151. Banquet
After a while, it was finally Chu Ci's turn. He looked at the figure of Bian Li who was gradually disappearing, and the obsession in his eyes dissipated a little, but before he could completely come back to his senses, one of the guards said respectfully: "Please wait a minute, we need to check your identity." ”
Chu Ci paused for a moment, looking at the guard's outstretched hand, the obsession in his eyes resurfaced, and it was deeper than before.
Chu Ci couldn't wait to enter the castle, but the guards who stopped him in front made him have to temporarily put aside his eagerness, looking at him suspiciously, not knowing how to prove his identity.
The guard smiled, "You just have to stand still for a moment." ”
Chu Ci nodded, and then stood obediently in place, waiting for him to check his identity.
The guard returned to his original position, and then Chu Ci saw that his eyes suddenly turned turquoise, and a trace of confusion flashed when he saw him, and then that confusion was instantly replaced by teasing.
The guard said gently, "'Red' leader, please come in." ”
Chu Ci nodded, didn't even say thank you, and rushed directly into the castle.
As soon as he entered the castle gate, he felt some changes in the mask on his face and the clothes on his body, and from the mirror in the hall, the clothes were transformed into medieval aristocratic costumes, and the silver mask had some intricate patterns, which shimmered in the light. Chu Ci scratched his head, he always felt that this pattern was a little familiar, but he couldn't think of where he had seen it.
He looked up at the other people's masks and saw that there were only three colors, yellow, green, and red, and his own silver was very abrupt among these three colors.
Chu Ci was at a loss, feeling the gaze of others, and immediately hid in the shadows, unwilling to be the focus, but he didn't know that when he was shrouded in darkness, the patterns on the mask gradually changed from silver to demonic blood, which was extremely charming.
Chu Ci stood in place, not daring to move, he thought that no one would notice him if he fell into darkness, and Bian Li, since he entered, he couldn't find that figure, obviously it was the same conspicuous hair color as him, but he just didn't see him for some reason.
"Hello."
A noble lady with a yellow mask walked up with a gorgeous skirt and said shyly.
Chu Ci frowned, and was about to refuse, when he saw a waitress with whiskey coming next to him, and said respectfully to him: "My lord, do you want a drink?" ”
Chu Ci nodded, took a glass of wine, and then remembered the young lady in front of him, and asked politely, "Are you either?" ”
The young lady was embarrassed to refuse and took another glass of wine.
"That ......" Miss was slightly red, staring at Chu Ci's mask shyly, "I'm 'yellow', can I know you?" ”
Chu Ci smiled and was silent, only waiting for the young lady's heart to be too dry to do it before he said gently and elegantly: "Of course, beautiful young lady." I'm 'Red' and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
As he spoke, he took one of Miss's hands and gently covered it with a kiss.
The young lady's face turned even redder, and when the people who were secretly watching around saw this, a look of jealousy and envy appeared on their faces, and the young lady felt it, and a moment of pride appeared in her eyes.
When Chu Ci raised his head, everything was returned to the original point, and there was no flaw.
"Dear Miss, can I have the privilege of knowing your name?" Chu Ci said softly.
The young lady paused, opened her mouth to speak, but stopped talking. She looked at Chu Ci with a hint of confusion, looked at Chu Ci suspiciously, and said tremblingly: "I, I don't remember who I am......"
Chu Ci saw that she was getting more and more flustered, and even when this emotion began to infect the people around her, he smiled slightly, pressed the woman's head, patted it gently, and then leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Don't be nervous, if you can't remember, you can't remember, we're here for a banquet, aren't we?" ”
The young lady was quiet for a moment, and a look of obsession appeared in the depths of her eyes, and she murmured: "Yes, to the banquet, the banquet, the banquet ......"
Chu Ci patted her on the back and nudged her forward, and the man walked forward into the crowd.
After seeing that her figure was completely engulfed by the crowd, Chu Ci pursed his lips and felt that this place was very strange. He looked up, and then he saw that everyone's eyes were on him, and there were signs of rushing towards him, as if he was a white rabbit who had strayed into a snake cave.
He frowned, very dissatisfied with his current situation, but when he entered, he found that the entrance was only allowed to enter and not exit, and there was no room for negotiation at all.
Chu Ci looked at the people who still came in one after another, and lowered his eyes in contemplation. Obviously, he was in the same state as the other people who came here before he came in, but after the mask changed, he found that most of the obsession in his mind had disappeared, and although there were still some of them, it was not enough to have a huge impact on him, at least he remembered his name......
"My lord, can we make friends?"
A man in a green mask walked in the distance and said respectfully.
Chu frowned, but he didn't refuse, just looked at him indifferently.
The man smiled, stared at his mask, and smiled, "Your mask is so special. Are you the host of this banquet? ”
Chu Ci was puzzled, raised his wine glass, and took another sip of wine: "Why do you think so?" ”
The man likewise raised his glass: "Because you are unique, and not only that, but you are unusually attractive and attract the whole banquet." ”
Chu Ci lowered his eyes: "I see." ”
The man sneered, and seeing that Chu Ci had no desire to talk anymore, he withdrew with his wine glass.
Chu Ci was silent, scanned the hall, and found a sofa in the corner of the upper left corner, so he walked slowly.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were fixed on Chu Ci, observing his every move, and after seeing the trajectory of his walking, everyone intentionally or unintentionally avoided the path he had to take, so that he could reach his destination safely.
After a while, Chu Ci walked to the sofa with a wine glass. He paused, then placed his half-drunk glass on the table on the left side of the couch, and sat down on the couch, quietly watching everything in the hall.
"Aren't you going to join them?"
Chu Ci raised his head suddenly, he didn't even notice this person's approach!
His eyes narrowed slightly, observing this person against the light, his temperament was very strong, and the mask on his face was exactly the same as his, but when he fell into darkness, those patterns were not the same as his, they would turn blood, but turquoise, and with these emerald eyes, they were pure and bewitching.
Chu Ci frowned and smiled vigilantly: "Why don't you join?" ”
The man chuckled: "I didn't want to play if I didn't meet someone I liked before, but now~" He said, looking at Chu Ci, it was self-evident.
Chu Ci frowned and was silent.
"Is that okay?" The man held out a hand, hopeful and graceful.
Chu Ci pursed his lips, unable to tell if he was joking for a while.
The man smiled and said nothing, just holding his motions and waiting for his answer.
Chu Ci frowned, embarrassed to let him continue to block here, and didn't want others to pay attention to him anymore, so he stretched out his hand and held the man.
The corners of the man's mouth were slightly hooked, and his pure and evil eyes swept over the hall, and everyone in the hall was suddenly shocked, and they no longer looked here, as if they did not exist.
Chu Ci condensed in his heart, feeling that this man was very terrifying and an object that he couldn't approach, but now it was too late to retract his movements, so he could only get up under the strength of the man and enter the dance party with him.
The man put his arms around his slender waist and said, "Do you know how charming you are?" From the moment I entered the hall, I was the only one left in my eyes, and I couldn't stand the sight of others. ”
Chu Ci's scalp was numb, because at the same time as the man spoke, a powerful coercion emanated out, and the whole banquet stiffened a lot in an instant, and people didn't even dare to move drastically.
"Yes, yes...... Chu Ci was full of black lines, but fortunately it was covered by a mask, "I still have such a great charm." ”
The man smiled, raised his hand and touched his head, Chu Ci trembled, and the tiger's ears came out unconsciously.
The man chuckled: "Sure enough, it's safer for children, this looks like it's leading people to commit crimes~"
Chu Ci's smile stiffened, and he really couldn't pretend to be friendly.
"It's okay, everyone who came here tonight will be gone, and it doesn't matter if you're seen." The man didn't care that he had denied the existence of so many people in an instant, "Here's the cake I prepared for you, do you want to eat it?" Or do you prefer to eat fish? ”
"......" Chu Ci choked up, not knowing how to answer for a while.
At this moment, the man suddenly pressed Chu Ci's head to his chest. Chu Ci was shocked and struggled hard, and when he broke free, he found that they had come to the second floor of the castle, and the second floor was wrapped by an unknown force, so that the people in the hall could not see the scene on the second floor, but the people on the second floor could see every move in the hall clearly.
The man let go of Chu Ci and said elegantly, "Please take a seat." ”
Chu Ci lowered his head, and then saw that there was an extra table in front of him and the man, and there were candles and food on the table. The man smiled, sat down in his chair first, and then looked down the hall, the corners of his mouth curled in a playful arc.
Chu Ci couldn't help but look over, and then saw a familiar figure.
His pupils shrank, and he said in disbelief, "How could they be here?!" ”
The man smiled: "Maybe I'm worried about you." ”
"But ......" Chu Ci's mouth opened and opened, and he never knew what to say.
The man propped his hand on his chin, shook the red wine with the other hand, and said leisurely: "Really don't sit?" This castle has its doors open for you, and I can make it happen for you if you want to. ”
Chu Ci frowned, and after looking at those familiar figures, he still pulled out a chair and sat down. The man smiled, picked the fish on the plate in front of him and put it in front of Chu Ci, and said gently: "Eat, I'll show you a good show later." As soon as you're done, I'll let them go. ”
Chu Ci pursed his lips, and after looking at him for a long time, he lowered his eyes and said, "What conditions do you want?" ”
The man paused, the whole person fell into a sense of loss, and he was a little sullen: "Why do you think so?" I said, as long as you want, I will fulfill it for you, at no cost, not even if it is a vow that I say personally...... You can also not count~"
Chu Ci raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he smiled: "Okay~"
