Chapter 55:

In the evening, the entire castle was completely dark, especially the third floor.
When Ruan Bai walked in, a deep chill almost rushed towards her face, which made her shiver.
What made her more vigilant was that there were no lights on the third floor.
The entire corridor was dark and invisible. They could only see a path vaguely, but they didn't know the layout or how to go.
"Let me down," Xue Se waited for the place, struggling quickly, "I can go by myself!"
Ruan Bai felt that this little girl was also flirty and easy to hold. However, she was so embarrassed that she looked at Xuexue and her voice was agitated. Besides, there should be no danger now, so he put her down.
"Where are we going?" Ruan Bai asked immediately after Xue Se stood firm.
Nothing can be seen here, and Ruan Bai dare not walk around easily for a while.
After the last lyrics sounded, Ruan Bai had guessed the reason why Xue Se would break the cross over.
She probably guessed from the collection of books in the bookcase that what the couple did was related to demons and the like.
...So, Xue Se's upside-down cross has no special meaning at all, just to tell Ruan Bai that there is a "devil".
Ruan Bai has always been quite confident about her IQ, but sometimes this is also one of her shortcomings. For example, she loves to be smart, she is also prone to think too much, is misled by some information, and is bound by mediocrity.
She slowly realized that perhaps in the case of intellectual clearance, these ideological tasks should let the snow come.
She has more important things and can focus on other places.
When the weird black fog outside touched the entrance of the third floor, it was like an invisible film, and it couldn't get in.
After noticing this, Ruan Bai did not relax too much in his heart.
It is safe here, but it is extremely dangerous.
This black fog is extremely dangerous, but they dare not enter the third floor. Is this because the game has given them shelter?
No, it should be said that there is something on the third floor that can make them fearful.
Think about a good place. It may be something like the holy water from the Holy See that can exorcise demons.
To think about the worst, that is the third floor, there is something more terrifying than this black fog.
After learning that the couple actually wanted to summon the devil, Ruan Bai believed that the latter situation was 80%.
Otherwise, they have worked so hard to summon demons to do something, just want to try to see if there are demons in this world?
However, Ruan Bai thought so much, but in reality, it only took a second or two.
After asking Xue Se, she herself began to discover the details the game wanted to provide them.
She is not a person who is used to relying entirely on others, especially in escape games.
If Xue Se's opinion is the same as hers, she naturally has no opinion. If it is different, Ruan Bai can also discover her own shortcomings through communication.
After calming down and carefully observing this place, Ruan Bai discovered something strange that he hadn't noticed just now.
On the third floor, there is a slight smell.
This kind of smell is actually quite difficult to find, because many places in the castle are fragrant.
Especially on the third floor, perhaps it is the owner's elegant hobby. The fragrance is much stronger than that on the first and second floors, just like the fragrance that is popular in public toilets in some large shopping malls.
When Ruan Bai came up holding the snow color, he almost didn't sneeze out.
The smell was so tightly concealed by the fragrance that Ruan Bai sniffed it carefully, only to discover the strangeness.
The odor and the extremely strong fragrance are mixed together to form a strange taste that is hard to ignore.
"It smells," she said softly, "maybe something is wrong here."
No, it should be said that there is something wrong with the third floor.
The snow-colored facial features are not as sharp as Ruan Bai. When she just heard Ruan Bai speak, she was silent for a long time.
After hearing what Ruan Bai said, she raised her head and asked, "Can you be sure where the smell comes from?"
Ruan Bai nodded.
This is not difficult for her, it can even be said to be easy.
It’s just the question of Xue Lu. Could she go to the source of the smell?
Sure enough, Ruan Bai had just thought of this, and the next second Xue Se said: "Then let's go."
There must be something waiting for them where there is a smell, no matter whether it is dangerous or not, but it is worth visiting.
When Ruan Bai thought of this, he took the snow-colored hand and fumbled for the first step.
The few remaining players behind her did not hesitate and followed Ruan Bai closely.
Ruan Bai looked at the darkness around him, and originally thought about finding the system for a flashlight.
But after thinking about it, her system is not the same as others.
She had asked if Gu Chao before, and they rarely have daily things, including flashlights, in their system stores.
In the previous world, she didn't pay much attention, but here, Xue Lu is very smart and it is easy to find something wrong.
She is either afraid of snow, or always feels that if an abnormality is found, it will be difficult to deal with.
But then again, it seems that since the last world, the system of chatting with her from time to time has not appeared very much.
Except for saying a few words when posting the task, the rest of the time, as if he was dead, he refused to hum.
Ruan Bai couldn't tell whether it was good or bad. Maybe the system was afraid of affecting her play in the game.
While putting aside these distracting thoughts, she took the group of people and walked slowly towards the source of the smell.
The corridor on the third floor was more rugged than on the second floor. She walked through the corridor and after the living room, and finally stopped in front of a room.
And outside the door of this room, the smell became more and more obvious, and even the fragrance could not be suppressed.
Ruan Bai looked at the surrounding players and asked tentatively, "Then I opened the door?"
One of the players shook his head and said, "I'll find you a piece of wood."
They have a deep impression of Ruan Bai’s image of a weak woman. Although Ruan Bai can hold a twelve-year-old girl and run faster than them, in their impression, she is still a soft woman who will be bullied by the eldest lady. Steamed buns can even shed tears in the kitchen because of their feet.
What's more pitiful is that the male player she finally fell in love with, just disappeared, and probably died in the black mist. It was almost sad to listen to tears.
Now that only a few players are alive, it is a good thing to help each other and unite as one in order to survive.
Ruan Bai noticed their thoughts and didn't say anything. He obediently waited for the male player to break a thin wooden branch from the pot on the side to her.
Then, she unscrewed the doorknob and opened the door of the room with a wooden stick.
Patter...
The moment she opened the door, a strange sound suddenly rang in the door!
Ruan Bai's hands trembled slightly, but he saw more than a dozen dark, unknowing things squeezed out from the crack in the door!
She quickly let go of her hand and threw away the wooden sticks, and those strange things were also squeezed out, fluttering her wings frantically, and flew away to other places.
"It's a bat," someone said, "you should be able to go in and take a look."
So Ruan Bai took a deep breath and continued to open the door.
As the door was opened, the stench inside became more obvious.
Through the moonlight outside the open window, Ruan Bai narrowed his eyes and saw everything here clearly in front of him.
It was very similar to the secret room in the previous study, and the strange rune patterns were also painted everywhere here. Judging by the color, it was probably painted with blood.
In the corner, there are many corpses of bats and mice.
The stench was largely caused by the carcasses of these small animals, and the walls on both sides were densely packed with upside-down crosses.
In the corner, there are several upside-down jars. Unused blood flows out from the mouth of the jars and sprinkles on the floor. It condenses into black solid blocks. They say that things like the devil will like dirty things. The Forts will be so prepared, no exception.
Just why do you have to prepare two for the same room? Because Father Du has found the first one?
Ruan Bai didn't think too much, and continued to observe.
She walked along the blood stains on the ground and found that they should have been painted in a hurry.
It's just painted somewhere, maybe an accident happened, and the pattern is gone halfway through.
The place where the pattern disappeared was exactly where the jar with blood fell to the ground.
Ruan Bai walked slowly to the edge of the wall, and saw on the snow-white wall, there was a hasty sentence written with blood on his fingers
"Iregret...Itisnotadevil, butamoreterriblebeingthanadevil!"
[I regret it... it is not a demon, but a more terrifying existence than a demon! ]
A more terrifying existence than the devil?
And to be honest, this couple is scary enough... even they feel scary, so what did they call out?
When he saw this, Ruan Bai's heart jumped and he felt a little uneasy.
She took a few steps back quickly, wanting to leave here.
At this moment, they entered the door of the room and somehow closed it by themselves when there was no wind.
Accompanied by a sharp "squeak-yah-" sound, the wooden door buckled heavily on the door frame, making a violent crash.
Ruan Bai reacted the fastest. When there was a change on the other side of the door, she quickly turned back and ran to the door.
It's just that no matter how fast she moves, she can't close the door fast.
Nothing was too late, she could only watch the door shut.
And before the door was closed, there was a person standing outside.
Father Du, who disappeared for no reason before, stood faintly outside the door at this time, looking at everyone in the house coldly.
The moment the door closed, its dark eyes looked at Ruan Bai, and a creepy smile appeared on its pale stiff face.
Ruan Bai's heart sank instantly.
What made her more disturbed was that in the next second, a scream came from behind her.
Ruan Bai looked back and saw two figures appeared in the empty room.
It is a couple in the old castle.
They were still wearing the clothes they had before their lives, their faces were pale and expressionless, but their hands were covered with blood.
The couple who had turned into ghosts stood in the middle of the house, looking bitterly at each player who broke into here.
Ruan Bai had long been accustomed to the emergence of such emergencies. After discovering that there were two more ghosts here, although she was panicked, she quickly stabilized.
After all, there are too many such things...
Really want to count, Ruan Bai doesn't know how many times he has been raided by ghosts.
It was just a little bit that made her quiet heartbeat continue to accelerate.
The mermaid bell on her chest felt hot again for some reason.
