There are two hidden air corridors connecting the auxiliary building and the main building, which are on the second and fourth floors respectively. Yu Xing followed the housekeeper and did not encounter any ghosts to stop him along the way.
It seems that the ghosts extending from the evil can distinguish the employees in the castle.
The housekeeper helped him blatantly. Yu Xing believed that even though Alice was now an ugly, irrational monster, with her control over the castle, she might have discovered her housekeeper's "surrender" behavior.
He had to hurry up, otherwise Alice might wander over.
Yu Xing followed the housekeeper and continued forward along a route he had not taken before. After turning a few less conspicuous forks, he finally saw the so-called sky corridor.
The appearance of the corridor was mostly obscured by the intricate black iron railing door. Since the corridor was closed on all sides, he could not see the annex building in advance.
Coincidentally, the door had already been opened and was barely covered, saving Yu Xing the trouble of finding a way to get the key.
"It seems that someone has already gone to the annex building." The housekeeper was a little surprised, because he knew that both corridors were locked, and the keys were guarded by two physical monsters with the strongest "combat power".
Yu Xing responded nonchalantly.
Huai and Huangbai had already said they were looking for a corridor. After such a long time, it was not unusual for those two people to find their destination based on their abilities.
Looking at Yu Xing's unsurprised expression, the housekeeper couldn't help but think that someone could have gotten the key and entered the annex without knowing it, which meant that among the tourists who came this time, there was more than just one smart person in front of him.
Maybe... just like the previous fire, tourists might really be able to succeed. After all, this time, there is a lot more information and experience than the first time.
After taking a reassurance, the housekeeper stopped and pushed Yu Xing: "You go in, Alice still lives on the fifth floor. I have to stay in the main building, otherwise, it is really the same as notifying Alice directly.
"
Yu Xing nodded. He didn't expect the housekeeper to take him directly to Alice's bedroom. The housekeeper's job was to do logistics in the hall, and there were definitely restrictions on entering and exiting the annex building.
In fact, he was able to find the way to enter the annex building without any effort. The housekeeper had already helped him to the extreme. He could not ask for more.
Yu Xing walked towards the railing door, flicked his fingers, and the door gently opened to a gap for one person to enter.
He paused as he stepped out, then turned back: "...Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"
The old housekeeper thought for a while: "There are no monsters like yours in the annex building, but you have to be careful about being discovered by the nuns. I, the nuns and the chef don't have the ability to kill people, but we have ways to confine tourists and notify Alice. The chef doesn't care.
But the nun is loyal to Alice. If you are caught by her, you will have to face Alice in advance."
"Thank you." A glimmer of light flashed in Yu Xing's eyes under his black hair. Seeing the old butler's tall figure and decent clothes reduced to decoration in the splendid castle, he nodded imperceptibly and said
A solemn gesture for him, "And...goodbye."
If his departure goes well, we may never see him again.
The butler will follow the collapse of the foundation of Alice's hell and head towards the destination he should have reached long ago.
die.
For the housekeeper, death is relief. He is not young anymore, and his hair is all silver. Perhaps sleeping underground without being disturbed by these messy things is what he has been pursuing.
Yu Xing no longer looked after the housekeeper, his eyes were slightly cold, and he walked step by step along the corridor. There was a light in the corridor, and his fire folding bag that would not be used for a long time was put back into his pocket.
Soon, he walked to the other side of the corridor. Since the annex building was where Alice and the employees lived, there was no door blocking this side of the annex building, which probably made the employees feel more at ease.
After passing the corridor, you will see a small hall.
The hall is very empty and beautifully decorated. The walls are covered with pieces of hollowed-out gold foil, painted into luxurious patterns.
Close to the wall, circles of white strings are hung staggered, with clips holding photos of the same size on the strings.
For a moment, Yu Xing recalled the mysterious witch's time house in Alice's paradise.
The front hall of Time House is also like this. The photos reflect the things that everyone has experienced in their lives. Some are people, some are sceneries. The vague memories are clearly reflected in these photos.
It seems that Alice has retained the Time House and transplanted it to the auxiliary building?
Yu Xing looked at a few photos at random, and then raised his eyebrows.
not completely.
The photo does show the time, but it is no longer the tourist's, but Alice's.
The steampunk style was displayed unscrupulously in front of Yu Xing. Yu Xing saw the familiar jumping machine, clock tower, and claw machine playing weird songs.
His eyes moved to the side, and the next photo showed a seed being handed over by a hand hidden in a black sleeve.
The next picture shows a budding rose growing in a flowerpot. The soil in the flowerpot is soaked in blood, like red soil.
Yu Xing stared at the black sleeve for a while. He knew that, according to the butler, the owner of the sleeve and palm was the great wizard.
After a while, Yu Xing lost interest in continuing to visit. In addition to the growth records of roses, these photos also contained moments of tragic death of many tourists. Yu Xing was not interested in seeing how others died. He looked around for the last time and shook his head.
Said: "...It's a pity...that witch is not here."
Yu Xing was deeply impressed by the noble and cold-looking woman. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She also had a nice voice, but she was a bit nagging.
There is also the kitten named Doom, who seems to like him very much, but he doesn't like cats who compete with lazy people like him for seats.
Well, by the way, the witch gave him a prop called [Time Engraving], but until now he has not discovered the use of [Time Engraving].
Wait a minute...are witches and wizards related? When we first met, the witch seemed to say that she came here to work part-time?
The word "part-time job" is sometimes used by deducers because there are various "part-time jobs markets" in the system panel.
“Hmm...forget it, they all have the word ‘witch’ in them, maybe it’s a coincidence.”
Shaking away the thoughts in his mind, Yu Xing stretched and walked towards the exit of the hall.
He now wants to quickly find the fifth floor and go to the Rose Tunnel to meet Zeng Lai.
It would be even better if you could meet Huang Bai and Huai on the road. Those two people seem to be very capable. If they join, the plan to destroy the rose will definitely go much smoother. The prerequisite is that Alice's passage on the fifth floor is unrestricted.
Number of people.
Behind the exit is a corridor. From here, the traces of roses gradually become heavier. The walls are inlaid with rose-shaped decorations, which are red and eroded. I don’t know whether it is an illusion or reality. Yu Xing can always smell a faint fragrance of roses.
.
It seems that since she obtained human skin through roses, Alice herself also likes roses more.
He sniffed uncomfortably, and felt that the smell was not pleasant at all. The floral fragrance was not pure, and was mixed with many unfriendly smells, such as the smell of rust, such as the smell of rot. In terms of feelings, it was like a certain time in the past.
The women around him who confessed his love were wearing low-quality perfume.
The only effect is probably to refresh the mind.
“Yi Qing.” He shouted softly.
Ever since he went to the library and saw Yi Qing, Yi Qing hid in the dagger and pretended to be dead, as quiet as if he didn't exist.
The dagger on his waist moved, and green mist came out of his sweatshirt, leaving a cold feeling on his abdominal muscles.
"Here we come." Yiqing appeared in the blue mist and turned into a human form floating in the air. "What?"
Yu Xing: "It's okay, your green smoke smells like bamboo." It smells better than the pungent rose smell.
Yiqing understood what he meant and didn't care that he was being treated as a bamboo-flavored incense stick. He just felt that this person was treating him less and less as a green ghost.
He laughed in amusement at first, then opened the fan and gently shook it, frowning slightly: "This is the auxiliary building? It is much smaller than the main building."
The annex building is, after all, newly built, and it only needs to provide accommodation for employees. Of course, it does not need to be built too big. Compared with the main building, it can only be considered a very small place.
Yu Xing said "Hmm". From his current angle, he could see an upward staircase and a downward staircase at the end of the corridor. He walked over quickly. The stairs were circuitous. It could be seen that whether they were going up or down,
Downward, they are all normal ones spanning one floor.
“Huh?” Yu Xing walked up without hesitation and reached the next plane, which was the third floor. There was another identical staircase going up.
He was stunned for a moment, and an idea came to him, "Is the space in the annex building normal?"
"Maybe," Yi Qing said, "Why don't you go up quickly? Aren't you worried about the kid named Zeng Lai?"
"Yes, although he will basically not be in a helpless situation again after receiving my previous reminder, but I am afraid that Alice will notice his location and go directly to him." As he spoke, Yu Xing had already walked quickly again.
Climbing upstairs, the happy news was immediately confirmed.
The space in the annex building is really normal!
In other words, its stairs are fixed at the corner, stacked one above the other, not the maze-like structure in the main building that can drive people crazy.
If this is the case, then it will be easy for him to go to the fifth floor!
Soon, Yu Xing went directly to the fifth floor.
A strong smell of roses came to my face. Large tracts of red roses were planted on both sides of the corridor, packed in black porcelain jars. They were warm and deep, like burning red clouds, just like the ones around the giant eyes above the castle.
Circle-like, very beautiful.
Yiqing stood in it dressed in green clothes. It should have been a collision between strong and elegant, but inexplicably, any trace of elegance was incompatible with this place, as if it had been squeezed out.
"I don't want to stay here." The Qingyi photographer floated directly behind Yu Xing, slightly off the ground, and put his hands on Yu Xing's shoulders, as if he was holding Yu Xing up as a railing, and he put a little insignificant weight on it.
Going up, Yu Xing realized his displeasure.
Yu Xing himself didn't like these roses, but this was the first time he saw Yiqing showing disgust. You know, Yiqing didn't show any discomfort in the two deserted villages in the promotion game.
He asked: “Why?”
Yiqing replied: "It's too dirty."
"Dirty?" Yu Xing didn't expect Yi Qing's answer to be this. While walking along the sea of flowers on both sides, he continued to ask Yi Qing, who was lying behind him, "Why is it dirty?"
Yi Qing used his elegance to make a disdainful expression: "These flowers are all filled with blood, sin and fear that are deliberately induced, which is contrary to what they themselves need."
“A place that was originally used to atone for sins and pursue the truth has now become filthy. Isn’t it dirty? The smell makes me want to vomit.”
Only ghosts can feel the difference, because ghosts are most familiar with these negative feelings.
Yu Xing thought for a moment and smiled: "You're right, it's very dirty."
Because of her own desires, Alice changed from a just manager of the paradise to a complete degenerate, and the great wizard was "indispensable" for this.
If he had the chance... he really wanted to see what kind of organization the "Wizards" were and what role they played in the absurd world.
If it is an organization that can travel between different worlds...does that mean that if he can understand this organization, he will be one step closer to the absurdly deduced high-level secrets?
Of course, it seems too early to think about this now. Yu Xing walked all the way and opened the doors in the corridor. Behind these doors are some functional rooms, the most common of which are exhibition rooms, whether they are sculptures or paintings, handmade products or clothing.
It's dizzyingly many.
From this, Yu Xing can basically confirm that only Alice lives on the entire fifth floor, and other employees live on other floors.
There are so many insignificant rooms that employees have no space to live in if they want.
Just when Yu Xing looked at the last double door inlaid with various gems, Yi Qing, who was hanging on him, suddenly turned into smoke and dispersed, and his tone was gentle and steady but unquestionable: "Hide."
Yu Xing’s eyes sharpened. Based on his trust in this green-shooting ghost, he ducked down between two pots of rose bushes and hid his figure with the help of the extended thorny branches.
After confirming that his position was not easily discovered, he turned his gaze and looked out through the gap between the flowers.
A black figure stood not far away, as if he heard some movement, and looked around suspiciously, with a cold feeling lingering on his beautiful expressionless face.
Yu Xing narrowed his eyes and thought, why did the nun go to this level?
He moved his eyes downwards and saw that the nun was holding a golden watering can in her hand, with a long spout and a wide disk-shaped top.
…”
Come to the fifth floor to water the flowers?
The nun found nothing in the end. Her eyes fell on the red flowers in front of her, and she raised the watering can to water the flowers.
The water spewing out from the long spout...is blood red.
The blood-colored liquid was poured on the roses, and immediately, a fragrance that was a hundred times stronger than before filled the air and poured straight into Yu Xing's nose.
