Chapter 148: The Abandoned Castle of Tussauds

Boom, boom…

The train finally stopped, completely stopped in a dark environment where you could not see your fingers. Regardless of whether the executors were willing or not, they had to get off the train as soon as possible after it stopped, otherwise what awaited everyone would be the ruthless obliteration of the curse!

Everyone walked to the car door with different moods, stepped off the train one after another, and entered the darkness...

Next, there is silence, silence and darkness.

After a minute of unshakable darkness, He Fei's vision gradually returned to clarity, and the first thing that caught his eye was the castle hall that had appeared in the previous video. This was expected, but a few seconds later, the young man

But he was shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.

Because after his vision became clear, He Fei discovered... that there was no one around except himself in the entire castle hall!!!

Seeing this, He Fei's heartbeat accelerated. He never expected that he would be separated from the main force and other teammates just after getting off the train and entering the mission world!

(How could it be? This is impossible. In normal supernatural missions, no matter whether we get off the train first or last, everyone is still together after 1 minute of darkness. But why was I alone after getting off the train this time?

What? Could it be, could it be...it turns out to be like this, I understand!)

Yes, He Fei gradually came back to his senses after getting over the initial panic of missing his teammates, and after careful analysis in his mind, he successfully found out the key to the matter. The key words are...

Three words were mentioned in the mission information: Hide and seek!

The game of hide and seek is very simple. Many people have played it with their friends or classmates when they were young. The general rule is that one person is responsible for being the hawk, and the others need to hide and not be found by the hawk. It is a very simple game.

, then again, since this supernatural mission is a hide-and-seek, then I have never heard of a group of people gathering together to hide from ants at the same time, so naturally, He Fei guessed that this should be a curse that intentionally executed them.

The purpose of the separation of the two is to be more consistent with the meaning of the three words "hide and seek".

(If my prediction is correct, other people should be randomly teleported to various parts of this castle like me.)

Mentioning the castle, He Fei, who was currently standing alone in the center of the hall, felt nervous and quickly looked around carefully...

Through observation, I saw that the hall on the first floor of the castle is not too big. It is spacious and very quiet. It is currently night time, and there are many light stands hanging on the surrounding walls, with candles burning on the light stands.

, candlelight can illuminate, but unfortunately... although there are many lampstands, there are not many lampstands with candles actually inserted on them. Since the only source of light in the castle is these candlelights, the range illuminated by each candle

are very limited, resulting in the overall light in the castle hall being relatively dim. Not only that, but also the distance between candlelight and candlelight is too large. The candlelight further away is even just a small bright spot in He Fei's eyes. Therefore, this causes

At this moment, He Fei knew that the castle hall should be very large, but he couldn't see it at a glance.

After the observation, He Fei, who felt that he had found nothing more, lowered his head and glanced at the time on his watch. The current time was 22:03 at night. It seemed that the hide-and-seek game with the hawk had now begun!

When the mission began, He Fei did not stay where he was, because he vaguely felt that if he stayed there, he would be found sooner or later by the wolf, and once he was caught by the wolf, the fate could be imagined.

Seeing the dim environment and silence around him, with a thought in his mind, He Fei reached into his pocket and took out the cat's eye flashlight. However, for some reason, when he was about to turn on the flashlight, the young man fell into hesitation. After a moment,

He Fei shook his head and finally did not turn on the flashlight. Instead, he kept a high degree of vigilance and slowly walked forward. He simply walked towards the right side of the hall on the first floor by relying on the dim candlelight.

Da da da……

While walking, He Fei also remembered a question that he had ignored before, that is... how big is this castle? How many floors does it have?

Therefore, in this cautious state of being careful but not daring to make too much noise, as he continued to move forward, He Fei's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness ahead...

………

Hide and seek game time 22:08, Tussaud's abandoned castle, second floor.

Unlike the wide hall on the first floor, the second floor is a narrow corridor. Here, darkness is still the mainstream. The only thing the same as the hall is that there are some lighting candles on the second floor. The dim candlelight is distributed on both sides of the wall, barely bringing a sense of light to the corridor.

There was a little light, but that was it. The inside of the room was still dark, it could even be described as pitch black.

Snap.

As the door was pushed open, a flashlight beam came straight in. The light beam kept moving, checking the room environment with his eyes. At this moment, in this empty room, Ye Wei was standing at the door while observing silently with a cat-eye flashlight.

.

The room is very shabby, and the furniture inside has a strong European medieval style. The shabby wooden bed, tables, chairs, and cabinets in the room are obviously different from ancient Chinese furniture, and both the furniture and the floor in the entire room are

There was a lot of dust and cobwebs all over the place. It seemed like this room... no, it should be said that no one had been to the entire castle for a long time.

After the observation was completed, and after confirming that there was no danger, Ye Wei walked into the room cautiously. Of course, she, who was extremely experienced in tasks, did not relax her vigilance after entering the room. She bent down and used a flashlight to shine under the bed. Under the bed, there was nothing but dust and spider webs.

There was nothing else outside. After getting up, he opened the cabinets respectively. As for the cabinets, except for some tattered tableware, there was nothing else.

After thoroughly checking the entire room, Ye Wei walked to the door again, first stretched out her head to look around both sides with the help of candlelight in the corridor, then retracted her head, and then slowly closed the door.

Ye Wei was currently the only one in the room. She didn't mind sitting on the chair next to the table. After all, she didn't want to stand all night long.

In fact, what happened was very simple. She stepped off the train and entered the darkness. When her vision became clear from the darkness, Ye Wei immediately discovered that her current location should be the corridor on the second floor of the castle in the previous video, with a teammate beside her.

None. Like He Fei, she was quick-witted and quickly guessed the reason. Since the curse called this mission a hide-and-seek game, it was only natural that the executors were scattered throughout the castle at the beginning of the mission.

.

As for why Ye Wei didn't move around after confirming her location? Instead, she randomly chose one of the many rooms in the corridor on the second floor to hide? It came from a strategy she had figured out not long ago.

Obviously, since this supernatural mission is hide-and-seek, hiding is undoubtedly the right choice for now. It is also a choice that is very consistent with the nature of the hide-and-seek game. It is at least better than walking around.

You can only imagine what will happen if you catch him. Even so, Ye Wei understands one thing better. She knows that even if she hides, it is not necessarily safe. She will be found sooner or later if she hides in a fixed place. The night is long and the whole night

Time hides no danger!

After thinking about it, Ye Wei had already formulated a coping strategy in her mind before hiding:

First hide in this room for half an hour, and then leave this place every half hour, that is, move the location, and then find another place to hide. In this way, the possibility of being caught by the bug should be greatly reduced.

In the room, Ye Wei was silent and did not move for a long time. She just sat at the wooden table. The surroundings were very quiet. There was almost no sound except the woman's breathing. Half an hour passed quickly and the time came to 22:30.

After the break, Ye Wei immediately stood up and planned to leave. Yes, even though nothing happened during the half hour she was in the room, she still chose to leave without hesitation.

Just like when she first entered the room, she pushed the door open as quietly as possible. After confirming that there was nothing unusual on both sides of the corridor, she quietly left the room and walked to the right side of the corridor with the help of weak candlelight on both sides. Soon, Ye Wei's figure gradually disappeared.

In the darkness ahead.

Time continued to pass, just 5 minutes after Ye Wei left the room...

Boom... boom... boom...

In the dim corridor, a dull sound made by a series of similar objects hitting the floor gradually came over. The sound was very rhythmic, coming from the left side of the corridor from far to near. At the same time, along with the knocking sound, there was

A blurry black shadow!

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Not long after, as the black shadow gradually approached and the thumping sounds became clearer, the black shadow came near the room that Ye Wei had left before. The next moment, under the candlelight, the black shadow and the series of strange thumping sounds continued.

Wandering in front of several nearby doors, he first stopped in front of a certain door. Then, the door opened on its own without any movement from the black shadow! Creak...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The door opened, and a black shadow entered the room along with the sound of knocking..

After more than ten seconds, the shadow left the room and returned to the corridor. He stayed there for a while, but then, the shadow suddenly uttered a series of whispers that would make anyone's hair stand on end if they heard them:

"I haven't... found... found... I haven't... found... found... ah..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After the penetrating sound came out, the black shadow changed position and turned to the next door together with the series of strange knocking sounds, to the door of the room where Ye Wei had been a few minutes ago. Sure enough, just like last time, the black shadow had just arrived.

In front of the door, the originally closed door opened automatically, and a black shadow entered the room.

Still more than ten seconds later, the black shadow returned to the corridor, stood there for a few seconds, and then made another voice:

"I haven't... found... found... I haven't... found... found... ah..."

Finally, after searching all the corridors and rooms in the same way, but finding nothing, the black shadow chose to leave, and began to walk to the right side of the corridor with the series of strange thumping sounds, heading towards the depths of darkness, until

Completely one with the darkness...

………

The scene shifted to a room that was clearly a kitchen, although I didn't know which floor it belonged to.

The reason why the room is determined to be a kitchen is because there is a stove in this room. There are a lot of tableware near the stove and on the cabinets. The tableware includes wine glasses and plates, and there are also many cutlery and tools hanging on the surrounding walls.

There seemed to be no one in the kitchen, but not long after, there was a slight shaking sound from a large cabinet opposite the stove that seemed to be used to store ingredients.

Yes, factory director Liu Zhengkun is currently hiding in the cupboard...

At this moment, in the narrow space of the cupboard, Director Liu was trembling and huddled here. He was extremely frightened now. Even if there was nothing unusual around him, he could not help but shiver. Moreover, the trembling was so violent that it caused

The cabinet where he was hiding was shaken by the trembling of his body.

The reason why Liu Zhengkun was so scared was because something happened after entering the mission, something that he had never imagined in his dreams!

What he didn't expect was that the moment he entered the mission world, he found that he was alone!

There are no teammates around me, not a single one.

It was difficult for Liu Zhengkun to understand. After all, the female captain once said to him on the train that under normal circumstances, supernatural missions are a collective participation of the team. After entering the mission, everyone will gather together. Not long ago, Xu Min even used this sentence

The words comforted him, but what he never expected was... when he relied on senior people to get through the mission, he only discovered when he actually entered the mission that, except for himself, all the other executors were missing!

Liu Zhengkun felt like he had been deceived.

(Where have the others gone? Everyone separated? Damn it, I didn’t expect that the female captain named Ye Wei would lie to me! This... this abominable bitch!)

Liu Zhengkun thought that Ye Wei had tricked him, and a surge of anger surged into his heart. He was filled with resentment in his mind, but he cursed in his heart. But now that it was over, no matter how much he cursed, it was useless, especially when he confirmed that the place where he first appeared was an empty place.

And behind the vast hall, which was lit only by a few candles, an indescribable sense of terror instantly swept through the man's body. Coupled with the thought that there were nine out of ten worms in this castle, he was frightened and was

He was so frightened that his hair stood on end. Just when he didn't know what to do, he kept looking around and noticed a door in front of him, a half-open door illuminated by weak candlelight! So naturally, Zhengchou didn't know where to hide.

Liu Zhengkun, who was there, was immediately overjoyed and ran in without hesitation.

After entering the room and discovering that it was a kitchen, Liu Zhengkun had an idea and hid in a large cupboard. He curled up until the cupboard door was closed. The man had a slight sense of security. He originally planned to hide here until the mission.

It was over, but who would have thought... As time continued to pass, he began to tremble while hiding in the cabinet, and his heart, which had been relaxed for a long time, suddenly lifted up.

That's because, just now, he heard a sound and faintly heard a series of footsteps coming from outside the kitchen door!

Da da da da da…
