Liu Xing felt his way along the wall, slowly making his way until he reached the corner.
Though the room was labeled as a bedroom, according to Liu Xing's observation, there was hardly anything in it. Of course, this might also be due to the low visibility.
At this mont, even without using his listening skills, Liu Xing could clearly hear the sound of breathing. Through sound positioning, he pinpointed the source to the center of the bedroom.
Liu Xing turned to look at Addison and Xue Jingliu. After a brief exchange of glances, the three decided to move towards the center of the bedroom.
In a state of uneasy anticipation, they finally saw the origin of the breathing – a pale-faced black-haired girl dressed in white.
Due to the lighting, Liu Xing couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but he noticed she was holding a handgun!
The three dared not move, afraid of startling the girl and triggering a potential attack. Given the close distance, there was virtually no space for evasion.
However, the girl remained silent, just watching Liu Xing and the others without any intention of taking action.
After a while, Liu Xing thought it wasn't a sustainable situation. Considering the urgency of the ti, he tentatively communicated with the girl, "Hello?"
"Hello."
Unexpectedly, the girl directly responded, using standard Mandarin. This reassured Liu Xing; the girl seed to be a friendly NPC given the current circumstances.
"What's your na, and why are you alone here?" Addison asked with a smile.
After so contemplation, the girl spoke, "If I rember correctly, my na is Hilvy. I don't know why I'm here, but there's a command in my subconscious. The first person who sees becos my master."
Liu Xing raised an eyebrow, and in his mind, only a few words surfaced – Slave Girl Hilvy...
Both Liu Xing and Addison wore a peculiar smile. In the dim candlelight, it appeared particularly terrifying, causing Xue Jingliu, unaware of the situation, to take a few steps back.
"So, you're my master?" Hilvy pointed at Liu Xing, earnestly asking.
Liu Xing chuckled and nodded, "Yes, indeed. I am your master. Let's leave here for now."
Liu Xing believed he had made the right choice. It seed like a win-win situation.
With a disdainful look from Xue Jingliu, Liu Xing, accompanied by Hilvy, returned to the living room.
In the living room, Liu Xing finally got a clear look at Hilvy's appearance. In simple terms, Hilvy made Liu Xing break into a veteran driver's grin.
However, Liu Xing was still concerned about the gun in Hilvy's hand. With a smile, he said, "Hilvy, can you give your gun?"
Hilvy nodded without hesitation, handing the handgun to Liu Xing.
Taking the gun, Liu Xing imdiately obtained its information.
"An old pistol, can perform a maximum of two attacks per combat round, each bullet dealing 1d6 damage. Currently, there are 4 bullets remaining."
Liu Xing nodded silently, calculating that the expected damage from these 4 bullets reached 12 points. With the addition of a poison vial, it might indeed be possible to defeat the Dread Hunter.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing showed the handgun to Addison and Xue Jingliu, allowing them to understand its damage value.
Due to Hilvy's presence, Liu Xing was sowhat concerned about tagaming, so he found KP Ghost. "KP, are you sure there won't be any tagaming issues? I think Hilvy might understand what we're saying."
KP Ghost, indifferent, replied, "Don't worry. There won't be any tagaming issues in this module. You can think of it as applying a harmony patch. Every word you say has been harmonized, so Hilvy won't detect any issues."
Liu Xing nodded, feeling relieved.
However, Addison jokingly added, "KP, why is this girl nad Hilvy, and her appearance is identical? Your Cthulhu Role-Playing Ga Hall is too informal."
KP Ghost, sowhat embarrassed, chuckled and said, "Well, it's just the author playing around. Given the girl's role as a slave, the devious author thought of Hilvy, and that's how you see her now."
Liu Xing exchanged smiles with Addison, while Xue Jingliu, unaware of the situation, decided to pull Hilvy aside, away from the peculiar duo of Liu Xing and Addison.
At this mont, Liu Xing suddenly rembered sothing. "Oh, we seem to have not obtained the key to the iron gate yet."
If the handgun in his hand counted as one item, then the key to the iron gate should be another item inside the bedroom.
As Liu Xing spoke, Hilvy nodded and took a rope from around her neck, revealing a key hanging from it.
As the "key manager," Xue Jingliu naturally took the "original" key from Hilvy.
What a pity.
Liu Xing felt that he had beco increasingly unconventional since encountering Hilvy.
Then, Addison suddenly said, "By the way, if there are two items in each room, then the living room, as a room, should have another item besides the bowl of Blood Soup, right?"
Liu Xing was initially puzzled, then uncertainly said, "There should indeed be two items in the living room, but do you think the note might count as one item?"
"No, because fundantally, that note should just be information, like the booklet in the study room that provided information about Schaugnar Fagern and Dread Hunter. However, it wasn't counted as an item. So, in this living room, there should be another item we haven't discovered yet," Addison affird.
Liu Xing nodded, suddenly thinking of the phrase "looking for a needle in a haystack." If Addison hadn't brought this up, he might have overlooked the item in the living room.
However, considering the size of the living room—just a table and five chairs—after a careful inspection by Liu Xing and the others, no item was found.
"I can't believe it. Could the last item be embedded inside the table?" Addison said sowhat dejectedly.
Liu Xing, hands on hips, looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle and suddenly noticed sothing in the lampshade of the living room.
