Chapter 24: The Battle of the Red and White Queens 10

The castle was quiet. Through the back door, there is an uncovered corridor that ends in a hall on the first floor, flanked by a kitchen, a storehouse, and the servants' quarters.

Unlike the outside of the castle, which was strewn with blood and at least five or six corpses, the inside of the castle was unusually clean. From the wide open kitchen door, you can see that the fire in the kitchen is still burning, but only a little ember remains, slowly drifting smoke, and there is a water scoop thrown on the ground, and there is half a bowl of water in it, just like the kitchen person is fetching water, just scooping out a scoop of water, the person suddenly disappears, leaving the fire and the water scoop on the ground.

The six of them continued down the hallway, walking towards the living room, the crystal chandelier above their heads was still on, there were a few sofa seats on the right side of the hall, and on the left were rows of long tables covered with delicate white tablecloths and various kinds of food on top.

"It's kind of weird." Liu Shiqin whispered, and the voice was only heard by a few people nearby.

"It's true that the outside feels like a massacre, but inside the castle it feels like everyone has suddenly disappeared." Wei Yang looked left and right, thinking of the tragic situation outside, and couldn't control the cold war.

In the communication room, the six people had already walked around the living room, and found nothing unusual, and the spiral staircase in front of the living room extended up, leading to various rooms on the second floor.

"At the moment, the people in this castle have disappeared suddenly, and the time is the same as the death time of the crowd on the path." Chen Huan put down the cup in his hand, the water that could keep warm all day was already warm at this time, and the time for the people in the living room to disappear was about a day.

"Let's split up and look for the room on the second floor to see if there's any clue, or if we can find Alice."

"Okay."

"No problem."

Everyone else agreed with Chen Huan's opinion and looked at Wen Ruo.

"I'm fine." Wen Ruo nodded

"That's it, call for help in time if you encounter any situation, whether you find clues or not, and in fifteen minutes, we will gather here."

Chen Huan advised carefully, especially Wei Yang, who was more curious.

"Got it, got it." Wei Yang waved his hand and gestured to everyone with the Kunwu sword hanging on his back

"It's not with Kungo."

In a clockwise direction, each person has an inspection area, divides each person's responsible part and the meeting time, and the six people disperse.

Wen Ruo went upstairs, she was assigned to a few rooms at the end of the second floor, clenched the gun in her hand, and slowly approached with her body against the wall.

"There's no one in these rooms."

A grinning cat suddenly appeared on Wen Ruo's shoulder.

The hand holding the gun was tense and did not lift.

"I thought you left the passage."

After meeting Chen Huan and the others, the rhythm has been so tight that Wen Ruo ignores that Chester came to the surface world with her.

"I just don't want to deal with so many people, you know, cats are more arrogant." Chester spun around in the air.

"Even if I was there, I wouldn't have helped much." With a remark, Chester's smiling face appeared in front of Wen Ruo

"Now I can help, there is no Alice in these rooms, the whole castle is gone, and your teammates are doomed to nothing."

Wen Ruo opened the door of a room, it was empty, various styles of clothes were thrown on the ground in a mess, and the owner of the room seemed to be choosing clothes, for meeting his sweetheart, or other important occasions.

With Chester's words, Wen Ruo clenched his gun and quickly opened the doors of the remaining rooms, all of which were just as empty, whether it was in the cabinet or in the bathroom, there was no sign of hiding.

"Do you know where Alice is?"

Wen Ruo closed the door and left, and it only took five minutes to explore the demarcated area.

"Yes, she's hiding in the basement."

Knowing Alice's whereabouts, Wen Ruo didn't search any more, returned to the meeting place first, took a look at the time, and waited for the others to come back first.

"Wen Ruo? Why are you so fast, it can't be that you haven't checked it well! "Wei Yang was the first to come back, and the position he was assigned was the closest to the meeting location, so he naturally came back the fastest, but Wen Ruo came back so quickly.

"I'm done, and I'm back."

"What are you talking about?" Chen Huan also ended the search, saw Weiyang and Wen Ruo chatting, and asked

"I'm asking Wen Ruo how he came back so quickly."

Wei Yang pursed his lips, obviously not believing Wen Ruogang's words.

During the conversation, Wei Qiuling, Wu Heng and Liu Shiqin also came back.

"Did you find anything?"

"No, no people, no signs of a fight, just like what I found earlier, they all disappeared suddenly."

"Me too."

"Same."

Chen Huan noticed that Wen Ruo hadn't spoken yet, and thought that Wei Yang said that Wen Ruo was the first to come back.

"Wen Ruo, what did you find?"

Wen Ruo nodded, she was silent just now thinking about where the basement of the castle was.

"The area to explore is the same as yours, there is no trace, but with Alice's clues, she is in the basement of the castle."

Wei Yang's eyes lit up, wasn't that what they were exploring the castle for.

"Are you sure? How do you know? Where's the basement? If we find Alice, we can go back to completing the mission! ”

The machine-gun-like questions were thrown out one by one, and Wei Yang grabbed Wei Qiuling's arm, looking excited.

"Brother, you just need to know some questions, why do you ask so much."

Wei Qiuling pulled Wei Yang's momentum to ask in time, Wei Yang was sometimes too nervous, and he wouldn't pay attention to the fact that some of the questions he asked involved other people's privacy, this is in the copy, if there are any secret methods, of course he won't tell others, even if it's the five of them, who doesn't have a secret?

"Anyway, now that I finally know Alice's location, I'm one step closer to completing the dungeon." Liu Shiqin clasped her hands and put them in front of her, praying that everyone would be able to pass the copy as soon as possible.

"There was a study on the second floor, and it was just within the range of my search, and I saw a structural drawing of the castle hanging in it." Wen Ruo's gaze circled around the living room, "The location of the basement - there." ”

The crowd followed the direction of their fingers, and there was the staircase.

Wen Ruo took the lead, walked to the staircase, and on the flat ground under the first step, he could see that there was a trace of inconsistency, as if the color of the texture of a certain piece of floor was a few degrees different from the adjacent one, and the consistency of the texture was also lacking.

This is it. Wen Ruo crouched down, fingers groping on the ground.

Got it!

There's a button-sized button on the floor that you can press hard.

A piece of floor above ground moved abruptly, revealing a sloping staircase leading to the ground. The walls on both sides are equipped with dark lights, and the faint light is pushed deeper and deeper.

"Let's go." After waiting for a few minutes, there was no movement, and Wen Ruo took the lead in entering the tunnel.

"Wait for me! You're a girl, and you still have to be a boy to find a way. Wei Yang chased after her, pulled Wen Ruo's Gebo, and pulled her back.

Wen Ruo didn't answer yet, his body was pulled behind by Wei Yang, and he took a few steps back, this petite body is really not what I want, I complained in my heart, but my face was still indifferent.
