"Damn it, what on earth did this little master encounter, something so scary?"
"It can't be... Madam, right?"
"...Although Madam is very repulsive to outsiders like us, she is also the mother of the little master. As the saying goes, the tiger's poison will not eat its seeds. It has no reason to attack the little master, right?"
It is not difficult to see from some of the obscure titles and information given by the housekeeper that the relationship between the young master and his wife is indeed that of mother and son.
So it seems unlikely that the lady would hunt down the young master.
"Could it be...the housekeeper?"
An idea suddenly appeared in Ning Qiushui's mind.
Not long ago, when he asked the housekeeper where his little master had gone, the housekeeper's reply was quite meaningful.
If you feel it carefully, it's as if the housekeeper is also looking for the little master...and has been looking for it for a long time!
Ning Qiushui couldn't help but focus on the seventh painting of the little master.
Looking at the pair of black arms and pale hands, a scene that made his hair stand on end suddenly appeared in Ning Qiushui's mind!
That was when they were eating -
When the butler in a black suit pushes the dining cart over, he always wears a pair of white gloves!
Could it be that... the dark figure who wants to kill the little master is really the butler of the castle?
Why did he do that?
"But when it comes to madam and young master, I thought of another thing..."
Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and walked gently in the corridor.
Ning and Jun looked at him.
"What did you think of?"
Su Xiaoxiao slowed down and asked a very normal question that was ignored by them:
"If there is both a 'mother' and a 'child' in this castle, then where is the 'father'?"
His question made Ning and Jun react violently!
"yes……"
"There is a mother and a child, so there must be a father, but the housekeeper of this castle seems to have never mentioned anything about the little master's father..."
Jun Luyuan murmured to himself, while seriously thinking about this problem, his eyes became sharper and sharper.
How could a mother give birth to a child without a father?
But if there is a father, where is he now?
Why didn't the housekeeper say a word about the young master's father?
As everyone explored the castle, instead of solving the questions in their minds, they became more and more confused.
These questions were like an eggbeater, turning their brains into a mess.
"Go back first!"
Ning Qiushui said.
The longer they stayed in this corridor, the more they felt the lingering chill growing on them.
No one knows if something terrible will happen if we continue to stay...
Anyway, they basically remembered the contents of the painting.
When leaving, Ning Qiushui deliberately glanced at one of the paintings.
This is the painting with a clear pattern behind the door of the previous room.
He still felt... something wasn't quite right.
It seemed that there was a special detail that he had overlooked.
After a moment of silence, Ning Qiushui shook her head and followed the two of them back to the hall of the castle.
At this time, it was already after four o'clock in the afternoon.
Everyone waited for a while, and Guangyong and Wen Qingya came back from another corridor.
These people don't look pretty.
Moreover, Ning Qiushui and others noticed that among the people who came back... there was one missing.
"What's going on?"
"Why is there one person missing?"
Su Xiaoxiao yawned. He was feeling sleepy after waiting for these people.
Guangyong sat aside with an ugly expression.
"Something unexpected happened in the middle, and someone suddenly disappeared..."
Upon hearing the word missing, the expressions of Su Xiaoxiao and others changed slightly.
Missing again!
This is only the second day, and three of them have already disappeared inexplicably!
"What expressions do you have on your faces...Why, some of you are missing too?"
Wen Qingya frowned.
She counted and found that there were only five people left in Ning Qiushui's team.
"right."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
"When we went to the third floor, Pang Yunyuan also disappeared in a room."
"The doors and windows of that room showed no signs of damage, no secret passages, nothing. It was as if he had evaporated inside..."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, everyone's faces became a little ugly again.
They have all felt how strange the world in this bloody door is!
A good living person disappears when he says it will disappear...
Even if you are killed by a terrifying unknown entity like the Madam in Black, a corpse will be left behind!
Where did those people who suddenly disappeared in the castle go?
"Are there any clues on the third floor?"
The atmosphere was a little heavy, and Guangyong asked Su Xiaoxiao.
"There are no useful clues. The corridor to the east is filled with self-portraits of the lady in black. When we get close to there, the lady in black in the portrait will stare at us, and then start to seep..."
"Then the lady in black who was supposed to be praying in the church climbed in through the window!"
"If Brother Qiu Shui hadn't broken the ghost wall in time, I think we would all have died on the third floor!"
"There should be important secrets in that place, but we can only find a way to get in tomorrow..."
Su Xiaoxiao did not hide these things.
Because there is no point in hiding these things.
If he gets any important clues, he might hide them and find ways to get some benefits from other people.
But the problem now is that the castle is weirder than they imagined.
After being delayed here for almost two days, not only did they not get any important clues, they were also left with a lot of puzzles!
"what about you?"
Guangyong sighed.
"We were on the first floor of the castle and searched everywhere we could, but we didn't see the housekeeper. Then we went to the kitchen..."
At this point, Guangyong's face became a little gloomy.
"...No one has ever used that kitchen, at least not in the past few months!"
"There is dust all around, the water in the water pipes is brown with rust stains, mice, and spider webs are everywhere..."
"There are no servants in this castle, and the food we are given to eat is not made in the kitchen..."
His words made Ning Qiushui and others startled.
"Shit, the next day is about to end. We haven't gotten any useful information, and six people are still missing..."
The thin man who had identified Ning Qiushui before kicked the wall and cursed in a low voice.
His expression was already a little distorted.
Obviously, he had encountered some horrific things while searching for the housekeeper.
After everyone was silent for a while, Ning Qiushui slowly spoke again and told a fact that made them even more uncomfortable:
"Oh, by the way, there's something else I didn't tell you..."
"In five days, what we are leaving is not this castle... but the manor."
"We now have three problems that need to be solved urgently——"
"First, where is the gate of the manor?"
"Second, how do we leave the castle and get to the gate of the manor without getting caught in the rain?"
"Third, how do you get the key to open the gate of the manor?"
pS: There may be three more updates in the evening.
There are at least two more updates.
Finished before 9 o'clock.
