Dice In The Darkness: Cthulhu Calls

Liu Xing nodded, it was indeed the same view as a hero.

However, the current problem is that, apart from the manager's office on the second floor, Liu Xing noticed that the staircase leading to the third floor was blocked by an iron gate, so his group could not enter the third-floor reception hall in a short time.

As for the first-floor conference room, because of its somewhat remote location, Liu Xing had never found the opportunity to go and check it out.

But at this moment, the opportunity came.

In order to observe the situation in the first-floor lobby, Liu Xing deliberately sat with Leon and Jill at the entrance of the performance room, so that he could see clearly what was happening in the first-floor lobby at the first time.

So, while chatting idly with Leon and speculating about what might be in the manager's office, Liu Xing suddenly saw three middle-aged men and women, well-dressed but all wearing black clothes and pants, enter the lobby, who seemed to be potential customers of the Flower Cemetery.

Then, the staff in the lobby immediately went forward to inquire of them, and then led the three of them upstairs.

However, Liu Xing noticed one thing, one of the customers pointed to the location of the conference room before going upstairs, and the staff member who was receiving them quickly shook his head, smiled and said something, and then led the three customers upstairs to the third floor.

It seems that the conference room on the first floor is not used for receiving guests.

Leon nodded, but still said with some concern, "Chris, what reason are you going to use to get close to the conference room? Be careful if you get caught, you won't have a good explanation."

Liu Xing chuckled and pointed to the floor plan, saying, "I just looked, the first-floor restrooms and the conference room are in the same direction, so I'm going to the restroom after breakfast, which is very reasonable."

Liu Xing then went into the lobby and asked a staff member for the location of the restrooms.

Then, Liu Xing went past the restrooms and headed straight for the conference room area.

It must be said that the location of this conference room is quite remote, almost in the bottom right corner of the Mausoleum Building, and you have to turn a few corners to get there, which is quite rare in the general house design.

Clearly, the designer of the Mausoleum Building deliberately wanted to hide the conference room.

Now Liu Xing is even more curious about the conference room.

However, what surprised Liu Xing was that there were no obstacles on the way to the conference room, nor were there any surveillance cameras, so this conference room seems to be in an open state.

This is a bit strange.

With an uneasy heart, Liu Xing finally arrived at the door of the conference room, and the moment he saw the conference room, Liu Xing immediately understood many problems.

Sure enough, this conference room is not simple.

Because the door of the conference room is completely different in style from the other doors in the Mausoleum Building, as it is an old-fashioned wooden door.

Most importantly, this old-fashioned wooden door looks a bit dilapidated and out of place with the surroundings, but the Flower Cemetery has not replaced this wooden door, so this makes Liu Xing think of a possibility, that is, behind this wooden door may be the Dreamrealm.

This possibility is over 80%, because Liu Xing can't think of why the high-end Flower Cemetery would change their marketing strategy here and leave a wooden door that might damage their reputation, and it wouldn't cost much or take long to replace such a wooden door.

So Liu Xing feels that the reason Duke Charles built the Flower Cemetery here is actually to cover up this door leading to the Dreamrealm, after all, when Liu Xing first learned about the Flower Cemetery, he was thinking about a question - why was the Flower Cemetery built in the suburbs of Manchester? 𝐑𝓪Ꞑố𐌱ÊṦ

Although Manchester is also one of the most economically developed cities in England, at this time Manchester has not really completed its transformation, so Manchester is still an industrial city.

Since Manchester is an industrial city, the environment in Manchester must not be very good, and there are not too many rich people living in Manchester, after all, England's transportation is very developed, they can live in London and just go to their companies in Manchester.

Therefore, in Liu Xing's view, building the Flower Cemetery in Manchester is not a very good decision, and Duke Charles could have easily set aside a piece of land in the suburbs of London to build the Flower Cemetery, but in the end Duke Charles chose to build the Flower Cemetery in Manchester, which means that Duke Charles has other intentions.

At the time, Liu Xing thought that Duke Charles might be trying to provide a convenient meeting place for the followers of the Cult of the Cadaver or the Ghouls in Manchester, but he never expected that Duke Charles was actually trying to cover up this wooden door that could lead to the Dreamrealm.

But getting back to the point, behind this wooden door should also be a Ghoul's territory, right?

As for why the Flower Cemetery hasn't covered up this wooden door, Liu Xing thinks it's because Duke Charles and his people think it's unnecessary to do so, and it would also be a bit of a cover-up, which could backfire, after all, the Flower Cemetery is still a semi-public place, and although the flow of people is not large, there are still a few people, so if Duke Charles and his people turned this wooden door into a "forbidden zone", it would actually arouse more suspicion, and the trouble would be even greater.

So Duke Charles renamed the world behind this wooden door as the conference room, and then set up an even larger reception hall on the third floor, so that those potential "residents" of the cemetery would not pay attention to that wooden door, after all, those who can come to the Flower Cemetery for consumption are high-end people, they must like to be received in a larger place.

This is vanity.

As for the ordinary staff in the Flower Cemetery, if they open that wooden door out of curiosity, the end result will only be that the ordinary employees who opened the door will be killed by the Ghouls behind the door.

And in a place like this, the sudden death of one or two people is not a big problem, the Flower Cemetery can simply say that those employees who were fed to the Ghouls resigned because they couldn't adapt to the work environment, after all, even if the environment of the Flower Cemetery is good, it is fundamentally a cemetery, so the high turnover of Flower Cemetery employees is also a very normal thing, and the people who can come to the Flower Cemetery to apply for jobs are generally from the lower levels of society, so their disappearance will not have much social impact.

So Liu Xing can now be sure of one thing, the wooden door in front of him must have been opened before, and the manager of the Flower Cemetery is very likely to "commute" through this wooden door.

So the conference room should be the most important place in the Flower Cemetery.

Unfortunately, it is still 2000 now, and Liu Xing has no way to set up some monitoring facilities here to see if there are any Dios among the "people" who come in and out of this wooden door.

It seems I still haven't quite adapted to this backward era.

But I have no choice but to adapt.

Liu Xing shook his head, he had been here for quite some time, so it was time to return to the performance hall.

Liu Xing quickly returned to the performance hall, and on the way, he didn't forget to go to the restroom to wash his hands, after all, the play must be performed in full.

Back in the performance hall, Leon couldn't help but ask, "Chris, have you seen the interview room?"

Liu Xing nodded and said, "I feel there is something suspicious about the interview room, because the door of the interview room is the same as the manager's office, and it looks out of place compared to the other doors in the Mausoleum Building. And most importantly, the door of the interview room is already somewhat dilapidated. If outsiders see this, it will definitely tarnish the reputation of the Flower Cemetery, so the Flower Cemetery definitely won't allow this wooden door to exist without reason."

At this time, Ms. Margaret, who had come over to chat with Jill, also nodded and said seriously, "That's right, I used to have business in the office next to the interview room, and then out of curiosity, I wanted to take a look at the interview room. But I found the door of the interview room to be very strange, so I talked about it with a staff member I was on good terms with. That staff member had never even entered the interview room, but in their pre-employment training at the Flower Cemetery, it was mentioned that the interview room is actually just a door, specifically used to set off the reception hall on the third floor."

"So whenever there are new guests coming, the staff will take them directly to the reception hall on the third floor. If the guests mention the interview room on the first floor, the staff will say that the interview room on the first floor is actually used to cater to those nouveau riche, and the truly distinguished clients are all received in the reception hall on the third floor. This will make the guests feel respected, and increase the likelihood of them purchasing a Graveyard. But to be honest, in a place like the Flower Cemetery, there are bound to be all kinds of legends, and one of them is that behind the wooden door of the interview room, there is not a wall, but a terrible parallel dimension, so whoever opens the door of the interview room will never return to the real world."

It's as expected.

Liu Xing nodded, it seems the doubts about the third floor reception hall can now be dispelled, because the third floor reception hall is most likely just a real reception hall, but it's also possible that it has the dual function of being a gathering place for the Cult of the Cadaver or Ghouls.

As for opening the wooden door of the interview room, Liu Xing is definitely not going to be stupid enough to do that, after all, Liu Xing is well aware that it's easy to enter the Dreamrealm but difficult to get out, and if he really enters the Dreamrealm, he definitely won't be able to complete this module, because Ithaqua shouldn't be able to come to the Dreamrealm.

But at this moment, Leon said interestedly, "Why don't we try to open the wooden door of the interview room? Maybe the interview room is actually Dio's residence? After all, if Dio is living in the interview room, whoever opens the wooden door will definitely not survive, and it will even provide a meal for Dio."

"So Leon, are you saying you want us to provide a meal for Dio?" Jill retorted.

Chris felt a bit awkward and didn't know what to say.

Liu Xing shook his head and said seriously, "The alley leading to the interview room can only accommodate two people side by side, and to get from the hall to the interview room, we have to make a few turns. So if we really encounter Dio's attack at the interview room, it will be very difficult for us to escape. So I don't recommend that everyone go there to commit suicide..."

At this moment, a staff member walked into the performance hall and said to Ms. Margaret, "Ms. Margaret, a new client just had an urgent matter, so they are planning to hold a funeral at 3 o'clock this afternoon. I hope your Symphony Orchestra can prepare in advance."

Ms. Margaret nodded and smiled, "No problem, our Symphony Orchestra is always ready, we can hold the funeral anytime."

The staff member left with a smile.

"Now, except for the few highest-end package Graveyards that are located in the front mountain, the rest of the Graveyards are located in the back mountain. And Dio's parents' Graveyard is also in the back mountain, so this afternoon you can follow me, and you may have the chance to see Dio's parents' Graveyard," Ms. Margaret said.

Liu Xing and the others nodded, and began to look forward to the funeral this afternoon.

Until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, nothing particularly special happened on Liu Xing's side, except that he saw a staff member carrying a high-end food box going up to the second floor, it seems they were sending a meal to the Flower Cemetery manager Liu Xing had never met before.

How interesting.

After the staff member came to notify them, Liu Xing, Chris, and Jill followed Ms. Margaret and several members of the Symphony Orchestra violin section, joining the funeral procession to the back mountain.

As outsiders, Liu Xing and the others naturally walked at the back.

It might be a psychological factor, but when Liu Xing reached the back mountain, he felt the temperature suddenly drop several degrees, and the tree density in the back mountain was higher than the front mountain, making the tombstones appear hazy and not as obvious as the ones in the front mountain.

This is actually a good place for Dio.

Liu Xing looked at Dio's parents' Graveyard, but couldn't see anything... Occasionally, when the wind blew, Liu Xing could still see a corner of Dio's parents' Graveyard.

The funeral then began.

Liu Xing stood aside, watching the sorrowful crowd, and suddenly remembered the scene when "Chris" attended his own parents' funeral when he was young.

Liu Xing suddenly felt a deep sadness.

At this moment, the KP Time suddenly said, "Player Liu Xing, please make a Judgment roll with a value of 50!"

Liu Xing, 22/50, success.

The moment the Judgment result came out, Liu Xing suddenly felt a chill on his back!
