Recalling Susanna's inhuman state like a spider, Char couldn't help but shudder.

Char's impression of Ouyang was not good, but Susanna's weirdness made him believe Ouyang's words a little.

"Suzanne told you to escape from Fort William?" Ouyang sneered, "If you believe in the aliens and really escape from the ancient castle, then you will be dying." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Char asked.

"You're also a native of Hope City, haven't you heard the rumors of a 'machine skinner'?" Ouyang glanced at Char, a little surprised.

"It's... Haven't heard of it. Char whispered.

"Machine Skinner, a vicious crime that occurred in the lower cities of Hope City. The murderer is said to be a robot that has awakened its self-consciousness and has an unforgettable hatred for humans. It usually haunts late at night, attacking lone humans and skinning them. The federal government has invested a significant amount of police force in the investigation. But so far, nothing has been gained. I doubt it... Suzanne is the machine skinner. Kai'Sa was attacked by her and is dead. Hey, this is a poor little girl. ”

Ouyang said mysteriously.

Robots roaming in the middle of the night attack lone humans and skin them!

Such a terrifying rumor made Char feel creepy.

"Since you suspect that Suzanne is a machine skinner, why don't you tell Ender. Let him inform the police and investigate Susanna? Char felt a little strange.

"No kidding."

Ouyang shook his head and said, "Even if we catch Suzanne and bring her to justice, what good will it do us?" Once the police intervened, the training had to be interrupted. Our purpose is to evolve and become Sequence 1 readers. Don't miss the opportunity, lose it again! I don't want to struggle like a maggot in the mud of a lower city. I have to climb up, I have to soar, I have to make a lot of money, I have to change my family, I have to change my life! Mr. Ender said that if something happens to anyone again, he will have to stop this training! So, I have to warn you, be careful of Susanna, don't get caught up in her! If you are really in danger, remember to come to me. ”

Ouyang lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing a pistol.

The Federation does not ban guns. But Ouyang, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, carried a pistol with him, which was unusual.

Feeling Xia Ya's surprised gaze, Ouyang gently held the handle of the gun and said with a smile: "In this era, everyone must learn to protect themselves. Not only me, but several other male students also carried guns with them. This gun is not very powerful, and it is more than enough for self-preservation. ”

In the morning class, Char was in poor condition.

In his mind, the words of Suzanne and Ouyang kept circling.

He didn't know who to trust.

Is it Suzanne or Ouyang?

Is Suzanne really the "Machine Skinner", did she really kill Kaisha?

And why did Kai'Sa disappear inexplicably, and where is she now? Is she really dead?

All day, Char spent the whole day in a state of confusion.

In the test in the evening, Char did not play well, and was surpassed by Ouyang, only winning second place, missing out on a dream potion.

Ouyang was very excited, walked past Char triumphantly with his head held high, and turned his head back to look at him meaningfully.

Without the Dream Elixir, Char couldn't sleep at night, so she could only beat her spirits and survive the long night.

This frustrated Char.

After dinner, Char went downstairs for a walk, and only then did her mood improve slightly, and she walked up the spiral staircase alone, ready to go back to her room on the second floor to rest.

"Woooooo

On the spiral staircase, Char's ears suddenly heard the girl's cry.

"Kaisha's voice?"

Char was shocked, and quickly pricked up his ears to identify the source of the cry.

The cry was very close, and it seemed to be right next to Char.

The cry was far away, as if from another world.

"Kaisha, where are you?"

Char shouted, his voice echoing through the spiral staircase, and no one answered except for the girl's increasingly clear cries.

Char ran up the stairs, the cry in his ears getting closer, and finally he stopped in front of an oil painting.

On the walls of the spiral staircase, there are many oil paintings, portraits of people with gloomy faces.

However, Char saw Kai'Sa in an oil painting!

A blonde girl with freckles on her face hid her face and wept bitterly in an oil painting.

The background of the painting is Kaisha's room, but the walls are red, as if covered in blood.

"Kaisha, is that you, Kaisha?"

Char stood in front of the oil painting, staring at the girl in the painting, her brain in a mess.

Reason tells Char that it is impossible for Kai'Sa to be trapped in the painting.

It's not scientific.

And Char's memory tells him that there is absolutely no portrait of Kai'Sa in the oil painting on the spiral staircase.

This oil painting of Kai'Sa came out of nowhere.

Kaisha seemed to hear Char's voice, slowly raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, and she sobbed: "Char, escape!" Get out of this place! Otherwise, you will die, you will all die! Run! Run! ”

In the painting, Kaisha's figure slowly fades, like a blurred oil paint, and finally disappears completely, leaving only a large stain.

Char looked at the empty frame, the girl's figure was no longer there, but her voice echoed in his mind: "Run!" Run! Char! ”

Char lost his soul like a walking corpse, returned to his room, and lay in bed for half an hour before he calmed down, became conscious again, and his brain was active.

"What's wrong with me? The after-effects of AND made me hallucinate? Why do I see Kai'Sa in the painting? Was it a dream? ”

Char holds his head in his hands and clutches at his messy hair, suspecting that some part of his brain has been damaged by drugs and sees hallucinations.

"However, I haven't had a headache since yesterday. It should be the dream potion and high-intensity memory that have an effect, activating genes and curbing gene disintegration. Char calmed down and smoothed out what had happened in the past few days from beginning to end.

The ability to remember seems to be a chicken rib, but it has played an unimaginable role at this time.

Char has experienced something that every detail of the memory is very clear, like a movie replay, you can slow down and observe everyone's expressions and movements in slow motion.

"There are only two possibilities!" Char carefully analyzed and came to a conclusion.

"One possibility is that Suzanne has a problem. The other, there is this Castle Wilhelm, which has its own problems. Ender said that William, the wealthy man who built Fort William, was extremely obsessed with the Second Age. The Second Age was the age of witchcraft and magic. Maybe... William used to study black witchcraft in the castle. ”

Char thought witchcraft and magic were ridiculous, but so far, he could only make such speculations.

"Let's check the rich William first." Char opened the holographic bracelet and typed a keyword into a search engine to find information about William.

"No such person?"

Char looked at the empty web page, his face pale.
