192: Knock on the door
It was already completely dark, and it was too dangerous to remain in this strange bedroom.
Augs's stomach growled with hunger, and he reminded everyone that it was time for dinner, and the group had to withdraw from the room and return to the study where they had been encamped the previous night.
Lilith's bedroom should have left a lot of information.
However, the night was dark, and everyone did not dare to stay long, and Vera hurried around the room, not taking anything from the bedroom.
Camilla's death is still fresh in people's minds, and if she takes the things in the room at will, she is afraid that she will be retaliated by the ghost.
Yes, Vera now has to believe in the existence of ghosts.
Even though the word "ghost" was just said to appease Eric at first, the neat bedroom, the bones lying on the bed, and the president who had mysteriously disappeared in the utility room, were seen...... She didn't want to believe it, and she couldn't believe it.
Augs was dizzy from hunger, and when he got to the study, he took out a pile of bread from his bulging backpack and ate five or six in one sitting.
A whole day's mental work was too strenuous for him, and his body's energy was consumed faster than he had done heavy work.
It's just that food is limited after all, and they don't know how many days they will be trapped, and according to his way of eating, it is estimated that they will soon face a food crisis.
"Rice bucket." Eric didn't look down on a stupid big guy like Augus, so he scolded and sat himself aside.
Augs was also a little embarrassed by him, touched his unfed stomach, and still put the backpack away.
It's just that he really doesn't know how to act, hunger is revealed from his eyes, staring directly at the few people who are still eating, and bluntly expressing the resentment of "I'm so hungry, I want to eat".
Seeing this, Vera couldn't bear to be hungry, so she took another loaf of bread from her backpack and handed it over, telling him to "chew it slowly", so that it would be easier to eat enough.
Ma Hao had no appetite, so he barely ate half of the bread and broke half of it for Augs, so that he could survive his hunger.
She had also experienced the feeling of being hungry.
People are iron and steel, and not letting a foodie eat enough is simply stifling human nature.
After nibbling on the bread, there was only silence in the study, and the sound of everyone burying their heads in the sleeping bags.
The experience of this day can be regarded as exhausting, but lying in the sleeping bag, everyone is looking at the ceiling in a daze with their eyes open.
After a series of bizarre events, even the big-hearted Augs finally lost sleep.
The night at the castle was as quiet as ever, and there was no sound of insects and frogs outside, nor the sound of the breeze beating against the windows.
Ma Hao opened his eyes well, and his heart hung over his heart. It seems that at night, her heart beats very fast, and the dark night of the castle makes her seriously insecure, and the psychological reaction directly affects the physiology.
The rest of the members didn't fall asleep either, they were waiting for the ghost to appear, waiting for the sound of the same voice as last night outside the door.
The skeleton that had been brought up from the basement was later put back in the master bedroom.
Since it is guessed that the identity of the corpse is the hostess, although she has not yet figured out what her obsession is, she can't let her fall in Lilith's bedroom like this, maybe put her back in the original room, her resentment can be reduced a little?
There was a glimmer of expectation in everyone's hearts, for the sake of their kindness to the corpse, that ghost might be able to let them live, right?
The castle was quiet in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, I heard the sound of "clang" again.
But the sound was different from the night before.
Last night's sound was the sound of the knight's spear pulling on the floor, but tonight's was the sound of footsteps, like a heavy object in armor, patrolling back and forth down the corridor.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"
"Hee-hee-hee......"
With the sound of Ta's heavy footsteps, and the sound of strange laughter coming in through the crack in the door of the study, the sound made people's scalps tingle.
Ma Hao heard the teeth of the people around him chattering.
It was Eric lying closest to the door.
He lay flat in his sleeping bag, covering his mouth tightly with his hands, trying to stop his uncontrolled behavior. But the sound of small collisions still leaked out of his palm.
That's right, the more people lack something, the more they will show off. The arrogant and domineering Eric is actually the most timid one, even more afraid of the existence of ghosts than Rye, the original owner of Ma Hao's body.
Looking at the essence through his various behaviors, almost every time Eric is the most flustered of these people. His irascible personality and the appearance of killing Matt are undeniably the outward release of his inner character, but perhaps, it is also to become the protective color of his heart.
"Hee...... Hee-hee......"
The laughter in the hallway was intermittent, and Ma Hao made up a ghost who took pleasure in being scary, and their fear was Ta's most interesting toy.
The sound of footsteps stopped at some point.
Several people didn't dare to let go of the breath that mentioned their chests, because outside the study, there was an immediate knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
"Knock, knock, knock – hee...... Hee ......"
"Hee-hee-hee......"
One after another, knocking on the door of the study, and knocking on everyone's hearts.
Eric's teeth chattered even more, and he didn't care what little face he had left, and got up next to the strong Augs. The four of them huddled together in the gap between two rows of bookshelves.
In front of the irresistible ghost, there is finally what a group should be.
This night, my eyes were open until dawn, and no one dared to sleep no matter how tired I was.
The ghost was probably obsessed with this study, and he kept knocking on the door again and again, but he didn't use his supernatural powers to break in. The laughter died down later, but the softer knock on the door continued until dawn.
When the day came, there was finally a little light in the house. Although the light was cold, it was much better than the dark night.
Augs plucked up the courage to open the door, and Vera, Mahao, and Eric hid behind him.
The ghost who knocked on the door last night, they had already guessed where it was. The sound of the armor was so special that even if you couldn't hear it at first, when you calmed down and thought about it for a while, you could tell that it was the knight in the corridor on the second floor.
Tiger was stabbed to death by the knight's spear, and last night's sound was from the armor, and the ghost in the castle is probably hiding in the knight's armor!
The door was snapped open by Augs.
There was no expected knight's ghost outside the door, only a pool of blood that stretched up the stairs to the second floor.
