23, it has to be hard

"Let's go."

Buck took the lead, flashlight, and headed deeper into the winding path.

Nie Yuan didn't hesitate, and took Nancy's little hand and followed.

It's not that he suddenly became bold and wanted to express himself, but if he didn't keep up, he would have to go back later......

When the time comes, it's even more terrifying, who knows if it's going to be walking, and the people are gone.

Follow in Buck's footsteps, and there's a backpad behind him, or two.

That's Mr. Gustav, big and small, with their broad shoulders and majestic bodies, able to help themselves and Nancy, completely in front of them.

And he can always keep his eyes on himself, and he will not let the sudden loss of people be openly staged in front of his eyes.

For the strength of his companions, Nie Yuan still has deep trust, and he can rest assured that he will hand over his back to them.

It's not that Nie Yuan instigated him, and he had to let his companions back him, but that he didn't have the power to protect himself at all.

If you have to let me come, then you can only move forward in seeking refuge, and you can't joke with your own life, right?

After walking up the winding path for about two hundred meters, the four of them opened up a little in front of them, and there were fewer weeds around, and a flat road appeared, compactly spliced with stone slabs, to the gate of Alston Castle.

Nie Yuan also saw clearly from this that the true appearance of this ancient castle, although the mottled traces on the walls and the moss that had obviously not been cleaned up, all told the long history of this castle, but in various senses, it was still majestic and majestic, with the sense of heaviness that a castle should have.

It's just that compared with the identity of the owner in it, it is really a bit condescending for him to come and live for a long time in such an ancient castle.

When it comes to Auston Castle, everyone will immediately think of the majestic and exquisite white giant in the large manor house located in the center of Rui Eucalyptus City, in the most prosperous area.

Nowadays, when we talk about Alston Castle, we only think of a place outside the suburbs, far from the bustle of the city, and we have to walk through an overgrown path.

Because there is only this one property in the name, the old castle located in the suburbs is naturally called Auston Castle after the owner's name.

Heading straight to the closed door, Buck closed his eyes, as if feeling something, and said, "I was right, here's a key ingredient for forging your heart." ”

Buck didn't look back, but Nie Yuan definitely knew that he was saying this to himself, and who else lacked a heart.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "So, the 'Biomechanical Energy Core' you commissioned from Count Lilian is also ......"

"Yes, it's all the materials you need."

"What is the material hidden in the castle?"

"If you see it, it seems to be much more powerful than I thought, knock on the door Gustav."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The burly Monsieur Gustav walked straight up when he heard this, and with his huge fan-sized hand, he began to slam the gate of the castle.

The huge echo resounded in the middle of the night, and the dust on the gate was also gargled and fell under the great force.

People can't help but worry a little about whether the door, which originally looked relatively thick, would be directly smashed by Mr. Gustav.

It's a humanoid ram......

You can see through the gap in the gate that there is no one in the castle on the first floor.

Because it was pitch black, no light could be seen leaking out of it.

Gustav withdrew his palm and said, "It seems that no one wants me to push it away?" ”

Buck shook his head and said, "No, damaging the gate will make us look very rude, and if the city lord of Auston is inside, he must have heard our visit." ”

Can you not hear it, as long as you are not deaf.

I just knocked on the door, and I didn't know that I thought it was a siege.

Sure enough, not long after Buck finished speaking, a male voice came from the brightly lit room above the castle.

"Who?"

Buck first said to Nie Yuan and the others, "It's the city lord of Auston, I remember his voice. ”

Then he tilted his head and replied, "We were commissioned by Count Lillian to take the paperwork from the royal city. ”

There was silence on it for a while.

Then the voice came again, "Wait a minute, I'll let you open the door." ”

Buck replied, "Okay, trouble. ”

After waiting for about two or three minutes, everyone saw a light spilling through the crack in the door, and someone turned on the light in the hall.

Then there was a steady sound of footsteps, more and more distinct, echoing through the open space of the castle.

Click.

Click.

Click.

The sound of footsteps gave a dull and stiff impression until it turned into a shadow that appeared at the other side of the gate, obscuring some of the spilled light.

Then, there was a long silence.

The person inside didn't move, didn't he come to open the door?

This made Nie Yuanhu very suspicious, he had come here, but he was not very nervous.

Barker, Nancy and the others are all by their side, can they still be swallowed alive by you?

Sometimes, it's not just panic that is contagious, but so is calm.

The companions were so breezy and even full of interest, that Nie Yuan's pretended calmness began to be difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Anyway, he won't let the scenes in vulgar horror movies play in himself.

What to go to the toilet has to go alone.

What night when you sleep alone, and when you find something abnormal, you don't call your partner, but you go to die alone.

That's impossible, okay, even if you pee on the bedding, you won't go to the claustrophobic toilet alone.

Something that doesn't exist.

It's just that the current situation is still very weird, which makes Nie Yuan unclear.

He knew that there was someone inside the door less than a meter away from him and the others.

The people inside the door also knew that there was someone waiting outside the door, and they knew that the people outside the door knew that he was inside.

They were even able to see each other's figures clearly, but they were stalemate, and no one followed up.

Nie Yuan couldn't help but want to urge, but before he could speak, he felt that the shadow behind the crack in the door began to shift.

If you look closely, it is the person inside, silently, gradually leaning his head towards the crack in the door, and then putting one eye on the crack in the door, observing the late-night visitors outside.

It was a somewhat bloodshot eye, and it stared at Nie Yuan and them through the crack in the door.

Motionless!

However, Nie Yuan found out treacherously that this ......

It doesn't seem to be as scary as I imagined.

If you have a heart now, according to this state, I am afraid that the frequency of the heart beating will not change much.

The previous fear was more about scaring yourself, but when you were there, you felt that it was like that.

It seems that this should be the stability and calmness that my body and my current identity should have.

What kind of appalling demons and monsters, stand aside.

It's all inferior monsters.

Is it worth letting the descendants of the old gods tremble for you?

After discovering that he was in the scene, his earlier idea of scaring himself was suddenly swept away, and looking at the thing inside, he didn't know what he was grinding, Nie Yuan couldn't help but say:

"Hurry up!"

Ooh!

Nancy was very cooperative, and put the flashlight in her hand directly on the crack of the door, shining directly on the bloodshot eye.

I don't know if I'm mistaken, Nie Yuan seems to have seen that eye, and suddenly closed it under the dazzling flashlight that suddenly came up, probably because he was stupid.

Nancy grinned and said cruel words seriously:

"Nie Yuan, let you hurry up! Hurry up! Or gouge out your eyes! ”

As if implicated, or perhaps grumpy Mr. Gustav, he had been waiting impatiently.

After Nancy said this, Mr. Gustav also slammed on the door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Threatened in a deep voice:

"Nie Yuan and Nancy tell you to hurry up! Hurry up! Otherwise, I'll shoot you into a meatloaf! ”

Silent late night.

A deep castle.

Isolated suburbs.

The chain reaction that suddenly erupted from everyone, like a ghost howling wolf, instantly broke the claustrophobic silence of the night.

Let a group of people like them look even more terrifying than the weird things in the door.

As if they were the most undoubted horrors in the world!

Boom~~~

Suddenly, Gustav's heavy hand slapped into the air, and he slammed the door open.

It should be that the lock on the door inside was removed, and the owner of the bloodshot eyes finally couldn't bear the indignation of everyone.

The door opened.

Really.

Are demons and monsters also bullying the soft and afraid of the hard?

It's got to be hard......

"Don't you owe it?"

Nie Yuan couldn't help but complain.
