Infinite weird games

Chapter 17 Rose Manor (Sixteen) Clues Concluded

In the guest room on the second floor, Ye Zi's body stared with dead eyes and slowly slid to the ground. She never understood until her death how Zou Yan killed her in the copy of "Only ghosts can kill humans".

Zou Yan took back her right hand. The originally fair arm was covered with ugly vine-like patterns. From time to time, plant tentacles emerged from the blood vessels, and tiny flowers bloomed bloody.

The process of becoming a ghost only stops at the arm. At the shoulders, an iron ring encircled the muscles, preventing the vines from spreading further.

[Name: Ring of Barrier]

[Type: props]

[Effect: Slow down the process of the spread of weirdness]

[Note: What is the use of fear and hesitation in the face of a predetermined outcome? 】

Zou Yan's purpose was different from other players from the beginning. She was looking for the same thing.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time to end this copy.

Two people are already dead, only one more needs to be killed...

Zou Yan pushed open the door and walked towards the innermost room.

She remembered that Lin Chen, who stayed inside, was a newcomer.

In the room on the third floor, strands of blood began to spread from his fingertips, wrapping around Qi Si in a few breaths.

He opened his mouth, and after finding that no sound came out, he decisively gave up the struggle and let blood threads crawl all over his body with a languid expression, weaving a red spider web on the surface of his body.

The vines grew wildly outside the door, and they crowded in through the cracks in the door, occupying every inch and corner of the room.

Objective time seemed to have stopped at this moment, Chang Xu maintained his posture of bending over and standing beside the bed. Dust suspended in the air, casting little shadows on the ground.

A thin layer of pale pink was cast before his eyes, the light dimmed, and the surrounding scene turned yellow and curled like an old photo in a fire.

Scenes of phantoms appeared in the dim light and shadow, and Qiss could understand its meaning almost the moment he saw it.

The unfamiliar cognition was poured into the mind and became familiar in an instant, as if it had already existed in the depths of memory, but was awakened at this moment...

It was raining heavily outside the castle.

In the attic filled with debris, a girl with a red birthmark on her face fell to the ground. The door closed in front of her eyes, and the last piece of light and shadow converged into a thin line, and finally disappeared into the darkness.

The girl didn't cry or fuss, as if she was used to being treated like this. She just sat in the corner, quietly listening to the footsteps outside the door.

After an unknown amount of time, a faint light appeared in the darkness. Like a frightened shadow creature, she timidly looked towards the light.

I saw a small statue of a god placed among the dusty debris, shining brightly, as if bathed in a layer of misty morning light.

The statues carved out of stone have delicate faces and are breathtakingly beautiful.

He clasped his hands on his chest and stared at the blood-red roses carved with precious stones in his hands with his lowered eyes, looking strange, peaceful and compassionate.

The girl picked up the statue of the god in a strange way, held it in front of her eyes, and stared at it almost infatuatedly.

Suddenly, she heard the voice of God.

God asked, “I feel your pain, do you want to pray to me?”

The girl had already despaired of the future, but now she could not feel any fear of the unknown.

She smiled miserably and asked: "What's the use of praying? I was born ugly. They said I was the reincarnation of the devil. Maybe my existence was a mistake."

God said: "Beauty and ugliness, good and evil, are all living beings. If you long for beauty, plant roses all over the attic, and everything from now on will be as you wish."

The girl agreed to the deal with God. Over the next countless days and nights, she secretly ran out of the castle, cut rose branches in the manor and took them to the attic. She filled the gaps in the floor with soil and inserted the branches into them.

Her hands were scratched by the thorns of the roses and were scarred, but as long as she thought about the beauty she would soon have, she would forget all the fatigue and pain.

She recalled the candies her sister gave her when she was a child, and the stories she told her. It was her first understanding of family love, and it gradually gave rise to more incomprehensible emotions.

But now her sister is busy attending various banquets every day and never pays her a glance. When she finally found her sister and dared to kiss her lips, her parents rushed in in panic, pointed at her and shouted loudly. Call her and put her in the attic.

She thought it must be because she looked ugly. People in the world like beauty and hate ugliness.

As long as she can become beautiful, her parents will not abandon her, and she can continue to follow her sister as they did when she was a child, right?

As the branches of roses climbed all over the attic, the birthmark on the girl's face faded, and her appearance became more and more like her sister. However, she gradually discovered that her parents looked at her with more and more fear.

It was a rainy night, and the girl heard her parents talking.

The father said: "Anne's behavior is getting more and more weird. I'm afraid she will hurt Anna... Do you want to ask the priest to come and take a look?"

The mother was hesitating: "We can't let the priest come, Anne will be executed. Let's watch her carefully and nothing will happen."

The father sighed: "Let Anna go to the country tomorrow. Let's arrange a marriage for Anna as soon as possible so that they can separate..."

The girl listened calmly, with no overjoyed or angry emotions on her face. She knew exactly what she should do, just like planting roses night after night.

She went up to the attic again, knelt down in front of the statue, and worshiped devoutly.

"I want two people to die without suspicion, and I'm willing to pay any price to do that," she said.

God taught her to kill living creatures and use fresh blood to carve incantations.

The girl killed the family cat, and the moment the warm blood soaked her fingertips, she could no longer look back.

When Zis regained consciousness, he found himself leaning against the wall. The two skeletons on the big bed in front of him had disappeared, leaving only a pile of broken bones.

On the side, Chang Xu was trying to crush the bone pieces into more pieces.

Seeing Qisi wake up, Chang Xu explained: "You were possessed just now. I guessed that the key was the skeletons, so I smashed them."

"..."

Although we know that everyone's talents are different, in a fair game, since you can use resourcefulness to survive the crisis, there must be a solution that can defeat ten with one force...

...But this is too outrageous, right?

Qisi was silent, looking down at his hands.

The red dress in her arms is missing, apparently consumed as a plot item after the triggering event.

The piece of paper I took out from under the pillow also disappeared, leaving no trace, as if it had never existed.

Qisi looked at Chang Xu: "If I guess correctly, there is a piece of paper with clues written on it under the pillow."

Chang Xu was very mobile. As soon as he said that sentence, he reached under the pillow and took out a piece of paper full of words.

Qisi came forward and glanced at the words on the paper:

[Anna and Anne were born at the same time...]

The content written on the paper was exactly the same as the previous one.

what is going on? Going back in time again?

If the previous time travel back was just a conclusion drawn from the side based on the movement of the hands on the pocket watch; then this time, it is a real personal experience.

Qisi felt as if he had had a very long dream. In the dream, a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Countless thoughts flowed through his consciousness, leaving only faint marks and half-true impressions.

This feeling is very strange, as if it comes from the mechanism of the copy, and it also seems to be a talent buried deep in his memory.

Chang Xu finished reading the contents on the paper, handed it to Qisi, and asked, "How did you know there was paper under the pillow?"

"I saw it." Qiss replied, "It seems that time went back again just now. Of course, it is also possible that I am hallucinating."

He described his experiences and feelings in a concise and concise manner.

Chang Xu raised his left hand and put it on the back of his neck, his eyes slightly focused: "I feel that the time in Rose Manor is starting to become disordered. The time reversal at one o'clock in the afternoon should be like a switch. Once activated, the subsequent effects are uncontrollable."

Qisi remained silent and had no intention of correcting Chang Xu's guess.

He raised his hand and tapped his temple, scanning the rules on the system interface from beginning to end.

The anomaly at one o'clock in the afternoon is undoubtedly the key to breaking the situation. The top priority is to understand the triggering mechanism of time reversal.

But there are too few clues.

The only thing that is certain is that the trigger of time reversal has something to do with Zou Yan or Ye Zi.

Some of them used props to get clues to the four-line poem from Chang Xu's room, and immediately carried out the experiment.

The experiment was successful.

What a bloody story (it was very touching when I was thinking about it, but what happened after I wrote it down)
