Squeak, click, click.

The corridor that had always been silent and dark was no longer dark and silent. With the flashlight beam shaking frequently and the door ringing, Jack and Bud were running together in the corridor, pushing open the rooms on both sides from time to time.

He opened the door, then walked into the room and looked around, looking for the barely there fabric clothes.

There is no doubt that compared to the second and third floors, which are better preserved due to their larger collections, the first floor is the most deserted area of ​​the entire castle. In addition to the pursuit of retro, there is nothing here except a large number of rusty weapons.

Outside the warehouse, the remaining rooms are basically empty, and the rooms used for soldiers to live in are also empty. At most, there are some dilapidated wooden furniture. It is conceivable that faced with this result, both Jack and Bud,

The more they wandered around, the more frustrated they became, and the more they searched, the more disappointed they became, and finally...

Bang!

After passing through two corridors one after another, after witnessing dozens of so-called living rooms, Jack pushed open the door and cursed when he went out. He complained to Bud opposite who had also just come out of the room: "Damn it, still..."

There is nothing, it’s over, we are definitely doomed this time.”

"No, we can't give up. There are still many rooms in the back that we haven't looked for. If we can't find them, we will be forced to go to the second floor by Richard!" Unlike Jack's despair and irritability, as a man with more than ten people,

A veteran security guard with more than 40 years of work experience, Jack, who is nearly 40 years old, does not show much despair. It is true that he knows just as well.

There were larvae in the castle, but he knew better that if they wanted to escape from the castle, everyone had to find fabric ropes that could build a ladder. Seeing that Jack was losing patience and trying to give up, Bud directly warned him not to give up. After all, if you continue to search, you might still be there.

There is hope, but once you give up, everyone will have no choice but to go to the second floor to die.

"Well, I would rather die than go to the second floor anyway. Instead of going upstairs to die, I would rather work in vain here!"

As expected, under Bud's warning, Jack had no choice but to agree. Then he continued to move, pushed the door open and walked into the next room. Seeing Jack continuing to search, Bud, who had been checking on the opposite side, did not hesitate to turn around and push the door open.

door and go straight into another room.

Perhaps due to the overly tense relationship, after just checking for a few seconds, Jack pushed the door open again and returned to the corridor before Bud went out. As he pushed the door open and walked out, he cursed again: "Damn, it's an empty room again.

Only there is a broken wooden table in the corner. Hey, Bud, where are you..."

Um?

As mentioned above, after pushing the door open, just when Jack was about to tell the test results as before, Jack stopped abruptly in the middle of the sentence. Then he looked forward with the help of a flashlight and stared at the person in front of the door with stunned eyes.

He looked at the man who had stood in front of the door at some point. However, the man was not Bud, but another man, a man with glasses that he seemed to have seen before!

……………

When Jack pushed the door open and returned to the corridor, with the help of a flashlight, he found someone standing outside the door. However, the person was not Bud, but another person, an oriental man, and also a man with glasses that he seemed to have seen before.

.

"You, you are..." Looking at the man with glasses, Jack fell into a brief daze. In the daze, his expression froze and he instinctively asked, but just when he was about to ask...

Phew.

I heard a sound in my ears and felt a pain in my abdomen.

Looking down at the sound, he saw a dagger stuck in his abdomen, and the dagger was stabbed into his lower abdomen!

Because he never dreamed that the man with glasses would kill someone upon meeting him, and because he was so fast and unprepared, Jack was stabbed in the face, and the dagger was inserted deep into his lower abdomen, until the hilt was gone!

As for Jack…

"Woo..."

He felt the severe pain, groaned in the severe pain and suddenly raised his head. Through the flashlight, he saw the man's expressionless face, and under the lens, a pair of eyes full of cold light, currently staring at him, staring at him without saying a word!

"Uh, uh, uh, you, you..."

Jack's body began to tremble. Along with the trembling, his expression became pale and distorted, and a series of painful moans came out of his throat. In addition, because he really couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to kill him, at the last moment when he was about to die, Jack stretched out his hand.

He tried to grab the other person with both hands, and struggled to squeeze out questions from his whimpering mouth. Unfortunately, before he could ask the question, Zhao Ping gave him a strong stir with his arm, and then suddenly pulled out the dagger!

Whoop, whoop!

Plop.

With a large amount of blood gushing out of his belly, Jack fell down, lying on his back and declared dead. He died very quickly, from being stabbed in the abdomen to dying, the whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and he didn't know why he died until he died.

Kill yourself!

As for the murderer...

It’s Zhao Ping!

Yes, Zhao Ping has been working and doing what he wants to do since he left the team and disappeared into the darkness alone under the stunned gaze of Peng Hu and others. He did not go to other places, but went directly to the first floor.

No one knew why he went downstairs, but Zhao Ping quickly discovered something. Through the castle window and with the help of the moonlight in the sky, he found that a group of security guards were gathering under the city wall and busy, with some scattered furniture placed next to them, observing.

At this point, Zhao Ping instantly understood that this group of people planned to escape. As expected, the city gate must be sealed, and the security guards who could not escape tried to make ladders to climb over the wall to escape. Logically speaking, this idea is not wrong, but it is a pity.

It was meaningless and completely useless. After all, he understood the curse and knew that the curse would never leave any loopholes in the mission. This meant that even if the security guards built ladders, these people would never be able to escape from the castle.

In addition, he also found two wells displayed in the courtyard.

Of course, these are just afterthoughts, and they were not the focus of his attention at the time. Seeing a group of security guards doing useless work, Zhao Ping did not go out to remind him, and did not meet with the security guards at all. Instead, he hid in the dark without saying a word. The result was as expected.

Almost the same, it only takes a moment

, the security guards who were still busy returned to the castle, and then spread out on the first floor, looking like they were looking for something, but this is not the point, the point is, seeing the security guards scattered everywhere, Zhao Ping began to follow them, quietly.

secretly followed two of them, and then...

He killed Jack!

Take advantage of the fact that Jack just went out and stabbed him to death with a knife!

Let's get back to the topic. At this moment, looking at the lifeless body of Jack on the ground, Zhao Ping didn't have any emotional fluctuations. He had no guilt or psychological pressure. On the contrary, he smiled coldly and raised the corner of his mouth. Next...

squeak.

Just as Jack fell to the ground and died, about five seconds later, the sound came out again, and the door creaked open behind him. Bud, who was also searching to no avail, pushed the door open. However, as soon as he walked out, he was the first to be greeted.

What he saw was Jack's body covered in blood!

Due to the suddenness of the incident and the lack of warning, Bud was stunned when he saw Jack's inexplicable and tragic death in the corridor. The moment he saw the body, his eyes opened wide and his mouth opened to the extreme. He was about to scream instinctively, but when he said that

Soon enough, before Bard could make a sound, a figure suddenly flashed from the right side of the door to the front, and along with it, there was a sharp dagger thrust towards him!

Phew, clatter!

The dagger stabbed Bard's throat hard!

Da, da, da da da.

The blood spurted out instantly. Bard, who was stabbed in the throat, first felt pain in his neck. Then, as the blood continued to spurt crazily from the wound, Bard shook violently, his vision gradually blurred, and the dagger was stabbed into his throat.

It spurts blood like a fountain!

"Ho, uh...ho, ho, ho..."

Just like Jack just now, because he didn't expect that he would be attacked and killed, even though his vision was blurred and his consciousness was blurred, Bud still kept his eyes wide open while staggering in pain with a broken throat and unable to speak, and then saw the attack clearly.

The black shadow witnessed the murderer who killed him. Through his increasingly blurred vision, he saw that the other person was a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. At this moment, the man was staring at him with a silent expression. While watching,

The corners of his mouth were full of sneers.

(Why do you want to kill me? Why...)

Plop.

This was the last question in Bud's mind before his consciousness dissipated, and it was also a thought that he could not understand until his death. Then, just like Jack who died tragically a few seconds ago, Bud fell to the ground, and there was no more movement.

Jack was dead, and Bud was dead. They were killed one after another by Zhao Ping with sneak attacks, and both died in the hands of men!

at the same time……

Hooray, hooray.

After confirming that both security guards were dead, Zhao Ping continued to move without stopping. Although he left the corridor immediately as expected, he took the bodies with him when he left, grabbing the legs and dragging the two corpses away from the corridor.

Two minutes later, the castle courtyard.

Plop, plop, clatter.

Under the moonlight, accompanied by bursts of soft crashing sounds and a brief spurt of water, the two corpses were pushed into the well one by one by Zhao Ping. Within a moment, the corpses sank to the bottom of the well and disappeared without a trace.

By the moonlight in the sky, at this moment, looking at the surface of the well below to restore calm, Zhao Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, while maintaining silence, turned around and left, returning to the opposite castle again, but...

This time, he changed his direction and instead of rushing to the west area on the first floor, he headed towards the east area on the first floor.

About 8 minutes passed.

Hooray, hooray.

In the darkness, a familiar scene was repeated. Under Zhao Ping's hard dragging, two more corpses were dragged out of the castle one by one. With the help of the moonlight, he looked carefully and saw that this time the corpse was not someone else. It was the corpse from earlier.

William and Robert in search of the East End!

As far as the eye can see, what comes into view are two dead bodies. Like Jack and Bud, who have long since sunk to the bottom of the water, William is also dead, and Robert is also dead. One has a broken heart and is covered in blood, and the other has blood gushing from his back.

Not only that, but the one who killed them was undoubtedly Zhao Ping. However, it was different from the two Jacks who were killed in the first place.

, these two people knew Zhao Ping, and were more familiar with the man with glasses. After all, they had taken shelter with Zhao Ping on the second floor in the afternoon. During this period, the two of them had a deep impression of Zhao Ping, and they both shared the same sorrow.

But, who would have thought that even though they had shared the same sorrow, the man with glasses would still attack ruthlessly without any nostalgia for the old relationship, and eventually killed both of them!

Plop, plop, clatter.
To be continued...
