Chapter 742 The Witch
Zhang Yuanqing, Zhai Cai, and Tianxia Guihuo, who had already inspected the corpse, began to search for valuable clues, while Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang continued to observe the corpse, trying to find clues that their companions missed.

He opened the closet, threw out the layered and gorgeous skirts, took out the silver coins hidden in the wooden box, and carefully looked at the jewelry.

Zhai Cai rummaged, inspected and sniffed lightly on the bed.

The red chicken brother, who is not good at fine work, stood by the bed, watched the single-pass knight pouted on the bed, looked around, looked around, sniffed lightly from time to time, and asked curiously:

"What are you doing?"

Zhai Cai looked up at him: "I'm looking for evidence of Bigfoot's murder."

"What?" Brother Red Chicken was taken aback.

"Bigfoot likes to rob women and eat human organs. Now that the evidence of eating human organs has been found, I have to look for the second evidence." Zhai Cai said.

"Why didn't you think of it when you checked the corpse?" Brother Hongji felt that what he said was reasonable.

"I am an upright knight, that would offend Ya Lance, even though she is already a corpse!" While speaking, Zhai Cai twisted a long strand of hair from the pillow, "It seems that Ya Lance did not other injuries."

Brother Red Chicken didn't understand and asked, "Why!"

"Because the bed has not been replaced, and there is no sign of struggle around the corpse, our Mr. Dong has already analyzed it. The deceased was swallowed in a coma." Zhai Cai tirelessly explained, looking like a good teacher.

Usually such people like to appear before others.

Brother Hongji suddenly realized, with regret on his face, he said bitterly: "Damn it, so I'm not the murderer, so it's difficult."

"I didn't say you're cleared of suspicion. You do have Bigfoot blood, but you're just a bastard. Maybe Monroe doesn't like women, he just likes to eat their internal organs." Zhai Cai said with a smile.

Brother Hongji felt that he was swearing, but he couldn't refute it.

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing's voice attracted everyone: "Come and see, here is a note."

Brother Hongji and Zhai Cai by the bed, Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang by the window, and Tian Tianguihuo who was rummaging through the closet all put down what they were doing and rushed to the desk.

The desk was clean, with a bottle of carbon ink, a quill pen, and several rolls of paper made of flax fiber and diluted cotton. They were originally tied with hemp rope, but Zhang Yuanqing had untied them at this time.

— There are no books in this age!

The team members rushed behind Zhang Yuanqing, watching the simple books in his hand.

On the paper were written in rather scribbled letters:
"Dong is a charming man. I found emotional comfort and physical pleasure in him. I wanted to keep him and let him be the male master of the castle, but he had a taboo against the Lance family. I have a strong curiosity, this kind of curiosity will destroy my family, I have no choice but to expel him"

Brother Hongji was not ashamed to ask: "What is written on it?"

Zhai Cai said, "Writing about physical joy and emotional comfort!"

Zhao Chenghuang said in a deep voice: "Jumang's character, Dong, is the lover of the owner of the castle."

He translated the content on the paper to Brother Red Chicken.

"So you are the murderer, right? You killed the owner of the castle in order to obtain the taboo of the Lance family." Brother Red Chicken suddenly realized.

However, no one paid any attention to him. Zhang Yuanqing put down the paper in his hand, picked up another copy and showed it to everyone:

"Every night, I can hear the cat meowing from the bottom of the castle, she is getting more and more active, God, what should I do, our family has lost its magic. God, I pray to you, save my family Bar."

Zhang Yuanqing said: "Only the information recorded on these two pieces of paper is valuable. Don't look at the others. They are the accounts of the castle's cashier and income."

Zhai Cai rubbed his chin, "Let's sort out the plot and combine the character information disclosed by Jumang before, um. The ancestor of the Lance family was proficient in magic and sealed 'her' in the bottom of the castle. The 'her' family taboo, not long ago, The seal was loose, and Ya Lance would hear cats meowing every night, which should be a symbol of "her" recovery. The magical inheritance of the Lance family was cut off, so Ya Lance could only turn to his old lover Master Dong for help, although Master Dong Once coveted the taboo that was sealed under the castle."

"I didn't expect it to be a lover relationship." Zhang Yuanqing looked at Sun Miaomiao: "Wo Nendie?"

Sun Miaomiao: "Get lost!"

Zhao Chenghuang frowned:
"Now that the owner of the castle has been brutally killed, does it mean that the 'she' from the bottom of the castle has come out? In this case, the murderer who killed the owner of the castle should be 'she'.

"If this is the case, we will find the name of 'her' next, and then read it together to pass the level."

Zhang Yuanqing said:

"Then let's go through the plot and look for the underground of the castle to see what's there. Anyway, everyone's skills and inventory are not sealed, even if they encounter monsters, they still have the power to fight.

"Hey, Guan Ya was killed by the plot and fell into a box. We can only investigate the case by ourselves."

His proposal was approved by his teammates. The group left the room of the owner of the castle, went down the stone steps, returned to the first floor, and found a wooden door wrapped in iron at the end of the corridor on the left.

The lock on the iron door was picked.

Zhang Yuanqing stretched out his hand and pushed lightly, the iron door squeaked open, and it was dark behind the door, and the polished granite steps extended down into the darkness.

The damp, rotting air rushed into his nostrils.

"I use resentful spirits to explore the way." Sun Miaomiao said.

After her teammates nodded, she spat out a Transcendent Spirit Servant in a dirty sarong and drove it to float into the basement.

After about 10 minutes, Sun Miaomiao said in a low voice:

"There is no danger below, it is indeed a sealed place."

Hearing this, Brother Hongji squeezed away the crowd, held a basketball-like fireball in his palm, and walked down the stone steps into the basement first.

The fireball burned, and the orange light smeared on the stone wall, shaking like water.

The sound of everyone's footsteps echoed in the silent basement, and they walked down the stone steps in less than 3 minutes and came to the basement of the castle.

The basement of the castle has not been visited for many years. There are cobwebs on the corners of the walls, and the stone bricks on the ground are covered with irregular mud marks. This is the trace formed by the moisture in the air after the accumulation of dust.

The size of the basement is huge, and the basketball-like fireball is not enough to illuminate it. Brother Red Chicken raised his hands and condensed a large fireball with a diameter of one meter, which illuminated the entire basement.

The basement is empty as a whole, and there is a sarcophagus in the center. The sarcophagus is located on a circular array, and the circular array is countless hexagrams of different sizes.

At this time, the coffin lid of the sarcophagus has been lifted, lying on the side.

Runes?Zhang Yuanqing could tell at a glance that the circular formation and the formation depicted by the cardinal in the copy of "Thriller Cruise" are very similar, and they should come from the same source.

Zhai Cai looked at the circular formation on the ground by the light of the fire, frowned and said:
"Black magic, a variant of runes! I understand, the Lance family is a witch family, and the source of black magic is runes. Compared with pure runes, black magic is more sinister and cruel, and because it doesn't For the sake of authenticity, practitioners can only be women, so many witch families appeared in the Middle Ages."

Sun Miaomiao pointed to the sarcophagus and said:

"There's something in the coffin."

Everyone moved closer and looked inside the sarcophagus through the light of the fire, only to see a skinned cat lying in the sarcophagus. The tender red flesh was shocking, and the amber vertical pupils were wide open, which was extremely terrifying.

"Cat? Guan Ya wrote in the paper that she hears the cat meowing every day. Is this the one? But why did it die?" Brother Red Chicken wondered, he had forgotten the name of the owner of the castle, the name of the foreigner I can't remember watching it several times.

Everyone couldn't answer, and they were speechless for a while, and they all looked at the single pass knight of the Holy See.

Zhai Cai glanced around and turned the coffin lid over. In the dancing flames, he saw the front of the coffin lid, with blood depicting twisted and weird incantations.

The single-pass knight suddenly showed a look of surprise, and said:

"Cats are sacrificed."

He pointed to the incantation on the front of the coffin lid, "This is a kind of sacrificial magic, specially used to summon and resurrect evil things. In black magic, cats are the symbol of night, and blood is a material rich in negative power. For witches with magic, cats are not only a tonic, but also a good carrier of black magic. In the Middle Ages, witches liked to keep a cat as a backup.”

"So 'she' has come out." Zhang Yuanqing nodded, "The one sealed in the coffin should also be a witch, a witch who has grievances with the Lance family."

As soon as the voice fell, a reminder sound came from everyone's ears:
[Successfully unlocked the taboo secret of the Lance family, you have attracted the attention of 'her', she activates a skill every half an hour to make the castle enter the night, she will randomly kill a member at night, please do so within three hours Find the murderer. 】

[Remark 1: It is forbidden to use skills and props in the dark. 】

[Remark 2: Under the influence of her power, the time limit for points becomes invalid, and you can choose to use points or not use points. 】

"I knew it wasn't that simple." Ten thousand mud horses galloped past in Zhang Yuanqing's heart.

"It's getting more and more interesting, it's getting more and more interesting!" Zhai Cai also had ten thousand words of "fuck" in his mind.

The difficulty has soared!
"Half an hour, we still have half an hour!" Tian Tian Gui Huo spoke quickly: "We don't have enough clues, we must hurry up."

"It's not half an hour anymore," Zhang Yuanqing shook his head, "Do you still remember the rules we saw when we came in? The duration of the scroll is only three hours, Guan Ya is dead, and there are six of us in total. The time period is over, so the time should be counted from the time of entering the copy."

"It's only 10 minutes!" Zhao Chenghuang's face changed slightly, Ye Youshen was very sensitive to time.

Counting from the time they got the characters, they have been in the scroll for 10 minutes.

Brother Hongji became anxious when he heard this: "What to do, what to do, we haven't found out who the murderer is, 10 minutes is not enough, as expected, the battle dungeon is the best, or give it a go, everyone read my name together."

"What's the rush!" The more difficult the dungeon, Zhang Yuanqing became calmer, "One person dies in half an hour, we have six people, we can die five times, as long as the last person successfully solves the case, we can live."

His calm tone and calm expression infected everyone.

"But we don't even have a direction to investigate." Sun Miaomiao frowned.

Zhang Yuanqing said: "The prompt for the direction of the investigation has already told us that the points are the key to this case. The rules outside tell us to use the points early, and the prompt emphasizes the points again."

"How to use the points?" Sun Miaomiao asked.

"I don't know!" Zhang Yuanqing walked up to the stone steps: "Go back up first."

This time they didn't walk up the steps, but jumped to the top of the steps in one leap and returned to the castle.

They rushed to the second floor non-stop, and the people did not enter Ya Lance's room again. They split up and searched other rooms tacitly.

There are seven or eight rooms on the second floor.

Brother Red Chicken kicked towards the door of the first room on the left side of the stairs, but he didn't open it. This simple wooden door was hung with a rusty iron lock, which seemed fragile but indestructible.

Brother Red Chicken held the copper lock, and after a few seconds, he found that the item information popped up.

"Master Dong, this is your room, you need points to unlock it."

The team members flocked and gathered in front of the simple wooden door. Zhang Yuanqing held the copper lock and read the item information:

【Name: Ordinary door lock】

【Type: Metal Products】

【Function: Anti-theft】

[Introduction: Master Dong's door lock has been restricted and needs to be opened by the owner himself. 】

[Remarks: To open this lock, ten points are required. 】

Zhang Yuanqing saw a dialog box appear in the field of vision:

【Whether to pay 10 points,】

"Pay!" He chose to open the door without hesitation.

The rusty iron lock bounced open.

At this time, everyone heard a shrill and sharp meow, and then, the light in the castle quickly dimmed, and night fell.

PS: The typo is corrected first and then corrected.
