Fifty-eighth bowl of soup (eight)
In the dark night, the snow-white castle is particularly conspicuous. I don’t know why, when they went out, the moon was still very round and big, but the strange thing is that as soon as they passed through the dense grove, the moon suddenly turned dark blue ink-colored, hanging white in the sky, inexplicably a little creepy .
It was obviously summer, and it was hot like something, but now they suddenly felt a little cold.
Staring at the castle in the night, a girl gently tugged on the arm of her boyfriend beside her: "Carl, let's not go in, shall we? I'm afraid..."
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Carl comforted his girlfriend, patted the back of her hand, and still stared curiously and slightly excitedly at the legendary haunted castle. He is a college student. He usually likes supernatural things. He often writes articles for fiction magazines, and he especially likes watching horror movies. There will be ghosts in the world!
If there is, then he really wants to see it.
The girl felt a little relieved when her boyfriend held her hand. There are a total of two couples in their group of five, both of whom belong to the supernatural research club. They like these weird things the most, but the girl doesn't like them. The reason why she joined is because her boyfriend Karl is the founder of this club, otherwise she would I will never stay up late at night, and not play during a good holiday, but go on adventures with my boyfriend.
Nightingales were singing from time to time, their voices were indescribably sharp, and they continued to walk forward, the light of the flashlight seemed to be swallowed by a cloud of fog that was gradually spreading, and they could only see clearly the road in front of them three or two steps away.
The girl clutched Carl's arm tightly, tears were about to flow out of her eyes, she bit her lip and stared at the castle not far away.
According to legend, this is the place where the greatest and best Duke of Lance lived in the empire fifty years ago. He is handsome and handsome, and I don't know how many ladies in the empire have a crush on him. Later, Her Majesty the Queen made the decision and married a noble lady named Nicole to him as his wife. I heard that the duke and his wife loved each other very much, but the happy days did not last long. One day, all the people in the castle suddenly disappeared!
All servants including the master! Of course, Mr. Lance and his wife are also included!
Later, the queen ordered the father of the Duke of Lance's wife, the Duke of Abby, to investigate, but after a long investigation, there was no clue. The castle was quiet and dead. Duke Abby lost his beloved daughter, so he naturally wanted to find the culprit, but what was strange was that they didn't even find a body in the castle!
If it weren't for the blood on the ground, they would think that the Duke of Lance left with his wife and all the servants.
Of course this cannot be the case. The Duke of Lance is from country E, so he has no reason to leave, let alone seeing them leave. Even if the Duke of Lance wants to leave with his wife, why is there not a single servant left in this castle
After a long time, this became an unsolved case. Her Majesty the Queen no longer bothered about this matter, and planned to tidy up the castle and reward other meritorious ministers. But at this moment, something weird happened!
The minister who lived in moved out with his whole family within a few days, and Queen Ren refused to go in no matter what the benefits were! The queen was helpless, and later gave the castle to many people, but no one could live in it for a full week, basically crying and leaving after two or three days.
Over time, rumors of the castle being haunted also emerged.
Slowly, this place, once known as the most beautiful castle, was completely abandoned like this. No one lived in it, and no one mentioned it again. It has completely become an existence that people avoid talking about.
Fifty years later, someone is finally ready to find out what happened to the Haunted Castle.
Karl had been to many scary places that were said to be haunted before, but he was disappointed every time. He doesn't believe in ghosts in the world, but he likes supernatural time very much. What he loves most is to use his own personal experience to tell about so-called haunted places.
So not only did he bring a flashlight, but he also brought a video camera, one on everyone's hat, to record what he saw, otherwise how could he brag when he was out
At this moment, there was a strange sound, and the girl hugged Carl in fright, and Carl was also startled, and then he saw a group of bats flying out of the fog, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, Don't be afraid, it's just bats."
"Bat..." The girl couldn't help but think of the vampire plot, she gritted her teeth and asked Carl: "Are we really not going? I think this time is different from before..."
"What's the difference? It's not a lie." Another girl named Mei said disdainfully, "Susan, if you are afraid, go back. No one asked you to follow. Every time you explore, you are afraid." Scared, want us to go back, what's different this time from before?"
Susan bit her lip, but she just thought it was weird this time...
"Okay, it's okay, I will protect you, trust me, huh?"
Susan looked at Carl's face and nodded hesitantly.
Walking from the fog to the castle, they thought it would take fifteen minutes at most when they checked in the woods, but now they have walked for more than an hour. A boy named Mark asked Carl, "Did we go the wrong way?"
"Impossible, the location of the phone is clearly... eh?" Carl looked at the phone in shock, and found that the location was not displayed. He said sadly, "It's too bad, my phone is broken."
The others took out their mobile phones and checked. Fortunately, theirs was fine, which meant that something was wrong with Carl's mobile phone. They firmly believed that the direction was correct, so they continued to move forward, and this time they finally reached the entrance of the castle smoothly.
There were spider webs hanging on the black and gold door, and the three men pushed the door open forcefully, and the whole huge living room suddenly looked extraordinarily desolate. The swimming pool outside has dried up, the careful gardener has been lost, and all the roses have withered, leaving only a huge area to show how prosperous the castle was once, and how many people were proud of being invited by it. ;The hall is very long, with a long table, and there is no sound around. Carl said to the camera: "Look, I have said that all places that are said to be haunted are lies! I—"
"ah--!!!"
Everyone was startled, and when they came back to their senses, they found that it was Mei who screamed. "What happened?"
Mei trembled and pointed to a certain corner: "There, there was a woman just now, and suddenly she disappeared!"
"How is it possible, are you blind?" Mark laughed at her.
"I didn't! I'm not Susan. I won't yell casually. What I say is true!" Mei was unhappy.
"Then let's go over and have a look." said the most courageous Carl.
They walked over cautiously, but there was nothing. Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Susan suddenly pointed to the ground and asked, "What do you think this is?"
The floor has been covered with a layer of dust because no one has lived in it for many years, but there is a layer of black and red on the floor here. Carl bent down and twirled a little with his fingers and put it under his nose, his color suddenly changed, "It's blood!"
"That should have been left by the Duke of Lance back then, it's normal!"
"Normal fart! How many years have passed since the Queen gave the castle to so many people, how could there still be blood? And after so many years, how could the smell of blood still be so strong!" Mark reprimanded impatiently.
"Johnson, what do you think?" May turned to ask her boyfriend, only to find that Johnson wasn't listening to her at all, but was looking behind him stupidly. "Johnson, Johnson?"
Johnson's hands were also shaking, and they had explored many so-called haunted places together, but none of them had ever given him such an uncomfortable feeling. "Look... when we came... the way we came..."
The dust on the ground was thick, and there were footprints wherever they walked, but now except for their feet, those footprints are all gone!
Then they suddenly heard the slow sound of ticking, ticking, and everyone turned their heads again, and found that the long table began to drip blood at some point, one drop or two... falling to the ground, it became a dry black-red blood clot.
They were all so terrified that they even forgot to run away.
"You said you haven't seen a ghost?"
These words suddenly came out in the dead air, and the five people were even more frightened. Susan, who was the least timid, even cried out!
It was an old woman with a ferocious face. She was leaning on a cane at the moment, and she did not know when she appeared behind them. Seeing a few young people who were frightened to death, the old woman let out a quack laugh. Her face could hardly be seen clearly, especially the facial skin, which was full of bumps and pits, with countless scars running horizontally and vertically, which looked particularly terrifying.
"You, who are you!"
"Didn't you say you've never seen a ghost? Now I'll come out and let you have a look." The old woman laughed even louder. She snapped her fingers, and there was a muffled sound from all around, like fingernails scratching the wall.
The five people hugged each other, looking at the ghost figures spreading out of the wall in fear. Their faces were pale and their eyes were dull, but their expressions were full of fierceness. Just like that, Susan took the lead, and the other four couldn't hold on, and all rolled their eyes and passed out.
"Tsk, coward." The old woman who was still hunched over suddenly straightened up and stretched her waist, "I've been dead for so many years, I can't even scare people well, so get back into the wall!"
All the ghosts obediently rolled in, the old woman thought to herself, the time has finally come, she can go, as for the remaining ghosts... just let them go. Lance, that useless piece of trash, collapsed after only a few years of death, not as good as Nicole, who survived her torture for twenty years at least.
The next morning, Karl found them lying outside the grove. After they returned to school, they never mentioned supernatural things again.
