Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 141

The moment she stepped on the steps, Lin Sanjiu almost thought that she was going to be teleported away again—for a moment, she regained her composure and saw that there were still thick carpeted stairs under her feet.

Was it just me who was in danger?
Doubts flashed across his mind, Lin Sanjiu immediately grabbed Leila's wrist, and while she kept asking questions, he stomped upstairs.

Hurrying through the corridor full of portraits, when she rushed to the big silver mirror, Lin Sanjiu stopped abruptly, and Leila almost bumped her head on her back.

"Hey," she swallowed dryly, and raised her chin towards the mirror: "What's the origin of this?"

She spoke very fast, for fear that she would be teleported away before finishing any word.

Following Lin Sanjiu's instructions, as soon as her eyes fell on the silver mirror, Lila's expression lightened immediately, and even the anxiety and confusion just now disappeared: "This one, it's mine!"

"Huh?" Lin Sanjiu looked at her.

"Although my husband is very rich, even he praised me that this dowry is a rare good thing." Speaking of this, Laila didn't know what to think, and touched its silver edge lovingly: "How many times did he I said that I would dedicate it to the king, but I refused to agree..."

Hearing this, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and faintly remembered something.

But at this moment, she didn't have time to think about it, and she was afraid that her time to stay here was running out, so she interrupted Laila hastily: "Okay, you come—"

The two hurried to the last room, and took out the iron key to open the door—the blood stain seemed to have seeped in, and it felt dry to the touch, but the blood was dark and red among the grains of the iron stone, which could not be wiped off .

Lin Sanjiu didn't care about it, pushed the door suddenly, fixed his eyes on Leila: "Look!"

Laila probably remembered her husband's instructions, so she looked disturbed and a little excited.She stretched her fair neck - Lin Sanjiu had seen iron blue and blood red on this neck not long ago - she opened her head and glanced, and Leila turned around blankly and asked: "...There seems to be a woman inside? "

……what?
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked back into the room.

As soon as her gaze fell into the room, she froze.The figures hanging from the roof just now disappeared, as if they had never existed before. There was only a patch of deep and shallow light, dividing the room into several parts interlaced with light and dark.The man Lyra spoke of was sitting in the shadows at the back of the room.

Leila suddenly turned pale, stared blankly at her, and said softly, "...Well, that seems to be you..."

Lin Sanjiu didn't make a sound - her gaze had been glued to her for a long time, and every pore on her body was leaking cold air.When she first glanced at her, she felt that the woman was a little strange, but after a few more seconds of looking, it was the familiar field pants and boots that reminded her: that was indeed "Lin Sanjiu".

Blood was oozing from the fingers of another "self", as if his arm had been injured.The two people at the door made such a big commotion, she didn't seem to realize it at all, she just stared at the other direction expressionlessly - Lin Sanjiu only took a glance and was sure that "my" nerves were tense Hold tight, fully on guard against someone.

But in that direction, it was empty and there was nothing.

"...It's so, so strange...Who are you guys..." Lin Sanjiu turned a deaf ear to Laila's bewildered murmur beside him, and only took a step forward in a daze.

"No." She moved her lips slightly.

This person - let's put it this way - didn't even look this way, he didn't seem to notice that there was someone at the door at all, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help thinking.Could it be that……

As if to confirm her thoughts, just as she took this step, the room suddenly became darker.A forest of corpses suddenly hung down from the ceiling, blocking the light, and slowly swaying back and forth in the darkness.Leila was startled suddenly, and suddenly let out a piercing scream, and fell down and sat at the door. Lin Sanjiu glanced hurriedly, and the "self" just now had disappeared.

The scene in this room can never be reality——

The corpse of "Laila" I saw just now was hanging behind the corpses of several strange women; Lin Sanjiu's throat was still dry even though he had guessed in his heart.Just about to call her, Lila unexpectedly stared in this direction first, and said tremblingly: "...Isn't this Rosa from the neighboring town? Why did she die?"

Lin Sanjiu frowned.She faintly felt that something was wrong, and she didn't understand it for a while, so she just followed her words and said: "...do you know her?"

"I, I know her! She used to show it off to me at the ball, and her father bought her something nice..." Lyra's voice was trembling, "Since I married Blue Beard, she Not anymore, not anymore..."

"Wait a minute, isn't she your husband's ex-wife?" Lin Sanjiu finally realized what was wrong——

In Blue Beard's fairy tale, the heroine sees the corpses of Blue Beard's seven ex-wives hanging in the room, so she realizes that she is dying and calls her two brothers for help.

"Of course not," Laila wiped away tears. "My husband has never been married before. I'm the only wife."

As soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Lin Sanjiu's face, and couldn't help being surprised: "What, what's wrong? You look really scary..."

Lin Sanjiu's complexion was snow-white, staring at Laila tightly, unable to utter a word.

Counting the corpses hanging from the ceiling, there are exactly seven.

In Blue Beard's fairy tales, the heroine's name is never mentioned.Therefore, as soon as Lyra declared her identity, she automatically identified her as the woman who finally escaped in the fairy tale—that is, the eighth wife of Bluebeard.

Now it seems that if the fairy tale continues according to the original track, Laila will definitely die.This thought suddenly crawled over Lin Sanjiu's heart like a vine—and, why did the king give the mirror to Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother, which Laila refused to dedicate to the king?
By now, she has almost understood everything.Lin Sanjiu clenched his lips, and lifted Laila up with a hoarse voice: "Let's go, this room is filled with...the future."

She couldn't bear to let the poor woman see her own death, so she hurriedly pushed Laila out of the room.In the whole room, only the pool of blood that came from nowhere on the ground was real, and the iron key happened to fall in the middle of it—other than that, it was all projections of the future.

If this guess is correct, then probably I will injure my right arm soon... Lin Sanjiu is in the vortex of the torrent, how can he take this little flesh injury seriously, he only sighed softly, thinking about "Blue Beard" story, while asking Lyra for the key, the door had to be re-locked.

Lyra's lips were pale, and she rubbed her hands uneasily, as if she didn't know where to start.Looking at her, she seems to think that she is a little bit crazy - she looked at Lin Sanjiu, who was not familiar with medieval European locks, tried several times and failed to lock them. She was about to speak when she heard a sudden voice from downstairs There was a loud bang, and the hallway was buzzing with a man's growl: "Laila! Where are you? Come out!"

Unexpectedly, Blue Beard would come back at this juncture—his sound almost shocked Laila out of her wits. She hurriedly whispered "I'll be right back", and then said "Ai" in a panic , turned around and ran downstairs.

The back of her blue dress was stained with a blindingly rich, dark red, which Lyra hadn't noticed when she fell in the doorway just now.

Lin Sanjiu saw it at a glance, and was so anxious that she was sweating. She just said aloud: "Stop—"

However, at this time, the door of the house creaked and opened by itself because it was not locked.

She couldn't help cursing secretly, and looked back subconsciously, and suddenly found a person standing in the darkness behind the door.

For a moment, she almost froze her heart—it took half a second before she realized that the person standing in this room was not a real person.

"Why did you show up too?" Lin Sanjiu smiled wryly, looked at the familiar face, and muttered to himself, momentarily feeling that his mind was in a mess. "Won't you get hurt too?"

She took a quick look up and down at her friend, seeing that she was in good health and seemed to be in no pain, so she was a little relieved.At this moment, Lila's sharp scream came from downstairs, which made Lin Sanjiu's nerves jump, and rushed into the corridor with a stride.

It seems that the only thing to do is to kill Bluebeard——

Lin Sanjiu pursed her lips coldly. As soon as the thought came to her mind, the scene not far away faded away, and she returned to Cinderella's door.
