinted and thought for a while, and came up with several possibilities. However, there was not enough information to analyze, and he could not yet determine the real cause of the fat man's death.
However, he knew that this guy was the first to die, but not the last.
[Ding! If you find an unknown soul, do you want to use the ‘soul stripping’ skill? 】
【yes!】
When Raymond heard the system prompt, he was happy,
Are there any hidden benefits?
He didn't hesitate at all and just said yes.
[Ding! You have acquired an obsession from Felgo...'Is the most delicious thing in the world really dragon meat...']
"What the hell..."
Raymond's face twitched. He saw an extra set of information appearing in the dialogue in his mind, and his face twitched.
What kind of barren skills can you strip out this thing?
He was just about to complain, but at this moment something happened again.
In the blink of an eye, he saw the seven items on the table suddenly flashing with green fluorescence, like a lottery draw in a slot machine. The light wheel rotated several times, and finally stopped on the ghost mask.
"Crack!"
The glass cover is broken.
"This is... a reward for completing the level?"
Raymond probably guessed something in his mind.
He tried it and actually picked up the mask on the table.
【Mendro's Cursed Mask】
Mental strength 15
Mental spell damage 4%
Comes with special effects:
[Isolation] Prevent mental power exploration no higher than 150%-210% of your own strength;
[Release] Mental control skill immunity 10%;
[Concentration] Increase mental power growth by 10% during meditation;
[Divine Blessing] With it, you can get the blessing of a specific god;
Detailed explanation: The ancestral mask of the Mendello family, a cursed family, is rumored to be a mask worn by ancient priests when worshiping gods;
"It is indeed this plot item!"
Raymond's eyes were filled with joy.
Equipment such as masks are inherently scarce resources in the game. The famous "Medro Mask" is also a rare prop that many players covet. Unfortunately, this is a mission-critical plot prop in the game, and players have no other way to obtain it.
.
"I remember that the Gao Wan who got this prop seemed to have obtained the inheritance of a certain god through this plot mission, and seemed to have gained some special ability? Counting the time, that ruins should be around soon..."
Raymond thought about it briefly, but he couldn't remember it clearly.
Although this prop in the game is unique, the term "Mendello Family" has been mentioned in many missions. This is an ancient family that existed during the Knicks civilization, and the mission levels involving them are not low.
, the rewards are also very impressive.
"The special effects it comes with are really awesome... This mask and that 'shadow cloak' are not a perfect match! One isolates the breath detection, and the other isolates the spirit detection..."
Raymond felt that the direction of his equipment seemed to be getting more and more obscene. Was he destined to follow the path of a desperate person?
If these two pieces of equipment were obtained by thieves, they would be nothing short of magical artifacts.
"Eh... that's not right! Those people haven't come back yet. They should still be trapped in the illusion. If they come out and see that one thing is missing, they will definitely doubt me..."
Raymond just realized something was wrong,
But before he had time to hide, he saw a graceful long leg slowly stepping out of the darkness at the door. Looking closer, he saw that it was the enchanting countess.
Mary saw Raymond present, and for some reason, a touch of relief flashed in her crystal eyes.
She walked over with a smile and said: "Hey~ handsome boy, you really hide your secrets... and you were the first to come out?"
"Huh..." she said, and naturally saw the dead fat man and the broken glass covers on the table.
Mary blinked and asked, "Did you kill this fat man?"
"no!"
Raymond shook his head, but he was still very alert.
Just now, no one died, and the treasure could not be obtained, so everyone might still be wary of testing. But now that this is the beginning, the relationship becomes more subtle. If you are not careful, you will end up killing people and seizing the treasure.
"Keke... don't be so nervous..."
Mary's eyes were as charming as silk, and her speech was very direct. She said sweetly: "Little handsome boy, if my sister really wants to kill you... she will at least make you happy first, and I guarantee that you will feel that you will not suffer any loss afterwards...
"
"This woman...has such a high hidden charm?" Raymond had no expression on his face. Hearing this tingling voice, the guard in his heart dropped unconsciously.
Because the extraordinary people in this world have all kinds of strange things, their abilities are also all kinds of strange. He remembered that there seemed to be some skills in the game that could temporarily reduce the hatred of others towards him, such as the "repentance" of the nanny profession.
Of course, the most direct one is a hidden attribute, "charm"!
There is no prompt from the system, so Mary has not used any skills on herself, which means that she has a high charm value attribute.
Before the two of them had time to talk more,
At this time,
Another guy with cautious eyes walked out of the darkness at the gate. This person was naturally the mercenary leader Moloch.
He saw a flash of strange color in the eyes of Raymond and the two men, and then looked at the dead fat man and the broken glass cover, also showing a bit of surprise.
He thought for a while and did not ask rashly. He was cautious and did not approach rashly. Instead, he found a place to sit at a relatively safe distance.
"This guy...doesn't he think that Mary and I worked together to kill this fat man?" Raymond looked at his unsuspecting look, obviously guessing something.
Mary didn't speak, so Raymond naturally wouldn't find her uncomfortable, and the three of them just quietly confronted each other.
Before long,
"Jack the Ripper", "Rogue Lolita" Lilith and "Pirate" Jadra also came out one after another.
Moloch was relieved to see these people again.
...
"Fergo was the fourth of us to go in... He is dead now, either in the illusion trial just now, or he was killed after coming out..."
Jack is a doctor. He carefully examined the body of the deceased and said: "There were no fatal injuries on the body, but the blood all over the body was drained by the strange chair behind him... Of course, this was not the direct cause of his death. If
If I guessed correctly, this guy should have died in the fantasy world, so there were no external injuries."
Everyone present is an extraordinary person who specializes in mental power. They naturally know this method of death and are very familiar with it.
"Since we each experienced a fantasy scene just now..."
"Then, I would boldly guess that those scenes were created by the personal experiences of those of us who are doing it..."
Moloch looked at everyone with unnatural expressions when they came out. He had obviously guessed something.
He said directly: "I just happened to experience such a scene. A man hacked to death seven of his companions just to swallow a few gold coins..."
As he said that, when he looked at the pirate Jedela again, his eyes carefully captured the changes in his expression, and he obviously wanted to confirm something.
Raymond on the side naturally knew the underlying meaning of this sentence.
What Moloch experienced should be the horrific scene of "Eight Children", which was the unbearable past of the pirate Jedela.
Let's say there are eight children and only seven gold coins and one knife. How should you divide the gold coins equally?
Many people would say that hacking a child to death is average.
But of course Jedela, a greedy guy, chose to hack the other seven children to death and swallow all the gold coins by himself.
Sure enough, when Jedla heard this, her eyes suddenly turned cold. The past events that she had hidden in her heart for so many years were revealed, which faintly stung a certain nerve.
He saw that everyone was looking at him with something wrong, snorted coldly, and quickly changed the conflict: "Haha... I also saw a certain lecherous guy who liked to rape and kill women and then disembowel them...
"
At this point, everyone obviously understood who he was talking about, and everyone else turned their attention to the doctor with dark circles under his eyes who was obviously overindulging in sex.
When Jack heard this, he was not ashamed, but proud, and said with a smile: "Oh...how many years ago are those things? I am more interested in corpses now, hahaha..."
After a pause, he looked at the charming Mary and said: "Tsk, tsk, I didn't realize that our beautiful Lady Mary is actually the famous 'Bloody Mary'... tsk, tsk, let me compare with you.
This little quirk is really nothing..."
The finger was pointed at Mary,
She smiled charmingly and said coldly: "Giggle... Ouch, you are so concerned about my past, is it possible that you still have thoughts about me?"
Jack flashed a hint of fear and snorted coldly: "If I have the chance, I really want to taste my wife..."
Mary: "Then it depends on whether you are strong enough?"
"..."
Raymond watched as these guys said something wrong and showed signs of taking action. He prayed in his heart that the fire would not burn on his own head.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the room began to become stronger again,
Moloch spoke again to ease the increasingly tense atmosphere in the room.
"I think everyone should stop arguing on this issue. Now is not the time to explore other people's privacy... If you don't want to be the next person to die and don't understand, you should think about how to deal with the current situation."
As soon as these words came out, everyone calmed down.
After all, there is a corpse staring directly at the table, always alerting them that this is a life-threatening game.
The six empty black iron chairs now revealed a different kind of terrifying connotation, as if... they were prepared for the six of them alive.
"These past events just now should be secrets that are not known to outsiders... Therefore, I guess that the illusions we have experienced with each other should have been created by ourselves!"
Moloch made a bold conjecture,
He continued his analysis: "The hagfish we just ate not only increased our mental perception, it also amplified our inner fears. Then, due to the influence of some special mechanisms in this castle, we experienced those fears in our hearts.
The fantasy scene has just changed..."
"I speculate that the seven of us have experienced seven different hallucinations respectively. If we want to finally determine the cause of Felgo's death, we must rule out what he experienced one by one."
Everyone recognized this and nodded slightly.
Moloch asked Mary directly: "May I ask, Mrs. Mary, what illusion did you just experience?"
"A greedy fat man with a pig's head."
Mary said something concisely, and obviously everyone guessed that this was an illusion created by the dead Felgo.
Moloch showed his understanding and asked: "Lilith, what about you?"
The little Loli said expressionlessly: "I had a dream..."
Moloch's face darkened, and he naturally knew that he was talking about himself.
Before she could tell him the specific situation, she immediately interrupted him and turned to look at Raymond,
"So...this bald guy...I remember correctly, your name is Nicholas Zhaosi? Now you are the only one who has not said it..."
Raymond's heart skipped a beat.
By the time this was said, everyone had actually determined through the process of elimination that 99% of the dead Moore had experienced the illusion created by the bald head.
The fantasy scene just now is full of dangers for everyone here, but for those with extraordinary mental power who use strange methods, death is not necessarily inevitable.
The masters all roughly guessed the opponent's strength. Everyone knew that Fatty's extraordinary ability was obviously very strong. But why was it that he died when everyone with similar strength survived?
Raymond swallowed his saliva, and as he was being stared at by all the big guys, he tried to remain calm and said: "The scene I... experienced was... 'A little girl from the Viscount Palace killed the whole family.'"
Even though everyone guessed that this was the past of the irritable loli, no one turned their attention to Lilith.
Now it seems that no one in this room is normal.
Everyone is a "pervert", so naturally no one is curious about why a little girl would kill her whole family.
Now, everyone has the same question in their mind.
What kind of terrifying illusion has this bald head created?
Or maybe this guy is really the "owner" of the castle and is deliberately teasing them?
What's more, there is one less thing on the table, and most likely it will fall into the hands of the first person to come out.
The first two people to come out were,
Moloch was originally suspicious of the enigmatic-looking Mary, but now it seems that the most suspicious thing is the unpretentious bald head in front of him!
But how on earth did this guy break the cover and get the thing?
Could it be that if someone dies, an item will be automatically unlocked?
Or... you have to kill someone to get what you want?
Everyone present was not stupid, the atmosphere suddenly became subtle, and they became vaguely wary of each other.
...
Raymond felt very panic,
Damn...
If I don't explain these issues clearly now, I will probably become the second person to be killed!
"Well... I said I don't know what's going on. Do you believe me?"
