Chapter 98
The doctor was silent for a moment before replying You Xi, “… Pass.”
Ding!
Every player could hear the crisp sound of the dice dropping to the ground.
[Failed the Inspiration check.]
[Do you think this is just a normal temple? There’s nothing special about it.]
The detective complained, “As long as you’re not blind, you can tell there’s something wrong with the temple.”
There were only a few places that horror movies could take place: hospitals, schools, apartments, and temples.
Moreover, every special place in the game’s dungeon had its uses. It was impossible to set up a useless place for no reason.
The doctor said, “There’s nothing we can do. According to the rules, if we can’t pass the Inspiration check, we won’t be able to find any important clues.”
The detective said, “This stupid game has always been unreliable. Let’s go take a look at the temple.”
The doctor said, “But our main mission isn’t to go to the temple. If we fail the Inspiration check, we won’t be able to find any clues. Let’s go report to the place we should go.”
She seemed to be treating this game as a real-life team racing game. She thought that this was just like a team racing game where dying would only tear up the character card and would not cause any harm to herself.
However, the other players thought about it and realized that the doctor was right.
There might be ghosts hiding in the temple. Their mission wasn’t to provoke ghosts but to complete the main mission according to their identities.
The photographer thought for a moment before taking out the camera in his bag to take a picture of the temple.
In that second, the temple was frozen in the camera’s screen.
From the screen, the surroundings of the temple suddenly darkened. The red wall outside looked like it had been splashed with a layer of blood. It was so thick that it couldn’t be melted.
“It looks creepy.” The photographer put away his camera.
At that moment, the old man who had driven them there sauntered over. Seeing the group of people staring at the temple in the distance, he introduced it cheerfully, “This is the temple for the girls in our village. It’s very efficacious. However, it’s too late today. You can go there tomorrow to burn some incense. Your request will be granted.”
He turned around and pointed. “This is the hotel. If you have anything to do, do it during the day.”
When the last word was said, the sky suddenly darkened. Dark clouds covered the sky and lightning flashed occasionally.
The doctor shrunk his head in fear.
The old man fanned himself. “It’s going to rain. Hurry up and go home to collect your clothes.”
He pulled on his slippers and disappeared into the alley.
The alleyway was filled with old-fashioned buildings that were densely packed together. The pale walls were inlaid with squarish windows that looked like pairs of black eyes that were watching the group of outsiders.
Doctor: “Do you listen to Sir?”
The old man’s words revealed a message.
He definitely had to go to the Maiden Temple, and it was best not to go out at night.
Shen Dongqing lazily leaned on Zhou Wenyan’s shoulder and listened to the three players’ discussion.
The detective said, “Let’s listen to Sir first and take action tomorrow.”
Just as the players decided to head to the inn first, the rain started to fall. Fortunately, it wasn’t heavy, so they didn’t mind it and ran wildly in the rain.
Patter —
There was a certain amount of rainwater on the eaves, and the water droplets slid down drop by drop.
Shen Dongqing stretched out his hand to catch it. Two drops of water fell into his palm.
The rainwater didn’t look clear, and when he got closer, he could smell a faint fishy smell.
Zhou Wenyan took off his jacket. “Come here.”
