Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

Several awakened ones were led to the second floor by the housekeeper.

"Please rest in your room for a while." After the butler finished speaking, he politely closed the door for them.

The castle originally prepared a room for each of them, but in this case, it is safer to choose a group.So all four of them gathered together in a room, communicating in low voices.

"Just now, our luck was really good...I didn't expect that piece of meat steak to be really bad." Song Zan leaned on the door panel and let out a long sigh of relief, "There is no end to the road."

"Actually, God didn't help us much. At least not just now." The Spanish awakened Garcia raised his face, showing a slightly tired smile, "I used my talent before."

"What talent?" Song Zan asked curiously.

"'Five-sense settings'." Garcia said, "I can impose special five-sense settings on an item. It sounds a bit complicated... You can understand it as labeling. For example, just now, I ate at the police If there is a 'deterioration' label on the piece of steak, people who touch the steak next will receive perceptual information related to 'deterioration': for example, smell the stink of the steak, see the different color of the steak after it has deteriorated Wait... Humans are creatures that rely on the five senses to survive, and sometimes, controlling the five senses is equivalent to controlling a person's thinking."

All in all, his talent can confuse perception.

He can make a person drink a whole glass of boiling water in the hot sun without warning - because he can make that person think that he is drinking a glass of ice water that is cold to the touch.

This talent is similar to hypnosis, and it is a rare spiritual talent.And at present, it seems that it is not only effective for ordinary humans, but also effective for NPCs in the illusion.

"I always feel that the way that young master looked at us just now made people panic." Song Zan said as he rubbed his arms, "Did he...did he deliberately trick us before?"

"You think too much, what do you mean playing with us?" Garcia said, "Generally, NPCs resident in the illusion have limited cognitive ability. As long as there are no major mistakes, 'we are invited to investigate the case. The 'consulting detective' premise will be firmly ingrained in their minds—meaning, they won't deliberately suspect why we're here. So why does he have to put us in the way?"

"Actually, there is another possibility." Domingo pondered for a moment, then said, "He may be related to the suicide case of the maid Sophie... Or, he is the real murderer, so he tried every means to prevent us from entering the castle. "

But Song Zan didn't think so.

His intuition told him: the other party was just playing with them.

What he said before, "You all performed wonderfully", also obviously meant something—the other party seemed to have seen through the little tricks they used.

But is this possible?

"Now it seems that the main thread of this illusion is closely related to the suicide case. But there is one more tricky point: the woman who hanged herself seems to have been dead for several days, and it is estimated that even the body has been buried." Domingo was tired He took out his cigarette case, pulled out one, and lit it, "In this case, of course, you can't expect the scene of the suicide to be preserved completely. Even, if the woman really died of homicide, the murderer even has enough time Erase all evidence related to him."

"...It's all like this, why did they invite the police and detectives to come?" Song Zan said a little unhappy.

"Didn't you listen to what the steward said before? This case has affected the reputation of their castle... I guess they have reached a deal with the police station. Please ask the police and detectives to come over, and it is best to conclude that' this The conclusion that it was purely an accident was here to help them clear up their suspicions." Domingo put the cigarette case back into his pocket with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Can hanging himself be a simple accident?" Song Zan twitched his lips, "Will anyone believe this kind of statement?"

"No matter what others think, we still take the investigation of the truth as our top priority. Anyway, now that the police officers have fallen, we are just free to play." Domingo said.

"Knock knock knock."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

The Awakened instantly turned their attention to the wooden door.

"Gentlemen, good night." A clear and soft female voice spoke, "I'll bring you hot water."

They were silent for a while, and after exchanging glances, Garcia walked to the door and opened it.

It was a beautiful blonde maid.They had seen her just now in the drawing-room, where she was standing beside that Master Morandon.

After the door opened, the maid came in and put the two pots of hot water in the cabinet.

"Thank you." Song Zan said.

The maid's expression remained unchanged, and she bowed to them, folded her hands on her waist and lowered her eyebrows, and said, "You are polite. Actually, I am here to convey a piece of advice to you under the order of the young master—" The clock will strike midnight. Until then, please return to your rooms'."

After finishing speaking, without stopping for a second, she turned and left the guest room.

Awakened: "..."

wall clock?

They glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the guest room.The pointer is ticking, and the time it points to is 09:30 in the evening.

"What do you mean?" Song Zan said, "Besides, how does that young master know that we are not in his own room?"

"Why do I think... is he reminding us?" Garcia touched his chin, "It seems that we still need to sleep in the separate room at night."

"Just go back to your room before midnight—does that mean that we can move around freely before midnight?" Domingo, who has the most experience in the dungeon, has already begun to solve the problem, "Our investigation will start tomorrow, but we should Accompanied by people in the castle, the degree of freedom will be affected. We can visit this castle at night and collect information!"

Song Zan was speechless for a moment: "Why do I feel that what she just said didn't mean that..."

Make them stay in their rooms at midnight, without saying they can wander around the castle before midnight!

"Be brave, we are awakened." Domingo patted Song Zan on the shoulder, "As long as those servants don't find out."

Song Zan: QAQ

Song Zan turned his gaze for help to Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin looked thoughtful all night, and didn't take part in everyone's discussion, but he heard everything they said just now.After receiving Song Zan's distress signal, Zhao Lin said: "We can go. Let Song Zan forget it, let him stay here. If he encounters something again, I'm afraid it will accelerate his mutation."

The two Spanish awakeners had no objections.

They quickly completed the division of labor: Domingo went to the woods to investigate the maid's suicide scene, and Garcia went to the castle cemetery to find the maid's body-his talent of "setting the five senses" can hide the traces that the grave has been excavated.

Next it's Zhao's turn.

Zhao Lin said calmly, "I'll go to other places in the castle, try to get familiar with the terrain as soon as possible, and see if there are any other clues by the way."

After the exchange, they took advantage of the night to set off separately.In order not to alarm others, the path they chose was to climb out from the balcony.

After all, he is a high-level awakened person, so there is nothing to say about his physical fitness.Song Zan, who was standing in front of the window, was amazed by their vigor and strength: it was like a realistic version of Assassin's Creed.Seeing Song Zan's blood boiling, he felt a little regretful that he could not join their ranks.

Song Zan watched his teammates rush towards the predetermined direction—after all, their time was limited.But to his surprise, there was only Zhaolin, who didn't climb down, but climbed up.

Song Zan: "..."

He remembered that there were no servants living on the third floor, which was the residence of the castle master.

It was also the territory of that uncertain young master.

Song Zan: "!!!"

Boss, are you so reckless?We said before that the young master doesn't look like a good person, maybe he is the boss of this illusion!You go up and attack the boss at night, aren't you too anxious!
