Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 286 Wild Linglan

   "Xiaoyin, you just said that when the knock on the door hit your door, did you open the door directly?" the fool asked, "After opening the door, there is no strange sound?"

   "After opening the door, I didn't hear any more knocks." Xiaolan said firmly.

"Could it be..." Bai Su held on to the door frame, looking like he had been hit. "The knocking thing is looking for one of us and knocking on sister Qin Yin's door, who... Didn’t that Uncle Luo come out? That thing... found its goal..."

  An invisible thing.

  Things that even Lao Luo’s Panlong Pond can’t find.

  Unimaginable.

  Xiaolan described the rotten monster to his companions again. Before a few people responded, a clear and loud bell came from downstairs.

  "Dingling!——Dingling!——Dingling!——"

  It's breakfast time.

   "Hisuo must know something," the Taoist commander looked at the crowd, "wait a minute, let's try to ask."

   Seeing that Luo Jiutian’s calm attitude was not as pretended, everyone stopped being hypocritical and went straight to the restaurant on the first floor.

  Hisuo put on a black-and-white vertical pattern work clothes, and was standing upright at the entrance of the restaurant to greet them.

  The road chief took the wet towel handed by Xisuo and wiped his hands a few times, glanced at the restaurant, and pretended to ask casually, "Mr. Xisuo, are you the only employee here?"

   "In the white castle, butlers, cooks, and gardeners are all available, but I usually receive guests."

  A few people walked into the restaurant quietly.

  The long table is still there, but the seats have changed a bit.

  There are still four chairs on the left, only three on the right, and the set of tableware for the main seat is still displayed.

   "How come there are only eight sets of tableware?" the Taoist asked.

   "There are only eight guests, of course there are only eight sets of tableware." Hisoso led several people into the seats.

   "How did you know that we are missing one person?" The fool stood aside and asked with awe-inspiring eyes.

   "One missing?" Hisuo's gaze swept across the crowd, "Aren't all eight here?"

   "We had nine people last night." Xiaoyin couldn't wait to interrupt.

   "Nine?" Hisuo was taken aback, and then laughed, "Miss Qin Yin may have counted the wrong number. When you came to the White Castle last night, there were eight people."

   After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that a few people would not believe it. He pointed upstairs and added, "There are just eight rooms on the second floor for you to live in. How many...have you forgotten?"

   "We mean, since there are only a few of us, Xisuo, you can eat with us." The Taoist explained.

  Hisuo's brows stretched out, "Dear kind guests, the host is not here, and the rules of the White Castle are also there. Hiso will not hinder your meal. Thank you for your kindness."

  Dao Chang nodded with a stiff smile.

  Everything has changed.

  Luo Jiutian's eyes fell gloomy, the Taoist chief patted his shoulder, and the two sat side by side to the right.

   "Uncle Hisso said last night that there will be monsters in the forest," Xiaolan asked innocently, holding up a fork, "What kind of monster is it?"

  Hisuo's mouth twitched.

   "Some uncommon animals can hurt people," Sisuo replied, "In the daytime...usually they don't appear."

   "That's it..." Xiaolan nodded, then turned to ask Baomu, who was sitting on the right side, "Can Brother Baomu still smell a strange smell?"

  Baomu was concentrating on eating an omelette, and was frightened by Xiaolan's "Brother Baomu".

   "Ahem, ahem... and..." Baomu glanced at Hisuo, "A little bit more..."

   "Maybe the kitchen warehouse has not been cleaned up," Hisoso said quickly, "I will ask them to clean it up again."

   "Hisuo, might as well take us around today," said the Taoist with a smile, "this castle and garden are so beautiful, you have to take a look."

   "Hisuo had this intention." Hiso agreed.

After eating breakfast in silence, the few people looked at the study room, conference room, lounge and small meeting room on the first floor of the castle under the guidance of Hisuo. Hisuo was just about to lead them out to the garden. So Su stopped.

   "Here...this..." Bai Su seemed to have plucked up a lot of courage, "Where's the kitchen? Kitchen we...we want to take a look too."

   "The kitchen is very messy, not suitable for guests to watch," Hisoso opened the door, "The east corner of the garden just bloomed a bunch of wild lily of the valley last night, I will bring..."

   "We want to see the kitchen." Bai Su insisted.

   Xiaoyin looked at the stalemate Bai Su and Xisuo, and said, "This kid has been clamoring that the steak is fried very delicious last night, I want to take a look..."

  Bai Su gave Xiao Yin a grateful look.

   "Well, it's super delicious," Xiaolan also helped, "I also want to see how it is cooked."

  Although I have not finished eating.

  Hisuo’s embarrassed face softened, “The chefs left after preparing breakfast. It’s a pity, it’s better to take a few people to visit before lunch.”

  Speaking of this, no matter how persistent it is, it won’t be good.

  Today, there was a refreshing breeze outside, and the flowers of a garden swayed in the wind, looking quiet and romantic.

   Xiaolan stood next to the newly opened lily of the valley and turned to look towards the second floor of the castle.

  The window on the far right should be in my room, and the one next to it belongs to Xiaoyin.

  The next room, which should have belonged to Lao Luo, has now disappeared with Lao Luo.

  The whole castle, except the kitchen and all the bathrooms, they have seen it all, there is no place to hide.

  Where can Lao Luo go?

  The wind is getting stronger.

  Xiaolan just wanted to come up with the idea of ​​spreading around in the garden. Dark clouds covered it, and the strong wind blew up. Hisuo hurriedly urged the guests to return to the castle.

   Xiaolan followed Dao into the study, Luo Jiutian was also in it.

   "Nine days have noticed, too." The Taoist said in a low voice.

  Luo Jiutian nodded, pursing his mouth.

  "What did you notice?" Xiaolan couldn't understand.

  "Some of the lilies of the valley were trampled down and buried in the grass," said the Taoist. "It is difficult to see if you don't look closely, but there is indeed a small shoe print on the soil."

  "Is it Uncle Luo's shoe print?" Xiaolan asked.

"It's hard to tell," the Taoist replied, "but the lily of the valley was newly opened last night, indicating that someone walked there in the middle of the night. It may be Vice-hui Luo, or it may be... Xiaolan you saw monster."

  That monster...

  Wearing shoes or not? Xiaolan raised her head and thought hard, but didn't pay attention.

   "It's not convenient in front of Hisuo. We have to explore tonight. Maybe we can find clues to Luo Vicehui's disappearance."

  Luo Jiutian nodded. He seemed to be in good spirits, but his eyes were anxious.

  Before lunch, Hisoso found them and took them to the kitchen to watch the cooking process up close. The chefs were well-trained and watched without being distracted. They cut vegetables and fired in an orderly manner.

  The kitchen is neat and clean, not like a secret place.

  The entire castle is so white.

  But the secret, there must be.
