[Comprehensive] The fairy tale time of adults

There are eyeliners everywhere in the castle, and Lydia's sister is holding her investigation records, so it is inconvenient to keep more.After staying for two days, my sister went back.

When parting, her sister forbade Lydia to send her out of the castle.Lydia had no choice but to send her out of the main building, stood at the door and talked with her for a while with a smile, pretending to be.

My sister left without looking back, without even saying "goodbye".The two had a tacit understanding, and Lydia knew that her sister meant that she hoped they would see each other again.

It was destined to be an uneasy day. Not long after her sister left, Lydia received the news that Bluebeard had returned to the city.He was already on his way, and he would reach the castle in about two days.

Dick obviously also got the news, and he came here specially to inquire about Lydia's decision.

Lydia was perfunctory, but she didn't let go, only saying that she still needs to think about it.

Dick had no choice but to leave resentfully.

She thought she would not be disturbed again today, but when Lydia went to the studio, she saw an uninvited visitor.

The skinny servant stood in the studio, looking at Lydia's unfinished painting on the easel with his hands behind his back.Seeing Lydia come in, he asked her to close the door leisurely without even saying hello.

Uncharacteristically, he acted like a master, as if Lydia was his servant.

Lydia didn't care about his gesture, she closed the door behind her and waited for the skinny servant to explain her purpose.

"You are a wise man, whether you live or die, whether you have wealth, status or nothing, you will definitely make the right choice." The skinny servant squeezed out a hypocritical smile, which made his wrinkled face look even uglier, " Your Excellency Dick is too gentle to push you. But with all due respect, the Duke is coming back soon, so you can't waste any more time."

He threatened: "I will wait for you to give the correct answer before tomorrow night. I think... If you are still not clear enough or hesitant by then, then I can only help you have some cruel experiences first, so that you can make better decisions." judge."

"I look forward to the day when you become my real master, when everything will completely belong to you, I would like to apologize for my rudeness today." The skinny servant saluted, "Your paintings are very beautiful, I hope I can see them When the finished product is reached, don't bother."

The skinny servant bypassed Lydia, and thoughtfully closed the door behind her when she went out.

Lydia stood where she was for a while, and couldn't help smiling when she went to the easel to pick up a paintbrush.

Bluebeard really failed.Betrayed by his wife, calculated by his subordinates, even the servants coveted his wealth.No wonder the skinny servant was indifferent to the gem she brought out. His ambition was much bigger than a small gem, and it was astonishingly big.

It turned out that Dick and the thin servant were in the same company, and they were not very good things.They played two roles, one played the good guy, softening Lydia; the other played the bad guy, threatening Lydia.

It was a wonderful play.

There are really many forces mixed in this castle, including those with blue beards, Dick, and skinny servants... There are traps everywhere, and the bloody mist is everywhere, making it difficult for people to move forward.

Lydia withdrew her divergent thinking and concentrated on the painting.

After many days, this time, she finally succeeded.

This time, it was night in the weird space.

Lydia felt a little relieved.According to Baker's clues, she was chased by many monsters during the day, that is to say, she stayed after the night-day switch.

It seems that she moved faster this time, and had to leave before the switch between night and day.

Lydia is still in the room full of inverted crosses, but the layout of the room has changed a lot. Most of the gorgeous decorations have disappeared, replaced by cute gadgets that girls love.In the candlelight, those warm decorations are incompatible with the scary room, appearing nondescript and extremely scary.

Lydia searched the room, but found nothing.While guessing what the monster was this time, she took the candlestick and planned to leave the room.

"咚咚-"

Fortunately, Lydia hadn't opened the door yet, so she quickly placed the candlestick on the ground to ensure that its light would not leak out of the window, and hid aside to peek outside from the window.

The footsteps were getting closer, and when Lydia felt the shock on the ground, she saw her "old buddy"—the Hanged Man—from the window.

Baker's reminder and this long recovery period have always made her nervous, fearing that the strange space will change, and she is really afraid that some new dangerous guy will appear.

Seeing that the hanging man is still so clumsy, there is no change at all.When passing by the room where Lydia was at a constant speed, she found nothing, and slowly left, Lydia felt inexplicably warm.

When it was safe, Lydia thought about it, and went out with the candlestick.

This time the search was not smooth at all, not because the hanged man had been chasing her, but because he hadn't found it.Lydia has almost finished checking the key rooms, but she didn't find any useful clues.

The atmosphere of the castle is even more depressing than the last time I came.

Bluebeard's third wife seems to have a fondness for dolls, and her collection is full of tattered, broken, and unrecognizable dolls.The eyeballs of these dolls are mostly made of smooth and beautiful stones or gems, and they glow dark and cold under the moonlight.Walking in the castle, Lydia can always feel countless sights.

Now there are still treasures left to look at. If there is nothing here, Lydia can only go to the basement to try her luck.

Lydia opened the door of the treasure storehouse - there was a row of messy bloody footprints on the wall at the top of the room, but the room was empty, with no treasures, no decorations, no furniture... only the candlesticks were shining alone.

It looks like the scalp is numb.

Just before Lydia closed the door, she suddenly heard the sound of something falling from inside the room.She looked into the house, and saw a little puppet lying on the empty ground just now.

Under her gaze, the puppet uttered a painful hoarse indistinct moan, stood up unsteadily, and walked towards the door.

Lydia put her hand on the hilt of the sword, looked around, and hesitated whether to lock the doll in the door, or to see what it wanted to do, and run away if it couldn't beat it.

"Please... help me, get my arms back..." The puppet's voice fluctuated, and then slowly returned to normal, turning into a girl's voice, "Please help me... the basement... my arms..."

Only then did Lydia notice that the doll's arms seemed to have been roughly torn off by someone, and the joints were empty.The first thing she thought of was the corpse with missing arms - Bluebeard's third wife.

"Who are you? Why should I help you?" Lydia asked in a low voice.

The puppet announced its own name, and it turned out to be Bluebeard's third wife.

"You seem to be looking for something. If you are willing to help me get my arms back, I would like to give you some help..." The puppet raised its head, as if it was staring at Lydia.

Lydia picked up the doll, it wasn't a safe place to talk.She found a room that looked more normal than the treasure warehouse, and asked the doll, "Do you know where Irene is?"

The puppet thought for a while, then shook its head: "Who is she... I don't know."

Lydia brushed off her impatience, realizing she had asked a silly question.How could Bluebeard's third wife know about Irene, who married Bluebeard after she died.

She thought for a while and asked, "So, were you really killed by Bluebeard?"

Lydia's question brought back the puppet's most frightening memory. She trembled and ran straight to Lydia's chest.Lydia had to hug her to comfort her.

After a long time, the puppet was crying and replied intermittently and incoherently: "Yes, it was the skinny servant...he lured me to see the basement. I opened the basement out of curiosity... I was killed by him against what Blue Beard said. gone."

The skinny servant...he indirectly helped Bluebeard kill his third wife!

why? !

Combined with today's thin servant's threats to her, and Dick's constant seduction.Lydia soon had a frightening answer in her heart, could it be...they have been planning to kill Bluebeard since so early?If Bluebeard died unexpectedly, his property could not be taken over by servants and retainers, so they wanted to start with Bluebeard's wife? !

This is really nasty!

However, Dick said that he was only transferred to this castle two years ago, and she also verified that it was true, so it doesn't make sense here... Or, Dick is just a chess piece for the skinny servant, and there were waste chess pieces before that?

"Did you always have handsome men seduce you, but you firmly refused?" Lydia asked her softly, touching the doll's head.

"Yes... yes... How could I be betrayed by my husband." The puppet was still trembling, "Please help me get my arms back, please."

"Let's go." Lydia nodded after the question she couldn't figure out was answered.

Lydia walked surprisingly smoothly on the road leading to the basement.Although she encountered the hanging man several times, she avoided it perfectly before the other party found out, and did not confront it for the time being.

There are two roads leading to the outside in the basement, and it is impossible to enter the basement from the entrance with the body of a hanging person. Lydia is temporarily safe here.

According to the guidance of the puppet, her arms are in the door that can be opened by the golden key.

This time, the door to the basement was no longer so terrifying, at least from the outside, it was no different from what Lydia saw in the real space, and it no longer gave her the strong sense of disgust and crisis.

Lydia took a breath outside the door, and opened the door to the basement after recovering some strength.

The scene in the room made Lydia gasp, she almost subconsciously wanted to slam the door, and barely stopped when the puppet reminded her.

The room is full of eyes, no matter on the ground, on both sides or above, there are densely packed eyes.As Lydia opened the door, Qi Qi looked at her.These eyes make up a room, they are large and small, and come in all shapes and sizes.The only thing in common is that they are all as red as blood, full of endless malice.

In the middle of the room, a pair of arms floated.

"Please, please help me get my arm back." The puppet cried and begged, "Get my arm back, and I can get out of here."

Lydia didn't move, her rationality was discouraging her not to go, but under the begging of the puppet, her heart gradually wavered.

In the end, she walked in with the doll.

The moment Lydia stepped into the room, the door behind her closed automatically.She stepped on countless eyes, and the touch under her feet was disgusting.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and with a heartbreak, she took off the arms that were floating in the air.

When Lydia's fingertips touched those arms, there was a burst of soft light from both arms, and those densely packed eyes were closed, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

When the light slowly dissipated, the arms disappeared completely, the room returned to its original state, and the doll returned to its complete appearance.

"Thank you." The puppet bowed gratefully to Lydia, "I wish you all the best."

After speaking, it disappeared.

Lydia stayed in the room for a while, sorting out her emotions and thoughts.Now there are no clues in this space, this time it went very smoothly, the time she spent should be only half of the last time.

She opened the door, ready to kill the hanged man.

Just as Lydia stepped out of the room, she was startled. She swung a silver sword light, and immediately there was a crisp hitting sound.

At the same time Lydia drew her sword and knocked down a flying knife, at the end of the corridor, an extremely ugly monster with slime dripping from its body and countless sharp blades floating around was staring at her viciously.Fortunately, it didn't dare to approach because it was afraid of the burning candlesticks in the corridor.

Sword Demon!Two monsters appeared? !

Lydia lit the extinguished candlestick in her hand, and retreated towards the exit while being wary of the sword demon.This place is too narrow to fight with the Sword Demon.

Following her movements, the sword demon also moved towards the other side of the exit.

Lydia sprinted upwards, protecting the candlestick.When she rushed out of the basement, the dazzling sunlight just fell, causing her to narrow her eyes slightly.

The candlestick in her hand suddenly disappeared.

Its daybreak.

The author has something to say: some girls didn't understand it before, let me explain.

Before Lydia, Bluebeard had four wives.

The first betrayed him and became a flayed corpse.The second betrayed him, the headless corpse.The third one looked at the basement, the corpse without arms.The fourth wife is the friend Lydia is looking for, the missing Irene, and she came here for this.

After finishing this chapter, everyone should know the distribution of forces in the castle.In addition to the blue beards, those who followed and monitored Lydia before were also the skinny servants (Dick had a cooperative relationship with him, but the skinny servants didn't have to be him).
