Chapter 223: Black Town, Ancient Castle

Black Town.

Gothic-style town.

The buildings are mostly made of some kind of iron metal with magic attached.

At a distance, a large black castle looms in the center of the town.

What made Lu Ran feel a little uncomfortable was that a large number of crows were entrenched in the sky above the town, and even on the dead wood on the outskirts of the town, there was a group of crows standing on almost every branch.

Moreover, the crows all turned their heads and looked at Lu Ran and his party.

It seems that every crow that sees something can be reflected in the eyes of a certain person.

The town is lit by large red candles and small white candles, rather than the usual street lights.

There is a red candlestick every few meters between the streets and alleys, and on each candlestick stands three large red candles...... In some streets, there are a large number of small white candles arranged irregularly, which is really a bit weird.

The houses inside are all separate buildings with different styles, and the various shops have characteristics such as 'horror', 'witchcraft', 'abyss', 'curse', and 'depravity'.

"This town...... Is that Ying'er, your hometown?"

"That's right!"

"The castle in the center is not the ......"

"That's right, the castle is where the lord's family lives...... Paper Bo used to be the chief steward of the castle, but now he has stepped down and mainly follows me. ”

"Paper Uncle!"

Wu Xiaoge, who was driving, had unconsciously revealed his true body when he entered this area.

An old man in a white paper coat was driving a car, and his arms on two thin bamboo poles were like strips of paper that could be easily broken.

Lu Ran sat in the back row and was silent......

The gate of the town is designed as a giant black iron gate, and a string of black text is engraved on the top - [Horror Town].

A zombie-like gatekeeper, after confirming the identity of the paper uncle, slowly pushed open the iron door weighing dozens of tons with brute force...... The dark stone-paved paths and the Gothic-style town are in full view.

As the car drove into town, its speed dropped to 20 yards.

Some weird shops opened Lu Ran's eyes, and the style was completely different from the hell shop.

【Miss Mace's Barbershop】

A proprietress who can split each finger in two and turn it into small scissors.

His hair was scattered and covering his eyes, and he was constantly opening and closing his fingers, waving to Huang Ying who was passing by.

"Sister Mace, I'll find you to do your hairstyle when I'm free."

【Evil Soul Pet Shop】

A one-eyed, cobbled together shop with a variety of animals has just opened a shop, with green-eyed ghost cats as its main cargo.

"Uncle Strange Eyes!" Huang Ying took the initiative to say hello.

The other party made a sound of seven or eight creatures superimposed on each other, welcoming the return of Miss Huang Ying.

【Mirror】

A jewelry boutique decorated entirely with mirrors.

The owner is not in the store, but in a classic vanity mirror at the entrance of the store...... That's right, just standing in the mirror.

A man and a woman stood quietly, staring at the group of people passing by.

For this person, Huang Ying seemed to have some unfamiliar or unhappy past, but just smiled reluctantly.

All kinds of weird shops, completely different from the blood-based shops in hell...... Ordinary people are afraid that they will be scared to death in a few minutes when they come here.

There are relatively few passers-by.

It's not entirely nothing.

Lu Ran saw a total of three special passers-by, one of whom was a woman with a red umbrella and a child in her arms...... Because of the constant crying of babies, it attracted Lu Ran to look over.

Who knew that in the woman's arms was a shrunken baby with no eyes and deep eye holes that kept bleeding.

The second is a zombie-like cleaner, who moves stiffly, but cleans very seriously.

The third is a ghost resembling a patrolman. Men, students in uniforms, and their eyes bulging out like dead fish's eyes, quickly roaming the streets in a floating form, patrolling back and forth.

The group of people sitting in the car, the one who reacted the most was Han Shiwan, who trembled slightly in this weird town atmosphere at the beginning, and held Lu Ran...... After a while, I got used to it completely.

Walk through the ordinary residential area of Black Town to the huge forecourt of the ancient castle.

Here you need to walk forward, and under the guidance of the paper uncle, you can smoothly come to the bottom of the ancient castle.

The tall and thin castle, the overall building uses tens of millions of black bones, beautifully spliced together and stabilized with a special formation, it is simply a fortress.

When he got out of the car, Lu Ran took a deep breath.

Entrenched in the sky, a flock of crows descends to form a young man with a pointed chin, a tuxedo, and monolithic eyes with a copper frame.

Being stared at by this person, there was a feeling of being completely seen, which made Lu Ran feel uncomfortable.

"Uncle Paper, Miss! Welcome home...... This must be the eldest lady's boyfriend, oh, it's kind of interesting. ”

When he turned to look at Han Shiwan, he immediately noticed a trace of difference, and at the same time, he was also attracted by Han Shiwan's unique temperament.

Hurriedly bowed and took Han Shiwan's delicate white hand, and kissed the back of his hand lightly.

"The temperament of an artist! This beautiful young lady is"

"Han Shiwan, Lu Ran's cousin...... It's also my sister I recognize. ”

"Beautiful name...... Welcome to the House of Horrors! I am the chief steward of the House of Horrors, the Raven. ”

This young man completely regarded Han Shiwan as a "stranger" and did not reject her...... Although he greeted Lu Ran and the others with a smile, this smile made Lu Ran very uncomfortable.

This is the place of the paper uncle, the new chief steward, when the car drove into the area, the crow watched over us...... The crow's eyes are exactly the same as this man's, and he has been observing us for a long time, such a dangerous fellow.

At first impression, Lu Ran didn't like this housekeeper very much.

In comparison, the paper uncle, who is also a housekeeper, is more pleasing.

"Raven, when does lunch start?"

"There are 38 minutes and 31 seconds left, so I'll lead you to the rest room first. Madame Zun specially instructed that a separate room should be reserved for the two distinguished guests. ”

"The ......"

Lu Ran was naturally worried that Han Shiwan lived alone in a room, and was stopped by Huang Ying when he was about to speak.

"Sister Wan'er doesn't have to live in a separate room, she just lives with me...... I believe my mother won't say anything."

"Of course, since this is the case, I will only be responsible for leading Little Brother Lu Ran to the VIP room."

The raven made a fist with his right hand, placed it between his lower abdomen, and led Lu Ran to the castle with his head held high.

"Brother Ran, we'll see you at lunch later."

"Okay."

As soon as you enter the castle, you will see a huge watercolor painting hanging on the wall.

A solemn, weird, glamorous, and sexy woman, with the same plump lips as Huang Ying, must be the hostess of this ancient castle, that is, the mother-in-law that Lu Ran is about to meet!

Follow the butler and take the elevator to the middle level of the castle.

A dark and quiet corridor appeared in front of Lu Ran.

The raven waved his hand, and the red candle on the passage lit.

At the end, a bright red door stands out.

"Little brother Lu Ran, this is a room specially prepared for you by Mrs. Zun, and I hope you can get used to it."
