Several people were forced into the castle. Qin Changqing walked in front, Xitu and Huo Qi walked on his left and right. Hanhai originally wanted to walk at the back to finish the group, but was overtaken by the blond man.

Hanhai glanced at him, and then he heard the blond man say to him with a smile: "I'll be the one to escort the beauty."

Hanhai: “…” Why do I always feel that this person looks familiar?

The castle gate is at least ten meters high, and is engraved with gorgeous and wild patterns. However, because no one has cleaned it for many years, a thick layer of black dirt has stuck to the patterns, making it difficult to see its former beauty.

It was almost evening, and when everyone walked into the gate, the light inside became even dimmer.

"It's dinner time." The maid who led them in suddenly shouted, which scared Xitu, who was already a little scared, so much that he almost jumped onto Qin Changqing.

Everyone looked in the direction the maid pointed. It was a long dining table, probably big enough to seat over twenty people at once. There wasn't much dust on the table, but it wasn't particularly clean either.

"What do they want to do?" Situ asked tremblingly.

Qin Changqing didn't know what they wanted to do, but as an atheist, he was actually more curious about the principles of the formation of these spiritual energy bodies.

"Do as they say and see what they want to do." The blond man standing next to him spoke at this time.

As if she noticed that they had been standing still at the door, the maid repeated the sentence over and over again. The frequency became higher and higher, making the sound more and more sharp and piercing, and those ghostly energy bodies surrounded them again.

"Damn, my ears are going deaf." Xitu had a bitter face and was pulled by Qin Changqing to sit down at the dining table.

As soon as everyone was seated, the maid's shrill voice stopped immediately.

Then, a group of maids came out stiffly from somewhere in the castle. They each held a plate in their hands and walked to the dining table, placing it in front of Qin Changqing and the others with a "bang".

"Guests, please have dinner." The maid shouted again.

Situ's face turned green as he took one look at the plates in front of him. The pale plates were filled with chunks of meat or organs that looked like they'd been ripped from an animal. Clumped dark red blood mixed with unprocessed fur was so disgusting, he nearly vomited.

Seeing that the maid was about to repeat herself again, Qin Changqing quickly whispered to the others, "Put the things away."

Several people had space buttons with them. They immediately understood what was said and poured everything on the plates into the space buttons.

Although the maids were meticulously controlling their actions, they had no discernment. Seeing the plates empty, they quickly put them away. The maid who had initially led them in suddenly called out, "Please go into the guest room and rest."

Everyone looked at each other. After the maid's series of actions, they all had their own guesses in their minds. Just in time to find a place to discuss, they obediently followed the maid's instructions and walked up the stairs of the castle.

The interior of the magnificent castle was hollow, with a high dome built on the top floor, and several beautifully designed staircases winding around the center on both sides. The maid led them to the fifth floor and watched them enter their rooms before retreating.

After Qin Changqing entered the room, he waited for the maid's footsteps to leave, and hurried to open the door, only to find that the door was locked from the outside!

Qin Changqing was so angry that he kicked the door, but just as he lifted his foot, the door that had just been locked was opened from the outside.

The blond man was standing in the open doorway. The other person's gaze followed his face, upper body and then his raised right leg. I don't know what he thought of, but he suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Changqing glanced at him and put his legs down naturally.

The blond man smiled and said, "I thought you were inviting me just now."

"You think too much." Qin Changqing also looked at his face carefully, and really wanted to reach out and pull it to see if it was covered with a layer of human skin mask or something like that.

"If you look at me like that, I'll think you're in love with me." The blond man smiled very ambiguously and frivolously, like a playboy who wanders among flowers all year round.

Qin Changqing put his hands in his pockets and laughed, "I don't even know your name, do you think it's possible?"

The blond man uttered a meaningful "Oh," and said, "Are you suggesting we exchange names?"

"I'm not interested in your name at all." Qin Changqing was very rude to him. In order to show that he really had no interest in him, he deliberately turned around and looked at this so-called guest room.

"But I'm very interested in you. Why don't you try dating me?"

The blond man's voice suddenly sounded close to his ears.

A familiar feeling, as if being steamed by hormones, suddenly came over Qin Changqing, and he almost blurted out the Emperor's name - so similar, almost exactly the same.

"The expression on your face just now seemed like you were recalling a certain scene. Did you mistake me for someone else?" the blond man asked with a low laugh.

Qin Changqing didn't respond, and the man continued, "Although being mistaken for someone else really hurts me, I don't mind being just a lover who relieves your worries. After all, a beauty like you deserves the love of more people."

Qin Changqing: "..." Are you serious?

"Well, although it's not nice to say it, I have to interrupt your love talk." Situ's voice weakly interrupted at the door.

The blond man did not leave Qin Changqing's side. He just said with a little regret: "Okay, then please remember my name. My name is Jin, and I am ranked fourth. Today I am captured by your beauty, and from now on I will be your most loyal lover."

Xitu: “…”

Qin Changqing: "..."

At this time, Hanhai also walked in. He immediately found that there was a man sticking to the queen. He was frightened and hurried over to separate the man, staring at the man who called himself Jin warily.

Jin and Hanhai looked at each other, and seemed to see that Hanhai had no intention of giving way. He sighed with great regret, and then looked at Qin Changqing with a sad face, just like the second male lead in an idol drama who is affectionate but never gets a response.

Qin Changqing: "..." How long has your script been preparing? Will you ever finish it?

He was afraid that this person would start to say something cheesy, so he quickly changed the subject to the main topic. "These servants seem to be repeating a certain scene all the time, and they don't allow others to disrupt their fixed 'routine'... What do you think?"

"Ah, I've heard of this," Situ quickly raised his hand, and then the righteous young policeman lowered his voice and said with some trembling, "I heard that some ghosts will repeat what they did before they died. Aren't those the jobs that maids do every day?" So many ghosts, it's really scary.

Qin Changqing hadn't expected that legends about ghosts and monsters would be similar everywhere. Seeing that Xitu was really scared, he didn't want to continue scaring the young policeman. He nodded and said, "That might be the reason."

He then took out all the cinnabar-dyed cotton thread and cut five pieces about ten centimeters long from it. He said to the others, "I don't know if this will work, but I'll tie this around your wrists first. I'll give you a few injections later to prevent you from accidentally using your supernatural powers and contracting mania."

"Shall we tie it ourselves?" Xitu was now completely convinced of Qin Changqing and studied the cotton threads curiously. The things made by a master must be extraordinary.

Qin Changqing thought for a moment and said, "I'll tie it up for you."

Afterwards, he carefully tied a piece of string around everyone's wrist. Only when it was Jin's turn did something go wrong. The other party insisted that he tie a lover's knot for him.

The golden eyes were so blurry and deep, yet they were filled with innocence and purity, just like a wolfdog cub. Qin Changqing suddenly felt defeated. After thinking about it, he tied a bow on him.

Jin adjusted the bow on her wrist and asked him, "Is this a lover's knot?"

Qin Changqing said perfunctorily: "This is how we tie the lover's knot in our hometown." God knows what a lover's knot is!

"Okay." Jin, who had never seen the Earth civilization, was satisfied. He looked at the red line on his wrist again and again, and seemed to like it very much.

After tying cotton thread around everyone, Qin Changqing asked a few of them to take off their shirts and gave them a few needles each.

Jin was the last one to take off his clothes. After the acupuncture, he was about to tease Qin Changqing, but suddenly his eyes fixed and he sat up from the bed.

"What's going on downstairs?" Hodge, the guard standing at the door, exclaimed in a low voice.

Xitu frowned and said, "It's those students."

When Qin Changqing walked to the door, he saw more than a dozen students trembling as they walked down the stairs surrounded by those spiritual energy bodies, and then were escorted to the dining table. Immediately afterwards, the "dinner" that Qin Changqing and others had enjoyed before was placed on the table again.

Those students seemed to have been tortured by this meticulous "procedure" for several days, and their paper-white faces were filled with deep despair.

The bloody dinner deeply irritated the students' senses. Even after being forced to "eat" several meals, some couldn't help but vomit. This sound was like a signal, and the boy sitting across from the student seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. He suddenly grabbed the plate and slammed it to the ground, screaming in despair, "Let me out!!! Please, let me out!!!"

However, his behavior not only did not gain the servants' sympathy, but instead drove them crazy because it disrupted the "procedure". All of a sudden, all the mental energy bodies rushed towards the boy who collapsed and screamed. At the same time, black blood-like thorny vines suddenly rose from the ground, twitching violently in the air, like the claws of evil spirits, unscrupulously reaping the lives of young students!

For a moment, screams of terror filled the empty and towering castle.
