you're done
Chapter 48
"Welcome all guests to Cupiditatem Castle." The butler's old voice sounded slowly: "Next, I will invite you to stay here for 30 days. In order to ensure the interest of the guests, the castle will provide you with new games every day."
Luo Shi frowned slightly, looked at Xueli, and asked in a low voice: "This pronunciation is so strange, I remember that my invitation letter says Frydog Castle, what about yours?"
The butler explained: "Yes, the master's surname is Frydaugh, but a long time ago, when the Frydaugh family was at its peak, the castle was named Cupiditatem."
The heyday was not named after the family, but a strange name was used instead?
Before Luo Shiwei understood the situation, Xueli's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "cupiditatem is Latin, and its interpretation means desire. This castle was most known as the Castle of Desire in its heyday."
Luo Shi turned his head in surprise, only to see that the young man's emerald eyes were so bright in the darkness.
Xueli chuckled at him, his eyebrows curved, with the innocence of a young man who doesn't know his worries, and he said: "Brother, listen, this name is so interesting."
"...Is it interesting?" Luo Shiwei had a bad feeling in his heart.
At this moment, someone shouted in a broken voice: "No, I have to leave. If I don't participate, I will leave now. Open the door and let me out!"
As he said, he stumbled and ran towards the corridor where he came.
There was an uproar at the scene.
"What happened?"
"I think he must know something inside!"
"Damn it, but the outside door won't open, there's no signal here, we're already trapped inside!"
Yes.
The scholar who wanted to run away was quickly brought back by two servants.
Luo Shiwei observed carefully, and saw the scholar limp on the ground, his eyes glazed over and motionless.
The old housekeeper smiled helplessly at him and explained: "Sir, I'm very sorry, the door will not be opened until you have lived for 30 days."
"What are you afraid of?" Seeing that the butler's attitude was not so fierce, Luo Shiwei took a tentative step forward and asked the scholars on the ground softly.
The scholar's lips trembled, and he slowly raised his head to look at Luo Shiwei, and the black hole's eyes seemed to be looking at this gorgeous and gloomy castle through Luo Shiwei.
"This is the Castle of Desire... It is said that the devil's land will open every hundred years!! It's over, we're all going to die here!" He grabbed his hair in pain and said, "No one can get out alive, nobody!"
how so!
The crowd became more and more turbulent, and it seemed that everyone was infected with his pessimistic and desperate mood. Some people kept trying to run out, and some people wanted to attack the housekeeper.
Only Luo Shiwei remained calm. He shook the scholar, trying to find some more information: "What else? Since there are rumors about this castle, it is impossible for no one to survive, you know some what?"
The scholar could no longer hear what he was saying, and kept hugging his head and muttering something in a low voice.
The entire banquet hall was in chaos.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded, piercing through the noisy crowd, but it was extraordinarily clear in the chaos.
"It seems right, we have indeed entered the legendary cupiditatem castle, which opens every hundred years, if your desire is strong enough, and your wish cannot be realized in reality, you have the opportunity to get an invitation letter here.
Therefore, as long as you are determined enough, you can realize your deepest desire here. "
Wish fulfillment, this bewitching statement made the scene suddenly quiet.
Luo Shiwei suddenly turned back to look at Xueli, the young man didn't seem to realize what incredible words he said, he even winked at him innocently, with a smile on his lips.
"Brother, I checked a lot of information at the beginning. Although I only had a little fantasy, I didn't expect to actually come to Cupiditatem Castle. Are you lucky?"
The boy said, and winked at him slyly.
The young man's smile was bright and sunny, but Luo Shiwei somehow felt a little cold.
...is this really the main character?
But if he is not the protagonist, is there anyone in this group who can afford the protagonist?
Luo Shiwei's eyes flickered slightly, but he couldn't find another outstanding person in the chaotic crowd.
But the crowd was in an uproar because of his words.
Someone boldly asked, "Really? Can you fulfill my wish?" His eyes were full of doubts.
"Yes, you do appear to have done a good deal of homework."
The butler took a deep look at Xueli, as if he was assessing his status, but he quickly looked away.
Standing on the high platform, he was still meticulous, and he didn't pay attention to this little chaos. The butler looked down at the crowd and said:
"In order to ensure everyone's freshness, we will start the first game today."
game?
It's a game of death!
Everyone's faces became increasingly difficult to look at.
The butler didn't seem to notice it, and he spoke slowly, with a serious tone: "A master I once served, he is the top artist. His oil paintings are still the treasures of the world, hidden in the most secret place of the royal family. In the treasure house, avoid the world from coveting.
If you can present my master's favorite things before tomorrow morning, you can get a huge reward in return. "
... What kind of strange proposition is this?
Everyone shook their heads one after another, looking at the old man with wary and repelling eyes.They don't even know who his master is, so how can they know what his favorite thing is?
Luo Shiwei subconsciously looked at Xueli next to him. As the protagonist of the world, Xueli is the person who knows the most about this castle, so he should know the answer.
But the strange thing is that Xueli, who knew everything just now, was unexpectedly silent, but the momentary change in his eyes made Luo Shiwei understand that he knew the inside story.
Something was wrong, it was weird.From the protagonist to the background, everything is full of discord, like a shocking conspiracy that has not yet revealed the tip of the iceberg.
So, what's wrong?
A trace of doubt flashed in Luo Zhiwei's mind, but before he could pursue it carefully, the earliest scholar interrupted his train of thought again.
"Hands..." The old voice was full of tremors, and every word seemed to be salvaged from extreme fear.
"He he he..." Taking a deep breath, the scholar tried his best to say a complete sentence, "His master's favorite thing is human hands."
"What?" Someone couldn't help but grabbed the scholar's collar, "What do you mean by loving hands?"
"That person..." The scholar spat out a name tremblingly, but he was forced to silence the moment he uttered the first word, as if this name was a taboo here.
But everyone no longer cares about the name, and is more eager to know the inside story.
It turned out that the owner of the butler was once the best artist in the royal family. Since he was 13 years old, his paintings are enough to represent the ultimate pursuit of beauty in the upper class.
Someone spent a lot of money just to get one of his discarded drawings.But this talented artist burned all his paintings when he was 20 years old, leaving only one.
"It's the hands, filled with countless hands. Beautiful or rough, regardless of gender or identity." In the words of scholars, every artist has his own muse, and this muse is hands, all kinds of Such hands, it seems that as long as he looks at these, his artistic inspiration can continue to explode.
"So you mean that the reward he wants is manpower?"
"Yes." The scholar's face turned pale, "If it's his favorite, it must be human hands."
There are only 30 people here, plus the dead man's butler, where to find such a gift, the way is already obvious, they are on each other.
The whole hall fell silent in an instant, and a needle could be heard.
Even those who tried to calm down, the expressions on their faces became serious.
In a society ruled by law, such a game sounds like a joke.What's more, the so-called reward, can he really realize the wish of the heart?Does he really know what they want?
Just kidding, don't wait for them to commit crimes, but this demon rewards some kind of human blood, cockroaches and the like!
The butler seemed to see through their thoughts.
He pointed to the popular star in the crowd and said: "If you can succeed, then you can get the leading actor in the movie "Dawn of Doom."
"You... how would you know!"
The male star was terrified. Only he and his agent knew about their attempt to compete for the "Dawn of Doom" movie, but they had just started thinking about it, and it faded away.Because before the audition day came, news came from the crew that the two-time Oscar winner was going to play the leading role.
With such news, who would dare to compete.
But... this is the best chance to win a prize, a real literary blockbuster...
And how do they know?
Stars feel fear, being seen through their minds, seeing through their previous fears, but a burning desire arises.
The butler turned his head slowly, and then said to the mistress of the president of the listed company: "You don't have to worry about whose seed the child in your arms is, he will definitely become your husband's seed."
The woman's face suddenly turned white and red.
She was pregnant, but she, a woman who was fully supported by a gold purse, cheated... It was a beautiful, enthusiastic, young but poor boy.
The president has a married wife, they have no relationship, let alone children, and he has at least fifteen mistresses outside.
And she was the only one who was pregnant.
But this is not happiness, not a bargaining chip to squeeze into high society, but... a spy of death.
But she can't abort this child yet, the president is already 45 years old, if she dares to abort, she will definitely be killed by the crazy president!
Now the devil butler said that he could turn this cheating child into the CEO's seed?
Desire gradually surged in the woman's eyes, and her eyes were already quietly looking at the hands of everyone present.
After that, the butler didn't speak, but just glanced silently at everyone present.
That gaze still maintained the butler's humility, with a faint smile, but it made everyone present shudder, feeling that they had been seen through from the beginning to the end, and they hid secrets deep in their hearts that could not be resorted to.
The commotion in the crowd became more and more intense.
Is it true that as long as you cut off other people's hands, you can get unspeakable wishes?
So... who has the most beautiful hands?
Of course, they are engaged in related work, such as stars, painters, pianists, etc... In an instant, in the darkness, some greedy eyes began to sweep around.
Luo Shi pulled Xueli behind him without any trace.
The young man leaned forward slightly in doubt, his chin resting on Luo Shiwei's shoulder, blinking his bright eyes, and asked softly, "Is brother protecting me?"
"Of course." Luo Shiwei bent his fingers and tapped his forehead, also lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "Idiot, you are of course the most vulnerable at such a young age, and you will follow me anytime, anywhere from now on. You are not allowed to run around casually, do you know?"
"it is good,"
The corner of the young man's lips curled up sweetly, and he clasped his fingers tightly, muttering softly: "Then I will also protect my brother well."
Luo Zhi turned his head slightly, but his light brown eyes slowly returned to calm, indifferent.
He regained the doubts he had just now, and naturally saw Xueli's strangeness.It's just acting, so let's slowly observe whether this little saccharine is the protagonist or the villain.As for that game...
Luo Shiwei fell into deep thought. He always felt that the way of interpreting this topic was not just a pattern.True demons don't give their prey a chance to escape.This world is much more interesting than he imagined.
Everyone was talking about it, but no one noticed their little episode.
When the commotion gradually subsided, the butler took off his hat in a standard way, "Of course, honorable guests, there are rewards and punishments. If you don't complete the task before twelve o'clock tomorrow night, then my master , will randomly select some punishments for you.”
Punishment... what kind of punishment?
Everyone raised their hearts.
But this time there was no response.
The butler saluted again and retreated, "You can choose to stay in any room in the castle. I wish you a happy night, sir and ladies."
"God bless!"
He retreated, and the shadow that shrouded everyone's hearts seemed to dissipate, and it seemed that there was an undercurrent surging in the depths, and once it broke out, it would be a huge disaster that could not be controlled.
Everyone was a little overwhelmed looking at the endless corridors and high stairs, as well as the delicious food on the table.
Back to the room?Or dine?
Luo Shiwei noticed that the pianist in the crowd had hurried through the corridor with his luggage, hiding in some guest room.
Or maybe the humble grocery store in the corner?
After all, his hands looked so beautiful.
"Brother, do we have to find a room quickly?"
Xueli stood beside him, her eyes were flickering, she looked very well-behaved, waiting for his instructions.
Luo Shiwei opened the dining chair, motioned him to sit down, and comforted him with a smile: "Xueli is not afraid, today is the first meal, he hasn't got the beautiful hand yet, so he won't poison us during the meal.
Eat, eat enough to have the strength to cope with all this. "
Seeing them sit down, several young people among the hesitant crowd soon sat down together and had dinner together.
Others were more cautious, either returning to the room with bread to eat, or not touching the food here in order to avoid being killed.
However, I have to say that everything in the castle is extremely luxurious, and the deliciousness of this welcome banquet is the best proof.
After eating delicious foie gras and drinking a glass of red wine, everyone's expressions softened slightly.
Luo Shiwei was still eating the pasta calmly.
An uncle on the opposite side suddenly raised his head and turned slightly around the figures of the pair of teenagers. With a smile on his face, he tentatively asked, "Are you guys here together?"
"No," Xueli spoke to him skillfully in an English accent, and replied without reservation: "My brother and I hit it off right away here, uncle, you can't join us if you want to join us."
Saying that, he hugged Luo Shiwei's arm possessively.
Luo Zhiwei tapped him on the head calmly, and reprimanded him, "Stop talking and eat your food."
"Oh." The young man puffed up his cheeks, like a wronged puffer fish, looking at Luo Shiwei with watery green eyes, seeing that he refused to coax him, he lowered his head to eat in frustration.
If there were ears, they would have drooped by this time.
The uncle on the opposite side asked again, but couldn't get half an answer.
The man smiled awkwardly, and lowered his head to eat, but while drinking, he quietly looked at the pair of young brothers who had been formed temporarily.
The "brother" has a vigilant face but is slender and thin. The younger brother is full of vigor but is innocent and easy to deceive. As long as the two brothers are not together, they can easily attack...
He lowered his eyes, hiding the greedy and vicious light.
Luo Shiwei quickly put down the fork.
Little Saccharine reluctantly delivered a piece of cod to his plate, and shared it enthusiastically: "Brother, try it, cod with red wine, it's delicious."
"Don't drink..."
When Luo Shi raised his head slightly, his voice stopped.
Under the light, the boy's snow-white cheeks were slightly red, and his emerald eyes twinkled, like a puppy waiting for praise, looking at him moistly.
Well, he's a little tipsy.
The corners of Luo Shiwei's mouth twitched slightly.
What kind of brat is this, and he started a side story by himself?
Don't keep it, kill it directly.
Xueli had already plunged into his arms, moaning, "Brother, I'm a little hot, I'm going to the bathroom..."
"I'll help you go." Luo Zhiwei, relying on his endurance to kill Yuangou, showed a gentle smile and helped him up.
He lovingly wiped the sweat from the young man's forehead, but his fingers trembled when he was burned. Such a flame-like texture and the sound of eager breathing are really unimaginable...
However, in the next second, a chill suddenly rushed up from his spine.
Something is wrong!After all, he is a Neptune, and Yan Gou would not fall on a kid.It's fine to tease the children at ordinary times, and if life and death are at stake, it's not right to let this kind of slow-down rely on yourself.
Looking back carefully, Luo Shiwei suddenly discovered that from the first second he and Xueli looked at each other, he was led away by the nose by this young man.
It's interesting, so if this Xueli is not the protagonist, then is he the villain?
When Luo Zhiwei helped him into the bathroom, he was still quietly observing his condition.
Xueli was like a koala, hanging her whole body on him, her short black hair shone with golden light under the light, and her furry head kept rubbing against Luo Shiwei's body.
"Come down, come down and wash your face."
Luo Shiwei tore the slimy ghost off helplessly.
"Ok."
Xueli grumbled reluctantly, propped one hand on the sink, and slowly turned on the faucet with the other hand.
The water rushed out frantically, splashing on the boy's cheeks and sportswear.
Luo Shiwei quickly turned off the faucet.
The boy's eyes widened innocently, as if he hadn't realized what happened.
The water flowed down the broken hair on his forehead, and the thick eyelashes even supported a drop of water, trembling slightly with his breathing, but still stubbornly did not fall, as pitiful as a teardrop people love.
Through the water drops, those beautiful eyes were soaked with clear and transparent green, like the emeralds just cut out from the gambling stone, green and dripping.
But the more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is.
Luo Shiwei calmed down, took out a tissue and wiped his face, "It seems that the age is too old, and the faucet needs to be repaired."
Xueli came back to her senses.
He wiped his cheeks, and the face that was finally full of smiles frowned rarely, and muttered: "This is really embarrassing and inelegant."
For the noble son of the Senks family, this kind of embarrassing experience may really be unprecedented.
He looked at Luo Zhiwei and said pitifully, "Brother, go to my suitcase and bring a new dress. I really can't go out to meet people like this."
"Okay. Then I'll go get your luggage, you wait for me here obediently, don't run around."
"I know." The boy's brows and eyes were curved, and he looked super obedient.
Luo Shiwei walked out of the bathroom quickly.
There is still some distance from the banquet hall, and there is a long corridor to walk through. When Luo Shiwei walked past, he keenly noticed a gaze behind him, secretly watching.
He rubbed the blade in his pocket nonchalantly, with a cold look in his eyes.
There are wolves in front and tigers in back.There is a Xueli who doesn't distinguish between enemy and friend in the bathroom, and now the one coming from behind is probably an ambusher with malicious intentions.
If you guessed right, it should be the uncle who asked about them at dinner. There is a difference in body size between him and the other party. If this is the case, you can only outsmart them.
Luo Shi slightly lowered his eyes and walked towards a corner.
He raised his vigilance and stared at the figure who was about to come.
however……
The other party did not follow.
why?
Luo Shiwei's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't look back, nor was he in a hurry to get Xueli's clothes. He dodged to a safe place, slowly let go of his emotions, and began to think about a problem.
The master of the castle needs a pair of hands.
This range is very wide, is it a living person?dead person's?Was it given voluntarily, or was it cut down by force?
"I guess he would want a pair of living hands, and they were cut off by his own kind." Luo Shiwei murmured, and suddenly proposed a bold proposal: "Then if, I give him a pair of hands that were voluntarily donated." , what will happen? Can his vicious game continue?"
The man was carefully staring at Luo Shiwei's figure, waiting for an unoccupied corner before attacking. Compared with his lively and energetic younger brother, this "brother" was obviously weaker and less able to resist...
Even though he has been on the run for many years, it is still too easy to kill a helpless little boy!
His body was stooped, the cutlery knife in his hand reflected a cold silver light, the man's eyes looked extremely vicious, with traces of greed.
"You want his hand?"
A light interrogative sentence sounded behind him. The fugitive was startled, and turned his head suddenly, but met a pure and harmless face.
The young man stood not far from him, and seemed to be still troubled by the water stains on his jacket. When he looked at him, his bright eyes were filled with pure doubts.
"You want to stop me? Or die for your brother!" The fugitive snorted disdainfully, but quietly clenched the cutlery knife in his hand, vigilant in his heart.
Being able to break through his good deeds, and still maintain absolute calm, is either really stupid to the extreme, or has something to rely on.
Thinking this way, he lowered his head and glanced at the boy's right hand hanging on one side.
Xueli seemed to have sensed his thoughts, the young man bent his lips, and told him understandingly: "I don't have a gun."
"Then why do you think you can stop me!"
The fugitive also confirmed that he had no place to hide his gun, and immediately felt relieved. He looked at the boy with contempt, and taunted, "With your noble young master's ability to ride horses? Or fencing?"
"Since you don't want to live anymore, then keep these hands and let me exchange for some benefits!"
He greedily looked at the young man's slender and beautiful hands.
The noble young master is still a bit good, these hands can definitely meet the butler's requirements for beauty.
What's more, the more beautiful something is, the more sadistic it is, he can't wait to slash his cheek with a knife, and see this little young master crying in terror...
His huge figure enveloped the young man in an instant.
"Bam—"
It was the sound of falling and hitting a pillar.
The pillars with clear lines supported the arch ribs high up. The man bumped into his body and rolled down twice. His head felt a sharp pain. He raised his head and looked at the vaulted ceiling with intertwined leaves, feeling dizzy for a while.
At this moment, Xueli had already walked over.
His sneakers lightly stepped on the fugitive's wrist, the man was dripping with cold sweat from the pain, his eyes widened, and he looked at the teenager looking down at him in horror.
"you you……"
How is it possible, he looks so slender, how did he do it!
Unbelievable!
"Shh, don't make noise, it's bad if he hears you."
Xueli still looks so innocent and harmless, his emerald green eyes are clear to the bottom, and his exquisite facial features are like dolls that have been carefully carved to accompany human beings. whispered:
"It was hard for me to lure him away, and I found a gap to deal with you."
"What do you want to do! Help—help—!" The fugitive realized that something was wrong and wanted to struggle frantically, but the next second his joints were taken off by the youth, not to mention struggling, he even called for help. are published.
"What do you want to do?"
Xueli tilted his head, as if he was also thinking about this tenderness, he seemed to recall something, his expression gradually turned cold, the beautiful young man merged with the darkness, like an evil spirit walking out of the dark night, his voice was gloomy:
"Because I hate other people touching my toys. Every time I encounter this situation, I can't control my desire to destroy."
"How should I punish you?"
Under the man's horrified gaze, the young man took the table knife from his hand flutteringly, muttered to himself in a low voice, but suddenly disappeared coldly, he smiled brightly, as if he had solved some problem, and said with a smile: "Yes Now, just let yourself experience this joy.”
What joy?
The fugitive's eyes widened, followed by a silent howl of pain.
He watched helplessly as he held the table knife with his fingers and slid towards his right wrist uncontrollably.
Blood splattered out, in stark contrast to the boy's snow-white skin.
Xueli's smile became more and more sweet and gentle, and the blue eyes could almost drown people in it, forgetting all the pain.
The fugitive's mind was in a vortex, he just stared at him obsessively, the corners of his lips raised, and there were even tears of regret in his eyes.
He has killed many people in his life and done endless bad things, and he has been bad to the extreme.But at this moment, in front of this young man who is as pure as a holy son, he is willing to peel off his ugly soul from his body, drain the rancid blood from his body, and finally sacrifice his sinful hands to come Plead for God's redemption.
In the scene of extreme cruelty, the young man's smile became more and more cheerful, and his eyes were bright as if he heard some touching singing.
The severe pain distorted the fugitive's face, but the way he looked at the young man was even more pious and crazy.
Soon, soon.
Freed from these sins, he can be reborn.
A distorted and fanatical expression slowly appeared on the fugitive's face.
But the boy suddenly showed a regretful expression and shook his head.
"No, no..." The fugitive shook his head hastily, wanting to deny it.There is only one step left to redemption, and he cannot give up all his previous efforts.
But the young man only said three words lightly, "You are not worthy."
The fugitive's eyes widened suddenly, and he lost his final consciousness amidst the extreme stimulation.
"Tsk!" The young man sighed in dismay. "It's a pity, I haven't thought of giving him a gift yet."
Mentioning "he", that guy, Xueli's expression showed deep disgust.
Xueli took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped the knife in the fugitive's hand, and threw it into the corridor further away.Looking at the blood all over the ground, he even took a step to the side carefully to avoid getting on his body.
Then the young man took out the tissue that Luo Shiwei had given him, wiped off the blood on his fingertips little by little, revealing his fair skin, and instantly became pure and harmless.
With a bright smile, he whispered a "shh" gesture to the air, and said: "It's not yet time, this matter is a secret between us, don't tell my brother, he is so simple, he will know it soon scared."
The atmosphere in the air suddenly became terrifying, and a strong and cold killing intent instantly filled it.Xueli's leisurely figure slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor, only the fugitive who was covered in blood was still lying in a pool of blood.
The moment before people heard the news and rushed here, all they saw was the tragic appearance of the fugitive.Fear also filled everyone's heart at this moment.
Under the control of desire, the invisible killing has quietly started.Each of them will be a prey in the eyes of others, and the hands on their wrists are the best tickets to deal with the devil.
"Xueli!"
Luo Zhiwei was also in the crowd, looking at the blood on the ground and the man with only a thin layer of skin on his wrist, he didn't need to ask what happened, and immediately went to the bathroom to find Xueli's whereabouts.
The next second, Xueli ran over from the corner in front and threw herself into his arms.
Luo Shi frowned slightly, looked at Xueli, and asked in a low voice: "This pronunciation is so strange, I remember that my invitation letter says Frydog Castle, what about yours?"
The butler explained: "Yes, the master's surname is Frydaugh, but a long time ago, when the Frydaugh family was at its peak, the castle was named Cupiditatem."
The heyday was not named after the family, but a strange name was used instead?
Before Luo Shiwei understood the situation, Xueli's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "cupiditatem is Latin, and its interpretation means desire. This castle was most known as the Castle of Desire in its heyday."
Luo Shi turned his head in surprise, only to see that the young man's emerald eyes were so bright in the darkness.
Xueli chuckled at him, his eyebrows curved, with the innocence of a young man who doesn't know his worries, and he said: "Brother, listen, this name is so interesting."
"...Is it interesting?" Luo Shiwei had a bad feeling in his heart.
At this moment, someone shouted in a broken voice: "No, I have to leave. If I don't participate, I will leave now. Open the door and let me out!"
As he said, he stumbled and ran towards the corridor where he came.
There was an uproar at the scene.
"What happened?"
"I think he must know something inside!"
"Damn it, but the outside door won't open, there's no signal here, we're already trapped inside!"
Yes.
The scholar who wanted to run away was quickly brought back by two servants.
Luo Shiwei observed carefully, and saw the scholar limp on the ground, his eyes glazed over and motionless.
The old housekeeper smiled helplessly at him and explained: "Sir, I'm very sorry, the door will not be opened until you have lived for 30 days."
"What are you afraid of?" Seeing that the butler's attitude was not so fierce, Luo Shiwei took a tentative step forward and asked the scholars on the ground softly.
The scholar's lips trembled, and he slowly raised his head to look at Luo Shiwei, and the black hole's eyes seemed to be looking at this gorgeous and gloomy castle through Luo Shiwei.
"This is the Castle of Desire... It is said that the devil's land will open every hundred years!! It's over, we're all going to die here!" He grabbed his hair in pain and said, "No one can get out alive, nobody!"
how so!
The crowd became more and more turbulent, and it seemed that everyone was infected with his pessimistic and desperate mood. Some people kept trying to run out, and some people wanted to attack the housekeeper.
Only Luo Shiwei remained calm. He shook the scholar, trying to find some more information: "What else? Since there are rumors about this castle, it is impossible for no one to survive, you know some what?"
The scholar could no longer hear what he was saying, and kept hugging his head and muttering something in a low voice.
The entire banquet hall was in chaos.
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly sounded, piercing through the noisy crowd, but it was extraordinarily clear in the chaos.
"It seems right, we have indeed entered the legendary cupiditatem castle, which opens every hundred years, if your desire is strong enough, and your wish cannot be realized in reality, you have the opportunity to get an invitation letter here.
Therefore, as long as you are determined enough, you can realize your deepest desire here. "
Wish fulfillment, this bewitching statement made the scene suddenly quiet.
Luo Shiwei suddenly turned back to look at Xueli, the young man didn't seem to realize what incredible words he said, he even winked at him innocently, with a smile on his lips.
"Brother, I checked a lot of information at the beginning. Although I only had a little fantasy, I didn't expect to actually come to Cupiditatem Castle. Are you lucky?"
The boy said, and winked at him slyly.
The young man's smile was bright and sunny, but Luo Shiwei somehow felt a little cold.
...is this really the main character?
But if he is not the protagonist, is there anyone in this group who can afford the protagonist?
Luo Shiwei's eyes flickered slightly, but he couldn't find another outstanding person in the chaotic crowd.
But the crowd was in an uproar because of his words.
Someone boldly asked, "Really? Can you fulfill my wish?" His eyes were full of doubts.
"Yes, you do appear to have done a good deal of homework."
The butler took a deep look at Xueli, as if he was assessing his status, but he quickly looked away.
Standing on the high platform, he was still meticulous, and he didn't pay attention to this little chaos. The butler looked down at the crowd and said:
"In order to ensure everyone's freshness, we will start the first game today."
game?
It's a game of death!
Everyone's faces became increasingly difficult to look at.
The butler didn't seem to notice it, and he spoke slowly, with a serious tone: "A master I once served, he is the top artist. His oil paintings are still the treasures of the world, hidden in the most secret place of the royal family. In the treasure house, avoid the world from coveting.
If you can present my master's favorite things before tomorrow morning, you can get a huge reward in return. "
... What kind of strange proposition is this?
Everyone shook their heads one after another, looking at the old man with wary and repelling eyes.They don't even know who his master is, so how can they know what his favorite thing is?
Luo Shiwei subconsciously looked at Xueli next to him. As the protagonist of the world, Xueli is the person who knows the most about this castle, so he should know the answer.
But the strange thing is that Xueli, who knew everything just now, was unexpectedly silent, but the momentary change in his eyes made Luo Shiwei understand that he knew the inside story.
Something was wrong, it was weird.From the protagonist to the background, everything is full of discord, like a shocking conspiracy that has not yet revealed the tip of the iceberg.
So, what's wrong?
A trace of doubt flashed in Luo Zhiwei's mind, but before he could pursue it carefully, the earliest scholar interrupted his train of thought again.
"Hands..." The old voice was full of tremors, and every word seemed to be salvaged from extreme fear.
"He he he..." Taking a deep breath, the scholar tried his best to say a complete sentence, "His master's favorite thing is human hands."
"What?" Someone couldn't help but grabbed the scholar's collar, "What do you mean by loving hands?"
"That person..." The scholar spat out a name tremblingly, but he was forced to silence the moment he uttered the first word, as if this name was a taboo here.
But everyone no longer cares about the name, and is more eager to know the inside story.
It turned out that the owner of the butler was once the best artist in the royal family. Since he was 13 years old, his paintings are enough to represent the ultimate pursuit of beauty in the upper class.
Someone spent a lot of money just to get one of his discarded drawings.But this talented artist burned all his paintings when he was 20 years old, leaving only one.
"It's the hands, filled with countless hands. Beautiful or rough, regardless of gender or identity." In the words of scholars, every artist has his own muse, and this muse is hands, all kinds of Such hands, it seems that as long as he looks at these, his artistic inspiration can continue to explode.
"So you mean that the reward he wants is manpower?"
"Yes." The scholar's face turned pale, "If it's his favorite, it must be human hands."
There are only 30 people here, plus the dead man's butler, where to find such a gift, the way is already obvious, they are on each other.
The whole hall fell silent in an instant, and a needle could be heard.
Even those who tried to calm down, the expressions on their faces became serious.
In a society ruled by law, such a game sounds like a joke.What's more, the so-called reward, can he really realize the wish of the heart?Does he really know what they want?
Just kidding, don't wait for them to commit crimes, but this demon rewards some kind of human blood, cockroaches and the like!
The butler seemed to see through their thoughts.
He pointed to the popular star in the crowd and said: "If you can succeed, then you can get the leading actor in the movie "Dawn of Doom."
"You... how would you know!"
The male star was terrified. Only he and his agent knew about their attempt to compete for the "Dawn of Doom" movie, but they had just started thinking about it, and it faded away.Because before the audition day came, news came from the crew that the two-time Oscar winner was going to play the leading role.
With such news, who would dare to compete.
But... this is the best chance to win a prize, a real literary blockbuster...
And how do they know?
Stars feel fear, being seen through their minds, seeing through their previous fears, but a burning desire arises.
The butler turned his head slowly, and then said to the mistress of the president of the listed company: "You don't have to worry about whose seed the child in your arms is, he will definitely become your husband's seed."
The woman's face suddenly turned white and red.
She was pregnant, but she, a woman who was fully supported by a gold purse, cheated... It was a beautiful, enthusiastic, young but poor boy.
The president has a married wife, they have no relationship, let alone children, and he has at least fifteen mistresses outside.
And she was the only one who was pregnant.
But this is not happiness, not a bargaining chip to squeeze into high society, but... a spy of death.
But she can't abort this child yet, the president is already 45 years old, if she dares to abort, she will definitely be killed by the crazy president!
Now the devil butler said that he could turn this cheating child into the CEO's seed?
Desire gradually surged in the woman's eyes, and her eyes were already quietly looking at the hands of everyone present.
After that, the butler didn't speak, but just glanced silently at everyone present.
That gaze still maintained the butler's humility, with a faint smile, but it made everyone present shudder, feeling that they had been seen through from the beginning to the end, and they hid secrets deep in their hearts that could not be resorted to.
The commotion in the crowd became more and more intense.
Is it true that as long as you cut off other people's hands, you can get unspeakable wishes?
So... who has the most beautiful hands?
Of course, they are engaged in related work, such as stars, painters, pianists, etc... In an instant, in the darkness, some greedy eyes began to sweep around.
Luo Shi pulled Xueli behind him without any trace.
The young man leaned forward slightly in doubt, his chin resting on Luo Shiwei's shoulder, blinking his bright eyes, and asked softly, "Is brother protecting me?"
"Of course." Luo Shiwei bent his fingers and tapped his forehead, also lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "Idiot, you are of course the most vulnerable at such a young age, and you will follow me anytime, anywhere from now on. You are not allowed to run around casually, do you know?"
"it is good,"
The corner of the young man's lips curled up sweetly, and he clasped his fingers tightly, muttering softly: "Then I will also protect my brother well."
Luo Zhi turned his head slightly, but his light brown eyes slowly returned to calm, indifferent.
He regained the doubts he had just now, and naturally saw Xueli's strangeness.It's just acting, so let's slowly observe whether this little saccharine is the protagonist or the villain.As for that game...
Luo Shiwei fell into deep thought. He always felt that the way of interpreting this topic was not just a pattern.True demons don't give their prey a chance to escape.This world is much more interesting than he imagined.
Everyone was talking about it, but no one noticed their little episode.
When the commotion gradually subsided, the butler took off his hat in a standard way, "Of course, honorable guests, there are rewards and punishments. If you don't complete the task before twelve o'clock tomorrow night, then my master , will randomly select some punishments for you.”
Punishment... what kind of punishment?
Everyone raised their hearts.
But this time there was no response.
The butler saluted again and retreated, "You can choose to stay in any room in the castle. I wish you a happy night, sir and ladies."
"God bless!"
He retreated, and the shadow that shrouded everyone's hearts seemed to dissipate, and it seemed that there was an undercurrent surging in the depths, and once it broke out, it would be a huge disaster that could not be controlled.
Everyone was a little overwhelmed looking at the endless corridors and high stairs, as well as the delicious food on the table.
Back to the room?Or dine?
Luo Shiwei noticed that the pianist in the crowd had hurried through the corridor with his luggage, hiding in some guest room.
Or maybe the humble grocery store in the corner?
After all, his hands looked so beautiful.
"Brother, do we have to find a room quickly?"
Xueli stood beside him, her eyes were flickering, she looked very well-behaved, waiting for his instructions.
Luo Shiwei opened the dining chair, motioned him to sit down, and comforted him with a smile: "Xueli is not afraid, today is the first meal, he hasn't got the beautiful hand yet, so he won't poison us during the meal.
Eat, eat enough to have the strength to cope with all this. "
Seeing them sit down, several young people among the hesitant crowd soon sat down together and had dinner together.
Others were more cautious, either returning to the room with bread to eat, or not touching the food here in order to avoid being killed.
However, I have to say that everything in the castle is extremely luxurious, and the deliciousness of this welcome banquet is the best proof.
After eating delicious foie gras and drinking a glass of red wine, everyone's expressions softened slightly.
Luo Shiwei was still eating the pasta calmly.
An uncle on the opposite side suddenly raised his head and turned slightly around the figures of the pair of teenagers. With a smile on his face, he tentatively asked, "Are you guys here together?"
"No," Xueli spoke to him skillfully in an English accent, and replied without reservation: "My brother and I hit it off right away here, uncle, you can't join us if you want to join us."
Saying that, he hugged Luo Shiwei's arm possessively.
Luo Zhiwei tapped him on the head calmly, and reprimanded him, "Stop talking and eat your food."
"Oh." The young man puffed up his cheeks, like a wronged puffer fish, looking at Luo Shiwei with watery green eyes, seeing that he refused to coax him, he lowered his head to eat in frustration.
If there were ears, they would have drooped by this time.
The uncle on the opposite side asked again, but couldn't get half an answer.
The man smiled awkwardly, and lowered his head to eat, but while drinking, he quietly looked at the pair of young brothers who had been formed temporarily.
The "brother" has a vigilant face but is slender and thin. The younger brother is full of vigor but is innocent and easy to deceive. As long as the two brothers are not together, they can easily attack...
He lowered his eyes, hiding the greedy and vicious light.
Luo Shiwei quickly put down the fork.
Little Saccharine reluctantly delivered a piece of cod to his plate, and shared it enthusiastically: "Brother, try it, cod with red wine, it's delicious."
"Don't drink..."
When Luo Shi raised his head slightly, his voice stopped.
Under the light, the boy's snow-white cheeks were slightly red, and his emerald eyes twinkled, like a puppy waiting for praise, looking at him moistly.
Well, he's a little tipsy.
The corners of Luo Shiwei's mouth twitched slightly.
What kind of brat is this, and he started a side story by himself?
Don't keep it, kill it directly.
Xueli had already plunged into his arms, moaning, "Brother, I'm a little hot, I'm going to the bathroom..."
"I'll help you go." Luo Zhiwei, relying on his endurance to kill Yuangou, showed a gentle smile and helped him up.
He lovingly wiped the sweat from the young man's forehead, but his fingers trembled when he was burned. Such a flame-like texture and the sound of eager breathing are really unimaginable...
However, in the next second, a chill suddenly rushed up from his spine.
Something is wrong!After all, he is a Neptune, and Yan Gou would not fall on a kid.It's fine to tease the children at ordinary times, and if life and death are at stake, it's not right to let this kind of slow-down rely on yourself.
Looking back carefully, Luo Shiwei suddenly discovered that from the first second he and Xueli looked at each other, he was led away by the nose by this young man.
It's interesting, so if this Xueli is not the protagonist, then is he the villain?
When Luo Zhiwei helped him into the bathroom, he was still quietly observing his condition.
Xueli was like a koala, hanging her whole body on him, her short black hair shone with golden light under the light, and her furry head kept rubbing against Luo Shiwei's body.
"Come down, come down and wash your face."
Luo Shiwei tore the slimy ghost off helplessly.
"Ok."
Xueli grumbled reluctantly, propped one hand on the sink, and slowly turned on the faucet with the other hand.
The water rushed out frantically, splashing on the boy's cheeks and sportswear.
Luo Shiwei quickly turned off the faucet.
The boy's eyes widened innocently, as if he hadn't realized what happened.
The water flowed down the broken hair on his forehead, and the thick eyelashes even supported a drop of water, trembling slightly with his breathing, but still stubbornly did not fall, as pitiful as a teardrop people love.
Through the water drops, those beautiful eyes were soaked with clear and transparent green, like the emeralds just cut out from the gambling stone, green and dripping.
But the more beautiful it is, the more dangerous it is.
Luo Shiwei calmed down, took out a tissue and wiped his face, "It seems that the age is too old, and the faucet needs to be repaired."
Xueli came back to her senses.
He wiped his cheeks, and the face that was finally full of smiles frowned rarely, and muttered: "This is really embarrassing and inelegant."
For the noble son of the Senks family, this kind of embarrassing experience may really be unprecedented.
He looked at Luo Zhiwei and said pitifully, "Brother, go to my suitcase and bring a new dress. I really can't go out to meet people like this."
"Okay. Then I'll go get your luggage, you wait for me here obediently, don't run around."
"I know." The boy's brows and eyes were curved, and he looked super obedient.
Luo Shiwei walked out of the bathroom quickly.
There is still some distance from the banquet hall, and there is a long corridor to walk through. When Luo Shiwei walked past, he keenly noticed a gaze behind him, secretly watching.
He rubbed the blade in his pocket nonchalantly, with a cold look in his eyes.
There are wolves in front and tigers in back.There is a Xueli who doesn't distinguish between enemy and friend in the bathroom, and now the one coming from behind is probably an ambusher with malicious intentions.
If you guessed right, it should be the uncle who asked about them at dinner. There is a difference in body size between him and the other party. If this is the case, you can only outsmart them.
Luo Shi slightly lowered his eyes and walked towards a corner.
He raised his vigilance and stared at the figure who was about to come.
however……
The other party did not follow.
why?
Luo Shiwei's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't look back, nor was he in a hurry to get Xueli's clothes. He dodged to a safe place, slowly let go of his emotions, and began to think about a problem.
The master of the castle needs a pair of hands.
This range is very wide, is it a living person?dead person's?Was it given voluntarily, or was it cut down by force?
"I guess he would want a pair of living hands, and they were cut off by his own kind." Luo Shiwei murmured, and suddenly proposed a bold proposal: "Then if, I give him a pair of hands that were voluntarily donated." , what will happen? Can his vicious game continue?"
The man was carefully staring at Luo Shiwei's figure, waiting for an unoccupied corner before attacking. Compared with his lively and energetic younger brother, this "brother" was obviously weaker and less able to resist...
Even though he has been on the run for many years, it is still too easy to kill a helpless little boy!
His body was stooped, the cutlery knife in his hand reflected a cold silver light, the man's eyes looked extremely vicious, with traces of greed.
"You want his hand?"
A light interrogative sentence sounded behind him. The fugitive was startled, and turned his head suddenly, but met a pure and harmless face.
The young man stood not far from him, and seemed to be still troubled by the water stains on his jacket. When he looked at him, his bright eyes were filled with pure doubts.
"You want to stop me? Or die for your brother!" The fugitive snorted disdainfully, but quietly clenched the cutlery knife in his hand, vigilant in his heart.
Being able to break through his good deeds, and still maintain absolute calm, is either really stupid to the extreme, or has something to rely on.
Thinking this way, he lowered his head and glanced at the boy's right hand hanging on one side.
Xueli seemed to have sensed his thoughts, the young man bent his lips, and told him understandingly: "I don't have a gun."
"Then why do you think you can stop me!"
The fugitive also confirmed that he had no place to hide his gun, and immediately felt relieved. He looked at the boy with contempt, and taunted, "With your noble young master's ability to ride horses? Or fencing?"
"Since you don't want to live anymore, then keep these hands and let me exchange for some benefits!"
He greedily looked at the young man's slender and beautiful hands.
The noble young master is still a bit good, these hands can definitely meet the butler's requirements for beauty.
What's more, the more beautiful something is, the more sadistic it is, he can't wait to slash his cheek with a knife, and see this little young master crying in terror...
His huge figure enveloped the young man in an instant.
"Bam—"
It was the sound of falling and hitting a pillar.
The pillars with clear lines supported the arch ribs high up. The man bumped into his body and rolled down twice. His head felt a sharp pain. He raised his head and looked at the vaulted ceiling with intertwined leaves, feeling dizzy for a while.
At this moment, Xueli had already walked over.
His sneakers lightly stepped on the fugitive's wrist, the man was dripping with cold sweat from the pain, his eyes widened, and he looked at the teenager looking down at him in horror.
"you you……"
How is it possible, he looks so slender, how did he do it!
Unbelievable!
"Shh, don't make noise, it's bad if he hears you."
Xueli still looks so innocent and harmless, his emerald green eyes are clear to the bottom, and his exquisite facial features are like dolls that have been carefully carved to accompany human beings. whispered:
"It was hard for me to lure him away, and I found a gap to deal with you."
"What do you want to do! Help—help—!" The fugitive realized that something was wrong and wanted to struggle frantically, but the next second his joints were taken off by the youth, not to mention struggling, he even called for help. are published.
"What do you want to do?"
Xueli tilted his head, as if he was also thinking about this tenderness, he seemed to recall something, his expression gradually turned cold, the beautiful young man merged with the darkness, like an evil spirit walking out of the dark night, his voice was gloomy:
"Because I hate other people touching my toys. Every time I encounter this situation, I can't control my desire to destroy."
"How should I punish you?"
Under the man's horrified gaze, the young man took the table knife from his hand flutteringly, muttered to himself in a low voice, but suddenly disappeared coldly, he smiled brightly, as if he had solved some problem, and said with a smile: "Yes Now, just let yourself experience this joy.”
What joy?
The fugitive's eyes widened, followed by a silent howl of pain.
He watched helplessly as he held the table knife with his fingers and slid towards his right wrist uncontrollably.
Blood splattered out, in stark contrast to the boy's snow-white skin.
Xueli's smile became more and more sweet and gentle, and the blue eyes could almost drown people in it, forgetting all the pain.
The fugitive's mind was in a vortex, he just stared at him obsessively, the corners of his lips raised, and there were even tears of regret in his eyes.
He has killed many people in his life and done endless bad things, and he has been bad to the extreme.But at this moment, in front of this young man who is as pure as a holy son, he is willing to peel off his ugly soul from his body, drain the rancid blood from his body, and finally sacrifice his sinful hands to come Plead for God's redemption.
In the scene of extreme cruelty, the young man's smile became more and more cheerful, and his eyes were bright as if he heard some touching singing.
The severe pain distorted the fugitive's face, but the way he looked at the young man was even more pious and crazy.
Soon, soon.
Freed from these sins, he can be reborn.
A distorted and fanatical expression slowly appeared on the fugitive's face.
But the boy suddenly showed a regretful expression and shook his head.
"No, no..." The fugitive shook his head hastily, wanting to deny it.There is only one step left to redemption, and he cannot give up all his previous efforts.
But the young man only said three words lightly, "You are not worthy."
The fugitive's eyes widened suddenly, and he lost his final consciousness amidst the extreme stimulation.
"Tsk!" The young man sighed in dismay. "It's a pity, I haven't thought of giving him a gift yet."
Mentioning "he", that guy, Xueli's expression showed deep disgust.
Xueli took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wrapped the knife in the fugitive's hand, and threw it into the corridor further away.Looking at the blood all over the ground, he even took a step to the side carefully to avoid getting on his body.
Then the young man took out the tissue that Luo Shiwei had given him, wiped off the blood on his fingertips little by little, revealing his fair skin, and instantly became pure and harmless.
With a bright smile, he whispered a "shh" gesture to the air, and said: "It's not yet time, this matter is a secret between us, don't tell my brother, he is so simple, he will know it soon scared."
The atmosphere in the air suddenly became terrifying, and a strong and cold killing intent instantly filled it.Xueli's leisurely figure slowly disappeared at the end of the corridor, only the fugitive who was covered in blood was still lying in a pool of blood.
The moment before people heard the news and rushed here, all they saw was the tragic appearance of the fugitive.Fear also filled everyone's heart at this moment.
Under the control of desire, the invisible killing has quietly started.Each of them will be a prey in the eyes of others, and the hands on their wrists are the best tickets to deal with the devil.
"Xueli!"
Luo Zhiwei was also in the crowd, looking at the blood on the ground and the man with only a thin layer of skin on his wrist, he didn't need to ask what happened, and immediately went to the bathroom to find Xueli's whereabouts.
The next second, Xueli ran over from the corner in front and threw herself into his arms.
