[Unlimited Stream] Book of Horror

Chu Yangbing didn't dare to stay on the negative floor for a long time, so he immediately went back to the first floor through the shaft.

Facts proved that Chu Yangbing's reaction was correct, because less than a minute after he returned to the corridor on the first floor, the sound of footsteps and the strong smell of blood came over his face.

Chu Yangbing repeated his old trick and hid in a room and closed the door. Fortunately, the maid hurried past and did not find Chu Yangbing.

Chu Yangbing waited in the room for a while to confirm that the maid had already descended to the first floor, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and fled directly towards the way he came.On the way back, Chu Yangbing took a special look at the place where he, Lilith, and Maria were washed away. It was a mess, but there was no sign of Lilith.

Dawn was approaching, so Chu Yangbing could only return to his room in a hurry.

The room was as dark as ever, and the gorgeous decoration was empty and bleak under the darkness.After Chu Yangbing pushed the door open, he turned and closed the door with lingering fear, then went to the dressing table and lit the candlestick.

The dancing halo of the candle added a touch of vitality to everything under it. The metal candlesticks were illuminated with brilliance, the scarlet velvet carpet was surging like a pool of blood, and the Salome cups hung on the walls He kissed John's head with the tray in his hand, and the red roses dotted around silently melted into the field of vision, and even the angel wings carved on the corner of the dressing table seemed to flap.

Chu Yangbing looked at his own face in the huge round mirror on the dressing table, and the death images of Elizabeth, Diana and Angelina appeared in front of his eyes in turn.

Today is the third night in the castle, Chu Yangbing tried to sort out what happened tonight.

At the dinner party, Angelina was stabbed by Lilith and then accepted the invitation of the Earl of Cappadocia, who was taken away by the Earl of Cappadocia.

Chu Yangbing, Lilith, and Maria wanted to follow but were stopped by the housekeeper, and then went to the execution room on the lower floor, but Angelina's body was not found.

Afterwards, the maid went to the basement floor, and after the maid returned to the first floor, Chu Yangbing found Angelina's body in the execution room.

So, who killed Angelina?Is it a maid?

If it was a maid, did the maid kill Angelina out of her own will or was she ordered by the Count of Cappadocia?Rejecting the Count of Cappadocia would kill him, but accepting the invitation?

Judging from Angelina's fate, she would die if she accepted the earl's invitation.

So what should people like Chu Yangbing do?Can I just pray every night tremblingly that I will not be invited by the earl?

No, not right.

Chu Yangbing looked at his own face in the mirror with a dignified expression.

If you think about it differently, accepting the earl's invitation won't kill you, then... who killed Angelina?If it was a maid, did the maid really obey the Count of Cappadocia?

In the dark Cappadocia castle, is there any other murderous intent locked on these "noble ladies" who came to visit?

The more Chu Yangbing thought about it, the more wrong he became, but now there is not much time left before dawn, the risk of going out is too great.

Chu Yangbing looked in the mirror and suddenly had an idea.

He is the invited 'noble lady', and Vivian guessed that more than one 'noble lady' was invited, so will those previous noble ladies also be arranged in this room?Will they leave any clues?Although he can't go out, he hasn't explored this room well.

Chu Yangbing stood up decisively, holding a candlestick and began to look for possible clues.

According to the idea, first exclude all places that may be touched by servants in the castle, such as tabletops, bed sheets, clothes in the wardrobe, and so on.

The servants will definitely come to clean the room regularly, and the chances of leaving nicks on the table or somewhere to be found and destroyed are too great, and bed sheets, cosmetics, clothes in the wardrobe, etc. are all items that will be replaced, let alone impossible Leave a mark on it.

What about the bottom of the bed and the inside of the wardrobe?

Chu Yangbing, a big man, had no scruples, he just lay down on the ground holding the candle, and looked under the bed by the candle flame.In the end, he almost set the carpet on fire, but he didn't see anything. Just to be sure, Chu Yang Bing reached in and touched it for a long time, but there was still nothing.

Chu Yangbing stood up again and walked to the closet, took out all the clothes in the closet and threw them on the bed. He walked into the closet and carefully inspected every inch of wood in the closet, but there was still nothing.

Chu Yangbing frowned, and even tried to move the whole cabinet out to see if there was anything on the side of the cabinet next to the wall.

Chu Yangbing put the candlestick on the ground, rolled up his sleeves and pulled the wardrobe out, but after exhausting all his efforts, he could only move a gap between the solid wood cabinet and the wall.Chu Yangbing saw that it was not enough, so he gave up.

After a lot of tossing, he was exhausted and sweaty, but there were no clues.

Is he wrong?Or have all the clues left behind been destroyed?

Chu Yangbing sat back in front of the mirror, wait, he should think carefully.

If it was him, what would he do if he wanted to leave some clues in this room for someone to find later?

If it's him... wait!who is he?He is now 'Alice', the 'Daughter' who was invited to be a guest!

If the ones who left the clues were really the noble girls from before, they had experienced real aristocratic education, and it was impossible for them to lie down on the ground and write clues under the bed carelessly in gorgeous skirts, and it was impossible Relying on the power of a woman to pull his wardrobe that a man can't pull.

Moreover, the only lighting equipment in the entire castle is candles, and there are no clues where the light of the candles does not reach.

So……

Chu Yangbing sat in front of the dressing table, his eyes were attracted by the huge round mirror in front of him.

He reached out to touch the round mirror, held the bottom of the mirror and lifted it up lightly.

With a soft 'click', the whole round mirror was removed from the dressing table.

Chu Yangbing turned the round mirror to the back. The back of the round mirror was a thin layer of brass. He grabbed the edge of the brass and applied force, and the brass piece was removed.On the inside of the brass sheet, a line of words was written.

【I hate the will, and I hate the grave; instead of begging the world for a tear, I would rather invite the crow to drain the blood in my dirty skin. 】

Chu Yangbing knew this line of poetry, which also came from Charles Baudelaire's collection of poems "Flowers of Evil", and the words about "Blood Night Fright" in "Book of Thriller" also came from "Evil Poetry of Flowers.

Chu Yangbing silently put the brass piece back on the round mirror, and then put the round mirror back on the bracket of the dressing table.

Sure enough, Chu Yangbing guessed it right, the place where the lady usually stays is not on the bed, but in front of the dressing table.Cosmetics and various accessories will be replaced, but this round mirror is unlikely.Although there will be servants who remove the round mirror to wipe it, it is impossible to think of removing the brass plate on the back of the round mirror.

Chu Yangbing could almost imagine that maybe not long ago, there was a real noble lady who was sitting anxiously in front of the dressing table, leaving clues on the back of the mirror by the dim candlelight.Is she dead or alive?Do you manage to get out of the castle, or become one of the miserable corpses in the underground torture chamber?

Chu Yangbing didn't know, and would never know.

But the direction of this poem from "The Flower of Evil" is already very clear.

Chu Yangbing stretched out his hand and lightly touched his own face in the mirror.

For the fourth afternoon tea party, all the 'ladies' who were still alive were present, but there was one more empty chair than the last afternoon tea party.

"Alice." Lilith's complexion was not very good. She first asked Chu Yangbing, "Did you go to the execution room yesterday? Do you have anything to say?"

"I saw Angelina's body. She was hung upside down in the middle of the execution room, her head was torn in two." Chu Yangbing paused and asked, "Are you okay? I went back yesterday I didn't see you when I was there."

Lilith twitched the corners of her mouth with a half-smile, and said, "It's not a big problem, but be aware that the maid is extremely powerful, so be careful when confronting her in the future."

Vivian frowned upon hearing this, and asked, "What's wrong? What maid?"

Chu Yangbing briefly explained to Vivian what they had experienced yesterday, but while talking, Chu Yangbing was attracted by Mary.

I don't know if it was his illusion, he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Mary's black face under the veil, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"That's it."

Chu Yangbing pulled back his attention and finished talking about what they met yesterday.

"And I also found clues in my room that may have been left by other noble ladies, which are part of a poem."

"I hate the will, and I hate the grave; instead of begging the world for a tear, I'd rather invite the crow to drain the blood from my dirty skin!"

Hearing this, Vivian frowned, and he said, "Is that so? From this point of view, Angelina may not have been killed by the Earl of Cappadocia."

Vivian said: "Yesterday, Ruth and I successfully sneaked into the butler's room, and saw this passage in the butler's memo."

[The ones to be invited this time are indeed distinguished guests,

But why did the master invite her?

She is both a leech and a gadfly.

She never drank blood like wine,

She will corrupt all flowers only for herself. 】

"This passage can be used to refer to Angelina, but..." Vivian looked at Mary dangerously, and said, "It can also be used to refer to one of us, for example, this Miss Mary."

Everyone's eyes were drawn to Mary, and Chu Yangbing finally discovered where the strong sense of disobedience in Mary came from.

Mary's face, which was as delicate as a rose under the net gauze yesterday, is gradually aging visible to the naked eye, from the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes to the loose flesh.The facial features are full of decay, and the skin is as dry as bark.

And as time passed, Mary's face became more and more terrifying, so terrible that even the black gauze couldn't hide her decayed and terrifying face.Like a withered and rotting leaf in a flowerbed, she passed from the prime of summer directly into the decaying gray of winter, without knowing it herself.

Today, I was selected by the director to chat for more than two hours, and ORZ could have been updated earlier.
