living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 4 Sound
Under such circumstances, the extra person would not be considered a coincidence, maybe the "danger" in the castle refers to the extra person, so what is his purpose?

Mu Lan observed the people in the castle. First of all, the leader of the rhythm, the reporter Lu Tianming, was the one who proposed to enter the castle to explore. From the beginning to now, this person talked the most, and he asked everyone to follow him. Thinking about it, analyzing every link of the whole incident, he looks smart and stable, and he has faintly become the leader of the team.

Then there is Wang Qiang, a big and strong man. She thinks this person is less suspicious. He has been singing opposite scenes with Lu Tianming. It's all fake, and it's possible, then this person will be very scary, with powerful force and his own cunning that is good at disguising, he is definitely the most troublesome person.

Xu Min, a woman in pajamas, and Xiao De, an ordinary citizen with his head on his back, are about the same age, both in their 30s. Can't find it in the heap either.

As for the two students, An Junhang and Zhao Mengqi, they are alumni of the same high school. She couldn't hide anything in her mouth, so she said whatever she had. Zhao Mengqi looked submissive, always lowered her head, and occasionally glanced at others secretly. She was a timid little girl.

Finally, there is Ah Feng, the man in the hoodie who makes Mu Lan wary. From his appearance, I really can't guess what his occupation is. She didn't know how to describe this feeling, she didn't know where it came from, she just felt that this person was like a leopard ready to go, his whole body was tense, very deliberate.

Who will be the extra one?What is this person's purpose?Or maybe he himself didn't know about it, and these were all deliberate missions?

Unable to figure it out no matter how much she thought about it, Mu Lan sighed. It seemed that she could only wait for the passage of time before those hidden clues would surface.

"Maybe it's not that serious?" This time it was Wang Qiang who spoke first. He looked at the silent Lu Tianming and smiled: "You people think too much, and the truth is often not that complicated." He spread his hands, He added: "The force that kidnapped us got the wrong number of people, or someone just wanted to muddy the water, making us suspicious of each other!"

"That's right!" Xiaode nodded, "If we suspect each other, then no matter what dangers arise, we can't face them together!"

Wang Qiang glanced at Xiao De approvingly and felt that he was very knowledgeable. He was more capable of leading than Lu Tianming who doubted everyone at the slightest sign of danger.

"That's right! This isn't playing Werewolf. Besides, is there a perverted murderer among us in a society ruled by law?" Xu Min also echoed.

"Society ruled by law? Ha!" Ah Feng chuckled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm on his face, "There has never been a society ruled by law, whether it is our real society or this so-called Fort Hill, the world will always be dominated by the weak and the strong If you are weak, you will be killed, you will be eliminated, it seems that you are spoiled by the peaceful environment, and people like you who hold universal concepts will die very quickly."

This person uttered such a sentence suddenly, and several people were a little surprised. Xu Min only felt that the second half of the sentence was cursing himself to death, and immediately glared at Ah Feng unkindly and said, "Hmph, it seems that some people who are dissatisfied with the society have mixed in here. People on the fringes of the city, you look so poor, I don’t know that it’s Kuli who moves bricks in the gutter, oh no, look at your sad face, I’m afraid you are unemployed, come to our company, we still have a cleaning job, I can recommend you."

Everyone's faces were a bit embarrassed, but Mu Lan wanted to laugh, she immediately lowered her head and held back, this eldest sister has a way of swearing without showing any signs of leakage, she immediately looked at Ah Feng, Ah Feng just watched silently Looking at Xu Min, without any emotion in his eyes, just looking at it like that, Xu Min felt uncomfortable looking at it, and said impatiently: "What are you looking at, you?"

"Okay, don't fight among yourself at this time!" Lu Tianming frowned and said, "No matter why there is an extra person, the most important thing is not this. We have no food, no water, how can we survive for three days in an unfamiliar environment? And this castle is so big, we must explore it after dawn, looking for clues to leave."

Mu Lan keenly noticed that after Lu Tianming mentioned the words food and water, the female student Zhao Mengqi clutched her backpack tightly.

Xu Min stopped ridiculing Ah Feng, and several people felt that Lu Tianming's words were reasonable, and nodded their heads one after another.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Lu Tianming soon had the right to speak again. He added: "It was night when we came here, and it was night here too. We have been busy for a long time, and our physical strength is exhausted. Why don't we find some rooms to rest and rest tomorrow? Have a good spirit to explore the castle!"

Mu Lan was not in a hurry to rest. How could she sleep in such an environment? However, everyone was also tired. In the human biological clock, night corresponds to sleep, so everyone brought light sources to the hall on the first floor. After exploring for a while, they all found out that there was no danger except that it was relatively dark, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Min yawned and said, "I was going to sleep. No, I'm still wearing pajamas. The castle is so dark that I can't see anything clearly. It's better to investigate tomorrow during the day!"

Seeing everyone's feedback, Lu Tianming did not object. He suggested: "Well, we have too few light sources, and it is more suitable to explore the castle during the day, but I am more worried about the danger in the dark, and someone must be on duty today! I just saw the moon. Location, here is about 1:[-] in the middle of the night, there are at least four hours until dawn, we have four people, each of us will keep vigil for an hour, how about it?"

Then Lu Tianming stood up to be on the first shift, and several other people discussed it. Based on the principles of gentlemen, the remaining three night watchmen were Afeng, Xiaode and Wang Qiang.

The moon was shrouded in dark clouds again, and lightning flashed and thundered in the distance. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of stopping. Several people fell asleep in place. They barely found some sundries as pillows, and there was no bed or quilt. It was the first time for many people to experience this feeling on the hard marble floor.

Mu Lan couldn't sleep, and the scenes that happened today flashed through her mind like a movie. From being stopped by someone to this gloomy castle, all kinds of questions and thoughts kept popping up. She tried her best to let herself go, forcing herself to fall asleep quickly In order to avoid lack of energy tomorrow, she habitually stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist. The only relic of her mother always made her feel comfortable.

The fire in the fireplace was flickering on and off, not far away I don't know who was snoring, Mu Lan's sleep was very light, she had a few dreams this night, and woke up several times after tossing and turning, those dreams were either bizarre or grotesque, She woke up suddenly, and slowly looked at the crowd. Wang Qiang, who was on guard at night, was dozing off on a stool, with his head lowered so deeply that he didn't know how long he had slept. Zhao Mengqi and Xu Min were beside them, and in the distance were several other men, their faces looked very quiet with the firelight reflecting on them.

"Boom!" A moderate voice broke the quiet atmosphere.

Several people were sleeping soundly, but they didn't hear it. Mu Lan immediately looked for the direction of the sound, which seemed to be far away upstairs.

She looked over vigilantly, there was a mass of darkness over there, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Like her delusion, there was no other sound after a long time, and she lay back again, but her body was facing that direction, her eyes were narrowed and she tried hard to adapt to the darkness, and she was still vigilant.

"Dong dong!" The voice rang twice again, and Mu Lan hurriedly sat up, her heart beating wildly.

what is itSeeing things in the dark was blurry, but it was a little better than before. After adapting to the dark environment, she could roughly see that it was a certain room on the third floor.

Mu Lan held her breath and kept her attention to the extreme. She was staring at the large darkness on the third floor, afraid of missing something, but at this moment there was a sound beside her. She was startled suddenly, and when she looked back, she saw A face suddenly appeared in front of him.

".!" Just about to scream out, a big rough hand covered her mouth, Mu Lan's heart beat like a drum, cold sweat broke out involuntarily, and she instinctively tried to get rid of it with both hands.

"Shh!" Ah Feng motioned to keep quiet. Mu Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person in front of her was Ah Feng. After making no more noise, he let go of his hand and pointed to the direction of the third floor.

Mu Lan nodded. Ah Feng must have been awakened by those noises too. This person was really vigilant. She pointed in one direction, which was the approximate location she had determined for the two noises, indicating that it was over there.

"Boom. Boom. Boom!"

The sound sounded again, like someone walking in the corridor. The sound was far away, but it was very real in the quiet environment.

Mu Lan felt that the sound was like the sound of a hard object falling on the corridor, and there was a pause every two sounds, which was very regular and rhythmic.

"What are you doing?" It was Xu Min's vague voice who was still awake. She looked at Mu Lan and Afeng and asked strangely: "Aren't you two going to sleep at night?"

The voice also stopped abruptly following Xu Min's words. At this moment, Wang Qiang also woke up. He stretched himself, stretched his muscles and bones, got up and walked over: "What's wrong?"

"There is something!" Ah Feng said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Mu Lan nodded, "There was a sound of walking back and forth on the third floor just now. It was very strange!"

Wang Qiang realized the seriousness of the matter, and was about to turn around to wake everyone up, when there was another series of particularly loud walking sounds on the third floor, as if something had been awakened suddenly, the sound changed from small to loud, He was actually coming downstairs towards them!
