30. The Castle Passage II
"Wait a while and you'll accompany me to see the excitement before leaving, okay?" Adelan stopped and said suddenly.
"What's the excitement?" Do you want to see the excitement at this juncture? Is this Adlan trying to make her anxious? "Can I say no?"
Adelan's expression could not be seen in the darkness, only his voice without any mood fluctuations could be heard: "Of course you can say, but I must go." Either you find your way on your own, or you're just waiting here? But I can't guarantee that someone won't accidentally tell you about being here......"
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you!" She said through gritted teeth. This dead imp is clearly a threat!
After walking for a while, Adlan said, "Do you think we're dating like this?" ”
"Huh?" Finding the exit to the castle with a teenager younger than her in a dark secret passage is also a date? "You say yes, yes." Anyway, it's different from her concept of "dating".
Although Adelan didn't speak this time, she really felt displeasure from him, and the next second, Adelan shook off her hand.
"Adelan?" Where did the little ghost head go? Isn't it very unhappy with her answer just now, and she hid it awkwardly? Tsk, hasn't this kid learned what "responsibility" is? If you don't want to show her the way, you should say it! "Mobile phone, mobile phone ......" uses the light of the mobile phone screen as lighting, although the light is not enough, but it is better than nothing!
The light on the mobile phone screen could only be vaguely found half a meter away, and it was vaguely recognized that the walls of this secret passage were made of bluestone slabs, and Adelan was really gone. "What an awkward kid." She snorted, "What if there's any danger in running around?" She resigned herself to her fate and walked along the wall. Then again, there's just one way here, where can he go? Could it be that there is still a hidden space in this secret passage that can hide people?
I don't know if it's because of the thin air in the secret passage, she felt a little difficult to breathe after walking for a while. "How can this be...... "She wasn't worried about getting lost, it was a big deal to go back the way she came, but now she was worried that she would faint in the secret passage and become a skeleton and no one would know.
"You're the one who's in danger of running around, right?" Adelan's voice rang out behind her.
"Adelan?" She quickly turned around and confirmed, "Where did you go?" Are there any injuries?! ”
The light from the phone's screen reflected Adelan's deep eyes, so deep that she couldn't read what's inside. But he blinked, and then asked with a smile, "Are you worried about me?" ”
Isn't this nonsense? "Of course I'm worried about you."
"Hmm-" Adelan smiled and nodded, then took her hand and said, "Let's go, accompany me to see the excitement for a while, and when I finish the excitement, I will definitely take you out of this castle." ”
Is she being controlled by others like this? And it's subject to a child who is a round younger than her, and she's really useless as an adult. "Why do you look at me well? We haven't seen it again. She said.
"I fell in love with you at first sight." Adelan said briskly.
"Huh?!" Doesn't this kid understand the meaning of "love at first sight"? "Children, don't use idioms you don't understand, those with a weaker heart will be scared to death by you." She had just heard a black line.
"So your heart is strong, huh?" Adelan asked rhetorically.
"It's not very strong, I can only say that there has been nothing wrong so far." She said self-deprecatingly.
Adelan's tone suddenly turned sideways, and he lowered his voice even more: "Shhhh ”
"What the hell are you going to see?" She asked again.
"Look." I don't know what Adelan did, but a square window appeared in front of them, and light came through it.
"Hey! Someone will find out! She grabbed Adlan's wrist and shouted.
"It's okay, it's just a mirror from the outside." Adlan patted the back of her hand and said.
She leaned over to look suspiciously—there was a restaurant outside! She remembered that there were several mirrors fixed to the wall in this direction, and she also sighed at the intricate and exquisite patterns on the frames, but she didn't expect it to be a peeping window! "This is also a secret passage that was designed to build a castle, and Joseph didn't know about it?"
"Well, there are peepholes in other parts of this castle as well." Adelan said.
What the? People here are under the watchful eye of others, huh? I get goosebumps just thinking about it. "You know about the banquet tonight, too?" She asked, tilting her head.
"Of course, every once in a while, there are such weird gatherings." Adelan shrugged and said, "The people inside look like a bunch of pigs in a pigsty waiting to be fed." ”
"I said, little brother, please don't use this kind of expression and metaphor that is not suitable for your age at all, okay?" She rolled her eyes.
The people in the restaurant were all dressed in evening dresses, as if they were attending a banquet, but everyone had a faint frenzy and anticipation on their faces, mixed with a certain degree of nervousness, and strangely no one spoke, all she could hear was the footsteps of them coming and going. Qian Yi said that the people she knew would be sacrificed tonight, but there seemed to be no one she knew. "Even Murrow didn't come? Odd. "It doesn't make sense, doesn't Murrow really want to live forever? He should have been more active in this banquet than anyone else.
"You mean the gentleman who came with you? He slept in his room like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered. Adlan spread his hands.
"Little brother, can't you use a better analogy?" She rolled her eyes again.
"And then—he slept soundly like a dead corpse in a graveyard?" Adelan raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"When I didn't say anything." She shouldn't have discussed with a French kid whether the Chinese metaphor was appropriate. "You said it was lively, but this scene wasn't lively at all." Not only was it not lively, it was simply deserted, there were only more than ten people attending the banquet, and the atmosphere was indescribably suffocating, depressing and tense.
"It's all like that just now, you'll find out later." Adelan took her hand and said, "Oh, I found your hands cold, why?" Are you nervous? ”
"My blood circulation is not very good, and as long as the temperature is low, my hands and feet will be cold." She replied softly as she observed the movement outside.
Suddenly, applause rang out eagerly outside. She saw Joseph walk in through the door of the restaurant, dressed in a crisp white tuxedo and lined with his sun-like blonde hair, so gorgeous that people dared not look at him. "I really don't understand how there can be such a beautiful person in the world." She muttered.
"If he's not human, wouldn't he be able to explain it?" Adelan laughed.
She patted Adelan's head, "No matter how beautiful he is, he won't be human, right?" ”
Adelan stroked her messy hair and smiled strangely.
Joseph calmly walked through the crowd to the podium, picked up the microphone and began to speak in English. Her English skills are so-so, and she can barely understand some of them, but because she didn't understand some of them in the middle, she couldn't figure out what it meant after listening to the whole article. "Adelan, I didn't understand what he was saying." Although it was humiliating, it was still said.
"It's just a speech, it's all clichés." Adelan leaned against the window and said, "I just said at the end that their body structure has changed, and today is the day they drink blood for the first time, and if they need it in the future, they will have to collect it themselves." Oh, do you see? The person they pushed out of the car was the victim tonight. ”
She followed Adelan's line of sight and saw that it was Wang Chunxi who was lying flat on the cart with a needle hose inserted into the blood vessels of his arm!
