As soon as the guard captain said these words, Marquis Mel finally panicked. At this moment, the man could no longer hide the panic in his heart, let alone maintain the calmness that a noble should have. Instead, he became at a loss together with his equally panicked wife and daughter beside him. After getting up, it was obvious that except for the old steward named Domus who could barely maintain his composure, after learning the news from the guard captain Ram, the Marquis and his family fell into a brief panic. The expressions of the seniors headed by Wei also changed slightly, while the newcomers all trembled.
Like the senior people who knew the inside story, after all, the four of them had also seen the terrifying video of the maid inexplicably turning into a wax figure in Cabin No. 1, so when they learned that this kind of thing actually happened in the mission world, several of them were shocked. What does it mean when the last trace of fantasy is shattered? It means that the locusts mentioned by experienced people...really exist!
It is conceivable that even the newcomers can think of problems that the seniors cannot be aware of. The only difference is that in addition to being shocked, the seniors also have a terrifying thought in their minds:
Unexpectedly, it was only the first day that the killing of the worms had already begun!
As for Marquis Mel, it was indeed not the first time he had received such news. He was stunned for a few seconds. Maybe the matter was too urgent. After receiving the news, Marquis Mel forgot that there were guests in the hall and suddenly came to his senses. He immediately rushed to the door and ran towards the door together with the captain of the guard, Ram.
Seeing this scene, without waiting for the old housekeeper and the Marquis's wife to react, they quickly looked at each other, and the five senior people also quickly chased out of the living room under the leadership of Ye Wei.
Da da da!
………
In any case, Marquis Mel is a nobleman who has led soldiers and fought in wars. Although he is not as brave as his father, he is still stronger than most nobles in terms of force and courage. It is a pity that when faced with incomprehensible strange events, He was frightened and panicked. He didn't know how to respond, let alone what to do. He could only rush to the north side of the manor under the leadership of the escort team Ram with a troubled and uneasy heart, and arrived at Ma near the shed.
Finally, at the door of a toilet on the left side of the stable... I saw a guard, a guard frozen in place.
This guard looks to be in his 30s, about the same age as the guard captain Ram. He is currently standing motionless at the door of the toilet. At first glance, he looks like he has been subjected to a body-holding spell. Upon closer inspection, except for In addition to the guard's body being frozen, what was also frozen together with his body... was also the guard's face, which seemed to be full of shock because the incident happened so suddenly!
This man is exactly the Cortos that Ram said. He is not only a guard of the Marquis Palace, but also an old man of the manor who has managed the stables for two generations of Marquises for more than ten years. For European nobles in this period, what they thought of their subordinates was They are often heavier. According to the law, both servants and guards are the private property of nobles. At this moment, seeing another familiar face turn into this, seeing the motionless Cortos in front of him, the corner of Marquis Mel's mouth twitched again, Like the Marquis, Captain Ram, who looked like this was not the first time he had encountered this, still maintained a panicked expression. During the silence, Marquis Mel neither called out to Marthos who was frozen in front of him nor reached out to touch him. Instead, he seemed to be trapped in something. A state of absent-mindedness, with no response for a long time.
Coincidentally, a group of senior people who followed were also at the scene. They ignored Captain Ram and ignored the dazed Marquis. In fact, as soon as they arrived, they immediately looked at the frozen guard opposite, and then... ...It's okay not to look at it, but all the senior people couldn't help but take a breath!
Because, although the manor guard in front of me looks like he has been frozen in place by a immobilization spell, in fact, due to the daytime, this motionless guard under the sunlight does not matter whether it is the military uniform he is wearing, his body or even his body. The hair all exudes a slightly shiny texture. This visual sense is completely different from looking at a real living person. Only...and only anthropomorphic wax figures can look like this!
In other words, if Ram did not lie, and there was indeed a guard named Cortos in the manor, then a living person was inexplicably transformed into a wax figure in an instant, and it was exactly the same as what was seen in the initial video preview The scene where the maid is transformed into a wax figure is exactly the same! ! !
This man has turned into a wax figure!
Thinking of this, whether it is Ye Wei, He Fei, Cheng Ying, Zhao Ping, or Peng Hu, at this moment, looking at the wax figure in front of them, the pupils of the five people are constantly shrinking. Not to mention how many people have watched a similar scene in advance through the video. But there is still a big difference between being separated by a screen and being immersed in the mission world. Of course, several people knew that the guard named Cortos in front of them had been attacked by a tiger, and they knew that this man was already dead. , but unfortunately, simply knowing these is not enough. At present, none of them can figure out the specific principles, such as how oysters appear, and when waxing begins. At the same time, they can't find any clues. The value clue is just a wax figure in front of you. Who can find clues from a wax figure whose whole body is made of wax?
In the silence, as if she wanted to verify something, Cheng Ying frowned, pushed Peng Hu away from her, and stretched out her right hand towards the guard wax figure...
However, before Cheng Ying touched the wax figure, except for Zhao Ping who remained silent, He Fei and Ye Wei said two words at the same time almost at the same time:
"etc!"
They knew Cheng Ying's intentions, but for safety reasons, how could they let Cheng Ying take the risk? At least they were always cautious before confirming whether the wax figure was risky and would never allow others to touch such a thing easily.
Seeing the two people stopping her, Cheng Ying stopped touching the wax figure. But who would have thought that just when He Fei and the two stopped Cheng Ying, another generous hand stretched out almost at the same time as Cheng Ying touched the wax figure. On your body! Not only that, in addition to constant touching, the owner of the palm also looked surprised and exclaimed: "Huh? This thing is really made of wax. Has this person turned into a wax statue like this?"
Damn it!
Seeing Peng Hu put his hand on the wax figure without any scruples and caressing it over and over, Ye Wei and Cheng Ying were both stunned. He Fei was even more angry and shocked and almost cursed. How big is the heart of this bald man, just touching it directly? ?
Fortunately, Peng Hu, who was stroking the wax figure, was safe and sound from beginning to end. Seeing this, everyone including He Fei relaxed their worries. After confirming that the wax figure itself was not in danger, they breathed a sigh of relief. He Fei did not pay attention. Focusing on the wax figure, he inadvertently glanced at Zhao Ping on the right with the corner of his eyes, and towards the man with glasses who was closest to Peng Hu at the beginning.
In the peripheral vision, Zhao Ping, who had not said a word since entering the manor, was currently staring at the wax figure with a solemn expression, staring at Peng Hu who was stroking the wax figure. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the bald man, he seemed to have been thinking about something in his mind. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
(You could obviously stop Peng Hu from reaching out in time...but you...)
The above thoughts were fleeting. After all, Peng Hu was safe and sound. He Fei stopped thinking about it and touched the wax figure in front of him like Peng Hu.
By touching and feeling the texture with your fingers, you can prove that this is indeed wax, but...
After he was completely sure that the guard in front of him was no longer a living person but had completely become an anthropomorphic wax figure, regardless of what Ye Wei, Cheng Ying or Zhao Ping thought, a certain guess popped up in He Fei's mind again. A guess that is easily overlooked is...
Since the living person has turned into a wax figure, where is the body of the guard? Disappeared into thin air? Being moved to another location? Or is it just a layer of wax covering the body? Or... the wax figure itself was transformed from a corpse?
Yes, the above is the biggest doubt that arises after He Fei observes and touches the wax figure, the corpse! Where is the body? In the video preview, we only see the maid transforming into a wax figure but not the corpse. Although on the surface it seems that the wax figure is transformed from a corpse, He Fei himself is still somewhat skeptical about this view. That being the case, it is natural. As far as possible, confirming whether the wax figure is really transformed from a corpse has become the issue he is most concerned about. The college student has a vague feeling that there must be some kind of connection between the living person and the wax figure. As long as this kind of relationship can be found and explained Correlation, then it is very likely to use this correlation as a clue and follow the clues to find a solution.
This is a typical event-solving mission, which is very different from previous single-survival missions. If the supernatural incident is not resolved within the time limit specified by the mission, even if the executor can survive the attack of the wolf until the end of the mission, it will not make much sense. It will still be judged as a mission failure by the rules. Once the mission fails, the only thing waiting for the executor is to erase it.
Finally, after quickly finishing his thoughts, without waiting for others to react, and with some kind of guessing, He Fei turned his gaze to Marquis Mel next to him and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis, can I ask you a question?"
"Forehead……"
Marquis Mel, who had been in a state of trance during this period, was brought back to reality by He Fei. Seeing that the questioner was a princess guard, Marquis Mel, whose brain was currently in a state of confusion, ignored his status and subconsciously said: "You want to ask What?"
"First of all, I hope Your Majesty the Marquis will not hide it. In addition, you must know the answer to what I asked, that is... this is not the first time that you know about the fact that the people in the manor have inexplicably turned into wax statues, right?"
He Fei asked straight to the point, not to mention that all the executors knew about this matter. The reason why he specifically asked the Marquis to confirm it was simply to shatter the last illusion in the Marquis' heart. To put it more bluntly, it was a warning. The other party, the situation has become so serious. If you don't want to continue to worsen, it's best not to hide anything. It's best to tell the truth. Only the Marquis can get rid of all the things that only he knows but the executor doesn't know. Then the executor will In order to grasp as many clues and intelligence as possible, this is not only beneficial to the executor who must stay in the manor due to rules, but also beneficial to him, the owner of the manor, his family and even everyone.
Staring at Marquis Mel, He Fei's tone was deliberately a little more serious as he spoke.
Sure enough, there is no fool who can become a marquis. As soon as He Fei said this, under the gazes of Ye Wei, Cheng Ying, Peng Hu and Zhao Ping, Marquis Mel first glanced at Ram, the captain of the guard beside him. , hesitated for a moment, glanced around again, and saw no one else nearby, he ordered Ram: "First move Cortos to the warehouse and hide it. If anyone else asks, tell him that he has something to do at home and ask you for leave to go home." Yes, please remember not to make this matter public."
It was very obvious that in order not to cause panic in the manor, Marquis Mel still chose to block the news and dealt with it more appropriately, but this was not the point. After giving instructions to Ram, Marquis Mel took a long breath and then slowly He turned back to the executors in front of him and said:
"Your Highness, I can see that you and your guards are very concerned about this matter. In fact, this matter is indeed related to you. Well, please come with me."
