Chapter 22 Exploring the secrets
"Huh? This..."
At this time, Wang Changle strangely discovered that there was still a fish head hanging on the iron maiden.
He clearly remembered that he had been completely crushed last night, but although the fish head was sluggish and the mucus was almost no longer secreted, the strange thing was that the other party was indeed still alive.
This was obviously a sign of mental trauma, which made him think of a world he had entered into a 'dreamland'. This situation and the damage to his consciousness were extremely revealing.
"Knock knock~"
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and a freckled maid pushed the door open and entered.
"Well, Faile, is this another survivor?"
When she saw Wang Changle, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the freckled maid, and then she looked at Fiona.
"Well, that's right. This is Aude, and this is Qingli."
After Fiona gave a brief introduction, she continued to lie on the crack of the door and look out.
"No need to look, Ruili was caught by those monsters yesterday..."
Qingli patted Fiona on the shoulder and shook her head, indicating that she didn't have to wait any longer.
"Yeah, that's really unfortunate... Then let's start today's exchange meeting!"
Fiona's face turned gloomy for a moment, she sighed, closed the curtain, and sighed.
"Wait a minute, can you please explain to me the current situation first, as well as this Miss Qingli, who is Ruili you just mentioned, and who is the 'Misty' you mentioned twice?"
Wang Changle really couldn't understand the exchange between the two, especially the dress of Qingli, a freckled maid, which made him even more confused.
He remembered that just a quarter of an hour ago, he had knocked him out, but the other party seemed to see his appearance for the first time.
All these weird things made Wang Changle feel a little anxious.
"Well, let me tell you, first of all, congratulations to you, Odd, for surviving the first night. You will be eligible to enter the information exchange between our survivors."
Qingli pressed Fiona down and told Wang Changle that for her, multiple people meant multiple hopes, the hope of escaping from this castle.
"As for this place, it should still be within the old castle, but based on the information we have now, we should have entered a special space."
"Take the red moon as an example, it is divided into two worlds: the 'drinking party during the day' and the 'fluid of the red moon'"
Regarding Qingli's speech, he nodded to show his approval. Two worlds are alternately playing out here.
"In the 'day drinking party', the food at the drinking party will 'contaminate' you depending on how much you eat. He and I are the best examples."
After Qingli finished speaking, she pointed at the curtain and then exposed her wrist. There was also a thin layer of scales on it. Her expression was very painful, as if she had recalled some bad memories.
"Forget it, let me tell you the next thing. The three of us are now the surviving contractors in this castle. In order to survive better, we decided to exchange information here every day."
Fiona sighed and stood up, with a sad look on her eyebrows.
"First of all, as long as they put on maid uniforms, the maids here are almost the same. And the 'Misty' you call was also a contractor who came with us, but now she has become an 'alternative' existence."
"Okay, that's it, I understand, now let's start exchanging messages?"
Wang Changle nodded, looked at Qingli again, and understood.
"Let me tell you first. I explored the entire first floor yesterday and found no door to go out. All doors that are open to the outside will redirect me to a random room once I enter."
Fiona took out a diagram of the proposed castle structure. There were many marks on it, which was obviously the result of exploration.
"It seems that it is impossible to escape normally. I checked the kitchen and sewers last night and found no food delivery channels. They seemed to appear out of thin air."
Qingli also took out a map, which depicted the layout of the entire castle.
The layout of this bulge is far more detailed than Fiona's suggested map.
From the floor distribution of the castle, to the map of the 'day banquet hall' and cloister area, to the rest area on the maid brother's floor, as well as some dangerous areas, they are all listed in detail.
It was obvious that the two men had a clear division of labor and were exploring the castle with a purpose. The purpose was simply to find a way to escape.
"Have you ever thought that we are not actually in the physical world, but in the dream world?"
Wang Changle couldn't help but come up with a new speculation based on the 'cognitive distortion' and 'perception induction' he had encountered before, combined with the information from the two of them and the altar sealing array underground.
"Dream? No, this is impossible. Although my active ability is missing, my passivity is still there. How could someone imprison all of us in the same dream?"
Faced with Wang Changle's speculation, Qingli retorted. She could clearly feel the breath and soul of the people here, real and clear.
"Huh? Wait, Odd, have you discovered anything? You can tell me about it. If it is as you said, how can you prove that this is a dream?"
Fiona clenched her chin, pulled Qingli, and looked over with confusion.
"I can't prove that we are in a dream, but I did kill the fishman friend behind you last night and smashed his head with one punch, but now he is still alive!"
After speaking, Wang Changle opened the curtain and pointed at the half-dead fish head.
For those who have never experienced the strange world of "dreamland", they will definitely not be able to understand the vague concept of the connection between "dreamland" and "reality".
"Although it cannot prove that we are definitely in a dream, his death can at least prove that the world of 'Red Moon Night' is not the 'real world'."
"You said you killed him yesterday? No wonder he is taciturn and depressed today!"
Fiona looked at the drooping fish head thoughtfully, with a hint of thinking in her eyes.
"Even if it can be proven that the world under the red moon is not the real world, what does that mean?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qing Li seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Wang Changle for confirmation, with a flash of hope in his eyes.
"It can at least explain two points. First, death under the red moon is not really death. In other words, not all the contractors who were captured are necessarily dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought that there seemed to be more than a dozen human skeletons at the bottom of the altar, and his voice couldn't help but weaken a bit.
"Hmm. What about the second one?"
When Fiona heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she couldn't help but ask.
"Second, there should be some connection between the world under the red moon and the cocktail party under the daylight. If you want to find a way out, you should also look for it in the world of the cocktail party."
He played with the candlestick next to the bed, but found a trace of dried gel on it.
This discovery made Wang Changle's pupils tremble, and he instantly overturned his first inference.
The candlestick was the weapon he took away yesterday. When he killed the son of Aihot, it was indeed contaminated with a lot of gel material.
However, he had already left this candlestick in another house, and now it appears here again.
If the 'red moon' does not really exist, then this trace will definitely not appear. But the trace is very new, which means that the 'red moon' is not fake.
But the death of the monster will not really die, it will just be mentally damaged. However, if the contractor dies or is captured, he will appear at the underground altar.
Obviously, this 'Red Moon Night' still hides some unknown information, unless the current scene has a mechanism similar to the park's 'recovery' or 'reset'!
Just like resetting the derived world, the difference is that the amount here is not enough to complete the reset, so only a simple position 'restoration' can be achieved!
When he thought about this, Wang Changle seemed to have caught something, but he always felt that he was almost missing something.
"But the 'day drinking party' was full of people, and I didn't have time to collect clues..."
Fiona looked embarrassed. Although the drinking party during the day was relatively low-risk,
But there were crowds of people gathering at the reception, and there were monsters hiding in the dark, so it was difficult for her to investigate without attracting attention.
