Chapter 1929 U Transcendence Event (20)
Chapter 1903 U Transcendence Event (Twenty)
After the first game showed the special abilities of the killers, the organizer seemed to no longer want to hide his intentions. He used the scene in the hall of the Nehlet Family Manor to tell all duelists that this game is not a simple chase, and the killers are not idiots who can only wield chainsaws.
They have all kinds of strange abilities, know how to use the wisdom of psychological tactics, and even now it seems that they may find their place in religious scriptures.
The Gothic hall is very wide and the dome is very high. The dark gray stone bricks are covered with dark green and gold carpets. The complicated and sharp candlesticks fixed on the walls are like outstretched ghost claws, echoing the olive green silk hanging from the surrounding pillars, as if you are in a cold forest.
A group of strange people in strange clothes stood in the hall. Some of them looked like Roman Orthodox priests, some wore wizard robes and held a heavy wooden staff, some dressed like Victorian detectives who would haunt Baker Street, and some were opening heavy suitcase computers and using complex instruments to monitor nearby radio waves.
"Is this place haunted?" Natasha said uncertainly. She looked around and could guess what kind of people these people were, which area they came from, and whether they had any real skills without looking carefully.
The last one was the easiest to guess, because anyone with real skills would not dress himself up as if he wanted to write his family tree on his face to show that he was very orthodox.
Natasha poked Batman next to her with her elbow and asked, "Can you deal with ghosts?"
Batman was silent and did not answer. He did not even look like he was thinking. He just swept his sharp eyes over everyone present, as if he could really determine the other person's family tree by looking at their appearance.
They were also watching for any weird people in the crowd, or whether there were any abnormal people among the weird people.
After looking around, the two Batmen came to the same conclusion at the same time, that is, the weirdest people here were still their own group.
Batman's image was not exaggerated, but Natasha wore a sweater and Schiller wore a white coat, which was out of tune with the monsters in the hall.
What attracted their attention even more was that the old butler came over soon and led the group to the side hall alone. On the way to the destination, the old butler said: "Although there is no grand banquet, there is also a simple welcoming banquet. The Nehlet family will not treat guests from afar with indifference. You can go to wash and rest first. When the welcoming banquet starts, there will be special waiters to guide you."
Batman could instantly feel several unfriendly eyes in the hall projected towards them.
This group of people with strange clothes and strange behavior are the typical ones who have no skills and only provide psychological comfort to some rich people with a lot of money through their various weirdness.
In their opinion, everyone who came here was a competitor, and it would be best if everyone else was driven out, leaving only themselves to take the huge thank-you gift.
But now there is a group of people who have received special courtesy from the host family. Could it be that the other party is better at acting than himself?
Facing these eyes, Batman did not feel angry at all, but his steps were still a little hesitant, because he was thinking whether it was necessary to remind this group of people that there might be a terrifying killer in the manor.
They are players participating in the game, so of course they know that there must be killers here, and the killers will not only kill them, but more likely kill indiscriminately, so the group of people in the hall will be very dangerous.
When Batman was about to act, a team of waiters walked out of another side door, led everyone else back to the room, and said something similar to the old butler.
This successfully attracted the attention of everyone else. After all, some of them were not rich, and some could even be called tight-fisted. A sumptuous welcoming banquet was already a reward for them.
Watching the crowd disperse one after another and return to their respective rooms, Batman quickened his pace. He thought that when the crowd gathered together, massacre would be the worst situation. Although it was dangerous for the crowd to disperse, it would be easier for him to solve it.
The old butler took them to the door of the four rooms at the end of the corridor on the second floor. Schiller looked at the window of the corridor and found that the garden of the manor should be outside the window.
So he took the initiative to walk to the door of the room on the right side of his head and said that he chose this room. The old butler stretched out a hand to signal him to go ahead, and Schiller opened the door.
The guest bedroom was also not much different from Wayne Manor, but the decoration of the room was cold, and there were no warm decorations, not even dark red earth brown, only dark blue, dark green, olive green and blue-black, which looked simple and heavy.
In the middle of the room was a European-style bed covered with dark green silk sheets. There was a bed frame around the bed, and sharp cabinets were placed on both sides of the bed, with some more obscure classics on them.
The entire bedroom has three large Gothic floor-to-ceiling windows. In front of the one facing the door, there is a single sofa and a small coffee table, but they are all made of dark fabrics, leather and metal, and there is no modern design element.
The light source of the whole room is even more exaggerated. Basically, only the fireplace and candles on one side of the wall provide light.
The glass is somehow foggy, and natural light can hardly penetrate. The repeated shapes and heavy weight of the Gothic candlesticks are destined to not use too thick candles. Schiller walked up and found that it was actually animal fat wax, and the processing method was quite retro, resulting in unstable flames. The firewood in the fireplace was also processed roughly, causing the fire in the whole room to flicker constantly.
Schiller walked up and touched the bed sheet. The fireplace was not far from the bed, but the bed was still cold. He walked to the window and looked at the garden, but he actually saw through the glass that in the garden downstairs, under the flower pavilion, a pale little girl was standing, staring straight at his room.
Schiller frowned slightly, just like every protagonist in a horror movie, looking at the little girl with some surprise and hesitation, and then wrote a line of words on the mist of the glass with his finger: "Who are you?"
The little girl still stared at Schiller until Schiller wrote again: "Are you okay?"
The little girl then made a mouth shape, and what she said was, "Leave here."
Schiller sighed, walked to both sides of the window, closed the curtains, and stopped looking at the scene in the garden. At this time, his door was knocked, and a black manservant appeared outside the door.
"Hello, sir. The suit tailored to your size has been made before you came. It is a dark brown three-piece suit. I am here to ask about the style of your tie and whether you have any other requirements. Is there anything you need?"
Schiller paused and said, "I hope it is a dark green or blue silk patterned tie. If possible, please give me a swordfish brooch."
The black manservant seemed a little surprised, but after thinking for a while, he still reminded hesitantly: "Sir, the clothes we prepared are enough to meet your requirements, but Mr. Nehlet may be back at noon today."
"Of course, Nehlet Mr. is a very open-minded person, but his brother Hancock... Well, I know this is not what I should say. If you need this, I will tell the butler. "
"But our brooch style may not satisfy you. Do you have any alternatives? I will bring them all to you at that time, and you can choose to wear them yourself."
"Perhaps, a hummingbird brooch?"
"Okay, please wait."
After more than ten minutes, the waiter brought a suitcase with clothes and a brooch plate with various brooches, including birds, fish, classical sun patterns, and other suit brooches, as well as some button decorations.
Schiller changed his clothes and found that there was no full-length mirror in the bedroom, so he opened the curtains again and tied his tie with the help of the reflection of the glass.
He saw the pale little girl again, but this time she did not stare at Schiller directly, but sat on the swing next to the flower pavilion, lowering her head and wondering what she was thinking.
After a while, a waiter ran over, seemingly wanting to take the little girl away, but the little girl shook her head, and the waiter also acted a little afraid to approach, and could only leave with his head back every few steps.
Schiller watched for a while, and then found that the little girl suddenly turned her head to look at him, her eyes were still a little empty and numb, and with her pale face, she looked very creepy.
Schiller wrote on the window glass: "If you encounter any trouble, please come here to find me, if not, come and have a cup of tea."
From the little girl's eyes, it can be seen that she was reading this passage carefully, but she seemed to be unable to understand it. It was not that she did not understand the meaning of the text, but that she did not understand why Schiller said these words.
After tidying up his tie, Schiller looked at the brooch plate on the shoe cabinet at the door.
Hummingbirds represent good omens in the West, so they are easily used as decorative elements in some decorations, and are quite popular among women. Sailfish are regarded as representatives of power because of their extremely fast speed and strong body in the ocean. They are usually decorative elements that superiors and men are willing to wear.
These two brooches are not very rare. Although they are not as common as flowers and suns, there are several styles to choose from. Schiller originally looked at the sailfish brooch, but his fingers ran across the shining brooch plate, and finally picked up a small but golden hummingbird brooch and wore it in the center of his suit pocket.
After sorting out the details of the clothing, Schiller walked back to the window, but did not stand in the center of the window, but stood on the side with the curtains hanging, looking at the garden at an angle.
The little girl was no longer standing or sitting on the swing in a daze. She walked to the side of the bushes and stared at another figure, a boy who was slightly older than her.
The boy shrank behind the porch. As soon as he took a step, the little girl clenched her hands, stretched her head out and screamed at him very harshly, making some unsystematic sounds from her mouth, and waving her arms continuously, describing a particularly terrifying posture.
The boy seemed frightened, stamped his feet, ran back to call for help, and soon a group of waiters rushed out and took the little girl away from the scene.
Schiller watched all this silently, but his focus was different from those charlatans who also saw this farce from the window, or they noticed the same thing, but their views were different.
Schiller saw that six tall and strong middle-aged maids rushed up, but they couldn't completely hold the little girl down for a while. It was only later that two male servants came and successfully carried the little girl away.
