Chapter 4 Homeowners

When he opened the door and walked in, Xia Yu was a little surprised that the store looked quite normal. He walked into it. The board game store looked quite large. The lobby on the first floor was semi-open. You could see many customers along the way.

Some people play chess and cards, some people play DND board games, and some people read books with coffee.

It was completely different from the place like some evil organization. This relaxed atmosphere made Xia Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time he became a little nervous. Could it be that he had found the wrong place?

When I walked to the bar, a girl dressed in a punk video game was holding a phone and chatting with someone. She was having fun and she made a giggle from time to time.

"Hello, I want to ask..." He opened his mouth, but somehow he spoke, so he simply raised the watch in his hand. The girl glanced at him, and when she saw the watch, she immediately turned into a very professional smile, and guided her very gentlely, "Hello sir, the VIP room is on the third floor. When the road reaches the end, go up to the third floor and turn right."

Is the VIP room? Xia Yu thought to himself that he had found the right place.

I went up the stairs to the third floor and saw a room door with VIP written on it.

They had no locks, so he pushed open the door and walked into a quiet corridor. A black door appeared in front of him. The door looked completely different from the style of the store. The door frame was bronze, with strange patterns and symbols carved on it, and the door panel was pitch black. A strange human face relief was located in the middle of the door, with eyes closed, and the face was surrounded by tentacles and eyeballs. I don’t know if it was an old effect or it was really for many years. It looked mottled and old, making the door look strange and inexplicable.

Xia Yu felt palpitations. The door looked a little cunning, which made him feel relaxed again.

While he was hesitating whether to go in, a frivolous laugh suddenly came from behind him. When Xia Yu turned around, he saw a man in a straight suit coming over while laughing and making a phone call. The watch on the other party immediately attracted Xia Yu's attention, exactly the same as in his hand.

The man was stunned when he saw Xia Yu, but immediately reacted, "Newbie?"

Before Xia Yu could answer, the man waved his hand impatiently, squeezed past Xia Yu, pushed the door and walked in.

Xia Yu looked inside and saw that there was a board game room inside.

The long game table is covered with black velvet cloth, and there are twelve slightly exaggerated seats around it. There is a more exaggerated throne at the end of the game table, which should be the seat for the host.

There is a door behind the game table, and I don't know where it leads.

There are some other decorations in the room, seats for resting by the wall, coffee machines and snack vending machines in the corner, three gorgeously shaped machines are placed side by side by side of the wall, and there are pull rods and buttons next to them, which seem to be some kind of lottery game machine.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a game room.

Xia Yu felt more and more confused. Could it be that he was thinking too much? Chu Mo's death actually had nothing to do with it, it was just a coincidence?

No, it's impossible! He secretly reminded himself that Chu Mo's strange behavior in those days could never have been for no reason.

He walked into the room and carefully observed the others in the room.

There are seven or eight people in this room besides him.

The guy in the suit just now looked very polite and looked very socially elite. At this time, he was smiling and greeting two other people. One of them had a flat head, glasses, and sharp eyes, while the other was wearing a turtleneck sweater and a beard, looking very casual.

The three of them all looked very leisurely.

A middle-aged man sat in the corner, holding a book to read, but it turned out to be the original English version of "Freud". He had a strange bookish atmosphere that made people subconsciously connect him with his university teacher.

A young girl who should still be a student, sat in the corner playing with her cell phone, occasionally glanced at her around her for a few moments. When she saw Xia Yu, she was obviously stunned.

A young man dressed in a sloppy dress, drinking drinks one cup after another.

These people seem to have nothing in common, and Xia Yu was unable to draw any reliable conclusions from his observations. At this time, a woman walked towards him.

The woman has a very healthy figure. She looks like the kind of person who often exercises. She has a full face, sneakers, jeans, and a tight T-shirt, which outlines the bulging figure with a squint in front and a ponytail. Her hair is tied into a ponytail, looking energetic and neat, holding a bottle of mineral water in her hand.

"Newbie?" the woman asked.

Xia Yu nodded, his eyes barely moving away from the other party's turbulent chest.

"I am Xuanniao, whose watch is in your hand?"

Xuanniao? What a strange name, is it the online name? Xia Yu thought to himself, "My roommate's."

"Do you have short black hair, deep eyes, and clothes follow the crowd, and don't like to talk much?" Xuanniao asked.

Deep eyes? I didn't pay attention to this, but the other descriptions are quite appropriate.

"That's right, it's him. Do you know Chu Mo?"

"Chu Mo? So he was called this name," the woman sighed, her face slightly darkened.

"Of course I know him, but I only knew that his code name was Black Warrior. We played a few games together, so it was barely a friend. How did he die?"

Xia Yu felt a stern when he heard this. He had guessed correctly before. There was indeed a problem here. He did not answer and asked, "How do you know he is dead?"

"I've drawn [God of Death's Gaze]. I've never heard of anyone who can survive. Since he didn't come, he must be dead."

The gaze of the god of death? You can probably guess what it means by hearing the name, but why did you draw it? Is this a place like a cult secret society that secretly carries some dark rituals and life sacrifices?

He felt more nervous, but the more nervous he was, the less he dared to show it.

"So Xuanniao is also a code name?"

"Yes, everyone uses code names here. I suggest you choose one too. Although it's nothing to use the real name, it's easier to use the code name when playing games."

When it comes to the game again, Xia Yuxin said that what kind of ghost game can kill people?

"I'm not interested in your games, I'm just here to deliver things."

Xuanniao smiled, "Haha, you will be interested. No one can be uninterested. When the homeowner comes, you will know naturally."

As the two of them were talking, a few people came in one after another. At this time, the watch on Xia Yu's hand rang again.

He glanced at the screen [Time has come, the game is about to begin, please prepare the player].

Xuanniao suddenly pointed to the front and said, "Look, isn't the house owner here?"

As soon as Xia Yu looked up, he saw a man in a black robe walking out of the door at the end of the room. He looked not very old, in his thirties or forties, but he had silver-white hair, and his long hair hung down from the edge of his hood, making him look like a cult priest in a magical game.

As soon as he saw the owner, Xia Yu immediately realized that this person was definitely not an ordinary person, not only because of his magical shape, but also because of the feeling this person gave people.

His eyes were very calm, but they were indifferent to the slightest view of all living beings. His appearance was very ordinary, but also had an inexplicable solemnity, like a god who had entered the mortal world, which made people dare not make any mistakes.

However, this feeling lasted only a few seconds. When Xia Yu blinked his eyes slightly, the feeling disappeared suddenly. The man in the black robe in front of him looked just an ordinary person. The various feelings just now seemed to be just an illusion. Even the black robe on him seemed to be just a COSPLAY suit just to set off the atmosphere of the game.

The man in black robe came to the host's seat and spread his hands at everyone: "Welcome to the ancient god's game hut. I am the owner of the house, Wang Li, the game time has come, players are welcome to take a seat."
