A new squire has arrived.
As if this sentence activated some kind of mechanism, with the low and muffled voice coming into the ears, countless shadowy silhouettes suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of the eyes of the Annihilation Cultist——a glimmer of light flickered from nowhere floating in the air, illuminating an unusually wide and simple and elegant hall!
He widened his eyes, and saw that the hall was as gorgeous as a palace, but it seemed as old as it had been abandoned for decades. The platform, the huge pillars looming in the gloom, and the exquisite curtains hanging from the top of the pillars, swaying gently in the breeze coming from nowhere, and the walls around the hall are dark and empty windows-those holes. It is like the huge mouth of an evil beast. There is no light outside the window, and the window itself is tightly blocked by criss-crossing steel. A huge oil painting that cannot be seen clearly is hung between the windows. There are no specific characters or scenery on the frame. Just filled with eerie variegated color blocks.
The Annihilation Cultist looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, and then suddenly realized that the sense of restraint on his hands and feet had disappeared at some point. He took two steps forward, feeling his body return to his control, and then Subconsciously calling for the demon that lived with his soul.
However, there was only a hollow whistling in the soul, and the ghost demon that accompanied him for many years seemed to have never existed, and nothing responded to his call.
“Servant, come forward, come to the end of the rug.”
The low, muffled voice sounded again, and that time it even came directly from my mind.
“Who is it?!” The Annihilation Cultists widened their eyes in horror, looking around this gorgeous but empty and strange bungalow hall, but they didn’t see anyone in their field of vision.
He raised his head again and looked towards the end of the hall—the dark red carpet stretched far from his feet, and at the end of the carpet was the staircase leading to the second floor along an arc like flying wings.
For some reason, when he looked there, his legs moved uncontrollably—as if in obedience to the voice he heard just now, he walked towards the end of the carpet and walked towards the end of the staircase. It stopped a few meters away.
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded outside the alley, and the Annihilation Cultist who had just tried to escape suddenly fell from mid-air. No exception.
The butler slowly raised his arm, pointing to a black door at the end of the corridor.
Several servants were passing by the corridor, and although they had no sight, the “new servant” still felt the sense of peeping.
A whistling like a gust of wind sounded behind her, and Fan Na rushed to the entrance of the alley. Did you do it?”
“This is Alice’s mansion, and you are the new servant here,” the dull voice of the “butler” suddenly sounded, interrupting the new servant’s distraction, “Come with me, your next post is upstairs. “
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the mansion not far away.
“Why is everyone looking at me?”
The new servant nodded subconsciously, and followed behind the headless butler. He subconsciously glanced down, and found that he had also put on the clothes of a servant at some point—the same as the maids in the hall .
“It’s too late to think about this, we have to get out of here,” Fanna spoke slowly, “The movement is too loud, even if it’s not in the central city, the night watch team should have reacted.”
“It was he who grabbed my thread, and then pulled it hard—he did it first, and I was a little scared…” Alice said incoherently, gesticulating while talking, her explanation It was very effective, and after a few words, Fanna couldn’t understand even more, “Do you understand?”
The puppet bent down, took out a handkerchief from its pocket, and gently wiped the ornaments near the gate.
Alice was taken aback instantly: “Wow!”
On their necks, there are only rough bulbous protrusions, which seem to be the connecting parts of dolls, showing a texture between wood and ceramics.
The low-pitched discussion sounds from
Hearts came from their chests—because none of these servants had heads.
The “new attendant” looked at these busy servants in the hall in astonishment, and was in a daze for a while.
“Because he is the first servant with a head,” the butler stopped, turned around, and there seemed to be a smile in his voice, “Besides, there have been no newcomers here for many years.”
The puppet takes a step forward.
The “new attendant” said with a trembling voice, he couldn’t remember why he came to this closed big bungalow, nor could he remember his name and origin, he only felt an instinctive fear , A strange sense of weirdness was eroding his heart little by little. He looked at the headless butler in front of him, and summoned up the courage to ask. From all directions.
“This… what is this place!?”
“…I don’t understand,” Fan Na shook her head, then looked back at the depths of the alley, where there was a mass of charred wreckage that was emitting faint black smoke, “Damn it, the priest I dealt with has arrived In the end, he didn’t open his mouth, the one on his side was simply broken, and there was no information left in the end.”
Passing the last step, he raised his head and looked at the platform in front of him and the corridor inside the platform.
The new attendant bent over like this, and slowly backed away until he exited the room, the door of sleeping Alice was slammed shut in front of his eyes, emitting a low and majestic roar.
There was no trace of blood in the shattered porcelain fragments, as if he had been just a fired puppet from the beginning—flesh and blood, but his illusion.
“What does it mean?!”
Beyond this bed, at the end of the bedroom, where the wall should have been, there is only an expanse of darkness—this seems to lead to a remote and deep space, where the floor, wall and roof are presented. Fragmented postures, chaotic dark phantoms and countless flickering light spots in the distance slowly undulate, turning into grotesque light and shadow phantoms, agitating silently at the end of the bedroom, whispering and wandering in the darkness.
“What are you going to do?” the new squire asked cautiously.
“Go ahead, open this door and say hello to the hostess.”
Every time he stepped on a step, he became more determined and hesitant. At first, he vaguely remembered that he did not belong here, and then, he only remembered that he seemed to be trapped in a strange bungalow. , when he was only a few steps away from the second floor, he only remembered what the housekeeper told him——
This body is standing upright in front of the stairs, the dress on her body is meticulous, a corner of a folded handkerchief can be seen in the breast pocket, and a fine gold chain of a pocket watch sticks out from the other pocket , holding a copper bell in one hand, and stretching the other hand to the back—this posture is like a butler welcoming newcomers, a trusted manager who manages a bungalow.
The new attendant nodded, turned and walked towards the gate.
The figures dressed in servants and maid costumes are busy in the hall. They are obviously the servants who take care of this huge bungalow. These servants will stop when they pass by the stairs, as if they are curiously looking at the newcomer.
His steps were steady, his expression gradually calmed down, his limbs swayed, and finally became as stiff as those servants in the hall. He came to this door, stretched out his hands, and glanced calmly. Through the wrist that has turned into a ball joint—it pushes the door open with a slight force.
In an elegant bedroom that can almost be described as huge~IndoMTL.com~A gorgeous big bed is placed in the center of the room. Lie quietly on the bed, falling asleep soundly.
The new attendant turned into a puppet stood at the door of the bedroom, staring dully at the beautiful puppet sleeping soundly on the bed, and the undulating darkness behind the puppet—then it bent down and respectfully saluted the mistress.
“…I don’t know,” Alice blinked her eyes, and looked back a little dullly, “Um…probably?”
“Does that mean the captain will be dissatisfied?”
Were there that many people here before? When I first came to this hall, was it so silent?
But I don’t have a head. On this body in a black dress, there is only a bare neck, as if… the joint of the doll is very special.
This piece of surging darkness and light spots is like a puppet’s bizarre dream, and it seems like an invisible thing trying to invade this bungalow, blocked from reality by the puppet’s deep sleep.
“Serve our hostess, become a member here, you will naturally know what to do, but before that, you should go to say hello to the hostess…”
It was a body in a black dress—a headless body.
A figure suddenly appeared here.
His mind became more and more muddled, and more and more memories were being pulled out of this body, as if the things that were not “no longer needed” were impurities that hindered him from performing his duties as a servant in this bungalow.
“Plop—”
“Wow——”
He turned his head in amazement and looked at the scene in the hall——
But the attendant’s face never changed again.
Some dark silk threads extended from his limbs, floated in the air, and disappeared in an instant.
