Josh opened his eyes and saw the castle in front of him.

It's like a witch's castle in a fairy tale full of dark elements, surrounded by withered and blackened thorn plants.

But among the thorns bloomed red roses richer than blood.

The whole castle is fenced off by a courtyard, and there are some strange toys and wood carvings in the courtyard, like things to make children happy, all of which are discarded at will.

The clouds were low in the sky, and the occasional lightning flashed by, as if a torrential rain was going to fall at any moment.

The smell of dampness wafted through the air, mixed with the smell of rust after some kind of decay and roses, which was particularly pungent.

Josh glanced around, first stunned, then quickly curled the corners of his lips.

It's kind of interesting.

In addition to the four teammates, there were seven people standing diagonally opposite, and it looked like there should have been two additional teams, all standing in small groups.

Josh was caught by one of the teams, which consisted of just four people, two men and two women.

Interestingly, the two boys look exactly the same, and the two girls also look exactly the same, looking like two sets of twins.

The team of 4 on the other side is both male and female, and they look like fresh faces.

However, there is no hard competition between the different teams in this team.

If you want to clear the dungeon, you can choose to survive for 7 days and clear the dungeon directly without participating in any competition, or you can choose to find the dungeon hidden items, or clear the dungeon after completing the hidden achievement.

But if it's really that peaceful, it's not a god-making game.

Josh pondered in his heart that since this comprehensive book contains strong rules, it is very likely that there will be some rules that guide them to kill each other and something.

Rob trembled and hugged Josh's hand, and the tall man of 185 shrank next to Josh, who was less than 1.6 meters, looking extremely petite: "It's scary, will there be a female ghost?" Little tactician, I'm afraid! ”

Josh patted his head, "It's okay, female ghosts generally like to pick strong men to inhale yang qi, you are safe." ”

Rob: "Boom......"

The gate of the castle was pushed open with a "creak", and a slender middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo suit vest and boots, and a white wig on his head stepped out.

His face was grayish-white, as if he had not seen the sun in many years, the blood vessels on his face were almost visible, and his cheeks were so thin that he looked like he had just escaped from a refugee camp.

He stood in front of everyone and bowed his head slightly gracefully: "Greetings distinguished guests, I am the steward of this castle, Thomas Byron, you can call me Thomas." Come in, the kitchen has prepared a sumptuous dinner for you. ”

He led the people in.

As soon as you enter the castle, the temperature around you drops suddenly.

The light also became dim.

Surrounded by women in dusty floor-length maid dresses and lace aprons, they were busy working back and forth, but their faces were very blank and expressionless, like puppet tools that had been designed in advance.

The castle is lit only by candlesticks on the walls, and the floor is a dark gray carved with ornate and intricate patterns, which makes the whole castle more and more lifeless and gloomy.

The ornate carved windows were mostly closed, and the roses and thorns outside were swept into the air by the wind, and their reflections were reflected in the windows and fell to the ground, like some kind of sharp monster that had been pulled and twisted and deformed, and its teeth and claws were fluttering.

Walking through the ornate but dark and oppressive corridors, they were led to a closed dining room, which was empty, except for a long table in the middle, which was filled with sumptuous and sweet food, and a delicate rose candlestick in the middle of the table, illuminating the whole long table.

There are no more, no less, exactly twelve seats at the table.

Josh looked into the room quietly.

The walls of the dining room are covered with dark green gilt wallpaper and six oil paintings on each side.

On the oil paintings are portraits of men and women, with different expressions and postures, but most of them have one characteristic.

The eyes of the people in these paintings fall on the central dining table, which corresponds to the twelve positions.

The crowd took their seats.

The oil painting on the wall directly opposite Josh is a portrait of a young girl, staring at her expressionlessly, her hands pulled at the edge of the frame.

Obviously he has an expressionless demeanor, but the eyeballs of his eyes are extraordinarily large and exaggerated, and his eyes are full of bloodshots, as if he has been staring at his eyes for a long time, and his eyes are uncontrollably dry but he can't close them.

Someone next to him also noticed the content of the oil painting, and dragged the person next to him in horror: "This painting is so scary, let's change positions, I always feel that it is staring at me." ”

The man laughed: "Fool, this is just the beginning, and you are scared?" ”

Although there was helplessness in his tone, he still changed places with her.

Thomas stood at the end of the long table and looked at everyone: "Distinguished guests, welcome to the castle, there are a few precautions here I must tell you in advance. ”

There was silence on the table.

Thomas smiled slightly, very satisfied with everyone's cooperation: "I will provide rooms for everyone tonight, each person's room is numbered, and the style of the room is different.

In order to make the experience more complete for everyone, starting tomorrow night, everyone will have to change to a different room, and they can only choose the ones they have not stayed in.

Secondly, don't go out after 9 p.m. every night, there will be other small things visiting the castle, and we can only ensure the safety of the guests who stay in the guest rooms.

Finally, don't go near the attic, otherwise we can't guarantee anything unpleasant.

By the way, the food is timed and rationed every day, 8 o'clock in the morning, 12 noon, and 6 o'clock in the evening, each meal time is 15 minutes, please come to the meal on time and don't waste food. If you don't show up to eat, you will be punished for wasting food. I wish you all a happy meal~"

The butler withdrew.

As he left, the gloomy atmosphere of the restaurant grew stronger.

Josh stared keenly at the paintings on the wall, and the eyes on the paintings grew hotter and hotter as the butler went out.

It was as if I couldn't wait to crawl out of the frame.

The squeamish girl's voice sounded again: "What is this, it's disgusting!" We're not really going to eat these, are we? ”

Josh's eyes fell on the table, and he realized that the food on the plate was really weird.

The steak looks delicious and juicy, but if you look closely, you will find that the meat is covered in blood, and the tendons hidden in the beef are still beating faintly.

The seemingly rich and creamy mushroom soup is still bubbling on its own inexplicably, and the mushrooms are turned over to be an eyeball that can only blink.

Even if you look closely at the red liquid in the goblet, you will see that the thick liquid does not look like wine at all, but like some kind of fresh blood.

The spaghetti in the black pepper sauce in the disc even wriggled on its own, like an earthworm that hadn't died.

"Vomit ......" The girl couldn't help but vomit to her stomach.
