Chapter 55: The Eerie Castle
I was stunned, and Shen Li hurriedly followed.
"Take off your night clothes! Remember! We are getting married, and we want to go into this manor to take wedding photos, but we are stopped by the doorman during the day, so I want to sneak into this manor at night! β
I was so confused that I wanted to take off my night suit, but at that moment, the voice of the doorman came from outside the car again, but it was not talking to the emaciated man in the cab, but it seemed to be returning to the intercom or something
"Understood, I'll lock the door right away."
After speaking, the doorman's voice turned towards the emaciated man in the cab.
"Brother Du, come in! Something happened! β
The emaciated man in the cab let out an "oh" and started the van to carry us on, apparently entering the manor gates.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but Shen Li beside me frowned.
"Something's wrong? Isn't the king of thieves referring to us? Someone else? β
"It doesn't matter who he is, anyway, our goal is to make Xu Qiucheng subjugate.
This is an extra 'king of thieves' to help us divert the attention of the manor security, which should be a good thing for us. β
I replied, and Shen Li also nodded.
In this way, we didn't think much about the 'king of thieves', until the emaciated man drove us for another two or three minutes, and then we opened our mouths again.
"Ready, I'll let you open the door, and you will open the door and jump down, remember, I don't know you, and you don't know me, you slipped in by the chaos."
Hearing this, Shen Li and I hurriedly moved the fruit and vegetable frames around us, ready to open the car door at any time.
Seconds later, the van slowed down, and the emaciated man in the cab said "It's here."
Without hesitation, we opened the doors of the vans in our respective directions and jumped out of the car together.
Rolling around, squatting down and looking around, I saw that we were in a dark alley.
The alley is not long, it is a passage between two low houses, but the air is filled with a smell of wine, it seems that the two low houses on the left and right are the wine cellars in this manor.
Looking at the end of the alley again, there was a wide manor road on one side, and a towering manor wall on the other, of course, he did not venture into the road, but went to the end of the alley with Shen Li, the towering wall.
Leaning against the wall at the end of the alley, I couldn't help but frown when I peeked out of the alley.
Because I found that there was no light in this manor in Xu Qiucheng......
Yes, there is no electric light in this manor in Xu Qiucheng, and it is black, as if there is no power system in this manor.
But in any case, even if it is completely designed according to the medieval manor, it is impossible not to install an electrical system in this era, right?
I didn't understand, Shen Li pointed to the left outside the alley, I looked down, and saw that the left side of the alley seemed to be a garden, and at the end of the garden was the ancient castle isolated in the hazy moonlight.
The castle also has no electric lighting, and with its medieval style, it can be described as eerie.
This can't help but make me think of all kinds of horror movies related to castles, such as vampires, Frankenstein, and werewolves.
Damn, the castle in this autumn city is not equipped with lighting facilities, it can't really be because there are creatures that can only exist in the dark......
There was some hair in my heart, but Shen Li patted me on the shoulder, and was the first to slip out of the blind alley, and entered the garden on the side of the alley.
I hurried to follow, and since the garden was inside the manor's walls, we had to be vigilant about the outside of the garden.
At this time, outside the garden, on the manor road under the faint moonlight, there was no figure, it seemed that the previous doorman said that something was wrong, and there was really a 'thief king' who broke in, so the security of the manor gathered to the place where the accident occurred.
This is of course an unexpected good thing for us.
In this way, the short body is speeding along the garden path, because it is shaded by the high wall, even if there is security on the outside path, it may not be visible.
It wasn't until we got closer and closer to the castle that at last, I could only catch a glimpse of the front of the castle with a lot of electric lights flickering, and it seemed that the security of the manor was gathered in front of the castle.
So, of course, we continued along the garden path hidden by the towering faΓ§ade and straight to the back of the castle.
It wasn't until we went out of the garden and into the back of the castle that for a moment I could only smell the strong smell of fertilizer in the air behind the castle.
Frowning and holding his breath, he found that at the back of the ancient castle, there was actually a field where all kinds of green vegetables were grown.
Damn, if you plant vegetables, you will grow vegetables, and if you apply so much fertilizer, you are not afraid of killing these vegetables?
Scolding secretly, Shen Li stretched out his hand and pointed to the back of the castle, I looked down, only to see that what she was pointing to was the corner of the second floor of the castle, where a stone platform was built, and in the stone platform, of course, was a stone room.
There was no light, it was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was going on in the room.
But we don't have time to waste, although at this time, the security of this castle is attracted by the 'king of thieves' who have broken in, but it is not clear that anyone else except the security will find us, so we must hurry.
There was no nonsense, Shen Li rushed to the second floor of the ancient castle under the stone platform, tied up a horse step against the stone wall of the ancient castle, and spread out the palms of both hands and placed them on his stable legs.
I knew her intentions, of course, and rushed over in a few steps, stepping on her hand on her lap and kicking it.
Shen Li stepped onto the stage with both hands at the same time, and I jumped to the stone platform on the second floor of the ancient castle, and my arms fell on the edge of the stone platform.
The whole person followed up to the stone platform, and after a brief glance, he saw that the stone house in the stone platform was pitch black, and there was no movement.
Hurriedly turned around and stretched out his hand towards Shen Li, who was still under the ancient castle.
Shen Li followed and retreated some distance, however, at the same time as she retreated, an electric light suddenly flashed on the left side below the ancient castle.
I was shocked, but Shen Li waved at me and slipped to the right under the castle without hesitation, in the direction of the garden where we came.
I gritted my teeth and walked into the stone house in the stone platform, leaning against the stone wall on one side of the stone house, and looking in the direction of the flashlight on the left below the castle.
Then, I only saw two men with flashlights, coming from the left side under the castle, and with the electric light in their hands, constantly illuminating the fields behind the castle, obviously the security members of the manor.
I frowned, just thinking about when these two security guards were not patrolling, and they had to come at this time, and Shengsheng separated me from Shen Li.
However, muttering in his heart, he found that the two security guards with flashlights looked a little wrong.
Because the two security guards with flashlights, although they were both equipped with electric batons, they were bent over and lowered their heads after entering the fields behind the ancient castle, looking cautious.
Even, when a bird flew in the field, the two security guards were shocked, as if the field behind the ancient castle was terrifying.
Of course something is wrong.
Xu Qiucheng, one of the richest people in our city, and the security team he hired must also be one of the best security teams in our city, and as a member of this top security team, how could he be so timid?
Or was there something wrong in the fields beneath the castle that caused the two security guards on patrol to be startled?
Of course, I had no clue, so I watched against the stone wall until the two guards below cowered through the fields and disappeared in the direction of the garden on the right side of the castle.
Relieved, he looked in the direction of the garden where the two security guards had disappeared, expecting Shen Li to appear, but no.
Shen Li didn't appear, it seemed that it was because the two security guards also entered the garden that Shen Li retreated to, so Shen Li didn't dare to move.
Of course, I was completely relieved about Shen Li's skills, so I didn't look any further, I just wanted to wait for Shen Li to avoid the two security guards, and he would naturally come back.
So, I turned around and looked at the stone house where I was.
There was no light, only the moonlight from outside the stone platform, which shone faintly in the center of the stone house, and the rest of the stone house that was not illuminated by the moonlight was pitch black.
Of course, it was pitch black, and the castle was full of stone buildings, and the wall tiles were not painted, even in broad daylight, as long as the light could not enter, it was all black.
Damn, Xu Qiucheng is so rich, but he built his mansion into this castle without lights, does he want to emulate various nobles in the Middle Ages, and want to be the king of the wind and rain in this manor?
Unable to figure it out, he took out his mobile phone and turned on the powerful flashlight, and shone into the darkness around the stone house.
It was all some dilapidated tables and chairs and all kinds of rusty equipment, and it seemed that this stone house was the utility room of the ancient castle.
After reading it, I wanted to look under the castle again to see if Shen Li had come back from avoiding the two security guards, but at this moment, I faintly heard a sound of footsteps......
Yes! A sound of footsteps! There was a sound coming from outside the wooden door in the stone chamber full of miscellaneous items, and it was obvious that someone was walking towards the utility room from outside.
gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, so he could only hide in the corner of the stone house, behind the pile of debris.
At the same time, with the sound of footsteps outside the wooden door of the stone house, a man's voice came in with a hint of doubt.
"Sister Rose, what are you bringing me here for?"
In the next moment, a woman's voice, with a hint of charm, also sounded outside the wooden door of the stone house, obviously answering the man's question.
"What to do? Of course it's to do what you want~~"
"Rose ...... Sister Rose, don't talk nonsense, I ......"
"Xiao Li, don't you know what your sister thinks about your sister?
The servants who have entered this castle are strictly forbidden to go out, how long have you been here? Two months? It's already suffocated~~"
The charming woman's voice echoed outside the wooden door of the stone house, and I also saw a fire in the gap under the wooden door of the stone house.
In the next moment, the wooden door of the stone house opened, and a graceful woman stepped in with the firelight......
