Chapter 108: People are scary, scary to death
Listen, what are you talking about?
A large group of men followed her seeking protection.
What does this sound like?
The floorboards creaked, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.
"Brother Kai, don't hold my hand. It will affect my performance later."
Fu Tianyu felt a little disgusted and wanted to push Xu Kai away.
Xu Kai suddenly became confident and said, "There is strength in numbers. Two of us are better than one."
It sounds like it makes sense.
Fu Tianyu was too lazy to argue with him and followed Jiang Yu closely.
At this moment, Jiang Yu suddenly reached out and pushed open the door of a guest room.
The guest rooms are filled with old furniture and spider webs in the corners, giving them a feeling of being abandoned for a long time.
There is a mirror in the center of the room.
The mirror was covered with a white cloth.
According to the guide at the door, they need to uncover the mirror to get clues to pass the level.
Jiang Yu had just put his hand on the white cloth when he heard Xu Kai suddenly yell, "Wait a minute!"
Not only Jiang Yu was startled, but everyone else was also frightened.
"Fuck! Xu Kai, what's wrong with you?"
Li Ze slapped him hard on the back.
Scary, scary to death!
"I'm just afraid that a female ghost will crawl out of that mirror."
Xu Kai shrank his neck. It was also his subconscious reaction.
I can't control it at all, okay!
Jiang Yu ignored him, exhaled heavily, reached out his hand, and tore open the white cloth.
This floor-standing dressing mirror has a frame made of retro European wood carvings.
However, when Jiang Yu stood in front of the mirror, he could not see her figure.
In the mirror, there was only a silhouette in a white dress.
Others walked forward, but they also couldn't see him.
Suddenly, all the lights in the room went out.
"Damn! What's going on?"
Xu Kai couldn't help yelling, so Fu Tianyu had to cover his mouth with his hand, "Stop yelling, it will attract ghosts."
The room was dark.
There was only a mirror, emitting a faint blue light.
The figure in the mirror slowly turns around...
Just when they were about to face each other, the figure in the mirror suddenly disappeared.
Almost instantly, a cold atmosphere filled the room. The strange sound was like a snake spitting out its tongue, which made people feel chilled.
Jiang Yu touched the mirror lightly with his fingertips.
At this time, a piece of text appeared on the mirror:
The inner elixir of the ancient mythical beast Zhulong leads the way to light and drives away darkness. If you obtain this treasure, you can conquer the world and bless all living beings.
"Now we have to look for Zhulong's inner elixir. Where are the clues to the mission?"
Jiang Feibai looked up at the ceiling. Above the mirror, the chandelier was a red spider lily.
"We are going to the secret room with the red spider lily pattern. There should be a treasure chest inside."
Jiang Feibai often plays escape room games, so he is familiar with the routines of these games.
Jiang Yu shook her head at this time and walked to the back of the mirror.
I found that there were tiny spots of light in the black mass projected on the ground, forming the pattern of an eye.
"The treasure should be related to this eye pattern."
After listening to Jiang Yu's analysis, Jiang Feibai touched his chin and said, "The red spider lily symbolizes the end and impermanence of life. I think it fits the game's logic better."
"The inner elixir of the Candle Dragon is its eye. If we are looking for it, I am more inclined to this clue."
Jiang Yu's inference made Jiang Feibai suddenly enlightened.
"If the inner elixir of the Candle Dragon is its eye, then the pattern of the eye is the best clue."
Fu Tianyu looked at Jiang Yu with admiration, "Sister Yu'er, you are so awesome!"
Fu Chenzhou, who was standing next to Jiang Yu, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a hint of "It's an honor to walk with you".
Xu Kai was curious, "Yu Bao, how do you know that the inner elixir of the candle dragon is its eyes?"
Because Zhulong is Jiangyu’s pet.
How could she not know?
He just said perfunctorily, "I've read about it in a book before, but it's just a legend after all, so I can only give it a try."
The group began to look for eye patterns in the room.
Finally, Jiang Yu noticed the dressing table in the corner.
She squatted down and took a closer look.
I found the wooden floor was covered with dust, except for one spot which was clean.
She reached out and touched the wooden floor, then pressed down hard.
click-
The sound of a mechanism being triggered caused an oil painting on the wall to slowly open.
It turned out that the oil painting was made into a door.
There is a square cabinet with an antique box inside.
There is a huge eye pattern engraved on the box.
"How do you open the box?"
Fu Tianyu tilted his head and looked at Fu Chenzhou, "Brother, how about swiping your black card? Maybe it will open it."
Fu Chenzhou gave him a look that said "idiot" and let him figure it out himself.
Jiang Feibai walked around the room, his eyes still fixed on the chandelier in the shape of the red spider lily, "Could the key be inside that lamp?"
"That lampshade is sealed."
Li Ze rolled his eyes at him and continued, "Are you attracted by that chandelier? Why not just place an order for the same model and hang it in your bedroom so you can see it every day when you sleep."
Jiang Feibai snorted, "Why don't you help me think of some clues? All you know is to whine and make sarcastic remarks."
"In my opinion, what key are you looking for? Just break it open!"
Fu Tianyu is impatient and his proposal is simple and crude.
Jiang Yu walked around the mirror carefully.
With a nonchalant look on his face, he spoke after some consideration, "If this is the starting point of the puzzle, then the answer should be on it."
Her fingers gently stroked the wood carvings on the edge of the mirror.
The soft fingertips stroked across the delicate and intricate patterns one by one.
Until she felt a bulge that looked like an eye.
After a strong scratch, a small piece of the wooden lid suddenly fell off, revealing the groove inside.
In the groove lay a delicate copper key.
"Wow, I found the key!"
Fu Tianyu was looking at Jiang Yu at this moment, his eyes full of admiring little stars.
"Fuck! Yubao, 666! From now on I will be your crazy fan!"
Xu Kai is a gaming black hole and has never completed any game.
Jiang Feibai was a little depressed. Today, his title of "Little Prince of Games" was shattered to pieces.
What is the red spider lily chandelier?
He went back and ordered one, then smashed it to pieces to vent his hatred.
Jiang Yu took out the key and handed it to Fu Tianyu, "Open the box."
Fu Tianyu took it and unlocked it with a click.
Opening the box, a white round bead was placed on the blue velvet cloth inside.
He took it out and handed it to Jiang Yu, "Sister Yu'er, what is this for?"
Jiang Yu held the bead, which was the size of a ping-pong ball, and turned it over and over to study it.
Finally, gather your strength and give it a pinch.
There was actually a map hidden inside the broken beads.
"Great! This should be the topographic map to get out of the room!"
Fu Tianyu excitedly took the map and led the way.
With the map, the group quickly walked out of the Ghost Inn.
Outside, the sun is blinding.
Jiang Yu raised his hand to block it.
