Lost City [Unlimited]

[dy2 is a colorless, odorless liquid that is extremely toxic. Once the human body ingests it, regardless of the amount, the organs will collapse to death within half an hour.The drug is undetectable and perfectly disguised as an acute flare-up, but post-mortem cadavers will have large red blotches on their skin, so use with caution. 】

"It seems that the poison that everyone chose is not an immediate-acting poison, and the concealment is quite strong. The key lies in the reaction of the corpse. There is also the onset time." Hu Ling analyzed.

He folded the note back, looked around, and asked, "Where did you hide that note?"

"In the soil." Yu Songyuan pointed to one of the flower pots on the windowsill.

Hu Ling was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered what Fu Ling said before, there would always be something hidden in the dungeon soil.

He pursed his lips, wanting to smile a little: "Not bad, not bad, this idea is fine."

Yu Songyuan: "?"

Why do I feel like you are mocking me?

Hu Ling turned a blind eye to Yu Songyuan's confusion, "Is there any good place to hide this one?"

Yu Songyuan propped his chin, looked left, right, up, down, and finally chose the vanity mirror: "Here, it can be unscrewed."

He started to turn the small decoration at the corner, and unscrewed it like a screw, revealing a very narrow space.

Hu Ling studied it for a while, first crumpled the note, then twisted it as small as possible, and with a little effort, it was stuffed in.

Yu Songyuan immediately stepped forward to put the decoration back, and he had to be careful not to damage the note. After it was over, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

He raised his sleeve and wiped it, and said with a smile, "Now that they find it, it's not easy to take it out."

After hiding the clues related to themselves, due to insufficient information, the two did not discuss any more, but focused on the sound outside the door.

The corridors are tiled with glossy tiles, and the male characters manage to keep their moccasins from making too much noise, but the high heels of the female characters are really tricky.

After all, no lady would walk barefoot in someone else's house, or deliberately walk on her feet.

Once seen, it must be cool immediately.

Therefore, Hu Ling and Yu Songyuan listened carefully while taking notes on the game phone.

［11点20……11点40……12点……］

Hu Ling paused with his fingertips, and put the game phone back into his handbag while making a sound: "Brother, take it."

Yu Songyuan didn't ask why, and put the phone directly into the inner pocket of his clothes.

knock --

It was a knock on the door.

Yu Songyuan stood up, stopped him with his hand, and signaled Hu Ling to walk behind him.

Hu Ling didn't fight with him, and was well-behaved and obedient.

"Who?" Yu Songyuan asked standing in front of the door.

"Master Marquis Salo, lunch is ready, please move to the dining room with the Countess of Orans."

It was a strange female voice.

Yu Songyuan and Hu Ling looked at each other and lowered their voices: "It should be a maid."

Hu Ling nodded, "Open the door."

The carved wooden door was opened, and a woman dressed in a maid's costume gradually revealed her figure.

She lowered her head, looking at her toes honestly and rigidly.

Seeing that the door opened, she immediately stepped back in small steps, her soft-soled shoes barely making a sound on the tiles.

He raised his hand and said, "Please."

From beginning to end, he maintained a humble and respectful posture.

He didn't look up.

Hu Ling looked at the maid twice, and then took Yu Songyuan's strong arm, and said in a cold voice with a little sweetness: "Recante, let's go."

Yu Songyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt as if a fire was ignited on his arm, slowly burning into his heart.

"Okay." His voice was a little dry.

·

The area of ​​the restaurant is not small. The combination of exquisite tableware and flower arrangements forms a beautiful picture scroll, showing the ancient heritage in its gorgeousness.

Earl Barend and his sister had already taken their seats in the primary and secondary seats. The arriving players had also chosen their seats according to the status of the male characters. At the same time, they did not forget to sit with a group of partners.

After they were all seated, Earl Barend showed a satisfied smile.

Although still too fake.

"Haha, my dear friends, quickly taste the skills of my chefs. They are all masters I have invited back from all over the world!" Earl Barend warmly greeted.

Embarrassingly, no one started.

After a brief silence, Earl Barend's face darkened, and he asked, "Why, are you looking down on me?"

Without that false smile on his face, coupled with his pale complexion, he looked very terrifying.

A player was trembling, and was about to bite the bullet and eat the food in front of him who didn't know if there was any problem, when he heard a neutral voice saying, "No, you misunderstood Earl Barend."

"We're just waiting for the master's explanation. There should be a pre-dinner show, right?"

Phil Barend looked at Hu Ling. In fact, everyone at the table was looking at him.

"Manlinya, I'm sorry." After a moment of silence, Earl Barend said: "I didn't prepare for this part."

Hu Ling raised his eyebrows lightly, and replied casually: "Oh, that's really regrettable."

"I think this is your mistake, Earl Barend."

The beauty's proud appearance is very much like a cat standing on a high place. It looks soft and fragile, but it is cold and arrogant with hidden claws.

"Ha ha ha ha--!!!"

Earl Ballend suddenly laughed and applauded, his veins stretched, his face flushed, and he went crazy.

"—cough cough..."

He choked, and then gradually stopped the sudden, panic-stricken laughter.

"Interesting, Man Linya." He sighed, "The number one beauty in the Raya Empire is really..."

Earl Barend did not continue, but turned back to the meal: "Everyone, I think this may be my mistake. Of course, it is only because our service did not meet your expectations."

"But trust me. When you taste the food, you'll think it's just a small... problem."

Speaking of this, players who are worried about food problems can only pick up their knives and forks, and start to eat carefully and pick and choose.

Without even thinking about it, Hu Ling knew that just as he had guessed, many people planned to kill people by poisoning food.

The copy will provide the player with the conditions to complete the murder.

Hu Ling turned his eyes and glanced at the two empty seats.

He was sure that he was not mistaken, nor was he hallucinating.

So here comes the question.

If Dana wasn't dead, why didn't she show up now?

If she died, who had he seen before? ……ghost?

·

The lunch time was spent in silence and depression. When Earl Barend and Leisa left the table, the players were relieved.

"Then, we... can leave now?" a player asked.

"Let's go when you've finished eating, Huanxing kindergarten kids report." Someone immediately replied to him.

The player who asked the question rolled his eyes and sat still.

"Cut." Someone laughed.

But no one ridiculed "cowardly" or "dare not" and the like.

I'm afraid of being asked rhetorically, and then riding a tiger is hard to get off.

——No one wants to be the first person to eat crabs.

Hu Ling wiped his mouth slowly with a handkerchief, which was immediately stained with red lip balm.

"Are you ready, Recante?"

Yu Songyuan had already eaten: "This should be my question, dear."

Hu Ling glanced at him: "Any opinion?"

Yu Songyuan smiled: "No, I am willing to wait for you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then stood up and walked away together.

Zhou Zhengwen, who was helping his girlfriend "test the poison", was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head to look at the two people's backs.

Sun Meng covered her mouth with her movements, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zhengwen also replied in a low voice: "Hu knocked on my chair."

Sun Meng thought for a while, then curled up the corner of his mouth, and said, "Eat first, and find them later."

Zhou Zhengwen should be fine.

Yang Xuehua, who had been following their movements all the time, received Sun Meng's eyes and nodded without a trace.

"You know him." asked the man sitting next to her.

Yang Xuehua paused, pretending to be confused: "What? Who?"

The man glanced at her coldly, sneered with a smile: "Idiot."

Yang Xuehua: "...??"

"I know him." The man didn't care about her reaction, and said to himself, "This is his mantra."

He nodded his heart: "Hiding."

Yang Xuehua: "?????"

What?What do you mean?I can barely understand the first two sentences, but these three sentences are really not human! !

Yang Xuehua, who seemed to have suffered a violent blow to her IQ, looked confused, but the man obviously didn't intend to explain her confusion, and only said, "I want to join."

I understand this.

But Yang Xuehua didn't want to answer directly: "What do you mean?"

The man sneered and said, "Thought it was a personal battle? The brain is a good thing, use it a little bit."

Yang Xuehua: "...Understood."

She picked up the water glass with a serious face, thinking to herself, don't care if you understand it or not, let's talk when I get up.

Then there was another sneer.

Yang Xuehua: "..."

Very good, this person is sick, the identification is complete.

·

After leaving the restaurant, Yu Songyuan asked, "Go back to the room?"

Hu Ling: "You need it, I don't, right?"

Yu Songyuan raised his eyebrows: "I think so."

"Then are you going to guard the third floor later?" Yu Songyuan asked.

"That's my plan." Hu Ling said, "But I guess it won't be so easy."

Yu Songyuan pretended to be calm and stretched out his hand to shake the hand in the crook of his arm: "Try?"

Hu Ling smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

"I'll go to the third floor, you wait for them, understand?" Hu Ling let go of his hand and raised his head to ask.

Yu Songyuan put his hands behind his back and lowered his eyes gently: "Understood."

"be careful."

Hu Ling's footsteps paused, and then he turned around and gave him an OK sign with a bright smile.

He didn't immediately go to the stairs leading to the third floor, but went to the balcony on the second floor first.

This place has been cleaned up long ago, and the strong bloody smell before has dissipated without a trace.

Hu Ling walked around the seat, then stood by the fence and looked down.

There is nothing on the clean ground.

Expected.

He didn't expect to find anything at the "scene where the crime happened" to answer the question about Dana's reappearance.

Just waiting for someone.

Hu Ling withdrew his gaze, turned around, with a slight smile on his face: "I didn't expect to see you here, Li."

A man named Rochelle Sirleaf walked in and closed the glass door of the balcony.

"On the contrary, I knew you would be chosen. This game is for you, isn't it?"

Rochelle Sirleaf, Yang Xuehua's random partner.

He is about the same height as Hu Ling, with a slender figure and a soft and delicate appearance, but the melancholy mixed in his expression endows him with a unique temperament—like an artist obsessed with darkness.

Hu Ling was noncommittal, and confirmed, "You sent them a signal of cooperation, right?"

Li An approached him, but his outstretched hand was blocked without any surprise.Instead of being angry, he raised the corners of his mouth, and the lingering gloom weakened a little at this moment: "I just went to the appointment. You invited me, I know."

Facing this man who always felt that he knew him very well, Hu Ling raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "In that case, come to talk?"

The smile on Li An's face widened, revealing a bit of nervous madness.

"My pleasure."

·

When Hu Ling returned to the room, it was no surprise that there were a few more guests in the room.

He hooked his lips and greeted cordially: "Hi, long time no see, my teammates."

Compared with Yang Xuehua's reserved and shy, and Zhou Zhengwen's plain vigilance, Sun Meng can be said to be very enthusiastic. If her boyfriend hadn't dragged her, she might have jumped directly in front of Hu Ling, and then made a few 360-degree circles to sprinkle flowers.

"Cub, long time no see, I miss you!"

"I'm not exaggerating, your women's clothing is really beautiful, not that kind...Although it's sexy, it's very sassy, ​​sassy, ​​do you understand?"

Hu Ling's smile remained unchanged, but his tone was a little fluttering: "...Maybe?"

Yu Songyuan coughed lightly, and stood up at the right time to make a rescue: "Okay, now is not a good time to chat, let's talk about business first, this time the dungeon is more complicated than before."

The implication is, don't capsize just because you underestimate the enemy.

Sun Meng is still very serious about business.She nodded, her exuberant excitement was immediately suppressed: "We understand."

"Before you came back, we talked about Dana, and we didn't have any clues yet." She said to Hu Ling: "But if it is really a dungeon NPC disguised, this time the dungeon may involve supernatural, mysterious and other factors, and the murderous intention is unknown. careful."

Hu Ling nodded.

Because everyone is not sure whether they are the real culprit now, so there is no in-depth chat, but the objective mechanism of the next dungeon is discussed to increase the probability of surviving to vote.

Obviously, the depth of their cooperation is limited to this.

Hu Ling quickly judged this from the conversations between several parties.

Otherwise, why didn't Sun Meng come to add him as a friend when he recognized his strength and showed his love?Why didn't Yang Xuehua contact him after adding friends, but successfully bound with Sun Meng and the others to form a team? ...

Unreasonable extensions lead to problems, and contradictions point out secrets.

Hu Ling glanced at Yu Songyuan, the meaning of which was tacitly understood by both of them.

"By the way, Ling, didn't you go to the third floor to check the situation? Why did you come back so soon?" Sun Meng naturally changed the subject.

Hu Ling didn't intend to hide it, and it wasn't something important: "There is an invisible barrier at the top of the stairs, just like the one we studied in the novice dungeon, and I can't go up."

Sun Meng's eyes widened, "Impossible, there is definitely a player's character story that needs to go upstairs, why does it stop it?"

Hu Ling expressed his opinion: "It should be targeted. At certain times and places, some players can go, and some players cannot go, which is very reasonable."

"Thinking about it is also the truth." Sun Meng pinched her chin and agreed.

"Then what do we do next?"

"Be yourself first." Hu Ling smiled, meaning unclear.

Sun Meng nodded: "OK, then let's go first."

The last one to leave the room was Li An who had remained silent.

He glanced at Hu Ling who came to close the door without any trace, and then walked in the opposite direction to Yang Xuehua and the others.

After a while, Yu Songyuan spoke with a deep voice: "Honey, can you explain to me what's going on with that man?"

Hu Ling was taken aback for a moment, and turned around.

He was sure that Yu Songyuan didn't catch him and Li An's small movements, so why?
