In fact, it’s not surprising that they are so scared. After all, the purple-haired female locust is too perverted, and the most perverted part is that the purple-haired female locust is immune to attacks! It is actually immune to all attacks, including supernatural props. Relying on the purple light shield that is suspected of being a magic shield, physical attacks are ineffective, Taoist attacks are ineffective, and even the exorcism props specifically targeted at spiritual monsters are ineffective. , you must know that even real earthbound spirits cannot be 100% immune to exorcism props. At most, the effect of the props is only weakened. Unexpectedly, the purple-haired female is immune to the props' attacks, and has become the first person in history to be completely immune to the props. The attacking dragon also caused an extremely huge psychological impact on everyone!

It was precisely because they were too scared that when Peng Hu used the props to extinguish the wall of fire, the crowd immediately ran away, running through the corridors and stairs at a speed they had never seen before in their lives, and finally successfully escaped from the fire wall that represented death. The third floor of desperate situation is just...

Finally escaped to the second floor, or just when Peng Hu was about to continue running and lead the team to the seemingly safer first floor of the castle, for some reason, Tang Meng stopped him, and then at the strong request of this beautiful doctor Next, everyone turned around with suspicion. Instead of rushing to the first floor, they followed Tang Meng to the west area of ​​​​the second floor, and finally came to the door of a room marked 'Director's Office'.

To be honest, if the space on the second floor was not wide and convenient for hiding, Peng Hu would not have adopted Tang Meng's suggestion at all. As for the office in front of him...

I don’t know, I don’t know. Most people, including Peng Hu, couldn’t figure out why Tang Meng came here. The reason for using the majority description came from Zhao Ping. Yes, when they found out that Tang Meng had brought everyone here. From the moment in front of the office, the man with glasses instantly understood the reason, and then successfully understood Tang Meng's plan. But the strange thing is that he understood it, but Zhao Ping did not explain it in words, let alone explain Tang Meng's intention. Even the fact that Chen Xiaoyao stayed on the third floor to fight against the female locusts was not revealed at all.

Yes, as described at the beginning, Chen Xiaoyao had a great contribution to the success of everyone's escape from the third floor. If the young Taoist priest had not stayed behind, they would have been unable to escape and would not have survived until now. However, because the purple-haired female locust was so terrifying, except for Zhao Ping, everyone else was so frightened that their minds went blank. No one noticed that there was one less person around them, a guy named Chen Xiaoyao.

As the only executor present who knew the hidden secrets, it stands to reason that Zhao Ping should have warned everyone after he was out of danger, but he did not speak. Not only did he not speak to remind him, but after confirming Tang Meng's intention, he turned around and left without saying a word. Leave the group and leave alone!

The result was positive. Everyone was shocked when they saw the man with glasses turning around and leaving without saying hello. Peng Hu looked curious and hurriedly asked, asking Zhao Ping who was walking further and further away. Faced with the question, Zhao Ping answered, but The answer is very vague:

"There is an urgent matter that I need to go over and take care of.".

After giving a weird answer that was difficult for anyone to understand, Zhao Ping left without hesitation. In his field of vision, the man gradually faded away, eventually disappearing into the darkness in the distance.

Let’s not mention where Zhao Ping went or what he was going to deal with. Based on his understanding of the man with glasses, seeing that Zhao Ping insisted on leaving, Peng Hu did not continue to ask, but just let him leave, and then went with the others. Together they turned around and pushed the door open and walked into the room, entering the curator's office that Tang Meng insisted on entering no matter what.

……………

Chris Castle is a typical medieval castle with many precious collections inside. In addition, the castle itself is quite elegant. In modern times, the castle was transformed into a museum. Since it is a museum, it is not surprising that there is a curator's office here.

Pushing open the door and entering the room, you will see that the curator's office is indeed different from what you imagined. Yes, compared to other rooms usually visited by tourists, as the personal office space of the museum curator, the office has a distinctly modern atmosphere. The interior Except for a few oil paintings and a small number of decorations, there are almost no valuable collections here. All they have is the most common office layout in my impression. As expected, there are desks and chairs in front of me, with phones and many documents placed on the table. They are the most common office drinking fountains, lockers, and sofas and coffee tables for guests. There is also a bookshelf representing knowledge displayed in the corner. The layout is not complicated, and the whole is a typical office scene.

Of course, it doesn't matter what the scene is like. Everyone is not here to enjoy the tour. After a rough inspection of the room, Tang Meng took out a candle and lit it first. This made others secretly sigh that Tang Meng was well prepared. Although many times The executioner has to face the dark environment. Everyone has long been accustomed to carrying a flashlight, but it is just a flashlight. I never thought that the female doctor would actually carry a candle with her in addition to the flashlight. Look at the obvious comparison that Tang Meng is carrying. The slightly larger backpack of others must contain a lot of things.

Different from the cat's eye flashlight which can only illuminate part of the area by focusing the light, the diffused flame of the candle is enough to illuminate the entire room. After lighting the candle and turning off the flashlight, under the curious gaze of Peng Hu and others, Tang Meng began to rummage. , and went straight to the locker bookshelf.

As I said before, there are no fools who can survive to this day, almost all of them are smart people with excellent IQs. As expected, when Tang Meng entered the room, he rummaged through the boxes as if he was looking for it. After getting over the panic and regaining his composure, everyone watched. Gradually it became clear that whether it was Peng Hu himself or Li Tianheng and Chen Shuihong who were also present, the three of them were thoughtful. Then, without Tang Meng's reminder, the three of them followed suit and rummaged around the office like Tang Meng. , only Qiao Mengting reacted strangely, either because she couldn't guess Tang Meng's intention or because she had other things in mind. While everyone else was busy, the girl didn't move. Instead, she just sat on the sofa and took a closer look. .

To be honest, this kind of attitude of sitting idle while others are busy is enough to make anyone feel dissatisfied. However, considering that the other party is only an 18-year-old girl, Peng Hu doesn't bother to care about her. He just orders Li Tianheng to go out and be on guard, and to warn him immediately if there is any abnormality. However...

At the moment when Li Tianheng agreed casually and was about to go out, Li Tianheng was slightly startled, as if he suddenly thought of something, he quickly rolled his eyes and immediately scanned the scene. There is no doubt that, as described above, he was escaping from the dangerous situation. After regaining his composure, Li Tianheng suddenly found that there was one less person around him, a guy named Chen Xiaoyao!

"Where is Chen Xiaoyao? Why isn't he here?"

Sure enough, after Li Tianheng mentioned this, everyone except Tang Meng, who had been immersed in rummaging, was all shocked and stopped their movements. It was only then that they suddenly realized that there was indeed one less person around them, and they discovered that Chen, who was originally with them, Xiaoyao is not here!

"Eh? That's right, Chen Xiaoyao, where did this kid Chen Xiaoyao go? Didn't he stay with us all the time? Hey, do any of you know where that kid went?" After scanning the scene, Peng Hu followed closely. Asked in shock, he hoped to get the answer from others, but unfortunately no one spoke, because no one else knew where Chen Xiaoyao was. After all, he ran away in a panic, and everyone ran away in a panic. Who would care about anything else?

This is certainly true, but...

"Gudu."

After pondering for a moment, Peng Hu finally turned pale after swallowing, and then the corners of his mouth twitched and he said tentatively: "Then, is that kid still on the third floor?"

"No! Impossible, absolutely impossible!" There is no reason, no reason. The moment Peng Hu just expressed his personal guess, before anyone else could say anything, Chen Shuihong jumped up and down on the spot as if he had been stabbed by a needle and hurriedly refuted it. Said: "Brother Peng, please don't think blindly. Brother Chen is very smart. He will never do something that is equivalent to suicide!"

"Ah, I understand. Brother Chen must have left for something like Zhao Ping, so he left the team midway and went elsewhere."

As mentioned above, no one knows why Chen Shuihong reacted so violently, and no one knows why the fat man said so affirmatively. Of course, this so-called ignorance is only limited to others. Others may not know, but Chen Shuihong undoubtedly knows his own family affairs. In fact, The reason for his fierce reaction and immediate retort was that he was too smart, so smart that ordinary people would be intimidated. As a cunning old man who is very good at figuring out people's hearts, after long-term contact, Chen Shuihong has already become familiar with the team and can In this way, except for newcomers, there is no senior person who cannot understand everything. By understanding thoroughly, it refers to a comprehensive understanding of personality, temperament, ability and even conduct, etc. For example, He Fei is wise, smart and good at reasoning, such as Cheng Ying. Chen Shuihong's cold, decisive and keen observation, such as Peng Hu's rough and subtle courage, and Li Tianheng's crazy extreme who dares to do anything once he goes crazy, etc. Chen Shuihong understands almost everyone, even the despicable one. A certain man with glasses who is insidious and good at hiding gradually reveals his true nature under the long-term observation of the fat middle-aged man!

It was precisely based on his in-depth understanding of the team that when Peng Hu came up with the speculation that Chen Xiaoyao might still be on the third floor, Chen Shuihong was frightened to death on the spot! Based on his understanding of the bald man, once it is confirmed that Chen Xiaoyao is still on the third floor, Peng Hu, who has always been extremely loyal, will definitely return to the third floor. Li Tianheng, who has a good relationship with Chen Xiaoyao, will most likely choose to follow him. If it develops to that point, doesn't it mean that I have to follow him upstairs? You must know that there are hawks upstairs, a purple-haired female hawk that is no different from the invincible, a terrifying female hawk that can suck people alive into powder! What is the difference between going upstairs and committing suicide at this time? Well, to take a step back, even if Peng Hu doesn't ask him to follow him upstairs, then there will be only two women left by his side, Tang Meng and Qiao Mengting. One of them is a semi-newcomer with little experience, and the other is simply a newcomer. , there is basically no difference between staying with these two people and being alone, right? After all, it was clearly known that there was a trap in the castle. At times like this, Chen Shuihong was most afraid of being left alone. He just wanted to have as many reliable senior people around him as possible. If we just talk about who is the most upright and who is the most reliable in the entire team? If He Fei dares to be ranked first, then Peng Hu will undoubtedly be ranked second, followed by Li Tianheng in third!

With these two experienced and capable seniors by his side, Chen Shuihong will undoubtedly feel much more at ease.

In this case, how can we avoid the above situation from happening?

The answer is simple, stop it! .

then……

Motivated by the idea that he neither dared to return to the third floor nor was alone on the third floor, Chen Shuihong decisively stopped him. He used Chen Xiaoyao's extreme intelligence as an excuse to refute Peng Hu's guess and tried his best to prevent the other party from returning to the third floor.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so excited, Old Chen? Am I not as clear about Chen Xiaoyao's intelligence as you are? I was just guessing just now. You can't jump around, right? Well, but what you said next It makes sense, that guy Zhao Ping can leave at the drop of a hat inexplicably, maybe Chen Xiaoyao also left the team halfway, I just don’t know where he went."

"By the way, where are He Fei and Cheng Ying now? I remember when the wall of fire first came out, those two people seemed to...seem to disappear together? They disappeared in the blink of an eye. Was it my eyesight or was it wrong? Damn, It would be great if the communicator could be used. If it could be used, I would have contacted him one by one. At least it would make me feel at ease..."

Not to mention, Chen Shuihong's efforts to argue were not in vain. In addition, Chen Xiaoyao is really smart. Logically speaking, he would not be able to do something stupid like staying on the third floor to challenge a female. So naturally, after Chen Shuihong's explanation of his reasons, he just Peng Hu, who was still pale and had thoughts, was a little relieved, but he didn't mention returning upstairs. With Peng Hu like this, Li Tianheng almost felt at ease, and then became concerned about the unexplained disappearance of He Fei and the others. , Chen Shuihong was immediately overjoyed!

(Phew! I was scared to death. I was really scared to death just now.).

Let’s get back to the topic. Let’s not talk about how Peng Hu and others are currently looking at confusion and asking for their guesses. We also don’t talk about how Chen Shuihong is raising his hands to wipe his sweat and secretly exclaiming. Opposite him, Tang Meng, who was rummaging around earlier, has no idea. When I came to the opposite side of the desk, I was holding a folder that seemed to be pulled out of a drawer. In the middle was an old piece of paper that had already turned yellow due to its age. I was currently staring down at it, frozen in place. Stare at the text and read it carefully.

Yes, in fact, after seeing this, the answer has already been revealed, and Tang Meng's purpose is obviously to find clues and search as much as possible for past stories about the man and woman in the painting, which is the love story finally summarized by He Fei. There is no doubt that at the time, When gathering on the 3rd floor, in front of all the members, He Fei made it clear that the man and woman in the painting were lovers, and the way out was probably related to the couple's past life. In other words, if they want to find a way out, the executor must Understanding what happened to the castle thousands of years ago must be a priority.

Seeing that He Fei was so sure, everyone naturally chose to believe it. Believe it or believe it. But the problem is that the time span is too long, a whole thousand years. Even if the incident was a sensation and everyone knew it, it is difficult to leave clues now. , and there was no way to start the search. However, when most people were at a loss, Tang Meng actually thought of the key, and instinctively thought of another identity in the castle in front of him...

museum!

Yes, a museum, it is a museum. As a museum dedicated to storing history, the female doctor does not think that there are only collections here. As expected, in addition to the many collections on display, there may still be some hidden things in some places. Unknown past events, some archival information handed down in written form!

As for where the archive materials that can record text information are stored? .

There must be no place where the chances are greater than in the curator’s office!

Thinking of this, Tang Meng wanted to tell everyone. Unfortunately, just when she was about to speak, 'Xie Xiaona' suddenly appeared...

Of course, although she had no time to tell everyone due to the relationship between Nvha and Tang Meng, Tang Meng kept it in mind, and this was the main reason why she asked everyone to come here as soon as she escaped from the third floor. She wants to search and find the love story that has been lost for thousands of years in the curator's office where clues are most likely to be hidden.

result……

There is no sure path, or in other words, under the curse of the hard and fast rule of never issuing a fatal task, she entered the room and after just searching for a moment, she dug out a piece of tattered paper in the right corner drawer of her desk, and the paper was Then and people are filled with words! And it’s all in English that’s easy to understand!

As was specifically described at the beginning, because the mission world is located in France, the popular words here are destined to be in French. Because of this, everyone cannot understand French. The unfamiliarity with French has made the executors collectively blind. Even Cheng Ying, who was proficient in several foreign languages, could barely recognize some of the vocabulary. Even so, Tang Meng was greatly surprised that as soon as she took out the paper, what came into view was English!

No one knows why English appears in a castle full of French, but at least one thing is certain, that is, Tang Meng can understand English. Faced with English, an international language, she has no pressure with a master's degree. As expected, the confirmation text was all in English. The female doctor concentrated on browsing it immediately, but...

Who would have thought that it would be better not to look at it, but at first glance, Tang Meng became more frightened and panicked the more she looked at it!

If we understand it in the light of today's literary form, we will see that the written text is not the usual straightforward information, but a narrative article similar to a diary message. The method is also explained in the first person. The specific content is:

The war was very long, and nearly half a century of chaos was enough to make anyone physically and mentally exhausted, and people did gradually adapt to the endless chaos until they got used to this meaningless rights war.

It was covered in smoke, and as an Englishman I should not have been involved. If I could, I think I would sail back to my country, but I can't leave. I can't do it because I can't ignore the king's treatment of me. It was because of kindness that King Orson VII summoned me to the palace to hold an important position when I was in the most difficult time, and made me a court mage. Unfortunately, I am not qualified for this position. After all, I am not a regular mage, and the necromancy magic I am proficient in cannot be used. In the war, it is difficult to help the king regain the long-lost monarchy like the elemental mage.

However, despite this, Orson VII still tolerated me and understood me, and I am now sitting in the position that countless magicians dream of.

Therefore, I cannot leave. I want to spend my life to repay the kindness of Ossen VII. He is so magnanimous. At the same time, I myself have always believed that he should take back his own monarchical rights from the feudal princes who are attacking each other. , in order to help the king regain his power, I, who was unable to participate in the war, did a lot of things for Orson VII. It was I who killed Lord Felice with the curse, and it was I who drove the undead to kill Count Moda, and the same thing. I used dark magic to take away the soul of Prince Luni. All of this was for the king, and the separatist territory that lost its leader was indeed shattered under the attack of the king's army, and soon raised the flag to surrender and chose to surrender.

Of course, during the more than ten years I served as a court mage, although I helped the king by any means, I was not always focused on conspiracy. I also made a friend in the palace. She is the daughter of Orson VII, and she is so famous and beautiful that it is indescribable. A beautiful princess, her beauty is comparable to the sun and the moon, and her appearance is comparable to that of an angel. Wherever she goes, there will be a large number of suitors. She is the dream lover of every noble boy in the country. No, not only her country, but also Many princes and lords from neighboring countries are fanatical suitors of the princess. Unfortunately, no matter how obsessed they are with the princess and how fanatically they pursue her, the noble princess always ignores them. In other words, Elaine doesn't like them at all. She focuses on them. There are only two of them, one often sneaks out of the palace to play outside, and the other is elemental magic that is mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.

Yes, in the eyes of others, princess is Elaine's only title, but in fact, princess is just Elaine's unchangeable natural identity. Compared to the title of princess due to God's favor, she personally prefers the title of magician. At the same time, she does have excellent magic talent. I have also been interested in magic since childhood. Although I know this, as a necromancer, I cannot teach her. In order to prevent Elaine's magic talent from going to waste, I I contacted my friends privately and asked my friend who was proficient in elemental magic to come to France to guide him. With his excellent talent, in just two years, Elaine mastered the elemental magic that ordinary people would find difficult to learn in a lifetime, and now he became an elementalist. Mage, Elaine happened to be 18 years old that year.

I thought she would be very happy to become a magician, but I was wrong...

It's like a girl's heart can never figure it out. If others are like this, why is it not me who is just a haggard old man? I don’t know when Elaine lost her smile. She was no longer as lively and happy as before. Her beautiful face, which was comparable to that of an angel, was covered with unprecedented sorrow. She was depressed all day long and could not even mention her favorite magic. I wasn't interested at all, so I asked her privately, but her answer scared me into a cold sweat!

Because Elaine often sneaked out of the palace, during an outing a few months ago, Elaine got married and fell in love with a commoner young man.
