Xuan Mu nodded in understanding, and caught a glimpse of the fitter's tools on the table from the corner of his eye: "...what are you doing?"

"A screw on the chainsaw is loose, I tightened it up a little bit," Shi Qi glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "It's getting late, why don't you go take a shower first?"

"Okay." Xuan Mu yawned wearily, got up and went to the bathroom.

The two of them tossed and tossed for most of the night yesterday, Xuan Mu's whole body was still a little sore, and the drowsiness also swept over him overwhelmingly.After washing up, they lowered the shutter, made the bed and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, after the four of them ate two breakfasts together, they took all the clues and headed straight for the corridor without wasting any time.

"4567?" Xuan Mu raised his hand and touched the screen.

Shi Qi nodded.

Xuan Mu quickly entered the four-digit password, and there was a loud 'click' from the wall, and the bronze door moved slowly in response to the sound. As expected, there were Li Kuangyu and Ling Luo behind the door.

Before he had time to say anything, there was a 'pop' sound from above the corridor, and the surrounding air suddenly became a little noisy.

"Let's go." Shi Qi quickly reacted and quickly led them upstairs.

I saw that the bronze door that had been closed by them opened at some point, and the picture frames chasing them in the promenade and the patrolling children in masks squeezed into the corridor one by one, rushing towards them with teeth and claws.

When Qi Yuguang glanced towards the direction of the first floor, he saw that the bronze door had been opened a small crack, and motioned Li Kuangyu Lingluo to go up and knock on the door.

He raised his hand and pushed the switch of the chainsaw, and chopped off the pounced ghosts in half, while Xuan Mu raised his leg suddenly to sweep them away.

After a while, Li Kuangyu yelled at them, and Xuan Mu quickly grabbed Shi Qi and rushed to the first floor.

After closing the door firmly with his backhand, the ghost still persevered in banging on the door for a long time. After realizing that the door was too strong, the movement became quieter, and finally stopped slowly.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

They then looked towards the promenade, and saw more than a dozen lit fire rings neatly arranged in the front road, blocking their way.

The ground on both sides of the corridor is inlaid with the gears of the spiral meat grinder, which rotates crazily back and forth, making shockingly loud noises.The overall decoration is resplendent and magnificent, with huge crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, much more luxurious than the basement floor.

"You have to jump through a fire hoop to get there?" Li Kuangyu was stunned.

"..." Ling Luo felt the heat wave coming in front of her, and took a few steps back in disgust, "I don't really want to jump."

Xuan Mu thought for a while, then turned his head and looked at Qi at the same time: "How about...?"

"En." Shi Qi nodded clearly, and decisively chopped the chainsaw towards the fire circle.

He quickly saw the edge of the fire ring into strips, and after falling pieces to the ground, the fierce burning flames on it were extinguished one after another, and the surrounding light dimmed a little instantly.

"Let's go," Shi Qi turned off the chainsaw switch, and urged, "Be careful, don't fall on the meat grinder."

"...No way." Xuan Mu looked at the gears on the ground with fear in his heart.

Everyone opened several ordinary rooms one by one along the corridor, and found no difference, and then came to a living room that seemed familiar, and tried to open the coffin lid in the center.

Before he had time to think, he saw the thick bones inside spliced ​​together in an instant, and rushed towards them.

Shi Qi pushed the chainsaw forward violently, and beat the skeleton back into the coffin. Xuan Mu quickly and tacitly closed the coffin lid again, and moved the table from the side to press it firmly.

"Tsk," Xuan Mu patted the ashes on his hands, and muttered, "They're all alive."

Shi Qi nodded, turned his head and told Li Kuangyu and Ling Luo: "You should find something to defend yourself, it's almost time to clear the level."

Now that Xuanmu has enough experience, the cooperation is more tacit, and his own high force value does not worry him much.

Li Kuangyu and Ling Luo responded quickly, and took a brick and an iron rod from the corner respectively.

After searching forward for a while, everyone pushed open a tall iron door, only to see that it was pitch black inside, full-length mirrors were embedded on the walls in all directions, and some circus costumes and performance props were placed on the floor.

It's like a rehearsal room.

Xuan Mu took out the flashlight from his pocket, walked a few steps in tentatively, and found a small red switch on the side of the door.

"Press it?" Xuan Mu turned his head and asked Shi Qi.

Shi Qi hesitated for a while, then nodded, "Try."

Xuan Mu raised his hand and turned the switch down. After a few seconds of silence, there were a few loud 'cracking' noises all around, and the mirror on the wall suddenly shattered, and it seemed that there was a huge display hidden inside.

The screen slowly lit up, and a miserable scream came from inside, and Xuan Mu was frightened.

I saw a thin and thin girl being grabbed by several tall men and pressed her hands and feet to the ground, sobbing and crying softly. Another young woman in sexy clothes sat at the end of the bed with her legs crossed, took a sip of the red wine in her hand, and said playfully. Looking at the scene in front of him.

The girl frantically wanted to break free, and was screaming something, her messy hair covered most of her face.

"Ah," Ling Luo seemed to think of something, "This is... the luxurious room we first saw!"

Xuan Mu took a few steps forward, carefully discerning the content of the girl's words, and found that she seemed to be calling the name 'Ali' in a low voice.

He immediately remembered the diary he saw in the first room, and turned to look at Shi Qi, "The person sitting at the end of the bed... should be the 'Sister Ali' in the diary."

Shi Qi nodded.

The girl struggled to get to the end of the bed, stretched out her trembling hands to 'Ali' who was sitting at the end of the bed, and yelled 'help me' vaguely.

However, 'Ali' poured the red wine in the glass onto the girl's hair, and then smashed the red wine glass to the ground.The fragments of the wine glass bounced off the ground, piercing the girl's face, drawing a long bloodstain.

Ali put down her crossed legs, stood up and squatted in front of the girl, grabbed the girl's hair and raised her head, and smiled contemptuously, "You don't deserve it."

The moment they saw the girl's face clearly, everyone's movements suddenly stopped in place.

"This..." Xuan Mu pointed at the girl in the video in disbelief, "This is not..."

Li Kuangyu took a step back in horror: "Xia... Xia Yue?!"

Shi Qi didn't react too much, as if he had noticed it a long time ago, he stared at the display screen intently.

Xuan Mu remembered the possibility that they speculated that 'the player will become an npc after death', and turned to look at Li Kuangyu, "...didn't she escape with you in the last round?"

"Yes..." Li Kuangyu said quickly, "We escaped after you!"

Xuan Mu froze for a moment, and wanted to say something, but was immediately brought back to his thoughts by a scream on the screen.

They were frantically tearing the clothes of 'Xia Yue' in the film, while 'Ali' set up the camera in front of the bed, adjusted and turned on the video recording function, and recorded the atrocity in its entirety.

After all, he was a teammate who had been with him before, Xuan Mu couldn't bear to see such a scene, and slightly moved his eyes away.

After the atrocity lasted for several minutes, a flash of white light flashed across the screen. 'Ali' tied the dying Xia Yue to the cross in the center of the stage, poured gasoline on the cross, and set the cross on fire. .

The raging fire engulfed Xia Yue's body, spreading the canvas that was burned on the background, and the whole stage quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

At that time, Qi Yuguang caught a glimpse of a piece of paper floating down from the ceiling, raised his hand to take it, and saw it clearly with the light of the flashlight, and found that it was a playing card 'K'.

Then there was a 'pop' from the wall, the screen went off, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became a little gloomy.

"Go!" Shi Qi Xin had a bad premonition, and shouted at them, and then a wave of heat hit them from behind.

Everyone rushed out of the rehearsal room, Shi Qi closed the door back with his backhand, and there was a continuous sound of explosions in the room immediately, and dancing flames kept coming out through the crack of the door.

"Damn it!" Li Kuangyu covered his beating heart, "I almost died..."

After confirming that the fire would not spread, Xuan Mu also let out a long sigh of relief, moved to Shi Qi's side, and looked at the playing card together.

Shi Qi Jingjing thought for a while, then shook the playing card in Xuan Mu's hand, "This card represents the 'king'."

"...King?" Xuan Mu seemed to have thought of something, "The name of the No. [-] Tarot card...is it called 'Emperor'?"

"Yes," Shi Qi said, "Do you still remember the actress we saw in the circus park last time?"

Xuan Mu nodded: "I remember."

"At that time, she was holding a ball in her left hand and a scepter in her right hand," Shi Qi said, "it happened to be the pattern of the emperor's Tarot card."

Xuan Mu immediately remembered that when he saw the actress in the Circus Paradise, he saw her as Xia Yue at first sight, but later the two guessed that the appearance of the npc would change with the player's thinking.

"Is it really Xia Yue?" Xuan Mu asked, "...is she an npc?"

"It may also be because of the failure of customs clearance that it became an npc." Shi Qi put the card in his pocket and continued to walk along the corridor, "but I think it is more likely that it was an npc."

Xuan Mu nodded.

He recalled that in the first game, Xia Yue took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of uniting everyone from the beginning. He should have belonged to the leading role in the team, but at the end of the game, his sense of presence weakened sharply, and his behavior was not in line with it. Common sense.

It's like... a beginner's guide.

They quickly reached the end of the corridor, and then saw the familiar display screen on the side of the iron door. They raised their hands and touched it, and there was a three-digit password box on it.

"Where do we have any password?" Ling Luo was stunned.

"Three digits?" Xuan Mu turned to look at Shi Qi, "Date?"

Shi Qi tried to extract the month and day that he had obtained the password before, and entered '101' on it, only to see a big cross appear on the screen immediately.
