[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

There were six people outside the door, four men and two women, all wearing mountaineering clothes, covered in mud, and looking particularly disheveled due to the rain and wind.

Lu Xiaofeng, Xiao Longnu and Wen Xue'an were among this team. They were also covered in mud and were soaked all over.

And this was just an ordinary start for them.

Tourists who were climbing the mountain encountered a mudslide on the road, and some people in the team were injured. In the wilderness stood a gloomy and terrifying castle... A murder case that was about to happen was handed under the nose of the detective team! On the way, Lu Xiaofeng was still saying, guess who the murderer is this time, who is the deceased?
Xiao Long Nu looked around at the NPCs and thought, "This time the situation may be different from the past."

Wen Xuean asked, "What's the difference?"

Xiao Longnu shook her head and said, "These people are very strange." She couldn't tell what was strange about them, but she felt very uncomfortable with them, just like the first time she met Wen Xue'an.

She expressed her feelings very straightforwardly, and Wen Xuean understood immediately. He lowered his hoarse voice, moved closer to her, and rolled his eyes innocently: "You mean, they might be the murderers?"

Xiao Longnu nodded. This was just a natural intuition, and her intuition was usually very accurate.

The opening of the castle door further confirmed her intuition.

It turns out that it wasn't the murderer, it was a living ghost!

Hu Fei invited people in and said, "This is the Horror Island. We have always been on the island and have never left." He looked heroic and honest, but he was nicknamed "Flying Fox" and was very cunning. While inviting people in, he was also alert. He secretly entered the live broadcast room and found the detective level. He saw that it did show the scene inside the castle, and he was also in the camera. No matter how powerful the ghosts were, they could not affect the system live broadcast. This showed that the three people in front of him were definitely not ghosts in disguise, but were indeed good friends who had killed monsters together.

He was relieved, but not completely reassured, because his friends were human beings, but the people who came in with them might not be the same.

Two of the men, one was in his thirties, with thin lips and a determined look, and he was used to giving orders. He was tall and strong, and his clothes were made of good material, while the other was very short, wearing black-framed glasses, with sparse hair under his mountaineering hat, and a round head. He looked not only dull, but also timid.

The other girl had wavy hair and her originally gorgeous makeup was mottled by the heavy rain, with black and white streaks on her face. Even so, one could still vaguely see her beauty when she had her makeup done, but her face was pale and she was limping when she came in, and Lu Xiaofeng had to support her the whole time.

The short man looked around the castle, his eyes full of fear, and hesitantly said, "So... So this island is called Horror Island. Are those legends true?"

He turned to Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Xiao Lu, you... know each other?" He then looked at Hu Fei and said, "Brother, you live alone? Aren't you scared in the middle of the night?"

As his voice trembled, lightning flashed across the sky again, and the pale light illuminated Hu Fei's unkempt face.

In terms of appearance, Hu Fei was handsome, and in terms of temperament, he had a clear gaze and was unrestrained and casual. He didn't look like a bad guy at all. However, when illuminated by the lightning, he inexplicably looked a bit ferocious like a bandit, which scared several people. When they thought about what he had said before he opened the door, the two men and one woman hid behind Wen Xue'an like quails, completely ignoring the fact that Wen Xue'an's aura was actually much more cold and terrifying than Hu Fei's.

Honestly, in his 20 years of life, this was the first time that Tianxia Qi had enjoyed such treatment! Was this the feeling of being trusted and relied upon unconditionally?

Why am I still a little touched?

But Hu Fei laughed and said, "How could that be? I would be scared if I lived in a place like this alone. Fortunately, I have two friends who are upstairs."

Then, as if he had just noticed that several people were soaking wet, Hu Fei slapped his head and said, "Hey, look at me, you are all soaked. You should go upstairs and take a hot shower first. Do you have any clean clothes? It doesn't matter if you don't have any. I have everything here."

He coughed and clapped his hands: "Who is so tactless today? Don't you see someone coming? Electric shock!"

As soon as the words fell, the eerie castle suddenly lit up!

This time, not only the NPCs were stunned, but even Lu Xiaofeng and the others were also surprised.

The burly man frowned: "This is..."

Hu Fei smiled and said, "Just some ghosts, no need to worry about them."

Everyone: "..."

Lightning danced wildly, thunder roared, and the bearded man living in the castle smiled evilly...

The NPC's shrill screams pierced the sky and soared into the sky.

Yue Lingshan poked her head out from the second floor, yawned and said, "Why are you so noisy? Can't I sleep... It's you!" Her eyes lit up, she ran downstairs quickly with her skirt lifted, grabbed Xiao Longnu's hand, and said in surprise, "Sister Long! Why are you here? I thought I could only see you after I passed the level!"

Xiao Long Nu was a little uncomfortable with this kind of enthusiasm, but after all, they were girls of the same age and had experienced life and death together, so they were naturally closer. She smiled and said, "I don't know. When I came in, I watched the system live broadcast, and the levels on both sides seemed to have merged together."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Perhaps the game saw that we were too bored, so it was specially arranged. I guess this time there are not only murderers but also ghosts among us."

In fact, as the difficulty of their investigations increases, the murderers are not necessarily all NPCs. Many times, as the evidence is revealed and the reasoning is unraveled, they are surprised to find that they are the murderer! Or the murderer's accomplice!
Lu Xiaofeng was once a murderer. When he was inspecting the scene, he accidentally deduced that he was the murderer. Surprised, he also had the idea of ​​playing a joke, so he deliberately erased the clues and misled his teammates.

No matter how smart Xiao Longnu and Wen Xue'an were, they could not have imagined that the game had such fancy operations. As a result, Lu Xiaofeng was the only one who got a high score. Later, his two teammates also learned this trick. The reasoning and detective level was turned into a large-scale immersive script-killing game by the three of them, which was both exciting and brain-burning.

Does the fusion of the levels this time mean that they not only have to solve the case, but also have to distinguish whether the people around them are human or ghost?

What's more...I am the ghost!

Yue Lingshan immediately jumped up in joy and clapped her hands, "Great! I was just saying that the game only has the same few tricks over and over again, and there is nothing new. I didn't expect to get something fun like this!"

These players were so excited that the NPCs were scared. Although they didn't understand what game they were talking about, they knew that they were a part of the game because of ghosts and murderers. They were frightened to the point of almost fainting. The two men and one woman screamed and tried to run out, but the castle gate had already been closed!
The bright lights flickered, and three people knocked on the door frantically. Suddenly, they felt a chill on their heads and a heaviness on their shoulders. The thin man bravely looked back, and saw two purple legs faintly visible under a red dress. The feet were chopped off at the heels, revealing white, bloody stumps!
Looking up again, the female ghost with wavy hair was the injured girl among them! The female ghost showed a sinister smile, and the three people felt a chill from the top of their heads to their spines, and they all fainted.

The ghost turned her head, her face was purple and swollen, and blood and tears slowly flowed from her eyes. Wen Xue'an had been trained by Xiao Longnu to be very obedient. The moment the ghost turned her head, he took the first step to block Xiao Longnu's eyes, and he also cleverly chose to close his eyes and not look.

Lu Xiaofeng was not as smart as him and was frightened for nothing.

Hu Fei and Yue Lingshan were already used to it. Not only were they not surprised, they were even in a mood to comment on it.

"I haven't seen him before. He's new here."

"The death is a bit tragic. He's wearing red clothes. Does he have a lot of resentment?"

Hu Fei stepped forward and asked, "Who killed you?"

The female ghost looked upstairs with bloody eyes, then looked at herself who had fainted, and then turned into a wisp of cold wind and dissipated.

Hu Fei followed her gaze and asked, "Could it be that the person who killed her lives upstairs?"

Yue Lingshan said: "It is also possible that this ghost traveled through time and came to the time before she was killed. She wanted to remind herself not to go upstairs. She might have died upstairs."

Hu Fei asked: "Who is the murderer?"

Lu Xiaofeng came over and said, "At least the deceased has been identified. Let's keep a close eye on her. The murderer must be among us."

This should have been a terrifying sentence, and should have been said with trepidation, causing the trust among all employees to collapse. However, he said it so easily, as if it didn't matter who lived or died.

Wen Xue'an got a phosphorus candle from somewhere to suit the occasion. The eerie cold light reflected his eerie face, and his smile was also eerie: "Not only could the murderer be among us, the deceased could also be among us."

Yue Lingshan had never liked him, and glared at him: "You better be careful, you might be the next to die." Then, she took Xiao Longnu's hand and said: "Sister Long, let's go take a shower. You look wet. There is hot water upstairs. We can stay together tonight."

As he said that, he pulled her upstairs.

Lu Xiaofeng looked around and asked, "Where's Jing Wuming? He's not here?"

Hu Fei said: "I don't know which live broadcast he was watching these past two days. He didn't eat or sleep, and he also got a pile of papers. He sat at the table all day, and I don't know what he was writing. He was almost going crazy."

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows: "Watching live broadcast? Could he be watching Miao Bi Sheng Hua? Or Deep Palace Grudge? It seems that there are only these two shows. Otherwise, I really can't imagine what someone like him would be interested in."

As they spoke, Lu Xiaofeng and Wen Xue'an carried the three poor NPCs who had fainted upstairs. Hu Fei led the way and introduced: "There is a bathing area in each room here. Be careful, there may be ghosts coming out to make trouble, but don't be afraid, just beat them up and they will be obedient."

The stairs creaked, and there was a wall-mounted candle every few steps in the long corridor, illuminating the paintings on the wall.

painting.

The contents of the paintings are all scenes from hell. People are naked, with expressions of panic and numbness on their faces, and demons with horns and tails are holding steel forks and ripping them apart.

Every painting is bloody and horrific.

Lu Xiaofeng was paying attention to these paintings, and suddenly, a huge painting began to twist and deform, and the face of the person in the painting went from blurry to clear.

It actually turned into Lu Xiaofeng's face!
In the picture, his neck was chopped off, a black hand was holding his head, blood was all over the floor, and his body was in the bathtub, as if he was struggling to climb out!

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the painting. His head in the painting had its eyes wide open, staring at him.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and pointed to the room next to the painting: "It seems that this room is mine."

He strode in.

On the other side, Yue Lingshan and Xiao Longnu had taken off their clothes and the bathtub was filled with hot water.

Although the castle is scary, its hardware facilities are quite good and it has a very artistic atmosphere. Even the soap used for bathing is carved into a pure white, lifelike human head - but after using it for a long time, Shakespeare gradually turned into a cyborg.

Yue Lingshan rubbed the portrait with her wet hands, creating a string of bubbles. While rubbing the bubbles, she turned her head and talked to Xiao Longnu. As she rubbed, her hands started to feel something was wrong.

She watched helplessly as the human head soap turned into a real human head.

Her own head!
