Chapter 57: The spiral staircase

Firming up my thoughts, I also groped for the wooden door of the stone house in the dark.

poked his head out and took a look, only to see a dark stone corridor outside the wooden door of the stone house, and in the depths to the left of the stone corridor, there was a figure with a hazy outline, which should be a rose pushing a cart.

Secretly remembering the direction, he entered the dark stone corridor, pasted the stone wall on one side of the stone corridor, and walked towards the outline of the roses on the cart.

Completely pressed his steps, trying not to make the slightest sound, and did not rush to catch up, so he always maintained a distance from the silhouette of the figure of the rose.

It's just that I don't understand why this rose was clearly screwed into the stone house with a bronze kerosene lamp, but why the kerosene lamp was extinguished when it came out of the stone house.

In such a dark castle, there is no light, can this rose figure out the direction?

Or is there no light where she is going?

The suppressed hair in my heart, the outline of the rose in front of my line of sight changed, and it rose up little by little, strangely, and disappeared from my sight after a while.

What's going on?

With wide eyes, he quickened his pace until he walked against the stone wall to the direction where the rose disappeared, and then he found that the direction where the rose disappeared had passed through the stone corridor, and in the darkness, a swirling upward silhouette also appeared.

is a spiral staircase, and the rose ......

I poked my head out and looked through the gap in the middle of the spiral staircase to the top of the spiral staircase, and sure enough, in the darkness of the staircase one level above, there was the silhouette of a rose still pushing a cart.

Without hesitation, he also stepped on the revolving staircase, and followed the outline of the rose against the stone wall on one side of the revolving staircase.

It's just that I can't help but wonder in my heart, the yin qi and whimpering sound of this ancient castle are all from below, but this rose pushes the cart all the way up, doesn't she know Xu Qiucheng's secret, but simply because Xiao Li read her diary, she wants to deal with Xiao Li?

I couldn't figure it out, and I didn't stop, so I stuck to the spiral stone wall in the dark, all the way to the outline of the rose on the upper floor of the staircase.

Layer after layer, as if there is no whirlpool at the end of the head.

I don't know how long I followed it until I kept the silhouette of a rose one story away and suddenly stopped in the spiral staircase above me.

Yes, it stopped in the spiral staircase one level above me, without going any further, without the slightest retreat.

Of course, I stopped in the same way, and stuck to the stone wall inside the spiral staircase.

The atmosphere fell into an eerie stalemate for a moment.

I stared at the outline of the previous layer of roses, and kept thinking to myself, did I make a mistake somewhere, showing my horse's feet?

But no......

The sound of my footsteps kept pressing, and I kept walking against the stone wall.

In the darkness where you can't see your fingers, as long as you don't keep staring at the target, you can't see anything wrong around you.

Just like me, if I hadn't been staring at the outline of the rose, I wouldn't have seen anything unusual in the darkness.

And Rose kept pushing the cart, and it was impossible to notice me in the darkness behind me.

So, what is it about this rose that stops?

I couldn't figure it out, so I just stared at the outline of the previous layer of roses, not daring to move at all.

Controlled his breathing without making a sound.

Dark, claustrophobic, oppressive......

Until ten minutes passed, the outline of the previous layer of roses still did not move, and I gradually became a little unbearable in this strange atmosphere.

Taking a deep breath, I thought that the rose didn't necessarily notice me and stopped, maybe she had bumped into something in the spiral staircase on the previous floor.

So, what did she bump into in the upper spiral staircase?

frowned tightly, held the motor pen tightly in the palm of his hand, and then didn't wait any longer, leaning against the stone wall, and walked towards the upper spiral staircase step by step.

I was completely pressed on my feet, without making a single noise, until I entered the spiral staircase where the rose silhouette was.

He paused again, glancing at the silhouette of a rose in the darkness in front of the spiral staircase.

And because of my proximity, what I could see vaguely in my vision was no longer just the silhouette of Rose's figure, but also the outline of the cart she was pushing in front of her.

This shows that there is no mistake, this silhouette is Rose herself, and she is also motionless in the posture of pushing the cart.

It's just, why did she stop all of a sudden?

I didn't have a clue at all, and I approached step by step against the stone wall, and with my approach, on the outline of the cart in front of the rose silhouette, the paralyzed silhouette of Xiao Li also appeared.

After a few more steps, I didn't see anything else in front of the outline of the cart.

This shows that the rose didn't stop because it bumped into something else.

So what exactly is she stopping for?

For a while, my heart was flooded with the famous Sherlock Holmes quote that Shen Li said.

Excluding all the impossibilities, even if the rest is unbelievable, it must be the truth......

Then, excluding the possibility that the rose stopped when it encountered something, there is only one truth left.

This rose ...... Found me......

I felt a thump in my heart, and I froze in place and didn't dare to move again.

Because of my approach, Rose pushed the silhouette of the cart, and visually it was within eight meters of me, a distance that was already an instant if anything happened.

I don't want to be like Xiao Li and slumped on this rose cart.

His eyes widened, and he stood in place against the stone wall, vigilant of the rose's every move.

It wasn't until another ten minutes passed that the outline of the roses in front of me finally moved.

Not forward, not backward, but a snoring sound......

Grass...... The rose stopped in front of me because she was asleep pushing the cart......

For a while, I just wanted to greet her eighteenth generation ancestors.

However, how can a person, after falling asleep, still maintain the position of pushing a cart and remain motionless?

I frowned, and walked closer to the outline of the roses again.

She didn't move until she came within five meters of the rose's silhouette, and I let my guard down.

Because she also has her back to me, as long as there is any abnormal movement, I must react faster than her.

So I continued to get closer, and as I got closer, I gradually saw the state of the roses in the darkness.

Of course, the first thing to see is the legs of the rose sticking out of the high-slit cheongsam.

There was nothing out of the ordinary, and Rose's feet stretched out from the high-slit cheongsam, standing tightly together...... Wait a minute!

Suddenly, my eyes widened, not because of the movement of the rose in front of me, but because I saw the legs and knees of the rose...... It's coming towards me!

I shuddered, and then I looked down at Rose's knees, and my heart trembled again, because I saw Rose's feet on tiptoe......

Yes, Rose's toes, like her knees, are facing me, which shows that Rose is pushing the cart with her back......

In other words, I always thought that I was following her along the way, but in fact, she turned around and stretched her arms behind her to push the cart, which means that she was actually facing me and pushing the cart with a backward step!

Thinking about it this way, if she only needs to pay attention, she will definitely be able to see the silhouette of me following her!

This rose ...... Discovered me a long time ago!

I was startled in my heart, the snoring of the roses stopped abruptly at the same time, and I looked up, and a face with staring pupils and hideous and distorted eyes had already pasted from the darkness in front of me, of course, roses!

I retreated behind me in shock, but I didn't step on it steadily, and fell directly on the stairs behind me.

The constant tumbling, the sharp pain that smashed all over the stairs, and when I held my hands to stop, and when I looked up again, I saw the outline of the rose, and let out a "giggle" smirk, as I rushed towards the top of the spiral staircase.

Yes! She's running! Push the cart with your backhand and run backwards in the spinning staircase!

I didn't even have to look at it to imagine the eerie image, until the sinister laughter of the roses came to an abrupt halt and disappeared into the darkness above the spiral staircase.

Because of this, I can no longer glimpse the outline of the rose from the darkness of the spiral staircase.

Everything was quiet, and everywhere on the stairs, there was only black that could not be seen.

I took a deep breath and suppressed the horror in my heart, and then I realized that I had been exposed in front of the roses......

No matter why she chose to leave instead of attacking me, no matter if my night suit can completely protect my appearance, whether she sees me clearly or not, all I have to do now is to leave this manor as soon as possible!

Just like Shen Li said, once I am caught, it will be a burglary!

Without further thought, he got up and turned around, touched one side of the stone wall, and ran wildly towards the bottom of the spiral staircase.

One, two, three laps, I just wanted to get out of the manor as soon as possible.

However, with my wild running, my heart gradually cooled.

For I had already run down the stone wall of the spiral staircase for nearly twenty laps, but I had not yet returned to the stone corridor on the second floor of the castle...... Wait a minute!

This is the spiral staircase of the castle, and I followed the roses next to the stone wall of this staircase.

So why, I followed the rose up for so long, and I didn't encounter the stone corridor entrance on other floors?

Not bad!

The revolving staircase of this castle is of course the equivalent of a stairwell in a modern building.

But I've been walking up the wall of this stairwell for so long, but how can I not come across the entrance to the corridor on the other floor?

It's like...... It's as if this spiral staircase exists alone, and it doesn't connect the other floors of the castle at all, and at this time, I can't even find the stone corridor on the second floor of the castle when I went up the stairs!

Yes! I've been running down for so long, but I haven't found the second stone gallery of the castle when I came up, as if the stone gallery had disappeared, leaving only this endless spiral staircase......

The closed and oppressive space, the pitch black that you can't see your fingers, and the "gurgling" laughter when the rose left just now echoes in my mind.

In such a situation, the unknown in my heart naturally turned into fear.

I ran down the spiral stairs as if something was chasing me, and if I did, I would die!
