Chapter 63: Alice's Hell (34) - Sao Operation!
After taking care of Zeng Lai's side, only the hysteria left in the library was the hysteria that fell into detachment due to the early withdrawal of the eyeball servant.
Books are scattered on the floor, making OCD worry for a while.
Hysteria got up from the ground, looked at Xing who was leaning on the side with his arms crossed, and took two steps back vigilantly: "Why don't you leave?" β
He's done Xing a favor with this, shouldn't he have to share clues with Xing? If so, this ...... This man is not a depravity line, he wrote his name upside down!
Why!
Who knows, Yu Xing just glanced at him, and his fingers were on the side of his arm.
After finding that it was more effective to treat hysteria in a violent way, Yu Xing decided to maintain this way of getting along in front of this person, worry-free: "Hmm...... There's another thing I want you to help with. β
"What!?" Hysteria was indignant, "What's the matter!" β
Yu Xing moved his wrist: "Find something to tie me up." β
Hysteria: "......? "What are you going to do?
The hysterical suspect that his hysterical symptoms began to flare up, to the point that he had auditory hallucinations.
"Put, I, tie up." Yu Xing saw that his face was gradually dull, and he bit down word by word and said again, "No?" My hands were tied behind my back, and my two ankles were connected with ropes to make sure I couldn't walk fast...... It's not difficult, right? β
The hysteria came back to his senses, and said in his heart, did I ask you how to tie you, I asked why you suddenly asked me to tie you!
Yu Xing said: "Do you have a rope?" β
Hysteria: "There is ......"
It was an ordinary thin hemp rope, which he had picked up when he passed by the utility room.
There is no need to waste time, Yu Xing nodded with satisfaction, and coldly spit out a word:
"Tie."
"......" took out the rope with doubts and began to tie him up according to Yu Xing's words just now, when he tied Yu Xing's hands and wrists together, he said viciously in his heart, he should bring a sacrifice in the form of a rope, so willing to let him tie it, he let Xing no longer break free.
And then...... And then kill the other party half to death.
It's infuriating.
"Tied up?"
After a while, the wrists and ankles were covered with ropes, Yu Xing tried to struggle, but he didn't dare to push too hard, but he could also feel that the hysteria tied him was very sincere.
"Okay, what the hell are you going to do?" Hysteria rolled her eyes.
"Escort me to the lobby on the first floor, hand me over to the butler, and say that I am the one who destroyed the sculpture exhibition hall."
The sculptural imprint on Yu Xing's body had already dissipated as the half-hour time limit passed, and he didn't know if the butler could still identify him as the saboteur, but he just needed a chance to open the conversation with the butler.
The hostile mission is over, but his side quest is not over.
"It's you......" Hysteria naturally knew about the destruction of the sculpture exhibition hall broadcast in the castle before, and also received a hint of a hostile mission, but he was bent on finding a book suspected to be an employee's autobiography in the library, and ignored it.
Well...... Did this guy do it, just think about itβit's entirely possible!
"Wait, you want me to tie you up...... You're not afraid of being ...... by Alice," Hysteria paused halfway through his words, thinking of the clues he had gotten, "Do you think that butler will help tourists?" β
Yu Xing didn't say anything, just urged him with a cold look.
β¦β¦
So, a few minutes later, in the empty and bright hall on the first floor, the butler who was standing straight saw such a scene.
Two figures walked down the stairs one after the other, the one in front was very tall, his hands tied behind him, and his steps were calm, although he was pushed forward by the hands behind him, but the look seemed to say - can you hurry up.
The one in the back was almost blocked by the one in front because of his size.
"Butler, this is the saboteur I asked for on the radio just now." Hysteria pushed Yu Xing to the butler and tried to speak.
The old butler in the lake blue suit was in excellent spirits, but it was the stiff face that couldn't smile that made him lose the feeling of being alive. His eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, and he said with a blanket look: "There is no imprint on his body." β
"But half an hour has passed, and the mark must be gone, isn't it that the saboteurs can already get away with it?" Thinking about the fragment of the book that he saw through Zeng Lai's eyes, he suspected that the source of the fragment was this butler, and he hoped to find a breakthrough in the butler at the moment.
The butler glanced at him lightly and bowed politely: "Dear tourist, you can't prove that this tourist is the saboteur. β
"Yes."
He also wanted to be reasonable, so Yu Xing said to himself: "I did it, after realizing my mistake, I was very frightened and afraid, I am willing to admit my mistake and be punished as I deserve, and I hope that Mr. Butler will give me a chance to make up for my mistake." β
Butler: "......"
Hysteria: "......"
What the housekeeper was thinking, the hysteria naturally couldn't know, he only knew that he had been blinded by the operation of this person.
Good guys, what kind of attitude is this for high school students to write reviews! Is it appropriate for you to apply this attitude to deductions that are likely to kill you?
Yu Xing continued: "Before the alarm, I broke a total of twelve sculptures, and after the broadcast, I panicked and broke another one. Mr. Steward, I have caused a great loss to the castle, and I have a troubled conscience if I do not punish it. β
Butler: "......"
The white-haired old man's stiff face seemed to move slightly, and his eyes looked at Yu Xing: "That's right, there are thirteen sculptures in total, and I believe you are the destroyer." β
The rubble all over the ground, if it weren't for the scene to watch and break one by one, it would have been impossible to count.
He stretched out his hand, took Yu Xing from the hand of the hysteria who was surprised but did not show it on his face, and said to the hysteria, "Dear visitor, thank you for your contribution to Alice's hell security. β
Since the time limit had passed, the hysteria did not receive any reward, and he did not expect a reward, but took the opportunity to ask, "Mr. Butler, will you be lucky...... It's a saboteur, where to take it? β
"Leave it to Alice." The housekeeper nodded faintly, "Do you want to come along?" β
Give it to Alice? Alice is now in the monster camp, whoever catches him will die!
Hysteria frowned, feeling that he couldn't jump into the pit so hastily, and he suspected that Yu Xing's move was likely to hit the muzzle of the gun, maybe it was looking for death, so he shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Housekeeper, you can deal with it." β
The butler didn't say much, but walked with Yu Xing to the stairs on the far right that led to the fifth floor.
Yu Xing glanced back at the hysteria and told the other party with his eyes: Get out, don't follow.
The hysteria "cut", didn't bother to care about the tragedy that might happen here, and turned around and walked back to the fourth floor.
It's not reliable, this luck is a little too confident, he still uses his own way to find clues.
β¦β¦
The strength of the housekeeper's hand didn't look heavy, but it was actually pressed on the rope, limiting all the small movements that Yu Xing might make.
Without saying a word, the old gentleman took him to the rusty locked door on the fifth floor, took out the key from his suit pocket, unscrewed the lock with one hand, and the rusty door creaked and stabbed, and was pushed open a small slit, revealing the dark and dark environment inside.
Yu Xing asked again at this time, "Where are you going to take me?" β
"Didn't you just say it, leave it to Alice to dispose of." Probably recognized the identity of the saboteur, and the butler no longer had the politeness to the tourists, but spoke in a cold and hard tone.
"Pull it down." Yu Xing said, "If someone catches me in that half an hour, you say you want to bring me to Alice and I will believe it." Right now? Alice is delirious, what do you expect her to do with me. β
The butler's hand pushing the door paused and looked at him.
Yu Xing's hands were tied, and the ropes on his ankles also made it inconvenient for him to walk, but his mentality was so good that he showed a smile that was very difficult to control at first glance at the old gentleman of the housekeeper: "I happened to meet her~ When Alice joined the monster camp, she was irrational." β
The housekeeper retracted his gaze, pushed open the door as usual, and pushed Yu Xing in.
"Uhhh
The door closed behind Yu Xing again, and in the next second, a small flame burst out of the space that fell into complete darkness, illuminating a small area.
Yu Xing took a little attention to look around, the corridor he was in now was deep and narrow, and at first glance it looked a little similar to the Rose Tunnel where Zeng Lai was.
"Are you afraid?" The butler with the lighter in his hand was the source of the small flame, and he rarely took the initiative to speak.
"I'm not afraid, I'm afraid of what I'm going to do when I come over and give you a head." Yu Xing felt that the butler's strength holding his wrist had loosened, so he turned to face the butler, easily broke the rope open, took out the fire fold from the pocket of his pants, quickly stroked in the air, and successfully lit it, "Use this, this one is a little brighter." β
In the dilapidated corridor, the dust floats in the air, still or moving, and Yu Xing's face flickers and brightens behind the dust, giving people an illusion that it is not real.
The butler looked at him and did not speak.
Do I need to "do something to trigger the next mission"? A thought flashed through Yu Xing's mind, a little funny, it felt like a game.
"I've found the pages of a book that one of the previous tourists had hidden, and the contents were ...... If I'm not mistaken, you wrote it. β
Yu Xing was talking about what he had turned out of his pillowcase in the corridor on the fifth floor that he had explored with Zeng Lai.
[After everything is over, it has returned to its original appearance, the sky is still the same cloud, and the eyes that are looking at the earth all the time are still in the sky. I can't remember how many days without the sun have been I've had. In the afternoon, Alice hired a third employee......]
The butler didn't really know which one he was talking about, because there was more than one page in the castle that contained such information.
But this did not prevent him from receiving some kind of information, and the white-haired old gentleman said: "Couldn't it be written by your tour guide?" β
The nun the guide, who had not been seen since she took them to the castle's bedrooms.
Yu Xing bent down to untie the rope on his ankle, then straightened up and leaned back lazily, his sweatshirt that was already stained with blood was stained with dust on the wall, but he didn't care at all, in fact, most of the time he was like this without bones, relying on whatever he caught.
"This brings us to the question of position, but before that, Mr. Butler, can I confirm one thing with you?" He raised an eyebrow and said, "I know you're afraid of Alice, so I found an opportunity to be alone with you that met the 'rules'." But I have to confirm it...... Do you have the courage to stand up to Alice? β
The butler's expressionless face suddenly appeared in a state where he wanted to make some other expression, but he could only twitch slightly, and the coldness in his voice faded a little: "Tell me first, why me, not a tour guide?" β
He watched Yu Xing untie his restraints and was indifferent, he didn't mention where he wanted to take Yu Xing to dispose of it, and he didn't say a word like he did when he stayed in the hall, the corners of Yu Xing's mouth hooked, knowing that his guess was correct.
"Since Mr. Butler is patient, then I will pick the key points and say it, so that Mr. Butler can confirm whether it is worth cooperating with me, a 'tourist'." Yu Xing's posture was very relaxed, holding the fire fold weakly, smelling the smell of burning substances in the air, and sitting on the discarded cabinet next to him very dishonestly, one of his two legs hung down, his feet were on the ground, and the other was slightly bent, and his feet were hanging a few centimeters from the ground.
"In Alice's castle, in addition to Alice, the founder, there are three employees, namely a guide, a butler, and a chef. The chef was the last to join, and it didn't matter who came first or butler, what matters was that Alice clearly valued the tour guide more. Yu Xing glanced at the old butler, "When the tour guide took us around the hall, her attitude towards you was no different from that towards a statue or a pot of flowers, and it was obvious that she didn't think you were a character who needed her respect." β
"In this situation, I found that it is likely that Alice is aware of your self-consciousness as a housekeeper, or rather, a possibility of disobedience, so she has greatly weakened your authority, so that you can't even do such a small thing as 'providing a glass of water to tourists outside of meal time'."
The issue of authority was thought of by Yu Xing after Zeng Lai at that time, Zeng Lai's temptation may not be aimed at this, but the speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, and Yu Xing is very good at reusing existing information.
He continued: "As soon as we entered the castle, the guide told us that there were ghosts that roamed the castle for each of our visitors. If you don't think about it carefully, you may think that it is just a rule, but if you think about it carefully, you can find ......"
"Why do ghosts appear, and why do they correspond to tourists?"
"Either Alice has the ability to see through people's hearts and create these ghosts quickly, but that's impossibleβotherwise, she wouldn't be able to tell that I'm the one she's looking for because I'm masked."
"Well, there's another possibility, that before we entered the castle, we cooperated in something that was enough for the ghost to be created."
He reached out and waved the dust around the tip of his nose, and smiled at the old butler, "Obviously, we have all done things...... It's a ticket wicket. β
The tour guide held a pot of roses and told the "tourists" that they had to check in before they could enter.
And the process of checking the ticket ...... It is for them to drip their blood on the red roses that bloom.
