"Welcome to Alan Castle."

At the gate of the huge brown castle, a middle-aged man in a crisp suit with a cross around his neck smiled at the 16 men and women in front of him.

"I'm the steward here, Neil."

"Mistress Monica is praying in the church, please take a break, and when the hostess is done praying, we can have dinner together."

"I've been preparing this meal for you for a long time, and I hope you can be satisfied."

After the butler finished speaking, he turned and entered the castle, and stood at the door quietly waiting for everyone to enter.

There were 16 people present, all of whom were curiously observing their surroundings.

This is the fourth blood door.

The weather is clear and cool, the light is light and the clouds are clear.

It doesn't look like it's going to rain.

Jun Luyuan stood beside Ning Qiushui, curiously looking at everything around him.

"Did my sister make money in such a place before......

Ning Qiushui whispered to Jun Luyuan on the side:

"Keep in mind the tasks and tips of the Blood Gate, and after entering the castle, don't touch things, and don't stay in the same place for too long."

Jun Luyuan nodded.

After finding their teammates, they entered the castle gate one by one.

When they pass by the butler by the door, they all glance at each other unconsciously.

Based on past experience, the first NPC they encounter when they come to the world of Bloodgate is often more important.

So it's easier to get their attention.

The butler's skin was pale, white without a trace of blood, and the smile on his face was indescribably stiff.

It feels ...... It's not like a living person.

When passing by him, I will also feel a hint of coldness.

Ning Qiushui also glanced at the housekeeper, but his gaze was more focused on the butler's waist.

This time the Blood Gate mission requires them not only to survive the five days in the castle, but also to find the key to leave the castle gate.

Where are the keys most likely to appear?

On the butler's body, of course.

But the place where the keys should have been hung was empty.

After everyone entered the castle, Steward Neil didn't even close the door, and walked directly towards the hall of the castle with everyone.

Many people looked back and saw that the gate of the castle was open like this, and no one cared for it.

"Steward Neil, isn't the castle gate usually closed?"

A short, slightly chubby man in the crowd asked.

This is also the question that everyone wants to ask.

When Steward Neil heard this, he said lightly without looking back:

"The castle gates will only be closed on rainy days."

When everyone heard this, their expressions showed a touch of weirdness.

Closing when it's raining?

Why is that?

"Excuse me, why does the castle gate close when it's raining?"

The butler did not elaborate on the reason, but said:

"It's Madame's request."

Neil, the butler, led the people to the first hall and said to them:

"This is the favorite place of the little owner, he used to sit by the fireplace and read on rainy days when he was a child......"

With a brief introduction, the butler led everyone to continue walking towards the dark corridor.

The lighting of this corridor is not very good, and after everyone enters this corridor, they feel a little colder inexplicably.

"It's a wall gallery...... The hanging on it was all painted by the little master, who used to like to draw and write poems......"

Everyone followed the guidance of the butler's words, and the walls mottled with traces of time were indeed covered with all kinds of graffiti and poetry collections.

Although the graffiti is very casual, no matter how clumsy the handwriting is, it is still decorated with a precious frame.

Ning Qiushui glanced at it and found that the contents of these paintings were generally similar.

- A small child sat in the corner of a room, it was raining heavily outside the window, the door was closed, but something seemed to be standing outside the door, and a distorted and long shadow was specially drawn in the doorway.

There are 6 such paintings in total.

It encompasses 6 different locations of the castle.

It's like the little kid in this room is hiding from something......

But no matter where he is hiding, he will be found.

Ning Qiushui frowned slightly.

He looked at the butler's back.

"Butler, may I ask...... Where did the little owner of this castle go? ”

After hearing this question, Neil turned his head and said to Ning Qiushui with a smile:

"Please wait, Madame is praying and will be back from the church in the backyard soon."

Hearing his answer, everyone's expressions changed subtly.

Just when Ning Qiushui was about to continue asking, Jun Luyuan beside him actually spoke first:

"What we're asking is...... Where is the little master? ”

The smile on Steward Neil's face did not change in the slightest, and the reply on his lips was also natural:

"Rest easy, everyone, the prayer will be over in ten minutes."

"Dinner is ready for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Everyone sensed that something was wrong with the butler.

He's like a marionette.

In the silence, Steward Neil led the group to the second hall, where he stood smiling beneath a plaster statue.

The plaster statue is a classic 1:1 crucifix.

Jesus, pale skinned, was crucified.

The large dining table was placed in front of the statue of Jesus, and the table was like a sharp blade that cut the plaster Jesus in half.

This placement is really uncomfortable.

The butler stood motionless and silent, like a contrasting black sculpture, with a gloomy aura all over his body.

But although his body didn't move, his eyes were moving, looking at everyone from time to time, and there was always a vague weirdness on his face.

After everyone waited in such a heavy atmosphere for ten minutes, a heavy bell suddenly sounded in the distance—

Bell –

Bell –

Bell –

After the bell rang three times, Steward Neil moved again, and said very respectfully to the crowd:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Madame has returned, please take a seat, and I will go and prepare dinner for you."

With that, Steward Neil walked straight away, leaving everyone standing still.

Everyone chatted for a while, and then they heard the crisp sound of high heels coming from the dim hallway leading to the west side.

Da Da Da –

The voice was neither fast nor slow, but it was so clear.

Everyone looked at the other side, and as the footsteps approached, a tall and thin woman wrapped in a black dress appeared in front of everyone.

The moment they saw this woman clearly, everyone's hearts trembled slightly.
