This ancient castle stands on a steep cliff, close to the sea on one side. The cliff is more than 30 meters high. There are rugged rocks below the cliff. The waves are constantly beating on the black rocks, splashing four or five meters high, and the waves are surging.
.
At the gate of the castle, a stone road paved with cobblestones leads all the way down the mountain, and the other end leads directly to the gate of the castle. The gaps between the stones are covered with moss, which looks very vicissitudes of life.
He Jiawen came to the main entrance of the castle. Outside the castle, there was another high wall made of stone, with a wooden door in the middle. Through the sparse gaps in the door panel, you could see a courtyard filled with weeds inside.
The lock on the wooden door had long since rusted and fallen off. He Jiawen gently pushed the wooden door open and slowly walked into the yard with a creaking sound.
The castle was deserted and overgrown with weeds. It looked like no one had been here for a long time. He Jiawen looked up at the castle and saw a window on the castle at a glance. The window was not big, and the edges of the window had probably rotted long ago.
It fell off, leaving only a square hole. It was dark inside and nothing could be seen.
However, He Jiawen had a very strange feeling. Someone was looking at her through the window just now, but when she raised her head, there was nothing in the window.
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the doubts in his heart, He Jiawen walked to the door of the castle. Although the thick solid wood door was mottled, it was still intact. With a gentle push, the two doors opened on both sides.
A smell of corruption hit his face, He Jiawen frowned, and then walked into the room.
What surprised her was that although the outer walls of the castle were mottled, the various furnishings in the house were still very well preserved, including sofas, carpets, fireplaces, floor-standing wall clocks as tall as one person, and various classical-style furniture.
The furnishings are all available, as if there are still people living here. There are also many oil paintings hanging on the walls of the castle. The men in the paintings are luxuriously dressed and full of nobility. They should be the previous owners of this castle.
But a thick layer of dust has fallen on the table, and the wall clock has stopped. The time here seems to have stopped at a certain moment in the past, until He Jiawen broke in and broke the tranquility here.
He Jiawen looked around and quickly found the flying insect that had come in before her, and then followed the flying insect along the wooden stairs towards the second floor.
The wooden stairs were old and worn out, and they immediately made a creaking sound when stepped on, which was very harsh in the empty castle.
He Jiawen pushed open two doors in a row. All the furnishings in the room were there, just like the hall downstairs. It seemed that the owner here left in a hurry and didn't take anything with him.
What makes He Jiawen even more weird is that everything here is perfectly preserved. No one has ever been here before, not even thieves.
She even found an antique gold watch in a room. Although the hands on the gold watch had stopped, this antique gold watch was definitely worth a lot of money.
Suddenly, He Jiawen had a creepy feeling. She suddenly discovered that the time on the gold watch was exactly the same as the time on the wall clock downstairs. The gold watch seemed to have stopped at the same time as the wall clock downstairs.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the room, and He Jiawen immediately put down his gold watch and rushed out.
However, when she left the room, the sound suddenly disappeared again, and only her breathing was left in the entire castle.
After pondering for a moment, He Jiawen came to the door of the next room. When she unscrewed the luxurious door handle wrapped in gold foil and pushed open the door, a group of black bats suddenly flew out of the room.
He Jiawen was taken aback, quickly bent down to avoid it, and then nimbly went around behind the wall next to him.
There were many bats, probably more than a hundred. After they flew out of the room, they immediately flew out along a hole above the castle and disappeared without a trace.
He Jiawen leaned against the wall and gasped for air. After a while, she walked into the room just now, but was surprised to find that this room was the same as the previous rooms, except that a thick layer of dust fell on all the furniture.
There is no clutter outside, and you can’t even tell that hundreds of bats once lived here.
Then, she came to the door of the next room, which was the last room on the second floor.
After experiencing the weird time just now, He Jiawen opened the door more carefully, but after the door was opened, it was still quiet inside, and there were no bats or anything like that.
However, just as He Jiawen was about to enter the room, she suddenly felt something sticky under her feet. When she looked down, she saw a stream of red liquid continuously flowing out of the room, and the sticky feeling came from this red liquid.
What followed was a strong smell of blood, and He Jiawen's expression changed drastically because all the things on the ground were filled with blood.
She even saw an eyeball in the pool of blood, rolling towards her with the blood flow!
What's even more creepy is that another eyeball appeared right after, as well as a nose, a mouth, and even white teeth could be seen in the mouth.
When these things appeared, He Jiawen seemed to see a strange smiling face appearing in the pool of blood, and those two eyes were looking at her.
"Demon monster, break it for me!" He Jiawen suddenly took out a yellow talisman from her arms, flicked it, and the talisman burned on its own. When she knocked the burning talisman into the pool of blood on the ground, there was a sharp sound.
A harsh cry suddenly sounded, and immediately after that, the eyes, nose and mouth all disappeared, and even the blood on the ground disappeared.
But at this moment, a group of bats flew out of the room again, and all of them rushed towards He Jiawen.
He Jiawen turned her right hand, and a small dagger appeared in her hand. A layer of white light shone on the dagger, and a sharp blade appeared on the front part.
The bats flying out of the room were vulnerable to this extremely sharp dagger. As He Jiawen kept slashing, the ground was soon covered with countless bat corpses.
The strange thing was that when all the bats died, He Jiawen lowered his head and looked again. There was nothing left on the ground. It was as if those bats had never appeared before.
He Jiawen frowned slightly and slowly opened the door. To her surprise, there was someone in this room.
An old man with gray hair was lying on a recliner, facing the window, and seemed to have fallen asleep. He Jiawen hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the old man.
But before she could get closer, the old man on the couch turned around and looked at her.
He Jiawen was immediately shocked, "Master, why are you here?"
The old man on the recliner had a rosy complexion and a kind smile on his face. He waved to He Jiawen and shouted: "Come, come to Master."
He Jiawen just took two steps forward when he suddenly woke up and quickly backed away, "No, you are not my master. This is an illusion!"
She quickly took out a jade talisman from her pocket. In an instant, the jade talisman glowed brightly, and the room was filled with white. When the white light disappeared, He Jiawen looked carefully and found that she was still in the hall on the first floor of the castle.
, and this time, she found that the wall clock was actually moving.
A creepy feeling immediately hit her heart, and He Jiawen immediately rushed towards the castle gate without any hesitation.
But at this moment, the heavy castle door suddenly slammed shut, and the room fell into darkness.
