"Jim, you and Thomas are responsible for patrolling the first floor."
"Robert, William, Daniel, and George are in charge of the second floor. Jack and Bud are in charge of the third floor. Stephen, go to the control room."
"clear."
At this point, the 10 security guards were divided into groups. Following Richard's order, everyone dispersed and rushed to their respective floors.
At the same time, just as Richard was arranging work for his team members, the executors headed by He Fei had also officially arrived on the third floor of the castle. Obviously, since the original video preview never showed the third floor, after watching the same video quickly, After the second floor, which had a basically similar layout on the first floor, everyone immediately rushed to the third floor of the castle. They thought that the third floor would be not much different from the floors below. Unfortunately, they thought wrong. After arriving at the third floor via the stairs, they saw what they saw. It is no longer a wide space, but a zigzag corridor. There are many rooms on both sides of the corridor. The overall area is only one-third of the floor below. But then again, although the space on the third floor is not too big, it is here. It is extremely luxurious, and the level of exquisiteness completely overwhelms the two floors below. There are both exquisitely crafted decorative statues and landscape paintings that add to the atmosphere. Do you think this is the end of it? No, even more amazing things are yet to come...
Benefiting from the special nature of security work, all rooms in the castle are unlocked. The purpose is to facilitate the security to check whether the collection is missing. Taking advantage of this advantage, with strong curiosity, the executor began to check and frequently opened the door. Looking closely, the result is shocking. Except for some rooms that are used as warehouses, which are filled with weapons and armors, the rest of the rooms are all luxurious. Almost every room is filled with a large number of valuables that are difficult to see at ordinary times. To see this, unless you are an idiot, , otherwise anyone can make a conclusion. As expected, the third floor should be the residence area of the castle owner and his close relatives.
"Holy crap, there are so many plates and wine glasses made of gold in this room! There are more than the one next door!"
"Where is it? Let's take a look! Wow, there's a lot of gold, and there are all kinds of weird animal heads. Huh? What is that? Could it be the legendary matchlock gun? This is an antique!"
Sure enough, after pushing open several doors one after another, Chen Xiaoyao began to yell, and together with Kong Ling and Qiao Mengting who had similar reactions, frequently shuttled back and forth between the rooms. Maybe there were too many valuable items, except for the above three people. In addition to the excitement, even Jiang Da Feng and Xie Xiaona, who had been nervous and frustrated, temporarily forgot their fear and just stared at the room in a daze. On the other hand, He Fei and others reacted indifferently. No matter how valuable the things in the room were, they were always calm and remained as they were when they first checked the room below. It was the simplest environmental observation on the floor. For a while, under the leadership of He Fei, everyone opened the doors and looked at each room. Time also passed quietly as everyone looked around. An hour passed unknowingly. Gradually from 12 noon to 1 pm.
As time passed, in the end, the third floor was basically completed under the careful observation of the executor. The reason why I use the description "basic" is because...
Just when everyone arrived in a certain room and came to the door of a room at the end of the corridor, an accident happened.
He Fei did not open the door, nor did he casually open the door in front of him like he did when observing other rooms.
reason?
The reason was simple. It wasn't that He Fei didn't want to push it open, but that the door was closed tightly. No matter how hard he tried, the door never moved!
Um?
……………
Let me ask, in a supernatural mission with a fixed location and limited area, what is the first thing the executor should do?
The answer is undoubtedly to be familiar with the environment, understand the environment, and be familiar with the terrain, location, floors and even rooms. So naturally, Rao Shi He Fei has many questions piled up in his mind, but he still has to follow the process step by step, and currently He was indeed familiar with the environment and took everyone to browse the castle from bottom to top. During this process, he did not miss any details. He was especially concerned about the third floor of the castle. This is for sure. After all, the third floor was the only floor that was not shown in the video preview. , in order to take precautions, He Fei will definitely not ignore it.
Compared with the spacious space on the two floors below, the third floor is obviously much smaller. It is actually just a zigzag corridor composed of rooms. Although the space is limited, the level of luxury here is the pinnacle of the entire castle. As expected, it is good. , this should be the living floor of the city lord and his family. If not, the third floor would not be so luxurious, let alone have so many valuable collections. Unfortunately, these are worthless in the eyes of the executors, and everyone only uses the simplest The observation angle was used to explore the floor environment. Under the leadership of He Fei, the team moved along the corridor while pushing open the door and looking around, constantly observing the internal environment of the rooms on both sides, but...
Just when everyone reached the end of the corridor and came to the door of the last room, an accident happened. What happened was that the door was closed tightly and did not move at all.
The first day of the supernatural mission, 13:01 pm, 3rd floor of Chris Castle.
At this moment, staring at the motionless door in front of him, He Fei frowned slightly. He turned back to look at everyone, and saw Zhao Ping showing the same expression. The others also had similar expressions of astonishment. The reason for everyone's astonishment was undoubtedly due to inertia. Yes, from the first floor of the castle to the present, there is no room that cannot be opened. Even the third floor with the largest collection can be opened easily. I thought that all rooms were like this, but now there is a special case. ,what happened? Why can't this door be opened?
Could it be that the room is locked?
As the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster. No one understands this truth. So naturally, when He Fei saw that the door could not be opened, He Fei became suspicious. He and the people gathered around him looked at each other. No one spoke for a moment. Of course, there was no one at the scene. Just because people are talking doesn't mean that no one is taking action. Sure enough, after being stunned for just a few seconds, Peng Hu stepped out of the crowd. He first pulled He Fei away, and then pressed his hand on the door and began to exert force!
First of all, it is certain that if we compare strength alone, Peng Hu is undoubtedly the first in the team, and he is indeed pushing the door hard with all his strength, trying to push the door open with brute force, and then...
Click, click.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuah, ahhh... Damn! This door is locked, 100% locked!"
After struggling for a long time and seeing that he couldn't open the door in front of him no matter how hard he tried, Peng Hu gave up. At the same time, he pointed at the door and made a conclusion, shouting in an extremely sure tone that the door must be locked. Since the door is locked, then... …
"I'll do it!" As soon as Peng Hu finished speaking, Li Tianheng stepped out from the crowd, took out the iron wire and started working in front of everyone, directly inserting the iron wire into the keyhole next to the door. There is no doubt that if the door is really locked, , then it seems that Li Tianheng is the only one present who has the ability to solve the problem. Although Cheng Ying also has the ability to open wire locks, after all, skills have expertise and professions have specializations. Professional problems must always be solved by professionals. Obviously, they can solve them in a few seconds. No one is willing to solve a problem that can be solved in just a few minutes. That being said, Li Tianheng himself did it without any nonsense. The result is certain. With his extraordinary ability to slide the door and pick the lock, it only took seven seconds. , along with a pleasant crisp sound, the door that had been motionless was easily opened!
Click!
"Okay, the door is open."
After confirming that the door lock had been broken open, Li Tianheng took back the wire and turned around to signal, as if he was behaving as if he was used to it.
My day...
Seeing that the door of the room was actually opened by Li Tianheng in a few seconds, everyone behind him was collectively shocked. There was no denying that except for the newcomer and Tang Meng who had recently boarded the train, the senior people had seen the young man's methods. However, after witnessing it again after a long time, many people were still Li Tianheng's miraculous speed in unlocking was so shocking that even Cheng Ying, who also knew how to open locks with wires, couldn't help but open her eyes slightly. She thought she was capable of unlocking the door, but she couldn't do it for ten seconds no matter what. Get the lock open! It is conceivable that Lian Cheng Ying was amazed by Li Tianheng's unlocking skills, not to mention the others. Among them, Qiao Mengting reacted the most. She widened her eyes and asked curiously: "Eh? It was opened? It was opened like this." Right? By the way, brother Tianheng, what did you do before? Could it be..."
"No, no, I haven't done anything before." Facing the tall girl's curious guess, Li Tianheng, who had indeed been engaged in illegal occupation for a period of time, suddenly blushed and felt extremely embarrassed. Of course, whether Li Tianheng was embarrassed or not was not the point, nor was it the execution. The focus of the viewer's attention, seeing the door open, He Fei looked behind him again, and as far as he could see, Zhao Ping nodded slightly, with the same solemn expression as Cheng Ying standing next to him. Seeing this, He Fei also nodded. Without hesitation, he turned to Peng Hu and said, "Brother Peng, you and Jiang Dafeng are responsible for guarding the door together. The rest of you will follow me."
As mentioned above, since only the room in front of the whole castle was closed and locked, this matter naturally attracted the attention of the executor. In order to find out the cause of the matter, He Fei led everyone into the room as soon as the door was opened, and at the same time asked Peng Hu and Jiang Dafeng was guarding the door, needless to say the reason for guarding the door. Similarly, everyone felt relieved that the bald man was responsible for guarding the door. Peng Hu also nodded without any nonsense. As for why Jiang Dafeng was added? In fact, it was out of He Fei's good intentions, and the purpose was to train the other party and arrange some non-dangerous tasks for the newcomers to participate in, so that the newcomers could adapt to the task environment as much as possible.
Back to the topic, after leaving Peng Hu and Jiang Dafeng to guard the door, everyone walked into the room with caution and officially stepped into this mysterious and suspicious room, and then...
Hooray.
I don’t know whether it was the delusion caused by being quiet for a long time or the excessive nervousness. Watching He Fei and others enter the room, Jiang Dafeng’s body trembled in front of the door. The cause of his body trembling was the wind. Yes, just now, just 1 Seconds ago, a slight cold wind came out of nowhere and blew over the man's body, quietly passing by Jiang Dafeng!
As for why Peng Hu didn't notice? The reason was that the bald man had been standing by the door, and most of his body was covered by the wall. However, Jiang Dafeng, who happened to be standing in the middle of the corridor, was the first to notice it. Logically speaking, Jiang Dafeng should have informed his teammates and told Peng Hu immediately. Unfortunately, Jiang Dafeng was just a newcomer, a newbie. As a newcomer with zero sense of crisis or mission experience, Jiang Dafeng felt the strange breeze personally, but he did not tell Peng Hu or speak. He just blamed the reason on his own nervousness. From then on, he was scorned by Peng Hu. He stood by the door with trembling eyes.
At the same time, the 2nd floor of the castle.
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.
Stepping on the castle's unique smooth ground, George unknowingly came to the north area on the second floor. Since the castle's power was turned on early, even though the floor was closed and the light transmission was poor, George could still easily see it under the large number of lights. Looking at the surrounding environment, maybe he was a little tired after walking for a long time. Finally, George, who was rubbing his thighs from time to time, couldn't walk anymore, so...
"Huh, I can't do it anymore. I really can't do it anymore. I need to take a rest. Daniel, please stop and take a rest too."
After uttering a tired complaint to Daniel, who was walking side by side, George turned around and left the next moment, walked to a chair for tourists to rest, collapsed and collapsed. He claimed to be tired and wanted to rest, but Daniel was completely Taking the opposite attitude, he directly exposed the other party's lie: "George, even if you are lazy, you have to choose a good time, okay? You have only been walking for 10 minutes and you are tired? If Richard finds out, will your job be lost? ?”
Seeing George pretending to be tired and interrupting the patrol, Daniel decisively moved out the captain to remind him. He said so, but in reality Daniel did not seem to be as serious as he said. Instead, he walked straight to the opposite chair like George.
"Fake! Don't mention that guy Richard to me. I know who he is better than you. Isn't he just a retired Marine? I didn't expect that he would become our captain with this status. To be honest , I have long disliked him, don’t worry, I just checked, and except for a camera at the intersection in front, there is nothing else."
"Here, smoke one."
Snap.
Seeing Daniel also sitting down, George began to chatter non-stop, and at the same time took out a cigarette and handed it to him. Even though there was a sign saying no smoking next to him, George was still content to go his own way. The reason was just as George said, there was no surveillance at the scene anyway, you No matter what you do, others will not see it. George understands this truth, so why doesn’t Daniel understand it? He took out his lighter, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and took a deep breath. Daniel did not continue talking. After all, they had worked together for many years, and no one could understand the thin guy in front of him better than him. This guy was not a good guy, even though he had a decent job. Erba works as a security guard, but he often goes to discos and bars after get off work, and occasionally fights with others. It is conceivable that for such a guy who is not doing his job properly, it is useless for you to reason with him? But the other party is right about one thing, that is, patrolling is completely redundant. Not to mention that the castle is located in an inaccessible suburb. The thick 5-meter-high city wall and the long-sealed castle doors and windows are enough to block any outsiders. Unfortunately……
It's a pity that their captain Richard is a man who takes his work extremely seriously, a guy who is so serious that he is almost serious. Even though the castle is very well protected, Richard still requires everyone to patrol the castle in groups. This is why Daniel The main reason why George took a cigarette break was that not only he and George were dissatisfied, but as expected, William and Robert, who were patrolling the East District, were also taking a break.
This is really in line with the old saying, where there is a policy, then there is a countermeasure.
At this moment, after glancing at the surrounding environment, Daniel changed the topic and said: "But to be honest, this castle is indeed quite big. Not only is it large in size, but the internal environment is also quite exquisite. This is the first time for me to work in such a place after all these years of working as a security guard. If I didn’t forget to bring my phone when I came here, I would definitely take a few more photos.”
"Tch, isn't it just an ancient castle? What's there to see? Instead of being on duty here, I'd rather be on duty in a nightclub." Due to his quite different personalities and hobbies, Daniel's sentimental appreciation was not approved by George, and instead he held a cigarette in his mouth. Showing disdain, and clearly showing no interest in ancient civilization, George stood up and left without waiting for the other party to continue speaking.
"Wait, didn't you say you should rest? Why did you... before you finished smoking a cigarette?" As expected, seeing George put out the cigarette and seemed to be leaving, Daniel stretched his neck and asked curiously. When the other party asked, George himself She answered him with a reason for leaving that was reasonable no matter how it sounded:
"Sit here, buddy, I'll go to the toilet and I'll be back in a while."
………
As mentioned before, because Chris Castle was transformed into a museum, the castle has more or less modern facilities added, including completely modern toilets, which are evenly distributed, with one in each area, and other places. The north area on the 2nd floor also exists, but if measured based on the position of the chairs, the distance is not too close. There are two corridors in between. At this moment, George walked into the opposite corridor under Daniel's gaze and quickly disappeared. Enter the end corner.
But, the strange thing is...
At the corner of the road, after officially avoiding Daniel's gaze, and when I had completely arrived at the second corridor connected to the toilet, for some reason, I saw that George's expression, which was still anxious just now, changed. He became no longer anxious, and the eagerness disappeared. Instead, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised into a smile, showing a cunning smile as if his plan had succeeded.
No one knew what this smile meant, but George used practical actions to illustrate the real answer.
Instead of going to the bathroom, he opened the door to his side and walked back and forth among the many rooms at both ends of the corridor.
Yes, there is no need to explain. George is breaking the law and is doing a job called guarding and stealing. In fact, from the moment he arrived at the castle and learned that there were many precious collections inside, George had a wrong idea. , or he wanted to take the opportunity to get something of great value to himself. Of course, in terms of value, there is no place with the highest value than the 3rd floor, and the 3rd floor is indeed the place with the most collections in the entire castle. Unfortunately, bad luck, damn it Richard actually put him on the second floor, with someone always following him. But then again, even if the value of the second floor is lower than that of the third floor, the second floor is still the living area of the castle officers and low-level nobles. Compared with Although there is nothing on the first floor of the castle, the second floor is still considered rich!
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door in front of him, an antique room came into view. Admittedly, the room was not luxurious, but a pure gold pipe placed on the table as a decoration instantly caught George's attention. Seeing this, he maintained With a greedy smile, George walked into the room, grabbed the pipe and stuffed it into his pocket. What George wanted was exactly this small and valuable item. After stuffing the pipe into his pocket, he looked around to confirm that there were no small valuable items in the room. George exited the room and continued his search, rushing to the next room again.
Then George got lucky.
As if God planned to make him rich, when he gently opened the door of the next door and quietly walked into the second unknown room, through observation, he found a crutch, a wooden crutch leaning next to the bed. Of course, a mere wooden crutch is not enough to make George pay attention. Even if the crutch is made of pure gold, it will not make George happy. After all, the crutch is too bulky to hide, and it is impossible to take it away anyway, so it really makes George happy. What makes George happy is not the crutch itself, but the pure ruby inlaid on the top of the crutch!
Staring at the red gem, George's eyes were filled with greed.
(Haha, get rich!)
This was the first thought that came to George's mind when he saw the gem. The moment he saw the gem clearly, his face was full of joy, and his whole person was filled with joy. Since this was where the nobles lived in those days, he instantly This confirms that the gem is real. What does this mean? It's very simple. It means that as long as he can take this precious gem out of the castle, he will no longer have to work and will have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life!
Thinking of the happy life after the success, George moved. In order to prevent making any noise, he first quietly closed the door behind him, then walked to the bed and picked up the crutch. Finally, he took out the knife and started working, trying to pry the gem away from the crutch as quickly as possible. , during this period, I concentrated on it and was immersed in it, but...
It was precisely because he was too serious and too focused that he overlooked one thing and did not see what just happened, or a strange scene that was quietly playing out behind it:
Just when George was facing the bed and lowering his head to work, for some reason, behind him, the originally empty living room floor began to turn red, gradually turning red, and then revealing a red circle similar to a star formation!
Shrouded in crimson, the circular magic circle is gradually gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming more and more clear, and finally revealing the whole picture, and the whole picture is indeed a starry magic circle with a large number of strange symbols imprinted inside. No one knows the reason for the magic circle. Appeared suddenly, and no one knew the origin of the magic circle. The only thing they knew was...
It's not over, far from it.
As the blood-colored magic circle appeared out of thin air, soon, something protruded in the middle of the magic circle, and a human head protruded in an extremely slow way. A head just popped up from the bottom up from the absolutely solid ground! ! !
