A few people walked for a while, and when they came to the gate of the ancient castle, Mu Lan found that the ancient castle was so dilapidated, the stone walls were full of cracks, and they were crawling with green vines; The stone pillar reliefs are connected and advance inward, extending to the wooden gate; The strong man pushed hard, and the door squeaked open, and the empty hall was in front of him, and through the light outside, he could vaguely see that the inside was even more dilapidated, and the ground was a mess, with many ruined wooden furniture, and the remains of crystal chandeliers shattered to the ground.

Slowly walking into the castle, until the last person was also in the darkness, Mu Lan felt like a lamb sent into the mouth of the devil, looking so small and hesitant.

Syllable! The hoodie man played the lighter in his hand, and the faint light of the fire flickered, this light source did nothing to the entire dark hall, only illuminated a small area in front of him.

"It's so dark!" The female student's voice was cautious, still very abrupt in the dark and silent environment, her voice changed in the oppressive environment, hoarse and strange, even she herself was frightened by her own voice, tightly clutching the corner of the male student's clothes, looking left and right in fear, as if something would come out of the darkness.

"What is there to be afraid of!" The strong man seemed to be disgusted with the timid people, and he glanced at the two students with disdain, but forgot that he himself was clinging to the large army and did not dare to disperse.

"My lighter won't last long." As he spoke, the hoodie man changed his hand to hold the lighter, which seemed to be burned by the overheated metal body.

"Gotta find the lighting quickly." The young man said, "Since it is a castle, there must be a fireplace or a lamp or something. ”

A few people groped in the hall with the help of the faint firelight to find a fireplace, picked up some wooden furniture remains and filled it in to light the fire, the orange flames made people's hearts warm, finally there was light, and Mu Lan was also a lot more relieved.

With the firelight, Mu Lan was able to observe the inside of the castle, which was surprisingly large, and the hall on the first floor could even be used as a basketball court.

The interior of the castle is complex and luxurious, the left and right rows of tall stone pillars full of sculptures go straight to the dome, the heptagonal castle dome is full of colorful oil paintings, there are figures similar to angels and devils, like some religious fables, the stairs on both sides lead to the second floor, the cloister is in the shape of a mouth, very neat, you can see a lot of room doors and windows in the corridor, you can't see it clearly when you go up, and you should need daytime or more light sources to see the whole picture.

"It's not like our time!" The young man pointed to a place, "Look, the chandeliers and the kerosene lamps on the walls, are there no electric lamps here?" And this structure, which looks like a Western medieval Gothic building on the outside, but the structure on the inside is different, which is not an architectural style that I know. ”

Mu Lan also nodded in her heart when she heard this, now electricity should have been popularized, even in remote mountainous areas, you can pull a wire, but this place uses kerosene lamps, and there is no trace of modern furnishings inside, revealing a trace of classical flavor, living like an ancient castle.

"You don't use electricity for your house!" The strong man began to explore farther away, but his voice was still loud and rough, "Not everyone likes modernity, the old buildings on my side are protected from destruction, maybe it's just the pleasure of the castle owner." ”

"It doesn't matter which era it is......" The woman in the pajamas shrank her shoulders uneasily, and approached the fireplace to feel a little warmer, she said slowly: "It's still too dark here, I'm a little scared, can you light it all up?" ”

"Hmm." The young man nodded, and the crowd thought her proposal was good, and made some improvised torches out of tablecloths and sticks, and it took a while to light the oil lamps and candlesticks.

The whole hall was brightly lit, Mu Lan looked at the unfamiliar environment, the whole person had a sense of unreality, she was a sophomore in a Chinese university, now in a luxurious ancient castle, and a few strangers involved in the mysterious reincarnation world mission, she felt that the ordinary and ordinary life before was getting farther and farther away from her.

After finishing their work, several people found a place where there were no clutter suitable for resting, and the male student wiped his sweat and asked, "Now, what else do we do?" ”

"If you're going to live here for three days, you're going to need food and water." The young man said, then remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, let's get to know each other first, we will inevitably cooperate with each other in the past three days, my name is Lu Tianming, and I am a journalist by profession." ”

Lu Tianming is very frank, he is right, I don't know what danger there will be here, several people from the same world and the same culture are teammates with the same interests, and collective action as a team will bring people more security.

"My name is Wang Qiang and I am a fitness instructor." The strong man also introduced himself, "You can just call me Brother Qiang, this ghost place is weird and scary, but don't worry, you are really lucky to meet me!" He clenched his fists, the biceps on his arm swelled, and he showed everyone a complacent expression after showing everyone his strength, "No matter who the person or force that kidnapped us is, if he dares to show his face, he will definitely not leave him a chance to beg for mercy!" ”

Mu Lan only thinks it's funny, the strong man Wang Qiang has been brushing his sense of existence, revealing his strength or leadership side, in order to grasp the initiative, but in fact, he is a strong stubble, this person must be flamboyant and good-looking in reality, and at the same time he is quite confident in his own force, Mu Lan herself is the opposite, she has no means of self-defense, she can only constantly reduce her sense of existence, and passively observe all the surrounding clues in order to deal with it, in this case, weakness is really the original sin.

Then several other people also briefly introduced themselves, the woman in pajamas is called Xu Min, an ordinary private company employee, the male student is called An Junhang, and the female student is called Zhao Mengqi, both of them are high school students in different classes of the same class in Pingcheng No. 3 Middle School.

When it was Mu Lan's turn, she thought for a while and didn't reveal her real name, "Just call me Xiaolan, I haven't graduated yet, I'm a sophomore." ”

Only the last person was not introduced, and everyone looked at the hoodie man, who was still silent as if he didn't want to be involved, and only then did he speak when he saw that several people looked at him strangely.

"They all call me Ah Feng."

The hoodie man Ah Feng's voice was low, revealing a kind of hoarseness, this man made Mu Lan unable to see through, that is, he looked different from them as "normal people", the whole person was outside the team, and he didn't like to be alone.

"Okay, now we're acquainted, now let's talk about the whole thing!" Lu Tianming clapped his hands and said: "We were teleported here from Huaxia by some kind of force, and then there was a voice prompting us to start the mission, like a game, we have to survive for three days in this place called Fort Hill, it is survival, not life, the context of these two words is different, what will threaten our lives in the ancient castle?" After saying a long paragraph, Lu Tianming paused and looked at everyone, hoping that someone would participate in the discussion he initiated.

"Kasbah...... Are there vampires? An Junhang's voice was still excited, and he didn't see this secondary school student shouting tired after working for a long time, after the hall regained its light, he looked east and west, there was no sense of crisis at all, he clenched his fists, and said as if he had discovered the truth: "Vampire Dracula knows no, the owner of the castle may be out at night, just wait for someone to break in at night, and then suck people alive!" Or the Phantom of the Castle, where the ghost of the slain maid reverberates in the castle......"

"Junhang, don't say it!" The female student was busy pulling the male student, and she spoke with a trill.

"Oops! This scares you! I'm just kidding! ”

"What nonsense! Be serious, it's not your kids' house! Wang Qiang's eyes widened, and the two students immediately lowered their heads and made ostrich-shapes.

Lu Tianming said: "It is also possible that there are some supernatural things, and since the voice that prompted the beginning of the mission appeared, this matter cannot be thought about with common sense." ”

An Junhang saw that someone affirmed himself, and nodded excitedly, he was a high school student who was soft-spoken, and he must be in a subordinate position in this team, Lu Tianming's words made him feel recognized, and he was immediately full of good feelings for this big brother.

"But what's the danger?" Xu Min was puzzled, "That mission prompt only allowed us to survive for three days, and I didn't explain anything else." ”

"Well, it's not clear yet." Lu Tianyang shook his head, "We just came here, and we don't even know the whole picture of the castle, but I believe that as long as we continue to stay, those dangers may come to the door by ourselves, speaking of this......" Lu Tianming was halfway through his words, and looked at everyone in surprise, his face was a little wrong.

Everyone was surprised, why didn't they say it in the middle of the sentence, Wang Qiang asked directly: "What's wrong?" Big journalists? ”

Lu Tianming wanted to speak and stopped, his face turned pale, and his strange performance made several people even stranger.

The moonlight came out of the dark clouds, shining in through the huge vertical long window glass, and the shadows of the eight people were stretched very long, growing to a strange degree, Mu Lan counted the shadows, and a strange feeling appeared, she suddenly thought of something, her heart beat faster like a drum, her palms were also sweaty, and a cool breeze blew, she couldn't help but shiver.

Yes, she thought of the same question as Lu Tianming, they both counted the number of people just now, and the strange thing was the number of people, there were obviously eight people standing here! But she clearly remembered that the number of people in the quest prompt was seven! How can there be one more person?

After a moment of silence, Mu Lan, who had been lowering her presence in the crowd, spoke, she pointed to the slender shadows of several people, and said slowly: "There are eight people now, one more person......

Suddenly, everyone's faces changed, and the atmosphere in the castle was strangely quiet, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't speak.
