Chapter 98: Castle Cry (25)

Views:

The garden on the rooftop was in a mess, and the signs of explosions and fires were everywhere. Qi Leren took a deep breath of the air with gunpowder smoke and dampness, then walked to the treasure chest left by Mad Lady after her death, hesitated, and turned back to summon Dr. Lu: "Come and open the box!"

Dr. Lu came running chatteringly, stumbled on the bumpy ground along the way and almost fell, but fortunately Su He by the side helped him.

"Do you really want me to open it for you?" Dr. Lu asked seriously, his eyes shining and he couldn't hold back.

"I'm sure and sure." Qi Leren said equally seriously, at this time, it is necessary to trust Ou Huang, not to be cheap.

"Uh... Su He, is there any rule or metaphysics for opening the box?" Doctor Lu asked.

"Usually, most of the treasure chests are bizarre one-time items, a few are skill cards, and some are purely card slots or attributes, and some people have even encountered random tasks. There are almost no rules to follow, or Look at your luck, in fact, skill cards are not necessarily good, but some items will be useful at critical moments, if you are lucky enough, maybe you will open the legendary resurrection item." Su He said with a smile.

Qi Leren's heart froze for a moment, he forced himself not to see Su He, and he didn't know whether Su He suddenly mentioned the resurrection prop on purpose or not, he could only try to pretend to be natural enough...

It must be a coincidence... Su He mentioned a similar resurrection skill card a long time ago, but now, it is just to explain the relationship between unboxing and luck. He is completely guilty of being a thief!

"Then I'll open it. If I open a bound skill card, I won't have your share." Dr. Lu reminded Qi Leren.

Qi Leren forced his composure: "Let's go."

Dr. Lu put his finger on the lock, and the golden box opened.

Dr. Lu glanced at the skill card, and said with a wow, "It should be good, now."

[Devil's Etiquette] (unbound skill card): Each use requires a piece of demon crystal. If there are not enough demon crystals in the package, the skill cannot be used. While equipping this skill, the player will transform into a demon of the same type according to the type of demon crystals consumed, but will not gain the demon's talent skills. The skill lasts for 3 hours, and the cooldown is 24 hours.

This is…

Qi Leren stared blankly at the skill card in his hand. He intuitively told him that this skill card was unusual, but he couldn't tell what was unusual. He glanced at Su He for help: "This card... should be Is it useful?"

Su He took the skill card and glanced at it, and said somewhat unexpectedly: "Very good skill, if there is a task involving demons in the future, maybe you can pretend to be a person from the demon camp, but you need demon crystals..."

Su He didn't go on, just gave Qi Leren a meaningful look, and the latter immediately understood what he wanted to say: it's better for him to stay away from the demon crystal now, otherwise the slaughter seed on him will quickly get out of control of.

"Looks like I'm lucky, hey." Dr. Lu said triumphantly.

Su He looked at him with a smile and nodded in appreciation.

"Go back and invite you to dinner." Qi Leren stretched out his hand to pat Dr. Lu's shoulder, but as soon as his arm was lifted, his arm, which was severely bruised when he rolled on the ground to avoid Madame Madam, suddenly ached.

Seeing this, Dr. Lu quickly took a picture of him for treatment: "Now you don't have to worry about the cooling down of your skills. Let's treat you first. Although it can't be completely cured, it's better than nothing."

The skills of "Three No Doctors" are quite reliable. At least the bruise on Qi Leren's forehead, the cuts on his arms and the abrasions all over his body quickly scab, but it can only go so far. If he is now What he received was a fatal injury, and this skill was powerless, and at most let him die a little slower.

The wound healed and the pain eased. Qi Leren waved his arm happily and thanked him. Seeing that Su He was still studying the ashes left by Mad Lady's death, he asked curiously, "What's wrong? ?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a little strange. After Dr. Lu burned the demon's sacrifice, Madam Madam not only did not weaken, but became stronger..." Su He said after thinking for a while, "It probably caused her to become mad. Well, at first, her body was hard and it was difficult to hurt her. After burning the sacrifice, her defense and speed dropped significantly, and using the ashes left by Luo Xueyi should have further stimulated her power to attack. The strength and means of attack have become stronger, and this state cannot last for too long. If you were not in a hurry to attack but avoided the edge for a while, she should soon enter a weakened state."

Qi Leren scratched his head, although he tried his best to dodge just now, but a few strands of hair were still scorched by the fire rain, giving off a strange smell: "Unfortunately I didn't find half of Xiao Hong's body, otherwise it would have been more serious. To deal with something... why are you pulling my arm?"

Dr. Lu rolled his eyes, pulled his arm and pointed to the side: "You can't see well, add more vitamin A to enhance your night vision."

Looking in the direction of Dr. Lu's fingers, behind the bushes illuminated by the flashlight was Xiao Hong's half-corpse, half-hanging on a big tree, very conspicuous.

Qi Le was silent.

"It's too dark, and it's normal to not notice in an extremely tense situation." Su He calmly comforted Qi Leren.

Qi Leren continued to be silent.

The three burned the remaining half of Xiao Hong's body, and then left the rooftop garden. There was not much time left, and they had to leave the castle quickly to end the mission.

When they went downstairs, Qi Leren asked, "What is the completion rate of our task now?"

"91%." Su He said.

"Wow, you can get that lottery chance! More than 90% can get a random lottery draw once! I like it!" Dr. Lu was excited.

"It's still 9% worse, where is the difference?" Qi Leren recalled the plot of the mission and felt that they should not have missed too much.

Dr. Lu pondered: "Well, the storyline has almost been explored now. Sarah fell in love with John who was not a nobleman a long time ago. For some purpose - maybe it was love, maybe it was profit - he and Sarah Combined. Sarah finds out that her maid Adeline is having an affair with John, she secretly kills Adeline and pretends she ate food allergies to death, no one finds out it's a murder except Mrs Sarah Fleischer, the family doctor. The chronological order of the above events is unclear, but it is generally true. After that, Mrs. Sarah and Mr. John came to China to do business and lived in the old castle they built, in order to help Ai Delin's revenge, Dr. Fleischer also came to China from Germany. In order to prevent Mrs. Sarah's family genetic disease from being passed on to the next generation, Mr. John has been using the method provided by Dr. Fleischer for contraception. He instructed the maid Nina to Mrs. Sarah put mercury powder in her diet. Nina later found out about it. Nina was worried that she was poisoning Mrs. Sarah, so she reduced the dose without authorization. Later, Mrs. Sarah became pregnant. She heard Fleischer The conversation between the doctor and Mr. John revealed that they planned to continue to put mercury powder in, so that Mrs. Sarah gave birth to a deformed fetus and then tried to kill it. Nina was afraid of Mrs. Sarah's genetic disease, and created an accident, and Mrs. Sarah fell Down the stairs and miscarried. After the miscarriage, Mrs. Sarah's mental state deteriorated sharply - there may be Dr. Fleischer's hands and feet - she began to suspect that everything was the work of the dead Adeline's wraith, and the relationship between husband and wife began It broke. Then the devil bewitched her in the mirror and taught her how to sacrifice. In order to save his love, Mrs. Sarah, who loved her husband, sacrificed to the devil. But the sacrifice made her more and more mentally ill Seriously, until in the end she sacrificed Nina, went completely mad, and Mrs. Sarah, under the control of the evil personality, killed everyone, set the castle on fire, and the story ended."

"It sounds like we haven't missed any important clues." Qi Leren felt that the clues they got were complete, but they didn't expect 9% of the omissions.

Su He analyzed the two in an orderly manner: "This degree of completion means that we have completed the main plot, the conclusion of the puzzle solving part is correct, and what is missing are some clues and evidence. If we must go deeper, there are three hidden lines that we have not explored. One is about Nina, her behavior seems reasonable, but it seems strange to go deeper. In order to prevent Mrs. Sarah from having a genetic disease after giving birth to the child, she chose to secretly cause her to miscarry. Wouldn't this lead to Sarah? Madam is crazy? Her original words are also very intriguing 'I seem to be bewitched by demons', so whether she is affected by demons like Madame, we don't know. And when the last demon sacrifice was found, it appeared in In the phantom, Nina's attitude is also very subtle. She sympathizes with the mad lady and also implies guilt, but faintly, she is also jealous, that is not the look of a well-behaved and obedient maid. Another point, Nina said that since she After confessing to Mr. John that she had reduced the dose of mercury powder, the matter was handed over to other maids, and she was also locked up, but after Mrs. Sarah had a miscarriage and went crazy and was locked in the basement, it was still Nina. In charge of delivering her meals... what did she do to make John trust her again?"

Su He stroked the decoration on the cane, and unhurriedly analyzed the plot. He excavated every detail, which was creepy. Qi Leren suddenly thought of a possibility that Nina pushed Madame down the stairs and caused her to miscarry. Is it really for her? Does this really not kill two people? Was Nina's original intention really to help Mad Lady? What is she trying to do

"The second is Luo Xueyi. She suddenly appeared on the stairs with the portrait hanging and died with Xiao Hong's half body. She was even more complicated than Nan Lu, and her behavior was full of metaphors. And the mystery, from her disappearance to the last ***, we should have missed a lot of plots about her, resulting in a drop in completion. Finally, Dr. Fleischer, don't forget, Dr. Fleischer's There is no evidence, it's all subjective. We must have missed some evidence against Dr. Fleischer, such as the mercury powder or hallucinogens he left behind somewhere in the castle, and even his relationship with Dr. Fleischer. More letters from Mr. John."

Qi Leren thought deeply. The clues about the first two are not easy to find, but there should be hope for Dr. Fleischer's things to be found. Where should I find it? It should be John's study on the second floor, but he, Dr. Lu and Nan Lu have searched that study before, there should be no more clues, can we find it now? This is the surface world after the fire, even if there are clues, I am afraid...

"Let's go, do you still want to pass the level 100%? Don't waste your time, and finish the task quickly." Dr. Lu took Qi Leren, who was still thinking, and walked down the stairs together.

"Wait a minute. The key, give me the key to the second floor!" Qi Leren suddenly remembered something and grabbed Dr. Lu's shoulder, "No, you don't need the key, you come with me!"

"Ah? What are you doing?" Dr. Lu, who was at a loss, was pulled by Qi Leren, and ran to the second floor on the broken floor.

With the memory of the room distribution in the castle, Qi Leren quickly found the room he was looking for. At this moment, his mind was full of the words she said when he went to see Nina for the last time - she. She sneaked out of the husband's study, wanting to surprise him... Then she saw that the husband missed her with the photo of Adeline. I thought she was going to rush in and make a big fuss with Mr. like before, but she didn't.

The door opened.

In the old and dilapidated study, facing the door is the sofa Nan Lu once sat on, and a painting hanging on the wall behind the sofa. The house was not badly burned, and John, the handsome man in the portrait, could still be seen.

Qi Le people strode in. The position that would be seen by the Mad Lady standing at the door could only be here.

He carefully removed the frame and turned it over. Sure enough, there was a photo behind the frame.

Qi Leren's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he vaguely realized that he should have found an important clue. He took a deep breath, took the photo down, and turned it to the front.

There is only one person in the photo, what appears to be a young teenage girl, dressed in a maid's costume, smiling at the camera.

"Is it Adeline?" Dr. Lu asked, looking at the photo.

Qi Le people suddenly understood.

"She still has a name." Qi Leren closed his eyes and recalled the girl who finally walked to the altar and cheated the devil in the cold underground palace.

"Her name is Isabel, and a... wonderful witch."

In the photo, the smiling maid Adeline and Isabel who won the witch sacrifice are superimposed.

It's a story of love, deceit, jealousy and madness in which everyone gets lost in their own desires and sins, whether it's John who's obsessed with her, Sarah who's jealous for her, Nina who's instigated by her , or Fleischer, who avenged her, were toyed with by her like a marionette.

In such a blink of an eye, the witch Isabel who served the Demon King of Deception was already a witch who was good at manipulating people's hearts.
