Chapter 4: The Castle of Terror (3)
Listening to the prompt sound in her ears, a triumphant smile crossed the corner of Su Momo's mouth, being well-behaved was just her disguise, in order to find a suitable puppet.
Her ability is puppetry, as long as the other party agrees to protect her, she can make a contract and order the other party three things, but only one person can be bound per game.
**
The rooms upstairs are all about the same, the room number at the door is from 1 to 14, Yan Luo randomly chose a 5, and when she was about to enter the room, she stopped and observed the choices of others with her peripheral vision.
Mu Jingheng is No. 1, I don't know if he has absolute confidence in his own strength, and he doesn't seem to be worried at all.
No. 2 is Kong Yize, No. 3 is Meng Ran, No. 4 is next door to her is the college student Qin Qingze, and room No. 6 on the right is Lin Sen.
Yan Luo shook his head, only he was the most reliable in this game.
She pushed open the door and walked in, surveying the interior of the room.
The curtains are slightly flickering, a beam of moonlight shines through the windows on the floor, the room exudes a faint woody scent, the bed is placed with ornate embroidered bedding, and the walls are hung with old oil paintings, and the dark red tones create a mysterious atmosphere.
It didn't seem that there was anything wrong, Yan Luo checked the windows and doors to make sure they were all closed, and then searched the bedroom again before entering the bathroom.
Living alone for a long time has made her have a strong sense of safety, and it is unpredictable to enter the game, so it is better to be cautious.
In the bathroom, the retro-style bathtub is against the wall, and the dim lighting makes the bathroom a little more terrifying. Yan Luo stood in front of the mirror, and he could see the bathtub behind him from the mirror.
Just as she turned to leave, a dark shadow seemed to flash in the mirror.
"What person" Yan Luo's eyes suddenly sharpened.
The figure just now was not an illusion, and there must be unknown creatures hidden in this castle.
When the time was almost up, she washed up briefly, and then lay down on the bed and pretended to sleep.
10 p.m., "Knock~Knock~"
With the sound of the bell tower, the creatures in the castle shed their disguises and scrambled to reach out to the players on the second floor.
At this time, the female anchor in room 8 was lying in the bathtub with a comfortable face, although she was inexplicably pulled into the game, she didn't take it seriously,
"Knock~knock" There was a knock at the door
"Who," Li Shuang replied casually.
"Miss Li, the housekeeper has something to do with us, you can open the door"
"Okay, wait for me later" by this time she had forgotten the butler's prompt.
In the next second, a pair of thin, shriveled hands reached out from the water, grabbed her neck and pressed her into the water.
"Woo~Help~Woo~" Li Shuang was caught off guard by being pressed into the water, and immediately began to struggle, scratching hard with both hands in an attempt to break free from the hand on his neck. However, after pouring a few mouthfuls of water, the female anchor's hands gradually fell weakly.
**
After Yan Luo heard the knock at the door, he clenched the knife in his hand.
It was taken from the dining table during dinner, and then she heard Mu Jingheng's voice,
"Yan Luo opened the door, I have something I want to discuss with you" She was stunned at first, but then reacted and remembered the housekeeper's words, but she didn't hear it, and still kept her sleeping posture motionless.
The voice at the door was repeated over and over again, from Mu Jingheng to Meng Ran, changing multiple voices, and the tone became more and more urgent, but it never broke in, probably because there was some kind of limitation.
It took about half an hour before the sound of the door disappeared, and I don't know if it was a different target.
"Knock~Knock~" The clock strikes at 12 midnight, the creatures of the castle leave one after another, and the player falls into a deep sleep uncontrollably under the sound of the bell.
......
At sunset, the light in the hall reflects the fine light through the crystals, melodious music echoes in the banquet hall, and the nobles are dressed in costumes and toasting about something.
"What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up to the front to eat food" When Yan Luo woke up again, he heard a urging sound.
I didn't have time to think too much, so I picked up the tray in my hand and left with the person next to me. She followed the man, carefully surveying her surroundings.
This is probably what the castle looked like before, beautifully decorated, vases and jade everywhere, but I don't know what happened later, so that this castle was abandoned.
After delivering the dessert in her hand to the table, Yan Luo returned to the kitchen again, and in the process she excused herself to go to the toilet and looked in the mirror.
In the mirror, she was dressed as a maid, with a black dress and a white lace apron. The appearance has not changed. Yan Luo nodded slightly, I don't know why she came to the scene that happened before the castle, but maybe there will be clues about the curse here, but I don't know if someone else has come in.
At this time, the other surviving players are also teleported to all corners of the castle, gardeners, squires, cooks, and maids, and the game randomly assigns them different identities.
Mu Jingheng was walking among the nobles with red wine in his hand at this time, providing them with red wine while listening to their speeches to inquire about the news.
"Do you know the news that came out recently?"
"You mean Wellman. Is the son of the Duke of Hack in love with a witch of the Eastern family, oh my God, dear, how is this possible"
"Wellman. Count Starr is a sure Duke heir, is he crazy to give up his identity as the heir of the family for the sake of a witch"
"Who knows, their witch has always been cunning, maybe it was that witch who put a spell on Count Star, wanting to use Count Starter to gain the power of the Wellman family, so as to break the contract between the two places"
"Shhhh
When the two ladies realized that the topic was too serious, they immediately changed the topic and talked about clothes and shoes.
Seeing this, Mu Jingheng also turned around and left, and went to another corner.
When Yan Luo returned to the kitchen, he was reprimanded by the chef. "Send something so ink, I don't know what day it is, if it weren't for the lack of people at today's engagement banquet, you would have been fired a long time ago"
"Engagement banquet" Yan Luo's heart moved
"I'm sorry, I just had a little stomach pain, not the next one, you can give me another chance" She was placed in the position of washing vegetables under the scolding of the head chef, and there were several middle-aged women working with her.
Yan Luo swept around and found that there were no players here. While washing vegetables with her aunts, she took the opportunity to inquire about the background of this time.
"Who are the two nobles who are the protagonists of today's engagement banquet?" several aunts immediately opened the conversation when they saw this
"I see you're new here, I don't even know this, it's Wellman today. Count Start and West Germany. Miss Rayla's Engagement Reception"
"Wellman. Star: "Isn't that the name behind the photo?"
"But the other day, Wellman. Didn't Count Sta still want to die and live for that woman, why was he willing to get engaged?"
"Men, you can give up anything for the sake of a position of power, what is love, that woman is still that identity"
"What identity" Yan Luo asked.
However, before he could answer, the cook walked over.
"Talking about the master's private affairs, you don't want to do it, right" The next few people didn't dare to chat anymore, and Yan Luo had to work first, not daring to continue to inquire.
During the break, she slipped into the front hall and watched the engagement from the corner, where the bride and groom were celebrating with the crowd.
The bride is also West Germany. Miss Rayla, with her delicate makeup, looks beautiful and generous, but she doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to the woman in the photo.
Yan Luo thought for a while, and had some ideas about the background of this wedding in his mind.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, as the bell rang in the ancient castle, the players lost consciousness again, and before falling unconscious, Yan Luo subconsciously reached out and grabbed something.
