Chapter 31: Strange Stories about the Princess Castle Rules (11) He Really Came...
In the castle garden, a few landscape ground lights were on, illuminating the trees and shrubs from below, and dark shadows accumulated under the leaves.
Wei Wei, Bai Jie, and He Lun formed a triangle and walked in front, while the black clay puppets followed behind them in a swaying manner. When illuminated by the ground lights, their calves seemed to be immersed in a glowing river, floating as they walked.
Like a ghost floating.
Yu Le glanced at his watch. It was 50 minutes before bedtime. He stood at the castle gate, hesitating and not daring to move forward.
All the lights in the room lit up at the same time, and the brightness increased rapidly. The whole hall was filled with dazzling white light, which was so strong that it made people cry. Yu Le quickly covered his eyes.
The voice of Bai Jie's chanting came from afar: "Praise our Lord, who is above all things!"
He recited once, and the black clay puppet behind him repeated it. Their voices were muddy, low, and loud, making people's chests buzz.
"Praise be to the Lord, who is above all things!"
"Look at that dim light, the lake is vast!"
The dazzling white light disappeared in an instant, and even the two street lights next to the gate went out, and darkness instantly enveloped Yule.
What's going on with the lights in the castle tonight? It flickers on and off! Yu Le wondered. At this moment, the prayer ended, and silence and darkness descended.
Among the players, no one can control the electric current. Could it be that the gods are really at work? Yu Le hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind to follow Wei Wei and the others.

In the bedroom, Gao Mengtang looked out the window. Behind him, a switch panel was pried open, and Gao Geng inserted his metal left hand into the circuit.
"Okay, brother, let's restore the lights to normal brightness." Gao Mengtang said.
Gao Geng turned his arm and the light returned to normal. He pulled out his left arm, and his five metal fingers were somewhat charred by the electric shock.
Outside the window, Yu Le was frightened by the flickering light trick. He left the castle and followed the team from a distance.
The blueberry tree jumped around at Gao Mengtang's feet, looking like it wanted a chance to show off. Gao Mengtang coaxed it softly, "Don't worry, it will be your turn soon."
The Hundred-Eyed Wizard transformed into human form, his skin cracked into flesh-pink cracks all over his body, and his eyeballs bulged out.
"Master." The Hundred-Eyed Wizard was not very good at speaking yet. He just repeated one word over and over again, "Master."
An eyeball flew out of his socket, glowing in the dimness.

Yu Le followed them to the garden and decided to find out what those people were doing in the middle of the night. But he saw...
The black mud puppet is carrying garbage?
Yule:……?
What is this operation? Observe it again.
The black mud puppets were in an orderly manner, picking up the garbage one by one, carrying it, and sending it to the roller coaster of [Speedy Shark]. Then the entertainment project started.
The roller coaster started, the track broke, and the shark car carrying the garbage flew into the sky and disappeared.
After half a minute of interruption, a brand new, empty roller coaster appeared.
Yule: That's it? Not sleeping to volunteer in the dungeon?
He thought there was something wrong with his memory, so he took out the magic letter and confirmed the rules again.
[Rule 2] The [Speedy Shark] ride in this park has been in disrepair for a long time. Accidents may occur when riding it. It is not recommended to play
【Rule 4】If you see a garbage dump, please stay away from it...
Why are people like Wei Wei testing the edge of breaking the rules?
Yu Le was puzzled. He observed silently for two minutes and found that this group of black mud puppets were just carrying garbage.
Wei Wei, Bai Jie and He Lun stood in a triangle, facing each other, with their eyes closed and muttering to themselves.
Listen carefully, they are talking:
"Praise the ancient gods, live towards death."
"Look at that dim light, the lake is vast."
"Praise be to our Lord, who is above all things."
…
In the middle, there was a spell whose meaning was hard to discern and whose pronunciation was ancient and strange. The three people muttered to each other as if they were possessed by a poison. No one looked at Yu Le, but closed their eyes and prayed.
Yu Le was completely confused. He looked at the black clay puppet beside him that was carrying garbage. It was busy and silent in carrying the garbage.
Are they... worshipping an ancient god? Using garbage?
Are the revelers no longer using their blood and brains to paint, but are they switching to recycling?
But soon, Yu Le's expression became serious. How could the garbage in the copy be just garbage? The garbage must have its own particularity and importance. Otherwise, why would Rule 4 specifically mention garbage?
Yu Le also thought of the fact that Wei Wei, Bai Jie and He Lun all ate vegetarian food in the restaurant.
Bai Jie was a young man who was deeply "poisoned" by the cult, so it was normal for him to go crazy occasionally. He Lun was a loyal follower, so it was understandable that he would imitate his idol occasionally.
Wei Wei, on the other hand, is a pragmatist who only cares about money and cannot tolerate any half-god. The two of them were colleagues in Ghost Bamboo, and Yu Le was jealous of Wei Wei and always secretly observed him. Over time, he got to know Wei Wei very well.
"If the gods cannot pay me, then he is no better than a stupid boss." This is Wei Wei's famous saying.
One day, Wei Wei began to believe in God. There was only one possibility: God gave Wei Wei direct and tangible benefits!
It could be a large sum of money, a treasure or a secret method, or a rare opportunity. Otherwise, even if Wei Wei lay down and smoked all day, he would not say a single prayer.
Yu Le stared at the black clay puppet, then looked at his feet, where there was a pile of discarded steel plates and broken glass bottles.
Can you gain benefits from God by moving garbage?
After hesitating for a few seconds, he slowly squatted down and picked up a burnt chip.
The system didn't tell him that he had obtained the key item, so what should he do? Yu Le looked around in confusion.
The black clay puppet is carrying garbage into the shark roller coaster and securing it with guardrails and straps.
Yu Le held the garbage, confused for a few seconds, and followed the black clay puppet to put the garbage into the roller coaster. Start.
The Shark Car flew into the sky, and Yule craned his neck to watch, not understanding what he was doing.
"That's not right! Why should I carry garbage!" Yu Le woke up as if from a dream.
The three people who were pretending to recite the prayer but secretly observing Yu Le's movements were startled when they heard this. Did Yu Le find something wrong?
Yu Le pounded his fist and said, "The eunuch uses his puppet to carry the garbage, so I should use my puppet to carry the garbage too!"
Wei Wei: ...
In between reciting "Praise the Ancient Gods", he muttered softly, "Yu Le, you are dead."
Yu Le took out a trident and waved it, and water appeared out of thin air. He waved the trident like throwing a spindle, and the water flowed like silk thread, quickly weaving into fish-man puppets.
Although both Yu Le and Wei Wei have the skill tree of [Sewing Expertise], Wei Wei’s puppet weaving speed is slower, but the puppets are more functional. Yu Le’s puppets have weaker individual capabilities, but have an absolute advantage in numbers.
To carry garbage, you only need hands. Murloc puppets are more efficient.
Large water masses appeared one after another, and the fish-man puppets fell down with a plop. They were like locusts on the sea floor, leaving no garbage behind wherever they passed.
The fish-man puppets even snatch garbage from the black mud men.
As for Yu Le, he followed the example of Wei Wei and the other two, standing in place with his eyes closed, chanting "Praise the Ancient God" and other words, expecting a reward to fall on his head with a "clang".
10 minutes later, nothing happened.
Yu Le was confused and looked at the three people not far away.
Do we need three people to gather together and stand in a triangle to form a formation to summon the ancient gods?
Yu Le wove two more advanced and perfect puppets to stand with him. The two puppets formed a perfect equilateral triangle.
Well, that should be about right. Yu Le followed suit and chanted the spell.
Hundreds of puppets were dispatched together, and in less than half an hour, all the garbage in the park was swept away. The fish-man puppet also swept up the fallen leaves.
The last shark truck loaded with garbage left, and the puppets returned to their respective masters.
After all the garbage was cleared, Wei Wei and the other two walked back to the castle like sleepwalkers. Yu Le looked around for a while, and only he and his fishman puppet were left, shivering in the cold wind.
He had no choice but to follow him back.
As soon as he entered the castle, he felt a chill down his spine. In the dark corner, a blood-red eye was staring at him!
Originally, one eye was not enough to scare Yu Le. He had been through many battles and had seen all kinds of strange things in the dungeon. But tonight was too weird, Yu Le's mentality was unstable, and weaving puppets consumed some of his mental energy.
When he suddenly saw this eye, Yu Le broke out in a cold sweat and almost screamed.
Another eye opened vertically, staring at Yu Le silently.
Yu Le was so frightened that he dared not move.
Suddenly, the lights in the castle flickered on and off. At the moment the lights came on, Yu Le saw hundreds of eyeballs floating in the air, each eye staring straight at him.
"Ah! Um." Yu Le quickly covered his mouth. Loud noises were not allowed in the castle.
His eyeballs lit up one after another, and Yu Le had already lost his mind. At this moment, Wei Wei's sharp and thin voice, like a cool breeze, blew on the back of his neck: "The Feasterer, He is coming to see you..."
The blood in Yu Le's body began to cool down, and an electric current ran from the top of his head to his heels. He was already scared out of his wits, and he crawled up the stairs. He turned back subconsciously, and saw hundreds of eyeballs following him!
"I've already offered you garbage!" Yu Le cried in a crying voice, "Who are you? Don't chase me! I've already offered you garbage!"
His eyes really stopped, and Yu Le grasped hope and waved his trident: "I, I have worshiped you. Praise the ancient gods, praise my Lord..."
Yu Le didn’t remember what the second half of the sentence was.
Hundreds of eyes were like a swarm of suspended insects, dispersing and gathering. In an instant, they disappeared. Yu Le "escaped death" and ran away, falling twice along the way, and crawled back to the bedroom using all four limbs.
After closing the door, he sat down on the carpet with his back against the door, breathing rapidly.
Are those eyeballs the revelers? He was almost killed by the revelers.
“If I hadn’t participated in the sacrificial ceremony, would I still be alive… Those eyeballs would have killed me…” Yu Le muttered to himself in a daze, “The Reveler, He has really arrived…”
In another bedroom, four people were laughing. He Lun was so happy that he pounded the floor, the Hundred-Eyed Wizard was not very good at laughing, so he just made a "hehe" sound, and even Gao Geng had a faint smile on his face.
