Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 930: Chapter 19: Messages

The staircase from the second level to the third level of the ancient castle.

Alice and the Golden Glasses Man walked in front, while Su Xiao and Bubu Wang were positioned slightly behind.

When Su Xiao stepped onto the staircase leading from the second to the third level, he once again felt as if he had penetrated a thin membrane. He instinctively looked back at the second level, which was still in its original form, with rows of dining tables neatly arranged.

But from Su Xiao’s current perspective, looking towards the second level felt like gazing into another world, close yet seemingly thousands of miles apart.

”This brave hero, what’s the matter?”

Alice stopped her steps, her tone gentle.

”Nothing, just something left behind on the second level.”

”That’s truly unfortunate.”

Alice continued to walk up the stairs.

”Unfortunate?”

Su Xiao indeed had something ’left behind’ on the second level, it was a coordinate transmitter, which provided him with one piece of information: each level of the ancient castle might exist independently, making returning to the second or first level almost impossible.

Structurally, the castle looked normal, from top to bottom. In actuality, each level of the castle was tightly sealed, and without guidance from Alice or the wolf steward, entering within the castle was impossible, which meant there was no retreat in the game.

Realizing this, Su Xiao lifted his foot and headed upwards.

After pushing open a metal door, Su Xiao arrived at the third level, the structure of which surprised him slightly.

The third level resembled a residential house, around a few hundred square meters in size. Upon entering, he found a large living room. The decoration in 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 sofas was a low square stone table, on which sat a small sculpture of Alice.

Next to the sculpture were several fruit trays, filled with fruits of peculiar shapes that Su Xiao had never seen before.

On the walls of the living room hung more than a dozen oil paintings, very abstract, like children’s doodles.

On the north side of the living room was an upward wooden staircase, not leading to the fourth level, but to a platform, where eight rooms lined the inside, their doors closed tight, each with a numbered label, 1-8.

The whole structure of the third level reminded Su Xiao of a retro-style high-level apartment, suitable for accommodating eight people with a shared living room.

After entering the third level, Su Xiao discovered that Pibang, the National Team Brothers, the Detective Little Girl, and the Cat Woman were already seated on the sofas, waiting.

”Everyone’s here. Compared to the previous two games, this one is very relaxed. Perhaps after everyone sleeps, the game will be over. Before you rest, let’s draw room number cards first.”

Alice took out eight cards, each numbered from 1 to 8 corresponding to the eight rooms.

Sitting on the crescent-shaped sofa, Alice spread the cards on the shiny, pitch-black stone table, which seemed to be carved from obsidian.

”Forgot to mention, the lower the room number, the better the facilities.”

Alice indicated that they could start drawing cards. The Golden Glasses Man was the first to draw, followed by Pibang and others.

Su Xiao was always resistant to such drawing stages, but after the first game ended, his Luck Attributes permanently increased by one.

Su Xiao’s original Luck Attributes were 1 point. After Fate Redemption was promoted to Purple Quality, the newly added Equipment Effect of 3 Strong Luck (Passive) increased his Luck Attributes by 1 point. With this game’s increase, his Luck Attributes reached 3 points.

What effect does 3 points of Luck Attributes have? Su Xiao didn’t know for now, however, the previous 2 points didn’t seem promising.

Holding onto the mindset of killing two birds with one stone, Su Xiao drew a card, and upon closer inspection, the number on the card was surprisingly 2.

This number meant Su Xiao drew the second-ranked room in terms of facilities, an unbelievably lucky stroke for Su Xiao.

”Brother Bai Ye, good luck, eh?”

The National Foot Boss spoke up; the National Team Brothers had conversed with Su Xiao on the first level, thus calling Su Xiao by his alias wouldn’t arouse suspicion that they had known each other before.

”It’s alright.”

Su Xiao felt he was about to turn his luck around. He didn’t need exceedingly good fortune, just higher luck than ordinary people to become a European King, thanks to Fate Redemption.

”Seems my luck is good too.”

The Detective Little Girl revealed her card, which showed a 1.

No one intentionally concealed their card draw results; the room number would be apparent when entering their respective rooms, so hiding was pointless.

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

The Detective Little Girl - Room 1.

Su Xiao - Room 2.

Pibang - Room 3.

The Golden Glasses Man - Room 4.

The National Foot Boss - Room 5.

The Cat Woman - Room 6.

The National Foot Elder Two - Room 7.

The National Foot Elder Three - Room 8.

...

”How about... we swap? Didn’t you find it awkward?”

The National Foot Boss held a card, proposing an exchange with the Cat Woman.

”It’s fine.”

The Cat Woman flipped the card marked 6, her room was sandwiched among the National Team Brothers.

”Don’t regret it.”

The National Foot Boss grinned, revealing a gleam from his front teeth, his words not threatening.

”No regrets.”

The Cat Woman smiled back, not minding the National Foot Boss’s words, but within a short five minutes, the Cat Woman regretted.

”Everyone, go rest in your rooms.”

Alice had no room, she simply sat in the living room. Soon, the eight people entered their respective rooms.

Su Xiao pushed open Room 2’s door, a heavy iron door, evoking a sense of inexplicable security.

The room was simply furnished, with a soft large bed, an independent shower, and bathroom, and a very tall wardrobe in the corner.

The furnishing was simple, but the heavy iron door had seven locks, some easy, some complicated.

Su Xiao locked all seven locks, then sat cross-legged on the bed. So far, he did not know what the content of the game on the third level was.

Casually glancing up to survey the room, Su Xiao suddenly discovered several lines of small writing on the ceiling, in various colors, some written in pencil, some engraved, some smeared in blood.

”Alice is left-handed.”

”Alice hates musk scent.”

”Alice is a gentle woman, to be exact, she isn’t evil, but lacks a concept of good and evil.”

”Lock the door although it’s largely symbolic, at least providing some mental comfort.”

”These rooms are not soundproof, try pressing against the wall to listen to the movements of other rooms.”

”Familiars can’t be trusted either, servants or higher-tiered servants can be trusted.”

”Before exchanging room cards, don’t enter others’ rooms, absolutely not.”

...

A peculiar and bizarre message covered the ceiling, among which the blood-etched line drew Su Xiao’s utmost attention, its content brief.

”To my fellow gamers, in the third level game, trust no one, even if he/she is your life-and-death brother, or your lover who sacrificed all, do not trust them temporarily, and tell them not to trust you temporarily either. It’s a message I left with my life for you. On the third level, strength rules; Alice’s clones aren’t undefeatable.”
