When I started rebelling in the rule ghost story

"Dear guest, please wait for me for a while, please let me go to the kitchen and bring you a cup of hot milk."

Following the lame old man into the castle, the old man asked Su Xiao to sit down on the spacious and comfortable sofa first, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen of the castle is on the first floor, but the living room here is surprisingly large, equivalent to a football field.

"What is the meaning of the rules that let us come to the town of bliss? Let us get here by bus, is it just to let us enjoy ourselves here comfortably?"

Su Xiao stood up from the sofa, and he looked at the environment of the living room with keen eyes.

The decoration of the living room is very simple, the floor is covered with a purple carpet that symbolizes elegance, and the walls are hung with realistic oil paintings.

Sofas, dining tables, pendulum clocks, chandeliers, oil paintings, carpets, wall lamps, fireplaces, green plants...these all show the luxury here.

It looks like a place where elegant nobles lived in the [-]th century.

There are upward stairs in the living room, stepping on the soft carpet and looking up from the bottom, there should be two floors on the top.

"Lucy, Lucy, you two go to the top to find out if there are any rules or something, and by the way, see if there are any other traces of weird existence here."

Su Xiao called out the black cat and the white cat, and ordered: "Remember, all the overturned places must be restored to their original state."

After Su Xiao finished speaking, he called General Hei out again: "General Hei, see if there is a basement or something like that here, and collect some useful information for me."

Su Xiao can't get away now, so he can only let a few weirdos find useful information instead of him.

Although Andre said that Wei Wei's mind is different from that of human beings, but Su Xiao has no better choice at the moment. The place is too big to find it by himself, and Wei Wei knows how to hide better than him.

After Su Xiao finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, the black cat, white cat and black general disappeared in place.

The Black General is a veteran at finding things, and Su Xiao can still trust its ability to find things.

After finishing the arrangements, Su Xiao calmly walked to those realistic oil paintings. Most of these oil paintings were portraits of people, with a few landscape paintings mixed in.

As he walked, Su Xiao quickly finished reading these oil paintings, but what made him feel strange was that these oil paintings were all portraits of young people.

Su Xiao suddenly remembered something.

"I remembered, from the time I entered the town of Bliss, except for those children and the elderly, I didn't see the existence of young people. Where did they... go?"

"From this point of view, the town of Bliss should hide some secrets. Do I need to reveal these secrets?"

Su Xiao lowered his head in thought.

While he was meditating, the pendulum clock on the wall rang, and Su Xiao turned around and found that the pendulum clock here was very similar to the huge pendulum clock on the tallest tower outside.

However, this is a scaled down version.

A pendulum clock makes a mechanical ticking sound.

Su Xiao noticed that the time display on the pendulum clock seemed a little strange. From entering the town of bliss to being a guest at the old man's castle, it took at least half an hour.

When entering the town, Su Xiao looked at the time on the huge pendulum clock. If it is correct, the time on the small pendulum clock here is the same as the big pendulum clock outside.

When Su Xiao looked at the small pendulum clock and felt puzzled, at this moment, from the tallest tower in the town, there was a burst of melodious bells.

The bell is melodious and deep, simple and long...

At this time, the small pendulum clock on the wall of the castle's living room also made the same sound as the big pendulum clock.

The time of the small pendulum clock is exactly pointing to twelve o'clock at noon.

"No, the time here has obviously slowed down. It took me at least half an hour to enter the town, but the time on the pendulum clock has just passed 10 minutes."

"It doesn't make sense..."

Su Xiao frowned and turned his head, but suddenly saw the lame old man who appeared behind him at some point in his eyes. At this moment, he was kneeling respectfully on the ground in the direction of the huge pendulum clock.

There were words in his mouth.

Su Xiao could only vaguely hear words such as piety, gratitude, bestowal, and beauty.

After a while, the melodious and reverberating bell disappeared, and the lame old man stood up again holding the cup of hot milk.

The old man didn't explain too much, he just put the hot milk on the dining table covered with a clean white tablecloth.

The old man also slowly stood in front of the small pendulum clock.

The old man smiled and said: "You must be very strange, the time here seems to be different from what you think?"

"Hehe, it's a little different." Su Xiao shrugged, but did not deny that he had such doubts.

Regarding the issue of time, the old man didn't seem to intend to hide it, he continued to speak with a smile:

"Actually, many guests who come here will have such doubts. That's because Bliss Town is a special existence, and even the time is extremely special."

"What kind of special law?" Su Xiao asked.

"The flow of time here is slower than that of the outside world. It took three days in the outside world but only one day here. The residents here usually don't leave the town of Bliss, because this place can bring us happiness, and it is a paradise for true enjoyment."

"You mean...the flow of time here is only one-third of the outside world?"

"Yes, the most expensive guest."

"Wait... why do you call me a distinguished guest?"

"The residents of our Bliss Town are famous for their hospitality. We will call you this kind of tourist from afar."

The old man was a little flustered, and tentatively asked: "Guest, don't you like this name? Or is there something we haven't entertained well?"

"No, it's not your problem."

Su Xiao broke the topic.

He walked to the dining table, picked up the cup of hot milk, and was just about to drink it, but he put it back suddenly.

Seeing Su Xiao's actions, the old man was a little puzzled.

But before he could think too much, Su Xiao asked again: "Can you tell me about these oil paintings?"

"Of course, I am extremely happy." The old man replied piously.

Su Xiao was stunned.

He didn't expect the old man to agree so readily.

"Can you tell me, where have all the young people in Bliss Town gone?"

"Are we young people here?" Su Xiao's question made the old man frown slightly, as if he was lost in memory, and seemed to be thinking of some words to answer.

The old man frowned and thought hard for a while.

In the end, he said helplessly: "To be honest, I don't know how to answer this question. It may be because I'm old and don't remember these things very well. I'm sorry, distinguished guest."

"do not remember?"

The old man's answer was beyond Su Xiao's expectation.

If it was another excuse, Su Xiao might believe it, but such a crude and superficial excuse seems perfunctory.

However, when Su Xiao looked at the humble and sincere eyes of the old man, Su Xiao had another intuition.

Perhaps what the old man said is true...
