Fortunately, at this time, the old mayor finally walked upstairs and down by himself.
Jim hurried over to support him, and then stood beside him.
"Jim, help me down to see Kevin."
So Jim supported the old mayor and came to Kevin's body.
He looked at Kevin before speaking to Zhou Bai.
"Boy, Kevin died in your old castle.
Logically speaking, you also need to take some responsibility. "
Jim felt that he finally heard a normal person's speech, and nodded quickly.
Zhou Bai walked to the side of the old mayor.
"Of course.
However, it was too windy and snowy outside, and it was not suitable for transporting his body out.
This matter may have to wait until dawn before it can be dealt with. "
Jim looked out the window.
It was snowing heavily outside, although it was not convenient to travel, but it didn't seem to be as exaggerated as Zhou Bai said.
He was about to refute, but the old mayor secretly grabbed his hand and signaled him not to speak.
Jim couldn't react and was about to ask.
Then I heard the old mayor talking to Zhou Bai.
"You make a lot of sense. Now is really not the best time to deal with this matter."
Seeing that things had eased, Boots finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Bai, on the other hand, smiled and said to the other people present.
"Sorry to interrupt our dinner due to some misunderstanding.
How about we move to the restaurant together and continue our party? "
Facing Zhou Bai's weird proposal, except for Jim who was stunned, everyone else nodded in agreement.
So, everyone followed Zhou Bai to the restaurant.
And in the hall of the old castle, on the retro phonograph, there was a record, which was spinning almost silently.
The old mayor sat in his original seat and said to Zhou Bai.
"What about that record you bought in my store? Why isn't it out and playing?"
Zhou Bai said to him with a smile.
"Want to play it, but the record player doesn't seem to work. It's such a pity."
The old mayor then said to him.
"Oh?
Is that the gramophone in the hall? "
Zhou Bai nodded.
"What a coincidence, I happen to be able to fix one of those gramophones."
When Zhou Bai heard this, he became vigilant.
"You are a guest, how can I let you repair the machine?"
The old mayor has no intention of giving up at all.
"It's not difficult at all, it only takes a few minutes.
Let's keep eating.
Let's go to the lobby and be back soon. "
After the old mayor finished speaking, he supported himself and stood up.
Jim hurriedly wanted to stand up to help, but was pushed down by the old mayor.
Looking at his posture, he seemed to have something to say to Zhou Bai alone.
Zhou Bai thought for a while, then got up and walked towards the old mayor.
So, Zhou Bai supported him, and the two left the restaurant and walked towards the hall.
The old mayor was watching the layout of the castle all the way.
It's just that he and Jim, or Kevin, look at the castle differently.
His appearance is more like remembering something through the interior of the castle.
Zhou Bai thought about whether he should take this opportunity to ask him for more information.
But I heard the old mayor suddenly ask.
"Do you know what time the song 'Jingle Bells' is going to play?"
Zhou Bai shook his head.
"It's meant to be played when Santa comes along."
Chapter 159 The Old Mayor's Wish
The old mayor's words sounded like he was chatting with Zhou Bai about the customs of Christmas Eve in a very ordinary way.
But Zhou Bai knew clearly that what they were talking about might be a matter of life and death tonight.
Why did the old mayor know about the existence of Santa Claus?
Why did he tell Zhou Bai about this?
Zhou Bai didn't know about these things.
Especially if the old mayor also knew about the ten-year-old rule.
Then what he revealed made people even more suspicious.
Only one person can survive tonight.
Zhou Bai knew that as time passed, the things he had to face would only become more dangerous.
In the corner of the castle hall.
The phonograph was still playing records and was spinning continuously.
Zhou Bai supported the old mayor and came to the side of the phonograph.
First Christmas Eve Survival Rules, #[-].
[The owner of the record store may tell you that there is no record of the song "Jingle Bells".But don't give up, please be sure to play this song on Christmas Eve. 】
In fact, Zhou Bai didn't fully trust the old mayor when he got the record.
In particular, he took the initiative to give this record to Zhou Bai, which aroused Zhou Bai's suspicion even more.
That's why he thought of this method of playing.
This song can be played on the gramophone without making a sound.
I just don't know, as the owner of the record store, what kind of expression would the old mayor have when he saw Zhou Bai's operation?
So, Zhou Bai looked down at the other party.
Try to get more information from the expression on the other person's face when he sees the phonograph.
However, after the old mayor saw the phonograph, a smile appeared on his face immediately.
"Silly boy.
You are still too young, have you never used this old machine before?
You see, you didn't even install the speakers. "
The old mayor didn't expose Zhou Bai, and even gave him a very reasonable reason for his behavior.
Zhou Bai didn't find any flaws in his behavior and expression.
Therefore, he could only smile and act as if he had suddenly realized.
"Blame me, I forgot about it when it was disassembled a few days ago.
Maybe it's because I have to prepare for tonight's party, so I'm a little busy and confused. "
After he finished speaking, he took down the record on the machine.
Then, by hand, the horn was reinstalled on top of the phonograph.
The old mayor stood aside and nodded in relief when he saw that Zhou Bai had finished installing the speakers.
Zhou Bai walked to his side, trying to help him back to the restaurant.
But the old mayor waved his hand to reject Zhou Bai's move.
"Do you still remember that when I gave you this record, you promised me a request?"
Of course Zhou Bai didn't forget.
"Remember.
You asked me to promise you that day, so that you could stand on the watchtower of the old castle on Christmas Eve and take a look at the scenery above."
The old mayor looked at Zhou Bai, then nodded.
"Yes. Can you take me up there?"
When Zhou Bai took other people to "visit" the castle just now, he didn't let them go up to the watchtower.
The old mayor didn't bring up this matter at the time, but waited until he was alone with Zhou Bai before saying so.
Then it is very possible that the old mayor does not want other people to enjoy the scenery outside the castle with him.
Zhou Bai had no way to refuse the old mayor.
Because this is something he promised a long time ago.
It's just that Zhou Bai was still in his heart, constantly reminding himself that he must be more careful.
After all, this Christmas Eve is not an ordinary festival for Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai said "Yes" to the old mayor.
Then he supported him and walked in the direction of the stone ladder.
Beside the stone ladder, Kevin's body was still motionless, lying on the ground.
Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Zhou Bai felt a little shocking.
He rolled his eyes.
But he found that when the old mayor passed by him, the expression on his face didn't change a bit.
Zhou Bai couldn't help but feel startled.
This is not like the reaction that an ordinary person should have when seeing a corpse.
Immediately, Zhou Bai became more wary of the old mayor.
The other party seemed to have sensed Zhou Bai's silence all the way.
While struggling to climb the stairs, he said to Zhou Bai.
"Do you know why I must go to the watchtower of the old castle to take a look at it on Christmas Eve?"
Zhou Bai whispered, "I don't know."
The old mayor looked up and glanced at the long stone stairs.
The skinny hand tremblingly held Zhou Bai tightly.
Support struggling to climb up.
"Then do you know that I resigned from the position of mayor ten years ago?"
