29. The Castle Passage (Part II)

She followed the little boy to the top of the stairs, and at a glance she caught a glimpse of the person beside the stairs in the lobby downstairs, it was Henry! Perhaps in order to prevent those guests who drank sleeping pills from waking up and disturbing the banquet, people were specially arranged to guard here!

"Hey, don't wander around......" She was about to warn the little boy to pay attention, only to find that the little boy was gone, so silently that she thought she had just seen a hallucination. It's strange, where is that little boy sacred? Haha, she's not going to meet a real vampire, right? Well, leave the little boy alone, she has to find a way not to alarm Henry and go up the stairs into the corridor in the basement. She sat in the hallway next to the pitch-black staircase, thinking about it, unless she could put on Harry? Potter's invisibility cloak, otherwise there is no way to prevent Henry from discovering and walking past.

"Are you still sitting here?" I don't know when the little boy came back, "You don't know the way?" ”

She didn't want to care about how the little boy came out, so she only said: "It's not that she doesn't know the way, but there is no way to enter the secret passage without being discovered by the people downstairs." ”

"Well-that's right-" The little boy tilted his head, not knowing if he really understood.

Would she go back to her room, climb down the balcony, and climb through the garden window into the first-floor hallway? Tsk, this method is very dangerous! She is not a quick person, and there is no rope that can act as a lifeline, and if she accidentally falls, she will be crippled if she does not die!

"I have a way." The little boy leaned into her ear and said.

"Really?" She looked at the little boy in amazement.

"Really." The boy smiled mysteriously and said, "But I helped you, how are you going to repay me?" ”

No way? Don't today's children know what it means to "help others"?! "How do you want me to repay you?" Will she be asked to buy a candy house for him?

"Rest assured, I won't ask you to do evil or kill yourself." The little boy said with a grin.

If she wants to kill herself, there is no need to help her! "And what the hell do you want me to do?"

"I'll tell you when you get out of here." The little boy said, "How?" Is it acceptable? ”

She thought for a moment and said, "As long as I can do it, I'll do my best." ”

"You can absolutely do it." The little boy patted her cheek in an old-fashioned manner, "Come, follow me." ”

She followed the little boy in disbelief and said, "By the way, who are you?" She glanced down the stairs to make sure she hadn't been spotted before following the boy.

"My name is very long, I'm afraid you won't remember it." The boy looked back and said, "You can call me Adelan, I've lived here for a long time, and I know this place very well." ”

"Yes...... "It didn't seem to be the answer she wanted, and she couldn't guess if Adelan really didn't understand or if she was deliberately obscuring the topic?" So why are you here to help me? "The benefits she can give are so appealing? She was overestimated.

"Isn't it good? I see you're pleasing to the eye! "And I'm not volunteering for free." ”

"I was wrongly loved." She was flattered.

Adelan stopped in front of an oil painting in the hallway, and from the position, the dining room should be directly below them. Adelan patted her arm and said, "Go and turn the picture clockwise." ”

That commanding tone didn't look like a child at all. She can only say that the little ghost head is really getting less and less cute now. Without further adoβ€”after all, she had no interest in educating childrenβ€”she stepped forward to turn the painting, and then heard a mechanical crosstalk, and a square entrance less than a meter high silently appeared below the painting. "This is a secret passage?" She looked at Adlan.

"Hmm." Adelan nodded, "Didn't I say that the current owner of this castle is familiar with the secret passages here, but he has not fully grasped them. ”

"And how did you get to grips with that?" Could it be that this castle was built by this kid?

"I have a full map of the castle's secret passages." Adelan laughed.

That's not what she wanted to know. Is Adelan pretending to be stupid? "Why do you have a full map of the secret passage? Are you the son or grandson of the architect who designed the castle? ”

Adelan glared and asked, "Are you going to leave here, or do you want to know why I know about the secret passage here?" ”

"Uh...... Let's go. She laughed dryly.

The height of this secret passage was very low, and she could only climb into it. After they entered, Adelan was in front and said, "There's a mechanism button on your right, and the entrance closes when you press it." ”

"Oh." She fumbled around the wall on the right for a while, found a square bump, pressed it and closed the entrance behind her. "Adelan, where does this secret passage lead?"

"You'll find out later." Adelan is clearly selling off. "What? Are you afraid I'll sell you? In the darkness, Adran's playful tone was unusually clear.

To be honest, at first she thought the kid was cute, but she didn't expect that it was just his face that was cute, and his tone and words made her feel like she was an ignorant child being played. "I'm a little scared." She is also very frank. And this is a place where vampires haunt, and she's afraid of meeting vampires! She had neither a cross nor garlic, and the only way to run for a vampire was if she could.

"You're sincere." "When I was a kid, adults always taught me to be honest, and it turned out that the adults lied the most. ”

"Come on, it's easy to offend people by saying everything honestly, so how can you survive in society?" She muttered, "Have you ever heard of a white lie?" Sometimes lying is also a form of politeness. ”

"Uh-huh, good excuse." Adelan smiled, "Hey, there's a ladder down here, go down from here, watch your step." ”

"Okay." I didn't expect this little ghost to be quite careful. She descended the ladder and let out a sigh of relief when her feet reached the floor. "Adelan?" I can barely see my fingers here, I can't tell the difference between the east and the west, and I can't see the trace of Adelan.

The hand was suddenly grabbed by a cold hand, and Adelan's childish voice sounded, "Here it is." ”

"Where are you going now?" She asked.

"I'll take you by the road." Adelan's voice was quite pleasant, like that of an elementary school student going on an outing.

"Can you see that?" It's so dark here. She asked curiously. Adelan didn't hesitate at all, as if she could see her surroundings clearly, could it be that Adelan took advantage of her lack of attention to wear night vision goggles?

"Uh-huh, didn't I say I know everything about this? You can walk out with your eyes closed. Adelan's tone seemed to be joking and true, and she was so confused that she couldn't tell whether the child was telling the truth or not.

"Ah...... Is it......" Well, if you can't figure it out, you can't figure it out, and she still expects Adelan to take her out of this castle, and it's useless to suspect him. Maybe French children have a special sense of direction, right?
