[Comprehensive] The fairy tale time of adults

Lydia didn't care about the candlestick that had disappeared in her hand. Before the sword demon came out of the basement, she quickly ran up, planning to find a room where she could hide along the stairs.

All the creepy things in the castle disappeared.The dolls were gone, the blood splatters were gone, the ground was clean and tidy, and for a moment, Lydia felt like she had returned to the real world.

I'm afraid her abilities are starting to get out of hand.From the inexplicably extended recovery period, to Baker's death notice, to the sharp decrease in the time for switching between night and day in the strange space, these bad omens made Lydia faintly flustered.

I don't know how many monsters are in this space at present, and what unexpected things will happen. Thinking too much can easily make the mentality unbalanced. Lydia can only be careful and watchful, and take one step at a time.

An excellent hiding room was right in front of her eyes. Lydia wanted to take out the keychain to open the door, but when her hand reached into her pocket, she found nothing.The key, which was supposed to be there, somehow disappeared.

Such a large bunch of keys, if she drops them, she will definitely hear the sound.

Footsteps sounded again, and Lydia didn't have time to think about what was going on, so she could only focus on solving the predicament in front of her.

There was the sound of "dong dong" footsteps ahead, and the hanging man was approaching.At the end of the corridor behind, black muddy water suddenly gushed out, which was a sign of the imminent appearance of the god of death.

The escape route was blocked, and the door at hand was also locked. Lydia was in a dilemma and fell into an extremely dangerous situation.

At the very moment, the door opened suddenly, and Lydia was pushed in with a gentle force.At the same time, the figures of the Hanged Man and the Grim Reaper appeared at both ends of the corridor, and Lydia would be surrounded by two monsters if she was only one second late.

Escaped by chance, but Lydia's heart was raised even higher.She was sure that she hadn't touched any mechanism, but what happened just now seemed like someone was helping her in the dark.

The candlestick in the room seemed to respond to Lydia's thoughts, and it burst into flames with a "huh".Her eyes were instantly attracted by the candlestick, and then she saw the wall behind the candlestick.

There is a beautiful painting on the wall.The first time she saw it, there was a loud bang in Lydia's mind, and it blew everything into nothingness.

Lydia staggered towards the painting, searched carefully, and found a special symbol on the painting—a small chamomile.It was Irene's favorite flower, and it was also her signature.

"Irene..."

Lydia stretched out her fingers and stroked the chamomile symbol tremblingly, unable to hold back the surging tears.

Tears blurred Lydia's eyes, and the teardrops hit the ground in big ones.She gritted her teeth, and the "cluck" sound between her teeth was mixed with suppressed sobs, which sounded depressed and sad.

Lydia's hard work and persistence were all in vain at this moment.

How much she hoped that all of this was God's bad joke, even if it wasn't funny at all, even if it made people angry, but after God was happy, Irene could come back.

During this period of time, she kept running around without daring to stop. She survived the torment of her heart and endured endless pressure. She survived until now, and finally got the most desperate result.

Countless pictures of her and Irene emerged in front of Lydia's eyes: they grew up together, played together, and learned to paint together.Erin is very talented and draws much better than Lydia.Irene often gives advice to Lydia and helps her improve her painting skills.

Happy times are fleeting--

Irene's parents died of illness, and only her brother was left with her.

Then, Lydia accidentally fell into the water, and her world lost its colorful colors, leaving only blood-like red and suffocating gray.Fortunately, Irene and Lydia's family have always tolerated her, encouraged her, and understood her. With Irene's efforts, Lydia survived.

Later, Irene's brother became a knight, and Irene followed him to the city.From the continual letters, Lydia was able to tell that she was doing well.Until... She suddenly married a nobleman named "Bluebeard".

At first, Irene's letters were full of happiness, but as Bluebeard often disappeared, Irene's letters gradually revealed sadness.Gradually, there were fewer and fewer letters... Finally, Irene disappeared.

"As for the Duke's previous wife, I only met her a few times. She... fell in love with a knight, and after they fled the castle with him, the two disappeared."

Thinking of this sentence, Lydia twitched her lips.

It's too dark, it's too dark in here.It was clearly daytime, and there was light, but nothing could be illuminated.

Lydia's strength was drained, and she leaned against the wall, her eyes lost.She just felt that there was darkness in front of her eyes, she couldn't feel the way, she couldn't see the direction clearly, and she didn't know where to go next.

In the center of the room, black mud suddenly spewed out from the ground, boiling and emitting stenchy bubbles.

Lydia stared blankly at the pool of black mud, without moving.

"Boom—" The painting on the wall fell suddenly, and the sound brought back Lydia's sanity.

It was Death who had found her.

The god of death is much faster than the hanged man, and he will become a terrible killer after night falls, but in the daytime, he is like a weak chick who has lost his wisdom and can only flash back and forth in places where there is no light.

Lydia picked up the candlestick, and when the Grim Reaper with the ax came out of the black mud, she swung the candlestick in front of its eyes.The Grim Reaper, who only appeared for a few seconds, got back into the black mud again.

Grim Reaper, Hanged Man, Sword Demon, now it seems that the three strongest monsters have all appeared.

Lydia perked up a bit. After she turned around the room, she found a line of blood written in the place where the painting had just been hung——Lydia, live on, the study room.

Seeing this, how could Lydia not understand that it was Irene who was reminding her.

Lydia read the line of blood three times, pulled herself together, and told herself that she couldn't give up here.

She must go out, for the people waiting for her, for herself, and for Irene.

Presumably Irene was helping Lydia, who encountered Death only once on the way to the study.If the locked door hadn't been opened suddenly, Lydia would never have discovered the monster hidden under the table.Taking advantage of Death's confusion, Lydia easily solved it.

There are many paintings of Irene hanging in the study, including portraits of Bluebeard and landscapes, with bright and fresh colors.Through these paintings, it is easy to see that the painter is a sunny and positive person.

On the last row of bookshelves in the study, Lydia found a wooden box containing many letters.

Lydia flipped through the letter and recognized the handwriting on it as Irene's.

"Dear Lydia, happy posting. I'm sorry I haven't replied to you for a long time. Something happened on my side. Do you remember that I told you before about my husband often going out. Before he even When I go out, I will explain the reason to me, but now he ignores me and always disappears. I find myself complaining about these things with you recently, sorry I don’t want to make you feel bad. We say Something else, I've been..."

There are some trivial things in life, and time is limited. Lydia directly skips these useless information and looks for the key information in Irene's letter.

"Lydia, I've always felt recently... that skinny servant my husband trusts so much is plotting something with a retainer named Dick in the castle. Dick always waits for an opportunity to get close to me, and his smile is so hypocritical, which makes me very Disgusted. Of course, this may also be because I haven't had enough sleep recently and I'm too sensitive. I hope I'm just thinking too much."

When Dick's name appeared, Lydia immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.She had already vaguely guessed about the cause of Irene's death, which made her chest feel tight.

"Dick pursued me and I turned him down...my husband...key to the basement...servant..."

The handwriting of this letter was illegible, and Lydia could only judge some information from it, and she opened the next letter anxiously.

"Dick and the servants have been tempting me to open that door in the basement. But I promised my husband I would never touch it and of course I ignored them... Dick threatened me if I didn't help them kill Blue Beard, they will kill me. This is so absurd, my husband will be back in the castle soon...I want to..."

The key handwriting of this letter was also blurred in many places, but Lydia had already guessed what was going on, she frowned, her lips were tightly pressed because of anger, and they turned slightly white.

Lydia continued to flip through the letters at the back, but unfortunately none of them could be read, either blurred or stained with ominous blood.It wasn't until she turned to the last letter that she could finally see the writing on it clearly.

On the last letter, there was only one line scribbled: Help me!

Because the letter writer was too hard, even the back of the letter paper had deep writing marks.

That line of words pierced Lydia's heart like a knife, making her want to clenched her chest in pain every time she took a breath.Her eyes were filled with rage that wanted to burn everything up, and her body was constantly trembling from the rage.

It turns out that Dick and the skinny servant's plan started as early as Irene's visit to the castle.

No wonder Irene has been missing... She didn't escape with some knight at all, but was secretly killed by Dick and the skinny servant!

No wonder there is no Irene's body in the basement. With Bluebeard's personality, if Irene was killed by him, he would definitely hang her body up there as well.

But that doesn't mean Bluebeard is innocent.He has so many eyeliners in the castle and has everything in his hands.Lydia wouldn't believe that he didn't notice the little tricks of his servants and retainers in private!

On the surface, the skinny servant and Dick are the murderers who killed Irene, but Bluebeard is behind the scenes.It was he who, step by step, pushed Irene, who trusted him, loved him, and had been waiting for his return, into the abyss.

Lydia bent down in pain, but her eyes were sharpened by hatred.

She won't let them go, never!

Whether it's the skinny servant, Dick, or Bluebeard...

All evildoers should go to hell, and no one can escape!

The author has something to say: This story is coming to an end.

In fact, the arrangement of this story is meaningful.Walnut uses Bluebeard as a metaphor for the king, telling him that if he does evil again, he will be killed.

I hate being betrayed and kill innocent people. Isn't this also a betrayal of those who love me?In the end, you get nothing but bad results.

Shanruyar: As a good king who has foreshadowed heroic deeds, how could I be so stupid × kill innocent citizens... Otherwise, could the author let me live happily with Walnut in the end?

walnut:? ? ?I don't want to tell the story anymore, I want to go home, I want to change the male lead, I want to suck the loyal dog frog.

Shanruyal: ? ? !
