Chapter 229 Isabel's Investigation

After finally waiting for the man with a ferocious face to leave, Isabel climbed out of the quilt to investigate.

My head felt dizzy, as if there was a heavy lead weight in my head, and I felt severe pain when I moved my head even slightly. This made her even afraid to move too fast, and her body was so weak that she couldn't even stand up.

When she climbed out of bed, she almost missed her foot and fell down.

The intense fear caused her back to be soaked in cold sweat instantly, followed by bursts of sharp pain in her head.

This made her face suddenly wrinkle and she lay on the edge of the bed and curled up into a ball.

There were waves of nausea in the stomach, and the skin and bones on the body felt a slight pain all the time. Even if you touch it with your hands, it will only become more painful.

"……it hurts."

She murmured quietly and got up.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning fell outside.

The next moment, the candles in the room suddenly went out without any wind. At the same time, the window was suddenly pushed open by the wind, and the sound of howling rain suddenly became louder.

She subconsciously wanted to scream, but Isabel held it back.

——It’s useless to call anyway. Don't be embarrassed, Isabel...he won't die anyway.

She said to herself fiercely in her heart.

This time, no one can help me. Isabel had no idea which level Aiwass and Sherlock were on... If they were on a level lower than her, they wouldn't be able to help her at all.

But at least one thing is certain, that is, there must be no one else on her current level.

And it doesn't matter if you die, it's just falling one level. Although Isabel didn't really understand what she should do, she at least understood the rules - she couldn't appear on the zero level, so it didn't matter even if she died.

And if you are on a lower level, someone should come down soon. If you haven't seen anyone, it means you may be on a higher level.

——So what she has to do is to do her best to investigate while holding on as long as possible.

Maybe there was something that only her level could see.

"...At least, I can't be a burden."

Isabel gritted her teeth, covered her head, and stood up unsteadily.

Originally, she didn't call anyone during the last advancement ceremony - it was just that she was lucky enough to meet Aiwass and Sherlock, and they happened to decide to help her.

That's their kindness and their good luck. But that's not a natural protection.

They cannot protect themselves forever, and one day they will have to walk on their own.

...My grandmother will eventually die, and I will succeed to the throne.

She doesn't know when she will become the queen - compared to the nightmare that it doesn't matter if she dies, the reality is a promotion ceremony of nightmare level difficulty with no chance of coming back!

Can't let Aiwass down!

"If you are going to die... you should try your best and not directly commit suicide to seek help..."

Thinking this, Isabel stumbled to the pushed-open window.

The heavy rain outside soaked Isabel in an instant. She first wanted to close the window, but found that she couldn't reach it at all - maybe she could if she stepped on a stool, but now she wasn't sure she could stand firmly, and she wasn't sure she would fall.

At this moment, her eyes suddenly widened. What was discovered.

That was something she had to walk to the window in the heavy rain to see——

I saw the stars in the sky outside the window shining brightly and then extinguishing, as if they vaguely formed some words.

She stood there in the heavy rain and watched intently for a long time. My whole body was completely soaked by the rain before I finally understood the word.

That's not a word, but the number "201".

Starlight is guiding her to room 201!

Isabel perked up.

She wiped her face hastily with a towel. There were no clothes to change, so I could only stumble out of the house with my body soaked by the rain.

As she started walking, she realized that she was dizzy and even a little unbalanced. Isabel took two quick steps and almost hit the door handle.

Realizing that her health was worse than she thought, she became more cautious and instead walked step by step while holding on to the wall.

Her steps became weaker and weaker, and her eyes became blurry.

The storm beat against the windows, and there were faint sounds of little girls singing, quarrels, the loud noise of something falling on the ground, and women's screams. But Isabel couldn't tell whether it was her hallucination at all. She only felt that her consciousness became a little blurry, and the world was spinning in front of her eyes.

There was only a short walk from Room 202 to Room 201, but she walked for a long time.

——Is this really just a cold and fever?

Isabel had such doubts in her heart.

She walked to room 201 and was about to stand on tiptoes to pull the door handle.

But at this moment, the door handle moved on its own. Then the old door creaked and he pulled it open.

Isabel immediately held her breath and her heartbeat stopped. The whole figure stood motionless as if under a restraining spell.

——Is there anyone inside?

But after a long time, she didn't hear any sound from inside. Even the singing, the noise and the loud noise were gone. The only sounds left were the roaring rain and the random crashing sounds from the windows being constantly flapped by the wind.

She gritted her teeth and pushed the door open. As soon as she let go, the door closed with a bang.

The house was dark, with no signs of anyone living there. But even so, she felt it was getting weirder.

Even if someone suddenly rushed out and killed her...

At this moment, another thunderbolt struck.

With the lightning in that instant, she clearly saw a little girl with purple-browed blonde hair standing outside the window.

——But this is the second floor.

Isabel finally screamed.

She immediately turned around, jumped up and pulled down the door handle. But the door seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't open it after several pulls.

She suddenly pulled the door handle down. After opening the door, she was about to rush out——

But outside the door was not a corridor at all, but a sealed red brick wall. She bumped into the wall, and her skin became more painful, and even the arm that subconsciously blocked in front of her was scratched a little.

She turned around again in horror and found that the girl outside the window had disappeared.

The house was empty again.

Isabel swallowed hard, took a few deep breaths, and forced herself to calm down.

She had a vague guess, and closed the door again. Then opened it again.

This time, the outside of the door changed again - it became a staircase going up.

This time, Isabel was not in a hurry to go out, so she opened the door and bravely went to the window.

She stuck to the window and looked for a long time. She found that there was really nothing outside.

And with the occasional lightning outside the house, she vaguely saw the furnishings in the house - different from the room 202 she rented, there was obviously more living atmosphere here. Specifically, there were some books scattered on the table in a mess, and a somewhat worn-out little bear doll.

If the people here disappeared a long time ago, then these things should have been put away.

Isabel walked over carefully and reached out to touch the books. She found that there was no dust on the books.

She picked up the only open book and waited for the lightning to fall by the window.

After a while, as the lightning fell - she saw the cover of the book clearly.

"...The Wise Man in the Oak."

She frowned and murmured, "This is the story of Merlin."

Isabel had read this book.

This book tells the story of Merlin, the apostle of Wei Zhe, who was once imprisoned in an oak tree by his ex-girlfriend Vivian when he was a human.

He could hear everything outside and speak. But he couldn't come out or cast spells. The oak tree that sealed him was extremely hard, and even with an axe, he couldn't cut down the oak tree and rescue him.

So he was regarded as the "inner spirit" of the oak tree.

People heard that there was a wise and spiritual oak tree here, so they came from all directions to ask him questions. Later, a knight traveling with a red-handled holy sword traveled here and thought it was an evil oak tree that would bewitch people, so he cut the oak tree in half with a sword. As a result, Merlin was accidentally released.

Merlin was grateful to the knight and took him back to Lancelot. He made him a knight of the round table and the ancestor of the founding family "Camelot".

——But as a descendant of Lancelot, Isabel certainly knew that the book was wrong.

Because the only knight who could hold the red-handled sword normally was Galahad. And he got the red-handled sword after Arthur left the material world and Lancelot became Lancelot I. At that time, he had already been a Knight of the Round Table.

... Moreover, there is another saying in the Du Lac family. It is said that the Camelot family is actually a branch of the Du Lac family.

Because Galahad may be the illegitimate son of Lancelot I. And Galahad does not have the bloodline from Guinevere.

However, this book appeared here... and it was still open. Obviously, the owner of the house was still reading this book before leaving.

Does this have any inner meaning?

"... If Aiwass was here, it would be great."

Isabel bit her lip, a little depressed.

She is not as smart as Aiwass and Sherlock, and now she feels that her body is about to die and can't do anything. Her Tao ability is even blocked... There is no other person to communicate with. She had never felt so lonely and scared, as if she was abandoned by the whole world.

She walked around the room twice more and didn't see any other different places. So she simply stuffed the book into her waist and stuck it in front of her belly with her pants. She picked up the teddy bear and left the room.

As soon as she stepped onto the stairs, the door behind her closed and locked automatically.

Isabel paused. There is no way back, she thought.

But it doesn't matter - she has gradually gotten used to it.

But she walked for a long time, but she still couldn't reach the end. At this time, Isabel suddenly felt something was wrong.

She held the wall to prevent herself from falling. She tried her best to raise her head and look up. But she couldn't see anything clearly, and she didn't even know how many floors there were above.

It's all here, there's no point in going back. The previous doors have been locked, she thought.

But I don't know if it's an illusion, she always feels that the surroundings are getting brighter and brighter. And the sound of rain outside is getting thinner and thinner, and gradually becomes quieter.

The little girl's singing voice suddenly came clearly, which scared her - the voice came from the little bear doll in her arms.

"Lock her up with the key...Lock her up, lock her up...Lock her up with the key, dear friend..."

Isabel lost her grip and the doll fell directly to the ground.

The bear fell down, and Isabel subconsciously wanted to squat down and catch it.

But just as she turned back and bent down to catch it, she felt a cold little hand behind her gently pushing her.

——Isabel rolled directly and fell from an unknown height of stairs.

Update completed, today is a 7,000-word update meow~

The rhinitis has improved a lot, the air purifier saved my cat's life!

It turned out that the original air purifier was not working... I bought an air purifier when I moved in 2016. At that time, it cost more than 2,000 yuan to absorb formaldehyde. I changed the filter once, and it was only used for two months a year, which was March and September when I was prone to allergies. As a result, it was basically useless this time. I was thinking that my body was so weak that it didn't work even with the air purifier and medicine...

As a result, I bought a new air purifier from Huawei for 700 or 800 yuan. The weight and volume are only one-third of the old one. It was useful immediately after it was turned on - the day before yesterday, I used more than 100 sheets of paper a day, the day before yesterday, I only used more than 30 sheets, and yesterday and today I only used more than 10 to 20 sheets. The effect is remarkable.

I can only say that technology has advanced...
