Chapter 126 Frey seemed to want to fast forward again.

The ancient stone wall seemed to absorb the faint light from the top of the mountain.

Many corners of this castle are full of shadows, and unknown secrets may be hidden behind every door.

The cold stone walls and dim corridors seemed to be filled with an even colder atmosphere under the influence of murderous intent.

The group walked through the corridors of the castle while keeping a subtle distance.

Looking out the window, you can only see the vague outlines of the foggy forest and valley. Everything is hazy and mysterious.

Since the two traitors, who are vampire relatives, can only borrow the power of the Blood Lord when he wakes up, and the habit of the vampires is generally to seal themselves in a safe place during the day and isolate themselves from the light to fall into a deep sleep, and only wake up at night.

Therefore, the betrayer only has one chance to use the unknown and terrifying power of the count every night.

On the first day of the five-day killing game, the challengers, whose side had not been killed yet, were in full swing. The two traitors did not dare to directly start a two-on-ten fight as they could not use the blood lord's power.

Instead, he wisely disguised himself as a normal challenger.

The daytime exploration strategy naturally became that everyone gathered together and could not lose sight of each other.

In this way, the betrayers have to follow the collective action and can neither commit crimes nor complete their own mission objectives during the day.

Similarly, it can also greatly slow down the traitor's mission progress.

Going up the stone steps of the sanctuary hall, through the winding corridor, you enter the loft-style landing on the second floor, from which you can continue to clearly see the hall on the base floor. Going further inside, in addition to three huge locked bedrooms and several bathrooms and storage rooms, the most conspicuous thing is a two-story library that leads directly from the second floor of the castle to the third floor.

The library is made of dark mahogany. The tall, ornately carved bookshelves extend along the walls to the ceiling. The shelves are filled with various ancient books from the Horning Empire, including ancient manuscripts and precious maps. There is a writing desk in the middle, with a feather pen from an unknown bird and an ink bottle on the table. Apparently, this was once the place where the castle owner, Sir Caligula, read books and worked.

However, Frey did not ask everyone to spend a lot of time in the library looking through ancient books for clues. He simply led everyone up the spiral staircase in the library to the third floor of the castle.

Along the way from the third floor to the fifth floor, in addition to the three fixed enclosed bedrooms on each floor, there are also the private bedrooms of the castle owner Sir Caligula, the castle's meeting room, cast iron room, armory, textile room, studio, pharmacy, tower, etc.

There are many places in the rooms of the ancient castles that we pass along the way where it seems that clues can be found.

But the detective had no idea.

It was as if he had seen through the interference and was moving forward in a straight line only towards the most efficient solution that he was sure of.

After a three-hour long exploration of the entire castle, the challenger finally confirmed that the five-story castle was covered with solid magic spells that could withstand extremely strong attacks, especially in the bedroom, which had a separate reinforced barrier.

There are three safe bedrooms on each floor from the second to the fifth floor, for a total of twelve safe bedrooms. Each challenger has a magic key to open the door and window of the corresponding room in their own pocket.

At this point, the mechanism of this shadow world has become clearer.

At night, when the Blood Lord wakes up and the betrayers can use their power, all the people gathered together will most likely be killed by the two betrayers in one go.

So the strategy at night is obviously for everyone to separate and hide in the safe bedroom.

Even if there are offensive or curse-breaking powers among the vampires that can break through the defenses of the bedrooms, due to the restriction that the power can only be borrowed once a day, and considering the absolute rationality that the shadow world has always maintained, at most only one or two safe bedrooms can be broken in one night.

The more concentrated the places are, the greater the chance that multiple challengers will be killed in one night. The more dispersed the places are, the fewer deaths there may be that night.

If the traitors are not caught as soon as possible, five days may be enough for the two traitors to kill all the other challengers.

The occupants of each bedroom are already public before the film world begins. Challengers of important identities are particularly dangerous, especially detectives.

The only way to avoid danger is to live in the room of a challenger you can trust.

The challenger may even sacrifice himself to protect the detective, and must prevent the betrayer from killing the detective directly on the first night.

The sooner the detective dies, the more this shadow world will tilt towards the victory of the betrayer!

Correspondingly, if you can reasonably mislead the betrayer, or conduct a perfect psychological game, it is possible to make the betrayer come up empty-handed for the entire night!

At this moment, after investigating the internal structure of the castle, everyone, led by Frey, went downstairs and returned to the basic level.

Frey went to the kitchen and food storage room to find some portable food, which he put into a cross-body leather bag he found upstairs, and then went to the wine cellar to get a few bottles of sweet white wine.

It was almost nine in the morning.

In front of the double-sided door leaflets, light flows freely between the window frames and passes through the colorful glass on the dome, making the originally slightly dim interior of the building appear bright and dark.

Frey pushed open the huge door, and everyone followed him, walking out of this historic castle from the basic level for the first time. Suddenly, the strong sunlight made them feel an unprecedented shock.

They finally saw the entire picture of the castle in the clouds.

Walking out of the gate and looking back, the relief decorations on the outer walls of the ancient castle are very clear in the morning light. The limestone walls are clearly demarcated from the surrounding green forests. The top-floor suspended platform and spire look particularly spectacular in the mist.

Now Frey instructs everyone to go to the cliff together to confirm whether the information of the [Geologist] and [Lawyer] is correct.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If the information is true.

There will be two people whose identities will become more credible.

The castle is surrounded by mountains, trees and lush greenery, and it looks even more eerie in the bleak autumn.

Twelve figures walked through the woods, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

The trees in the mist looked like eerie shadows, and the shallow stream became a mysterious passage that disappeared into the fog.

They knew that the real important thing about this trip was to confirm the condition of the bridge.

It only took five minutes for everyone to reach the cliff using the direction accurately described by the [Geologist].

The scene before them was terrifying; the road leading to the city-state was blocked by a huge cliff.

Even if your sight has not yet reached the edge, the cliff that is 800 meters high and hundreds of meters wide has already brought a strong visual shock.

Just as Lanqi predicted, the hundred-meter-long bridge was indeed destroyed.

It was as if someone deliberately wanted to trap everyone in this ancient castle.

It must have been what the betrayer did using the power of the blood clan before the shadow world began.

The height of more than 800 meters and the distance of hundreds of meters from the opposite shore, as well as the air control magic effect of the national defense barrier, seemed to isolate them from the rest of the world and make them prisoners of this rocky island.

In this cold morning.

Everything is in a confusing mystery.

Everyone's mood was almost depressed because of the broken bridge.

Like a detective who is about to solve a case, Frey walked towards the cliff alone! (End of this chapter)
