509 Pale Tide
"Welcome!"
The maids standing on both sides of the hall greeted the two newly arrived visitors with sweet voices, with heartfelt smiles on their pretty little faces, and deep bows made the "career line" on their chests clearly visible.
Looking at the scene in front of him, which can be called the "ultimate dream of the dead house", Lin Chi smiled, looked at the girl beside him, and asked, "So, this is your dream?" ”
"I ...... I didn't think so......"
Jane said this, the strange smile on her face and the hint of saliva running down the corner of her mouth, but it revealed the fact that she was excited now.
- So, Jane still has this hobby?
While thinking about it, Lin Chi followed the steps of the guards, walked into the golden hall, and entered an equally magnificent room on the left.
"Please wait here for a moment, and I will inform Her Majesty." The soldier leading the way bowed again, then turned to leave the room.
Sitting on the soft red chair, looking at the pale golden walls around him, Lin Chi picked up the cup on the crystal table, shook the light powder liquid in it that he didn't know what it was, and then turned his gaze to the girl who was sitting on another chair and looking around with glowing eyes.
Seeing the "brave new world" of her dreams, Jane's emotions at this time were naturally excited, seeing her body began to twitch, as if she was about to have a seizure and fainted.
It is not surprising that she would be so excited to go from lying in a hospital bed unable to move to a world that only exists in fantasy. Although she was still happy, Lin Chi still reminded: "This is not the real world. ”
"Of course I do...... I'm not crazy. ”
Jane kept blinking, forcibly suppressing her excitement: "But this place is always much better than that damn ward......"
"Hah, that's right." Lin Chi put down the cup as he spoke, and looked at the iron rod that he had placed next to the soft chair, which was very out of tune with this gorgeous room.
On the surface, the security measures of this castle were not very good, and the guard led them to the reception room and left, not only did he not leave other soldiers to guard them, but he didn't even confiscate the "weapon" in Lin Chi's hand, and directly asked him to bring the iron rod in.
However, Lin Chi could see that things were obviously not so simple......
"Well, should we sneak in now?" Zhen raised her head and looked at Lin Chi, and finally remembered what was going on: "You're going to sneak into this castle, right?" ”
Hearing this, Lin Chi shook his head: "Let's wait." ”
"Why?" Jane asked curiously, "There don't seem to be any guards here?" ”
"Didn't you notice?" Lin Chi looked back at the main entrance of the reception room inlaid with diamonds, and explained in a low voice: "There are dozens of guards in the hall, and they should be stronger than the guards in the tower. ”
The girl was silent for a few seconds, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Those maids? ”
"That's right." Lin Chi nodded: "Look at their body shape, they are not simple vases, they must have been practiced, and besides, didn't you notice that they have scabbards hanging on their legs?" ”
"Sorry, I was too engrossed to notice......" Jane honestly said she hadn't noticed.
Looking at the girl's obsessive appearance, Lin Chi couldn't help but start to guess where she was looking just now. But now is not the time to think about this kind of thing, there are more important issues to be addressed:
There is only one door to the reception room, and if you leave this place now, you will immediately be exposed to the sight of dozens of "battle maids" in the hall, and in this situation, it is obviously not so easy to sneak away and investigate this castle ruled by "Her Majesty the Empress".
This time, the Observer's contract stated that he was tasked with entering the royal court, and perhaps it would be best to stay here and wait for the Queen's audience.
However, after learning that the "long-lost sister" had arrived, the queen did not necessarily choose to meet them, but also to drive them out, or even order the soldiers to kill them directly!
- Should I stay here now?
Faced with a difficult multiple-choice question, Lin Chi thought for a moment, and before he could make a decision, he found that the gorgeous room he was in suddenly underwent a strange change:
The golden walls suddenly turned a dull gray, and the whole room seemed to lose its color, turning a godless gray.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chi rubbed his eyes, then looked down at his right hand, which had also turned black and white, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I don't know......" Jane, who is the subject of consciousness, also looks puzzled at this time, and seems to have no idea what is going on.
Then, a low, terrifying noise swept from the west side of the castle:
Buzzing......
The dull roar rubbed against Lin Chi's eardrums, causing him to suddenly feel weak and dizzy, and as soon as he stood up, his legs fell back to the chair, his limbs seemed to be temporarily out of control, and the whole person collapsed like noodles.
“……”
He tried to speak, but found that he couldn't even control his vocal cords, and a terrifying feeling of suffocation began to rise up his throat, making his body weaker and his vision blurred.
Buzz Buzz......
The strange noise, like a swarm flapping its wings in the ears, lasted for a full minute before finally stopping. When the sound stopped, Lin Chi finally regained control of his body and regained some strength again. The black-and-white image in front of me has finally begun to regain its color.
"This ...... What is ......?"
Jane's little face showed a frightened expression, as if she remembered the paralyzed time when she was lying in a hospital bed, and she kept shivering.
Lin Chi slowly stood up, trying to move his limbs, and then saw the door of the reception room be pushed open again, and a maid with long wavy hair walked into the room, staggering, obviously still in a weak state:
"Two guests, are you alright?" There was a slight apology in the maid's voice: "You just came to encounter a 'sound wave', it's really embarrassing......"
"What's going on with this 'sound wave'?" Lin Chi asked.
"We're sorry, but we don't know where it came from. But the sound wave will attack the castle every once in a while, and as for its effect, the two of you should have experienced it just now. The maid stepped forward as she spoke, hugged Jane, who was trembling with her eyes, and comforted her in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay......"
After being appeased by her favorite maid, Jane finally recovered a little. Lin Chi's strength also began to recover rapidly, staring at the wall that had turned golden again, and began to analyze what had just happened:
In his opinion, this so-called sound wave is probably also due to what drugs or treatments Jane in the "real world" used, which affected the virtual space of her consciousness. However, this kind of rough attack should not be the same as the "sedative" in the previous apartment space.
So, what treatment is she going on this time?
Standing in the gorgeous reception room, Lin Chi was about to integrate the information he had obtained from this space, when he saw that the guards who had gone to report the news just now had returned, and the expression on his face was like seeing a ghost:
"I'm sorry, both of you, Her Majesty the Empress can't receive you right now."
"Why?" Jane asked weakly.
Although he didn't seem to want to answer, when confronted with a girl who looked exactly like the empress, the guard told the truth:
"Her Majesty...... Missing. ”
