Chapter 52: The Ghost Castle (2)
"Whoa!" Tang Xin picked up a stone from the ground and smashed it at the window of the ancient castle, and with a crisp sound, the glass window shattered.
"Let's go in from here." Tang Xin clapped his hands, threw out a cat's paw and grabbed the windowsill of the ancient castle more than 2 meters above the ground, and then climbed up dexterously and stood on the windowsill. Tang Xin smashed the kitchen window, and thick dust accumulated on the windowsill, which choked Tang Xin to the ground, and hurriedly patted off the dust on his body.
She summoned a holy lamp, and a bright yellow round halo floated beside Tang Xin, Tang Xin waved her finger and directed it to float into the house, and then jumped into the kitchen herself. The gods of tomato scrambled eggs also followed Tang Xin's method, entered the house one by one, walked in the last defection, and hugged little Jerry up.
The castle is very large, and after a visual inspection from the outside, it is estimated that there are dozens of rooms and halls...... Not counting the hidden secret rooms or basements, the empty castle was a little quiet, and when everyone pushed open the door, the dust that had been sealed for a long time was raised, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
The people of the tomato scrambled eggs discussed it and decided to explore the castle separately, in groups of two, exactly three, one of which took little Jerry with him. In the end, it was decided that Tang Xin and Liuying would be in a group and take little Jerry, and the other two groups would be Su Su and Gou Xiaoyun, and Defection and Drunken Brother would be in a group.
"Sister, I'm a little scared!" Little Jerry was like a child at this time, his voice trembled, and he pulled the corner of Tang Xin's clothes.
"Is it basically safe to follow us, or do you want to stay here alone?" Silver Fan raised her eyebrows.
"No, it's fine." Little Jerry cowardly stopped talking.
Tang Xin glanced back at little Jerry's expression, still felt that something was wrong, but he also couldn't say why, shrugged his shoulders, and walked upstairs with Liu Hotaru, their group was responsible for exploring the rooms of the ancient castle to see if there were any secret rooms or hidden scenes.
Most of the bedrooms in the castle look like they have been idle for a long time, but because the magic dust collector is still running, these rooms for guests are not too dirty, at most there is a musty smell that has not been ventilated for a long time.
After a while, the two of them searched the two living rooms and five guest rooms on the second floor, but found nothing, and there was only one library left on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the library, the door suddenly closed with a "bump", startling Tang Xin and Liuying, Tang Xin hurriedly pulled over little Jerry, and picked up the holy hammer with the other hand to guard.
"Oh, hehehe......" At this time, a sharp laugh sounded in the quiet castle, which made people suddenly, and goosebumps appeared on their bodies.
The two waited for a while, but nothing happened, and the laughter disappeared without a trace.
"Cut, pretend to be a ghost!" Tang Xin said disdainfully.
"It's just that a dog that doesn't bite will bark, it's boring!" Hotaru also said that she despised this kind of noisy sound and wanted to be scary performance, and she was ready to start fighting, I wonder how the frost effect would work on the ghost?
Looking back, both of them began to search the library very vigorously, and little Jerry looked at the two excited women with inexplicable expressions on the side. Tang Xin found some books related to engineering, his face smiled very brightly, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were several books related to the God of Shadows, although the language was unknown, but for such a mysterious god, it was difficult to find enough to mention him. Anyway, it looks like a deserted castle, and Tang Xin unceremoniously pocketed it.
Liuying also gained a lot, although it could not be seen from her facial paralyzed expression, but the starry eyes showed happiness and pleasure, she kept copying with a quill at first, and after seeing Tang Xin's behavior like a robber, she also did the same, and directly stuffed the books she needed into her backpack.
"Ahh What a satisfaction! Tang Xin smiled lazily, squinting like a lazy little fox.
"Well, it's worth the trip." Silver Fan Royataru is equally satisfied.
The two women had forgotten all about the haunted castle, and all they could think about now was to find the little cub named Ander as soon as possible, and then go back to find a corner to retreat and read.
"Well, what do you think that's that?" Little Jerry suddenly spoke, pointing to one of the walls of the library, his face full of surprise.
"What?" Tang Xin followed his finger and saw a stone fireplace, with gorgeous carvings on it, but it was old and looked dilapidated, and there were still some ashes in the fireplace that had burned out, and Tang Xin didn't find anything special.
"Do you mean there's a piece missing there?" Liuying's observation was a little more careful than Tang Xin's, and she noticed that the relief above the fireplace had a circular notch, as if something was embedded in it.
"Oh, isn't there a secret room or something, let's find the missing thing to solve the puzzle!" Tang Xin also noticed the relief and speculated.
"Ten of you're going to be like that!" Hotaru shared the news on the party's channel for everyone to pay attention to.
"Sister Liuying, we have some skeleton monsters here, and some fragments burst out after hanging up, a bit like the one you said." Yun Susu quickly responded in the channel.
"Well, okay, hang up all the other skeletons and see if you can make a whole one." Hotaru replied.
"We have a few ghosts here, after killing them, there are some pieces of paper, not like the round stones you said, but there are many text messages on the pieces of paper, I estimate that all the ghosts can be killed to make a piece of paper, there may be some clues on it, we ......" Then the drunken brother was not to be outdone and replied by typing, and a few hundred words passed.
"Uh, come on." Liuying replied like this, and then hurriedly turned around, pulled Tang Xin to go to the third floor of the castle to take a look, and didn't pay attention to the silent son who was still pouring water with trash talk in the channel.
There are also many guest rooms on the third floor of the castle, several of which seem to have been inhabited by people, as well as some piano rooms and exhibition halls...... Nothing special.
With the concerted efforts of everyone who scrambled eggs with tomatoes, all kinds of pieces were finally gathered, the pieces of Yun Susu and Gou Xiaoyun just formed a circular stone sculpture, and the pieces of paper from the defection and drunken brother were unexpected, especially Tang Xin.
This piece of paper is a letter, and some of it is still missing after putting it together, but it does not affect the reading anymore.
Omitting those irrelevant parts, the content that surprised Tang Xin was: "...... Damn it! That Captain Hodge is such a nosy guy, you guys hurry up and transfer Karui to the backwater base, I'll report the situation and let the organization kill that bad guy, it's really unlucky! The plan has just begun...... "Captain Hodge, Tang Xin received the task as soon as he entered the game, the old lover of the tavern proprietress Anna, who is being hunted down by a mysterious organization, and is also an old friend of the mechanic Karui and the tower keeper Adi.
Mechanic Kalu, who is half of Tang Xin's master, has read Kalu's diary, from which she has gained a lot of drawings and experience, and has also increased a lot of knowledge on the mainland. These two characters actually appeared in the current mission to find the missing little boy, Tang Xin couldn't help frowning, and his imagination began to run wild, there is definitely something that has to be told in this, maybe the black hands behind the scenes are all that mysterious organization......
The other surprised part was this: "...... Hum! That bullshit imperial princess is quite tough, and her courage is not small, but she still can't escape the palm of my hand, let the people below pay attention, whether it is civilians or pursuers who dare to step on the path of death, let them have no return! And that bard Simon, who is willing to accompany Flora and let him be, a bunch of fools......"
