Chapter 181 A strange world

"Be careful? What should I be careful of? Who should I be careful of?"

An unpleasant feeling welled up in Clark's heart again. He guessed that this small note was probably written to him by Mirel, because this dress was a gift from Mirel, as was the suit he wore tonight.

She suggested choosing it. She was also the one who had the most contact with the clothes and was the most likely to give him hints.

Clark's brain was swollen. He sat on the edge of the bed and recalled everything that happened during the day.

There were fragments in his memory. He only remembered that he was obviously on a flight to China. Then he fell asleep on the flight, and when he woke up, he found that he was in an uninhabited place.

, the clothes and items I carry with me have changed.

At first, he was panicked, but soon he calmed down, rummaged through the things he had on him, and then dug out a lot of things from his backpack, including a notepad that recorded "his" situation, and a

There is a pocket watch with very slow hands.

The date of the seventeenth century was written on the notepad, and the purpose of his trip was stated - "he" was going to a remote count's castle. The castle was built on the edge of a cliff, and there was nothing within four or five kilometers of it.

The uninhabited woods are remote and remote, and "his" identity is a law enforcement officer looking for the truth. He wants to find out from the strange castle where hundreds of missing persons are suspected to have occurred half a month ago.

"The person who sent the distress letter should confirm the situation and carry out rescue operations.

Since he had no destination and could not tell the direction, he could only follow the map of the castle location stored in the folder of his notepad.

Within an hour, he was unlucky enough to encounter wind and snow, and the weather got worse and worse. It wasn't until he actually followed the route and found the so-called Earl's Castle that he finally believed that he seemed to have really encountered the novel.

Something that would only happen in the novel - he traveled through time and became a "law enforcement officer" in the 17th century.

Forced by the bad weather of the blizzard, he had no choice but to move into this castle, which he knew contained huge dangers.

However, there are still many places in this world that confuse Clark, especially in this castle. Whether it is the environment in this castle or the words and deeds of the characters here, he can feel deeply from some details.

Weird place.

The count's title is Bluebeard, and the image of Bluebeard is not unfamiliar to Clark, because this man is almost famous throughout the Western world as an evil villain in fairy tales, a perverted nobleman and a killer of women in fairy tales.

There is indeed an actual image in real history. The other party is actually a notorious child killer. In order to satisfy his desires, he learned a taboo magic trick that used the blood of children to activate it. For this reason, he abducted and killed many innocent people.

's children.

As an expert in anomalous folk culture, Clark has naturally studied the Blue Beard that existed in real history. But when he came to the castle today, he did not think that the Blue Beard he was traveling with would be the one he had studied in history.

figure.

Perhaps he traveled to a time and space that was completely different from his own world, but had a similar historical background?

Clark couldn't be sure, but judging from Bluebeard's various performances at the dinner, he did fit the image of a noble with impure character, and he did have the conditions to allow people who came into the castle to come in or out.

, and it is difficult for the news of their disappearance to spread.

All in all, Clark felt that he was destined to have trouble sleeping tonight... No, he might as well not sleep at all.

Even though he had been walking for almost a whole day, Clark still felt energetic. It was not that he was energetic, but an inexplicable feeling of fear that was constantly stimulating his sensitive nerves.

For a professional scholar of abnormal folk culture, if you want to do this job for a long time, the first requirement is to be sensitive to dangers, because you don’t know when you will come into contact with something that can damage your thinking, memetic interference, and cognition.

Destruction of taboo objects may cause you to lose your mind, fall into madness, or even lose your life if you are not careful.

But now, Clark feels that there is danger hidden everywhere in this castle.

He was wrapped in a quilt in the bedroom, sitting on the bedside, and kept waiting without feeling sleepy.

Listening to the sound of the blizzard outside that never calmed down, Clark watched the scale of the pocket watch pointer. Although the pocket watch pointer moved very slowly, for him who had no time recording tools around him, this pocket watch was much slower.

Still a useful time recording tool.

He roughly calculated the actual time by counting his heartbeats. After comparing the time on his pocket watch, he found that the actual time of one hour was equal to five minutes of the time on the pocket watch. The time ratio was about 12:1, which meant that he stayed in the castle today and changed

It took about two and a half hours to put on clothes, rest for a while, and then eat dinner.

No wonder tonight’s dinner was delicious but also quite painful. I didn’t expect it to take so long.

So, after ten minutes of waiting for the time on his pocket watch and almost two hours having passed in actual time, Clark felt that it should be midnight. It was in the dead of night that he decided to launch an investigation into the castle.

Knowing that there are weird and dangerous things in the castle, it is not advisable to sit back and wait for death. In that case, he will be no different from the stupid turkey on the farm.

He got dressed, took the candlestick in the room, quietly opened the door to the room, looked at the dark and silent corridor, as if he was the only one left in the world, and his heartbeat could not help but beat faster due to this hair-raising atmosphere.

stand up.

Clark still remembered going to the restaurant and the original path to the castle gate, but these places did not require him to investigate. He first started exploring the rooms near his guest bedroom, and every room that was unlocked and could be opened, he

They will quietly try to go in and look at the sign at the door of the room before entering.

It may sound a little weird to have a sign in your home, but after you understand that this is a huge castle, it is not difficult to understand.

He found that the rooms near him seemed to have "owners". Take the room diagonally across from him. The sign on the room opposite him said "Kander's Room". The door of the room could be pushed open, and there was indeed someone living in it.

traces of the past.

Opening the closet in the room, there were many sets of valet clothes inside. It seemed that Kander was a valet in the castle, probably a gardener, because he saw many books on planting flowers and plants on Kander's bookshelf.

.

Clark continued to rummage through the other party's bookshelf, and then when he flipped through one of the books about growing "perfume lilies", he accidentally discovered that the book cover was actually fake, and there was actually a light yellow box with the same thickness as the book cover inside.

.

Clark opened the box, and then almost lost his grip on the box, because there was a stone sculpture of a strange and harmful beast in the box, with a crouching, hateful but lifelike appearance.

Clark was quite familiar with the image of this harmful beast, because it was exactly the subject he was supposed to study before traveling through time - peering into the shadows of all things.
