"What are you doing here?"

The sudden sound was no less than a thunder in Wuming's mind, especially the gloomy chill in his tone, which made his whole body hair stand up instantly.

The cold sweat suddenly appeared, and Wuming took a few deep breaths and slowly turned around, and moved closer to the railing without leaving a trace.

The horrible old man who asked the names of everyone before stood behind Wuming. Seeing Wuming turning around, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Even if Wuming is not an ordinary person, he is still a little frightened at this time. In his heart, he calculated that the height of this place is less than three meters from the first floor hall. This height can be turned and escaped immediately even if he jumps down with his own skills.

But if this old man is an evil spirit, I am afraid that he is delusional at all. He has not turned his face with me yet, I am afraid that he has not triggered a dead end.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Wuming said in a calm tone as much as possible: "I can't sleep, so I just wander around."

Even when facing the old man who might be an evil spirit, Wuming still maintained a taciturn attitude.

Fortunately, after hearing this explanation, the old man put away the ferocious expression just now, and said coldly: "You can't get out of the room after midnight. This is the last warning. Go back quickly."

After saying this, the old man suddenly disappeared out of thin air!

That's right, he didn't conceal the slightest in front of Wuming's eyes, teleported away directly, and was a little dumbfounded by Wuming, it turned out that he was really an evil spirit! Remember URL

However, his psychological quality was really super strong, and he quickly reacted and couldn't stay any longer. The old man had already warned for the last time that he would directly kill him if he stayed for a while.

Wuming hurried upstairs. Although he was a little flustered, Wuming still maintained a normal speed. After all, he didn't know if he was panicked, he would be noticed by the old man again.

At this normal walking speed, he returned to the third floor in less than three minutes, but Wuming was not so honest. He walked while leaning on the railing and looked down at the structure of the castle.

He was about to arrive in the room where Wuming was in front. At this time, he looked around and found that the old man did not continue to appear. He suddenly became bold. Just now, the 2nd and 3rd floors have been observed, and the 1st floor was also looked at, only the 4th floor. The situation is unknown, so it shouldn't matter if you look up for a while.

Thinking this way, Wuming turned his mind and quietly dropped the lighter in his pocket on the ground.

With a click, it broke the tranquility of the corridor again. Wuming squatted down on the ground with some nervousness and looked around, and found that there was no abnormality, so he put his head out of the railing, first looked downstairs, but fortunately the old man did not appear. .

Wuming began to relax and wanted to see what was going on on the 4th floor, but before he raised his head, he felt a slimy sticky body falling on his scalp, and he could even feel that* *Also bring some temperature.

He frowned, and subconsciously touched it with his hand, and felt a mass of sticky phlegm sticking to his fingers. Wuming was taken aback but realized something in an instant. He suddenly turned around and looked up.

I saw an extremely pale, distorted facial features, and unshaven man, leaning on the railing on the 4th floor in the same posture, staring straight at him, his eyes were full of madness and hideousness, his mouth turned into an incapable grin. To the extent of imagination, he stretched out his long tongue, and with nameless unique eyes, he could even see a line of saliva hanging straight from his tongue.

In the dark and gloomy castle, there are only two people outside the room at present. On the third floor and the fourth floor, the two faces are less than 3 meters apart. They just look up and down. This scene is indescribably strange and terrifying. .

The nameless and powerful heart couldn't help beating frantically at this time. The moment he saw this face he was stunned, keeping his head up, not daring to move!

Staring at this man's horrible face, he could even read the expression on this face. It was a kind of joy and excitement, just like the excitement of a wolf who has been hungry for a long time when he suddenly sees a sheep.

Although it is very cumbersome to say, all this happened in less than three seconds. After Wuming stalemate with the man for a few seconds, it seemed that the man did not move anything except staring at him like this, and his heart was a little calmer.

He began to slowly move his body parallel to the door. During this period, he kept observing the man’s expression. The man seemed to be a piece of wood, keeping that posture motionless, but when Wuming was about to leave his sight, he Accurately captured a trace of disappointment in the man's eyes.

Before he could think about it, Wuming quickly opened the door, hurriedly got in, locked the door with his backhand, and leaned against the door to listen to the external movement quietly. After waiting like this for about half a minute, there was no abnormality.

He was finally able to go to the bathroom and start washing off these disgusting things. The water began to wash the nasty things, but the nameless mind began to extend.

The harvest this time was quite rich. First of all, I saw the portrait and the small characters engraved on the frame; and confirmed that the old man is the identity of the evil spirit.

But there are also more mysteries. Wuming always feels that these portraits are a little offensive. As for where there is an error, he feels that he can't remember it at all, as if this is a very ordinary and extremely secret place.

There is also that weird man, he should be about 50 years old. Is he a human or an evil spirit? What secrets are hidden on the 4th floor

Wuming took out his cell phone at this time, looked at Xu Lang's phone number, and called directly without hesitation.

For some reason, although off-site communication is prohibited, several executors can exchange information over the phone.

Wuming didn't give much consideration and directly shared these clues with Xu Lang.

Xu Lang, who received the call on the other side, was also very surprised. Unexpectedly, this nameless courage was so bold that he took the lead to venture out to explore clues. Xu Lang frowned and thought about it. He would never do it because of his own personality. Those who have done this kind of behavior, let alone the critical moment, even if someone needs to go to find the way, it will not be their turn to take the risk.

Wuming Jiang told Xu Lang all the things he had just experienced. In fact, in Xu Lang's view, Wuming's so-called going out to find clues had little effect on the task.

Regarding the portrait, in fact, as long as you go out during the day tomorrow, you can observe it, and the risk is still extremely low. Hanging in the corridor is for them to see. Why go out in the middle of the night to take risks.

However, Wuming is also considered a gain, and he has verified that the old man is an evil spirit. Moreover, a word of the old man made Xu Lang a little concerned.

"You are not allowed to leave the room after midnight, one last warning." Then this is a rule, and the first rule known to the executors. Think of the name of the mission "Place of Confinement", I am afraid that this castle exists There are many obscure rules, which are controlled by the evil spirit old man.

If the violation is the first time, a warning is given, and if it is violated again, it is hard to say what will happen. "It seems that you will have to be cautious in your words and deeds."

The appearance of the man on the 4th floor is also a weird point. The weird place in the general mission symbolizes clues, and it seems that the man is temporarily harmless. Of course, it is impossible to determine whether he is an evil spirit or not. It seems that 4 Sooner or later the problem of the building will be faced.

Wuming did not interrupt Xu Lang's thinking. Hearing the continuous silence on the other end of the phone, he knew that Xu Lang was digesting the information quickly. After a long time, Wuming asked, "Can you think of something wrong in the portrait? I always Can't figure out where there is a violation?"

When Xu Lang heard this, he reorganized the experience of the portrait that was said by the nameless. The alertness that was different from ordinary people made him immediately aware of the problem, and then said: "If you think about it, the second floor is No. 1-20, but The third floor starts from Hua Yu on the 22nd. Is there a painting missing in the middle?"

The nameless point is clear, and the immediate answer is: "Lack of the portrait of No. 21?"

"Yes"

Wuming frowned and thought about the situation at the time. It was true that the number 21 was missing, but even if he added it to its original position in his heart, the sense of violation in his heart never disappeared.

"No, even if the number 21 is added, I still feel that something is not right. It feels like a missing eye on a person's face, which is weird."

Xu Lang frowned and pushed his glasses: "Oh? Is that right... Forget it, wait until tomorrow when you can go out during the day and watch it carefully."

Then he hung up the phone and Xu Lang sighed. There are more and more doubts now. I haven't figured it out about the mirror frame and the old man, and there are more problems with portraits and pale men.

How many people are there in this castle

Xu Lang then informed Cheng Guoguo of the situation and wanted to ask him what he thought of the next move. But the call was delayed, he thought, it seemed that Cheng Guoguo was asleep.

He didn't think about how big his heart was, but it showed that he had already expressed his attitude: brake with silence and wait for dawn to see the old man's next move.

Thinking of this, Xu Langqun sent a message to other executors, "Long-term plan, adapt to the situation", and then lay down in **, began to sort out the clues in his mind and stopped acting.

Most of the executors who received the information were relieved, which showed that at least there would be no danger tonight, and each of them relaxed their tense nerves a little bit.

Even so, except for Cheng Guoguo, no one would go to sleep at ease. Almost all of them had their eyes rounded, for fear of something happening.

However, there was only one person who had unexpected changes in her room, and she was Jiang Hui.

I saw that she was still covering her head in the quilt, and she didn't even dare to change her pants when she got wet. The lower body and the sheets were all wet.

She didn't know when the backpack was opened, and an open notebook was revealed, with the word "Jianghui" clearly written on it.

While Jiang Hui was shaking constantly under the bed, a line of fonts suddenly appeared at the bottom of the empty mirror frame above his head, as if it had been carved out of thin air, appearing extremely abruptly.

"On the 41st, Jiang Hui, entered at 12:47 AM on May 1, 2016" (End of this chapter)
