Chapter 23 Night of the Castle

The wandering corpse can't speak, and the time for disguise is also very limited, Wen Shi must grasp every minute of the next one.

He went straight to the end of this road, where was the room of the owner of the castle.As the groom, when the wedding begins, the owner of the castle who pays attention to etiquette cannot be late.It is also impossible for other players to follow themselves at the risk of arranging the church and being lazy.

Now is the best time.

The animal-faced knocker on the stone door showed its sharp teeth, and its round eyes were wide open, as if watching the thief who wanted to enter the house, and the eyes were half-closed, and there was a restrained danger in the silence.

Wen Shi's body trembled slightly as the memory of being pierced through his chest hit him.

Sure enough, the shadow of death cannot be shaken off in a short while.

There is a "door breaking hammer" sold in the game mall, which is specially aimed at locked rooms.

Wen Shi was about to decide to exchange it, but the lifelike animal face door knocker made him hesitate, worried that violent destruction would cause bad consequences.

Every second of hesitation was a waste of time, Wen Shi decisively changed his strategy, entered the nearest room, tightened the bed sheet into a strong knot and tied it around his waist.After taking the simplest protective measures, he got out of the window.

Under normal circumstances, the height of the second floor is not to be feared at all, but the distance between each floor of the castle is more than a few meters higher than the normal distance between buildings.torus.

The ceremony and music of the church could be faintly heard from above. Wen Shi couldn't find a foothold for a long time. There were no plastic water pipes suitable for climbing on the outer edge of the castle., I know you are here."

Waiting to pit me.

A slender shadow gradually emerged from the smooth outer wall, a monster seeking revenge.

A monster stretched its arms just enough to reach Wen Shi's ankle. It was constantly exerting force, as if it was thinking whether to crush the thin ankle directly, or pull the living person into the wall bit by bit.

Wen Shi said very calmly: "I'm going to steal the picture frame now and give you a home. The unhappiness before was only because you wanted to devour my zombie friends. What I hate the most is betrayal."

He has always been very reasonable in his words: "When I went to the secret passage, I pointed out that only Catherine and the others followed. As friends, they betrayed me. And I and you have never met before, so I didn't join the bride to harm everyone afterwards."

Wen Shi stated the facts while misinterpreting all the starting points.

"Help me open the window. I'll go to the master's room to steal something first, and then I'll steal the picture frame. I'll steal enough money at a time."

"Finally, I hand over the picture frame to you. The bride doesn't have to worry about being trapped in the picture frame again. You are no longer living in a fixed place. I will take the rest of the stolen goods and set sail. Everyone has a bright future."

He was almost moved by what he said.

There were divisions among the monsters.

"Liar, don't trust him."

"Frame, I just want to live in the frame."

"Give him a chance...this may be our last chance..."

"It's too cold in the walls, so cold..."

Intermittent voices were heard, Wen Shi looked calm on the surface, but was actually quite anxious inside, and three or four minutes had passed.

After another thirty seconds, the discussion finally came to an end.

The ending is gratifying. The monster camp that Wen Shi stepped on did not capsize, and the black shadow that was pulling his ankle did not kill him again.With a flick to the front, Wen Shi successfully reached the window of the room where the owner of the castle was in the process of beating the drum to pass the flowers.

He hissed softly, nearly dislocating his arm.

The windows were left open, which was a relief.

The monsters were full of fear of the owner of the castle. Even if the owner was not in the house now, they had no intention of breaking in.

Wen Shi jumped to the ground, the lights in the room were not turned on, and everything was in darkness.

Fortunately, the moon tonight was round and bright enough for him to see a lot.

At the end of the opposite carpet is a leather sofa, and a thick red coral velvet blanket is placed on it to make it look softer.Not far from the sofa is a mahogany bed. The two carved bedposts in front are slightly wider than normal bedposts. The fluffy bed curtains are lifted and stacked on both sides. From the sheets to the quilts are an uncomfortable scarlet color.

Wen Shi took out the small lantern, which he disliked at first, but now he finds that it is really easy to use, the key is that there is no need to refill the fuel.

It's not that he complained, this luxurious bed looks like a tablet stand from the front.

The owner of the castle wears a different set of clothes every day. Wen Shi originally thought that his wardrobe would be as long as a street, but now it looks nothing more than that.

Wen Shi didn't forget the purpose of coming here, scanning every corner like an eye scanner.

There is a small hexagonal wind lamp on the bedside table, and directly above is a chandelier whose vertical height is too downward.

Wen Shi looked around, but found no candlestick.

He also rummaged through the bedside table and wardrobe, but still found nothing.

Just when Wen Shi was a little anxious, he noticed the mirror on the wall.This was the first time he saw a mirror after staying in the castle.Wen Shi walked to the mirror, and saw himself holding a lamp inside, and the face of the person reflected was pale.

Wen Shi checked the edge of the mirror and made sure that the mirror surface was firmly glued to it, it couldn't be taken off, and there were no traps around it.

Turning his head, there seemed to be some stains on the mirror. It was clear that there was nothing there just now. Wen Shi took a closer look, and vaguely saw a silhouette, but he couldn't see clearly. He had to get closer, and even closer... HeiThe dots suddenly turned into a pair of vertical pupils, and the fierce and majestic eyes stared at Wen Shi coldly.

The two sides seemed to be looking at each other through cat's eyes.

"I go."

Wen Shi leaned back and almost fell over.

The weird relief lines became more and more vivid, and finally a clear face of the beast appeared.

The mirror was facing the direction of the door, and it only reflected two things at the moment: the animal face door knocker outside the door, and Wen Shi inside the door.

Wen Shi dared not to look away, he was sure it was not an illusion.

There is still a difference between the animal face in the mirror and the animal face knocker.The door knocker only showed part of the fangs, and the mouth of the animal face in the mirror was opened a little bit more, with a faint light flickering inside.

Wen Shi was startled, and shook the lantern in his hand to make sure that the light source did not come from here.

Then it can only be that something is shining in the mouth of the beast face.

"No way."

Can't be so unlucky.

Wen Shi had a bold guess that the candlestick was in the mouth of the animal face.

Just when he came to this conclusion, his body began to move forward uncontrollably, and the animal face in the mirror opened its bloody mouth, like a jackal waiting to be fed.

Now Wen Shi couldn't care less about holding the candlestick, his life was the most important thing.

In the next few seconds, Wen Shi tried various actions: closing his eyes, retreating, and actively moving forward.

No matter which one it is, it has not brought about any change, and he is still controlled by unknown forces.

As the limbs further lost control, Wen Shi was about to put away the lantern first.

The moment he was about to take back the props, without knowing why, he let go of his hand, and the lantern fell to the ground. The outer glass cover was broken, and the fire inside flickered wildly due to the shock.

Ignoring the infinitely narrowing distance with the mirror, Wen Shi now focuses all his attention on the lantern itself.

The light has gradually become stable, Wen Shi looked at the direction in which the flames deviated, and slowly uttered a word: "Wind."

The direction of the wind is wrong.

The windows were wide open and the night wind poured in. The flames should have been deflected to the left, but now they were deflecting in the other direction, proving that there was a vent in the inner room.

Wen Shi's body was stiff, and the speed of blood circulation was much slower than usual. The paralysis caused by the individual's hypothermia made him unable to feel much obvious wind.

Wen Shi tried to move toward the inclined side where the wind was blowing from, and the trajectory at this angle gave him a little freedom.

He wanted to find out where the hidden air outlet was, but apart from the flame of the lantern, there was nothing moved by the wind, not even the thin blanket on the sofa.

What is the problem?

Wen Shi frowned, the lantern is a prop, it doesn't need to add fuel, it is close to the lowest level of Yin in the npc classification, and its essence is different from ordinary common things.

So this evil wind can only be felt by special things?

Wen Shi did not escape the clutches of the mirror, and the two sides had a sticky match.His sweaty skin was glued to the metal of winter, and he couldn't pull it off.

His neck also began to become stiff, and he was forced to face the animal face in the mirror. The mouth was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that he wanted to bite off the head of the prey.

Wen Shi can be sure that his neck will definitely be bitten off if he didn't think of a way to break the game before the mouth opened to the size of his head.

The only good news is that he changed his direction of movement a little earlier, he was not stuck to the mirror tightly, and his half body was stuck to the wall, and he was still able to move.

The mouth in the mirror almost opened into a hippopotamus, Wen Shi suddenly froze, there is another animal face?

There are clearly two animal face door knockers outside the door, but there is only one in the mirror.He remembered that one of the two animal faces was very energetic, and the other looked sleepy. The one in the mirror was undoubtedly the energetic one.

Wen Shi had tried various methods before, but there was no hint from the game, so he could only put all his eggs in one basket and bet that the way to break the game was on another animal-faced door knocker.

The barely movable right palm rubbed against the edge of the mirror, and blood spurted out.

Wen Shi stretched his arms in the direction of the strange wind in the inner room, trying to lure something that might be there with blood.

"Come on—" Wen Shi's behavior at this moment was a bit like teasing a puppy, and he clicked his tongue twice in bitterness.

The influence of blood on monsters cannot be underestimated at any time.

This move was almost tried and tested, a dull 'hum' sound came to his ears, something woke up, and snored before waking up.With a 'wow', the flame in the fireplace ignited by itself, and in the next second, a beast figure separated from the flame, and rushed towards Wen Shi's arm.

Wen Shi quickly tightened his body, and took the initiative to stick his hands to the mirror.

The beast shadow came from the same direction as the flames. It seemed to be just a shadow, and Wen Shi still couldn't feel the wind when it hit.

The animal face in the mirror protects the food, and is very annoyed at the behavior of snatching the prey.

The shadow of the rushing beast disappeared, and there was a scene of two fierce beasts colliding and fighting in the mirror, but Wen Shi was knocked out instead, and his internal organs seemed to be misplaced.

Now is the best time to escape, but Wen Shi couldn't run away. He stared at the flame that was exposed when the face of a beast opened, and racked his brains to think how to take out the candlestick.

Straight into your mouth?

It's too small to lose an arm, and I'm afraid that he will be involved in the monster fight and be torn apart on the spot.

Wen Shi picked up the lantern.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the blazing flame in the fireplace, and he had other thoughts. The candlestick is now in the mouth of one animal face, and the flame in the fireplace was ignited when another animal face ran out. Maybe the two functions are similar..

Wen Shi hurriedly took out the candles in the small hexagonal lantern on the bedside table, and when he walked to the fireplace, his clothes accidentally rubbed against the harp in the corner.

"Harp: one of the craftsman's works during his lifetime, the strings were once stained with the blood of the craftsman, a violin full of resentment"

The thing that can specifically make the game give hints will not be simple, Wen Shi will put it in the backpack immediately.

"Warning, Illegal income, cannot be accepted."

"Warning, Illegal income, cannot be accepted."

Tried twice without giving up, got exactly the same warning.

what to do?give up?

No, of course carried it on shoulders.

Then Wen Shi came to the fireplace and carefully lit the candle.

The fight in the mirror continued, and the fangs of one animal face snapped off the horns of the other.

Wen Shi didn't dare to delay, protecting the flame from being blown out with his hands, he ran all the way to the study, preparing to use the secret passage to directly enter the attic.

...

church.

In the middle of the night, an unusually grand wedding is taking place.

The real bride was originally wearing a wedding dress. The white mermaid skirt was slightly yellowed, which was close to the texture of an oil painting. She held a paper knife in her left hand and a silver flower in her right hand. The huge and gorgeous flower buds pressed against her chest, covering almost the entire collarbone.The real bride lowered her head slightly, and the tip of her white chin touched the top flower.

The carpet under her feet was once stained with the blood of many players. The lace on the shoes was not tied properly and scattered, and the blood that should have dried up a long time ago still rubbed against the hollow pattern for some reason.

The cuckoo flew out of the wall clock in the dining room, stopped on the statue beside the high platform, and sang over and over again——

Silverflower blooms at midnight

The long red carpet of the church is spread out

...

Come and witness the wedding of the century

Stranger than these are the bridesmaids walking beside the bride.

'Wen Shi' had an exaggerated red face, and he didn't say a word the whole time. He was like a walking corpse. He didn't help lift the bride's skirt when he went up the steps, and walked on his own.

There is no priest.

The high-pitched song of the cuckoo replaced the priest's wedging speech.

The owner of the castle is wearing a bright court suit tonight. He is very partial to red, and the walls of the castle are almost all scarlet.It's a pity that he has to pursue solemnity and choose calm colors to wear in daily life. Until this special moment, he finally chose a dress that is mainly colorful.

This red seems to indicate something.

There was no love in the eyes of the owner of the castle when he saw the real bride, as if he was looking at a perfect work of art, and he was admiring his own creative talent.

Not to mention the real bride, her bloodless face clearly revealed her thoughts: kill him, really want to kill him.

There are only four people in the audience.

Chu An stretched his fingers vigorously, which was a small gesture he often made when thinking about problems.There was a big gap between Chu An's fingers, and he was born with an extra finger. This action made his palm look like a duck web stretched to the extreme.

"I always feel that something is wrong with the new guy."

Chu An fixed his eyes on the person next to the real bride.

The most thoughtful people here are Chu An and Zhao Sanjie.

Zhao Sanjie also felt that something was wrong. The bride suddenly appeared, no matter how it looked, she was in a conspiracy.

If Zhao Sanjie wanted to kill Wen Shi at the beginning to snatch the props and complete the task of increasing the number of monsters, now there is another reason: different positions.

Pei Wenwei, a teammate who is on two boats and obviously leans towards the bride camp, must not stay.

Zhao Sanjie's eyes never left 'Wen Shi' for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes darkened: "He's not Pei Wenwei!"

Although Chu An, who was closest to him, also doubted the newcomer, he thought this conclusion was funny.

There are only so many players in total, it is impossible for the other party to entrust an npc to pretend to be himself.

Zhao Sanjie said in a deep voice, "He's not breathing."

Chu An was stunned for a moment, and took out the props and binoculars to try to look more carefully, making sure that there was no chest rise and fall on the straight figure.

Chu An's face was a little ugly.

What is this bridesmaid who looks the same as the new couple?

Also, should he dismantle it?

As long as the Earl's wedding is successfully completed, the main task will naturally be completed. Under normal circumstances, he should put an end to all episodes.But if the newcomer is not present, he must be plotting something,

While Chu An was hesitating, Zhao Sanjie had already stood up and shouted to the owner of the castle on the stage: "The bridesmaid has been replaced."

Not far away, A'Ling was sitting alone on a chair, thinking about something with downcast eyes.

...

hurry up.

Faster.

I should have five or six minutes left, but Wen Shi knows very well that the plan cannot keep up with the changes, and the wandering corpse may be exposed at any time.

What are you afraid of?

"Your wandering corpse suffered great trauma."

"[Sachet] works, the zombie dodge increases, and the deadly crisis is avoided."

"The wandering corpse exudes the sweet smell of mutated pomegranate flowers, which aroused the disgust of the owner of the castle, so he didn't kill it immediately."

"Do you want to recall the seriously injured walking corpse?"

"yes!"

Before Wen Shi and You Zong exchanged clothes, they gave each other a sachet and rubies that can increase luck attributes.

Peng Lu was able to be successfully refined into a wandering corpse before he died. It was more or less lucky. These two items may magnify this luck.

Candles burn exceptionally fast.

There were only the last twenty or thirty meters of the secret path, and Wen Shi accelerated his pace and rushed over.

Now the fight is all about speed, to see if the real bride can be completely free first, or the owner of the castle will come first.

Taking a step back, as long as he can get the picture frame and give it to the monster, he can complete the main mission of the Monster Alliance, and the monster will provide him with a secret way to leave the castle.

At the end of the secret passage is a wall. Wen Shi groped around in the dark and found a brick with obvious depressions. He pressed down hard, and the wall in front of him turned over automatically. Wen Shi lost his center of gravity. His first reaction was to protect it.The candle, fell to the ground ahead.

The body of the harp on the back cushioned his back, and his ribs seemed to be broken.

Not caring about rubbing his waist at all, Wen Shi's eyes and mind were all focused on the picture frames on the wall.

The picture frame became more and more three-dimensional, until it seemed to come alive at night, and the guillotine above moved strangely by itself.

Wen Shi was clearly the only one in the silent attic, and the weak and painful sobs came from nowhere.

"It hurts, it hurts."

Every word was recited with extra emphasis, constantly conveying the pain of fragmentation.

"My head, where is my head?"

Wen Shi frowned, searching for the source of the sound.

Gululu.

Just then, something rolled next to his shoe.

Wen Shi lowered his head and saw the whole picture of this thing clearly: it was a human head, the broken part of the neck still hung with broken flesh and blood, and the greasy hair stuck to the face indiscriminately.

The human head opened its dead fish eyes, and a smile appeared on its bloody face: "So my head is here."

The sticky hair continued to grow until it wrapped around Wen Shi's ankles, dragging him towards the painting frame, where the guillotine was ready.The head grinned again: "I've been trapped for too long, I'm in pain, and you're in pain as well, unless..."

"Unless I can free you, right? Don't beep, I'm in a hurry, I have brought the candle that can burn your soul out, and I will give you relief now."

Wen Shi almost finished speaking in one breath, and lit the hair wrapped around his ankle with a candle.

Head:?

Horse riding, who got the point?

Why is there still a rush to answer?!
