As soon as the guard captain said these words, Marquis Meyer finally panicked. At this moment, the man could no longer conceal his inner panic, let alone maintain the calmness that a noble should have. Instead, he became at a loss together with his wife and daughter who were also panicking beside him.
up, it can be clearly seen that
Except for the old steward named Domus who can barely remain calm at the moment, after learning the news from the captain of the escort team Ram, the Marquis and his family fell into a brief panic, and the senior people headed by Ye Wei also looked slightly sad.
Changes, the new person's body will tremble without exception.
Like the senior people who knew the inside story, after all, the four of them had also seen the terrifying video of the maid inexplicably turning into a wax figure in Cabin 1, so when they learned that this kind of thing actually happened in the mission world, several of them were shocked.
What does it mean when the last trace of fantasy is shattered? It means that the worms mentioned by senior people...really exist!
It is conceivable that even the newcomers can think of problems that the seniors cannot be aware of. The only difference is that in addition to being shocked, the seniors also have a terrifying thought in their minds:
Unexpectedly, it was only the first day that the killing of the worms had already begun!
As for Marquis Mel, it was indeed not the first time he had received such news. He was stunned for a few seconds. Maybe the matter was too urgent. After receiving the news, Marquis Mel forgot that there were guests in the hall and suddenly came to his senses.
He immediately rushed to the door and ran towards the door together with the captain of the guard, Ram.
Seeing this scene, without waiting for the old housekeeper and the Marquis's wife to react, they quickly looked at each other, and the five senior people also quickly chased out of the living room under the leadership of Ye Wei.
Ta-ta-ta!
………
After all, Marquis Mel is a nobleman who has led troops and fought in wars. Although he is not as brave as his father, his force and courage are still stronger than most noblemen. It is a pity that when faced with incomprehensible strange events,
He was scared and panicked. He didn't know how to respond, let alone what to do. He could only rush to the north side of the manor under the leadership of the escort team Ram with a troubled and uneasy heart, and arrived at Ma
Near the shed.
Finally, at the door of a toilet on the left side of the stable... I saw a guard, a guard frozen in place.
This guard looks to be in his 30s, about the same age as the guard captain Ram. He is currently standing motionless at the door of the toilet. At first glance, he looks like he has been cast on a body-holding spell. Upon closer inspection, except for
The guard's body was frozen, and what was frozen together with his body... was also the guard's face, which seemed to be full of shock because the incident happened so suddenly!
This man is exactly the Cortos that Ram calls him. He is not only a guard of the Marquis Palace, but also an old man of the manor who has managed the stables for two generations of Marquises for more than ten years. For European nobles during this period, what they thought of their subordinates was
They are often heavier. According to the law, both servants and guards are the private property of nobles. At this moment, I saw another familiar face look like this.
Seeing the motionless Cortos in front of him, the corner of Marquis Mel's mouth twitched again. Like the Marquis, Captain Ram, who looked like this was not the first time he had encountered this, still maintained a panicked expression. During the silence, Marquis Mel did not call out.
Martos, who was frozen in front of him, did not reach out to touch the other person. Instead, he seemed to have fallen into some kind of absent-minded state and did not respond for a long time.
Coincidentally, a group of senior people who followed were also at the scene. They ignored Captain Ram and ignored the dazed Marquis. In fact, as soon as they arrived, they immediately looked at the frozen guard opposite, and then...
...It’s okay not to look at it, but all the senior people couldn’t help but take a breath when they looked at it!
Because, although the manor guard in front of me looks like he has been frozen in place by a immobilization spell, in fact, due to the daytime, this motionless guard under the sunlight does not matter whether it is the military uniform he is wearing, his body or even his body.
The hair all exudes a slightly shiny texture. This visual sense is completely different from looking at a real living person. Only... and only anthropomorphic wax figures can look like this!
In other words, if Ram did not lie, and there was indeed a guard named Cortos in the manor, then a living person was inexplicably transformed into a wax figure in an instant, and it was exactly the same as what was seen in the initial video preview
The scene where the maid is transformed into a wax figure is exactly the same!!!
This man has turned into a wax figure!
Thinking of this, whether it is Ye Wei, He Fei, Cheng Ying, Zhao Ping, or Peng Hu, at this moment, looking at the wax figure in front of them, the pupils of the five people are constantly shrinking. Not to mention how many people have watched a similar scene in advance through the video.
But there is still a big difference between being separated by a screen and being immersed in the mission world. Of course, several people knew that the guard named Cortos in front of them had been attacked by a wolf.
They know that this person is dead, but unfortunately it is not enough to know this. At present, none of them can figure out the specific principle, such as how the worm appeared, and when the waxing began. At the same time,
I couldn't find any valuable clues. There was just a wax figure in front of me. Who could find clues from a wax figure whose entire body was made of wax?
In the silence, as if she wanted to verify something, Cheng Ying frowned, pushed Peng Hu away from her, and stretched out her right hand towards the guard wax figure...
However, before Cheng Ying touched the wax figure, except for Zhao Ping who remained silent, He Fei and Ye Wei said two words at the same time almost at the same time:
"etc!"
The two of them knew Cheng Ying's intention, but for safety reasons, how could they let Cheng Ying take the risk of touching it? At least they were always cautious before confirming whether the wax figure was risky, and they would never allow others to do so easily.
Touch something like this.
Seeing the two people stopping her, Cheng Ying stopped touching. But who would have thought that just when He Fei and the two stopped Cheng Ying, another generous hand next to her stretched out almost at the same time as Cheng Ying touched the wax figure.
On the body! Not only that, in addition to constant touching, the owner of the palm also looked surprised and exclaimed: "Huh? This thing is really made of wax. Has this person turned into a wax statue like this?"
Damn it!
Seeing Peng Hu put his hand on the wax figure and caressing it over and over without any scruples, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying were both stunned. He Fei was even more angry and shocked and almost cursed. How big is the heart of this bald man, just touching it directly?
?
Fortunately, Peng Hu, who was stroking the wax figure, was safe and sound from beginning to end. Seeing this, everyone including He Fei relaxed their worries. After confirming that the wax figure itself was not in danger, they breathed a sigh of relief. He Fei did not pay attention.
Focusing on the wax figure, he inadvertently glanced at Zhao Ping on the right with the corner of his eyes, and towards the man with glasses who was closest to Peng Hu at the beginning.
In the peripheral vision, Zhao Ping, who had not said a word since entering the manor, was currently staring at the wax figure with a solemn expression, and at Peng Hu who was stroking the wax figure. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the bald man, he seemed to have been thinking about something in his mind.
He subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
(You could obviously stop Peng Hu from reaching out in time...but you...)
The above thoughts were fleeting. After all, Peng Hu was safe and sound. He Fei stopped thinking about it and touched the wax figure in front of him like Peng Hu.
By touching and feeling the texture with your fingers, you can prove that this is indeed wax, but...
After he was completely sure that the guard in front of him was no longer a living person but had completely become an anthropomorphic wax figure, regardless of what Ye Wei, Cheng Ying or Zhao Ping thought, a certain guess popped up in He Fei's mind again.
A guess that is easily overlooked is...
Now that the living person has turned into a wax figure, where is the body of the guard? It disappeared out of thin air? Was it moved to another place? Or is it just a layer of wax covering the surface of the body? Or... the wax figure itself is made of
Transformed from corpses?
Yes, the above is the biggest doubt that emerged after He Fei waited to observe and stroked the wax figure. The corpse! Where is the corpse? In the video preview, we only saw the maid transforming into a wax figure but not the corpse. Although on the surface, the wax figure should be
It is transformed from corpses, but He Fei himself still has some doubts about this view. That being the case, it is very difficult to
Naturally, trying to confirm whether the wax figure is really transformed from a corpse has become the issue he is most concerned about at present. The college student has a vague feeling that there must be some kind of connection between the living person and the wax figure, as long as this can be found and explained.
If there is a correlation, then it will be very likely to use this correlation as a clue and follow the clues to find a solution.
This is a typical event-solving mission, which is very different from previous single-survival missions. If the supernatural incident is not resolved within the time limit specified by the mission, even if the executor can survive the attack of the wolf until the end of the mission, it will not make much sense.
It will still be judged as a task failure by the rules. Once the task fails, the only thing waiting for the executor is to erase it.
Finally, after quickly finishing his thoughts, without waiting for others to react, and with some kind of guessing, He Fei turned his gaze to Marquis Maier and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis, can I ask you a question?"
"Forehead……"
Marquis Mel, who had been in a state of trance during this period, was brought back to reality by He Fei. Seeing that the questioner was a princess guard, Marquis Mel, whose brain was currently in a state of confusion, ignored his status and subconsciously said: "You want to ask
What?"
"First of all, I hope His Excellency the Marquis will not hide it. In addition, you must know the answer to what I asked, that is... this is not the first time that you know about the fact that the people in the manor have inexplicably turned into wax statues, right?"
He Fei asked straight to the point, not to mention that all the executors knew about this matter. The reason why he specifically asked the Marquis to confirm it was simply to shatter the last illusion in the Marquis' heart. To put it more bluntly, it was a warning.
The other party, the situation has reached this level. If you don't want it to get worse, you'd better not hide anything.
Well, it's best to tell the truth. Only when the Marquis can get out all the things that only he himself knows but the executor does not know, then the executor can master as many clues and intelligence as possible. This is not only for those who have to stay in the manor due to the rules.
It is beneficial to the executor, and it is beneficial to him, the owner of the manor, his family and even everyone.
Staring at Marquis Meyer, He Fei's tone was deliberately a little more serious as he spoke.
Sure enough, there is no fool who can become a marquis. As soon as He Fei said this, under the gazes of Ye Wei, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Zhao Ping, Marquis Mel first glanced at Ram, the captain of the guard beside him.
, hesitated for a moment, glanced around again, and saw no one else nearby, he ordered Ram: "First move Cortos to the warehouse and hide it. If anyone else asks, tell him that he has something to do at home and ask you for leave to go home."
Yes, and please remember not to make this matter public."
It was very obvious that in order not to cause panic in the manor, Marquis Mel still chose to block the news and dealt with it more appropriately, but this was not the point. After giving instructions to Ram, Marquis Mel took a long breath and then slowly
He turned back to the executors in front of him and said:
"Your Highness, I can see that you and your guards are very concerned about this matter. In fact, this matter is indeed related to you. Well, please come with me."
