Chapter 121 Horror Nursery Rhymes
Brook saw the glass on the ground and rushed up at once.
"There's blood!" he said, pointing to the shards of glass. "There's blood on the glass!"
"Hmm..." Zhu Yi rubbed his chin and said, "It's possible that she broke it herself."
Brooke turned around suddenly and looked at him angrily: "How can you be so calm? Are you her friend?"
It's really not.
Zhu Yi answered silently in his heart.
He pulled Brooke aside and looked down at the things on the nightstand.There is an aromatherapy lamp on the bedside table, the wick has been exposed to the air, and it seems that it has been burning all night.
This aromatherapy is not special, and they have it in their rooms.
Zhu Yi put the aromatherapy back and checked around the room.
Yue Qingqing said at this time: "There are no other traces of fighting in the room. If it was someone who took Bernice away, then she must have been unconscious when she was taken away."
Brooke opened his eyes wide: "What do you mean? What do you mean the person who took her away was a person? Could there be something that is not a person here?"
"I'm just hypothesizing." Yue Qingqing took a deep breath, trying to avoid touching Brooke's fragile heart, "Maybe she left by herself."
But everyone knew that this was impossible, because the glass on the ground fell into the room, and it was only possible because someone smashed the window from the outside and turned in and took Bernice away.
Lan Chip frowned, looked at Zhu Yi and the others: "But the sound of glass breaking is so loud, did you hear anything?"
He kept his eyes open during the two hours that belonged to the early morning, and it should be said that it was impossible not to hear the sound of the glass.
"Blue Chip, you go to that room." Zhu Yi asked him to go to the side, and then closed the door.
Yue Qingqing and Gu Chao looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what he was going to do.Zhu Yi suddenly picked up the lamp on the bedside table and smashed the glass window.
The opposite door opened suddenly, and Lan Chip came out of the room: "I can hear you."
"This is strange, it means that the sound insulation effect of these rooms is not good." Gu Chao said to himself.
Yue Qing walked to the bedside, picked up the aromatherapy, suddenly thought of something, and ran to her room.
After a while she came back with an unordered one in her hand.
"Look, there is a section of other colors in the middle of this fragrance." She took an envelope-opening knife, cut a part of that section of wax, pulled out the wax core, and inserted it into this section of wax.
She took the finished aromatherapy and walked to the next room with intact windows: "I want to do an experiment, you leave this room first, cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and come in after a minute to put out the aromatherapy." .”
"Why?" Blue Chip was a little confused.
"I need you to see my reaction." Yue Qingqing closed the door after finishing speaking.
Several people were waiting outside the door. During this period, Brook was very disturbed. He was about to leave them several times to look for Bernice alone, but he was caught by them every time.
After 1 minute passed, Lan Chip and Gu Chao covered their mouths and noses and entered the room, leaving Zhu Yi alone to guard Brooke outside.
After they walked in, they found Yue Qingqing sitting quietly on the bed, staring intently at the burning flames.
Lan Chip and Gu Chao looked at each other regardless of past suspicions, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Yue Qingqing didn't turn her head because they entered the door, as if she had been cast with a holding spell.
When the two walked in front of her, they found that she hadn't even blinked her eyes, and had been staring at the flame.
Gu Chao saw that the goddess hadn't moved, so he panicked all of a sudden, and let go of his hand covering his mouth and nose to push Yue Qingqing, but he didn't move even before his hand touched Yue Qingqing's shoulder.
Seeing this, Lan Chip quickly extinguished the candles on the bedside table, and then opened the window to let the room be as ventilated as possible.
After about half a minute, Gu Chao's voice sounded in the room.
"Qing Qing, are you alright?" He continued to do half of the movements just now, but suddenly felt a little sore in his arms.
"Why are you in front of me?" Yue Qing was stunned for two seconds, then realized instantly, "I see, my experiment was successful."
"Did you see that I sat on the bed for a long time?" Yue Qingqing said, "Actually, in my memory, I just finished lighting the fire and sat on the bed."
Hearing this, Gu Chao looked up and found that all the windows in the room were open, and the blue chip who was supposed to be next to him also teleported to another place.
"Did I fall for it too?"
"There is a problem with the gas." Blue Chip nodded.
"Last night, we all lit this aromatherapy in our room. It might be fine at first, but when it burned to the middle, we were all stunned." Yue Qing analyzed.
"This period of time is not too long, too long will arouse our vigilance." Blue Chip agreed.
Because the time drags on for too long, whoever they join will take a look at the clock and go on the route immediately.But when the time is not long, the minute hand is not easy to be noticed even if it walks some distance.
"Excuse me." Zhu Yi walked in and said.
"Didn't you see we were discussing?" Gu Chao turned his head impatiently, and suddenly found that there was nothing beside Zhu Yi.
"Where's the Brooke?" he asked incredulously.
"That's why I interrupted you." Zhu Yi said innocently, "He ran away. If you want to find him quickly, you'd better chase him out now."
"You didn't say it earlier!" Gu Chao cursed, raised his legs and rushed out.
The rest of the people also chased out quickly, and when they reached the stairs, they found that Brook was running through the hall on the first floor, heading towards the dining room.
"Hurry up!" Gu Chao turned over and jumped from the guardrail on the second floor to the first floor.
He should be a strengthened offensive type with good physical fitness.
The rest of the people didn't dare to procrastinate, so they could only speed up and run downstairs.As soon as he ran to the dining room, he saw Gu Chao standing in front of the corridor on the other side of the dining room.
"Gu Chao, why don't you hurry up and catch up?"
"He suddenly disappeared." Gu Chao said, pointing to the corridor.
Zhu Yi looked at this corridor. When he came last night, it was almost completely dark. Today he saw the whole corridor clearly.
This corridor is more spacious than the corridor on the second floor. The walls are covered with old and yellowed wallpaper, and the edges of the corners have been slightly raised. It seems that it has not been maintained for a long time, but it can still be seen that the patterns are very complicated and beautiful.
The strange thing is that Barlow clearly said that there are maids in the manor, but they are out on vacation temporarily, and such a dilapidated corner should not be left in the manor.And it's still in a place like the first floor, where guests may break into it at any time.
Barlow owns this kind of manor, and his ancestors should be aristocrats. Such slovenly things are not decent for ordinary people, let alone nobles.
Old-fashioned wall lamps hung on the wall at equal intervals, a few of which seemed to be broken, flashing light on and off.In addition to the wall lamp, there are three oil paintings hanging in the middle of each door, all of which are portraits of people. The style of painting is as realistic as a photo, and Barlow's name is written in the lower right corner of each painting.
"I didn't expect this Barlow to be a painter." Zhu Yi recalled how he was trembling with a cane in his hand, no matter how he looked, he was someone who couldn't hold his pen steadily.
Suddenly, Gu Chao, who was walking in the front, stopped and pointed to the last painting on the corridor.The four of them looked at it carefully under the flickering lights. In the picture, there was a young man who was very similar to Barlow. He was sitting reclined on a chair, very high-spirited, and beside him stood a gentle and pleasant blonde girl. .
In the dim light, the corners of the girl's mouth suddenly turned up, and gradually grinned behind her ears.
"Grass!" Gu Chao pointed at the girl in the painting in horror.
"Why are you so surprised?" Yue Qingqing was speechless to her teammates.
"That woman is laughing." Gu Chao calmed down, regretting his timid behavior just now.
She lost face in front of the goddess again, and it was under the watchful eyes of her "rival in love".
His imaginary enemy, Zhu Yi, approached the painting and found that Barlow's name was not marked in the lower right corner of the painting.
"This painting was not painted by Barlow."
"Then why would he hang it together with his own work?" Blue Chip asked.
"The young man above may be the young Barlow, and the blonde woman is his wife or sister." Zhu Yi said.
The woman in the oil painting has returned to normal, her eyes like glass beads staring peacefully ahead.
Zhu Yi felt that the more she looked, the more she looked like the woman singing nursery rhymes he saw last night.
"If it's his wife or sister, this lady may have left here or passed away." Yue Qingqing said, "Otherwise, when Barlow answered Bernice yesterday, he should have mentioned her."
Before they left the oil painting, the woman on the screen suddenly rolled her eyes and followed them closely.
Zhu Yi suddenly felt something was wrong, turned around and found a figure in a retro dress appeared on the other side of the corridor.
Before he could see clearly, the figure suddenly disappeared.
"This door cannot be opened." Yue Qing put away her props and said.
They had already come to the door that Zhu Yi had visited yesterday, but the door was still tightly closed. They don't know how Brook disappeared from here.
At this moment, there was a loud noise from upstairs, as if someone had fallen to the ground.
Several people raised their heads suddenly and found a square iron plate above their heads.
"It's a secret passage!" Blue Chip said excitedly, "Brooke must have gone upstairs from here."
"Maybe they were caught by someone." Zhu Yi said coolly.
"Let's go up." Yue Qing moved his wrists.
"I'll go first, Qingqing, just wait for me below." Gu Chao looked at Yue Qingqing affectionately.
He bent his knees slightly, jumped up, and grabbed the groove on the edge of the iron plate with one hand.
With the fall of the ancient dynasty, the iron plate was pulled down by him.It turned out that this is a retractable staircase.
At this moment, a few voices like the humming of wild beasts came from the direction of the living room, and the voices became louder and louder, approaching Zhu Yi and the others continuously.
A figure was projected on the corner wall, a man with twisted limbs, but with two antlers on his head and a black nose.The upper body is naked, the lower body is wrapped in deerskin, and a tail is exposed from the back.
He let out a hoarse growl, and kept approaching Zhu Yi and the others in an awkward posture.
It wasn't until he walked in that he realized that there were two bloodstains on the man's head, which flowed down from the place where he wore antlers.His original nose was also cut off and a real deer's nose was sewn onto his face.
The deerskin on his lower body to hide his shame was actually all sewn on his legs, and his tail didn't know what method to use, it forcibly poked open the meat at the tailbone and pierced it in.
[Non-compulsory task-to meet the half-orc who suddenly appeared.
(When you were looking for Brook, some strange-shaped orcs suddenly appeared in Barlow Manor. You don't know how they entered this closed house, but as long as you defeat them, you can protect yourself and Brook. )]
[Mission level-Xinxiao Jiuquan level.
(The bosses in this mission all have the attack power of sword mountain and fire sea level.)]
[Mission Rewards - Obtain six hearts. 】
[This task is extremely dangerous, do you accept this task? 】
"It's just a boss at the level of Daoshan Huohai, nothing to be afraid of." Gu Chao smiled easily.
In fact, when he saw the "half-orc" in front of him clearly, he was really taken aback.
As soon as Gu Chao's words fell, the deer people suddenly accelerated and rushed towards them. At the same time, more than 20 "half-orcs" poured into the dining room. They lost their minds and ran towards the end.
With a jolt, Gu Chao rushed up the stairs reflexively.
"Accept the fart! Run quickly! There are more than 20 swords and fires, this is killing people!"
Yue Qingqing followed closely behind him and went upstairs second.
"Zhu Yi, let's go!" Lan Chip turned to Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi was a little hesitant. This is six careful hearts. It would be a pity not to put the vain points in front of you.
Just when he was about to accept, Lan Chip covered his mouth and pushed him to the stairs.
Yue Qing leaned on the stairs, grabbed Zhu Yi by the collar, and half dragged him up.
The blue chip was the last to rush up, and the deer man had already climbed halfway.Blue Chip kicked the deer man down, threw the boomerang, and closed the stairs with the transparent thread.
The iron plate cut off the roars of the "orcs" on the first floor, and they breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other silently.
"Zhu Yi, give up the mission quickly." Lan Chi defended him like a thief, "Don't be reckless if Lu Qi is not here."
When Gu Chao heard Lu Qi's name, it was like hearing the clarion call of class enemies, and immediately glanced at Yue Qingqing warily.
Finding that the goddess had no other reaction, she gradually felt relieved.
But he immediately found that Yue Qingqing was looking at Zhu Yi intently, and his heart rose again.
"The corridor just now is indeed inconvenient for us to deal with the boss." Yue Qing chimed in and said.
She made up a few recordings and knew Zhu Yi's behavior style very well, so she persuaded him.
In fact, she didn't want to take risks without being absolutely sure.
Zhu Yi was stared at by pairs of eyes, and it took two seconds before he replied: "Okay."
This task is indeed difficult, and the rewards are not directly proportional to the cost that needs to be paid.
So it was probably there to drive them to the second floor.
Seeing that Zhu Yi had compromised, Yue Qingqing and Lan Chip both heaved a sigh of relief and began to observe the surrounding environment.
They are now in a utility room with dusty shelves all over the place.They found a dark figure in the corner of the room, and when they walked in, they found that it was Brooke.
"Brooke, wake up."
Brooke opened his eyes and looked at them in confusion: "Why are you here?"
Lan Chip helped him up: "We still want to ask you."
Brook covered the back of his head with his hand and hissed, "It hurts! Someone hit me with a stick just now."
Yue Qing recalled the "half-orc" downstairs, so she asked, "Are you sure it's a human?"
Brook rubbed his head: "What else can it be if it's not a human being?"
While they were talking, the roar was heard again, and it sounded like it was moving slowly upwards from downstairs.
"They're going upstairs." Lan Chip's face darkened, "Let's leave quickly, otherwise this broken door won't be able to stop them when they find out."
Taking Brook with them, they went out from this room and found that this was the other side of the guest room where they lived, where the servants lived.
Those "half-orcs" are walking slowly upstairs, and they haven't been spotted yet.
But if they stay here, they will face the "orcs" soon.
"Why did they go upstairs? Could they smell us?" Blue Chip guessed.
When he was talking, one of the women who had been sewn with rabbit ears suddenly raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.
Blue Chip flinched back just in time before the Bunnyman saw him.
Now they can confirm that these "half-orcs" are not only sensitive to smell, but also very sensitive to hearing.
The question is where did the "orcs" come from?The doors to the outside of the building were closed, so it was impossible for them to enter the house from the outside.
And as the owner of the manor, does Barlow know that there are so many monsters here?
At this time, Zhu Yi pointed to the top of his head, meaning he wanted to go upstairs.
The rest of them looked at each other and nodded.
They have no other way to go now, either they jump out of the window and leave the house, but after jumping out, they can't get in.
But they haven't had time to explore the third floor. If they miss any key clues and cause their mission to fail, it will be a big deal.
In order to reduce the noise they made while walking, they took off their shoes and walked up the stairs barefoot on thick mats. The "half-orcs" didn't hear the sound and didn't look up at them.
After successfully reaching the third floor, they divided into two groups and searched for rooms on one side.Brook had a lot of opinions on Zhu Yi, so he followed Yue Qingqing.
Zhu Yi and Lan Chip came to the corridor on the right and found that there were only two doors on one of the walls.
One of them is a lounge, in addition to some wine and cigars, there are dart boards, pool tables, poker and other leisure and entertainment props.
Other than that, there's nothing special about this lounge.
The door of the other room was locked, but this time Zhu Yi opened it with a lockpicking tool.
This is a study, or rather a library.There are neat books on the bookshelves built against the wall. Most of these books are old, at least they have not been taken care of for a long time. There is basically a small spider web in every corner.
At this time, Yue Qingqing and the others also came from the other side: "That is Barlow's bedroom. The other rooms are empty, but there is nothing of value."
"Is there nothing else in Barlow's room?" Blue Chip asked.
"There is a picture." Yue Qingqing took out a heart-shaped pendant, "We found it in Barlow's closet. This woman is exactly the woman in the oil painting in the corridor on the first floor."
"Except for this, Barlow's room is full of ordinary furniture, except that it is a bit more expensive, nothing special." Yue Qing paused, "But there is an interesting phenomenon."
"what?"
"There are many stuffed animals in Barlow's room." Yue Qingqing said, "There is a deer head hanging above his bed, the carpet is bear fur, and there are various animal furs in the closet."
While they were talking, Zhu Yi came to the desk in the corner of the room.
The desk was covered with dust, and a notebook stood awkwardly on it.
When Zhu Yi saw this notebook, the image he saw last night suddenly appeared in his mind - the blonde woman was leaning against the railing on the third floor, holding this notebook in her hand.
Zhu Yi opened the notebook, and on the title page was written a paragraph with a pen——
There was a crooked man,
Walking on a twisted road a mile long,
With twisted sixpence in hand,
Step on twisted steps.
He bought the cat that was twisted all the time,
The cat caught a twisted mouse,
They lived together in a twisted little house,
Only twisted blood can open the twisted door.
(Note: Adapted from nursery rhymes of Mother Goose)
Beautiful font, this font doesn't seem to come from a man's pen.
This is the nursery rhyme that woman sang on the first floor last night!
Zhu Yi didn't pay attention to it at first, but this nursery rhyme has appeared for the second time, which shows that there must be some meaning behind it.
His last words - only twisted blood can open the twisted door.
"Is the way to get out of here in this sentence?" Zhu Yi rubbed his chin, "What does twisted blood mean? Human blood, or the real twisted blood."
Zhu Yi turned his head and wanted Lan Chi and others to take a look at this poem. After all, as a non-human being, he really had more than enough energy to appreciate art.
But when he turned his head, the entire library was empty.The blue-chip Yue, Qing Qing and Gu Chao who were clearly talking behind him just now disappeared at some point, including the NPC Brooke.
Zhu Yi rubbed the corners of his eyes and re-observed the whole room.If someone walked up to him at this time and looked directly into his eyes, he would lose his mind and become crazy in an instant.
He was sure that the whole room was still the room he stayed in just now, and it was not an illusion.
Zhu Yi thought about it, but did not use a way that could cross dimensions to find Lan Chip and the others.Because the appearance of Yue Qingqing has proved that the ghosts are suspicious of them, but the ghosts have no evidence.At this time, it is not a good thing to let the other ghost know his specialness in advance.
At least everything should be in line with common sense.
Zhu Yi went back to the desk to pick up the notebook again, and he flipped through it calmly.The above are basically excerpts of some short stories, including folklore and fairy tales.
With a bang, a key fell out of the notebook and fell to the ground.
Zhu Yi picked up the key and found that the pattern on it was the same as the pattern on the small door at the end of the corridor in the dining room.
He took the notebook and left the library, going to the lounge just now.
After opening the window, Zhu Yi found a transparent wall outside the window blocking his way.
"You can't jump out of the window, can you only go through the door?"
He put the notebook into the prop pocket, picked up the key and went out.As soon as I took a step, I found that the group of "half-orcs" had already reached the third floor.
Twenty or so "orcs" went to Barlow's room first.Zhu Yi thought for a while, then went back to the lounge, opened a bottle of red wine, peeled off the cork a bit, put it back in, and put the red wine bottle on the window rail.
The red wine flowed out through the cork hole, which was missing a small hole, and the bottle, which was still stable because it was filled with liquid, began to tilt.
Zhu Yi took this opportunity to leave the lounge, and swaggered past the group of "half-orcs" who had their backs to him.
But he was too close, and there were still "half-orcs" who heard the voice and turned their heads to walk towards the stairs.
At this moment, the "half-orc" suddenly heard the sound of glass shattering, and rushed towards the lounge like crazy.
Zhu Yi quickened his pace, no longer hiding the sound of his footsteps, and quickly ran to the first floor and came to the corridor.
At the end, he inserted the key.
At this moment, he heard frantic footsteps coming from the stairs. The "orcs" found themselves deceived.
"There's blood!" he said, pointing to the shards of glass. "There's blood on the glass!"
"Hmm..." Zhu Yi rubbed his chin and said, "It's possible that she broke it herself."
Brooke turned around suddenly and looked at him angrily: "How can you be so calm? Are you her friend?"
It's really not.
Zhu Yi answered silently in his heart.
He pulled Brooke aside and looked down at the things on the nightstand.There is an aromatherapy lamp on the bedside table, the wick has been exposed to the air, and it seems that it has been burning all night.
This aromatherapy is not special, and they have it in their rooms.
Zhu Yi put the aromatherapy back and checked around the room.
Yue Qingqing said at this time: "There are no other traces of fighting in the room. If it was someone who took Bernice away, then she must have been unconscious when she was taken away."
Brooke opened his eyes wide: "What do you mean? What do you mean the person who took her away was a person? Could there be something that is not a person here?"
"I'm just hypothesizing." Yue Qingqing took a deep breath, trying to avoid touching Brooke's fragile heart, "Maybe she left by herself."
But everyone knew that this was impossible, because the glass on the ground fell into the room, and it was only possible because someone smashed the window from the outside and turned in and took Bernice away.

Yue Qingqing and Gu Chao looked at him inexplicably, not knowing what he was going to do.Zhu Yi suddenly picked up the lamp on the bedside table and smashed the glass window.
The opposite door opened suddenly, and Lan Chip came out of the room: "I can hear you."

"Hurry up!" Gu Chao turned over and jumped from the guardrail on the second floor to the first floor.
He should be a strengthened offensive type with good physical fitness.
The rest of the people didn't dare to procrastinate, so they could only speed up and run downstairs.As soon as he ran to the dining room, he saw Gu Chao standing in front of the corridor on the other side of the dining room.
"Gu Chao, why don't you hurry up and catch up?"
"He suddenly disappeared." Gu Chao said, pointing to the corridor.
Zhu Yi looked at this corridor. When he came last night, it was almost completely dark. Today he saw the whole corridor clearly.
This corridor is more spacious than the corridor on the second floor. The walls are covered with old and yellowed wallpaper, and the edges of the corners have been slightly raised.

"I'll go first, Qingqing, just wait for me below." Gu Chao looked at Yue Qingqing affectionately.
He bent his knees slightly, jumped up, and grabbed the groove on the edge of the iron plate with one hand.
With the fall of the ancient dynasty, the iron plate was pulled down by him.It turned out that this is a retractable staircase.
At this moment, a few voices like the humming of wild beasts came from the direction of the living room, and the voices became louder and louder, approaching Zhu Yi and the others continuously.
A figure was projected on the corner wall, a man with twisted limbs, but with two antlers on his head and a black nose.The upper body is naked, the lower body is wrapped in deerskin, and a tail is exposed from the back.
He let out a hoarse growl, and kept approaching Zhu Yi and the others in an awkward posture.
It wasn't until he walked in that he realized that there were two bloodstains on the man's head, which flowed down from the place where he wore antlers.His original nose was also cut off and a real deer's nose was sewn onto his face.
The deerskin on his lower body to hide his shame was actually all sewn on his legs, and his tail didn't know what method to use, it forcibly poked open the meat at the tailbone and pierced it in.
[Non-compulsory task-to meet the half-orc who suddenly appeared.
(When you were looking for Brook, some strange-shaped orcs suddenly appeared in Barlow Manor. You don't know how they entered this closed house, but as long as you defeat them, you can protect yourself and Brook. )]
[Mission level-Xinxiao Jiuquan level.
(The bosses in this mission all have the attack power of sword mountain and fire sea level.)]
[Mission Rewards - Obtain six hearts. 】
[This task is extremely dangerous, do you accept this task? 】
"It's just a boss at the level of Daoshan Huohai, nothing to be afraid of." Gu Chao smiled easily.
In fact, when he saw the "half-orc" in front of him clearly, he was really taken aback.
As soon as Gu Chao's words fell, the deer people suddenly accelerated and rushed towards them. At the same time, more than 20 "half-orcs" poured into the dining room. They lost their minds and ran towards the end.
With a jolt, Gu Chao rushed up the stairs reflexively.
"Accept the fart! Run quickly! There are more than 20 swords and fires, this is killing people!"
Yue Qingqing followed closely behind him and went upstairs second.
"Zhu Yi, let's go!" Lan Chip turned to Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi was a little hesitant. This is six careful hearts. It would be a pity not to put the vain points in front of you.
Just when he was about to accept, Lan Chip covered his mouth and pushed him to the stairs.
Yue Qing leaned on the stairs, grabbed Zhu Yi by the collar, and half dragged him up.
The blue chip was the last to rush up, and the deer man had already climbed halfway.Blue Chip kicked the deer man down, threw the boomerang, and closed the stairs with the transparent thread.
The iron plate cut off the roars of the "orcs" on the first floor, and they breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other silently.
"Zhu Yi, give up the mission quickly." Lan Chi defended him like a thief, "Don't be reckless if Lu Qi is not here."
When Gu Chao heard Lu Qi's name, it was like hearing the clarion call of class enemies, and immediately glanced at Yue Qingqing warily.
Finding that the goddess had no other reaction, she gradually felt relieved.
But he immediately found that Yue Qingqing was looking at Zhu Yi intently, and his heart rose again.
"The corridor just now is indeed inconvenient for us to deal with the boss." Yue Qing chimed in and said.
She made up a few recordings and knew Zhu Yi's behavior style very well, so she persuaded him.
In fact, she didn't want to take risks without being absolutely sure.
Zhu Yi was stared at by pairs of eyes, and it took two seconds before he replied: "Okay."
This task is indeed difficult, and the rewards are not directly proportional to the cost that needs to be paid.
So it was probably there to drive them to the second floor.
Seeing that Zhu Yi had compromised, Yue Qingqing and Lan Chip both heaved a sigh of relief and began to observe the surrounding environment.
They are now in a utility room with dusty shelves all over the place.They found a dark figure in the corner of the room, and when they walked in, they found that it was Brooke.
"Brooke, wake up."
Brooke opened his eyes and looked at them in confusion: "Why are you here?"
Lan Chip helped him up: "We still want to ask you."
Brook covered the back of his head with his hand and hissed, "It hurts! Someone hit me with a stick just now."
Yue Qing recalled the "half-orc" downstairs, so she asked, "Are you sure it's a human?"
Brook rubbed his head: "What else can it be if it's not a human being?"
While they were talking, the roar was heard again, and it sounded like it was moving slowly upwards from downstairs.
"They're going upstairs." Lan Chip's face darkened, "Let's leave quickly, otherwise this broken door won't be able to stop them when they find out."
Taking Brook with them, they went out from this room and found that this was the other side of the guest room where they lived, where the servants lived.
Those "half-orcs" are walking slowly upstairs, and they haven't been spotted yet.
But if they stay here, they will face the "orcs" soon.
"Why did they go upstairs? Could they smell us?" Blue Chip guessed.
When he was talking, one of the women who had been sewn with rabbit ears suddenly raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.
Blue Chip flinched back just in time before the Bunnyman saw him.
Now they can confirm that these "half-orcs" are not only sensitive to smell, but also very sensitive to hearing.
The question is where did the "orcs" come from?The doors to the outside of the building were closed, so it was impossible for them to enter the house from the outside.
And as the owner of the manor, does Barlow know that there are so many monsters here?
At this time, Zhu Yi pointed to the top of his head, meaning he wanted to go upstairs.
The rest of them looked at each other and nodded.
They have no other way to go now, either they jump out of the window and leave the house, but after jumping out, they can't get in.
But they haven't had time to explore the third floor. If they miss any key clues and cause their mission to fail, it will be a big deal.
In order to reduce the noise they made while walking, they took off their shoes and walked up the stairs barefoot on thick mats. The "half-orcs" didn't hear the sound and didn't look up at them.
After successfully reaching the third floor, they divided into two groups and searched for rooms on one side.Brook had a lot of opinions on Zhu Yi, so he followed Yue Qingqing.
Zhu Yi and Lan Chip came to the corridor on the right and found that there were only two doors on one of the walls.
One of them is a lounge, in addition to some wine and cigars, there are dart boards, pool tables, poker and other leisure and entertainment props.
Other than that, there's nothing special about this lounge.
The door of the other room was locked, but this time Zhu Yi opened it with a lockpicking tool.
This is a study, or rather a library.There are neat books on the bookshelves built against the wall. Most of these books are old, at least they have not been taken care of for a long time. There is basically a small spider web in every corner.
At this time, Yue Qingqing and the others also came from the other side: "That is Barlow's bedroom. The other rooms are empty, but there is nothing of value."
"Is there nothing else in Barlow's room?" Blue Chip asked.
"There is a picture." Yue Qingqing took out a heart-shaped pendant, "We found it in Barlow's closet. This woman is exactly the woman in the oil painting in the corridor on the first floor."
"Except for this, Barlow's room is full of ordinary furniture, except that it is a bit more expensive, nothing special." Yue Qing paused, "But there is an interesting phenomenon."
"what?"
"There are many stuffed animals in Barlow's room." Yue Qingqing said, "There is a deer head hanging above his bed, the carpet is bear fur, and there are various animal furs in the closet."
While they were talking, Zhu Yi came to the desk in the corner of the room.
The desk was covered with dust, and a notebook stood awkwardly on it.
When Zhu Yi saw this notebook, the image he saw last night suddenly appeared in his mind - the blonde woman was leaning against the railing on the third floor, holding this notebook in her hand.
Zhu Yi opened the notebook, and on the title page was written a paragraph with a pen——
There was a crooked man,
Walking on a twisted road a mile long,
With twisted sixpence in hand,
Step on twisted steps.
He bought the cat that was twisted all the time,
The cat caught a twisted mouse,
They lived together in a twisted little house,
Only twisted blood can open the twisted door.
(Note: Adapted from nursery rhymes of Mother Goose)
Beautiful font, this font doesn't seem to come from a man's pen.
This is the nursery rhyme that woman sang on the first floor last night!
Zhu Yi didn't pay attention to it at first, but this nursery rhyme has appeared for the second time, which shows that there must be some meaning behind it.
His last words - only twisted blood can open the twisted door.
"Is the way to get out of here in this sentence?" Zhu Yi rubbed his chin, "What does twisted blood mean? Human blood, or the real twisted blood."
Zhu Yi turned his head and wanted Lan Chi and others to take a look at this poem. After all, as a non-human being, he really had more than enough energy to appreciate art.
But when he turned his head, the entire library was empty.The blue-chip Yue, Qing Qing and Gu Chao who were clearly talking behind him just now disappeared at some point, including the NPC Brooke.
Zhu Yi rubbed the corners of his eyes and re-observed the whole room.If someone walked up to him at this time and looked directly into his eyes, he would lose his mind and become crazy in an instant.
He was sure that the whole room was still the room he stayed in just now, and it was not an illusion.
Zhu Yi thought about it, but did not use a way that could cross dimensions to find Lan Chip and the others.Because the appearance of Yue Qingqing has proved that the ghosts are suspicious of them, but the ghosts have no evidence.At this time, it is not a good thing to let the other ghost know his specialness in advance.
At least everything should be in line with common sense.
Zhu Yi went back to the desk to pick up the notebook again, and he flipped through it calmly.The above are basically excerpts of some short stories, including folklore and fairy tales.
With a bang, a key fell out of the notebook and fell to the ground.
Zhu Yi picked up the key and found that the pattern on it was the same as the pattern on the small door at the end of the corridor in the dining room.
He took the notebook and left the library, going to the lounge just now.
After opening the window, Zhu Yi found a transparent wall outside the window blocking his way.
"You can't jump out of the window, can you only go through the door?"
He put the notebook into the prop pocket, picked up the key and went out.As soon as I took a step, I found that the group of "half-orcs" had already reached the third floor.
Twenty or so "orcs" went to Barlow's room first.Zhu Yi thought for a while, then went back to the lounge, opened a bottle of red wine, peeled off the cork a bit, put it back in, and put the red wine bottle on the window rail.
The red wine flowed out through the cork hole, which was missing a small hole, and the bottle, which was still stable because it was filled with liquid, began to tilt.
Zhu Yi took this opportunity to leave the lounge, and swaggered past the group of "half-orcs" who had their backs to him.
But he was too close, and there were still "half-orcs" who heard the voice and turned their heads to walk towards the stairs.
At this moment, the "half-orc" suddenly heard the sound of glass shattering, and rushed towards the lounge like crazy.
Zhu Yi quickened his pace, no longer hiding the sound of his footsteps, and quickly ran to the first floor and came to the corridor.
At the end, he inserted the key.
At this moment, he heard frantic footsteps coming from the stairs. The "orcs" found themselves deceived.
