escape from nightmare game

"How did this happen? How could he die." The one who spoke was a girl named Zheng Luoxi, who was used to being alone after entering the dream.

Jiang Yitong stood beside the corpse, his eyes full of contempt, "How normal is it to die, is there still less death in this world?"

Lin Bao was still bold, squatting next to the corpse, eating candy, "That's right, let's talk about this kind of person, he deserves to die. He killed a few people in front of him. This is called karma, and retribution is not good."

Zheng Luoxi turned her back to Wen Xue and the others, not noticing anyone coming, she was silent for a moment, and said cautiously: "If he really killed someone, he should have two lives, how could he die here? Unless we Some of them lied, and it was not him who killed the first few, but others who framed him. If so, everyone knows who it is."

Lin Bao was not convinced and said: "What do you mean by this? You still doubt Uncle Wen? It wasn't him last night. Can you survive?"

Another old man, Tong Ha, said: "Little girl, people have ulterior motives, maybe last night was a complete set, let us let our guard down on purpose? Maybe Wen Xue and the Earl colluded to lure us into the bait, otherwise you say, what about this Qin Shaogang?" will die."

Shi Chen's face turned pale when he heard it, and when he turned his head to see Xi'an's uncertain expression, he rolled up his sleeves angrily, and said to Xi'an in a non-friendly tone: "You think so too? It's all about helping someone, a wolf-hearted dog." White-eyed wolf."

Shi Chen's voice was a little louder than usual, and in the middle of speaking, he immediately attracted the attention of several people gathered over there. Everyone saw embarrassment and alertness in their eyes, especially when they looked at Wen Xue, full of suspicion distrust.Compared with Shi Chen, Wen Xue was much calmer when he felt these gazes. He lightly pressed Shi Chen's shoulder with his hand, raised his mouth disapprovingly, and waved to Lin Bao.

Lin Bao didn't bother to defend himself, and ran to Wen Xue's side, looking as soft as a rabbit.

"What did you find?" Wen Xue said to Lin Bao, "You just squatted there for a long time."

Lin Bao shook his head vigorously, so that the braids on both sides hit his cheeks, "No, it's the same as the others."

Speaking of which, Qin Shaogang's death was too unexpected. He was in a fever just now, but now he calmed down, Shi Chen also felt that if he didn't know Wen Xue too well, someone else would have to suspect that Wen Xue had something to do with it.Everyone here didn't know what happened in the tower, so they naturally thought that they had made a mistake in their judgment.

Shi Chen rubbed his head and neck full of doubts, saw that Qin Shaogang had died by the door of the tower, so he went into the tower to see, there were no traces on the walls and stone steps.

When he looked at the body carefully, there was only one fatal wound on his body, and it didn't look like he had been attacked twice.

"This is too unreasonable. Could it be that the second murder in this world can be seamless?" Shi Chen frowned and looked at Wen Xue who was also confused.

Wen Xue shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have to wake up and ask Tu Wanzi about this."

The original trust in Wen Xue was based on Qin Shaogang's identity as a hunter. Now that Qin Shaogang's identity is in doubt, everyone also has doubts about Wen Xue. They looked at him with a dangerous air of distrust.

Once someone has doubts, it is easy to be deceived by subjective consciousness, so no matter how kind Wen Xue's face is at this time, the same doubts as them, in the eyes of the few old people, are all staged, deliberately paralyzing their nerves , so as to achieve the opportunity of sneak attack from behind.

Thinking wildly to make up a story, the more I read it, the more I feel that Wen Xue is terrible, so Jiang Yitong found an excuse to rhythm.

Seeing Jiang Yitong leaving, the others hurried away too.

"Why don't you leave? Hurry up, or Mr. Wen will eat people when he gets angry." Shi Chen said to Xi'an with a smile.

After several struggles, Xi'an dared to stay, but he didn't have enough confidence, and he spoke a little embarrassingly, "I don't think Wen Xue did it, and I don't think my previous judgment was wrong. Qin Shaogang must be a hunter, but I just feel strange."

Shi Chen lamented Xi'an's vision, raised his hand and clapped Xi'an a few times, and said with a playful smile: "Maybe the boss thinks he is hateful, damn it, he insists on killing him."

Lin Bao kept nodding on the sidelines, completely a small follower, "That's right, you deserve it for killing so many people."

Wen Xue rubbed Lin Bao's head and suggested to change the place first. There is only one way to go where they are. If they encounter monsters or bosses, they will be in a very passive position.

Anyway, seeing that it was time for lunch, they went directly to the dining room to wait. When they arrived at the dining room, they saw no one else there, so they chose to sit in the corner near the door, and waited for the servant to bring them coffee and leave before settling down. , discuss it carefully.

Shi Chen briefly described the matter of the collection, and then asked, "Have you found anything after wandering around all morning?"

Xi'an nodded, raising his hand to rush to speak, "Many rooms in the castle have secret passages. We went in and looked at them. They are intricate, like a maze, but it is easy to get out. The secret passages are figured out. But I am not sure about this." It’s a clue, I’ve traveled to Europe before, and it’s not unusual for the castle to have secret passages.”

Shi Chen put an unlighted cigarette in his mouth to get addicted, frowned slightly and said: "It seems that I have to take a risk, go and see the secret passage of the master's room."

Lin Bao interrupted and said, "Oh, we also heard a gossip today. I heard that the old earl and the old countess had a bad relationship, and they slept in separate rooms for decades."

Wen Xue patted Lin Bao's forehead lightly, and said with a smile, "You're a little older, but you're about the same as those aunts."

Seeing Lin Bao muttering, Shi Chen smiled helplessly, "Do you know why the relationship is not good?"

"I heard that the old earl has a mistress." Lin Bao turned into a gossiping aunt of the neighborhood committee, and said, "I heard from the old servant that the old earl had a childhood sweetheart, but it's a pity that the woman came from a humble background. Later, the old earl married She is the only daughter of the marquis who is well-matched. But the old countess has a bad temper, and the marriage relationship between the two is not good, and there are rumors that the old count has been secretly communicating with his confidante."

Hearing the last four words of Lin Bao, Shi Chen was a little speechless, "Little devil, I have read a lot of yellow books."

Wen Xue rolled Shi Chen's eyes, and kicked Shi Chen, "Continue, does the old earl have an illegitimate child?"

"No." Xi'an interjected: "It is said that there is no, and the legacy of the past has also been left to the current Earl Mander. It doesn't look like there is an illegitimate child."

"Whether there is or not, who knows." Shi Chen disagreed, but he likes to speak with evidence, and now it's all speculation, so he didn't say much.

While speaking, other people gathered in the dining room one after another, but even if all the living people were present, the restaurant still seemed empty.The third day is not over, and nearly half of them have died. How many people will be alive tomorrow?

The fear of death invisibly affects everyone, even Shi Chen, who doesn't have a great appetite, takes a few mouthfuls to fill his stomach, but can't leave his cigarette.

On the other hand, Earl Mander was in a good mood, obviously eating more than the previous two days, and he even asked a few questions during the period.

"Those secret passages look very gloomy and easy to get lost, and if you encounter monsters inside, it is particularly easy to cause accidents. Think about it, this is only the third day, if you can find other clues, there is actually no need to take this risk. After Xi'an and the others finished walking, they nagged and persuaded: "How about this? We are investigating the situation for two days and making a plan by the way. Maybe there is a map of secret passages in the castle? We only have about half of the people. If something happens to you again, the world will probably be suspended."

Wen Xue put his hand to the corner of his lips and pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "It's okay, besides, with the current death rate, we can't survive until the sixth day. If tonight is the same as yesterday, we may not have such good luck, and we can still survive." It's over."

Shi Chen didn't say anything, but felt a little timid in his heart.

"Are you really going? If there is a trap down there, aren't we just asking for trouble?" Shi Chen whispered, gently tugging Wen Xue's cuffs under the table.

At this time, he still cared about his image, Wen Xue helplessly shook his head and laughed, pushed Shi Chen's hand away and held it.

But these words also reminded him that he really shouldn't take Shi Chen to risk, Wen Xue thought about it, and said in a low voice, "I'll go by myself, you and Lin Bao will wait for me?"

"That's not okay. There's no reason to let your boyfriend take risks and enjoy what you get. Besides, if you are in danger, I can still help you anyway." Shi Chen lit a cigarette impatiently, took a few deep breaths, and made up his mind Said: "Go, I will accompany you."

After finishing a table of dim sum, Lin Bao sat down on a chair, stroking his slightly bulging belly, with a look of disdain on his face, "Uncle, can you do it, don't be too busy to help, it will only add to the chaos."

"The little devil will eat you." Shi Chen bared his fangs at Lin Bao.

Xi'an understood that he couldn't be persuaded, so he asked, "Where do you plan to investigate?"

"The old count's room. After all, if it is related to the illegitimate child of the mistress, it cannot be raised in the old countess's room." Shi Chen thought for a while and said.

The secret passage in the old earl's room was behind the closet. For safety reasons, Lin Bao and Xi'an deliberately guarded the entrance of the secret passage. The secret passage was pitch black, but fortunately there was a flashlight provided by Xi'an.

Shi Chen didn't take a few steps until he arrived at the end of the corridor. There was a spiral staircase in front of him. Looking down, it was still endless darkness.

Wen Xue took the flashlight and walked in front of Shi Chen. The continuously rotating staircase gave people the illusion that ghosts were hitting the wall. The stairs led all the way to the end without any fork in the middle, and what appeared in front of them was a seemingly infinitely extended road. corridor.The secret passage in the old earl's room is different from others. There are no complicated forks. You only need to walk in the dark to reach the end door.

Open the door of the secret passage and climb up the stairs. This is a mountain forest far away from the ancient castle. It is relatively remote, with dense vegetation and mostly thorns.

There is a house in the depths of the forest, which is built of stones. The house is already a bit dilapidated. The ant-eaten wooden door is half open, and it creaks in the wind. The house is full of dust, and no one lives here.The scale of the house is small, although the sparrow is small, but it is very complete, even has a servant's room.

The master bedroom of this house is filled with all kinds of luxurious clothes, and jewelry is piled up in two drawers.

There is a crib next to the master bedroom, and there is a family portrait on the crib. The man holding the baby is exactly like Earl Mander.

Shi Chen glanced at the photo, with a look of pride on his face, "Let me just say, there must be an illegitimate child."

"From the photos taken decades ago, it seems that the illegitimate child is about the same age as the earl." Wen Xue flipped through the photo and found that there was a date on it, and murmured, "Where is the illegitimate child now? Since there is an illegitimate child, The old earl loves the mother and son so much, logically speaking, it is impossible not to leave any inheritance to this son."

Shi Chen searched the room like a carpet, and was unable to reply: "Who knows, maybe the old earl found out that the child is not his, so he didn't leave any property for him."

Wen Xue noticed the days by the window sill, and flipped through two pages. It was a diary of the child's growth experience. On the last page, there was a letter. The name at the bottom was all the old earl's name. It seemed to be a letter addressed to this illegitimate son. .Wen Xue was not interested in the content of the letter, his eyes were completely attracted by the signature, and he remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Shi Chen realized that Wen Xue hadn't said anything, so he turned around and approached him, "Is there something wrong with this letter?"

"It's not the content of the letter, it's the signature. Do you remember the will you saw in the Earl's study?" Wen Xue said.

Shi Chen's heart moved, "The will in the study was a fake, so the illegitimate son sincerely retaliated. But I didn't pay much attention to the will at the time, I didn't read it carefully, why don't we take the letter back and make notes for comparison. It's just that the illegitimate son Who is it?"

Wen Xue folded the letter and photos and stuffed them into his pocket, covered Shi Chen's mouth with his hand, and pointed to the ceiling. There was a sound from above, hissing, like bones rubbing against the ground.Wen Xue let go of his hand without saying a word, and gestured to Shi Chen, and the two of them quietly turned out of the window.
