After thinking about it, Shiruda decided not to make contact with Ghost Rider for now.
As for this special mirror game — yes, in Shiruda's opinion, this was a strange little game — she didn't let her guard down just because she had obtained the ritual materials and sacrifices.
There hadn't been any living people to communicate with in the Black Forest, so she had been able to relax a little. But in the castle, she could see from the floor plan that there were at least thirty matchstick figures.
She didn't know if these matchstick figures were dangerous or not. But … they were definitely more threatening than the dead things outside.
If the matchstick figures were really a threat, then Ghost Rider, as the "master" of this castle, should be the most dangerous one.
So, even if she wanted to make contact, she definitely couldn't be at the front.
Thinking this, Shiruda decided to search some ordinary rooms first.
If possible, she would first make contact with some ordinary matchstick figures, and after confirming that there was no danger, she would finally make contact with Ghost Rider.
As for which rooms to search first? Shiruda thought for a moment and decided to start with the rooms at the edge.
For example, she would start with the attendant's room, the maid's room, the dressing room, and the bathroom at the outermost edge of the castle.
After making her decision, Shiruda didn't delay. As she hurried on her way outside, she continued to control the crystal figures to move left and right on the game screen.
Before long, Shiruda arrived at her first target.
The attendant's room.
There was no one in the attendant's room, but there were two figures with black and white bows standing very close to the door.
When Shiruda got closer, she realized that the two figures were talking.
However, they seemed to be whispering. The screen didn't show what they were talking about, and only a few words floated out occasionally, as if they were hinting at something.
"The butler … is a traitor …"
"Killing him … would be against the rules …"
Shiruda didn't know what they were talking about, but from the few words that floated out, it seemed that they were silently criticizing the butler? Was it the butler in the hall?
Could it be that this butler wasn't a good person?
If he wasn't a good person, how would he appear in this mirror game? Would they have to control the crystal matchstick figures to fight him? Or was there another way to show it?
She had a lot of questions in her heart. She wanted to ask the two bow-tied people at the door in a low voice.
But when they saw Shiruda approach, they immediately stopped talking.
Instead of answering Siluda's question, he bowed and made an "inviting" gesture in the direction of the attendant's room.
"Would you like to visit our room? Please come in. "
No matter what Shiruda said, they didn't answer. They only made an inviting gesture and let Shiruda enter the attendant's room.
The two little attendants, one on the left and one on the right, were standing in front of the door. At the same time, they bent down and made an inviting gesture. This scene inexplicably made Shiluda feel strange.
"Should I go in?" Shiluda thought to herself.
From the cross-sectional view, there was indeed a glowing prop in the servant's room. It should be a ritual offering that could be stored.
But did he really have to go in? Was he going to take the sacrificial offering in front of the two attendants?
She always felt that these two servants were very strange, and their previous words seemed to be some kind of clue?
Perhaps, he needed to collect these clues to solve some of the puzzles in the castle? Looking for some hidden truth?
The reason Shiluda thought in this direction was because she had seen some human detective stories from Naludo. In these stories, there was bound to be a plot of collecting clues to gradually restore the truth.
And the clues in the stories were never directly given to the protagonist. Instead, they liked to give some vague hints, asking the protagonist to think about it by herself, to follow the clues, to search for the clues...
This was a bit like the words of the two little attendants just now.
They could clearly have a complete conversation, but the screen only showed some key words. Perhaps, they wanted her to collect clues to solve the puzzles in the castle?
Many thoughts flashed through Shiluda's mind, but these were actually not things that could be done overnight.
Now, there was another thing that needed to be solved: Should she enter the attendant's room?
In the end, Shiluda chose to follow her inner thoughts: temporarily give up exploring the attendant's room.
She felt that there was something wrong with these two little attendants, so it was better not to go in front of them.
In the Gloomy Mirror, it was better to be careful.
Although the mirror game seemed to have nothing to do with the Gloomy Mirror, but... who knew?
She didn't answer the two little attendants. Instead, she bypassed them and walked towards the corner ahead.
Shiluda's departure seemed to make the two little attendants a little disappointed.
They straightened up and continued to talk together.
"Unfortunately... it's your fault..."
"Don't be too solicitous..."
These words were also seen by Shiluda.
When she saw these words, Shiluda understood that her choice should be right. These two little attendants probably had bad intentions. Otherwise, why would they feel that it was a pity that she didn't go in?
Maybe they planned to lock the door as soon as she went in...
Shiluda stood at the corner, wanting to continue listening to their conversation to see if she could get more information.
Unfortunately... although they were talking close, no new words appeared on the screen.
Shiluda could only give up for the time being. She went around the corner and went to the next place.
In front of her was the maid's room.
Next to the maid's room was an exquisite bedroom, which should belong to a young master of the castle. From the cross-sectional view, it was decorated very feminine.
There were also many glowing props inside.
Unfortunately, this bedroom was unoccupied and locked. She couldn't enter it.
The maid's room was not locked, but there was a maid in a black and white dress, pacing inside the room.
Opposite the maid's room was a dressing room and a washroom. Neither room had a door, so she could enter directly. There was no one in the dressing room, and there was a little matchstick figure with fashionable hair in the washroom.
Which room should she choose now?
The maid's room, the dressing room, or the washroom?
For a moment, Shiluda didn't know what decision to make. It should be better to go to the dressing room. After all, there was no one there.
But she had to come into contact with people eventually. Otherwise, how could she find clues? How could she "confront" Ghost Rider?
After thinking for a moment, Shiluda still walked to the maid's room.
However, she didn't enter the maid's room immediately. Instead, she stopped at the door, wanting to hear if the maid inside could speak.
As it turned out, the walls had no ears.
Shiluda stood there for a long time, but didn't hear anything inside.
However, Shiluda realized that the maid seemed to sense that she was standing outside the door. She had been pacing around the room, but suddenly stopped and came to the door. She stood there, as if waiting for her to enter.
Separated only by a door, the crystal matchstick figure and the little maid stood opposite each other.
This feeling was very strange and strange.
The little maid also had a fruit basket in her hands. There were many fruits in it, and one of them was even glowing. Clearly, it was a ritual item that could be obtained in reality.
The maid picked out the glowing fruit from the basket, held it in her hand, and stood at the door.
She seemed to be looking forward to Shiluda coming in.
But at that moment, Shiluda didn't want to enter.
Judging from the maid's actions, she seemed to have discovered her and knew her purpose. Otherwise, she wouldn't have specially picked out the glowing fruit and held it in her hand.
It looked like it was prepared for her.
The maid's initiative made Shiluda very uncomfortable. There must be something fishy going on here for no reason.
Thinking this, Shiluda decided to play it safe.
She decided not to go to the maid's room first, but to the empty dressing room.
Not only was there no one in the dressing room, but there was also no door, so it wouldn't be locked for no reason.
Therefore, this was definitely the safest exploration area at the moment.
Shiluda turned around and left the maid's room, stepping into the dressing room.
Throughout the entire process, Shiluda had been observing the maid in the maid's room. When she left, the maid was clearly disappointed. She paced around the door for a few steps and put away the fruit basket.
"Sure enough, the fruit basket was prepared for me." Shiluda thought to herself. She was definitely up to no good.
Shiluda was very glad that she didn't enter the maid's room and chose the dressing room.
But she didn't notice that just after she entered the dressing room, the matchstick man with trendy hair in the bathroom suddenly turned and faced the dressing room.
Because the matchstick man only turned and didn't move, Shiluda ignored this small detail.
After Shiluda entered the dressing room, she immediately found a human head on the dressing table.
This was a fake head, specially used to display a wig. At this time, the fake head had a head of black fake waterfall hair.
The reason why Shiluda noticed this wig was that it was emitting a faint brilliance. It was obviously a ritual item that could be taken out from the mirror game.
Shiluda immediately went to the dressing table and prepared to put away the wig.
However, just as Shiluda's finger tapped on the screen and wanted to put away the wig, because behind the wig was the dressing mirror, she accidentally tapped on the mirror.
In the center of the screen, a row of words immediately floated out.
"The design of the wig will be carried out. The design of the wig will increase the sacrificial effect and the sacrificial level according to the design level. "
Along with the appearance of this typesetting.
The screen began to switch, from the overhead view to the head-up view.
In the center of the screen was the dressing mirror, and in front of the mirror was the black wig.
"So, it's going to be designed for the wig?" Shiluda looked at the words on the screen, her heart full of doubts.
She stretched out her finger and gently stroked the wig.
A new row of hair slid down from the forehead of the wig, adding a neat fringe to the black waterfall hair that was parted in the middle.
"So it's designed like this?" Shiluda was stunned, and some interest appeared in her eyes.
Shiluda started a new operation on the wig. She curled the hair, pulled the hair tail, and then used the hair dye on the side of the mirror to dye the wig into a crystal clear rainbow color.
In just a short minute, the previous black waterfall hair turned into a dreamy rainbow fluffy curl.
Shiluda tapped on the side of the mirror.
"Your design has taken shape. Do you want to grade it? "
There were two choices below: "Yes"/"No".
Shiluda tapped "Yes".
After a while, new words floated on the screen: "Your design score is 31. The evaluation is: You are a thirteen-year-old girl with a poetic dream in her heart. "
"Do you want to save this design? After saving, the sacrificial effect and the sacrificial level will be increased according to the evaluation. "
"Yes"/"No"
Shiluda looked at the score of 31 and then looked at the evaluation of "You are a thirteen-year-old girl with a poetic dream in her heart." She was speechless.
She was hundreds of years old. How could she be evaluated as a thirteen-year-old girl? Just because she designed a rainbow fluffy curl?
Shiluda was a little angry.
She chose "No" and then started the design again.
In the next half an hour, Shiluda made various designs on the hairstyle, but all the evaluations were below 30.
On the contrary, the highest was the first time they had met.
Shiluda was tired. She felt that she didn't have the talent to design makeup, so she simply returned to the original rainbow fluffy curl.
A familiar row of words appeared on the screen: "Do you want to save this design? After saving, the sacrificial effect and the sacrificial level will be increased according to the evaluation. "
This time, Shiluda finally clicked "Yes".
After Shiluda clicked "Yes", a large number of text messages appeared.
Among them, there was information about the sacrificial level for the makeup and hair.
But there were also some other unknown messages. For example:
"You used the makeup artist, Ai Dehua's dressing table. "
"Ai Dehua didn't agree to use the dressing table for free, so you have to pay the corresponding fee. "
"After inspection, you have no payment items on you. A new evaluation will be conducted." "
"Evaluation in progress …"
Shiluda: "???"
This dressing table has an owner? So I have to pay for using the dressing table?
But why didn't she receive such a notification when she was outside and looted countless sacrificial items?
Moreover, there was no one in this dressing room. Where did this Ai Dehua come from?
Shiluda stared at the row of "Evaluation in progress" on the screen and felt that she had been cheated …
A few seconds later.
New words appeared on the screen: "After evaluation, you meet the requirements for the Spirit Transfer Ceremony. You are about to enter the Spirit Transfer Ceremony to pay for the use of the dressing table. "
"If you can pay the outstanding fee within one minute, you can cancel the Spirit Transfer Ceremony. "
"Countdown: 60 seconds"
When the countdown appeared, Shiluda felt an unprecedented sense of danger enveloping her.
She didn't know what the "Spirit Transfer Ceremony" was, but she had a premonition that once she entered the Spirit Transfer Ceremony, she would be no different from death!
But now, where was she going to pay for it?
Shiluda took out the sacrificial items she found earlier and tried to stuff them back into the mirror, but the mirror game didn't accept them.
When the countdown reached 20 seconds …
Shiluda understood that she couldn't escape.
At the last moment, Shiluda took out Granny Dragon Crow's scale from her space and separated it into a crystal to record the entire process of her obtaining the mirror game.
The crystal melted into the scale.
At the same time, the countdown ended.
Shiluda slowly closed her eyes.
The world spun around her.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a familiar room … It was the dressing room from before.
Previously, she was looking inside from the outside.
But now, she entered the mirror game and became a person in the dressing room.
She raised her head and looked at the dressing table.
In the dressing table, there was a man with trendy hair.
His face was unfamiliar, Shiluda had never seen him before. But his trendy hairstyle reminded Shiluda that he was the man with the trendy hair in the bathroom.
"So, I turned into him? Then where did he go? And where is my body? "
Shiluda subconsciously raised her head.
Above her was the ceiling, but she could vaguely see the sky outside through the ceiling, as well as a human face in the sky.
That huge human face was her own face.
But at this time, "her" eyes had become … another person.
