Volume 3 The Forbidden Place Chapter 42 One Less

The supernatural phenomenon appeared again, and a line of small characters gradually appeared inexplicably under the empty frame on the top of Jiang Hui's head, and the font was exactly the same as the one on the wall of the corridor!

At this time, Jiang Hui was still like an ostrich, covering her head in the quilt, and she didn't know anything about the strange events that happened!

On the first night of the mission, no one could fall asleep on the ground, except for Cheng Guoguo, of course.

Xu Lang was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, but his mind was not on it at all, he always felt that this mission was always weird, just like Nameless said, there was always a sense of disobedience in his heart.

Antai Castle, this name that is neither Chinese nor Western, the blank frame at the head of the bed, the old man who does not hide the identity of the evil spirit, Xu Lang can't figure out what the purpose of his action is, and the man who suddenly appeared, what role he plays in this mission.

For the first time, Xu Lang felt that his mind was a little insufficient, and he began to feel a dull pain, his nerves had been stretched to the extreme, and his physical state was somewhat affected by long-term mental fatigue.

Force yourself to take a light nap, after all, it will be dawn in two hours, and there will be a tough battle to be fought during the day tomorrow.

Tossing and turning in bed, lying with my eyes closed for about half an hour, but I still couldn't rest still, I only felt that I was covered in sweat, and my clothes were tightly attached to my body, which was very uncomfortable.

Xu Lang sighed helplessly, sat up from the bed, and prepared to pour a glass of water and smoke a cigarette.

Just as he took the kettle from the table, a line of words began to appear on the wooden table, which did not exist early in the morning, but after he took the kettle, it seemed to have been drawn on the table by a transparent person with his fingernails.

Xu Lang hurriedly took two steps back, nervously starting to be alert to his surroundings, but he never felt anything unusual around him.

In fact, for normal people, even if there is a transparent person around, it can be sensed. For example, when a person is sleeping with his eyes closed, if someone points to the center of your eyebrows with a finger, you will faintly feel oppressed, and you will realize that there seems to be another person nearby.

This is commonly referred to as the "sixth sense", and the scientific explanation is that there is a fixed magnetic field around everyone, and once another person suddenly appears nearby, his magnetic field will invade your magnetic field, and you will have a feeling of oppression, and it is very likely that you will be aware of the people nearby.

But Xu Lang felt quietly for a long time, but there was no abnormality. It's not that he doesn't suspect that it's the evil spirit's means, but at the moment it seems that the evil spirit has no intention of harming him.

Xu Lang waited quietly for a while, nervous for a while, the kettle in his hand was always held by him, he changed to his left hand and slowly approached the table, wanting to see what the evil spirit had written.

I saw the smooth wooden tabletop, and a few crooked small words appeared at this moment, "Don't say your name!" ”

Perhaps the engraver was afraid that the warning would not smell enough, and even added an exclamation point to the end.

Xu Lang looked at these words and fell into deep thought, he couldn't say the name, it was for the old man, after all, the question of the name had been suspected by Xu Lang for a long time, and now it seems that the old man of the evil spirit will record the name, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

But when he looked at this line of writing, he fell into a deeper mystery, who was this letterer? There is no doubt that there is an evil spirit in this way, but why are you reminding me?

Could it be that there are two evil spirits in this castle, one harmless and the other harmful?

Xu Lang suddenly remembered that he saw the middle-aged man nameless yesterday, and almost forgot his existence, he was another evil spirit?

Old man, man, which one is the evil spirit that is ready to attack the executor!

Xu Lang slowly put the kettle back on the table, covered the line of small characters, and looked at the line of small words in a trance in the water through the transparent glass kettle.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, false and real, true and false. Xu Lang suddenly thought of another possibility.

Maybe the old man is the harmless evil spirit! The middle-aged man is a hidden murderous spirit, and the old man wants us to register our names and record them in a notebook, so the middle-aged man can't attack us.

This passage was carved by the evil spirit of the middle-aged man, and it was used to mislead me not to tell the old man's name.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang recalled again, the old man asked about his name at that time, and when Xu Lang didn't answer, the old man sighed humanely, and his expression was a little helpless.

Moreover, in the previous nameless midnight operation, the old man showed the power of the evil spirit, but did not harm him, but warned him not to go out after 12 o'clock. Moreover! Nameless, who violated this rule, immediately met a middle-aged man.

Although the middle-aged man did not attack him, it is also possible that the name Nameless is ambiguous, and it is likely that it has been recorded in the old man's notebook, so the man can only look at it, not make a move!

Xu Lang's brain is working frantically, if this explanation works, then all the current clues will be connected, and many doubts can be deduced.

But there has always been a particularly big flaw in this speculation.

That's too easy! That's right, this is enough to make this conjecture very controversial, even if it is an ordinary mission, it is impossible to find a way out with these three words.

And if you can live if you tell your name, then where does the detailed information about the portrait on the wall that the nameless see come from, and simply overturn this assumption.

Xu Lang fell into a dead cycle again, his head began to hurt more and more, and he simply didn't want to sit on the chair and smoke until dawn.

And just when the sky was gradually brightening, the gate of the castle was opened, and three middle-aged women walked in, carrying various vegetables in their hands, greeted the old man standing at the door, and went to the kitchen on the first floor to prepare for cooking.

The old man looked at these women, a cold light flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and a cruel smile was revealed, and they followed them into the kitchen.

After a while, the old man brought breakfast for 8 people and put it on the table, but the three middle-aged women never came out, and at this moment the kitchen wall sprayed a lot of blood, you can imagine the misery when they died, but there were no bodies in the whole room.

Where did these three women go?

But what was happening in the kitchen, the eight executors didn't know anything, and they all waited for dawn with their eyes open.

A ray of sunlight finally radiated into the room through the dark yellow window grille, but the room was still dim due to the stickers on the window, and the headlights still needed to be turned on to illuminate the whole room.

At this time, an old voice echoed in the corridor on the third floor, "It's time for the guests to get up and have breakfast." ”

Xu Lang heard the sound outside the room, and suddenly stood up from the chair, did not hurry out, but prepared to go to the bathroom to clean up, by the way, cheered up some spirits, and after a long time of tension and a night without sleep, the iron man couldn't stay up.

With a bang, the dark golden faucet quickly flowed out cold water, and Xu Lang slapped the cold water on his face with his hand, trying to stimulate his drowsy brain.

After washing for about three minutes, Xu Lang slowly raised his head, feeling that his current state was slightly better, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "If there is a mirror, you must be able to see that your eyes are full of bloodshots." ”

But as soon as I finished thinking about this sentence, I suddenly realized something, and suddenly looked up at the wall of the bathroom.

There was a bare wall, a wall inlaid with tiles, and there was no bathroom mirror at all, and Xu Lang's strange feeling in his heart was even worse, why was the layout and decoration of this ancient castle so strange, and it was unreasonable everywhere.

But at this time, I didn't think much about it, and hurriedly wiped my face and walked out of the door, today is a critical moment to find clues, and I need to meet with other executors.

As soon as I went out, I found that I was on the 3rd floor, and when I looked back, the rest of the executors were standing at the door, but they seemed to be waiting for everyone to gather together and go downstairs.

Xu Lang really saw that Cheng Guoguo next to him was next to him, and at this time he was snorting, looking like he hadn't woken up. Inside stood the terrified Li Feng, who seemed to have lost his arrogant temper last night, and was completely convinced.

Nameless was next door to Li Feng, and was looking left and right at this time, with suspicion in his eyes.

Xu Lang frowned, could something have happened? So he also looked around, and it didn't matter, and he was directly startled.

The walls on the 3rd floor are all covered with dark flower wallpaper, and there is no portrait of the nameless one he saw yesterday, not a single one!

This......

Xu Lang looked at Nameless abruptly, and he also saw disbelief in his eyes, what was going on?

Originally, Xu Lang thought that these portraits could be carefully checked during the day today, and maybe there were some clues hidden, but who would have thought that they would all disappear in a few hours!

While he was thinking about the reason for this change, the old man appeared in the center of the hall on the first floor, looked at the crowd, and shouted again, "Why don't you come down to eat yet?" ”

Xu Lang and the others no longer hesitated and began to walk downstairs together, and while walking, they quietly talked about the nameless experience last night by Cheng Guoguo's side.

The little fat man was also dumbfounded at this time, he didn't expect that so many things had happened to him in his sleep last night, he looked at the old man with evil spirits, and then looked back at the bare wall, and immediately realized that something had changed unknown.

Nameless and Xu Lang walked down, but their eyes looked around from time to time, especially when they passed by the second floor, they looked back and looked carefully, and sure enough, the original portraits on the second floor also disappeared.

The old man's rickety figure was right in front of him, and his face was full of compassion and filial piety, but a few people present knew that this was an out-and-out evil spirit, and it was effortless to kill everyone.

Xu Lang quietly shook his head at Nameless, signaled not to show anything abnormal, and continued to see what the old man did.

Nameless also nodded in response, Cheng Guoguo glanced at the old man a little strangely, and muttered a sentence in his mouth, others couldn't hear it clearly, but Xu Lang heard it, and he couldn't figure out why the evil spirit wouldn't let him drink Coke.

Ignoring this strange thing, everyone was brought to the table by the old man, which was a huge dining room, with 8 chairs neatly arranged, and it seemed that the old man did not want to sit down.

Instead, everyone was seated in turn, but at this moment, all the executors present suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There are not many old people here, there are only 7 people! One less!

There was one person who didn't even go downstairs?!
