Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

Shi Qi walked to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. She calmed down and began to search for clues in the room that might be useful.

On the worn-out table, Shi Qi found a yellowed piece of paper with a line of blurry handwriting on it: "Search, find..., open, the room..."

Shi Qi stared at the yellowed note, carefully identifying the words on it, "Looking for... opening the room..." She repeated softly, with a hint of doubt and thought in her voice.

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by the old painting on the wall. The mysterious forest and the half-open stone door in the painting were very similar to the forest they encountered when they came here.

A flash of inspiration came to Shi Qi's mind, as if a ray of light illuminated the fog of her thoughts, "Could it be... that this painting contains clues to open the door?" she said to herself.

She approached the painting and carefully observed every detail. Suddenly, she noticed a tiny bulge in the lower right corner of the painting. The color was slightly different from the surrounding area, which seemed to be a mechanism that could be pressed. Shi Qi reached out and tentatively pressed the bulge.

With a "click" sound, the painting slowly moved away, revealing a small grid hidden behind it. Shi Qi's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly reached in to feel around, and soon she took out an ancient key.

Shi Qi walked towards the door with the key and slowly inserted it into the lock. With a light "click", the door opened and a stale smell came to his face.

The moment Shi Qi stepped out of the door, the game prompt sound reached Shi Qi's ears.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully opening the door and participating in the game within the specified time. Please be prepared. After the countdown ends, the teleportation will begin. Ten, nine, eight... two, one, start teleporting. ]

As the countdown ended, Shi Qi felt a flash in front of his eyes, and the surrounding scenery began to become blurry and distorted.

Then, Shi Qi fell into a coma. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself sitting on a chair. There was a large round table in front of the chair. There were 15 chairs beside it, plus the chair Shi Qi was sitting on. All of them were occupied. However, all of them were lying on the table, unconscious.

Shi Qi looked around and found himself in a spacious banquet hall. There were gorgeous crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Although they were not lit at the moment, one could still imagine the dazzling scene when they were lit. There were exquisite murals hanging on the surrounding walls, depicting the prosperity and splendor of the castle.

"Where... is this?" Shi Qi was full of doubts. She gently pushed the people next to her, trying to wake them up, but they didn't respond at all, as if they were in a deep sleep.

At this moment, a beam of light suddenly lit up in the center of the banquet hall, and a magician dressed in retro clothes and a tall hat walked out slowly, with a mysterious smile on his face and a thin magic wand in his hand.

"Welcome to the banquet hall of the castle. Hello, I'm Xiao A, the referee of this dungeon. Please don't try to wake them up. They are completing the task of entering the dungeon." Xiao A's voice echoed in the empty banquet hall. "Wait until all the players are in the state, and then I will explain the rules to you."

After Xiao A finished speaking, the banquet hall fell into darkness again. There was silence all around, with only the sound of Shi Qi's breathing and the occasional strange "dong dong dong" sound coming from afar.

She looked around, trying to find a clue from the sleeping players, but everyone seemed to be under a spell and was motionless.

At this moment, Shi Qi noticed that the key in her hand had turned into a glimmer of light and merged into her palm, leaving a faint mark. She was moved. Could it be that this key was not only a tool to open the door, but also had other uses?

Just as she was lost in thought, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly came on again.

Another sleeping player woke up. He rubbed his eyes and looked around in confusion, obviously puzzled by this sudden change.

Xiao A repeated to that person what he had just said to Shi Qi, and then he and Shi Qi looked at each other without saying a word, quietly waiting for the others to wake up.

As time went by, more noises were heard in the banquet hall, and the sleeping players woke up one by one. They rubbed their eyes or looked around, with confusion and puzzlement written all over their faces. Among these people, Xingchen and Mu Qingru were not there.

Finally, when the last player slowly opened his eyes, Xiao A cleared his throat and officially began his explanation: "Dear players, welcome to the "Castle Terror" dungeon."

The rules of the game are as follows:

One: If you find a locked door, don’t force it open

2: After night falls, the rules in the castle will undergo unknown changes

3. Every player has one chance to ask for help, but please use it with caution. Once the chance is used up, you will not be able to get it again.

4. Do not attempt to destroy any items in the castle, otherwise it may trigger unpredictable consequences.

5. The time in the dungeon is not synchronized with the real world. Please do not rely too much on your watch to judge the time.

6. When you hear the bell ringing, no matter where you are, please immediately find the nearest shelter

7: In the castle, you may encounter seemingly harmless animals, but they may be controlled by magic, so be careful

8. The basement of the castle is a forbidden area. Do not enter it easily unless you have a good reason and are prepared.

9. The mirror in the castle may reflect different scenes, sometimes it is your past, sometimes it may be a harbinger of the future, but never trust yourself in the mirror

10: In the castle at night, candles and torches are precious resources. They not only provide light, but also can dispel evil forces to a certain extent.

11. If you feel lost or confused, try to return to the ballroom, which may be the key to regaining your direction.

12: The above content is for reference only, please keep up the good work, players! ! ! ]

After listening to Xiao A's detailed introduction to the rules, Shi Qi and other players all showed solemn expressions on their faces. These rules have bugs, especially Article 12. Strictly speaking, it can overturn all the above rules, which is equivalent to making the other rules above become null and void.

Just as everyone was secretly muttering in their hearts and full of doubts about the rules, Little A seemed to see through their thoughts and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Haha, don’t be nervous, players. Although the rules are complicated, this is also the charm of “Castle Terror”.

Of course, the rules are just for you to see, and you don’t have to follow them. If something goes wrong, then... we’ll never see each other again.

Remember, wisdom and courage will be the key to your survival in this instance." Little A gently waved his magic wand, and a huge castle map suddenly appeared in the center of the banquet hall, marking the locations of various rooms, corridors, and shelters.

"This map will serve as your guide, but remember, it only shows the situation on your current floor. The castle is divided into three floors, and different challenges and opportunities are waiting for you on each floor." There was a hint of temptation in Xiao A's words, as if luring them into an unknown abyss.

Shi Qi stared at the map, thinking secretly in her mind. She noticed that there was a place marked as "basement entrance" on the map. Although the rules mentioned that the basement was a forbidden area, her intuition told her that there might be important clues hidden there.

"So, what should we do now?" A player named Huo Yuan broke the silence, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Little A smiled, took out a small hourglass from his sleeve, and gently placed it on the table. "I will give you an hour to get familiar with the environment, your game roles, and make a plan. When the hourglass runs out, the real game will begin."

Everyone quickly took action, checked the surroundings, and familiarized themselves with their identity information...

Here, when Xingchen opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a dim library. The bookshelves were filled with ancient books, and the air was filled with a faint scent of ink and a barely perceptible smell of mold.
