The sky gradually darkened, and at night, the castle exuded a gloomy atmosphere, and the courtyard was quiet, only the rustling sound of the black cat passing by.

"Meow--"

Qing Ge stood by the window, glanced at the sky, turned around and said to everyone: "Then go out and search for news, if you encounter any danger, remember to call someone."

"Ah."

Everyone nodded one after another, and then dispersed, searching in various rooms and corridors in the castle.

There are no modern electric lights in this ancient castle. Candles are lit on the walls on both sides of the corridor. The candlelight is dim and bleak, casting an inexplicable sense of gloom on the surrounding shadows.

Qing Ge groped and walked into a room that looked like a kitchen.

"It's so dark..."

Qing Ge took out the candle that had just been taken from the wall of the corridor, and lit it up. The dim candle light illuminated the small area.

"here……"

Qing Ge frowned and looked around, feeling something was wrong.

Although there are few people living in this castle, there are at least a few people, the mayor and his wife, the housekeeper and the nanny, and some scary people and children, but the strange thing is that no one has cooked in the kitchen. trace.

He reached out and touched the white porcelain dinner plate on the wall, and there was a layer of dust on his fingers.

"Don't they all eat?"

Qing Ge thought strangely.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a pot in the middle. The lid of the pot was only half covered, and there seemed to be something inside.

Is it leftovers?

Relying on the dim candlelight, Qing Ge slowly approached there...

The lid covered the mouth of the pot, and only a dark shadow could be vaguely seen inside.

A round black shadow that looks like...

Qing Ge's heart suddenly felt hairy. He stretched out his hand, wanting to open the lid and see clearly what's inside...

"what are you doing?"

A hoarse voice came from behind Qingge.

"!"

Qing Ge was startled, turned his head abruptly, and the candlelight instantly illuminated behind him.

Grandma Pei's sallow face appeared in front of Qing Ge unexpectedly.

Her eyes were staring straight, without any brilliance, not even the flame of the candle left traces in her pupils, Grandma Pei's face was covered with mottled wrinkles, under the light of the yellow candle, she looked gloomy Extremely.

"I... I just take a look..."

Granny Pei's appearance looked scary, Qing Ge swallowed and said.

"There's nothing to see, let's go."

Grandma Pei said, and then groped, walked up to Qing Ge, and put the lid on the pot with her hand.

"What's in there?"

Qing Ge couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

"This..." Granny Pei casually lifted the lid again, and gave Qing Ge a look.

In it was a pig's head.

Qing Ge breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

Grandma Pei put the lid on again, and at the moment when the pig's head was covered, Qing Ge glanced at it, as if she found some... tooth marks on it?

"Young man, can you take me back to my room?"

Before Qing Ge could think about it, Grandma Pei said to him.

"Ah... oh, okay."

Qing Ge was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Shall I help you?"

"No, you just need to walk in front." Grandma Pei said, "I can hear your footsteps, just follow your footsteps."

Qing Ge led Granny Pei to walk in another direction step by step.

Granny Pei's footsteps followed him all the time, and the two people's footsteps intertwined. Qing Ge only felt that there seemed to be a cold gaze from behind, falling on his back, which made him shiver uncontrollably.

Is this Granny Pei really blind?

Qing Ge suddenly began to think about this question.

He thought, when he got to the kitchen, he was clearly walking lightly and barely making a sound. Even if Granny Pei's hearing is sensitive, how would she know where she was?

Moreover, she was elusive, and when she got behind her, she didn't notice it at all.

Could it be... pretending to be blind?

Thinking of this possibility, Qing Ge's heart shuddered, and he turned to look at Grandma Pei.

The old woman still followed him step by step, slowly but closely.

Qing Ge's heart skipped a beat, he quickly stopped, stretched out his hand, and waved it in front of Granny Pei's eyes.

His fingers were very close to Grandma Pei's eyes. If most people suddenly saw a pair of hands appearing in front of their eyes, they would instinctively blink subconsciously.

But Qing Ge miscalculated.

Grandma Pei didn't even blink her eyes, she didn't even seem to know that his fingers were dangling in front of her, she continued to walk forward.

Her eyes were about to touch Qing Ge's fingertips.

Qing Ge took her hand back.

He must be blind...

When the two children were in the courtyard, they said that if they didn't hide in the room at night, these people would attack others, Qing Ge didn't quite believe it.

The so-called danger should be for these children.

And they are all adults, even more than ten levels of professionals.What about the people in this castle?Either suffering from hidden diseases, or old, weak, sick and disabled, it really doesn't look like they have any offensive power.

Qing Ge secretly glanced at the old woman who was following behind him, thinking to himself.

It was very quiet in the corridor, only the sound of footsteps on the wooden floor could be heard.

"Here we are, Grandma Pei."

Under the guidance of Grandma Pei, Qing Ge came to her room smoothly.

"Thank you, boy."

Grandma Pei said.

"Let me go in with you." Qing Ge waved his hand and said.

"Thank you then."

Qing Ge pushed open the door and saw a white candle on the bedside cabinet in the room.

He picked up the white candle, lit it with the candle he took from the corridor, and put it beside him.

The candle placed beside Grandma Pei's bed was much brighter than the candles in the corridor. After lighting it, the whole room became quite bright.

Qing Ge took the opportunity to glance around.

Grandma Pei's room is very tidy, except for the necessary things, there are almost no decorative things.

Also, for an invisible old man, no matter how many decorations are placed in the room, it is useless.

He helped Granny Pei to the bed, thought for a while, and asked, "By the way, Grandma, can you tell me about that Linda nanny?"

"Nanny Linda..."

Grandma Pei sighed: "Oh, she is also a miserable woman... She is a neighbor who grew up with Madam. After Madam married the mayor, Linda followed Madam to this old castle to take care of the family. My son's diet and daily life, I thought that I would have a good life in the future, but I didn't expect..."

"You know what Nanny Linda likes about the mayor?"

Qing Ge asked straightforwardly.

Grandma Pei was stunned for a moment, "How do you know about this?"

It seemed she did know.

"We found Linda's nanny's diary in her room." Qing Ge said truthfully.

Grandma Pei was silent for a while: "Oh, what a miserable woman..."

She didn't answer Qing Ge's words.

It seems that there is something wrong with this nanny Linda.

Whether it was Grandma Pei or the mayor's wife, when they mentioned this nanny, they always talked about him.

Qing Ge wanted to continue asking, but suddenly heard a "boom" from the window.

Startled, he looked up and found a little black cat standing by the window.

It's the briquettes I saw in the garden.

The briquette is completely black, and its black hair almost blends with the night outside, but it has a pair of green pupils, and the candlelight from the room casts a gloomy green light on its eyes.

Those cat eyes seem to understand human nature, looking straight at Qing Ge, like a human being poking his head out of the window to look in.Touching those green cat pupils, an inexplicable chill suddenly surged in Qing Ge's heart.

"Who is that kitten?"

"You said briquettes..." Granny Pei said leisurely: "That is the pet raised by the young master and miss. It has been living in the castle for more than half a year. This cat is worry-free and easy to keep. Master and madam He didn't say anything."

If there is anything in this dungeon that looks more like a monster, it should be this kitten.

Could it be that the final boss of this dungeon is this cat?

possible.

Qing Ge thought to himself.

"Okay, young man, you go out, I'm going to rest."

Grandma Pei coughed twice, climbed onto the bed slowly, and said to Qing Ge.

Qing Ge turned around, "Okay, you rest first."

He turned his head and looked at the window again, only to find that the black cat had disappeared.

So far, everything seems to be normal.

Grandma Pei didn't show any aggressiveness either, she was just an ordinary blind old woman.

I really don't have a clue... I don't know if the other members of the team have found anything.

Qing Ge closed the door softly, thinking about going to the crab roe glutinous rice balls and the others to ask about the situation.

The door was gently closed, and the candlelight from the room could still be seen through the crack of the door below, illuminating Qing Ge's shoes.

But having said that, it is too early to go to bed at this time.

Qing Ge watched the candlelight from the room go out, thinking that Grandma Pei had already fallen asleep, thinking strangely in her heart.

Forget it, go back and find your teammates.He turned and walked down the corridor.

……

Wait a moment! !

Qing Ge suddenly came back to his senses.

Not right.

He seemed to have overlooked something just now...

Grandma Pei is blind, and she can't see, why did she blow out the candles?

Moreover, after Qing Ge lit the candle beside the bed, she casually put it beside her, instead of putting it in the original position.

Even if it is a matter of habit, how could Grandma Pei find the position of the candle accurately...

Thinking of this, Qing Ge couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

Grandma Pei...isn't she blind?

Qing Ge suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of Grandma Pei's room.

Lost the light source, the corridor here is a deep darkness, like an endless tunnel, at the end is a puzzle that cannot be solved like a thick fog.

He took a deep breath and decided to go back and have a look.

Standing at the door of Grandma Pei's room again, Qing Ge knocked on the door: "Grandma, are you asleep?"

no respond.

fell asleep so quickly?impossible.

Qing Ge hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and opened the door of the room.

The room was pitch black, nothing could be seen, there was no sound, it was silent.

Qing Ge swallowed, relit the candle in her hand, and walked in gently.

In the dim candlelight, he could see a figure lying on Grandma Pei's bed, covered with a quilt, rising and falling with his breath.

Looks like he's asleep...

Qing Ge walked forward slowly, raised the candle in her hand, and pointed it at Granny Pei's face.

Grandma Pei's face was calm, her eyes were closed tightly. Under the candlelight, her sallow face looked like a dead corpse. The deep wrinkles on her face were cast into shadows by the candlelight, winding densely on her face like ravines. meandering.

Qing Ge moved a little closer, pointed the candlelight at Granny Pei's face, trying to see if she was blind or not.

next moment.

Grandma Pei's eyes suddenly opened!

Her turbid eyes stared straight at Qing Ge, her eyes were full of vicious sternness, and even her whole face became ferocious and terrifying!

She sat up abruptly, and rushed towards the stupefied Qing Ge...
