Almost as soon as they finished their meal and put down their bowls and chopsticks, the electronic sound sounded again in the castle.
Yun Shu was so startled by the sudden strange sound that her wrists shook, and the bowls and chopsticks almost fell to the ground.
"Dinner time is over. Please follow the prompts and take the elevator to the basement to start this game."
Yun Shu tightened her face and looked around vaguely.
Someone must be watching them, otherwise it would be impossible to get stuck at such an accurate time.
However, there are not many furnitures in this huge house, and the walls are flat and smooth. It can be seen at a glance that there are no cameras like the ones I picked up before, and there are no amplification equipment such as speakers.
Where are those "eyes"? Where does that voice come from?
Is it really a future science fiction world?
She kept thinking in her heart, but she was still calm on her face. She stood up with Chu Xiaoqin and Lu Mingzhu, pretending to be confused and looking around.
Chu Xiaoqin hesitated to speak, but did not speak or move, and looked at Yun Shu.
Lu Mingzhu asked in a low voice: "What elevator? Where is the elevator here?"
The three of them were like outsiders who couldn't find a toilet in the city. They felt so cramped that her voice dropped eight degrees when she spoke.
Yun Shu showed no expression when asked.
"I don't know either. But you can try to look around, or ask directly. Hey, that noise, where is the elevator?"
Lu Mingzhu opened her eyes wide, and just when she was about to say that she was too tough, she heard the electronic voice actually respond.
"Please proceed according to the prompts."
This time the sound was obviously no longer surrounding their heads, but in front of them, as if someone was standing somewhere they couldn't see and calling them over.
They followed the sound closer and closer, only to discover that there was a crack in the wall next to a wooden stand holding a vase.
When the general walked over, a downward sign suddenly lit up on the dark "wall", and then the crack opened suddenly.
Lu Mingzhu opened her eyes wide: "The elevator is in the wall, why did it open by itself?"
Yun Shu still said the same thing: "I don't know."
The three people tentatively entered the elevator, closed the elevator door, and went down quickly.
For those who have never experienced this kind of straight up and down feeling, the moment you start it can make your palms sweat.
Yun Shu was even more serious. She hated this kind of confined space where she could fall heavily without control at any time. She felt that all the pores in her body were open, screaming for discomfort.
Fortunately, the elevator opened soon and they walked into darkness.
As footsteps sounded, the dark basement lit up one by one.
From near to far, the lights were lit regularly according to the distance, and then turned off regularly according to the path they walked.
This feeling is very strange, as if the darkness is chasing their footsteps, making people subconsciously want to walk faster to catch up with the light ahead.
When they came to their senses, they had already reached the middle of the basement, leaning together and looking around cautiously.
There were rows of wooden shelves, some holding wine bottles, and some holding other things. Black steel wires hung from the top of the head, and several strange-shaped hollow lamps hung.
The rest of the place was still dark and I couldn't see clearly what was there.
In this kind of environment, even a rat escaping can scare people off their feet. Don't let that sound come out at this time.
Whatever comes to mind, the electronic sound floats out as if on purpose: "Welcome..."
"Ah!" Lu Mingzhu was so frightened that she screamed loudly and tightly grabbed an arm next to her.
Electronic Sound was probably also startled by her lingering scream, and could not finish her words.
Yun Shu's face wrinkled up, she pulled away the hand on her arm that was stiff with fear, and placed it on Chu Xiaoqin's arm.
"Pinch him."
Chu Xiaoqin: "..."
Lu Mingzhu didn't care who it was, she just grabbed the person's arm tightly.
When her frantic panting stopped, the electronic voice spoke again: "Welcome to the third episode of the program. The theme of this episode is Castle Horror."
"There are five love value bonus cards hidden in the entire basement. Whoever finds them can increase the audience's love value ranging from 10,000 to 100,000. When all five bonus cards are found, the elevator will automatically open again and send you there again.
Return to the ground.
The game has a maximum time limit of one day and one night. Guests who have not found the bonus card by the time will be eliminated by default. The game countdown starts in five seconds. I wish you luck——"
The light above the head began to flash regularly, and then went out completely after five times.
The basement was completely plunged into darkness.
The three of them got closer, and Yun Shu could hear Chu Xiaoqin's breathing.
"Mingzhu, please stop pinching me."
Lu Mingzhu: "I'm sorry, but I'm really scared."
Chu Xiaoqin: "...then can you pinch it a little gentler?"
There was still room for discussion. Yun Shu was a little speechless. Just as she was about to leave the team, she was caught off guard by Lu Mingzhu. She heard her trembling voice and asked:
"Yunshu, tell me, why is this game called Castle Cry? Let's look for cards. Shouldn't we call it Castle Card Hunt?"
"...Do you think this name sounds good to you?"
But she also knew that Lu Mingzhu's question was more about the meaning of the word "fear and shock".
So she softened her voice and said thoughtfully: "Since it's called Castle Horror, there will definitely be a lot of scary things, such as hanged ghosts, water ghosts and bride ghosts. Have you ever seen the old corpse in the mountain village? The one soaked in pickled cabbage.
The bride in the altar..."
"Stop talking! Leave quickly!" Lu Mingzhu was about to collapse, hanging on Chu Xiaoqin without even raising her head.
Chu Xiaoqin tried to pull her down and almost tore her clothes to pieces. He could only helplessly say to Yun Shu: "Don't scare her."
Yun Shu shrugged: "Then I'll take the first step."
"Wait, aren't we together?"
"No, I like personal action."
Chu Xiaoqin couldn't stop her, so he could only watch her turn into a row of wooden frames and disappear into the darkness.
It's not convenient to walk in the dark, so I can only try it out, but when my hand touches the wooden frame, the things on it will make noises, such as those wine bottles. The crisp sound of hitting each other will last for a while before it stops. Listen to
It's disconcerting.
Yun Shu pursed her lips and groped forward with no expression on her face. When she encountered the wooden frame, she touched it with her hands, including the gaps between the wine bottles. She seemed not to be afraid of touching anything strange.
Chu Xiaoqin and Lu Mingzhu also took action. There were constant rustling sounds not far away, and their breathing sounded so heavy that they sounded like they were injured.
If this was in an anti-Japanese drama, the kid would have found it long ago.
She was thinking about some random things, and as soon as she pressed her hands on the second row of the wooden shelf, before she could touch the wine bottles, the wooden shelf suddenly separated from the middle. Before she could stop her strength, she threw herself forward and fell to the ground.
There was a muffled sound, and Lu Mingzhu on the other side immediately asked loudly: "Yunshu? Is that you? What are you doing?"
"fine."
Yun Shu pursed her lips tighter, got up, turned around and squinted her eyes slightly to look at the wooden frame that automatically split into two.
Just when I turned around, something suddenly fell from behind me. It didn't hit the ground, and seemed to bounce twice in the air before being hung by a rope.
In the Castle of Terror, what tied things will fall from the top of your head?
She paused for a moment, without turning her head to look, and touched a bottle of wine on the wooden shelf.
He calmly took down the bottle, grabbed the neck of the bottle, and then with the help of a quick twist, he slammed the bottle onto that damn thing!
"Bang!"
The pale long-haired ghost head was directly smashed into pieces. While swinging on the rope to the opposite side, it was scattered to the ground along with the broken wine bottle fragments, and there were several muffled sounds on the ground.
