Chapter 25: hint
The players made a commotion and quickly quieted down. Fortunately, it was just a dance mask. Only a few experienced players felt a little bit of unease from the woman's expression.
The servants retreated with the tray as silently as they appeared.
The woman on the stairs seemed to lose interest in them, and said: "What to do, someone will tell you, it's not a good thing to be too curious here, don't blame me if something happens No advance warning."
After saying that, she took her skirt up and disappeared at the entrance of the stairs.
They didn't get any clues except for a mask that didn't know its function, and now they haven't even solved the accommodation problem. Is it possible for them to find a room by themselves?
That woman doesn't seem like a good talker, who knows if she will do something because of their own ideas.
dinner.
.
"Rooms will be arranged for you after dinner," said the little girl who came out after the servants.
She was only about six or seven years old, wearing a long dress that was obviously more elaborate than that of a servant, and a multi-colored feather ornament on her head.
"Big bear, big bear, come out quickly."
The girl's voice fell, and a man as strong as a bear came to the hall with a barbecue in both hands.
He is nearly two meters tall, and his beard covers most of his face. A whole roast suckling pig is as small as a toy in his hand.
He put the barbecue grill in the center of the table, and said in a strong voice: "After eating."
Shen Qingcheng whispered to Lu Qi, "So the people in this castle are not the same voice."
The two sat among the players, and Shen Qingcheng took a serious look at today's dinner on the plate, and then frowned slightly.
The little girl behind her was bouncing around the long table, singing as she danced:
"The price of pork has risen recently, the price has risen Everyone must eat all the meat, eat all the meat Eat all the meat to have strength, have strength Only with strength can you raise pigs and pigs, raise pigs Pig"
Lu Qi saw that he was holding the fork still, "What?"
The food in front of each player is the same, a steak, a bowl of vegetable bisque, a piece of cheese, and a roasted suckling pig in the middle.
Shen Qingcheng put his fork on the table, leaning on Lu Qi's shoulder next to him with a weak look, and said weakly, "Brother Lu, I'm so uncomfortable."
Lu Qi: "..." He sighed in his heart, this is the beginning again.
Shen Qingcheng made a lot of noise, players looked at them one after another, and even the little girl temporarily stopped the magical brainwashing song to watch them.
Lu Qi knew that Shen Meiren wouldn't stop if she didn't play enough, so she could only say, "Where is the pain."
Shen Qingcheng: "Everywhere is uncomfortable, I can't eat anything."
Lu Qi thought about it, "Hello?"
Shen Qingcheng: "???" What's going on, today's Big Brother Lu is too good!
"No, I can't eat it," he put his head on Lu Qi's shoulder, and pinched the man's thigh with his hands under the table, "I want to rest."
Lu Qi received a very obvious hint from him, and raised his eyes to look at the little girl as if feeling no pain.
The expression on the little girl's face watching the play changed, she walked around in front of the two of them, her dark green eyes stared at Shen Qingcheng for a long time.
Shen Qingcheng half-covered his face and pretended to be weak, coughing from time to time, "It may be that I got lost in the forest for too long in the afternoon and caught a cold."
The little girl beckoned to call a servant in a black and white dress to take them upstairs.
After the two left, some players hesitated and silently reduced the amount of food they ate.
The roasted suckling pig was left intact for some reason.
The little girl was very angry about this, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Shameful waste! Shameful waste!" Until the players went upstairs, they stared at them with cold eyes.
The player's room is arranged on the second floor of the castle, connected by a corridor that seems to go to no end.
In the room, Lu Qi closed the door to block the servant from the door, and let go of Shen Qingcheng's hand, "Is there a problem with the food?"
Shen Qingcheng shook his head, "I don't know, it doesn't feel like something for people to eat."
Lu Qi was silent.
Shen Qingcheng curiously said: "You just believe me? This is just my feeling, aren't you hungry?"
Lu Qi looked indifferent and did not answer the question, saying: "If there is no other food in the ancient castle, it will be very troublesome." The weather is getting colder and colder, a heavy snow can make the big bear The mountain is closed, and it is still uncertain whether it can leave the castle.
"It's very troublesome, did you hear that little girl sing the song, she seems to want us to raise pigs in the last sentence," he touched his chin, "so the story line of this copy is farming A love story on the field..."
The more he talked, the more outrageous he became. Lu Qi ignored him and stretched out his hand to pick up the mask belonging to Shen Meiren. The mask is red and transparent, and there is a small white cat's paw at the corner of the eye, which is not like a mark on it, but a mark that grows naturally.
He leaned to the tip of his nose and smelled it, his eyes moved slightly, compared with his red feather on a white background, and said, "You have a taste."
"Huh?" Shen Qingcheng snatched up the two masks and tried to smell them, "Why can't I smell it? What's the smell?"
Lu Qi: "It's a little showy."
Shen Qingcheng: "emmmmm I suspect you are secretly scolding me."
Lu Qi didn't react at first, but after he figured it out, he was speechless for a while, did you say that about himself? He rubbed his temples, "You're not."
The sound of a knock on the door interrupted the two of them.
The voice of a suspected servant rang outside the door, "Please return to your room as soon as possible, don't leave after nine o'clock in the evening, walk around."
Shen Qingcheng glanced at the two-meter wide bed in the center of the room, "It's enough for two people."
Lu Qi picked up the suitcase, "The terminal is turned on as soon as possible, send me a message if something happens," he paused, "Mask..."
Shen Qingcheng waved his hand and said, "I will call you if you have any questions."
Lu Qi nodded and left with the box.
"Could it be that Lu Qi has some ulterior habit when he sleeps?" Shen Qingcheng said to himself after Lu Qi left, two meters is really wide, enough.
He looked at the room, the space was very spacious, the decoration style was dark, and there was a brightly colored oil painting hanging on the wall, which was very conspicuous in this gray room.
Shen Qingcheng was naturally attracted to his attention. He approached to take a look. The oil painting was of a spring forest, the sun was shining, and a pregnant doe was drinking water by the stream.
A vibrant oil painting.
Before he left the painting, he rummaged around, the wardrobe was empty, and there were few utensils in the bathroom. This should be a guest room.
Shen Qingcheng, who had nothing to gain, cleaned up a little, then washed and slept, and had a good night's sleep.
The next day, Shen Qingcheng was awakened by the servant's "dong dong" sound.
"Guests, please wash up and go downstairs within 20 minutes. Breakfast will start in half an hour."
Shen Qingcheng glanced out the window, the sky was gloomy, he said hoarsely, "I choose not to eat."
No one answered outside the door, and after a while, there was another "dong dong" sound.
He pulled up the quilt to cover his head, "Don't eat, don't knock."
After a while of silence, Lu Qi pushed the door and walked to the bed, "It's me."
Shen Qingcheng pulled down the quilt suddenly, he looked at the handsome man, then at the open door behind the man, with a shocked face, "Can the door be opened from the outside?"
Lu Qi: "Yeah."
Damn it.
The thirteen people were discussing what they saw and found last night. A girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old was nestled in Gao Shulin's arms in panic, with fear that could not be hidden in her eyes.
"You are here? Sit down." What does it mean to greet them familiarly.
He just finished saying that Gao Shulin also greeted Lu Qi over, Lu Qi nodded and sat next to Shen Qingcheng, Gao Shulin didn't care, she just expressed her attitude, and their group of players can't be completely What is the final say.
He Shi smiled, didn't say anything to Gao Shulin's target, and explained to them: "We are discussing the clues and doubts we discovered from last night to today."
A player continued to talk, and it was the male player who picked up the mask first last night, he said: "I left the mask downstairs on purpose last night, after I was woken up this morning But I found the mask next to the pillow, I don't know if someone put it on purposely or..."
Like all players, the door can be opened from the outside.
However, what Shen Qingcheng was more curious about was whether this person's behavior of leaving the mask was spontaneous or someone asked him to do so? If he just listened to others, what is the brainwashing ability too strong?
Following the male player, Gao Shulin said, "Let me speak for Xiaoliu." Xiaoliu is the girl in her arms who was obviously frightened.
Gao Shulin: "Xiao Liu's room should have belonged to the bedroom of the hostess of the ancient castle. She found half of the rest of the diary of the hostess in the bedroom. It was written in the diary that the hostess's husband is also The owner of the castle, he is a writer of thriller novels, in order to create excellent works, the author will choose some remote and eerie places to create immersive creations."
Gao Shulin: "One time, the novelist came back from writing and told his wife that he often heard the sound of knocking on the window at night, and also saw figures floating by the window, but the place he chose Often deserted, there is no one else but the novelist himself."
Liu Liu in her arms trembled, as if remembering something frightening, Gao Shulin patted her on the shoulder.
Xiao Liu bit her lip, "Sister Gao, I'm fine."
She took a breath and plucked up her courage and said: "Last night I was very scared after reading the hostess's diary, and I fell asleep very late, but I felt light, and was soon squeaked by a crunching noise. woke up."
"It's the window, someone is picking the locked window, there is someone outside the window, this person finds me awake and smiles at me against the window."
"It's red! It's all red!"
After she finished speaking, she screamed and threw herself into Gao Shulin's arms trembling.
