Chapter 45: Danger in the Dark

Her younger brother, Sauron, must have died when he was ten years old. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info So now it's supposed to be just a dream.

Alice picks up the paper that Sauron handed him, and on it is a Sudoku.

This was a problem she had given to Sauron, and the simple Sudoku that young Alice had written at the time was quite a challenging problem for Sauron.

"Well, it's all right, very good." Alice's face bloomed with a bright smile like a spring peony, gentle and beautiful. She rubbed Sauron's tan hair, and the doting look on her face was undisguised. At this moment, she is not a genius, not the heir of the family, and not a cruel avenger, now she is just an ordinary sister.

Sauron let Alice touch his head and showed a shy smile: "Sister, I'm a lot faster than last time." ”

"Well, Sauron is good." Alice replied.

While the siblings were talking, a tall middle-aged man also walked over slowly, walked up to Alice, and looked down coldly from a high position, with a king-like majesty in his eyes.

Alice only felt that the sunlight was blocked by this tall figure, and when she looked up, it was a familiar face.

The cold eyes that made her fear and hate stared at her coldly, without the slightest emotion in their eyes.

"Father, Father, you are here." Alice hurriedly lowered her head and greeted respectfully. Even in her dreams, she didn't dare to disobey the man in front of her.

"Alice, it's time for you to study!"

There was an irresistible magic hidden in the majestic words, but Alice knew that she had to resist him now, or else Sauron would ......

"Father, I ......"

"I said it! Go back to your study! The middle-aged man stood directly between Sauron and Alice and gave her a hard push.

"Ahh

Alice let out a scream and woke up from her dream, only to find herself soaked in sweat. And the gourmand stood aside with a stupid expression on his face: "Alice, I, I just pushed you, I didn't do anything!" ”

It turned out that it was a gourmand who pushed himself just now.

Alice calmed down a little, looked around, and saw that the other people were still sleeping, and it was still late at night, and she didn't know why the foodie woke her up.

"Is something going on?"

"Yes! The Spartan guy said he saw something! "The gourmet god is mysterious and secret, and the Sparta in his mouth is the Internet nickname of the timid youth.

Sparta had an overly frightened expression on his face, holding a wooden stick in both hands, and looked around vigilantly: "I, I really saw it!" It's a hunchbacked monster with sharp teeth around its mouth, it must be a vampire! ”

"I don't know if it looks like this, but I also see the shadow of that guy." The gourmand affirmed: "This castle is not simple. ”

"But haven't you searched every corner of the castle? Did you come in from the outside? ”

Alice's serious face was as cold as ice, and she calmly but walked up to the sleeping crowd and woke them up one by one.

"Did the crow and the rabbit come back?"

"Nope."

The answer was both expected and unexpected. What was expected was that it was almost impossible for Su Ming to get out in that situation, so it was normal that he couldn't come back alive, and what was unexpected was that Su Ming really deceived her and never came back.

"Alice, what should we do now?" The Overlord asked, "Are we going to check the castle again?" ”

"Well, you're right, but since the warriors don't have decent weapons, let's divide them into groups, which will be more efficient."

Then Alice and the Spartan Overlord investigated together, and the room for the investigation was a two-story building, where there were the most rooms and the greatest possibility of hiding.

After splitting up, Alice and the three of them first came to the first room on the second floor, standing in front of the door, Alice gently held the doorknob, the metal was cold to the touch and made her shiver. At this time, you need to be careful when opening the door, no matter what the game, opening the door and turning the corner are always the most dangerous places. This kind of place doesn't necessarily need to be a lethal setting, and maybe it can scare people to death.

"I, I'm open!" Alice looked at the two beside her, then slammed the door open. As soon as she opened the door, she bounced up in front of the door like a nimble rabbit and dodged behind the overlord.

The inside of the door is the same as it was when it was inspected in the evening, and there is no change.

Coming to the second room, this room is a study, it is a very large study, after entering, you can see extremely high bookshelves, you need a ladder to get to the top of the books, and there are some messy notes inside, it is the best hiding place in all the rooms.

Alice opened the door again with a cunning method, and then walked into it with a torch, the light of the fire did not fully illuminate the huge study, but there were no suspicious things or traces in the field of vision.

"Look, it looks safe, too." Sparta comforted himself, and he didn't know why he took the name Sparta, who was as timid as a mouse.

Alice nodded, not wanting to waste time going deeper: "Well, let's go to the next room." ”

"Ping-pong."

Just as the three of them turned around, there was a soft sound of glass breaking behind them, and the sound of glass breaking was particularly harsh in the silent room, and the source of the sound was the deepest corner.

"Who's there!" Alice snorted coldly, slowly walked into the study with a torch in her hand, and approached the corner very slowly: "If it's not an enemy, please come out, otherwise I'll cast an ice spell." ”

The man in the corner was unresponsive, and the other party's silent answer seemed to indicate his position.

"Yes...... Could it be a mouse? Sparta began to feel uneasy.

For some reason, when approaching the corner of the study, the three of them felt that the temperature around them dropped significantly, and a cold that could not be stopped by clothes seeped into the pores of the skin, making people's hairs stand on end one by one.

In addition, the three Alice also felt that a pair of eyes were watching them in the dark, and this feeling of being watched was very strong, but it did not come from the corner in front of them, but from an area in the darkness around them.

"I, let's go~~" Sparta began to retreat, his feet were already trembling: "Don't you think this room is weird?" ”

Alice ignored Sparta's suggestion and reached over a little to try to illuminate the corner.

The light of the torch finally spread to the dark corner, but what appeared in front of Alice's eyes was not a wall, but a long passageway, the depths of which were pitch black, and I don't know where it led, and there was a gust of wind blowing inside, which made people creepy, and I don't know if it was Alice's delusion, she seemed to ask about the smell of blood in the air.

"No, I didn't expect there to be a secret passage here! It was clear that it wasn't there before! ”

"Shhh

Alice crouched down and brought the torch close to the ground. A few pieces of broken glass not far in front of her indicated that Fang Cai's shattering sound was not a hallucination, but that something had indeed run in this study!

And a few centimeters further forward in the eye, there was a long trail of blood, which stretched to the deepest part of the passage, and the end of the blood line was broken at the foot, and it was not known where the injured thing was now.

"I, I've had enough...... Leave you alone, I'm going out! ”

Sparta's mental capacity finally reached its limit, and before Alice could stop it, he broke into the darkness alone and ran wildly in the direction of the door.

"Sparta?" Alice tentatively said that Sparta's footsteps were clearly audible at first, but they suddenly disappeared in the middle of the process, and she didn't know what Sparta was thinking: "Hey, why stop?" Either go out, or come back, don't stand there alone. ”

The strange feeling in Alice's heart gradually spread, and she once again recalled the space dominated by darkness, at this time she only felt a pair of invisible hands slowly wrapping her heart and gradually retracting, making her a little breathless.

At the same time, the sense of being watched is becoming more and more intense, and it even makes people feel that there is not only one "person" in the dark, but many of them.

"Overlord, do you feel weird?"

Alice asked softly, obviously not seeing clearly, but her eyes were still staring at the dark shadows.

"Alice, don't think about it, it must be the Spartan guy......"

Before the overlord could finish speaking, something flew over with a clatter, and before Alice could react, she felt that the torch in her hand was hit hard, and the flames on the torch were extinguished in an instant, and everything around her was swallowed up by darkness and incorporated into the invisible realm.

"Overlord?"

"In"

Alice's eyes looked around in panic, but the darkness didn't let her see anything: "Just, what was it just now?" ”

"......" replied to Alice's silence, and what had just happened was repeated again.

"Overlord?" Alice asked again, so low that she couldn't even hear herself.

Then no one responded to her, and it seemed that both the Overlord and Sparta were consumed by darkness in that instant

Alice swept in front of her with a torch and crept towards the door, but there were many furnishings in the study, and if she moved a little, she would touch something, which frightened Alice several times.

Then, just as Alice had taken a dozen steps, she heard footsteps coming from behind, and the footsteps were so slight that they seemed to be hidden, and they could not be the footsteps of Sparta and the Overlord. There are really other people in this room!
