You Yunran held up the lantern and carefully observed the details in Annie's room.

He used the clues left in the room to deduce Annie's various actions after she came into the house, and finally came to the conclusion that Annie changed her clothes and left the room with a candle holder. He turned to the housekeeper and asked, "Where is she?" , take us there."

The housekeeper was silent for a moment, and warned You Yunran: "You better not do this."

Daxiu doesn't have the good temper like You Yunran, and he is willing to be patient and communicate well.He grabbed the butler by his collar, looked at the terrifying guy in front of him, and threatened: "Lead me ahead quickly, or you will bear the consequences!"

You Yunran was noncommittal about the level of force between Daxiu and the butler. In this world mixed with supernatural elements, the presence (threat) of the butler in front of him is undoubtedly very worthy of vigilance.

Even if it is really necessary to do something as a last resort, let alone Daxiu, I am afraid that John will have nothing to do about it.Because humans cannot reason with ghosts.

But the problem obviously didn't reach that point. Even though the butler was grabbed by the collar by Daxiu, the whole person (?) still maintained a good demeanor.He was dragged by Daxiu and threw away his collar, took a step back, stretched out his hand to straighten out his messy clothes, and said to everyone: "I just remind you, if you want to leave, I won't stop you."

You Yunran was not interested in the "leave" mentioned repeatedly by the housekeeper. He said, "Tell me where she is, and how to find her."

Seeing You Yunran's resolute attitude, the housekeeper paused helplessly for a moment, and finally compromised and said, "She should be locked up."

You Yunran thought about it and said, "Dungeon?"

After hearing this, Daxiu asked suspiciously: "What kind of castle do you have, why do you even have a dungeon?" I'm afraid there may be some secrets in it.

But the steward asked without thinking: "You are a nobleman, how come you don't even know that there is a dungeon in the castle?"

You Yunran reminded: "'In this era', nobles will build a dungeon in their castle for daily use."

As for how to use it...there are many usages.

After Daxiu heard this, he was so choked that he couldn't speak.Except for You Yunran, who is a know-it-all, how could people living in the interstellar era know about this kind of thing!

He justified and said: "I have lost a large part of my memory, and I don't remember many things."

John also smoothed things over: "Me too, except for my name and identity, I can't remember many things clearly."

You Yunran wondered whether it was because the script was not detailed enough, so the two of them used "amnesia" as an excuse to dispel the housekeeper's suspicion, or was it the setting of the plot that kept silent.

After hearing this, the butler didn't express much about it. He turned around expressionlessly and silently led the way for a few people. Daxiu immediately followed after seeing this.

There were still five people when they came, but after changing clothes, they lost one teammate.As a result, the atmosphere became even more depressing than before.In the dead and silent castle, the four of them walked silently all the way, with heavy expressions on their expressions.

Seeing this, You Yunran broke the silence and said to the butler:

"In the castle, who else is there?"

"You just said, 'Sure enough, you were taken away', did you mean Miss Annie was taken away by whom?"

If it were someone else, maybe at this time, they would be very reluctant to talk to the housekeeper.One is because the appearance of the other party is too terrifying, and it takes a lot of courage to say a word. Not everyone will have the courage to talk to a "ghost" in a difficult situation.The second is that this guy made it clear in advance that everyone might be "taken away" at any time, but he didn't mean to remind them at all, and he belonged to the hostile party.

But You Yunran is different. He is good at dealing with people, and he is used to using language as a weapon to knock on each other's heart.Therefore, the more this situation is unfavorable to one's own side, and all kinds of information are urgently needed, the more he tries to communicate with the other party.

The steward said slowly: "There are many people in the castle. Except for the master, the master's relatives, and a small number of retainers. There are also many servants and servants."

You Yunran thought for a moment, then asked: "Who captured Miss Annie, and who put the mirror in our pockets, trying to hurt us?"

This time the housekeeper didn't answer immediately, but paused for a while before saying, "Of course it's those people who don't want you to leave."

"And you always want us to leave?" You Yunran quickly caught something and said quickly.

"..." The butler said indifferently, "This is not the place you should come here."

Daxiu heard the butler's general position from the conversation, and said, "You seem to be planning to protect us?"

The steward's voice was faint: "Who knows? Maybe I just want to protect this place from being destroyed."

"Cut." Daxiu snorted dissatisfiedly.

"What's in the dungeon?" You Yunran said, "I don't believe that the person who captured Annie would release her so easily."

The housekeeper said silently: "Then it depends on what the existence who captured her said."

"It's not going to be a fight, is it?" You Yunran tentatively asked as if joking.

But the butler said, "We are gentlemen."

"..." You Yunran nodded slightly with understanding: "I see."

Daxiu complained at the side: "Damn gentleman."

"Ghost?" The housekeeper's expression looked a little scary: "After death, people who are unlucky will become ghosts. Not only me, but you may also be like this."

"..."

The voice fell to the ground, and there was no sound for a long time.A chill spread silently from the tailbone to the back of Daxiu's neck, soaking his whole body as cold as falling into an ice cave.

After he came here, it was the first time he heard the housekeeper admit that he was a ghost.Sensing the looming threat in the steward's words, Daxiu's heart beat faster and faster, his whole body was top-heavy, and he instantly felt that everything around him seemed different.

What the hell did he come to? Could it be that the guys here are all ghosts! ! !

The surrounding light is very dark, and there is such a "living ghost" beside him, if Daxiu didn't remember that this is a variety show, he would have run away long ago, wishing to leave this ghost place as soon as possible!

However, even if you know that this is the recording site of the program, it doesn't mean that you won't feel scared if you are in it!Didn't you see so many guys in the playground who were scared by the haunted house and ran around?Have you never seen a situation where you were scared and screamed by the scenes in the horror movie? !

Daxiu swallowed dryly, his face became a little pale unconsciously.

You Yunran noticed something unusual, looked sideways at John who was walking beside him, raised the lamp in his hand, illuminated John's face, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Compared with Daxiu's kind of guy who likes to pretend to be cool, John is obviously the honest type.He nodded and said to You Yunran, "I'm quite nervous."

After hearing this, Daxiu immediately laughed and said, "Ha! He's so tall, why are he afraid of these things? I'm not afraid at all!"

John confessed frankly: "If it's a lion or a dinosaur, I really have nothing to be afraid of, but I have nothing to do when I encounter a ghost... I can see but not touch, come and go without a trace, and they are always so infiltrating. Man, how can this be done?"

Daxiu fell into a deep silence when he heard John say "lions and dinosaurs are nothing scary", and then when he heard John admit that he was afraid of scary things, he didn't have that much desire to ridicule.

What kind of external mobile fighter is this...

The viewers who were watching the show, in order to reduce the fear in their hearts, changed the topic and said: "To a certain extent, as teammates, the Jixi clan is still very reliable. Especially when facing the enemy, that kind of combat power It is undoubtedly a very strong psychological support.”

"When I heard him say that I can't beat ghosts, and I feel very scared, I'm inexplicably cute, what's going on..."

"Isn't it said that the Jixi family has a hot temper and beats and kills at every turn? Why is this John being bullied by Daxiu everywhere? I think he is so innocent."

"Daxiu's face turned pale from fright and he said he's not afraid hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter"

You Yunran followed behind the butler, silently observing the surrounding environment, and suddenly said, "Where are you taking us?"

Daxiu didn't know why and said, "Don't tell me, is it a dungeon?"

The butler said slowly, "Did you really find out?"

After hearing this, Daxiu and John immediately showed a look of vigilance, and said loudly, "What do you want to do!"

You Yunran said: "No dungeon will be built in a more luxurious place than a guest room."

He pointed to the surrounding decorations and decorations that were not clearly visible due to the dim light, and then said: "Aside from these, according to the internal and external directions of the building, you obviously intend to take us to the core area of ​​this castle. Perhaps It is the place where the master lives, or the study room, in short, it must be the most valued and frequently used place by the users here, and it must not be a remote dungeon."

When Daxiu heard this, he became anxious.But even if he was in a hurry, he couldn't pull the butler's collar in a fit of anger like he did just now, so that he would stay away from the butler at this time.So I could only play tricks on my lips, and shouted to the housekeeper sternly: "Don't try to make a wrong idea, we know it in our hearts!"

The housekeeper asked back: "Since it is clear, why do you still ask me?"

Daxiu was choked and speechless again, and murmured in bewilderment: "Wh, what are you asking?"

You Yunran thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "So that's how it is."

John immediately said, "What did you find?"

You Yunran said: "He said just now that the people here are gentlemen, so they will not use ungentlemen's methods to deal with us who are going to ask for Annie back. Then, ordinary gentlemen will casually take Is the guest imprisoned in a dark, filthy dungeon?"

John thought about it carefully, and then said belatedly: "In other words, Annie may not be in the dungeon now."

"Yes." You Yunran nodded.

Daxiu said angrily, "Then why did this guy say he was in the dungeon just now? Didn't he just lie to us!" When he was pretending to be a tiger, he was exposed on the spot by the other party, not to mention how embarrassing it was up.

You Yunran said flatly: "The word dungeon was conjectured by me, but he didn't actually respond."

Daxiu: "..."

Daxiu said angrily, "Damn!"

There was a burst of laughter in the comment area.

"I knew it"

"Every time I see Daxiu deflated, I feel so much fun"

"You Yunran ate him to death."

Soon, the housekeeper brought the three of them to the door of a room decorated in a very ornate style, raised his palm and knocked on the mahogany door.Not long after, a proud "Come in" came from the room, and the butler pushed open the door to signal everyone to go in.

Everyone is actually ready to be shocked again.

Unexpectedly, after the door was opened, the room was brightly lit.In the living room, which is obviously a few grades more luxurious than the suite just now, on a luxurious and exquisite sofa, there is a male nobleman who looks like an individual, no matter how you look at it, sitting lazily drinking black tea, looking up The people who walked in through the door.

He gracefully put down the teacup and said to them, "It's finally here?"

Daxiu immediately said: "You are a human or a ghost!"

The man was slightly taken aback after hearing this, as if he never thought that one day he would be spoken like this, and after a long while, he said with a dumbfounded smile:

"Of course I'm a ghost."

The temperature in everyone's hearts, which had been raised with great difficulty, suddenly dropped again, down to freezing point.
