After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped slowly.
"Here we are." came the voice of Quicksilver in the tower.
Garen slowly opened his eyes, and looked out of the car window. On the simple and beautiful hillside, the two-storey buildings in Kenu Town were looming and sparsely dotted. A gray ox cart passed by the car. The driver was a little boy who was driving the cattle. He looked curiously at the black car he was riding in.
"Are you there?" Garen stretched.
"Yeah, it's a few hours' drive. This is the town of Kenu, and there is still a long mountain road to get to Yinsha Castle, but you can't drive on the road behind." Tali Shuiyin got out of the car and looked up at the sky. . "The weather is not very good, it seems that we have to get to Silver Shade Castle as soon as possible."
Garen opened the door and got out of the car, looking up at the sky.
The sky is full of gloomy gray clouds, the wind is a bit strong, and there is a slight dampness.
"It's noon, and the sky is still so dark, it looks like it's going to rain heavily today."
"Then let's get there before it rains." Bai Ying changed seats and sat in the driver's seat, "I'll go and register the car. You go find a carriage."
"no problem."
The three of them worked together, and quickly found a carriage driver who was willing to go to Silver Shade Castle at double the fare.
They got into the carriage and started on the road again. After driving for another two hours, the three of them finally arrived at the hillside they had been to before.
Standing on the slope of the dark green lawn, overlooking the ancient silver yarn castle in the distance.
The castle is still surrounded by ashes, and the soil itself and the surrounding soil are a burnt gray-white ash color, which is also mixed with black carbon black, which looks like coffee powder mixed with milk powder.
The three-pointed castle was silent, and the silence was a little strange. In the surrounding sky and woods, there is only the sound of wind blowing.
rumble
Rolling thunder came from the gloomy sky, from far to near, and from the top of the three of them to farther behind.
"Wow. This is the Silver Shade Castle? The atmosphere is quite good." Bai Ying laughed, not serious at all, but his eyes were secretly scanning the surrounding terrain quickly.
"We've been living here for the past few days. Originally, two people from the police station were staying here, but I informed them that they were evacuated yesterday. Limai's scene has hardly changed, and it's exactly the same as when Sivica was injured. .” Tali Mercury looked solemn, “Let’s go, it’s going to rain heavily.”
He took the lead and walked down the slope, followed by Bai Ying.
Garen took a closer look at a window on the second floor on the left side of the castle, which was where he was pushed down. And then followed closely.
The three of them walked on the dark green hillside, like three little ants crawling on the green carpet, extremely small.
Surrounded by large expanses of grass and woods, no other figures can be seen at all, only three people are slowly approaching the silver yarn castle in the center.
Click! !
Blue lightning flashed across the sky, and a blast of thunder sounded.
The three speeded up and walked into the castle fence, and soon came to the gate.
Tali Shuiyin took out the key to open the door, and Baiying looked around at the surrounding environment, frowning slightly.
Garen, on the other hand, looked at the castle in front of him, with a faint shadow in his heart.
Last time he was inexplicably pushed down the second floor, but he couldn't see anyone when he turned around, and he heard that giggling laughter. Now come to this old castle again. Therefore, the whole silver yarn castle was covered with a veil of mystery.
"If possible, it's best to go to that room from last time." Garen had never been afraid of fear in his previous life, although now his skin had slightly goosebumps and his scalp was a little numb. But it made him even more excited.
"The more afraid I feel, the more I expose my inner weakness. Isn't this world much more interesting than the previous life?" He thought silently in his mind.
creak!
The door opened.
The three of them entered the gate one by one, and then the quicksilver in the tower closed slowly.
The hall was dark, and Tali Mercury unloaded a torch from the wall, lit it and held it in his hand as a lighting tool.
"Separate or together?"
"Together, it will be troublesome to disperse the people who meet the golden ring." Bai Ying frowned.
"Indeed." Garen agreed.
"Then let's take a look at the scene first, the room where Sivka found the medal." Tali Shuiyin suggested.
Neither Garen nor Bai Ying had any objections, and the three of them went up the curved staircase to the second floor together.
The sound of crisp footsteps echoed throughout the entire castle, empty and penetrating.
Soon, the three of them returned to the room where Garen was pushed down.
With a click, the door was opened. A layer of white ash immediately fell from the top of the door frame.
"It seems that Kelly didn't live in this room last time. I thought you lived here." Tari Mercury smiled, "Why is there so much dust?"
He didn't go in, but squatted at the door and looked inside.
The room was a dilapidated sight.
The ground was covered with thick white ash, and there was a large bed, a box, and a stool, and nothing else.
Among the dust on the ground in the middle, there is only one line of footprints, which looks relatively light.
"This is Sivka's footprints. It looks like he should have found the medal on the bed or on the box, and then walked to the window for some unknown reason, and then jumped off." Tari Mercury said in a deep voice. "I didn't let anyone touch this scene here at all."
Bai Ying nodded, and then checked the furnishings of the entire room.
Only Garen, the moment he opened the door, his scalp felt numb, and goose bumps burst out all over his body.
He clearly remembered that he had entered this room at that time, and even the furnishings were exactly the same.
But now, it's only been a month or two since he came here last time, so it's impossible for so much dust to accumulate! !
The point is, the big bed in the room is obviously where Tali Shuiyin came to live! ! The bed is definitely replaced with a new bed, a very clean new bed!
But now, the big bed looks like it hasn't been used for many years. The bed is yellow and covered with dust and cobwebs.
"Tari, you came with me last time, didn't you live in this room?"
He squatted down, his voice dry.
"How could it be?" Tari Mercury glanced at Garen suspiciously, "Sivika was the only person who entered this room, and the ash on the ground would take at least many years to accumulate."
Garen recalled the scene when he came in last time, and an uncontrollable sense of eerie suddenly surged into his heart.
"So... which room was it that I entered last time?" He was a little confused. "Could it be that Tali deliberately spread ashes to pretend to be like this?"
He carefully checked the situation in the room. Stand at the door and look in.
Everything inside was the same as the last time he saw it, except that it looked dustier and dilapidated.
"What now?" he asked in a low voice. He didn't say what happened last time.
"Clean up, we'll stay in the two rooms next door, I want to see what's weird about this ancient silver yarn castle." Tali Shuiyin said without fear.
"How to allocate?" Bai Ying glanced at Garen, "The three of us share a room together and just move a bed. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of both of you."
Garen was silent for a while, waved his hand and said, "I don't need it, I'll sleep in one room alone, you two sleep together, Baiying is also convenient for you to protect the tower, don't forget that I'm not an ordinary person without the ability to resist .” He smiled.
"That's fine, this time I want to see what is the truth about the doom of the doom antique!" Tali Shuiyin nodded.
Click! !
Another flash of lightning made the faces of the three of them pale, and the rumbling thunder kept ringing.
clap clap clap clap..
Big drops of raindrops hit the windows of the castle, and soon turned into intensive large-scale knocking, continuous and crisp.
"who!!"
Tali Quicksilver's eyes suddenly focused, and he pulled out his pistol and aimed it behind Garen. The two were standing facing each other, and Tari Mercury's pistol was pointed at the corridor in the distance behind Garen.
Bai Ying frowned, he didn't feel that anyone was behind him, he also faced the tower like Gallon, looked back, and said doubtfully.
"What's wrong? I didn't feel anyone behind me."
Garen also looked back at the corridor, but there was no one there.
"No, I saw a black figure flashing past the end of the corridor. It was obviously spying on us just now!" Tali said sternly, "If it wasn't for the metal wall lamp on the right side of the corridor, I wouldn't have been able to spot that person's shadow."
"So you saw someone moving from the reflection of that wall lamp?" Bai Ying thoughtfully, looking at the wall lamp that Tali pointed to.
It was a brass wall lamp, and the strange thing was that the brass lamp holder was still bright, without any patina.
"Yes. Let's stay in the same room, it's safer." Tari whispered.
"I have no objection." Gallon nodded, looking at the bronze cross on Tali's neck, his eyes flashed with solemnity.
"Perhaps it's the people from Jinhuan. It seems that we need to be a little more vigilant. Let's see what kind of tricks they are playing!" Bai Ying said coldly.
The three of them each moved two single beds, stuffed them all into the next room, and then cleaned them up a bit, so they could barely sleep with their clothes closed.
Garen knew that Tali Mercury and White Eagle didn't really believe in doomed antiques. After all, as long as he had the news, what he said earlier could actually be faked. Instead, they think that these so-called doomed antiques should all be man-made disasters.
But he himself has no idea, this silver yarn castle is indeed a bit weird.
"This time it's not me who carries the Bronze Cross, but Tali. From another angle, I want to see what happens to the owner who carries the medal!" Garen kept secretly paying attention to the mercury in the tower while moving the bed.
boom!
A muffled sound suddenly came from outside the room, as if the wind was blowing the window and hitting the window lattice.
The three of them sat on the bed and on the stool. They didn't make a sound, just quietly listening to the movement outside.
The sound of the rain was getting louder and louder, like pouring water down hard with a scoop. The whistling wind came from other places in the castle, like a ghost screaming.
