As night fell, the candlesticks and kerosene lamps in the castle had burned out, shrouding everything in darkness. The moonlight poured onto the floor through the windows, making it hazy and mysterious. On the spire of the castle, a lone crow hummed in a low voice, as if to tell something. Suddenly, a shrill cry pierced the silent night sky, startling the crow.

Wanning's whole body was stained with blood, and she ran desperately, looking back from time to time, as if she was being chased by some invisible chaser. Eventually, she found a room, scrambled in, and slammed the door shut.

The man with the blood-soaked dagger followed, following the girl's voice and eventually reaching the door of the room where she was hiding. Without hesitation, he kicked the door open, and the girl's desperate screams rang out from the room. However, a short time later, the screaming stopped abruptly, and the man walked out of the room with a vicious smile on his face.

Just as the man left, another shadow hidden in the darkness began to act. He smiled contemptuously, then stepped out of the darkness and out the room. He looked left and right to make sure no one noticed him, and then cautiously entered the room.

He lit the lamp in the room and glanced around, only to be surprised to find that the room was empty. He began to feel the slightest bit wrong, and suddenly turned around to see the girl standing behind him, smiling at him.

Surprised to find that he had been tricked, the Count rushed towards Wanning, but the girl was undaunted. The glass jar in her hand flew towards the man, and the glass jar shattered in the air, spilling the liquid inside onto the man. Immediately, the liquid suddenly spontaneously combusted, and the flames quickly engulfed the man's body. The Count let out a scream and tried to extinguish the flames on his body, but in vain. At the same time, Wan Ning took the opportunity to escape from the room and closed the door tightly.

Ah Feng, who had pretended to leave, returned to the scene and pressed the door against Wan Ning together. Ah Feng asked Wanning puzzled: "Is this enough?" ”

Wan Ning calmly explained: "White phosphorus will spontaneously ignite when it encounters oxygen, and phosphorus pentoxide produced by combustion is highly toxic. Our Lord Count will not only be burned to death by fire, but will also be poisoned in this room. ”

White phosphorus is a substance discovered by Wan Ning while investigating the Count's alchemy laboratory. At that time, she noticed a layer of white powder at the bottom of a glass bottle filled with liquid, which alerted her. Today, she ventured into the lab and successfully took out the substance.

In fact, in Wanning's world, white phosphorus was discovered at a time when alchemy was flourishing in the West. Alchemists aspire to convert ordinary metals into gold, and white phosphorus is a by-product of alchemical experiments, attracting attention for its spontaneous combustion and highly toxic properties.

Night enveloped the castle, and the flames of the candlesticks and kerosene lamps had burned out, plunging everything into darkness. Wan waited quietly until there was no movement inside.

However, unexpectedly, a moment later, the wooden door that Wan Ning and Ah Feng were holding against suddenly received a powerful impact, and the two of them almost rushed away with a bang.

"Isn't he dead yet?" Wan Ning said in surprise.

Immediately afterward, the force continued to hit the wooden door, and cracks appeared in the wooden door, and it looked like it was about to be knocked open. Wan Ning and Ah Feng glanced at each other, then retreated at the same time.

The wooden door was finally unable to resist and was swept open by a puff of black mist, and a puff of black smoke poured out.

The Count had been badly burned by the flames caused by the white phosphorus, and he was lying on the ground twitching while covering his mouth and nose, and the skin on his body was scorched black, and there was not a single place left intact. With him as the center, the floor is painted with blood-red symbols, forming a pattern of a seven-pointed star, which looks both eerie and mysterious. Each of the five apex of the seven-pointed star has a heart. The black mist suddenly appeared, cold and rancid, and a pair of red eyes stared at the two of them, which made people feel creepy.

"Is this the Earl's skeletal servant again?" Ah Feng asked in horror.

Wan Ning observed carefully and replied, "Not really! This one looks a bit like being self-aware. “

The overall form of this black mist is completely different from the skeletons seen before. Wan Ning remembered The Diary of the Butler Leon, which mentions that the Count has been killing the servants of Castle Hill for experiments. Those may have been failed attempts, and the skeletons wandering outside could be a product of that. The truly successful experiment seems to have something to do with some kind of ritual that the Count had to kill seven people to complete.

"You can't finish the ritual for me! You're all going to die! They all have to die! Kill them for me! The Count roared fiercely, his face almost burned by the flames, but he pointed in the direction of the two, and the black mist seemed to understand his orders.

The ghost in the black mist struck the two of them at an alarming speed, and the disgusting rancid smell approached, Wan Ning felt desperate, but she suddenly calmed down, climbed directly over the railing of the corridor, and jumped down without hesitation.

The height of the second floor is about five or six meters, and if you don't take the correct landing position, you can easily fall to your death. Wan Ning protected her head, her body posture drooped, trying to reduce the impact with the ground, but when she finally landed, she still felt severe pain, the soles of her feet were numb, her body could not stand steady, and she rolled directly on the ground several times, and the impact of her head made her eyes glaze with stars.

Despite her worrying physical condition, Wan Ning didn't have time to think about it. She quickly glanced around and saw that the undead creatures had distanced themselves from her, and they didn't chase after her. Instead, they turned to attack Ah Feng, who was closer.

Ah Feng faced a pair of hands that rushed towards him, trying to use his skills to dodge. He supported the ground with his hands while running, and suddenly changed direction, however, this time his opponent was not an ordinary person, and his pale hands exuded the aura of death, and still touched Ah Feng's back.

In an instant, Ah Feng's clothes were burned through by the black mist, and the skin on his back was rotten and fell off. He resisted the pain, and the contact was only lightly brushed, but it was already terrifying. If you are caught by an undead creature, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, Ah Feng also decided to follow Wan Ning and jumped from the second floor.

Ah Feng's landing was a bit more stable than Wan Ning's, and he managed to roll to the ground and stand firm. Then, he looked anxiously at Wan Ning, whose face was covered in dust and dirt.

"What now?" Ah Feng asked.

"Let me think, let me think." Wan Ning noticed that the jade bracelet on her wrist was emitting a faint light, and although she didn't have time to think about it, her brain was running at high speed, while she maintained a calm and clear mind, even as the adrenaline exploded in her body.

After a moment's thought, Wan Ning said, "I need to find a complex terrain and lure them into it. You go and open the gates of the castle and bring in all the skeletons outside! “

"Okay!" Ah Feng nodded without hesitation, and he quickly ran towards the gate, telling Wan Ning not to be touched by the undead creatures.

The black mist began to fall from the second floor, chasing Wan Ning, and the Count was condescending, the burnt skin on his face revealing his teeth, and let out a strange mockery.

Wan Ning dodged among the countless corridors, doorways, and columns, which were the servants' quarters on the first floor of the castle, and the castle's back kitchen was also in this area. The rooms are intricate and interconnected, forming a complex labyrinth. She's playing a game of "hide and seek" where failure can kill her. Luckily, this undead creature is still subject to the laws of physics, and there is no way to pass through the wall, otherwise she would have died many times ago.

One of Wanning's most dangerous encounters with undead creatures happened just now. She flashed into the nearby passage for a split second, but felt a chill in her back, and her clothes seemed to be engulfed in flames. This sense of imminent crisis fueled her survival instinct like never before.

"Run! Come on! "She kept pushing herself inside.

Wan Ning never looked back, because that cold, full of death and decay had been chasing her. She prayed that time would pass quickly, and that if she waited until the early hours of the morning, things might turn around. She was also silently praying that Ah Feng's operation would be smooth and successful.

Ah Feng was also running, and his situation was even more dangerous because he didn't choose a place to hide in a planned way like Wan Ning. There was only a vast garden outside the castle, so he could only keep making noises, luring a large group of skeletons into chasing after him, and then he ran towards the castle.

Although Ah Feng was fast, he could only run in a straight line, and he was almost caught by the skeleton man many times. Eventually, he succeeded in introducing these red-eyed monsters to the castle with only one goal, the Count himself.

The count's face was scorched and festering, and his expression was unrecognizable, but he should have been stunned at the moment. Ah Feng rushed straight to the second floor where the earl was. The Earl tried to cast an illusion on his lips, but Ah Feng bypassed him at the last moment and rushed farther behind the Earl.

"Come back soon!" The Count roared. Because the attracted skeletons will only attack the nearest target, and Ah Feng has run away, the skeletons are now rushing towards the injured Earl. Their bone claws frantically tore at the Count's body, and the Count screamed in pain, his voice filled with despair.

"Winriti! Save me! The Count shouted.

"Winriti!"

By the time the undead creature arrived, the Count was dying, his life was dissipating, but he was still calling the name.

"Winriti, my wife."

The undead Wenretti emitted a shuddering aura, black mist splashed, and several skeletons turned into gray powder from the earl's side, and the powerful momentum caused the nearby skeletons to be knocked away.

The Count smiled at the sight of the undead Winreti, a rare look of tenderness. He tried to get up, but was too injured to sit up, so he could only lie on the ground, with a smile and sad laughter.

"It's a pity I almost made it this time, damn it." The Count's voice was faint and full of mockery. "It's almost enough to resurrect you completely."

The remaining skeletons still kept pouring into the second floor, they had no thoughts, only a thirst for life. The undead Unretilly guarded the Count, constantly defeating the skeletons that attacked it, but more skeletons kept coming up.

"These lowly servants are so useless even when they die." The Count's voice was faint and full of mockery. "They all think I'm crazy, haha, I'm really crazy without you around. Even if you die as many people as you can, as long as you can come back. “

The Count's love touched Wan Ning, and she didn't know what kind of emotions could make the Count go crazy and kill many lives to resurrect his deceased wife. Even though she and Ah Feng shouldn't have meddled in all this, they were still natural enemies of this place.

The black fog cleared, and the skeletons vanished without a trace. The Count's life is gone after the last call of Winriti, and with a smile on his face, the mad Count ends up dead. The body of the undead Wenruiti also faded, and she stared at the Count until she finally disappeared completely.

The earl's love story touched Wan Ning, and she couldn't help but sigh, she didn't know what kind of love could make a person so desperate. However, in this place, they are still enemies. Wan Ning sighed, she put away her sympathy for the Count, and then strangely found that her body was becoming thin and fluttery, and her hands were almost transparent. Ah Feng next to him was the same, and the two of them watched all this in surprise.

Is it time to wrap it up? Is it time to leave this kasbah?

Although everything that happened here was only three days, the tense moment made Wanning feel as if she had spent a long time. Her consciousness began to return to her half-asleep state, and she actually smiled before disappearing completely. She actually forgot to ask Ah Feng's profession.
