Chapter 196 The Secret of the Library
"Now there are four Tarot cards in total. The Fool and the Pope in our hands, the suspected Death that fell beside Croton, plus this lover... It seems that we have to figure out the tower first. Only Luo’s secret can solve the riddle here.” Wu Ming squatted down and flipped through the other books, then stood up without finding anything.
"There are 22 cards in the Major Arcana. If everyone has one card, then there are only [-] cards... Then where are the extra cards?" Ji Qiming rubbed his temples, "If the distribution of the cards It's not average, it's even worse, we can't guess who has which cards... and how are these tarot cards used? Summoning? If the death card summons death and kills Crotor , what can the lover summon?"
"Maybe each card has its own way of using it?" Wu Ming looked at the lover card over and over again, "For example, casting a curse on the person I have a crush on to make him fall in love with me..."
"Hey, do you think Michael is holding this card?" Ji Qiming moved his head gossipingly, "He sees if the séance will not succeed, so he secretly summons His Majesty the Demon King here..."
Wu Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Probably not,
I think that even if Michael holds a card, it should be a trial or something... Does it fit the personality of the licensee? "
Ji Qiming pondered for a while before reacting, "Hey, hey,
Are you calling me stupid? ! "
"Who told you to hold the Fool?" Wu Ming shrugged.
Ji Qiming couldn't help but rushed forward to pat him,
Wu Ming easily moved sideways, but Ji Qiming bumped into the bookshelf behind Wu Ming, and the bookshelf shook.
Drop a few books.
"Be careful!" Wu Ming hurriedly pulled Ji Qiming away,
Immediately, I felt that I was a little too molested.
The book fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and they only heard a click. It seemed that some mechanism was activated, and the sound of gears turning came from all around. The bookshelf next to them began to move slowly, revealing a black hole.
"Secret way!" Ji Qiming exclaimed excitedly. He looked at the bookshelf where the book had fallen before, and found a book suddenly lying sideways on the shelf. He stepped forward to straighten the book, and saw the secret way Close it slowly again, pull down the book again, and the secret passage slowly opens again.
"To be able to find the mechanism by accident like this..." Wu Ming couldn't help but lamented their good luck.
"So, just now Michael should have really seen who came into this room, but when he and we rushed in, that person had already escaped through the secret passage." Ji Qiming went to the secret passage and poked his head in, "This There should also be a switch in the secret passage to restore the bookshelf to its original state."
"Then the question is, who exactly did Michael see?" Wu Ming held his chin, "He just said,
Be careful not to be bitten off by the witch..."
"Did he see a girl?"
This way the scope is much smaller, after all, among the thirteen people,
There are only five girls, and now one Croto is dead, with a [-]/[-] chance of guessing, right?
"Medea should be ruled out," Ji Qiming's mind was spinning rapidly, "Michael just now had the expression of seeing the murderer, and drew his sword with murderous aura. It is estimated that there will be no such reaction to murder in the scene of killing with a knife."
"In this case, there are only three people left, Cassandra, Leah, and Miranda." Wu Ming said, "Let's chase down and see.
There might be some clues to be found. "
As he spoke, he took a kerosene lamp from the side and lit it,
Holding the lamp, they got into the secret passage first, and Ji Qiming followed. Sure enough, they found a small switch at the entrance of the secret passage, and after pressing it, the secret passage door was closed.
There was only one downward staircase in the secret passage, but after a short walk, the two of them came to the flat road, and after turning a corner along that road,
Seeing that the road ahead turned into an upward ladder again, the two of them climbed for a while, and finally walked out from a closet.
"Where is this?" Ji Qiming found this room quite familiar.
"The lounge on the second floor." Wu Ming looked around, "It's the room where Medea brought you to find me."
Ji Qiming opened the door and looked, and sure enough, there was the familiar long corridor outside.
"This ancient castle can be divided into four parts." Wu Ming took out a roll of castle map that he didn't know where he got it and spread it on the table in the lounge, "We are currently on the second floor of the main castle in the center of the castle.
There is a tower connected to the main castle on the left and right sides of the castle, and the hall on the first floor has a glass corridor that leads to the atrium and the greenhouse at the back.I asked Michael about the situation in the castle before when I learned about the defense arrangements.The left and right towers are rarely used and are basically used for storage. The first floor of the left tower is the kitchen and servants’ room, and the first floor of the right tower is the library we just turned into. "
"The secret path goes down first and then up. It should first go around the underground of the main castle and then connect to the wardrobe in the lounge on the second floor." With Ji Qiming's understanding, a complete line appeared on the map of his system interface. The secret path is marked, and the part of the tower is also annotated according to Wu Ming's explanation.
"The main castle is not high, and there are only three floors that are actually in use. The first floor is the restaurant, the ballroom, and the small room where we held the séance before. Outside the lounge is the suite where the eleven of us live. The prince's own room is on the third floor. In order to facilitate the prince's needs,
The housekeeper also lives upstairs. "
"In the dead of night, it should be quite easy for anyone to go out of the lounge and sneak back to his room." Ji Qiming said distressedly, "There is no surveillance video in this era."
Beep, the system prompts: "Players who use prohibited words will receive a warning reminder once and will be banned for ten minutes. If they repeat the offense, they will be warned by the system."
Ji Qiming covered his mouth with tears streaming down his face.
Wu Ming looked at him helplessly,
She patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.
They carefully turned the lounge upside down and found no more clues. Wu Ming thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to Medea and ask about the Tarot?"
"Why are you looking for Medea?" Being silenced in the game doesn't mean that you can't talk in reality, and Ji Qiming couldn't help but feel lucky that they live together.
"Because she is the least suspicious, even if we take out the Tarot card of our lover, we won't cause any trouble." Wu Ming explained briefly.
"But, do you know which room she lives in?" Ji Qiming was curious.
