Chapter 126 Frey seems to want to fast forward again
The ancient stone walls seem to absorb the glimmer of light from the top of the mountain.
Many corners of this castle are full of shadows, and unknown secrets may be hidden behind every door.
The cold stone walls and dim corridors seemed to be filled with an even colder atmosphere under the influence of murderous intent.
The group of people walked through the corridors of the castle while maintaining a subtle distance.
Looking out the window, all you can see is the looming outline of the misty forest and valley, everything is hazy and mysterious.
Since the two betrayers who are members of the blood clan can only borrow the power of the blood master when he wakes up, the habit of the blood clan is to seal themselves in a safe place during the day and cut off the light and fall into a deep sleep, only to wake up at night. .
So the betrayer only has an opportunity to use the unknown and terrifying count's power every night.
On the first day of the five-day killing game, the challenger side, with no one killed yet, was at its peak. The two betrayers did not dare to directly start 2 vs. 10 when they were unable to use the blood master function.
Instead, he wisely pretended to be a normal challenger.
The exploration strategy during the day naturally became everyone gathering together and not leaving each other's sight.
In this way, the betrayers need to follow the collective action and can neither commit crimes nor complete their own mission goals during the day.
Similarly, it can also greatly slow down the progress of the betrayer's mission.
Going up from the stone staircase in the church hall, passing through the winding corridor and entering the attic-style landing on the second floor, you can continue to clearly see the hall on the base floor. Walking inside, except for three locked rooms There are huge bedrooms and several bathrooms and storage rooms. The most eye-catching one is a double-story library, which leads directly from the second floor of the castle to the third floor.
The library is made of dark mahogany, with tall, ornately carved bookshelves extending along the walls to the ceiling. The shelves are filled with various ancient books from the Horning Empire, including ancient manuscripts and precious maps. There is a writing sheet in the middle. On the table, there is a quill of an unknown bird and an inkstand. Apparently this was once the place where the owner of the castle, Sir Caligula, read books and worked.
However, Frey did not ask everyone to spend a lot of time in the library looking through ancient books to look for clues. He just led everyone along the spiral staircase in the library to the third floor of the castle.
Along the way from the third floor to the fifth floor, in addition to the three fixed closed bedrooms on each floor, there are also the private bedroom of the castle owner Sir Caligula, the castle's conference room, iron casting room, weapons depot, textile room, and painting studio. , pharmacy, tower and more.
There are many places in the castle rooms that you pass along the way that look like you can find clues.
But the detective had no idea.
He seemed to have seen through the interference and acted in a straight line only for the most efficient plan that he was convinced of.
After a three-hour exploration of the entire castle interior, the challenger finally confirmed that the five-story castle building was covered with solid magic spells and could withstand extremely powerful attacks, especially in the bedroom. It is a separately strengthened barrier.
There are three safe bedrooms on each floor from the second to fifth floors, for a total of twelve safe bedrooms. Each challenger already has a magic key to open the door and window of the corresponding room, which is in their own pocket.
At this point, the mechanism of this shadow world has become clearer.
At night, when the Blood Lord wakes up and the traitors can use their powers, everyone gathered together will most likely be killed by two traitors in one go.
So the strategy for the night is obviously to separate everyone and hide in a safe bedroom.
Even if there are attack types or spell-breaking types in the vampire's power that can break through the bedroom's protection, due to the restriction that the power can only be borrowed once a day, and considering the absolute rationality that the shadow world has always maintained, it should only be able to break through one or two in a night. A safe bedroom.
The more concentrated you live, the greater the probability of being killed by multiple challengers in one night. The more spread out you live, the fewer deaths you may experience that night.
If the betrayers cannot be caught as soon as possible, five days may be enough for two betrayers to kill all the other challengers.
The residents corresponding to each bedroom were already in the public domain before the start of the Shadow World. Challengers of important identities are particularly dangerous, especially detectives.
The only way to avoid danger is to live in a room with a trusted challenger.
The challenger may have to protect the detective even if he sacrifices himself, and must prevent the betrayer from directly killing the detective on the first night. The sooner the detective dies, the more this shadow world will tilt towards the victory of the betrayer!
Correspondingly, if you can reasonably mislead the betrayer or perform a perfect psychological game, it is possible for the betrayer to lose everything overnight!
At this moment, everyone who had finished investigating the internal structure of the castle, led by Frey, went downstairs all the way back to the basic level.
Frey went to the kitchen and food storage to find some portable food, put it into the cross-body leather bag he found upstairs, and then went to the wine cellar to get a few bottles of sweet white wine.
The time is almost nine o'clock in the morning.
In front of the door leafs on both sides, light flows freely between the window lattice and passes through the colorful glass on the dome, making the originally slightly gloomy interior of the building bright and dark.
Frey opened the huge door, and everyone followed him, walking out of this historic castle from the basic level for the first time. Suddenly, the strong sunlight made them feel an impact they had never experienced before.
They finally saw the whole picture of the castle in the clouds.
Stepping out of the gate, looking back, the relief decoration on the ancient castle's outer wall is very clear in the morning light. The limestone walls are clearly separated from the surrounding green forest. The suspended platform and spire on the top floor look particularly spectacular under the clouds and mist.
Now what Frey instructs everyone to do is to go to the cliff together to confirm whether the information of the [Geographer] and [Lawyer] is correct.
If the information is true.
The identities of two people will become more credible.
The castle is surrounded by mountains, rivers and trees. It is lush everywhere, and it is even more gloomy in the bleak autumn.
Twelve figures walked through the forest, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
The trees in the mist looked like strange shadows, and the shallow stream turned into a mysterious passage that disappeared into the mist.
They knew that the really important thing on this trip was to confirm the condition of the bridge.
It only took five minutes for everyone to reach the cliff in the direction accurately described by the [Geographer].
The sight in front of me was terrifying. The road to the city-state was blocked by a huge cliff.
Even if the sight has not touched the edge, the 800-meter-high and hundreds-meter-wide cliff has already brought a strong visual shock.
Just as Lan Qi predicted, the hundred-meter-long bridge was indeed destroyed.
It's like someone deliberately wanted to trap everyone in this ancient castle.
It must be what the betrayer did using the power of the vampire before the beginning of the shadow world.
The height of more than 800 meters and the distance of 100 meters on the opposite shore, as well as the air control magic effect of the defense barrier, seemed to isolate them from the rest of the world and become prisoners of this isolated rocky island.
In this cold morning.
Everything is in a clueless mystery stage.
Everyone's mood was about to reach the peak of depression because of the broken bridge.
Frey was like a detective who was about to solve the case, walking towards the cliff alone!
