Empty and lonely, it seems like a country that has been forgotten for thousands of years.

In other words, this is the normal state of the castle itself, because in the entire Rose Manor, there is no living life, not even a small ant. The plants may be a little bit, but most of the plants in the Rose Manor are covered. There was a rather uncoordinated and uncomfortable lifeless breath.

Here in Rose Manor, the only existence that doesn't know whether it should be called life is Anna, and the huge puppet cat that accompanies her.

Originally, this castle should be a layout of a European-style castle probably in the Middle Ages. Their entire actions should be carried out under the shadow of darkness and candlelight, but a certain pioneer exchanged his life for the electric light Afterwards, the difficulty of their task was undoubtedly reduced a lot.

"Speaking of which, if I ask Anna to have Gundams in this castle, will there be such things as Gundams in this castle?"

Looking up at the chandelier above his head, the steel bone looked thoughtful.

"You can try it, but don't worry, I will remember to put a stick of incense on your grave by next year's day."

Bai Zhi answered without looking back.

"Uh………"

......................................................

Soon, on a deep corridor on the fourth floor, everyone gathered here.

Here in this brightly lit corridor, there are one after another oil paintings hanging on both sides. If you just glance at them at a glance, there are at least dozens of them.

As for the oil paintings hanging on both sides of the corridor, it is obvious that they are all written by famous artists.

Some are self-portraits of an unsmiling old man sitting on a chair with a goatee and wearing aristocratic costumes, some are landscape paintings standing on a high place overlooking the castle, or simply a corner of a lively scene of a whole ball... …and so on.

Although I don't know why the other party deliberately mentioned a sentence at the end of the notebook to ask them to observe the portraits hanging here in the castle, but there is nothing to do now anyway, and it is generally necessary to follow the instructions to investigate here.

This time, there was no need for Bai Zhi to say anything. When they came here, everyone spontaneously dispersed and gathered around the portraits to observe.

Similarly, Bai Zhi also stood in front of an oil painting.

The oil painting in front of him depicts a scene at a ball. All kinds of nobles and celebrities in gorgeous costumes gather together, chatting, or dancing. The painter is obviously highly skilled, and the huge scene of hundreds of people is painted After coming down, the dance party was rendered extremely lively.

"Surprise... what kind of discovery can be called a surprise?"

While staring at the oil painting in front of him, Bai Zhi began to think in his heart.

The words that the other party deliberately left at the end of the notebook must not be aimless. There should be some secrets hidden in these portraits hanging in the corridors of the castle...

Just as Bai Zhi was thinking, there was a burst of exclamation from the other side. When Bai Zhi turned his head to look at the inquiry, he saw the painting in front of him between the mountains, the seas and the sky, and his body couldn't help but move forward. He took a few steps back with a look of disbelief on his face.

"what happened?"

Frowning slightly, Bai Zhi walked over there.

"...he's in the painting."

Taking a deep breath, Shan Hai Tian Di Jian pointed to the painting in front of him.

"he?"

"It's the colorful black! He was painted on this painting!!!"

The oil painting in front of the mountain, sea, heaven and earth is a sacrificial picture with a slightly unclear meaning.

In the picture, there is a building similar to an altar. A man is tied by a rope to the high altar, and firewood is piled under his feet.

And around this mysterious altar, there are black shadows wearing black robes, whose whole bodies are almost integrated into the darkness. These shadowy people are surrounded by the altar, facing the altar devoutly. The center is kneeling down.

...a scene of human sacrifice from a cult.

If it's just this, it doesn't really matter, but the man who was tied to the altar and was about to be burned at the stake had a colorful black face.

The artist who painted this picture is obviously quite good at drawing, and there is no possibility of being mistaken.

Looking at the content displayed on this oil painting, everyone couldn't help being silent for a while.

After a while, Yan Huo Fengyue turned her head to look at Bai Zhi.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"After all, I have to go there... I seem to be able to understand the composition of this Rose Manor."

After taking a look at the oil painting in front of him, then raised his head to look at the chandelier above his head, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's definitely dangerous there, or the place with the highest risk in the entire Rose Manor is there, because that's the core of this dungeon, and this castle is just the outside of the core..."

"You think you're stronger than both of them?"

He interrupted his words unceremoniously, and there was an aggressive taste in Yan Huo Fengyue's words.

"A senior investigator died there silently, and the colorful black was burned to death inside. You are so sure that you can survive!? At this time, what kind of hero are you playing!?"

"Please, what I want to do seems to have nothing to do with you? Did I provoke you? Didn't I just grab your head before?"

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi spoke up very angrily.

"Some things have to be done by someone. This is not a hero. The word hero is not something that can be said casually... Do you know what the meaning of a hero is?"

"The meaning of a hero's existence? What does this kind of thing have to do with me?"

After being stunned for a while, Yan Huo Feng Yue waved her hands a little irritably.

"I declare in advance that I owe you a favor, but if you want to enter such a dangerous place, I will definitely not go in."

"Who asked you to go in... Do you really think I care about your favor?"

Pouring his lips, Bai Zhi turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"Besides, I said it before when you found that notebook, so it should be regarded as repaying the favor, but you still want to be obsessed with this kind of thing. There is something wrong with your brain... I I'm going to the tea party, you can move freely, there should be no danger during this time period. Oh yes..."

Turning around, Bai Zhi looked at the steel bone, with a serious expression on his face.

"Steel Bone, Gundam doesn't exist, wake up and sleep."

Cyborg: "???"

 

Chapter 260 Anna's Royal Highness and... ATM Machine No. [-]

Along the long and deep stairs, Bai Zhi stepped straight on the road to the top floor.

Thanks to the notebook he found in the underground library, he has roughly figured out half of the situation of this dungeon. The previous investigator probably also figured out the things he speculated so far, so he has no hesitation He plunged headlong into the illusion of the past.

...It's just that the other party failed.

But I have to say that the notebook left behind by the other party has done him a great favor and saved him a lot of time.

—In the solitude of nothingness, what is true and what is false?

Today's weather is not good, large swaths of dark clouds gather in mid-air, gloomy as if it is going to rain.

When Bai Zhi came to the top floor, he happened to see Anna sitting beside a round table with a steaming teacup in front of her. At this moment, she rested her chin on her hands and looked out of the castle in a daze. The scenery, the whole person does not know what he is thinking.

And the huge puppet cat was lying lazily dozing off in the open space not far from Anna. After seeing him coming up, the puppet cat opened its eyes and turned towards him. He glanced at it, then closed it again.

——In the entire top floor, only Anna and her puppet cat exist.

The so-called tea party was only attended by her.

"Your Highness, are you here?"

It seemed that she was in a daze all the time, and it wasn't until Bai Zhi walked to the table that Anna woke up from that trance.

When she saw Bai Zhi sitting down in front of her, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, because I have free time...what's so good about this kind of scenery?"

Sitting on the chair and turning his head to look at the desolation outside the castle, Bai Zhi smiled slightly on his face.

"It's rainy today. It looks like it's going to rain soon. Don't you even want to hold an umbrella here?"

"Umbrella..."

After a moment of silence, Anna didn't make any movement, and a large pure white umbrella appeared by the table out of thin air, completely covering the tops of their heads.

And it just so happened that at this time, the rain came quietly, and it made a pattering sound when it hit the umbrella.

Getting up from the ground, after looking towards Anna with a seemingly resentful look, the puppet cat got up and hid under the eaves.

"Uh... this umbrella shouldn't cost me anything, right?"

Looking up at the umbrella propped above his head, while a certain guess in his heart became clearer, Bai Zhi asked Anna in front of him with a slightly strange expression.

"Of course it is necessary. As a price, His Royal Highness will accompany Anna to say something."

Tilting her head slightly, Anna showed a slightly mischievous smile on her face.

"For so many years, His Royal Highness is the first person to attend Anna's tea party."

"First?"

Looking at the teacup that automatically appeared in front of him, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes, because those people before are not qualified. Only His Royal Highness has the right to go up to the top floor to participate in the tea party. Without Anna's invitation, it is impossible for them to come up."

Putting her hands on the table to support her chin, while shaking her feet, Anna seemed to be a little happy to speak.

"Your Highness, do you want to consider staying by Anna's side forever? Not in that puppet posture, but in the current human posture. At that time, His Royal Highness will also be the owner of this manor?"

"Let's talk about this kind of thing later, I'm more curious about another thing..."

Without hesitation, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, Bai Zhi smiled.

"Why do you think that I am His Royal Highness?"

"Because His Royal Highness is His Royal Highness."

Anna took it for granted.

"Catherine told me that all the princes are super good-looking. You are so good-looking, you must be the prince I am looking for."

"Catherine... is she your maid?"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Of course, Catherine has been my personal maid who has taken care of my daily life since I was a child. I like the stories she told me about His Royal Highness the most."

Putting her hands together on her chest, Anna seemed to have stars twinkling in her eyes.
