A little earlier, before the speed was tampered with.

Kelly finally reached a suitable position.

She had not yet been able to fully see the details of the castle's back entrance, but it seemed that a commotion had begun in the castle.

Countless people poured out from the auditorium, from the storage room, from the tower, and from the shadows like a swarm of ants, moving towards the back door.

Kelly stopped.

Continue to take a detour on the hillside, or...

According to this distance, if she no longer conserves her strength and sprints with all her strength, she may be able to reach the edge of the castle in more than twenty minutes with the help of gravity.

Driven by some strange reason, she had an idea.

The opportunity was too good to miss, and she immediately decided to take the opportunity to go to the castle.

When she really started running, it seemed that she was running faster than she had imagined. The scene behind the scenes unfolded in front of her. At this moment, there was no longer countless black fog.

Everything changed because of her.

A weird and winding cement road appeared in front of her, and she ran along the road behind the scenes without hesitation.

The ground also became flat, the gravel took the initiative to make way for her, the trees also gently lifted their branches and leaves, and her body became lighter and lighter with every turn.

Her speed did not exceed the limits of her body, but it exceeded the laws of physics. This was the first time Kelly knew that curves and broken lines are sometimes shorter than straight lines.

She didn't dare to return to reality while running, because she didn't know whether the original world waiting for her on the other side was.

Ten minutes? Or less? She could no longer accurately judge the flow of time, but Kelly could really see the end of this road.

She rushed out.

A pushing feeling appeared around Kelly, and she was hurriedly thrown out of the behind-the-scenes world, as if if she stayed a little longer, a very bad fate would befall her.

The girl fell to the ground. If any guards found her nearby, they would be able to subdue Kelly immediately, but it was impossible for anyone to show up here.

Not all guards have disappeared, but their distribution has become much thinner.

This was the safest no-man's land she had seen on the hillside, and it was also Kelly's original destination.

This time, the scene behind the scenes unfolded according to her wishes.

Her physical strength quickly returned to full strength, and the benefits of regular exercise were now evident.

Kelly stood up again.

The wall in front of us is only three meters high because it was not built for war. It only needs to block those curious people. At the same time, it cannot be built too high to attract attention.

Kelly climbed over the wall in a few seconds and moved toward the tower quietly and quickly.

From the crowd that just came out, it could be seen that more people dressed as servants came from the tower, which was where she guessed Veronica was.

However, the number of servants made Kelly a little surprised and a little nauseated, because it was not at all like the number of people this tower could accommodate, unless they were all crowded together when sleeping.

Relying on the crowd distribution she had just observed on the hillside and her unnatural intuition, Kelly was like a wild cat sneaking into a wolf's den, quietly approaching the cub deep inside the wolf pack.

The gate of the tower is simple and majestic, which makes people feel a sense of solemnity from the heart, as if the person living inside is not a noble lady, but a sage who needs to be respected.

Kelly gently put her hand on the door and used strength.

The door is unlocked.

Whether it was due to carelessness or confidence, no one locked the door, which made Kelly's next actions much smoother.

You know, this is a tower without windows. She doesn't think she can climb to the top and get in through those small openings.

The hall on the first floor was empty. There were some weird sculptures on the wall. There were electric lights, but they were not lit. Only a few oil lamps gave off a dim light.

In the corner of the hall, there is a spacious spiral staircase. The stairs are covered with dark blankets. Because the light is not bright enough, Kelly cannot identify its specific color.

Kelly stepped onto the spiral staircase and began to lean against the wall, listening carefully to the sounds around her. If someone approached her, she could hide quickly.

Before reaching the first floor, Kelly stopped and observed for a moment. There were no people on the first floor, the second floor, and the third floor, and there was no light.

It is a building with oil lamps and electric lamps, so why not turn on the lights? Even if it is a fire.

Until she reached the fourth floor.

Kelly swore, she swore to King Arthur, she swore to the Creator, she never heard a sound.

However, an old woman was coming down the stairs and facing Kelly.

The girl's heart was in her throat.

There was no time to escape, so she had to pretend to stand calmly, but she didn't know how terrifying what was waiting for her next would be.

The old woman was so old that she no longer looked like a living person. The wrinkles on her face were all wrinkled and looked like they would turn into dust and scatter at any time. Her bones seemed to be tied into several knots inside her body.

She raised her head and glanced at Kelly:

"Are you new? Didn't you ask someone to go to the back door? What are you doing here?"

Kelly breathed a sigh of relief. The other party actually thought that she was also a maid, but this was normal because there were too many people here, and no one expected that anyone could sneak into the heavily guarded castle.

Kelly asked:

"Grandma, why didn't you go either?"

The old woman let out a high-pitched laugh, and the folds on her face swayed:

"Haha, half of my feet are already buried in the ground, so why are I going to join in the fun? How come you, a little girl, don't obey the rules? Didn't you come here voluntarily? But what can you do even so? Anyway, you entered here.

Don’t even think about going out.”

A chill arose in Kelly's heart. What did it mean that she couldn't go out? Looking at the old woman's appearance, the fear in Kelly's heart became more intense.

The old woman kindly tried to comfort her:

"You haven't had time to perform the ceremony with Father Galanti yet. I, an old bone, came to this castle with my master. I have seen everyone, and there are many who want to escape. I advise you to die."

Tiao Xin, although life is terrible now, at least I can still survive.

"You must know that all those who escape will have a bad end. Death is the best outcome. No one can escape from this place. No one has succeeded."

The old woman saw Kelly's resistant expression and shook her head:

"It doesn't matter whether you listen to what I, an old guy, say, but don't do stupid things. Some things are not as scary as you think, Palace Veronica..."

The old woman suddenly changed her story:

"The master is also very kind and simple. It is a comfort to be with such a person. Alas, the master is upstairs. You won't believe it if I tell you. Why don't you take the opportunity to see it with your own eyes? All you have to say is that you are here to clean.

, you can go in."

After saying that, the old woman stopped talking and walked downstairs with slow and silent steps.

Kelly stared at the old woman's back, as if she would turn around and turn into a man-eating monster at any time. Finally, before the old woman's back disappeared, she couldn't help but take a look behind the scenes.

The old woman disappeared.

Kelly closed her eyes.

Any sane person who sees this scene will have the desire to vomit due to physiological reasons.

It was a child whose whole body was covered with wrinkles and dark spots.
