In the forest, as Alice fell downhill, it was impossible to climb back for the time being, after all, she was injured. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Anyway, why climb back?

Judging from the direction he left, he should still be swimming uphill, and knowing that there is an enemy on the uphill slope, it would be stupid to go back if he can't beat it.

So Alice didn't choose how to go back, but followed the direction of the arrow indicated on the sign that served as a crutch in her hand and headed forward downhill.

As for the maid lady, please be blessed.

As Alice went deeper and deeper, more and more black bats hanging upside down on the branches of the dead trees around her stared at Alice, a strange visitor, with their scarlet eyes.

It wasn't long before Alice stopped and looked up at the buildings in the middle of nowhere, passing through the dense fog of the forest.

This is a large villa.

Judging by the paint on the exterior walls, this villa was built recently.

Judging by the surname on the house number of the villa, the owner of this villa is a nobleman...... It can only be a noble, and commoners can't afford to live in such a villa?

Through the light from the windows of the villa, the villa was brightly lit at this time, and, according to the black smoke from the chimney and the time of day, the servants in the villa should be preparing dinner.

It was such a villa, built in the middle of the forest, blocking Alice's path...... Or is this villa the end of the road?

Also, Why was the villa built in this inaccessible forest?

Well, you don't have to think about this kind of thing at all, it has nothing to do with you anyway...... With a wooden sign, Alice prepares to walk around the villa.

That's when --

The doors of the villa are wide open...... Automatic!

Before that, Alice didn't ring the doorbell at all, and she didn't even make much noise when she came here, so the people inside the villa definitely didn't know about Alice passing by, so what's going on with this welcoming gesture?

At this moment, standing in front of the gate of the villa, Alice, who was about to leave, paused and looked at the inside of the open gate of this villa.

Compared to the eerie wilderness, this warm and bright atmosphere full of home...... One mile and one away, two worlds entirely. Moreover, it seems to be deliberate, it is a hint of psychological oppression that deepens the fear and strongly wants to seek security!

Intuition tells Alice that if you go in, you can't get out!

Of course, you see, the door of the owner of this villa is open, and you should not be able to refuse as a guest, right?

...

......

After entering the villa, Alice discovers something...... There seems to be no one in this villa.

Alice wandered around the villa to make sure that the lights were on in every room, even the stove was on, and that the table in one of the rooms had cooked food on the table.

The melodious sound of the piano has been echoing throughout the villa since Alice entered.

The piano that made the sound was also found by Alice in one of the rooms, however, when Alice opened the room where the piano was playing, the piano stopped abruptly, and secondly, the room was empty...... I have searched for it, but I have not hidden it;

As Alice closed the door again, the piano sounded again.

The door was quickly reopened, and the sound was gone.

Slowly closing the door, the sound returned.

Open the door...... The sound disappears.

Close the door...... Sound restoration.

The difference is that if you stay in the room and close the room door, the sound of the piano will not return.

After thinking for a moment, Alice walked into the room, lifted a stool from the room, and came to the piano...... Without the consent of the owner of the villa, the smiling witch mercilessly smashed the stool into the piano.

At this moment, the piano with a good texture was smashed to pieces.

I thought that the piano sound should stop at this moment, but it was useless, and the piano sound was still there in the last test.

After coming to this conclusion, Alice stopped paying attention to the piano sound.

Moreover, from Alice's action and a huge movement, but still no one came out to accuse, it is not difficult to see that the villa is really empty...... It's not hidden.

So, why are the lights on in the villa?

Who made the still steaming dinner?

What is the sound of the piano?

Countless mysteries emerge.

But -- that's not the point.

In that case, there is nothing to worry about.

Returning to the previous dinner room, attracted by the smell of food, she sat down at a seat at the table, and after tying a scarf around her neck, Alice began to enjoy it with a fork and knife in hand.

"Thank you for your hospitality. ”

It took a few minutes to quickly solve the hunger pangs on an empty stomach, eat and drink to her heart's content, put down the dishes, wiped her lower lips with a napkin, and the smiling black-haired girl folded her hands together to show her gratitude.

Then, it's time to leave this villa.

However, to Alice's surprise,

After returning to the main hall gate, I don't know when the villa gate was closed. Alice pressed the doorknob of the gate with her hand, and tried to push it, but the door did not move at all, obviously uninsured...... Alice can't get out!
