Leng Shuang held the dagger and slashed down.
The tentacles that jumped out were chopped off and retracted.
But Leng Shuang felt the force coming back from the dagger, which was at least three points stronger than yesterday.
This strange power has become even stronger.
“Asuna…”
Lin Ye shouted,
But in fact, Asuna knew what to do without Lin Ye's shouting. She supported the sleeping maid and rushed to the entrance of the bedroom.
"Your daughter is in our hands."
As the words fell, the riot of the black shadows calmed down a little.
"We don't want to hurt her,"
"We just want to get out of here."
[Skill Persuasion LV3] is in use.
"We don't know where he is that you love."
The sound of 'Shua...Shua...' suddenly became stronger, and the black shadow became slightly restless.
Asuna's heart was in suspense.
"But the eldest lady on the fourth floor, Aggie Carter, must know where he is."
Diverting trouble to the east?
But now Asuna and the other two can only trust Lin Ye. At least until now, the black shadow has not been attacking frantically.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, the black shadow waved its tentacles again, and Lin Ye immediately said, "If you believe in us, we will find him tomorrow and let you see him again."
The black shadow's movements froze for a moment.
"Asuna, return Miss Lisa to this lady."
Return people?
Return the hostages?
Asuna hesitated, but seeing Lin Ye's serious look, she gritted her teeth and helped the maid walk towards the bedroom door.
Each step,
She walked with great heaviness.
Leng Shuang stared intently, clenching the dagger in his hand, and passers-by also had cold sweat on their foreheads.
This is the first time I’ve seen a player like Lin Ye who survives by talking to weird people.
Lin Ye placed his right hand on the bracelet on his left hand and stroked it gently.
If necessary, and fighting is unavoidable, he will have to call on Kuroshima Miyuki for support.
A few seconds passed, and it felt like several hours. Asuna helped the silver-haired maid to the black shadow at the door. After making sure that the silver-haired maid was supported by a pitch-black tentacle, she carefully retreated.
"We will do our best to help you."
[Persuasion Skill LV3] is still in effect.
The two sides remained in a stalemate for ten seconds, and this strange silence finally came to an end.
There was a rustling sound, and the black shadow retreated, taking the silver-haired maid Lisa away with her.
The second floor returned to silence again.
"Go to the next room,"
Lin Ye's voice was a little hoarse.
"it is good,"
Asuna saw Lin Ye holding his head with one hand, his body swaying a little, so she immediately walked over and supported Lin Ye, "What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?"
Were you traumatized during the brief battle just now?
Asuna's face was filled with worry.
"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy. I'll be fine after a rest."
The continuous use of the persuasion skill LV3 puts a considerable strain on the mind.
But now at least they have succeeded in persuading the weirdness to retreat, buying them more time.
The four of them came to room 202.
The moment the door closed, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"I've made it through tonight."
Passersby exclaimed, "Brother Lin, you are really awesome!"
Whether considering that the maid could be an important person to deal with the weirdness, or returning the maid in the end to show his goodwill, it was something he could not imagine.
If he could think of the former, then the latter was a method he definitely could not think of.
It is impossible for him, who is holding hostages, to return them in order to seek the other party's "kindness".
"It was just a fluke."
Leng Shuang spoke up at this time, "If we return the maid, the other party will still plan to attack us!"
"What else can we do? Of course we should keep fighting."
Lin Ye’s answer was simple.
He won't die, and Asuna won't die either. As a level 4 player, Leng Shuang definitely has the ability to protect himself. In other words, if someone is really going to be killed mysteriously, it can only be a passerby.
Passers-by also know this.
Now this result is the best for him.
"Hold on until tomorrow noon, and we can leave here."
Facing the sighs of passers-by, Lin Ye shook his head and said, "It won't be that simple, be prepared!"
So far, Lin Ye's judgments have been accurate, so Asuna and the other two did not feel any heavier when faced with Lin Ye's predictions about the day.
If you want to pass the level successfully, it seems you still have to find the 'master'.
Bedroom 202,
Lin Ye and Asuna lay on the bed to rest, Leng Shuang sat on a chair, and as for passers-by, the floor was their resting place.
As the room fell silent, soon, the sound of light breathing was heard.
All four of them were tired.
Especially Lin Ye, who fell asleep the earliest.
By the time his sleepy consciousness slowly returned, it was already early morning.
Lin Ye opened his eyes, looked at the gloomy weather outside the window, listened to the sound of the drizzle, and sighed softly.
"Have you thought of it a long time ago?"
This was the question coming from Leng Shuang who was sitting on the chair. She woke up earlier than Lin Ye.
"It's just a guess,"
It's raining,
The villa was covered in rain.
This means that monsters that only appear at night can now appear during the day.
Asuna and the passers-by woke up one after another, and after noticing the weather outside, they also realized the dangerous situation.
"Let's see if there are any new notes first! Miss Leng, can you please go to the next room and take a look?"
The weirdness entered three guest rooms last night. If the pattern of the "notes" they analyzed and judged is correct, there is a note in each of rooms 202 and 203. As for whether there is a note in room 204, it is not completely certain.
Leng Shuang nodded and walked over. She saw the note on the cabinet. She did not pick it up, but left the bedroom and went directly to the two guest rooms next door to retrieve the note.
"Three cards, the order of reading should be 202,203, 204 and ."
This was the order in which he entered and exited the bedroom mysteriously last night.
Lin Ye took it and looked at the fourth note.
She comforted me,
It's not my fault.
【It's his fault,】
[If he hadn't tried to violate her, how could he have died! ]
[And I am a hero, the hero who protected her,]
[I shouldn’t blame myself and live in guilt. ]
……
The fifth note.
【I had a nightmare.】
[I dreamed about my mother's thoughts about him and her wish to see him again.]
[I also dreamed that he came from the basement, cursing me for being ungrateful, killing him, and killing my mother.]
[I am in great pain, I blame myself endlessly, this is all my fault. ]
[I want to commit suicide, but she will be more miserable than me! ]
So, I really want to forget all this.
[It would be great if I could lose my memory. 】
……
……
The sixth note.
【She happily told me that she had found a way to make me feel relaxed. 】
【My pain and guilt can disappear forever. 】
【I am willing, no matter what the cost. 】
【I became her, I had everything she had,】
【Now, my name is Lisa. 】
【What about her, who lives in this world bearing everything I have? 】
【But I always feel that she has changed. 】
……
……
Information here,
It's quite clear.
The information combined on the six pieces of paper was enough for Lin Ye and the other four players to understand the background of this strange dungeon mission.
"Lisa, um, it should be Miss Carter, the original owner of the villa. She witnessed him, the master, violating the maid. She took action to protect the maid, but it resulted in the master's death."
"As expected, the master's body is in the basement."
Lin Ye pointed to the third paragraph of the fifth note.
