The three of them all looked in Lan Ya's direction, Zhou Zhou's eyes were full of surprise, and Alvia was calm, and he found out the moment the other party opened the door.

And the tall man who was crying on Zhou Zhou's shoulder was full of shock and horror in his eyes, especially when he found the high stool in Lan Ya's hand, he remembered what happened to him not long ago, and he subconsciously walked behind Zhou Zhou.Hiding, but Zhou Zhou's height is not as high as him, hiding behind Zhou Zhou most of his body is exposed.

The light in the corridor was dim, most of the man's body was hidden in the darkness, and half of his ferocious face was even more terrifying under the orange light.One hand tightly grasped the young man's shoulder, completely covering the entire shoulder, and the imprisoned young man was set off even thinner. At this time, the young man was staring at her intently, with the surprise of seeing hope in his eyes.

Lan Ya held the stool legs with both hands, and stared at the man and Zhou Zhou. Nervousness and fear filled her whole body, and her breathing was very rapid, but she did not flinch.

Zhou Zhou was originally happy to have finally found Lan Ya, but seeing her frightened and defensive expressions, his joy gradually turned into doubt.

"Lan Ya, what are you doing?"

Lan Ya: "Don't be afraid Zhou Zhou, I'll save you!"

Zhou Zhou:???

On the contrary, the man behind Zhou Zhou looked at Lan Ya's "savage" eyes, and he immediately started crying again after being very aggrieved. The cry was loud and hoarse.

Alvia stood in the middle, looking at Lan Ya who was trembling all over and trying to save others, and the man who was obviously wronged and frightened after seeing Lan Ya, his eyes flickered slightly.

Alvia: "You guys, is there some misunderstanding?"

Zhou Zhou also noticed that the expressions of the two were abnormal. He originally wanted to go to Lan Ya's side to ask, but the man behind him grabbed his shoulders firmly and couldn't move. The man behind was crying so sad that he almost wiped his tearsIt was on Zhou Zhou's body, and the hand holding Zhou Zhou was also very hard.

"Why are you crying?" Zhou Zhou couldn't leave, so he could only turn his attention to the man behind him.

Hearing that someone was concerned, the man pointed the short hand on the shoulder in Lan Ya's direction, and complained, "She was the one who hit me."

He obviously had a frightening appearance, and his voice was deep and deep like that of a mature man, but his complaining movements and tone were very skilled, with a little childishness of a teenager.

Zhou Zhou looked at Lan Ya, then shifted his eyes to the stool in her hand: "Lan Ya, you..."

Lan Ya interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Zhou Zhou, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Seeing that Zhou Zhou was being restrained by the other party and would not let him leave, Lan Ya didn't care about thinking about the strange atmosphere between them, and rushed towards this side holding the stool high.

The man behind Zhou Zhou was so startled that his crying stopped for a moment, and he immediately wanted to turn around and run away.

Zhou Zhou also widened his eyes and watched the petite Lan Ya rushing towards here holding a stool.After all, Lan Ya looked shy and weak, and didn't even dare to speak loudly, but at this moment she rushed towards here holding a stool.

If Zhou Zhou knew that she had already faced off with the man behind her twice, and each time it ended in a fiasco for the man, she would probably be even more shocked.

Lan Ya's warrior-like move was unsuccessful. When passing by Alvia, the stool he was holding was easily taken away by Alvia. He put the stool aside casually: "What are you going to do? Zhou Zhou is fine."

Lan Ya fell into a daze because the weapon was taken away. Looking at Alvia, who was understating it, and Zhou Zhou, who was clearly "hijacked" but calm, finally realized that something seemed wrong.

Seeing that Lan Ya had no weapons, the people behind Zhou Zhou stopped running away, but quietly looked at Lan Ya from behind Zhou Zhou.Faced with the ferocious face and weird arms at close range, Lan Ya felt her breath was suffocated, her legs that were originally braced were a little weak, tears swirled in her eye sockets, and the tears were about to fall in the next moment.

"Ahhhh~"

At the moment before Lan Ya was about to cry, she didn't think that the man cried worse than her, but Lan Ya held back her tears.

People in front and behind were tearful, the man let go because he was running away, Zhou Zhou went a few steps to Lan Ya: "Lan Ya, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Ya looked at Zhou Zhou who showed concern, and felt grievance and fear in her heart for a moment.For the timid her, the previous experience was really terrible, but fortunately, she finally found two companions.

"Where did you go, I'm so scared."

Zhou Zhou stroked her hair and comforted her softly, "We've been looking for you too."

Alvia, who was standing next to the two of them, did not participate in the conversation between them, but only took a meaningful look at Zhou Zhou's hand on top of Lan Ya's head.

The owner of the castle behind the three of them looked at the scene in front of them, and finally realized that they were in the same group!

"Master!"

Suddenly there was the hoarse voice of the Old Housekeeper on the stairs. He leaned on a cane and hurried up with his hunched body. He even held a part of his arm in his hand. It was the part of the man's body that fell out of the window when Lan Ya kicked him away..

"Why are you here, what happened, why is your hair wet? I found your arm underneath." Changing his silent image in front of the players, the Old Housekeeper is like an ordinary old man who cares for his younger generation.Nagging at the man and putting his arm back in place himself.

The man with his arm fixed didn't look so scary now, except for his slightly hideous appearance, he looked no different from anyone else.

For Lan Ya, if she saw a man in his current appearance when she saw him for the first time, perhaps there would not be so many unexpected things.It can only be said that the first sight of the opponent turning his head 180 degrees and the whole body dismembered in an instant left too many shadows on Lan Ya.

Even now that the two parties have explained clearly that the previous incident was just a misunderstanding, she still closely followed Zhou Zhou, not daring to leave, let alone approach the man.

The same is true for the owner of the castle. No matter how harmless Lan Ya's appearance is, his shadow of the other party cannot be eliminated for a while, and he is still closely following the butler at this time.The resentful eyes kept looking towards Zhou Zhou. He wanted to talk to Zhou Zhou, but Lan Ya was too close, and he didn't dare to go over.

The Old Housekeeper had a calm face, and he didn't explain the fact that he was torn apart before. He just introduced the identity of the man to a few people.

"This is the owner of the castle, Locke."

Zhou Zhou also introduced the names of himself and his companions to them. After hearing Zhou Zhou's name, Locke, the owner of the castle, looked at Zhou Zhou and nodded seriously. When Zhou Zhou introduced the female player as Lan Ya, he looked disgusted.Turning his head away, what he thought in his heart was completely expressed on his face.

"You said that you would like to thank the owner of the castle for taking him in. There are still some people downstairs. You can thank the young master in front of you." There are not many people left on the first floor.One hid upstairs and has not come down until now.

Several people walked down the stairs together, Locke and Lan Ya were very far away from each other, wishing that the other party would disappear immediately.

Walking around the corner, seeing the player who was still fainting, Zhou Zhou asked casually, "Why hasn't he woke up yet?"

The Old Housekeeper didn't say that the other party woke up once in the middle, but was fainted by him again, and replied to Zhou Zhou's words lightly: "Maybe he is not in good health."

"Oh." Zhou Zhou had no doubts.

The rest of the players did not leave on the first floor, which means that they still want to pass the level. Even if they saw the Old Housekeeper with only one head standing in front of them intact, although everyone dared not approach them, it was no longer the same as beforeYelling.

After all, compared to a talking head, his current appearance is very normal, as long as he doesn't change into a mess, it is barely acceptable.

The Old Housekeeper introduced the identity of the castle master to the remaining players, and the players looked at the man who followed closely behind the Old Housekeeper.

Before going downstairs, the old housekeeper helped Locke tidy up his clothes, so he looked neat and tidy, and his tall figure always felt uncoordinated in a suit.

Moreover, his face was covered with scars, centipede-like scars snaking across his face, each scar was round, either there was a circle-like scar on his face, or it extended from his face toOn the back of the head, there are so many scars that players can only notice the interlaced scars on his face at first glance, completely ignoring his appearance.

It's just that the appearance is a little scary, and the players who didn't know that Locke would be as divided as the butler breathed a sigh of relief, and introduced themselves to Locke one by one.

Locke nodded politely to everyone, but did not take the initiative to speak.

The key to clearing the level is the castle owner. The players look at each other and ask Locke if they can stay in the castle for a few more days.

The Old Housekeeper looked at Locke, and seemed to be asking what he meant. Locke looked at the Old Housekeeper, then at Zhou Zhou, and then replied: "Yes."

The players were immediately relieved, they had already obtained the consent of the castle owner, and they only needed to stay for three days to pass the level. Such a dungeon is really too simple.

"However..." Locke gasped, and continued: "Staying here is conditional."

"What restrictions?" the player asked.

Old Housekeeper: "You can't leave your room at night, and you have to clean the castle during the day."

It doesn't sound too difficult, and players agree.

After that, the Old Housekeeper also prepared lunch for everyone, saying that they were full and ready to work.

The player who ran out of the castle did not come back, and the unconscious player in the stairs was also dragged out by the Old Housekeeper. His teammates wanted to plead for him, but the Old Housekeeper refused. The other party said that the player did not ask to stay.In the castle, so must leave now.

The others could only watch helplessly as the player was dragged outside the door.

The lunch prepared by the old housekeeper was very sumptuous. Everyone sat on the big round table on the first floor, watching the food on the table, and no one started to do it first.Without the randomness they had when they entered the castle at the beginning, the players were a lot more cautious at this time.

It wasn't until the Old Housekeeper who had finished serving the dishes left that the players breathed a sigh of relief.Locke sat on the main seat. Although he looked hideous, he looked much more friendly than the Old Housekeeper who would turn around.

The players whispered to the people nearby, discussing with each other about the identity of the old housekeeper.

"That old man must be a ghost."

"It should be an NPC, but it looks a little scary, maybe there is no danger."

"No danger? You didn't see before his head fell off and he was still talking. My san value probably fell off."

"I don't think it's that simple. Look at the scars on the castle owner's face. Maybe there is some hidden thread inside."

Locke kept his head down. When the players were talking to their companions, they looked at him from time to time. Before the butler was there, everyone didn't even dare to breathe. Now that the butler is not there, they can just ask him about things.

This player felt that the task of clearing the customs could not be as simple as staying in the castle for three days, and maybe something would happen within these three days.The weird butler, the scars on the owner of the castle, and the players who disappeared last night, each of them may be the key to clearing the level. Taking advantage of the fact that the Old Housekeeper is not here, he asked Locke what happened to his face.There are so many scars.

Although the players were also very curious, they never asked.In the interstellar era, no matter what kind of scars can be restored by medical means, they also speculate whether there are any hidden secrets in these preserved scars, which are likely to be related to the dungeon clearance task.

Locke hasn't cried since he came down the stairs. He has the same sullen face as the Old Housekeeper, and with his face covered with scars, he looks very unfriendly.

"It's natural." Locke said in a low voice, staring at the food on the table.

intrinsic?

How could it be natural?

A player suddenly had a brain hole, so there are hidden meanings to the scars?For example, can it form a certain pattern, or a map that can pass the level?Or is it cursed?And their task is actually to help the castle owner undo the curse during this time or something?

"Is it born like this? Do these scars have other meanings?" the player continued to ask.

Except for Zhou Zhou and Alvia, the players here know that Locke and Old Housekeeper are higher-level players, and everyone else regards them as NPCs in the dungeon, so every NPC, and what happened to them, saidIf it is, it may be related to the customs clearance clue.

Locke looked up at the player who asked him, and asked with a very serious expression: "Do you really want to know?"

It sounded like there was something hidden, the player nodded immediately, and the other people present also cheered up.

Seeing that everyone was interested, Locke glanced at Zhou Zhou again, and found that he was also staring at him curiously. After thinking about it, he said, "Okay then."

After he finished speaking, he stretched out a hand and touched his forehead, and everyone was watching his movements closely.

On Locke's forehead, a ferocious scar similar to a centipede runs through the entire forehead, and extends from the front to the back of the head. Although the back is covered by the hair, the scar under the hair can still be vaguely seen.

I saw Locke's four fingers merged, resting on his forehead, and his index finger pressed against his temple.

Just when everyone was wondering what he was going to do, Locke's forehead was opened from where the scar was.

opened!!!

The scar surrounding the entire forehead is like a closed box. When it is lifted lightly, the Tianling cover is uncovered. There is no brain in the uncovered Tianling cover. It is the same as the cross-section of the old housekeeper's severed limb. It is pitch black.

The dining table, which was still making a little noise, was suddenly silent.

The players were dumbfounded.
