Why is My Second Dimension Weird?

"Ok?"

Xu Ming suddenly felt a hostile gaze shooting towards him from above.

He quickly looked up, and in a certain window of the castle turret, a black shadow flashed away.

Xu Ming couldn't help frowning.

Is this human or spooky?

Xu Ming stood there observing for a while, but the black shadow did not appear again.

So Xu Ming walked around the castle.

From the appearance alone, the castle is not too surprising.

Seeing that it was still early, Xu Ming hesitated for a while, pushed open the main entrance of the castle, and stepped inside.

As soon as he entered the castle, a cold feeling came over his face instantly, as if he had entered an ice cellar.

This castle is an imitation of ancient architecture, the lighting inside the castle is very poor, and it is abandoned, even the lights are not turned on.Even though it was broad daylight, the castle hall looked very dim.

Xu Ming walked around the castle with the flashlight of his mobile phone.

He found that this castle is similar to the Chinese Food Research Institute, and it is also a cooking research association, but the main research project is dessert.

On the left side of the hall on the first floor, Xu Ming found a large kitchen. In addition to conventional kitchen utensils, there were also a special bread oven, cake molds, and a lot of spoiled butter, cream, sugar, flour...

The right side of the hall seems to be assigned to the students of the seminar, inside are dormitories, laundry room, public dining room and so on.

After checking the first floor, Xu Ming went to the second floor.

Found a private kitchen, a room full of all kinds of weird toys, and a cute bedroom, which seems to belong to the owner here - Momo Akanekubo.

It's just been abandoned for a long time, the kitchen utensils in the kitchen are covered with dust, and the accumulated ingredients are either spoiled and moldy, or simply become a nest of snakes, rats, insects and ants. There is a disgusting rotten smell in the kitchen.

A room full of toys, the dolls inside are tattered and stained, and the cotton is squeezed out from the seams like internal organs.

Many dolls were missing arms and legs, and even lost one of their eyes.With one eye open, he fixedly stared at Xu Ming who broke into the room.

Xu Ming was horrified by staring at him, resisting the discomfort, and under the watchful eyes of the dolls, he searched around, found nothing suspicious, and left the room immediately.

Then Xu Ming entered the bedroom.

The decoration of the bedroom is pink as a whole. There are many kinds of bear puppets in the room, some wearing chef clothes, doctor clothes, adventure clothes... There are hundreds of them, big and small, all piled up on the bed.

Even the edge of the dressing table mirror is decorated with a bear with a wide mouth, and the jewelry box and drawer doors are also printed with bear patterns.

The whole room is filled with a lovely atmosphere.

It's a pity that this is the feeling it gave people before.

Now Xu Ming only feels corruption, dilapidation and weirdness...

Due to aging, the original pink wall has faded to a pinkish-white color similar to skin, and with various cracks, it looks like the skin of an old man.

The bear doll in the room is also dilapidated, except for the eyes, which seem to be wiped often, and the blackness looks very bright.

The feeling of being stared at by many pairs of eyes became more and more intense, which made Xu Ming feel chills down his spine.

The luxurious big bed full of bear dolls was also covered with thick dust, plus a pile of incomplete bear dolls, it looked like a huge pile of corpses.

The copper shell of the dressing table was covered with green patina, which made the big bear's mouth look even more ferocious, as if it had really turned into a man-eating monster.

Xu Ming walked to the dressing table and looked in the mirror.

The dust-covered mirror was a little blurry, and I could only vaguely see my own face.

Xu Ming didn't notice anything, and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly noticed something unusual.

I saw him put one hand in his pocket, and slowly raised the other.

The figure in the mirror did the same.

Seeing this, Xu Ming's expression changed drastically.

He raised his right hand, and the 'Xu Ming' in the mirror should have raised his left hand, but that 'Xu Ming' also raised his right hand...

Perhaps aware of being discovered by Xu Ming, the figure in the mirror grinned, showing a strange and sinister smile at Xu Ming, and then disappeared from the mirror.

Xu Ming put down the phone with a serious face, and he was a step slower.

Xu Ming checked around the castle, but didn't find many valuable findings, but basically confirmed that the castle is very weird and dangerous, and there are 'weird' wandering around in broad daylight.

After leaving the castle, Xu Ming found a clean place and sat down, playing with his mobile phone while patiently waiting for the night to fall.

While there was still time, Xu Ming turned on the system, ready to take a closer look at the mission briefing.

——'Fairy Tale Castle (1 stars)'

——Mission brief introduction: The castle full of fairy tales, when the blood moon rises, it will reveal another pair of ferocious faces...

——Task reminder: When the blood moon rises, look for the 'king' and open the door to the 'fairy tale'.

——Mission Tips: Don't believe everything you see, use your strength and wisdom.

Xu Ming understands force, he just upgraded his mobile phone, and got a new dagger, which is the time to try it out.

However, judging from the quest prompt, it was obvious that this quest still required him to solve some mysteries.

Playing with mobile phones, time flies by.

Before Xu Ming came back to his senses, night had already fallen.

Xu Ming took out the bread and mineral water in his backpack to satisfy his hunger, then stood up and patted the dust on his pants.

I checked the time on my phone.

It was already 9 o'clock in the evening.

Since it would take a lot of time to solve the mystery, Xu Ming decided to enter the castle ahead of schedule.

"what?"

When he came to the main gate of the castle, Xu Ming frowned and looked at something at the gate.

It was a 1-meter-tall iron puppet with orange-red rust on its joints, but someone pulled out its head from its neck and placed it upside down on the broken neck.

As soon as the wind blew, his head immediately shook slightly and made a creaking sound.

Coupled with the weird smile on the iron puppet's face, a weird atmosphere permeates it.

Most importantly, Xu Ming remembered very clearly that during the day, there was absolutely no such iron puppet at the gate of the castle.

It seemed to come out suddenly to welcome Xu Ming.

Xu Ming stared at it coldly, and the puppet 'smiled' in response.

Clang!

Suddenly Xu Ming kicked the iron doll to the ground, picked up his phone and took a picture of it.

Click!

The iron puppet struggled immediately, making harsh noises, but soon a large amount of black mist escaped from its body, and the puppet stopped moving immediately.

Xu Ming was worried, so he took out the dagger and stabbed it more than a dozen times to make sure that it was indeed dead, so he let it go.

This thing is also stupid, it popped up suddenly, and it looks so weird that any fool would know there is something wrong with it, so Xu Ming naturally couldn't just leave it alone.

Kill it directly to prevent it from attacking from behind, and at the same time ensure that the rear path is unimpeded.

After killing the tin puppet, Xu Ming waited another 10 minutes until the phone was fully charged, then pushed open the gate of the castle and walked in.

Seeing the scene inside the castle, Xu Ming couldn't help being taken aback, and soon his expression became serious.

The entire castle hall has completely changed compared to when he was investigating during the day.

When I came during the day, the castle hall was not particularly fancy because it served as the facade of the seminar.

The ground is formal marble floor tiles, with a crystal chandelier on the top, the reception desk is on the right side of the gate, and the bulletin board is on the left side.

The only thing that is more fancy is the huge bear doll that is one person tall and placed next to the reception desk.

But what appeared in front of Xu Ming now seemed to be another place overnight.

Colorful floors, bronze birdcages hanging from the ceiling, and white bones in the birdcages, poisonous mushroom-shaped decorations, witches' brooms, strange-smelling hanging pots, and weird oil paintings all over the walls.

The content of the painting is full of grotesque and weird.

A blood-red eye was revealed in a cloud of black mist, staring at Xu Ming below.

An octopus with eyes all over its body, with a strange light in its eyes.

A ghost with two heads and a scythe on its shoulders, with extremely cold eyes.

In the sea of ​​blood, countless pale arms were clinging to the edge of the oil painting, as if something was about to escape from the painting.

……

What made Xu Ming feel the weirdest and most terrifying was the portrait of the girl in the middle of the wall, facing the direction of the gate.

It was a young girl wearing a purple-black aristocratic costume, but the girl's head was replaced by the head of a teddy bear.

If this is the case, at best, it is just a painting with dull colors, depicting the naughty nature of a girl.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is an inconspicuous bloodstain on the girl's neck, and there seems to be a figure with a hood hidden in the shadow behind the girl.

Dim tones, toy heads, bloodstains on the neck, and figures in the shadows, if these details are connected together, a frightening conclusion will be drawn...

Xu Ming stared at the portrait for a while, then turned his gaze back.

Because he seems to have found the 'king', or the clues to the 'king'.

In the center of this grotesque and weird hall, there is a round stone table with a chess set on it.

One side is white crystal texture, the other side is pure black texture.

On the side of the white crystal, the number of chess pieces is complete.

But the black side is sparse, not only lacking 8 guards, but also lacking one each for knights, chariots, bishops, queens, and kings.

It is impossible for Xu Ming to find a real king here, and the 'king' in the system prompt is also in quotation marks.

So does this so-called 'king' refer to the missing black 'king' in the chess set in front of you?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
