The moment my feet touched the ground, the cold air from the ice and snow penetrated into my nose.
What appeared before Jiang Ji's eyes was a castle that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. A beam of deep, pale moonlight shone through the narrow windows, allowing him to barely see the surrounding environment.
She also changed her clothes. She was not wearing the cotton skirt she had worn when she went out in the morning, but a long, intricately designed palace-style skirt.
The corset made it hard for her to breathe, and her skirt, which dragged on the ground, was stained and smelled bad.
The corridor that stretched into the darkness was covered with a layer of dust, and every step left a deep footprint.
Portraits of the castle's successive owners were hung on both sides of the corridor. The noble men in the portraits had high noses, deep eyes, and thick body hair of European race. They were frozen in the frame in a sideways posture, looking at the people outside the frame with a half-smile. The man in the portrait closest to Jiang Ji was wearing a well-tailored tuxedo and had a dark blue beard at the corners of his mouth. He had a peculiar appearance and was very strange.
The ivy in the corners of the wall meandered upwards through the cracks in the wall. Looking outside, the castle stood on a steep cliff. The garden outside the castle was overgrown with weeds, thorns and nettles. Anything further away was no longer visible as it was shrouded in mist.
“…”
There was no doubt that she had been dragged into some weird story again.
In fact, before stepping into the dormitory, Jiang Ji used his special ability to predict the future. The picture he saw with his overlapping pupils was only emptiness.
This situation has only occurred once, which was the time at Lihua Apartment. She couldn't see anything, which means that as long as she makes the move to step into the dormitory, she will be dragged into the ghost story.
What Jiang Ji didn't expect was that in the few seconds she knew about the future, her body would act spontaneously as if it was being controlled.
It seems that the power of this ghost story is stronger than she imagined.
At this time, a voice sounded above Jiang Ji's head, and the tone was as melodious as a bedtime fairy tale: [The world-wide rule weird talk "Fairy Tale Sinful Romance" is opened, and the current number of people entering: 172...]
There was a yellowed parchment in her hand.

[To be continued…]
"Duke Bluebeard..." Jiang Ji suddenly realized.
She is no stranger to fairy tales, having played Snow White’s evil stepmother and Cinderella’s evil sister in other worlds.
"Bluebeard" is adapted from European folklore, and there are many versions of it. It mainly tells the story of a nobleman with a blue beard who married a poor and beautiful girl. After marriage, Bluebeard treated his wife very well, allowing her to play with jewelry and have fun freely. He also gave her the keys to all the rooms in the house, but he did not allow her to open the room at the end of the corridor.
But driven by curiosity, the girl secretly opened the door of the small room when Bluebeard was not at home.
Then she saw countless bodies of women hung up, and they were Bluebeard's previous wives.
The key in her hand fell into a pool of blood in extreme fear. The girl fled in panic. She tried various methods but could not wipe off the blood on the key. Her entry into the room was soon discovered by Bluebeard, who wanted to kill her on the spot.
The clever girl pretended to pray and found her two brothers, and the three of them worked together to kill Bluebeard.
The girl inherited all of Bluebeard's property, gave part of it to her family, found an honest man and lived a happy life.
So she is the girl in the fairy tale?
No, the rules didn't mention her two brothers.
There isn’t even a sister like in many versions.
It is only mentioned that she has a younger sister.
this……
At this time, the system has retrieved her identity: [Host, Duke Bluebeard has seven wives in his life. You are his sixth wife. Your sister is the last wife of Duke Bluebeard. ]
Jiang Ji: “?”
So she is waiting here to stop tampering with the ending?
Tsk, what a vicious heart.
She only has rule (1) now, which means there are other rules behind it. Incomplete rules can easily lead to wrong judgments.
Jiang Ji thought for a moment, "System, what time is it now?"
Although the moon outside the window has climbed up the branches, everything in the world of ghost stories may be contaminated by it.
The system is foreign technology and is the only thing she can trust now.
The system replied to her after a while: [Host, it is Monday in the fairy tale world, 5:30 pm.]
The number of people in the ghost story was clearly hanging above his head. While Jiang Ji was studying the rules of the ghost story, [Fairy Tale Sinful Romance] Rules of the Ghost Story
