Chapter 1903 U transcends major events (20)
After the first game showed the special abilities possessed by the murderers, the organizer seemed to no longer want to hide his intentions. He used the scene in the hall of the Nihlet family manor to tell all the duelists that this game can be
This is not a simple chase, and the murderer is not a retarded person who can only wield a chainsaw.
They have all kinds of weird abilities and know how to use psychological tactics. It seems that they may even find their own place in religious classics.
The Gothic hall is very wide, with a high dome. The dark gray stone tiles are covered with a long carpet intertwined with dark green and gold. The complicated and sharp candlesticks fixed on the surrounding walls are like outstretched ghost claws, and the surrounding walls are covered with candlesticks.
The olive green silk hanging down from the pillars echoes the feeling of being in a cold forest.
In the hall stood a group of strange people in strange clothes. Some were dressed like Orthodox priests from the Roman period, some were wearing wizard robes and carried a heavy solid wood staff. Some were dressed as if they would hang out on Baker Street.
Victorian detectives, others unpacking heavy suitcase computers and using complex instruments to monitor nearby radio waves.
"Isn't this place haunted?" Natasha said with some uncertainty. She looked around, and almost without looking carefully, she could guess who these people were, which area they probably came from, and whether they were real or not.
ability.
The last one is the best guess, because no one with real skills would dress themselves up as if they wanted to write their family tree on their face to show that they are very orthodox.
Natasha nudged Batman next to her with her elbow and asked, "Can you deal with ghosts?"
Batman was silent and didn't answer, and he didn't even look like he was thinking. He just scanned everyone present with his sharp eyes, as if he could really determine the other person's genealogy by looking at their appearance.
Here we are also paying attention to whether there are any weird people among the crowd, or in other words, whether there are any more abnormal ones among this group of weird people.
After looking around, the two Batmans came to a conclusion at the same time, that is, the weirdest people here are still their own group.
The image of Batman is not exaggerated, but Natasha wore a sweatshirt and Schiller wore a white coat, which was incompatible with the monsters and monsters in the hall.
What made them even more eye-catching was that soon the old butler came over and led the group to the side hall alone. On the way to their destination, the old butler also said: "Although there is no grand banquet, there is also a party."
This is a simple reception banquet. The Nehlet family will not be slow to treat guests coming from afar. You can go freshen up and rest first. When the reception banquet begins, there will be a dedicated waiter to greet you."
Batman could instantly feel several unkind glances in the hall being directed towards them.
This group of people with strange clothes and weird behaviors are the typical people who have no ability and just use their various quirks to provide psychological comfort to some rich people who are stupid and have a lot of money.
In their view, everyone who comes here is a competitor, and it is best if everyone else is kicked out, leaving them alone to absorb the huge thank you gift.
But now there is a group of people who have received extra courtesy from the host. Is it possible that the other party is better at acting than you?
Facing these looks, Batman didn't feel angry at all, but he still hesitated in his steps because he was thinking about whether it was necessary to remind this group of people that there might be a terrifying murderer in the manor.
They are players participating in the game, so of course they know that there must be a murderer here, and the murderer will not only kill them, but may also kill them indiscriminately, so the group of people in the hall will be very dangerous.
Just as Batman was about to take action, a team of waiters walked out of another side door and led everyone else back to their rooms, saying similar words to the old butler.
This successfully attracted the attention of everyone else. After all, some of them were not rich, and some could even be called poor. A sumptuous reception banquet was already a reward for them.
Watching the crowd disperse one after another and return to their respective rooms, Batman quickened his pace. He thought that when the crowd gathered together, mass murder would be the worst case scenario. Although the crowd dispersed, it would be possible.
Dangerous, but easier to solve for yourself.
The old housekeeper took them to the door of the four rooms at the end of the corridor on the second floor. Schiller glanced at the window in the corridor and found that the window should be the garden of the manor.
So he took the initiative to walk to the door of the room on the right side of the nearest head and expressed his choice of this room. The old housekeeper stretched out a hand to indicate his permission, and Schiller opened the door.
It is also a guest bedroom that is not much different from Wayne Manor, except that the room is decorated in cold colors, and there are no warm-colored decorations, not even deep red earthy brown, only dark blue, dark green, olive green and
Blue and black, it looks simple and heavy.
In the middle of the room is a large European-style bed covered with dark green silk sheets. There are bed frames around the bed, and sharp standing cabinets are placed on both sides of the bed, with some relatively obscure classics on them.
The entire bedroom has three large Gothic floor-to-ceiling windows. In front of the one facing the door is a single sofa and a small coffee table, but they are all made of dark fabrics, leather and metal, and there are no modern design elements in sight.
.
The light source in the entire room is even more exaggerated, basically only the fireplace and candles on one side of the wall provide light.
The glass was foggy for some reason, and natural light could not penetrate at all. The repeated shapes and heavy weight of the Gothic candlestick meant that candles that were too thick were not suitable. Schiller stepped forward and took a look, and found that it was actually animal fat wax.
Moreover, the treatment method was quite retro, which caused the flame to be unstable. The firewood in the fireplace was also handled relatively roughly, causing the firelight in the entire room to flicker constantly.
Schiller stepped forward and touched the sheets. The fireplace was not far from the bed, but the bed was still cold. He went to the window and looked at the garden, but through the glass he could actually see the garden downstairs and the flower pavilion.
There stood a pale little girl, staring straight into his room.
Schiller frowned slightly, just like every protagonist in a horror movie, looking at the little girl with some surprise and hesitation, and then wrote a line of words on the mist of the glass with his finger: "Who are you?
"
The little girl still stared at Schiller until Schiller wrote again: "Are you okay?"
The little girl just made a mouth shape, and she said, "Get out of here."
Schiller sighed, walked to both sides of the window, closed the curtains, and stopped looking at the scene in the garden. At this time, his door was knocked, and a black male servant appeared outside the door.
"Hello, sir, the suit customized to your size has been prepared before you came. It is a dark brown three-piece suit. I am here to ask about the style of your tie and whether you have any other requirements. What do you need?
?"
Schiller paused and then said: "I hope it is a dark green or blue silk patterned tie. If possible, please give me a swordfish brooch."
The black manservant seemed a little surprised, but after thinking for a moment, he still reminded a little hesitantly: "Sir, the clothes we have prepared are enough to meet your requirements, but Mr. Nehlet may be back at noon today."
"Of course, Mr. Nechlet is a pretty liberal man, but his brother Hancock...well, I know this is not what I should say, and I will tell the butler if you need this."
"However, the styles of our brooches may not satisfy you. Do you have any other options? I will bring them all and you can choose and wear them yourself."
"Maybe, a hummingbird brooch?"
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After more than ten minutes, the waiter brought a suitcase containing clothes and a brooch tray with various brooches, including birds, fish, classical sun pattern and other suit brooches.
, and some button decorations.
Schiller changed his clothes and found that there was no full-length mirror in the bedroom, so he opened the curtains again and used the reflection of the glass to tie his tie.
He saw the pale little girl again, but this time she was not staring directly at Schiller, but was sitting on the swing next to the flower pavilion, her head lowered and she didn't know what she was thinking.
After a while, a waiter ran over and seemed to want to take the little girl away, but the little girl shook her head, and the waiter also seemed a little afraid to approach, so he could only turn around and leave.
Schiller watched for a while, and then he noticed that the little girl suddenly turned her head to look at him, her eyes still a little hollow and numb, and combined with her pale face, it looked very scary.
Schiller wrote on the window glass: "If you have any trouble, please come to me here. If there is no trouble, come and have a cup of tea."
It can be seen from the little girl's eyes that she is reading this passage carefully, but she does not seem to understand it. It is not that she does not understand the meaning of the words, but that she does not understand how Schiller said these words.
After arranging his tie, Schiller looked at the brooch plate placed on the shoe cabinet at the door.
Hummingbirds represent good omens in the West, so they can easily appear in some decorations as an embellishment element, and they are very popular among women. Sailfish, on the other hand, are seen as a symbol of strength due to their extremely fast speed and strong body in the ocean.
The representative is usually a decorative element that superiors and men are willing to wear.
These two kinds of brooches are not very rare. Although they are not as common as flowers and suns, there are several styles to choose from. Schiller was originally looking at the swordfish brooch, but his fingers ran across the shining brooch plate.
Finally, he picked up a small but all-gold hummingbird brooch and wore it in the center of his suit pocket.
After sorting out the details of his clothing, Schiller walked back to the window, but he did not stand in the center of the window, but stood on the side with the curtains, looking at the garden at an oblique angle.
The little girl no longer stood or sat on the swing in a daze. She walked to the side of the bush and stared directly at another figure, which was a boy slightly older than her.
The boy huddled behind the porch. As soon as he took a step, the little girl clasped her hands, stretched out her head and screamed at him, making some unsystematic sounds. She kept waving her arms, describing her posture in particular.
Terrible.
The boy seemed frightened, stamped his feet on the spot, and ran back to call someone. Soon a group of waiters rushed out and took the little girl away from the scene.
Schiller watched all this silently, but his focus was different from those of the scumbags who also saw this farce from the window. In other words, they noticed the same thing, but they had different views.
Schiller saw that six tall, middle-aged maids rushed forward, but for a while they were unable to completely hold the little girl down. It was only after two more male servants arrived that they successfully carried the little girl away.
