Hu Yanxue wanted to say something, but Shen Ming couldn't find favorable evidence to prove his idea for a long time.

Indeed, the corpse in the White Night Room that night was really White Night himself?

The next day, the lord of the castle fell ill inexplicably and refused all visitors.

The servants in the City Lord's Mansion must have known what was going on inside, but they all died tragically here in various ways on the night the City Lord announced his recuperation.

Woooooooo As if to cater to their discovery, a leisurely cry came from a closed door behind the three of them.

The candles on the bluestone walls on both sides flickered, and the shadows of Mu Yufei and the three writhed on the wall.

It's like a monster with teeth and claws, trying to cut open the hearts of several people.

A gust of wind blew, and the door slowly opened.

It was black and oppressive, and I don't know what danger existed.

The cold wind blew along the crack in the door, which was getting bigger and bigger, and whirred towards Mu Yufei and his party.

Mu Yufei stretched out his hands and signaled everyone not to move forward rashly, especially Hu Yanxue.

He took a torch out of his backpack, lit it, and threw it in.

The firelight arced through the air before falling to the ground.

The gray walls, the wet floor, and the cobweb-strewn bed all flashed in the firelight.

The windows of the room were closed, and it was pitch black outside.

At the moment when Mu Yufei's torch hit the ground, the chandelier on the wall in the room suddenly lit up with a green light.

The cold wind whispered like a demon in his ears, and the dark claws loomed in the firelight, and every place challenged the endurance of the heart.

Shi Fangtian hid behind Hu Yanxue's sturdy body, closed his eyes tightly, and covered his ears.

"Don't be afraid, we're all here."

Mu Yu flew to Shi Fangtian and leaned in, comforting him and said.

Hu Yanxue also responded this time, she hugged Shi Fangtian's arm, and told him that all his companions were here.

Squeak, squeak. The rotten wooden floor let out a sigh with every step of Mu Yufei's step.

As if disturbed by an uninvited guest, all the rats in the room that were crawling on the ground fled at once.

The rats were gone, and what they had been gnawing on was clearly presented in front of Mu Yufei.

It was the only half skeleton left, as if a man had been split in half from top to bottom.

Mu Yufei looked at the skeleton in front of him, and a picture flashed in his mind, which was a secret that he had kept in his heart for many years.

Barren mountains, gnawed and broken bones, blood-stained hands.

"Ahhhh

Mu Yufei suddenly hugged his head and squatted down, his strange appearance made Hu Yanxue's heart pwitch.

"Yufei! What happened to you? Is it hurt? ”

Mu Yufei gasped for breath, and he gestured to Hu Yanxue with his hand, indicating that he was fine.

After a few moments, he slowly stood up.

"Yu Fei..."

"Cher, I'm fine."

Mu Yu Fei steadied his mind and re-observed the half of the bones.

The left half of the skeleton, which looks like a person being taken out from top to bottom, has been eaten by rats to the point that it is a little unrecognizable, but it can barely be seen that it is a male body.

The skeleton was grayish-black throughout, and it was clear that the deceased must have been poisoned.

The bed in the room is very simple, and the layout around it is very simple, very much like a place for people to live.

The room of the next person, will the city lord come here?

Mu Yufei thought about it while continuing to explore to the side.

I don't know if I pressed a mechanism on the bed board, and with the operation of the gears, a certain part of the gray wall was dented.

There was a diary there, but unfortunately it was locked and could not be opened.

"How many guests? Where are you~~~"

Zi Youran's voice came from outside, without the slightest emotion, and it was so cold that it made people shiver.

Mu Yufei had to cancel his plan to continue looking for the key, hurriedly put away the diary, and restored the wall to its original state.

The door opened, and Zi Youran stood there looking at Mu Yufei and the others, the expression on his face was cloudy.

Especially when he saw the corpse, there was inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

"Alas, you found out after all." Zi sighed leisurely, he raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders, expressing his helplessness.

"White Night, he is really an extremely good and capable pastor. It's just a pity..."

Zi leisurely raised her head, and there seemed to be tears in her eyes.

"It's a pity that the Holy Council abandoned him! The council deacon poisoned the wine we were given, but fortunately I didn't drink much at the time, and I survived. ”

"It's just a white night, he..."

Zi Youran suddenly held Mu Yufei's hand at this time, and said excitedly:

"Please, please help him get revenge! The Holy Council has changed! They're demons, they're demons! ”

"Don't worry, Lord Lord, we will." Mu Yufei said this, and quietly pulled out the hand that was held by Zi Youran.

"Okay, okay, please come with me, and I'll take you to the guest room to rest."

Zi Youran took the three of Mu Yufei to a fairly clean and tidy room, and before leaving, Zi Youran kindly persuaded him:

"Three heroes, the Holy Church is very powerful, if you don't use the power of God, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight them."

"I can help you get some of your powers, if you need it..."

Mu Yufei stepped forward and politely rejected Zi Youran's suggestion, and the other party was not angry because of this, but said that he could go to him at any time.

In the room, Hu Yanxue was still sitting against the wall with her back to wipe her giant hammer.

Mu Yufei and Shi Fangtian sat facing each other, Shi Fangtian's brows were still tightly furrowed.

"Not credible." Shi Fangtian held back these words after a moment of silence.

"Is it because of the corpses?"

Shi Fangtian nodded, he looked at Mu Yufei and asked:

"Would a rat be so coincidental that it would have eaten half of the bones?"

"And along the way, Zi Youran has been tempting us to be baptized by God, and he speaks like a preacher who preaches."

"Pastor? White Nights? Mu Yufei naturally said the name.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Hu Yanxue exhaled heavily, why did she think she was making such trouble?

directly beat Zi Youran violently, and kept him and said everything.

Thinking like this, Hu Yanxue's elbow accidentally pushed somewhere by the wall, and the brick sank.

There was a sound of gears, this time parting the floor of the room, revealing a downward staircase.

A piece of black hole below, I don't know where it leads.

The light of the torch finally allowed Mu Yufei to see the road below, which was a secret passage that meandered downward, with a rancid smell.

The passage was wide, and there were two ravines in the ground, enough for a man to carry a cart back and forth.

By the light of the fire, Mu Yufei found that the walls of this secret passage were very smooth.

The material of the stone used is the same as the walls of the palace, and it is obvious that it was built at the same time as the castle lord's mansion.

The further down you go, the stronger the rancid smell becomes.

It wasn't until the three of them passed through the secret passage that they knew why there was such a strong rancid smell.

The bloodstains, long since dried, were like twisted and crawling monsters, ugly.

The room was littered with blood-stained torture instruments, as well as corpses tied to them that had turned into bones.

Mu Yufei frowned, he didn't expect that there was a dark room for torture in the City Lord's Mansion.

Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there are quite a few unjust souls who have died here.

In the center of the darkroom, there is a coffin that is extremely incompatible with the surrounding environment.

The coffin is very luxurious, the cover, bottom and side plates are made of whole Nanmu squares, and the seven star plates inside the coffin are even inlaid with gold.

Inside the coffin was half a pair of bones.

Unlike the previous one, it was the right half of the human's corpse, and it didn't resemble a poisoned gray-black.

Next to the corpse was a bronze key.

"Half a pair again? The difference in the treatment of their two corpses is too great. Mu Yufei couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Mu, don't you have a book with a lock? Maybe you can try it. ”

"yes, I'll take a look."

With a click, the diary opened.

But what Mu Yufei didn't expect was that the content recorded in the diary seemed to be from Zi Youran's hand:

"God, please guide me on how to be the lord of this city and how to gain the trust of the people."

"White Night, why do you refute every suggestion I make? I'm obviously the lord of the city, but I can't be the lord at all. ”

"No one wants to listen to me, and am I not as good as the most ordinary servant here?"

"House arrest? Is this putting me under house arrest? Just because I discovered the secret of the White Night? It turns out that the priests of the Holy Council also like torture and interrogation? ”

The contents of the diary shocked the three of them, and Zi Youran said that he had no real power and was manipulated by Bai Ye like a marionette.

He didn't understand why, as the lord of the city, he had to live in the servant's room.

The most important thing is that Zi Youran mentioned that the torture room was built by Bai Ye.

originally thought that the root of everything was on the city lord, but now he found out that Bai Ye was the black hand who controlled everything behind the scenes!
