Chapter 003: The Aboriginal People in the Picture Frame
Ding Zhen kept in mind the taboos in the last mission and hurriedly covered the princess's mouth before avoiding it, so as not to attract something worse and add fuel to the fire.
Then, the two of them squirmed against the marble towards the door of the room and hid behind a screen.
The two faceless female ghosts mechanically straightened their heads, stepped on black short-heeled round-toe shoes, and walked out slowly.
It's really strange. Why didn't you hear any sound just now? The king was puzzled and whispered to the princess not to go out for the time being.
"Brother, something is caught on my skirt and I can't move."
The kingdom saw a yellow-black furry thing getting into the skirt of the princess's skirt, and then its head popped out. It seemed to be a precious mink.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a mink, just don't mess with it."
The sound of high heels appeared again.
The two looked at each other and got under the bed almost at the same time, taking the mink with them.
The four round-toed black leather shoes should be those two female ghosts just now.
The king and princess covered their mouths and did not dare to breathe excessively. They just asked them to get out quickly.
"Hiss, cluck."
The mink suddenly made a noise.
The princess was so frightened that she covered her head. The king, without thinking, grabbed the marten and tried to throw it away.
"Fuck!" The king's inner left hand was scratched by a mink claw, leaving three bloody marks. "Oh no, we've been discovered, let's run."
The king did not say the word "separate". Wherever he ran, the princess followed him. Fortunately, she did not scream in fright.
The two faceless female ghosts actually gave up after half the chase. By the time they reacted, they had already reached the third floor.
There is a straight corridor nearly fifty meters long, with ten rooms in total on the left and right, carpets with strange patterns, and a portrait with a bronze frame hanging on the wall every two meters.
The strange thing is that the inside of the frame is completely blank.
Is there no painting at all or has the painting escaped?
The king and princess were so frightened that they did not dare to move forward with their backs to the air. They decided to turn their backs to each other and watch each other move in the same direction at the same time.
"Brother, look over there!"
The king looked in the direction of her finger, and a yellow and black sable appeared in one of the frames.
It was exactly the same as the one they saw before.
"Let's go down, it feels so unusual here."
The king was just about to say this when the place became colder and colder. The inexplicable coldness from the toes to the tips of the hair disturbed their moods.
"Dong dong dong."
There was no one else in the corridor but them. Who was knocking on the door?
The next second, a certain door was suddenly knocked open.
Their legs were weak from fear. Before they could run away, they heard the tailor's voice:
"It turns out it's you. I thought it was the old man who specializes in learning how to speak."
The tailor opened the door completely and told them that before she hid in, she first saw two faceless female ghosts with minks, and then was followed by an old man who was a scholar.
"What does that old man look like?" The princess's gaze fell on the frame of another portrait.
The tailor whispered: "Onion head, facial features, garlic nose, and a hairy black mole on the nose. Black suit, black boots. That's about it."
The princess covered her mouth and pointed at the painting, "That's that person, right?"
The tailor was so shocked that he could not speak.
"It seems to turn its head to look at us. Am I wrong?" The princess cried and looked at the king.
"Run quickly, they will probably come out again. We have to get down, immediately!"
While running away, the king paid no attention to the princess and the tailor.
The agate spiral staircase was covered with fresh blood stained with dust, and there was transparent slime on the handrails. It was almost inevitable that the three of them would slip or miss the step, and their heads would fall down.
The princess's forehead was stained with blood, including her own. A pair of black leather shoe toes appeared in her field of vision. She ignored the wound and ran away crawling and rolling.
The tailor took advantage of the faceless female ghost to chase the king and princess. He quickly hid behind the curtains, carefully opened the window and jumped out. He huddled up and hid at the base of the wall with his injuries.
The number of faceless female ghosts is increasing. They have the same tilted heads, the same clothes and black leather shoes.
The king and princess would be found no matter where they were hiding in the unfurnished hall, and they did not dare to confront the female ghost head-on, so they had to go upstairs again.
"They haven't caught up."
After hearing the king's words, the princess immediately collapsed on the ground. If she appeared again, even if she was eaten, she would accept her fate.
"Get up quickly, we have to find a place to hide."
When the king saw the princess looking at him pitifully, he couldn't bear it, so he picked up the nearest room and walked in.
At the same time, someone was talking in the corridor:
"Help, is anyone here?"
Both of them recognized the voice of the tailor, but she rolled downstairs with them and was never seen again.
The king wanted to go out and have a look, but the princess was afraid of being alone in a large and empty room, so she grabbed the corner of his clothes and shook her head.
"She was hiding in the room alone before. Let's observe it first, shall we?"
The king then thought about it and felt it made sense. He withdrew his hand that was about to open the door and continued to listen carefully, but he couldn't hear anything.
At this time, a person walked out of the stairs. He took one step and looked back three times. He heard someone calling for help. Although he hesitated for a while, he still walked towards the source of the sound.
"Is it the gardener?"
The gardener retracted his foot. He did not see the other party. How could the other party know his identity?
Just when he realized something was wrong and turned around to run, he was faced with two faceless female ghosts approaching, and an old man with an onion head walked out of the room with the open door.
"Gardener, you are such a kindhearted person."
The old man made a tailor's voice. The gardener was in a dilemma and knocked hard on the door of the room where the king and princess were hiding.
The door didn't move at all.
The gardener had no choice but to open another door. There was nothing in the room. Seeing the female ghost and the old man approaching step by step, he had no choice but to break the window and jump off the building.
The two people in the next room suddenly heard the sound of glass breaking and held their breaths, not daring to move.
The old man smiled but shook his head with regret, turned around and walked to the next room.
"The people hiding inside are the princess and the king, right?"
The old man snapped his fingers at the two female ghosts, and they banged their heads on the door.
The princess' tears wet the king's sleeves, "What should I do? They are coming in soon. I'm so scared."
The king was also afraid, so he told the princess to quickly open the window and jump out. The princess looked at it, wiped her tears and hesitated.
The door was knocked open.
The old man's bloody mouth stretched out a snake-like snake's venom, and the white skin on his body turned into blood-red snake skin.
"Jump!"
The princess was afraid of ghosts and heights, so she just couldn't let it go.
"I'm sorry, let me help you."
Before the king's hand could touch the princess's body, he was wrapped around his left arm by the snake Xinzi.
"What are you still doing? Jump down!"
While the king was speaking, he grabbed the snake Xinzi with both hands, jumped back and jumped down.
The princess took advantage of the moment when the two female ghosts were near the window and ran out of the room quickly.
"Run quickly, there is a ghost in the room."
The princess told the gardener who walked past eagerly.
