Bo Chi was startled by the scream. After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the direction of the sound.
After exiting the bathroom, there is a brown wooden corridor, and at the end of the corridor is a narrow staircase. The walls on both sides of the stairs are hung with densely packed portraits, each of which contains faces with different expressions.
Bo Chi walked among them. She didn't know if it was a visual or psychological effect, but she always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes around her, looking at her with either indifference or resentment.
After walking down a flight of stairs, Bo Chi's back was covered with sweat.
She wiped her forehead with shaking hands. Thinking of Yu Zhao's current state, she forced herself to remain calm.
"Achi!" A frightened cry suddenly sounded, and the next second, a figure pounced over and hugged Bochi tightly.
Hearing her voice, Bo Chi paused in his attempt to push her away, and instead stroked her back, soothing her softly, "What's wrong, Ning Gui? I just heard someone screaming here, did you find anything?"
Ning Gui shook her head without saying anything, her frail body trembling slightly, as if she was in great fear.
As the heroine of this world, she was obviously a very weak little girl. Faced with the terrifying castle, she suffered a mental breakdown early on. After surviving for two days by luck, she eventually died in the darkness together with her companions who sneaked into the castle to explore.
Bo Chi is still a vicious female supporting role. Even though she is Ning Gui’s best friend, she still pushes Ning Gui out of the house without hesitation when they are in danger. Thanks to the protagonist’s halo, Ning Gui did not die at that time. Instead, the female supporting role who stayed in the room died first.
The ending of no one survived was despairing. Bo Chi couldn't think of a solution for the time being. He could only comfort Ning Gui while tilting his head and looking around Ning Gui to look at the place where the noise came from.
They were now on the first floor, with a staircase behind them and a hall in front of them. The reddish-brown wooden boards gave off a decayed smell, the silver lines on the candlesticks were covered with dust, and the fireplace in the corner had not been used for years. At this moment, it looked like the mouth of a wild beast, dark and heart-pounding.
And right below the huge chandelier, there lay a dead body.
Amid the strong smell of blood, he was like a broken mirror, with both his head and torso shattered into pieces and scattered on the ground.
Not to mention that Ning Gui was trembling the whole time, Bo Chi almost burst into tears when he saw her.
As for the other people scattered around, some were vomiting and crying, and the atmosphere was filled with fear.
Bo Chi closed his eyes, trying to forget the scene in the pool of blood, and whispered to Ning Gui: "Let's go to the balcony by the window."
Ning Gui responded randomly, his fingers tightly grasping her clothes. He obviously didn't pay attention to what she said and just relied on her wholeheartedly.
Lifting the heavy curtain, the world outside the window comes into view.
The sky was dark, there was no sunlight, and the sound of the wind was like the howling of a wild animal.
There are no other buildings around, only dense and tall trees. Looking further away, all you can see is thick gray fog.
The only building around is this old castle.
The castle covers a vast area, and the outermost part is surrounded by dense thorns. Next to it is a large piece of barren land with withered dark red petals. It looks like a garden that has not been used for a long time.
Finally, there was where their group was, a tower with a tall pointed roof.
The walls of the tower were already covered with vines, some of which had even squeezed into the windows, like the tentacles of an ancient and evil old god, constantly drilling in, attracted by flesh and blood.
Bo Chi was covered in hair. He repeatedly talked to the system and confirmed that his death in the small world did not count. Then he suppressed his fear and asked Ning Gui, "Are you feeling better now?"
They stood here and were blown by the breeze, and the smell of blood in their nostrils had become thinner.
Ning Gui hummed softly, her hand still wrapped around Bo Chi's arm: "Much better, thank you Chi Chi, if you hadn't been here, I would have been scared crazy just now."
Bo Chi smiled at her politely, and seeing that she looked pale, he considerately withdrew his arm.
Looking into the distance again, Bo Chi fell into thought.
She was thinking about how to escape from the castle, but she didn't notice that after she finished laughing, Ning Gui's eyes flashed with attachment and obsession.
Only the open patterned glass window clearly reflected her expression.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Crows stood on the branches, their scarlet eyes staring straight in the direction of the tower, as if waiting to pick up their flesh after they died.
Bo Chi read the story twice but couldn't find a way to escape. He could only sigh and say, "Let's go back first. It's getting dark."
Ning Gui nodded.
Returning to the hall, Bo Chi discovered, as expected, that the corpse had disappeared, and the floor had become clean and tidy, like a mirror.
She stared at the floor in a daze. The calmer classmates thought she was shocked and came over to whisper, "At about 4:30, the body suddenly disappeared. We guessed it was a ghost... that thing, so we decided to stay in the room together tonight, keep watch together, and wait until tomorrow morning to find a way out."
Bo Chi hummed.
She already knew all these things from the plot. The reason she was staring at the ground in a daze was actually because... she was wearing a knee-length skirt.
If Yu Zhao could emerge from the floor, he wouldn't be able to see her panties...
Bo Chi felt deeply embarrassed just thinking about it, and even walked like a lady.
The classmates chatted with her for a few more sentences, and when they were talking about the extremely strange cause of death, the chandelier in the room suddenly lit up, scaring the students who were already on edge and making them scream.
Amid the chaos, the lights gradually spread, and soon the castle was brightly lit.
It was not until then that they realized that not only the floor was clean, but even the table tops and walls were spotless. There was a fire burning in the fireplace, and tempting aromas wafted from the restaurant.
This obvious abnormality is shocking, as if the day and night here are two different worlds. The day is a lonely and silent place like a desolate grave, while the night is the lively time when the owner returns.
Just thinking about this made the students look pale and they refused to go to the restaurant to take a look.
Fortunately, they had just arrived at the castle in the morning and there were still a lot of snacks and water in their bags. It was not too difficult to eat a little to fill their stomachs.
Several people just stood there in a stalemate in the hall, not daring to run around, nor to really relax - after all, there was a dead body lying here not long ago.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was seven or eight o'clock. The lights in the restaurant were still on, but the rich aroma of food gradually disappeared.
There was a sound of rain outside. The numb students were stunned for a long time before they looked at each other and whispered, "Is it raining?"
"It seems so. It sounds like the rain won't be too heavy. I hope it won't affect our plans tomorrow."
"Let's just get through tonight first..."
“Boom!”
A loud thunder suddenly sounded, scaring everyone so much that they shivered and subconsciously looked outside.
Heavy rain slammed against the windows, strong winds howled, and a vague figure gradually appeared outside the window.
"Is anyone there?" It was an old woman's voice, and she said with a vicissitudes of life: "It's raining outside. Is there anyone kind enough to open the door and let me in to take shelter from the rain?"
The room was silent, everyone stared with wide eyes and covered their mouths.
They are not fools. Anyone who encounters this kind of thing in this situation can guess that there is a problem.
No one spoke. The old woman pleaded twice more, and finally her figure dissipated and seemed to leave.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement outside except for the wind and rain, a male classmate finally spoke tremblingly: "Leaving, leaving?"
The dead silence was broken, and the others replied with pale faces: "Probably."
"That old man, is that something like that?"
"Maybe it's really a person?"
"Does she know how to escape from the forest?"
Amidst the chaotic voices, a hand pressed on Bo Chi's left shoulder.
Bo Chi tilted his head slightly without thinking too much, his eyes still scanning the hall: "If you are scared, just come closer to me."
"Okay." Ning Gui's voice sounded from the right.
The thin wings suddenly froze.
On the right is Ning Gui's warm body, and on the left shoulder is this cold hand...whose is it?
The hall suddenly became quiet.
The others seemed to have noticed something was wrong as well. Their eyes fell on Bo Chi and they looked at her left side with fear and horror.
"ah!!"
A sudden shrill scream cut through the darkness, and everyone ran around like crazy.
After Ning Gui couldn't pull the thin wings anymore, she screamed and joined the crowd, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The heavy rain outside the window was still continuing. Bo Chi's body was frozen stiff and even his consciousness was a little dull.
Finished.
It's going to be cold now.
Is her luck really that bad?
The lucky person who was randomly chosen in the plot is obviously not the original owner!
Bo Chi was depressed and thought about all sorts of things, and gradually his thoughts began to prolong.
As her breathing gradually became weaker, a clear voice suddenly rang out in the hall.
“Bang!”
The hand on Bo Chi's left shoulder was rudely slapped away.
