In the evening, the entire castle was pitch black, especially the third floor.
When Ruan Bai walked in, a deep chill almost hit her face, making her shiver uncontrollably.
What made her even more vigilant was that there were no lights on the third floor.
The entire corridor was dark and they couldn't see the light. They could only vaguely see a road, but they didn't know the layout here, nor did they know how to get there.
"Let me down," Xue Se waited for the place, and struggled quickly, "I can walk by myself!"
Ruan Bai felt that the little girl was also light and fluffy, and it was easy to hold her, but she was so ashamed at the sight of the snow that her voice was excited, and there should be no danger now, so she put her down.
"Where are we going?" Ruan Bai asked after Xue Se stood firm.
I couldn't see anything clearly here, and Ruan Bai didn't dare to move around easily for a while.
After the last lyric sounded, Ruan Bai guessed the reason why Xue Se turned the cross upside down before.
She probably guessed that what the couple did was related to demons and the like based on the books in the bookcase.
... So, Xue Se's upside down cross has no special meaning at all, it just wants to tell Ruan Bai that there is a "demon".
Ruan Bai has always been quite confident in her IQ, but sometimes, this is also one of her flaws, for example, she likes to be smart, but she is also prone to overthinking, being misled by some information, and restrained by others.
She gradually realized that perhaps in the case of intellectual clearance, these ideological tasks should be done by Xuese.
She has more important things to focus on elsewhere.
When the weird black fog outside hit the entrance on the third floor, it was like touching an invisible membrane, and they couldn't get in no matter what.
After noticing this, Ruan Bai didn't relax too much.
It's safe here, but extremely dangerous.
This kind of black mist is extremely dangerous, but they dare not enter the third floor. Is this because the game gave them shelter
No, it should be said that there is something on the third floor that can scare them.
Thinking of a brighter place, maybe something like holy water from the Holy See that can exorcise demons.
Thinking about the worst, that is on the third floor, there are more terrifying existences than this black mist.
After knowing that the couple actually wanted to summon demons, Ruan Bai believed that it was probably the latter case.
Otherwise, they worked so hard to summon demons out to do something, just want to try to see if there are any demons in this world
However, Ruan Bai thought so much, but in reality, only a second or two passed.
After asking Xueshi, she herself began to discover the details that the game wanted to provide them.
She's not one to be completely dependent on others, especially in an escape game.
If Xue Se's opinion is the same as hers, she naturally has no objection, if not, through communication, Ruan Bai can also discover his own shortcomings.
And after calming down and carefully observing here, Ruan Bai discovered something strange that he hadn't noticed just now.
On the third floor, there was a slight stench.
This kind of smell is actually quite difficult to find, because in the old castle, many places are fragrant.
Especially the third floor, perhaps because of the elegant taste of the owner, the fragrance is much stronger than that on the first and second floors, just like the kind of fragrance that is popular in the public toilets of some large shopping malls.
When Ruan Bai came up with Xue Se in his arms, he almost sneezed.
And that stench was completely covered by the fragrance, Ruan Bai sniffed it carefully, only to find out the strangeness.
The stink and the extremely strong fragrance are mixed together, forming a weird smell that is difficult to ignore.
"It stinks," she said softly. "There might be something wrong here."
No, it should be said that there is something wrong with the place on the third floor.
Xue Se's facial features were not as sharp as Ruan Bai's, and when she heard Ruan Bai's words just now, she was silent for a long time.
After hearing Ruan Bai's words, she raised her head and asked, "Can you be sure where the smell is coming from?"
Ruan Bai nodded.
This is not difficult for her, it can even be said to be a piece of cake.
It's just about Xue Se, do you want her to go to the source of the smell
Sure enough, Ruan Bai just thought of this, and the next second Xue Se said: "Then let's go there."
Where there is a smell, there must be something waiting for them, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, it is worth going.
Thinking of this, Ruan Bai took Xue Se's hand and took the first step gropingly.
The remaining players behind her did not hesitate, and followed closely behind Ruan Bai.
Ruan Bai saw that the surroundings were too dark, and originally thought about finding the system for a flashlight.
But after thinking about it, her system is different from other people's systems.
She had already asked Gu Buchao before, and there were very few daily things in their system stores, including flashlights.
In the previous world, she didn't pay much attention, but here, Xuese is very smart and can easily find something wrong.
She was not afraid of Xuese, but she always felt that if something abnormal was discovered, it would be difficult to deal with it.
But having said that, it seems that since the last world, the system that chats with her from time to time has not appeared much.
Except for saying a few words when issuing tasks, the rest of the time, it was as if he was dead, and he refused to snort at all.
Ruan Bai couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, maybe the system was afraid of affecting her performance in the game.
Putting aside these distracting thoughts, she led the group of people slowly towards the source of the smell.
The corridor on the third floor was more rugged than that on the second floor. She walked through the corridor, passed the living room, and finally stopped in front of a room.
And outside the door of this room, the stench became more and more obvious, and even the smell couldn't be suppressed.
Ruan Bai looked at the players around, and tentatively asked: "Then I opened the door?"
One of the players shook his head and said, "Let me find you a piece of wood."
They have a deep impression of Ruan Bai as a weak woman. Although Ruan Bai can hold a twelve-year-old girl and run faster than them, but in their impression, she is still a weak girl who will be bullied by the eldest lady. Baozi can even cry in the kitchen because of sprained feet.
What's even more pitiful is that the male player she finally fell in love with disappeared just now, and probably died in the black mist.
Now there are only a few players alive. In order to survive, it is also a good thing to help each other and unite as one.
Ruan Bai sensed their thoughts and didn't say anything. He waited obediently for the male player to break a thin wooden branch from a potted plant beside him and give it to her.
Then, she unscrewed the doorknob and opened the door of the room with a wooden branch.
clack clack...
The moment she pushed the door open, there was a strange noise inside the door!
Ruan Bai's hands trembled slightly, but he saw more than a dozen black, unknown things squeezed out from the crack in the door!
She quickly let go of her hand and threw away the wooden branch, those strange things also squeezed out, frantically fluttered their wings, and flew away to other places.
"It's a bat," someone said, "you should be able to go in and have a look."
So Ruan Bai took a deep breath and continued to push the door open.
As the door was opened, the stench inside became more apparent.
Through the moonlight outside the open window, Ruan Bai narrowed his eyes and saw everything here clearly.
It is very similar to the secret room in the previous study, and there are also strange rune patterns painted everywhere here. Judging from the color, it is very likely that it was drawn with blood.
And in the corner, there were many corpses of things like bats and mice.
The stench was largely caused by the corpses of these small animals. As for the walls on both sides, there were densely packed upside down crosses.
In the corner, there were several jars that were upside down. Unused blood flowed out from the mouth of the jars, spilled on the floor, and condensed into black solids. It was said that things like devils would like dirty things. The Bao couple will prepare in this way, and they are no exception.
Just why prepare two for the same room? Because Father Du has already discovered the first one
Ruan Bai didn't think too much, and continued to observe.
She walked along the bloodstains on the ground and found that they should have been painted in one go.
It's just drawn somewhere, maybe an accident happened, and the pattern disappeared halfway through the drawing.
The place where the pattern disappeared was exactly where the jar of blood fell to the ground.
Ruan Bai walked slowly to the edge of the wall, only to see on the snow-white wall, there was a hasty sentence written with blood on his fingers——
"I regret... It is not a devil, but a more terrible being than a devil!"
[I regret it... it is not a demon, but a more terrifying existence than a demon! ]
An existence more terrifying than demons
And to be honest, this couple is scary enough... Even they are scary, so what exactly did they summon
When he saw this, Ruan Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he was inexplicably uneasy.
She quickly took a few steps back, wanting to leave here.
At this moment, they entered the door of the room, which inexplicably closed by itself in the absence of wind.
Accompanied by a sharp "squeak - ah -" sound, the wooden door was heavily buckled on the door frame, making a violent crashing sound.
Ruan Bai reacted the fastest. When there was a change at the door, she quickly turned around and ran towards the door.
It's just that no matter how fast she moved, she couldn't close the door as fast as she could.
It was too late, she could only watch helplessly as the door was closed.
And before the door was closed, there was a person standing outside the door.
Father Du, who had disappeared for no reason before, now stood quietly outside the door, looking coldly at everyone in the house.
The moment the door closed, its dark eyes looked at Ruan Bai, and a creepy smile appeared on his pale and stiff face.
Ruan Bai's heart sank instantly.
What made her even more uneasy was that the next second, there was a scream from behind her.
Ruan Bai looked back, and saw two figures appearing in the originally empty room.
It is the couple of the old castle.
They were still wearing the clothes they had when they were alive, their faces were pale and expressionless, but their hands were covered with blood.
The couple who turned into ghosts stood in the middle of the house, looking resentfully at every player who broke into here.
Ruan Bai has long been used to such emergencies. After discovering that there were two more ghosts here, although she was flustered, she quickly calmed down.
After all, there are too many such things...
If you really want to count, Ruan Bai doesn't even know how many times he was attacked by ghosts.
Just a little bit made her originally quiet heartbeat continue to speed up.
For some reason, the mermaid bell on her chest became hot again.
