Chapter 160 164: No Entry

The suburb where the castle is located is very remote, and Mahao is a road idiot, so he can only pin his hopes on the heroine Vera.

She neither wants them to be the first to reach it nor the last to reach it.

The vice-president is really a person who keeps pace with the times, and even started the routine of modern variety shows, playing the game of choosing a room.It is conceivable that if they arrive at the castle at the latest, the rooms left for them must be the most dilapidated and terrifying.

Ma Hao's thoughts couldn't help but run away, scaring herself out in a sweat.

The flashlight flickered faintly, illuminating a safe area among the lush grass in the suburbs.

The surrounding area was very quiet, not a single chirping of crickets or insects could be heard on a summer night, only the cool wind that didn't match the temperature moved the hem of the T-shirt.

Vera clamped the flashlight between her shoulder and the side of her face, and used the dim light to study the scribbled map provided by the vice president.

She cursed in a low voice, looking like she wanted to crumpled the map and threw it on the ground.It took them nearly an hour from leaving the club's meeting room to now, and they still haven't arrived at the designated place.

According to the time marked on the map, within an hour's journey, they should see the iron bars of the old castle.

Obviously, everything indicates that they are lost.

Ma Hao glanced at the map, immediately wrinkled his nose and moved his eyes away.

Well, even with a "smart and calm" heroine, such a map is hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.

"Vera, how about... let's go back the way we came?" Mahao suggested from the bottom of his heart.

It's best to bring back all the other members. Entering the castle will only be a tragedy in the end. As long as everyone goes home now, the tragedy will not happen.

"No." Vera shook her head without even thinking about it, "We spent an hour, are we going to make this hour of hard work useless?"

Ma Hao said: "But if we continue, it may become two hours of useless work."

"My dear Rae, you should trust your friends."

Vera took the flashlight off her shoulder, patted Ma Haohao's back, and said confidently, "I won't let us spend the next hour on this damn map."

She put away the map in her hand, folded it into a square cube, and put it back in her backpack, "Let's go, I believe my judgment is at least more useful than Rob's map."

Ma Haohao couldn't convince the heroine who was determined to explore first. She should have known Vera's unyielding character long ago. The more challenging things were, the more competitive she would be aroused.

How should she complete this task?

……

The two walked in the dark by the light of the flashlight. The weeds at their feet had not been cleared for a long time, and they were growing wildly in the wilderness without control. Soso's friction sound.

Mahao could sense that they were approaching the castle step by step, but the more she got to this moment, the more she looked like a frightened bird.Just the sound of the friction between the pants and the weeds can make her suspicious, and a hanging heart is about to be lifted into her throat.

"Rui! Look!" Vera's exclamation made Ma shudder, and quickly stabilized her mind to look in the direction of her flashlight.

—Rusty barbed wire.

Properly speaking, it is a large piece of rusty barbed wire wrapped around the wall of the castle, like a huge iron cage, imprisoning the monsters in the castle.

But this supposedly strong cage has gradually decayed under the ravages of wind and rain.The mottled rust, the twisted wire, and the open gate of the wall all indicate that the monsters have already escaped from the cage, and are waiting for the dinner to be delivered to the door.

Vera's light was moving, from the broken iron net to the ground not far away.

There lay a notice board motionless, with the words "Do Not Enter" written on it in red paint.

I just don't know why this warning sign fell in the hidden grass?Judging from its appearance, it has been in this place for a long time, and there are weeds growing from the bottom in the middle.

Ma Haohao didn't know whether it was blown down by the wind, or if it was thrown here artificially, but this "no entry" sign undoubtedly made her heart beat faster.

Vera's light didn't stay on the warning sign for long, she just glanced at it lightly, then walked towards the gate of the castle.Clearly, her curiosity had been piqued again.

Humans are such strange animals, knowing that they can't do anything.When someone repeatedly emphasizes "don't do it" and "don't touch it", it will make other people want to try it.

Mahao could guess what Vera was thinking now, since "No Entry" was written, she wanted to see what was not allowed to her.

Ma Haohao closely followed Vera's footsteps, subconsciously grasping her arm tightly.

The iron gate of the castle wall was wide open, and there were dots of fire in the castle. It seemed that they were not the first to arrive here.

Ma Haohao calmed down a little, followed Vera and knocked on the gate of the castle.

"咚咚-"

"咚咚-"

The sound of knocking on the door echoed in the open field, like the footsteps of monsters knocking in Ma Haohao's ears.

After a few knocks, the door was opened from the inside.

Several boys in the club stood behind the gate. The vice president saw Vera approaching her frivolously and said, "Dear ladies, you are late. The time waiting for you is too boring. We have already played for a while." wheel game."

Seeing that Vera frowned, Mahao didn't seem to like the vice president's frivolous tone, but it was more because they were the last team to reach the castle.

There are not many members in the Supernatural Phenomena Research Club. Including the three newcomers this year, there are only eight members in total.

The president and vice-president are third-year students, the male protagonist and heroine and Ma Hao are freshmen, and the remaining three, a girl and two boys, are all in their second year.

Except for the vice president who came to open the door and the two boys, several other people were sitting at the dining table in the living room of the castle, lighting candles they found somewhere, and holding a few playing cards in their hands.

"What game did you play?" Vera asked. "Drawing jokers?"

The vice-president said: "It's not just a joke card, we are deciding the room number. There are many rooms in this castle, one for each person, and whoever throws away all the cards first will have priority. We have tried it out. After one round, I’ll be waiting for you.”

"Didn't it mean that the sequence is determined according to the arrival time?"

Vera didn't understand why the rules were suddenly changed, although it was a good thing for them.

"That's what we need to ask our president."

The vice president closed the door of the castle again, and sat on the corner of the dining table, "However, compared to the original rules, don't you think playing trick cards in the haunted house is more interesting?"
