Chapter 223: The Lost Castle 13
"Is what you just said true?" Yu Menglin asked eagerly.
Xiong Tianyang, who was following him, also looked at Jiang Lai and the four of them.
"It's true." Yuan Yuan said: "We saw the anomaly in the miniature landscape model, so we hurriedly ran over to inform you." ”
While everyone was talking, there was a sudden pop in the stable.
It was the sound of a sharp steel fork piercing flesh and blood!
Mr. Zhu's body was nailed to the pillar by the big steel fork used to fork the grass in the stable!
His eyes widened, as if he had seen some extremely terrifying picture before being stabbed by a steel fork.
A large amount of blood, flowing from the pierced hole in his chest, soon stained the pillar red, flowed down the pillar, and fell to the ground in a tick.
Because Jiang Lai and the four of them arrived in time and reminded Menglin, Yu Menglin successfully avoided the death.
However, the person who died became Mr. Zhu.
What's even more terrifying is that Mr. Zhu died directly under the noses of other players in the image of the same paragraph in the miniature landscape model.
But no one noticed what happened to Mr. Zhu when they were talking to Yu Menglin.
"Ah, this ......"
Mr. Zhu's sudden death made the other players startled, and they surrounded in surprise, trying to find clues and figure out the truth of the matter in the first place.
Jiang Lai stood still and did not move.
At the moment when Mr. Zhu was pierced through his body by a steel fork, she suddenly heard Xiao Ai's voice.
"Please note! Your current area has a risk rating of five stars. Please exercise caution and stay safe. ”
After Mr. Zhu's death, that risk disappeared.
It's just that she still can't figure out what happened to Mr. Zhu.
What was the reason that caused him to replace Yu Menglin and die tragically under the steel fork.
Just like when Fan Jie fell to her death before, Xiong Tianyang and Yu Menglin, who came out to investigate with Mr. Zhu, did not find that Mr. Zhu had done anything special.
And they didn't find anything special.
"Speaking of which, how did you three come to the stable to investigate the situation?" Wen Ling suddenly asked.
"Oh, that's right." Xiong Tianyang replied: "Actually, we originally wanted to investigate in the ancient castle. However, when we came to the first floor of the castle, we found that there was an additional model of a stable next to the miniature landscape model of the castle, so we went outside to check it out. ”
I see.
The reason why Mr. Zhu lost his life was because the mastermind behind the placement of the miniature landscape model secretly laid it out.
We didn't find any other clues for the time being, and when we returned to the castle hall, we didn't expect that the miniature landscape model had changed.
The man who died in the stable, nailed to the wooden pillar by a steel fork, became Mr. Zhu.
"It's a pity that we were a step too late to see who the person who laid out the miniature model was." Yuan Yuan said regretfully.
Xiong Tianyang shook his head beside him and said, "I think it's fortunate that we didn't see the true face of that person." Otherwise, we can probably follow Mr. Zhu. ”
……
Soon it was time for dinner.
When the remaining six players arrived at the dining room together, they found that the hostess, who had been late for noon, was not seated at the moment.
When the servants brought the delicacies to the table, Jiang Lai began to enjoy the food.
For this meal, she chose grilled sea bass, baked potatoes, strawberry pie and vegetable soup.
"Yuanyuan, this grilled sea bass is fragrant and tender, you can eat more." Jiang Lai said.
As before, she has a good appetite.
It seems that he is not worried about all the strange phenomena that are happening here.
As was the case at lunchtime, when the players finished their meal and were about to leave the restaurant, the strange-looking hostess arrived late, still with a very content, pleasant smile on her face.
……
Probably because of the continuous rain, it was only about half past five in the afternoon, and the sky outside had already begun to darken.
When Jiang Lai returned to his room after dinner, it was already pitch black outside.
She stood at the window for a moment before going into the bathroom to wash up.
However, the auspicious children did not like the location of the window.
Because, by the light of the house, the little one could see that the thick bushes outside were like ghost hands with teeth and claws, casting a spreading black shadow on the mottled walls of the castle.
It was pitch black outside, the bushes were empty, and nothing strange appeared.
Jiang Lai stood in front of the window for a while before turning around and entering the bathroom to take a shower.
When she finished washing up, wiped her hair, and walked towards the bedroom, she couldn't help but pause.
The actuary's eye Xiao Ai is suddenly online.
"Please note! Your current area has a risk rating of five stars. ”
Immediately after, the auspicious voice also sounded.
"Mama, there's a person outside!"
Outside the dark window, a black figure appeared.
The man stood in front of a bush with his back to the window of the room where Jiang Lai was.
He was wearing a black dress and a black wide-brimmed hat made of the same material, and he stood in the rain with his back to Jiang Lai.
Although the figure looked a little blurry through the drizzling rain, Ji Xiang was sure that it was the hostess of this ancient castle.
"Ma Ma, Jixiang feels that she is very delicious, especially delicious......" Jixiang whispered to Jiang Laidao.
What can make auspiciousness feel particularly delicious is usually a big boss-level monster.
Moreover, this kind of situation that I didn't think I could eat before, and then I suddenly felt that it was delicious, Jiang Lai and Jixiang also encountered it in the copy of the Happy Community.
What causes the feeling of auspiciousness to change at any time is not auspiciousness itself, but the big boss whose state is constantly changing.
The figure that appeared in the rain seemed to have turned into a stone statue, motionless and stiff, not caring at all about the dripping rain, which kept falling on her body, wetting the strange black dress on her.
The hostess stood motionless in the rain for more than ten minutes, causing Jiang Lai to lose patience first.
"Jixiang, otherwise you will go out and eat her, right? Don't let her continue to stand in that place in the rain, it's scary, and she's suffering too. Jiang Lai said to Jixiang.
