In this environment, the extra person will not be considered a coincidence, maybe the "danger" in the castle refers to this extra person, so what is his purpose?

Mu Lan observed the people in the castle, first of all, the driver of the rhythm, reporter Lu Tianming, it was he who proposed to enter the castle to explore, from the beginning to the present, this person has the most words, he asked everyone to follow his train of thought, analyze every link of the whole incident, look smart and steady, and faintly become the leader of this team.

Then there is the big strong man Wang Qiang, this person she feels less suspicious, he has been singing against Lu Tianming,-for-tat, looking more reckless and rough, but what is the real character Mu Lan did not dare to draw conclusions, if Wang Qiang showed all the pretending, it is also possible, then this person is very scary, with strong force and his own cunning who is good at disguise, he is definitely the most tricky person.

Xu Min, a woman in pajamas, and Xiaode, a man with the back of an ordinary citizen, are about the same age, both in their 30s, with an ordinary appearance, and they don't show any unusual characteristics, they belong to the kind of people that can't be found in the pile.

And the two students, An Junhang and Zhao Mengqi, they are alumni of the same high school, the two are very familiar, they bite their ears and whisper when they have nothing to do, these two people are natural allies, An Junhang is the kind of middle school boy who loves fantasy on the surface, he can't hide things in his mouth, he will say whatever he wants, Zhao Mengqi looks submissive, always keeps her head down, and occasionally looks at others and sneaks a look, she is a timid little girl.

In the end, it was the hoodie man Ah Feng who made Mu Lan wary, from the outside, he really couldn't guess what his profession was for, he said very little, less than Mu Lan who deliberately pretended to be cowardly, she didn't know how to describe that sense of danger, this feeling didn't come from nowhere, she just felt that this person was like a leopard ready to attack, all over his body, very deliberate.

Who will be the extra one? What is the purpose of this man? Or maybe he didn't know about it, and these were all deliberate tasks?

Unable to figure it out, Mu Lan sighed, it seemed that she could only wait for time to continue to pass before those hidden clues surfaced.

"Maybe it's not that serious?" This time, it was Wang Qiang who spoke first, he looked at Lu Tianming, who didn't speak, and smiled: "You people think too much, and the truth is often not so complicated." He spread his hand and said, "The force that kidnapped us has made the wrong number of people, or someone is just trying to muddy the waters and make us suspicious of each other!" ”

"That's right!" Xiaode nodded, "If we are suspicious of each other, then no matter what danger arises, we can't face it together!" ”

Wang Qiang glanced at Xiaode approvingly, only thinking that he was very acquainted, and he had more leadership ability than Lu Tianming, who doubted everyone when he encountered a little danger.

"That's right! This is not playing werewolf killing, besides, is it possible that there is still a perverted murderer mixed with us in this society under the rule of law? Xu Min also echoed.

"A society governed by the rule of law? Scold! Ah Feng chuckled, with a hint of mockery on his face, "There has never been a society under the rule of law, whether it is our real society, or this so-called Hillburg, this world will always be the law of the jungle, the weak, will be killed, will be eliminated, it seems that you are spoiled by the peaceful environment, people like you who hold universal concepts, generally die quickly." ”

This person said such a paragraph coldly, several people were a little surprised, Xu Min only felt that the second half of the sentence was cursing himself to death, and immediately glared at A Feng unkindly: "Hmph, it seems that we have a marginal person who is dissatisfied with the society here, looking at you poor and sour, I don't know if it is the hard work of moving bricks in the gutter, oh no, look at your sad face, I'm afraid you are unemployed, come to our company, we still have a cleaning job, I can help you introduce you......"

Everyone's faces were a little embarrassed, but Mu Lan wanted to laugh, she immediately lowered her head and held back, this eldest sister has a set of scolding without dirty words, she immediately looked at Ah Feng, Ah Feng just looked at Xu Min silently, his eyes did not contain any emotion, just looked at it, Xu Min was uncomfortable, and said impatiently: "What to see, you ......"

"Alright, don't get into strife at this time!" Lu Tianming frowned and said: "No matter why there is one more person, the most important thing at the moment is not this, we have no food, no water, how can we survive three days in an unfamiliar environment, and this ancient castle is so big, we must explore it after dawn, and find a clue to leave." ”

Mu Lan keenly noticed that after Lu Tianming mentioned the words food and water, the female student Zhao Mengqi clenched her backpack.

Xu Min didn't ridicule Ah Feng anymore, and several people felt that Lu Tianming's words were reasonable, and nodded one after another.

Wang Qiang was unwilling to speak and was soon grasped by Lu Tianming, he added: "It was night when we came, and it was also night here, and we were busy for a long time, so we all have no physical strength, so it's better to find some rooms to rest first, and have a good spirit tomorrow to explore the ancient castle!" ”

Mu Lan is not in a hurry to rest, where can she sleep in this environment, but everyone is also tired, the night in the human biological clock corresponds to sleep, so everyone took the light source and explored the hall on the first floor again, and found that there was no danger except that it was darker, and they were all relieved.

Xu Min yawned and said: "I was going to sleep, no, I'm still wearing pajamas, this ancient castle is blind with black lights, I can't see anything clearly, it's better to investigate during the day tomorrow!" ”

Seeing everyone's feedback, Lu Tianming did not object, he proposed: "Well, we have too few light sources, it is more suitable to explore the ancient castle during the day, but I am more worried about the danger in the dark, someone must be on duty today!" I just looked at the position of the moon, here is about 1 o'clock in the second half of the night, until dawn there are at least four hours, we have four people, each of us for an hour's vigil, how about it? ”

Then Lu Tianming himself stood up to be on duty on the first shift, and several other people discussed, in line with the principle of gentlemen, the remaining three night vigilers were, A Feng, Xiaode and Wang Qiang.

The moon was shrouded in dark clouds again, lightning and thunder in the distance, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping, a few people fell asleep in place, barely found some sundries as pillows, and there was no bed or quilt, lying on the hard marble floor, this feeling was experienced for many people for the first time.

Mu Lan couldn't sleep, her mind flashed through the scenes that happened today, from being blocked by someone to this gloomy castle, all kinds of questions and ideas kept popping up, she tried to empty herself, forced herself to fall asleep quickly so as not to lose energy tomorrow, habitually stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, her mother's only relic can always make her feel comfortable.

The fire in the fireplace flickered and dimmed, I don't know who was snoring not far away, Mu Lan's sleep was very shallow, she didn't know how many dreams she had this night, she woke up several times, those dreams were bizarre or grotesque, she suddenly woke up, slowly looked at everyone, Wang Qiang, who was keeping vigil at night, sat on a stool and took a nap, his head was very deep and I don't know how long he had been asleep, the imaginary night watchman made her frown, and looked at several other sleeping people, beside Zhao Mengqi and Xu Min, and a few other men in the distance, the firelight reflected on their faces looked very quiet.

"Boom!" A small and small voice broke the quiet atmosphere.

Several people were sleeping soundly and didn't hear it, so Mu Lan immediately looked for the direction of the sound, as if it was far away upstairs.

She looked over vigilantly, and it was dark over there, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

As if she had been delusional, and after a long time there was no other sound, and she lay back down, but her body was facing in that direction, squinting her eyes and trying to adjust to the darkness, still vigilant.

"Knock knock!" The voice sounded twice in a row, and Mu Lan sat up busily, her heart beating wildly.

What is it? It was blurry to see in the dark, but it was a little better than before, and she got used to the dark environment, and she could roughly see that it was a certain room on the third floor.

Mu Lan held her breath, her attention was kept to the extreme, she stared at the large darkness on the third floor, for fear of missing something, but at this moment, there was a noise next to her, she was startled, and when she looked back, she saw a face suddenly appear in front of her.

“......！” Just as he was about to scream, a rough big hand covered his mouth, Mu Lan's heart beat like a drum, cold sweat couldn't help but break out, and his hands instinctively got rid of it.

"Shh Ah Feng signaled not to make a sound, after seeing that the person in front of him was Ah Feng, Mu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, this person was extremely powerful, and he couldn't break the hand that covered his mouth just now, Ah Feng saw that Mu Lan was no longer silent and let go of his hand and pointed in the direction of the third floor.

Mu Lan nodded, Ah Feng should have been woken up by those sounds, this person was really vigilant, she pointed in one direction, which was the approximate location she determined for the two sounds, indicating that it was over there.

"Knock...... Boom...... Boom...... Boom! ”

The sound sounded again, like someone walking in the hallway, the sound was far away, but it was real in the silence.

Mu Lan felt that the sound was like the sound of a hard object colliding on the hallway, and it paused every two sounds, which was very regular and rhythmic.

"What are you doing?" It was Xu Min's vague voice that didn't wake up, she looked at Mu Lan and Ah Feng and asked strangely, "Don't you two sleep at night?" ”

The voice also stopped abruptly with Xu Min speaking, and at this time Wang Qiang also woke up, he stretched his waist, moved his muscles and bones, got up and walked over: "What's wrong?" ”

"There's something!" Ah Feng said in a deep voice.

"Hmm!" Mu Lan nodded, "There was a sound of walking back and forth on the third floor just now, it's very strange!" ”

Wang Qiang realized the seriousness of the matter, and was just about to turn around to wake everyone up, when there was a series of particularly loud walking sounds on the third floor, as if something had been suddenly woken up, the sound changed from small to loud, and it was actually coming downstairs in their direction!
