Chapter 23 The Earl's Mansion
A train was speeding across the plains, and there were a few scattered people sitting in the train, all of them silent, not saying a word.
In a special carriage, Wen Luna came to a door with a glass of warm water and knocked lightly.
"Come in."
The man's deep and hoarse voice came from behind the door, revealing the tiredness of having not slept for several days.
Wen Luna pushed open the door, walked in silently, and whispered to the people inside: "Captain, drink some water."
Qin Fu nodded casually, and took the glass of water without looking at it.
This place is different from other carriages. There are velvet carpets on the floor, chic sofas and coffee tables against the walls, and the light is completely blocked by dark curtains. Compared with the carriages, it looks more like a well-furnished cabin.
There was a big soft bed in the middle of the room. Qin Fu sat on the side of the bed with his head lowered, his handsome face was slightly stubbled, showing a haggard look.
Wen Luna said: "Captain, he's fine. You've been on guard for so many days, you should take a break."
Qin Fu responded lightly, without further answers.
Wen Luna was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "The train is about to arrive, this world doesn't need our intervention, do you want to go back..."
"You go back first."
Qin Fu said, "I'll be with him."
Wen Luna immediately became anxious when she heard this: "But——"
It was just a simple movement of Qin Fu raising his hand, but Wen Luna subconsciously closed her mouth.
She knew that once the person in front of her made a decision, she would not be able to refute it, no matter how reluctant she was, she could only answer "Yes" softly, turned and left the room.
Outside the room, Xiao Keai was circling anxiously. As soon as he saw Wen Luna coming out, he hurried up to meet him, and said, "Sister Wen, what's wrong with my brother?"
Wen Luna said lightly: "Don't worry, I've recovered a long time ago, but I won't be able to wake up for a while."
——As long as you can board the train alive, even if your limbs are completely severed and only a trace of breath remains, you can recover immediately, as if you were born again.
Xiao Keai heaved a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the heart that had been raised high for a few days.
"That's good. Fortunately, the train has been on for a long time this time, otherwise, I wouldn't have time to rest."
"The longer the train goes, the more difficult the next task will be."
Wen Luna glanced at him, "Aren't you very clear about this?"
Xiao Keai looked confused: "Sister Wen, what are you talking about? I have only experienced one more world than my brother, so I don't know so much."
Wen Luna let out an "oh" and said, "Then take it as a mistake. I'll be leaving later, see you by fate."
Xiao Keai was taken aback for a moment: "Oh...Okay, see you again, Sister Wen."
Wen Luna nodded and passed him by.
After watching her disappear, Xiao Keyai turned to look at the room where Qin Fu was.
Bronze players can only stay in ordinary cars, while silver players stay in premium cars that bronze players can't see.If Wen Luna hadn't brought him in, he wouldn't have been able to find this place.
Xiao Keai wanted to knock on the door of the room, but he stretched out his hand halfway, then retracted hesitantly.
He didn't want to disturb the rest of the people inside, and at the same time... was afraid of Qin Fu.
After Lin Qiao was swallowed by a monster that day, Qin Fu went crazy.Xiao Keai still remembers the appearance of the man tearing up the monster alive with bloodshot eyes, and then carrying Lin Qiao out in the rain of blood.
At that time, Qin Fu was as terrifying as a killing god. Even Wen Luna didn't dare to get close to him. She could only watch him walk out of the mental hospital with Lin Qiao in his arms and return to the train. Stand by Lin Qiao's side, like a lion guarding its own territory, not allowing others to come closer.
Xiao Keai didn't know what kind of emotion this powerful silver player had towards Lin Qiao, but he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't want to experience Qin Fu's murderous aura and anger that almost condensed into substance when he slaughtered monsters again.
After thinking about it, he found a random place to sit down, and decided to just wait outside.
"..."
In the dark room, Qin Fu lowered his head, put one hand on Lin Qiao's face, and stroked it slowly.
Lin Qiao was still in a deep sleep, with black hair scattered on the side of the pillow, his sleeping face was quiet and delicate, completely different from the usual coldness, and so soft that one wanted to hug him.
Qin Fu wrapped one hand around Lin Qiao's shoulder and carefully hugged him into his arms.
He has never treated other people like this before, but now he is quite comfortable doing this action, he doesn't even need to think about the angle of his arms and how much force he should apply—as if he has been used to doing the same thing before, and has already deeply Keep it in your head.
Qin Fu suddenly thought: Maybe we really know each other, this person is mine.
He fell into deep thought, buried his five fingers in Lin Qiao's hair, and rubbed them once and for all.
Qin Fu had a vague idea that if the young man was awake at the moment, he would lazily squint his eyes, like a cat basking in the sun—but if he really woke the young man up, then the other party might Get into a temper tantrum with him all day long.
He has a short temper and is reluctant to talk when he is angry, but if he is in a good mood, he is very likable.
Qin Fu raised the corners of his lips slightly.
To other people, he is calm and calm, as if he can calmly deal with whatever happens, but it is different to him... and only to him.
The roaring train slowed down slowly, and the end was approaching.Qin Fu stroked Lin Qiao's lips with his fingertips, and finally kissed him lightly between his brows.
……
The roar of the monster and the pain when the sharp teeth pierced the body were gone. Lin Qiao opened his eyes from the drowsiness, and what he saw was a crimson ceiling.
"Brother, you're awake!"
Xiao Keai stood by the bed, and when he saw Lin Qiao woke up, he immediately shouted excitedly.
"How is it, is there any pain?"
"……No."
Still a little dizzy, Lin Qiao sat up and looked around the room he was in.
"This is where?"
Different from the previous two worlds, this place is full of western-style furnishings, not like a modern residence, but more like a medieval western house.
Xiao Keyai said: "This is Earl T's mansion, we were invited in as the Earl's guests."
Lin Qiao nodded, and saw the scene outside through the window not far away - the mansion was surrounded by a deep forest, inaccessible and isolated from the outside world.
"How many companions do we have this time?"
"I didn't have time to count, but we will go down for dinner later, and it's not too late to recognize people by then."
Xiao Keai said, "Ah, brother, sister Wen is gone."
Lin Qiao: "Yes."
Xiao Keai was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Brother?"
Lin Qiao: "Huh?"
Xiao Keai winked hintingly: "Shouldn't you ask more questions, such as who is that?"
Lin Qiao: "..."
Lin Qiao said lightly, "He's behind you."
Xiao Keai: "..."
He turned his head stiffly, and sure enough, he saw Qin Fu who appeared behind him at some point.
"Cough...then I'll go out first, bro, you guys talk slowly."
When Cao Cao arrived, Xiao Keyai coughed in embarrassment and made room for Qin Fu.
Qin Fu sat down by the bed and handed Lin Qiao a glass of warm water: "Drink some water."
Lin Qiao took a sip and said, "Sweet."
"It's honey,"
Qin Fu said, "The countess is addicted to sugar. There is also a sugar statue here. You can go and see it later."
Lin Qiao: "Yes."
He drank the glass of honey water silently, and Qin Fu watched him, and they were silent for a while.
After the glass of water bottomed out, Lin Qiao put down the glass, and Qin Fu raised his hand, covering the back of Lin Qiao's hand with his palm, wrapping his entire hand.
The man's fingers are long and strong, and the palm is dry and warm.The heat came from the place where the two touched, Lin Qiao lowered his eyelashes lightly, and did not speak.
A subtle atmosphere spread between the two of them. Qin Fu was silent for a while, and said in a soft voice:
"Actually, you don't need to save me at all."
Lin Qiao: "..."
Qin Fu: "..."
Lin Qiao: "Oh."
He withdrew his hand indifferently.
Qin Fu: "..."
Qin Fu wanted to slap himself, and immediately said, "Wait, I—"
Lin Qiao turned around and lay back with his back to him.
Qin Fu: "..."
He smiled helplessly, leaned down and leaned into Lin Qiao's ear and said, "I said something wrong just now. I was too nervous to say anything. I apologize to you."
He was indeed nervous, he had no such experience before, and he wanted to say something pleasant to the young man, but when the words came to his lips, his appearance changed inexplicably.
Lin Qiao ignored him.
Qin Fu hugged him lightly, and said softly, "You won't be angry after a kiss, huh?"
Lin Qiao covered himself in the pillow.
Qin Fu: "..."
He wanted to say something, but he heard coughing behind him.
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Xiao Keai stood at the door, coughing so hard that his lungs would come out, and then he waited for the two people who came out of the room as if nothing had happened.
Lin Qiao said: "What's going on?"
Xiao Keai cast a gloomy glance at Qin Fu, and because of his cowardice, this glance was sneaky.Then he said to Lin Qiao: "The countess asked us to go down and have dinner with her."
Lin Qiao: "OK."
After speaking, he left without looking at Qin Fu.
The mansion was bigger than Lin Qiao imagined, Lin Qiao walked around with Xiao Keai, and found the dining room on the first floor.
There was a sticky sweet smell in the dining room, and when Lin Qiao entered, he found that there were several statues one person tall on both sides of the dining table, and those statues were all made of sugar.
There were already several people sitting at the dining table, among them were a couple, a pair of girlfriends, and a man who was looking around curiously, obviously a newcomer.
"When can I eat?"
The newcomer named Ma Jun said, "I'm hungry."
The other four didn't speak. Ma Jun curled his lips and leaned on the chair boredly, looking at the maids who came and went.
Lin Qiao sat down at the dining table, and Qin Fu sat next to him.Their auras were completely different from the others, so that several other people secretly looked at them several times, and finally a girl with curly hair spoke first.
"My name is Sun Xinya, and this is my best friend Li Jiejie,"
She said, "We have experienced two worlds, how about you?"
"What a coincidence, we are the same,"
Xiao Keai said quickly, "My name is Xiao Keai, and this is my brother."
He reported the identities of Lin Qiao and Qin Fu, and then looked at another couple: "Are you old people? Great, it seems that this mission will go much smoother."
The man in the couple smiled arrogantly and said, "No, we have only experienced three worlds, so we are not old people."
Sun Xinya was surprised: "Three worlds? That's really amazing."
The admiration in her words could not be heard to be true or false, but the man named Zhou Chengnuo looked very useful, and said: "It's okay, it's not particularly difficult."
His girlfriend Xie Xia gave him a hand, and smiled at the others: "It's just luck."
After several people chatted, another owner of the mansion, the countess, appeared in front of everyone.
The countess was a very beautiful woman, but her face was frosty and she looked extremely unapproachable.Beside her is an old man with gray hair who is the housekeeper here.
She ignored the other people at the table, but sat down indifferently, and whispered something to the housekeeper.
The butler took the order, and not long after, he led a blond boy back here, and made him sit down next to the countess.
The face of the blond boy was somewhat similar to that of the countess, so he should be the son of the count.But his behavior was a bit weird, and he would make strange noises of "Wooooahah" from time to time, like a dementia.
The maid brought the meals, and the mother and son began to eat as if no one was around.Sun Xinya and the others looked at each other for a while, and found that the countess only treated them as air, so she had no choice but to eat in silence.
"Didn't you say it was Earl T's mansion?"
Ma Jun grilled a piece of steak with two forks, chewed vaguely, "Why don't you see the Earl?"
Zhou Chengnuo said: "Keep your voice down, it has nothing to do with us if the Earl can't come out."
Ma Jun gave a disdainful "tss", but really didn't speak.
The sugar figurines on both sides of the table exuded a sweet aroma. Li Jiejie smelled the sweetness in the air, licked the corner of her mouth, and whispered to Sun Xinya: "These sugar figurines seem to be delicious."
"I know you like candy, but you are not allowed to steal it."
Sun Xinya said, "Be careful not to upset the countess."
Li Jiejie took a sneak peek at the statues and found that they were all made so lifelike that if you didn't look carefully, you might really recognize them as real people.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Sun Xinya pushed her again: "Did you hear that?"
Li Jiejie: "I heard it, I heard it."
She looked away and focused on the dish in front of her.
Li Jiejie originally thought that after dinner, she would stop thinking about candy, but the alluring sweet scent lingered in her nose all the time, hooking her vaguely, making her feel itchy.
She couldn't help but glanced at the sugar statue again, thinking: If I break off a small piece, no one will find out.
It was as if God wanted to fulfill her. She just came up with this idea when an accident happened at the dinner table——
The blond boy ate the last thing on his plate, licked his fingers, rolled his eyes around and landed on his mother.
He stretched out his hand to the Countess's plate without saying a word, and the Countess didn't even look at him. Just when everyone thought that the mother was going to indulge her son, the Countess suddenly picked up the fork and plunged into the boy like lightning. hands!
"Ahhhh!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and the boy let out a shrill scream, hugging his hands and rolling wildly on the ground.However, no matter how he howled, the countess remained expressionless, and even changed to a silver fork and continued to enjoy her dinner.
Sun Xinya and others looked at the scene before them in shock, only to see that everyone in the mansion didn't react too much.The butler was even more accustomed to recruiting two servants and asked them to drag the blond boy down.
"...This is a fake mother and child."
Xiao Keai was dumbfounded, and muttered, "Tiger poison doesn't even eat its eggs."
The blond boy was dragged away, and there was still a pool of blood on the ground.The countess caught a glimpse of it by chance, and immediately frowned in disgust.
She put down the knife and fork without any appetite, got up and walked away accompanied by the housekeeper.And the moment she turned around, Li Jiejie quickly stretched out her hand, snapped off a little finger from the nearest sugar figure statue, and put it in her pocket.
Everyone's attention was on the countess at the moment, and they didn't notice her small movements.After the Countess left, Zhou Chengnuo was the first to drop the knife and fork without interest, and said, "Let's go back to the room first, the mission will appear by itself anyway."
Xie Xia whispered: "Everyone is still here, don't be so impatient."
"no problem, no problem,"
Sun Xinya immediately said, "Actually, we plan to go back too."
After the scene just now, everyone had no intention of continuing to eat, and dispersed one after another.
The head maid had already arranged rooms for them. Zhou Chengnuo and his wife lived together, Sun Xinya and Li Jiejie also lived together, and the rest of them lived alone.
Everyone's room is on the third floor, and the second floor is the room of the countess and the blond boy.After leading them to their respective rooms, the head maid reminded them not to enter the second floor casually.
"Madam doesn't like being disturbed by outsiders, please forgive me."
Ma Jun suddenly smiled and said, "What about you, do you like me to disturb you?"
The head maid seemed to be unknown, and added in a neutral tone: "And, please don't go to the attic, it's not open to the public. If anything happens to you, we won't be responsible."
Xiao Keai said: "Why, is there anything there?"
The head maid still acted like she didn't hear, bowed to everyone, and said, "If I have nothing else to do, I'll go back to serve my wife. Please rest well, good night."
After she finished speaking, she left. Ma Jun snorted disdainfully at her slender back, and said, "Deaf."
Zhou Chengnuo glanced at Ma Jun, with contempt flashing across his eyes.But he didn't say anything, and went back to the room with Xie Xia in his arms.
Sun Xinya said: "In this case, Xiaojie and I will go back too. See you tomorrow."
Xiao Keai smiled and said, "See you tomorrow, have a good dream."
Sun Xinya nodded and pulled Li Jiejie away.Ma Jun also wandered towards his room. Seeing that they had all left, Xiao Keai looked back at Lin Qiao and said, "Brother, my room is next to yours. Call me if you need something."
Lin Qiao said: "Okay, be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful!"
Xiao Keai waved at him and went back to the room.
For a while, only Lin Qiao and Qin Fu were left in the corridor. Qin Fu stared at Lin Qiao for a few seconds and said with a smile, "Still angry?"
Lin Qiao didn't even look at him, and left directly.
Qin Fu followed behind him, and when Lin Qiao was about to slam the door behind him, he raised his hand to block it, and said, "Wait, let me see if your injuries are all healed."
The man was very close to him, his scorching breath sprayed on the back of his neck, and his voice was deep and deep, which made the eardrums tremble slightly...
Lin Qiao stopped and looked back at him expressionlessly.
Qin Fu's eyes were soft: "You—"
In the next second, Lin Qiao's door was slammed into his face.
Qin Fu: "..."
Make you say the wrong thing.
he thought helplessly.
It will take a few more days.
-
In the middle of the night, the entire mansion fell into a deep sleep.The corridor was quiet and there was no sound.
Ma Jun woke up inexplicably.
He dreamed that he drank a lot of water, and when he woke up, his throat felt so dry that it was about to explode.As a result, I searched around the room, but I couldn't find half a glass of water.
"What a broken mansion, really, there's not even a glass of water."
Ma Jun complained and decided to go out to find water.
His room was near the end of the corridor, and the candles on both sides of the wall were now extinguished, and a long corridor leading to the stairs was dark and dark.Looking at the dark place, Ma Jun hesitated to go there again.
"Forget it, ask them if they have water."
Talking to himself, he turned and knocked on the nearest room.
That was the room of Zhou Chengnuo and Xie Xia, the door was closed tightly, no matter how Ma Jun knocked, there was no response from inside.
"I'll go and sleep like a pig."
Ma Jun cursed dissatisfiedly, and looked around in the dark, feeling a little more uneasy in his heart.
He walked to another room and knocked for a long time but still no one opened the door.Ma Jun gave a "tsk" and knocked one by one... He never got any response.
Everyone here seems to have fallen asleep, the only sound in the corridor is his knock on the door, tuk tuk, tuk tuk, echoing for a long time.
Before he knew it, Ma Jun found that he had come to the stairs, a whole corridor away from his room.
"What, what's going on?"
The uneasiness in his heart gradually increased, and Ma Jun stared at the corridor in front of him, hesitating whether he should go back to the room.
As soon as he had this thought, the thirst in his throat suddenly amplified, almost burning.
Ma Jun covered his throat and grabbed the handrail of the stairs in pain.
The stairs are twists and turns, and at first glance, there is only a darkness where you can't see your fingers. It seems that it is not leading to the downstairs, but a hell full of evil spirits...
Ma Jun shuddered inexplicably, but the anxiety in his throat made him unable to bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth and ran down quickly.
I just go to the kitchen to drink a glass of water, there are so many people living here, what's so scary.
His heart was pounding, he kept comforting himself, and he had already run down several stairs in a blink of an eye.
The sound of pattering footsteps echoed in the stairwell, and just as Ma Jun ran to the first floor without incident and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly lit up——
Not far away, a maid was wandering in the dark hall holding a candlestick.
someone!
Ma Jun was overjoyed, and immediately stopped her: "Hey, is there any water?"
His voice was not low, but the strange thing was that the maid didn't seem to hear it at all, she turned her head and walked lightly to another place.
The maid's figure was graceful and slender, and Ma Jun stared straight at her eyes. He didn't care about drinking water, and was about to catch up.
"Wait, do you know that I am the earl's guest, how can you not listen to me?"
He laughed and said, to catch up with the maid, "Come here, let me see you—"
The maid didn't look back, but kept going.She looks light and lithe, but her speed is fast.Ma Jun chased for a while, but failed to catch up.
Gradually, Ma Jun felt something was wrong.
The maid's footsteps were very light, without a sound at all.And her feet seem to be bit by bit, which is a bit strange...
Ma Jun panicked inexplicably and stopped in his tracks.
He shifted his gaze down anxiously, and found that the maid was walking forward with her feet hanging in the air, her toes brushing the ground... But under the faint light of the candle, there was no shadow.
Ma Jun: "Ghost! There is a ghost!!"
He yelled, turned and ran.However, he soon found to his horror that no matter how hard he ran, he couldn't find the way he had come.
This is a completely strange place, not the beautiful mansion just now, but a dilapidated corridor, the front of which is pitch black, as if there is no end at all.
"Help, help!"
Ma Jun was out of breath, and kept looking around while calling for help, hoping that someone would come to rescue him.
However, there was no one here at all. Ma Jun accidentally turned his head while running, and found that the female ghost just now appeared at the corner of the corridor, staring at him firmly.
"what!"
He screamed again, and slammed his head against the wall in panic——accidentally knocked open a door that he hadn't seen just now.
Like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, Ma Jun hurriedly rushed into the room and locked the door with his backhand.
"..."
Suddenly there was no sound outside, Ma Jun leaned against the door and listened for a while, feeling that the female ghost didn't come after him, he was relieved for the rest of his life.
After the fright just now, he was already in a cold sweat.Ma Jun wiped off the sweat on his head and turned around.
——He thought that he was out of danger, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his smile froze on his face.
This is a room with a completely different decoration style from the mansion. The wooden floor has long been moldy, and the wallpaper has peeled off, revealing the walls covered in black spots.An old fireplace was embedded in the wall, crackling and burning.
The dark red fireplace light illuminated most of the room, and a woman was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room, her head lowered, her back turned to Ma Jun motionless.
Ma Jun held his breath and slowly moved his body against the wall——saw the woman's shadow on the ground.
"Scared me!"
He let out a sigh of relief, and slapped his chest happily, "I thought it was a female ghost again! That... who are you?"
"..."
The woman didn't speak, but raised her head slightly.
It is better to be able to move than not to be able to move. Ma Jun stepped forward tentatively and saw that the woman had beautiful blond hair and a slender back. She was obviously a big beauty.
"Why don't you talk, I won't hurt you."
Since he was a beauty, Ma Jun suddenly became more courageous, walked behind the woman, and patted her shoulder with one hand.
"You look back at me—"
The remaining half of the sentence stuck in his throat, and Ma Jun was suddenly speechless.
creak creak-
The sound of bones twisting echoed in the room, and the woman's body trembled violently, and her head was turned 180 degrees abruptly... revealing a face that was bloody and bloody, and even bones could be seen.
Ma Jun: "!!!"
He was really terrified now, at that moment he couldn't even develop the courage to run away, only heard a "pop", the woman's bloody hand tightly grasped his wrist, the sharp nails almost To be submerged in the meat.
"Ahhh!"
Under the severe pain, Ma Jun felt a surge of courage from nowhere, and suddenly shook off the woman's hand—"click", half of the woman's hand broke in the air, and flung it to the opposite wall.
"Go away, go away!"
Ma Jun ran towards the door without looking back, but at the moment when he was about to run out of the room, something suddenly tripped under his feet, and his body fell forward uncontrollably——
In just a few seconds after he fell down, Ma Jun's face changed drastically. At this moment, his eyes were no longer the floor...but a burning fireplace.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!"
In the dark and deserted room, a scorched human body was struggling violently in the flames, its limbs waving until it twisted, looking from a distance, it looked like a crazy and weird dance.
……
The early morning twilight filled the mansion, and at breakfast time, everyone gathered at the dining table again.
Sun Xinya sat in yesterday's position, looked around, and found that Ma Jun did not appear at the dining table.
She wondered, "Where's Ma Jun?"
"I guess you haven't woken up yet,"
Zhou Chengnuo yawned and said, "Yesterday, that guy came knocking on my door in the middle of the night, but I was taken aback."
"Knock on the door?"
Sun Xinya said, "Then did you open the door?"
Zhou Chengnuo said: "Of course not, who knows what he's going to do—but I opened the door after he left and took a look, and found that he seemed to be knocking on your door again."
"what?"
Sun Xinya was taken aback, "But Xiaojie and I didn't hear it."
Zhou Chengnuo let out an "oh" and said casually, "That may be because you guys slept too soundly."
They didn't care about Ma Jun, and they stopped talking after a few words.After that, Ma Jun never showed up at the dinner table.
The countess arrived late just like yesterday, ignoring everyone and sat down directly.Not long after, the butler brought the blond boy—his hands were wrapped in thick bandages, and he needed the help of his servants to eat, but he seemed to have completely forgotten who had hurt him, and happily ran to the earl The lady sat down beside her.
The maids in turn served breakfast, which included a large plate of roast meat.The plate was full of barbecued meat, and the aroma was tangy. As soon as it was served, Zhou Chengnuo and the others swallowed their saliva, ready to move.
The blond boy stared at the plate of barbecue, and suddenly yelled "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and pushed the butler next to him.
The butler didn't move, and the boy pushed him hard a few more times, gesturing randomly with one hand, pointing at the plate of barbecue frequently.
The countess glanced at the butler, who then nodded slightly, stepped forward and brought the plate of barbecue to the boy.
The aroma of the barbecue was overflowing, and the boy immediately shouted excitedly, grabbed the barbecue with his uninjured hand, and stuffed a lot into his mouth.
The way he devoured it was in stark contrast to the countess who was chewing slowly beside him. The shards of meat that were too late to swallow continued to fall out of the boy's mouth. Other people who were greedy for barbecue saw this and looked away disgustedly. .
"Why did he eat it all?"
Li Jiejie muttered, "I want to eat too."
Sun Xinya said helplessly: "He is the master, so please don't say a few words."
Li Jiejie pursed her lips, her eyes wandered carelessly, and then fell on the sugar figure statue next to her.
The sweet taste from yesterday seemed to still linger in her mouth, Li Jiejie licked the corner of her mouth, and secretly glanced at the countess who was sitting in the main seat.
The Countess didn't look at them guests at all. Seeing that the others didn't notice her, Li Jiejie slowly stretched out her hand... and quickly snapped off one of the Sugar Man's palms.
There was a slight "click" sound when the palm was broken off, but fortunately no one else heard it.Li Jiejie was taken aback, she quickly put the palm in her pocket, and ate breakfast as if nothing happened.
After breakfast, just as the countess was about to leave early, Lin Qiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Madam, please stay."
The countess stopped and looked back at him expressionlessly.
Lin Qiao said, "Where is the Earl?"
His tone was flat, and he was asking a casual question, but it caused the expressions of the surrounding servants, including the housekeeper, to change suddenly.
The dining room fell silent, and for a while, only the blond boy ate the meat like no one else was watching, and he ate it loudly.
His voice was too loud, the countess frowned, gave Lin Qiao a cold look, and left with the butler and a group of servants.
In the end, she didn't say anything, leaving only the other people in the dining room to look at each other, all looking at Lin Qiao.
"Brother, you actually asked directly."
Xiao Ke whispered, "Aren't you afraid of offending that countess?"
Lin Qiao said lightly: "We must always find out where he is, otherwise we may not know how he died."
He looked at the blond boy who was still eating, and the boy raised his head and looked at him for a few seconds if he felt it, and ran away quickly with a swipe of his mouth.
Xiao Keai said: "I think he is a fool, he doesn't know anything."
Lin Qiao: "Maybe."
He put down his knife and fork and stood up.
Qin Fu said, "Are you going to Ma Jun's place?"
Lin Qiao didn't say a word, and walked upstairs directly.Qin Fu was not angry either, and when Lin Qiao was about to reach the stairs, he followed slowly.
The corridor on the third floor was clear and cold, and there was no one there.Lin Qiao came to Ma Jun's room and knocked on his door.
"..."
There was no response in the room, and the door was locked, making it impossible to get in.
Lin Qiao frowned slightly, and turned to observe the door lock.This door lock is very special. There is a gap between the lock cylinder. Lin Qiao leaned over and found that through the gap, he could see part of the scene in the room clearly——
The door of the room was facing Ma Jun's big bed, and there was a person lying on the bed, turned around slowly, and lay on the bed.
Because the curtains were drawn, the room was so dark that the person's face could not be seen clearly.But his figure is indeed like Ma Jun, and he is still sleeping soundly.
——Even so, Lin Qiao still felt that something was wrong, he took a few steps back, intending to kick the door open.
pat.
A small sound suddenly sounded, Lin Qiao turned his head and found that there was still no one in the corridor, and the sound came from the stairs on the other side.
—The stairs do not lead to the second floor, but to the unoccupied attic.
"..."
Lin Qiao was silent for a few seconds, put one hand on the dagger at his waist, and slowly approached it.
The stairs leading to the attic were in disrepair and were dimly lit, getting darker as they went up.
Lin Qiao walked lightly, with his dagger out of its sheath a few inches, staring closely at the stairs.
Snapped.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind him and grabbed him.
Lin Qiao turned around immediately——saw Xiao Keai who appeared in the corridor at some time.
"Brother, don't go there."
Xiao Ke Aila lived on Linqiao Road, "Don't go near there."
Lin Qiao: "What's wrong?"
"I just saw a woman there."
Xiao Keai lightly pointed upstairs, "She is looking at us."
Lin Qiao glanced indistinctly in the direction he pointed, and saw that the stairs leading to the attic were covered with dust, and there was no one in that dark corner.
Lin Qiao said, "I didn't see anyone."
"No, she's there."
Xiao Keai slowly approached Lin Qiao and said in a low voice, "She is looking at you.
"..."
Lin Qiao silently clenched the dagger tightly.
I don't know when, the voice of the person behind him suddenly became very low, and the breath was cool, without a trace of the warmth of a living person.
Lin Qiao didn't look back, in his peripheral vision, Xiao Keai's face was as stiff and pale as a dead man, the corners of his mouth were curled up, and there was an indescribably weird smile——
Under his feet, there is no shadow.
In a special carriage, Wen Luna came to a door with a glass of warm water and knocked lightly.
"Come in."
The man's deep and hoarse voice came from behind the door, revealing the tiredness of having not slept for several days.
Wen Luna pushed open the door, walked in silently, and whispered to the people inside: "Captain, drink some water."
Qin Fu nodded casually, and took the glass of water without looking at it.
This place is different from other carriages. There are velvet carpets on the floor, chic sofas and coffee tables against the walls, and the light is completely blocked by dark curtains. Compared with the carriages, it looks more like a well-furnished cabin.
There was a big soft bed in the middle of the room. Qin Fu sat on the side of the bed with his head lowered, his handsome face was slightly stubbled, showing a haggard look.
Wen Luna said: "Captain, he's fine. You've been on guard for so many days, you should take a break."
Qin Fu responded lightly, without further answers.
Wen Luna was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "The train is about to arrive, this world doesn't need our intervention, do you want to go back..."
"You go back first."
Qin Fu said, "I'll be with him."
Wen Luna immediately became anxious when she heard this: "But——"
It was just a simple movement of Qin Fu raising his hand, but Wen Luna subconsciously closed her mouth.
She knew that once the person in front of her made a decision, she would not be able to refute it, no matter how reluctant she was, she could only answer "Yes" softly, turned and left the room.
Outside the room, Xiao Keai was circling anxiously. As soon as he saw Wen Luna coming out, he hurried up to meet him, and said, "Sister Wen, what's wrong with my brother?"
Wen Luna said lightly: "Don't worry, I've recovered a long time ago, but I won't be able to wake up for a while."
——As long as you can board the train alive, even if your limbs are completely severed and only a trace of breath remains, you can recover immediately, as if you were born again.
Xiao Keai heaved a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the heart that had been raised high for a few days.
"That's good. Fortunately, the train has been on for a long time this time, otherwise, I wouldn't have time to rest."
"The longer the train goes, the more difficult the next task will be."
Wen Luna glanced at him, "Aren't you very clear about this?"
Xiao Keai looked confused: "Sister Wen, what are you talking about? I have only experienced one more world than my brother, so I don't know so much."
Wen Luna let out an "oh" and said, "Then take it as a mistake. I'll be leaving later, see you by fate."
Xiao Keai was taken aback for a moment: "Oh...Okay, see you again, Sister Wen."
Wen Luna nodded and passed him by.
After watching her disappear, Xiao Keyai turned to look at the room where Qin Fu was.
Bronze players can only stay in ordinary cars, while silver players stay in premium cars that bronze players can't see.If Wen Luna hadn't brought him in, he wouldn't have been able to find this place.
Xiao Keai wanted to knock on the door of the room, but he stretched out his hand halfway, then retracted hesitantly.
He didn't want to disturb the rest of the people inside, and at the same time... was afraid of Qin Fu.
After Lin Qiao was swallowed by a monster that day, Qin Fu went crazy.Xiao Keai still remembers the appearance of the man tearing up the monster alive with bloodshot eyes, and then carrying Lin Qiao out in the rain of blood.
At that time, Qin Fu was as terrifying as a killing god. Even Wen Luna didn't dare to get close to him. She could only watch him walk out of the mental hospital with Lin Qiao in his arms and return to the train. Stand by Lin Qiao's side, like a lion guarding its own territory, not allowing others to come closer.
Xiao Keai didn't know what kind of emotion this powerful silver player had towards Lin Qiao, but he didn't dare to ask, and he didn't want to experience Qin Fu's murderous aura and anger that almost condensed into substance when he slaughtered monsters again.
After thinking about it, he found a random place to sit down, and decided to just wait outside.
"..."
In the dark room, Qin Fu lowered his head, put one hand on Lin Qiao's face, and stroked it slowly.
Lin Qiao was still in a deep sleep, with black hair scattered on the side of the pillow, his sleeping face was quiet and delicate, completely different from the usual coldness, and so soft that one wanted to hug him.
Qin Fu wrapped one hand around Lin Qiao's shoulder and carefully hugged him into his arms.
He has never treated other people like this before, but now he is quite comfortable doing this action, he doesn't even need to think about the angle of his arms and how much force he should apply—as if he has been used to doing the same thing before, and has already deeply Keep it in your head.
Qin Fu suddenly thought: Maybe we really know each other, this person is mine.
He fell into deep thought, buried his five fingers in Lin Qiao's hair, and rubbed them once and for all.
Qin Fu had a vague idea that if the young man was awake at the moment, he would lazily squint his eyes, like a cat basking in the sun—but if he really woke the young man up, then the other party might Get into a temper tantrum with him all day long.
He has a short temper and is reluctant to talk when he is angry, but if he is in a good mood, he is very likable.
Qin Fu raised the corners of his lips slightly.
To other people, he is calm and calm, as if he can calmly deal with whatever happens, but it is different to him... and only to him.
The roaring train slowed down slowly, and the end was approaching.Qin Fu stroked Lin Qiao's lips with his fingertips, and finally kissed him lightly between his brows.
……
The roar of the monster and the pain when the sharp teeth pierced the body were gone. Lin Qiao opened his eyes from the drowsiness, and what he saw was a crimson ceiling.
"Brother, you're awake!"
Xiao Keai stood by the bed, and when he saw Lin Qiao woke up, he immediately shouted excitedly.
"How is it, is there any pain?"
"……No."
Still a little dizzy, Lin Qiao sat up and looked around the room he was in.
"This is where?"
Different from the previous two worlds, this place is full of western-style furnishings, not like a modern residence, but more like a medieval western house.
Xiao Keyai said: "This is Earl T's mansion, we were invited in as the Earl's guests."
Lin Qiao nodded, and saw the scene outside through the window not far away - the mansion was surrounded by a deep forest, inaccessible and isolated from the outside world.
"How many companions do we have this time?"
"I didn't have time to count, but we will go down for dinner later, and it's not too late to recognize people by then."
Xiao Keai said, "Ah, brother, sister Wen is gone."
Lin Qiao: "Yes."
Xiao Keai was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Brother?"
Lin Qiao: "Huh?"
Xiao Keai winked hintingly: "Shouldn't you ask more questions, such as who is that?"
Lin Qiao: "..."
Lin Qiao said lightly, "He's behind you."
Xiao Keai: "..."
He turned his head stiffly, and sure enough, he saw Qin Fu who appeared behind him at some point.
"Cough...then I'll go out first, bro, you guys talk slowly."
When Cao Cao arrived, Xiao Keyai coughed in embarrassment and made room for Qin Fu.
Qin Fu sat down by the bed and handed Lin Qiao a glass of warm water: "Drink some water."
Lin Qiao took a sip and said, "Sweet."
"It's honey,"
Qin Fu said, "The countess is addicted to sugar. There is also a sugar statue here. You can go and see it later."
Lin Qiao: "Yes."
He drank the glass of honey water silently, and Qin Fu watched him, and they were silent for a while.
After the glass of water bottomed out, Lin Qiao put down the glass, and Qin Fu raised his hand, covering the back of Lin Qiao's hand with his palm, wrapping his entire hand.
The man's fingers are long and strong, and the palm is dry and warm.The heat came from the place where the two touched, Lin Qiao lowered his eyelashes lightly, and did not speak.
A subtle atmosphere spread between the two of them. Qin Fu was silent for a while, and said in a soft voice:
"Actually, you don't need to save me at all."
Lin Qiao: "..."
Qin Fu: "..."
Lin Qiao: "Oh."
He withdrew his hand indifferently.
Qin Fu: "..."
Qin Fu wanted to slap himself, and immediately said, "Wait, I—"
Lin Qiao turned around and lay back with his back to him.
Qin Fu: "..."
He smiled helplessly, leaned down and leaned into Lin Qiao's ear and said, "I said something wrong just now. I was too nervous to say anything. I apologize to you."
He was indeed nervous, he had no such experience before, and he wanted to say something pleasant to the young man, but when the words came to his lips, his appearance changed inexplicably.
Lin Qiao ignored him.
Qin Fu hugged him lightly, and said softly, "You won't be angry after a kiss, huh?"
Lin Qiao covered himself in the pillow.
Qin Fu: "..."
He wanted to say something, but he heard coughing behind him.
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Xiao Keai stood at the door, coughing so hard that his lungs would come out, and then he waited for the two people who came out of the room as if nothing had happened.
Lin Qiao said: "What's going on?"
Xiao Keai cast a gloomy glance at Qin Fu, and because of his cowardice, this glance was sneaky.Then he said to Lin Qiao: "The countess asked us to go down and have dinner with her."
Lin Qiao: "OK."
After speaking, he left without looking at Qin Fu.
The mansion was bigger than Lin Qiao imagined, Lin Qiao walked around with Xiao Keai, and found the dining room on the first floor.
There was a sticky sweet smell in the dining room, and when Lin Qiao entered, he found that there were several statues one person tall on both sides of the dining table, and those statues were all made of sugar.
There were already several people sitting at the dining table, among them were a couple, a pair of girlfriends, and a man who was looking around curiously, obviously a newcomer.
"When can I eat?"
The newcomer named Ma Jun said, "I'm hungry."
The other four didn't speak. Ma Jun curled his lips and leaned on the chair boredly, looking at the maids who came and went.
Lin Qiao sat down at the dining table, and Qin Fu sat next to him.Their auras were completely different from the others, so that several other people secretly looked at them several times, and finally a girl with curly hair spoke first.
"My name is Sun Xinya, and this is my best friend Li Jiejie,"
She said, "We have experienced two worlds, how about you?"
"What a coincidence, we are the same,"
Xiao Keai said quickly, "My name is Xiao Keai, and this is my brother."
He reported the identities of Lin Qiao and Qin Fu, and then looked at another couple: "Are you old people? Great, it seems that this mission will go much smoother."
The man in the couple smiled arrogantly and said, "No, we have only experienced three worlds, so we are not old people."
Sun Xinya was surprised: "Three worlds? That's really amazing."
The admiration in her words could not be heard to be true or false, but the man named Zhou Chengnuo looked very useful, and said: "It's okay, it's not particularly difficult."
His girlfriend Xie Xia gave him a hand, and smiled at the others: "It's just luck."
After several people chatted, another owner of the mansion, the countess, appeared in front of everyone.
The countess was a very beautiful woman, but her face was frosty and she looked extremely unapproachable.Beside her is an old man with gray hair who is the housekeeper here.
She ignored the other people at the table, but sat down indifferently, and whispered something to the housekeeper.
The butler took the order, and not long after, he led a blond boy back here, and made him sit down next to the countess.
The face of the blond boy was somewhat similar to that of the countess, so he should be the son of the count.But his behavior was a bit weird, and he would make strange noises of "Wooooahah" from time to time, like a dementia.
The maid brought the meals, and the mother and son began to eat as if no one was around.Sun Xinya and the others looked at each other for a while, and found that the countess only treated them as air, so she had no choice but to eat in silence.
"Didn't you say it was Earl T's mansion?"
Ma Jun grilled a piece of steak with two forks, chewed vaguely, "Why don't you see the Earl?"
Zhou Chengnuo said: "Keep your voice down, it has nothing to do with us if the Earl can't come out."
Ma Jun gave a disdainful "tss", but really didn't speak.
The sugar figurines on both sides of the table exuded a sweet aroma. Li Jiejie smelled the sweetness in the air, licked the corner of her mouth, and whispered to Sun Xinya: "These sugar figurines seem to be delicious."
"I know you like candy, but you are not allowed to steal it."
Sun Xinya said, "Be careful not to upset the countess."
Li Jiejie took a sneak peek at the statues and found that they were all made so lifelike that if you didn't look carefully, you might really recognize them as real people.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Sun Xinya pushed her again: "Did you hear that?"
Li Jiejie: "I heard it, I heard it."
She looked away and focused on the dish in front of her.
Li Jiejie originally thought that after dinner, she would stop thinking about candy, but the alluring sweet scent lingered in her nose all the time, hooking her vaguely, making her feel itchy.
She couldn't help but glanced at the sugar statue again, thinking: If I break off a small piece, no one will find out.
It was as if God wanted to fulfill her. She just came up with this idea when an accident happened at the dinner table——
The blond boy ate the last thing on his plate, licked his fingers, rolled his eyes around and landed on his mother.
He stretched out his hand to the Countess's plate without saying a word, and the Countess didn't even look at him. Just when everyone thought that the mother was going to indulge her son, the Countess suddenly picked up the fork and plunged into the boy like lightning. hands!
"Ahhhh!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and the boy let out a shrill scream, hugging his hands and rolling wildly on the ground.However, no matter how he howled, the countess remained expressionless, and even changed to a silver fork and continued to enjoy her dinner.
Sun Xinya and others looked at the scene before them in shock, only to see that everyone in the mansion didn't react too much.The butler was even more accustomed to recruiting two servants and asked them to drag the blond boy down.
"...This is a fake mother and child."
Xiao Keai was dumbfounded, and muttered, "Tiger poison doesn't even eat its eggs."
The blond boy was dragged away, and there was still a pool of blood on the ground.The countess caught a glimpse of it by chance, and immediately frowned in disgust.
She put down the knife and fork without any appetite, got up and walked away accompanied by the housekeeper.And the moment she turned around, Li Jiejie quickly stretched out her hand, snapped off a little finger from the nearest sugar figure statue, and put it in her pocket.
Everyone's attention was on the countess at the moment, and they didn't notice her small movements.After the Countess left, Zhou Chengnuo was the first to drop the knife and fork without interest, and said, "Let's go back to the room first, the mission will appear by itself anyway."
Xie Xia whispered: "Everyone is still here, don't be so impatient."
"no problem, no problem,"
Sun Xinya immediately said, "Actually, we plan to go back too."
After the scene just now, everyone had no intention of continuing to eat, and dispersed one after another.
The head maid had already arranged rooms for them. Zhou Chengnuo and his wife lived together, Sun Xinya and Li Jiejie also lived together, and the rest of them lived alone.
Everyone's room is on the third floor, and the second floor is the room of the countess and the blond boy.After leading them to their respective rooms, the head maid reminded them not to enter the second floor casually.
"Madam doesn't like being disturbed by outsiders, please forgive me."
Ma Jun suddenly smiled and said, "What about you, do you like me to disturb you?"
The head maid seemed to be unknown, and added in a neutral tone: "And, please don't go to the attic, it's not open to the public. If anything happens to you, we won't be responsible."
Xiao Keai said: "Why, is there anything there?"
The head maid still acted like she didn't hear, bowed to everyone, and said, "If I have nothing else to do, I'll go back to serve my wife. Please rest well, good night."
After she finished speaking, she left. Ma Jun snorted disdainfully at her slender back, and said, "Deaf."
Zhou Chengnuo glanced at Ma Jun, with contempt flashing across his eyes.But he didn't say anything, and went back to the room with Xie Xia in his arms.
Sun Xinya said: "In this case, Xiaojie and I will go back too. See you tomorrow."
Xiao Keai smiled and said, "See you tomorrow, have a good dream."
Sun Xinya nodded and pulled Li Jiejie away.Ma Jun also wandered towards his room. Seeing that they had all left, Xiao Keai looked back at Lin Qiao and said, "Brother, my room is next to yours. Call me if you need something."
Lin Qiao said: "Okay, be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful!"
Xiao Keai waved at him and went back to the room.
For a while, only Lin Qiao and Qin Fu were left in the corridor. Qin Fu stared at Lin Qiao for a few seconds and said with a smile, "Still angry?"
Lin Qiao didn't even look at him, and left directly.
Qin Fu followed behind him, and when Lin Qiao was about to slam the door behind him, he raised his hand to block it, and said, "Wait, let me see if your injuries are all healed."
The man was very close to him, his scorching breath sprayed on the back of his neck, and his voice was deep and deep, which made the eardrums tremble slightly...
Lin Qiao stopped and looked back at him expressionlessly.
Qin Fu's eyes were soft: "You—"
In the next second, Lin Qiao's door was slammed into his face.
Qin Fu: "..."
Make you say the wrong thing.
he thought helplessly.
It will take a few more days.
-
In the middle of the night, the entire mansion fell into a deep sleep.The corridor was quiet and there was no sound.
Ma Jun woke up inexplicably.
He dreamed that he drank a lot of water, and when he woke up, his throat felt so dry that it was about to explode.As a result, I searched around the room, but I couldn't find half a glass of water.
"What a broken mansion, really, there's not even a glass of water."
Ma Jun complained and decided to go out to find water.
His room was near the end of the corridor, and the candles on both sides of the wall were now extinguished, and a long corridor leading to the stairs was dark and dark.Looking at the dark place, Ma Jun hesitated to go there again.
"Forget it, ask them if they have water."
Talking to himself, he turned and knocked on the nearest room.
That was the room of Zhou Chengnuo and Xie Xia, the door was closed tightly, no matter how Ma Jun knocked, there was no response from inside.
"I'll go and sleep like a pig."
Ma Jun cursed dissatisfiedly, and looked around in the dark, feeling a little more uneasy in his heart.
He walked to another room and knocked for a long time but still no one opened the door.Ma Jun gave a "tsk" and knocked one by one... He never got any response.
Everyone here seems to have fallen asleep, the only sound in the corridor is his knock on the door, tuk tuk, tuk tuk, echoing for a long time.
Before he knew it, Ma Jun found that he had come to the stairs, a whole corridor away from his room.
"What, what's going on?"
The uneasiness in his heart gradually increased, and Ma Jun stared at the corridor in front of him, hesitating whether he should go back to the room.
As soon as he had this thought, the thirst in his throat suddenly amplified, almost burning.
Ma Jun covered his throat and grabbed the handrail of the stairs in pain.
The stairs are twists and turns, and at first glance, there is only a darkness where you can't see your fingers. It seems that it is not leading to the downstairs, but a hell full of evil spirits...
Ma Jun shuddered inexplicably, but the anxiety in his throat made him unable to bear it any longer. He gritted his teeth and ran down quickly.
I just go to the kitchen to drink a glass of water, there are so many people living here, what's so scary.
His heart was pounding, he kept comforting himself, and he had already run down several stairs in a blink of an eye.
The sound of pattering footsteps echoed in the stairwell, and just as Ma Jun ran to the first floor without incident and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes suddenly lit up——
Not far away, a maid was wandering in the dark hall holding a candlestick.
someone!
Ma Jun was overjoyed, and immediately stopped her: "Hey, is there any water?"
His voice was not low, but the strange thing was that the maid didn't seem to hear it at all, she turned her head and walked lightly to another place.
The maid's figure was graceful and slender, and Ma Jun stared straight at her eyes. He didn't care about drinking water, and was about to catch up.
"Wait, do you know that I am the earl's guest, how can you not listen to me?"
He laughed and said, to catch up with the maid, "Come here, let me see you—"
The maid didn't look back, but kept going.She looks light and lithe, but her speed is fast.Ma Jun chased for a while, but failed to catch up.
Gradually, Ma Jun felt something was wrong.
The maid's footsteps were very light, without a sound at all.And her feet seem to be bit by bit, which is a bit strange...
Ma Jun panicked inexplicably and stopped in his tracks.
He shifted his gaze down anxiously, and found that the maid was walking forward with her feet hanging in the air, her toes brushing the ground... But under the faint light of the candle, there was no shadow.
Ma Jun: "Ghost! There is a ghost!!"
He yelled, turned and ran.However, he soon found to his horror that no matter how hard he ran, he couldn't find the way he had come.
This is a completely strange place, not the beautiful mansion just now, but a dilapidated corridor, the front of which is pitch black, as if there is no end at all.
"Help, help!"
Ma Jun was out of breath, and kept looking around while calling for help, hoping that someone would come to rescue him.
However, there was no one here at all. Ma Jun accidentally turned his head while running, and found that the female ghost just now appeared at the corner of the corridor, staring at him firmly.
"what!"
He screamed again, and slammed his head against the wall in panic——accidentally knocked open a door that he hadn't seen just now.
Like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw, Ma Jun hurriedly rushed into the room and locked the door with his backhand.
"..."
Suddenly there was no sound outside, Ma Jun leaned against the door and listened for a while, feeling that the female ghost didn't come after him, he was relieved for the rest of his life.
After the fright just now, he was already in a cold sweat.Ma Jun wiped off the sweat on his head and turned around.
——He thought that he was out of danger, but when he saw the scene in front of him, his smile froze on his face.
This is a room with a completely different decoration style from the mansion. The wooden floor has long been moldy, and the wallpaper has peeled off, revealing the walls covered in black spots.An old fireplace was embedded in the wall, crackling and burning.
The dark red fireplace light illuminated most of the room, and a woman was sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room, her head lowered, her back turned to Ma Jun motionless.
Ma Jun held his breath and slowly moved his body against the wall——saw the woman's shadow on the ground.
"Scared me!"
He let out a sigh of relief, and slapped his chest happily, "I thought it was a female ghost again! That... who are you?"
"..."
The woman didn't speak, but raised her head slightly.
It is better to be able to move than not to be able to move. Ma Jun stepped forward tentatively and saw that the woman had beautiful blond hair and a slender back. She was obviously a big beauty.
"Why don't you talk, I won't hurt you."
Since he was a beauty, Ma Jun suddenly became more courageous, walked behind the woman, and patted her shoulder with one hand.
"You look back at me—"
The remaining half of the sentence stuck in his throat, and Ma Jun was suddenly speechless.
creak creak-
The sound of bones twisting echoed in the room, and the woman's body trembled violently, and her head was turned 180 degrees abruptly... revealing a face that was bloody and bloody, and even bones could be seen.
Ma Jun: "!!!"
He was really terrified now, at that moment he couldn't even develop the courage to run away, only heard a "pop", the woman's bloody hand tightly grasped his wrist, the sharp nails almost To be submerged in the meat.
"Ahhh!"
Under the severe pain, Ma Jun felt a surge of courage from nowhere, and suddenly shook off the woman's hand—"click", half of the woman's hand broke in the air, and flung it to the opposite wall.
"Go away, go away!"
Ma Jun ran towards the door without looking back, but at the moment when he was about to run out of the room, something suddenly tripped under his feet, and his body fell forward uncontrollably——
In just a few seconds after he fell down, Ma Jun's face changed drastically. At this moment, his eyes were no longer the floor...but a burning fireplace.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!"
In the dark and deserted room, a scorched human body was struggling violently in the flames, its limbs waving until it twisted, looking from a distance, it looked like a crazy and weird dance.
……
The early morning twilight filled the mansion, and at breakfast time, everyone gathered at the dining table again.
Sun Xinya sat in yesterday's position, looked around, and found that Ma Jun did not appear at the dining table.
She wondered, "Where's Ma Jun?"
"I guess you haven't woken up yet,"
Zhou Chengnuo yawned and said, "Yesterday, that guy came knocking on my door in the middle of the night, but I was taken aback."
"Knock on the door?"
Sun Xinya said, "Then did you open the door?"
Zhou Chengnuo said: "Of course not, who knows what he's going to do—but I opened the door after he left and took a look, and found that he seemed to be knocking on your door again."
"what?"
Sun Xinya was taken aback, "But Xiaojie and I didn't hear it."
Zhou Chengnuo let out an "oh" and said casually, "That may be because you guys slept too soundly."
They didn't care about Ma Jun, and they stopped talking after a few words.After that, Ma Jun never showed up at the dinner table.
The countess arrived late just like yesterday, ignoring everyone and sat down directly.Not long after, the butler brought the blond boy—his hands were wrapped in thick bandages, and he needed the help of his servants to eat, but he seemed to have completely forgotten who had hurt him, and happily ran to the earl The lady sat down beside her.
The maids in turn served breakfast, which included a large plate of roast meat.The plate was full of barbecued meat, and the aroma was tangy. As soon as it was served, Zhou Chengnuo and the others swallowed their saliva, ready to move.
The blond boy stared at the plate of barbecue, and suddenly yelled "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and pushed the butler next to him.
The butler didn't move, and the boy pushed him hard a few more times, gesturing randomly with one hand, pointing at the plate of barbecue frequently.
The countess glanced at the butler, who then nodded slightly, stepped forward and brought the plate of barbecue to the boy.
The aroma of the barbecue was overflowing, and the boy immediately shouted excitedly, grabbed the barbecue with his uninjured hand, and stuffed a lot into his mouth.
The way he devoured it was in stark contrast to the countess who was chewing slowly beside him. The shards of meat that were too late to swallow continued to fall out of the boy's mouth. Other people who were greedy for barbecue saw this and looked away disgustedly. .
"Why did he eat it all?"
Li Jiejie muttered, "I want to eat too."
Sun Xinya said helplessly: "He is the master, so please don't say a few words."
Li Jiejie pursed her lips, her eyes wandered carelessly, and then fell on the sugar figure statue next to her.
The sweet taste from yesterday seemed to still linger in her mouth, Li Jiejie licked the corner of her mouth, and secretly glanced at the countess who was sitting in the main seat.
The Countess didn't look at them guests at all. Seeing that the others didn't notice her, Li Jiejie slowly stretched out her hand... and quickly snapped off one of the Sugar Man's palms.
There was a slight "click" sound when the palm was broken off, but fortunately no one else heard it.Li Jiejie was taken aback, she quickly put the palm in her pocket, and ate breakfast as if nothing happened.
After breakfast, just as the countess was about to leave early, Lin Qiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Madam, please stay."
The countess stopped and looked back at him expressionlessly.
Lin Qiao said, "Where is the Earl?"
His tone was flat, and he was asking a casual question, but it caused the expressions of the surrounding servants, including the housekeeper, to change suddenly.
The dining room fell silent, and for a while, only the blond boy ate the meat like no one else was watching, and he ate it loudly.
His voice was too loud, the countess frowned, gave Lin Qiao a cold look, and left with the butler and a group of servants.
In the end, she didn't say anything, leaving only the other people in the dining room to look at each other, all looking at Lin Qiao.
"Brother, you actually asked directly."
Xiao Ke whispered, "Aren't you afraid of offending that countess?"
Lin Qiao said lightly: "We must always find out where he is, otherwise we may not know how he died."
He looked at the blond boy who was still eating, and the boy raised his head and looked at him for a few seconds if he felt it, and ran away quickly with a swipe of his mouth.
Xiao Keai said: "I think he is a fool, he doesn't know anything."
Lin Qiao: "Maybe."
He put down his knife and fork and stood up.
Qin Fu said, "Are you going to Ma Jun's place?"
Lin Qiao didn't say a word, and walked upstairs directly.Qin Fu was not angry either, and when Lin Qiao was about to reach the stairs, he followed slowly.
The corridor on the third floor was clear and cold, and there was no one there.Lin Qiao came to Ma Jun's room and knocked on his door.
"..."
There was no response in the room, and the door was locked, making it impossible to get in.
Lin Qiao frowned slightly, and turned to observe the door lock.This door lock is very special. There is a gap between the lock cylinder. Lin Qiao leaned over and found that through the gap, he could see part of the scene in the room clearly——
The door of the room was facing Ma Jun's big bed, and there was a person lying on the bed, turned around slowly, and lay on the bed.
Because the curtains were drawn, the room was so dark that the person's face could not be seen clearly.But his figure is indeed like Ma Jun, and he is still sleeping soundly.
——Even so, Lin Qiao still felt that something was wrong, he took a few steps back, intending to kick the door open.
pat.
A small sound suddenly sounded, Lin Qiao turned his head and found that there was still no one in the corridor, and the sound came from the stairs on the other side.
—The stairs do not lead to the second floor, but to the unoccupied attic.
"..."
Lin Qiao was silent for a few seconds, put one hand on the dagger at his waist, and slowly approached it.
The stairs leading to the attic were in disrepair and were dimly lit, getting darker as they went up.
Lin Qiao walked lightly, with his dagger out of its sheath a few inches, staring closely at the stairs.
Snapped.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind him and grabbed him.
Lin Qiao turned around immediately——saw Xiao Keai who appeared in the corridor at some time.
"Brother, don't go there."
Xiao Ke Aila lived on Linqiao Road, "Don't go near there."
Lin Qiao: "What's wrong?"
"I just saw a woman there."
Xiao Keai lightly pointed upstairs, "She is looking at us."
Lin Qiao glanced indistinctly in the direction he pointed, and saw that the stairs leading to the attic were covered with dust, and there was no one in that dark corner.
Lin Qiao said, "I didn't see anyone."
"No, she's there."
Xiao Keai slowly approached Lin Qiao and said in a low voice, "She is looking at you.
"..."
Lin Qiao silently clenched the dagger tightly.
I don't know when, the voice of the person behind him suddenly became very low, and the breath was cool, without a trace of the warmth of a living person.
Lin Qiao didn't look back, in his peripheral vision, Xiao Keai's face was as stiff and pale as a dead man, the corners of his mouth were curled up, and there was an indescribably weird smile——
Under his feet, there is no shadow.
