Chapter 136 The Desolate Planet Is Not Desolate
On the other side of the door, the night enveloped the entire sky. There were no stars or moon, and it was deep and dark. It was so thick that not a single light could be seen. The darkness pressed heavily above the head, making it hard to breathe.
The only bright color was the heavy snow that fell silently like goose feathers, filling every corner.
The pitch-black sky and the snow-white ground interweave into a hazy night. It is very bright near but very dark far away.
When they entered the portal, the first thing that caught their eyes was a staircase covered with thick snow, a total of ninety-nine steps. Looking up the steps, it seemed as if they reached the sky.
"wrong!"
"wrong!"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Dzeko said warily: "It wasn't like this when I came in just now."
Sevilla said in horror: "This is not the case on the barren planet B095!"
Riley looked behind him.
The portal is gone.
The road behind them turned into a pitch-black abyss, silent and deep. Even the snow did not dare to approach. It calmly swallowed up the bright colors around it. It was less than half a meter away from them, and seemed to be getting closer.
Holst released his mental power to explore the bottom of the abyss, and the answer he got was: bottomless.
Scarlett had not expected such a tense scene. She was a little panicked, but she didn't dare show it for fear of affecting others. She clenched her fists and tried hard not to show any fear.
She had never experienced this kind of situation before and couldn't do anything, so she just had to be quiet and not do anything, let them deal with it, protect herself, and not distract them.
Chiye protected Scarlett behind him as if facing a great enemy.
Ashley, Sylvia, and Brian each stood on one side, protecting Scarlett, looking vigilantly ahead to prevent anything bad from happening and hurting Scarlett.
Mo Ting glanced at Scarlett, turned his head to look up the stairs, and said, "I'll go up there and take a look."
He dodged and leaped, transforming into a black panther. He quickly leaped up the stairs, reached the highest point, paused for a moment, and then returned to everyone. He said calmly, "There's no danger up there. Let's go."
Everyone understands Mo Ting's abilities. If he says there is no danger, then there must be no danger.
Everyone climbed the stairs together.
Nearing the end of the stairs, everyone saw a man with rabbit ears and a tuxedo standing on the last step, his waist half bent, his eyes slightly raised, his gaze moving around their faces, finally landing on Scarlett.
He smiled and saluted, "Your Highness."
He extended his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully, "The room has been prepared for Your Highness. Please follow me."
Everyone looked forward in the direction of his hand, and at the end of a flat road stood a quiet and solemn medieval castle.
…
…
The rabbit-eared male is called Martin, and he is the castle's butler.
He pushed open the door of the castle.
A "creaking" sound spread in the silent night, which was depressing, decayed and dull, as if the history that had been sleeping for thousands of years was suddenly opened to everyone at this moment, and a smell of death came to their faces.
All the horror movies Scarlett had seen in the past now flooded into her mind, and they were as horrifying as possible.
She stared at the gate motionlessly, but her thoughts were jumping around, and she kept imagining that there must be a group of amazing non-human creatures waiting for them on the other side of the gate.
The fear reached its peak at this moment. The heartbeat accelerated rapidly, rushing to the chest. The hands clenched the sleeves of the people next to him, and the white finger bones kept shaking in the dark.
Mo Ting lowered his eyes, glanced at Scarlett's pale hands, raised his eyebrows, and smiled.
He didn't say anything, nor did he refuse, and let Scarlett pull him.
He just glanced at his arm, saw the torn clothes, and remembered the knife that Scarlett stabbed him in the other space.
A thought came to mind.
The healed wound reopened, even worse than before, and Yin Hong's blood gushed out.
One drop.
Two drops.
Drip on the back of Scarlett's hand.
A strong smell of blood permeated between them.
Scarlett was already concentrating on looking at the old door of the castle, and any slight movement would be magnified infinitely in her mind.
She felt the sticky wetness on the back of her hand and smelled the blood. Her mind was stuck and she lowered her head to see the bright red blood falling from above and dripping onto the back of her hand.
Her body suddenly stiffened.
Her complexion is whiter than snow.
He took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "Ghost!!!!!!!!!"
Scarlett was so frightened that she jumped three feet high. Her head felt like it had been electrocuted and her scalp was tingling.
"Scarlett." Mo Ting called her.
Scarlett's tense nerves suddenly broke, and she instinctively pounced on the people around her.
And Mo Ting is the closest to her.
She threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and her voice trembled more densely than the snow falling outside the castle, "Protect, protect, protect, Your Highness, add, add, add money, money, add, add, protection fee, okay, protect, protect Your Highness."
Scarlett's cowardly look really made Mo Ting laugh.
He didn't expect Scarlett to be so easily frightened. His original intention was to use a cruel trick to let Scarlett know that he was injured and pay more attention to himself.
But now it seems that the effect is pretty good.
He was very satisfied.
He put his arm around Scarlett, touched her head with the other hand, rubbed her hair, and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
Scarlett buried her head in his chest.
Her breasts were so plump and elastic that if she wasn't afraid, she would even want to poke them.
But now is not the time to tremble, saving your life is the most important thing!
Martin glanced at Scarlett in confusion, smiled, and pushed open the two doors completely.
…
…
The furnishings inside the castle are exquisite and gorgeous, and are 80% similar to the layout of the Herda Palace.
In the hall, a large and intricate crystal chandelier with fine workmanship hangs high. The warm light fills the hall, making it bright and cozy.
On the left side of the hall is a fireplace with a fierce fire, and from time to time there is a "crackling" sound of charcoal fire exploding, which is quite full of life.
Next to the fireplace stands a mechanical pendulum clock, which emits a dull chime every hour, echoing throughout the castle.
Although it was already dark outside the castle, the time was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
The bell has just rung.
There is an electronic desk calendar above the pendulum clock.
The date displayed is: October 28, 3225.
It was the second day of their resource competition.
So, they only stayed on the deserted planet A9 for one day?
wrong!
They spent a day in the flying ship and actually set off at 2:00 p.m. on the 28th.
So, only an hour had passed?
Scarlett frowned uncertainly.
In the distance, Martin brought the last dish and placed it on the marble dining table, saying with a smile, "Your Highness, it's time to eat."
Hearing this.
Scarlett suppressed her nervous expression, walked to the dining table and sat down at the main seat.
The eight beast husbands then sat on both sides of the dining table according to their positions.
Martin did not leave. He bent over, with a smile on his face and his eyes lowered, serving Scarlett.
Scarlett looked at the table full of dishes that were exactly the same as those at Huldah Palace. She picked up her chopsticks but didn't dare to move them because she was afraid they might be poisonous.
Holst smiled, and lavender spiritual power blossomed along the dining table.
His special ability is perception.
Perceive everything.
Martin saw the mental power, still smiled faintly and remained silent.
moment.
Holst picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of emerald shrimp, put it in his mouth, took a bite, and said, "Your Highness, the food here is good, you should like it."
This sentence gave Scarlett a reassurance.
She then dared to pick up the food with her chopsticks, took a bite, and praised, "Delicious!"
Scarlett loves to eat, especially delicious food, but at the moment, she can't eat, and always feels that this castle is a little weird.
She took two big mouthfuls of rice, picked up a piece of stir-fried meat and put it in her mouth. She asked Martin casually, "Martin, have you always lived here?"
Martin raised his eyes and smiled: "Yes, I have always lived here."
"What place is this?" Scarlett asked again.
Martin then replied: "This is the planet B095."
When Sevilla heard this, he immediately tried to retort, but Brian kicked him under the table.
He was not stupid, just naive, so he understood the purpose of the kick. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to eat in silence.
Martin's eyes were always focused on Scarlett, and he seemed not to notice the movement around him, and his smile remained just right.
Scarlett looked around the castle, touched her chin, and said puzzledly: "This place doesn't seem desolate. It's different from the desolate planet I imagined."
Martin smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is a transit station."
Scarlett was slightly surprised, "Transfer station?"
Martin explained: "Your Highness has obtained the pass ticket and can directly enter the next stage. Before that, there will be a day of rest to recover your strength."
Martin glanced at Scarlett and added with a smile, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Each team will stay at the transfer station for a day before entering the next stage. It won't delay the competition."
"but."
Martin turned to look at the mechanical pendulum clock on the side, then changed the subject, gave a strange smile, and said, "Your Highness needs to enter the next stage. You only have one chance each day. At noon, when the bell rings, the portal will appear. No one will be allowed after the time is up."
