Chapter 69

Mo Yi and Yu Ran looked at each other, turned around and ran into the corridor.

The whistling wind blew into my ears with rapid pace, and the dim and twisted walls blurred into a phantom in the aftermath.

Mo Yi ran while calculating the number of remaining players in his heart. The more he thought about it, the heavier heavier heavier, as if a heavy piece of lead fell slowly on his heart.

There are a total of seventeen people entering the dungeon. Until now, six people have survived, including him and Yu Ran.

Mo Yi's heart was mixed for a moment - although the number of people means the reduction of vitality, it has to be admitted that it is easier to manage when the number of people is small, especially in the current situation.

Before they could think about it, the two of them had already returned to the hall.

Mo Yi held his steps on the uneven ground and looked around the entire room.

In the quiet room, the harsh and monotonous nursery rhymes in my ears became louder and louder, repeating the same melody over and over again. The changing children's voice sounded strange and terrifying, making people feel creepy.

The whole room was empty, without any popularity, and it seemed... other players disappeared out of thin air.

At first, the two thought that other players were scattered away because of fear, but they soon discovered something was wrong.

Yu Ran walked out of the room beside him and shook his head at Mo Yi at a loss.

It seemed as if there were only two of them left in the whole room.

Only the strange nursery rhymes continued to keep ringing, the vague lyrics were intermittent, but they were still singing persistently.

Yu Ran's face was pale, and her eyes that had been quite calm were flashing with an uneasy look. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, and then said, "You said... shouldn't they...?"

Mo Yi's expression was not very good either. He lowered his eyes and thought about it carefully, then answered decisively:

"impossible."

He raised his eyes and searched carefully for the entire room, with a faint coldness in his pupils:

"Every step must be followed strictly to complete the sacrifice, and killing everyone now is digging your own grave."

Mo Yi paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued:

"As for Ivy... it is difficult for her to kill everyone in such a short time, without leaving any bloody corpses or traces of struggle. Besides, she does not need to lie to us. After all, she did not attack us when she had an absolute advantage just now, and she would not be able to do so now."

His voice was cold, his speech was neither fast nor slow, and he analyzed one by one rationally and calmly.

Yu Ran looked into Mo Yi's calm eyes, and the deep sea was indifferent and deep, cold and heavy, which made people unable to help but convince.

Inexplicably soothe her nervous nerves-even her irritable and horrible state of mind became calm.

Mo Yi frowned, turned his eyes and looked at Yu Ran, and his pale face was covered with some worries:

"For the current situation, I only have some unformed guesses in my mind..."

Yu Ran interrupted him anxiously:

"It's okay, don't worry about guessing or not. If there is any evidence, please tell me first."

Mo Yi looked at her deeply and said:

"After the side plot is started, the difficulty of the entire dungeon will be greatly improved. For Ivy, she regained extreme and paranoid rational thinking, so she decided to kill all players once and for all. Since this is the case, will the house also be prepared to take the same path?"

Yu Ran was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"……Yes."

Mo Yi glanced at her, nodded slightly, and then said:

"My guess is, what if this house wants to do it once and for all? Ivy uses the method to cut off the weeds, then its method should be to raise its offerings and kill a few every hour, which is the safest way, isn't it?"

He laughed softly: "If it were me, I would do that."

Yu Ran looked at Mo Yi's plain side face and couldn't help but tremble, and a coldness spread across his spine:

Please don’t make dangerous speeches in this atmosphere, okay? It’s very scary!

However... I have to say that Mo Yi's guess is very clear and reasonable, and the more I think about it, the more likely it is.

Yu Ran suddenly rang something, and his face suddenly turned ugly: "Wait, but the nursery rhymes of this hour have already ringed... If this house has successfully kept other players in the trap, wouldn't that mean that someone is likely to have died?"

Mo Yi raised his eyebrows and said without surprise: "It's right that the nursery rhyme is ringing, but it hasn't stopped yet, right?"

Yu Ran was stunned.

He didn't care about Yu Ran's expression changes, but just continued:

"The nursery rhyme will stop only after successfully killing people. Now the nursery rhyme is still ringing, and Ivy has not yet jumped out to kill us, which means that the sacrifice at this time has not been completed, that is, there are no new dead yet."

Yu Ran frowned and asked in confusion: "Then why did you delay it for so long and haven't started?"

The music of nursery rhymes in the background sounds terrifying and weird, with the vague and cassetted childish voices singing the same melody over and over again, monotonously and harshly recalling the entire quiet and empty room.

Mo Yi listened intently and was a little distracted for a moment. He turned to look at Yu Ran and said:

"I think it may be a constraint on them by the dungeon, just like the pendant of Ivy, which can prevent such monsters from directly abusing the players in the dungeon after the difficulty level increases.

After all, this game will never put players in such a copy without a path.”

...It just makes you die forever.

Mo Yi took a deep breath and suppressed his deep resentment towards this game.

Yu Ran also thought of this, sighed tiredly, and then continued to ask, "What should we do next?"

Mo Yi was still a little distracted. He was called back to reality by Yu Ran's words, but his mind seemed to be floating outside.

He did not answer Yu Ran’s question, but hesitated for a moment, frowned and changed the topic:

"Do you still remember how these nursery rhymes... usually appear?"

Yu Ran didn't expect him to ask this question, and couldn't help but be stunned: "What does it mean?"

Mo Yi glanced at her quickly, and his speech also accelerated:

"The first nursery rhyme is crookedman, which was sung by the twisted man himself. The second nursery rhyme and the third nursery rhyme are both ringing upstairs. The monsters are also climbing down from the upstairs. The fourth nursery rhyme, averyuntidyman, which was sung by the split man himself."

Yu Ran's eyes lit up: "So, the sound source of this nursery rhyme should be the location of the monster!"

Mo Yiluo nodded and added with a smile: "The worst is also the source of monsters. In short, it is a starting point."

He raised his head, listened carefully to the vague sound of nursery rhymes, and then took a few steps towards the origin of the sound.

Mo Yi's steps stopped in front of the twisted and narrow staircase. He narrowed his eyes and looked straight into the deep darkness above the stairs with a dim gaze.

The husky and monotonous tune of nursery rhymes came from the upper floor.

Mo Yi tightened his fingers slightly, his slightly cool fingertips curled up in his palms, and a cold dull pain came from the peripheral nerves.

The shocking scene that was just now on the upstairs is still vivid in my mind. This time I went upstairs when nursery rhymes sounded, which may be even more dangerous.

Yu Ran also walked to him, raised her head and looked up at the stairs intricately, as if she wanted to break the heavy atmosphere in front of her. She spoke stiffly and quipped:

"Thank you fortunately you have the experience of getting downstairs alive, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go up."

Mo Yi shook his head heavy and replied: "This is what I am worried about."

He paused, and did not look at Yu Ran's surprised gaze, and continued:

"When I came back from outside the house just now, I didn't have time to emphasize the danger above, but went directly to the kitchen.

Other players have basically searched the first floor, and the area upstairs will naturally be the place they will explore next."

Just now, when they were in the kitchen, they ran out as soon as they heard the nursery rhyme, for at most one minute, and in such a short time, the monster would never be able to get down from the building and kidnap everyone.

The only explanation is... the players were not downstairs at the time, but upstairs.

And mistakenly underestimated the danger upstairs.

Mo Yi turned his head and looked at Yu Ran, and there was a rare seriousness and caution between his eyebrows and eyes:

"I was almost over the upper floor just now, don't take it lightly."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something and said to Ran at a very fast speed: "Do you still remember the kitchen knife you got in the kitchen? It's better to bring it with you."

The kitchen knife once cut off the tail of the blind mouse, proving that it can harm the monster in this copy, and bringing it with it is beneficial or harmless.

Yu Ran didn't ask him why, but just nodded quickly, turned around and ran back to the kitchen. When he appeared again, there was a rusty blade in his palm.

Although it may not be used, the weapon in hand is at least reassuring.

Mo Yi glanced at the extremely heavy kitchen knife in her hand, and Yu Ran's face was not changed and his face was relaxed, and then he secretly pinched his thin arm that could touch the bones.

Fitness will be effective one day.

The two of them no longer delayed and walked up the stairs one by one.

The flashlight's aperture swayed in the narrow stairwell, and the monotonous nursery rhyme became clearer and louder.

The crooked stairs and the deep darkness in front of you were almost uneasy, and the wooden stairs under your feet made a slight creaking sound.

They stepped on the floor on the second floor, and the smell of rotten wood and dust came to their faces. In addition... there seemed to be a subtle, strange wet smell.

The nursery rhymes became louder and louder.

The two walked forward cautiously, subconsciously holding their breath, deliberately taking light steps almost silently under the cover of the dirty carpet.

At this moment, a strange pounding sound came from my ears, as if it was coming from the darkness at the end of the corridor.

Mo Yi's heart tightened, he grabbed Yu Ran, and hid in the nearest room beside him.

The sound of striking is getting closer and closer to the sound of nursery rhymes. Mo Yi turned off the flashlight, held his breath, and hid himself motionlessly in the darkness.

The heavy and dense pounding sound accompanied by the little girl's sweet song, getting closer and closer to her ears.
