Chapter 13: The Second Game

"Brother, we can go." I turned my head and saw that Goody was already standing behind me, and I sighed helplessly and took it

Accepted the position of captain. Touching Goody's head, I took the lead and walked over and pushed open the door.

And I didn't see it at all, behind my back, Goody and Sook Jing made a V gesture to Lotte at the same time, and Sook Jing even stuck out her tongue mischievously at my back.

This time it was much better than last time, although I was still a little dizzy, but I didn't get dizzy for a long time, and soon my brain cleared up.

Looking around closely, it seemed to be a European-style castle, and I was in the main hall of the castle, with a long staircase leading to the second floor. I looked around and everyone else was gone. And just when I was full of questions, the voice of the host suddenly sounded inside the castle: "Welcome to my castle, the rules of the game are very simple, each of you has a walkie-talkie in your hand, you can talk to each other, but you can't tell each other your location, you can't tell each other your identity and anything related to identity." You can't take off your masks, you can't leave this castle, okay, the game begins. ”

I touched my face, and sure enough, I had a mask on my face. I looked at the walkie-talkie in my hand. (Why did the organizers set the rules of the game?) What's so funny? )

I didn't understand, so I didn't think about it, and I said into the walkie-talkie, "Are you all there?" ”

"In!" This is the sound of a Lotte hippie smiley face.

"I'm so scared." This is Sook Jing's voice.

"Captain, I'm fine." This is Cheng Hongsheng's voice.

"I'm here too, Captain, it's weird here." This is Zhang Changxu's voice.

"TMD, Lao Tzu is not dead?" This is the voice of the Yellow Shadow.

"Brother, I'm fine, don't worry." Needless to say, it's Goody's voice.

"Yes." A short but powerful answer. The walkie-talkie was instantly quiet. (There was one more person, and I reacted instantly, and it turned out that the organizer meant this.) Then the way of life should be like that. )

After a brief silence, Lotte's voice came out of the intercom: "Did you hear that?" Did you hear that? ”

"Nonsense." I said weakly, and then I continued to say into the intercom, "Rakuten, I think you understand what the organizers mean." ”

Lotte was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Well, there is a ghost in our middle, I think we are chatting now, and that ghost should also be listening." ”

I said helplessly: "However, we have to say, take us apart, and then put on masks, in this way, we don't know who the ghost is, and we don't know if the ghost can change the voice, so if we meet, no one can believe it." ”

Lotte said helplessly: "Ghosts can kill people wantonly, and we can only hide?" It's a lot like catching and seeking! ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Rakuten, if I'm not mistaken, this 'game' is the way to live." ”

"Find out which one is a ghost!" Lotte said almost at the same time as me.

As I spoke, I walked upstairs: "Yes, find out which one is the ghost, but how do we point it out?" ”

The middle section of the staircase leads to both sides, and in the middle of the fork is a floor-to-ceiling mirror about 2.5 meters high and 0.7 meters wide. I looked in the mirror, and there was actually a string of numbers on the forehead of my mask, "19880127" It turned out to be like this, and I immediately understood (I see, does everyone have a reading number on their mask?). Just point out the number of ghosts? )

I told Lotte what I found on the walkie-talkie, and of course, the ghost must have heard it, and when he heard my conjecture, Lotte smiled and said, "You should be right, but how do we know the words on everyone's mask?" Even if you meet each other in the castle, you should be able to avoid it very quickly, right? Shall we rush up and have a look? I nodded wryly. The hard thing to do now is, how do you know the number on the ghost's forehead? (Forget it, I don't believe that the organizers don't give you a way out at all, and the hint should be in this castle.) )

I looked at the dark staircase on both sides, the one on the right led to a short corridor with portraits of people on the walls, and at the end of the corridor was a staircase leading to the third floor. And the staircase on the left apparently leads to several rooms, which should be a servant's room in the style of ancient Western Europe. Let's go to the left, I looked at the stairs leading to the third floor, and I always had a bad feeling in my heart

Straight. Thinking of this, I walked up the stairs on the left. Although the stairs were covered with a thick red carpet, there was a "crunch" sound when I walked up. (No one has walked this staircase for a long time.)

Walking to the door of the first maid's room, I carefully looked at the cobweb-covered doorway. (Do you want to go in?) After thinking for a while, I gritted my teeth and pushed the door open, "Squeak-" The door opened with a long, tooth-aching sound. It was pitch black inside the door. I shone around with the faint glow of the timer. It was deathly quiet all around. Walking in cautiously, the door squeaked shut behind me. Frightened, I hurriedly turned around and shone it with a timer. Thankfully, there was nothing. Turning around again, I looked around, a simple single bed, a dresser, a stool, a wardrobe. The furnishings in the room were so simple that I could see everything when I scanned the surroundings with a timer.

I walked cautiously to the dresser, it was still a mirror, and in the faint light of the timer, even my own face was so terrifying, I panicked when I saw it. (Let's look around, maybe you can find a hint of "survival".) Avoiding myself in the mirror, I opened the drawer of the dresser, and in the drawer there was a notebook, which I carefully took out, blew off the dust, and turned the first page. It seems to have been written by the maid of the castle before, and she babbled on and on about her experience working in the castle, and I flipped back, and the last few articles caught my attention.

June 7, sunny

Today the Count's condition seems to have worsened, and he is always shouting nonsense in front of us about "numbers" and "ghosts". The priest came, but he couldn't take a good look at the Count, and the Countess had no choice but to tie the Count to the basement.

June 13, cloudy

Today it was my turn to bring food to the Count, and I went into the basement, which was fortunately very dry and had a faint fragrance, and the Count was locked up in this dark basement, and I felt sorry for the Count. The Count was no longer the suave man he used to be, he had lost a lot of weight, he had little energy, and when I brought him food, he hid in a corner in fear. Count, you have always been kind to us before, and I can only silently pray for you to get well soon, "Amen".

June 27, rain

I don't know what to do? The Count has escaped from the basement, he has killed several maids, and I am now hiding under the bed, hoping that the Count will not find me.

This is the last note, and the paper of this note has been soaked with red blood, although it has been many years, I can vaguely smell a faint smell of blood. Suddenly I thought of something, and I jerked my head and looked under the bed. (Would you like to go over and have a look?) Reluctantly, I took a step in the direction of the bed. Coming to the bed, I took a deep breath and jerked open the bed board, sure enough, a dried female corpse was lying under the bed board, I could even feel that the floor next to the female corpse was a little darker than the original red, and the female corpse's chest was scratched a few times, and the word "number" was written in Chinese traditional Chinese. I hurriedly put the bed down and ran out of the room. Vomiting, vomiting endlessly, until I vomited all the food in my stomach, I felt a little better. Leaning against the wall and resting for a while, I looked at the maid's room next door. (Do you want to go in?) )
