In a dim room, eight people sat around a table.

At this time, several people were falling into a deathly silence, and no one dared to move.

Just 1 minute ago, one of them saw a big living person suddenly appear on the chair opposite the table, and then screamed out as if bewitched. The syllable seemed to be stuck in his throat, he rolled his eyes, and passed out.

The eerie atmosphere was pushed to a climax by the scream, and horror legends and spooky deaths began to play out in everyone's minds.

No one even dared to step forward to confirm whether the man was really dead or pretended to be dead.

A man suddenly appeared, with only half of his face exposed, it can be seen that his appearance is extremely outstanding, his long eyelashes are like waterfalls, casting a shadow under his eyes, his head is slightly tilted to his shoulder, and the lower half of his face is hidden by a big white under the mask.

It's just that no one knows where they are at the moment.

—They all suddenly appeared on the chair.

See you soon.

The last one landed on the chair in full view and was still asleep at the moment, even the scream just now didn't wake him up.

After a long silence, the tense atmosphere of everyone eased.They began to look at each other slightly.

Gradually, someone began to cast unkind eyes on the man who was still asleep.Those who are out of tune with others at this time, but who are still so calm will be inexplicably annoying.

There is a couple among the eight people, and the girl is the only female of this group.

She was very thoughtful, and she saw that someone had malicious intentions, and was about to boldly wake up the sleeping man beside her, when she suddenly heard him wake up with a "hmm".

The man's eyes hadn't been opened yet, but the brows were immediately wrinkled, looking very irritable, and he was getting up all over his body.

Jiang Xu woke up with a headache.

He remembered that he was preparing to make coffee in the company's tea room a moment ago, but there were no coffee beans, so he stooped down to search in the cabinet.The inside of the cabinet seemed to be darker than usual, and then he didn't know whether the picture in front of him began to distort or his brain began to dizzy, and he passed out in the next instant.

He raised his hand, and rubbed his index finger and thumb on the center of his eyebrows and temples, but stopped suddenly.

Not right.

He slowly opened his eyes, and quickly glanced at the seven people who were looking at him at the table, oh, there was another one lying on the table who didn't know whether he was really dead or pretending to be dead.

The one on his right is the girl, and the one next to her should be her boyfriend.With delicate features and delicate features, wearing strange clothes, the four characters of being out of place are obvious.At this moment, he was holding the girl tightly with his left hand.

Then there was a boy with round eyes, who looked like a student party.

"Pretender" was on the chair next to him.

The next one counterclockwise was a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a briefcase at hand. He looked like an executive, and he was probably about to rush to some meeting, but he was brought here suddenly.The unkind gaze came from this person.

And the next one was still wearing pajamas during the day and night, like a freelancer working from home, which is commonly called by the unemployed.

The last one was on Jiang Xu's left. His back was straight, his arms were folded and his head was bowed. Half of his face was covered by bangs on his forehead, and the other half was hidden in the shadows. He had a very low sense of presence.

The bonfire in the distant fireplace was burning very vigorously, but there was no wood or carbon in the fireplace. I don't know what was supporting the fire, and there was no "crackling" sound of combustibles burning.

The round table where they were sitting was four or five meters away from the fireplace, and it was pitch black on the way, but the light of the fire seemed to light up their location through time and space.

There is no logic at all.

The round table is covered with a purple thick velvet tablecloth, which is of exquisite texture and has a simple atmosphere of the Middle Ages in Western Europe.The same material as the curtains more than ten meters away.

That was the third source of light in the room.

It's just that this place is also unreasonable. It's bright outside, but it seems to be isolated from the window just right.Because on this side of the purple velvet cloth, even the dust diffusely reflected by the beam of light cannot be seen.

Jiang Xu's frown deepened, and he asked impatiently, "Who are you?"

Hearing Jiang Xu's words, the boy with round eyes straightened his upper body reflexively, as if being called by a teacher, "I...I..."

I didn't come out for a long time, so why not.

"Tsk..." Jiang Xu felt even more annoyed.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking others? This is the most basic courtesy, right?" the executive man choked.

Jiang Xu's eyelids are very thin, and when he only opened half of them to look at people, his eyes would be cold and a little unkind, so he said casually, "Oh, I don't want to know anymore."

The beating tone became a good hand to attract hatred, and there were a few more unkind eyes in an instant.

Jiang Xu stopped talking, and simply stared at the others with a paralyzed face.

Seeing that the deadlocked atmosphere exploded instead of perishing, a fourth light source appeared in the house.

A short witch stood in the middle of the half-person-height stage, and the beam of the spotlight on the roof was firmly attached to it. No one knew when it stood there, nor did it know that it was in the dark. How long have you been peeping.

The brighter light source instantly took away everyone's sight, and the witch was quite satisfied with her appearance.So much so that one was not stretched, the huge red lips stretched to the ears, and the sharp fangs were fully exposed.

The people at the table shivered collectively.

"Welcome to Sauron Castle. There is a classic stage play recently. You are all lucky guests who were sincerely invited to participate." The witch's voice was unexpectedly soft and sweet, even a bit sweet like a lolita.

The male student who said "I" for a long time began to stammer again: "What, what, drama, me, no..."

The man in the couple said for him: "What invitation? I didn't receive any invitation."

The corner of the witch's huge mouth raised an arc of unknown meaning: "The system will not make mistakes, all guests will be invited here only after confirming the "invitation letter"."

Everyone went from initial doubts to astonishment to silence at the end, and the witch could see all the changes in their expressions.The witch nodded in satisfaction, "It seems that the distinguished guests have confirmed that they came here voluntarily. As the guide of everyone invited this time, I will help you as much as possible within the scope of my ability."

Everyone didn't buy it, they just thought about how to leave.

The man in home clothes asked tremblingly: "Where is this? How can we go back?"

He may also feel that the clothes are inappropriate, and he looks a little cramped.

The witch showed great enthusiasm and began to explain endlessly: "This is a different world relative to the place where you live, and it can also be called the inner world."

Jiang Xu's eyebrows were raised in a playful way.

In their real world, the term "inside world" only exists in science fiction.

"You are all invited guests, you will enjoy our warm hospitality, and the automatic transmission will start after the stage play ends." The witch walked a few steps towards the edge of the stage with her short legs, her short hands on her chest Make a heart-shaking gesture, "Everyone has come from afar, I have prepared a newly developed fruit drink for the distinguished guests."

As soon as the words fell, before everyone refused, the light in the room lit up little by little.

The witch was still standing on the stage without changing her posture, and the switch seemed to be manipulated by a creature in the dark.

Brightness didn't give everyone a sense of security. This kind of creepy feeling of being monitored at any time directly gave everyone goosebumps.

"What did you say?" the round-eyed boy asked in a low voice.

The "man pretending to be dead" beside him woke up at some point, and kept mumbling.

Jiang Xu cast a glance inadvertently, his eyes fixed.This guy doesn't seem to be in the right mood.

What kind of world is this? Mental illness is not spared?

The girl asked concerned: "What is he talking about?"

The round-eyed boy listened for a while, "It seems that there are some words such as 'Hurry up', 'The boss deducts money', 'Mom is sick', etc. I can't hear them clearly, and they keep repeating these few words."

The simple-minded boy with round eyes is a carefree student party, and he can't think of a cruel fact through a few words.

The rest of you who are discussing life in society fell into silence without a word.

Roll, roll.

The sound of wooden rollers sliding across the floor suddenly sounded from the corner of the house, and everyone looked for the reputation, and a maid wearing a Lolita maid outfit came slowly.

The maid is holding a tray in her right hand, and on the tray are 8 glasses filled with purple liquid, which must be the fruit drink that the witch said.

This color is almost the same as the lip color of the female corpse who died of poisoning in the TV series, Jiang Xu's eyebrows were raised even higher.

As they got closer, everyone realized that the maid was not a real person, not even a weird creature like a witch, but a simple puppet on a string.

The feet are made into the shape of wheels, and when they roll on the ground, they make a sound of "roll, roll".Other than that, only one head was exposed, and the rest was wrapped in a huge and gorgeous lace dress.

The puppet's face was carved vividly, with a pair of blue-green Persian cat blue eyes, long eyelashes and feathers clearly spread out into the shape of a small fan, charming and charming.

If you ignore the two vertical marionette lines on either side of the mouth.

These two vertical lines are like a stroke of magic, they just reversed a beautiful doll into a cursed doll.

Twelve almost transparent strings control the puppet to skillfully place the glass in front of each person in turn.The other end of the string suddenly disappeared in mid-air about three meters high, as if it had been hidden in a different space.But the lifting thread was stretched extremely tight, as if being manipulated by invisible hands from a high place.

Jiang Xu reached out and touched the wall of the cup. It was cold, but the liquid in the cup was boiling and surging. When the air bubbles burst, it would make a small sound like "quack", carrying the fragrance of grapefruit juice.

The boy with round eyes seemed to be really thirsty. He picked up the cup and was about to take a sip. He suddenly noticed that no one at the table moved, so he put down the cup embarrassingly, but his round eyes like a puppy kept staring at the cup. move away.

Probably still want to drink.

The man pretending to be dead showed great interest in the hanging string puppets, with an obsessed look on his face, as if he was bewitched, he even reached out to touch the transparent hanging string.

The hanging puppet stopped moving the moment he touched the transparent hanging string, as if someone had pressed the pause button on the performing toy.

Pretending to be a dead male ghost, he yanked the transparent string with all his strength, and there was a loud "clang", as if the taut strings of a piano were violently plucked, causing eardrums to hurt.

The executive man stood up abruptly, full of airs as a leader, before he could utter the words of reprimand, a sudden change occurred.

The man pretending to be dead actually began to rise slowly along the hanging thread, and his saliva flowed down from the corner of his mouth as he smiled idiotically, looking as if he had been possessed by an evil spirit.

"Let go!" Someone suddenly shouted.

The rest of the people stood up restlessly and gathered together, moving in unison and watching the man pretending to be dead fluttering in the air like a national flag.

He seemed to be supported by some unknown force, and then he rose higher and higher in midair, turning his face and looking around his body stupidly, experiencing the wonderful feeling at this moment.

The roof inside the castle was at least three or four stories high from the ground, and it took five minutes for the man pretending to be dead to reach the top.

"Will he come down again later?" The girl asked her boyfriend who had been holding her hand tightly.She harbored a glimmer of hope, but her trembling voice still revealed that she didn't have the slightest confidence.

The girl's boyfriend frowned and stared at the dead boy.

Go up and down again?And tell them it was just a joke?He didn't think the manipulator behind it would be so boring.This is more of a warning.

There is nothing more shocking than witnessing it with your own eyes.

The man pretending to be dead seemed to have finally recovered from his sleepwalking fascination. He looked around and then at his feet.

"Ah!!!" The scream resounded throughout the castle belatedly.

And this lung-piercing scream seemed to break some kind of balance.

The unknown force that had been supporting him suddenly disappeared, and the man pretending to be dead performed what is called free fall on the spot.

Slap!Wheels...

The body of the man pretending to be dead fell to pieces quickly and was torn apart, rolling all over the ground.

The witch jumped down from the half-person-high stage, stepped on the clean floor, took out the ball joint from her arms, picked up the scattered limbs on the ground, and slowly spliced ​​them together.After a while, a man pretending to be dead who was almost exactly the same as before stood in front of everyone again, if one ignores the vertical lines on both sides of his mouth and the twelve transparent hanging lines on his body.

He was turned into a hanging puppet in front of everyone!

They also thought of the maid in Lolita dress.

"Little cutie, you are so beautiful. I will prepare a gorgeous dress for you to celebrate your new birth." The witch spoke the most terrifying words in the most moving voice.

"Oh, I forgot to tell everyone just now," she said apologetically, "The previous owner of the castle was a puppeteer witch, who would turn disobedient guests into dolls and leave them in the castle forever. And I ate him, so I became the new owner of the castle. Hehehe..."

The sharp laughter was infinitely magnified in the treacherous atmosphere, and the tension reached its peak at this moment. The girl directly pulled her boyfriend up and rushed to the gate of the castle, fleeing with her life.

The witch did not speak, nor did she stop her.

When the girl ran out not far from the gate of the castle, she was suddenly blocked by an invisible "wall" in front of her, then bounced back and sat down on the ground.

"What's wrong? Can you still stand up? Come up, come up, I'll carry you on my back, let's go!" The boyfriend said eagerly because he didn't know.

The girl stared blankly at the invisible "wall" in front of her, and said, "I can't walk anymore, it's useless."

The boyfriend stretched out his hand forward to test it. In a place he couldn't see, there was a soft gelatinous substance, which was very elastic, like the yoga balls that can be seen everywhere in water parks.

It doesn't hurt to hit it, it doesn't hurt to poke it, but it can trap them here firmly.

"What's that?" The people behind came one after another, and the senior man in the crowd suddenly pointed to somewhere in the void.

There seems to be something moving far and near outside the soft gelatin, distorted by the convex surface of the gelatin, which is not very clear.

"...people, human faces! that's human faces!!!"
