Chapter 194
"Light the candles!"
"The windows are closed, where is the wind coming from?!"
"Light, turn on the light!"
After the candles were extinguished, the room was dark, and everyone panicked for a while. The sound of wind, shouting, clothes rubbing, chairs pushing, and metal crashing mixed together, adding a lot of horror to the invisible room. atmosphere.
Although everyone was sitting around the table, the table was relatively large. If they let go of their holding hands, they would not feel the presence of the people around them at all in this black mist.Croto had already let go of Ji Qiming's hand, so Ji Qiming had no choice but to lean towards Wu Ming and hug Wu Ming's arm tightly. The warmth came from the contact between the two, and he gradually felt at ease.
"Ah---!!!"
Suddenly, a woman's scream sounded from beside him, but it stopped abruptly as if someone had choked her throat. Ji Qiming turned his head in that direction, only to hear a sound like a sword cutting flesh,
It seemed that something heavy fell on the table.
The bones rolled around twice, and then some hot, sticky, slippery liquid with a fishy-sweet smell splashed out, splashing all over his head and face.
"What is this?!" Many people exclaimed,
Including Ji Qiming himself.
"Quiet me up!!" The prince pushed the chair, stood up and shouted loudly. His voice was calm, powerful, and extremely majestic. It penetrated layers of darkness and chaotic noise, and instantly quieted the chaotic scene. down.
"Mephistos," ordered the prince, "light the lamps. Everyone else, stand where you are!"
"Of order." The butler agreed,
Then footsteps sounded,
Moving towards the door, the door squeaked and opened slowly.
A little light came in from outside the door, but unfortunately it couldn't dispel the deep darkness in the room. Fortunately, the butler quickly came in with a few kerosene lamps, placed the lamps in several corners of the room, and lit them up again. A few candlesticks in the room.
The light quickly dispelled the black fog in the house,
The reappeared light made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but when everyone looked into the room, the sight that caught their eyes made several girls scream again.
beside the round table,
Crotor's headless body was slumped on the chair, blood was still spraying from her neck, and her head rolled down on the table, staring at the prince with unconcerned eyes.
"Ah!!" Ji Qiming was also taken aback, and almost jumped into Wu Ming's arms, only then did he realize that a lot of Croto's blood had been splashed on his body.It wasn't just him, the people who were sitting close to Crotor just now basically suffered, only Medea and the prince who were far away survived.
The prince's eagle-like eyes scanned everything in the room, and he said in a deep voice, "All men, draw out your swords and hold them in the air!"
Everyone didn't know why, but they all followed suit one by one. Ji Qiming and the butler didn't have swords, but the rest of them did.I saw that including the prince's own, all six sabers were lifted in the air, and each sword was incomparable!Bright, not a single drop of blood.
Ji Qiming instantly understood the meaning of the Prince's move,
Whoever cut off Crotor's head,
His body and weapons were stained with a large amount of blood, and there were too many people around who were affected by the blood, and even the scabbards of many people's swords were stained with bright red, but only the prisoner's sword was covered with blood. There will be blood on the sword.
But actually,
All passed the inspection.
──Who is that?
With what weapon was Crotor killed?
"Curse! It's a curse!!" Cassandra screamed while covering her face, "Because we summoned a demon! The ceremony was stopped abruptly! It must be the curse of the demon! He is asking for a blood sacrifice!! "
"Nonsense!" Michael scolded angrily.
"What is that!" Medea suddenly pointed to the table with sharp eyes, and saw a blood-stained card dropped beside Crotor's head.
Ji Qiming swallowed his saliva, walked forward, and carefully pinched the corner of the card with the tip of his forefinger and forefinger, which was also a Tarot card.Under the light, Ji Qiming's eyes were dazzled by the bright red blood stained on the sharp sickle held tightly by the god of death on the card.
He couldn't help having an illusion—this Crotor, couldn't he be killed by the scythe of death, right?
"I didn't expect that such a tragedy would happen on my birthday." The prince said solemnly,
"This case will be handed over to Michael and Felice for investigation.
As the chief and deputy captain of my guard,
You are good enough. "
"Yes." Wu Ming looked serious, and Ji Qiming felt that he must have received a task issued by the system.
"This happened,
Everyone was frightened,
They are all very tired, and some of them are still stained with blood," said the prince, "The housekeeper will take you to your room tonight, everyone, please take a good wash and sleep. "
He said and looked out the window: "The storm has begun, and it is estimated that it will not stop in a short time. It is too risky to leave the castle in this weather. Everyone, sleep peacefully, my Cavaliers will guarantee your safety."
──Liar, Michael himself is very likely to be the murderer.
Ji Qiming slandered,
But they still followed the housekeeper and left the house, only Wu Ming and Michael stayed behind, examining the corpses and collecting evidence.
Ji Qiming is not in a hurry, he knows that Wu Ming will definitely come to his room to exchange information with him later, all he has to do now is to collect useful clues among these men and women.However, the housekeeper didn't give him much chance to talk, and he was soon taken to the room that belonged to him.
"Good night~ Please have a good rest." The housekeeper had a mysterious smile on his face,
The door slammed shut in front of him.
Ji Qiming was startled by him,
He didn't dare to open the door rashly and went out, so he went into the bathroom first and put hot water to wash off the blood stained on his body.
Although there are no electric lights in this era, the hot water is quite powerful. Ji Qiming first washed the blood off his body, and then filled a bathtub with hot water to soak himself in it.He let out a soothing breath, and only then began to think about everything that happened that night.
From the beginning to the end of the whole seance, there was a strange atmosphere. First, the sudden black mist, the candle flame burning into characters, the hand tearing the void, and the sudden strong wind in the closed room. Everything about him exuded an evil aura of black magic, but he didn't know if it was a false deception, or if black magic really existed in this era, and if there were any demons summoned by them, or A heart of vengeance arises because of a ceremony that was abandoned halfway.
