Chapter 260 Death Castle [Part 1]

There is still more than an hour until ten o'clock.

The five players sat in the shopping mall on the top floor to rest, and Kiwi even ordered a cup of milk tea. It is said that this was the first time she drank milk tea in the game, and the taste seemed to be much better than in reality.

While waiting anxiously, Jerry took out his mobile phone from time to time to watch the chat content in the group, "I don't see that the task says that we are not allowed to leave the group, why don't we try to leave the group?"

An Ye held her chin, "This seems like a good idea."

Jerry cheered up immediately, "Really?"

An Ye's smile widened, "Of course it's true, you quit the group first and try to see if it triggers the opportunity for the ghost to kill, if not, I will quit the group again."

The tone of the speech was quite sincere, without the slightest hint of sarcasm or joking.

Jerry rolled his eyes angrily, "I'm not that stupid."

An Ye pretended to sigh, and said with some regret: "That's really a pity."

Han Meimei didn't seem to hear the conversation between An Ye and Jerry, she closed her eyes and rested herself, her legs seemed relaxed but she was actually ready to fight at any time.

Xia Letian sat in the farthest position, fiddled with the phone with his head down.

[Shaking Heaven and Earth Weeping Ghosts and Gods]: Did you sleep well last night?

[Pipixia]: If you hadn't pretended to be very busy to log off yesterday, I think I would have slept well.

There was a moment of silence on the other side.

[Shaking Heaven and Earth Weeping Ghost God Dashuai]: I'm sorry.

[Pipixia]: Then I will punish you to take me to have a delicious meal after this game is over.

Distant starry sky.

After seeing this line of news, the god with a somewhat flustered expression was taken aback, and then showed a faint smile.

[Heaven and earth weeping ghosts and gods and handsome men]: Not only will I take you to eat delicious food, but after the qualifying event is completely over, I will take you to see what the real world is like.

[Pipixia]: Good.

After the chat was over, Xia Letian was full of anticipation and excitement.

Because he has always been curious about what the real world is like.

Some people say that the parallel world is actually equivalent to the dark side of the main world, or it can be compared to a huge bubble with many small air pockets stuck underneath, and these large and small air pockets are the so-called worlds.

But imagination alone still cannot represent the real answer.

Xia Letian is looking forward to that day.

The opportunity to know the truth has never been said to be there, and ordinary people may not have the opportunity to see all this in their lifetime.

-

It's exactly ten o'clock.

All the players heard the notification tone from the mobile phone, and instantly sat up straight and opened the chat interface.

【Lord】:

I believe the group members can't wait, right?

Today's task is very simple, you will definitely enjoy it.

In order to welcome you into the group and become a member of the death chat group, the owner of this group decided to hold a masquerade ball in my death castle.

Offline gatherings with members of the other three groups established by this group leader.

Remember—you can only leave the castle after the ball is over. If you violate the rules, I will go to find you in person.

Have fun.

Please go to the entrance of Death Mall and wait for another group member to come, and he will take you to Death Castle.

-

After sending out the task, the group became completely quiet, and everyone looked at each other again. No one dared to send a message in the group to ask the group owner if he could leave the group.

"Masquerade? Do you want to wear a mask?" Kiwi asked a little uneasy.

"It's possible, and the most important thing is, besides us, are there other groups of players participating in this qualifying match?" Jerry asked nervously while clutching the cup in his hand unconsciously.

He had never heard of several teams being able to enter qualifying at the same time.

"Then there is only one possibility, those group members who will participate in the masquerade with us are local residents in this world." Xia Letian knocked on the table and gave the answer.

Ghosts may well be hiding in it.

"In any case, it's best to wait and see what happens after we get there," Xia Letian said.

After all, there are not many clues to give now.

Kiwi and Jerry nodded one after another, expressing their understanding.

After waiting for less than 5 minutes at the location mentioned by the group leader, a white van that looked a bit like a funeral car stopped slowly, and the white wreaths on it made everyone's hearts sink.

Fortunately, the driver looked quite normal, with a rosy face and an affectionate expression that just happened to be gentle, so it wouldn't make people feel overly enthusiastic and uncomfortable.

"Come on, let's go to Death Castle right now, I believe you will like that place too." The driver smiled heartily, seeing that everyone was still standing still, instead he was considerate and didn't urge them.

"Do you really have to go there?" Jerry swallowed, and he was unwilling to get on this rather inauspicious funeral car.

This is different from yesterday's mission.

At the very least, he knew what the opportunity to kill was. It can be said that as long as he didn't look back, he would never trigger the opportunity to kill.

But this time the mission only mentioned the masquerade ball, and didn't reveal anything about the timing of the murder.

"You have to go there first to know. Let's go." Han Meimei got on the car first with a calm expression. Although Kiwi was scared, she mustered up the courage to get on the car.

Xia Letian followed.

Then came Jerry and Dark Night.

After everyone got into the van, the driver started the car and went straight to the destination.

There is quite a lot of space in the van.

Jerry looked around the van, and he let out a sigh of relief after making sure there was no coffin or dead person.

On the way, the driver felt bored and started to play cheerful music. By the way, he drank water while waiting for the red light.

The atmosphere seems to have eased a lot with the cheerful music.

And Xia Letian took this opportunity to ask the driver about the masquerade party, "By the way, I don't know your name yet? Thank you for coming to pick us up."

The driver glanced at Xia Letian through the rearview mirror, waved his hands casually, and said haha: "What is this? It's all trivial matters. It's normal for group members to help each other."

Han Meimei seemed to be scrutinizing every move and detail of the driver, and finally asked: "Are there five members in your group?"

The driver said: "Yes, each group has five members, and the other group members should have arrived, so you are the only ones left."

When Jerry heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Well, then we are really honored."

The driver was overjoyed, "You are really interesting."

Jerry gave an even uglier laugh.

Xia Letian raised his eyebrows slightly, and subconsciously glanced at the driver, who was still humming to the sound of the music, staring intently at the road ahead.

An Ye raised his hand and glanced at his watch, and asked the driver with a smile, "When will this masquerade party end?"

The driver said: "It ends at 12 midnight."

An Ye nodded and said with a smile, "I like this time."

The driver laughed twice and didn't answer.

There was silence in the car.

Jerry suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, what is this masquerade?"

The driver looked a little surprised, "You don't know?"

The driver's eyes suddenly became vigilant, "Are you a member of the death chat group?"

Jerry's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Of course we are members of the death chat group."

Everyone became tense and stared at the driver.

But after the driver heard Jerry's words, he changed his vigilant expression and smiled as enthusiastically as he did at the beginning, "Hey, you guys are so interesting, I almost believed it. I still do."

Jerry also smiled in agreement, and wiped the sweat from his forehead imperceptibly.

Xia Letian frowned again.

I don't know why, but I always feel that something is wrong with the driver's words.

At this moment.

The driver continued to drive intently, humming an out-of-tune tune.

Although Xia Letian wanted to know more about the masquerade ball at this moment, he realized that this was not a good opportunity to inquire about the situation because of what happened just now.

A moment of silence.

After about half an hour,

The surrounding scenery became empty and silent, until after going through a more silent uphill route, they finally arrived at their destination.

——Death Castle.

Everyone became more and more nervous.

This place is deserted, and if something goes wrong, I'm afraid there's no way to escape.

Fortunately, as long as the task is completed, the danger can be resolved.

The driver said: "We are here, let's get off."

The Castle of Death is the only building around. It is almost more spectacular than the known castles in the real world. The towering walls surround the castle, and the gray-brown exterior adds a lot of ancient charm.

"Come in." The driver greeted everyone to enter after parking the car.

Outside the castle is a moat, and wooden bridges set up the passages on both sides. Stepping on the castle that has existed for an unknown amount of time, Xia Letian has an illusion that he is in the ancient Middle Ages.

The planks creaked, but were surprisingly strong.

The gate of the ancient castle was open, and there were already many men and women chatting happily inside, and some people were holding plates to choose food.

Everyone couldn't help but walk lightly when they entered, because the decoration inside was too high-profile and luxurious.

There was wood in the fireplace, but it was not lit.

It was obviously summer, but everyone felt a chill when they entered. The red carpet was spread from the door to the end of the stairs, and the handrail was carved with delicate hollow crystal balls.

The arrival of Xia Letian and others did not attract the attention of these people.

They were still talking to each other, laughing from time to time.

There are many oil paintings hanging on the wall, but each oil painting looks extremely eerie and weird, such as a bone hand protruding from the red land in the dark moonlight.

Another example is under the red moon, standing a strange black shadow.

Kiwi didn't even dare to look at those oil paintings, always thinking that these paintings might have something to do with the ghosts in this mission.

Could it be that the ghost is hidden in the oil painting?

Han Meimei's vigilance has reached the highest level at this moment, she stretched out her arm slightly to block the kiwi, and said in a low voice, "Follow me closely."

Kiwi nodded hurriedly.

The driver who brought Xia Letian and others in didn't know where he was at the moment. They were standing near the door, and after a short while, a person appeared on the stage, looked around with some deep eyes, and finally said: " First of all—welcome everyone to Death Castle."

Everyone immediately quieted down and looked at that person together.

Xia Letian and the others also began to get nervous.

Because, the game has already started.
