At this moment, the sunlight has completely disappeared from the window. If it weren't for the little bit of light reflected from the stone door, the grains would have almost hit it directly.

Facing this stone gate, he did not take direct action.

Because he was listening and feeling the subtle sounds coming from the air...

The next moment, he turned around, and the long sword in his hand had been thrust out accurately! As the blade pierced into the flesh, a poisonous poisonous spider let out a shrill scream, slammed its body into the stone door, and crawled staggeringly.

He went in. After walking a few steps, he finally fell to the ground and died suddenly.

Gu Li took an extra breath, walked into the room, stepped forward and pulled out the slender sword from the poisonous spider.

It was at this moment that the stone door behind him suddenly closed!

bump--!

With the sound of the door closing, Gu Liduo immediately regained his vigilance! He raised the sword in his hand, held the little girl against his chest, and looked at everything around him vigilantly.

Is this a noble room?

It doesn't look like anything special.

He carefully walked around the room, and even after confirming that there was no hidden danger behind the big bed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps it was because of Viscount Rich's decoration project. There were some candle holders on the table nearby. Gu Liduo put the little girl on the bed, threatened her slightly and then went up to light the candle.

As the light lit up, everything in this room was displayed in front of him.

"Uncle, have you seen my dad?"

In an instant, the long sword in Gu Liduo's hand suddenly aimed at the direction of the sound!

Under the candlelight, a delicate-looking ten-year-old girl wearing aristocratic clothing stood in front of him very abruptly.

The little girl's appearance was so sudden that Gu Liduo instinctively took two steps back and asked warily: "Who are you!"

The little aristocratic girl had the purest smile on her face. She raised the hem of her wavy skirt and walked towards Gu Liduo without fear: "Uncle, have you seen my dad? If you haven't seen it,

If so, can you accompany me to look for it?"

She came over.

He behaves elegantly, as if he had received a very good aristocratic education.

But when the girl gradually got closer to Gu Liduo, suddenly! A piece of her white and smooth skin suddenly fell off, revealing the slowly beating red muscles underneath!

"Have you seen my dad? Come with me and look for him together, okay?"

The closer she got, the more skin peeled off the little girl's face, hands, and body! Her gorgeous aristocratic dress also began to turn into ashes as the skin peeled off, and gradually became more and more tattered!

Gu Liduo, who knew something was wrong, no longer hesitated, and immediately stabbed the girl who was already like a skeleton with the sword in his hand! But the moment the sword blade thrust out, the girl's figure suddenly disappeared!

next moment……

"Dad...please accompany me to find dad, okay?"

Bear--!

The flames came from nowhere and instantly enveloped every corner of the room!

Gu Liduo, who was burned by the sudden flames, couldn't help but scream in pain! He rushed towards the door with all his strength, but the huge stone door seemed to be completely sealed at this moment. No matter how he tried

Push and pull, all without even moving!

He screamed wildly and banged the door hard. He watched helplessly as the flames climbed onto his clothes and eroded every inch of his skin! For some reason, he could clearly see his hands and feet.

Constantly being burned in the flames!

He watched his skin shed due to the high temperature, watched the muscles on his arms mature and fall off due to the flames, and watched his bones slowly change from white to burnt black. Everything happened before his eyes.

, but he couldn't escape from this terrible prison of flames!

"Let me out!!! Let me out quickly——!!!"

"Why are you leaving? It's me, isn't it good enough?"

Gu Liduo turned his head suddenly and saw a makeup mirror.

The self in the mirror has been burned away of all the skin and muscles, but under the "protection" of the bones, his internal organs are still intact!

He could clearly see his beating heart through his ribs, as well as a lot of crooked intestines and many organs in his abdomen that he couldn't name.

At this moment, a pair of flawless white hands stretched out from his back and gently hugged Gu Liduo's body with only the skeleton and internal organs left. The face was completely covered by hair.

His face... also slowly poked his head out from behind himself in the mirror.

"Stay, okay? Stay with me and let me accompany you until the end of time."

The flames danced, blowing the hair away, revealing a face underneath that looked like a melted candle. Its facial features were constantly melting in the strong flames, and one of its eyes even dripped onto the grain due to the high temperature.

On Duo's shoulders, slowly passing through the gaps in the bones, the huge eyes slowly, slowly, slid towards his beating heart...

"Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

————

"Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Mermaid Song and the two imperial soldiers who were carefully exploring the castle suddenly heard this heart-wrenching roar.

The two soldiers immediately remained vigilant, holding swords in both hands and facing two different aisles to prevent accidents.

Arrow immediately stood behind Brad's shield, and the entire Mermaid Song formed a triangle to protect Arrow and the crowd who came behind him.

The screams continued to collide in the castle, and after a long time, they slowly disappeared.

Everyone continued to be vigilant and waited until it was confirmed that there was nothing unusual. Ai Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said to Viscount Rich, who was following behind him: "Your Excellency, it is too dangerous here. You should take your people here with you."

Can you stay outside the castle? We will come out and report to you after we deal with the problem here."

Viscount Rich's face was filled with fear, but even so, the nobleman still stubbornly poked his head out from behind the bodyguard, trembling, and stubbornly shouted: "Are you kidding me?

You...you...just burned my castle once not long ago! And then...you didn't clean it up! Why...why should I believe you? I want...I want to see my castle with my own eyes! Don't even think about it!

Lie to me again! Don’t even think about it!”

Since it doesn't make sense, there's nothing Arrow can do about it. Look at the people behind him. In addition to his own bodyguards, Viscount Rich also brought a dozen brave people. So we can only hope that these people

The Viscount must have been thorough enough to protect him.

"Nothing seems to be unusual, let's continue upward." Whiskey relaxed his vigilance slightly and turned around and said, "President Arrow, you are familiar with this castle. What is the situation up there? Is there a suitable place for an ambush? This voice sounds like that

There are many grains for the reader, is it possible that something will happen to him?"

Aero's nerves couldn't help but twitch.

He recalled the painting he saw in the castle that day and the tragic death of the two soldiers. After thinking about it, he said: "To be honest, I don't know what the problem is here. But the Warcraft is indeed

It's been cleaned up. But... we'd better be more cautious."

Since Ai Luo has said so, there is nothing to argue with.

The team continued to move upwards, still the same as before, with two Imperial Army soldiers standing in the front row, with the Mermaid Song Guild in the middle, and behind them were the bustling group of people from Reach, holding various hoes and sickles, following tremblingly.

The upward speed is very slow.

But even if it is very slow, it cannot stop it from going on forever.

Along the way, Whiskey and Dacron carefully searched every room they saw along the way, just in case the bard was hiding in a dark corner, waiting for an opportunity to escape or attack.

Searching in detail like this will not make people feel too time-consuming. On the contrary, it is gradually lifting everyone's spirits.

Gradually, gradually... under Ai Luo's guidance, a group of people finally arrived at the highest level of the castle and stood outside the stone door.

"Stop."

Cream came from behind and ordered the team to stop.

He held the torch and squatted down, watching the poisonous spider bodily fluids splashing on the ground, and watching the fluids spreading behind the stone door.

The thief turned around and looked at Airl behind him.

Ai Luo took a deep breath and nodded.

Seeing this, Ji Lian adjusted the fang dagger in his hand, nodded at the two warriors, and retreated behind them, while pulling out a flying knife and holding it in his hand.

Whiskey and Polyester glanced at each other, maintaining their strength and preparing to fight...

"Gu Li Duo Reader! You have no way to escape now! I advise you to immediately put down your weapons, put down your hostages, and come out obediently! In this case, we can also plead with the court and give you a lighter sentence!"

Dacron said hello again and waited.

But for a long time, there was no sound from behind the stone door. The two soldiers looked at each other again, one on each side, maintaining a vigilant posture, and gently pushed open the two stone doors...

"Ahaha~~! You are so beautiful~~~! It's so cool~~~~! Take me to play with you? Okay, okay~~! Hahahaha~~~!"

As soon as the stone door was pushed open, an obviously distorted voice popped out from inside.

Immediately afterwards, a scene that even Ai Luo was extremely surprised appeared in front of him without any reservation.

Grain Duo·Singer, former president of the Singing Bird Guild.

This bard with the strength of the president is now dancing in the middle of the room with his lower body naked and his face covered in snot and saliva.

His rapier had long been thrown aside, and there was also a pair of trousers that seemed to have been torn to pieces by himself. With the flickering of candlelight in the room, this guy kept twisting his hands and feet, jumping here and there.

Doing a very weird dance.

"Haha~~! Are you here? Let's go home for dinner~~~! My husband is going home for dinner, or should I take a bath? Or should I eat first~~~?"

This guy seemed to be being strangled by the neck, desperately speaking these disgusting words in a high-pitched and thin voice. At the same time, he kept twisting towards the door, and was about to face the whiskey and polyester.

At that moment, he suddenly opened his arms and flew over everyone's heads as if being pulled by something!

Polyester: "What the hell is this guy doing?"

Along with the twisted and crazy laughter, the grain-rich figure quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes. Ai Luo looked at the open door of the room and the corpse of the poisonous spider on the ground, gritted his teeth and rushed in.

Soon, he found the little girl with her eyes closed on the big bed.

Ai Luo quickly picked her up and reached out to touch her forehead and breath...

Huh, luckily, he's still alive, he just has a fever.

After confirming that the hostages were safe, Ai Luo didn't want to stay in this room for another second! He immediately turned around and rushed out of the room. The moment his footsteps left the door, the two stone doors once again seemed to have some kind of induction.

Close it, completely blocking out the candlelight inside.

"Daughter! My daughter!"

The little girl's mother also followed her into the Neuschwanstein Castle. When she saw Airl holding her child in his hands, she immediately rushed over anxiously.

Arrow handed the little girl to her mother's arms, and the little girl woke up immediately after touching her mother's arms. When she saw her mother, she immediately burst into tears.

Seeing that the child was okay, Ai Luo put down the huge stone in his heart. But when he saw that whiskey and polyester were already chasing Gu Liduo towards the corridor again, he thought about it and made up his mind to catch up.

"Let's keep chasing!"

But at the moment when Ai Luo gave the order, Ji Lian seemed a little hesitant. He turned his head and looked at the stone door again, and said: "President, is it necessary? Now that the hostages have been rescued, we still lead everyone

Do you want to leave this castle immediately? I always feel uncomfortable here..."

"You...what do you mean?! What do you mean my Swan Castle makes you feel uncomfortable?! Do you think my castle can't enter your eyes?! Let me tell you! Even if you, a little thief like you, steal for the rest of your life,

, it’s impossible for anyone to buy this castle like me!”

The one who raised his voice to object now was naturally the Viscount Rich. It looked like he also wanted to chase him. After all, there was a kidnapper running around in his castle, and he would not feel at ease until he was actually caught.

As for Ai Luo, he also has the mentality of wanting to see the final outcome of Gu Liduo.

As for why...

He, hoping for more grains... will die.

Ever since he decided to confront the bard head-on, the idea of ​​hoping that he would die has been lingering in Arrow's mind.

Throughout this day and night, Ai Luo also knew very clearly how terrible his idea was.

He never knew that when a person wishes for the death of another person, his obsession can be so strong!

When this idea first started, he thought it was just a stress defense reaction caused by his rights being violated.

But now after so much time, he had to admit that the desire to see the grains die was so deep-rooted that it was not an impulsive thought at all.

Moreover... wishing a person to die, and watching that person die step by step, Ai Luo asked himself that this did not cause him much psychological burden.

reason?

Of course he knows the reason.

The reason is this guy's mouth.

If he dies, then he can completely shut up about his secrets.

Otherwise, even if he has deceived these townspeople and guild members now, what will happen if he continues to talk loudly when he is escorted to the royal capital for trial?

There is no way for me to follow him all the way to the rest of his prison life, nor to refute each one of them. This also means that the possibility of his secret being exposed will greatly increase!

At that time, let alone the agreement of one thousand gold coins in three years, whether I can work until the end of this year is still a question.

so……

"I'm very worried about Gu Liduo. Although he is not good for me, after all, he was once a member of our guild. I hope to see him be caught safely and face trial."

(I hope to see his body, to see that he can no longer speak, to see that all the secrets in his heart are buried in darkness, that even his soul is sealed forever and can never speak a word again.

.)

Everyone looked at the sincere look on Ai Luo's face. Brad smiled and patted Cream on the shoulder. Cream could only smile bitterly and said, "Well, who let us deal with such a kind-hearted person?"

Where is the president? If you want to go, then we will go with you."

Ai Luo looked at everyone in the guild gratefully and immediately turned around and ran after the two Imperial soldiers.

Brad and others followed, but after running a few steps, Coco turned around and found that the Viscount had followed him. Since he wanted to follow so much, Coco was too lazy to say anything, so let him follow.

————

Different from the way up just now, this time, the group of people chased grains all the way down.

Whiskey and Dacron were a little surprised, because they found that the current movement method with more grains seemed more and more confusing and elusive.

In fact, there was no pattern to his movements at all. His whole body was shaking constantly, and the joints of his hands and feet would twist in completely different directions, allowing him to evade the pursuit of the two men at various incredible angles.

Ai Luo and others from behind also caught up. Seeing that the exit was in front of them, Ai Luo couldn't help shouting: "Block the exit first!"

When Whiskey heard the shout, he immediately stopped chasing Gu Liduo and turned around to block the only exit.

But Grain Duo had no intention of continuing towards the exit. He continued to dance a strange dance, dealing with the polyester. After a moment, the bard made a sharp and piercing cry while running towards the stone on the first floor.

Below the quality ladder.

There, Gu Liduo opened a door only the size of a halfling, as if he was familiar with the road, and then fell down with his head facing down.

This scene happened so fast that no one could react at once.

But soon, Ai Luo immediately shouted: "Exit! There should be a basement entrance and exit here?! He wants to escape through this basement entrance and exit!"

Without Arrow's further reminder, Dacron was the first to step forward and open the door. He remained vigilant and waited until the whiskey came, then lit the torch and threw it towards the door.

The torch fell, and there seemed to be a pit almost three meters high.

But the flame of the torch only lit up for a short while and then went out. I don't know how big it is inside, and there is no grain-rich figure illuminated.

Polyester looked inside and said to Whiskey: "Let's go down and have a look, but there may be traps inside. Be careful."

Whiskey nodded, then turned to look at Arrow and others, and finally focused his attention on Viscount Rich behind him and said, "Sir, may I ask where this underground passage leads to?"

"underground tunnel?"

Viscount Rich looked a little confused. He touched the back of his head and said——

"I don't know. When I bought this castle, no one told me that there was an underground passage. When I was renovating it some time ago, no one told me what kind of passage there was..."

Whiskey is a little helpless, but now he can only prepare himself to enter this underground pit...

"Wow------!!!"

Suddenly! The screams broke into everyone's eardrums again!

Perhaps because of the narrow underground passage, Ai Luo immediately covered his ears, fearing that his eardrums would be shattered by the scream!

Looking up, relying on the light from the torches in everyone's hands, a small area of ​​light appeared in the pit. In this small area of ​​light, there were many grains that jumped in like crazy just now.

Break out of the darkness again!

It was as if he had seen something extremely terrifying on his face. He kept waving his hands towards the crowd and shouted: "Help! Help me! Please help me quickly!"

He stood in the light formed by the torch.

But compared to the darkness in the passage, these lights seemed so insignificant.

Before Ai Luo and others could react, the next moment, a certain force in the darkness suddenly grabbed the grainy foot and dragged him suddenly into the darkness!

The bard screamed loudly, and he clawed the ground with both hands, his nails digging hard into the stones on the ground, causing blood to pour out of the cover in an instant.

His face was full of panic, and his hands were desperately grabbing for anything he could grab.

He shouted loudly for help, turned around and stepped on the thing dragging him from the darkness as if in a desperate struggle.

"Help! Let me go! Let me go! I don't want... I don't want this! Please help me! Ariel... Ariel, I was wrong! I can give you anything you want! Please now

Help me! Help me——!!!”

Amidst his heart-rending cry for help, a black shadow like a tentacle poked out from the darkness. Under the weak light of the fire, the tentacle shadow plunged into the grain-rich grain at a lightning speed.

The mouth crushed and dislocated his jaw, and then ejected from the back of his head!

With the blood splashing at this moment, the bard finally no longer struggled any more.

He just opened his eyes, with the unknown dark substance still stuffed in his mouth, like a skewer of barbecue, being slowly, slowly...

Drag into that darkness.

bump--!

The half-length door suddenly closed automatically.
Chapter completed!
