Chapter 218 The painting changes again
The third floor is very quiet.
Anna's room has been cleaned, but it's not habitable yet.
After all, there was such a big hole in the floor-to-ceiling window that not only children but also adults would not want to live in it.
Not to mention, this room now makes people feel very insecure.
Joel's room was also very quiet. Because the door was closed, Lin Jiu didn't know whether the two little brats were still sleeping with the Smiths.
Come to think of it, I only saw Anna and Joel once today.
These two little ghosts are too mysterious.
According to the housekeeper, their meals are usually delivered directly to their rooms.
But I have never seen the housekeeper deliver food.
In addition, Lin Jiu didn't see any problem with these two kids. Now think about it, would it be dangerous to let them stay with the Smiths?
Although he thought so, Lin Jiu had no intention of checking anything.
His intuition told him that Anna and Joel were definitely not ordinary ghosts.
Lin Jiu had no intention of asking for any hints.
As for the game, if you always use cheats, the experience will be ruined, and he is so awesome.
Lin Jiu and Chrissy walked around the third floor and found nothing.
Just as the two were walking downstairs, they heard the sound of the room door closing.
It came from the second floor. The two of them just happened to walk to the stairs and subconsciously looked over.
It seems to be the room of some newcomer.
Lin Jiu and Chris just thought that someone went to the toilet.
It was already early morning, and the castle was quiet inside and outside. Only the lights in the living room provided enough light for the players.
The candles on both sides of the corridor provide very little sense of security.
Except for Reginald and another newcomer, everyone else is nowhere to be seen. They should still be on patrol.
Lin Jiu and Chris sat on the sofa and rested for a while.
Just as a few people were chatting, the sound of a door closing was heard from the second floor.
The sound wasn't loud, but except for the new player, everyone's hearing had become sharper with the enhancement of the game system, and they noticed it instantly.
Reginald looked up subconsciously when he heard the voice, but he couldn't see the corner of the second floor from this angle.
However, the positions of Christie and Lin Jiu can be seen just by looking up.
"Has anyone come out?" Reginald asked.
He had also heard the door closing before and thought someone was coming out to use the restroom.
There are separate bathrooms on all three floors.
After all, there can't be only one such large castle.
"No, I didn't see anyone." Christy said, slowly standing up.
His body tensed up as well.
The fact that they came down from the third floor before could be explained by the fact that they just happened to miss each other, but the sound of the door closing just now seemed a bit strange.
Neither Lin Jiu nor Chris saw anyone appear.
Just as the two were about to go check, Eugene and Hicks, who were patrolling on the second floor, came over from the corridor on the other side.
Hicks was the first to notice that something was wrong with Christie's expression, so he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
When asking this question, Hicks naturally tensed up.
"Did you see anyone go back to the room just now?" Christie asked instead of answering.
Eugene and Hicks, who were standing near the stairs, turned their heads subconsciously and then shook their heads.
"We heard the door close twice, but we didn't see anyone both times." Christie explained simply and clearly.
The new player was confused.
Eugene and Hicks looked at each other and prepared to take a look.
Lin Jiu stood up and wanted to go and see it together.
At this moment,
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The crisp sound of bells rang out.
Lin Jiu subconsciously looked at the magic-detecting bell on his wrist.
Judging from the light and sound, the source of the abnormal magic power was not far away from them.
Lin Jiu subconsciously looked towards the second floor. After all, some strange things happened on the second floor not long ago.
Everyone thought of the same thing, but Reginald exclaimed at this moment: "Look at this painting!"
Charles and Ivan happened to be running hurriedly from the reception room at this moment. When they heard Reginald's exclamation, they subconsciously looked at the painting.
The three people who had disappeared from the painting came back, but the scene in the painting had changed a lot.
Eugene and Hicks on the second floor didn't know what had happened to the imitation painting. They wanted to go downstairs to see, but they felt something was wrong with the second floor.
The ringing stopped at this moment, and the sound of the door opening once again diverted everyone's attention.
It's Todd.
I think the magic bell on his body also reacted.
The other two newcomers also walked out of the room one after another. Compared to Todd, who was full of energy and seemed to be still awake, the other two looked as if they were still sleepy.
Todd took one look and said nothing. Instead, he walked over and asked, "What happened?"
"The painting has changed," Hicks replied.
Upon hearing this, Todd immediately quickened his pace.
The two newcomers followed slowly, but Eugene and Hicks did not go down immediately.
The two hesitated, and Todd, who walked downstairs, noticed this at a glance.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem on the second floor?"
I have to say, Todd is indeed sharp.
Eugene had only felt this feeling from Lin Jiu.
Everyone else was watching the changing painting, so Hicks repeated what Christie had said.
Todd frowned slightly when he heard this.
He didn't hear any door closing.
Todd was a very light sleeper during the mission, and would wake up at the slightest noise. It was logical that he couldn't have missed hearing it...
After thinking for a moment, Todd said, "Then please check every room."
Eugene and Hicks had no objection, they just had this idea,
It was just that it was a bit impolite to enter someone else's room rashly, and the imitation painting had changed, so they were in a dilemma for a moment.
However, before they could take two steps, Todd called out to Eugene and Hicks.
"Forget it, I'll go with you." Todd was still a little worried.
Like the other players, the longer he stayed in the castle, the more nervous he became.
Most people are on the first floor right now. Although Eugene and Hicks's profiles show excellent grades, Todd is still worried about the newcomers.
There was indeed no problem with working in pairs, but that didn't stop Todd from feeling uneasy.
No one can guarantee when an accident will happen.
Eugene and Hicks looked at each other and nodded without refusing.
——Although they couldn’t refuse the leader.
Eugene and Hicks didn't know Todd's true strength, and they hadn't been able to observe it in their interactions so far.
But after all, he is a senior exorcist sent by the guild, so his strength is definitely up to standard.
From the currently known information, we can know that in the Exorcist Guild, Senior Exorcist is the highest level.
Working with such seniors will definitely give you a strong sense of security.
Eugene and Hicks had no reason to refuse.
