Chapter 8: The Castle of Terror (7)
"Shhhh
After turning on the room light, Yan Luo fixed his eyes and saw that it was Mu Jingheng.
"What's the matter, didn't you say that you should gather at the door of the study?" Yan Luo was a little puzzled and looked at the room.
This should be Wellman. The Duke of Hack usually used it to receive guests, and the layout was simple.
"Follow me, Wellman. The Duke has just entered the study."
Mu Jingheng said and walked to the balcony, and Yan Luo also walked over, and then she realized that she could see the movement in the study from here.
I saw the old duke sitting at the table and spilling something into the tea.
"Knock knock~" There was a knock on the door.
Wellman. Count Start walked in, his face a little eager.
"Father, did you hide Sila?"
"Is this your cultivation as the heir of the duke, shouting to your father for a woman"
Looking at his proud son who is now mad for a witch, Wellman. Duke Wick hated iron and could not be made of steel.
"What the hell did that witch put on you to abandon your family, Sid. Miss Rayla is well-informed, and marrying her will be good for you and for your family."
"Father, Siala is different from other witches, we really love each other, she has left her family for me, I will never give up on her" Wellman. Count Starter struggled to prove his father's love between them
"I'll give you one last chance, obediently and West Germany. Miss Rayla is engaged, and you are still the heir of the Wellman family, and I will let that witch go too, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about the father-son relationship between you and me" Wellman. Duke Keke's face turned pale, and he made a threatening voice.
"I'm sorry, father, I love Sira, I won't betray the love between us" Wellman. Count Starter stepped back and bowed deeply to the old duke.
"Well, after drinking this cup of tea, you will no longer be the heir of the Wellman family," the old duke handed the tea to Wellman. Star, the young man drank it without hesitation. But he didn't see the old duke's complicated gaze looking at him.
"Father, I'm gone, I'm sorry", Wellman. Count Stahl got up to leave, but the moment he turned around, a wave of dizziness struck, and he fainted.
"Son, don't blame me, I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it, I must not disgrace the entire Wellman family because of you"
Wellman. Duke Wick looked at the young man who fell to the ground, shook his head helplessly, got up and took out a key from his neck, and opened the dark room
"Zhong Rui, take him out", and soon a man about 50 years old walked out of the dark room, and the man was followed by a young man. Count Start's face is exactly the same,
Zhong Bo will pass out to the ground of Wellman. Count Start slung it on his shoulders and walked into the dark room again, without saying a word.
The old duke in the house looked at the young man in front of him, "From today onwards you are Wellman. Count Star, heir to the Wellman family, remember who you are and don't let me down. As he spoke, he put his hand on his shoulder and patted it lightly.
"Father, don't worry, I won't let you down" The young man looked very respectful to the old duke.
"Alright, the engagement feast will begin soon, go meet your fiancée," the young man turned to leave, and the old duke was once again left alone in the house.
On the balcony, Yan Luomu Jingheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he looked at everything that happened in the house, everyone was actually just thinking about the problem from their own standpoint, but it caused a tragedy.
"I think I can probably guess the background of the game at the moment, the twin brothers are engaged to replace the identity of the elder brother and inherit the family, and the witch is misunderstood by the lover and resentful, so she curses," Mu Jingheng speculated.
"But I think there must be something we haven't found out yet, and is it true that such a free and easy girl will curse the other party's entire family for so long because she was abandoned by her lover, there must be a hidden secret in it" Yan Luo insisted on his opinion.
There was movement at the door, someone was about to come in, Yan Luo glanced at the room and found that there was no place to hide at all.
"It's locked, is there anyone in there" came with the sound of a key, and the door was about to be opened soon, and even worse, Wellman. Duke Shuk also seemed to hear the commotion, and got up and walked to the balcony.
Soon, the door was opened, and someone walked in,
"No one locks any doors."
When the visitor walked to the balcony, he met the old duke's gaze, and after greeting the duke, the visitor saw that there was nothing wrong with the room, so he turned and left.
At this time, in the upstairs room, Mu Jingheng and Yan Luo were resting in the corner of the balcony.
Time back to just now:
"It's too late, hold me tight" Yan Luo didn't have time to say more, and the next second her wings appeared, she waved her wings vigorously and hugged Mu Jingheng and flew up.
Mu Jingheng was a little stunned at first, but then reacted and immediately hugged her with his backhand.
Although it was a little difficult, there was no danger, and the two successfully reached the fourth-floor guest room.
"Huh~" After letting go of Mu Jingheng, Yan Luo put away her wings and leaned against the wall, her face was a little dizzy, and it took more effort to hug an adult man than she thought.
"It's okay, is this what you're capable of" Mu Jingheng looked at the woman in front of him, this teammate was more reliable than he imagined, not only did he not have the squeamishness of a girl, but he was also sober and calm enough.
"Well, what to do next, time is running out, we have to hurry up and get the key"
After a short rest, Yan Luo entered the state again, she didn't explain her ability, and acquiesced to Mu Jingheng's statement.
"Rush directly, since you have determined that the key is on his body, knock him out directly. But be careful to cover your mouth, don't let him make a noise to attract others, anyway, the time will reset again tomorrow, it won't have an impact" Mu Jingheng looked at the time, there are still 20 minutes until 8 o'clock, they are going to make a quick decision.
"Okay," after a brief discussion, the two returned to the 3rd floor again, the soldiers split into two ways, Yan Luo knocked on the door, and Mu Jingheng took the opportunity to sneak into Wellman through the balcony. The Duke of Dock's study.
When he heard the knock on the door, the old duke was staring at the picture of his wife on the table in a daze,
"Please come in", but the knocking on the door still didn't stop, Wellman. Duke Suck reluctantly got up and went to open the door.
As soon as he reached the door, he felt a sharp pain in his head, and then he fell to the ground.
"It's done", Mu Jingheng behind him casually threw the vase aside, ripped open the collar of the old duke, and took the key off his neck.
"The key is in hand, let's find a place to hide first, I just knocked him unconscious, and I guess he will wake up in a while" The two quickly left the scene of the crime,
At 8 p.m., the familiar bell rings again, and the players lose consciousness again.
