Resist the world, but I spread the curse

Chapter 181 The Weird World

"Be careful? What should I be careful about, and who should I be careful about?"

A bad feeling welled up in Clark's heart again. He guessed that this little note was probably written by Mirele, because this dress was sent by Mirele, and the suit he wore tonight was also the same. She suggested picking it, and she is also the person who has the most contact with the clothes and the person who is most likely to give him tips.

Clark's mind was swelling, and he sat on the edge of the bed, recalling everything that had happened during the day.

There are fragments missing in his memory, he only remembers that he was obviously on a flight to the Shenzhou area, and then he fell asleep on the flight, and when he woke up, he found himself in a deserted place. , the attire and items have changed.

At first, he was also flustered, but soon he calmed down, searched for his existing things, and then found a lot of things from his backpack, among them was a notepad that recorded the situation of "self", and There is a pocket watch with slow hands.

The date of the seventeenth century was written on the notepad, and the purpose of his trip was written - "he" was going to a distant earl's castle, which was built on the edge of a cliff, and within four or five kilometers there was nowhere to be seen. Uninhabited woods, remote and far away, and the identity of "he" is a law enforcement officer looking for the truth. He wants to find out from the weird castle where hundreds of disappearances are suspected to have occurred to "him" half a month ago. "The person who sent the distress letter, confirm the situation and do a good job of rescue.

Because he had no destination and could not tell the direction, he could only follow the route of the map of the castle location stored in the notepad.

In less than an hour, he was unlucky to encounter a snowstorm, and the weather was getting worse. It wasn't until he found the so-called Earl's Castle along the route that he finally believed that he seemed to have really encountered a novel. Things that would only appear in a movie—he crossed over, and crossed over to a "law enforcement officer" in the 17th century.

Forced by the blizzard and severe weather, he had no choice but to live in this castle, which he knew implied great danger.

However, there are still many things that confuse Clark in this world, especially in this castle. Whether it is the environment in the castle or the words and deeds of the characters here, he can feel the deep emotion from some details. The weirdness.

The earl's title is Bluebeard, and the image of Bluebeard is no stranger to Clark, because this person is almost the evil villain in fairy tales known throughout the western world, and he is a perverted nobleman and woman killer in fairy tales. There is indeed an actual image in real history. The other party is actually a notorious child killer. In order to satisfy his desire, he learned a taboo magic spell, which was activated with the blood of children. For this reason, he abducted and killed many innocent people. child.

Clark, as an expert in the study of abnormal folk culture, has naturally studied the blue beard that existed in real history, but when he came to the castle today, he didn't think that the blue beard who was with him would be the history he had studied figure.

Perhaps, he traveled to a time and space that was completely different from his own world, but had a similar historical background?
Clark can't be sure, but from the various performances of Blue Beard at the dinner, he does fit the image of a nobleman with impure character, and he does have the conditions to allow people who come into this castle to come in and out , and the news of their disappearance is hard to get out.

All in all, Clark felt that he was doomed to sleep tonight... No, he didn't need to sleep at all.

Although he had been walking for almost a whole day, Clark still felt that he was full of energy. It was not that he was full of energy, but an inexplicable sense of fear was constantly stimulating his sensitive nerves.

A professional scholar of anomalous folk culture, if he wants to do this job for a long time, the first condition is a sensitive awareness of danger, because you don't know when you will touch something that can infringe thinking, meme interference, cognition The taboo thing that destroys, if you are not careful, you may lose your mind, fall into madness, and even lose your life.

But now, Clark felt that the castle was full of dangers.

He was wrapped in a quilt in the bedroom, sitting on the head of the bed, waiting dryly without feeling sleepy.

Listening to the sound of the blizzard outside that never calmed down, Clark watched the scale of the pocket watch pointer. Although the pocket watch pointer moved very slowly, for him who had no time recording tools around him, this pocket watch was much slower. Still a useful time keeping tool.

He roughly calculated the actual time by counting heartbeats, compared the pocket watch time, and found that the actual time of one hour was equal to 5 minutes of the pocket watch time, and the time ratio was about 12:1. Clothes rested for a while, and then dinner took a total of about two and a half hours.

No wonder tonight's dinner was delicious but also quite tormented. I didn't expect it to take so long.

So, after waiting 10 minutes for the time on the pocket watch, and almost two hours after the actual time, Clark felt that it should be midnight, and it was the dead of night, so he decided to investigate the castle.

Knowing that the castle is weird and dangerous, it is not advisable to sit and wait for death. In that case, he is no different from a stupid turkey in a farm.

He put on his clothes, took the candlestick in the room, and quietly pushed open the door of the room, looking at the dark and silent corridor, as if he was the only one left in the whole world, his heartbeat couldn't help but beating faster for the creepy atmosphere stand up.

Clark still remembered going to the restaurant and the original path to the castle gate, but he didn’t need to investigate these places. He started to explore from the rooms near his guest bedroom. Every room that was unlocked and could be opened, he They will try to go in quietly, and look at the sign at the door of the room before going in.

It sounds a bit unbelievable to still have a signage at home, but after knowing that this is a huge castle, it is not difficult to understand.

He found that there seemed to be "owners" in the rooms near him. Take the room diagonally across the door from him. The sign of the room opposite him said "Kander's Room". past traces.

Opening the closet in the room, there are quite a few sets of servants' clothes inside. It seems that Kande is a servant in the castle, probably a gardener, because he saw a lot of books about planting flowers and plants on Kande's bookshelf .

Clark continued to rummage through the bookshelf of the other party, and when he found one of the books about planting "perfume lilies", he accidentally discovered that the book cover of this book turned out to be fake, and there was actually a light yellow box with the thickness of the book cover inside. .

Clark opened the box, and then he almost lost his grip on the box, because there was a stone sculpture of a strange vermin in the box, which looked crouching and hideous but lifelike.

And the image of this vermin is quite familiar to Clark, because this is exactly the subject of his research before crossing—the shadow of peeping all things.
