"Boss..."

Lin Kuo was still repeatedly touching the grain on the wooden door, and Li Yinan, who was standing aside, called out in a low voice.It took a long time for Lin Kuo to realize that Li Yinan was calling him, so he turned his head to look at her.

Li Yinan pointed to the door on the left behind him, with a surprisingly ugly expression on his face.Not only her, but also the faces of other people became serious.

Lin Kuo withdrew his hand and half turned to look at the room Li Yinan was pointing at.

A middle-aged man stood by the door and looked at the crowd. The muscles on his face trembled slightly, as if a patient with facial paralysis was trying to force a smile: "Morning..."

Such a smile is not lacking in weirdness, and everyone lowered their heads and missed his sight.

"This should be an NPC." Liang Sihong glanced at him and then set his eyes on Lin Kuo. Although Lin Kuo gave him a "smiling tiger" evaluation without shame, everyone who participated in the copy of "Intruder" , Liang Sihong felt that only Lin Kuo was more reliable.

In life, a thigh is more important than anything else.

"Generally speaking." Liang Sihong approached Lin Kuo and shared his dungeon experience in a low voice: "Npc will provide important clues for this kind of survival dungeon."

Lin Kuo stayed away from Liang Sihong calmly, and then looked at the NPC Liang Sihong was talking about. From his clothes and standing posture, it can be judged that he is playing the role of the housekeeper of the villa.Behind him is a round dining table with steaming food on it.

"Please take a seat." The butler said.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Lin Kuo after hearing the words, focusing their eyes on the center. Lin Kuo lived up to everyone's expectations and entered the restaurant first, walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

When Li Yinan was about to follow Lin Kuo into the door, she happened to catch a glimpse of the housekeeper by the door. She suddenly became ill, and followed Lin Kuo's footsteps and was nailed to the spot.

The housekeeper's face seemed to be convulsed, and the faintly visible smile just now had faded away, leaving only the eyes that were as big as copper bells, and the cold eyes were firmly locked on Lin Kuo.

As Lin Kuo took his seat, the butler went forward to set the tableware.

Li Yinan was thinking of reminding Lin Kuo, and saw that Lin Kuo had already eaten it calmly.

Only then did Li Yinan bite the bullet and sit next to Lin Kuo, whispering: "Boss, this NPC's eyes are so scary, have you noticed?"

Lin Kuo, who was eating deep-fried dough sticks, heard the words and glanced sideways at the butler: "Hmm."

Li Yinan: "..."

Seeing this, everyone pushed me into the restaurant.

The round table seats eight people, and one room is vacant after seven people are seated, but they are afraid to touch the food on the table.

Lin Kuo ignored them and ate his own. Probably because he set an example, Li Yinan picked up the spoon and prepared to start.

The food on the table is the usual Chinese breakfast.

The newcomers didn't see anything unusual, and this kind of normality seemed the most abnormal in this weird world. Someone asked tremblingly, "This...is this stuff really edible?"

The man with the scar said irritably, "Eat."

The rookie who was forced to open the door by the man with the scar said, "Then why don't you eat?" And you want us to step on mines for you."

The man with the scar was stabbed in the center of his mind, and roared angrily: "You are fucking looking for death."

Wang Miao is also a vigorous young man. Before, she was in a disadvantaged position because of fear. Now that she has built her heart, she is no longer timid about the scarred man: "I will definitely take you with me when I die."

The word 'death' is really harsh, and the ugly faces of the people around are even uglier.The man with the scar couldn't hear the word even more, he rolled up his sleeve and wanted to do it.

"Enough!" Liang Sihong pressed the scarred man: "Breakfast is no problem, as Lin Kuo said, the NPC didn't force you to choose fried dough sticks or soy milk, and there was no time limit on how many minutes to finish eating. Breakfast should be Part of the dungeon plot, the choice that will really kill you is yet to come."

Lin Kuo was still unmoved by his own words. He reached for the egg in the center of the dining table, and paused when he touched the egg.

Both Liang Sihong and Li Yinan noticed Lin Kuo's insignificant pause, and asked in unison, "What's wrong?"

Now the man with the scar and Wang Miao also stopped arguing, everyone's eyes once again focused on Lin Kuo, and then moved from him to his fingers.

The barrage in the live broadcast room was also brushed up:

[The anchor found a problem? 】

[Let me just say, it’s been almost an hour, how could there be no substantial progress]

【Is God S still there? 】

【Weakly calling God S】

[The housekeeper's eyes are so terrifying, God S protects the body! 】

Under the endless calls, Shengwen typed:

[S: Hands are beautiful]

【…】

【? ? ? 】

Lin Kuo's hands are beautiful, with distinct joints and slender fingers. Especially when holding a paintbrush, the posture of holding the brush will protrude the tendons and joints. Compared with Lin Kuo's paintings, his hands are more like works of art for people to appreciate .

"One is missing." Lin Kuo withdrew his hand and said lightly.

Without the cover of his hand, everyone could see clearly that there were only 6 eggs on the dinner plate, but there were 7 of them.

Without waiting for everyone to put on a frightened expression, the butler pushed the dining cart to their side. There was a 1.5-liter carton of milk and several cups on the dining cart.

The butler unscrewed the milk cap and poured it into a glass.

He put the cups of milk on the table one by one. Lin Kuo counted the number of cups on the table. When he counted to '6', the butler was pouring the seventh cup of milk.

As soon as the milky white liquid was poured into the bottom of the cup, the butler suddenly stopped, showing a more frightened expression than everyone else: "I'm sorry, I... I counted wrong."

As he said that, he frantically screwed the milk cap back on. Regardless of the bewilderment on everyone's faces, he took away an extra tableware from the table, and said in a trembling voice, "Now...now...now it's right."

silence.

It wasn't until the butler pushed the dining car away, and the sound of the wheels disappeared in the restaurant, that everyone still hadn't recovered.

"What... do you mean?" Li Yinan didn't dare to touch the food on the table anymore.

No one answered her, and Nuo Da's restaurant could only hear gasps one after another.

It took a long time before Lin Kuo spoke. He asked Liang Sihong, "You said NPC would provide clues."

Liang Sihong nodded: "Did you find anything?"

Lin Kuo didn't say a word, but frowned slightly, and when he frowned, there was a slight vertical line between his brows.

Liang Sihong was worried that Lin Kuo was unwilling to share clues, and he didn't dare to use the excuse of 'we are a team'. After thinking about it, he said: "The gate of life and death can be our own scaring, but now the NPC has given clues, although this The clues are not yet clear, but it is related to everyone's life. How about this, each of us will share our thoughts."

The crowd had no objection.

Liang Sihong looked at the food on the table and said: "Not just eggs, the number of every food on the table is only '6'."

Only then did everyone discover that the amount of food that can be measured on the table is only 6 servings.

The man with the scar swallowed his saliva: "There is something mixed between us."

In fact, Li Yinan also thought of this point, secretly glanced at Big Brother Lin next to him, Lin Kuo's frowning brows had already relaxed, which made Li Yinan feel a little relieved.After thinking about it carefully, I realized something was wrong: "No, when entering the dungeon, the system prompts that there are 7 players participating."

Li Yinan thought about it carefully and added: "I remember very clearly, there are 7 people, not 7, there is a unit."

She also works as a writer, and the news is very strict about these details, so Li Yinan is more sure that she is right: "So I think, the seven of us are all human beings."

Liang Sihong nodded and looked at the other newcomers.

The newcomers trembled, their eyes drifted away, obviously not in the mood.Liang Sihong said: "Everyone is involved, as long as you have an idea, it's okay to say it, maybe your idea is the key to breaking the game."

Wang Miao said pessimistically, "Is the housekeeper implying that one of us must die, so that the number of people will match." After speaking, he seemed to have confirmed his guess, stood up and pointed The man with the scar: "If that's the case, I'll choose him to die."

The scarred man grabbed Wang Miao's collar, picked up the dinner plate with one hand and was about to smash Wang Miao's head: "I'll kill you first."

Liang Sihong stopped the scarred man with a headache: "Don't make trouble, you know the consequences if you take the initiative to kill someone in the game."

Hearing this, Lin Kuo looked up at Liang Sihong.

After Liang Sihong persuaded the scarred man, he reluctantly explained to Lin Kuo: "The main god system does not allow players to die outside of the dungeon setting, including suicide. That would destroy the balance of the game, and there would be a more terrible punishment than death."

Lin Kuo didn't say a word. Although Liang Sihong said it tactfully, he still understood the meaning of "game balance". The audience in front of the live broadcast saw that the player had passed the dungeon. If he committed suicide or was killed, it would lose a lot of attention.Just like live broadcast games in the real world, the water friends in the live broadcast room will only find it boring.

Liang Sihong glanced at the other newcomers, and guessed that they would not be able to provide any ideas, so he didn't worry too much. Anyway, all he wanted to hear was Lin Kuo's discovery.

Liang Sihong asked: "What about you, what discovery or idea do you have?"

Lin Kuo seemed to be weighing something, and he was silent for a while before speaking: "The Intruder."

He said the title of the dungeon again, and seeing everyone's blank faces, he knew that these people hadn't understood what he meant, so he explained: "The pattern on the door was engraved not long ago."

This is what he discovered when he touched the grains before. The peach wood grains are deeply carved. Generally speaking, such grains and gullies will inevitably have dirt marks after a long time, but the patterns on these 13 doors are clean.

Li Yinan answered: "Peach wood pattern?"

Lin Kuo said: "As I said before, Taomu shakes ghosts and evil spirits."

Li Yinan understood Lin Kuo's meaning, this time even his lips turned white.

Lin Kuo is saying:

The intruder is a ghost.

Liang Sihong thought for a while and said, "But didn't you say that Chinese people like to carve such patterns on doors?"

Lin Kuo suppressed his irritability to say a long sentence: "As I said before, there is a saying in the "Southern China Scripture" that peach trees are pinned to the door so that children will not be surprised, but children are first shocked and then peach trees are separated from the door. , if there is no abnormality in the child, he would not have spent so much time finding Taomu Biemen."

Looking at Liang Sihong's dishes, Lin Kuo said, "Don't you understand? If there are no ghosts in this house, there is no need to carve peach wood patterns to shock ghosts and evil spirits."
