Darkness is always the theme at night, silent, lightless, and pitch black. Everything is shrouded in black. There are no planets in the sky. Although the waning moon can be barely seen through the clouds, the moon obscured by thick clouds is so blurry.
So unclear.
Under the night, a luxurious manor stood, with candlelight shining from the windows.
Time, 20:07 at night, in a guest room on the second floor of the Halton Manor building...
The identity given by the curse will not be false, and even if it is false, others will not be able to tell. Due to the identity of the executioners, they are all distinguished guests in the eyes of the Marquis, his family and everyone in the manor. In order to show the respect of the host to the guests
, after a sumptuous dinner, everyone learned that Marquis Maier had actually taken the initiative to arrange several rooms in his home for everyone. The rooms were located on the second floor, and they were originally living there.
The Marquis and his family on the 2nd floor moved to the 1st floor. On the surface, Marquis Meyer is not very generous, but in fact, no one knows what little plan Marquis Meyer has in mind. Of course, everyone who knows knows.
It doesn't matter where the executioner is, after all, the entire manor is no longer safe. Whether you live on the first floor, the second floor, or even the feared third floor, there is not much difference in nature.
As the saying goes, it is a blessing, not a curse, and you cannot avoid it. Sometimes the more deliberate you are, the more counterproductive you will be. This is the reason. The only thing everyone can do is to rush, race against time, and try to complete the task and resolve the incident before the deadline is reached.
.
Similarly, it was impossible for the executors of the five-day task time limit not to rest. Due to the large number of people, after some discussions, it was finally decided that He Fei and Yao Fujiang would be in one room, Peng Hu and Zhao Ping would be in one room, and Wei Jianyong and Wang Feng would be in one room.
In one room, Cheng Ying is alone. As for the only two women in the team, Ye Wei and Wang Huifang, they are also in the same room.
, strange to say, Ye Wei originally wanted Cheng Ying to share a room with others. After all, the place where everyone is currently located is a dangerous world of supernatural missions. However, what is incomprehensible is that the proposal
It turned out that this professional killer actually refused the arrangement of sharing a room with other people, and instead always insisted on being in a separate room by himself.
The reason is that he has never been used to sleeping with others early in the morning, so he has developed a habit.
The huge Marquis Mansion can be said to have ample rooms, not inferior to a hotel. Even so, this is not a real hotel after all. The risks faced by one person in a residence are much higher than two people living in a room. Seeing that the other party insists on his own opinion, He Fei
It is impossible not to dissuade him, even if he seems to be happy
Peng Hu, who likes to quarrel with Cheng Ying, also seriously expressed his opposition this time. It is very obvious that He Fei and Peng Hu are really thinking about Cheng Ying's safety. Unfortunately, Cheng Ying, who has become stubborn, will not be able to do so easily with just a few sincere words.
It was said that everyone had no choice but to let it go.
Let's get back to the topic. In the guest room on the second floor, he waved his hand and asked the two maids who came to deliver the evening snacks to leave. After the two maids bowed respectfully and left, at this moment, the room was deserted except for the executioners.
At present, everyone is concentrated in Ye Wei and Wang Huifang's room. Since this is the 17th century, there are no common household appliances, sofas or the like in the room. Instead, there are various wooden furniture with medieval style. It is undeniable that this is a Marquis.
The guest rooms in the manor are very luxurious, and luxury is luxury. In fact, apart from the bed, the only place to sit in the room is the wooden table in the center and a few chairs.
No one cares about these insignificant details, but for the executioners who are currently sitting around the wooden table, one thing is pressing in everyone's heart from beginning to end, so much so that they all gasp.
Don't be angry!
After the maid said goodbye and left, the scene turned silent. Yes, in this guest room where all the executors are currently gathered, nothing was discussed as expected, and no one asked questions. Instead, everyone sat in silence in their seats,
No one spoke, not because they didn’t want to speak or to express their personal opinions, but...
But this thing is so weird that no one can analyze it for clues.
Naturally, this incident was none other than what Marquis Meyer described in the wax figure room on the third floor in the afternoon, a wax figure incident that is enough to make anyone shudder.
Silence, complete silence, not paying attention to the exquisite meals on the table, not paying attention to the elegant atmosphere of the room, there is only depression, an indescribable sense of powerlessness and depression, the feeling of depression fills this extremely quiet room where many people are gathered, see
No one spoke for a moment. Influenced by the seniors, several newcomers who were already extremely nervous couldn't help but feel nervous.
The truth is very simple. Unlike the veterans who have rich mission experience, no matter who they are, it is their first time to perform a supernatural mission, and their mission experience is basically zero. At this moment, even the veterans think this mission is extremely difficult.
It is conceivable that how can the newcomers who plan to rely on the seniors to survive the whole process not be afraid? How can they not be afraid?
Although this kind of silence lasted for a long time, everyone couldn't stare at each other all the time. In the end, maybe they recovered from their initial thoughts or maybe they just discovered something. As the team leader, Ye Wei
First he raised his head and glanced at the people at the table, and then asked with a surprised expression: "Huh? Why don't you see Wang Feng and Wei Jianyong? Didn't I tell everyone to gather here before?"
As soon as the female captain said this, it was only then that everyone realized that there were really two people missing in the room. The only newcomers present were Yao Fujiang and Wang Huifang, but Wang Jin and Wei Jianyong were not here. In fact, it is not surprising that everyone ignored them.
People, after all, many
People are currently focusing all their thoughts and energy on the strange happenings in the manor, which is related to everyone's life and death. In addition, the two newcomers have no sense of existence, and the senior people are not impressed by them. It is not surprising that they were not there for a while.
excusable.
Hearing Ye Wei's question, everyone shook their heads to express ignorance. Seeing this, Ye Wei turned his attention to Zhao Ping again. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping, who was sitting on the left side of He Fei, shook his head slightly and said: "I did inform you ten minutes ago as you ordered.
Those two people asked them to come to your room to discuss things after dinner, and they agreed at that time. As for why they haven't come yet... I don't know the specific reason."
Zhao Ping answered truthfully, while Ye Wei frowned slightly. She knew that the man with glasses was telling the truth, but why...
Maybe she didn't want to waste energy on this kind of thing, but in the end, the female captain shook her head and said: "Forget it, I won't force them if they don't come, let's talk about this supernatural incident, or what do you think?
"
Sure enough, when the supernatural incident was mentioned, everyone who had thought about it earlier became nervous, especially He Fei, who had been immersed in meditation since he heard the narration of the incident from the Marquis' master and servant in the afternoon. His psychological pressure was no less than that of He Fei.
Ye Wei is the captain. Ye Wei is analyzing and he is also analyzing. However, unfortunately, after several hours, except for a few doubtful points, he has not analyzed any valuable clues!
What does this mean? This means that if this continues and the key clues are never found, everyone will be in danger in the next few days. As each day passes, the restrictions imposed by the rules will gradually weaken.
Faced with the killing of the locust, everyone who had little understanding of the locust in the manor had no other means of counterattack except waiting for death.
In addition, due to the area restrictions of the rules, the executor cannot escape. What is the difference between this and waiting to die? Thinking about it makes people shudder!
Of course, there are no absolutes in anything. Ye Wei finished her words. Although He Fei, who always pursues safety in situations, did not intend to express any opinions in uncertain situations, Zhao Ping, who had just answered the female captain's question, was very surprised and did not continue to remain silent.
, first adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then stared at Ye Wei while narrowing his eyes and said: "Actually, you don't have to ask us deliberately. After what happened during the day and everything we experienced on the third floor, I think...
You must have made some discoveries or even personal opinions, right?"
Not to mention, after getting along for a while, the man with glasses really understood Ye Wei quite well. As soon as he said this, Ye Wei hesitated, then nodded and replied: "Okay, I admit that I have made many discoveries and personal experiences.
Opinions, but just uncertain thoughts. If I have to say, based on everything I saw when I entered the manor and the clues I got from the Marquis’s servants in the wax room not long ago, I personally concluded two questions."
Seeing that the other people were all looking at her and pursed her lips, Ye Wei continued: "First, I think that the wax room and the many wax figures inside for no reason will most likely be related to the wax figures hidden in the manor.
There is a great connection. The Marquis also said that wax figures cannot be destroyed. Whoever destroys the wax figure will die, and the body of the deceased will still be with the wax figure.
According to my guess, if we continue like this, if we don't come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, I believe it won't be long before all the wax figures in the wax figure room will be replaced by living corpses, and then the wax figure room will become a
It is a veritable corpse exhibition room, and since the wax figures of us people are also in it, these corpses naturally include everyone."
There is no doubt that Ye Wei, who has survived alone in the cursed space to this day, is not an ordinary person. Her ability to think about problems has always been very strong. Her above paragraph is not only a clear and logical analysis, but also named the key points of the matter. This is also what most people think.
What worries and fears the most.
"What about the second point?" Seeing Ye Wei mention the key point, Cheng Ying, who has always been very curious, asked instinctively from the side.
"As for the second point, it has to do with Marquis Meyer himself."
At this point, Ye Wei hesitated, perhaps because she was really unsure or perhaps her guess was even more uncertain than before. After a pause, the woman frowned, and after a long time she continued with an uncertain tone.
:
"I feel that this Lord Marquis seems to have something unspeakable. Although he and the old housekeeper did tell us everything they knew during the day, and it seemed that they told us everything, but have you ever thought about it? Even the Marquis himself
, who can be sure whether he missed something or... there are other things that even the Marquis himself doesn't know?"
(Um!?)
For some reason, as soon as Ye Wei's seemingly questioning words came out, He Fei, who had been listening silently across from him, suddenly trembled in his heart! His mind was like lightning flashing, and at the same time, he felt that he had missed something but could never remember it.
Thoughts suddenly popped up in my mind at this moment.
That's right, through Ye Wei's above analysis words, although Ye Wei's personal opinions and speculations end here, He Fei found a doubt point from the female captain's analysis and narrative, no... Strictly speaking, it is a possible
The starting point to really start exploring!
However……
He Fei, who was greatly moved in his heart, was about to tell others about his suspicion when suddenly, he heard sounds in his ears, several frightened women's screams were heard directly in everyone's ears!
