[Comprehensive] The fairy tale time of adults

Baker is an abandoned baby who was brought up by a servant in the castle. Baker calls the kind and kind old man "Grandpa".

His abilities are special, but less likable than Lydia's.Since the old man's death, Baker has been bullied for it.After all, in a peaceful country, who wants to hear their own "death announcement" from a child adopted by a servant?

Baker tried his best to help others when his own safety was difficult to guarantee.Lydia couldn't judge whether his "kindness" was right or wrong.She is not Baker, she cannot empathize with him, and she is not qualified to rate his kindness from her own standpoint.

she thought about it too

If she hadn't met Baker, if he didn't have this "kindness", maybe Lydia wouldn't have any intersection with him now.

Then if he can survive, in the near future, perhaps he will become a terrifying existence.

Life is full of countless possibilities, and sometimes a choice leads to a completely different future.When you think about it, this world is really crazy and wonderful.

Baker couldn't predict a coherent event, and the information he could see was some images that would happen within three days.

Lydia puts together the known information and extrapolates what will happen.

Baker saw what happened to her in the horror space, and he said that she was chased by many monsters, and finally died at the hands of the knife demon.

Hearing this, Lydia was actually not surprised.In fact, before finding the weakness of the sword demon and being able to overcome it, she had already died many times under the hands of the sword demon.

If what Baker sees is a premonition of her death in the eerie space, it's "normal" for her.But if what he saw was her actual death forecast, things would be in trouble.

Does this mean that after she died in the weird space, she would really die?

Lydia thought deeply and thoroughly.

Lydia thanked Baker and let him go down to rest early.She has a heavy burden and doesn't want to involve Baker in her own doomed future.Lydia has no choice. In order to track down Irene's whereabouts, even if she dies, she has to enter the strange space.But she was still grateful to Baker, at least he gave her a warning.

That night, Lydia did not sleep.When it was late at night, she changed into a set of black light clothes, and took advantage of the darkness to go to the basement.

Usually when she was wandering around the castle, she would always see someone peeping or following her casually.However, when she walked near the basement, both the voyeur and the person following her would disappear, deliberately creating an atmosphere that made her go to the basement at ease.

There is obviously some kind of trap set by Bluebeard here.Lydia will never come here until she reaches a desperate situation.But now that she doesn't have much time left, it doesn't hurt to come and see.

Lydia took out the key chain, the golden key was conspicuous and abrupt among them.Lydia picked it up and inserted it lightly into the keyhole.The moment she opened the door, a fishy smell and stench came over her face, making her frown.

What caught Lydia's eyes was a picture like a slaughterhouse - the ground was covered with blood, and there was nowhere to stay.The walls of the room were spattered with countless bloodstains, mottled and uneven, as if they had ringworm.In addition, there are dozens of hanging hooks hanging from the ceiling.Counting from left to right, there are three naked female corpses hanging one by one.

The first corpse was skinned, bloody and horrible; the second corpse was headless, hunched and hung upside down; the hands of the third corpse were missing, and it was strung on a hook like a flesh worm with.

What's even more frightening is that these three corpses seem to have been specially processed, so they haven't decomposed for so long.

Lydia carefully identified the three corpses, and after realizing that Irene was not among them, her panicked heart calmed down a little.With a heavy heart, she quickly closed the door and turned away.

A familiar slender figure stood on the stairs leading to the ground.It was unknown when Dick had appeared, but he had clearly seen Lydia open the untouchable door in the basement.

Is Dick a blue beard?Lydia guessed in her heart that maybe he had been quietly ambush here, waiting for her to fall into the trap.

He and Lydia looked at each other from a distance, and in this dark basement, neither of them could see each other's expressions.Just as Lydia shook out the small dagger hidden in her sleeve, Dick walked towards her.

When he got closer, Dick finally saw Lydia's expression clearly.She stood motionless on the spot with a stiff expression, looking at him with blank eyes, as if she was frightened.

Dick laughed to himself, he had finally waited for the opportunity to take her down in one fell swoop, and it was not in vain that he had been waiting for her around here recently.

"Oh, Lydia..." Dick sighed, stroking Lydia's hair pityingly.When her eyes gradually recovered and she showed a frightened expression, he exerted a little force and easily hugged her into his arms.He also covered Lydia's mouth to keep her from screaming.

"Shhhhhhhhhhh don't make any noise, this place is too dangerous, let's talk about it after leaving here."

Dick half dragged and half hugged Lydia. He looked around all the way and ran cautiously. When he came to Lydia's room, he was relieved.

He helped Lydia who was still in shock to sit on the bed, squatted at her feet, held Lydia's face in his hands, and said softly and lovingly: "I know you must be terrified, but please don't worry, I will Always by your side to support you."

Lydia rubbed her chest and breathed heavily, as if she was frightened and trying to calm down.After a long while, she was finally able to express a normal expression, but her voice was still trembling uncontrollably: "This, what's going on here. How could it be like this... That basement... unexpectedly..."

In the middle of speaking, Lydia couldn't go on anymore, and she retched.

Dick hurriedly poured a glass of water for Lydia, and while she was taking a sip of water, he explained: "As you can see, the Duke...is a murderer. I lied to you, I can't bear to see that You who love the Duke know the cruel truth. Because his first and second wives betrayed the Duke, he killed them."

Lydia held the cup with both hands, bowed her head in silence, apparently unable to accept this cruel fact.

"And his third wife did the same thing as you..." Dick added fire and continued, "Because of curiosity, she opened the door that couldn't be opened in the basement."

Hearing this, Lydia suddenly raised her head and looked at Dick in horror.Those big amber eyes were clouded with fear and looked pitiful.

"What should I do, what should I do... I will die, and I will be killed." Lydia panicked and repeated these words.She covered her face with her hands, complaining bitterly to herself: "Why did I open that door, why am I so stupid! What to do, it's over, I'm over."

Dick held Lydia's trembling shoulders, and his broad and warm palms conveyed strength to her: "Don't be afraid, ma'am. I will never let you have trouble, you can still rely on me."

Lydia, like a drowning person, immediately grabbed Dick's palm that was stretched out to her, so hard that it even hurt him.Dick didn't care about the pain at all, but he was very happy.

But in the next second, Lydia pushed him away.She bit her lip and said nervously: "No, I can't trust you. You are his confidant, the man with blue beard! You are also a liar!"

"No, ma'am! I don't want to be a retainer of the devil anymore, I want to be...your knight alone." He half knelt down with a loyal face, "You are so beautiful and charming, and you are so smart and lovely. A man, I am deeply attracted to you. If you are willing to accept me, I am willing to give you my whole heart."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lydia with scorching eyes, and let her look at her very firmly.

Lydia looked at him deeply, and after a long, long time, she finally let go of her vigilance and softened her attitude.She held Dick's hand, her voice choked up, but she said hopefully, "In that case, let's escape, Dick. Just like Bluebeard's last wife, we can definitely escape."

"No!" Dick's voice amplified unconsciously, realizing his gaffe, and he simply continued to speak, but it seemed more real, "Absolutely not! Since the lady and the knight fled, the Duke has become more vigilant, the castle There are all his people inside, and there is no way we can escape."

Lydia shook her head in disbelief, subconsciously wanting to open her mouth to refute this desperate answer.But her lips moved and closed, and in the end she couldn't say anything, so she could only shut up again dejectedly.

Just when Lydia fell into a dead end and was about to despair.Dick made up his mind and whispered, "I have a way...let's...kill the Duke."

Lydia's pupils suddenly dilated, and then she covered her face with her hands again.

Dick didn't make a sound to interrupt her thinking, just chuckled silently, which was inevitable.

"Let me think about..."

"I understand that this is a difficult choice. But our time is running out, once the Duke finds out..."

"Well, I know. Dick... I'll have to think about it."

"Okay, I respect your decision, ma'am." Dick kissed Lydia's hand, stood up and said, "I must leave. No matter what your choice is, I will be with you, even if it means death."

The next day, Lydia ordered someone to pick up her sister for a party in the castle.The duke is away, and the lonely lady misses her loved ones. This is a very normal thing, and the servants made arrangements as soon as they got the order.

When Lydia's older sister arrived, she and her older sister got together intimately, eating, playing games, chatting... and even sleeping in the same bed.

Lydia's sister brought good news. The elder brother and Irene who were unable to return from the battlefield before had already won the battle and were on their way home.

The two chatted very late, and when everyone was asleep, Lydia began to explain her funeral to her sisters and asked her sisters to take good care of her father.

She recorded everything she investigated during this time in her notes and entrusted her to her sister to keep it for her.If something happens to her, Blue Beard can kill the butcher's wife when the brothers come back.

Lydia is a person who repays her kindness. Of course, she did not forget Baker and entrusted him to her sister.

Based on Lydia's understanding of Irene, there are only two possibilities for her to lose contact with herself.

There is no time for him to care about danger, or... death.

Judging from the current situation, Irene is very likely to be in danger.Dick's words were hard to tell, and she couldn't quite believe them.Crisis and clues coexist in the weird space, and she has to go in.

Knowing that Lydia had made up her mind, Lydia's elder sister silently put away her notes, hugged Lydia tightly, and buried her head in her neck.

She smiled to ease the atmosphere: "Don't worry, I won't die that easily. I assure you, I will try my best to survive, and I still have to find Irene."

"People say you are cold-hearted and weird, but on the contrary...you are a fool." My sister said with difficulty and intermittently.

She was quick to feel her sister's tears, hot and wet, on her skin.

Lydia was silent, but hugged her back hard.
