Happy Halloween

"Please enter the password of the safe, the password is five digits."

As can be seen from the picture, the upper picture is divided into five small parts, each part should point to a number, while the lower picture is its corresponding clue.

The conclusion can be drawn by simple observation. Put the above picture into the grid below, and each shape is one-to-one correspondence. Then the answer can be obtained by combining the numbers in the grid in order.

48321, this is the password of the safe.

Mu Xuanying entered the numbers one by one, the indicator light of the safe flashed a green light symbolizing correctness, and then opened the door by herself.

In the cabinet is a book.

"Heartbreaker"

"Nine ghosts hide in a dark castle.

Before the end of the game, they will not appear easily, they will only proudly wait in their room, waiting for someone to visit.

But for Lich Young Master Liu, he is not just satisfied with playing with humans.

His job is a daring thief. It is said that there is nothing in the world that he can't take away.

The queen's crown, the duke's cane, the lady's champagne, the knight's sword, the wizard's wand...all without exception.

His exuberant curiosity drives him to keep obtaining important things in the hands of others, but this is not enough, the evil lich also wants to destroy all the treasures that are not the target.

What a hateful, what a hateful guy.

Who is the next poor person to be targeted? "

"Eh? Is the owner of this castle a thief?" Mu Xuanying was surprised.

"It's not the owner of the castle, it's just the owner of this room." Mo Yu curled his lips, "Read this book carefully, Young Master Liu is a lich, which can correspond to one of the sculptures on the landing outside. There are nine very idle fellows."

"Ten." Mu Xuanying blinked and corrected.

"Ok?"

"Beside the nine sculptures, there is a tenth empty pedestal. I think it should be counted as ten."

"It's not ten without a sculpture."

"But according to the law of nine ghosts and one person..."

"Aren't I a human too?" Mo Yu frowned unrecognizably, he glanced at Mu Xuanying coldly, and his tone obviously became harsh, "Don't think about the puzzles that have already been solved. , Maomao, let's go to another room to have a look."

"Ah, that's fine." Mu Xuanying responded, and quietly glanced at Mo Yu's profile in the hazy light.The long crimson radiance that flitted across his cheeks flowed, revealing a strange and magical brilliance, and his cold red eyes were inexplicably full of power, and he was subconsciously unwilling to refute Mo Yu's opinion on a guess about a small puzzle , even if the idea in my heart is different.

Mu Xuanying walked a few steps, stopped, turned around and walked back to the long table, pointing to the wooden box.Just as he was about to pick up the doll he had just put into the box, his fingertips trembled suddenly, and his face involuntarily changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" Mo Yu, who had been focusing on Mu Xuanying, asked immediately.

Mu Xuanying's eyes remained motionless, staring at the wooden box, her lips opened and closed several times, and finally they were drawn into a tight line.

tick.tick.

The bright red liquid overflowed from the edge of the box, gradually spread outward along the tabletop, flowed to the edge of the table, condensed into red beads drop by drop, and dripped onto the smooth marble floor.

The flowing liquid has a viscous jelly-like texture, and the surface of the liquid is so smooth that no ripples are visible, clearly reflecting the boy's expressionless face.

Mu Xuanying's fingers paused for a moment on the scarlet liquid.His eyes changed, and he reached into the box full of liquid without hesitation.

The broken pieces of cotton that were fished out were saturated with blood-like liquid, the light-colored rags were stained with dirty colors, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

When Mu Xuanying didn't notice, Mo Yu's eyes instantly became full of tyrannical killing intent, his piercing gaze slowly swept across the room like a knife, as if he was about to be completely detonated by anger in the next moment.The air froze coldly.

Mu Xuanying slowly pulled out a small silver key from the wadding, and gripped the remaining remnants tightly. Blood rushed out from between his fingers. He frowned, and his eyes showed thick Strong feelings of guilt.

"Sorry……"

He picked out the pieces of the doll one by one from the pool of blood, and pieced together the shape of the doll on the table according to the appearance in his memory, repeating the words of apology in his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but if I hadn't brought the doll here without permission, it wouldn't have been broken. …

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't mess with other people's important things.

"Sorry……"

Mo Yu took a deep breath.

"do not talk."

"I'm sorry, your master must be very sad..."

"Don't say any more."

"Sorry……"

"That's enough, Mao Mao, don't apologize!" Mo Yu couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted, "He won't blame you!"

Mu Xuanying lowered his head slowly, his forehead hair covered his eyes, Mo Yu could only see his teeth biting his lower lip almost bleeding.

"He won't blame you." Mo Yu repeated again, the syllables were short and full of convincing power.

"But I..." Mu Xuanying suddenly raised her head.

"I won't lie to you." Mo Yu said.

Only you, he will not be willing to blame.

"Even if you made a mistake, it was just an unintentional mistake. What you hate is that villain hiding in the dark with evil intentions." Mo Yu walked up to Mu Xuanying, picked up the parchment on the table, and did not know when it was written on it. The handwriting has changed, and the blood-red text is so bright and insolent that it hurts the eyes.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous, it turned out that the "baby" who was regarded as a treasure by that person is such a worthless rag, ah, what a disappointment. It's boring, and my treasure box is dirty with this kind of rag up.

What a disappointment.

Hee hee hee, worthless things should be destroyed as expected.

For the sake of fellow [——], I helped you dispose of the useless trash, you must sincerely thank me for my kindness. "

The candle flame swayed endlessly, and through the crystal cover, the jumping flames shone into Mo Yu's deep eyes.He slowly folded the parchment in his hand and stretched it towards the candlestick.

Mu Xuanying watched Mo Yu burn the blood book, and pursed her lips: "Let's go."

He doesn't want to be in this place anymore.

"En." Mo Yu responded.The moment Mu Xuanying turned around, Mo Yu suddenly stared at his back expressionlessly, with scrutiny, scrutiny, and strong suspicion in his eyes. His hand slowly stretched behind his waist, and his fingertips had already touched Cold handle.

The dim candlelight stretched the shadows of the two extremely long, extending from the soles of their feet to the wall in front of them. Mu Xuanying held the doorknob and noticed that Mo Yu hadn't moved.

"Brother Mo Yu?" Mu Xuanying turned around, seeing Mo Yu still standing there, he was a little puzzled, "Do you still want to stay here?"

Mo Yu put down his hand naturally.He shook his head: "It's okay, let's go, Mao Mao."

The two went out to continue exploring and walked up the stairs to the second floor.As Mo Yu said, all the rooms were locked, and the key Mu Xuanying obtained from the doll's belly could not match the locks of any room.They guessed that there might be clues on the first floor and went back downstairs.

Symmetrical to the tea room in the corridor on the right on the first floor is a narrow storage room. The door can be opened, but the room has obviously been left unattended for a long time, and the first time the door is opened, dust blows in. That's why it was ignored by the two of them just now. Pass.The wooden door opened slowly with a creak, and the floating dust fell down. Mu Xuanying was choked by the dust, and coughed twice while covering her mouth and nose.Mo Yu, who was behind him, squinted his eyes slightly, and had a panoramic view of the layout of the house.

"It's been a long time since anyone came here."

The jack-o-lantern in her hand exuded a warm orange glow, and Mu Xuanying looked around all the way, being careful not to touch the sundries on the ground.This place seems to be the ancillary room of the Lich's residence, but the things placed here are more old-fashioned and ordinary compared to the treasures in the room just now.Plaster statues were stacked in corners, pirate skull flags and round rudders hung on the walls, and the closets were covered with a thick layer of dust.Mu Xuanying flipped through the old parchment rolls in the cabinet, the ink on them had faded to the point where the handwriting could not be seen clearly.

"The puzzle set by the castle owner... Do you think it will be hidden here?"

The things here are too dilapidated and old, and he can't help but wonder if this is also within the scope of what they have to explore.After all, he was walking around in other people's castles, and Mu Xuanying always felt a little uncomfortable in his actions. He didn't want to trespass on other people's private areas unless necessary.

Mo Yu didn't answer, but walked around the room.

"Why did you come to this castle?" Mo Yu asked suddenly.

"Ah? Me?" Mu Xuanying was taken aback.

The other party's eyes drifted over faintly, as if saying that there are only two of us here, if you don't ask who are you asking?

"Uh... that... I dressed up like this because it's Halloween."

He smiled awkwardly, raised the pumpkin lantern in his hand, and the white cloak on his body.He stretched out his overlong sleeves and pulled up his hat to cover his head. The pattern on the hat blocked his face, making him look like a little ghost.

"It is a traditional custom in our town that today everyone has to dress up as ghosts, so as to scare away the real evil spirits summoned by the god of death!"

"..."

Mo Yu stared at the young man with teeth and claws in front of him for a long while, and was speechless for a long time.

OK, boy, you win.

"The people in the village are used to this activity, so it's not good to be scared. I planned to hide in the forest to scare the passers-by, but I not only fell asleep, but also got lost..." Mu Xuanying said a little embarrassedly, "Later, I saw a castle on the top of the mountain, so I decided to stay here temporarily."

"Do it yourself?" Mo Yu squatted down, he was moving a wooden box, and asked casually, "Do you have any friends?"

Unexpectedly, Mu Xuanying's reaction was rare and intense.

"Of course I have!" he exclaimed.

Mo Yu paused, looked up at him, and found something wrong with Mu Xuanying's expression.He seemed to notice Mo Yu's scrutinizing gaze, and turned his face away unnaturally.

From his point of view, the ponytail boy in a long cloak lowered his head, his chest was constantly heaving, but he was pretending to be calm in an awkward manner.

"Oh? What about others?" Mo Yu asked lightly.

"..." Mu Xuanying didn't answer.

"What kind of person is your friend?" Mo Yu seemed to be very interested in this topic, and asked again, "Can you tell me his name?"

"..."

Mo Yu looked at Mu Xuanying with calm and sharp eyes.

"I... I don't remember..." After a while, Mu Xuanying said slowly, "I had a serious illness, Uncle Xie said that I forgot many things, but I remember that I have a very important friend! "He looked anxious.

"What about others?" Mo Yu asked.

"..." Mu Xuanying stopped talking again, he seemed to be trying hard to remember but it was of no avail, a sad expression mixed with frustration and pain appeared on his face.

Unsurprisingly, there was no response from the other party. Mo Yu lowered his head and continued to check the gaps on the floor.The long hair hung down softly from his shoulders, and the red hair slid across his fair face, and the corners of his lips seemed to twitch vaguely, with a cold smile.

The "click" sound of the rotating machine interrupted Mu Xuanying's thoughts. He looked at Mo Yu in surprise, and saw that the thick stone slab on the ground was upturned, revealing the stone ladder leading to the darkness below—— There is even a basement hidden under the room!

Mo Yu patted the dust on his hands, and walked down first.

The tunnel is gloomy and cold, with damp water vapor on the granite walls, the sound of water ticking in the darkness, gusts of wind, and a smell of corruption in the air.

Mu Xuanying followed Mo Yu. He took out the candle from the pumpkin lantern and lit the oil lamp in the basement.Under the light of the fire, what appeared in front of the two was a row of empty iron prisons. Each cell was separated by iron bars, with a layer of dry grass inside and scattered bones on top.

A large rusty lock hung on the prison door.

The light illuminated the dark corridor. In the depths of the corridor, there was a chair facing the prison. On the chair was a man dressed as a deacon, with his head bowed, as if he was in deep sleep.

"Is there someone here?" Mu Xuanying was pleasantly surprised, the young man's clear voice echoed in the empty underground prison.

"Maomao, be careful!" Mo Yu frowned, showing a guarded look instead.

The two stood in place for a while, the man opposite did not move at all, and now Mu Xuanying also noticed something strange.

Mo Yu and Mu Xuanying looked at each other and slowly approached each other.The moment the jack-o'-lantern was lifted up to illuminate the opponent's face, Mu Xuanying also saw his empty eye holes, pale face, and corpse spots spreading across his skin!

"——!!!"

She tried her best to suppress the screaming in her throat, suddenly Mu Xuanying's eyes went dark for a moment, and she finally regained consciousness.His fingers holding the jack-o-lantern trembled, his fingertips turned white, and his heart beat like a beating.

"It's a zombie." Mo Yu said coldly, his eyes paused for a moment on the joint of the neck and chin, which was stitched with silk thread, "He has been dead for a long time, and he was deliberately made into this form."

Mu Xuanying was silent for a moment: "Zombie...can it still move?"

"If you don't have enough ability, you can't." Mo Yu replied lightly.

Mu Xuanying's eyes drifted away and wandered around, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't speak.He accidentally found a scroll of parchment on the ground next to Deacon Zombie's chair, and he picked it up.

"The Judgment? Part [-]"

"Not guilty—

On xx, xx, xxxx, the body of the deceased was found in the bathtub at home.After the autopsy, the deceased died of drowning in the sea because his stomach was full of seawater.Since the time of death was not more than half an hour when the deceased was found, and it took two hours to drive a carriage from the nearest beach to return to the residence, it was really difficult to drown a person in the sea and bring him back to the deceased’s home within half an hour. Manpower is available, so the case has become a local unsolved case.

The man was the housekeeper of the deceased’s house, and neighbors testified that he was still watering flowers in the garden 5 minutes before the body was found, so it was impossible to commit murder, so he was ruled out of suspicion.”

Mo Yu noticed that although the prison facing the Deacon Zombie was chained, the lock was not fastened. He pushed open the prison door, walked in, and looked at a man dressed as a homeless man lying on the haystack. The zombie stayed on the body for a while, and then picked up a scroll from the side of the corpse.

"The Judgment? Part II"

"Guilty--

On xx, xx, xx, a banker was found dead in the central square of the town by the residents of the town. Due to the heavy rain the night before, the town was not paved with stone bricks, so the murderer's footprints around the body were very clear.The guards on patrol found that the mud prints extended all the way to the person who was sleeping soundly under the stone bridge, and checked the shoe print pattern. In the whole town, only the soles of his new shoes had this special pattern.After verification, the person was a poor homeless man, and the deceased was a respected local banker. It was speculated that the murderer was jealous of the deceased's wealth and status, and succeeded in a sneak attack in the middle of the night, killing the deceased.Now the brave and wise guards have arrested the murderer and put him in prison, waiting for the judge. "

"...I always feel that there is something wrong." Mu Xuanying was thoughtful.

"Huh?" Mo Yu raised her eyebrows.

"Mr. Butler, is he really innocent? And Mr. Tramp, is he really guilty?"

Mu Xuanying looked at the two zombies inside and outside the prison, and fell into thinking. If he wanted to overturn the verdicts of the two cases, how should he do it?
