There is no large-scale police operation, which means that at least their actions tonight will not be affected.

"Which castle will you attack first tonight, Lesen?" asked Parker.

Lessen had already chosen the order and said, "Start with this Rose Castle, then Lane Castle......"

The order of the five castles is clear.

After one o'clock in the morning, they left the hotel and drove to the vicinity of the Rose Castle.

The Rose Castle is a castle for visitors to see, well preserved, surrounded by roses. However, it is only on certain days of the month that the Rose Castle is open to the public, along with other castles for visitors to see.

These are not the days when the castle is open for visitors, so the castle of roses is almost sealed, the gates are closed, and the entrance to the castle is cordoned.

In order to save money and not waste the money of the tax collectors, the city government of Whitby City does not use manpower and material resources to manage similar castles in normal times, and only sends people to maintain order, clean the castle, and so on open days.

In addition, the city of Whitby is very safe, and even if no one is in charge of this type of castle during non-open days, the castle will not be destroyed, which is also one of the reasons.

This happened to be cheaper for Lessen and others. As if they were in a no-man's land, they went straight into the Rose Castle.

But after a search, there was only three feet left to dig into the ground, and as a result, nothing was gained.

The Rose Castle itself is for tourists to see, there are no cultural relics in it, the bricks and wood of the castle are old, but they can't move a few bricks back.

"Go to the next one. ”

Several people were not disappointed, one was not good, and there was the next one.

Twenty minutes later, they came to a more remote place, where there were no inhabitants within five hundred meters, and it was a barren mountain, and on one of the cols sat the castle of Lane.

It was quiet all around, and not far away, Lane Castle seemed to be in the shadows, Parker walked for a while, and said, "How does this place feel eerie?"

"Nonsense," said one of the accomplices, "is a desolate place during the day, and to put it mildly, it's like a mass grave." ”

"Fake!" Parker scolded, "it's too bad for you to say that!"

Either way, the place did give him a strange feeling, and the castle in the shadows seemed to be a monster with its mouth open, waiting to swallow him in one gulp.

He believed that the other four people felt similarly, but the five of them got together and were not afraid.

Lessen was in the middle, with a flashlight, and the group only used this one flashlight, so as not to make the light too obvious.

Coming to the outside of Lane Castle, feeling the cool breeze blowing, Parker, who had been in charge of watching the wind before, said directly: "It's too cold outside, I'd better go in with you." ”

Leson didn't break it, nodded and said: "Let's go in together, let's act together, anyway, no one lives here, it's abandoned, and there is no need to arrange people to guard it." ”

In fact, he also thinks that

It would be more reassuring to have one more person to go in.

The entrance to the castle was a closed wooden door, which was rotten, and the lower part was even moldy and fungus.

All five people turned on the flashlight, and then Lessen began to push the door, thinking that the door could not be pushed and had to be broken, but after pushing it a few times, he found that the door could be pushed a few times, but the amplitude was very small.

"There's a wooden bolt behind the door, but it's not very sturdy, and it's broken. ”

Lessen exerted his force on the position of the wooden bolt, and soon broke the wooden bolt, and the wooden door creaked and slowly opened.

A musty smell rushed out of it, and several people quickly flashed to the side, allowing fresh air to enter the castle.

Parker covered his nose and mouth with his sleeve, lowered his head and muttered, "How long has it been since anyone has been here?"

Someone immediately responded: "The more no one comes, the better, and if there is something good inside, it may not be stolen." ”

After waiting for a few minutes, thinking that the fresh air was almost in, the five of them walked in through the wooden door, and the last one did not forget to close the wooden door again.

Inside the wooden door, which resembles a church, has arched windows on the walls around it, but there is no furniture inside, and it is almost completely empty.

"Why do I smell blood?"

Parker said with a frown as he stood in the doorway, flashlight shining at the walls and ceiling.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Lesson thought was unlucky.

"There was a faint smell of fish, blood. "There are accomplices who snorted and thought the same thing.

Although five flashlights can illuminate the front and back, left and right, under the influence of this inexplicable smell, the five people feel that this place is eerie, as if it is the scene of some homicide......

When they looked at the floor, they saw that even the carpet on the wooden floor was a deep red color, which involuntarily reminded people of the color of blood.

"There's something evil in this place!" Parker craned.

Some accomplices even glanced back, even if they found that there was nothing unusual in the back, they felt a chill on their backs, and muttered, "Why don't we leave?"

"What about the guts?" shouted another accomplice, "don't scare yourself, there are no ghosts in this world!"

With that, he stomped heavily on the ground with his foot, and the dull crashing sound also hit their hearts, "I'm so unscrupulous, if there's anything weird here, the ghost has come to me." ”

The man who had offered to leave muttered in a low voice, "This Whitby City is the birthplace of vampires, and if vampires are ghosts, maybe there are ghosts here." ”

Smack.

The man who stamped his foot knocked the other man with a shudder and scolded, "Read more! Whitby City is just the birthplace of the story among the vampires, and the vampires are fictional, okay?"

"Don't make a fuss, start searching, don't waste time!" shouted Lessen.

It's a little spooky and smells a little weird, but it's not going to have anything to do with ghosts. If you don't scare yourself, you won't

What's the matter.

At his urging, several people began to take action, searching the first floor, the second floor and the attic together, not missing any details.

Maybe it was because they were focused on searching, or because their physical activity was turned on, but they found that the eerie feeling was gone, and the smell of the air they breathed was normal.

The only bad thing is that the above-ground parts of the castle have been searched and nothing has been found.

In the end, only the basement was left unsearched, and Lessen found the entrance to the basement in the storage room on the first floor, found a crowbar, and pried open the wooden planks covering the entrance.

The dark entrance was exposed, and several people took flashlights to shine down, and found that the bottom was about two and a half meters high from the top, and there was a wooden ladder made of wood to connect it.

A cold smell came from the basement, but everyone thought that it was the reason why the basement was damp all year round, and this time it was Lessen who went down first, and then the four of them stepped on the wooden ladder to enter the basement in turn.

What caught everyone's eyes was a long road, about one and a half meters wide, more than two meters high, and at the end of dozens of meters away was a closed black gate.

This is something that everyone didn't expect. It was thought that the castle was divided into several rooms, like the basements of other castles.

"In the end, it is an ancient castle, and there is a special passage, it is estimated that the bottom of the castle is a network of passages extending in all directions, and there will even be passages leading directly to a few hundred meters outside the castle, I have seen documentaries, and the basement of some castles is built in this way, just to facilitate the escape of the owner in a critical moment. Parker said.

"Alright, don't be a fool of your knowledge," someone said impatiently, "don't you feel a little too cold in this place?"

"That's not the reason for the dampness. Parker muttered, "You see, the bluestone floor is slippery, and the walls on both sides of the corridor have a layer of moss. ”

"This moss looks black, I don't know how dirty. Someone frowned and allowed himself to stand in the middle of the corridor, avoiding contact between his clothes and the moss on the wall.

"The cold and gloom must have something to do with the damp conditions here," Lerson didn't care about the gloomy and cold environment, reminding the others, "These stones in the corridor are tall and short, and some have sharp horns, so be careful, don't trip over, don't squeeze the people in front of you, everyone pass one by one." ”

The corridor is littered with gray stones, which have fallen from the top, perhaps caused by an earthquake, or perhaps by the fact that the owner of the castle activated a mechanism to prevent the pursuers from pursuing him when he fled for his life......

In short, the appearance of these stones in the corridor only added to the trouble, but did not make them feel abnormal.

The road is only one meter and five wide, and it is very reluctant to walk two people side by side, not to mention, the walls on both sides are covered with black moss, and no one wants to touch them, preferring to line up one by one to pass through this road.

Lesen was at the front, and because the bluestone floor was slippery, he had to bend down and walk with both hands grasping the scattered stones in the corridor to keep his body balanced and not fall to the ground.

A few dozen meters away, there was the black door, and although there were many obstacles in the corridor, in less than two minutes, they would reach the black gate.
