The second night came, and only a team of four was left to spend the night outside the castle as planned. Together, they carefully moved their beds out of the garden, choosing a place not too far from the castle to lay their beds.

There was very little communication between the members of the team, and from the beginning, it had always been Lu Tianming's habit to analyze problems, but he rarely kept quiet at this moment. Both Lu Tianming and Wan Ning believe that the other may pose a threat. They all acted very calmly, but Lu Tianming played the role of leader, while Wan Ning preferred to keep her thoughts to herself. Wan Ning not only discovers the mission-critical item "Diary of Lyon the Butler", but also shows the occasional sharp thinking ability. Lu Tianming did not underestimate this seemingly beautiful young girl.

Unable to determine the real culprit, and facing the threat of Ah Feng hiding in the shadows, this small team maintains a delicate balance.

Right now, there may be murderers inside them, and there may be monsters outside. Wanning can only rely on the strength of the team, which is the price of weakness. At one point, she even considered a radical plan to kill everyone and become the only survivor, but the idea was only fleeting because she was not sociopathic. The values of the real world made it impossible for her to put them into practice. Moreover, even if she really had this idea, her slender physique would not be able to compete with these few people.

There was no moon shining at night, and the sky was overcast, but fortunately it did not rain. The four of them did not dare to make a fire, sat on the ground, and kept a certain distance from each other. The castle became a black threat in the night, and Wan Ning calmed the dagger in her pocket to add a sense of security to herself.

"It's almost 12 o'clock!" Xu Min quietly glanced at the time on his phone and said.

Unsure of the danger outside, the four of them were afraid to sleep, and they prepared to survive the night. The breeze whipped the branches and grass, triggering their vigilance, and the double pressure of mental tension and exhaustion made their nights full of suffering.

"When will this end?" Xu Min sighed tiredly, she hadn't eaten all day, and she stayed up late, her body had reached its limit, and she had already asked Lu Tianming for food many times.

Lu Tianming looked at her condition, felt pity, broke off a small piece of bread and handed it to her, and poured two caps of water. Wan Ning and Zhao Mengqi also came over to ask for it after seeing it, so several people divided the food equally.

However, eating bread and drinking water did not bring a feeling of fullness, but rather made their stomachs feel more empty and their hunger became more intense. Wan Ning looked at the bread in Lu Tianming's hand and made up her mind to carry enough food wherever she went.

"Shhhh There's movement! Lu Tianming suddenly made a gesture and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

Wan Ning also scanned the surroundings vigilantly, only hearing the sound of the breeze blowing through the grass and trees, and did not detect anything abnormal in her senses.

"Where did the voice come from?" Zhao Mengqi asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure, I just heard a strange noise." Lu Tianming replied.

Wan Ning noticed that Xu Min's phone was still on, and immediately suggested that she turn it off so that the light emitted would not be conspicuous. She then walked gently up a gentle slope where the castle was built on high ground and overlooked the distant area. She looked up at the starry sky and saw some frightening sights.

In the distance outside the castle, countless green flames flickered, and the skeletons were wandering outside, and the number was astonishing.

Wan Ning quickly told the others about the discovery. In the face of such a large number of skeletons, it was simply impossible to resist in this open field. In contrast, the inside of the castle is relatively safer. They had no choice but to return to the castle again.

"It looks like every 12 a.m. these skeletons pop up!" Xu Min said with certainty.

"Yes, obviously, let's go back first." As soon as Lu Tianming finished speaking, he suddenly found two green flames emerging from behind Xu Min. Without further ado, he ran straight to the castle gate.

"Ahhh Xu Min screamed as she felt the skeleton's bone claws pierce into her back, the pain making her scream uncontrollably.

Xu Min's screams attracted more skeletons, and in an instant, a large amount of green light appeared from the surrounding trees. Seeing this, Wan Ning turned around and ran away without hesitation.

However, at this moment, she noticed that several green flames suddenly appeared on the side of the ancient castle, like a refreshed monster, the black mist was filled, and two skeletons rushed towards her and Lu Tianming.

Lu Tianming waved the wooden stick in his hand and successfully blocked the attack of one of the skeletons, but at the same time, the other skeleton also chased after him.

Wanning's goal is only the gates of the castle, and she shows a faster speed than usual in the pinch.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Wan Ning urged herself in her heart.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and Wan Ning subconsciously rolled to the side, although she didn't have Ah Feng's superb skills, she managed to dodge the attack. Even though she bit her tongue, she couldn't stop, and she supported her body with her hands and continued to rush towards the gate.

With the gate in front of her, Wan Ning quickly removed the wooden table that was stuck in the gate, and then hurriedly flashed into the ancient castle.

She jammed the door because she was afraid that it would be locked from the inside so as not to fall into the same predicament as the first night again, when they had to jump out of the window to escape.

Zhao Mengqi also ran over at this time, but she didn't see Lu Tianming. Wan Ning noticed Xu Min's condition as she closed the door, at this time Xu Min had lost her human form, and the skeleton's bone claws pierced out of her body, pulling wildly, her two arms had been torn apart, and only two legs were left to flutter helplessly. The skeleton seemed intent on tearing her apart alive.

After the two closed the door, Zhao Mengqi suddenly felt nauseous, and the sound of vomiting came out, although there was nothing in her stomach, she was still retching and vomiting gastric juice, which made Wanning feel uncomfortable too. She hurriedly covered her mouth and nose to prevent herself from vomiting.

Inside the castle, there is also a skeleton, and possibly more than one. However, compared to the skeletons that litter the mountains outside, it seems to be relatively safe here. Wan Ning patted Zhao Mengqi, and the two discussed finding a hidden room to escape the night.

Just as they were about to go up to the second floor, a faint voice came from the hall.

"Wait for me!"

This is Lu Tianming's voice! Is he still alive? Wan Ning looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Lu Tianming walking all the way, he had some injuries on his body, holding his stomach with one hand, and his voice looked weak.

"I jumped out of the window to get in, and I was forced to go around the castle for a long time after I was forced to go around the castle for a long time!" Lu Tianming is really fateful, Wan Ning thought, this person is scheming, if he is a murderer, it will be much trickier, she very much hopes that he died just now. "What about food and water?" Wan Ning looked at Lu Tianming, "It's still here." Lu Tianming patted the schoolbag behind him and said, "Don't worry, this is the hope of survival, I won't lose it, we will assign it as soon as we find a hiding place." Wan Ning nodded, and as soon as the three of them were about to leave, Wan Ning noticed some strange differences. The three of them went from the gate to the upstairs just to pass by Wang Qiang's corpse, Wang Qiang and Ah Feng died here during the day, and they had no energy and obligation to collect Wang Qiang's body, so they let the corpse lie on the floor, and at this time Wan Ning found that there was a blood hole in Wang Qiang's chest. "Wang Qiang's corpse has passed?" Wan Ning wondered. Zhao Mengqi and Lu Tianming also came over, both of them were shocked, and Lu Tianming immediately said: "After Wang Qiang died, we were all preparing things for the night outside, and no one touched his body. "That's weird!" Wan Ning saw that Wang Qiang's chest was hollowed out by something, and that position happened to be the heart. An Junhang and Wang Qiang's hearts were taken out, what did this murderer want to do? Does the Count's ritual require a human heart? It can only be like this, the terrible thing is that he stole Wang Qiang's heart under the noses of several people. Wan Ning didn't stop thinking about these feet, the three of them just paused in the hall and went up to the second floor, they found a living room as a hiding place for tonight, this room has two doors, and it is close to the stairs, and it is easy to escape after the locked door is broken. "I am reminded of the murder case in Renfu Community, where the murderer killed three people in a row and cut out the victim's heart and froze it in his refrigerator." Wan Ning remembered the sensational murder case the year before last, and the murderer's behavior after the murder was somewhat similar to now, but the case had been solved, and the murderer had an antisocial personality and suffered from severe intermittent mental illness. "Really? I haven't heard of it, but the murderer in this castle has nothing to do with the murder in that neighborhood. Lu Tianming said casually. I remember that! It's scary! The murderer ran away at first, and it took half a month to arrest him, which made the whole country panic. Zhao Mengqi sighed as she spoke: "It's just that I didn't expect that I would experience something similar." Wan Ning thought of something, took a deep breath, and then touched Zhao Mengqi's hair, "Everything will end, we will all go back alive!" ”

Wan Ning turned her head around, looked at Lu Tianming and joked: "When the time comes, you have to have a good celebration, I remember that your specialty Huangdao beer over there in Ancheng is good, don't forget to bring us some then." ”

"yes, definitely." Lu Tianming nodded.

The atmosphere seems to be active again, I don't know if it's a bitter pleasure or something else, after closing the doors and windows, the three of them can still chat in a whisper.

"Outside, there seems to be a voice?" Wan Ning said suddenly, and she motioned for Lu Tianming to listen.

"Where?" Lu Tianming immediately approached the door and listened.

"No! What happened to you? Wan Ning asked puzzled.

Lu Tianming suddenly covered his abdomen and looked at Wan Ning in disbelief.

Wan Ning used an excuse to relax Lu Tianming's vigilance, and then took advantage of the dagger he didn't spare to sneak attack him.

But suddenly, Lu Tianming laughed cruelly. His face became blurred, and he couldn't distinguish what it was, and then he quickly said something in his mouth, and the black mist shrouded it, Wan Ning only felt that the scene in front of her had changed, and she could only see the boundless darkness.

A great sense of dread gripped her body, accompanied by all sorts of negative emotions, and she felt weak and helpless. Recalling the scene of being bullied by her classmates when she was a child, the faces that had bullied her came at her.

"Get out of here!" Wan Ning said angrily, and she swung away the shadows with the dagger in her hand, but the shadows continued to attack her.

It's been a long time since I've experienced this feeling, and when Wanning grew up, she disguised herself with a cold and strong side, although she didn't experience that kind of bullying incident again, but her indifference and strength made the people around her more and more distant, and everyone avoided making friends with her.

Loneliness replaced helplessness, those ugly faces gradually disappeared, Wan Ning knelt on the ground, a tear crossed her cheek, a huge sense of loneliness filled her heart, only felt that the world was only herself, no understanding, no trust, no family and friendship.

Just when Wan Ning was filled with boundless negative emotions, the jade bracelet on her wrist lit up with a white light, and the white light wrapped Wan Ning, soft and warm, as if soothing her, Wan Ning felt a warm current rush into her heart, her consciousness instantly cleared, and the darkness quickly disappeared without a trace.
