Chapter 7 Castle Opera House (7)

When the last board was removed, a pungent stench rushed into everyone's nostrils.

"Hmm!" The venture capitalist immediately covered his mouth and nose with his cuff, and took two steps back with disgust.

Chi Yu frowned slightly, looked at the twisted black object on the ground, and managed to find two things that looked like heads after a full five seconds.

Their faces were wrapped in rotten flesh, and their appearance in life had long been indistinguishable, but from the long black hair surrounding one of their heads, it could be seen...it was a woman.

She suddenly thought of something, and her tone was a little uncertain: "...the chef and the maid?"

"Ah?" The venture capitalist looked at her suspiciously, "How did you recognize it?"

"Guess."

Chi Yu simply explained, "I guessed the chef because of the CG that was triggered just now, and guessed the maid because of the six people on the stage before, she was the only one with black hair."

The venture capitalist nodded upon hearing the words: "It makes sense..."

Hua Feinian also showed a clear expression: "Well, but it's really thanks to you that you can distinguish two human figures from this...unidentified substance. It's not easy..."

Hey, what is an unknown substance... please respect the dead.

While Chi Yu was slandering, Aoki Nanzhi next to him suddenly said: "There seem to be other things on the ground."

As he spoke, he picked up a thinner board and scooped up the corpse oil on the ground.

This series of fluent actions immediately made Chi Yu awestruck, and the venture capitalists couldn't help but look sideways, while Hua Feinian, who was on the side, had already been unable to look up at the sky, and a question kept circulating in his heart.

Is it her illusion?How does she feel... the newcomers in this dungeon are not very normal.

Aoki Nanzhi quickly cleaned up the solidified black liquid, and a series of criss-crossing red ink stains appeared in everyone's field of vision.

"This is..." Chi Yu frowned and said, "Magic circle?"

Before she could finish speaking, the familiar "curtain call" sounded again.

It's just that, unlike the clear and ethereal voice before, the voice at this moment is cold and deep, as if it is ice that chills to the bone.

"The day before yesterday, the servant died..."

"Yesterday, the cook died."

"I saw their broken bones..."

"And the gentle smiles of Mom and Dad."

"..."

Chi Yu and the others were stunned, and it was difficult to digest such a huge amount of information for a while.

In the end, it was the venture capitalist who broke the silence, "What... a dark fairy tale?"

"It's Dinah's self-report." Chi Yu once again looked at the two bones that had been fused together.

"The meaning of this ballad should be that the Leicester couple killed the maid 'the day before yesterday' and the cook 'yesterday'. Unfortunately...'I' happened to see the whole process of their murder .”

"It's so cruel... Wait, why did they do this?"

"Who knows?" Chi Yu thought for a while and said again, "Maybe...it has something to do with the magic circle under their corpses?"

Seeing that they were discussing in full swing and had no intention of stopping at all, Hua Feinian interrupted helplessly: "I said... Shouldn't the focus now be to find and kill the Wraith as soon as possible?"

"Since the identity of the Wraith Spirit has been revealed, there is no need to delve into the details, right?"

"Well...that's right."

Venture capitalists have changed their positions without principle.

"After resting for such a long time, your physical strength should almost be back to full."

Hua Feinian said and waved, "Let's go back upstairs as soon as possible to complete the main storyline."

Now that she has made a decision, the three "newcomers" will naturally not refute.

Under Hua Feinian's arrangement, a group of four left the utility room in a straight line.

The rain outside seems to have stopped for a long time, and a full moon has already hung on the branches. The bright moonlight shines in through the window, coating the entire interior of the castle with a silver-white "coat".

Under the moonlight, there are many shadows.

As soon as Chi Yu and the others stepped out of the gate, they saw that the stairs not far away were full of "people" at some point.

They stood sideways, lined up on both sides of the stairs, with identical pale faces turned towards the direction of the four players, with stiff and strange smiles on their faces.

The venture capitalist who was walking in the middle was shocked when he saw this, and almost couldn't catch his breath.

"It really lingers..." Hua Feinian looked at the porcelain puppets with a bad expression.

"They... won't attack us, will they?" the venture capitalist swallowed.

"Theoretically not." Chi Yu said behind him, "If they had the intention to attack, they would have done it as early as we came out."

Facts have proved that Chi Yu's inference is correct.

As the four climbed up the stairs, the porcelain puppets kept standing upright, only their heads turned slowly as they moved forward, as if they were a group of living people watching them go on a long journey.

In this tense and weird atmosphere, Chi Yu and others returned to the first floor.

However, countless porcelain puppets crowded the hall densely, making the entire space look like a filled sardine can. Except for the two-meter-square open space at the corner of the stairs, there was no place to step down.

"That's what it means to let us go up to the second floor."

Hua Feinian turned to look at her teammate, "Go ahead... I want to see what tricks she can pull off."

Another dozen seconds passed, and the four players finally stepped on the ground on the second floor.

There are only two porcelain puppets guarding here, different from the pasted and copied guys downstairs, they have very clear faces...they are the dead maid Ella, and the chef Blake.

They stared at the stairs with smiles on their faces, and stretched their right hands forward, making a "please" gesture.

Chi Yu subconsciously looked in the direction they pointed out.

It was the only room on the second floor with the door wide open.

Hua Feinian naturally noticed this too: "...go over and have a look, be careful."

Chi Yu and venture capitalists followed suit.

The four of them maintained their formation and came all the way to the door of the room.

The first thing they noticed...was an extremely exaggerated dark red bloodstain.

In the center of the room, the entire white carpet was soaked in blood, as if it had been soaked in a pool of blood.

"I always feel..." The venture capitalist was still the first to speak, "Compared with when I first entered the dungeon, my heart's ability to bear it is no longer at the same level."

Indeed, such a small scene, just watched it and got used to it.

Chi Yu vomited proficiently.

"This place... is it a slaughterhouse..." Hua Feinian frowned in disgust.

Chi Yu's expression remained unchanged: "Yes, this amount of bleeding is more than the sum of all the blood in an adult's body."

The venture capitalist suddenly asked: "Could it be that the maid and chef were killed here?"

"Unless they were chopped up, there wouldn't be this much blood, and their intact bodies strongly refute that hypothesis."

Chi Yu said, passing Hua Feinian, "So, I am more inclined to Fei Nian's point of view, here...is a different kind of 'slaughterhouse'."

While speaking, she had already turned around the room quickly, and spread her hands towards the three people at the door: "I didn't find any tools for dismembering the corpse."

Hua Feinian was speechless: "I just said that casually, it's normal if I didn't find it, no one would build a slaughterhouse in their own castle."

"I see, it's a disposable product, so throw it away after use?"

"Throw a ghost! How on earth did you draw this conclusion from what I just said!"

Hua Feinian weakly pressed her temples, looking like she would be in a coma due to lack of oxygen at any time, "Before you said you had a psychiatrist, I was dubious... Now it seems that you not only need to see a psychiatrist, but I also recommend you to go to see a psychiatrist." Check it out in a mental hospital."

"It was checked a long time ago. I am still active outside the hospital, which shows that my mental state is good."

Chi Yu once again blasted a thunderbolt in the hearts of his teammates with an extremely peaceful tone.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised the epee in her hand and threw it on a table in the corner.

Accompanied by a loud "bang", while the other three people were startled, their attention was also attracted.

"After hiding for so long, it's time to come out?"

Chi Yu said coldly.

Under the astonished eyes of Hua Feinian and the others, two illusory figures "walked" out from behind the table one after another.

The first to appear was a man in his late forties, with short dark brown hair, wearing an expensive tailored suit, and holding a gold-encrusted walking stick in his hand.

Behind him was a blond, blue-eyed, bright-looking lady.Different from the former's composure, there was obviously a trace of indelible sadness on her pretty face.

The two "people" stood still in front of the players, Viscount Leicester looked at Chi Yu calmly and said, "How did you find us?"

How did you find it?
Of course it is "seeing"...

Chi Yu thought to himself.

Under the premise that only moonlight is used as the light source, your two "NPCs" emitting white light are as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night.

Although this is the case, the answer certainly cannot be answered truthfully.

Chi Yu's tone was calm: "It's very simple. Except for the carpet in the middle that is soaked in blood, the rest of the room is very clean. There is a blood-stained book behind that table."

"Also, maybe you can't notice it, but when we living people approach that table, we will feel a very faint chill... Unfortunately, I am very sensitive to changes in the surrounding temperature."

Viscount Leicester looked back at the book that had fallen on the table: "So it's like this...I really didn't expect that someone could deduce our existence from this tiny clue."

Listening to his undisguised praise, it took Chi Yu a full five seconds to suppress the surging strange mood.

She quickly adjusted her expression, and said calmly, "Would you mind telling us how you and your wife became like this?"
