Earth Exam [Unlimited]
Chapter 10 Clare Manor
"Hi, see you again."
The familiar dense fog swept over again, filling the entire second floor in a short while.
Including Jian Qiao, a total of six people were drawn into this additional question.
The knight riding the bone horse appeared before his eyes again.
New and old hatred, extremely jealous.
The dagger in the knight's hand turned into a long ax again, and the handle of the ax creaked, making one wonder if the ax would be crushed.
"Shameless man, you have fallen into my hands again."
"That's really unfortunate." Jane spread her hands quietly, "Why don't you try to chop me up?"
The knight didn't move.I don't know if I can't move or I've had enough of the lesson from last time.
"Forget it if you don't cut it." Jian quietly stood opposite him, fearlessly daring to die, "The one just now was your personal home court, but this may not be."
"After all, you are just its guardian, not its..."
"Candidates please enter the additional questions as soon as possible." The knight interrupted him roughly, and manipulated the white bone horse to make way for a passage. Deep in the thick fog behind him, a continuous black shadow could be vaguely seen. The two will-o'-the-wisps made his tone even more icy cold.
Tsk, I always feel that if I continue talking, the knight will not be able to resist violating the rules and will kill me.
Jane quietly shut up wisely.
Walking in the direction of the fog, when passing by the knight, the two will-o'-the-wisps in the knight's helmet were beating violently, switching back and forth between extinguishing and skyrocketing, as if trying to break free from the helmet.
Jane glanced at him sympathetically.
I'm afraid I won't hold back something wrong.
The five candidates around him silently distanced themselves from him, creating a vacuum around him.
A boss is a boss, incomparable, incomparable.
After walking for a while, I can clearly feel that the texture of the bottom of my feet has changed from glass texture to mud, and then from mud to gravel road.But the surroundings are still gray, with thick fog surrounding the surroundings, and the visibility is extremely low.
The knight disappeared, and so did the candidates around him.He could only hear the rhythmic echo of his footsteps on this road with no end in sight.
The fog was getting thicker.
At the beginning, I could clearly distinguish things two or three meters away, but now the fog is like a maggot attached to the bone, and I can't even see the distance of two or three steps clearly.
There was singing in my ears.
The singing voice is high-pitched, but it seems to be very far away, and when it reaches the ears, it is already illusory.This faint voice is heard in the ear, like a small hook, which makes people lose their minds and slow their thinking.
"I am the humble beggar, or the pure holy child...
Living in a high hall, surrounded by nebula..."
Like the legendary siren who confuses sailors and sinks a ship with their singing voice at sea.
"If I hadn't been wearing a sprite mask...
Usually it's an angel and half a ghost...
What does it matter if I fall or not? "[1]
There is a mysterious force urging him to go to the source of the singing.
The body and the spirit are divided into two parts. The body constantly resists the danger, and the spirit is attracted to the singing like a demon.
"If I hadn't been endowed with alluring beauty...
Upside down all beings, irresistible
Will someone get down on their knees…”
Jane sneered quietly and kept walking.
He murmured: "Tao can be Tao, very Tao. Name can be named, very famous..."[2]
The singing visibly choked.
"...Because I don't have another life, I come to predict my own fate in advance—"
"No name is the beginning of heaven and earth; name is the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its beauty; there is always desire..."
"88 great names, names destined to fade—"
"...to see its essence. These two come from the same place but have different names, and they are both called Xuan. Xuan is also Xuan, the gate of all wonders."
The master of the singing voice raised his voice: "And I..."
Jian Qiao sped up her speech: "Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but it is evil; everyone knows that what is good is good, so it is not good..."
"Yes…"
He increased his voice: "Therefore, existence and non-existence are born together, difficult and easy are complemented by each other, long and short are compared, high and low are mutually incline, sounds and sounds are in harmony, and front and back follow each other... It is the sage's doing nothing..."
The singing stopped abruptly, and there was a thick sound from the depths of the fog, as if some kind of creature became angry from embarrassment.
Then there was a scream that could shatter glass.
Jane covered her ears expressionlessly.
Yes, this is the Tao Te Ching.
This scream shredded the fog, and the thick fog finally dispersed. A hundred meters in front of him was a standing manor, and a few steps behind him were four candidates with pale faces and terrified faces.
One person is missing.
It should be... stay in the thick fog forever.
After the fog cleared, knights patrolling in front of the manor spotted them.
"who!"
"We are Mr. Clare's guests. We are invited by him to come to his manor."
"The earl's guest?" A man with the appearance of a knight captain walked out of the patrolling knights, scanning them suspiciously. In addition to their calm faces, the four people behind them all looked pale and panicked, and looked suspicious.Moreover, how can aristocrats travel without a frame?
"Of course." Jane smiled calmly, "You can ask someone to confront you."
The knight commander gestured to the distance: "Sorry, we need to check your identities."
After a while, a confirmation signal came from the manor.
Sure enough, the identity arranged by the system is still very reliable.
After confirming their identities, the knight commander nodded to them, "It's the Harvest Festival recently, and some people with malicious intentions will always take the opportunity to sneak in. I am deeply sorry for the trouble you have caused."
He got off his horse and led the horse to lead the way:
"Dear guests, welcome to Clare Manor."
When a group of people stepped into the gate of the manor, the system prompt sounded:
[Claire Manor, start answering questions. 】
[Candidates are requested to confirm their survival after the Harvest Festival ends. 】
The knight commander led them into the manor, and the deeper they went, the more they felt that this was not so much a manor, but a large piece of land.
There are endless farmlands, continuous livestock farms, farmers working in the fields, and a lot of slaves.
After walking along the winding gravel road for about a quarter of an hour, a castle appeared in front of us.
The dark castle built of huge stones is heavy and towering, standing in the center of the farmland.Servants were already standing at the door to greet them.
"Welcome my friends!" The gate of the ancient castle opened to both sides, and a man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a somewhat dull complexion greeted him, with a friendly smile on his face, "Tomorrow's Harvest Festival will be It will be even more exciting because of your arrival!"
"It's getting late now, let's have dinner!" Earl Claire held Jane with his left hand and another candidate with his right hand, leading them towards the castle. His hands were held tightly like iron clamps Yes, the two secretly exerted their strength but failed to break the earl's hand away.
something wrong.
Two grown boys, together they can't resist a potbellied middle-aged man?
A group of people walked to the dining table. The long dining table was covered with exquisite tablecloths and a set of knives and forks. Behind each chair stood a servant with a low eyebrow.
Everyone sat down one by one.The waiter filled the empty glasses in front of them with red wine.
"Come on, serve the dinner!" Earl Clare clapped his hands, and the maids carrying trays filed in and placed the snow-white dinner plate in front of them.When the lid was lifted, the smell of blood came to the face.
The bloody steak lay in the middle of the plate.Watching it makes people think of some bad scenes in horror movies.
The faces of the other four candidates were already green.
"Let's enjoy this dinner!" Earl Clare took a sip of the red wine in the glass first, cut off a large piece of meat steak with a knife and stuffed it into his mouth. bloody.
The boy on Jian Jing's right has already vomited.Lie on the table like a gossamer.This scene really tests people's psychological endurance.
"What do you mean?" The vomiting boy angered Earl Claire, "Are you dissatisfied with my hospitality?"
"The chief guard..."
"Allow me to interrupt you unreasonably." Jane said quietly without changing her expression, "My companion has been feeling a little uncomfortable in the past few days, but it's not that he is dissatisfied with your hospitality."
He cut off a piece of steak with a knife and forked it to the boy's mouth: "A good medium-rare rib-eye steak, do you want to try it?"
"Bull...steak?" The boy trembled.
"Medical Students."
It seems to be some kind of code word.The boy's eyes light up instantly, as long as it's not some kind of meat...
He bit off the meat that Jane quietly handed over to his mouth as if death was at home. The bloody smell in his mouth made him almost spit it out again. The taste of raw meat was almost creepy. Tears, swallowing the steak like swallowing poison.
Sincerity is precious, and the price of backbone is higher.
If it is a small fate, both can be thrown away.
I saw the boy finish the steak bite by bite.Earl Claire's face turned brighter.
"Guests have come from afar, please take a break on the second floor. I will invite you to visit my manor tomorrow. The manor will hold a grand harvest ceremony the day after tomorrow. I look forward to your presence."
After Earl Claire finished speaking, the maid next to him stepped forward and signaled to them: "Gentlemen, please follow me."
The tone is irresistible.
The five obediently got up and followed behind the maid.
The interior of the manor is covered with dark red carpets, and the handrails of the spiral staircase are made of wood. I don't know what kind of paint they used, and the smell is pungent and unpleasant.The maid took them to the second floor, where there were six rooms, four of which faced the stairs, and the other two were around the corner.
"Gentlemen, please choose a room to live in according to your wishes." The maid's voice was flat and stiff, as if she hadn't spoken for a long time and was not used to vocal chords.
The doors of the six houses all have numbers in crooked cursive characters.
从左至右的序号分别是――十三、26、39、52、65、78。
The door was also painted with the same black paint as the stair railing, and the smell was more pungent than the stair railing.
It was smelly and dirty, as if some rot had been buried in the ground for a long time, it had been dug out, ground into powder and then brushed on the door.
Disgusting.
"Guests, please choose a room." The maid repeated.
Several candidates looked at each other, and each chose a room at random, but they all avoided 26, which was facing the stairs.
Jane quietly pushed open the door of 52.
Just before they entered the room, there was a maid's voice behind:
"At night, all guests, please do not go out."
The stiff and flat voice sounded cold for a moment.
The familiar dense fog swept over again, filling the entire second floor in a short while.
Including Jian Qiao, a total of six people were drawn into this additional question.
