Chapter 1 Strange Dreams
"Mr. Xie, please help her just once," Bai Xiaodie, who had been looking at the two people's banter, said.
"Since it's a friend who's talking, let me help others for once."
"Am I not your friend?"
"I always thought you were a police detective who took me for a liar."
"Before I help you find someone, I still have some things to deal with, so I can't help you until I finish that matter."
"Hmph, you have to be faster"
Yulia drove Xie Sheng downstairs to the apartment.
Xie Sheng entered the room and put some of the things he had left in the room into the suitcase.
At this time, the cell phone rang and he answered the call.
"Your challenge is ready"
"Oh, how to start?"
"In about half an hour, a car will pick you up from the apartment downstairs."
"Okay, what should I do to complete the challenge?"
"It's actually very simple. As long as you stay there for one night, you have completed the task."
Such a simple task is simply insulting!
Half an hour later, at the agreed place, an off-road vehicle stopped in front of Xie Sheng.
The driver of this car looked cold.
Xie Sheng said a few words to the driver, but he looked indifferent and looked at Xie Sheng as if he were looking at a dead person.
He was not a very mean person, so he stopped trying to talk to the driver and looked at the scenery passing by outside the window.
After two hours, we drove out of the bustling neighborhood, and the green gradually began to take over.
The heavily guarded checkpoints are guarded by armed soldiers instead of police officers.
Xie Sheng even saw several well-hidden machine guns aiming at the road from several different directions.
The car was released after the guards strictly checked the documents carried by the driver.
The car continued to drive, and half an hour later, the car was completely driving through the black forest.
The Black Mist Forest is one of the four green reserved areas in the Demon Market.
About two hundred years ago, in order to prevent the entire country from being occupied by gray cement and factory smoke.
The Demonic Market Council has designated four areas for the purpose of protecting nature.
Except for activities approved by special departments, no one is allowed to enter or exit these four areas at will.
Except for Liyeon Island, which is far away from the main island, the other three districts are all located on the main island.
After getting into the car from the door of the apartment, the car drove almost non-stop for five hours.
I have to say, it feels great to see birds flying in the sky and wild animals of all sizes running across the road.
Five hours later, Xie Sheng saw the shadow of the old castle through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
He found that the chirping of birds around him gradually disappeared, and the little beasts disappeared without a trace. They didn't seem to like this place very much.
The car stopped in front of this huge gray-black castle.
You can’t tell from the pictures that this castle is so majestic.
It’s both a castle and a city.
Xie Sheng got out of the car and looked at the decaying iron door and mottled walls in front of him.
All this told him of the castle's antiquity and dilapidation.
The driver placed Xie Sheng's suitcase next to him.
"Good luck"
The driver said something emotionless to Xie Sheng outside the window and drove away.
Rather than saying that he really cared about Xie Sheng, it was more about the professional habits he had developed over a long period of time.
Xie Sheng waved politely to the leaving car, picked up his suitcase, pushed open the ajar iron door, and entered Huntington Castle.
The castle was empty and there were signs of dilapidation everywhere.
A gust of wind blew some leaves, which was the only vitality he saw.
No matter where you go, it is very important to be familiar with the environment.
He put down his suitcase, played a melody, and took out a gargoyle from it.
Use the suitcase to hide the possible sight of the outside world, and drop a drop of blood on the gargoyle.
The gargoyle spread its wings and flew up, spinning around in the castle hall before flying in the direction chosen by Xie Sheng.
Xie Sheng followed the gargoyle and walked slowly.
Just like that, let the gargoyle explore the way in front, and he followed behind.
In this way, Xie Sheng walked around all the rooms in the castle.
The inside of the castle is even more dilapidated than it looks outside, with not a single intact door or window.
So there is no need to "break in"
Furthermore, the castle is even bigger inside than it looks from the outside.
Even though he never stopped to rest from beginning to end, after he walked through all the rooms he could find.
Standing on the highest tower of the castle and looking around the castle, it was completely dark outside.
The tall trees surrounding the castle surrounded the castle like giants, staring at him with ferocious faces.
The huge branches on the trees swayed in the wind, as if these giants were waving countless huge arms towards him.
I just don't know if they are driving him away or trying to capture him.
I don't know why, but after dark, Xie Sheng felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier.
It's really strange that he can stay up for half a year if he wants. This kind of uncontrollable sleepiness has not appeared for a long time.
For him, sleeping is more of a habit or enjoyment than a necessity.
He walked down the stairs step by step and could already see the hall downstairs.
The suitcase was in the lobby, and he had to get to it as quickly as possible.
As I walked down the stairs, I got closer and closer to the suitcase.
Suddenly, a strong dizziness hit him. He stretched out his hand to hold on to the stair railing and tried to open his heavy eyes.
For a moment, he almost broke free from this fatigue.
At this moment, Xie Sheng clearly felt the surrounding temperature drop suddenly.
A huge claw stretched out from the darkness, grabbed him tightly, and pulled him into the eternal darkness.
Xie Sheng struggled hard, but the air around him was as thick as glue.
He was like an insect struggling in pine resin. The more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
In the end, he couldn't even breathe, and the force finally suffocated him completely.
"Breathe", in a trance, a blast of cool air was suddenly inhaled into the lungs.
Xie Sheng gasped hard and opened his eyes, but the surroundings were still dark.
He was trying to adapt to the darkness, and there was a light in the distance slowly approaching him.
Xie Sheng rubbed his eyes and saw that it was a small candlestick with a candle burning on it.
The candlelight illuminated a familiar and pretty face.
"Bai Xiaodie!"
The "White Dawn Butterfly" looks even more beautiful under the candlelight.
Xie Sheng wanted to call her, but he could only think about it and couldn't make a sound from his throat.
"But how could she appear here?"
She was walking into Xie Sheng's position step by step, the candlelight in her hand flickering, casting her slim figure on the wall behind her.
At this time, Xie Sheng noticed that she was wearing a maid's outfit that could only be seen in movies, TV or museums.
Such clothes must have been eliminated two hundred years ago.
No matter what, let's go over and meet her first.
Only then did Xie Sheng realize that he couldn't move at all. He tried hard to lift his feet, but his legs didn't obey the command of his brain at all.
He suddenly stared at the shadow on the wall with wide eyes.
Chapter completed!
