"This looks like a cult sacrifice?"

Bude, a veteran player, understood the true meaning of this scene at a glance. In some horror and supernatural games, similar scenes are not uncommon. These cultists are usually the culprits of strange events.

Cultists like to use human sacrifices, tie them to chairs, and then kill them during the ritual.

The scene retains the appearance of the first scene.

Bude stepped forward and shook the chair, but it didn't move at all. When he squatted down and checked, he found that the legs of the chair were fixed to the ground by nails.

Although this scene gives people a sense of horror and curiosity, the sense of fear has been weakened a lot. After all, cultists still belong to the category of human beings.

"Could it be that cultists held rituals and summoned ghosts?" Anderson tried to explain the origin of ghosts.

Bude confirmed his conjecture: "It's very possible. But how to explain the nailed corpses in other rooms?"

Anderson: "Were they part of this sacrificial ritual?"

Bude looked at him with admiration: "It makes sense. I can't tell that your mind is spinning very fast."

The strong blond man smiled sheepishly: "I usually also play some reasoning games."

Edith: "You said, the ones being sacrificed won't be us death row prisoners, right?"

This sentence silenced Bude and Anderson. Bude rubbed his chin: "Probably not. If it is to sacrifice us here, there is no need to put collars on us and survive for seven days."

While they were discussing, Wei Miao was carefully observing the magic circle. As Bude said, this was a typical sacrificial scene. There were stains of blood on the back of the chair, which had turned dark red and black.

But judging from the blood layer, it is not solidified layer by layer, or covering each other. In other words, repeated sacrifices do not exist.

According to Bude, many batches of death row prisoners have come. If they were all really sacrificed, the distribution of blood would not be so harmonious.

But something weird is that the blood stains on the back of the chair are gathered on the surface of the two rear chair legs, winding down from the top, and just in line with the lines of the magic circle at the bottom.

This situation... Wei Miao thought about it for a moment. It should be that the person's hands were tied to two pillars on the back of the chair, and then the blood was bled by cutting the wrists or something like that.

In short, the scene at that time must be linked to blood.

Apart from this magic circle, there is nothing worth paying attention to in the room.

It was getting late, and the sky was turning toward evening. The four of them hurriedly left the seventh floor. When they returned to the third floor, they were relieved from the strange and gloomy pressure, and they felt a lot more relaxed.

After dinner, Wei Miao returned to 306. In front of the mirror in the shower room, she saw the metal collar around her neck.

Countdown 5:14:36.

It seems that there is still a lot of time, but the continuous beating of the countdown makes the passage of life visible, and a sense of urgency arises spontaneously.

Lying flat on the bed, Wei Miao was sorting out her thoughts.

The clues on the seventh floor are the key at present. It should be said that all the strange things are concentrated on the seventh floor, and the other floors are just confusing options.

The uncertain information currently available includes:

1. The activities of ghosts are time-based, roughly between 0:00 and 1:00. The location at other times is unknown. It has caused major massacres and is suspected to have been restricted.

But what considerations did the people who took over later retain the ceremony venue on the seventh floor after cleaning up the scene, and use the hotel as a play place for the condemned prisoners?

2. The twelve corpses in Rooms 701 to 712 were ritually disposed of, and are suspected to be related to the sacrifices in Room 713. Judging from their clothes, combined with the information provided by Bude when he first arrived on the first day, it is possible that they died in an unknown massacre before.

hotel guests in.

3. The ghost may move in a physical form, with sharp beast-like claws, and make a loud and dull sound when walking. From this point of view, it seems that this ghost is more similar to a monster?

Room 4,713 is special. Not only because of the sacrificial rituals in it, but also because there are almost no traces of ghosts entering this room, and there are a lot of traces of ghosts opening the doors on the door handles from 701 to 712. However, there is another explanation.

Stay in 713 before going out for activities, leave the door open while you are out, and close the door when you return to 713.

But there is a problem with this explanation. If the ghost stayed in 713 the rest of the time, they saw no sign of the ghost when they entered. Moreover, Wei Miao recalled the condition of the door of 713, and there was no trace of the ghost on the internal door handle.

The scratches indicate that the ghost did not open the door from the inside.

In other words, ghosts basically never touch this door. So where do ghosts stay the rest of the time? Do they only appear in the hotel during specific times?

The strange behavior of the ghost last night and the layout of the seventh floor gave Wei Miao some vague and bold guesses, but she needed some verification.

If there is anyone who knows this hotel best, it must be the manager who lives on the first floor.

Wei Miao found that they all subconsciously ignored the administrator. As the only living NPC in the hotel, he was of immeasurable value to the players. However, his bad attitude at the beginning made the players dislike him less.

Dropped sharply and stayed away.

Wei Miao quietly went out and went down to the first floor.

Pizza is sitting in front of the counter, holding a cigarette in his mouth and expressionless. Looking at the posture of holding the mobile phone, he is playing a game.

Wei Miao did not cover her steps and walked forward naturally, using her height to catch a glimpse of his mobile phone screen.

It seems to be a 2D side-scrolling fighting game that requires operational skills. As the opponent made a sudden attack, Pisa's character fell to the ground with only a trace of blood left, and the screen turned gray.

Pisa couldn't see any frustration. He put down the phone calmly and stared at her with sharp blue eyes: "What's the matter?"

Wei Miao endured the smell of smoke and smiled gently: "I'm sorry to bother you. I have something to ask you."

Pizza responded with an unrelated question: "Can you play fighting games?"

Wei Miao was stunned: "I know a little bit."

Pizza took out another mobile phone from the counter drawer and said neatly: "I'm playing a game called 'Infinite Death Match' recently. You and I will match each other. If you win, I'll look at my mood and do it as long as it doesn't violate the rules."

I will answer your question under the circumstances. Of course, I will not answer those core sensitive questions and the question will be invalid."

Wei Miao realized that this might be the only safe way to obtain information provided by the copy.

There is a sentence written on the official website: "If you want to stand out in "Masquerade", you'd better turn yourself into an almighty superman; or cooperate with your teammates and use their respective expertise to obtain information that only you can obtain.

Required.”

The test to be passed this time is actually FTG gaming ability, which is a bit outrageous but also reasonable at the same time.
