Chapter 365 The Terrifying Castle Owner (25)
"Who lost this?"
Wang Jianguo's face turned cold. He picked up one and examined it carefully in his palm. It was an embroidery needle that could be found everywhere, nothing special about it.
Just now, Tan Qingding suddenly felt weak all over because he stepped on a thin needle and almost died at the hands of the monster.
Who is this paper man and why is he so cruel?
However, his questioning was in vain, as no one would admit that the needle came from their own hands.
"A fine needle suddenly appeared on the ground. Everyone present and not present is a suspect."
Chen Yuan picked up all the needles and threw them into her bag, then took a photo of the monster's corpse and posted it in the group, tagging Jing Siyu and asking her to gather in the hall.
Jing Siyu: Yuanyuan, did you kill the monster?!
Chen Yuan: Well, where are you? Come to the hall first.
Jing Siyu: Okay, I'll hide under the bed in the bedroom, I'll be right there.
A few seconds later, Jing Siyu appeared in the corridor, holding a vase in her hand tremblingly.
When she saw the bloody corpse on the ground, she couldn't help but scream, then quickly covered her mouth, tiptoed to Shen Yuan and grabbed her sleeve.
"Yuanyuan, did you really kill the monster? Will it suddenly come back to life or something?"
Jing Siyu has read too many horror novels and always feels that things are not that simple.
"Probably not." Chen Yuan shook his head and blinked at Jing Siyu.
The phone in her palm lit up, displaying the WeChat group chat interface.
Butler: [Congratulations, you successfully found the monster's weakness and killed it.]
Before Jing Siyu could even breathe a sigh of relief, another message came in.
[Due to the monster's death, a hidden quest has been triggered! The next quest is located in Anhe Castle. This time, the task is simple: simply survive three days in the castle. Be careful, various NPCs will appear in Anhe Castle. The executioner will not harm you. No noise can be made in the bedroom after 10:00 PM, red pajamas are not allowed to sleep, and mirrors cannot be placed facing the bed. The paper figures among you have not yet been caught, so remember to protect yourself~]
"What? Another mission, and another NPC? Woohoo, are you going to let me live?"
Jing Siyu had a bitter expression on her face, and she almost hung on Chen Yuan, mumbling and acting coquettishly.
Afraid that she would crush the little bat in her pocket, Shen Yuan pulled her hand away from her neck, nodded his chin, and pointed in the direction of Tan Qing.
"He's injured. Do you have any medicine?"
Only then did Jing Siyu see Tan Qing covered in blood in the corner, and her face immediately turned extremely pale.
"Is he...is he okay?"
"I'm still alive now, but if I don't take medicine, I'm afraid I'll die."
Shen Yuan said as if hinting at something.
"Then I'll go get the medicine!"
Jing Siyu said this and rushed to her bedroom.
Wang Jianguo looked at this scene, a hint of deep meaning flashed across his eyes.
"The medicine you just brought for Tingting hasn't been used up yet. Why did you deliberately send her away to get the medicine? Is there something you want to tell us?"
Chen Yuan chuckled and met Wang Jianguo's gaze and said
"What do you think I was going to say? I just saw that she was worried about her lover, so I tried to find something for her to do."
Wang Jianguo clearly didn't believe it: "Really?"
Shen Yuan spread his hands and shrugged: "Of course, you have time to question me, you should go see Wang Ting. Although the wound has been sutured, it is easy to get a high fever due to the wound infection."
Wang Jianguo's expression suddenly changed.
Why didn't he think of this?
Looking at Wang Jianguo's hurriedly leaving back, the smile on Shen Yuan's lips gradually faded.
Tan Che lifted up the unconscious Tan Qing and walked to Shen Yuan. He glanced at her and asked coldly:
"How do you know the monster's weak point is its eyes?"
Another person came to question us.
Shen Yuan sighed helplessly in his heart: "I guessed, do you believe it?"
Tan Che scoffed lightly, "Are you trying to fool me? You just happened to guess its weakness was its eyes at the critical moment, and just happened to save my brother from the brink of death?"
Shen Yuan folded his arms and chuckled, with a cold look on his lips.
"You know I saved your brother, why are you still talking to me in this tone?"
Tan Che was scolded and his face turned red. He was about to refute, but the person lying on him suddenly moved.
"elder brother?"
Due to excessive blood loss, Tan Qing's face turned terribly pale and he coughed up blood foam.
"Brother, are you okay?!"
Tan Qing waved his hands weakly and forced himself to get off Tan Che, but his body still shook uncontrollably when he stood up.
"My brother was just worried when he saw me injured. Don't mind it."
Seeing his brother eager to explain in front of Shen Yuan, Tan Che snorted in annoyance and turned his head to the side.
It's annoying to watch.
"It's okay, I don't take it to heart."
How could Shen Yuan really care about Tan Che?
Tan Qingan smiled and said, "That's good."
After a pause, he continued, "I don't know how you knew the monster's weakness was in its eyes, but since you were able to survive in the castle, you must have something extraordinary. Don't reveal your cards to others, even to that girl who always acts like she depends on you."
girl?
Chen Yuan suddenly guessed that he was talking about Jing Siyu.
"I didn't have any hidden cards. Maybe it was because I'd read too many novels. When I saw the bloodshot in the monster's eyes, I guessed that was its weak spot. The situation was critical at the time, so I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't expect my guess to be right."
Tan Qing curled his pale lips: "Well, okay."
"Alright, brother, you better go apply medicine to your wound, or it will get infected and you'll be useless."
Tan Che didn't want his brother to have too much involvement with the woman in front of him. He always felt that she had a secret.
If you think about it carefully, every time danger appeared, this woman named Chen Yuan was unharmed.
Is it simply because she's smart and skilled? Not necessarily.
However, it is hard to say whether she is a paper man or not. On the one hand, she throws needles to plot against his brother, and on the other hand, she does not hesitate to expose the monster's weakness to save his brother. These two behaviors are too contradictory.
Seeing that everyone had left, Chen Yuan sighed softly.
It was naturally Wangzai who told her that the monster's weakness was its eyes. The situation was too urgent at the time, and she didn't want to see Tan Qing die in the monster's mouth, so she said it without thinking, which now aroused the suspicion of several people.
Fortunately, the voting process has ended, so she is not worried that they will suddenly collude and vote her out.
As for the paper man...she had a rough idea of who it was.
There was a sudden movement in his pocket, and Shen Yuan took out the little bat that was flapping its wings.
The little bat's hair was a little messy, and its mutated eyes were blood red. It stared straight at the backs of Tan Qing and Tan Che with hostility.
If such a pair of terrifying eyes were placed on any other bat, Shen Yuan would feel his hair stand on end, but the one in front of him was inexplicably cute.
Not to mention, they are quite compatible with Wangzai.
A snowball and an inkball.
"What's wrong? You keep staring at him. Do you hate him?"
