"Squeak......

The shape is okay, but the rusty flower iron fence gate suddenly squeaked and slowly opened.

On the other side of the gate is the castle.

A middle-aged man in a black tuxedo and white gloves appeared in front of them.

The man bowed to the eight players and smiled very appropriately.

"Welcome to all of you. My master is already waiting for you. Please come with me. ”

With that, the NPC turned around and walked towards the inside of the castle.

Experienced veteran players know that this is the NPC leading them into the story scene.

So, they hurriedly raised their heels and went up.

As a newcomer, although Yu Menglin didn't quite understand what was going on, he didn't dare to separate from the large army in such a strange place, so he also followed behind the others and walked towards the inside of the ancient castle.

However, from his facial expressions, it was easy to tell that he did not really want to enter this strange looking castle.

The butler-like NPC leads the players into the gates of the castle.

As soon as they entered the castle, the light dimmed.

This old castle seems to be poorly lit, with only candles inserted on the walls on both sides and a large chandelier hanging in the center, emitting a dim glow.

Jiang Lai frowned, feeling not very good in his heart.

According to Xiao Ai and Jixiang's description, she felt that living in this ancient castle, it was easy to distinguish between the concept of day and night, and there might be a confusion of time.

In particular, the chandelier hanging in the center reminded her of the big boss in the Orange Blossom Town dungeon, the big boss who was lit by the falling chandelier, Princess Mary.

After leading the players into the castle, the butler NPC did not stop, but led them to continue walking towards the second floor of the castle.

"Please watch the steps under your feet." The butler said, leaving the players with an elegant and proper smile.

Jiang Lai was on a blind cane, supported by Yuanyuan, followed behind the Wenling brothers and sisters, and walked towards the second floor.

The castle is very large.

The stairs to the second floor alone are extraordinarily long.

After the players have walked through the long staircase, there is a long and narrow hallway.

In the corridor, the light is even darker than the first floor of the castle.

Every three meters away, there is only one candle on the wall.

In addition, the dark red wallpaper used here is very complex.

Jixiang told Jiang Lai that if he stared at those wallpapers for a long time, he would even feel dizzy.

The black carpet underfooted makes the whole space look even darker and cramped.

There are also many oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

This long, narrow corridor with no end in sight gives people a very uncomfortable and eerie feeling.

The oil paintings hanging on the walls make it almost impossible to see the subject of the painting. Some are like landscapes, and some are like people.

A variety of different colors, on top of the canvas, intertwine with each other, forming a various, eerie and distorted gesture that gives a very uncomfortable feeling.

Jiang Lai doesn't know much about oil painting, and she can't see it, so she can only perceive it through auspicious descriptions.

She feels that these paintings seem to be different from the creative styles of various art schools in the real world, such as impressionism, abstraction, realism, etc.

The thick texture of the black carpet under his feet eliminated the sound of footsteps, and the whole corridor was silent, except for the candles on the walls, which flickered and emitted a faint glow.

The eight players followed the butler NPC for a long time before finally seeing the end of the hallway.

At the end of this corridor, there is a wooden door that opens on.

The butler walked to the door, pulled one of the doors open, revealing a passage about half a meter wide, and made a gesture for everyone to enter.

Wen Ling walked in the front, followed by Wen Jiao, Jiang Lai and Yuan Yuan, and the four mermaids rushed in, and the others followed behind them.

As soon as everyone entered the house, the aroma of food wafted in.

It's a restaurant.

In the center of the room, there is a large dining table.

A variety of food is already set on the table.

At the end of the dining table, sat the master in the mouth of the butler.

The owner was a tall, emaciated, pale woman.

The woman wears a black velvet dress in a medieval style.

What's even more weird is that at this moment, she is obviously sitting in the dining room, in an indoor environment, but the woman is wearing a very wide black hat on her head.

The hat was made of the same material as the dress she was wearing.

The woman has a lanky face.

His face was very pale, so pale that there was no trace of blood, as if it was made of white paper.

Her hooked nose was long, and her black eyes looked extraordinarily large, like a bottomless abyss in the dim light, in stark contrast to her pale face.

At this moment, the woman's red, blood-stained mouth outlined a penetrating smile, as if to welcome the players who came to the castle.

The spooky castle and the spooky hostess make all players cautious.

For a moment, no one spoke.

As a newcomer, Yu Menglin hid behind Xiong Tianyang, covering his mouth tremblingly, as if he was afraid that he would scream uncontrollably.

The butler walked into the dining room at some point, walked behind them, and suddenly said, "Please be seated, everyone!" You're welcome, enjoy your food. ”

The butler coincidentally appeared behind Yu Menglin.

Yu Menglin was taken aback.

Fortunately, he covered his mouth just now, so he didn't scream directly.

Xiong Tianyang, who was closest to him, could even hear the sound of his teeth chattering from the young man's mouth.

When all the players were frightened by this strange scene and didn't dare to act rashly, Jiang Lai stepped forward with her blind cane, found a chair at random, and sat down next to the table.

Seeing this, Yuan Yuan gritted his teeth, followed as well, and sat down on the seat next to Jiang Lai.

Just as she moved, Wen Ling and Wen Jiao also moved.

The four of them sat in a row.

The other four followed them, although they hesitated.

After everyone had taken their seats at the table, the strange hostess picked up the bell and shook it, announcing that the meal was open.

She didn't speak from beginning to end, not even her expression changed.

She was silent, picked up the knife and fork next to the plate, and slowly ate the food on the plate.
