Volume 3 The Forbidden Place Chapter 41 Unabashedly
"What are you doing here?"
The sudden sound was no less than a thunderclap in Nameless's mind, especially the eerie chill in his tone, which made the hairs on his body stand up instantly.
Cold sweat suddenly appeared, Nameless took a few deep breaths and slowly turned around, and moved closer to the railing without leaving a trace.
The terrifying old man who asked for everyone's names before was standing behind Nameless, and when he saw Nameless turn around, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Even if Nameless was not an ordinary person, he was also a little frightened at this time, and he calculated in his heart that the height of this place from the hall on the first floor was about less than three meters, and this height could immediately turn around and run away even if he jumped down with his own skills.
But if this old man is an evil spirit, I'm afraid he is delusional at all, he hasn't turned his face with me yet, I'm afraid he hasn't triggered a dead end.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Nameless said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I can't sleep, so I go shopping." ”
Even in the face of an old man who might be an evil spirit, Nameless still maintains a taciturn attitude.
Fortunately, after hearing this explanation, the old man put away the fierce expression just now, and said coldly: "You must not leave the room after twelve o'clock in the night, one last warning, go back quickly." ”
After saying this, the old man suddenly disappeared out of thin air!
That's right, it was not disguised in front of the nameless eyes, and he teleported away directly, Rao is nameless was also a little dumbfounded, it turned out that he was really an evil spirit!
However, his psychological quality is really super strong, and he quickly reacted, and he couldn't stay any longer, the old man had warned for the last time, I was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, he would directly kill someone.
Nameless hurriedly walked upstairs, although he was slightly flustered, Nameless still maintained a normal speed, after all, he didn't know if he would be noticed by the old man again if he was flustered.
Walking at such a normal pace, he was back on the third floor in less than three minutes, but Nameless was not so honest, leaning against the railing and looking down at the structure of the castle as he walked.
The front is about to arrive at the room where the name is, at this time he looked left and right and found that the old man did not continue to appear, he suddenly became bolder, just now the 2nd and 3rd floors have been observed, and the 1st floor has also been checked, only the situation on the 4th floor is unknown, it shouldn't matter if you look up a little at this time.
Thinking so, Nameless thought about it and quietly threw the lighter in his pocket on the ground.
With a click, the silence of the corridor was broken again, and Nameless squatted on the ground a little nervously and looked around, and found that there was no abnormality, so he stuck his head out of the railing, and first looked downstairs, but fortunately the old man did not appear.
Nameless began to gradually relax and want to see what was going on on the 4th floor, but before he could raise his head, he felt a slimy liquid fall from the top of his head, dripping on his scalp, and he could even feel that the liquid was still warm.
frowned, subconsciously touched it with his hand, and felt a mass of something like sticky phlegm, stuck to his fingers, nameless stunned but instantly realized something, suddenly turned around, and looked up.
I saw a man who was extremely pale, with distorted facial features and a scruffy beard, lying on the railing on the fourth floor in the same posture and staring straight at him, his eyes were full of madness and hideousness, his mouth grinned to an unimaginable degree, stretched out his long tongue, and with his nameless unique eyes, he could even see a saliva line hanging straight down from his tongue.
In the dark and gloomy castle, there are only these two people outside the room at present, on the 3rd floor and the 4th floor, the two faces are less than 3 meters apart and they are looking at each other up and down, this scene is indescribably weird and terrifying.
The nameless and powerful heart couldn't help beating wildly at this time, and the moment he saw this face, he froze in place, keeping his head up and not daring to move!
Looking at the man's terrifying face, he could even read the expression on this face, it was a kind of joy, excitement, like the excitement of a wolf who had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw a sheep.
Although it was very tedious to say, all this happened in less than three seconds, and after a few seconds of stalemate between Nameless and the man, it seemed that the man did not make any movement except staring at him like this, and his heart calmed down a little.
He began to slowly move his body parallel to the door, all the while observing the man's expression, the man remained motionless like a piece of wood, but when Nameless was about to leave his sight, he accurately caught a trace of disappointment in the man's eyes.
Without having time to think about it, Nameless quickly opened the door, hurriedly got in, locked the door with his backhand, and leaned against the door to listen quietly to the outside movement, waiting for about half a minute, and there was nothing abnormal.
He was finally able to go to the bathroom and start washing off the disgusting stuff, and the water began to wash the liquid, but Nameless's mind began to stretch.
The harvest of this outing was quite rich, first of all, I saw the portrait and the small characters engraved on the frame; And confirmed the identity of the old man as an evil spirit.
But there are also more mysteries, and Nameless always feels that these portraits have a sense of disobedience, and as for what went wrong, he feels that he can't remember it at all, as if this is a particularly ordinary and extremely secret place.
And that weird man, looking at his age, should be about fifty years old, is he a human or an evil spirit, and what secrets are hidden on the 4th floor?
Nameless took out his mobile phone at this time, looked at Xu Lang's phone number, and called directly without too much hesitation.
For some reason, although off-site communication is prohibited, several executors can exchange information by phone.
Nameless didn't think much about it, and directly shared these clues with Xu Lang.
Xu Lang, who received the call on the other side, was also very surprised, he didn't expect this nameless man to be so bold, and took the lead in going out to explore clues with his own risk, Xu Lang frowned and thought for a while, with his own character, he would never do this kind of behavior, not to mention that it is not yet a critical moment, even if he needs someone to explore the way, it is not his turn to risk his life.
Nameless recounted everything he had just experienced to Xu Lang, in fact, in Xu Lang's view, Nameless's so-called going out to find clues had little effect on the task.
As for the portrait, in fact, as long as you go out during the day tomorrow, you can observe it, and the risk is very low, hanging it in the corridor is just for them to see, so why go out in the middle of the night and risk it.
However, the nameless can also be regarded as a gain, and the fact that the old man is an evil spirit has been verified by him. And the old man's words made Xu Lang a little heartfelt.
"Don't go out of the room after twelve o'clock in the night, one last warning", then this is a rule, and the first rule known to the executors, thinking of the name of the mission "Forbidden Place", I am afraid that there are many obscure rules in this ancient castle, which are controlled by the evil spirit old man.
If you violate it for the first time, you will be given a warning, and if you violate it again, it will be difficult to say what the outcome will be. "It seems that we will have to be careful in what we say and do in the future."
There is also about the appearance of the man on the 4th floor, which is also a strange point, and the strange place in the general mission symbolizes the clue, and it seems that the man is harmless for the time being, of course, it is impossible to determine whether he is an evil spirit or not, it seems that the problem on the 4th floor will have to be faced sooner or later.
Nameless didn't interrupt Xu Lang's thinking, listening to the continuous silence on the other end of the phone, he knew that Xu Lang was quickly digesting this information, and after a long time, Nameless asked, "Can you think of something wrong in the portrait?" I can't figure out where the discord is. ”
When Xu Lang heard this, he reorganized the portrait experience that Nameless said, and his unusual alertness made him immediately realize the problem, and immediately said: "If you think about it carefully, the 2nd floor is No. 1-20, but the 3rd floor starts from Huayu on the 22nd, is there a painting missing in the middle?" ”
The nameless point is clear, and he replied immediately: "Missing the portrait of No. 21?" ”
"That's right"
Nameless frowned and thought about the situation at the time, the lack of No. 21 was true, but even if he added it to his original position in his heart, the sense of disobedience in his heart never disappeared.
"No, even with the number 21, I still feel that something is wrong, it feels like a person has one eye missing from his face, which is very weird."
Xu Lang frowned and pushed his glasses: "Oh? Is that so...... Forget it, let's take a closer look tomorrow when we can go out during the day. ”
Then hung up the phone, Xu Lang sighed, there are more and more doubts now, the matter of the frame and the old man has not been figured out, and there are more portraits and pale men's problems.
How many people are still in this castle?
Xu Lang then informed Cheng Guoguo of these circumstances and wanted to ask him what he thought about his next move. But the phone couldn't get through for a long time, and he thought that it seemed that Cheng Guoguo had fallen asleep.
He didn't think about how big his heart was, but it showed that he had already shown his attitude: he braked quietly and waited for the dawn to see the old man's next move.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang sent a message to the other executors, "Think long-term and adapt", and then lay on the bed, began to sort out the clues in his head, and stopped acting.
Most of the executors who received the information were relieved, which meant that at least there would be no danger tonight, and they relaxed their tense nerves a little.
Despite this, except for Cheng Guoguo, no one will go to sleep with peace of mind, almost all of them have round eyes, for fear that something will happen.
However, there was only one person in the room who had an unexpected change, and she was Jiang Hui.
I saw that she still covered her head in the quilt, and she didn't even dare to change her pants when she got wet, and her lower body was wet along with the sheets.
She didn't know when her backpack was opened, and an open notebook was revealed, on which the word "Jiang Hui" was clearly written.
And when Jiang Hui was trembling in the quilt, a line of font suddenly appeared at the bottom of the empty frame above his head, as if it had been carved out of thin air, which was extremely abrupt.
"Forty-one, Jiang Hui, entered at 12:47 a.m. on May 1, 2016"
