According to the task assigned by the NPC, Ning Zishan, who found the rabbit doll, has already completed half of it, and the remaining half just needs to be careful and wait until dawn.

Although this mission seems difficult, whether it is the reduced mission props, the encouragement to kill each other, the different monster traps in the room, or the hunters wandering in the castle (the three dead Yuwen Guoan), it will give people a feeling. Tension and oppression, but if you calm down and think about it carefully, you will find that among so many crises, only the first one is really urgent, unless you are really incapacitated and blocked in public areas like Wei Hehua, the rest Crises can basically be avoided by constantly traveling through the room.

Since there are rules to follow, the level of danger will drop a lot, but Ning Zishan still feels very uneasy, whether it is the mysterious blueprints he found in the study, or the endless bones in the garden, it seems to imply that There is another deep meaning behind the ancient castle.

Is it really just to increase the difficulty of the game that you can travel to different parts of the castle every time you open the door?Ning Zishan felt that it might not be the case.

And Meng Shi...

This was the last question Ning Zishan wanted to think about after entering this dungeon.

No matter what, it is always good to plan ahead. Now there is still some time before dawn, Ning Zishan feels that he should continue to explore in the castle, maybe he can get unexpected clues.

Guest room, guest room, guest room, corridor, garden, guest room... Ning Zishan opened more than a dozen doors in a row, and the doors without exception were either rooms with no clues or places he had been to. Any danger, this made Ning Zishan suddenly feel like he was the only one left in the entire castle, and even those dangerous monsters disappeared without a trace.

The known dangers are far less terrifying than the loneliness of being abandoned. That kind of fear is like a mulberry leaf being eaten away, making rustling noises in his ears, as if telling him that he has been trapped unconsciously. In a strange ring, I can no longer get out.

This kind of thought is like weeds after the rain. Once a head pops up, it will grow wildly and quickly occupy his brain. Fingertips are trembling.

Ning Zishan withdrew his hand and clenched it tightly into a fist, then slapped his forehead twice with his palm, and said silently: "It's all an illusion, it's all an illusion, don't think about it..."

After forcibly suppressing those churning negative emotions, Ning Zishan took two deep breaths and opened the door again.

Fortunately, this time he finally appeared in a strange place.

This is outdoors, and the silver-white moonlight gives a panoramic view of this flat circular space.

After Ning Zishan walked around, he found that this place was actually the top of one of the towers, and there was an open secret door behind him.

Because he and Meng Shi went to the third floor of the tower on the right during the day, there was no passage to the top of the tower, so Ning Zishan guessed that this should be the tower where the NPCs on the left lived.

There is a "concave"-shaped towering wall on the top of the tower. Right in front of Ning Zishan, there are three side-by-side brick bungalows built at the base of the wall. Because the wall is so high, people can't see there are other buildings on it in the garden. .

Every room was brightly or darkly lit. Ning Zishan wasn't sure if there was any danger in these rooms, so he tried to walk lightly and walked to the far right first, which was the room with the dimmest light.

From the outside, the light in the room is almost negligible under the bright moonlight, only a hazy layer, like the cloudy eyes of an old man who is dying.

After approaching the window, Ning Zishan poked out half of his head carefully to look into the room. It was a small room similar to a utility room. There was no one in the room, it was very simple, with almost no furniture decoration, only a small wooden table, All the light in the room comes from a single candle on this wooden table, which is why it is so dim.

In the invisible shadows under the table, Ning Zishan saw that there seemed to be one, maybe several... children?

It can't be blamed that Ning Zishan's description is too ambiguous, but those "children" who are half in the shadows on the ground, if it is one, Ning Zishan saw more than a pair of slender hands and feet, say several, those The positions of the hands and feet are a bit too scattered, it's like... being dismembered!

Ning Zishan was frightened by the thought that popped up in his head. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go into the hut to have a look.

Maybe this is the forbidden room in Bluebeard Castle that cannot be opened, Ning Zishan thought to himself mockingly when he opened the door, it's a pity that there will be no "brother" to save this "blood-stained" self.

The room was very dry, and the temperature seemed to be higher than outside. There was a smell like varnish and dry wood in the air, which surprised Ning Zishan.

After he approached the severed limbs, he realized that they were not real limbs, but some wood carvings. Apart from the limbs, there were also some torsos scattered on the ground.

Ning Zishan suddenly thought of the drawings of mannequins he had seen in his study, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded by his fuss.

Carefully bypassing the models on the ground, just as Ning Zishan was about to reach for the candle to look around the room, he suddenly kicked a heavy object under his feet.

The thing seemed to be spherical, with a hard surface, and after being kicked by him, it rolled into the bottom of the table.

Ning Zishan picked up the candle, bent down to look under the table, and suddenly met a pair of big clear blue eyes!

"Damn it!" Ning Zishan was taken aback and almost threw the candle in his hand.

But soon Ning Zishan calmed down, he found that the head was also made of wood, and there was more than one such head under the table.

So he picked up those heads one by one from under the table and put them on the table.

There are six heads in total, all of them have golden curly hair and blue eyes. Although they are made of wood, they are still lifelike under the dim light, and all of them have the same face as Angela. , but compared to Angela, who is as perfect and lovely as an angel, these randomly discarded heads have some flaws, some are foreheads, some are ears, and some are the end of eyes.

Because Ning Zishan had suspected that Angela might not be human before, so he was not too surprised to see this situation now.

It's just that he doesn't quite understand who created so many Angelas. That person persistently created one "Angela" after another, and finally got the perfect "Angela" that looks like a living person. So just throw away all the previous blemishes in this humble hut?

Ning Zishan looked at the table and scratched his head, maybe he could find the answer in the other two rooms, so he exited the room and walked to the middle room.

As before, in order to avoid danger, Ning Zishan looked in through the window as usual. This room is larger than the one on the right, and the lights are much brighter. What surprised him even more was the Angela doll - a room full of maids!

They have different hair colors, different appearances, and different heights, but they all stand in the room crowded together in the same stiff posture, as if they are not breathing or moving, and their eyes are slack, just like a room full of people. Plastic mannequins.

Ning Zishan suddenly thought of Yuwen Guoan in a maid outfit, and a chill rose from his back, and his hair swept back and forth like strands of hair.

Something flashed through his mind, and before Ning Zishan had time to think about it, he suddenly heard a faint voice coming from the leftmost room.

Is there anyone in that room? !

Ning Zishan tiptoed to the third room, carefully looked in through the window, so Ning Zishan saw the burly maid.

She was standing by a metal table similar to an operating table, facing the window sideways, holding a needle and thread in her hand, as if she was sewing something meticulously, and behind her, Ning Zishan saw half of her face and Bao Haolong, with one arm wrapped in thorns, stood behind the maid with his eyes closed, like a loyal guard.

In order to see the situation on the metal stage clearly, Ning Zishan had to raise his head a little at the risk of being discovered. This time he finally saw that lying on the metal stage was the body of Zhong Linglin in a maid outfit, because Before she died, Master Tian cut off her neck, so now the strong maid is sewing her wound up with a needle and thread.

Ning Zishan suddenly felt that maybe this strong maid was the only living person in the entire castle. She created the perfect Angela and transformed the corpse of the player who died in the castle into a movable maid.

But in this case, there is another problem, that is, what standard is used to distinguish players who are buried in the garden as fertilizer and players who are made into maids?Is it just to see the mood of this NPC?

"Dad..." Suddenly, a dry voice sounded like a machine that hadn't been oiled for a long time came from the room.

The strong maid kept on sewing, and looked up at her left front, with a gentle smile on her face: "Don't worry, Angela, it's almost finished... The lord promised me that if I can If he is satisfied, mom will come back, and then our family of three will be together forever, don't you miss mom?"

"WTF?" Ning Zishan was startled by the sudden revelation of the truth, but after thinking about it, such a burly figure and rough voice clearly had a sense of disharmony with the maid, but why was no one there before? Have you raised an objection?And Angela actually called him daddy!And what about the mother who didn't come back?Are they the family of three in the oil painting in the lobby?But this "father" is too far from the handsome image in the painting...

Just when Ning Zishan's thoughts were getting more and more distracted, Ning Zishan heard Angela's dry voice again: "Dad..."

"Okay, okay, I understand." The burly maid responded, cutting off the thread on Zhong Linglin's body with scissors, and said calmly: "This time, let's try the new maid. Bar."

As soon as the words fell, the strong maid turned her head suddenly, and looked straight at Ning Zishan with a sharp look of "I knew you were peeking there". At the same time, Bao Haolong and Zhong Linglin, who had their eyes closed, also stared Opening his eyes, two pairs of empty eyes fell on Ning Zishan at the same time.

Especially Bao Haolong, when he opened his eyes, the thorns wrapped around his body began to twist around his arms as if they were alive.

An ominous premonition hit his heart, Ning Zishan made a decisive decision, turned his head and ran away.

Not long after running, Ning Zishan heard two different footsteps coming from behind.

Ning Zishan ran all the way to the secret door of the tower, and saw a nail ladder fixed down on the wall.

Ning Zishan didn't dare to turn his head back, and started to climb down the stairs while holding onto the ladder with both hands and feet. Bao Haolong and Zhong Linglin had already chased to the secret door after climbing down two steps.

But they were not in a hurry to get down from the ladder, but looked down at Ning Zishan, except for the black stitches on his neck and the thorns wrapped around his body, the two expressionless faces were almost the same as those of a living person.

However, Ning Zishan no longer had the time to find out what method the strong maid had used to bring the dead back to life. Just when he was halfway up the climb, a rustling sound suddenly sounded in the darkness.

Soon Ning Zishan found something crawling towards him along the nailed ladder.

Ning Zishan's first reaction was that the thorns on Bao Haolong's body were chasing him, no wonder the two of them were not in a hurry standing outside the secret door.

Ning Zishan turned his head and looked down at his feet. Fortunately, he had already climbed halfway and was less than two meters away from the ground. It should be no problem to jump from here.

The moment he let go and jumped off the nailed ladder, two sharp thorns and vines stabbed out from the darkness. If Ning Zishan was even half a second slower, they might be pierced by the same one.

Ning Zishan touched his chest in fear, shook his feet that were sore when he fell to the ground, raised his hand and gave the middle finger to the top of his head, then ran into the corridor on the third floor and opened a door at random , got in.

This is a bedroom like a princess room, with rose-patterned carpets, beige walls, pink bed curtains and a large carved bed, a gorgeous dressing table and wardrobe, and a huge crystal chandelier exuding a devastating brilliance. On the table, Flowers are placed everywhere beside the bed and on the window sill, and even the air is full of refreshing floral fragrance.

This girlish-style room is clearly Angela's.

And Ning Zishan had an intuition that there was a very high possibility that there was a rabbit doll hidden here.

But he already had a rabbit on him, so instead of rushing to explore the room, he sat down on a chair and began to think about a problem he had just ignored, which is the strong maid... Maybe he should be called The owner of the castle.

Who is "that lord" in the mouth of the owner of the castle?

Ning Zishan clearly remembered that the owner of the castle said just now: If he can satisfy that adult, mother will come back.

Leaving aside this "mother" for now, the owner of the castle obviously made a deal with a very powerful guy. He wants to satisfy him, but how can he satisfy him?

Ning Zishan thought about it and thought that it should be only the game they are playing now.

So who is this guy who can fulfill the wish of the castle owner?

Ning Zishan sighed with a headache. Although he already knew some secrets about this ancient castle, when he knew the secrets, more questions followed. At this time, Ning Zishan I miss Ke Xu very much, it seems that as long as he is there every time, all problems can be solved easily.

Thinking of Ke Xu, Ning Zishan couldn't help but think of when they met in the first dungeon, although Ke Xu at that time had his nostrils up all day long, looking like everyone was trash, but without him, I'm afraid I died in the mouth of the devil a long time ago. Although I didn't feel any special feeling at the time, but now I think it's very sweet when I think about it...

wait, devil...

Ning Zishan remembered that in the first dungeon, someone had made a deal with the devil, so could it be that the person who made the deal with the owner of the castle in this dungeon was also a demon?

That's why the owner of the castle has the ability to resurrect corpses and puppets and control them.

Coupled with the strange summoning formations found in the study, the more Ning Zishan thought about it, the more likely it was.

Then, according to the demands of the demons in the first dungeon, this time I am afraid that they still hope that all players like them will be wiped out in the game!

But Ning Zishan thought about it, and felt that this idea was a bit unreasonable. If the purpose of the castle owner was to kill all the players, or to let the players kill each other, a more direct method could be used. Why use such an obvious method? What about a way that is superfluous and not easy to control?

Just when Ning Zishan turned himself back to the dead end, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and then a tall and thin figure appeared in the room.

Ning Zishan took a closer look, and it was actually Young Master Tian who came!

This is really... Should I say that I am unlucky?

As soon as he saw other people in the room, Young Master Tian was also taken aback for a moment, but soon he laughed, twirled the table knife in his hand around his fingertips, and then gave Ning Zishan a nod Chin: "Give me the stuffed bunny you're wearing."

Ning Zishan stood up vigilantly: "I don't have a doll."

Tian Shao suppressed his smile and looked at Ning Zishan coldly: "Do you think I will believe you?"

Ning Zishan was thinking about where he should run if Young Master Tian attacked him, while pretending to be calm, he said, "Believe it or not, I do not have a rabbit doll."

Young Master Tian babbled impatiently, took two steps closer to Ning Zishan, squinted his eyes and looked at him: "You have such a cute face, why do you always lie?"

Ning Zishan frowned slightly, and asked back: "You are the one, why did you insist that I found the rabbit doll?"

Tian Shao said: "Intuition."

Ning Zishan: "..." Mad dog's intuition?

Ning Zishan sighed, and stepped back: "Although I found the doll, I think there must be a doll hidden in this room. I can help you find it together. If you find it, it will be yours. What do you think?"

After thinking for a while, Young Master Tian nodded and said, "Yes."

At this moment, the door of the room opened again, and another tall figure appeared in the room.

When he saw who was coming, Ning Zishan couldn't help but touch his forehead, what was going on tonight, either they didn't meet anyone, or they all got together and bumped into each other.

As soon as he saw someone in the room, Meng Shi was taken aback for a moment, but in the next second he rushed towards Ning Zishan like a big dog who had no choice but to see his master: "Brother Ning! It's great to see you, you I don't know how worried I am about you after we parted, the whole castle has become like a maze, no matter how I search, I can't find you, I'm almost dying of anxiety!"

"Uh..." Ning Zishan patted Meng Shi's head reassuringly, "Are you okay?"

"En!" Meng Shi's eyes lit up, he nodded his head heavily, and then he found Tian Shao who was standing on the other side looking at the two with a half-smile.

"Fuck!" Meng Shi was taken aback by Tian Shao: "Murderer!"

Tian Shao's mouth drooped.

Ning Zishan: "..."

Meng Shi continued: "What do you want to do to me, Brother Ning? Let me tell you, if you dare to hurt Brother Ning, I will definitely fight you hard!"

Tian Shao's mouth twitched.

Just as Ning Zishan was about to speak, Meng Shi said again: "If you let Brother Ning and me go," he took out a beige rabbit doll from his pocket, "here, I'll give you this doll .”

"Hello, Meng Shi?" Ning Zishan stretched out his hand to pull him, and Meng Shi shook his head slightly at him.

A look of suspicion flashed across Tian Shao's face, but he still agreed, "Yes."

"Then give it to you." Meng Shiyi raised his hand, and he threw the rabbit doll to Young Master Tian.

Just as Tian Shao caught the doll, the door of the room was opened for the third time.

Seeing the thin figure appearing in the room, it was the turn of these three people to be stunned this time.

"Fuck!" Meng Shi was the first to react, and exclaimed, "Isn't Zhong Linglin dead?!"

"It is indeed dead." Ning Zishan said: "But the owner of the castle brought her back to life again."

"The owner of the castle?" Although the person who was killed by himself stood in front of him again, Tian Shao didn't seem to have any fear or surprise on his face. He asked Ning Zishan: "Have you seen the owner of the castle?" gone?"

Ning Zishan nodded: "The owner of the castle is that burly maid, and besides, he is actually a man."

As soon as Ning Zishan finished speaking, the two of them looked at themselves in surprise, "I don't understand what you are talking about".

It seems that they, like themselves, have never thought about the gender of the strong maid before. Is this considered to be affected by the dungeon?

However, the current situation clearly did not allow Ning Zishan to explain to them any more.

Zhong Linglin, who came in from the door, obviously couldn't wait any longer. Apart from the black stitches on her neck, her two hands were also modified by the owner of the castle, replacing all ten of her fingers with sharp claws. The knife, the sharp blade gleamed coldly in the candlelight, like a hungry beast, ready to move towards them, wishing to pounce on them immediately and tear them to pieces.

When the sword was on the verge of firing, Meng Shi quietly approached Ning Zishan, and said in a low voice, "Brother Ning, get ready, as soon as Zhong Linglin attacks Young Master Tian, ​​we will take the opportunity to rush to the door and leave here!"

Ning Zishan couldn't help looking at Meng Shi, although he wanted to ask how you knew Zhong Linglin would attack Tian Shao instead of us, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded.

The moment he nodded, Zhong Linglin seemed to have received some order suddenly, and jumped up from the spot, like a preying tiger, with open arms and grabbed Tian Shao.

Meng Shiyi grabbed Ning Zishan: "Brother Ning! Let's go!"

The two rushed to the door, Meng Shi opened the door, and pushed Ning Zishan out. At the moment of leaving, Ning Zishan heard Tian Shao let out a heart-piercing scream, and Meng Shi was in front of him. He said loudly in his ear: "Brother Ning, you must live to the end..."

The door was closed, and the second half of Meng Shi's sentence was like a whisper, which quickly dissipated in the air, and Ning Zishan didn't hear it.

He said: "... otherwise the game would not be fun."
