People like to worship gods and ghosts, because they think that the world is unpredictable, unpredictable, and not human, but I never believe that there are ghosts in this world, some are just like evil spirits, and all the weirdness is just to hide the unpredictable heart with the truth.

- Volume 1: The Case of the Castle

Our caravans, as well as the calculated time, arrived at the castle at 4 p.m., which was thought to be haunted. To be honest, I didn't have too much curiosity here, but I was helplessly caught by Song Yao, a little girl, to participate in this boring adventure.

Song Yao, 21 years old, my cousin, a junior in normal college, a typical rich second generation, a two-dimensional girl, originally made a plan for me to be her tutor during the holidays, but I didn't expect this girl to bargain with me, and she was tricked into playing a big adventure.

Here, rumored to be known as the Ghost Castle, it was built on a hill 300 kilometers away from the city, and the Ghost Castle has been turned into a horror-themed hotel since about half a year ago, attracting several groups of supernatural enthusiasts from all over the world to explore every month. And I am convinced that there are no ghosts in this world, and that there is only one truth at most.

This batch of 20 passenger cars discharged by the ghost castle tour agency was fully loaded and parked outside the courtyard of the villa, and we walked down from the car one after another, and we were all stunned when we saw this ghost castle.

The construction of the ghost castle is indeed very magnificent, built on the middle of the hill in this suburb, much like the western castle depicted in the movie, with ink-colored walls, surrounded by tall walls, standing outside the fence and looking at the courtyard, although I can't see the panorama, but I can't help but be shocked.

"Well, that's a bit too much, isn't it?"

Song Yao beside me opened her little mouth wide, and looked at the "villa hotel" in front of her with a surprised face, she had also learned about this ghost castle in leaflets and on the Internet before, but even so, now that she really saw it, it made this little girl's thoughts begin to be uncoordinated.

"Hehe, I seem to know why this place is so attractive."

The corners of my mouth curled, and when I saw such a magnificent residence of the castle palace, I knew in my heart that the basis of the tourist adventure here came from the magnificence of the castle. Who wouldn't want to spend less money and be the "owner" of the castle for once? Thinking of this, in fact, even I couldn't help but want to go in and witness the style of the ghost castle.

The gate of the outer wall of the ghost castle is so open, our group walked into the courtyard of the castle under the command of the driver master and without a tour guide, the castle is a very wide yard, but a little dilapidated, the lawn on the ground is messy and grassy, it has long been withered yellow, the lights in the compound are broken, the whole yard is empty, the sound of rats biting comes from the withered yellow grass, and occasionally a few crows can be heard. Because the ghost castle is tall and the courtyard is shady, even in the weather in May at this time, there are a few cool winds blowing, which makes people shiver.

The long journey, a few hours of travel, made the travelers a little lacking in spirit, and now they are excited by the atmosphere in the courtyard of the ghost castle, and everyone is also a little refreshed.

The gate of the ghost castle is completely black, and the gate is inlaid with a lot of limbs and skeletons, and the realism is relatively high. Song Yao, this girl usually seems to be bold, but when she arrives at the real chapter, she can't do it, after a few crow calls, I just wanted to step forward and push the door, Song Yao's hand was already holding my arm, cautiously probing around.

"Why don't the people in this ghost castle open the door to pick it up?"

Probably because the atmosphere was a little panicked, some of the tourists who accompanied them finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly at the gate of the castle.

With such a barren and eerie yard and the sound of rats and ants in the grass, and the occasional crow call, the atmosphere was indeed a little terrifying. Everyone looked at the gate that had not responded for a long time, and the sky seemed to be in order to match this atmosphere, and suddenly dark clouds were thickened, and a strong wind began to blow in the courtyard, and in the wind, they could easily smell a smell of blood and the slight smell of gangrene of the corpses hidden in it.

It may be that the smell of the scene and the sudden change in the weather made Song Yao even more frightened, holding my arm with both hands, and the ambivalence of fear and wanting to explore pushed me towards the door slowly.

"Brother, do you think this place is a little scary? I'm a little scared. ”

"I'm afraid you're coming, so you have to pester me with you." I rolled my eyes helplessly, looked indifferently at the so-called fear in front of me, and was controlled by Song Yao at will, and walked towards the door step by step.

I looked up and saw that it was a young man who was more than a head taller than me, and walked directly to the gate of the castle, slammed the gate and shouted: "Oh, it's going to rain, don't make the atmosphere, quickly open the door." ”

This man looks about the same age as me, tall, even, clear, speaks standard fluent Mandarin, wears a blue tracksuit, and looks like a gentleman, probably out of male sovereignty, my 1.7 meter disability height, and people have a trace of inexplicable displeasure in their hearts. When observing the tall man, a girl figure suddenly appeared behind him, with a height of one meter seven, also a blue tracksuit, which seemed to be a couple's outfit, and walked to the side of the tall man in a few steps.

Seeing this, Song Yao gestured with her chin to everyone, and said coquettishly to me: "Everyone is a couple to play and adventure, I don't have a boyfriend to borrow you as a brother." ”

"Who told you that all the couples come are adventurous?" In the face of Song Yao's coquettishness, I helplessly swept the people in front of me and behind me, and replied casually.

"I'm not blind." Song Yao pursed her lips and looked at me with disdain and said.

"Look at the fat man behind you and the couple next to him." In the face of Song Yao's disdain, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I skimmed Song Yao with my eyes.

"Well, what's wrong?"

Behind Song Yao is a pair of fat and thin couples, the fat man looks to be in his thirties, wearing a brand-name casual wear, carrying a briefcase in his hand, the couple next to him is also wearing a brand, and the smell of imported perfume fills the surroundings.

"They're not here to take risks." I said to Song Yao playfully.

"How do you know?"

"Seeing such a castle and such an atmosphere in the suburbs, everyone else was a little shocked and inexplicably happy, the fat man had a fierce face, with a briefcase, and did not look around, just looked at the gate of the ghost castle with disdain, obviously it was not the first time to come, her girlfriend was the first time to come, to explore around, but the expression on her face was not surprise, but jealousy and a trace of disdain."

"And what do they do?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this fat man should be a relative of the owner of this castle, and the two parties have a debt dispute. Moreover, this debt should be quite a lot, so much that it is worth more than the castle. ”

"How do you tell?"

"The disdain in the eyes of the female companion next to the fat man is the warning light that swells in her heart."

A girlfriend who had never been here, and was full of disdain when she first came, obviously knew very early on about the debt relationship between the fat man and the owner of the castle, and the price of the castle was so expensive that even the debt collector could not avoid being moved by it, and the woman's eyes were full of disdain and jealousy, which proved that the value of the debt was comparable to that of the castle.

I've always thought that psychology has given me a strong sixth sense, and it's the effect of empathy, which makes it easy to get into a person's mind, imitate and penetrate their position and the fragments of thought in their brain, and bring these fragments together to form the answers I want, and I have no modest attitude about that.

"Brother, according to what you say, I see that the couple next to the fat man also has a problem."

I smiled "haha", touched Song Yao's little head, and glanced at Song Yao, so that our eyes all fell on the couple next to the fat man.

The distance between men and women is an intimate distance, which proves that the man and woman are indeed in a relationship, but the dress and habitual movements make me see at a glance that they are different.
