Heeding Li Ruoyu's words, Feng Bujue walked to the wall and raised the [Composite Anti-Gravity Ejector] in his hand towards the darkened shadow on the wall.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the "suction" function of the ejector.

A second later, a few slight "buzzing" sounds announced that the ejector had indeed sucked onto something (activating the suction function against the air would not produce any reaction).

"Eh? There really is something." Feng Bujue said, already taking half a step back and retracting his arm.

Immediately afterwards, a wine bottle with a cork was "extracted" from the darkened shadow on the wall...

The item seemed to have crossed dimensions from a plane to a three-dimensional world. The shadow on the wall disappeared as well.

"Wow! Awesome!" Buu exclaimed with wide eyes.

O'b also said, "Yeah... the guys from Hell's Front are indeed no ordinary people..."

Their amazement was natural. Any player with a bit of skill could see that... the puzzles in these two rooms were all very difficult. In addition to observation, calculation, association, and reasoning skills, these puzzles also had high requirements for the player's knowledge reserves. For example, the *Bottle, Glass, and Violin* on the wall, without some art-related knowledge and painting skills, it would be impossible to reveal it. Even a monster-level puzzle solver like Feng Bujue, in the absence of specific knowledge, would not be able to see the clues.

"You flatter us." Ruoyu would not be as cocky as Jue-ge. Facing Buu and O'b's praise, she just replied calmly, "Because the system refers to the information in all players' minds when generating the script, and this puzzle happens to be based on a set of information that only I know, so I solved it."

Her way of expressing herself was very clever, her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and the content of her words was very objective and convincing. Even if she was denying other people's views, the other party would not feel "offended."

In comparison, Jue-ge, who was used to using "logical rape" to leave people speechless, was clearly going to another extreme...

"Ah... anyway, finding clues is a good thing." Feng Bujue added, picked up the bottle, and showed the item description to his teammates:

[Name: Bottle]

[Type: Story Related]

[Quality: Broken]

[Function: Holds Liquid]

[Can it be brought out of this script: No]

[Remarks: Nothing special about the glass wine bottle, the label on the bottle has long been worn off, and the cork can be removed at will.]

"The type is a story item, and it can't be brought out of the script, and the function is also clearly written..." Xiao Tan said, stroking his chin in thought after seeing the description, "That is to say... we have to use this thing to hold some kind of liquid later?"

"Well... it shouldn't let us hold urine, right?" Feng Bujue immediately revealed a pensive expression and muttered in a low voice, "After all, you can't relieve yourself in this game..."

"Is that the first thing you think of when liquid is mentioned..." Ruoyu glanced at Jue-ge with a helpless expression.

"Yeah." Feng Bujue admitted very simply, "It's strange to say... if you mention 'body fluids', I would think of blood and..."

"Before I punch your body fluids out, I suggest you stop this topic and take the other two things out of the wall." Ruoyu interrupted.

"Hehe... Roger." Feng Bujue smiled, casually handed the bottle to O'b, who was standing not far away, and went forward again, coming to the wall.

A minute later, Jue-ge took out...

[Name: Glass]

[Type: Story Related]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function: Holds Liquid]

[Can it be brought out of this script: No]

[Remarks: A very ordinary cylindrical glass, the inside of the cup is still clean.]

And...

[Name: Violin]

[Type: Story Related]

[Quality: Broken]

[Function: Play Music]

[Can it be brought out of this script: No]

[Remarks: Although it looks very old, it can still be played normally, but unfortunately the bow is missing.]

"It seems that this puzzle is not over yet..." After his teammates had read the item descriptions, Jue-ge said again, "Just taking these three things out of the wall hasn't changed our current situation."

As Feng Bujue spoke, he turned around and looked at the room next door through the door behind him, "Let's call the room with the table and oil lamp room A, and this room we are in now room B..." He paused slightly for a second, as if waiting for his teammates to accept this setting, "Currently known, there are two keys in room A, one of which has been consumed to open the door connecting rooms A and B; and the remaining [Faded Bronze Key] cannot open the other door in room A."

"And there are no entrances or exits to other areas in room B, and no other keys have been found..." Buu continued Jue-ge's words, "The only clues have given us three props - a bottle, a glass, and a violin. It's just... none of these three things seems to be able to open the door."

"That's right." As he spoke, Feng Bujue had already put away the ejector (at this time, the door connecting the two rooms was open, and the light from next door could shine in, and the other players were also holding lighting equipment, so he didn't need a flashlight), holding the glass and the violin, he walked towards room A, "According to normal thinking... right now we should return to room A, and use these three props found in room B to find a way to open the other door..."

Bang—

Jue-ge's words were interrupted by a slamming door.

He looked at the self-closing (it was the second time) door panel with displeasure and shook his head, "Are you kidding me... again?"

This time, six players were trapped in room B together. But compared to when Jue-ge was trapped alone, the situation was much better... this time, there was no distortion of the surrounding space, and the lighting equipment in the players' hands were all working normally.

"Ah—" The first to shout was Xiao Tan.

Okay... he was also the last one, no one else shouted.

"What are you shouting for..." Even Xiao Ling next to him felt ashamed. She immediately shone a flashlight on Xiao Tan's face and said, "Isn't it just being locked in a room by a ghost? You're already level forty-something, what are you afraid of?"

"That's right! It's scary to be locked in a room by a ghost!" Xiao Tan replied loudly and honestly, "Besides... fear has nothing to do with level, right!"

"That's right, a person's courage has no necessary connection with their level in the game." Feng Bujue turned around with a serious face and pointed to Buu and O'b beside him, "Look, they are also very afraid, but their form of expression is not shouting."

He was right, at this time, Buu and O'b, one had his mouth wide open and was dumbfounded, and the other had a pale face and a terrified expression.

"This is the so-called being so scared that you can't speak..." Ruoyu commented calmly.

"Hey~ Actually, you don't need to be too nervous." Feng Bujue looked at the two and said, "This should just be a very normal event. According to my guess, the triggering conditions are probably these two: 'All six people are in room B; and they have already obtained the bottle, glass, and violin'. When we meet these two conditions, as long as we try to return to room A, we will encounter..."

"Shh—" Suddenly, Ruoyu shushed Jue-ge, interrupted him, and patted him on the shoulder.

Jue-ge also understood and immediately stopped speaking and listened attentively.

Before long, all six players heard it... from the room next door, came a low, hoarse singing...

[The king and his dogs,

Took the queen from her bed,

Bound her to her bones.

The ocean is ours,

Relying on its power...

Where the heart goes, so shall you.

Yo~ho~Pull together~

Raise the flag.

heAve~ho~

Thieves and beggars,

We never die...]

After singing this lyrics repeatedly three times (in English, but the players could all understand), the sound stopped abruptly.

Then, there was only a "click" sound.

The closed door opened again on its own...

[Main Quest Triggered] The system prompt sounded accordingly.

The players opened the game menu and saw a new main quest in the taskbar: [Obtain the golden key from the pirate's ghost.]

"Damn it! Where's my wine!" At the same second, a roar came from behind the door.

Along with the gradually opening door, the players saw... next to the table in room A, there was a wooden stool, and a translucent ghost was sitting on the stool.

The ghost was dressed in fine clothes, covered in gold and silver, and wore a captain's hat on his head. However, his appearance was extremely sloppy... he had shoulder-length, messy hair, a large beard like a broom; sunken eyes, rough skin; nose hair had grown out of his nose and merged with the mustache on his lips...

"Ah~ finally here." The ghost pirate glanced at the door and said loudly, "Quick, bring the wine over."

"Wine?" Feng Bujue's expression changed slightly. He looked down and saw that he only had an empty cup and a violin without a bow in his hand. Where was the wine?

"Uh... are you referring to this?" At this time, O'b, who was peeking out of the door, spoke. He raised the [Bottle] that Jue-ge had just given him and waved it at the ghost.

For some reason, the originally empty [Bottle] was now full, filled with a light yellow liquid.

"Uh... Teacher Jue, should I go over?" O'b looked at Jue-ge and asked tremblingly.

"Go ahead, what's there to be afraid of." Feng Bujue said, and also handed the glass in his hand to O'b, and stepped aside to make way.

To be honest, the scene in front of him... was indeed nothing to be afraid of. The lights in room A were as bright as before; and the ghost pirate's appearance was not very terrifying, it was just a gray and white, translucent ghost, which looked very similar to the ghost image in old movies.

"Oh... okay." O'b responded almost without hesitation, and then took the bottle and the glass... and went to the table.

Perhaps Jue-ge's tone and expression gave him confidence. O'b's scare value dropped sharply. He said to himself in his heart, "Teacher Jue is right, what's there to be afraid of? If I'm afraid of this, I might as well go play *Casper the Friendly Ghost oL* (this game is made up by me, it does not exist)."

While he was cheering himself up in his heart, he came to the ghost pirate's side: "Um... this is your wine..." After saying that, O'b put the bottle and glass on the table, and quickly took a step back, watching the other party warily.

The ghost pirate glanced at him, curled his lips, and said nothing more. Then, the sloppy ghost pulled out the cork from the bottle and began to pour and drink it himself.

Seeing that there was no danger, the other five players also passed through the door one after another and returned to room A.

After coming in, the first thing Jue-ge did was to get close to O'b's ear and asked in a low voice, "Speaking of... the liquid that suddenly appeared in the bottle... it shouldn't be your..."

"How is that possible..." O'b's mouth twitched as he replied, "I don't know when the liquid in the bottle appeared. Anyway, the bottle was still empty before the door closed... I found the liquid in the bottle after the mission prompt sounded."

"Oh~" Feng Bujue responded, and thought in his heart, "Zun-ge is helping us..."

He guessed right, the wine in the bottle was indeed conjured by Zhuanjiezun. The original plot here was to let the players put blood in the wine bottle... for the ghost pirate to drink. Fortunately, with Zun-ge's secret help, they saved a lot of trouble.

Of course, even without Zun-ge's help, the problem would not be too big. With O'b, this "humanoid supply station," getting some blood was not a matter of minutes... he had a consumable called [Universal Plasma] in his knapsack; if the ghost pirate wanted to drink "fresh" blood, let Buu, that fat man, release two taels of blood, anyway, after the release, he could replenish it through intravenous infusion.

"Hiccup~" About two minutes later, the ghost pirate had finished off half a bottle of wine. He hiccuped, raised his eyes and scanned the players, and finally stopped his gaze on Jue-ge, "Drinking alone is too boring... You! Give me some music."

"Huh?" Feng Bujue was stunned for half a second after hearing this, and then he realized... this situation was obviously caused by him holding the violin.

So, Jue-ge did some ideological struggle and turned to look at his teammates.

The eyes of his teammates were full of doubt, expectation, and schadenfreude... unfortunately, no one volunteered to stand up for him.

"Sigh... come on, come on." After thinking for a moment, Feng Bujue sighed, put on a look of "I'm going all out," walked to the pirate, "What do you want to hear?"

"Nonsense, come up with something that we pirates often listen to." The ghost pirate replied in a rude tone, "Do you want to do an opera or something?"

"Understood." Feng Bujue calmly put up the violin, posed properly, put the chin rest against his neck, pressed the strings with his left hand, and raised his right hand, "I can't play without a bow, can I strum it?"

"Okay, okay~ whatever you want." The ghost pirate poured himself another glass of wine and replied impatiently.

Feng Bujue shrugged his shoulders, tilted his head, strummed the strings with his right hand, and really strummed it.

Dong dong lang lang... a burst of string sound, rhythmic, ups and downs, it really looked like something.

"As expected of Teacher Jue... the tunes he plays are so profound..." Buu's eyes lit up with admiration again.

"As expected of Teacher Jue... he knows a little more than ordinary people..." O'b also praised.

"Tch... it's just a very popular tune..." Xiao Ling added.

Xiao Tan muttered with a puzzled expression: "It's so strange... the violin is playing the taste of a pipa."

"I also know for the first time that he has this skill..." Ruoyu also felt a little surprised.

Just when everyone was discussing Feng Bujue's musical attainments, a terrible thing happened...

After Jue-ge strummed the strings for a while, he opened his mouth and sang: "Touching ya~ touching ya~ the eldest sister's head ya~ a head of black hair like ink dyed, like dark clouds covering the sky! Hey hey yo~ like dark clouds covering the sky~" (lyrics from a traditional Chinese folk song called *Eighteen Touches*)

"Pfft—" The ghost pirate sprayed out a mouthful of wine at that time.

Jue-ge's five teammates were all stunned in place because of the shock and could not make any response. If you want to describe this state in one word, it would be - petrified.

"What the hell is this!" The ghost pirate roared in shock and anger.

Feng Bujue replied nonchalantly: "*Eighteen Touches*."

"I asked you to come up with some 'pirates often listen to' tunes, and you give me this?" The ghost pirate continued.

"Then what do you want to hear?" Jue-ge said.

"Sea shanties! Don't you even know this? How did you kid get on my ship!" The ghost pirate shouted, it seems that he thought he was still alive and staying on his ship, "Our pirate tunes should symbolize freedom, unrestrainedness, firmness, fearlessness..."

"Okay, okay... I understand." Feng Bujue leisurely tuned the strings, started a new tune, and opened his throat to sing, "The river flows eastward wa~ the stars in the sky participate in the Big Dipper wa! Hey... hey... participate in the Big Dipper ah... life and death friendship a bowl of wine ah... let's go~ let's go wa~ you have what I have all have wa! Hey... hey... all have wa... don't turn back in water and fire wa..." (lyrics from the theme song of the Chinese TV series *All Men Are Brothers*)

"Wha~ Da—— F*ck?" The ghost pirate was shocked, he stared at Jue-ge with wide eyes, and asked very seriously, "A few years ago... do you believe that I would stab you to death?"

"Then what do you want?" Feng Bujue replied with an expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, "You say... what do you want to hear, just name it! Although I don't know much, I can still come up with popular songs, what *Where is the Road* or *A Laughter in the Sea* or *Sailor*..."

Bang—

At this time, the door connecting room A and room B closed again.

But this time... it wasn't closed on its own, but Ruoyu slammed it shut. Before slamming the door, she also left a sentence in a cold tone: "Call me when he's done being crazy..."
