Fear comes from the unknown!
Outside the castle, no strange phenomena occurred. Just because we were in the dark night and the unfamiliar environment made people subconsciously associate them with horror movies they had seen before, even if they knew there were no ghosts. There will also be uncontrollable fear.
But in the face of the known, there is no subconscious association.
Therefore, even though the witch worked very hard to create a scary atmosphere and the sound effects were very good, Chiba Makoto, who knew her true appearance and abilities, was not afraid. Instead, he was able to think about important issues leisurely.
Why hasn't Jilan Bo dealt head-on with these two 'ordinary' people who broke into her territory?
He had been trapped on that mental road for so long, and walked for a long time in the dark forest and the stone statue mountain. The witch Gillanbo never appeared. It was not until he and Dagu entered the castle that she appeared with music, lights and sounds. Pretend to be a ghost and scare people.
Does Jilanbo, who can transform into a monster, need to deliberately scare two 'ordinary' people like this? Paper tigers are the ones who need it, so it is very likely that she is not at home, so naturally she cannot come out to deal with the two 'ordinary' people.
In this way, everything is explained. The owner is not at home, so naturally he cannot come out to chase away the uninvited guests. When the two of them entered the castle, they activated the 'anti-theft program', so Dagu who entered the room was inexplicably moved away. A witch appeared running back and forth creating a terrifying atmosphere.
Such a terrifying atmosphere is enough to frighten people to death and make them run away with their heads in their arms. If you encounter a brave person who is not scared and insists on walking inside, he will disappear like Dagu after entering the room. The double measures are foolproof.
only...
The castle is located in a different space, and there is no one around. What is the purpose of taking such protective measures that are obviously aimed at people? Could it be that this castle was originally in the human world?
Next to him was a witch who was trying to create a scary atmosphere, while Chiba Makoto stood there thinking about doubts, such as what was the witch doing when he wasn't at home? Handing out lollipops or using pumpkin heads to transport hypnotized children to another dimension?
I remember it was said in the original book that many children disappear all over the world every Halloween. This means that the witch can appear in many places, or she can open her pumpkin head in different places, so that she can bring children scattered around the world. Come to her castle.
So now is a good opportunity to explore this weird castle, look for Dagu, and see if there are any children brought back by the witch first. After all, they have distributed wave candies in advance, so bring the children back in advance. It's not impossible.
In an instant, many thoughts went through his mind. After making up his mind, Chiba Cheng ignored the witch who was still trying to create an atmosphere, glanced around, and walked towards the upward stone stairs, holding the god in his hand. The light rod emitted a blue light, dispersing the darkness and making the 'witches' who stayed in the castle afraid to approach, and could only continue to create a terrifying atmosphere on the edge.
Having learned Dagu's lesson, Chiba Cheng only kicked the door open, then stood at the door and poked his head in, never giving the witch a chance to use the door to change himself to another place.
In the dim castle, there was pleasant music from the music box, and the oil lamps on the wall were swaying with flames. When we walked to the third floor, the oil lamps here seemed to have run out of oil, and none of them were bright. The moonlight coming in from the windows became... the only light source.
This dim light allowed Chiba Cheng to barely see the furnishings in the room. There were several oil paintings hanging on the wall, and several models of armored soldiers placed in the corners. However, they were all covered with spider webs. Apparently no one had cleaned them for a long time.
The music from the music box was so weak that it was almost inaudible, making this floor extremely quiet. Even Chiba Makoto's footsteps could be heard clearly. When passing by the oil painting hanging on the wall, he stopped and looked up at the oil painting. , although the paint has faded a lot over the years, it can still be seen that the person in the painting is a graceful and luxurious woman wearing medieval costumes.
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came from behind. Chiba Cheng had no time to think, and subconsciously dodged to the left. The cold light flashed, and a giant ax struck the floor heavily, causing the dust on the ground to fly.
Only then did Chiba Cheng realize that the armored soldier he thought was a model had just wielded a giant ax and struck him. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he might have become a ghost under the axe, and the armored soldier slashed with the axe. Sora raised the ax again, obviously wanting to strike again.
Chiba Cheng raised his leg and kicked him in the chest. The armored soldier was kicked and staggered back several steps, "Bang!" 'It hit the stone wall behind, and the place where Qianye Cheng kicked him was actually dented. People couldn't help but marvel at the strength of Qianye Cheng's kick.
At this moment, Chiba Cheng saw from the corner of his eye that the armored soldiers in the other three corners were also moving. They were holding long swords, shields and spears. They took heavy steps and moved towards Chiba Cheng. Come over here.
"Is this the third level of anti-theft?" Qianye Cheng couldn't help but step back, looking at the four armored soldiers who were suddenly 'resurrected' from head to toe. He held the divine light stick in front of him and prepared to transform. Tiga solves them.
At this moment, a loud shout sounded from behind: "Stand there and don't move."
"Da Gu?" Chiba Cheng was startled by this familiar voice, and then a beam of light passed through the dark air from Chiba Cheng's right side, instantly hitting the armored soldier closest to him, and blasting the armored soldier's chest out. A big hole caused the armored soldier's movement to stop for an instant, and then it was scattered all over the ground. The most shocking thing was that there was nothing inside, it was just an empty shell.
Chiba Cheng turned around, only to see Da Gu holding the victory sea gun in one hand. He fired three lasers very quickly, smashing the other three armored soldiers into pieces all over the ground. However, Chiba Cheng did not appreciate Da Gu. Instead of using his shooting skills, he looked at the dozen or so children behind Da Gu who had different skin colors, faces and clothes.
"This is..." Qianye Cheng always felt that he had been offline for a long time, otherwise why would the disappeared Dagu suddenly appear and bring back a bunch of children who should have been kidnapped by witches.
"Let's go." Dagu didn't have time to explain, calling Qianye Cheng to take the children away quickly. He held up his gun behind him to block the armored soldiers chasing down from upstairs.
While running out, Da Gu gave a brief explanation. His eyes were dazzled, and then he appeared in a large prison. There were some children in it, but the witch who did not keep up with the times must only be using the wave board. The children were seduced by sugar and did not pay attention to the development of the world. The prison was actually made of thick wood and iron sheets. It was as brittle as paper in front of the victory sea gun. Da Gu easily destroyed the prison and escaped with the children.
When I ran to the first floor, the music from the music box and the witches running around in the four rooms were all gone. The hall was eerily silent. Dagu kept urging the children to leave quickly, and he was the last one to run out.
It was dark outside, with the moon hanging high in the sky. The originally grinning pumpkin head turned into an angry expression at some point. A black figure riding a broom flew out of his wide-open mouth, looking down at the people running on the ground. The children roared with great anger: "How dare you two steal my things, children, let me eat them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stone statues all over the mountains and plains suddenly cried like babies, shaking violently as they cried, as if they were about to emerge from the soil, which was creepy.
