Chapter 2961 Riding on the Wind
Rabbit Cha Cha's method is very simple. Since the road on the ground is not easy to walk, they will not walk on the ground.
Rabbit Cha Cha pointed to the brick cracks on the wall: "Just follow the method we used to climb the chimney before, and we will move through the brick cracks little by little."
After listening, Angel shook his head: "The method of climbing the brick cracks is feasible, but there are many variables along the way."
The two most important variables are the limitations of physical strength and time.
With Angel's current physical strength, he may not be able to support to the right side of the main hall. Moreover, the main hall is actually quite large. Even if the physical strength is not considered, it will take a long time for them to reach the right side with their current size.
Once the time is taken, the danger will increase. Maybe the maid who got into the small window will retract her head, the maid who ate cockroaches may give up the search, and the maid who went out for inspection may also come back.
So, Angel personally does not think climbing the wall is a good choice.
Rabbit Cha Cha thought about it carefully and felt that it was right. The two maids are not sculptures. They can't keep their current movements. If the time is prolonged, they will easily attract their attention.
"What do you have in mind?" Rabbit Cha Cha asked.
Angel didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought...
There are many ways. Even if he landed and sneaked over, he might not be discovered by the two maids, but the success rate is about 50-50.
In addition, he can also make a feint to the east and attack the west... But making a feint to the east and attacking the west can easily arouse the maids' vigilance. At that time, it was just a normal difficulty, and suddenly it became a hell difficulty, which would be bad. What's more, it is easy for Rabbit Cha Cha to suffer an accident.
So, what he is looking for now is a relatively safer way.
Just as Angel was thinking, suddenly, the lights in the main hall flickered.
Before, the lights actually flickered, but Angel didn't care, because the door of the main hall was open at this time, and there was wind outside the door. The ornaments near the chandelier in the main hall swayed in the wind, which caused the flickering, which is a normal phenomenon.
But this time, Angell looked at the chandelier hanging on the ceiling.
"I think I have thought of a way." Angell whispered.
Rabbit Cha Cha: "What way?"
Angell pointed to the ceiling, and Rabbit Cha Cha followed Angel's line of sight.
The direction of Angell's finger was a golden glossy ribbon.
Occasionally, golden glossy ribbons would fall from the ceiling of the main hall. These ribbons were of different lengths and were a kind of decoration that matched the ceiling lights. They can make the light source brighter and create a sense of splendor.
The atmosphere created by these golden glossy ribbons is beautiful, but there are also some disadvantages. For example, when there is wind, these ribbons will be blown by the wind, causing the light source to be unstable, which is why the main hall "flickers" from time to time.
This is a disadvantage at ordinary times, but it can also be an advantage at this time.
"You mean, you want to swing over with these things?" Rabbit Cha Cha is not stupid, and Angell understands it immediately.
Angel nodded. That was exactly what he meant.
They could swing to the right position by swinging the hanging ribbons.
In Angel's own words, it was similar to Tarzan's rushing action. Use inertia to achieve the goal.
Rabbit Cha Cha's eyes lit up, and it seemed to approve of this method, but it did not agree immediately. Instead, it looked at Angel: "It is feasible, but it is very dangerous."
If you swing in the air and don't pay attention, you may fall directly to the ground if you don't catch the next hanging ribbon.
Angel: "It is dangerous, but it is a controllable danger. At least it is much less dangerous than being discovered by the puppet maid."
Rabbit Cha Cha: "That's right, but if you choose this method, you must plan the route well."
These bright hanging ribbons are used to reflect light. If the hanging ribbons that are too close to the chandelier swing too much, it may cause a significant change in the light in the main hall, thus attracting the attention of the maid.
But if you plan the route well, bypass those key hanging ribbons, and only choose hanging ribbons from the edge, then even if the light in the main hall flickers, it will not flicker too much.
Moreover, when they choose to swing, they must choose the time when there is wind. At that time, the wind will become a helper. Even if the lights in the main hall flicker, it will not attract the attention of the maid!
For Angel now, the wind is very dangerous, but as long as it is used properly, you can also use the wind.
Angel: "This is natural."
After determining the method, Angel and Rabbit Chacha immediately began to plan the starting point and the swinging route.
They have found the starting point. On one side of the curtain, there is a rubber band-like support. At the end of the rubber band, there is a place similar to a bungee platform. There is a hanging ribbon there, which is very close to them, and it is an edge hanging ribbon, which will not attract too much attention.
After finding the starting point, the route planning is also relatively simple. As long as you don't swing to the center, there are still many hanging ribbons on the edge, enough for them to choose. And they also found the landing point, which is in the curtain in front of the right door.
Everything was ready, and Angel and the rabbit Cha Cha also arrived at the starting point.
Now, they only had one last job left
to wait for the wind to come.
…
Another gust of night wind blew in through the door that had never been closed, with a whistling sound.
As the night breeze came, the light source in the main hall began to flicker again. The two maids were used to it and did not look up at all. At most, they secretly complained: It is not a good habit for the maids to patrol without closing the door.
If you should communicate with the chef, keep communicating. When it’s time to catch cockroaches to fill your stomach, keep catching cockroaches.
Everything is the same as before.
Even if the light source flickers a little louder than before, it doesn't matter, just wait until the wind stops.
The two maids didn't care at all that the sash above their heads was swinging more than before, and they didn't even notice that there were two small figures swinging rapidly from left to right by the inertia of the swaying of the sash.
Angel's plan succeeded, at least half of it was successful now.
Rabbit Chacha has successfully reached the curtain. After it got into the curtain, it slid along the curtain to the table next to it, and waved fiercely at Angel from behind the vase.
At this time, Angel also had the last stretch of the road left, but in this last stretch, Angel was unable to walk.
He still had physical strength, but he underestimated the smoothness of this hanging sash.
It looked like just a hanging strip of cloth, but it had a special shiny surface and was very smooth. Even when he grabbed the hanging strip, Angel had the illusion of holding a glass rod.
At first, Angel could barely hold on, but he quickly changed the sash, and every time he changed it, he kept sliding down while holding the sash.
At this time, the place where he grabbed the sash was already towards the tail.
It is already difficult for him to borrow any more strength.
But now he was still about three meters away from the curtain. An adult might be able to jump over, but he was just a thumb. Even if he took off his hat and turned into a halfling, he might not be able to jump over the distance of three meters.
Moreover, once it falls, it will be injured even if it does not die. The blood flowing out will definitely attract the maid's attention.
But if it doesn't fall, the wind will have almost stopped at this time. If the light is still flashing after the wind stops, it will also attract the maid's attention.
It can be said that Angel has now reached the point where he is riding a tiger and is unable to get off.
Rabbit Chacha also sensed Angel's efforts, and its expression showed anxiety and struggle... It actually had a way to save Angel, but after using this method, the energy escaped, and the maid would also notice it. At that time, it would be difficult for them to infiltrate and they would have to flee.
Moreover, fleeing may also affect Julie.
Therefore, Rabbit Chacha was also very confused at this time.
When Rabbit Chacha didn't know how to make a decision, he discovered that Angel had already thrown away his sash.
Are you trying to catch a hanging tape? No, the height is not high enough!
While Rabbit Chacha was confused, Angel quickly untied the saddle baggage wrapped around his body. The loose saddle baggage was in mid-air and was immediately inflated by the wind, arching up like a balloon.
Angel firmly grasped both sides of the saddle bag, using the saddle bag as "wings", gliding in the direction of Rabbit Chacha.
In just a few seconds, for Angel, it was the speed of life and death.
He was afraid that he would lose strength and let go. He was also afraid that the wind would be too strong and blow him away. He was even more afraid that the two maids would find something was wrong.
Fortunately, none of what Angel feared happened.
He successfully glided and hit the curtain. The soft curtains gave him a cushion, preventing him from getting hurt when he landed.
Ten seconds later, Angel slipped from the curtain and came to Rabbit Chacha's side.
Rabbit Chacha patted her chest with a happy face, took a deep breath, and said, "You scared me just now. I almost thought you were going to fall. Is this your backup plan? You're quite handsome."
This is naturally not Angel's backup plan, but his survival response in times of danger. However, there was no need to tell these thoughts, so when faced with Chacha's inquiry, he just smiled and said nothing.
Rabbit Chacha thought that Angel had acquiesced, and patted Angel on the shoulder: "Yes, your method gave me a lot of inspiration. Maybe I can use this method next time I sneak into the castle. Fly over the moat, think about it It’s very exciting.”
Seeing Rabbit Chacha's serious expression, Angel quickly dissuaded him: "It's okay to land in a small area, but you will definitely be discovered if you fly over the moat. Moreover, you need the right time and place. If you want to fly over the moat, at least There's going to be a storm. How dare you go out and fly around? You might be blown somewhere."
Rabbit Chacha: "I understand this, but I don't necessarily need the timing to cooperate. I can find a way to fool some birds to cooperate with my plan. Of course, this is just an idea. If I really want to enter the castle, I still need Julie's cooperation. I."
Angel nodded after making sure that Rabbit Chacha would not come in unexpectedly. However, what Rabbit Chacha said about relying on birds to cooperate is also very risky... I have to say that even if Rabbit Chacha has forgotten Angel, its nature is still very similar to that of the devil Chacha.
When Angel sighed, Rabbit Chacha took Angel's hand and said, "Let's go quickly. I estimated the time. If we don't act quickly, the patrol maid will come later, and it will be difficult for us to explore the storage room."
Angel: "What do you mean?"
Rabbit Chacha leaned into Angel's ear and whispered: "The patrol maid has visited the side building before, and then left the main hall and went outside. It is basically certain that when it comes back from outside, its next stop will be It’s the storage room.”
"I estimate that it will bring some supplies to the storage room. Then it will also organize the storage room and stay there for a long time. If we don't go to the storage room before it comes, we can only wait for it to take the initiative Leave the storage room. I don’t know how long it will take.”
"And if we can leave before it reaches the storage room, we won't have to worry about bumping into the patrol maid on the first floor."
Angel nodded thoughtfully, which was equivalent to saying that he wanted to make a time difference with the patrol maid.
That would indeed be faster.
They came to the edge of the table and slid along the curtain to the floor.
Then he quietly came to the door of the room on the right.
Rabbit Chacha shushed Angel, and then he secretly looked behind the door wearing a single-sided spectacles.
"There is no one behind the door, we can go in first and hide under the table." Rabbit Chacha whispered.
Angel nodded in understanding.
Rabbit Chacha took the lead, and Angel followed behind it and walked into the kitchen cautiously.
After entering the kitchen, it's like stepping into another world. A second ago, there was the smell of scented candles in the hall, but upon entering the kitchen, I immediately smelled an indescribable rotten smell that filled my nostrils.
In this putrid smell, there is also a faint fragrance of tea lingering.
The extreme contrast gave Angel a very strange feeling.
"Be careful and try not to smell those foods. Only Earl Gray Tea can digest these foods. There are many highly toxic substances in them. If you smell them for a long time, you may be poisoned."
Rabbit Chacha saw that Angel had been sniffing the smell in the air, so he quickly came over and warned in a low voice.
Angel also felt dizzy at this time. He originally thought it was due to the weird smell, but he didn't expect that these smells were actually toxic? !
"The best way is to cover your nose with the saddle cloth I got from Julie. The saddle cloth has the scent of Earl Gray Tea on it, which can resist the smell of food. Moreover, it can also prevent you from being discovered by the chef. …The chef’s sense of smell is very sensitive.”
Rabbit Chacha gave the advice seriously. Although Angel was a little resistant in his heart, he thought that he had already worn the saddle bag on his body before, so it didn't matter if he used it as a mask.
Anyway, he didn't smell any peculiar smell... As long as he didn't think about the original function of the saddle bag, it was just an ordinary piece of cloth!
After Angel covered his mouth and nose with his saddlebags, sure enough, the smell around him was reduced a lot. Although he could still smell a slight smell, the impact was minimal.
After solving the taste problem, Rabbit Chacha and Angel had moved under a cabinet with spare materials.
They were both hidden behind deep shadows, with a table leg in front, so there was no worry of being spotted.
Moreover, if you stick your head out from here, it will be covered by shadows, making it a good observation point.
Rabbit Chacha and Angel still conducted an observation respectively, and this time's observation also gave them a general understanding of the overall situation in the kitchen.
