Chapter 12 The Blood-Red Room (12)

Seeing that it was almost dinner time, the girls came to the restaurant one after another.

Except for the kitchen and utility room, which Mrs. Schreck was forbidden to enter, Huo Ran visited every part of the castle and found nothing. No clues were found.

The door was locked with a thick iron chain, making it impossible to get out.

Unless there is a second door to escape from.

The girls sat timidly and neatly on the dining chairs, not daring to speak.

The church put them on the carriage and asked them to choose a countess. They didn't know what they would face.

Mrs. Schreck came, and behind her the maids placed trays in front of each girl.

"Enjoy it slowly and go back to your room after dinner." Mrs. Schreck glanced at everyone and her eyes paused on Huo Ran. "If anyone leaves the room after nine o'clock, we will not be responsible for anything that happens."

After saying that, he took the maids and left.

The restaurant was quiet for a few seconds, and then Mota slammed the table, startling everyone.

Murtaugh's long golden curly hair hung down to one side. She said: "Girls, we can't stay here anymore, we have to escape!"

Ella said timidly: "Why? Aren't we here to choose a countess?"

Murtaugh stared at her: "Have you not seen the people who are burned to death on the streets every day?"

Ella thought about her nightmare where Susie was tied to the stake.

"...aren't those people witches? Witches are bad people, aren't they burned to protect us?"

"Wrong!" Mota looked around at the confused girls, with tears in his eyes, "My sister was also burned to death by the church. She was only five years old! Where could there be a five-year-old witch? The one who escorted us here was It’s the church, don’t you understand?”

Huo Ran stood up and everyone looked at her.

"Yes, our fate is in our own hands. Our families have given up on us, but we still have each other. We must escape."

He Qingqing did not forget the main mission, she responded: "Yes, we still have each other."

Miao Xin and Di Zhou are staunch supporters of Huo Ran, and of course they will support him unconditionally: "We have to survive, we have to escape!"

Mota scolded Tang Qian, who was sitting next to him: "Why don't you say anything?"

Tang Qian: "...I agree, I will join."

Although the other girls were hesitant, they all agreed after thinking about it.

They didn't want to be countesses, they were forced into it by their families.

If you can escape, run away.

"Then I'll join too..."

"Count me in."

"My father drinks and beats me every day, so I have to run away, far away!"

Motta smiled, and she moved her hair, revealing half of her face that was covered by her hair.

Huo Ran saw a vague flower shape on the side of her face.

"what is this?"

Motta touched his face carelessly: "This is the most fashionable tattoo now. Does it look good?"

Suddenly I thought of that photo.

In the blazing flames, the girl's perseverance, smiling and weeping face was as dazzling as the flowers on her face.

"It looks very good and suits you very well." Huo Ran said softly.

……

……

Since there were faceless maids walking around, seemingly deliberately spying on them, the escape was scheduled for after nine o'clock.

"There's still one hour left," He Qingqing said. "You said those maids don't even have eyes. How can they see the road? They don't have mouths either. Where do they make sounds? Do they eat or not drink water?" Are you thirsty? There’s more…”

There was a lot of noise in Huo Ran's ears, so she closed her eyes: "Of course things in the game cannot be dictated by ordinary logic. Are you sleepy? Take a rest."

"I'm really not sleepy. I felt like I was under anesthesia when I mutated. I can't remember anything. I slept pretty well..." He Qingqing clicked her tongue, "I just remember the soup you fed me. The taste. It’s really good. What did you put in it? I’ll make some for myself when I get out.”

Huo Ran smiled: "You don't want to know, just let this be a secret, okay?"

He Qingqing looked at her suspiciously: "Exclusive secret recipe, cannot be shared outside?"

"That's right," Huo Ran said vaguely, "You probably won't be able to drink after you go out."

She didn't want to make soup made with toads a second time.

The whole castle was extremely dark. As soon as the nine o'clock bell rang, sixteen girls in eight rooms came out of the door.

This is a dangerous escape, and it is also a path that sixteen people cannot turn back on.

There were iron nets outside all the windows on the first and second floors, making it impossible to escape. They decided to escape through a window on the third floor.

After locking the door, he tied the bed sheets and bed sheets together, threw them out of the window, fixed the other end, and turned back suddenly: "Who comes first?"

The girls looked out a little timidly, it was too high for them.

Miao Xin took the lead. As a former man... he was willing to be the first experimental subject.

"I'll go first."

Di Zhou followed closely: "I'm second."

Huo Ran nodded in approval: "Okay, pay attention to safety."

Miao Xin grabbed the sheets and climbed down slowly.

He was very happy, raised his head and waved, indicating that he could come down.

The second one is Di Zhou.

The third one is Mota.

……

In the end, only Huo Ran and Ella were left.

Ella looked at her.

Huo Ran touched her plush head and said, "Go ahead."

"You are a good person." Ella suddenly said without any clue. Huo Ran was slightly stunned, but Ella had already climbed down quickly.

Suddenly there was the sound of a key opening the door behind him.

Huo Ran's heart tightened, and he looked down and made a decision.

She waved her hand for them to go ahead.

Miao Xin didn't understand, but Huo Ran made a gesture and he understood.

When on a mission, Huo Ran would make this gesture whenever he wanted to search for something.

Miao Xin said ok and said something to everyone. The girls nodded and followed Mo Ta and Miao Xin towards the castle gate.

Let's go, let's go, it will be safe as long as we get out of the gate, Huo Ran thought silently in his heart.

The door opened behind her, and Mrs. Schreck came towards her with a smile, unexpectedly not angry.

Huo Ran's eyes turned cold, and the bone-cutting knife appeared in his hand.

"Hey, I don't want to fight with you, how ungraceful," Mrs. Schreck smiled, walked to Huo Ran, patted her stiff shoulder gently, and pointed to the girls, "Look!"

Huo Ran moved a little and walked around behind Mrs. Schreck before taking a look at her with confidence.

Not far away, girls were walking with joy, looking forward to the freedom after escaping.

A group of people holding torches appeared. Their bodies were slender, their eyes were bulging, and their grins were scary.

Huo Ran's pupils shrank and he took a step forward.

Mrs. Schreck held her shoulders and whispered with poisonous eyes: "Don't worry, your opponent is us."

Huo Ranruo felt something and stepped back.

The earl outside the dim door smiled eerily.

"It's my turn to kill you this time."

……

……

"What should I do? Where is Zhang Jianguo..." He Qingqing panicked and subconsciously looked back to look for Huo Ran.

At the window on the third floor, Huo Ran and Count Schreck's wife were face to face. He Qingqing covered her mouth: "What's wrong, look!"

The girls were forced back step by step by the witch hunter and looked up when they heard this.

Miao Xin hurried back, he had to protect the boss!

"Di Zhou, come with me quickly! The boss is in danger!"

Mota was so anxious that he stamped his feet: "Hey, don't run back! Damn it, how did they know we were going to escape!"

There was a moment of chaos below.

Some people ran back, some tried to rush out, and some stayed put.

The earl said viciously: "Aren't you very powerful? Kill people to pay for their lives, come and pay for my life!!!"

Huo Ran: "I can kill you once, and I can kill you a second time. But your resurrection mechanism is quite interesting. If you die here, will you never be resurrected again?"

The Count heard this and glanced at Mrs. Schreck.

Huo Ran was amused: "Why do you always look at her? Can she still protect you?"

The earl choked, yes, he didn't see her protecting him before he died last time.

Thinking of this, the earl took a step back hesitantly and hid behind Mrs. Schreck: "...She is right. I only have one life. Can you not let me..."

"Idiot!" Mrs. Schreck was so angry that she gave him a slap on the head. "She is cheating on you. Why don't you have any brains at all?"

"It turns out you really only have one life left. Look at her, she doesn't protect you and beats you, and you still sacrifice your life for her," Huo Ran sympathized, "Why don't you join us? I swear, after killing her, the whole The castle belongs to you alone, and you no longer have to listen to her orders."

Mrs. Schreck was furious when she saw the count's eyes rolling around: "You idiot, if I die, do you think you can run away?! Why don't you go and catch her for me!"

The count rushed forward, this time he was much smarter.

He knew that Huo Ran had a knife in his hand, so he didn't get very close to her. He only used his tongue and his long palm to play with it quickly, and then ran away after hitting her.

Soon there were many cuts on Huo Ran's clothes and cuts on his face.

What a great speed.

Miao Xin had already climbed up: "I'm here to help you, boss..." Seeing a big toad in the room, he clicked his tongue, "This toad has been practicing for many years to become a spirit, and it's actually so big!"

"You are the toad and I am the toad, ignorant human being!" The count stretched out his tongue to roll up Miao Xin and was about to eat him.

Huo Ran's eyebrows jumped and he was about to rush forward, but Mrs. Schreck spoke at this time.

"Stupid thing, you can't eat it yet! How do you expect me to do my job if one is missing..."

The atmosphere below was also very anxious at this time.

A dozen slender witch hunters didn't say a word, holding torches to force the girls back. Several girls who tried to rush out had been knocked unconscious and thrown aside.

"Damn, why are there witch hunters here?" Murtaugh said, "They really want to-"

A thick mist spread over, and Huoran glanced sideways.

There were many people standing in the heavy fog. Their faces could not be seen clearly, only their long hair hanging down.

But Mo Ta below could see it clearly and fell to the ground in fright.

"those people……"

He Qingqing didn't know why she looked.

In the thick fog, dozens of girls dressed in white were hung on the torture rack, their necks tilted and their eyes looking straight at them.

Those are the dead ones.

The fog filled the air, and I didn't know what was in the fog. Everyone was choked and coughed, and within a few seconds, everyone fainted and fell to the ground.

Huo Ran covered her mouth and nose, but it didn't work. She looked around and chose to lie calmly on the bed.

Since she would definitely be stunned, she chose the most elegant way.

Mrs. Schreck was speechless watching her operation and ordered the count.

"Why don't you throw her into the basement? The princes and princesses are coming soon!"
