Two hundred years ago, the owner of the Gautieri family belonged to a secret organization that reformed the destiny. However, he violated the rules of the organization and married his daughter Adele to the conservative aristocratic Juliana family. This incident was unfortunate. After being exposed, everyone in the family, including Adele, was eventually executed by the organization. The day of the execution was the day Adele became a bride.
Later, Gautieri's castle changed hands several times, but each person who took over would encounter supernatural events. After many times, people thought of the story that happened in the castle, and then thought it was the tragic bride Adele's resentment. It lingers around the castle.
Over time, the castle became a ghost castle, and as time went by and through successive successors, the castle became a famous ghost hotel, attracting many curious people.
Hoshino Sora didn't have much feeling when he listened to Lupine's narration. Perhaps it was because Lupine's story-telling ability was not fascinating enough, or maybe the story about the tragedy of the tragic bride was omitted. Therefore, his biggest feeling was that the organization ruthless.
As the saying goes, trouble never harms the family. What this organization did was truly cruel, and countless innocent people lost their lives.
"So, you are here for the ghosts?" Hoshino Sora asked.
"How is it possible? We are not that boring! We are here for Adele's betrothal gift." Daisuke Jigen curled his lips and said.
Lupine nodded, took out an ancient scroll from his jacket pocket, raised it, and said with a grin: "This scroll records the betrothal gift sent by the Julia family in order to marry Adele. Among them is There are many incredible treasures, including porcelain and silk from the Song Dynasty, as well as paintings by Michelangelo! Do you know Michelangelo? He is as famous as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, and his works are amazing They are all masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, the kind that have a price but no market.”
"And now, this betrothal gift actually contains a painting of "Confused People and the Saint Waiting for Redemption". It is a legendary work that does not exist in the list of Michelangelo's existing works. Do you know what that represents?"
Hoshino Sora showed a 'so awesome' expression, but the confusion in his eyes had already given him away.
"If a painting like this is shown to the outside world, it will definitely shock the whole world. Then you can make as much money as you want." Lupine waved his hands, making a gesture of holding money.
Hoshino Sora has no interest in works of art such as paintings. Those works of art are very fragile and not as strong as gemstones. Once obtained, they must be carefully preserved. If they are not careful, they will be lost in vain. Such a thankless task, It's better to go fishing in the sea.
"What about Kong, do you want to go treasure hunting together?" Lupine invited enthusiastically. Seeing Hoshino Sora's uninterested look, he smiled and said, "A Kong, actually the treasure is not the most important thing, the most important thing is actually Participating in the process of treasure hunting is the most interesting process, what do you think?"
Hoshino Sora was convinced, this was a bit like a detective's investigation, and he nodded immediately, "That's right, the adventure is quite interesting, but I have to eat first, then take a shower and change clothes. "
"Of course, you eat first, and Ji Yuan and I will stroll around the castle." Lupine said with a smile.
Daisuke Jigen was a little too drunk. He smacked his lips and said, "You go shopping, I'll stay here and drink some."
Lupine: "..."
What kind of teammate is this? I kept you after just a few drinks.
…
When Hoshino Sora had eaten, took a shower in his room, and was putting on his shirt and suit, which he was not used to, he heard something moving outside.
It seemed like something big was moving, so much so that the ground was shaking.
Immediately, he put on his suit casually without buttoning it, opened the door and went out, followed the source of the sound, and saw a drunk Daisuke Jigen and an excited Lupine.
"Lupin, what happened? I heard a sound... uh, this is... I remember there was no way here." Hoshino Sora saw that the wall that was originally the end of the corridor now had a wall on the left. The underground secret passage leads directly to the bottom.
"It's a secret passage. It was hidden very cleverly, but I still cracked it." Lupine raised a bottle of red wine in his hand with some pride, and then teased Daisuke Jigen, "Of course, Jigen also helped a lot, if not He was drunk and used the agency as a urinal, and I couldn't find it for a while."
Daisuke Jigen blushed, and he didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or because he was embarrassed by being teased. In short, he snatched the red wine from Lupine's hand and turned away angrily, "I'll go to the boss to settle the score. This soul How dare you tease me again and again..."
"What's going on?" Hoshino Sora was confused.
"It's nothing serious. It's just that the hotel owner's trick was exposed. When you were taking a shower, Jigen was frightened by the boss's trick." Lupine said with a funny face.
Hearing this, Hoshino Sora became even more confused, "Why would the boss do this? Isn't this too funny? Aren't you afraid of scaring away the customers? Or being maimed by the customers?"
"Routine, this is a routine of the hotel owner, relying on such weird events to attract adventure enthusiasts, thereby increasing customer flow. As for whether he will be beaten, haha, before this, he only scared drunk people The drunkard, and then used the castle's secret passage to send the person outside. When the drunkard woke up, he was so frightened that there was no trouble for him." Lupine simply explained the boss's trick. He repeated, "In addition, this has the advantage of preventing others from continuing to hunt for treasures and keeping the castle mysterious."
"..." Hoshino Sora was convinced by his boss's operation. He was really embarrassed by pretending to be awesome every day. He was still doing this kind of work at a great age. In order to run the business, he really used any method. Dare you try it.
"Come on, let's go down and have a look." Lupine took the flashlight and walked into the dark secret passage first.
Hoshino Sora followed, and then asked gossiping: "Lupine, do you think there are really ghosts in this world?"
Lupine paused, turned his head, and used the flashlight to shine on his chin from bottom to top, revealing a ghastly monkey face, and said evilly: "Actually, I am not Lupine, but a ghost. Haven't you noticed that your companion Has it been dropped a long time ago?"
Hoshino Sora: "..."
"Hahahaha~" Lupine put down the flashlight, stuck out his tongue, and laughed, "Just kidding, there are no ghosts in this world, they are all gimmicks deliberately made by some people..."
Before he finished speaking, he stepped on a button, and suddenly a square opening opened in the ground in front of him. Through the flashlight, he could see the green space outside the castle at the bottom.
"Look, that's why those drunkards appeared outside the castle." Lupine smiled and stepped on the button again, and the mechanism automatically closed, "Let's go, let's see if we can catch the tragic bride pretending to be a bride. actor."
"I don't understand, why are there so many passages in the castle?" Hoshino Sora asked in confusion.
"Let's make it easier for people in the castle to escape. That era was actually quite chaotic, so you must be prepared." As Lupine explained, he walked to the stairs leading to the top of the round tower.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and the electric light illuminated half of the sky. At the same time, it also shone through the windows of the round tower and into the corridor.
Hoshino Sora and Lupine used the sudden light to see a little girl standing at the corner of the stairs above.
