Chapter 5: The Castle of Terror (4)
When Yan Luo woke up, it was already dawn, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused when he recalled last night.
Was last night a dream?
She soon dismissed the idea, as she found that she still had in her hand the spoon she had grabbed before she had fallen asleep the previous night.
Yan Luo got up to wash, and after cleaning up briefly, he went downstairs.
At 7:43 in the morning, there were already 5 people downstairs at this time, still sitting in their positions last night, several people looked at each other, and the players upstairs went downstairs one after another.
At 7:59, Qin Qingze looked at his watch, counted the number of people, and scratched his head.
"Why hasn't anyone come down and slept before?"
Yan Luo also observed, there was only one person missing, only the anchor from last night was not there.
Have you slept Yan Luo didn t believe this statement last night the woman obviously thought that this game was a big reality show. If you want to become a star, how can you oversleep on the first night and not pay attention to your image at all.
Then the butler appeared, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the servant came in again, with a fine breakfast in his hand.
"After the guests have finished their meal, they can move around the castle as they please, and the luncheon will be delivered to the table at regular intervals."
In the next second, the butler disappeared with the servant.
"What, it's mysterious" Lin Sen pursed his lips with disdain.
During the meal, Meng Ran asked:
"Did anything strange happen to you last night?"
"After 10 o'clock last night, I heard Miss Yan and Mr. Kong knocking on the door of my room and telling me to come out," Mu Jingheng sat on the chair with his legs crossed, his fingers lightly tapping on the table.
"Coincidentally, I also heard the voices of Mr. Mu and Miss Meng last night telling me to go out," Yan Luo also said,
"I also heard someone call me out, but I remembered the butler's words, so I didn't answer"
"Yes, so did I, at that time I said that the housekeeper had something to do with us, and I almost fell for it"
Others began to speak.
"What's even more outrageous, I had a dream last night that I had become the gardener of the castle, and although I was looking for a job, I was crazy to work here"
It was Zhang Zheyu who spoke, who was looking for a job after graduating from university, and although he graduated from Agricultural University, he never wanted to engage in the agricultural industry, and yesterday he found out that he had become a gardener and was a little devastated
"I'm dreaming too, but it should be a librarian," Qin Qingze said
"I'm a waiter"
"Me too"
Yan Luo listened to the conversation of the players present, frowned slightly, looked at the vase on the table, and continued to speak after thinking:
"Did you all have a dream last night, in other words, did you not go to the castle?"
The players looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Is it possible that it wasn't a dream, but that we actually wore a scene that happened in the castle before?"
"Not a dream?"
"I agree with Miss Yan's point of view, I tried last night, and our behavior will not affect the environment present, in other words, everything we saw last night has already happened, and no matter what we do, the result will not change" Mu Jingheng agreed with Yan Luo's words.
"So I think this time and space travel may provide us with some clues to find the origin of the curse and crack the curse," Yan Luo continued to add.
"Next, please tell me all the information you got last night" Kong Yize saw that several people had already analyzed, and hurriedly spoke, taking the initiative back into his hands.
"Wait a minute, are we going to call Sister Li Shuang first" Su Momo asked.
"What do you call her to do when she's late," Lin Sen said dissatisfiedly.
"Maybe she has some important clues, I'm done eating, I'll call her" Meng Ran said and got up and went upstairs, and when she left, she turned around and asked, "What room is she?" ”
"It should be room 8, I'm room 7, yesterday Li Shuang's sister lived next door to me," the middle-aged woman spoke.
She was a housewife and had an impression of the anchor, and she was on the stairs behind the anchor last night, so she remembers her very well as being at number 8 next door.
After asking about the room, Meng Ran went upstairs, and the others waited for someone to come down while having breakfast, so that they could sort out the information together.
After a while, there was screaming from upstairs!
"Ah~ah"
"It seems that something happened" Mu Jingheng's face instantly became serious, he got up and strode quickly upstairs, Yan Luo followed him upstairs, and the others also hurriedly put down their food and went upstairs.
After going upstairs, I saw Meng Ran holding on to the fence, sitting on the ground, her face was pale, and she couldn't stop vomiting with her mouth covered.
"What's the matter" Without waiting for Meng Ran to answer, the two pushed open the door and walked in, the bed in the room was very neat, and it didn't seem that anyone had slept with it.
Yan Luo saw that the bathroom door was open, and walked in carefully, even though he was mentally prepared, Yan Luo was still startled by the scene in front of him.
The female anchor was soaked in the bathroom, the body was already a little swollen, showing an unnatural blue and purple color, her eyes were closed, her hair was wet and sticking to her scalp, her hands were clenched into fists, her fingers were bent, as if she wanted to grab something before she died, her mouth was slightly open, and there were obvious bruises on her neck.
Yan Luo subconsciously took a few steps back, and bumped into Mu Jingheng who came in behind, "It's okay, or you go out first" Mu Jingheng helped Yan Luo weakly.
Yan Luo shook his head after standing still, took a deep breath, stepped forward to observe the anchor's corpse, and seeing this, Mu Jingheng didn't say anything more, and also studied it.
"Looks like he should have died last night"
"Hmm", Yan Luo looked at the bruises on Li Shuang's neck, and tried to draw the angle with both hands, but it was not quite right.
"What if not from the front, but from behind?" Mu Jingheng's words provided Yan Luo with a new idea.
"If it's in the water sticking out from behind the deceased's back and holding down the neck, it makes sense"
"But how could a human be sticking out from behind, she's taking a bath," Lin Sen questioned their words.
"Who said that the one who kills must be human," Mu Jingheng mocked
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed sharply, Fang Feng immediately retracted his gaze lingering on Li Shuang's figure, he felt a little regretful that the beauty had died before, but now he only felt that he would get on his body just by looking at those dirty things.
Su Momo caught a glimpse of the man's movements, and pouted speechlessly, if he wasn't the easiest to take the bait, she wouldn't have chosen a lustful and brainless person to be her puppet.
"The windows are all closed, as for the door, Miss Meng, when you come in, is the door open or closed" Mu Jingheng looked at Meng Ran
"It's hidden, I knocked on the door and no one answered, so I tried to push the door, but it opened as soon as I pushed it" Meng Ran had returned to normal at this time and no longer needed to be supported by others.
"I think she may have answered something when she knocked on the door last night, and she violated the taboo, so she was killed by those things" Yan Luo looked serious,
"It's very likely that she didn't realize the danger of the game in the first place, and it's very likely that she was careless."
"Then what should we do next, is her body left like this" Yan Luo stepped forward and tried to touch the female anchor's bracelet.
The next second, with the sound of machinery.
"Ding", the player is detected dead, and the corpse will automatically destroy in a moment"
"Looks like we're going to leave it alone, let's go out," a few people walked out of the room and closed the door.
"Let's go and summarize what we have now."
