Chapter 355 The Terrifying Castle Owner (15)
.....
Chen Yuan searched according to her memory of entering the castle, and soon found Lin Jiadong's body in a dark corner of a corridor.
It was just a quick glance just now and the view was not clear. Now that the distance was so close, Shen Yuan was inevitably startled.
What a scene it was! Lin Jiadong's limbs were twisted into an extremely hideous arc, and he was tied up by vines and lying on the top of the damp corridor. His skin was covered with corpse spots, like a black and blue spider.
No, you can even say that this is a spider, and the paper man deliberately dressed Lin Jiadong up to look like a spider.
because....
His two eyes had been gouged out and forcibly placed on his forehead.
"Paperman's handwriting."
Tan Che came to the conclusion after just one glance. He took a step forward and was about to walk forward when Lin Jiadong's body suddenly moved!
“Back off!”
Lin Jiadong's limbs crawled darkly, twistedly, and strangely on the wall as the vines grew.
Tan Qing quickly stood in front of Shen Yuan and pulled out a sharp dagger with a cold glow.
Just when everyone thought that Lin Jiadong was about to attack them, he suddenly fell to the ground with a bang as if he had lost his life.
A small black spider crawled out of his ear and was stepped on to death by Tan Che.
"Is he really dead this time?"
A pale little face popped out from behind Tan Qing.
"Yeah." Tan Che pulled out a dagger, picked up the spider on the ground, and held it in front of Jing Siyu.
"Ah! You are sick."
Jing Siyu immediately hid behind Tan Qing again.
Tan Che sneered, but there was no smile in his eyes. He rummaged through his pocket and took out a small white porcelain bottle. He collected the green venom that oozed from the spider's body into the bottle.
Tan Qing walked to Lin Jiadong's side. After only a dozen seconds, Lin Jiadong seemed to have been sucked of blood. His skin shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was about to turn into a mummy.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was this spider that was controlling Lin Jiadong's body just now."
Jing Siyu subconsciously retorted: "Spider? How can such a small spider possibly control a..."
Her words stopped abruptly, and the expression on her face changed again and again, turning blue and red.
Yes, she has come to this strange castle, so what is impossible in the world?
All of this overturned everything she had known for nearly twenty years.
Scientism clearly doesn't work here.
She trembled, her voice trembling: "If...if the spiders here can control people, what should we do..."
Tan Qing smiled, his voice gentle.
"Don't worry too much. Think positively. Maybe this is just a prank by the paper man, trying to scare us."
Jing Siyu's face was still pale, and she obviously didn't believe what he said.
Tan Qing reached out and turned Lin Jiadong over. Where his fingers touched, the skin and flesh were obviously sunken and corpse spots exploded.
"Aren't you afraid the body might be poisonous?"
"Won't."
Without even raising his head, Tan Qing used force to pry open Lin Jiadong's tightly clenched teeth.
In an instant, the strong and sickening scent of roses filled the entire corridor.
It was completely different from the previous taste, this one was stronger and more intense.
Tan Che handed over the porcelain bottle, Tan Qing reached out to take it, unscrewed the lid and poured all the liquid inside into Lin Jiadong's mouth.
The next moment, something seemed to come out of Lin Jiadong's mouth, and black twigs grew out, and soon blue petals grew out.
Is this... a rose?
Chen Yuan's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously looked at the red Tilans rose in her hand, as if she understood something.
Tan Qing took the blue rose from Lin Jiadong's mouth and put it into Shen Yuan's palm.
"The weather is going to change, let's go back."
On the way back to the main castle, Shen Yuan couldn't help but ask him how he knew that the real Tilans Rose was hidden in Lin Jiadong's mouth.
"When the butler first issued the task, he only said that the Tilans roses were inside Isa Castle. He didn't specify the color of the roses or how many roses we had to pick. That's when I felt something was amiss."
"After arriving at Isa Castle, that feeling that something was amiss became even stronger. It was so simple. Hundreds of blood-red roses grew right in the center of the castle, as if clearly directing us to pick them. Furthermore, I noticed that several roses had already been picked by players who arrived earlier, yet I still hadn't received any notification that the quest was complete."
"So you guess that either everyone has to pick a rose, or that the bloody rose is fake?"
Tan Qing smiled and looked at Chen Yuan: "Smart, then we met Jing Siyu who was almost attacked by the vines, and waited for you to come with her."
The subsequent developments were very clear. Tan Che learned from Chen Yuan that Lin Jiadong was dead, and a bold idea came to his mind: could the real Tilans Rose be on Lin Jiadong's body?
It only took a little time, so Tan Che simply followed the route provided by Chen Yuan to look for it. By chance, he found the real Tilans Rose.
If they mistakenly brought the fake roses back, the mission would be declared a failure, unknown ghosts would be released, and the paper people would be slaughtered, and the danger would be doubled.
"So, this mission was completed thanks to you."
Tan Qing was generous with his praise.
Jing Siyu frowned and immediately felt unhappy.
She is not good at hiding her emotions, and her face looks gloomy and angry.
Chen Yuan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
....
When the group returned to the castle, there were many people sitting at the dark long table in the hall, but the main seat was empty.
The butler sat in the first seat on the right, welcoming them back safely with a smile.
But that smile is creepy no matter how you look at it.
"Welcome, everyone! Have you picked your roses?"
He looked at the red roses in the four people's hands, and the smile on his face deepened.
Look at everyone at the table, there are red roses next to them.
Wang Jianguo knew that Wen Yan had some resentment towards them and would definitely not do the task honestly, so he specially picked an extra flower and put it in Wen Yan's vase.
But apparently they didn't realize they had been tricked and were excitedly waiting for the butler to announce that the mission was accomplished.
The butler curled his lips and said, "Now, I declare that your mission has failed..."
"Wait." Chen Yuan looked at the housekeeper and smiled: "Oh, I was mistaken. This rose is a gift from me to you. The real Tilans rose has not been taken out yet."
The expression on the butler's face suddenly froze, and anger and disbelief surged in an instant.
Damn it! It was so close! It was so close!
Facing the butler's murderous gaze, Shen Yuan took out the real Tilans Rose from behind him with a sly smile.
"What a pity. Please remember to speak faster next time."
