When Blue Desert Shadow was calculating me, the same thing happened on the other side of the Dark Castle.

The protagonists of the plan were replaced by two white adventurers, and I later learned that the leader of the adventurers' team was named Andre, who was the direct head of the fifth family of the adventurer's union, and his deputy was Arnold, who was known as the adventurer's eagle.

It is said that the cooperation between the two of them has never missed, and in addition, the Falcon Adventure Group, which ranks third among the adventurers, has come out, and the strength of the lineup has exceeded the scope of normal adventures.

André, who approached the valley from the front of the basin, apparently saw the light of the church fire: "Someone got there first? They seemed to have taken a shortcut. ”

Arnold sneered: "People who want to take that road are stupid, go that way, they can't quickly evacuate the dark castle, they only have a dead end." ”

"No, no, no......" Andrei shook his head, "I admire the man who dared to jump from behind the castle." There is a saying in Huaxia called 'breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat', and the adventurers who rushed into the ancient castle obviously cut off their own retreat. If they don't get their hands on the castle's secrets, they'll all die inside. At this time, it is easier to stimulate people's potential, and they may be able to complete the task. ”

Arold sneered: "Although I don't know what it means, I know that whoever dares to steal my business, I will break someone's neck." Not even the first family. ”

Andrei said: "This time, the First Family did not participate in the treasure hunt. For us, it's not necessarily a good sign. ”

"The Tulip Family, the Fourth Family, and we are all involved. It's very incomprehensible that the First Family has been standing still!" Andre said: "Anyway, I can't rest assured that the First Family." ”

Arold hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't want to participate in the treasure hunt?"

"No!" Andre shook his head, "We must participate in this treasure hunt, and we must eat the tulips." They had been in third position for too long. Someone should replace them. ”

Andre said: "The third family is now like a lion dying of old age, we are a group of vultures waiting to eat the corpse. The family members that Anne took away were the last life force of the tulips, and after destroying them, what awaits us is a feast, and even if another lion is waiting to eat his corpse, I can still grab a piece of fat. ”

Arold said murderously: "Then we will let the lion die a little faster, and everyone will speed up." ”

When the team of the Ghostless Sect and the adventurers was rapidly advancing towards the Dark Castle, a third team also appeared near the Castle, but they came from a different direction.

I also considered entering the castle from the side, but I gave up on it.

The team, dressed in white armor and wearing a cross steel helmet, did not stop for a moment from the moment it appeared, and quickly pushed towards the ancient castle under the cover of each other. If someone looked down from the sky, all they could see was a group of white figures rapidly spreading in the dark forest, spreading black and white in the night, with a sense of slaughter in the weirdness, like light and darkness penetrating each other in a limited space until they could devour each other.

Light and darkness may be interchangeable, but they can never coexist in a balanced manner, and failure to make concessions is the beginning of confrontation.

After I hid in the shelter for a long time, the members of Tulip began to gradually become uneasy, at first only the low-level members were walking back and forth, and finally even Anne couldn't bear this silent wait, and came to my side and said, "Wang Huan, what are we waiting for?"

"Wait for you tulips, family friends and enemies. I said in a deep voice, "It was an accident for the Tulip Family that I came to Britain to accept your employment, but the Tulip Family curse broke out, and it was inevitable that I needed to enter the Dark Castle in a big way. If, I'm not mistaken, someone wants to eat your family. ”

Anne nodded calmly and said, "I have already investigated the potential enemies of the family. ”

I said lightly, "Have you checked the people of your own family?"

Anne's face suddenly became a little ugly, and Elena also said coldly: "The descendants of Tulip will never betray the family." ”

"Really? "I took the parchment map again and picked up a flashlight and hit it on the map. The parchment map was illuminated by the light of a flashlight, and soon a line of fluorescent handwriting was revealed—thank you for your generosity. Roger

I shook my flashlight twice on the parchment roll: "Now what do you say?"

"Impossible! absolutely impossible!" Elena screamed, "the map has always been in the possession of the Patriarch. Blame the thief Roger, it's impossible to take the map. ”

I said lightly: "This map is in the hands of your patriarch, that is, no one of you has ever seen a real map. Even if someone gives you a fake map, you won't see a problem. If no one sees through the secrets of the map, you will only be dead. That's why I don't follow the map and have to go the other way. ”

Anne said calmly: "You have never touched the map, how do you know that the map has been replaced?"

I pointed to my eyes: "Because, my eyes." What I can see, others may not see. ”

As I was talking, one of the Tulip members suddenly stood up: "You lie, no thief can enter the Tulip family's treasury, not even the strange thief Roger. Besides, the strange thief Roger is still a thief a hundred years ago, could he have replaced the map in the treasure trove a hundred years ago?"

I looked at the other party coldly: "What do you want to say?"

The man said with a cold gaze: "You are the only one who has touched the map from beginning to end, and only you have the opportunity to change the map." ”

My gaze sank instantly: "You continue?"

The man sneered: "Mr. Magician from the East, I have to admire your acting skills. You didn't just cheat Elena, you killed Arthur. ”

The man pointed back at Li Kitten: "You all think Arthur died of a curse, but in fact, she did something to Arthur." Arthur had planned to go down the mountain with us, but she deliberately kept Arthur behind. Arthur was a gentleman, and he had always liked the humble lady, and it was because of this gentleman's humility that he died. ”

When Li Kitten looked at the other party, the tulip members who were standing near Li Kitten raised their guns at the same time and pointed their guns at Li Kitten's vital point.

Ren Tianqing and Lu Xinyao just wanted to move, and all the Tulip members raised their guns together and surrounded the people in the middle. This time, the members of Tulip had already dispersed, and they surrounded us in twos and threes. They purposefully separate us one by one, and they can control our manpower at any time as long as someone moves.

I looked at Anne with a gloomy face, "Is this your arrangement?"

Anne said, "Mr. Wang Huan, I have to tell you. Before I left, I hired Arthur as my personal advisor. Arthur has a very interesting nickname in the industry, called Shadow Detective. The real Mr. Arthur rarely shows up, and the people who show up are only his assistants. So, the person who is talking to you is Mr. Arthur. ”

I squinted at Anne, "So you're using Arthur to investigate me?"

"No!" Anne shook her head, "I'm just entrusting Mr. Arthur with investigating the castle." Unexpectedly, before the mission started, he saved my life first. ”

"All right, my dear Mr. Magician. It's time for me to show my evidence. Arthur walked to Ren Tianqing's side with a smile, reached out and pulled out a sheepskin scroll from his backpack: "The real map is here." ”

I frowned, Arthur raised the map and said, "Mr. Magician, I have to admire your superb magic skills. You tricked everyone with magic tricks at the Wyke Club, making people believe that you were a warlock from the east wind, an apostle of the gods, who deceived Elena into trusting her. Then, in order to deceive Miss Anne's trust, you staged another big magic trick for us. The name of this magic is 'Devil's Pact'. ”

Arthur pointed to Ye Xun beside me: "At that time, Mr. Ye Xun, who is also a magician, first used pieces of paper stained with white phosphorus to perform a good show of empty-handed fire for us, and then used similar things to launch two fireballs to cooperate with your actors hiding outside the church, and finally staged a real magic for me." ”

Arthur's meaning is very simple, it is the so-called demonic contract, and it is just me and my accomplices performing a good show inside and outside. But he cleverly ignored a lot of things, he didn't mention how the corpse turned into yellow sand, he didn't say how the family member could be possessed by evil spirits, and he didn't talk about how the shadow Arthur could turn into a stone sculpture in a short period of time. Only what he thought was magic was said.

White phosphorus burning paper and empty-handed bullets are all within the scope of magic performances, and they are more in line with ordinary people's cognition, and even many programs have revealed similar magic tricks.

The word "cognition" is, in some cases, a very subtle thing, and only when people cannot explain something can they develop fear or awe. Once you explain that kind of thing with common sense, not only will their fears be swept away, but the anger that will follow. What Arthur did was to provoke the wrath of the Tulip members.

He doesn't need to explain everything, as long as he can explain one or two things reasonably, those people will automatically ignore all doubts. Because, in their hearts, Arthur is more credible. Next, no one will stop Arthur from doing anything, and no one will believe us whatever we say.

Sure enough, Arthur's voice suddenly sank, "Tell me, where are your accomplices?"

I said in a deep voice, "Mr. Detective, since you say that I am acting, then, what is the purpose of my acting?"
