Days as a dragon's leg pendant

The butler silently appeared in front of the long table. He clapped his hands lightly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and spoke indifferently:

"Guests, it's seven o'clock in the evening. You can spend the time after dinner freely. But please remember to return to the room you selected before eleven o'clock, otherwise..."

He scanned the crowd and drew out his voice in a mysterious way: "If you see something you shouldn't see or encounter something you shouldn't encounter, you are responsible. Of course, if you can't bear it and want to escape early, that's a big deal. is allowed."

He bowed slightly and made a very perfunctory arc, "Remind again, before the wall clocks on each floor ring eleven, please be sure to return to your room and not wander around the castle. Then, I wish you a pleasant meal. "

Arnold watched the butler quietly.

He looks young, probably no more than 30 years old, and his service attitude is visible to the naked eye.She doesn't hide her good looks from the guests at all.

Maybe working in such a hotel full of gimmicks gave him a sense of superiority regarding the guests as idiots.

Rhyme pursed his lips and burped.

"Why am I a little sleepy..."

He shook his head, his mouth hadn't been wiped clean, his eyes were already narrowed from sleepiness.

"I, I still want to play." He struggled and refused to close his eyes, his small body was swaying.

Arnold stretched out his hand to support Lime, who was so sleepy that he was about to fall from the chair, and was very surprised.

This is too fast, it's only seven o'clock now, Lime is obviously a young dragon with unlimited energy, when did he master the instant sleep skill?

He almost suspected that there was something wrong with the meal—Eureka said it was bitter, and Lime fell asleep after eating...

If he and the other seventy-odd passengers were not normal, Arnold would have been so frightened by this speculation that he would have vomited.

Eureka looked at Lime thoughtfully, realized that Arnold had also finished eating, turned around and said "Go back to the room".

"Yeah." Arnold Chick nodded in a pecking style.

After eating, A Nuo felt that his body was more or less warmed up, and he was not as weak as before, so he shouldn't be surprised by the wind and grass any more.

Eureka carried Lime, who was in a "coma", on his shoulders, and Arnold stood up, ready to go back to the attic immediately.

They didn't have the slightest thought of staying outside, and they didn't need to heed the butler's warning.

It's not really for sightseeing, the atmosphere here is still a bit scary, and wandering around scares me even more.

The more you go up, the more you repeat the experience in the afternoon. There are fewer and fewer people, the surroundings are getting quieter, and Arnold's hairs are getting more and more erect.

After looking back at nothing behind him for the tenth time, Arnold finally walked up two steps cheekily to the front of Eureka, saying, "I'll open the way."

Having trustworthy people behind you gives you a sense of security.Even exploring the unknown ahead seems less scary than exposing the danger behind.

Arnold had never felt that the distance from the first floor to the fourth floor was so long.

"Eureka, let's talk. How old are you?" Arnold really couldn't stand this quiet environment that made people feel creepy, and he started to have nothing to say.

"I haven't calculated it." Fortunately, there was an answering voice behind him.

"I am, it will be my birthday in seven or eight days, so soon...then do you know your birthday?" Arnold swore that he never meant to remind the other party to prepare a gift when he brought up this topic, really not.

"I do not know."

"Oh. In fact, the birthday is not a big deal. It doesn't matter if you have it or not. No, it's meaningless!"

Arno suddenly remembered that Lime said that Eureka was a purebred egg-born dragon without parents.Although I don't know if I should judge the evil dragon with the usual human emotions, but I also feel that mentioning this may make Eureka feel lonely, so I quickly put the conversation away.

As expected, Eureka stopped answering the call.

Maybe it really touched his heart, and Arnold felt a little regretful.

He was thinking of talking about other topics, but when he walked to the corner of the stairs, there was no figure of the person behind him in his peripheral vision.

???

A Nuo didn't dare to look back, he stayed where he was, stiffened from his back to his neck, and said with a trembling voice, "... Eureka?"

no respond.

I don't know when the sound of footsteps other than myself disappeared.

"Eureka!"

Arnold almost collapsed, he quickly went up the steps one step at a time, as if someone was chasing him.

But it was all the more frightening because no one was chasing him.

What the hell is this place? !Why is he alone?

Arno ran to the fourth floor in a panic, only to find that the mural on the dome was gone.

His heart was beating extremely fast, and as soon as his eyes fell, he saw a dense crowd of people standing in front of him, all wearing black clothes, and their pale and flat faces with blurred facial features were all facing his direction——

All the people in the mural came out, occupying the entire atrium on the fourth floor!

Their strangely dark eyes were all focused on A Nuo's body, their mouths like a black line were laughing strangely, their steps were stiff, and they approached him little by little.

A Nuo was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound. His hands and feet were all numb, but he retreated instinctively, back to the stairs he just climbed up, turned around and fled downstairs.

But a pair of hands stretched out from behind and wrapped around his waist, preventing him from moving forward.

"Ah! Let me go!... Eureka..."

There was a bit of crying in A Nuo's voice, he thumped his limbs vigorously, but the hands on his waist and abdomen did not move at all, which made people desperate.

The hands moved upward until they were holding his head.

A Nuo felt a cold fingertip on his forehead.

Once again, there are no stairs, no men in black.

He was lying on the single bed in the attic, and Eureka was standing by the bed, leaning over and wrapping his arms around his waist, looking down at him.

Sleeping Rhyme, who didn't get the honor of being in bed, was snoring on the floor.

This slight snoring sound is much warmer than the "squeak" sound of the stairs!

His heart was still beating fast, but Arnold's nerves gradually relaxed.

What does it mean?Had he just hallucinated?

Did he follow Eureka back to the attic, but fell into a terrifying fantasy?

Arno stared blankly into Eureka's eyes.

Almost as soon as he saw the other party, he immediately lost his composure and rushed forward to grab Eureka.

He threw himself on the opponent with all four limbs, like a koala hugging his own big tree, stammering: "I, I, I was on the stairs just now, you disappeared... I climbed up, it was the one in the painting. Someone came out... Eureka, there is really a ghost here!"

Arnold's nose was sore, and he suppressed the tears welling up so that he would not cry out in embarrassment.

He was really scared.

At this moment, howling and hugging Eureka's neck tightly, and burying his head on the other's shoulder, he was actually afraid that this moment was an illusion.

Only by feeling the real existence and warm body temperature of the other party can we have a sense of security.

Eureka patted Anuo's head lightly. If you didn't look at his red ear tips and abnormal blinking, you would feel that he seemed to be coaxing the frightened "children" naturally and skillfully.

"It's okay, there's no ghost. There's something wrong with the meal you just had. To be precise, everything here is wrong, but it's not the kind of problem you're afraid of."

Eureka talked about the tongue twister.

Arnold gradually calmed down, and quickly let go of Eureka, not daring to continue to "make mistakes".

"Is it the meal that made me hallucinate?"

Eureka coughed softly, touched the back of her neck, and sat up straight on the side of the bed: "Including the sound of the piano at the beginning, and the various decorations in the castle, they all give people psychological hints. Blame me. I didn't notice anything wrong with you at first. I'm sorry."

A Nuo looked shocked, waved his hands in a panic, and then started his own brainstorming.

Could this be a trap set by the castle owner?If everyone was so scared, they would all run away, so naturally they didn't have to pay the so-called [-] gold coins.

What kind of immoral money-gathering method is this...

But how could the owner of the castle have such great abilities? !
