Accidentally pregnant with a cub [Interstellar]

After completing the first task, the four left the room and walked up the stairs to the third floor.

The ground on the third floor is covered with a thick agate-colored carpet, so there is no sound of footsteps when you step on the ground like the second floor. When you climb to the third floor, you can see the huge portrait hanging on the wall in front of you at first glance. The portrait occupies almost half of the wall area. It is a middle-aged man who is slightly fatter, frowning and glaring.

Obviously this is the Earl, the owner of the castle.

On the wall next to the huge portrait, there are no less than [-] portraits of ordinary specifications neatly listed. The first few portraits should be the portraits of previous earls. The portraits of both men and women, most of them are outstanding and beautiful.

Most of the expressions of the previous earls are similar to the expressions of the current earl, either blank or glaring, while the expressions of the young and beautiful lovers are much richer. Embarrassed, there are dementia hopeless.

According to the name of the second task, "Portrait of Smiling at Midnight", it must be related to these portraits.

Jesse had already rushed to the side of the portrait excitedly and began to study it.

Lin Quan looked around, and always felt that compared with the second floor, the third floor was a little different except that it was carpeted.

By the way, Lin Quan looked at the open doors in front of him.

Unlike the doors on the second floor, which are all closed, the doors of all the rooms on this corridor are open.

The open door of each room is facing an outdoor balcony separated by floor-to-ceiling glass. The bright moonlight shines on the white handrail outside the balcony, like a silver galaxy pouring down, as if it has substance, slowly forming a whole The face of a woman whose eyes had been gouged out.

"what!"

"what!"

"What's the matter?" Lance came to Lin Quan's side with a stride, and asked worriedly seeing his pale face.

"I saw a human face outside the balcony, a human face without eyes." Lin Quan was so frightened that he almost lost his wits. Those who were enjoying the night scene almost forgot that they were in a haunted house.

"It's all fake," Lance patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, and said with some distress, "Come and see the portrait with me."

Lin Quan nodded in shock, he didn't want to stand by alone now and see anything strange again.

"What are you calling?" Jessie turned to Black after making sure he was okay.

"She just laughed!" Blake said, pointing to a portrait on the wall.

He was referring to a portrait of a woman holding a pot of pomegranate fruit in both hands. Although she didn't smile obviously, the bright eyes under the slender eyebrows were as gentle as if she was looking at her lover.

"Is this the woman you just saw?" Jesse asked Lin Quan.

Lin Quan shook his head. Now that he recalled the scene just now, he could only feel the horror of being frightened, so he didn't have the heart to see what she looked like.

Jesse and Blake stepped forward together, and groped around the frame, around and on the portrait, but found no clues.

Lance saw that Lin Quan had been pursing his lips nervously, and even the veins in his neck appeared. He knew that he was still not recovering, and stood close to him thoughtfully.

Lin Quan glanced at him gratefully.

"Don't repeat the scene just now," Jesse finished, motioning for Black to stand where Lin Quan had just stood, while he stared at the portrait.

Blake obeyed the arrangement and stood there obediently for several minutes, but nothing happened.

Jesse also tried it once in the past, and there was no change.

"It may have locked the character," Jesse said, looking at Lin Quan with some guilt. "It is said in the guide that there are some plots that will lock the person who triggers it for the first time."

On the surface, Lin Quan nodded and walked over as usual, but in fact, he had already started to retreat in his heart, and regretted entering this haunted house. Lin Quan, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth since he was a child, fought the world with his fists and kicks in no man's land. It can be said that he is the real one. Yes, very, extremely afraid of ghosts.

Standing back at the position where he saw the hell just now, Lin Quan secretly took a deep breath, before he breathed it out, he felt a pair of warm hands covering his eyelids.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take a look for you," Lance Huan leaned behind him and said softly.

Lin Quan, who was still afraid at first, felt the warm body leaning against his back, and the breath inadvertently blowing in his ear following Lance's words. The fear was indeed much less, but the heartbeat that was already beating wildly became even stronger.

Lance squinted his eyes happily and found that Lin Quan's ears were all red.

"She laughed!" Jessie yelled.

He has been staring at the portrait. At a certain moment just now, the woman holding the pomegranate did have the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but what does this mean?

Returning to the front of the portrait, Lance said, "Although I can't see the specific facial features, she is the only one who looks the most like me in these portraits."

Lin Quan, who didn't want to stare at that portrait anymore, simply looked at other portraits in a blink of an eye.

"Is this Alice?"

Lin Quan pointed to the last portrait. The girl in the portrait was not very old, with a high ponytail and equestrian clothes, holding a whip heroically, like a jockey about to enter the arena. Her immature Her face was very similar to the delicately made-up Alice she met in the room just now.

"Generally speaking, the portraits in the corridor can only be the earl and his wife. Why are there so many portraits of lovers hanging here?"

Lance looked at several portraits with different expressions in front of him.

The smiling woman was holding a pomegranate, and there was a boy in white who was crying on the roof, a woman in yellow who was blushing under the tree as if she was out of breath, and a woman in blue who bowed her head and prayed piously .

The last Alice is facing the warm morning sun with a smile on her back.

"Everyone here has a different expression, and the only thing that changes is related to the expression. Maybe it is conveying some kind of message?" Lin Quan calmed down and began to think.

"Do you want to go to another room to see if there are any clues?" Black rolled up his sleeves. He didn't like this kind of question that required mental logic since he was a child.

Jesse glanced at the room with the door wide open, nodded, "Let's go in together."

The first room is the one where Lin Quan saw a ghost face.

Jesse and Black went in first, Lin Quan and Lance followed behind, Lin Quan didn't dare to go too far, and was afraid of being alone in the corridor, so he could only follow Lance closely.

The room was very clean, like an ordinary guest room, Blake opened the glass door leading to the balcony, and found a bowl of pomegranate fruit in the corner of the balcony floor.

"Here are the peeled pomegranates." Black picked up the bowl and walked in.

"It seems that this is the woman's room." Jessie took a look. The pomegranate fruit was bright in color and plump, with a little dew on it. Pomegranates look exactly the same.

"There's nothing else left, so I guess there's only so much information about this room," Lance said.

The layout of the second room is similar to that of the first room, and there are no unnecessary clutter. There is only one photo frame on the table.

In the photo frame is a black and white group photo of the earl and the young man in white. Unlike the angry eyes on the outside portrait, the earl in the group photo is smiling, and the young man standing beside him is also smiling slightly. People are seven or eight points alike.

"He is the earl's son," Lin Quan said, "it's strange, the earl's son's room is obviously on the second floor."

They were the golden scriptures found in that room based on the clues given by Alice.

After finding nothing else, the four entered the third room.

Although the third room was full of things and messy, I didn't get any useful information. Only through the messy dresser and the dresses in the open wardrobe, I could tell that it was a woman's room.

"If the order of the rooms follows the order of the portraits," Lance recalled, "then this should be the room of the woman in yellow."

Several people searched again, but still found nothing.

"Jesse, do you have any hints in your strategy?" asked Black, who was confused.

"Actually," Jesse paused after hearing the words, and pushed his glasses, "this strategy only includes the content of the first mission, and only a sentence at the end, suggesting that we don't get separated, there is nothing else."

Black, Lin Quan, Lance: "..."

"Let's go to the next room," Jessie smiled awkwardly when he saw them speechless, and left the room first.

Following Lin Quan who stepped out of the door, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing over, and looked back as if feeling something.

Lin Quan glanced at the open glass door, and the lush tree that was about to grow into the balcony, big tree?

"What's wrong?" Lance, who was walking beside him, saw him suddenly stop.

"There is a big tree outside the balcony, which is not in the two rooms in front," Lin Quan said.

The door in front of him has been closed because of their departure, which probably means that Jesse said that there is no turning back.

At the first glance, I can only roughly remember that the crown of the big tree is in the shape of a clump and a natural round head. Under the bright moonlight, the trunk is obviously grayish brown, with tumor-like protrusions on it.

"That's a pomegranate tree," Lance said.

This is obviously related to the first room, they thought at the same time.

"There is only one cross here." Jesse, who entered the fourth room, saw them coming in, and pointed to the cross necklace found beside the bed, hanging around his neck, "It should represent the woman who prayed. "

Lin Quan also told him what they had just discovered.

"Does this have anything to do with that bowl of pomegranate fruit?" Jesse was also lost in thought.
