One second, two seconds... Fifteen seconds passed and nothing happened...
Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly realized something.
“These words are left by me. If my first reaction is wrong, then there should be three lines instead of two, because I will die once more.
With my own wisdom, if I could choose, every time I die, I will never leave any clues at the place where I am, but will go to the place where I have a high probability of passing through and leave the methods I have discovered to deal with the Red Wedding Dress.
In other words, turning off the lights and letting the shadow blend into the darkness can help deal with the person in the red wedding dress behind you.
The candlestick was so close to me, it was most likely the first prop I would touch, and I had not realized the problem with the shadow before, which meant that I was likely to die at the hands of the shadow the first time.
Restore the scene.
Most likely, I was killed by a shadow the first time, and I was left with the habit of being careful with shadows.
The second time I saw him being careful of the shadow, he dealt with the shadow successfully, and then died for unknown reasons, leaving a hint that he couldn't be formed. "
At this moment, Qi Ge suddenly realized a problem:
“Be careful with the shadow, don’t let it take shape… those are all four words.
The longer you live, the more hints you can leave behind...
The second time I died shortly after successfully dealing with the shadow."
The danger is not over yet...
Qi Ge took a deep breath and walked towards the door cautiously.
According to the location in his memory, Qi Ge came to the door and became confused.
Now here comes the question.
If he turned on the candle, he would face the threat of the shadow ghost behind him. If he didn't turn on the candle, he would not be able to see the situation around him clearly.
It is too dangerous to open the door without a light source.
"We can only experiment first."
Qi Ge put his hand on the candle and pressed it down hard.
Behind Qi Ge, a green light illuminated the sky, and a black shadow reappeared.
This time, Qi Ge finally saw his own shadow clearly. It was an almost perfect circle.
And this circle is gradually changing from perfect to imperfect, slowly wriggling and moving closer to the appearance of the girl.
Qi Ge quickly extinguished the candle and opened it again. The shadow of the red wedding dress turned back into a perfect circle.
"It seems that shadow formation needs to start over every time it is interrupted. This is good news."
Qi Ge finally felt relieved.
Even a flickering light source is better than no light at all.
He put his ear to the door, trying to listen to what was going on outside.
But the nanmu door was too thick and Qi Ge could hear nothing.
"Don't worry, search the room before opening the door."
Qi Ge was about to turn around and search the room when he suddenly realized a problem.
"The second time, I was probably thinking the same thing as I am now, searching the room, so he died the second time.
Because this is my personality. I always seek to be steady. If I can develop in a safe place first, I will not take risks.
So, if you stay here for too long, you will most likely die.
Go! Get out of here. "
Qi Ge made up her mind, and she put down the candlestick without hesitation, grabbed the door handle of the heavy wooden door with both hands, leaned back hard, and pulled the door open.
“Crunch~~”
The three-meter-tall wooden door made a loud sound, which was extremely harsh in the darkness.
When the door opened a crack, the light from outside came in.
"Well, there's light outside!"
Qi Ge lay in the crack of the door and looked outside.
Outside the door was a long corridor with luxurious carpets embroidered with various leaf and flower patterns all the way to the right corner at the end of the corridor.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are hung with candlesticks similar to those on the Seven Doves.
These candlesticks all emit a faint green light, making the entire corridor look eerie and strange.
"It seems safe..."
Qi Ge opened the door a crack and was about to go out when his heart suddenly started beating fast.
"No, that's not right. The light outside means there will be shadows under my feet.
This corridor is more than 20 meters long, and the shadow takes so little time to form that I absolutely cannot extinguish all the candles before the shadow takes shape."
Qi Ge retreated back to the room, his mind racing.
"Yes! Got it!"
He hid from the light, ran to his bed in the dimness, and pulled off his quilt.
Qi Ge deliberately ran to the bright spot in the room, waited for a shadow to appear, and then covered himself with a quilt.
He looked outside through the gap in the quilt. His shadow had become a blur under his feet, but the outline of the quilt could be clearly seen.
Shadow's red wedding dress is gone!
“Sure enough, Shadow Red Wedding Dress is my shadow. As long as I stay under the quilt, the light will shine through the quilt’s shadow.
This is the perfect solution.”
Qi Ge let out a breath, looked at the safe room reluctantly, and walked out carefully wrapped in a quilt.
He thought something might happen in the corridor and was very cautious, but nothing happened until he was almost at the right corner.
"Corridor passed, safe."
Just as Qi Ge was relieved, he turned a corner and saw a conspicuous purple word on the ground:
Don't pay attention to her!
"Can't pay attention to her?!
She? Who? "
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded at the end of the corridor.
“Da…da…da…”
As the footsteps got closer, a black shadow appeared on the ground getting closer and closer.
Qi Ge wanted to turn around and run back to the room, but it was too late. A girl dressed in Lolita had already walked out from the corner.
Her bright red dress seemed a little dim in the green light, forming a sharp contrast with her blood-red eyes.
Her face is as delicate as a painting, her skin is as white as snow, and her red lips are slightly raised, as if she is a fairy walking out of a painting.
Her silver hair was shining brightly, exuding a hint of coolness.
The moment she appeared, Qi Ge clearly felt that the atmosphere around her became depressing and heavy.
When the girl saw the seven pigeons, her eyes widened slightly and she seemed very surprised.
She lifted her skirt and whispered:
"Oh, honey. I was just about to pick you up, but I didn't expect you were already up.
The bridal chamber is ready. Come with me and change your clothes, our bridegroom."
The bright red Lolita dress of the Lolita girl fluttered gently in her hand, like a blooming flower.
Every movement she made was full of grace and rhythm, as if she was dancing a gorgeous dance.
However, Qi Ge felt that beneath her beautiful appearance, there was an unfathomable horror hidden. Her eyes revealed an unspeakable hunger, yet with a deep coldness and cruelty.
It seemed as if her beauty was only for the purpose of better capturing her prey.
Ignore her!!
At this moment, Qi Ge seemed to hear a heart-wrenching cry in his mind!
This is a warning from myself who has already died once!
He immediately adjusted his expression, covered his face with the quilt, and walked forward without stopping.
"My dear, my sisters all said that we would have a great time tonight.
Sister Night Demon prepared a bloody heart, Sister Blood Shadow prepared a head that you can’t finish eating, and Sister Stone Heart found eyes that you can’t close. These are all my dear’s favorite foods.”
The Lolita girl opened her arms as if to welcome the seven pigeons, but the seven pigeons seemed not to see her and ran straight into her.
The magical thing is that when the seven pigeons hit the Lolita girl's body, she was like a non-existent phantom and was instantly pierced through by the seven pigeons.
The moment he passed through the girl's body, Qi Ge felt a bone-chilling chill. His heart ached as if it was crushed, and his breathing almost stopped.
But he got through it and did not die.
Although her body was pierced by Qi Ge, the Lolita girl acted as if nothing had happened. She just followed Qi Ge with a frown on her face and said unhappily:
"Why doesn't my dear want to talk to me tonight?
Leng Yu, did I do something wrong?
Honey? Honey? Don't leave, come and see me."
Next, the Lolita girl launched a series of harassments on the seven pigeons who were in a hurry on their way.
For example, when the seven pigeons were walking, they suddenly jumped in front of the seven pigeons and shouted loudly;
Or when the Seven Pigeons turned around, he would suddenly put his face against the Seven Pigeons' face;
Or he might deliberately walk in front of Qige, blocking the direction Qige was going, and slowly take off his clothes while walking;
But more often than not, she kept chattering in Qi Ge's ear, trying to attract Qi Ge's attention in various ways.
“It seems that this Lolita girl named Leng Yu can’t have any influence on me as long as I ignore her.
But she keeps harassing me, it's really annoying.
If I'm not careful and react to her actions, I might die."
Qi Ge finally walked through the long corridor, and a huge yellow wooden door appeared in front of Qi Ge.
This yellow wood is the [Sinking Earth Wood] that was common during the Elf Empire. It has excellent magic resistance and is generally used in some relatively precious places.
Qi Ge observed carefully along the way. From his bedroom to here, there were no other exits or forks in the entire corridor.
In other words, this is the only way to the next scene.
"Then there is a high possibility that there are clues left by me here."
Just as Qi Ge was about to look for it, Leng Yu suddenly leaned close to Qi Ge's ear and said in a deep voice, changing her playful and gentle tone:
"Honey, are you sure you want to go out now?
You haven't changed your clothes yet. If you meet the other sisters like this, they will be unhappy.
I’ll give you one last chance. Come back with me to change your clothes, or else…”
"I will kill you!!!"
With the last sound, Leng Yudi's voice suddenly rose several pitches, as sharp as a knife scraping across glass, which frightened Qi Ge so much that his back shuddered.
Fortunately, his entire body was hidden in the quilt, allowing him to adjust his facial expression in time.
Just when Qi Ge adjusted his facial expression, Leng Yu suddenly passed through Qi Ge's body and turned back quickly, his face pressed tightly against Qi Ge's face, and asked coldly:
"Can you really not see me?"
Qi Ge was extremely nervous, but he didn't react at all. Instead, he continued to look for something on the ground.
"You really can't see me. Forget it, it seems that I am not the bride you want to marry."
Leng Yu sighed softly, turned around and walked into the huge yellow wooden door.
"Did you pass it?"
Qi Ge felt a little relieved, but it was only then that his heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.
Boom, boom, boom... His heart rate suddenly soared to nearly 180 and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Ha! You lied to me, you saw me!"
At this moment, Leng Yu suddenly emerged from the wooden door again.
Her appearance changed drastically, she was no longer as beautiful as before, her face became extremely pale, the nails on her hands were sharp and red, her mouth opened wide, revealing two pairs of extremely sharp fangs!
She waved her hands and pounced towards the seven pigeons.
Qi Ge's pupils shrank, but he shouted happily:
"Oh, so here it is. I found it."
Qi Ge took a step forward and bumped into Leng Yu, but still passed through Leng Yu's body.
He held the door handle and said to himself:
“So the door handle is here.”
“Haas, Haas…Haas…stop pretending, I know you saw me.
I am your bride, stay with me forever."
Behind Qi Ge, Leng Yu's voice was still coming.
But Qi Ge firmly refused to respond to her.
He moved his feet slightly, revealing a line of purple text he had just discovered:
【She is lying to you! 】
"Obviously, here I am, dying again.
I was indifferent when she took off her clothes and raised her butt, but I was tricked to death here.
Fuck! This Red Wedding Dress is so sinister, she can even act. "
Qi Ge took a deep breath and was about to pull the door open, but he pulled the tube of the door handle down.
"Ouch. Huh?"
Qi Ge used too much force and fell to the ground. He looked at the copper pipe in his hand in confusion and was surprised to see an attribute panel pop up.
【Time Stop Copper (White)
Gift of Wealth
Effect: Pause time for 30 seconds, during which only you can act. 】
"Time stop!"
Qi Ge was delighted, thinking this was a life-saving artifact, the goddess of wealth was awesome!
"Ah, Sister Xueying, you are here too."
At this moment, Leng Yu's voice suddenly sounded in Qi Ge's ears.
His pupils shrank as he suddenly realized that the quilt was pressed behind him because he fell.
He quickly wrapped the quilt around himself again and looked at the ground.
The shadow that was gradually taking shape shook and turned back into a ball.
"Goodbye, Sister Xueying. Well, I will keep an eye on the groom and will never let him run away."
Behind Qi Ge, Leng Yu, who had returned to his original appearance, was squatting on the ground and talking to Qi Ge's shadow.
"It was a close call. I almost died in vain." Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't expect Leng Yu to be able to remind me of the appearance of the other red wedding dresses. She saved my life.
No, that's not right, how can I feel grateful to Leng Yu, once at the corner and once at the gate, I have died at her hands at least twice."
“My shadow Red Wedding Dress is called Blood Shadow, and the one behind me who wants to get my attention is called Leng Yu.
Leng Yu had mentioned Night Demon and Stone Heart before.
Blood Shadow is a shadow, Leng Yu's body is very cold, and perhaps the names of these red wedding dresses all hint at something."
Qi Ge took a deep breath and sat up from the ground.
He was reluctant to use the Time-Stop Bronze to get rid of Leng Yu. Compared to the Red Wedding Dress that he already knew how to deal with, those Red Wedding Dresses that had not yet appeared posed a greater threat to Qi Ge.
Qi Ge grabbed the door handle on the other side and pulled it hard twice, but it didn't come off. It seemed that only one side of the door handle was a prop prepared by the Goddess of Wealth, which made Qi Ge quite regretful.
Pulling the door open forcefully, Qi Ge hid under the quilt and peeked out of the door.
Outside the gate is a spacious courtyard.
Above the sky, there were two suspicious red celestial bodies emitting red light, like two blood moons, dyeing the entire courtyard blood red.
The Seven Pigeons carefully observed the courtyard. In the center of the courtyard was a large fountain. Around the fountain were roads leading to four different directions, one of which was the gate where the Seven Pigeons were.
Around the road were neatly trimmed flower beds, and the flowers in each flower bed were different. Qi Ge recognized two of the flowers, namely Star Grass and Forest Moss, both of which were common plants during the Elf Empire period.
On these flower beds, there are different stone sculptures - a girl stroking the neck of a unicorn, a ranger carrying a bow and arrow practicing shooting, and a pair of male and female elks leaning against each other...
On the surface, everything outside seemed peaceful and there was no danger, but against the backdrop of the "red moon", it seemed a little eerie and strange.
Qi Ge wrapped in a quilt squeezed out from the crack in the door.
Behind him, Leng Yu stopped at the door and shouted anxiously:
"Honey, don't go out. You haven't changed your clothes yet. The sisters will be unhappy to see you like this. Come back with me and change your clothes."
But Qi Ge ignored her and walked towards the fountain without looking back.
He saw the puddle!
"The Sea God reminded me that all pools of water are my refuges. When I encounter danger, I can hide in the water to seek survival!
Although the pool of water is not invincible, it is definitely much safer than outside.
The task requires you to survive for five hours. The probability of dying from running around is definitely higher than the probability of dying from hiding in a pool of water.
And, if it were me, I would definitely…"
Qi Ge ran quickly to the fountain, wrapped himself in a blanket, and jumped into the fountain in one step.
Crash!
Qi Ge entered the fountain, and all the coldness in his body disappeared. His body felt warm and even his heartbeat became much steadier.
A sense of security surged into Qi Ge's heart.
He looked outside from the pool. Leng Yu, who had been following him out, actually stood there in a daze for a moment after he jumped into the pool.
He heard Leng Yu muttering to himself anxiously:
"Hey? Hey? Hey?!! Where's my dear? Was he here just now?
It’s over, it’s over. I lost my dear. Sister Ye Yao will definitely teach me a lesson.
Could it be that, dear, has you gone back to change your clothes?
Darling! Darling, where are you? Darling! "
Qi Ge saw Leng Yu shouting loudly and running back to the yellow gate with her skirt lifted up.
But he clearly jumped into the fountain in front of Leng Yu, but Leng Yu didn't notice it at all. The scene was extremely weird.
“Woo woo woo, is this the protection of the Sea God?
Ah. This sense of security.
Qi Ge was inexplicably moved.
He lowered his head and looked at the bottom of the fountain.
"Hiss..." In an instant, the seven pigeons were stunned.
At the bottom of the fountain, there are densely packed purple words.
"This, this, this...it's really me who thought of the same thing.
This is the first safe spot coming out of the corridor.
It is a necessary route and a safe spot, so I will definitely keep as much information as possible here."
“But, twice in the bedroom, twice in the hallway, I’ve died four times just here.
There are 3 times left. Can I write so many words? "
With doubts, Qi Ge read it carefully.
It was obvious that my previous self had already thought about the fact that I would die repeatedly, and each row was written in order.
[If you stay in the water pond, you will die, water soul.]
The Stone Heart is a statue, keep an eye on her! Find peaches to regain your energy.
If you spot pink mist, run.
You must follow the Night Demon's instructions, stop once, move twice.
Don't go into a pond with reflections, because the reflections are water spirits. Staying in the same room with Mizang will lead to death.
The pink mist is the blood charm. Find the seal to seal the blood charm. Don't let the song finish, or you will die.
In the last hour, the red moon appears, and all ghosts will be strengthened. Collect props as soon as possible, otherwise you can't hold on; the top of the bedroom bookshelf, the horn of the unicorn, the wings of the golden dragon, the arms of the tree man. Always pay attention to other shadows, blood shadows will appear from other shadows. 】
Looking at this long list of messages, Qi Ge took a deep breath.
“Good fellow.
7 messages, plus twice in the hallway and twice in the bedroom. I've died 11 times!
Finding peaches can restore your energy... Are peaches an item that restores your energy? So I made it to 11 times and still had 30 energy points left.
The last message is particularly long, but the previous ones are very short.
That is to say, last time I survived until the last hour based on the previous comments, and then was caught off guard by the sudden increase in difficulty.
Staying in the pool will kill you, forming a shadow will kill you, singing will kill you... Shit, so many ways to die, and you have to strengthen it at the end? How perverted is this treasure house?
Calm down, calm down, let me do the math.
Blood Shadow, Cold Jade, Water Soul, Stone Heart, Night Demon, Blood Charm, an unknown singing red wedding dress, Hide and Seek, Red Moon.
These are nine...finished, ten red wedding dresses, and one more!"
Seven pigeons have toothache:
"I died eleven times but still couldn't find all the red wedding dresses.
I didn’t even tell you what Chiyue’s abilities are, I just said she would appear. How could I be so irresponsible, the other me?
Tsk, it could also be that there is another me who didn’t live to see the Red Moon.
In the last hour, the blood shadow will emerge from other shadows...
Fuck, this is too insidious. I can’t blame the other me.”
Qi Ge looked at his thighs and seemed to vaguely see 30 points of energy emerging.
"Finding peaches can restore your energy points. Each death will cause you to lose 10 energy points. You can also leave a message.
In other words, if the peach I find restores more than 10 points of energy, I can leave a message without any damage.
The Goddess of Wealth said that all items will be refreshed every time you die.
The last location hint I left was most likely where he found the key item.
Of course, there could be other meanings..."
Qi Ge raised his head and looked through the pool at the statue of the girl stroking the unicorn.
"We'll know after we give it a try. Could this be the horn of a unicorn?"
Qi Ge carefully observed the surroundings in the pond and did not find anything wrong.
He took a deep breath and jumped out of the pool wrapped in a wet blanket.
The magical thing was that the moment he was completely out of the pool of water, the wet quilt dried up instantly, as if all the water had been sucked back into the fountain.
Qi Ge looked around with a sly look in his eyes, then cautiously approached the unicorn statue and the girl. He held the unicorn's horn and gently broke it!
With a snap, it broke off!
