The book flipped through and I turned to the illustrated page of William VIII!

That's right, it's this man! This is the picture I saw in room 203 of the Ping'an Apartment, the hideous-faced King - William VIII! In this illustration, William VIII's expression is no longer so terrifying, he also wears a crown and holds a scepter, which looks very majestic. However, those eyes that were as wide as copper bells, as if they could eat people, still made me shudder!

The history of this William VIII is naturally not as brilliant as his ancestor, Mary I, on the contrary, it is a little ugly.

The kings of the Louis dynasty were generally short-lived, with the exception of Mary I and William II, the other kings generally only ruled for less than ten years before they died, probably because they were all drunk on wine, right? Passed down to William VIII's generation, the king's reign was also very short, that is, a short eight years.

However, William VIII did not die of illness, but in battle.

In 1853, a war broke out between the Kingdom of Platteeuw and the invading France. It was the year after Napoleon's nephew, Louis Bonaparte, founded the Second French Empire, and the ambitious French emperor was bent on clearing the surrounding small states from the map.

In this war, the Kingdom of Platteeuw was defeated, and King William VIII also died on the battlefield. Within a few years, the Kingdom of France completely annexed the Kingdom of Platteeuw. Although William VIII was not the last monarch of the Platteeuw Kingdom, it was the battle he participated in that finally brought the Plattew Kingdom to a dead end. Since then, the kingdom of Platteeuw has completely disappeared from the world map and has become part of the French territory. However, successive French editions have covered up this history, not only changing the name of Platteeuw, but also requiring that people there must learn French. By now, except for some local elders, no one may know that the kingdom of Plattew once existed in history. Platteeuw has become a dusty memory.

Except for the record of his death in the war against France, there is little achievement in his life. However, the negative accounts about him in this book shocked me.

In this book, the monarch is described as "insanity". The book says: This King William VIII is not only cruel and ruthless (just like this face of his), but also has eccentricities.

What is a quirk? It turned out that William VIII actually liked to disguise himself as a woman, and he once wore exactly the same clothes as his ancestor Mary I, and claimed that half of himself was the reincarnation of Mary I. Of course, this was discussed and criticized by the courtiers, but the king still went his own way, and did not care at all what others thought. (With William VIII's appearance, I'm afraid it's ugly to make up a woman, right?) There was speculation that it must have been the ghost of Queen Mary I haunting the poor fellow and making him insane. However, most psychologists of later generations believe that William VIII was a typical transvestite.

According to the official version, William VIII was killed in the war between Platteeuw and France, but strangely, his body was not found at all. At the time of the state funeral, he could only be buried in the royal robe he had worn before, and his mound was in the royal mausoleum, not far away, which was the mausoleum of his old ancestor whom he had always admired and emulated, Mary I. It's a pity that if he can see this old ancestor after he dies, I'm afraid he will only bow his head in shame.

Of course, there is also a theory that this William VIII did not die in the war, but fled, but because he had no face to go back, he went into seclusion. Another theory is that he has been secretly executed or imprisoned by the French, and all information has been blocked, after all, the execution or imprisonment of the king of another country, if this kind of thing is known to other European countries at that time, it is not a good thing for the French, so the French simply declared that the king Wilhelm VIII died in the rebellion.

Like Mary I, until now, in the territory of the original kingdom of Platteeuw, there is a terrible legend that the ghost of this king still hovers on that battlefield and has become a terrible ghost. As long as there are unexpected deaths there, it may be related to the ghost of this king.

In addition, the king was very superstitious during his lifetime, and he not only liked fortune-telling and divination, but also seemed to know witchcraft. It is recorded in the history books that William VIII had a bad omen on his last expedition. However, the conceited king took charge of the expedition and killed the poor soothsayer who had soothed him, on the grounds that the soothsayer was "a foreigner and a fool of the people," and that he was a spy sent by the French, and hung his head on the gate as an example. Ironically, however, the final outcome of the war was as the soothsayer had predicted, with the defeat of the Platteeuw kingdom and the whereabouts of William VIII unknown.

I flipped a few more pages down the book, only to see a picture. On the top of the picture, there was a very strange pattern, a grinning monster with a black cross in his hand, smiling at me.

I was startled, but when I looked closer, the monster had vanished into the shape of a heart, which was covered by the cross.

Strange, why does this pattern look so familiar? What does this mean? I looked at the bottom of the picture, but there was no annotation.

Flipping through it, suddenly, from the book, something fell out of it and fell gently to the ground.

I was stunned, closed the book, and bent down to pick it up. Unexpectedly, these turned out to be two tickets, and moreover, they were two real-name tickets.

However, as soon as I saw the names on these two tickets, my pupils suddenly dilated, and my heartbeat accelerated.

It turned out that the names on these two tickets were - Wu Qiang and Mary!

Oh my God, this, this is actually a ticket for the two of them? Where are they going?

There is no doubt that the departure station is "Dead Silence", but the name of the arrival station stunned me!

"Huangquan Mansion"?

Huangquan Mansion, isn't that a place where people go after they die? Oh my God, how could there be such a terrible, unlucky place name?

I thought I had seen it wrong, and rubbed my eyes again, but the two tickets still said "Dead Town Station - Huangquanfu Station".

What's wrong with the people in this place, why do they like to take such an unlucky place name?

There is an even more bizarre thing about this ticket, that is, there is neither driving time nor seats. However, since the ticket is still here, it means that Wu Qiang and Mary have not left yet. Perhaps, this train is the kind of small train that is similar to the subway, the kind that can be boarded at any time as long as you have a ticket, and you can sit in any seat.

But why did Wu Qiang and Mary go to that terrible place together? Do they want to escape from Dead Silence?

I connected the various situations together and came to the conclusion that these two people seemed to be planning to elope together!

Elope? Although this word is a derogatory term to me, it even makes me a little jealous. However, I had to think of this possibility.

There are various indications that the relationship between this Wu Qiang and the Mary I am looking for is definitely not ordinary, and it can even be said that they are a couple.

Of course, most likely, Wu Qiang is myself. Because I have amnesia, I can't remember that. However, I remember vividly: Mary and I were a couple!

However, regardless of whether this Wu Qiang is me or not, it is very likely that Wu Qiang and Mary will live in this hotel together, in this 306 room. They also bought tickets and planned to elope together, or to flee together, either because their parents were against them being together, or because there was some terrible disaster in the town, which was facing destruction, and they had to flee immediately to a safe place!

I thought of another possibility, that is: Mary instigated Wu Qiang to set fire to St. Mary's English School in the town, and in order to escape responsibility, the two absconded in fear of crime?

However, I tried not to let myself doubt Mary's character, and I didn't believe that the previous illusion was real, so wouldn't Mary and Wu Qiang become criminals?

Forget it, I don't want to think so much. So, what do I do next? Am I going to stay here and wait for these two people to come back? Since these two tickets are still here, they must come back, and if I stay here, maybe I will be able to meet Mary. When the time comes, I will know if I am Wu Qiang.

But what if neither of them came back? Or have they all been killed, as I dreamed in my hallucinations, and have all become corpses in coffins in the tombs?

This room is really quiet, ** quiet, I can hear my own heartbeat and breathing.

Nervousness, anxiety, fear and confusion, like the devil, haunted my brain.

Should I continue to wait here? Shall I get out of here?

This question is like the most classic line in "Hamlet" - "To live or to perish, this is a question".

That's right, maybe that's what I'm facing – survival, or destruction!

I lowered my head and looked at the two tickets in my hand.

Suddenly, an idea popped into me.

Anyway, I don't have to wait, I'll go to that place called "Huangquan Station" too!

I don't know why I had this thought, it seems a little unreasonable. I'm not sure I'm that Wu Qiang, the man who just wanted to elope with Mary, but I actually want to take this guy's ticket and go to a place called "Huangquan Mansion"? Where do I go, what can I do? Could it be that Mary will be waiting for me there? If she's already there, why is the ticket still in the house?

However, it was as if a voice in my heart was telling me: You must go to that place! That place hides the ultimate answer to all your questions!

That's right, I'm going to check it out! I want to know who I am, what is the relationship between me and Mary and Wu Qiang?

In the end, I couldn't resist this strong impulse and curiosity in my heart. I put those two tickets in my pocket, although I was a little sorry for Mary and Wu Qiang. However, they may not come back. This ticket is of little use to them, but for me, this ticket has a good chance of changing my fate in the future!

At this moment, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, as if someone was coming towards here······
