The suburbs where the castle is located are very remote, and Ma Haohao is a road idiot, so he can only pin his hopes on the heroine Vera.

She didn't want them to be the first to reach their destination, nor did she want them to reach their destination last.

The vice president is really a person who keeps pace with the times, and he actually started the routine of modern variety shows and wants to play the game of choosing a room. It is conceivable that if they arrived at the castle at the latest, the room left for them would definitely be the most dilapidated and terrible.

Ma's good thinking couldn't help but run away, and he scared himself out of a sweat.

The flashlight flashes faintly, illuminating a safe area in the lush grass of the suburbs.

It was very quiet, and there was not a trace of crickets and insects chirping on a summer night, only the cool breeze that did not match the temperature drove the hem of the T-shirt.

Vera tucked her flashlight between her shoulder and the side of her face, studying the scribbled map provided by the vice president in the dim light.

She cursed under her breath, looking like she wanted to crumple the map and throw it on the ground. It had taken them nearly an hour since they left the club's meeting room, and they had not yet arrived at the designated place.

According to the time indicated on the map, an hour away, they should have seen the iron barricade of the castle.

Obviously, everything is a sign that they are lost.

Ma glanced at the map, and immediately looked away with a wrinkled nose.

Well, even if it's a heroine who is "smart and calm", such a map is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"Vera, why don't you ...... Shall we go back the way we came? Ma Hao suggested from the bottom of his heart.

It's best to bring the other members back, entering the castle will only be a tragedy in the end, as long as everyone goes home now, the tragedy will not happen.

"Nope." Vera shook her head without thinking, "We've spent an hour, are we going to make this hour of hard work useless?" ”

Ma Hao said: "But if you continue, it may become two hours of useless work." ”

"My dear Rey, you should trust your friend."

Vera took the flashlight off her shoulder, patted Ma on the back, and said confidently, "I'm not going to let us spend the next hour on this damn map." ”

She put away the map in her hand, folded it into a boxy square, and put it back in her backpack, "Let's go, I believe my judgment is at least better than Rob's map." ”

Ma Hao couldn't convince the heroine who was bent on exploring first, she should have known Vera's unyielding character, and the more challenging things were, the more competitive she could be stimulated.

How should she complete this mission?

……

The two of them walked in the darkness by the light of their flashlights, and the weeds at their feet had not been cleared for a long time, and they grew wildly in the uncontrolled wilderness.

Ma Hao could feel them approaching the castle step by step, but the more she got to this moment, the more she looked like a frightened bird. The mere sound of her pants rubbing against the weeds could lift a suspicious, hanging heart to her throat.

"Rey! You see! Vera's exclamation made Ma shiver, and she quickly stabilized her mind and looked in the direction of her flashlight.

- Rusty barbed wire.

Appropriately, it was a large piece of rusty barbed wire, wrapped around the walls of the castle, like a huge iron cage that imprisoned the monsters in the castle.

But this cage, which should have been strong, has gradually decayed under the ravages of wind and rain. The mottled rust, twisted wire, and open gates of the fence all indicate that the monsters have long since escaped the confines of their cages, and are waiting for dinner with their teeth and claws.

Vera's lights were moving, moving from the ruined iron fence to the ground not far away.

There was a motionless sign with the words "No Entry" written in red paint.

I just don't know why this warning sign fell in the hidden grass? It had been in this place for a short time, and weeds had grown out of it from underneath.

Ma Hao Hao didn't know if it was blown down by the wind or if it was thrown here artificially, but this "no entry" sign undoubtedly made her heart beat a little faster.

Vera's light didn't stay on the warning sign for long, she only glanced at it faintly, and then walked towards the gate of the castle. It was clear that her curiosity had been struck again.

Humans are such strange creatures that they know they can't do it. When someone repeatedly stresses "don't do" and "don't touch", it will make others want to give it a try.

Ma Hao could guess Vera's thoughts now, and since she wrote "forbidden to enter", she wanted to see what she couldn't see inside.

Ma Hao followed Vera's footsteps closely, and subconsciously grabbed her arm.

The iron gates of the castle walls were wide open, and there were sporadic fires inside the castle, and it seemed that they were not the first to reach here.

Ma Hao calmed down a little and knocked on the door of the castle after Vera.

"Knock-"

"Knock-"

The knock at the door echoed in the open field, like the footsteps of a monster ringing in Mahao's ears.

After a few knocks, the door was opened from the inside.

Several boys in the club stood on the inside of the gate, and the vice president saw Vera come up to her and talk to her: "Dear ladies, you are late. The time waiting for you guys is too boring, and we've already played a round of the game. ”

Ma Hao saw Vera frown, and didn't seem to like the vice president's frivolous tone, but more because they were the last team to reach the castle.

There are not many members of the Paranormal Research Society, counting the three newcomers in this year's session, there are only eight people in total.

The president and vice president are third-year students.,The male protagonist and the female protagonist and Ma Haohao are freshmen in the freshman year.,The remaining three people, a woman and two boys, are in the second grade.。

Except for the vice president and two boys, who had come to open the door, the others were sitting at the dining table in the living room of the castle, lighting candles from nowhere, and holding a few playing cards in their hands.

"What game did you play?" Vera asked, "Catch the ghost card?" ”

The vice president said, "It's not just the ghost card, we're deciding the room number. There are many rooms in this castle, one for each person, and whoever gets the most points will be given priority. We've tried it out for a round and we're waiting for you. ”

"Didn't you say that the order of arrival was determined by the time of arrival?"

Vera didn't understand why the rules had suddenly changed, although it was a good thing for them.

"That's for our president."

The vice president closed the door of the castle and sat down on the corner of the table, "However, don't you think it's more fun to play ghost cards in a haunted house than the original rules?" ”
