Chapter 34 Human Skin Secret Room
Xiao Lan beckoned to Luo, motioning him to take away the dagger in the hidden drawer.
Luo reached out and took the dagger, and glanced at the item attributes on it: "Sir, I don't need a weapon."
Xiao Lan looked at him suspiciously, only to see Luo stretched out the other free hand after he finished speaking. Under Xiao Lan's gaze, the slender palm with black gloves gradually deformed, and the sharp fingernails protruded from the fingertips, turning into pitch-black claws.
It seems to be much sharper than a dagger.
This reminded Xiao Lan that Luo was not a human being, and it seemed that Luo used his claws to fight with other parts of himself before.
Luo looked at the dagger in his hand: "It's an interesting tool."
Xiao Lan hasn't recovered from the blow: "What is the meaning of his existence?"
Luo showed a meaningful smile: "Probably hurts those ordinary people who have worked hard for a year, and when they look at the balance at the end of the year, they find that they can't even afford a single toy."
Ordinary person Xiao Lan who can't even afford toys: "..."
I suddenly feel sore in my knee.
Xiao Lan looked at this golden, high-end toy worth 300,000 yuan. I really don't understand the world of you rich people.
However, he thought of a person who was very suitable for this prop - Wang Teddy.
Wang Taidi, who needs to earn 100 million yuan, should not let go of these 300,000 yuan.
Although it was only a small amount for his 100 million, it was still 300,000. And as a krypton gold player, he also has a lot of props. Judging from the previous contact, the characters of the Wang brothers are all tolerable, and they should not do things like deliberately cheating people.
The Blade of Demeter was handed over to Luo for safekeeping. Xiao Lan was going to find a time to trade with Wang Teddy after leaving the dungeon. After all, there were only two pitiful spaces left in his storage backpack.
After leaving the library, Xiao Lan and Luo continued to pretend to hang out in the manor looking for clues.
When the two were pretending to enjoy flowers in the garden, the conversation between the maid and the gardener was gently passed through the layers of flowers and trees.
"Is the white rose that Madam wanted today ready?"
"It's all here, do you know why Madam asked for white roses by name?"
"I don't know, on this day of the month Mrs. makes us prepare lots of white roses for her room, and then she goes out and doesn't come back until the next night."
"I don't know what Mrs. is doing?"
"Oh, don't inquire about Madam's affairs, be careful that the housekeeper finds out and punishes you!"
Then came the footsteps of a group of maids hurrying away.
Xiao Lan and Luo looked at each other, and it seemed that it was the best time to enter the fifth floor soon. Except for today, the fifth floor will not be so slack in the next month.
They secretly followed the maids and watched them bring their handfuls of white roses to a room on the fifth floor.
Xiao Lan looked at the door of the room where a large number of white roses were sent. This door not only looked very delicate, but also extremely heavy. If it was closed, no sound could come out of the room.
Now the door was open, and there were very light footsteps from the maids.
The two took the opportunity to sneak into the room. The room was as luxurious as before. The room was huge, and it was divided into two rooms, inside and outside. There were a lot of decorations in it, which made it easier for them to hide.
Looking for a good opportunity, Xiao Lan hid in the blind spot formed by the large decorative vase in the corner and the curtains.
After a while, the maid door left, and the room became quiet again.
But Xiao Lan did not feel relieved. Although the maids left, after all, it was Mrs. Bella who was in the room. If she rushed in, it would be like giving the boss a thousand miles.
After waiting for a while, Mrs. Bella's heavy footsteps sounded in the room, and with the faint sound of the mechanism turning, it gradually disappeared, and there seemed to be a room hidden inside.
Not long after, the sound of the mechanism turning sounded again. This time, Mrs. Bella's figure came out from the inside. She seemed to be holding something in her hand and left with a humming song.
Xiao Lan didn't come out from the corner of hiding until after confirming Mrs. Bella's figure on the window and leaving in the carriage.
The two walked towards the inside together.
On the way, Luo also left a black mark on the door that no one else could find. If someone entered the room, he would know as soon as possible.
Inside was a spacious bedroom, perhaps to match Mrs. Bella's size, the furniture was much larger than usual. The interiors are luxuriously furnished, and every detail is filled with exquisite carvings, even the mermaid statue on the bedpost.
One of the walls caught Xiao Lan's attention.
There are various decorations in Mrs. Bella's bedroom. Except for the location of this wall, there is nothing on the ground. All the decorations are fixed to the wall.
Taking advantage of the light, Xiao Lan slightly turned his head and approached the ground. Sure enough, he saw inconspicuous semi-circular scratches on the ground, as if the wall had been rotated many times.
So, where would the switch be?
In film and television dramas, switches are usually designed as vases or candlesticks, but will this be too conspicuous? Xiao Lan gently picked up the vase next to her, and sure enough, there was no change, it was just an ordinary vase.
Xiao Lan was thinking about Mrs. Bella. This is her private room. Usually, no one would break into it. It should be a place that she is very comfortable with.
If you want to hide things in your own room, most people will choose a place they are very familiar with, such as the bottom of the bed, under the pillow, or relatively hidden such as the wardrobe, closet...
Xiao Lan looked at some places where there might be organs, and finally his eyes fell on a decorative flower on the head of the bed. The decorative shape was very symmetrical, but the color of the flower on the right was slightly dim, like Been rubbed repeatedly.
Taking two steps forward, Xiao Lan reached out and pressed the flower-shaped decoration.
Immediately, there was a slight mechanical sound, and the wall next to it spun open.
The first thing that catches the eye is a dark corridor. After passing through the corridor, the two entered this hidden room. There are no windows in the room.
With a light swipe, Luo lit a match, and by the light of the match, he lit the candlestick placed at the door.
Xiao Lan was slightly startled: "When did you hide the matches?"
Luo still kept smiling: "In order to help you, I just made a little preparation."
Xiao Lan wanted to sigh that Luo, this little assistant, was too competent, but he glanced around the room, and everything in it became clear under the candlelight, making him not in the mood to say anything else.
This room is like a cloakroom, full of hangers, but the clothes hanging on the hangers are not clothes, they are carefully peeled off, and even specially treated - human skin.
These human skins are very soft, and even exude a unique radiance of the skin.
Countless human skins were hung in the room like clothes, and they also wore clothes with different shapes, like dolls in a dress-up game. In the center of the house is a human skin with butterfly wings, gorgeous jewelry, and a beautiful shape, like a unique decoration.
This kind of thing that looks like a person but not a person, and has a strong meaning of death, is the most likely to cause fear.
There is also a large oil painting on the wall in front of it. It depicts a group of smiling maids. These maids have good looks, at least they are of the type with delicate facial features, and there are also a few big beauties. The painter's skills are very good, and they outline every fold of their clothes very vividly.
Xiao Lan took a few steps closer and stepped forward to observe carefully, Luo holding a candlestick beside him illuminated him.
Soon he found something wrong. The smiles on their faces were very stiff and false, all of the same arc, and the smiles did not affect the eye muscles, which looked very strange.
The eyes of the maids were staring straight ahead, as if they were silently looking at Xiao Lan.
"Sir." Luo pointed to the lower right corner of the painting, "This one seems to be the female player who entered the game with us."
Xiao Lan looked over and saw that she was indeed the only female player in this game. Right now, she was wearing the same uniform as the other maids, looking at Xiao Lan with a mysterious smile.
The color of the whole painting looks uniform, and there is no feeling of new paint in this corner, as if she should be there originally, with an indescribable sense of eerie.
It seems that she has not been able to find a way out in the game.
When he got closer to the wall, Xiao Lan realized that there was a layer of black splash marks on the wall of this room. It was easy to think of bloodstains from a long time ago. It was like a bloody massacre had occurred here.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Xiao Lan looked at these human skins again.
This time, he made a more detailed discovery. Many human skins have stitching marks. The same thread as the skin color was used. The stitches were particularly fine. The damaged areas were repaired meticulously. At first glance, the scars were almost invisible. .
Suddenly he found a ball in the corner under a pile of human skins.
Xiao Lan stretched out her hand and unfolded it. This was a sketch of a maid. The maid in the painting was beautiful and her painting skills were very ordinary, but the expression on the maid's face was very natural, which was completely different from the stiff smile on the exquisite oil painting.
The portrait was also wrapped in several blood-stained strips of cloth, as if torn from clothes, with messy writing on them:
ใMadame is crazy! She is going to kill us! She said to use us as a sacrifice! ใ
[She signed a contract with an unknown existence and gained a strange power, we can't leave here]
[Never eat the food made by the lady, the dishes she cooks have the magic power that men cannot resist]
ใHelp! Help! ใ
Perhaps the maids tried to call for help, but they failed.
Then he was locked in a room and experienced a brutal massacre. The walls were stained with blood and eventually turned into skins in the room.
From these messages, it seems that Mrs. Bella made a contract with an unknown existence after sacrificing the maid, and then gained the power to indulge men and may have cured her.
There may have been many men who were crazy about her, but since the players entered the game, except for the maid of questionable gender, they have never seen any male masters or male guests in this manor. Where have they all gone?
Why did Mrs. Bella send out invitations to let players come to the manor? What is her purpose?
Coupled with the indifferent attitude of the housekeeper, she didn't seem to have thought that they might become her own male masters, which is why she was so arrogant and indifferent.
Does she know that these people have no chance at all.
Suddenly, Xiao Lan's thinking was interrupted by the rustling of clothes. He looked at Luo and found that the other party was just holding the candlestick and was motionless.
Next to them, the human skins that were originally hung like clothes started to twist, and the sound of clothes rubbing came from them.
They moved towards Xiao Lan and slowly raised their withered and unsupported hands.
He looked to the other side, and found that the maids in the oil painting who were looking straight ahead were now all looking at the corner where he was, and the iris had completely turned to the corner of the eye, revealing a large white part of the eye, matched with the original smile, making people feel Creepy.
Xiao Lan and Luo were targeted by them.
