When the beauty asked, Duke Tarr of course agreed. He sent her back to the castle diligently, and asked for beauty food before going to bed. He also specially picked a bouquet of flowers for her, so that she could fall asleep with the fragrance of the flowers at night.
.
Madame Butterfly rejected his temptation, and Duke Tarr ignored Xu Huo who was accompanying him and entered the next room while stroking his chin. After a while, a bodyguard left the castle.
Xu Huo's bedroom was on the third floor. After seeing them off, he returned to his room.
With Mr. Dong here, of course he knew that the bodyguards had left the castle, but the bodyguards around Duke Tarr were obviously very skilled players, so he couldn't think of following them.
But this Madame Butterfly is quite interesting.
"Sir, I found two more notebooks left by the previous gentleman." Mr. Dong came in with the booklet and food.
"Just put it on the desk." Xu Huo also has a desk in his bedroom.
Mr. Dong put it down as he was told and said before going out: "Sir, go to bed early tonight."
Xu Huo couldn't help but glance at him, but the other party didn't say much and closed the door gently after going out.
After a short pause, Xu Huo opened the umbrella of justice on the terrace. He waited until it started to rain outside before returning to his desk to continue reading He Pu's notes.
The servants and Mr. Dong rested one after another. In the rainy night, several lights in the castle were extinguished one after another. Except for a little glimmer of light on the third floor, the rest of the huge building seemed to be completely integrated into the dark night.
I don't know how long it took, but a different feeling enveloped the castle.
Xu Huo, who was reading his notes, stopped, looked up and looked out the window, and saw pairs of red lights through the curtains, staring into the room like eyes.
He put down the things in his hands and stood up and walked out. When the window was opened, the red light outside disappeared. The night breeze blew in. The hanging gauze curtains and the flowers in the garden downstairs swayed at the same frequency. His eyes moved downstairs.
, Madam Butterfly, who should have gone to bed long ago, actually appeared alone in front of the maze garden, turned back and looked in his direction, then turned and walked into the maze.
After she entered, a luminous butterfly flew out of the flower tree and flew unsteadily to his window.
As soon as I reached out to catch it, the butterfly dispersed into light spots and disappeared in the air.
There was no other movement in the castle. Xu Huo hesitated for a moment and then went downstairs with his umbrella.
The castle at this time looked different from when Mr. Dong controlled it before. There were lights in the corridors and the reception hall on the first floor, but except for these areas, other places were completely dark. When walking past, people were occasionally
The feeling of something peeping out of it makes one's scalp numb.
This feeling was familiar to Xu Huo. He went downstairs according to his memory, then went around from the side corridor to the outer corridor behind the main building, and passed through the botanical garden to the maze garden.
But before he could get closer, those things hiding in the darkness crawled out. The ground, tree trunks, and even branches and leaves were densely packed with small burr-like things. They looked slightly different, but they all looked the same.
There were plenty of legs, some non-venomous and some highly venomous. They surrounded him for a few seconds and then all crawled towards him.
Xu Huo didn't stop, ignoring the spiders crawling up his pants, and walked straight into the garden maze, bypassing the two giant spiders blocking the way, and walked along the maze passage to the center.
He had entered this maze once, and he roughly remembered the layout of the route at the beginning, so he was not blocked by the visually changed passage and quickly found Madam Butterfly who had entered the maze.
She stood alone, her light purple silk nightgown dripping dark purple from the rain, and her beautiful face was also stained with water drops, but she didn't care about this, nor did she care about anyone looking at her, and raised her head slightly
Looking into the air, he stretched out his hands as if to catch something.
Xu Huo followed her line of sight and looked carefully at her hands. After a few seconds, he saw a pair of translucent wings flapping, but this fleeting picture was incomplete. In the blink of an eye, there was nothing in her hands again.
"Has your brain evolved for the second time?" Madam Butterfly struck each other with her palms. To the naked eye, it looked like she tapped the air, but an invisible force dissipated.
Xu Huo knew that he would never see the butterfly just now. He held an umbrella and looked at the woman, "You want to kill me."
"Who let you see it?" Madam Butterfly smiled, "I don't like to be spied on."
"Can this be considered spying?" Xu Huo raised his eyebrows, "In my place, I can't see my garden? Why don't you examine why you happened to walk into my field of vision?"
Madame Butterfly seemed not to want to waste her words with him. With a wave of her hand, the flower walls on both sides suddenly became demonic, and the dense rattans with pus on them crowded towards him!
This is a spiritual attack.
Xu Huo didn't know if she had reached this level by using special props, but he was also in an illusion, and he could also materialize his own spiritual world.
He raised his hand and pulled in front, but he didn't pull it the first or second time. But the third time, he successfully opened a door in front of him, and after walking in, he stood behind Madame Butterfly.
Madame Butterfly turned her back to him and did not look back, but her body was structured into countless butterflies. Those butterflies washed over his face like moths. Suddenly, he felt a hand touch his right arm, and it was already there.
The bright red sword he took out immediately fell to the ground with his limp hand.
Xu Huo frowned, and immediately picked up his umbrella and pushed forward with all his strength. The woman hiding among the butterflies stepped back to reveal her body. She shook the small folding fan in her hand, and his legs seemed to have turned into stone again.
Just as stubborn.
Seeing that he stayed where he was, Madam Butterfly waved her fan and said, "Aren't you leaving?"
"Why are you leaving?" Xu Huo pressed the handle of the umbrella, and his unconscious legs recovered. Then he threw out his fair wallet and two-color Rubik's Cube, and quickly opened a door in front of him. This time he was directly in front of the woman.
He reached out and strangled her throat.
However, when she grabbed it with one hand, Madam Butterfly turned into a swarm of butterflies again.
His eyes searched among the flying butterflies. As soon as they fought, he knew that the other party's spiritual evolution was stronger than his own, so he could not accurately find the person in the illusion created by the other party, but this was a good opportunity.
Intuitively feeling that the person was behind him, he quickly turned around and opened a door, grabbed the other person's extended hand and pulled hard!
Madame Butterfly appeared half-hidden among the butterflies, but Xu Huo's left hand lost consciousness at this time. After just a moment of contact, the other party took off his hand, and at the same time, a metal collar appeared out of thin air and was put around his neck.
The surrounding air also converged toward the center, causing a strong suffocating feeling under the compression.
Xu Huo moved his hands and feet and found that his right hand had regained some strength. His palm was upward, and a stopwatch and pen appeared in his hand at the same time.
