Nita led the way, her high heels making a clear and rhythmic sound on the floor with exquisitely carved patterns.

But the distance between each of her steps is fixed, and the frequency of her steps does not fluctuate at all, just like her, flat and stiff.

Nita led them through the corridors, which were so winding and winding that it was like a maze, making it almost impossible to remember the way they went.

Xiao Zhi noticed that all the surrounding rooms had their doors tightly closed, and it was quiet without a sound coming from inside. The three of them were undead and there was no sound of footsteps. At this moment, only Nita's footsteps echoed lonely, as if she was the only one in the entire mansion.

Nita's footsteps suddenly stopped. She turned towards Xiao Zhi and bowed to him: "This is the guest room prepared for you. Please come with me."

It looked like it was a room for one person.

Xiao Zhi exchanged glances with his senior brothers to reassure them, and then followed Nita into the room.

The room was still so exquisite and gorgeous, only lit by candles, it seemed a little dim. In the middle is a large bed big enough for several people to lie on. The bed frame is made of black metal and covered with bright red silk bedding, giving it a luxurious feel.

Xiao Zhi originally thought he would see something weird in the room, but no.

At least there were no strange statues, incomprehensible books, weird dolls or anything like that within his sight. This looks like a room with nothing unusual except for being overly gorgeous.

After that, Nita also arranged rooms for Einstein and Vidi. There were obviously only three guests, but their rooms were scattered and arranged at different locations in the corridor, just like the other closed rooms were full of people.

After Nita left, the three brothers and sisters searched their rooms carefully.

A moment later, in Wade's room.

Xiao Zhi sat on the sofa: "I've looked through all the corners, and I didn't find anything strange."

Einstein sat on a high-back chair: "Me too, I even got under the bed, or... There is nothing."

The sofa and chairs were all occupied, and Wei Di could only lie on the bed: "I checked all the decorations, and there were no ghost stories. The books on the table were also normal romance novels.

" Einstein: "What do you think you want to do with this level?"

Xiao Zhi guessed: "Since it is a Hesse level, will it be related to supernatural events? Enter a weird mansion and experience various death crises in it. Finally, we successfully found our way out."

"According to the game's formula, this kind of closed mansion must have elements of exploration and puzzle solving. Do you remember the corridor we came through, right? The corridor is so winding, and there may be a chase. "

Einstein touched his pigtails: "Yeah, I've played this kind of game before. The ghosts are chasing you in a closed scene. As long as you make a mistake, you will be caught. It's just a game, but it's still very exciting. Oops, I'm suddenly looking forward to what's going to happen next."

Wade: "..."

He's not looking forward to it at all. Why can these two people make it so easy to actually experience a horror game?

Xiao Zhi said: "Under normal circumstances, the horror plot begins after the protagonist group disperses."

Einstein: "Take turns to seek death, defeat each one."

Wei Di shrank into the quilt, he felt that his whole body was not very good. good. It's obviously a game, and ZERO is already very deadly. Why do you have to add horror elements to Hesse? Can't Hesse be more unified with the painting style of other places on the mainland? What local characteristics should be added? ! ! !

Wei Di looked around: "Could this place be haunted?"

Xiao Zhi looked indifferent: "We are ghosts now."

Wei Di looked at Einstein on the left, and then at Xiao Zhi on the right. Their faces were pale and their bodies were In a translucent state, after using the Dead Soul Crystal, what are they other than ghosts now?

His whole body shrank a little more.

Einstein comforted his junior brother: "The worst thing is to die, don't be afraid."

However, Wade didn't seem to be comforted at all, and even became more wilted. His eyes were straight and he stared blankly - Einstein behind.

The other two people also noticed that something was wrong. Xiao Zhi quietly turned his gaze and looked towards where Wei Di's gaze was.

The windows of the room were made of colorful stained glass. Because of the patterns on it, the three people inside couldn't see clearly what was outside. But a human-like black shadow appeared on the window. The black shadow was motionless and I didn't know what it was.

When did this thing lie there? There was no sound at all.

The three of them did not act rashly, and there was a strange silence inside and outside.

After a moment, the black shadow squirmed and retreated slowly. It was obviously not small in size, but it made no sound at all during the whole process, just like when it appeared.

When the black shadow completely disappeared, he stood up and tried to open the window. He found that the window was welded shut. Xiao Zhi turned around and said, "It can't be opened at all."

Einstein: "Are you afraid that we will escape through the window? Are you really going to do it?" The exploration has been decrypted."

Xiao Zhi asked, "Would you like to go out and take a look?"

Einstein raised his lips and said, "Of course, I want to take a closer look at such an interesting place."

He

held the quilt and looked at it. He looks weak, pitiful and helpless.

Xiao Zhi asked a question that hit his soul: "Senior Brother Sixteenth, are you going out with us to commit suicide? Or are you going to stay and commit suicide yourself?"

The word "death" is really well used. In a horror game, following strange things Isn't chasing someone from behind just asking for death?

Of course, the same goes for placing orders.

Wei Di thought for a while and decided that he would be the lesser of two evils. He might be the one who stayed and died, but if he joined the team, all three of them might be wiped out, and if he was lucky, he might not stay. will die.

Then he got into the quilt completely, sticking out his buttocks and motionless. Even his head was covered tightly and not exposed at all. He looked completely wilted.

When Einstein saw this, he understood. He waved to the quilt: "Then let's go first. You should be careful and send us a message if anything happens." He

stretched out a hand from the quilt and gestured "OK".

·

Xiao Zhi and Einstein went out one after the other.

It was still as quiet outside as before. The rooms in the corridor were tightly closed. No one was around, and Nita was nowhere to be seen. I don't know where she went after that.

They kept quiet and quietly walked to other areas.

The two of them were excited to find ghosts, but they didn't expect to find anything along the way. Not only were there no scary ghosts that suddenly rushed out, there were no doors that opened automatically, there were not even any strange sounds that suddenly sounded.

It's so normal, it makes people feel like their heart is almost broken.

Returning to the hall again, the hall was still the same as before, and the candlelight was still on, but Nita who was sitting on the sofa was now gone.

Xiao Zhi first tried the door, but it was as motionless as the window.

Xiao Zhi: "If you can't get out through the doors or windows, where is the way to leave?"

Einstein came over and asked: "Is it possible that the exit is not set up in such a simple place? Or maybe it requires a special method to open."

Xiao Zhi Thinking: "Maybe the way to leave is not through the door. In this magical world, it's hard to say."

Einstein nodded, and after exploring to no avail, the two left here.

·

The two continued to search for clues in the house.

After a while, a door that was obviously larger and more ornate appeared in front of him. Xiao Zhi reached out and pushed it gently, and the door opened.

Xiao Zhi turned to look at Einstein and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. This was the first door they could open besides their own room. There must be something different inside.

The two of them entered the room quietly.

Xiao Zhi walked in front. The room in front of him was still gorgeous with a cold texture, and the furnishings in the room were much more than those in Xiao Zhi's guest room.

This is probably the room that belongs to the owner. It is quite large. Xiao Zhi and the others are currently in the outermost room.

In the middle is an oil painting, which depicts a beautiful woman wearing a white dress, pale skin, pretty face, and her hair in a high bun.

There was no smile on the woman's face. Her light blue eyes were staring ahead, and it was impossible to tell whether she was sad or happy. There was a necklace hanging around her neck, but she had no other ornaments on her body.

After checking the surroundings and finding no clues, Xiao Zhi said hello to Einstein and walked towards where the bedroom should be.

Xiao Zhi was startled as soon as he entered the door. A figure dressed exactly like the oil painting at the door appeared in front of him. The person's back was turned to him. It was not clear for a while whether it was the woman in the oil painting.

It was quite embarrassing to be caught breaking into an empty door. Xiao Zhi didn't know how to explain it for a while, and it seemed that he entered the hostess's room.

He said that we were just holding hands to go to the toilet, and he wondered if we would be beaten out as scoundrels.

Xiao Zhi waited for a moment, but found that the figure in front of him showed no reaction. Not only did he not turn around because he was disturbed, he didn't even move slightly.

Xiao Zhi was suspicious and tentatively said, "Sorry to disturb you?"

The other party still had no response.

Xiao Zhi took a few steps forward to get closer, and then realized that the person in front of him was not a human at all. Because its exposed neck is completely white, not the kind of snow-white that describes a person's fair skin, but literally, as pale as snow.

Not only that, Xiao Zhi also used the subtle candlelight to observe reflections, which only appear on hard material surfaces. Reflections with clear edges are not the texture that human skin should have.

This time he decisively walked to the front of the figure. It turned out that the woman dressed like the woman in the oil painting was also a doll, but it was far less refined than Nita in the hall. Her face was blank, not even her facial features.

Xiao Zhi retreated to the door and shouted: "Brother, come and take a look."

Footsteps sounded from behind him, gradually approaching him.

Xiao Zhi said: "Look, I found a doll, and in the oil painting outside-"

His voice suddenly stopped.

Because Xiao Zhi suddenly remembered that Einstein, like him, used the soul crystal of the dead. Unless they deliberately stepped harder, the souls of the dead would not make any footsteps when they moved forward.

So, what is this thing that is gradually approaching his back?

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Xiao Zhi didn't have time to think too much. Taking advantage of the lightness of the undead body, he suddenly flew upwards, instantly widening the distance between him and the people below.

Xiao Zhi looked down from a high place and saw a pale doll wearing Einstein's clothes standing below, raising his blank face to "look" at him.

Xiao Zhi looked around the room and saw no trace of Einstein.

Where has Senior Brother Ai gone? Why did such a thing suddenly appear?

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the room, which sounded like the friction sound of a gorgeous skirt being dragged across the floor.

Xiao Zhi followed the sound and looked over, and sure enough, the puppet in the room also moved.

It walked towards Xiao Zhi with stiff steps and stretched out its hand.

The other doll also stretched out its hand towards him, trying to grab him.

Xiao Zhi sent each of them a fireball with his backhand, and then rushed out of the room at a flying speed.

As soon as Xiao Zhi rushed out, he saw Einstein rushing out at the same time. The two were stunned when they saw each other.

Xiao Zhi: "I saw you become -"

Einstein: "I saw you become -"

Neither of them continued, presumably the other party must have encountered the same situation as themselves. I don't know why, they entered the same room, but were separated into two spaces afterwards. They encountered similar encounters but couldn't see each other.

The sound of footsteps continued to be heard in the room.

The two looked back at the same time. This time, four dolls appeared in the room, two wearing the same gorgeous clothes as the oil painting, one wearing Einstein's clothes, and one wearing the same style as Xiao Zhi.

At this time, their speed was obviously faster than before. Light blue energy fluctuations appeared in the hands of the two dolls wearing long skirts, and two ice blades attacked them respectively.

Xiao Zhi and the two quickly dodge. At this time, a burst of music sounded, as brisk and sweet as a music box.

Along with the music, rustling sounds came from the rooms on both sides that were originally unable to be opened, as if there were many people inside slowly approaching the door.

Einstein smiled: "Here's another thrill."

Xiao Zhi ran forward: "Hurry up and run away, the chase is coming."

After saying this, he ran away to show respect without any sense of brotherhood.

"Junior brother, you are running so fast!" Einstein saw this and quickly followed. He didn't want to be left at the bottom.

The two undead pale figures passed quickly in the corridor. As they moved forward, the sound of the door opening kept coming from behind. Xiao Zhi took the time to look back. These rooms were all filled with pale dolls. No wonder there was no sound coming out before. They turned out to be dead objects.

The puppets all came out now, standing at the door with blank faces facing them, while slowly and stiffly reaching out to them, the scene was quite strange.

The situation is not right, they plan to go back to find Wade first and run away with him.

While running, the two discussed.

Xiao Zhi: "I think that room just now must be very important, otherwise the whole house wouldn't have changed as soon as we entered."

Einstein: "Have you found any clues?"

Xiao Zhi: "No, but I suspect and the portrait What about you?"

Einstein spread his hands and said, "I doubt her too."

Xiao Zhi said, "Let's take Brother Sixteen over and take a look."

Einstein agreed with this and went to the top students when he was in trouble. This was a tacit understanding between the bad students. Although Wade's game level is negligible, he is quite sharp in finding clues and analysis.

·

The two changed lanes several times in the corridor and finally got rid of the puppet behind them.

Returning to the corridor where their room was located, it was as peaceful as before, unaffected by the commotion in the distance.

When he came to Wade's room, he was still in the same shape with his head covered by the quilt, as if he wanted to live or die with the quilt.

Einstein took a step forward and said, "Get up, we found a clue."

As he said that, he reached out and lifted up Wade's quilt.

But a hand suddenly stretched out in front of him, blocking his movement. Einstein turned around in confusion, only to see Xiao Zhi holding an address book in one hand and mouthing to him: "Look at the address book."

Feeling that something was wrong, Einstein took back his hand and opened his address book. He saw that there was an additional message from Wade in the three people's contact group.

16: Be careful. I died. I don't know what happened. The moment I open my eyes, I will be resurrected.

The two put away their address books and took out their weapons.

Xiao Zhi looked at Einstein, who nodded.

Then, they suddenly opened the quilt and blasted the puppet disguised as Wade inside. The poor puppet was waiting for the opportunity to assassinate him, but he didn't expect these two people to be so unreasonable. They just came up and beat it to pieces.

The broken pieces of the doll were scattered on the big bed, and the human form was almost invisible. There were also fragments on it that had been devoured by the undead fire. It looked particularly miserable.

Einstein was a little worried: "Wei... What should I do if I fail the 16th grade?"

It felt like a scumbag just discovered before the exam that the top student at the same table had diarrhea and asked for leave today.

Xiao Zhi was also a little worried. His eyes searched the bed, and suddenly he saw a little reflection under the candlelight. He reached for the thing and found it was a key.

Einstein came over and said, "Key? This thing doesn't seem to be from Shiliu. I know all his stuff."

Xiao Zhi looked at the key: "Does it look familiar to you? You seem to have seen it somewhere?"

Einstein touched it . He thought for a moment and said, "No."

Xiao Zhi's brows furrowed, and he still felt suspicious. Suddenly, the oil painting he had seen before flashed through his mind. The woman in the painting had a necklace around her neck. Because it was her only accessory, Xiao Zhi took a few more glances.

Xiao Zhi: "We may have to go back to that room to take a look. I think the pattern on the woman's necklace in the oil painting seems a bit like the pattern on the key."

Einstein: "You mean, the exit door may be hidden in the painting. "

Xiao Zhi nodded: "Go and take a look?"

Einstein: "Okay, there are no other clues now."

·

We came to the corridor where the gorgeous door was located again.

The corridor had returned to calm, but as the two entered, the quiet rooms on both sides became commotion again. The two of them kept walking, rushing forward with the speed of the undead.

When they opened the door, two identically dressed dolls were waiting for them. Next to them were two dolls that imitated the clothes of Xiao Zhi and Xiao Zhi.

The four dolls "looked" directly at them and attacked them the moment they entered the room.

The two female dolls still used ice magic, and the dolls that imitated Xiao Zhi also used the attack methods of mage and assassin respectively. They imitated them in a precise manner and were much better than Wei Di's dolls.

Xiao Zhi thought that the reason why the Wade puppet was so easy to deal with just now was probably because the target it imitated was Wade...

Einstein turned around and blocked the attack coming towards Xiao Zhi: "Junior brother, you go first Go and give it a try, I'm blocking this way."

Although he is a scumbag, in battle, Einstein is a very reliable and good senior brother, and he is not timid even in 1V4.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhi immediately pulled away and quickly drifted towards the portrait.

A puppet wanted to chase, but Einstein flew up and kicked him back. He dodged the puppet's attacks, and sometimes was narrowly missed. It looked very dangerous, but he still stopped them firmly. On his own side.

But the situation was not good, because the surrounding rooms opened again, and the dolls were slowly approaching here.

Xiao Zhi quickly came to the portrait. The woman in the painting still looked like she was neither sad nor happy. He took out the key and compared it with the necklace around the woman's neck, and found that they were indeed consistent.

Not seeing the keyhole, Xiao Zhi tried to paste the pattern on the key on the woman's necklace.

The next moment, a burst of light blue light lit up, and a familiar teleportation array appeared where the portrait was.

"Let's go!" Xiao Zhi greeted Einstein and threw a series of fireballs to support him.

After a while, the two of them worked together to get rid of the puppets and entered the portal.

·

The teleported light passes.

Xiao Zhi found himself floating on a gray ocean. The sea here had no waves and no feeling of movement. It was like a pool of stagnant water.

If you look carefully, you can see that there are faint souls floating in the water, but their expressions are dull, their movements are slow, and they look like they are unconscious. Maybe what looks like water below is not actually water.

There was a layer of light gray mist on the sea, blocking his sight and preventing him from seeing the distance.

Einstein, who entered the portal at the same time as him, disappeared, and there was no sign of anyone around.

Xiao Zhi took out his address book and wanted to contact his senior brothers, but found that the message could not be sent, and there was only a reminder that "we are in special circumstances and cannot communicate at the moment."

It seems that I can only advance through this final level alone.

Xiao Zhi was floating on the sea, not knowing how to leave this level. There are three levels in Hesse. The first level tests combat effectiveness and judgment, and the second level tests analytical skills. So what about the third level?

It's not like the entire selection of scribes doesn't test the participants' immortal writing skills, right? What if a completely illiterate clerk is elected?

Just as I was thinking about it, a small slate floated on the water in front of me. I don't know what kind of texture this slate was made of, but it could actually float on the water. It looked a bit strange.

Xiao Zhipiao took a closer look, and there were words engraved on it:

He passed through the corridor of life and death,

broke through the hustle and bustle of the world,

peeled off his heavy body,

invited me to dance with him, and entered the distant and peaceful embrace of death.

This is what Xiao Zhi has learned this month, a love poem dedicated to the God of Death by the undead poet Sifulina - "Death is Eternal Love". The whole poem describes her feelings and yearning for death in the moment of life and death. , what appears here is a small section of it.

Xiao Zhi picked up the slate. It was just a long strip about the size of a palm. There was obviously content at the front and back. It was probably for the participants to find other parts and complete them on their own.

Xiao Zhi smiled: "The final written test? It's quite romantic."
