The dark room fell into absolute silence. Lanya held her breath and clutched Ringer's cloak tightly with her little hands.
The slight friction sound started again, and Ringer immediately became highly nervous and cast his gaze into the shadow in the corner.
After getting used to the darkness in the room, he seemed to be able to see some things clearly. There was a figure in the shadow, squatting on the ground, his arms shaking constantly, as if he was rubbing something.
At this time, Nilu fell lightly into the room and stood beside him. The faint fragrance made him feel reassured.
Nilu's eyes fell on the shadow in the corner, with a look of understanding on her face.
"It turns out to be a magic circle for summoning evil spirits."
"Xie Yi?" Lin Ge clearly noticed that Lan Ya's little hand holding his cloak trembled. She obviously knew the name, but this was the first time he heard it.
"They are weird creatures from different spaces. They are collectively called evil creatures. They can be summoned through special magic circles. Sometimes they need to be sacrificed..."
Lin Ge was shocked and worried about Celia's safety. She was so strong, she should be fine, right?
But according to Nilu, this thing is different from a wild boar and is not an ordinary creature. This is a bit uncertain...
"Is that the one in the corner the evil one?"
"You'll know if you see it for yourself."
Nilu reached out and brushed Linger's eyes. Linger closed his eyes subconsciously, but did not dodge.
Two slightly cool fingers lightly touched his eyelids. The fingertips were soft and delicate, and they retracted after a slight touch.
He opened his eyes, feeling his eyeballs warm slightly, and everything in the darkness became clear.
Crouching in the corner is a woman dressed as a maid, facing the wall, wearing a white gauze maid hat, with a pair of long ponytails on the back of her head, swinging with the movements of her body.
Her elbows kept shaking, as if she were rubbing something, but the thing was blocked by her body.
"It doesn't matter, just take a closer look. As long as you don't disturb her, she won't attack you." Nilu said softly.
Lin Ge nodded and prepared to get closer to observe this strange maid, but Lanya grabbed her cloak.
"Linge, do you really want to go?"
"I trust Sister Nilu's judgment."
Lin Ge saw the tangled expression flashing across Lanya's face, bit his lip, and finally let go, while Nilu's face showed a smile of trust and satisfaction.
He took a deep breath and moved silently. After getting closer, Linge heard what the maid seemed to be saying, but the voice was too low to hear clearly.
Continuing to move forward, with every step closer, Linger became more nervous.
Although he trusted Nelu's judgment, the maid's behavior was so weird that it was difficult not to feel nervous.
But to this extent, he can still control it.
Coming behind the maid, he finally saw clearly what the maid was wiping. It was...
Uh, a regular vase?
A white vase with golden floral decorations was polished by the towel that the maid was rubbing at high speed, but she kept wiping the surface of the vase as if she wanted to wipe off the floral decorations as well.
Lin Ge, who was fully prepared mentally, was vaguely disappointed. He thought it would be something more exciting, such as a human head, but it turned out to be an ordinary vase.
And what she kept mumbling was:
"Why why why why..."
Seeing that she was concentrating on wiping the vase and not seeming to be aggressive, Ringer couldn't help but ask:
"what why?"
Upon hearing his voice, the maid suddenly stopped moving, and turned around suddenly with a face twisted in anger, and a coquettish light flashed in her bloodshot eyes.
"Why, why can't you wipe it clean? Why can't you wipe it clean! Why on earth!" A shrill scream came from her mouth, almost penetrating Ringer's eardrums.
boom!
The vase in her hand was crushed to pieces, and the fragments scratched the palm of her hand. Bright red blood immediately filled her palm. She stood up, holding a bleeding sharp fragment in her hand, and stabbed Linge in the lower abdomen.
"careful!"
When Nilu's gentle voice rang in his ears, she was already beside him. She waved her slender arms and lightly struck the maid's slender neck with a palm knife.
The maid fell limply at Ringer's feet, and her hand loosened its grip on the fragments.
Lin Ge silently relaxed the muscles of his right leg. Nilu, who was far away by the window, reacted faster than his instantaneous reaction, knocking down the enemy before he could take action. Is this the reaction speed and athletic ability of a vampire?
"Thanks."
"You shouldn't have irritated her."
"Uh, sorry, couldn't help it." Because it's so weird, it's hard not to be curious when you hear someone keep repeating why.
Nilu glanced at the maid who fell on the ground, shook her head and said:
"Let her rest for a while. Look at her other hand. It's bald."
Ringer looked at the maid's right hand. The towel originally held in her palm had fallen to her side. The slender palm was badly worn, especially the fingertips, which were almost bleeding.
How long had she been rubbing the vase?
"Is she evil or human?" Lin Ge couldn't help but ask.
Lanya also plucked up the courage to come over and grabbed Ringer's cloak again. In fact, she was a little scared standing by the window alone, so she followed him.
After seeing the maid lying on the ground, especially the bloody palm, her face turned pale.
"She should have been the maid here originally, but the summoned evil spirit affected her spirit and amplified her paranoid side, which made her become like this. If she continues like this, her thinking will collapse sooner or later."
Lin Ge's worries became more and more intense. What happened in this castle? Who set up a large magic circle to summon evil spirits and summoned something? Where is Celia now?
Lanya tugged on Ringer's cloak behind him and whispered: "Could the muscular girl have been eaten by the summoned monster? How about we go back?"
Nilu shook her head: "Although there are indeed evil beings that like to eat humans, and there are many types, judging from the current situation, the evil beings summoned in this castle are not of this type.
Otherwise, an ordinary maid would not survive until now. And besides the blood on her palm, I didn't smell any other blood smell nearby. "
After hearing Nilu's inference, Linger felt a little more at ease.
"We must find Celia. She is already a member of our team. As captain and vice-captain, we must find her."
Lanya then nodded and said: "Okay, even if she dies, as long as her body is found, I will call her soul back. Although she cannot be resurrected, she can continue to fight with us."
Lin Ge couldn't help but smile bitterly, in his heart he still hoped that Celia would be alive and the team members would become zombies, so let's forget about that.
Seeing the maid lying on the ground, he had another question in his mind:
"Will she continue to be in that weird state after she wakes up?"
Nilu said: "Of course, only by finding the source of the evil and expelling or destroying it can she return to her original mental state. Not only her, but everyone in the castle may have become in a similar state."
Bang bang!
At this moment, there was a loud noise at the door, as if something was banging violently outside the door.
