(Finally back after 2 weeks of testing. )
___
After exiting the cell area, in front of them was a hanging corridor. The corridor was very dilapidated. Lots of cracks here and there. Looking down through the cracks, as far as the eye could see it contained only an endless abyss.
Even where they stepped on, it felt like it would collapse at any moment, it made them unable to withstand the tension of the spirit.
Yue was very curious, "I really don't know the plot mechanism in the game, but how could a little girl enter this castle alive?"
“Don't ask me, it's just setting on plot.” Rion shrugged and said casually.
Lena frowned slightly, as if she was thinking of something.
These games generally do not impose an unreasonable setting just for the needs of the plot.
‘Now I think about it, even the group of players with superpowers were almost cornered in a dying situation a few minutes after entering the castle.’
‘How can a simple and ordinary little girl get inside this castle? Even survival can be said to be difficult for the players, so what exactly does the game mission want from them?’
And the prize of the mission...
Just as he was thinking this, System suddenly issued a copy task this time—
[Task points: Finding a real girl will earn 10,000 points.]
[Duty points: Defeating a witch will earn 10,000 points.]
[Duty points: 5,000 points will be awarded if successful escape from the castle.]
[Additional task: Evaluation of copies with an S rating will qualify for a gacha draw, evaluation of copies with an SS rating will qualify for a high gacha, and, and evaluation of copies with SSS ratings will qualify for super gacha.]
Seeing these tasks, Lena stopped.
Then I finally couldn't help myself to ask that System in my heart—— 'Are you intentionally helping me?'
[The system is honest, fair and open, under any circumstances will be on the side of the host, and will only provide support to the host within the scope of the responsibilities of this system.]
'So this is your official statement?'
[The system is honest, fair and open, under any circumstances.].
'Okay, no need twice. '
[( ⁇ °_ ⁇ ⁇ °)..] The system is silent.
Lena thought it was a little funny.
He is now increasingly interested in the origin of this system - why it exists in him, and why the system helps him unconditionally, generally this becomes absurd. But for him, it's a good thing.
At least for now, that's enough.
In the future, it would not be too late to discover the truth when he already had the strength.
As for now, he was very interested in the task that the System had just issued.
Although it was in the form of a mission, but the word actually reminded her of something crucial—like the words [true girl] and [witch].
These are all information that the game system announcement has not told them before.
If previously he could only guess, now he could be sure that there must be a witch in this castle, and it was most likely the last BOSS.
Another important point is the word "true girl".
‘Could there be fake girls in this castle?’
It was just that before he thought of all these things, the three of them managed to pass through the hanging corridor without any risk, and at the end of the corridor.
At the end of the street was a beautiful hall, perhaps this was the brightest place in the entire castle.
When Lena and her group came, Zigu and the others were checking the situation in the hall.
Including Nao and Lui, who had been separated from them since falling into the abyss, were also among the current crowd.
Now, except for Shiori, who was presumed to be dead, everyone was here.
“Rion! You're still alive?!”
Seeing them coming, Nao and Lui immediately greeted them, “When you fell, we were on the edge of the area, the floor closed and could not be opened, we could only find a way to get out of the room.”
Yue also emerged from behind Rion's shoulder in curiosity, "So, how did you get out of that room?"
“Uh... We tried to use that teapot to pour tea into all the cups, and then the door opened, hehe...” Nao scratched his head.
"……Ehh!?" Yue looked disappointed.
“Easy then?” Rion reacts.
“Then why did we fall?” ask Yue.
Nao shook his head, "We don't know either, we just tried it…"
Yep, "..."
Lena sighed and explained, "Possibly the key point of this puzzle is respecting the older ones - the younger generation should pour tea for the older ones at the dinner table.”
“And maybe at the dinner table at that time in a setting full of ghosts that we can't see, Yue Yang immediately sat down, the same as disrespecting the elders."
This was what he wanted to say right before they fell.
It was a pity that this leopard girl was moving faster than him.
Yue shuddered, "Ghost? Did ya? Why does this witch castle contain ghosts? You're not just scaring me, are you?"
“Don't ordinary witches do this too? Soul sacrifice or something, it's normal if there are ghosts here.” Rion nodded in agreement.
‘Again, what my boyfriend said must be true.’
Yue's expression turned grim.
After the game was over, he was worried whether he would be cursed by the ghosts?
Zigu and the others just glanced at them, and then continued to look at the situation around him.
Other than where Lena came from, this entire hall was a gate encrusted with various kinds of gems in front.
Zigu narrowed his eyes at Yu, "Go and open the door."
Yu's expression slightly changed, as if he wanted to say something, but after a few seconds of silence, he still nodded and walked towards the door.
Lena and the others also looked to their side, watching Yu walk towards the gate alone.
Nao inevitably clicked his tongue and whispered, "This guy is really pathetic."
Nao and Lui met these people halfway. At that moment, Shiori and Rif were already no longer on their team.
During the trip, they continued to watch Zigu who was commanding this man go explore the area, check the road and others, but this man still did not dare to say a word.
They didn't know the situation of Zigu's team, but they could see that this man was very pitiful.
Since seeing the person surnamed Yan seemed to be quite strong, and since this was only in the game, Nao had no intention of meddling in their affairs, so Nao and Lui were both blind and deaf along the way.
Yu walked to the gate reluctantly, pushed the gate open with high vigilance, and immediately retreated a few steps after the gate opened to take a defensive position.
There was no danger behind the door.
Behind the gate was only a large bedroom.
The bedroom was beautifully decorated, with a noble bed in the middle, and on top of the bed lay a young girl.
"Is that the person we should save!?"
Yu was overjoyed, thinking of the game points from the mission reward, he immediately ran in, "I'll go first to check the road."
‘Because I was ordered to explore the road, so what's wrong with me going first. There must be an advantage.’
Zigu simply threw a mocking look at him.
He naturally knew what this person was thinking, but he really did not care about this copy gift.
"Let's go, come in and see." She looked at Nia Crayford, who was beside her, thinking she was waiting.
Nia ignored Zigu and walked straight inside.
Zigu's expression became a little stiff.
