"That's not right..."
Jun Luyuan, who finally regained his breath, suddenly became confused.
"Didn't Guangyong and the six of them go to find the housekeeper? Then why didn't the housekeeper see them when he showed up just now?"
Liao Jian replied angrily:
"Why else? I didn't find it!"
"This butler doesn't look like a human being, he appears and disappears..."
Yang Yang, the yellow-haired boy next to him, said timidly:
"Do you think... could they have been killed by the butler?"
Su Xiaoxiao shook his head:
"How is that possible? There are six of them there. If something goes wrong, it's impossible for them all to die."
This time he did not use falsetto, but switched back to his original voice.
A very powerful and strong baritone.
After everyone listened, they all looked at him with somewhat strange eyes.
The gap between Su Xiaoxiao's voice and appearance is really a bit big.
"On this point... let's wait for now."
After what they had just experienced, no one dared to go to the third floor of the castle easily.
Ning Qiushui was silent for a while and said:
"I'm going to take a look at the place beyond the gate of the castle. Are any of you coming with me?"
A few people were a little curious:
"The castle gate? What did you do in that place?"
Ning Qiushui shrugged:
"It's nothing. I just went to take a look. I have nothing to do anyway."
Jun Luyuan was the first to stand beside Ning Qiushui. Although he didn't say anything, his actions made his position clear.
Su Xiaoxiao raised her bright eyes, looked at Ning Qiushui thoughtfully, and said:
"Little brother, let me come with you!"
He cut back to the clear and sweet female voice.
After saying that, he turned back to Liao Jian and winked:
"You two, don't run around. If you are caught by that woman in black, you will definitely die!"
The two of them remembered what they had just experienced on the third floor and couldn't help but shudder.
"Okay, I got it, you go quickly... go back as soon as possible!"
Ning Qiushui and the others headed in the direction they had entered the castle.
On the way, Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jun Luyuan and Ning Qiushui curiously, and then asked Ning Qiushui:
"Brother, are you taking someone through the door?"
Ning Qiushui hummed.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up:
"In that case, aren't you a big shot who has passed the fifth or even sixth door?"
Ning Qiushui thought for a while and asked:
"Is it possible that I'm just a newbie who has just passed the third door?"
Su Xiaoxiao's face was full of disbelief:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Ning Qiushui smiled and did not continue to argue on this issue.
They soon arrived at the gate of the castle.
The door has been closed tightly, and there is still the sound of heavy rain outside.
When she saw this door, Ning Qiushui patted her head and said with a smile:
"I said something is wrong...the task is for us to find the gate of the manor. The castle is just one of the buildings in the manor. Just because our birthplace is inside the manor, we accidentally ignored this detail."
He was very strange before.
Why is it that when it rains, the housekeeper goes to close the gate of the manor and comes back with water stains on his feet?
Now he understood that the butler not only closed the door of the castle, but also closed the door of the manor.
Ning Qiushui came to the corridor filled with paintings written by the young owner of the castle.
After entering this corridor again, Ning Qiushui felt an inexplicable chill.
Like many ants, crawling from the heels towards his back bit by bit...
There seemed to be something staring at him behind those portraits!
But when Ning Qiushui felt it carefully, this feeling disappeared again...
He took the paintings off the wall.
Since the painting was hung, it didn't take much effort on his part to pick it up.
Behind the painting was a cold and solid wall, and Ning Qiushui knocked on it with her hand.
Da da da--
The sound basically stayed on the surface.
This shows that the wall behind the painting is solid and there is nothing hidden inside.
So...is it a problem with the painting itself?
Feeling the weight of the painting in her hand, Ning Qiushui didn't notice anything unusual, so she hung it back up.
His eyes swept over these portraits, and he quickly browsed the contents of these portraits again.
"Hey, little brother...do you feel like something is staring at us?"
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up, which startled Jun Luyuan next to him.
Ning Qiushui nodded, indicating that she felt the same way.
Jun Luyuan looked around cautiously and said softly:
"Is there something wrong with...the portraits of these little masters?"
"I feel as if just staring at these portraits for more than ten seconds will give me the feeling of being spied on."
After hearing what he said, Su Xiaoxiao immediately focused his attention on a painting.
About ten seconds passed, and he suddenly looked away, with a subtle tremor in his voice:
"Yes, it does feel that way!"
"Don't stare at them for too long!"
"The reminder on our Blood Gate is probably referring to these paintings!"
Jun Luyuan's eyes brightened slightly, but soon there was a hint of hesitation in his expression.
"Can……"
"We have looked for those rooms on the third floor before, but there are obviously no paintings in those rooms?"
"Could these portraits move on their own?"
Su Xiaoxiao fell into silence.
Such a problem does exist.
If the little master's paintings cannot be gazed at, and there were no paintings in the room where Pang Yunyuan disappeared before, then how did he disappear?
There are also rooms 214 and 215. The missing person is also very strange, because there are no paintings of the young master in their rooms.
Could it be that their disappearance has nothing to do with the painting?
They thought they had found the key clue, but suddenly fell into a quagmire.
Ning Qiushui vaguely felt that when she was looking for the room on the third floor, she found something not quite right.
This feeling arose when I discovered that the pattern on the back of a door was exactly the same as the pattern on the back of the door drawn by the little master.
But it was only a fleeting moment.
Ning Qiushui temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart and continued to search in the gallery.
As long as their eyes don't stay on the same painting for too long, there won't be the feeling of being voyeuristic.
Ning Qiushui carefully inspected the corridor, and suddenly found the seventh painting in an inconspicuous dark corner!
The location of the painting is really a bit off, and it happens to be hidden in the darkest corner. Moreover, a large amount of black pigment pen was used on the painting itself, making it difficult for others to find it.
Ning Qiushui came to the painting and looked at the content on it, her body trembled slightly.
This painting was also left by the young owner of the castle, and the handwriting and graffiti are almost identical.
It's just that it's different from the first six paintings. The room where the little master is in this painting... is broken into by a pair of black arms!
His pale hands were holding the door tightly, as if he wanted to squeeze in!
The little master used all his strength to block the door in the room.
He... seems to be afraid of the thing outside the door!
