    Because it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and night was about to fall in two or three hours, so for the sake of caution, everyone did not divide them into too many groups.

    "Why don't you go outside to check? Obviously the pool and the maze are the most eye-catching signs in the whole picture!" Xin Beibei questioned.

    Shi Zhendong said with a long heart: "At present, it seems that these two things are not suspicious for the time being. We'd better concentrate on finding out the rooms in the castle."

    Xin Beibei showed a regretful expression, but did not say more.

    The remaining people were divided into two groups, and they looked at the other buildings of the castle one by one, and then they were scheduled to return to the lobby at 6:30 for dinner.

    More than two hours passed very quickly, and the two groups of people did not dare to waste time outside, and they all returned before dinner.

    Qin Ci’s team is in charge of the circular building: “The building has six floors, which is considered the tallest building in the castle. The first to third floors go up from the stairs below. The layout is exactly the same as the fourth floor. A semi-circular hall and a semi-circular room with the door closed. The current door color is natural wood. The inside is very empty. There is only one...empty large glass jar standing in the room, about two meters high."

    Everyone felt heavy, as if those empty glass jars were waiting for someone to fill them up.

    "You mean, the circular building has six floors?" Zhu Haowen, a member of another group, asked at the moment, "We are divided into five colors at present, so what is the purpose of the other floor? "

    Qin Ci naturally couldn’t figure it out: "The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are separated from the bottom. Our corridor leads to the fourth floor. To reach the fifth and sixth floors, we need to climb up the copper ladder outside the building. Brother Ke's movements are more agile..."

    Ke Xun knows: "I will go up and have a look tomorrow."

    Ye Ningchen couldn't help but ask, "How is the situation with Senior Zhang?"

    Qin Ci's expression darkened: "The red liquid no longer overflows. The stuff inside has become the size of a fist. If you don't look closely, you will almost ignore it."

    Regarding the continuous shrinking of Zhang Tianwei's corpse, everyone seems to be numb. After such continuous shrinking, the result is probably completely squeezed dry and the last drop of color is also squeezed out.

    "What about Haowen's group? What did you find?" Shi Zhendong looked at Zhu Haowen.

    Xin Beibei's expression was a little unhappy, and his eyes were thrown at Ke Xun: "What's new in the group leader?"

    Ke Xun thought Xin Beibei was a bit funny, but this group didn’t have a big gain just now, so I couldn’t laugh at the slightest: “We went to the most central building, but the door was locked tightly. There was no key to open it. It’s the same with a building, we went outside and looked at the pool and the maze."

    "You went to the maze?!" Xin Beibei let out a surprise.

    "You seem to be very interested in the maze." Mu Yiran's eyes were sharp.

    "I've always wanted to go to that maze. I've seen it in the movie before." Xin Beibei was aggrieved. "Are there any new discoveries in the maze?"

    Ke Xun: "The structure inside the labyrinth is very complicated. We only turned around in the outer circle, and we didn't find anything wrong for the time being."

    Zhu Haowen: "If possible, tomorrow we'd better stand on a commanding height to look down at the maze and draw a map of its route, so that it will be easier to find the direction."

    Xin Beibei looked at Zhu Haowen: "In other words, your group found nothing just now."

    Zhu Haowen didn't bother to look at this woman, and looked directly at her boyfriend: "We found something wrong with the pool, and the coins inside have changed."

    "The coin has changed? Is it different from what was observed in the morning?" Shi Zhendong asked.

    Ke Xun nodded: "It was rather scribbled in the morning, and there was an accident upstairs, so the observation was interrupted. We only remember that there was a coin with a moon-shaped pattern on Zhang Tianwei in the pool at that time. As for He Yu No one looked at the Tic Tac Toe pattern."

    "What happened to those coins?" someone asked.

    "The moon-shaped coins are gone," Ke Xun replied. "Moreover, we searched the entire pool and found no coins with the Tic Tac Toe pattern."

    "What does this mean? After a person dies, the coin representing its texture will disappear?" Shi Zhendong couldn't understand the mystery. "But you clearly saw the moon-shaped pattern in the morning. Could it be that...Zhang Tianwei was still there at the time? not dead?"

    Zhang Tianwei had been soaked in the blood-red bottle at that time, it is hard to imagine that the person did not die at that time.

    There was a dead silence at the dinner table.

    It was Ye Ningchen who broke the silence: "If the same thing happens to me, please do your best to kill me."

    What can I do if I try my best?

    Although the dinner was sumptuous, everyone only regarded it as a necessity for a good stomach, and walked upstairs after barely eating.

    The colors in the hall are gradually darkening, and the night especially belonging to this world is coming.

    "Be extra careful tonight." Mu Yiran, like last night, did not rush to leave the first floor.

    "It's me who should say this," Ke Xun stood beside Mu Yiran. "The one who is most likely to have an accident tonight is Ye Ningchen in your room."

    "The danger that can be predicted is not the greatest danger."

    "You mean..."

    Mu Yiran looked at the darkening indigo pattern on the clock: "Indigo is bright, and cyan is dark."

    "That's right, no matter which color it is, it has nothing to do with our blue room." Ke Xun lifted his arm, "According to the principle of color addition, regarding the victims of cyan, except our room is the green room."

    If there will be two corpses tomorrow morning, one of them should belong to Ye Ningchen, and the other may be anyone in the blue room or the green room.

    "I'm just wondering whether the person related to Cyan knows everything." Mu Yiran's words are meaningful.

    "If you know, why don't you tell it, let's find a way together."

    "It's hard to tell, maybe it's because of being rejected, or maybe it's because of something else." Mu Yiran looked at the gray pool and maze outside the window. "No matter what, the danger at night is irresistible. Don't act rashly. "

    "Yan, this is caring about me." Ke Xun's voice suddenly became relaxed-after experiencing too much return to life and death, some things can be separated from life and death.

    Mu Yiran didn't speak any more, because the darkening of the night made the fine curly patterns on his body become black and white, and the whole person seemed to be turned into a finely crafted print.

    The two went upstairs one after another and returned to the lobby on the second floor.

    Although it is night, everything is a clear silhouette, such as light gray stairs, dark gray tables and chairs, and black bottomless floors and walls.

    The bedroom door is a dazzling light gray in the dark, it looks like there are only four at this moment, and the middle door merges with the wall at this moment, as if disappearing into the void.

    Ke Xun returned to his own room, everything in it was the same as last night, with the patterns that belonged to the two ladies lying on different beds.

    "Group leader, we just said that when there was an accident last night, why didn't anyone call for help." The polka dot pattern belonging to Guo Lixia turned over and looked towards Ke Xun, "If something happens tonight, , Will you still be silent?"

    "Even if someone calls for help, we can't go to other rooms to help." Xin Beibei's body looked like a narrow strip at night, and the small diamond patterns all over made people dizzy.

    Ke Xun didn't say anything, and just lay down where he was last night.

    Now facing the two women in the same room, my mood is a bit complicated. After all, the blue color can only be brought out from the blue room. Ke Xun firmly believes that he has never done this before, so the suspects are left with these two in the room. woman.

    "You said, what secrets are hidden in that maze?" Ke Xun suddenly asked such a sentence.

    "There will never be a signature hidden there," Xin Beibei said.

    "Why see?"

    "There are green plants, and there are no other facilities. Unless you sign the name on a leaf, how do you find it?"

    "Yeah." Ke Xun yawned and stopped making a sound.

    Maybe everyone was tired, Guo Lixia's snoring sound soon sounded in the room.

    Ke Xun was not sleepy, staring unblinkingly at the silhouetted window and the night outside like black flannel.

    If you look carefully, the lattice lattice is really like what Miao Zipei said, it is a lily of different shapes, but because of the beautiful composition, it is almost impossible to distinguish its original appearance.

    About two hours later, Guo Lixia had entered a deep sleep, and Xin Beibei was silent. When Ke Xun was fighting with his upper and lower eyelids, the whole room went into darkness unexpectedly.

    There was no sleep for a moment, Ke Xun opened his eyes silently, trying to see through everything hidden in the darkness.

    If, as previously guessed, this piece of darkness belongs to a certain shadow, what is the coverage of this shadow? Where is the entity of the shadow?

    When people are extremely dangerous, they often have something similar to the sixth sense. Ke Xun is like this at this time, as if he can confirm without basis that this shadow is just passing by his own window.

    But when the darkness gradually left, Ke Xun still almost screamed.

    All the Morris patterns that belonged to the window are gone!

    This means that the windows of the room are fully opened.

    Who did it? Is it the outside person or the inside person?

    Ke Xun remained motionless, listening to Guo Lixia's snoring in his ears, rolling his eyes, and suddenly discovered that Xin Beibei did not know when he changed his posture. At this moment, he was sitting on the opposite bed.

    Ke Xun said nothing, trying to make the other party think he was still asleep.

    The diamond pattern exclusive to Xin Beibei stays by the bed in a straight sitting posture. Because of the limitations of the night, it is not known where she is looking seriously.

    Are you looking out the window? Still looking at Ke Xun's bed?

    Xin Beibei sat in a straight posture for several minutes before lying back on the bed.

    Ke Xun watched the open window and found that he had no strength to sit up and close the window. ——The whole person seemed to be collapsed on the bed. When the shadow descended last night, I had a similar feeling.

    Who opened the window? It should be Xin Beibei.

    It can only be Xin Beibei, because the latches of the windows are inside the house and it is impossible to open them from the outside.

    What does Xin Beibei want to do?

    Is Xin Beibei still Xin Beibei?

    Did He Yu and Zhang Tianwei of last night open the windows from the room in this way?

    Could it be that the shadow can only open the windows with the help of the people in the house? So is the black shadow a shadow or an entity?

    Ke Xun looked at the empty gray window frame. The whole window was like an open door, sending out an invitation to something outside.
