Walk through the gloomy tunnel behind the stone gate, mild and ambiguous. The ambiguous red light came into view, and before he entered the room in front of him, there was a pungent smell of blood, which made Zhang Luo sneeze.

"Be careful......" said Velf, who had been following him.

Perhaps because of the unexpected, there was a slight surprise in her voice. Sensing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Luo also clenched Pandora's handle a little and strode into the room in front of him. And then—

What comes into view is a gorgeous and "warm" bedroom.

Instead of a mountain of human bones, the room is filled with walls of elaborate landscape murals depicting a lakeside landscape with two canoes floating in the center of a rippling azure lake.

On the walls were inlaid with gold-trimmed wardrobes and bookshelves, and a large bed, four meters long and three meters wide, lay in the center of the bedroom, the sheets were a seductive lilac, and on it hung a silk curtain that should have been pure white but was completely stained scarlet by blood.

"Uh-huh......"

Behind the blood-soaked silk, something was wriggling, making disgusting biting and swallowing sounds. Seeing this scene, Zhang Luo didn't say anything, and the Wolf behind him had already widened his eyes in surprise:

"She's dead?"

Hearing her voice, there was a disgusting hiccup from behind the silk hanging at the head of the bed, and then a pair of gray feet pierced through the curtain of the bed and stepped on the ceiling painted with blue sky and white clouds.

"Uh......"

With a hiccup sound, the "man" finally tore open the silk and revealed his terrifying true form.

That's a skinny one. The guy with an unusually gray complexion, many parts of his body have rotted to the point of revealing bones. The skinny head made him look more like a skeleton.

Of course, that's not the point right now. To Zhang Luo's surprise, this guy's feet were on the ceiling, as if he had reversed gravity, and the whole person stood in front of the bed in an "upside-down" posture.

At that moment, the air in the bedroom seemed to freeze, and in the deathly silence, the "zombie" hanging upside down on the ceiling opened its gray eyes that seemed to be suffering from cataracts, and focused its gaze on Zhang Luo's face in a black sweatshirt, opening his mouth that was still bleeding. Make a hoarse voice:

"Outsiders...... All are going to die. ”

Click!

As soon as his words fell, the whole person was cut off by a silver light lit up in Zhang Luo's hand, and his upper body fell back to the blood-drenched big bed, but his feet and lower body were still standing on the ceiling, and a large number of internal organs fell down with a clatter.

“……”

Seeing the bloody scene in front of him, Velve covered her mouth with a pale face, looking like she wanted to vomit. Zhang Luo didn't say anything, just strode forward and lifted the curtain of the bed, observing the scene inside.

The lilac sheets were covered in splatters of blood. The monster that had just been cut off by "Pandora" was still twitching, but Zhang Luo could see that most of the blood stains were not left by this monster. But......

"Was the original owner eaten......"

He frowned and muttered. Zhang Luo came to the ebony cabinet at the head of the bed, looked at the crystal cup on it, and a note next to it.

Open the note. It was still written in beautiful French, but in the mode of translation of the Executioner's Eye. Translating these words into Chinese is a breeze:

Queen:

When all the characters are in place, our time will come. GET READY - YOUR DEAR, JANE.

After reading the note of unknown significance, Zhang Luo casually stuffed the paper into his pocket, then looked back at Willf with a shocked expression, took back Pandora, who had transformed into a large boomerang, stared at the face of the blonde woman, and said in a deep voice:

"Let's be honest, which card do you represent?"

Hearing Zhang Luo's words, Ville was stunned for a moment, and then said weakly: "I don't understand what you mean......

"Don't pretend, it's obvious now." Zhang Luo smiled and continued to make his inference: "The residents who live here symbolize the role of tarot cards, right? ”

Seeing that Werf was still silent, Zhang Luo said slowly: "When I saw the mural outside just now, I felt strange, why did I add a black frame to the picture, after all, if it was an ordinary mural, I wouldn't deliberately add a box or something like that." That is, the box itself is also part of the picture, so it is obvious......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Luo stood in front of Villeff, stared down slightly at her dark brown eyes, and said word by word: "That painting is actually a tarot card representing the 'Empress', that's why it is framed in black, right?" ”

-- IN THE TAROT CARDS, THE MAIN 22 CARDS ARE CALLED THE "BIG ARCANA CARDS", AND THE THIRD CARD IS THE EMPRESS.

In this way, the "third place of residence" written next to the clumsy graffiti can also be explained.

To put it simply, this bedroom where the murder has just happened is the bedroom of the "Empress"! And the monster that had just been killed by Zhang Luo and hung upside down on the ceiling was-

"THE PERSON I KILLED WAS THE 'THE-HANGED-MAN' IN THE TAROT, RIGHT?"

"You're right......" Velf let out a long sigh and a helpless smile appeared on his face, "I didn't expect you to guess so quickly, I thought I could hide it for a while." ”

"It's strange that I can't guess so many clues, after all, it's my kind of witty and brave ......"

Zhang Luo realized that he was off topic halfway through speaking, and immediately pulled the topic back on track and asked, "So can you explain now, what kind of person are you?" ”

At this point, the identity of Vilf is already obvious, and the blonde woman is clearly one of the members of the group, and there is a high probability that it also symbolizes a character in the tarot.

"Okay." Velf raised her head and looked at Zhang Luo seriously, her brown eyes suddenly turned cloudy dark yellow:

"You're right, I'm indeed a resident here, representing the No.15 of the Tarot cards, the Big Arcana...... THAT'S 'THE-DEVIL'. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this evil title, Zhang Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, even he didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman symbolized the "demon" in the tarot cards.

But even so, he didn't ask more, and immediately moved on to the next question:

"And what card am I symbolizing?"

As you can deduce from the note above, an event will only occur when all the characters are in order. It seems that the death of the "empress" who lives here is likely related to her own arrival.

Zhang Luo knew that if his arrival was also a part of the incident, then his current self was likely to symbolize one of the tarot cards like the other residents here!

As he expected, Villeff spoke quickly, with a hint of frustration in her voice:

"THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LACK OF A PERSON HERE, THE NO.20 OF THE BIG ARCANA CARD - 'JUDGMENT'. I think you should be the 'judgment'. ”

"I see."

After understanding his role, Zhang Luo asked the most critical question at present:

"In that case, I wonder what the inhabitants here have to do with tarot cards, and why do they have the title of tarot cards?"

Hearing this, Vilf sighed again, sat down on the bloody bed, lowered her head and stared at the sneakers on her feet, and said:

"I'll tell you the ins and outs, but it's a long story, and it starts 200 years ago......" (To be continued.) )
