Chapter 204 The non-existent basement?
After listening to Lin Jiu's description, Todd fell into deep thought.
Lin Jiu asked: "Do you want to call other people?"
He thought, maybe the others were trapped in a dream.
If someone was behind this, Lin Jiu thought, they needed to act faster.
"I'm with you," Todd said.
It was at this time that Lin Jiu learned that Todd had actually fallen asleep, but he had woken up half an hour ago.
Sensing something was wrong, Todd briefly checked the surroundings. The magic bell didn't respond, and he himself didn't notice anything wrong. Out of concern, he didn't dare leave for too long.
Just when Todd was thinking about trying to wake someone up, Lin Jiu came out.
The two went to Ivan's room first.
At first they were worried that they wouldn't be able to wake him up, but luckily, they just shook him twice and Ivan woke up.
"What's wrong?"
When Ivan just woke up, his body reacted instinctively with alertness. When he saw that the people standing beside the bed were Lin Jiu and Todd, he instantly relaxed his body and asked in confusion.
Todd briefly explained the current situation.
Lin Jiushun asked, "Are you dreaming?"
Hearing this, Ivan looked a little confused, then shook his head.
He didn't dream and he slept very soundly.
But this actually reveals something strange.
In the dungeon world, except for Lin Jiu, no player can sleep soundly. Even when returning to reality, many players still cannot sleep well.
Realizing the problem, Ivan's face turned a little ugly.
In this situation, if a monster attacks them, they may be unable to resist.
Seeing that Ivan was not dreaming, Lin Jiu frowned, realizing that he might be the only one dreaming.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Todd, "I'll go check out the utility room on the first floor."
"No!" Todd shouted in a low voice, "We don't know what the situation is right now. It's too dangerous to act alone!"
Todd knew that Lin Jiu was going to see if there was a basement in the utility room on the first floor.
But Todd would never allow anyone to act alone.
The entire castle seemed to be in a strange state. Todd went to find the butler, but received no response and no one was in the room.
No one knows what will burst out of the darkness in the next second.
Lin Jiu knew at a glance that Todd would never allow him to act alone, so he said, "Then the two of us should act together."
Todd frowned.
"We don't have time to waste here all the time. Either I can do it alone, or someone can come and accompany me."
Hearing this, Todd looked at Lin Jiu deeply.
In fact, Lin Jiu's behavior would definitely result in a reprimand or even punishment, not to mention that it was not necessary to go to the first floor to check at this critical juncture.
If Todd insisted on vetoing, Lin Jiu would only have one choice.
Both sides are aware of this.
Lin Jiu naturally didn't want to do it, but Todd finally agreed and said that he would go and check it out with Lin Jiu in person.
The question of who to go with was not important to Lin Jiu. Seeing Todd agree, he relaxed a little.
Before going to check the utility room on the first floor, they woke Charles up.
Like Ivan, Charles slept soundly without dreaming.
After leaving the task of waking up the others to Charles and Ivan, Lin Jiu and Todd went downstairs.
The living room was also unusually dark. Logically, moonlight should have been shining through the glass.
"Could it be that we are all dreaming now?" Lin Jiu made an interesting guess.
Todd immediately denied it.
The two of them walked in silence all the way to the utility room, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings.
Todd opened the door of the utility room, but unexpectedly, a ray of light came through the crack in the door.
Seeing this, Todd and Lin Jiu were both slightly stunned.
The two looked at each other, and Todd slowly pushed open the door of the utility room.
The light came from the lamp in the utility room. Unlike the utility room in the dream, there was no carpet on the floor and no traces of formations.
Lin Jiu walked straight to the corner, and Todd saw him and followed him to move the wooden box.
Then, when they removed the last wooden box, they found that there was no entrance to the basement.
Lin Jiu paused slightly, not expecting this result.
Although it was a dream, he subconsciously felt that everything in the dream was real.
Todd also looked a little surprised. It seemed that he had already thought that there should be a basement in the castle.
"No..." Lin Jiu frowned.
Todd, who was standing by, didn't hear what he said clearly and asked subconsciously, "What?"
Lin Jiu did not answer. After putting the wooden box back to its original place, he looked around for something.
Just before Lin Jiu found what he was looking for, a scream broke the unusual silence of the castle.
Todd almost subconsciously wanted to rush out, but when he reached the door, he thought of Lin Jiu and turned back to pull the man away.
It can be seen that he was really worried about Lin Jiu being alone.
Lin Jiu felt helpless, but did not struggle.
The lights in the living room came on at some point, and the housekeeper, who had been nowhere to be seen, was now at the stairs leading to the third floor.
"Mr. Butler!"
When the butler heard Todd's voice, he stopped going up the stairs. The anxiety on his face eased a little when he saw Todd and Lin Jiu.
"Mr. Todd, Mr. Lin Jiu!"
"What happened?"
Todd ran up quickly, and they didn't stop as they rushed to the third floor.
"I don't know either, but Mr. Charles and the others are already upstairs."
When they arrived on the third floor, Eugene and the others stood at the door of Mr. and Mrs. Smith's room. When they saw Todd and Lin Jiu coming, they immediately made room for them.
"Everyone else go back first. No... you guys should form your own groups and patrol the area around the castle. Don't forget to cover the front and back yards."
Todd left one group behind and asked the others to leave.
With so many people here, it is easy to affect other people's actions.
Todd and Lin Jiu entered the room. Charles was trying to comfort Laura, who was trembling in Essen's arms, while Ivan was searching for suspicious places inside the room.
The room was very dark, so dark that you could hardly see your hand in front of you, and it was very stuffy.
Lin Jiu frowned slightly, he smelled a faint pungent smell.
Following the smell, Lin Jiu followed Todd to Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
The butler had already run to the side of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Charles saw them coming and stood up and walked aside.
"what happened?"
Seeing that Laura's emotions had not calmed down yet, Todd asked Charles in a low voice.
"Monsters!" Laura suddenly shouted at this time: "Those things appeared again!"
As if because she was too scared, Laura turned her head and burrowed into Essen's arms.
Todd frowned slightly.
The magic bell did not ring, and he did not feel any fluctuations in magic power.
In this case, if we have to draw a conclusion, it might be more reasonable to say that Laura has mental problems.
