Chapter 5: Invitation to Death (2)
"Another one."
"Newcomer?"
Shi Zhen appeared from the hotel room in the lonely jungle. Before he could stand still, he recovered from the shock when he heard someone ask.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of the question.
Three men and two women.
In the center is a tall, burly man with a full beard.
When the man saw her face clearly, his eyes clearly flashed with surprise.
Shi Zhen didn't notice that her whole body was trembling, full of fear of unfamiliar surroundings and strangers.
The fingers that grabbed the bag and pinched it white.
A trembling voice asked, "W-Where is this?" ”
"Didn't you get the invitation?" The beard whispered and asked.
Shi Zhen stiffened and nodded: "You guys are also attending the prom?" ”
Got an affirmative answer from the beard.
Vera relaxed a little.
She began to look left and right: "It's a wood, it's weird." There is also no equipment stage......"
"Of course not. Because we haven't arrived at the castle yet. The girl with a handful of blue hair and a bad temper looked like she had her arms around her chest and sighed, "If you have any questions, I'll ask your team later." Time to go. ”
The beard looked up at the sky and said, "Time is running out." ”
"How are you grouped?"
Although the beard seemed to be asking for advice, his eyes kept locked on Shi Zhen, and the meaning was obvious.
The other four didn't fight with him, they were divided into groups and quickly matched.
The six of them began to advance towards the castle jutting out of the woods.
It was dark and gloomy.
After walking for a long time, I almost couldn't see the road clearly.
Fortunately, torches appeared in front of them, and they followed the light of the torches to the tall castle.
The white-haired butler, dressed in a black and white butler uniform, was already waiting outside the castle.
He bowed and saluted: "Welcome, distinguished guests. ”
"The castle was already prepared with delicious food, comfortable rooms, and a few people were able to trim themselves and get rid of fatigue after entering. By the way, tonight's dance party will start at 0:00, so please be on time. Remember to wear appropriate clothing. ”
After the butler finished speaking, he led the six people in.
It was overcast outside and the air was humid.
However, many candles were lit inside the castle to illuminate the interior.
The fire in the fireplace was burning vigorously, adding a lot of warmth to the guests who had just made the trek.
The long table in the center of the hall was filled with food.
They all exude heat and aroma.
"Goo-Goo......
Someone's stomach growled.
Shi Zhen looked over and saw that it was a girl with blue hair.
He glanced back viciously, holding his stomach down, but he didn't move.
The rest of the people, too, looked at the long table, vigilant.
As if those are not eaten, what a trap.
Shi Zhen's eyes flashed, she pressed her stomach and walked towards the long table.
Beard was about to call her back, but she was already sitting in a chair.
Shi Zhen picked up a small piece of steak with a fork and ate it.
The outside is a little charred, but the inside is soft and juicy, and the spices are just right, and it is very delicious.
Her eyes narrowed with satisfaction, and after she finished her mouthful, she excitedly shouted to the bearded men: "It's very delicious, you can try it too!" ”
The blue-haired girl showed a disgusted expression, hurriedly dropped the sentence "I'm not hungry" and walked towards the stairs and went upstairs.
The other three reacted similarly, although they didn't leave, but looking at Shi Zhen's expression, it seemed like they were looking at some kind of monster.
Only the beard looked at Shi Zhen seriously for a while, and saw that she did not show any discomfort, and walked over to sit beside her.
There was a plate of cut meat steak in front of Shi Zhen, and she took it away directly with her beard and ate it in a big gulp.
Shi Zhen's eyes were red aggrieved, and she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to go and serve a bowl of creamy soup garnished with rosemary.
Silky on the palate.
Sweet but not greasy.
She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, and when she had fully enjoyed the taste in her mouth, she was about to drink it again, when her hand was light, and the soup was snatched away by the beard.
There was a flash of red light in Shi Zhen's dark and deep eyes.
The nails, which were trimmed and harmless, seemed to have grown a little longer, becoming pointy and sharp.
But the displeasure was only for a few seconds, and Shi Zhen quickly went to get something else to eat.
The result is the same, no matter what she eats, as long as she eats two or three bites, she will be snatched away by the beard.
Fortunately, there are many kinds of castles prepared, and Shi Zhen is full of everything.
Pressing his hand on his belly, which was already slightly bulging, Shi Zhen stood up and yawned: "I'm so tired." I went to my room to rest. ”
The beard put down the food in his hand and stood up.
Shi Zhen didn't take it seriously, but when the beard wanted to follow her into the room, she finally couldn't help it, and said a little embarrassed: "It's not appropriate for you to be like this!" ”
Delicate and soft appearance, even angry, is weak.
Nothing threatening.
The beard directly brushed her hand away and walked in.
Shi Zhen was annoyed and helpless, standing at the door, neither advancing nor retreating.
A few others heard the commotion and came out to watch, but no one said anything. No one even wanted to help.
Coldly retracted again.
Shi Zhen bit her lip, not knowing what to do.
In the room, the beard was already lying comfortably on the big bed: "This scene is difficult. ”
"If you don't have my protection, you'll die the first night."
"The invitation was given to you by someone else, right? You don't even know what it is, and you think it's a normal prom. ”
"Isn't it?" Shi Zhen asked with an unsteady breath.
"Huh." Beard smiled mockingly and asked, "Have you offended people lately?" It's the kind of person who wants you to die. Don't deny it, newcomers like you who don't know anything are brought in and sent to death. After all, in reality, murder has to be done without regard to the law, and in the game, it has nothing to do with it. ”
Shi Zhen's face became very ugly.
She could barely stand on her feet, slumping on the carpet in the doorway.
Short sobs rang out.
However, she stopped before she could get impatient, she raised her tear-stained face to look at Luo Hu, and muttered, "It has nothing to do with me, it really wasn't me who killed Zhu Shao." ”
A few words from the beard, originally just wanted to break Shi Zhen's psychological defense, let her rely on herself, obey herself, and then, open a meat.
I didn't expect to hear Shi Zhen say the name "Zhu Shao".
He sat up suddenly: "That Zhu Shao who committed suicide in the live broadcast?" ”
Shi Zhen nodded.
Raising the back of his hand to wipe away his tears, he stumbled towards his beard: "Please, help me, I don't want to die, it really has nothing to do with me......"
The beard bounced up to avoid it.
At this moment, he looked at Shi Zhen, as if he was looking at some kind of flood beast.
He walked out of the room briskly, not looking back.
Shi Zhen sat in the room "in despair" and "helplessly" and "wept".
She cried until the dance began in the evening.
"Distinguished guests, it's time to go downstairs."
The housekeeper knocked on the door in turn to remind him.
Attitude is respectful and humble.
However, when he saw that the guests who came out did not put on the clothes carefully prepared by the castle, the butler's face changed suddenly: "You are going to the ball like this?" Uncouth! Rude! ”
"There are no such guests in the castle!"
The girl with the blue hair wanted to distinguish something, but when she heard the latter sentence, she was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped back; "I'm going to change it, don't drive me away!"
The butler then put down his hand that was about to grab her, and waited at the door.
Seeing this, the people in the other rooms didn't dare to rub in, and went back to change their clothes.
A few minutes later, they came out dressed freshly.
The butler nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, I hope the distinguished guests have a pleasant evening." ”
The butler was ready to lead everyone down.
The blue-haired girl suddenly pointed at Shi Zhen and shouted, "Wait! She hasn't changed her clothes yet! ”
