Chapter 112
These sounds came near and far, forward and backward. Apparently, it was because they tried to run out of the manor without getting the gem. The wasteland had been blessed with a special effect similar to spatial confusion by the text prompts.
Several people were silent, and their eyes repeatedly glanced at Johnny more or less.
Johnny squatted tremblingly in this uncomfortable atmosphere for a while, and finally forced a smile and asked silently: What are you looking at me for?
Of course it was because the four of them were familiar with and trusted each other, and Johnny was the only outsider.
The weather is so cold now, and the monsters are stirring up trouble outside. Who knows if he will suddenly lose his mind and do something stupid like selling out his teammates for fame?
Yu Leng moved his lips: Nothing, just taking a look.
Fortunately, Johnny remained rational. Although the monsters were wandering in the grass, constantly saying things like "allow one person to survive" and "tell us where you are and we will be friends", Johnny showed no signs of believing these nonsense.
This is for the best, otherwise they can only knock Johnny out or abandon him.
The reason why they didn't give up on Johnny immediately was that if he was left behind in this environment, he would be dead. There was no difficult-to-reconcile conflict between them, so there was no need to do so.
Secondly, the text prompts that the adventure is based on Johnny from beginning to end, so no one knows what will happen if Johnny dies. There are less than two days left, so there is no need to make things complicated. If he can survive, let him survive as much as possible.
Coleman took the initiative to half stand up, opened his coat, and pretended that he wanted to help others shelter from the rain.
Johnny mouthed "I'm so sorry" and quickly got into Coleman's arms.
Several people huddled together like chicks.
Fortunately, by noon, the heavy rain began to gradually stop, and soon the dark clouds dissipated and the sun came out.
The wasteland had become quiet since who knows when. The monsters that had been walking around and calling them before were probably afraid of the sun and had stopped talking. Maybe they had left.
The temperature had risen compared to before, and the sun was a little warm on their bodies. But they were all soaked by the rain, and they couldn't stay in this wasteland any longer.
Kouman picked up Lu Jiamu so that he could stand taller and see farther.
There were endless wild grass in front and behind. They went much deeper into the wasteland than they actually walked in, but they could still see the castle in the distance.
After confirming the direction of the castle, they set off immediately.
After walking in a fixed direction for more than half an hour, Kouman lifted Lu Jiamu up again to confirm the direction.
When he came down, everyone else looked at him expectantly: "How was it?"
There was still no obvious emotion on Lu Jiamu's face, no disappointment or fear. He just shook his head: "We are not getting close to the castle at all."
That means they were trapped where they were, and the more than half an hour of walking was in vain, as they were just going around in circles.
Although everyone had expected this result, there was some disappointment on the faces of several people.
Yu Leng asked: "Why?"
With their sense of direction, it can be basically ruled out that they are walking in circles unconsciously. It must be that the lost effect bonus of the text prompt has not yet ended.
Johnny was soaking wet, shivering and sneezing as he hugged his arms.
The rain stopped and the sun came out again, but it was not enough to dry the moisture off their bodies. The whole area was very muddy, the grass was very wet, and there was no way to light a fire to dry their clothes. They might catch a cold and fever soon.
Even though the wasteland seems relatively safe now, if they get lost and can't get out, they will freeze to death when night falls.
Although they knew that it was the text prompt that was hindering them, they had no choice but to try to get out. Kou Man lifted Lu Jiamu up so that he could always look at the castle in the distance, and then the group found the right direction and continued to set off.
Being carried by Kouman, Lu Jiamu saw that they were not just standing still. As they moved forward, they were indeed getting closer and closer to the castle.
But they had not walked for long before the entire castle suddenly moved a large part to the side from its original position, and suddenly seemed to become much farther away.
No, it was not the castle that moved, but they were walking and walking, and when they reached a certain point, they were suddenly transported to another place in the grassland.
Lu Jiamu withdrew his gaze and looked at the others, but they seemed to be unaware of the sudden change and were still walking forward very naturally.
He did not immediately inform others of this, nor did he rush to correct their direction, but let them continue to move forward.
After walking for only a few minutes, the ancient castle in the distance suddenly disappeared again.
Lu Jiamu glanced sideways and found that the ancient castle had appeared behind them.
This time, not only were they moved, but their direction was also changed. However, the others seemed to be unaware of this and continued to walk in the direction they thought was ahead.
This time they didn't walk for long, and in Lu Jiamu's sight the castle changed its position again.
Every time the position of the castle changes, it is not the castle that is moving, but they are jumping around randomly in this chaotic space.
Lu Jiamu originally tried to find the pattern of this jump, but after observing it several times, he found that both the spacing and the distance seemed to be random.
After walking for more than half an hour, he asked, "Did you notice anything unusual just now?"
Several people stopped.
What he said must mean that there was a problem with the progress again.
In fact, when Lu Jiamu suddenly turned his head several times just now, they already knew what was going on.
Yu Leng asked: "Which is the correct direction now?"
Lu Jiamu stretched out his hand and pointed to the side. The group immediately moved in the new correct direction.
They had been walking for only a short while when the location of the castle changed again.
This time, when Lu Jiamu saw this change, he immediately informed others, checked the direction and set off again.
However, the spatial anomaly in the wasteland did not improve. Constantly correcting the direction was just a circle in their perspective. In the end, they were still far away from the castle.
After walking for such a long time, everyone was very tired and decided to stop and rest.
Several people took off their wet clothes, wrung out the water, shook them, and tried to find drier weeds to hang their clothes on and let the sun dry them.
Johnny didn't dare to stay too far away from the others, fearing that he would be suddenly moved a few steps away and completely separated from the others.
He quickly found a suitable place and just as he threw up his clothes, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a person in maid clothes lying in the gap between the weeds.
As he saw more clearly, Johnny subconsciously thought he had bumped into a monster. He held his breath and immediately ran back, bumping into Yu Leng who had just walked out of the haystack nearby. The two of them fell together and rolled in the mud.
Yu Leng was about to lose his temper, but after taking a closer look at Johnny, he sensed his fear and knew what he had just seen, so he suppressed his temper.
Johnny stood up and said, "Over there, lies a monster!"
Coleman was the first to push aside the weeds and walked towards the direction where the monster was. Sure enough, he saw a figure in a maid outfit lying on the ground.
But if you look closely, you can see that it is shrunken, as if it has been sucked dry. The maid outfit is too big for it and is just for show.
There were no flowers or signs of plants growing on its head or body.
Several people then talked about what happened last night again, and they all agreed that it was because the dummy had been lost and abandoned.
However, although this is not a real monster, it is still uncomfortable to stay around it. After studying it carefully, Coleman picked up the mummy and threw it away.
Just as they threw the body out, a rustling sound was heard again in the wasteland, and it was very close to them.
Several people didn't know what was making the sound, so they immediately fell silent. The rustling sound coming from across the grass soon stopped as well.
After a while, a female voice came from the other side, which seemed to be more frightened than them: "Dear, listen, what is that sound?"
A little girl's voice quickly answered: "Mom, that's the sound of a body hitting the ground."
The girl's owner obviously didn't believe it and was surprised: "Baby, don't lie."
Then a deep male voice came out: "With so much grass, there are bound to be some small animals. Don't be startled."
It turned out that the family who went out shopping in the morning had returned.
"We really need to weed these grasses, otherwise we'll get lost walking around in here." The man started complaining again, "I told you to ask someone to bring the stuff in today, but you insisted on rushing to do it yourself. Now look what happened. How much of our time have you wasted?"
It turned out that their family was also lost in the wasteland?
Several people immediately squatted down again and hid in the grass.
Soon they saw the new male owner of the family pushing aside the weeds on both sides and appearing in their sight.
He was carrying a huge shopping bag in one hand, holding a little boy with the other, and carrying a little girl on his shoulders.
The hostess followed behind with empty hands, looking somewhat embarrassed.
But this time, it was not just the four of them who came back. There were several other people following them, each carrying several shopping bags. It was not known whether they were the people the family hired to help carry the bags, or the nannies they mentioned yesterday.
The family walked across the grass, unaware that someone was hiding in the shadows.
Several people here had the same idea in an instant: the text prompt was punishing them for wanting to run away without getting anything, which led to them being unable to leave the manor and unable to return to the manor, and they were lost in this wasteland, but the text prompt would not necessarily punish this family.
Seeing that they had brought back so many things, at least they had successfully walked out of the manor when they left in the morning. Maybe if I followed them, I could find the way back.
Several people here made a prompt decision and followed the family closely.
But even if you didn't see them directly, it would be hard not to be noticed with five people following you so closely behind you.
The person walking at the back carrying the shopping bag soon noticed that the footsteps seemed to increase, and it sounded like something was following them.
He kept looking back and occasionally saw the weeds behind him swaying gently, but he was not sure if he was seeing things. However, the overlapping sound of footsteps was always very obvious.
The last person felt his scalp tingling and was very scared. He was worried that something would rush out from the large patch of weeds behind him and take him away, so he did not dare to stop to take a closer look.
He immediately quickened his pace and tried to squeeze past the person in front of him.
The man in front looked at him with disdain: "Why are you pushing?"
But he squeezed through without saying a word and called out to the man walking in front: "Sir, I think something is following us."
The people in front stopped immediately when they heard this.
But as they stopped, the repetitive footsteps in the weeds behind them, which had appeared at some point in time, also stopped.
The man did not scold him immediately. Instead, he took the little girl off his back and handed her to the woman. Then he handed the shopping bag and the little boy he was holding to her. He then arranged for another person to walk in front to lead the way, and then he turned sideways to signal others to continue walking.
The man soon came to the end of the team and heard the scattered footsteps following closely behind them.
After the man walked for a while, he uttered a short voice: "Stop."
The people in front soon stopped and looked back at him.
The sporadic footsteps behind them also stopped immediately.
The host listened carefully for a moment, then waved his hand again: "Keep going."
The team resumed its march, and after a second or two, footsteps were heard from behind.
The man called out suspiciously, "Stop."
"…Keep going."
The man tried it several times again, and as expected, every time they started walking, footsteps would be heard behind them, and when they stopped, the footsteps behind them would also stop, with only a time difference of one or two seconds.
It really looked like someone was following them, moving when they moved and stopping when they stopped.
The man stretched out his hand slowly to his waist, turned around and walked back a little bit with light steps, then suddenly pushed aside the weeds.
Behind the weeds there are still weeds, and there is no one.
The man had already pulled out his gun and quickly walked around in a small circle in the wasteland. The sound of his footsteps spread out in layers in the wasteland, but no one was seen.
He walked back to the team suspiciously and patted the shoulder of the man who was walking at the end. "It should be an echo. Don't worry too much. But it's a good habit to stay alert."
The man had already walked around the area and didn't find any danger, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued to move forward.
This time the surroundings were completely silent. After a while, they could hear rustling footsteps behind them again. However, no one paid much attention to them. They just walked forward silently, treating it as an echo.
The five people following behind them tried their best to calm their breathing and continued to follow closely.
Just now, the group of people in front started to walk and stop, and several people realized that they were discovered by them, but they still continued to follow in fear.
When the man turned around and started running, the five of them also started running in circles in front of him. Although their footsteps were loud, they were not noticed by him because of the lush weeds.
While they were running, they were unfortunately sent to other places due to the disordered space.
Fortunately, the place they were delivered to was not too far away, and the man of the family circled the wasteland twice before allowing them to run back and follow the team.
What if it is discovered? If it is not seen, it does not exist.
The family also lost their way in the wasteland as they walked, but their level of getting lost was not the same as that of Lu Jiamu and the others.
The man started complaining again that he should have asked someone to deliver the goods to his door, and now a lot of time was wasted. The hostess said that he should go to see the things he bought in person.
The text prompt appears after the family gets lost: [You are following closely behind the owner of the ground part of Vincennes Castle, trying to walk out of the grass
Number of identifications: 51
Based on the principle of confidentiality, the new owner and his family will not discover the truth that they have repeatedly lost their way, and you are following too closely, so you will successfully follow them out of the grassland]
The confidentiality principle of the world rule book should be what is written at the very beginning. It has the obligation to hide the real existence of ghosts from the uninformed people.
This family didn't know that there was something strange about the manor, and the rule book couldn't proactively make them realize that something was wrong.
The five people followed the family in front, and sure enough, there were no more strange jumping incidents in the area.
The family picked up the child and showed him where the castle was, and they found their way back. After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the edge of the wasteland.
Although the five people behind were cold and hungry, they did not follow the family immediately after they walked out of the wasteland. Instead, they carefully stayed within the boundary of the wasteland.
Only when they saw the family enter the castle with their own eyes did they run out from the wasteland like thieves and run towards the castle.
After entering the castle, the new hostess happily took out her mobile phone and sent a message to the middleman: We have deposited the first payment into the designated account. When will the follow-up procedures be carried out?
Although the last message she sent to Mr. John had not received a reply, it was probably because the person read it but did not reply.
But after this message was sent, the other party seemed to be waiting next to the phone, and responded almost at the moment the hostess's message was successfully sent:
Soon? The hostess got such a vague answer, so she had to ask again: When is convenient?
The other side replied immediately:
In the afternoon
Today
The woman looked at the three intermittent messages and did not ask any further questions. She called the broadband company again to install broadband.
The operator politely introduced the broadband packages to her and asked her to choose. After she made her choice, she asked about her residential address.
The woman looked through the contract and gave the exact address based on the information on it.
Who knew that the operator on the other end suddenly fell silent after hearing this address. After a while of silence, he asked, "Is this your exact address?"
The woman was confused: "Yes. What's the problem?"
The operator on the other end didn't say anything else and hung up the phone.
The woman felt confused when she heard the busy tone on the phone, then turned back to look at her husband: "Honey, she hung up on me."
The man put away his stuff and walked over: "Who?"
“Broadband company.”
"What?"
The woman replied in confusion: "We had a good discussion before. I had already chosen the package. I didn't say anything. I just told her our address, and she hung up on me."
The man said nonchalantly: "Maybe this place is not within the coverage area of their company. Their company is not good enough, so we can just change to another one."
"Even if I'm out of coverage, there's no need to hang up on me... and ask if this is my address..."
The woman was mumbling to herself when she saw the middleman, Mr. John, jumping up on her phone screen. Another message popped up: We provide free broadband installation, □□
She had just been hung up by the broadband company, and the middleman sent her this message right after. Isn't it too timely? Is this a prediction?
The woman was doubtful and asked immediately: Haha, how do you know we want broadband?
It seemed as if he had been waiting by the phone, waiting for her message. He replied in a second, too sincere to even tell a lie: I heard
But the woman took his truth as a joke: Haha, you are really humorous. When will you come?
tomorrow
The woman's brows gradually frowned. She felt a little uncomfortable and called her husband again to show him John's strange chat history.
"He might be joking." The man's brows gradually frowned, and he began to feel a little uncomfortable. "Or maybe he's telling the truth. He can really hear it."
The two men immediately asked the others to draw all the curtains and turn off all the lights in the room to create a dark environment. Then everyone used flashlights to search inch by inch, focusing on searching the bedroom, toilet, etc.
If there is a surveillance camera installed in the room, it will be easier to find it this way.
I searched two or three times, but found nothing.
They had no choice but to give up. The man said, "It should be a joke."
But the phrase "I heard it" is still very annoying. How could a normal person suddenly say such a sentence when they are not very familiar with it and without any warning?
The man could only promise that he would ask someone to look more carefully around the corners and told her not to worry.
This matter came to a temporary end. The hostess called all the newcomers together, distributed the keys to various parts of the castle to them, and then assigned them future tasks.
After a brief training, they handed the newly purchased herbicide to a middle-aged man and asked him to look around for other tools that could be used and try to deal with the weeds outside.
Others were doing some cleaning and resettlement work in the castle.
The previous owner of this manor was also a hobby of growing flowers, so he did not lack farm tools.
The middle-aged man took the herbicide and went out obediently. He searched in the utility room of the castle for a long time and finally found a spray box with great joy.
He soon noticed that there was a clear artificial lake next to the manor, so he trotted over with his medicine box.
Rich people are different. There is water everywhere, which saves him the trouble of carrying such a heavy box of water around. It is really thoughtful. He really likes his job here.
The middle-aged man happily squatted by the lake and began to fetch water, then carefully and rigorously mixed the herbicide according to the proportion.
Shadows began to appear at the bottom of the clear water. The middle-aged man initially thought they were shadows of trees or grass, but when he looked closely he realized that there were fish in the water that he had never seen before, and they were so dim and unclear underwater that he could not see them clearly.
But the fish were swimming towards him.
The fish here are not afraid of people and are so proactive. The previous owners must have spent a lot of time and effort to raise them well.
And they were quite big, and he didn't know what kind they were. He had never seen those red flowers in the manor before, and they seemed to be rare species. He thought that the ones in the lake should also be rare species raised by some rich family.
The more the middle-aged man looked at it, the more curious he felt. After preparing the herbicide, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he squatted by the water and wanted to see what kind of fish it was.
But even though the fish had swam to the shore, they were still just a dark shadow, hazy and unclear.
They wandered back and forth near the shore, but did not come over. It seemed that although they were family, they were still hesitant to see a strange face.
The middle-aged man smiled and made a sound like teasing a dog. He reached out and touched the water surface, trying to coax the fish over to have a better look: "Come here, come here~"
The shadows in the water no longer hesitated. They swung their tails vigorously, rushed directly from the bottom of the water to the surface, and then rushed out directly, biting the middle-aged man's head.
The middle-aged man only had time to see several ferocious mouths and hideous fangs before he was dragged into the water: "Ugh!"
The dark shadows in the water gathered greedily, pressing the middle-aged man layer by layer into deeper water.
The person in the water struggled for only a moment and then stopped moving. Soon the school of fish dispersed and the person could no longer be seen in the water.
In the castle, after the host and hostess signed the employment contracts with the newcomers, they arranged for them to do some simple work. After the completion, there was nothing to do today.
The male owner knew that the female owner might still be thinking about the middleman, so he asked the servants who were already idle to divide into groups and use their free time to visit each floor.
After everything was over, the man suddenly felt a little confused and touched his nose: "It's been so long, why hasn't he come back? I didn't see him walk past this side. Did he pee or not?"
The hostess also looked out the window: "Maybe he will come over later."
However, after waiting for a while, I still didn't see the middle-aged man walking past this side.
The man took the woman's hand and said, "Let's go out for a walk and see what he is doing."
The two walked out of the castle hand in hand, ready to stroll around the manor to enjoy the flowers, but they still didn't see the middle-aged man who was called to weed.
The man frowned. "Are you hiding somewhere to slack off? Is this the first day?"
He complained, "I told you not to hire relatives. You may have good intentions for them, but they may not appreciate it. They may even try to cheat by relying on their blood relationship. You won't be able to control them then."
The woman immediately shook her head: "Impossible, my uncle is very simple and hardworking, it is impossible for him to be sneaky."
The man didn't comment, with a look of "forget it, forget it" on his face.
However, when they turned to the artificial lake, they saw the overturned medicine box and messy medicines from afar. In the chaos, one bottle even fell directly into the lake.
But there was no middle-aged person.
The woman was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in shock.
When the man saw this scene, he instantly had a bad premonition and hurriedly ran to the lake.
When we got to the shore, we found that the medicine that had been spilled was mixed with blood. Although we didn't see anyone, there were a few pieces of tattered cloth floating on the surface of the lake.
The woman followed closely, slowly reached out her hand to cover her mouth, and exclaimed: "Is he drowning? Save him!"
"I can't even see where the person is, how can I save him?" The man's eyes turned around anxiously, and then he pointed at the pieces of cloth floating on the lake. "How could someone drown and even his clothes be torn into pieces like this? It must be a beast!"
The shadows in the water swam quickly to the shore, hungry and greedy.
"Perhaps he has escaped."
The two men, hoping for the last bit of luck, walked around the artificial lake but found no trace.
The person who fell into the water definitely did not succeed in getting ashore and was most likely drowned, but for some reason no body was seen floating up.
The man had noticed from the corner of his eye that large shadows were swimming with them in the water. Wherever they went, the shadows followed hungrily, but he could not see clearly what kind of fish they were.
The man instinctively realized that something was wrong, and stopped the hostess who was still trying to get closer to the water: "Go ask the middleman what kind of fish the previous owner kept in the lake?"
In a panic, the woman trusted the other person very much. She immediately stopped approaching the lake and used her mobile phone to ask Mr. John about the black fish in the lake.
John seemed to still be keeping a close eye on his phone, and he responded the moment the woman sent the message: [It’s a very ordinary fish]
[But just now, someone in my family seemed to have died in the lake! Those fish are following us now!]
A new term was immediately given over there: [It is a very common piranha]
How could someone keep piranhas in an open-air pool? Is he a pervert? And he never told them! With so many piranhas, if they touched the water, it would really kill someone!
The hostess was terrified and told the man the middleman's reply. She asked tremblingly, "Should we...should we call the police?"
"If we call the police, and someone dies, the responsibility will be on us." The man hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Call the police."
The woman immediately called the police, and the operator listened to her description and gently asked her address. But when he heard that it was this castle, he asked like the broadband company operator before: "Are you sure this is your current address?"
"Yes... that's right, any questions?"
The operator replied gently: "No problem."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The woman was stunned: "You... hung up on me again, what should I do?"
"Keep fighting."
She called three times in a row, but the call was hung up every time, which almost drove her crazy. It was not until she persisted in calling for the fourth time that the operator answered the call seriously.
The woman asked at the top of her voice, "I said that the previous owner raised piranhas in the pool here, but now someone fell in and disappeared! Why did you hang up on me?!"
"Because there were 50 false reports of murder/falling/drowning at Vincennes last year, this old joke is not funny."
After saying this, there was a weird laugh: "Haha, haha"
After laughing, he hung up the phone again.
The woman could only turn her attention back to Mr. John: [Unfortunately, someone fell into the pond full of ordinary piranhas, and now he is gone!]
[Um]
[what to do? ]
[Maybe you can find him if you look for him in the water]
The woman couldn't believe it and was shaking with shock and anger.
Is this human language? Is this human language?!
What is this called? Once the money is transferred, they turn their backs on you?
[What kind of house did you recommend to us? What about the 50 false reports?]
[All matters needing attention are written in the contract]
This middleman behaved quite well when we met last time, but now he seems to not understand what anyone is saying!
The woman asked again, but the other party changed his previous state as if he was standing by the phone and replying immediately, and there was no reply for a long time.
Seeing that there was no one to turn to, the man could only hug the woman and comfort her: "Tomorrow we will buy some pesticides and pour them into the lake, and there will be no fish. Go back first and don't go near this lake again. Just pretend that nothing happened and we will find a solution tomorrow."
The two of them walked back to the castle hugging each other. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a file bag on the table in the hall.
The woman's cell phone rang again, and the profile picture of Mr. John, the middleman who had ignored her for a long time, popped up at this moment.
[The payment has been received, and the follow-up procedures you requested have been sent, please check]
Mr. John, it's like a ghost. Is he spying on them? When was this document delivered?
[Our deal has been concluded, please remember to fulfill our contract in the future]
Why was Mr. John's character so different yesterday and earlier than now?
...our contract?
The woman asked tremblingly: [Who are you? Where are you?]
The other side immediately responded: [This is John, ma'am. I'm not anywhere]
The two new owners of the manor did not dare to open the document bag at first, and went to call other servants in the castle first.
At this time, the servants were following the instructions of the male master and were carefully searching around the castle to see if there were any surveillance equipment hidden in it.
They used to be simple workers, but suddenly they got such a good job thanks to their distant relatives. They were very happy and cherished it, and did not dare to be careless at all.
In addition to the middle-aged man who was weeding earlier, they had five other people who were searching carefully layer by layer in groups of two. The remaining middle-aged woman was alone and would wait for the middle-aged man to come back from weeding before she could find a partner.
Hearing the owner of the first floor calling them anxiously, all the servants immediately stopped searching and prepared to go downstairs.
The middle-aged woman was assigned the highest floor, so she used her key to open the elevator.
The moment she stepped into the elevator car, the middle-aged woman caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes flashing through the small gap between the elevator car and the elevator shaft, as if they were peeking at her.
The middle-aged woman was startled, but after a closer look, she realized that she had seen it wrong. Where were the eyes? There was just some dirt stuck in the gap.
Sort of like bubble gum.
The middle-aged woman had already walked into the elevator car, but was a little hesitant and pressed the door open button to prevent the door from closing.
Then she leaned over and looked towards the small gap.
It was a very large piece of red bubble gum stuck there.
It doesn't look like a piece, but rather like some wicked person gathered all the bubble gum he had chewed for a year and stuck it to the bottom of the elevator car. This is not easy to clean.
The middle-aged woman cursed in her heart while taking out the cleaning tools to see if there was any way to deal with it.
Just as she was looking closely, the huge lump of sticky chewing gum began to move rapidly, instantly filling the gaps at the bottom and on both sides of the elevator. Three or four pairs of eyeballs opened and looked at her through the gaps.
The woman in the middle didn't expect this kind of scene, and she screamed unexpectedly: "Ah!!!"
But several tentacles suddenly shot out from the "bubble gum" and rushed into her mouth. Although the tentacles were very small, they were surprisingly powerful.
The middle-aged woman was knocked flying and hit the wall.
As the tentacles drilled into her mouth, they kept twisting and squeezing each other, as if they were fighting.
The middle-aged woman struggled desperately, but it was useless and no one would come to help her: "Ugh! Ugh!"
The button that kept the door open went out, and the elevator door finally closed and began to descend.
The other servants have already come to the first floor together.
The elevator dinged and arrived on the first floor. The middle-aged woman patted her clothes, with a stiff smile that was not very skillful on her face. She twisted and turned, walked out of the elevator with a strange posture, and mixed in with the other servants.
The host saw that everyone was present, and then he mentioned the file bag: "Has anyone seen this file bag before? Who put it here? Or did you see who brought it in?"
The servants all shook their heads obediently.
The hostess glanced at the middle-aged woman.
She and the middle-aged man who just fell into the piranha pond were a couple. The hostess was afraid that she could not accept this, but the disappearance of such a big person could not be concealed.
The hostess hesitated for a moment before she tactfully mentioned that the middle-aged man seemed to be missing, but it was very likely that he had just lost his way in the wasteland.
The middle-aged woman's face did not show any sadness, worry or anger. She still had that stiff smile on her face: "Really? Then you have to find it back quickly."
It is normal for an introverted person to smile shyly, but it is a bit strange that she is still smiling like this after learning that her husband is missing.
The hostess felt a little indescribable horror, but she couldn't think of the reason why she was so abnormal.
*****
On the upper floors of the castle, five people who had sneaked in while the host and hostess went for a walk saw that the family didn't know why they continued to go up. After the elevator stopped at the first floor, they changed their wet and cold clothes and took turns to take hot showers.
After taking a shower and seeing that no one had come up yet, I decided to spend the night here.
Johnny asked again, "What's our plan? How do we get the gem?"
