Volume 3 The Forbidden Place Chapter 48 Where Did They Go?
At 10 o'clock in the morning, in Jiang Hui's room on the 3rd floor, the plan of killing three birds with one stone had been fully agreed, and the room was quiet for a while, and the current clues had been almost discussed, only the faint smell of blood in the room was still spreading.
Xu Lang sniffled and inadvertently swept the source of the smell of blood.
Suddenly stunned in place, looking at the empty sheets, as if he realized something, he beckoned to the other executors: "No, Jiang Hui's body was taken away by the evil spirit!" ”
Cheng Guoguo and the others were stunned by Xu Lang's sudden words, and immediately put their eyes on the bed, Li Feng said with some suspicion: "It's just a corpse, if it's gone, it's gone." ”
Cheng Guoguo immediately jumped out and retorted and said: "No, there is no point in the mission that is untargeted, and the disappearance of the corpse must mean something!" ”
Xu Lang hurriedly called everyone: "Let's go back to the restaurant on the first floor and see if Ruan Fei's body is there!" ”
Cheng Guoguo, Nameless and Zhu Zixing were very skillful, and they stood up without too much hesitation, and were about to leave to check, but Li Feng and Lu Xiaozhi on the side looked embarrassed, as if they didn't want to face the old man.
Xu Lang glanced at them and didn't pay much attention to them, but the kind-hearted Zhu Zixing also persuaded him: "Now the more you act alone, the more dangerous it will be, and you can still take care of each other with the big army." ”
Li Feng struggled a little, but in the last gritted his teeth and stood with Xu Lang and the others, Lu Xiaozhi clenched his fists as if to embolden himself, and leaned over after a while.
Xu Lang's cold eyes swept over the faces of the two, and he quietly took the lead in walking out of the room.
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw an old and gloomy face suddenly appear at the door, Xu Lang was startled by the sudden appearance of the old man, and subconsciously took a step back, and the people behind him were even more nervous, especially Lu Xiaozhi.
He even thought that the old man appeared at this time to kill him, so he was so frightened that he fled to the room, Li Feng was a little better, but he also retreated little by little.
The old man swept the faces of the executors without expression, Xu Lang was less than half a meter away from him, and he could almost feel that the old man was not breathing at all, and the coldness exuded from his body was simply biting.
But Xu Lang firmly felt that he had not triggered any dead end, and the purpose of the old man blocking the door could not be to kill them.
After a stalemate at the door for a while, the old man slowly opened his mouth and made a gloomy and hoarse voice: "Since you don't have a good breakfast, let's start lunch now, hurry downstairs." ”
If people who don't know just listen to the old man's words, they probably think that he is very thoughtful, and he didn't eat breakfast and prepared lunch in advance to entertain them. But the executors present all turned pale.
"Eat?" , It seems that this old man doesn't play to death, they won't give up at all, Ruan Fei just died because of eating, and now he wants them to eat?
Xu Lang quietly glanced at the executors around him, signaling not to be too nervous, as long as he didn't eat all the food on the plate, it would be fine.
At that moment, he communicated to the old man and said, "This is okay, we will go down in a while." ”
The old man said firmly in a non-negotiable tone: "No, go down to eat with me now!" ”
Xu Lang frowned and couldn't understand a little, why did the old man have to let them go to dinner, the survival of Lu Xiaozhi and Li Feng before showed that just eating had a chance to avoid a dead end, why did he still ask us to be stubborn?
Just as he was thinking about this, the old man had begun to get impatient, the air around him began to stagnate, and the biting coldness on his body began to invade the nearest Xu Lang.
Xu Lang secretly said that it was not good, it turned out that not following the rules of the old man would also be dangerous, so he hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay, we will go down with you now." ”
After saying this, he glanced at the people around him, suggesting that he acted randomly.
Hearing this, the old man's face eased slightly, and he stopped talking, turned around and walked down, not afraid that the executor would not follow, and this time his walking speed was about the same as the speed of a young man, not at all the speed of that time in the morning.
When Xu Lang saw this, he felt that the old man was the evil spirit who killed Jiang Hui, and he deliberately slowed down and delayed time before just to kill Jiang Hui and dispose of the corpse.
Everyone in the group was full of emotions, but they all had a bad feeling, they had already seen that the bloodstains on the first floor had long disappeared at this time, and Ruan Fei's body was also missing.
Where did they go?
Xu Lang was even more puzzled, it was still possible that the old man took advantage of the time just now to hide Ruan Fei's body, but how did he dispose of Jiang Hui's body in the blink of an eye in the morning?
Xu Lang had a feeling in his heart that if he could find the disappeared corpse, he might make great progress in this mission, and his life would not be far away.
There are experienced performers who never think about surviving the evil spirits, or returning at the end of the mission. At the end of the day, the attacks of evil spirits will become more frequent, and the restrictions imposed on evil spirits by the newspaper will be relaxed on a large scale.
Maybe now the evil spirit needs the executor to trigger two dead ends before it kills, but tomorrow maybe one will kill if it is triggered, and the last day after tomorrow may not trigger any dead ends at all, and they will definitely die.
In short, delaying until the end of the mission to complete the mission is basically impossible, unless there is some luck against the sky. Therefore, experienced executors will do their best to find clues in the task, so as to find a way out and complete the task ahead of schedule.
Now, strictly speaking, it's only the first day of the mission, but two executors have died, and although some information has been obtained, these are still far from life.
The situation is not good, although there are two dead ends, but there are still many dangers in this ancient castle, and I don't know how to die if you are not careful.
Xu Lang was thinking, and his footsteps had inadvertently arrived at the location of the restaurant.
Looking at the clean and tidy table, the delicious dishes on the table, no one would have thought that there was a tragic death here not long ago.
All the executors faced a table full of dishes, and although they smelled good, none of them took the lead in picking up the chopsticks.
Even Lu Xiaozhi looked at the beef on the table, and remembered that Ruan Fei was torn apart, and almost spit it out when he covered his mouth, and everyone else also looked ugly, and for a while, the table seemed to be stagnant.
Since the old man led everyone to the table, he stood on the edge of the table in disguise as a waiter, as before, without saying a word.
Lu Xiaozhi covered his mouth, his muscles burst out, and he suddenly stood up, it seemed that he really couldn't help but want physical fear, and was about to turn around when he saw the old man who was originally the farthest away from him instantly appeared beside him and pressed his shoulder.
Said coldly: "You didn't eat a few bites of food in the morning, and now that I'm ready, you want to leave without eating?" ”
Lu Xiaozhi was so frightened that his uncontrollable nausea calmed down instantly, which was completely frightened, in fact, all his physical discomfort was just a psychological effect.
Feeling the dissatisfaction and coldness in the old man's tone, Lu Xiaozhi sat down stupidly, looked at the rice on the plate and opened his mouth but couldn't swallow it.
Xu Lang witnessed all this, and saw that the old man teleported back to his original position after saying this, and continued to pretend to be a "wooden man" in a daze.
It seems that if you don't eat, you can't get past the old man, Xu Lang turned his head away from the stainless steel plate on the table.
This plate can be said to be quite smooth and clean, about the size of a human face, the front is covered by a layer of rice, and the face cannot be illuminated, but the side is hidden from his neck, and you can see that although it is a little blurry, there is probably no problem with irradiation. Xu Lang didn't dare to look at the back, in case he didn't have time to dodge, he would be very wronged.
The dishes on the table are all made of ceramics, and there will be no situation similar to looking in the mirror.
Xu Lang looked at the several executors around him, none of them ate immediately, only Cheng Guoguo didn't have so many worries, and directly picked up a portion of pork ribs in front of him and ate it, his mouth full of oil.
But Xu Lang noticed that he didn't eat the rice on the plate at all, and it seemed that although he wasn't too guarded, he still didn't touch the rice out of prudence.
When everyone saw Cheng Guoguo's approach, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, isn't it the same to just eat vegetables without touching the rice on the plate? Quickly followed suit one by one, and the people who hadn't eaten all night were actually hungry enough, and at this time they grabbed the dishes on the table and ate them.
Of the 7 executors, only Lu Xiaozhi always ate a plate of green vegetables, and he was sick to his stomach at a glance at the meat dishes on one side.
Xu Lang pondered while eating, there were a lot of dishes on the table, there were 10 kinds of dishes, how did the old man make it alone? Thinking like this, I couldn't help but look in the direction of the open kitchen, but it was quiet as usual, and it didn't look like there were living people inside.
Xu Lang, who looked suspicious, no longer pondered, and began to eat like everyone else, and after a while, about half of the dishes on the table were eaten, and the executors were all full of food and drink, and they were about to get up and leave.
But the old man suddenly walked over, looked at the dishes on the table, and the 7 plates that did not miss a grain of rice, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, and then looked at everyone and said, "The rice must be eaten!" Not a grain of rice is left! ”
"What?"
This...... Why did the old man's rule suddenly come again, and he insisted that not a grain of rice be left, wouldn't that be looking for death!
Then the old man said, "Within five minutes, you must eat the food on your plate!" ”
Everyone sat down in their chairs for a moment, looking at the stainless steel plate shining in the sun, and kept cursing the old man who was supervising in their hearts.
Time passed little by little, and the faces of the executors became more and more ugly, and now they are in a dilemma, whether to eat or to die, not to eat or to die!
