After the first game showed off the special abilities of the killers, the organizers no longer seemed to want to hide their intentions, and he used the scene in the hall of the Nehlet family manor to show all the duelists that this game was not a simple chase, and that the killers were not mentally retarded people who could only wield chainsaws.

They have all sorts of strange abilities, they know how to use psychological tactics, and even now, it seems that they may be able to find their place in religious texts.

The Gothic hall is very large, with a high dome, dark gray stone bricks covered with dark green and gold carpets, and the surrounding walls are fixed with intricate and sharp candelabras, like outstretched ghost claws, echoing the olive-green silk hanging from the surrounding columns, as if in a cold forest.

In the middle of the hall stood a group of strangely dressed odd men, some dressed like Roman Orthodox priests, some dressed in wizards' robes and holding a heavy wooden staff, some dressed like Victorian detectives haunting Baker Street, and others opening their heavy suitcases and computers to monitor nearby radio waves with sophisticated instruments.

"It's not haunted, is it?" Natasha said with some uncertainty, she looked around and could barely guess what kind of road these people were, which region they were from, and whether they had real skills.

The last one is the best guess, because no one with real skills will dress up as if they want to put their own family on their face to show that they are very orthodox.

Natasha elbowed Batman next to her and asked, "Can you handle ghosts?" ”

Batman was silent and didn't answer, and he didn't even look like he was thinking, he just swept his sharp gaze over everyone present, as if he could really determine the other person's family tree by looking at their appearances.

This side is also paying attention to whether there are any strange existences in the crowd, or whether there are more abnormal existences in this group of strange people.

After looking around, the two Batmen came to the conclusion at the same time that the weirdest thing here is still their own group.

The image of Batman is not exaggerated, but Natasha wears a sweatshirt and Schiller wears a white coat, which is incompatible with the demons and monsters in the hall.

What made them even more eye-catching was that soon the old butler came over, led the group to the side hall alone, and on the way to the destination, the old butler also said: "Although there is no grand banquet, there is also a simple reception banquet, the Nehlet family will not be slow to treat guests from afar, you can go to freshen up and rest first, and when the reception banquet begins, there will be a special waiter to pick up." ”

Batman could instantly feel several unkind glances in the hall projecting at them.

This group of strangely dressed and strange people are the kind of people who are very typical of not having any ability, but only providing psychological comfort for some rich people who are stupid and have a lot of money through their own eccentricities.

In their eyes, all those who come here are competitors, and it is better for everyone else to be kicked out and left alone to swallow the huge thank-you gifts.

But now there is a team of people who have received special courtesy from the main family, is it possible that the other party can act better than himself?

In the face of these gazes, Batman didn't feel the slightest anger, but his steps were still a little hesitant, because he was thinking about whether it was necessary to remind the group that there might be a terrifying murderer in the manor.

They are the players participating in the game, so of course they know that there will be murderers here, and the killers will not only kill them, but more likely indiscriminately, then this group of people in the hall will be dangerous.

Just as Batman was about to act, a group of waiters stepped out of the other side door, led everyone else back to the room, and said similar things to the old butler.

This succeeded in attracting the attention of everyone else, after all, some of them were not wealthy, and some of them could even be called poor, and a sumptuous reception feast was already a reward for them.

Watching the crowd disperse one after another, each returning to their respective rooms, Batman quickened his pace, he thought, when the crowd gathers, engaging in mass slaughter is the worst situation, although the crowd is also dangerous, but it is better for himself to solve.

The old butler led them to the door of the four rooms at the end of the corridor on the second floor, and Schiller glanced at the window of the corridor, and he saw that it was supposed to be the garden of the manor.

So he took the initiative to go to the door of the nearest room to the right of the head, and said that he chose this room, and the old butler stretched out a hand to signal him to please, and Schiller opened the door.

It is also a guest bedroom that is not much different from Wayne Manor, except that the décor of the room is in cool tones, and there are no warm decorations, not even dark red earth brown, only dark blue, dark green, olive green and turquoise black, which looks simple and heavy.

In the middle of the room was a large European bed with dark green silk sheets, with a bed frame around it, and sharp cabinets on either side of the bed, on which were some of the more obscure texts.

The bedroom has three large Gothic floor-to-ceiling windows, and in front of the door is a single sofa and a small coffee table, but they are also in dark fabrics, leather and metal, and there is not a single hint of modern design in sight.

The light source throughout the room is even more exaggerated, with basically only the fireplace and candles on one side of the wall providing the light.

The glass was somehow foggy, the natural light was basically impenetrable, the repeated shape of the Gothic candlestick and the large dead weight were destined not to use too thick candles, Schiller stepped forward to take a look, and found that it was animal fat wax, and the way it was handled was quite retro, resulting in unstable flames, and the firewood in the fireplace was also relatively rough, causing the fire in the whole room to flicker.

Schiller stepped forward and touched the sheets, the fireplace was not far from the bed, but the bed was still cold, he went to the window and looked at the garden, but he actually saw through the glass that in the garden downstairs, there was a little girl with a pale face standing under the flower pavilion, staring directly at his room.

Schiller frowned slightly, like every protagonist in a horror movie, looked at the little girl with some surprise and some hesitation, and then wrote a line with his finger on the mist of glass: "Who are you?" ”

The little girl continued to stare straight at Schiller, until Schiller wrote, "Are you all right?" ”

The little girl just made a lip shape, and she said, "Get out of here."

Schiller sighed, went to either side of the window, closed the curtains, and stopped looking at the garden, when there was a knock on his door, and a black manservant appeared outside the door.

"Hello sir, the suit that you have made to your size before you came, it is a dark brown three-piece suit, I am here to ask you about the style of the tie and if there are any other requirements, do you need anything?"

Schiller paused and said, "I hope it's a dark green or blue silk tie, and if you can, give me a swordfish brooch." ”

The black manservant seemed to be slightly surprised, but after a little thought, he reminded with some hesitation: "Sir, we have prepared enough costumes to meet your requirements, but maybe Mr. Nehlet will be back at noon today." ”

"Of course, Mr. Nehlet was a fairly enlightened man, but his brother Hancock ...... Well, I know that's not what I'm supposed to say, and if you need this, I'll tell the housekeeper. ”

"But our brooch styles may not please you, so do you have any alternatives? I'll bring them all when the time comes, and you can choose and wear them yourself. ”

"Perhaps, hummingbird brooches?"

"Okay, please wait."

After ten minutes, the waiter brought a suitcase containing clothes and a brooch plate with all kinds of brooches, all kinds of suit brooches such as birds, fish, classical sun, etc., and some button decorations.

Schiller changed his clothes and found that there was no full-length mirror in the bedroom, so he pulled back the curtains and tied his tie with the help of the reflection of the glass.

He saw the pale little girl again, and this time she didn't stare directly at Schiller, but sat on the swing next to the flower pavilion, her head bowed and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, a waiter ran over, as if he wanted to take the little girl away, but the little girl shook her head, and the waiter also showed some fear of approaching, so he could only turn around and leave.

Schiller stared at him for a moment, and then found that the little girl turned her head sharply to look at him, her eyes were still a little empty and numb, and with her pale face, she looked very mad.

Schiller wrote on the window glass: "If you have any trouble, please come here to me, and if there is no trouble, then come and have a cup of tea." ”

The little girl could see from her eyes that she was reading this passage carefully, but she didn't seem to understand, not because she didn't understand the meaning of the words, but because she didn't understand how Schiller could say these words.

Straightening his tie, Schiller looked at the brooch tray on top of the shoe cabinet in the doorway.

Hummingbirds represent good signs in the West, so they are easily used as decorative elements in some ornaments and are quite popular with women, while sailfish are considered a symbol of strength due to their extreme speed and strong body in the ocean, and are usually a decorative element that superiors and men are willing to wear.

These two brooches are not very rare, although not as common as flowers and suns, but there are several styles to choose from, Schiller had his eyes on the sailfish brooch, but his fingers ran over the shiny brooch plate, and finally picked up a small but all-gold hummingbird brooch and placed it in the center of his suit pocket.

Sorting out the details of his costume, Schiller walked back to the window, but instead of standing in the middle of the window, he stood on the side of the curtain, looking at the garden at an oblique angle.

The little girl no longer stood or sat on the swing in a daze, she walked to the side of the bushes and stared at another figure, a boy slightly older than her.

The boy shrank behind the porch, and as soon as he took a step, the little girl clenched her hands, stretched out her head vigorously and screamed at him with a very piercing scream, and her mouth made some unstructured sounds, and kept waving her arms, describing the posture as particularly terrifying.

The boy seemed frightened, stamped his feet on the spot, ran back to call someone, and soon a group of waiters rushed out and took the little girl away from the scene.

Schiller watched all this silently, but his focus was different from that of the gods who also saw the farce from the window, or rather, they noticed one thing, only a different opinion.

Schiller saw that six middle-aged maids with a height rushed up, and there was no way to completely hold down the little girl for a while, and it was only later that two more male servants came and successfully carried the little girl away.
