Chapter 176 Hush, the chase is about to begin.

He patted his chest and let out a breath.

After the male steward left, Mo Cha walked deeper along the third-floor corridor. He followed the mission prompts to find the bloody wedding dress in the mission prompts.

But after walking around in the corridor, he didn't see the bloody wedding dress at all. Mo Cha thought, where would that thing be placed? As I walked, I felt the cold feeling becoming more and more obvious.

As he walked, he found a locker room on the third floor. The door of the locker room was open, so Mo Cha went in curiously to find out.

There were a lot of clothes here, and I noticed that the bloody wedding dress...

the clothes I was looking for were not in the dressing room at all.

Mo Cha felt more and more confused after he left the dressing room and received a system reminder.

[The countess likes those roses very much...especially the roses made into ornaments...]

Ornaments? Is it an ornament made into a rose pattern? Mo Cha seemed to have gotten some clue, and he caught a flash of light in an instant.

I expanded my thoughts and looked for a red wedding dress, but... is it really a wedding dress? Is it possible that it is a 'wedding dress' in that sense?

Like made of rose flowers?

After thinking about it, Mo Cha began to search carefully on the third floor.

Since the system panel says, 'Players are asked to go to the 3rd floor alone to look for the bloody wedding dress.' Since the prompt says that the thing is on the 3rd floor, it must be hidden in a corner of the 3rd floor.

When he first came up, he walked roughly around the corridor. I didn't see anything related to the wedding dress. Could it be that it was hidden in a relatively secret place?

Mo Cha didn't believe it, so he circled the corridor and looked for it again.

After walking around for a few times, he felt a little tired. This single-line task was indeed not very simple. He stood aside and leaned against the wall to take a rest.

When he relaxed, his head felt empty. Mo Cha raised his head and looked around casually. Inadvertently, he saw a painting hanging on the wall of the corridor.

The painting depicts a woman.

Mo Cha was very curious, so he got closer to take a look.

Victorian dress, a... maiden?

She was standing in the flowerbed watering the flowers. She was wearing a white tulle skirt. Skirt? Mo Cha observed carefully... He found a bright red rose painted on the woman's skirt.

The roses have been decorated by the painter and appear lifelike, and the red paint seems to have been deliberately applied.

Wait...red paint?

Only then did Mo Cha react. He touched it gently with his hand and found that the rose flowers on the skirt had a protruding feel.

Is it post-processed?

Deliberately dotted with paint on the flowers?

Mo Cha felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't help but stood farther away to take a look. Just as he took a step back, Mo Cha was suddenly startled.

White gauze skirt, red flowers... If you don't look carefully, it looks like little bits of blood on it...

Isn't the skirt on the oil painting exactly... what

he is looking for? Bloody...wedding dress?

Mo Cha was shocked, his hands even trembled, and his whole body was in a state of excitement.

Could this be what he was looking for on the single quest?

While Mo Cha was guessing, he heard a ding-dong sound in his mind.

It's the sound of the system.

[System: The Countess likes to add color to those pure white dresses... She applied the red paint over and over again...]

[This dress It seems to have special meaning. ]

[System: Congratulations to the player for finding --- the 'Blood Wedding Dress'

player has completed the mission. 】

Is this the mission completed? Mo Cha was stunned.

Only then did I realize that it would have been a bit difficult to find it carefully if I hadn't taken a casual look.

Who would have thought that he would bump into him just by chance? Once good luck comes, you can't resist it.

Just when Mo Cha was sighing at his good luck, he saw the oil painting hanging on the wall. No matter how he looked at it, he felt a little weird, as if...

Mo Cha stepped forward to take a look with some curiosity. Then something surprising happened to him.

I saw that the oil painting seemed to be covered with a light layer of mist, and there was the sound of pattering water coming from inside.

It was as if the people in the oil painting came to life.

The roses in the flowerbed swayed in the wind, emitting a... fragrance.

But the smell felt a bit strange, like a kind of ointment. Mo Cha was a little confused. Looking at such a strange painting, he slowly stretched out his hand, and when he touched the frame, his fingertips were touching When you press it, you can feel a sticky feeling.

Then he took his hand off and found a layer of white paste on his fingertips.

When I put it to the tip of my nose and smell it, it was indeed the same smell as the roses in the painting. Could it be that someone had applied these smelly pastes on it.

And then create an illusion?

Why do this? To confuse people?

And that's nothing. The next second, Mo Cha discovered the oil painting... the girl watering the flowers on it? She was originally facing away from him, but now she had turned her body half sideways.

And it's slowly moving over.

This...what's happening?

Why are the people in the painting moving?

And strange things continued to happen. After the girl wearing a white gauze skirt in the painting turned around, Mo Cha was startled because the person who turned around was not a woman... but a man. Although...

Although he had long curly hair as golden as seaweed and blue eyes, which were very beautiful,...Mo Cha noticed that the man had an Adam's apple between his neck.

The chest is flat...it's obviously a man.

Why is the girl in the painting a man? Mo Cha was puzzled. He seemed to find that the face on the painting...

seemed to be slowly changing, and then several faces changed one after another.

These faces look out of place on a man's head.

Change of face? Does this mean...men will pretend to be someone else to approach others? Or... does it mean something else?

Mo Cha put one hand on his chin.

[Who do you think the person in the painting is? 】

At this time, a question and answer pops up on the game panel.

Ask him who is the person in the painting?

Mo Cha thought about it carefully. From the other person's clothes and identity...he thought that the identity of the person in the painting should not be simple.

Somehow, an answer appeared in his mind, but it felt a little unreasonable.

"Is he a countess?"

When I first entered the game, I received a game reminder that there was a female NPC in the Rose Castle, but this NPC never came out.

There is something very fishy about this, but...why hasn't it come out? To hide something?

Suppose the countess is a man?

This all makes perfect sense.

The question on the game panel has changed again.

[What do you think is special about him? 】

What's special? Does it mean skills? still?

Mo Cha thought of the faces that had just changed. He said, should the countess be able to disguise herself as anyone present?

It's just that he didn't understand what method he used.

[So, do you think... he is among you? 】

As soon as this question came up, he felt a chill on his back.

The system will ask this question, what does it mean? Could it be that...

the countess has...disguised herself as one of them? And they haven't found it yet.

But the countess has been unable to come down for a long time, has she already blended into them?

If the plot of the game develops, this is not impossible. Mo Cha took a deep breath and prepared for the worst.

"He...has infiltrated into us?"

Just as he finished speaking, Mo Cha saw the green progress bar prompted by the game advance one space.

This... means...

He suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Mo Cha looked at the empty corridor behind him and felt as if countless pairs of eyes had appeared in the darkness, staring straight at him. Take advantage of them at any time and kill them directly.

Looking up at the game panel, the question and answer was still continuing. At this time, the last question was asked.

[Who do you think he is pretending to be? 】

This is undoubtedly a brainstorm.

Mo Cha filtered through the several familiar players around him in his mind and found nothing suspicious for the time being.

But with the other three players, he only had short-term gaming experience.

Mo Cha's mind first flashed to Jiang Ke. This Xiao Bailian looked suspicious no matter how he looked at it.

But... fat people are not simple either, what about thin people? He kept following Fatty...

After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked: "Is it... Fatty?"

A red pop-up window suddenly appeared on the game panel, and it vibrated.

[Unfortunately, your answer is wrong. 】

Is this wrong again?

Mo Cha's eyes were fixed on the game panel.

[Do you need to open a special channel? 】

What special channel?

[Purchase reversion point, this prop is a three-time consumption prop...]

Mo Cha was stunned. In this game, he could still

see a purchase prompt of 500 gold coins under the prop card.

A rollback skill card costs 500 gold coins. Has this game fallen into a money pit? Who would buy something so expensive?

Unexpectedly, the system inquired about the player's thoughts, and a prompt appeared the next moment.

[Inquiry about your next mission... You and your teammates are about to face a... bloody chase...]

Mo Cha looked over.

"Ah?"

[The countess is about to wake up...]

[You and your partners are in many dangers before you can safely escape from Rose Castle...]

Now the pressure is coming.

Mo Cha hesitated for a while, and then was chased miserably through the castle by the countess. He couldn't find a place to hide, and then he was stabbed to death, or maybe there was an unexpected turn of events.

After weighing it, he gritted his teeth and bought the skill card with a heart.

[Purchasing the skill card for reverting props...]

[The player has successfully deducted 500 gold coins...]

Mo Cha put the expensive skill card into his pocket, and At this time, he found that the game panel was still popping up.

[Downloaded as a free plot gift package...

please ask if you want to load the plot]

Is there such a good thing? Mo Cha quickly nodded and asked for it. He wanted to see what terrible plot was hidden in this plot gift package.

He was even prepared.

Just want to scare him with a little plot? impossible! Mo Cha is very confident.

[Loading plot...]

[Importing for you...]

A dim corridor appeared in front of him. From the surrounding layout, Mo Cha recognized that it was a corridor on the first floor.

The next moment, I seemed to hear a rustling sound. At first, when the figure walked cautiously towards this side, the picture was still a bit blurry.

Slowly, as the figure got closer, the picture became clearer.

Mo Cha recognized the man immediately.

That's...Jiang Ke?

Jiang Ke in the picture seems to have made an appointment with someone. His eyes are a little panicked, even scared.

After a while, Jiang Ke started to move. He heard a call and seemed to be controlled. His eyes lost focus and his body slowly walked up the stairs.

The scene stops at the corner of the stairs.

It seemed like it had stopped playing, but Mo Cha knew that the video was still playing, and the time in the lower right corner of the video was still running.

Just like that, five minutes after this scene passed, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs.

The steps were slow and didn't seem to be in any hurry.

Mo Cha stared closely at the corner of the stairs, and sure enough, three seconds later.

Jiang Ke appeared in the picture. He put one hand on the rose handrail of the stairs and walked down step by step with a faint smile on his lips.

At this time, Jiang Ke exuded a strange feeling, as if he was telling him clearly.

The person the Countess is pretending to be is...Jiang Ke!

Mo Cha suddenly remembered that Duan Xiuran left with Jiang Ke half an hour ago. He was stunned and felt a chill on his back.

"It's over!" Mo Cha reacted immediately and ran towards the corridor stairwell.

He had to go down quickly and notify others so that Duan Xiuran could be found as soon as possible. At the same time, the matter of Jiang Ke being possessed by the countess...no, the baron was made public.

Mo Cha ran downstairs with all his strength.

As he ran, he found that there was more black mist surrounding him, covering some walls... and

the surrounding air became even colder.

This premonition was not good. Mo Cha ran very fast and soon reached the first floor. When he went down the last step, the scene in front of him suddenly distorted and the whole picture sank.

It changed back in just one second.

Mo Cha missed the mark and fell down the stairs.

His elbow was injured and his body was hit hard. When Mo Cha came into contact with the hard ground, he couldn't hold back and screamed out in pain.

It was just such a cry that attracted several players in the living room.

Bai Wei ran out first. As soon as she came out of the corridor, she saw Mo Cha lying on her back. She called on the people behind her to help.

"What's wrong with you?" After Bai Wei helped the person up, she looked at Mo Cha worriedly.

Mo Cha's calf was scratched and the pain started to rise with the slightest movement. Despite this, he looked at the group of people in front of him and shook his head.

"I...I'm fine..." He endured.

Before he finished speaking, he revealed something that worried everyone.

"But...Brother Duan, he is in trouble."

What happened to Duan Xiuran?

Bai Wei was puzzled.

"You wouldn't believe it...Jiang Ke was possessed by the Countess..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.

The Countess... When did the Countess come out? Chen Jun stepped forward.

"He showed up early in the morning."

"It's just that we didn't know it."

"He showed up early in the morning?" This caused several players to break their defenses.

At this moment, the fat man standing at the end of the crowd turned pale and couldn't stand it anymore.

This was obviously something he didn't expect.

Mo Cha took Bai Wei's hand and suggested that before he could save Duan Xiuran first, at this moment, everyone received a task reminder at the same time.

[Rose Castle, after being abandoned for a hundred years, finally gained popularity...]

[The 'popularity' of those who accidentally broke into the castle... slowly spread in the castle, and were eventually... ..The countess who has been dead for many years discovers...]

[Mission: Please pay special attention to the players, the aura on your body is particularly deadly...]

"Those popularity will attract the dead countess." "

[Hush, players should hide, He has woken up now...]

A group of players were stunned on the spot, no one spoke, as if they were all frozen.

At this time, Xu Li didn't know why, he yelled something bad.

"She's already here..."

Then they saw Xu Li picking up the compass, and a red dot flashed on one side of the compass...

That red dot was approaching them. ....
