When the beauty of cultivation enters the infinite live broadcast

With a click, the door lock opened. The room was spotless. A piano was placed in the middle, and one wall was made into a display cabinet, which contained various musical instruments.

Zhou Yixi reached out and touched the piano lid, and there was no dust on her hand.

"It's so clean here. Someone must come here often. I guess the entrance to the basement should be here."

Lian Wu nodded in agreement and began to search the room.

Zhou Yixi opened the piano lid and picked up the music sheet beside it. It was "The Coffin of the Doll".

Zhou Yixi tested the notes and then tried to play.

A strange melody sounded in the empty room. In the middle and late part, the wall of musical instruments made sounds and a seven-stringed harp began to play automatically.

Lian Wu walked over, opened the display cabinet, grabbed the harp and took it out.

The display case slides to the sides, revealing a staircase leading underground.

The basement was not deep, only one floor, and the walls were illuminated by a strange plant whose leaves emitted a soft fluorescent light.

The ground is a little wet, and you might step into some puddles if you are not careful.

The basement is only half the size of the castle, with numerous plant roots supporting it.

Zhou Yixi approached the roots, and some white things were faintly visible among them.

Looking closely, suddenly, a bloodshot eye opened and stared straight at the human in front of it, leaving a line of blood and tears.

More and more blood-red eyes emerged from the roots. Buried within those roots were corpses, some reduced to mere skeletons, others so decomposed that flesh and blood hung from their bones. The roots dug deep into their bodies, absorbing nutrients.

Transparent flowers bloomed on the flesh and blood, desperately absorbing vitality and snatching nutrients.

It is hard to imagine how many lives are buried beneath this castle. Countless lives formed the foundation of this castle.

"Woo...Woo..."

The sound came from deep in the basement, and the two quickly rushed towards the direction of the sound.

Two people who were tied up like dumplings were struggling in the roots. They had not eaten for many days and were completely unable to break free from the restraints. Only the faint movement of their bodies could show that they were struggling.

Lian Wu cut off a bunch of roots with a sword, and Zhou Yixi also took out a scimitar to deal with it neatly.

They quickly rescued the two men.

Zhou Yixi saw Chen Qianyi open her eyes and asked hurriedly, "Chen Qianyi, are you okay?"

Chen Qianyi nodded weakly, used 1000 points to buy a B-level recovery potion from the mall, and drank it tremblingly with the support of Zhou Yixi.

"Listen, Mr. Leeson has a mental problem. He came here last night. He originally wanted to plant those flowers directly on us, but suddenly he started laughing and crying, and finally he hurt himself."

Lian Wu remembered the wound he saw on Mr. Leeson in the garden, and it was probably left from last night.

Tang Ze had already slowly woken up and said in a weak voice, "Something is wrong here. There were many ghosts here on the first night."

Lian Wu and Zhou Yixi's faces darkened when they heard this. The ghost they saw in the forest that day could actually appear in the castle. They just didn't know whether it could only appear in the basement or somewhere else as well.

"We'll talk about the rest after we get out."

Lian Wu did not put away his sword and was always on guard around him. He walked in front, Zhou Yixi supported Tang Ze, and Chen Qianyi was in much better condition after taking the recovery potion.

As soon as everyone walked out of the basement, the cabinet door closed automatically. After restoring the room to its original state, everyone gathered in the restaurant.

Tang Ze slumped in the chair, his neck and arms covered with red marks.

Wang Qiang and Feng Fu came down from the second floor after hearing the noise. Seeing Chen Qianyi and Tang Ze sitting in their seats, Feng Fu's expression twisted a little.

They must have found many key clues while I was away!

Jealousy and resentment had already clouded his mind, and the only thing that kept him calm was the iron order of the system.

Lian Wu noticed at a glance that something was wrong with the two men. Wang Qiang's original arrogance was gone, and now he followed Feng Fu timidly.

I'm afraid Feng Fu did something to Wang Qiang, but Lian Wu doesn't care.

Every evildoer will be punished by his own evildoer. It can be seen that the housekeeper still likes Feng Fu very much.

Sang Qi walked in slowly, caressing her belly from time to time with a loving look on her face. A maid and Zhang Hui were arm in arm, smiling brightly.

After the first night of the dungeon, everyone gathered again.

Chen Qianyi was busy inserting needles into her body. Looking at the needles all over her body, Zhang Hui felt a little numb.

Tang Ze looked at Chen Qianyi and swallowed his saliva. Unexpectedly, Chen Qianyi looked up and noticed his gaze. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you need it?"

"Does this hurt?"

"What do you think?" Chen Qianyi looked at Tang Ze's cowardly look with interest.

"I charge points for acupuncture outside the home, but since you're also incarcerated, I'll give it to you for free. If you don't want it, forget it."

"want!"

Tang Ze agreed without hesitation, and even Feng Fu couldn't help but show a sarcastic expression.

He was scared to death one second, and when he heard that he was taking advantage, he agreed directly the next second. Feng Fu knew that he was not a good person, but it did not prevent him from disliking Tang Ze.

"Hey! It hurts!"

Tang Ze was in so much pain that he wanted to cry but had no tears. He bit his lower lip tightly.

Zhou Yixi said: "Now let's talk about the dungeon."

The dungeon is currently halfway through, but the clues are scattered. If you want to get a high score in this dungeon, you will inevitably have to share clues.

"Mr. Leeson and I talked today. He hoped we could stay after the flower show, but I didn't dare agree."

Zhang Hui still felt a little scared when she recalled that scene. The housekeeper was behind her as if to stop her from escaping.

Li Yan was surprised to hear that Mr. Leeson had also contacted Zhang Hui. "Mr. Leeson also contacted me. He said the housekeeper needed an assistant and hoped I could stay."

"I think everyone should have been found except the two who were locked up?"

Lian Wu swept his scrutinizing gaze over the crowd, with an attitude of superiority.

Everyone nodded and talked about the reasons Mr. Leeson gave to get them to stay.

The reasons are similar, it's nothing more than the castle needs manpower, or there's a liking for them.

Chen Qianyi pulled out the needles from her body and said, "That Leeson came to the basement several times. The first time, he came with the housekeeper, but they didn't do anything to us. The second time, Leeson came alone, and he knocked me out as soon as he arrived. The third time was when he committed suicide."

Lian Wu took out two copies of information about the bone-eating vine and then looked at Feng Fu.

Feng Fu originally wanted to keep it secret, but with so many eyes staring at him, as an old player, no one would believe him if he said he didn't find anything.

"It's just a set of housekeeping rules. Believe it or not."

【Housekeeper Rules】

【1. Unconditionally obey the master's requirements and everything is centered around the master.

2. Keep the flowers in the castle intact at all times. If anyone is found destroying them, they will be dealt with at their discretion.

3. No one except the host is allowed to eat the flowers.

Wang Qiang's face turned pale and he looked at Feng Fu in disbelief. The other party had already got the rules, but he didn't remind him yesterday!

He clearly remembered that he ate a lot of the petals in the pasta.

"I followed you so sincerely, but you used me as a test!"

Wang Qiang rushed towards Feng Fu without hesitation, relying on his strong body to hit Feng Fu with punch after punch. But Feng Fu was an old player after all, and even if he lost his arm, he still had a lot of points to buy props.

The protective props protected Feng Fu very well. Wang Qiang's fists were bleeding, but he still couldn't break through the layer of protection.

Feng Fu sneered, "Don't forget, your personal mission will never be completed without me."

"I'm about to die, why would I even care about this bullshit mission!?"

Wang Qiang's eyes were bloodshot and he beat more fiercely.

Chen Qianyi was too lazy to watch the two of them making a fuss. After a few flying needles, Wang Qiang became weak all over and collapsed on the ground.

"What's the point of hitting him? You might as well use that energy to think about how to make amends."

When the clock struck 12, the maids carried the dishes to the dining table. They were not surprised to see the missing players come back. They were like puppets that had lost their souls, and their every move seemed to be set.

Mr. Leeson did not appear, and even the butler was nowhere to be found.

As if knowing that the players have understood the rules, there are no more flower-related foods in the dishes, and they only look like normal foods and fruits.

After lunch, everyone didn't leave immediately. After the maids packed up and left, Lian Wu said, "Everyone, I think I have some bad news. These maids and the housekeeper are feeling more and more alike to me."

Zhou Yixi frowned, "Oh no, the copy has started to assimilate."

"This dungeon will only get more dangerous." Chen Qianyi narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at the six new players. She paused when her gaze met Lian Wu, then retracted her gaze as if nothing had happened.

"Here's a piece of advice for you: don't interact too much with any NPCs from now on. Don't act alone. Always pay attention to your personal points. Maybe that can save your life."

After saying that, she stood up and walked to Zhang Hui, "Come back to my place tonight."

After sharing all the clues, everyone dispersed. Feng Fu and Wang Qiang had parted ways, but unfortunately no one was willing to accept Wang Qiang.

Lianwu's current target is the third floor of the castle. The rooms on the second floor have basically been checked. There are other people on the first floor. Currently, the only floor with zero exploration is the third floor.

Even though the housekeeper had said before that going to the third floor was not allowed, Lian Wu didn't care. He had died before, so why would he be afraid of dying again?

It would be best to be alive, but he is not afraid if he really faces death.

Unfortunately, just as he reached the stairs, Mr. Leeson appeared in front of him.

"Has the guest considered it?"

Mr. Li Sen's gentle voice has charmed many viewers in the live broadcast room, but unfortunately Lian Wu is not one of them.

"No, I came to ask you for compensation."

You have to go up there eventually, but you can't say in front of the other person that you want to visit his lair.

Mr. Lison's face was a little stiff under the mask. This player was really rude.

"I heard from the butler that the guest has a long sword. I thought he might need a scabbard, so I made it according to his request."

A dark green scabbard appeared out of thin air in Mr. Leeson's hand. Lian Wu took it and directly summoned a long sword, which was just the right size.

There is no need to draw the sword when using it, the scabbard will directly turn into runes and appear on the sword body.

"Mr. Leeson, you're very polite. The item is very good. I'll accept it."

After saying that, he left without hesitation.

After going downstairs, Lian Wu found Zhou Yixi and Chen Qianyi to discuss some things.

[Goodness, are players this daring nowadays?]

[There's no need to take such a risk in a novice dungeon.]

[No, these two players really trust a newcomer! If they get tricked, they'll be dead!]

[Who cares? It's not us who's going to do it anyway. Isn't it nice to watch a good show from a bird's eye view?]

〔It's still clearer from upstairs.〕

When Zhou Yixi walked to the front of the garden, Mr. Leeson instantly appeared in front of her, using the same words he had just used to Lian Wu.

"Sir, I have carefully considered your idea, and I have some concerns I would like you to address."

"of course can."

On the other side, Lian Wu saw the two of them talking from the second-floor window, turned around and walked up the stairs to the third floor.

The moment I walked up to the third floor, the surroundings became extremely gloomy. The dark walls showed the tragedy that had happened in the past, and dark handprints appeared on the walls.

It was obviously very cold, but there was a smell of burnt charcoal permeating the third floor, which could not be covered by the strong fragrance of flowers.

A black shadow suddenly flashed past behind Lian Wu, as if deliberately making some noise to attract Lian Wu's attention.

"Hehe, brother, come and play with me!"

Sharp baby cries came from all directions, and there were many more drag marks visible on the walls.

"La la la la! Ha! Uh ha ha! Brother, come find me quickly! Brother, it hurts so much!"

Lian Wu seemed not to hear anything, without even frowning, and searched the rooms one by one with sword in hand.

The wall lamp on the wall emitted a dim light, which was covered with stains, making the light even dimmer.

The third floor has fewer rooms than the second floor and is generally divided into three large rooms. Due to the fire, many of the original wooden walls no longer exist, leaving only a few traces.

In the first room, the walls were replaced by mirrors, and everything was grimy and messy. The mirrors were charred black, and the floor was covered in thick dust, leaving footprints with every step. The huge, exquisite chandelier had long lost its former glory.

The baby's voice disappeared at some point and was replaced by music.

In just a moment, the chandelier emitted a bright light, and the surroundings became as clean as if they had just been built, and all traces of dilapidated things disappeared.

In the mirror, a man and woman danced. Flowers covered the floor, and the woman's white, figure-hugging gown made her look even more vibrant and beautiful, yet her face held a look of unease and fear. A group of musicians played nearby, their joyous music masking any unease.

As the music reached its climax, the two people's movements became more cheerful.

Suddenly, the music stopped and was replaced by screams from the crowd.

The white dress was stained with blood, and a dagger was stuck in the woman's chest.
