Penitent hand, trembling slightly

Special servants had lit lamps in the courtyard, and everywhere was brightly lit—except the room they were in.

The room was very dark, no one came to light the lamp, and they did not dare to act rashly.The light downstairs can't reach the third floor, only the moonlight casts a cold shadow on the window frame on the carpet, Shen Maomao and Freckles are all sitting on the sofa, their bodies are hidden in the shadow of the house.

Chris said that she hoped they would all be there after waking up, but Brendon forbade them to stay in the castle at night.No one thought that Chris could sleep for so long in one night, and now it was getting dark, who should they listen to when the orders of the two were contradictory?

Shen Maomao has no such scruples, she has been pre-ordered by Chris, and she is going to sleep with the beautiful female ghost sister tonight, and she can't leave no matter who leaves.

When it was time for dinner, the manor was filled with the aroma of food. This aroma mixed with the fragrance of flowers floated in through the window, making Freckles who had been sitting dry for a long time swallowed, and there was a sound of protest in his stomach.

"Hello." He called Shen Maomao, "Aren't you hungry?"

Shen Maomao replied: "Not hungry."

Chris's status must be higher than Brendon's. In the case of conflicting orders between the two, she chose to listen to the eldest lady.

Besides, Missy has a body!She is not afraid! !

The situation at noon was reversed, and now it was Freckles' turn to panic.He kept fanning himself with his hat, not because of heat, but because of anxiety.

He didn't receive an invitation from Chris, he was still a man, who knew what would happen when he stayed in the castle.

Compared to Chris, he still feels safer outside.More people are more powerful, and ghosts can easily kill two players, but they cannot kill too many people at once.This is the rule of the game, the game does not allow players who are full of sins to die so happily.

As soon as he thought of this, he stood up directly: "We can't sit still! We must get out of here!"

"I want to sit here and wait to die, you go by yourself, I'll drag Chris for you!" Shen Maomao could tell what he was up to at a glance—it was nothing more than her fancy for her force, and by the way, she thought Find a scapegoat.But based on her own comparison of the gap between the two, it is not necessarily who will die for the other.

Freckles tried to ignite her motivation: "It's better to die than to live, how do you know if that bitch will torture you enough before sending you on the road?"

"Oh." Shen Maomao said expressionlessly, "I'm shaking m."

freckle:"……"

He wasn't sure that he could defeat Shen Maomao with strength alone, so he could only grit his teeth and choose to leave alone.

Shen Maomao watched him walk to the door, watched him open the door of the room, stepped out with one foot, and quickly stepped back.Then he immediately closed the door tightly, leaning his back against the door panel and panting heavily, with a terrified expression on his face.

What's going on outside? !

She stood up immediately, walked to the window and looked out.There is nothing unusual on the outside, but the huge courtyard is empty, and it looks a bit too empty.

After a while, Freckles took the initiative to say: "Don't look, it's the corridor."

What happened to the hallway?

"I admit, I deliberately scared you before." He still pressed his arm against the door, as if he was afraid that something outside would rush in, "Those paintings didn't look at you during the day, but now the paintings are blank .”

Shen Maomao's expression remained unchanged, but the words "grass holding" flooded the screen in his mind.

It's much scarier than watching them crawl out of a painting! !

Where did they go? !What are you going to do? !Is it safe in the castle? !

Fortunately, there are no paintings in Chris's room, otherwise she might have to perform a sudden death on the spot.

Freckles probably also felt that he was a little ashamed, so he left the door, returned to the sofa and sat down again, and said, "You are really courageous."

Shen Maomao left the window in fear, sat on the other side of the sofa, put his hands on his knees, very ladylike: "So-so, third in the world."

The room fell silent again, but a carnival started in the manor.

There was no dinner, either, but neither of them dared to go out now, and Freckles didn't talk about it.

I don't know how long the two of them sat dryly. It was so long that Shen Maomao was drowsy and was about to fall asleep. A long "squeak" sound woke her up. The freckles next to her seemed to be scalded to her feet, so she stood up straight. After getting up, Shen Maomao also stood up reflexively, and looked forward with wide eyes.

It's Chris.

Not like Chris.

"It's great that you are still here!" The girl's face was still lazily waking up, she rubbed her eyes sleepily, but the shadow under her feet made a completely different movement from her main body.

Under the cold moonlight, her shadow held a sharp knife and raised her hand to the shadows of the two! !

"Run!" Shen Maomao yelled, kicked off his high heels and jumped over the back of the sofa, rushed to the door with bare feet, opened the door and ran.

Freckles was a step behind her, but he followed closely behind her.The two rushed out the door, regardless of where the sisters in the corridor had gone.

The crystal chandelier in the corridor was shining brightly, because there were too many light sources, several shadows were cast under the two of them.The oil paintings of the beautiful women on the wall have become blank on one side, and they are all the same pale white, giving people the illusion that the corridor is infinitely stretched.

The two quickly ran towards the stairs, and Chris's shadow escaped from the main body and chased out from behind the door soundlessly.

Blank paintings were left behind by them. Seeing that the stairs were getting closer, two people suddenly jumped up from the second floor and joined them at the top of the stairs.

Those two were wearing the same bodyguard uniform and maid uniform, and they were players following that icy young lady.

The one in maid clothes shouted, "Run! There is a shadow chasing us!"

Shen Maomao: "Don't you think it's a coincidence?! There are also behind us!"

The two parties looked at each other, looked at each other, and saw the look of despair in each other's eyes.

One on the third floor and one on the second floor, they are now under attack.

Freckles cursed: "Why don't you run down!"

The maid cried and said: "Slipped around and came up again! The door of the manor is locked! Can't get out!!"

The guard looked at a small bay window on the stairs, gritted his teeth and said, "No, let's jump from above!"

"Fuck." Freckles immediately retorted, "Who the hell can climb up this tall?!"

While they were talking, two black shadows approached quickly, and they were about to collide with them.

At this critical moment, Shen Maomao remembered the small platform at the top of the stairs. There is also a platform on the third floor that is the same as the second floor, and the carpet on the first floor can be seen directly from above.The distance between the castle floors is not too close, but it is only the height of the third floor, so no one will fall to death, and there is a carpet underneath as a buffer...

"You can jump from the platform to the first floor!" Without much time to think about countermeasures, Shen Maomao yelled, and took the lead to run forward, and the rest of them quickly followed.

The small platform was right in front of them, they crossed the candlesticks, and the shadows under their feet crossed from front to back and back to front, which was disturbing.

Shen Maomao put his right hand on the railing, turned over and jumped over the railing, face inward, and clung to the railing without saying a word and swung down.

The body fell rapidly, and she grabbed the railing on the second floor with quick eyes and hands, and her arms were suddenly crunched twice by her own weight, so frightened that she immediately let go and fell directly to the first floor.

After landing, she imitated the appearance of the protagonist in the action movie, and took advantage of the momentum to roll forward to relieve her strength——

It didn't roll, and I fell a dog and ate shit.

Fortunately, I didn't twist my foot.

The people behind them fell to the ground one after another, making three muffled thuds, two screams, and the smell of blood filled their nostrils.

Shen Maomao got up quickly, ignoring the pain, and turned to look at the situation behind him.

Just one glance almost made her lose her mind.She retched twice uncontrollably, burst into tears, and immediately turned her head back, not daring to look again.

——The maid actually fell from the height of the third floor!

People who have never experienced it can never imagine what kind of scene it is when a person falls behind you.Shen Maomao closed his eyes, but in front of him was still the bloody picture, and the maid's eyes that were dying.

Freckles turned pale, covered in cold sweat: "Those two shadows don't seem to follow."

The guard was closest to the maid, and even had a few drops of blood splashed on his face.He pissed away from the unspeakable thing on the ground, leaned his back against the railing of the stairs on the first floor, and wiped his face with trembling hands.

The blood was wiped evenly in an instant, making him look like a ghost just crawled out of the abyss, but his expression was extremely terrified, his lips were even a little purple, and his body was trembling constantly: "Why... how did you die? ? It's only on the third floor..."

That's right, it's only at the height of the third floor. If you jump down, you'll sprain your feet at most. How could you throw someone into... like this?

In just ten seconds, a deep black trace spread and saturated on the carpet, and then overflowed the area of ​​the carpet, trickling.Under the dancing candlelight, the blackened bloodstains reflected the coquettish light.

"Isn't it just the first day?!" Freckles stepped over a pool of blood, walked to the door and tried to open it, but as expected, the door was tightly locked, "Who the hell told me that people usually don't die on the first day? !"

He kicked the door angrily, and there was a loud noise when his foot touched the door panel, but the pure wooden door remained motionless, without any damage.

The smell of blood became more and more intense, and even the air seemed to turn a fishy red.

Shen Maomao tried to smash the floor-to-ceiling windows with a candlestick. The originally fragile glass was like steel at the moment. Even though her hands were numb from the shock, she couldn't break a piece.

This is clearly trying to trap them in it.

She put down the candlestick and stopped doing useless work, but the anxiety and fear in her heart were still there.

"What about the others? What happened to the other two guards and the maid?" She asked the guard, "Did you see the chef and others when you went downstairs?"

"No." After all, he was no longer a newcomer, and the guard stood up after a while, answering Shen Maomao's question while walking over to join them, "There is no one in the castle except us, not even an npc. "

As he stepped out of the shadows bit by bit, Shen Maomao opened his eyes wide, and his pupils contracted violently——

This person has no shadow! !
