Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 166 Escape from the Horror Game (10)

Until finally, the demonic vines completely wrapped its body, forming an oval sphere resembling an insect egg.

Jiang Qiucheng hid not far away and had a panoramic view of this scene.

She arrived when Qin Keming took action. She did not expect that in this very short period of time, the expedition team had begun to gradually disintegrate from within. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she intuitively had something to do with the girl in the white dress.

The group of people had already entered the interior of the castle, so naturally she couldn't be left behind. It was time to formally meet them.

The moment she stepped into the castle hall, Jiang Qiucheng felt the gazes from all directions, which were the puzzled gazes of the expedition members.

They had just entered, and had not yet reached the inside. They were already in a state of panic when there was sudden movement behind them. They thought it was some new accident, so they naturally panicked.

"Who are you?!"

"No, why can you come in so easily?"

Before Jiang Qiucheng could answer, the expedition members started shouting and trying to get an explanation from the girl in the white dress.

"Who are you? Are you a character in this game world?"

Now, unless Jiang Qiucheng says that she belongs here, it will probably be even more dissatisfying if she enjoys preferential treatment as an ordinary player.

Before that, she had no idea that the price for the expedition team to enter the castle was to kill one of the team members with her own hands, and that she, a latecomer, would appear so calmly in front of people who had just endured a fierce psychological struggle. It doesn’t seem strange to be resented anymore.

"Hey! What's going on? Why do we need to abandon a team member and pay the price of blood on our hands when we come in, and this woman always comes in like this?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiucheng sighed with a headache, but chose to tell the truth.

Unfortunately, this question did not receive a timely response, and roars echoed in the empty castle. The girl disappeared after entering the castle, and the expedition team that entered later could not find her at all.

Jiang Qiucheng originally planned to form an ally with this expedition team and search for the key to leave together, but unexpectedly he got off to a bad start and was resented before even communicating.

"What price does she have to pay? What does she need to redeem her ticket?"

A series of questions were output, which made Jiang Qiucheng feel bad.

Seeing that their anger did not receive a positive response, the expedition team turned their attention to Jiang Qiucheng again.

"Since it's a game, fairness should be the most basic thing, right? If you can't even do this, is there any need to continue?!"

"I do not belong to this game world. Just like you, I am an ordinary player from the outside world."

"If anything, I have slightly more information than you. If you want to leave here, you need to find a key."

"If you can't find the key, you will be trapped here." After hearing this, the members of the expedition team began to whisper, seemingly discussing the authenticity of Jiang Qiucheng's words.

"When did you enter this game? Since entering, have you had any contact with a girl in a white dress?"

Their eyes were firmly fixed on Jiang Qiucheng, waiting for her answer.

"I probably entered this game earlier than you, and have already been in contact with her. She is very special, and should be a key figure in this game."

"Although I don't know what admission tickets are like yet, I want to say that judging from our goals, we should be the same. We all want to leave here as soon as possible. In this case, why not help each other?"

Although he was not familiar with these people, Jiang Qiucheng was not willing to make enemies for himself right away. If possible, it would be better to win them over first.

Unfortunately, after the previous events, the trust of the expedition team has become precarious. Not to mention Jiang Qiucheng, even the people around him cannot trust him. Talking about cooperation at this time is simply a fantasy.

"Haha, cooperation is not necessary. It's good if you can take care of yourself here."

"We spent a lot of effort to get into this place. Maybe it's because she's not here now. You may not have it so easy when she comes."

After calming down, the expedition team felt that the girl's departure had allowed Jiang Qiucheng to take advantage of the situation. When she appeared again, the other party would pay the due price. Whether they are watching the fire from the other side or taking pleasure in the misfortune, they now want to let others perish with them.

Faced with the rejection, Jiang Qiucheng did not become angry. Instead, he nodded silently and calmly distanced himself. Since the other party is unwilling to cooperate with you, there is no need to force it.

No matter what happens next, she will put herself first and put away those unnecessary pities.

After a short conversation, the castle fell into silence again. Jiang Qiucheng raised his head and began to observe the surrounding environment.

When it was still daytime outside, the castle looked a little dilapidated, but in the dark night, it glowed with a different brilliance.

The marble floor underfoot is smooth and clean, the murals on the walls are brightly colored, and in the spacious hall, the large red velvet curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows are eye-catching. They are delicately held together with double-wound tassel ropes of gold wire, showing an elegant arch shape. When the breeze blows and the curtains sway gently, the tassel ropes dance with it, shimmering with golden light.

Passing through the central hall, at the end is a grand spiral staircase leading to the second floor. The design of the staircase presents a T-shaped partition, with thick solid wood railings on the left and right sides.

Jiang Qiucheng stood in the hall and was shocked by the luxurious scene in front of him. She raised her head and looked up at the murals and crystal chandeliers on the dome. Under the illumination of the huge crystal chandelier, the entire room was as bright as day, as if all darkness and filth had nowhere to hide.

In this grand space, the mural on the dome becomes the visual focus. The mural depicts a shocking story of god-killing, but its expression is surprisingly soft. The colors in the murals are rich and harmonious, the characters are lifelike, and the movements are smooth and elegant.

Although the core of the story is killing gods, there are not too many bloody elements on the screen. Even the blood flowing out of the chest is transformed into colorful petals. This processing method not only retains the drama of the story, but also avoids overly violent expressions, allowing people to feel a deep sadness and tragedy while appreciating the art.

For some reason, when Jiang Qiucheng looked at this mural, he always felt a vague sense of familiarity, but he couldn't tell where he had seen it before.

This strange feeling made her fall into thinking for a moment.
