Volume 3 The Place of Confinement Chapter 40 A sense of disobedience that cannot be ignored
Xu Lang is at a loss for the current situation, he doesn't dare to go out now, and many clues can't be verified at all, can he only wait until dawn to see if the situation has changed?
Xu Lang was particularly tired of this passive feeling in his heart, which reminded him of those things when he was a child, and the hardship of being unable to change the status quo.
The time had come to 2 o'clock on May 1st, and all the executors were sitting on the edge of the bed, not daring to make any movement at all, and the old man's second action had ended, and there was no movement in the whole castle.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Lang realized that there might not be a crisis before dawn, and this was the time to exchange information, so he began to call the rest of the executors.
This phone call was made directly for more than two hours, and several newcomers chattered and complained, which made Xu Lang extremely irritable to hear, and in a lot of nonsense, Xu Lang gradually figured out the situation of several executors.
There were three executors who did not answer the old man's questions: Xu Lang, Zhu Zixing and Li Feng
There are three people who tell the old man their real names: Lu Xiaozhi, Ruan Fei, and Nameless
There are two special circumstances: Cheng Guoguo and Jiang Hui
Li Feng and Xu Lang's situation is somewhat similar, they can't distinguish between the old man's fiction and reality, and they don't answer their names directly; There is also an outlier among the three people whose names are given, and that is nameless.
According to Nameless's own account, the old man also walked into the room at that time and asked for the name, and he replied that Nameless, but the old man's expression was a little strange, and he even asked again, he still answered Nameless, and then the old man nodded thoughtfully and recorded it.
Nameless probably said his real name without hesitation, but the old man thought he was perfunctory and unwilling to tell his real name, so he asked again and again, but in the end why he left, either giving up or agreeing with his statement.
Xu Lang couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't expect that the nameless name might also be ambiguous, which would have an impact on the progress of the mission.
And Jiang Hui's special situation is a little weird, when she buried her head in the quilt, swore not to listen to anything that happened in the room, when the old man walked into her room, of course, she also saw Jiang Hui curled up in the quilt, trembling.
According to Jiang Hui, although she couldn't see what was happening outside, she also knew that the door was opened and a person came in, and that person didn't make any moves, let alone ask a name question like everyone else.
She thought that the person had already left, but found that a cold and dry hand was holding her ankle, this change directly frightened her into incontinence, she wanted to scream but seemed to lose her voice, but she opened her mouth wide but did not make any movement, which was completely frightened, just when she thought she was dead.
But unexpectedly, the next step was to carefully put her feet exposed outside the quilt into the quilt, and even felt that the thin quilt on her body was still covered.
When Xu Lang heard Jiang Hui's situation at that time, he was stunned and couldn't believe it. That old man would actually cover Jiang Hui with a quilt?
Xu Lang speculated that it might be Jiang Hui pretending to be asleep, but he was trembling with fright, but in the eyes of the old man, he thought that she was frozen in her sleep, so she went to help cover the quilt.
But why did he do it! In such an ancient castle where there must be evil spirits, the old man is not an evil spirit and is probably not a normal person, he first stopped Cheng Guoguo from drinking Coke, and then covered the quilt for Jiang Hui, which is too abnormal.
Could it be that Cheng Guoguo and Jiang Hui are special for this mission? But Xu Langsi couldn't think of a reason why they were treated differently.
What bothers Xu Lang the most now is what the current executors of these three different performances will experience next, and how will the old man treat them......
What role does the old man play in this castle, and what role does the 8 executors play, if you can figure this out, I'm afraid it will be a big push.
......
At this moment, the nameless door was suddenly opened, and in the silent corridor, the squeaky door opened extremely loudly, and the nameless figure blended into the darkness and slowly walked out of the door.
Nameless, the only one of the 8 executioners who took the initiative to walk out of the door!
Xu Lang and others didn't know this, but the employees in front of the projection screen saw it clearly, and suddenly exploded in the hall, Yan Yan swallowed his saliva, and secretly said that this nameless person was too bold, in fact, he had already observed this person.
Before, when everyone appeared in the room inexplicably, they hurriedly turned on the lights to observe the room, only he, sitting motionless at the head of the bed, couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, looked no different from a walking corpse, the most bizarre thing was that Yan Yan saw that the nameless eyes were flickering in the dark night.
Who the hell is he sacred!
In fact, they didn't know that although Nameless entered the newspaper office at the same time as the Lin family's sisters and brothers, it was not the same task they performed at all.
Nameless is the only one who has the task, betting on cards with the evil spirit, only betting on the size, if the evil spirit wins the nameless death, and the nameless wins to complete the novice task. And Nameless bets against the evil spirit, and even drew 17 games in a row, until the last one can win the evil spirit, which is also one of the reasons why he was natural when he first joined the club.
There was no fear of coming face to face with the evil spirit at close range, who knows what Nameless's previous occupation was, but he was bold and careful, daring to be the first, and he stepped out when all the executors were afraid to go out of the door to explore.
The nameless room was located in the center of the third floor, and he pushed the door open and walked out, still without any expression on his face, but his eyes still twinkling with a ghostly light. The dark hallway was empty, and there was no light source.
But Nameless looked at the location of the stairs accurately, in fact, Nameless's eyes can see at night, like wolves, and will begin to glow at night.
Nameless first looked left and right, this is a simple circular building, a circle of railings on the side of the fourth floor, he looked down at a huge exhibition hall below, in addition to a large solid wood table on the ground, surrounded by some European iron sculptures, holding swords and shields in their hands, standing in the dark night, like a lurking evil spirit, looking particularly terrifying.
Nameless began to walk slowly along the edge of the wall on the third floor to the staircase, where various portraits hung on the wall, and after looking at them one by one, Nameless began to have a strong sense of disobedience.
Because these portraits are not so-called world celebrities at all, almost all of them are yellow-skinned and black-eyed, with fairly consistent expressions, dilated pupils, pale faces, and distorted facial features, as if they have experienced great torture, and their faces are full of horror, panic, helplessness, and despair.
Nameless frowned and looked at about a dozen portraits, and found a line of small letters at the bottom of the frame, which looked like they had been carved with a carving knife, "No. 22, Hua Yu, entered at 10:14 on June 14, 2001"
Looking at this line, Nameless felt strange, and looked up at the young man in the painting, "It seems that this man is Hua Yu." ”
Nameless then continued to look at it, and sure enough, there was such a line of small characters under each painting, especially incomprehensible, he looked at about 20 paintings on the third floor, and every line of words below seemed to have been carved by a machine.
Each line of small print, one stroke at a time, the strength, style and even size are exactly the same, which is completely impossible for human beings, is it the power of evil spirits? But why do evil spirits bother to make such things?
Nameless stroked the frame, unable to hide the confusion in his heart, but he felt that he had really underestimated the difficulty of the task, and a bad feeling suddenly hit his heart.
......
The people outside the projection screen also fell into thought, Yan Yan lit a cigarette, looked at the screen and was silent, what is the purpose of the task so arranged? These people must have been killed, and apparently they had suffered a great deal before they died.
Could it be that the evil spirit of this mission is a guy with a sense of ritual? Draw down the expressions of each victim before they died, frame them, and even sign them down to register the time they entered the castle?
Check in? Yan Yan suddenly had a thought in his mind, remembering that the old man asked for the name of each executor and took a notebook to record it...... He immediately realized that it was not good.
At this time, the cigarette in his hand also burned out, and suddenly burned his fingers, Yan Yan seemed to have been bitten by a poisonous snake, and stood up from the sofa, startling everyone.
Ignoring the surprised eyes around him, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone, preparing to inform Xu Lang of his discovery as soon as possible, registering is the biggest trap related to the life and death of this mission!
But when the phone called, a polite female voice rang on the mobile phone: "I'm sorry, the phone you dialed is not in the service area, please dial again later......"
Yan Yan frowned, this mission turned out to be to restrict communication equipment and prohibit off-site support.
"Confined place, Xu Lang, you must not underestimate this mission...... I wonder if there will really be a group annihilation! ”
At this time, Xu Lang in the mission was still lying on the bed with his eyes staring, thinking about the current clues, but he never dared to go out of the door.
And the nameless outside is standing at the staircase on the 3rd floor, thinking about whether to go downstairs to inspect, he feels that it is very likely that the task is currently leaving them time to find clues, and there will be dawn in a few hours, but there may not be any changes, if he gives up, he is really unwilling.
After thinking about it for a while, Nameless stepped down the stairs, and he immediately came to the second floor.
The structure of the 2nd and 3rd floors is similar, and the walls are also full of portraits, here are portraits from No. 1 to No. 20, which are similar to those on the upper floor, except that the people on this floor of portraits, their identity information is more than ten years ago.
No. 20, this painting is a bit peculiar, the picture is just a back, wearing a cyan coat, only the upper body, but it looks like hugging something tightly, curled up in the corner. Looking at the emaciated back and long hair draped, it should be a woman, even if you just look at the portrait, you can feel how terrible the situation was at that time, so that this woman doesn't even have the courage to look back.
Nameless stared at the small words below, "No. 20, Li Xiujuan, entered on March 24, 1996"
Just staring at it but realizing that something was wrong, Nameless faintly felt that something was missing here, and this missing thing was very important, where was the disobedience?
Just as Nameless lowered his head and pondered, a weak and hoarse voice came from behind, and his tone was full of endless viciousness and coldness, which suddenly appeared in the dead corridor, which made him suddenly startled, and cold sweat rose from his forehead at that moment, and his pupils shrank sharply.
"What are you doing here?"
