Ah? This isn't a love game?

Chapter 194 Rules are meant to be broken
[*Don't set a flag!*: I think I know! You guys are talking about that, right?]
[Is there anyone who is too good to be true? Please tell me what this thing is.]
[Aren’t they just a few constellation symbols? What can they reveal?]
[*Don't set a flag!*: 12 symbols, this number, doesn't it remind you of something?]
[Scepter fragment?!]
[No way?!]
[Really? We are not well educated. Boss, please don’t lie to us.]
[How can this dark room be related to the 12 pieces of the staff?]
[*Don't set a flag!*: I'm not sure either, but I've heard other players mention it in high-level dungeons before. There are rumors that in this world, there is a mysterious container composed of 12 runes. It seems to be called... the shell of the scepter?]
[*Shorty and Fat*: Uh, it’s called the Scepter’s Sheath]
[*Don't set a flag!*: I remember that according to rumors, this thing seemed to be fabricated by the president of your Ghost Tamer Alliance, right?]
[*Don't set a flag!*: I heard that of the six major guilds, the other five guild leaders each received a piece of the Scepter, but the Ghost Tamer Alliance did not. Your guild leader got anxious and came up with a bad idea. He spread rumors that there is a prop called the Scepter Sheath in this world, which is a mysterious container with runes of the 12 constellations engraved on it, which just corresponds to the 12 pieces of the Scepter scattered in the game world]
[*Don't set a flag!*: If you collect 12 pieces of the Scepter and merge them into the Scepter's sheath, you will have the hope of reforging the A-Staff, thus subverting the entire game world]
[*Don't set a flag!*: Because of this rumor, the guild leader called on the other five guild leaders to contribute the fragments in their hands, gather the power of the six guilds, and try to reforge the magic staff, so that the whole world can be controlled by them]
[*Don't set a flag!*: The other five guilds naturally wouldn't respond to his call. They just thought he was just being sour and came up with a lame excuse to steal the fragments.]
[*Don't set a flag!*: Later, the Ghost Tamer Alliance President also got a piece of the scepter fragment. He never mentioned the scepter sheath again, which further confirmed that it was just a rumor.]
[So, this dark room could be the container of the Scepter's Sheath?]
[Such an awesome container actually appears in a mid-level instance?]
[*ygs.qs*: At first glance, it doesn’t make sense, but if you think about it carefully, it’s because it’s in the intermediate dungeon that no one has found it for so long, right?]
[*Shorty and Fat*: Yes, in fact, although the president no longer mentioned it to the public, he never gave up looking for the sheath of the staff. It’s just that we always focus on the high-level maps and rarely involve the primary and intermediate maps. This is why we haven’t found any trace of it until now.]
[srds, just seeing 12 runes doesn’t mean anything, right? When I was alive, my classmates in school would play with divination cards, and there were many zodiac runes on them.]
[That’s right, this kind of constellation rune, every elementary school girl should have one, right?]
[*ygs.qs*: You are talking about the real world before your death. This is a copy of the game world. The constellation runes on the map are not something you can see casually.]
[*ygs.qs*: And you see the 12 runes on the door combined to form a shape that looks like a long and thick staff. If it were the constellation runes in card divination, they would rarely be deliberately combined into this shape.]
[*Shorty Fat Boy*: The point is, didn’t you see the housekeeper Jiang Xueying’s reaction after she saw the secret door?]
[*Shorty*: She was obviously afraid of the dark room, so she threatened Nine Times a Night like that]
[*Shorty Fat Boy*: You know, in this game, there are almost no props that can make a female ghost so scared just by looking at it]
[*Shorty*: But even so, it’s just speculation]
[*Shorty*: There is really no way to determine that the sheath of the Scepter is on the roof just based on a few constellation runes and the character's reaction]
[But after hearing what you said, I feel certain that this is definitely the legendary sheath of the divine staff!]
[So, we are really blessed this time?]
[I said, living in Mr. Ye’s live broadcast room will definitely not be wrong]
[Shit! So Boss Jiujiro, he must have guessed that this is the sheath of the divine staff long ago, right?]
[No wonder! I was wondering why he didn't just focus on the main quest and was obsessed with finding some hidden unit. It turns out he was after this awesome item!]
[Sure enough, Mr. Ye has foresight! We are on the first floor, and they are in the atmosphere!]
[dlnb]
……

……

Ye Da Lao, who was worshipped by the live broadcast room barrage, stepped on a chair and knocked along the gap of the secret door for a long time, and then came to a conclusion:
"Can't open."

He shrugged, jumped off the chair, looked at the time, and decided to put the matter of this dark room aside for the time being. He had more important things to do.

It is now 9:58, and it will be 10 o'clock in the evening in two minutes.

It's time to go out and look for his target!

Of course, Wen Nan knew very well that Jiang Xueying had instructed that guests were not allowed to leave the room after 10 o'clock during their stay.

But aren’t rules meant to be broken?
If Romeo hadn't climbed over the wall to play the piano downstairs every night, how would he have met his Juliet?
If Wen Nan didn't leave the guest room after the 10 o'clock curfew, how would he meet the little princess who, as the doctor said, would only go out after 10 o'clock?

Wen Nan still understands the basic routines of the love strategy game.

Looking at the time, Wen Nan left the room on time at ten o'clock, put his hands in his pockets, hummed a song, and walked downstairs.

The door to the fifth floor was closed, and no one was seen. The door to the fourth floor was also closed.

Wen Nan was surprised that his members were so well-behaved. Did they really stay in their rooms honestly and not come out during the specified time?

Shaking his head, Wen Nan turned in from the stairs on the fourth floor and prepared to take a look at the staff rooms on both sides.

As soon as he stepped onto the carpet in the corridor, Wen Nan's footsteps paused.

At the end of the corridor, under the dim light of the wall lamp, two girls who looked exactly the same, wearing dresses and pigtails, with pale faces and bleeding from all seven orifices, stared at Wen Nan with a sinister smile.

……

……

[F*ck! ]
[Green protects us]
[The downside of staying in this livestream room for too long is that you tend to forget that this is a horror game]
[Fuck, I almost died from fright repeatedly]
[No, why did she transform into a ghost? Isn't this the first time this female ghost has appeared? She hasn't met any players before, so why did she automatically reveal herself?]
[*Don't set a flag!*: This is a female ghost with a timed trigger. Ten o'clock is the trigger point for her transformation into a ghost.]
[Fuck, like a time bomb? There's absolutely no way to dodge it?]
[Why do you think the house rules state that you cannot leave the room after 10 o'clock?]
[Yes, only someone like Jiujiro who loves to commit suicide is still wandering around outside]
[But these two twin female ghosts are too exciting, are they The Shining? My uncanny valley effect has been stimulated like crazy!]
[To be honest, I feel like Jiujiro is going to be in trouble this time. Look, he's standing there for a long time without moving. Is he scared silly?]
[Fear? Has the boss finally developed a fear of female ghosts?]
……

……

Wen Nan was now in the corridor at the entrance of the stairs, staring at the two girls at the end for a few seconds, then he came to his senses and chuckled.

He said that he always felt something was strange, and it turned out that the "little princesses" were twins.

It's so rare to see twin sisters who look so alike and dress exactly the same, and they even appear in a love strategy game?
So if his target is one of them, how can he distinguish which one is the target in the future?

Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, two girls from the opposite side walked towards him. The girl on the right took the initiative to speak: "Brother, are you a guest of the villa?"

Wen Nan nodded, "You are... the hostess here?"

The two girls shook their heads together, in sync like a pendulum. "Sister is the owner of this villa. We are just the boarders she took in out of mercy."

Wen Nan followed the other person's words and asked, "Where is my sister?"

The two girls stopped talking. Their eyes, which were bleeding and had only whites but no pupils, stared straight at Wen Nan.

Wen Nan looked at them calmly, "Is it inconvenient to talk about it?"

The two girls still did not answer his question, but moved closer to him again. When their toes were almost touching the tip of Wen Nan's shoes, they stopped, and then, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed Wen Nan's wrists.

The two girls looked frail, and their fingers, clamped around Wen Nan's wrist, were like iron clamps, squeezing so hard that Wen Nan's bones hurt a little, and a somewhat frightening "click, click" sound was heard.

"Brother, can you accompany us...to relax?"

The girl accompanied carefully and asked.

Wen Nan smiled and nodded, "Of course."

……

……

On the east side of the third floor, room RL.

Xu Dongsheng sat on the ground, his back pressed against the door, his eyes fixed on the window in front of him, his whole body shaking like a ball of chaff.

Just now, he clearly saw a dark shadow flash past outside the window!

It's a ghost! It must be a ghost! I'm afraid it will break in through the window!
How to do?
In one of his hands, he was tightly clenching a piece of paper. The thin piece of paper was wrinkled by him, but he remembered the contents on it clearly without even reading it.

It was a set of check-in instructions, which only contained four simple points of attention:

Don’t touch little Y., don’t touch little P., don’t touch little W.;

Do not leave the guest room after 10 o'clock;

Please do not make loud noises in the corridor;

Do not touch the snowflake porcelain!!!
It was already past ten o'clock, and according to the house rules, he could not leave the room.

However, if he stayed in the guest room, would the dark shadow outside the window...sneak into his room?
Thinking of this, Xu Dongsheng shivered and closed his eyes tightly.

He relied on equipment and props to complete all the primary copies, but this intermediate copy locked the equipment slot from the beginning. This was too unfriendly for a player like him who was only level 2!
what to do? what to do? what to do?
Xu Dongsheng raised his head and banged the back of his head against the door, making a dull "dong dong dong" sound. He then blew the housekeeping instructions in his hand weakly to the ground.

The shag carpet on the ground seemed longer, softer, and denser than before, and it also had a warm touch...

……warmth?!

Xu Dongsheng was so frightened that he withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He suddenly opened his eyes and found that a tuft of orange hair had stretched out from the crack of the door where he was sitting at some point!

"what!"

He cried out in fright, jumped up from the ground, took a few steps back, and retreated to the bedside. Then he stopped and looked vigilantly towards the crack in the door.

The tuft of orange hair just now shrank back with a "whoosh".

After a while, a very soft cry came from outside the door: "Meow~"

Cat? Orange cat?

"Little Y., don't run around." Immediately afterwards, a female voice came in.

When Xu Dongsheng heard the name, his face turned pale.

Little Y.? Was that Little Y.'s tail sticking out from the crack in the door just now?
So, he accidentally touched Xiao Y.?!
Xu Dongsheng stretched out his hand tremblingly and stared at his palm, as if he was petrified.

"Ho."

There was a breathing sound next to his ear, very close, as if it was right behind him.

Xu Dongsheng turned around stiffly and saw a long-tongued female ghost with purple skin, a broken neck and her head tilted to one side standing in front of him!

"what--!"

Xu Dongsheng couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed out of the door in fear, his eyes closed, and following his instinct, he felt his way to the stairs, then climbed all the way up, shouting:

"President! Help!"

"...Xu Dongsheng?"

Just after climbing one floor, I heard the familiar voice of the president coming from the corridor.

Xu Dongsheng stopped and opened his eyes as if he had met a savior. "Great—"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw two identical female ghosts standing on the left and right of the president...

"what--!"

Xu Dongsheng completely collapsed and turned around and ran downstairs.

He closed his eyes tightly, stretched out his hands, wailed all the way, and ran forward with his head down.

He didn't know how long he had been running when his hand suddenly touched something cold and hard. He shivered in fear and retracted his hand. Then -

Wow!

The crisp sound of porcelain breaking reached my ears.

Xu Dongsheng opened his eyes and realized that he had run to the restaurant door without knowing when.

Accidentally, he smashed one of the two long-necked vases at the entrance into pieces.

Looking at the snowflake porcelain fragments scattered on the ground, Xu Dongsheng fell into despair.

It’s over! It's all over now!

He violated all four items written in the accommodation instructions...

That housekeeper will definitely not let him go!

Thinking of this, Xu Dongsheng collapsed to the ground, looking straight ahead with empty eyes. However, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in his peripheral vision.

He shuddered with fear and turned around to see Jiang Xueying lying straight beside him.

ghost? !

Xu Dongsheng was so scared that he turned around and was about to run, but in his mind, he heard a system prompt -

WC: [A murder case has been detected near you. Do you want to report it? ]

Homicide?

Xu Dongsheng turned back in disbelief and looked at the housekeeper who was lying on the ground with her back facing up.

She...is dead? !
