Strange Stories about Castle Rules
The wide skirt was not very convenient for running. Shi Yan had to hold on to a lot of clothes to avoid the risk of falling.
Now that she had finally arrived at a safe place like the attic and reunited with her teammates, she felt a long-lost sense of relief.
However, this dress still has the effect of confusing others so that her identity as an outsider will not be immediately discovered, so she decided to wear it first.
"Finally I'm glad to see you all. This castle is really weird."
She told them about the life-threatening situation she had just been in and also offered her guess about the location of the key.
Ding Can used the floor plan to find Mrs. Lorraine's residence in the castle.
Her room was located in a corner on the second floor. Judging from the structure of the room, it was larger than the maid's room she had imagined, and there was even an area where she could work.
Perhaps it was because Mrs. Lorraine had to deal with so many things, big and small, in the castle that she inevitably needed such a space.
"We can't go outside the castle. If we want to reach Lorraine's room using the teleportation cabinet, everyone will probably be scattered again. The best way is to go downstairs directly."
They had tried breaking windows before.
Glass windows, which are imagined to be easily broken, are like a solid wall to them.
It was as if there was a specific ban in the castle, and they could only leave through the main entrance. All other efforts were in vain.
Finding the key is their only way out.
When movement is restricted everywhere in the castle, the most important thing is to choose the safest and most effective way.
Shi Yan didn't think it was that complicated: "Why don't we just act together? It's always good to have someone to look after us."
No one had any objection, otherwise we would have to spend time exchanging messages every time we met, which would be a huge waste of energy.
She thought of something: "But those two eyeballs, do you have any ideas? For example, what purpose would the owner of the safe have in collecting such human tissue?"
Gao Wenwen stretched out his finger and said, "Maybe they are enemies. After killing someone, they take their organs as trophies."
The psychology of a murderer is difficult to guess. It is not surprising that he will do anything to satisfy his own abnormal psychology or to prove his victory.
"But why the eyeballs?" Xia Jialian lowered his eyes, questioning, but also making guesses in his mind, and even the idea of a plan gradually emerged.
The choice of collectibles is often closely related to people's subjective factors. If they are placed outside where everyone can see them, perhaps in order to shock others, people choose items that can relatively grab other people's attention.
Just like in ancient times when two countries were at war, there would be a practice of hanging the bodies of the enemy soldiers on the city walls in order to defeat the enemy's confidence.
But in this case, it will definitely be made public and known to everyone.
But as Shi Yan saw, it was just kept privately in a safe, which means it was not for outsiders to see.
It is for one's own selfish desires and does not care about what others think, but just makes oneself feel happy and satisfied.
When talking about the special organ called eyes, the first thing that comes to mind is vision.
Perhaps these two pairs of eyes saw something that should not be discovered.
Or if we think about it more deeply, we will easily think of Will, who suffers from color blindness and has a congenital eye defect.
Could it be that because Will's hidden illness was noticed by someone who shouldn't have known about it, the Warrens committed such a cruel act?
But why should it be preserved?
The identities of those who just discovered the truth by chance may not be that important and are not worth paying attention to in a place like a safe.
The owner of the eyeball must be a very special person for collectors.
He asked again, "You just said, what color are those two eyeballs?"
Shi Yan had seen them nearby, so she remembered them clearly: "One pair was green with a hint of blue in it, and the other pair was reddish-brown."
After hearing this, something suddenly flashed through Ding Can's mind, and he suddenly raised his head: "What did you say?"
"Eye color, what's wrong?" Shi Yan repeated again, and also saw Gao Wenwen's slightly frightened eyes, and felt a little strange.
Gao Wenwen also realized this and spoke hurriedly, "We saw portraits of members of the Anlengus family at the corner of the stairs. There were two people with the same eye color."
"Who is it?" Shi Yan asked, but suddenly an idea came to her mind and some terrible guesses came to her mind.
Ding Can said calmly: "It's Will's parents."
On the stairs they had examined the portraits carefully, because they wanted to make sure that the Warrens looked like the people they had seen in the ballroom and the snooker room.
So I have a deep memory of their facial features.
The color of the two pairs of pupils is exactly the same as that of the Warren couple I have met before. It is a bit too coincidental.
Or maybe it was not a coincidence at all. What Shi Yan saw in the safe was a part of the couple's body.
She had seen the current state of the eyeball and knew that it had been dug out of the eye socket while the person was still alive.
Since they were being abused, they would not have received normal medical treatment. One can imagine what the fate of the Warrens would have been.
Shi Yan suddenly understood: "No wonder the rules say that the owner is not at home recently."
Everyone is probably dead, so there is no owner left in the castle.
Then the musty smell she smelled in the Warens' room and the dust on the furniture she saw were understandable.
After they died, no one lived in that bedroom anymore. Maybe it was cleaned regularly, but not as carefully as the other rooms.
Gao Wenwen was still in shock: "Can you tell how long the eyeball has been dug out?"
Or, how long has it been since the Warrens died?
Shi Yan shook her head: "An additive to delay corrosion has been added to the surface of the eyeball, and the surface has also been treated. I can't tell."
"It must have been a long time," Ding Can took over the conversation. "Do you remember what the interrogation room looked like when we saw it?"
At that time, she and Gao Wenwen noticed that the interrogation room had not been used for a long time.
I thought the Warrens finally had a change of heart and stopped lynching Will, but now it seems that my original prediction was completely wrong.
He was obviously already dead, so there was no chance to punish Will.
Xia Jialian found the key point: "So now, the real person in charge of the castle should be Will, who has the right of inheritance."
Perhaps there is a rule here that minors cannot directly inherit the ownership of a house, so even if Will has taken control of the castle, there is still no corresponding document proving that he is the real owner of the castle at the moment.
However, all other powers will remain unchanged.
In other words, the safe also belongs to Will.
Will had mainly collected the eyeballs belonging to his parents. Thinking about it in a more terrifying way, perhaps the reason why his parents lost their lives...
Gao Wenwen was horrified. "Could it be that Will wants to dig out his parents' eyeballs because they dislike his eye problems?"
After their eyeballs were dug out, they could no longer see anything, let alone colors.
He couldn't explain what he was thinking when he thought about Will's twisted mind.
While I feel that this child is scary, I also feel that he is more pitiful. It is not surprising that he would develop malice when being treated like that for a long time.
But if it's too extreme, does that mean Will is completely wrong?
"When people are on the verge of despair, it's not surprising that they do anything." When Xia Jialian encountered Will, she inexplicably thought of her childhood.
Even feel lucky.
Fortunately, I have been exposed to a lot of love from my family since I was born.
Hearing problems cannot be detected during prenatal examinations, and after birth, the baby is not truly deaf. Symptoms such as congenital hearing loss are difficult to determine through simple screening.
As he was growing up, he was discovered to have a problem with one of his ears. He went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found out the result.
That was when she was very young, and Xia Jialian had no memory of it, but she heard from her mother that she was so small that she was even smiling when she was in the hospital corridor.
Because he didn't know what was going on, but when he saw the doctors and nurses in white coats, he was curious about the neat and uniform clothes.
It was not until he grew up and began to realize that he was different from others and had to wear a strange thing on his ear that Xia Jialian felt unhappy.
It seems that ever since he got the cochlear implant, people start looking at him with even stranger eyes, and he starts hearing infinitely amplified sounds.
During that time, his family would always find various reasons to stay by his side so that they could keep an eye on his emotions.
Xia Jialian remembers very clearly that at that time, she felt a little resentful towards her parents, thinking that they had changed her once peaceful life.
But when he grew up, no matter how inferior he felt about his physical defects, he realized that what his parents did was right and he should learn to integrate into society.
Even though I have received so much love, I still cannot accept it all.
So for a child like Will, who has been treated maliciously at an early age and has never received true love from his parents, he naturally will not be inspired to have the kindness that one should have when loving someone.
All I can say is that everything is destined.
But if their guess was correct and Will had killed the Warrens in some way, why was the door closed?
It was still locked on the inside of the door.
It is obviously like locking the door and not wanting to be disturbed. Does it mean that Will wants to lock himself in the castle?
Ding Can looked down at his blue leather shoes and said, "I'll go to the attic first."
She was always concerned about the description of the blue style of the small attic in the code. She had to check out the clues in front of her before she could feel at ease.
Moreover, the attic is also related to Will's diary, which is an opportunity to understand him better.
The floor plan shows that the top attic is used as a storage room, and there is no clear indication of which room I want to go to.
"Among the rooms on this floor, there's one I can't enter. It seems to be locked."
When Xia Jialian had just explored the top-floor rooms, he had checked almost every room to make sure that no one was safe on that floor.
Only the room closest to the window had a rotating door handle that was blocked and could not be opened.
Perhaps, as the rules say, wearing blue leather shoes is the only way to match the overall style.
