I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

Chapter 55 The Bloody Castle ()

The wooden stairs creaked when stepped on, as if they were not strong and could break at any time.

Xia Qimiao tried her best to walk as gently as possible, and the Devouring Rose left three clones on her body, namely the helmet mask, the main body around her neck, and the vine climbing on her right arm.

She ran her fingers along the rope on her right arm, planning to throw it out and use it as a rope if she fell.

Fortunately, there was no danger and she reached the second floor smoothly.

There are four rooms on this floor, three of which are open like the mayor's bedroom, study room and guest bedroom.

The guest bedroom was very neatly tidied, as if the owner had known for a long time that guests would come from afar today and had specially tidied it up for this purpose.

In comparison, the master bedroom seems much messier, or in other words, full of life.

The heavy curtains were tightly closed, and no light came in from the window.

Xia Qimiao turned on the flashlight. The stable light source gave her a great sense of security. There were no strange things here.

The quilt was thrown down casually, and there were a lot of parchments scattered on the bed, covered with unknown symbols.

She originally wanted to pick up two of them, but she couldn't put them in the item inventory and the clothes on her body didn't have storage space, so she had to give up temporarily.

The table is placed under the window so that the owner of the room can have a panoramic view of the outside scenery while sitting at the table.

The tabletop was extremely clean and the drawers were empty, as if they had been deliberately cleaned without leaving anything behind.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps on the top of the building, which made Xia Qimiao feel nervous.

Someone must be running in the attic.

She made a decision and left the room quickly, searching for a way to the attic.

During the search, she found that the stairs leading to the attic were in dilapidated condition, with only some fragments of wood left scattered among the remains of the stairs.

The fracture marks between the fragments are very new, the damage is very irregular, and there is no smell of decay.

These show that it is not aging naturally, but has been deliberately damaged, as if someone is preventing others from walking up the stairs, or preventing something from coming down.

Xia Qimiao pointed his flashlight at the wreckage all the way up, and finally shone into a dark passage, which was the "door" of the attic.

Just when she was hesitating whether to throw a vine up, she happened to see something hanging from the door, and she subconsciously took a step back.

It's yellow hair.

I don't know if it was her imagination, but the air in the corridor became colder.

The light of the flashlight flashed crazily, and in the flickering light, a woman's face appeared upside down in front of her eyes.

She was so thin that there was no flesh on her cheeks, as if there was only a layer of human skin covering her head.

Her eyeballs were bulging, horrifyingly large, and her pale lips were twisted into a misshapen smile.

Every time the flashlight flashed, her smile grew a little bigger.

"I saw the bloody castle, come with me!"

Her voice was as sinister as coming from purgatory, smelling of malice.

The coldness was like a bone-deep snake, slowly spreading up Xia Qimiao's back. It felt so real, as if something was really walking on her back.

She involuntarily turned her gaze and faced a green vine that had just come up.

...She grabbed it with her backhand and threw it in the direction of the woman.

The rattan reacted and quickly and flexibly wrapped around the thin neck, choking the woman's throat urgently.

Xia Qimiao tried his best to pull her down, but her neck stretched longer and longer.

Finally, the head came to her side and exposed its tusks on both sides to her. 【Talent - Coward is in effect, your attack value is rising sharply. 】

Xia Qimiao hit him hard with the hammer in his other hand. The woman screamed and jerked her neck back.

[Effect - Demon Breaking is attached, the damage received by the opponent is doubled~]

How could she let her go so easily? The arm crossbow appeared out of thin air, and the arrow flew away through the wind, hitting her protruding eyeball.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--"

The woman screamed sharply, but Xia Qimiao showed no mercy. He wrapped the vine around his arm twice more and smashed the hammer down on her head.

She was afraid, she was afraid, so she used strength and vented all her emotions in her attacks.

The woman couldn't break free from the vines. She stretched out her two skinny arms desperately, trying to deal with it.

But her hands couldn't be as long as her extended neck, and even if they could, they couldn't withstand Xia Qimiao's violent attacks.

She exposed her sharp nails and scratched at her neck, trying to cut it off.

Eventually, she succeeded.

The decapitated woman immediately ran away, leaving only black and red blood stains on the ground and a head with half of her neck attached.

Xia Qimiao's center of gravity suddenly became unstable. When he was about to fall to the ground, he quickly used the hammer to support the ground, and then he remained standing without falling.

Her expression was stiff, but her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was about to explode. The warm blood filled with mercury flowed to her limbs, and she slowly regained her composure.

The light of the flashlight has not returned to normal, but the flashing frequency is much lower than before.

The red vine next to her felt her violent heartbeat, and thought she was so happy and excited that she acted like this, so he very "intimately" directed the vine to hold the flat head in front of her eyes, like a treasure.

...It’s okay to crawl up from behind to scare her just now, but now he wants to bring something to disgust her. I can’t have this pet anymore.

"I hate being dirty, messy, and ugly." Xia Qimiao said this again, a little dazed, wondering where the strange thing she said this to last time was.

She thought of Sun Buchou, and her anger burned. If it weren't for these two tricks, she wouldn't be scared here.

If you add more money, you must add more money. When you go back, you will double their rent, no, triple it.

She wants to raise the price severely.

The Devouring Rose heard her words and noticed her anger. She threw her head away and wiped off the blood stains on the vines on the clean floor to make herself look neither dirty nor ugly.

"Can the head talk?" Xia Qimiao asked aloud.

A section of green rattan waved, which meant negative.

"Then eat it and don't let me see any more blood or residue."

Hong Teng screamed softly, like a solemn promise.

After the vine rolled up its head and absorbed the blood, Xia Qimiao's flashlight finally stopped flashing.

Although the flash of light can remind her, it flashed on the woman's face just now, and the scene that was originally only 70% terrifying was exaggerated into 10%. Can this problem be corrected?

The red vine stretched out in front of her eyes and pointed to the first floor.

Only then did Xia Qimiao remember that she had a temporary teammate dragging a brown beard down there.

This green vine just came over, probably wanting to ask her to go down and check the situation.

There was so much movement on the second floor just now, but there was no reaction below. I wonder if something happened.
