Strange Stories about Castle Rules
Unlike other solitary confinement rooms, this is an interrogation room.
There was a set of tables and chairs in the middle, and a lot of interrogation tools were hung on the iron plate on one wall.
Gao Wenwen looked at them one by one. There were whips, sticks, and several long needles of different sizes.
Although there were no particularly cruel torture instruments, it was unreasonable for these things to appear here.
He is not a criminal, and he can barely tolerate solitary confinement. Why do you have to use torture to extract a confession?
Besides, she was just working in his house, so why should she undergo a hearing?
If you really commit a crime, there are police and judges to make the decision.
"Look at this chair." Ding Can didn't notice it at the door just now, but after walking in and getting closer, he discovered the difference in this set of tables and chairs.
Compared to my body shape, the table and chairs are obviously too small. I estimate that if I try to sit on them, I will just be able to sit on them, and my legs will not be able to fit into the space under the table at all.
As soon as she reminded him, Gao Wenwen understood: "This is prepared for children. Could it be that Will's parents are so perverted that they usually call him here to put him in solitary confinement?"
The cell is dark and cramped. Even an adult would be nervous if they were detained here for a period of time, let alone bringing a five or six-year-old child here.
It is really hard to imagine, if the speculation is correct, and if it is really as he thinks, what kind of abuse Will would have suffered for a long time.
The tables and chairs are also made of iron plates. They are very heavy and are connected to the ground with chains underneath, so they cannot be moved significantly.
There was a desk lamp placed right in front of the table, with the lampshade facing the person being interrogated. The bulb above was also covered with thick dust, and even the filament inside could not be seen clearly.
I believe that when Will sits here, the dazzling lights will be turned on and shine directly into his eyes. The eyes will be exposed to strong light, and the brain will be stimulated to varying degrees.
The nerves in the whole body will be highly tense, and the slightest disturbance will make you nervous.
Ding Can touched the tabletop and found that the side was not so smooth, but slightly rough, with intermittent scratches on it, which were formed by repeated friction.
Perhaps it is because the people sitting here are nervous and afraid, so they can't help but grab the edge of the table with their hands. Over time, even if it is as hard as iron, it will be damaged.
She turned around and stood in front of the table, resting her hands on it and bending down slightly, trying to recreate the angle Will had sat at when he was sitting here.
Besides being able to see the person interrogating him in front of him, if he looked further away, he would only see the wall near the door.
There seems to be something hanging on it.
"What's there?"
Gao Wenwen turned the flashlight around and walked closer, illuminating the wall more brightly. Several strips of material appeared in their sight. "It looks like they are just a few strips of fabric of different colors."
Although it is called fabric, it is actually more like the regular color card used by fashion companies.
Squares of fabric in a dozen different colors are framed in front of a piece of white wallpaper.
The cloth must have been here for some time. Because it is dark underground, it has not faded due to light, but it is a little dull due to aging.
No one would be interested in decorating a place like an interrogation room. These pieces of cloth must be props used when interrogating Will.
"I understand!" Gao Wenwen stared at it for a few seconds, and suddenly an epiphany struck him. "Will isn't color blind, is he?"
This distance is very much like measuring vision, but it is not the ordinary comparison of size and direction.
The only difference between the pieces of fabric is the color, which is exactly the element Will needs to answer.
If a child can distinguish colors normally, it is impossible for his parents to ask about colors in such a place.
Taking this as a starting point, the photo he saw in the snooker room can be explained.
In the photo, Will is standing in front of a pool table, staring at it cautiously.
At that time, Gao Wenwen thought he was studying his billiard skills. Now it seems that he was indeed looking at the billiard table, but his attention was actually on the colorful balls scattered on it.
There are many individuals of different colors in a set of snooker balls. It is his father Valen who forces him to recognize the color of each ball.
Will suffers from color blindness, so he naturally couldn't answer the question, which is why he had that expression.
"Just because I can't tell the difference between colors, should I be treated like this?"
Ding Can simply couldn't understand it. According to normal people's thinking, when encountering a child with congenital defects, even if the parents cannot accept the child completely and frankly, they should not be so obviously disgusted.
Gao Wenwen snorted coldly, "They are all so wealthy now that the impact of color blindness can be minimized. Besides, it's not an obvious disability. As long as it is handled properly, it won't affect daily life at all."
Compared to his obviously visible physical defects, Will is actually lucky.
Even in such a wealthy family environment, as long as the Warrens wanted, there would be people around to remind Will and help him avoid this weakness.
Ding Can stood up straight again, only lowering his eyes: "Perhaps his parents chose to keep this matter secret because they were worried about the eyes of outsiders."
Just as she had seen in the showroom, the Anlengus family had not been prosperous since its founding for unknown reasons.
If there are very few children in a family, it is more likely to attract attention from the outside world.
Will grew up in the castle. As the only child of his generation, many people's eyes are on him.
But those looks were not all well-intentioned. The nobles interacted with each other, appearing to be harmonious and at peace with each other, but they all had their own ulterior motives behind the scenes.
To outsiders, the entire family's property is like a huge piece of fat meat, with many poisonous snakes lurking around and eyeing it covetously.
If it is discovered that the only heir is not capable in some aspects, the sinister creature will approach with its tongue spitting.
Those who are bolder might want to take all of this for themselves.
Perhaps it was with this in mind that the Warrens took great care of their child when he first came into the family. However, as Will grew up and began to speak, they discovered that their son was different from ordinary people.
Not being able to recognize basic colors will always be a hidden danger in the future.
Under pressure from the outside world, the first thing they thought of was to keep this matter secret and prevent it from being discovered by outsiders.
But there were so many nobles and businessmen coming and going in the house, and it was common to hold banquets to meet guests.
These gatherings usually do not really consider the host's wishes or whether they really want to be held. They are just a pretext and a place for the upper class to talk business.
Over time, the possibility of being discovered will be very high.
In order to avoid this situation being exposed, the Warrens decided to solve the problem from the source. They trained Will privately, trying to increase the child's familiarity with colors through long-term and frequent exercises.
This way, even if the brain cannot distinguish it, it can still tell what color is in front of it based on the different levels of dimness of those colors.
But how can we make progress through practice when years of medical research have not been able to solve the problem?
No matter how hard you push your children, they won't get the results they want.
Unable to achieve their wish, the two began to take extreme measures and use extreme methods to make Will remember them.
Gao Wenwen immediately decided: "We have to find Will first."
According to what Xia Jialian saw, Will was staying in the castle and having his meal as usual.
His parents, as the owners, were not around, allowing him to enjoy a moment of freedom in this imprisoned castle.
Perhaps their ultimate mission is to rescue Will as well.
The two of them also looked at the remaining rooms on the second underground floor. They were just ordinary confinement rooms, empty and looked like they had not been used for a long time.
"Since the interrogation room is so dilapidated, it means no one has been here for a long time. This at least proves that the Warrens have given up this method of coercion."
Ding Can was a little concerned. Could it be that they had finally come to terms with it and were letting Will grow up freely?
Or maybe it was a different form of torture, like the record she saw in the dance hall.

The two of them went upstairs again and passed through the basement without stopping. Ding Can wanted to check and see that the door that Shi Yan had not seen just now was locked.
The passage from the basement is a small staircase against the wall, which is not connected to the stairs on the ground floors.
There is also a narrow wooden door leading to the first floor.
The wooden door was ajar at the moment, just enough for them to observe the situation outside.
Ding Can half bent over, stretched out a finger and made a hushing gesture.
In a room very close to where they were now, a maid in a black skirt was carrying out a white porcelain tray with a teapot and a cup on it.
That should be the tea room that Shi Yan first visited.
The maid needs to deliver the tea personally, and it must be for Will. Just follow her all the way and you will find Will's room.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the corridor at the moment. The maid walked steadily. As she climbed the stairs and went upstairs, the two of them quickened their pace and jogged forward on the carpet.
The carpet can absorb most of the sound of footsteps, so they don't have to worry about their footsteps attracting anyone except for head-on collisions.
Even the stairs are covered with carpet.
However, when going upstairs, Ding Can noticed the mural on the wall on one side of the stairs.
If you look closely, you will find that they are actually portraits of members of the Anlengers family, arranged in order according to generations.
As she walked up, she looked over and noticed the three at the very end.
Gao Wenwen almost whispered, "These are the people in the photo I saw in the snooker room. They are indeed Valen and Will."
At first glance, they look as clear and real as photos taken by a camera, but upon closer inspection, these are actually oil paintings with delicate textures and a three-dimensional feel, showing all the facial features.
Will is in the last photo. He has a very regular face and short golden hair combed back, revealing his clear bone structure. Even the slight shadows cast by his thick eyelashes around his eyes can be seen.
He only looks like he's about five or six years old, but we can already see that he will definitely be a very charming gentleman when he grows up.
As for the entire face, the most eye-catching thing is the pair of lake blue eyes. Will's pupils are larger than those of ordinary people, which makes them look brighter and more energetic.
The eyes are so beautiful that they seem to be able to speak.
