Chapter 241: Bloody Castle 22
The not very spacious part of the cage is occupied by thorn vines.
Josh had to climb up with the help of the cage's railing.
Quickly sideways to avoid the vines.
The slender figure nimbly dodged the vines on the ground in the small cage.
But no matter how flexible it is, it can't withstand the successive attacks.
Josh's energy was rapidly depleted.
She struggled to cling to the cage's railing, avoiding the vines, but her speed was so slow that she had a cut in her arm.
The vines curled around her slender ankles, as if trying to drag her to the ground.
Josh's eyes quickly grasped the railing, his ankles tangled in thorny vines, tugging up and down.
At her ankles, thorny barbs pierced her skin, and blood trickled down to the ground, splattering with blood.
"Hmm......" The person on the bed suddenly rolled over, as if he was disturbed by a slight movement.
The vines quickly retracted into the ground and vanished.
Josh fell to the floor, frowning in pain.
She hurriedly climbed to the cushion next to her and sat down, looking at the wound on her foot.
"I haven't gotten to arrest anyone yet, the little guy has fallen into my cage by himself." The man's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just woken up.
Josh looked up, but it was pitch black in front of her, as if something was trying to prevent her from seeing the other person's face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to break into your territory." Josh said.
The man walked over to the cage and unlocked it.
Josh vigilantly put the knife behind him and watched as the dark-faced man walked in, leaned over and picked her up and placed her on the couch outside.
It doesn't look malicious.
Josh looked at him quietly.
This NPC looks like she's seen it in her study before, and it sounds like it.
She asked tentatively, "Did we meet in the study?" ”
The other party didn't answer her, just grabbed her ankle and drugged her.
Josh was about to say something, but the other party suddenly interrupted her: "How did you get in?" ”
Josh said truthfully: "I accidentally fell into a tunnel and slipped in." ”
The man said, "You went to that room?" ”
"Which one?" Josh looked at a dark shadow in front of him, "Do you mean the toy room?" ”
The shadow didn't say anything more, just rang the bell at the bedside and told her, "Don't go near that room next time." ”
Soon a maid was summoned in.
The maids had strange expressions, as if they were frightened and in awe, and when they came in, they picked up Josh and withdrew.
Josh was sent back to his room, and someone kindly brought fresh food.
That is, is it okay for her not to eat at the restaurant at noon?
The man seemed to be a very crucial figure.
The maid soon brought another bowl of tender red soup, which smelled of roses mixed with a subtle hint of blood.
Josh frowned slightly: "What is this?" ”
The maid respectfully said, "It's rose juice, apply this to the wound, and it will be healed soon." ”
Josh wanted to say something, but they had already retreated, as if they were afraid that Josh would ask something.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she looked at the contents of the bowl suspiciously.
The man didn't seem to have much ill will towards her.
She thought about it, didn't hesitate, and poured rose juice over the wound.
There was a cool touch from the wound, and then her wound healed quickly.
It's the first time she's seen something so magical.
But it's not unusual to think that this is in a dungeon.
She got out of bed and moved, and no one at the wound felt any discomfort.
It seems that she is still lucky, and it can be said that she has a full harvest in the morning.
She brushed up on the chef's favorability, got the prince's diary, unlocked the prince's tragic childhood, and came into contact with the mysterious NPC.
She had a hunch that that NPC must be very important.
It all seemed to be going a little too well for her.
I don't know if it's her delusion, but I always feel that this copy is favoring her intentionally or unintentionally, and everything is going very smoothly.
She got up and went out and checked in with Thomas to change rooms.
She killed three people in the morning, and she could change rooms at will.
When she arrived at Thomas's office, she didn't see anyone, she grabbed a maid and asked, and was told that Thomas was weeding the yard with someone.
She soon went out into the yard and saw the brambles and roses being pulled out with great fanfare.
There was also a fire nearby, and the maids were burning the thorns that had been pulled out.
The sky was windy, whirring, and Josh could faintly hear the screams of vines.
She walked up to Thomas: "Mr. Thomas." ”
When Thomas saw that it was her, he was a lot more respectful: "Miss Josh." ”
Josh was a little surprised by his unusual attitude, but asked quietly on his face, "Why do you suddenly want to weed?" Aren't these thorns and roses very nice in the courtyard? ”
Thomas smiled respectfully: "It's His Highness's order, saying that these thorns are easy to scratch people, so don't plant them." ”
As soon as the words fell, the flames of the fire next to him suddenly flew up, like some kind of powerless struggle.
Thomas hurriedly took Josh aside: "Stand here, don't get burned by the flames." ”
He spoke warmly, but when his eyes swept to the flames next to him, his eyes were as cold as quenched ice.
The flames instantly calmed down a lot.
Josh looked at these quietly, and suddenly smiled: "In this way, it is still important for His Highness's order, I am here to change the room, this is the room key." ”
Thomas took the key in her hand and smiled: "You have been the first to come over to change rooms for several days in a row, and you have done well, I will change you to a superior bedroom now, and then you don't have to change rooms with other people, you can have full access to the bedroom." ”
Josh took the key in his hand and glanced at it: "This is...... A room on the fourth floor? ”
Thomas smiled and nodded.
Josh narrowed his eyes: "I remember that the room on the fourth floor is where His Highness lives, right?" ”
Thomas smiled unchanged: "Of course, more than that, some new VIP rooms have recently been opened, and only guests who perform well can get the right to live on the fourth floor." ”
Obviously, the other party was determined to change her to live on the fourth floor.
Josh smiled and accepted the key, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Thomas. ”
In other words, from today onwards, she doesn't need to change rooms anymore.
"It's not fair!" A woman's shrill voice suddenly sounded next to him.
Josh thought that another female ghost had come out in broad daylight, but turned her head to see Mina standing behind her.
"Miss Mina." Josh smiled politely.
The teams of the two twins were wiped out, and only she and Mina, the two living little girls, were left in all the teams.
Mina was so angry that she ran over and asked, "Why can Josh sleep in the rooms on the fourth floor, but we can only sleep in those haunted rooms?" Did you know that since I came to this castle, I haven't slept for a day! My dark circles were as heavy as if I had been punched twice! ”
Josh asked curiously, "Why don't you sleep?" (End of chapter)
