Chapter 12 Castle Night

Wen Shi didn't dare to get too close, worried that the beard would fly over with the iron hook like before.

That would be an unjust death.

The bearded man also has concerns, if he misses a hit, he has to go to the flower field to get the iron hook, which he doesn't want to go through.

When Wen Shi was still a few meters away from the flower field, the owner of the castle and the bearded man had retreated hundreds of meters.

The patience of the owner of the castle was almost worn out by Wen Shi, and he also issued an ultimatum: "If you dare to destroy another flower..."

Wen Shi knew that he was about to step on the other party's bottom line. If he hadn't been concerned about this flower field, the owner of the castle would have made a move long ago.

So before he finished speaking, he immediately stated his position: "Loving flowers and plants is everyone's responsibility."

One of the main reasons for the owner of the castle's fear is Wen Shi's weird luck. It's okay to hurt several flowers in a row. If this continues, maybe the other party can really pick another good flower.

There are only seven minutes left for Wen Shi to persevere. Let's talk about getting out of the maze alive first. As for the pollination plan, go out and think about it.

Just when the clouds were about to open and the moon was about to shine, the servant rushed up suddenly. With his loyalty to the earl and anger at the destruction of the garden, he grabbed Wen Shi's arm regardless of his safety.

"Master, I caught him for you!"

Wen Shi was stunned for a moment, but without breaking free, he touched the back of the servant's hand twice with his backhand.

The male servant had goosebumps all over his body: "Master, come quickly!"

All his willpower is used to resist the urge to pick flowers, and he has no spare energy to use the golden scissors. Now he is all supported by a breath, but he is a little bit unable to hold on now.

The servant didn't notice at all, there was some light yellow pollen on the place Wen Shi touched, and a little bit of light shone on it, making it shiny.

As the pollen was gradually absorbed by the skin, the servant's eyes became confused.

Wen Shi tentatively asked, "How does it feel?"

"Think, want to live."

After finishing speaking, the male servant shook his head violently and cursed angrily, "What kind of magic did you use on me?"

He tugged on Wen Shi's arm, as if he wanted to pass it to the earl: "Master, hurry up!"

Wen Shi's expression was complicated: "...it is his blessing to have you."

The owner of the castle waved his hands in disgust to disperse the sweet smell in the air, ignored the servant's shouts, turned and left.

Confirming that he was leaving, Wen Shi stepped out of the cursed flower field, and then dragged the servant out.

The urge to pick flowers suddenly disappeared, and the moment his sanity recovered, the bluffing male servant was stunned, not understanding why the other party rescued him.

The golden scissors are on the ground, as long as he thinks, he has a chance to fight back at any time.

Wen Shi glanced at the flower field, said with a cold face: "Take care of the flowers and plants, it's not good to let you pick flowers inside."

Inside: Bullshit.

Who will plant the seeds when you die!

Rounding off, the seeds are life, as well as flowers, and he didn't lie.

Moreover, the manservant had entered the flower field for a short time, and his expression was still a bit confused. If he really wanted to kill him, Wen Shi would have a chance to run away.

The owner of the castle, who hadn't gone too far, seemed to know what was going on in the rear. After Wen Shi chose to save the servant, the murderous intent in his eyes really faded away.

"03:23"

When there was not much time left, Wen Shi started to walk out of the maze.

Where he appeared, the ants returned to their holes, the snakes fled, and the crows flapped their wings in the sky as if they had a motor installed, flying extremely fast.

"It seems that animals' perception of danger is really an instinct."

Wen Shi suddenly became interested in biology.

He suddenly made a grimace against the wall, the snake fled faster, and Wen Shi felt a kind of revengeful joy.The next second he looked up and saw Xie Tangyan standing at the end of the road, the corners of his mouth furiously turned into a guilty smile.

Xie Tangyan clapped her hands: "You did a good job, you all knew that you tricked me away first, you are really filial."

Wen Shi coughed lightly, choosing not to correct her wrong words at this juncture.

"Please listen to my sophistry," Wen Shi said, "Although I want to temporarily trap you in the maze, it's not because of my noble character, it's just that there's no need to take risks together..."

If Xie Tangyan's strength value is still there, Wen Shi will certainly not kick away this booster, and she has no problem now.This is the only person who has not harmed himself after entering the game. Wen Shi's rationality reminded him to try his best to ensure the safety of this person.

But looking at Xie Tangyan's eyes, Wen Shi felt that this guarantee might be exchanged for a severe beating.

When Wen Shi was about to continue reasoning, Xie Tangyan slanted her eyebrows and said, "Stop."

"sister."

Xie Tangyan pointed at him with a sword: "Don't come over."

"..." What about the relatives you promised?

Wen Shi secretly felt sad for 0.003 seconds, remembering that he is now a walking pollen machine.

Consciously keeping a safe distance away, Wen Shi seriously conducted research: "Sister, can you feel something is wrong?"

Xie Tangyan nodded.

When Wen Shi got close, she felt drunk, like drugs invading her brain, trying to control her will.

Wen Shi was thoughtful. Powerful people seem to have an instinctive reaction to danger. In the future, if they want to sneak attack a player or npc who is much stronger than themselves, the more subtle the means, the better.

Wait, why should I think about being an enemy of someone who is stronger than me?

"I'm floating."

Wen Shi had a look of despair on his face, he was doing well, why did he suddenly become drifting?

"Until my strength recovers, I won't enter the castle," Xie Tangyan said, "During this time, you can search for a list of people you want to assassinate."

"..." The reason for floating was found.

Wen Shi emphasized a few points: "The range of activities should not exceed the streetlights outside the castle. If you hide in the maze, avoid some male servants, and don't approach the flower fields."

As long as they don't meet head-on, the "little gourd" he gave to each other is enough to make Xie Tangyan avoid the attention of the servant.

Compared with the surroundings of the castle, the inside of the maze is the best choice.

After making sure everything was explained in place, Wen Shi walked out of the maze.

The mutated pomegranate flower is not useless. Since touching it, Wen Shi seems to have installed a GPS, and the fragrance of the flower guides him to the shortest route to the outside world.

outside the maze.

When seeing the housekeeper walking in this direction, Luo Xiao took the initiative to meet him.They lived in the castle for a while, and they knew that the butler basically didn't care about the maze and would not show up for no reason.

The two sides engaged in nonsense literature for five or six minutes, and the butler was already impatient: "I have an urgent matter to ask Dr. Aaron for help, so I can't chat with you two."

pay a small price for big rewards in return It really is difficult, Luo Xiao sighed, and finally spent points to buy a confusing item, and then said again: "Dr. Aaron has something wrong, we can also help."

With the support of props, the housekeeper hesitated.

Luo Xiao: "If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

Peng Lu called the maid for help.

The maid said truthfully: "I saw Dr. Aaron running into the maze, and the director of Frank Hospital was chasing after him. They were trying a very new therapy."

The housekeeper was silent for a while, this scene didn't look like healing at all.

Luo Xiao added to the flames: "Dr. Aaron has encountered trouble and is already too busy to take care of himself."

This is the most important weight, to make the npc doubt the ability of the tasker.

The housekeeper nodded hesitantly: "Okay..."

...

"Three seconds, one second..." Wen Shi started to count down to himself. When the last second counted down, there was no task notification sound, nothing.

Could it be possible to trigger it outside the maze?

For the last leg of the journey, he started running directly.

When he was about to run out, Wen Shi came to a sudden stop.

The bearded man stared at him covetously: "The carriage is already waiting outside."

Unless Wen Shi went crazy, he would go back with him. Once he got into the carriage, his head would never be able to go back to the hospital.

The bearded man originally hid in the dark and gave him a backstab, but when Wen Shi approached, the sweet and greasy smell wafted over first.The corroded area of the bearded palm was still rotten, and the wound was extremely sensitive to pollen, so he didn't dare to get too close.

Wen Shi advances, and he retreats.

Both of them have their own scruples.

Wen Shi smiled and said, "I still have something to do here."

Hu Jing waited for him to make up things.

When Wen Shi glanced around guiltily, he saw two players talking to the butler on the ground outside the castle.

The maid left, and there were only three people left, standing in the direction leading to the maze, very conspicuous.

Wen Shi's smile disappeared.

The game will mislead the player, but it will not lie. It implies that Wen Shi persists for an hour and there will be a turnaround, but it does not say that the turnaround will definitely hit him firmly on the head.

Someone wants to pick their own peaches.

Can this be tolerated?

Wen Shi narrowed his eyes: "The butler must have something to ask me, I have to go to him."

After seeing the situation over there, the bearded man actually grinned: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Said to accompany.

There seems to be a galaxy between the two sides.

Wen Shi went to the housekeeper first.

Seeing him coming, Luo Xiao and Peng Lu felt no ups and downs, anyway, they had successfully accepted the task.

Wen Shi didn't question the two of them, and asked the housekeeper directly: "I expect to leave later, if you need help, I can help."

His question was too straightforward, and under normal circumstances, points would be deducted for role-playing, but Wen Shi thought that there was no point to lose.

The housekeeper shook his head: "It's all right."

Wen Shi glanced at Luo Xiao and Peng Lu, Luo Xiao smiled at him as if nothing had happened.

Wen Shi said from the housekeeper's mouth: "There was an accident, I lost my composure today, please ask me to do something, and apologize on behalf of Frank Hospital."

The housekeeper said helplessly, "Your condition doesn't look very good."

Wen Shi also knew that he was in a mess right now.

The fresh snake blood on his body was absorbed by the golden scissors, but the blood stains did not disappear completely.His whole body was drenched in sweat, his face was as white as paper, and even around his ears were condensed with dried blood.

Sensing the housekeeper's doubts about his abilities, Wen Shi smiled instead.I saw a hint of anxiety on his face, looked at Luo Xiao and Peng Lu, and shouted inexplicably: "Run!"

After speaking, he ran to the distance first.

Luo Xiao and Peng Lu looked puzzled, not understanding Wen Shi's confusing operation.

When he turned his head, a two-meter-tall giant suddenly appeared in front of him.

The bearded man didn't say a word of nonsense, he raised his hand, and the iron hook scratched it hard.

Blood splattered everywhere, Luo Xiao's pupils shrank, she covered her shoulders and hurriedly backed away.Peng Lu was not much better either. For a bearded man, penetrating human flesh was as easy as cutting through a piece of paper.

From scratching Luo Xiao's muscle to pulling out, the iron hook greeted Peng Lu in less than two seconds.

They didn't expect that the other party would suddenly attack them. First of all, they were safe during the day, and they didn't violate any rules, so their reactions were slow for a while.

It's normal for beards to attack them.

Wen Shi's action of wanting to remind the two of them to escape made the bearded man firm in his idea that the evidence of the crime had been handed over to the two of them.

The bearded blow failed to complete the lore, and when he wanted to raise his hand, the butler sternly stopped him: "If you treat the distinguished guests of the castle like this again, I will call the guards."

The muscles on the bearded face twitched, and before leaving, he warned Luo Xiao and Peng Lu: "Don't stretch your hands too far."

Luo Xiao & Peng Lu: "?"

After making sure the bearded man leaves, Wen Shi walks over again.

Luo Xiao sullenly said: "What did you do?"

Wen Shi said perfunctorily, "Perhaps the dean has slipped his hands."

Hand slippery ghost!

The moment she was hurt by the iron hook, she clearly heard the notification sound from the game——

"You have successfully joined Frank Hospital Director Ao's assassination list."

It was the same with Peng Lu. He was more calm and didn't question him on the spot.

Wen Shi smiled at the butler and said, "They are not feeling well, I may be the only one to help you."

It's not just that they are not feeling well, even after taking the medicine, Luo Xiao and Peng Lu hurt their bones, and the bleeding still hasn't stopped for a while.

The butler is starting to dislike Peng Lu and Luo Xiao now.

Compared with them, Wen Shi's embarrassment was nothing.But he didn't take back the mission of the two of them directly, and repeated what he said before to Wen Shi: "You should know that the master is very hospitable and often invites outsiders to visit the castle."

Wen Shi sighed inwardly, nodded his head and said, "That's right, you're so hospitable."

"I don't know who stole the master's precious paint without being grateful." The butler's tone was tinged with anger: "The maid came to me yesterday morning and told me that the paint was missing when cleaning, but I didn't expect a few bottles of paint to be missing today."

"This kind of thing has never happened in the castle before. I want you to catch this nasty thief."

"Sub-quest 3: The Steward's Request

Help the butler catch the paint thief and bring it to the owner of the castle

Reward: There is a certain probability of obtaining rare props

Tip: This task may attract hatred

Reminder: Special side missions, cooperation is recommended"

Wen Shi pondered for a moment: "Thieves are cunning, do you have any clues to provide?"

"The master's paint has been stored in the basement floor, you can try to go there to have a look." The housekeeper added: "The maid told me that she found a few very long hairs next to the paint cabinet."

Wen Shi sighed. The only ones who could steal the paint were monsters or the Blood Bride. The monsters in the wall were undoubtedly much easier to deal with than the Blood Bride. Long hair meant that it was most likely the Blood Bride.

"Blood Bride..."

Wen Shi silently read the name of the target.

The butler was busy with other things, so he turned back to the castle after finishing speaking.

hall.

The owner of the castle was going upstairs, and the butler walked over quickly: "Don't worry, the thief will be caught..."

The owner of the castle interrupted him, frowning slightly: "Did you talk to the doctor?"

The butler nodded.

The owner of the castle took a deep look at him: "You are dirty."
