While Ning Qiushui was deep in thought, a shrill scream came from another corridor.
"ah!!!"
It was the scream of a man.
Ning Qiushui moved upon hearing the sound and hurriedly rushed out of the room and ran in the direction of the scream.
When he arrived, two people had gathered outside the door.
"what happened?"
Ning Qiushui asked them.
The two people's faces were pale. Liao Jian pointed to the room in front of him and said tremblingly:
"I, I don't know, the scream just now came from this room, but when we arrived, there was no one inside at all... and Pang Yunyuan was also missing!"
Pang Yunyuan was another young man who followed them, and he was also a member of Liao Jian's group.
Ning Qiushui stood outside the door and looked at the room carefully.
This room was no different from the ones he had searched before. It basically appeared in the paintings in the corridor on the first floor.
The little master of the castle must have been hiding in every room on the third floor.
And now, the man named Pang Yunyuan disappeared into the room in front of him.
"Hey, what happened on your end?"
At the other end of the corridor, Su Xiaoxiao also walked over.
She saw that the three of them were standing at the door of the same room, their faces a little heavy and pale, and she couldn't help but ask.
"Pang Yunyuan... just, just now, disappeared in this room!"
Liao Jian pointed to this room and said tremblingly.
"Disappeared?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked surprised.
She walked over slowly, stood next to Ning Qiushui, and looked into the room with him.
"Such a big living person, with the windows closed, how could he suddenly disappear?"
Su Xiaoxiao murmured to himself.
"Why aren't you watching from the window?"
Ningqiu Waterway.
Su Xiaoxiao snorted:
"Isn't this what happened to you just now?"
"I came over when I heard the screams... Don't worry, there is a Lu Yuan watching by the window. If there is any problem, he will call us!"
Ning Qiushui frowned, but still suppressed the unhappiness in her heart.
Sooner or later, Jun Luyuan needs to go through these things alone. It would be good for him to be alone for a while, which can be regarded as a kind of experience.
What's more, he also lent Jun Luyuan something to save his life, making it less likely to get into trouble.
Thinking of this, Ning Qiushui walked into the room and began to survey the scene.
Watching Ning Qiushui enter, the other three also followed.
However, when they searched, they found nothing.
This room seems to be no different from other rooms.
There were no signs of fighting or anything out of the ordinary.
So, what exactly did Pang Yunyuan encounter just now that could make him scream so miserably and then disappear out of thin air?
Everyone was confused.
At this time, Ning Qiushui suddenly thought of something. He exited the room and looked at the location of the room. He found that this room was very close to the large corridor outside. It was the first room entering this small corridor from the large corridor.
"Have any of you seen him before?"
Ning Qiushui asked Liao Jian and the others.
They shook their heads.
"No, the three of us were scattered in three small corridors looking for clues to the room. We came here only after Pang Yunyuan screamed..."
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"I see."
Su Xiaoxiao on the side saw him like this and couldn't help but said:
"What do you unserstand?"
Ning Qiushui said to the three of them:
"Do you still remember that Lu Yuan said he saw the lady in black dragging three bodies last night, but this morning four of us disappeared?"
The three nodded.
Everyone had a small conflict over this matter this morning, so they remembered it very clearly.
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something, her smart eyes swirled:
"You mean, the person missing in room 214 or 215...is the same as Pang Yunyuan?"
Ning Qiushui replied:
"That's right."
"The reasons for their accidents should be the same."
When the three of them heard this, they immediately cheered up.
"what reason?"
Ning Qiushui took them out of the room, pointed to the location of this room and said:
"At least ten minutes have passed since we checked for room clues. I believe you have all found the second or third house in your respective corridor, but Pang Yunyuan is still stuck in the first room. What does it mean?"
Everyone thought for a moment, and Su Xiaoxiao was the first to react and said in surprise:
"Explanation...he found something in this room!"
Ning Qiushui's eyes moved.
"right!"
"He must have discovered something in this room, and his attention was drawn to it, causing him to keep looking at that thing...!"
Hearing Ning Qiushui say this, everyone's backs felt cold!
They immediately thought of the hint given to them by the Blood Gate.
…
[Tip 2: Don’t stare at it for a long time! 】
…
"Fuck...fuck!"
Liao Jian shouted twice loudly, "Fuck!" His body felt a little sore!
Just now, the four of them were distributed in four different corridors. If it was not Pang Yunyuan who encountered that thing, but him, wouldn't it mean that the one who disappeared now... was him?
"How about we go back?"
"This place is so weird. Pang Yunyuan, a living person, disappeared so inexplicably?!"
"Moreover, we haven't found any useful information so far..."
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Liao Jian who was thinking about it very disdainfully:
"Liao Jian, Liao Jian, why are you so timid? How many doors have you passed?"
"If retreating was effective, so many people wouldn't have died in the Blood Gate!"
"If you ask me, why not take advantage of this opportunity and turn the third floor upside down without stopping?"
Liao Jian waved his hand hurriedly:
"No, no, you are so brave, little one. Go and dig it for me. I will guard the window."
After saying that, he hurriedly left here and walked towards the main corridor.
However, not long after, Liao Jian's screams started again!
Everyone was shocked!
Could it be that... something happened to Liao Jian too?
They hurried to the big corridor and saw Liao Jian at the window at the end.
He didn't disappear, he just fell to the ground, leaning against the wall behind him, kicking his legs, and staring at the fifth corridor to the east!
Jun Luyuan, who was standing next to him, was not as scared as him, but he was not much better.
The little face was pale, and his legs were still trembling unconsciously.
"What's wrong? Madam is back?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked hurriedly.
Liao Jian shook his head wildly. He pointed at the fifth corridor, but couldn't say a word.
The three people came to them immediately, but when they looked towards the fifth corridor to the east, they were frightened by the sight in front of them!
I saw that water was constantly seeping from the portraits of the ladies in black hanging on both sides of the corridor...
One drop, two drops...
The water droplets gradually condensed into wet traces, flowing down the wall...
And the ladies in black in the portraits have also changed.
Their eyes were moving slowly, as if they had come alive, and they were all staring at the five people at the window!
"run!"
Ning Qiushui felt the threat of death and without any hesitation, she directly grabbed Jun Luyuan and ran towards the stairs!
The other three followed closely behind!
But when Jun Luyuan was being pulled away by Ning Qiushui, he couldn't help but look back.
It was this look that scared him so much that he almost came out of his body!
Jun Luyuan saw from afar that a human face appeared outside the window they were guarding just now, staring at them!
The face was pale, the eyes were hollow and malicious, and the lips were painted with bright lipstick.
This... is the lady in black who goes to church to pray!
It stared at the backs of everyone, with that iconic smile on its face, and then... opened the window!
pS: Okay, back to renting a house.
There will be one or two updates that will be later, probably before 12 o'clock.
