Chapter 221 It Seems Like a Heavy Rain
About half a minute later, Charles moved.
He looked solemn, and even his breathing was cautious.
In the dim corridor, there was only him and Eugene.
But at this moment, Charles was a little suspicious that there was something spying on them in the darker corners.
Eugene seemed to have thought of this possibility as well, and he looked around carefully.
Nothing was found.
Although it was possible that the two little devils were deliberately playing a prank, Charles and Eugene still became alert.
In this way, the two of them were in fear throughout the rest of their patrol.
Although nothing happened, Charles and Eugene didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they returned to the living room and saw the others.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Hicks and Christie were the first to finish their patrol. Seeing that Charles and Eugene looked unhappy, they asked in unison.
Charles sat down and explained what had just happened.
After he finished speaking, he noticed that the expressions of the two people sitting opposite him were a little strange.
"Um...well, we didn't hear the door close," Hicks explained.
It's understandable that Reginald and the new player on the first floor didn't hear it, but Christie and Hicks on the second floor shouldn't have missed it.
Charles and Eugene were stunned when they heard Hicks' words.
A chill ran down their spines again, and Charles and Eugene fell silent.
Bad news: They encountered a strange incident.
The good news: no injuries, just a little frightened.
"Could it be that they were responsible for the previous commotion?" Christie frowned and said.
Reginald nodded: "Possibly."
The difference is that this time, a human figure was seen.
At this time, Lin Jiu and Ivan walked out from the utility room. Seeing that everyone was there, they casually asked if there were any new discoveries.
So Charles repeated what he had just said.
To be honest, they cared more about that "it" than what the door slammed.
Lin Jiu touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "It's also possible that the sound of the door closing at the beginning was caused by [it]."
After all, there was no one in sight.
After hearing this, everyone felt that this statement seemed more reasonable.
Lin Jiu didn't care much about the answer. He looked around and didn't feel anything invisible to the naked eye. He asked for a hint and found nothing nearby.
It's very quiet tonight.
Lin Jiu didn't look at it anymore, strode to the sofa and sat down.
While the players were resting, in a corner that no one paid attention to, a slightly special abyss worm emerged from nowhere.
Nothing else happened in the castle until Todd got up and woke up the other two new players to go shopping.
Lin Jiu keenly noticed that the light provided by the night light handed to Todd by the butler was obviously weaker.
He frowned slightly and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"How about taking another person?" Lin Jiu suggested.
Todd was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry."
Although the night light given by the housekeeper looked like it was about to go out, Todd had a spare wick with him.
At the same time, Todd was also hinting at his companions hiding in the dark.
Looking at Todd, whose eyes assured him, Lin Jiu hesitated to speak.
To be honest, compared to Todd, Lin Jiu was more worried about the two newcomers who were already showing fear.
Worried that they would hold back and cause unnecessary trouble for Todd.
Todd seemed to guess what Lin Jiu was thinking and patted him on the shoulder before leaving.
Lin Jiu stood in front of the castle and watched the three people leave.
Hope it goes well.
......
At dawn, it was gloomy outside and it seemed like it was going to rain. Dark clouds could be seen slowly drifting towards us in the distance.
It was a rare occasion that Mr. and Mrs. Smith did not return to their room immediately after dinner.
They sat in the living room, their pale skin and thin bodies obviously showing malnutrition. Just one glance would make people think that this couple was very weird.
It looks like it won't last much longer.
The players didn't want to get close to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, nor did they want to be talked to, so they tacitly returned to their rooms.
But Lin Jiu stayed.
But he was not on the first floor, but on the balcony on the second floor.
In the distance, a faint flash of lightning appeared in the dark clouds, and Lin Jiu frowned slightly.
At this time, Laura, who was held in Essen's arms, suddenly started coughing violently. Lin Jiu looked over and saw Laura covering her mouth, bending over and coughing painfully, as if she wanted to cough out her lungs.
Lin Jiu frowned, but still walked down quickly.
Seeing Lin Jiu coming down, Essen also looked at him for help.
If it were before, Essen might have hesitated because of Lin Jiu's young appearance, but after the experience that day, he now has great confidence in Lin Jiu's abilities.
"gentlemen....."
Essen's honorific didn't make Lin Jiu pause. As the distance shortened, he could clearly smell the stench of decay on the two men. This phenomenon was just as Todd said, two vampires possessed the two corpses.
If the hint had not told Lin Jiu that the two people in front of him were actually vampires with unbalanced bloodlines, he would really have thought so.
However...the smell of corpse did make Lin Jiu a little concerned.
Are these two people really unaware of the changes in themselves?
Lin Jiu glanced at Eisen, who looked anxious.
I definitely know, but I have to pretend not to know.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu stood up and said, "I'm just weak, so I should go back to my room and rest."
Laura had stopped coughing. The violent coughing just now caused a hint of redness to appear on her face, but it quickly faded away, revealing a pale face like a dead person.
When Eisen heard that it wasn't caused by a monster, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked at Laura with heartache, helped her up, and walked upstairs slowly.
From this perspective, they seem to be a loving couple.
I don't know if this is just a character setting for others to see or what...
Essen and Laura left, leaving Lin Jiu alone in the living room.
The foul smell in the air did not disappear with the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Lin Jiu frowned slightly and waved his hand twice in front of him.
The environment became a little humid and stuffy, which made the pungent smell at the tip of the nose even more unpleasant.
Lin Jiu also prepared to go back to his room to rest for a while.
“BOOM!!”
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder.
Lin Jiu subconsciously looked outside. The dark clouds were still some distance away from the castle, but it felt like the town was already covered by dark clouds.
It seems that a heavy rain is coming.
Lin Jiu was a little worried about Todd.
Could it be that those three people will never come back after they leave?
Lin Jiu had a bad suspicion in his heart.
But Mayor Otto, who is suspected to be a key figure in the [main storyline of the dungeon], has not yet appeared. Even if something happens to Todd, he should only be injured.
