The light in the hallway of the castle came from the candlesticks in the hands of the two ghoul bodyguards. According to Lesa's instructions, they were heading to the kitchen to see how Chef Nelson was preparing the food.
"The game this time seems to be a lot longer than the previous ones."
"Mr. Varley must be very happy. His favorite game is Chessboard. It's a pity that his opponents can't last more than three hours."
They chatted casually.
Unknowingly, the two ghoul bodyguards arrived at the castle's kitchen. The door was ajar, and a trace of light came out from inside. However, the two ghoul bodyguards didn't hear any sound coming from the kitchen.
"Mr. Nelson, are you here? We are here to see if the food is ready. "
The bodyguards pushed open the kitchen door, but they didn't see Chef Nelson in the kitchen. However, the candles were lit, and there was some fresh meat on the table.
To be precise, it was a straight and slender thigh — a female's left leg.
"He should be planning to deal with the meat. Maybe he has something to do and left?" Ghoul Bodyguard A thought for a while and then walked to the table. He picked up a chef's knife and cut a piece of meat from the thawed left leg. He put it in his mouth and chewed slowly. "Hmm, it tastes good."
"This is food for the banquet." Ghoul Bodyguard B shook his head.
"What are you afraid of? It doesn't matter if a few pieces of meat are missing. Huh? What is this? Is that something you are stepping on? "
"Could it be Mr. Nelson's pet?" Ghoul Bodyguard B said subconsciously. They knew that Mr. Nelson had a habit of raising a large number of spiders and reptiles. However, when he raised his leg, he didn't see any of Mr. Nelson's' cute 'pets.
What they stepped on was a chef's hat.
"This isn't Mr. Nelson's …" Ghoul Bodyguard B subconsciously picked up the hat and saw that there was a trace of blood on it.
Ghoul Bodyguard B used his finger to touch some of the blood that hadn't dried yet. He rubbed it a few times and then put it to his nose. His expression changed slightly. "This is Mr. Nelson's smell. Why is he …"
The two ghoul bodyguards looked at each other. At the same time, a slight movement came from the kitchen. It was Mr. Nelson's room.
The two ghoul bodyguards silently nodded and then waved their hands … Instantly, weapons slid out of their sleeves … They were sharp blades that could be retracted.
At this moment, the two corpse ghost bodyguards slowly approached the door of the kitchen with their weapons … The sound inside suddenly stopped.
Because of this, they stopped in front of the door. After a while, Bodyguard A nodded and gently pushed the door open.
The door wasn't locked, so it opened with a push. The moment the door was opened, a black shadow rushed out!
The two ghoul bodyguards jumped in fright and quickly retreated, only to discover that the thing that pounced at them was a long, furry black spider leg. This was Mr. Narson's pet spider, and it was especially huge.
The two ghoul bodyguards obviously knew … They had even seen this pet spider before. Therefore, although they were shocked, they didn't panic too much.
"It's okay, it's just this spider going crazy. Close the door." Bodyguard A put down the weapon in his hand and shook his head, "Maybe it's hungry …"
However.
Before he could finish his words, his eyes instantly widened!
He saw that the chest of this ghoul bodyguard was pierced by something sharp … It looked like a sharpened branch!
And this branch directly extended out from the body of the huge pet spider inside — it didn't extend out. It pierced through the pet spider's body and then the ghoul bodyguard's body … In an instant!
The other ghoul bodyguard turned pale with fright. He wanted to do something … But at this moment, the kitchen door was instantly closed!
At the same time, dense roots spread out from the floor, walls, and ceiling of the kitchen … They were like countless poisonous snakes.
Ah … Ah —!!!
The kitchen door was closed, and at that moment, a scream came out.
But soon, the screams quieted down.
After an unknown amount of time, the kitchen door was opened again. Then, something grew out from the crack of the door … It began to cover the floor of the corridor, moving forward little by little.
…
…
Ah —!
Mr. Varley suddenly screamed. Then, he looked at the masters around the chessboard in the banquet hall with a smile — At this moment, he was telling a horror story that he had heard before.
The reason was that it was too quiet here. They couldn't talk freely while playing games … So, he said that he remembered this horror story and wanted to tell it to everyone.
"… After the female master finished screaming, she found that the person who stabbed her in the back was exactly the same as her! In this dark rainy night, only the lightning flashed through the blinds of the room. The female master not only saw herself, but also saw herself with a hideous smile. Compared to the stab wound, her heart is more fearful. "
This was a short story about a haunted house.
Mr. Varley smiled and looked at everyone, asking, "Do you think there are really two of us in the world?"
Miss Gong Linna chuckled at this time. It was her turn to throw the dice. While throwing the dice, she said indifferently, "I can't trust two of myself, but it's not impossible to have two of the same … Wally, don't you have two of the same girls at home?"
"Of course, Tiff and Tina are twins, and they are a rare conjoined twins." Mr. Varley smiled, "They are my precious property."
"Is that so?" Miss Gong Linna threw the dice and then arranged her servants to act. Then she said indifferently, "Lesa, I'm thirsty … Also, can you ask your master to shut up for a while and not continue this story that doesn't sound scary at all?"
The butler had to open a bottle of blood-red wine from the table next to him, but he didn't mention the latter half of Miss Gong Linna's words as if he didn't hear it.
As for Miss Maid, she began to tease the black dragon and the black hound on the ground. She couldn't throw the action points earlier. It seemed that she was quite bored, so she could only do this to relieve her boredom.
After the episode, the game continued. At this time, the dice came in front of the butler who had already poured the wine for Miss Gong Linna.
"Lesa, you should join me. You went out of the way." Mr. Varley shook his head at this time, "Did you forget again?"
"I … I don't think so." The butler shook his head at this time, but he couldn't help but hesitate when he saw that Nan Xiaonan's servant card didn't move toward the position of Mr. Varley's servant, Kade. "Maybe … there is."
"Forget it, I'll go find you." Mr. Varley said indifferently.
Mr. Varley then threw the dice, and then let the servant Kade move directly to the position of Nan Xiaonan's servant card.
The black dragon and the black hound on the ground suddenly turned over at this time, trying to sell something called cuteness, but Miss Maid just threw a glove to let it pick it up.
I'm so hungry …
…
…
[Chessboard].
Elf tribe, deep in the temple.
A drop of cold sweat quietly slipped from Dr. Görs's throat. Part of it was because of the pain in his shoulders, and part of it was naturally because of the fluctuation in his heart at this time.
[Mr. Varley] didn't know him. To be precise, the [Mr. Varley] in the temple didn't know him. But he was obviously [Mr. Varley] … Many years ago, after defeating the Grand Duke, he was kicked out of the house for more than a month.
If this [Mr. Varley] was the real Varley, then who was the Mr. Varley outside the [Chessboard]? Was it also Varley?
Two identical Varleys?
No, not two identical [Varleys], but two different [Varleys].
One was the Mr. Varley who only remembered defeating the Grand Duke, and the other was the Mr. Varley who had complete memory outside.
But … but how did he do it?
Was it a magic trick?
In the Magician Association in the [Inhuman Domain], there seemed to be rumors that this kind of magic was recorded.
"Your heart beat a lot faster. You are very nervous, right?" [Mr. Varley] looked at Görs at this time and suddenly said.
Dr. Görs calmed down and said, "Of course I'm a little nervous. After all, I saw you … So I was surprised and confused."
"I think so too." [Mr. Varley] smiled slightly and said, "From the moment you saw me, I knew what you were thinking. You must be very curious about why I should be outside the [Chessboard] as the master, but you saw me here."
"I really can't hide anything from you, sir." Dr. Görs showed a flattering smile at this time, "I wonder if sir can answer this question for me?"
"Of course, I like to answer people's doubts the most." [Mr. Varley] chuckled at this time, then clapped his hands lightly twice, "But, it has to be after the game."
"After the game?" Dr. Görs was stunned subconsciously, then his face changed dramatically in an instant!
He could feel that both his legs had been entangled by the roots on the ground. They were rapidly spreading upwards, and within a few breaths, his entire body was entangled!
Dr. Görs could even feel that these roots began to pierce into his body at this time. He felt that his body was being crazily absorbed at this time, blood, body fluid … all the body water!
"You … Mr. Varley, you can't kill me, I'm yours …"
At this moment, the roots even crawled directly into Dr. Görs' mouth and poured into his throat. He could only stare in pain, but he couldn't say anything.
At this time, [Mr. Wally] said calmly, "Since you are not my servant, it doesn't matter who you are. I'm not interested in your explanation."
But what [Mr. Varley] didn't expect was that what Mr. Görs desperately wanted to say at this time was not to explain anything, but to …
— You promised to always be by my side, to hide your trump card, to secretly attack and then turn the tables … Where is he?
— Where did he go?
— You lied to me again —!!!
Finally, Dr. Görs' palm froze in the air … and completely withered.
…
After that, the surrounding fibrous roots expanded again and soon drowned Dr. Gerls who had turned into a dried corpse … [Mr. Wali] returned to the blindfolded woman on the throne at this time.
He reached out and touched the blindfolded woman's cheek, raised his head and chuckled, "When are you going to bloom … my Goddess."
As he spoke, [Mr. Varley] kissed the blindfolded woman's lips madly.
…
…
Somewhere in the temple.
At this moment, a group of guards was walking over in an orderly manner. Soon, the group of guards stopped in front of a female elf, Mayfair.
The entire squad of elven guards called out in unison, "Vice-captain!"
Mayfair nodded expressionlessly and said indifferently, "Don't be nervous. I'm on leave today. I'm not on duty, and I'm not checking on your shift."
The patrol team leader nodded and immediately said, "Deputy Captain, what are you doing?"
"I have nothing to do. I'm just walking around." Mayfair said casually, "By the way, have you seen Captain Malik? I have something to ask him. "
"We just saw him again in the morning patrol." The team leader replied respectfully, "Perhaps he is preparing for the ritual in the evening. Deputy Captain, you can go to the front hall to find him."
"Got it. There's nothing else. You can continue your patrol." Mayfair waved her hand.
The patrolling elves saluted and left in unison. It was only after the patrolling elves had completely left that Mayfair changed his route.
Soon … this Elf lady came to the living area of the guards … in front of a room.
Mayfair looked around. Seeing that there was no one, she took out a key and opened the door. Then she walked into the room — the layout of the room was similar.
The only difference was that there was an ice-cold stone bed at the end of the room. There were even shackles on the bed.
In addition … in the corner of the room, there was a coffin made of luminous stone.
This was … Captain Malik's room.
…
…
"Captain, why did you call me here?"
At the back door of the temple … this was a place with few patrol routes — because it was close to the trial road.
"Nothing. I just want to discuss with you about the transfer." Captain Malik said indifferently.
"Transfer?" The member of the guard team was surprised. Then, his expression changed and he quickly said, "Captain, did I do something wrong … did you hear something? Don't listen to the nonsense outside. I didn't peek at Deputy Captain Mayfair taking a bath! "
"Who —!"
But at this time, Captain Malick's eyes narrowed, and he sharply looked at the pile of totem pillars that came out of the trial road.
The member of the guard team reacted quickly. Almost at the moment when Captain Malik shouted, he pulled out his weapon, turned around, and walked toward the pile of totem pillars. "Captain, I'll go and see … Ah —! You … "
Something pierced through his chest … He looked down and saw that it was Captain Malik's sword.
Puff —!
The member fell to the ground, but Captain Malik quickly caught him. Then, Captain Malik looked around and brought the corpse into the temple through the back door.
…
Suddenly, a figure slowly walked out of the totem pillars. Her face was full of shock, disbelief, anger … and even fear.
She gritted her teeth and walked up … She pushed open the back door of the temple and walked in.
