In the open space outside the castle, the middle-aged woman Li Lan slipped and fell staggeringly on the wet cobblestone path. The flesh of her arm was scratched, but she rolled over on the spot without taking a second look, and then panicked. Get up and run forward.

As soon as her front feet left, an ax rubbed against her scalp and fell to the ground with the sound of broken wind. The ax blade rubbed against the stone violently, shooting out sparks.

A pale and slender hand stretched out, and the maid in black clothes and white apron picked up the ax again, and chased towards the middle-aged woman expressionlessly.

"Huh...huh..."

The middle-aged woman was panting quickly, and she felt that her physical strength was rapidly draining.

After breakfast, she came to the garden to start today's "work" as usual. While thinking about the truth of this copy, she was full of anxiety about her private meeting with Vanessa later.

She always felt that this time was different from yesterday morning, and it must be very dangerous, otherwise, why did she have to let them go one by one?

I don't know what's going on in Gongzi County. If possible, it's best for him to kill Vanessa directly - everyone is dead, and of course there is no need for the players behind to go.

The middle-aged woman thought so, but the anxiety in her heart did not ease.

At this moment, she saw a maid walking towards this side.

The heart of the middle-aged woman suddenly rose - did she come to tell herself to go over?Why is it my turn so soon?Has Gongzi County failed?

The maid walked up to the middle-aged woman, looked at her blankly, and moved her mouth after a while: "...Assistant gardener?"

The middle-aged woman nodded and asked nervously, "What's the matter?"

However, at the moment she nodded, her peripheral vision inadvertently glanced down, only to realize that the maid was holding a rusty ax in her hand.

not good!

Without even thinking about it, the middle-aged woman instinctively raised the flower scissors in her hand, and the next second the ax had already slammed on the flower scissors.

A huge force struck, and the middle-aged woman's hands were numb from the shock, and the flower scissors flew out.

Unable to resist, the middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and turned around and ran away.

Thanks to the fact that she has been in the garden for the past two days, she is quite familiar with the terrain of the garden. With the help of the cover of flowers and trees, the middle-aged woman has been dealing with the maid for more than ten minutes.

However, with the passage of time and physical strength, the middle-aged woman ran slower and slower, and was almost hit by an ax several times.

What to do, who will help her...

When she fell on the icy ground again, the middle-aged woman was already full of despair.

The maid raised her ax and walked towards her step by step, as if the footsteps of death were approaching.

Death is like a bat, spreading its wings and casting a huge shadow on her body.

The middle-aged woman thought of her daughter's immature face with tears in it.She always lies quietly on the hospital bed, pale and thin because of illness, and the worsening cancer makes her very painful, but she is very sensible and never speaks. Every time she talks on the phone, she just sweetly Ask, Mom, when will you come back, my daughter misses you.

The middle-aged woman also misses her daughter very much, thinking about it all the time, if she can, she would like to stay by her daughter's side day and night.

But she needs to work and earn a lot of money so that she can afford the hospital bills and barely survive her daughter.

This time, she had just negotiated a big deal and got a commission that she never dreamed of. The leader was happy and generously granted her a few days of paid leave, and she was ready to go home in a hurry.

But never expected that the seemingly ordinary train did not bring her back to her daughter, but threw her into such a terrifying world.

No, I can't die, my daughter is still waiting for me to go back!

At this moment, the middle-aged woman rekindled her desire to survive. She had already divorced her husband, and her daughter had no father. If she died here, what would her daughter do? !

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and tried to stand up again, but failed.

Unable to stand up, she had to crawl, her hands were ground to bloody flesh by the stones on the road, all her fingernails were broken off, and streaks of blood snaked across the road.

Regardless of the tears on her face, the middle-aged woman crawled forward desperately. Even if no one came to save her, as long as there was still one percent hope, she had to find a way to survive!

The ax fell again, and there was nothing else. This time, the middle-aged woman could only block it with her hands.

"Ahhh-!!!"

The palm was cut off from the wrist with ease, and the blood dripped onto the nearby bushes like splashed ink. The middle-aged woman wailed in pain, and at the same time, her other hand took the opportunity to grab the maid's hair and yank it down fiercely!

Caught off guard, the maid staggered and fell, and the ax fell out of her hand and fell into the nearby grass.

The middle-aged woman stepped forward and pointed the blood-spitting severed wrist at the maid's face. A large amount of warm and viscous blood splashed into the maid's eyes, completely covering her vision.

The maid stretched out her hand to wipe it, but the middle-aged woman didn't give her this chance. She knocked her down with all her strength with her shoulders, and then pressed her whole body onto her body, leading her to roll towards the axe.

In the process of rolling, the maid's body fell downwards, and her neck just hit the ax blade.

There was no blood, only a disgusting stench gushing out from the wound. The middle-aged woman kept doing nothing, exerting force with her elbow, pressing down hard on the back of the maid's neck!

"Kick-"

The ax blade severed the neck bone, leaving only a thin layer of flesh connecting the head and neck. The maid's eyes were still rolling, as if she didn't understand what happened.

"... Nannan is still waiting for me. I can't die, so I can only let you die." The middle-aged woman murmured.

This time she completely lost strength, and in addition to the massive blood loss during the fight just now, she was cold and weak.

Tears flowed down her cheeks again, and the middle-aged woman fell on her back in the grass, when she suddenly heard someone walking towards her quickly.

After a while, a figure appeared in her sight.

"Sister Lan, what are you?!"

Fu Qitang was still carrying the RPG on his shoulders, and he reached out to help her up with a worried expression on his face.

"Leave me alone, let's see if that maid is completely dead." The middle-aged woman said weakly.

Fu Qitang turned his head and looked a few steps away, only to see a maid whose head had fallen to her shoulder trying to pull an ax out of her neck.

This scene was really weird, especially since the maid's eyes had turned to the corners of her eyes, and she was staring straight at Fu Qitang.

Taking out the crossbow and shooting arrows at her forehead, throat and heart, Fu Qitang turned to the middle-aged woman and said, "I'm dead, don't worry."

After bandaging the middle-aged woman's wound, Fu Qitang helped her to the open space in front of the castle, where Lin Fang and He Zhizhou were already waiting.

He Zhizhou was also badly injured, his abdomen was covered with blood, he was roughly wrapped with a white sheet, and the blood was still oozing out.

Seeing Fu Qitang approaching, He Zhizhou forced a smile: "Lin Fang was still worried about you just now, afraid that you didn't come out."

"No, I went to have a look when I heard the movement in the garden, and I happened to meet Sister Lan." Fu Qitang said, "Sister Lan is very powerful, she killed a maid who was controlled by a ghost."

"Amazing." He Zhizhou said, coughing again and again.

After coughing, he asked again: "You said the ghost is the castle itself, what's going on?"

Fu Qitang looked at the ancient castle in front of him. Under the morning light, it looked majestic and vicissitudes, but it was not dilapidated. Compared with the first time they saw it a few days ago, it was completely new.

"To be precise, there are two different ghosts in different time periods in this dungeon, but what we encountered was the most hidden 'castle spirit'." Fu Qitang said.

"According to the information found, this ancient castle was built 330 years ago, when the Homer family was at its first peak. In the following 200 years, the family declined day by day. In order to revitalize the family, Alexander Homer , obtained the method of summoning evil spirits and making deals with them from the witch Edra, engraved a magic circle in a basement of the east tower, and used the descendants of the Homer family as sacrifices, in exchange for wealth and power from the evil spirits The first sacrifice is the child in Edora's womb.

"As a human being, Edra died, but her soul did not disappear. Instead, she merged with the evil spirit and took revenge on the Homer family for the next 100 years. The specific performance is that the 'sacrifice' is no longer It's up to the Patriarch, but the Fusion chooses it themselves. That's how Camille's youngest daughter, Betsy, was chosen.

"As a demon hunter, Camille couldn't tolerate the death of her own child. She found the 'Sacrifice Land', fought the fusion body there, and finally destroyed the 'power medium' to which the fusion body was attached. The fusion body was naturally wiped out for the necklace worn by Edra.

"But what Camille didn't know was that although she got rid of one devil, she inadvertently activated another devil, which is the consciousness of the castle itself.

"If a thousand-year-old stone can become a spirit, and an old object that has been handed down for several generations will slowly awaken consciousness, then of course the castle that has stood for more than 300 years can. It was very weak at first, and had to hide itself to avoid being discovered by the fusion body After swallowing. But when the fusion body was eliminated by Camille, it gained unprecedented freedom and room for growth.

"It's not an evil spirit. It doesn't need to abide by the previous contract. It honestly eats a descendant of the Homer family every ten years. In order to maintain its brilliance and restore itself to the most gorgeous and popular in the past. Like the appearance, it can eat whoever it wants, housekeepers, maids, gardeners, coachmen, even tourists who come to visit and villagers who stray here. Every time it 'eats' a person, its power will increase by one point, It's getting closer to what it was at its peak."

"By the time we come, it can already control and affect everything in the castle as we like. So the long-dead butler can act normally like a living person, the hanging secret door will suddenly fall, and the original good staircase will suddenly collapse .

"In addition to this, there are some details. For example, after it 'eat' the fitness coach, it has enough energy to restore the relief on the wall of the restaurant. If I am not wrong, there should be some pictures left in the studio when the castle was first built. The painting that came down was used as a reminder to the players; and yesterday morning it wanted to use the collapse of the stairs to kill me. But because its own structure was damaged, its own strength would also be lost, so it was almost impossible to even serve dinner.”

Fu Qitang's tone was indifferent, his eyes were fixed on the castle more than ten meters away while speaking, and his brows were slightly frowned.

It wasn't until a figure running very fast appeared in the corridor on the second floor that Fu Qitang felt relieved.

"Come out." He whispered, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

The other three followed his gaze, only to see Gong Zijun in the corridor turning over and jumping directly from the second floor.After landing, not only did he not use the rolling action to unload the force, but he ran straight here without even pausing.

"...Is he still human?" The middle-aged woman muttered to herself with a surprised face.

"Of course, it's just that they are not ordinary people." Fu Qitang and Yourong said honestly.

However, at this moment, the castle that had been left behind by Gong Zijun suddenly trembled violently, followed by another tremor.

The earth began to shake, and countless hideous and terrifying cracks, like centipedes, quickly extended from the ground under everyone's feet to the distance.

The turf fell off, revealing the dark brown moist soil below. An irresistible force was coming from the depths of the ground, and the originally flat ground was raised high...

[36: Oops!The castle comes alive! ! ]

[45: This is because the true face was exposed, so I became angry from embarrassment, speechless, how can I fight this!No matter how powerful the mad wolf is, it can't withstand the earthquake]

[14: Run, run, run! ]

[60: What a fart!The dungeon won’t end if you don’t kill this thing, find out its conscious body and beat it to death as soon as possible]

[23: The upstairs is easy to say, do you know where the conscious body is! ! ! ]

[11: Why are you panicking, we mad wolves haven't opened up yet, so sit down! ]

"No, it's about to get up!" He Zhizhou pointed at the castle not far away and exclaimed, then turned his head and ran wildly, without any sign of being seriously injured, "Stay away first, what kind of fight with the rock giant, There is no chance of winning!"

The originally pale face of the middle-aged woman became even uglier. Her lips were trembling, and beads of sweat fell like rain. The whole person was deeply shocked by this scene.

"careful!"

There was another violent shaking, and a rift suddenly appeared at the middle-aged woman's feet. Lin Fang quickly pushed her away. The next second, the rift suddenly rose up like a shark preying on it, and then closed instantly. Countless stone chips flew, huge The sound of the impact went straight to the eardrums, making people almost nauseous.

"The tower... the tower fell..." the middle-aged woman said out of tune.

Fu Qitang squinted his eyes, and saw the towers on the left and right sides of the castle collapsed under the cover of thick smoke and dust, and then they were slowly lifted up like two arms, and swept towards everyone!

"Run!" Lin Fang yelled, pulled up the middle-aged woman and ran away. Seeing that Fu Qitang hadn't followed, he turned his head and shouted anxiously, "Little Fu!"

"You go first!" Fu Qitang said calmly.

Amid the billowing smoke and dust, he struggled to maintain his balance on the violently shaking ground while avoiding huge boulders flying from all directions.

A deep shadow came from behind, and the air and wind were torn apart. Fu Qitang had no time to look back, and subconsciously dodged to the side, only to hear a "boom", a huge square rock rubbed against the corner of his clothes down.

"It came just fine."

Fu Qitang took the RPG that had been in his hand for a long time and turned around with one hand, put his body under the cover of the rock, and turned the gun to aim.

There is no need to find the consciousness of the castle. Since destroying the physical structure can weaken its power, it is right to fight.

"Run so slowly... Wait for another ten seconds."

Raising the muzzle of the gun slightly and ready to shoot at any time, Fu Qitang said softly with a smile.

When the countdown reached the fifth time, a figure suddenly burst out from the smoke.

As if there was some kind of tacit understanding in nature, Gong Zijun should have passed directly beside the boulder, but when passing by, he suddenly turned over and jumped up, and then landed lightly beside Fu Qitang.

"Am I late?" he asked with a smile.

Fu Qitang glanced at him, saw that his clothes were only covered with a thin layer of soil, and there were no other injuries on his body, so he turned his gaze back, and shook his head while resolutely shooting, "No, just in time. "

"I was a little delayed in arranging things just now."

A grenade whizzed across the air, and accurately landed on the corridor, causing a burst of flames.

"What's the arrangement?" Fu Qitang turned around and asked.

Gong Zijun didn't answer, but instead asked a seemingly insignificant question.

"Would you like to see an old house on fire?"

"?"

A smile emerged from the face of Gong Zijun, the sky that was originally covered by smoke seemed to suddenly brighten, and the earthquake caused by the castle rising tens of meters away became irrelevant.

The deafening voice quickly receded from the side.

Fu Qitang only felt that his hand holding the gun was pulled up, and then a square plastic shell was stuffed over.

"This is... a detonator?"

"Yeah." Gong Zijun nodded meekly with a harmless expression.

"So, are you laying out what I think?"

"Yeah, it seems that we have a good understanding."

Fu Qitang suddenly smiled, "Then you count down."

The three numbers were poured out from the cracks of the lips with the breath, like a gentle whisper.

Fu Qitang pressed the button.

Explosions soared into the sky in the distance.

All will return to dust.
