Chapter 918: Message

At the stairs from the second floor to the third floor of the Demon Castle.

Alice and the gold-rimmed glasses man walked in front, while Su Xiao and Bubu Wang were a bit behind.

When Su Xiao stepped onto the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, he felt as if he had penetrated a thin film again. He subconsciously looked at the second floor. The second floor was still in its original appearance, with rows of dining tables neatly arranged.

But from Su Xiao's current perspective, when he looked at the second floor, he actually had a feeling of looking at another world. Although it was close at hand, it was like being separated by thousands of miles.

"This brave one, what's wrong?"

Alice's footsteps stopped, her tone gentle.

"Nothing, just that something was left on the second floor."

"That's a pity."

Alice continued to walk up the stairs.

"Pity?"

Su Xiao indeed had something 'left' on the second floor, which was a coordinate transmitter. This gave him a piece of information, which was that every floor of the castle might be an independent existence, and wanting to return to the second floor or the first floor was almost impossible.

From a sensory point of view, the structure of the castle was very normal, from top to bottom, but in reality, it was not so. Every floor of the castle was strictly sealed. Unless there was guidance from Alice or the Wolf Butler, it was impossible to enter within the castle. That is to say, there was no retreat in the game.

Discovering this point, Su Xiao stepped up toward the stairs.

After pushing open a metal door, Su Xiao arrived at the third floor. The structure of the third floor made him feel somewhat surprised.

The third floor was somewhat like a residential house, about a few hundred square meters in size. The position just entering the third floor was a large living room. The decoration of the living room was somewhat retro, with two rows of crescent-shaped leather sofas facing each other, vaguely forming a circle.

In the center of the sofa, there was a low square stone table, and on the stone table was a small sculpture, which was a sculpture of Alice.

Beside the sculpture were some fruit plates, and the fruits inside had strange shapes, at least Su Xiao had never seen them before.

There were more than a dozen oil paintings hanging on the walls of the living room. The oil paintings were very abstract, like children's graffiti.

On the north side of the living room was a wooden staircase leading upward. This was not the stairs leading to the fourth floor, but leading to a landing. On the inner side of the landing were eight rooms, with the doors tightly closed, and each door was labeled with a number, 1–8.

The structure of the entire third floor made Su Xiao think of a retro-style high-end apartment, which could accommodate eight people, with a shared living room.

After Su Xiao entered the third floor, he found that Pi Pang, the three brothers of the National Football Team, Detective Xiao Luoli, and the Cat Woman, six people, were already sitting on the sofa waiting.

"Everyone is here. Compared to the first two games, this game is very easy. Perhaps after everyone sleeps, the game will end. Before everyone rests, let's draw the room number plates first."

Alice took out eight cards. Each card had a number on one side, 1–8, corresponding to the eight rooms.

Alice sat on the crescent-shaped sofa and spread the cards on the stone table in front. The surface of the stone table was bright and pitch black, which should have been carved out of obsidian.

"Forgot to explain, the smaller the number of the room, the more perfect the facilities."

Alice signaled that they could start drawing cards. The gold-rimmed glasses man was the first to draw, and Pi Pang and others followed suit.

For this kind of drawing session, Su Xiao had always been resistant. However, when the first game ended, his luck attribute permanently +1.

Su Xiao's original luck attribute was 1 point. After Fate Redemption was promoted to purple quality, the newly added equipment effect 'Strong Luck (Passive)' increased his luck attribute by 1 point. Plus this game's improvement, his luck attribute reached 3 points.

What was the effect of 3 points of luck attribute? Su Xiao didn't know for the time being. However, the previous 2 points of luck attribute didn't seem to be anything special.

Holding the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse, Su Xiao drew a card. He looked closely, and the number on the front of the card was surprisingly 2.

This number represented that Su Xiao drew the room with the second-best facilities. For Su Xiao, this was what kind of explosive luck.

"Brother Bai Ye, good luck."

The leader of the National Football Team spoke. The three brothers of the National Football Team had talked with Su Xiao on the first floor, so they called Su Xiao by his code name here, which would not cause others to suspect that the two sides had known each other before.

"It's okay."

Su Xiao felt that he was about to turn his luck around. He didn't need his luck to be very good, just higher than ordinary people, and he could become a European Emperor, because of the existence of Fate Redemption.

"It seems my luck is also not bad."

Detective Xiao Luoli showed her card, on which was written 1.

For the card drawing results, the eight people didn't deliberately hide them. When entering the room, they would expose their respective labels, so hiding was meaningless.

Soon, the card drawing ended, and the results were as follows:

Detective Xiao Luoli: Room 1.

Su Xiao: Room 2.

Pi Pang: Room 3.

Gold-rimmed glasses man: Room 4.

Leader of the National Football Team: Room 5.

Cat Woman: Room 6.

Second brother of the National Football Team: Room 7.

Third brother of the National Football Team: Room 8.

"How about... we swap? Don't you feel this is very awkward?"

The leader of the National Football Team held the card, wanting to swap with the Cat Woman.

"This is very good."

The card 6 flipped in the Cat Woman's hand, and her room was sandwiched between the three brothers of the National Football Team.

"Don't regret it."

The leader of the National Football Team smiled with his thumb out, and a light seemed to flash on his front teeth. He was not threatening.

"Won't regret it."

The Cat Woman also smiled and didn't care about the words of the leader of the National Football Team. And just five minutes later, the Cat Woman regretted it.

"Everyone, go to your rooms and rest."

Alice didn't have a room, she just sat in the living room. Soon, the eight people entered their respective rooms.

Su Xiao pushed open the door of Room 2. This was a thick iron door, giving people a sense of inexplicable security.

The furnishings in the room were very simple: a soft large bed, an independent shower and restroom, and a very tall wardrobe in the corner of the room.

Although the furnishings were simple, there were seven locks on that thick iron door, some of which were very simple, while others were relatively complex.

Su Xiao locked all seven locks. He sat cross-legged on the bed. Up to now, he still didn't know what the game content of the third floor was.

Su Xiao inadvertently looked up to observe the room, and suddenly found lines of small characters written on the ceiling. The colors of these words were different, some were written with a carbon pen, some were carved on it, and some were graffiti with fresh blood.

'Alice is left-handed.'

'Alice hates the smell of musk.'

'Alice is a gentle woman. To be precise, she is not evil, but simply has no concept of good and evil.'

'Lock the door well, although it doesn't mean much, at least it can provide some comfort to the soul.'

'These rooms are not soundproof. You can try sticking to the wall and listening to the movements in other rooms.'

'Familiar-type creatures are also untrustworthy. Servants or followers of higher tiers can be trusted.'

'Before swapping room cards, do not enter other people's rooms, absolutely do not.'

Strange messages were written on the ceiling. What attracted Su Xiao's attention most was a message outlined in fresh blood, which was not long.

'Players after me, do not trust anyone in the game on the third floor. Even if he/she is a brother you lived and died with, or a lover you depended on for life, do not trust him/her for the time being, and tell him/her not to trust you for the time being. This is the information I left for you with my life. On the third floor, strength is the hard truth. Alice's clone is not impossible to confront.' ===== CHAPTER 919 =====
