[Infinite] End Game

Tang Yu and Chang He returned to the room after a round of notifications, and they took time to rest without talking about anything else.

The next day, Tang Yu was woken up by a sudden knock on the door.As soon as the door was opened, Liu Shucai and Mutor stood at the door with serious faces, and said, "Little Huangmao is missing."

Missing again.

Tang Yu frowned instinctively, but soon came to his senses. Looking at the faces of the two of them, he knew that it should be read as "missing" and written as "dead".

"Let's go there right away." Tang Yu jumped out of bed, scratched his head that was sleeping like a chicken coop, and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, Chang He grabbed his wrist and dragged him around half a circle.

"Clothes." Chang He pointed to the coat on the back of the chair, and asked Tang to put on his clothes with a serious expression. It was still snowing outside, and the castle was not too warm. What should I do if I get sick from the cold?

Of course, Tang Yu was obedient, and after getting dressed, he and Chang He rushed to the innermost end of the corridor.

In fact, this place has already passed the door of Xiaohuangmao's room, and there is no way to go forward. There is only a solid wall in front of everyone, and the carpet under the corner has been soaked with a large pool of blood, and the center of the bloodstain is upside down. The body of a puppet without a head corresponds to the wooden head rolling down in the corner with wide-eyed eyes and a ferocious expression.

"...Is this, little yellow hair?" Zhang Jingjing rubbed the clothes on her chest tightly, as if her heart would jump out of her mouth in a second.She asked tremblingly, "Isn't his room at the front? Why did he come here?"

Everyone didn't answer her. Tang Yu already had the answer in his heart when he thought of the earthquake in yesterday's hallucination.He was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "The second person, starting tonight, the power of the puppet may become stronger again."

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, Chang He walked into the pool of blood, picked up the body of the puppet and the head that fell on the ground, and sent it to the storage room to be with Ms. Jiang before the housekeeper found out, and then went downstairs to eat After breakfast.

After the meal, Tang Yan called Zhang Jingjing, and the three of them gathered in the room again. After a brief silence, Tang Tong said, "We have to find a way to go to the third floor."

"--What?" Zhang Jingjing was taken aback.

"Actually, not only the third floor, but also the housekeeper's room." Tang Yu gave Zhang Jingjing a look of peace, and said patiently: "Each dungeon has its own story line. The method is also hidden in the truth behind these, but the context of the dungeon is still unclear, so we must actively explore."

At any time, it is better to actively explore than to sit still.

Because he wanted to take Zhang Jingjing with him, Tang Tong said slowly: "A few days ago we came into contact with families with extreme night and extreme day weather, the snow field outside, and this castle, the housekeeper in the castle, The master and the puppet. Polar night and snowfield are both natural conditions. Although they must have their special meanings, the meaning behind them is too deep, and it is too troublesome to explore and it is difficult to achieve results. Therefore, the remaining few are worth investigating. strip."

"First, when was the castle built? Why was the castle built in such a remote place? There have been several owners in the castle. Why are there only the old butler and the current young master left. Second, the owner of the castle is not in good health. Is there any reason, why the wooden stick he carved can move, and what secrets does he have. Third, the puppet can become stronger when killing people, but why the puppet kills. Fourth, what role does the butler play in all these stories, If you know that he is aging like that, it is impossible for one person to take care of such a big castle."

Zhang Jingjing raised her head and listened to Tang Guo's words, the look in her eyes gradually changed from bewilderment to awe.Then, she heard Tang continue to say to her: "So, we need your help."

Zhang Jingjing: "—Eh? Eh?!"

"...I, what can I do?" Zhang Jingjing, who was suddenly queried, was a little panicked, but she rubbed her belly again thinking of Tang Yu's words before, and still mustered up the courage to speak.

"I'm going to check the housekeeper's room on the first floor, and Brother Chang is going to the third floor, so I need you to help me distract the housekeeper and buy me enough time."

Tang Yu brought Zhang Jingjing to his room, pointed to the broken quilt, the goose down all over the floor, and the big hole in the bed, and said to the person who was stunned by the scene as soon as he entered the door: "The night before yesterday I was the first person attacked by the puppet, and these marks were left at that time. Brother Chang will leave first, and I will jump out of the window. All you need to do is to bring up the housekeeper after I leave and ask him to clean up the house for you .”

"Then what should I say?" Zhang Jingjing asked hesitantly.

"It's best not to say anything, but if he insists on asking, just tell the truth that you were attacked by a moving puppet. If he doesn't want to clean up and wants to leave early, you can pretend to have a stomachache. If he wants to attack, you can Wear a mask... Anyway, buy me at least 15 minutes."

"...Okay, okay, I'll try." Zhang Jingjing pursed her lips when she heard the words, and finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.After thinking about it, she walked in front of the torn quilt, squatted down and pulled up a corner and shook it vigorously, shaking out more velvet, and then pulled out the candle from the three-headed candlestick and put it together with the matches. The sharp candlestick was held in her hand and carried behind her back, which was easily accessible by her side.

...It also feels quite cruel.

But since every room has a bell to call the butler, and the old butler himself said that they can summon him at any time when they need it, then Zhang Jingjing's behavior should be allowed, and it should be the butler Lawrence's responsibility to meet the needs of the guests. do.

Tang Yu watched Chang He leave first, and walked to the balcony himself. He turned his head, smiled at Zhang Jingjing, said briskly, "Come on," and jumped off the balcony.

On the other side, Zhang Jingjing also took a deep breath, and rang the bell that led directly to the butler's room.

After turning down the stairs, Tang Yu hid himself in the corner of the wall and quickly turned in after watching the butler's figure disappear at the end of the corridor.

The size of the butler's room is larger than that of the guest room. There are a lot of things but they are organized in an orderly manner without any clutter.

After Tang Yu entered the door, he went straight to the butler's desk. There were some classics on the desk, and there were sheepskin books in the drawer that recorded the details of the castle's life. Tang Yu looked through it and found that these records started half a year ago. At the end of this list, that is, under the date of the last supply a week ago, besides the food and supplies brought into the castle, there is a line of thin small characters that reads : "I can't hold out until the extreme day, but I have arranged everything..."
