living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 9
The second night came, and the team of only four people went to spend the night outside the castle according to the previous plan. The four people were wary of each other and worked together to move the bed to the garden outside, and found a place not far from the castle.

The four of them rarely communicated, and it was rare for Lu Tianming, who had been analyzing non-stop from the beginning, to calm down.

Both Lu Tianming and Mu Lan thought that the other party was a great threat, and they both acted calmly. The difference was that Lu Tianming played the role of a leader, while Mu Lan always kept what was on his mind. With the key quest item "Leon's Diary of the Steward" and the occasional sharp thinking ability, Lu Tianming will not underestimate this beautiful young girl.

Under the premise of not being sure about the real culprit, and the threat of Ah Feng hiding in the dark, the small team maintained a delicate balance.

Now that there are murderers inside and monsters outside, Mu Lan has to rely on team strength. Nature is the final winner. This idea was rejected by her in an instant. Although she treats people indifferently, she is not an anti-social person. The universal value education brought to her by the real society makes her unable to implement this plan. Of course, even if She really thought that her thin arms and legs should not be able to beat these people.

There was no moon at night, and it was a cloudy day, but luckily it didn’t rain, and the four of them didn’t dare to start a fire. They sat on the ground at a distance from each other, and the black silhouette of the castle in the night remained the same. Infiltrating, Mu Lan touched the dagger in her pocket, which somewhat gave her a sense of security.

"It's almost 12 o'clock!" Xu Min glanced at the time on the phone and said quietly.

Because they were not sure if there were skeletons outside, the four of them dared not sleep, and were preparing to survive the night forcefully. There was still a slight breeze outside, which made the branches and bushes squeak. They were all vigilant, under the double pressure of spirit and sleepiness. Next, the torment of tossing people is endless.

"When will it be?" Xu Min said haggardly. She hadn't eaten all day and stayed up all night, and she almost collapsed. Her body couldn't take it anymore, and she had asked Lu Tianming for food several times in a row.

Lu Tianming saw that she was really pitiful, so he broke a small piece of bread for him, and poured her two caps of water. Seeing this, Mu Lan and Zhao Mengqi also came forward to ask for it, so they all got some.

After eating bread and water, not only did she not feel full, but instead made her stomach churn, she just felt even hungrier. Looking at the bread in Lu Tianming's hand, Mu Lan thought to herself that she would carry food with her wherever she went.

"Hush! There's movement!" Lu Tianming suddenly made a gesture to keep everyone quiet.

Mu Lan became vigilant. It sounded like there was only the sound of the breeze blowing the grass and trees. She tried her best to look around, but she didn't find anything wrong with her senses.

"Where is it?" Zhao Mengqi asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, there was a strange sound just now." Lu Tianming said.

Seeing that Xu Min's cell phone was on, Mu Lan immediately asked her to turn it off. The light was too conspicuous. Then she walked up a gentle slope. The castle was built on a high ground. From here, you can see When she reached a relatively far position, she raised her eyes and looked, and then saw something terrifying.

In the distance outside the castle, there are countless dots of green flames, and those skeletons are wandering outside, the number is scary.

Mu Lan hurriedly told everyone about this discovery, encountering such a large number of skeletons in this open area, it is impossible to resist, compared to the inside of the castle, it is safer, and there is no way to spend the night outside, the four of them had to return to the castle again .

"It seems that these skeletons will suddenly appear at 12 o'clock in the morning!" Xu Min affirmed.

"Well, it's obvious, let's go back first." Just as Lu Tianming said that, he suddenly noticed two balls of green fire emerging from behind Xu Min, and he ran towards the gate of the ancient castle without warning.

"Ahhh!" Xu Min screamed, her back was pierced by the skeleton's claws, and she cried out in pain.

Xu Min's voice startled more skeletons, and a lot of green lights appeared in the bushes in an instant, and Mu Lan ran away when she saw it.

At this time, she saw a few more green fires appearing out of thin air on the side of the castle like a refreshing monster, the black mist spread, and two skeleton men rushed towards her and Lu Tianming.

Lu Tianming struck at one of the skeletons with the wooden stick in his hand, blocking an attack. At the same time, another skeleton pounced on him.

The only target in Mu Lan's eyes was the gate of the castle, and she burst out at a faster speed than usual at a critical moment.

"Run faster! Hurry up!" Mu Lan murmured in her heart.

A black shadow flashed out of the corner of the eye, and Mu Lan subconsciously rolled to the side. She didn't have the skill of Ah Feng, and this time she jumped into the mud, and she burst into tears when her chin bit her tongue, but she didn't dare to stop. Hold your body up and continue running forward.

The gate was close in front of her eyes, Mu Lan hurriedly moved the wooden table that was stuck to the gate, and hurried in.

It was her idea to block the gate with something. She was afraid that the gate would be locked from the inside, so that it would be easier to get in if there was an accident outside. Jump out of the window and escape.

At this time, Zhao Mengqi also ran over, but she didn't see Lu Tianming. Mu Lan looked at Xu Min when she closed the door. It was disconnected, and the remaining two legs were still thumping helplessly. The skeleton man actually looked like he wanted to tear her to pieces.

After the two locked the door, Zhao Mengqi vomited out with a groan, but there was nothing in her stomach, she just retched and vomited gastric juice there, which made Mu Lan who was brought by Zhao Mengqi feel a little uncomfortable, she hurriedly covered her mouth not to make yourself throw up.

There is also a skeleton in the castle, maybe there are more than one, but it is better than the mountains and plains outside. Mu Lan patted Zhao Mengqi, and the two discussed how to find a hidden room to hide for the night.

I don't know where Ah Feng is now, and whether he is watching them secretly. When Mu Lan was about to go up to the second floor, a faint voice came from the hall.

"Wait for me!"

It was Lu Tianming's voice!Is he not dead?Mu Lan looked over and saw that Lu Tianming was walking over with his hands on his stomach and his voice was a little weak.

"I jumped in through the window, and just now I had to deal with those skeletons for a long time, and I was forced to go around the castle to get rid of it!"

Lu Tianming is really fateful, Mu Lan thought, this man has deep plans, if he is the murderer, it will be much more difficult, she very much hoped that he was the one who died just now.

"Where are the food and water?" Mu Lan looked at Lu Tianming,

"It's still here." Lu Tianming patted the schoolbag on his back, and said, "Don't worry, this is the hope of living. I won't lose it. We will allocate it as soon as we find a hiding place."

Mu Lan nodded. Just as the three of them were about to leave, Mu Lan noticed some strange differences.

The three of them walked from the gate to the upstairs position just past Wang Qiang's body. During the day, Wang Qiang and Afeng died here after fighting. They did not have the energy or obligation to collect Wang Qiang's body, so they left the body lying on the floor. Shi Mulan discovered that there was a bloody hole in Wang Qiang's chest.

"Wang Qiang's body has been passive?" Mu Lan asked in confusion.

Zhao Mengqi and Lu Tianming also approached, both were startled, Lu Tianming immediately said: "After Wang Qiang died, we were all preparing things to spend the night outside, and no one moved his body."

"That's weird!" Mu Lan saw that Wang Qiang's chest seemed to be hollowed out by something, and that location happened to be the heart.

Both An Junhang's and Wang Qiang's hearts were pulled out, what did the murderer want to do?
Does the earl's ritual require a human heart?It could only be like this, the frightening thing was that he stole Wang Qiang's heart under the noses of several people.

Mu Lan didn't stop thinking about these things. The three of them just paused in the lobby and went up to the second floor. They found a living room as a hiding place for tonight. This room has two doors, and it is close to the stairs. It is also very convenient to escape after the door is breached.

"I think of the murder case in Renfu Community. The murderer killed three people in a row, cut out the victim's heart and frozen it in his refrigerator." Mu Lan recalled the sensational murder case the year before last. The murderer's behavior after the murder was the same as now Kind of similar, but that case has been solved, the murderer has a sociopathic personality, and suffers from severe intermittent mental illness.

"Really? I haven't heard of it, but the murderer in this old castle has nothing to do with the murder case in the community." Lu Tianming said casually.

"I remember that incident! It was scary! The murderer ran away at the beginning, and it was only half a month before he was arrested and brought to justice, which caused panic across the country." Zhao Mengqi sighed as she spoke, "I just didn't expect that I would also experience Something like that."

Mu Lan thought of something, took a deep breath, then stroked Zhao Mengqi's hair, "Everything will end, we will all go back alive!"

Mu Lan turned around, looked at Lu Tianming and joked, "We'll have a good celebration at that time. I remember that your Ancheng's specialty Huangdao beer is pretty good. Don't forget to bring us some."

"Well, definitely." Lu Tianming nodded.

The atmosphere seemed to be active again, I don't know if it was for fun or something else, after closing the doors and windows, the three of them were still chatting quietly.

"There seems to be a sound outside?" Mu Lan said suddenly, and she motioned to Lu Tianming to listen.

"Where is it?" Lu Tianming immediately approached the door and listened.

"No! You"

Lu Tianming clutched his stomach and looked at Mu Lan in disbelief.

Mu Lan used an excuse to relax Lu Tianming's vigilance, and then took advantage of the hidden dagger to sneak attack him. This time, Mu Lan pulled out the dagger and wanted to stab him a second time.

Lu Tianming suddenly grinned, his face became blurred, and he couldn't distinguish the original appearance, and then he said something quickly, covered in black mist, Mu Lan only felt that the scene in front of her had changed, and she could only see the boundless of darkness.

A great sense of fear enveloped her whole body, accompanied by various negative emotions, weakness, and helplessness. She recalled the scene of being bullied by her classmates when she was a child, and those faces who had bullied her came to her.

"Get away!" Mu Lan said angrily. She swung away the shadows with the dagger in her hand, but the shadows still continued to attack her.

It’s been a long time since I experienced this kind of feeling. When Mu Lan grew up, she disguised herself with a cold and tough side. Although no such bullying incident happened, she still made fewer and fewer people around her, and everyone kept away from her. Blame yourself and dare not make friends with her.

Loneliness replaced helplessness, those ugly faces disappeared, Mu Lan knelt on the ground, a tear ran down her cheek, a huge sense of loneliness filled her heart, she felt that she was the only one in the world, without understanding, trust, or affection and camaraderie.

Just when Mu Lan was filled with boundless negative emotions, the jade bracelet on her wrist lit up with a white light, and the white light wrapped Mu Lan, soft and warm, as if comforting her, Mu Lan only felt a wave of warmth The thought flowed into her heart, her consciousness instantly became clear, and the darkness immediately disappeared without a trace.
