Rob is dead.

His pupils stared blankly at the hallway, his mouth open in a screaming position, as if he wanted to scold Eric for knocking him down the stairs, and as if he was silently crying for help.

Blood seeped through the back of his head, blending with the red liquid dripping from his armor.

Rob...... Didn't he run away, Rob?! ”

Eric propped his hands behind his back and subconsciously retreated to the wall, "It's not me, it's not me who killed him!" ”

Vera hurried down the stairs to examine Rob's fatal wounds.

She had only taken a few steps closer when she saw Robb's gaping mouth with a missing tongue in it.

It's the tongue cut in a glass bottle.

It turned out that its owner was Rob.

"......" Vera clenched her fists and took a long time to calm her nerves.

She shouted to the three who were still stunned at the top of the stairs, "Can someone help remove Rob's armor, I need to examine his body." ”

Augs immediately ran down the steps to help, but Ma Hao Hao was thinking about what was not reasonable.

According to Vera's reasoning, the ghost's behavior was related to the supernatural book in the study. Ghost killings are done by collecting human body parts to be used as sacrifices to summon the dead.

This reasoning is indeed reasonable now, but it is completely different from the plot of "Supernatural Research Society".

In the book, there is no mention of "summoning magic". Besides, the ghost itself is a dead thing, so why should he summon the dead again?

In the time that Ma was thinking about it, Augs had already started to disassemble the armor on Rob's body.

The armor looked heavy and even more difficult to remove.

Augs tried two or three times, but failed to get it off Rob's body. Or rather, he couldn't figure out where to start disassembling the armor.

Vera didn't notice it at first, and after several failures in a row, Augs realized that the armor was strangely constructed. On the far right side of the waist there is a small hole in the shape of a keyhole.

"Augs, don't disassemble it yet."

Vera stopped Augs, pointed to the small hole in the armor and said, "You guys come to see what this is, does it look like a keyhole?" ”

Ma took a good look, and the small hole was indeed very similar to the shape of the key.

And on the right side of the arms and legs of the armor, there are also such small holes.

Could it be that there is a lock in this armor, and you need a key to disassemble the armor?

Vera took out the keys in her pocket, the bunch of keys she found in the maid's room, and a few locks that she hadn't found.

If she guessed correctly, the remaining handfuls were used to open the armor.

Vera's guess was correct, and she slipped one of the keys into the keyhole, and the armor that was tightly wrapped around her chest and abdomen opened.

Having found a way to disassemble it, the heavy lifting fell to Augs.

This time, he easily removed the armor from Robb, but the disassembly was too large, bringing a slight stream of blood to splash on the clothes of several people.

Vera's words of praise for Augs got stuck in her throat, and she stared at the armor he had picked up, speechless.

Augs felt the change in the atmosphere and asked keenly, "How...... What's wrong? ”

He still held the disassembled cuirass in his hand, and he had an expression that he had done something wrong and didn't know what he had done wrong. He looked at Vera's face hesitantly, wanting to put down the weight in his hand.

"Don't move." Vera said.

Augs's back straightened all of a sudden, and he held his armor motionless.

Ma Haohao: "......"

She really didn't want to eat dog food on a horror set......

"You hold on to the edge of the armor, don't touch anything else, and tip it over on the ground." Vera commanded.

Augs didn't know what to do, but he did it anyway.

After turning the armor over and putting it down, he saw what was inside, and he immediately understood Vera's intentions.

The inside of this armor is not a sleek plane, but iron thorns the thickness of fingers!

These iron spikes were inserted into Robb's flesh, but they were suddenly pulled out by Augs, and only then did they spill blood from Rob's chest and abdomen.

Augs shuddered, unable to bear to look at the bloody hole in Rob's chest.

Pierced in the bones by such iron thorns, how did he survive until now?

"Rob keeps knocking on the door, is he just trying for us to save him?" "If we had found out earlier, he wouldn't have died......"

Oh, yes.

The knight who persistently knocked on the door did not mean to scare them, nor did he keep the secret of an invisible person in the study.

It's sending them a distress signal.

Rob didn't escape from the castle at all, and the ghosts wouldn't let them escape his grasp.

Vera sat limply on the ground, looking at Rob's corpse in a trance.

These few days in the castle belong to them and the ghost. She thought she was extremely smart and would not let the ghost have any more opportunities, but she was ruthlessly put on the spot by reality.

This ghost is too cunning and too scheming. Ta must have absolute confidence in himself, so he set up such a maze and deliberately played a game with them.

The first time Rob was caught, the ghost had enough power to kill it, but only cut off Rob's tongue, and even made the "knight" appear in front of their eyes.

What does he want to do?

Are they sure that they can't find out the true identity of the "knight", or do they have the audacity to give them a dismount?

Whatever his purpose in doing this, this time, in this matchup, they lost.

Rob wasn't killed by a ghost.

It was their incompetence and cowardice that deprived Rob of his life every minute and second, losing his life to the Grim Reaper.

Vera felt a pang of frustration.

At this moment, looking at Rob's corpse gave her the illusion that she would never escape the control of the ghost.

"What is this?"

Before she was completely sunk by the shadow of defeat, Ma's voice burst into Vera's ears, knocking out the vines that were haunting her heart.

Ma picked up the helmet that had fallen to the side, and dropped a strange part from the helmet, with a clear liquid still stuck to it.

"Vera, do you know what this part does?" Ma Hao put the part on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and smelled a sour smell of saliva, "It's full of saliva." ”

Vera stood up and took the part from Mahao's hand.

Ma Hao felt that there seemed to be more light in her eyes, like a lost traveler who had cleared the fog and overcome obstacles with the determination to break the boat.

Vera pinched the part in her hand, didn't know what came to mind, and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Both Ma Hao Hao and Augs were frightened by her actions, and before they could stop it, they heard a familiar laugh coming from Vera's mouth.

"Hee ......"

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The knight's weird laughter actually came from here!
