Chapter 8 Chapter 4 The Castle (Part 1)

This tired world will always give people unimaginable surprises. Of course, the so-called surprises are sometimes not always worthy of joy. There are few things in the world that are going smoothly, but many are suffering. I suddenly remembered the words of the British romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley: The past belongs to death, and the future belongs to yourself.Winter has come, can spring be far behind? Where is the spring of my life? I have never dared to expect it, but autumn in Norway is really cold, especially in the barren and uninhabited mountainous fields. I, the old woman, and the guardian girl stuffed some food into the accompanying backpack, and then searched a long way along the sniper's lurking position.

The scenery of Norway is beautiful, with rolling hills and blue sky and white clouds like an oil painting that has been handed down forever.But the icy air was too irritating, and it didn't take long before my face turned red from the cold.I have always been curious about the body structure of the guardian girl. She wears a thin white dress, but she doesn't feel cold. She is full of energy and has enough leisure to take care of me who is not physically strong. After walking on the ridge for a long time, Lin Zhiyan and I checked the footprints on the ground.The two snipers who committed suicide probably didn't think that they would fail, so the traces were not covered up.

An hour later, we finally found their transport, a small helicopter. There was a dark old castle not far from the plane parked on the wide lawn.I shaded the sun with my right hand and looked up a few times.The history of this ancient castle probably dates back more than a thousand years ago. After thousands of years, it still stands intact. The ancient castle standing on the top of the mountain cliff gives people a depressing atmosphere. The dark walls are covered with green and purple vines. Every time I look at it, I feel suffocated. "This place looks like a haunted house!" Lin Zhiyan took a breath, shrugged her shoulders.She climbed into the helicopter and checked, then shook her head in disappointment, "There is no key in the plane."

"The two snipers didn't have anything like a key on them, so they should have hidden them." I thought for a moment, my eyes never left the castle too far, "Maybe it's hidden in that castle." "No way." Lin Zhiyan frowned, "Why does it smell like a conspiracy?" "Yes, I thought so too." I smiled wryly. It's more than a simple conspiracy. The car was destroyed and there was no means of transportation near the silent mountainous area. The only means of transportation that could leave was the helicopter, but the keys of the helicopter were likely to be dragged there hundreds of meters away. Inside the castle with long shadows and an ominous halo.

It's too coincidental, too coincidental to be suspicious. Did the forces behind the sniper actually want to lead us into that castle from the very beginning?But what are they planning?What purpose do they have?The main question at the moment is, are we still in it? "Don't go in." Lin Zhiyan felt that the surroundings were extremely cold, so she couldn't help but move towards me, trying to borrow some heat.However, her act of taking advantage was interrupted by the guardian girl's merciless fishing. Li Mengyue stared at her with water-like eyes, the temperature of which was lower than absolute zero.

Lin Zhiyan smiled sheepishly a few times, and said, "The lawn on the ground has not been mowed for a long time, and there is probably no one living in the castle." The travelers who come and go on the road down the mountain probably don't know that there is such a huge ancient castle on the ridge.Rusty iron fence gates, walls covered with old vines, countless pointed buildings, and four bell towers of different heights, all have the characteristics of the Knutda era in 1028. .At that time, the king of Norway was concurrently held by a Dane, so the castle built had the shadow of Denmark.

But what Lin Zhiyan said was correct, judging from the messy lawn, the castle should have been abandoned for more than ten years, otherwise the Norwegians, whose style is comparable to that of the Germans, would not have made their home so sloppy. "I always feel that the castle in front of me may have something to do with the old man." I rested my chin on my hand and murmured. "How is it possible? I think it's just an abandoned castle. The recent economic downturn has caused the owners of European castles to pay maintenance fees and sell them, so there are too many cases where they have to be abandoned."

Lin Zhiyan disagreed. "I can't explain it clearly, but I have a strong sixth sense, and I always feel that there will be amazing discoveries inside." I took a few steps forward. This kind of mysterious feeling is really difficult to explain. For example, a mother is restless when shopping for vegetables and has an urgent desire to go home.She hurried home to take a look, and found that her son, who was not yet one year old, was covered in the quilt, his face was blood red from suffocation, and he would die completely in a few minutes. Of course, I have absolutely no telepathy with the old man Yang Junfei. This kind of thought is disgusting, but the castle in front of me really makes me very concerned.Faintly, something inside was calling me, and this calling reminded me of the old man for the first time.

Yang Junfei said that the mysterious thing in the century-old package is related to me. Could it be that the castle in front of me is actually related to that thing? "Didn't you always pay attention to scientific explanations and don't believe in things on the mysterious level?" Seeing that I was very determined, Lin Zhiyan couldn't help but hesitated too. "What happened this time is too confusing. Let's go in and have a look first." I stepped on the lawn and gradually approached the castle step by step, "If you are afraid, you can wait for me outside."

Li Mengyue did not express her opinion as usual, she just followed behind me, vigilantly observing any troubles around her.Lin Zhiyan sighed, but still followed, although she was a little afraid of the castle in front of her and was unwilling to approach it. It has been so many years, but the memories are still tormenting her!The old castle is gloomy and terrifying, filled with unbearable oppression with the accumulation of time and history.Lin Zhiyan has her own past.She once mentioned to me that when she was a child, she grew up in a gloomy old castle, and every memory brought to her there was inhuman pain.

Everyone has hurdles that cannot be overcome. Once they pass, it will be a brand new life. I walked to the iron gate in silence. The huge iron gate was a full six meters high, and we stood under the gate, which seemed extremely small.This surprised me. Does a castle in the wild need to build such a high gate?Isn't the legend of the Norse troll actually an urban legend? The rust stains on the strangely high iron door have been mottled to an indescribable thickness. There was a faint sense of peeping inside the door. I looked over vigilantly, but found nothing.On the right side of the huge iron gate, there is a small gate that normal humans can pass through. It is less than two meters high, but it has been deadlocked. Lin Zhiyan squatted down and looked at the keyhole, then shook her head and said, "No, iron juice has been poured into the keyhole, so even if you have a key, you can't open it. It's better to use brute force." After saying that, he squinted at the guardian girl. "Mengyue, go try and see if you can push it away." I ordered. Li Mengyue stroked her long black hair, and lightly placed her delicate hands on the iron gate, only to feel a sudden vibration around her.The small iron gate was not opened, Lin Zhiyan and I were surprised, but the vibration under our feet suddenly increased. "Damn, flash!" I felt a shadow approaching my head, and shouted hastily. Li Mengyue hugged my body and stepped back more than ten meters lightly.Lin Zhiyan was also not slow in skill, she ran away cursing and without any ladylike demeanor, while loudly accusing Li Mengyue of having no morals, forgetting friends when she sees sex, and refusing to help herself at all!No matter what, she managed to avoid it. Not far away, the towering huge iron gate fell down like a rotten log, causing grass and rocks to fly around, and the rumbling sound continued for a long time. I covered my ears, let go after more than a minute, and observed the situation in front of me.I really don't know how to evaluate the guardian girl's brute force. She pushed the small iron gate, but the iron gate less than two meters did not fall, but the big iron gate collapsed.What the hell is going on?Is there actually a mechanism between the two iron gates? Most of the fallen iron gate sank into the soil, which showed how heavy it was. Lin Zhiyan angrily stepped on it with her sheepskin boots, kicked her a few times, and made a crisp sound of metal clashing, "Big Sister, you almost killed me." Li Mengyue's fair skin was still covered with a layer of ice, she said lightly: "Accidentally, my hand slipped." "Damn! What kind of slippery hands do you have to knock down the six-meter-high, ten-meter-long, heavy iron gate!" Lin Zhiyan couldn't help complaining. "Go in, don't delay." I frowned and interrupted the fruitless conversation between the two.Looking up at the sky, the sun did not know when it fell into the thick dark clouds, a layer of gray light shone on the earth, the darkness was full of chills, and the ominous premonition in my heart became more and more serious under the gradually complicated weather. Intensified, "It's getting dark." "Tch, it's really weird. It's not even five o'clock in the afternoon, but the weather is so bad that you can hardly see your fingers." Lin Zhiyan blinked her eyes. She looked around, and suddenly found that after the iron gate fell, the surrounding became dark like dusk. She didn't know if it was the harbinger of the rainstorm, or the Norwegian night fell faster than usual. There is a gloomy atmosphere in the air, and the biting cold current overflows everywhere with the disappearance of the sun, and the old castle in front of you is even more ghostly. I took the lead and walked a few steps forward slowly, and found nothing unusual, and then gradually walked in step by step, stepping on the iron gate, making a hollow and piercing sound, which stimulated my heart to beat violently.After passing through the collapsed gate and standing on the ground inside the ancient castle, I was surprised to find that there is only a gap between the inside and outside, and the difference between inside and outside is actually so great! Directly opposite the line of sight is a huge fountain, which is basically a feature of European castles. The fountain has collapsed, and the original milky white sculpture fell to the ground in pieces, covered by messy weeds.But the miracle is that there are no weeds on the stone pavement around the fountain, and there is no trace of artificial trimming. This road passes through the messy grass, which is particularly dazzling. Li Mengyue followed me silently, her big black and white eyes exuded a sharp luster.She raised her nose and smelled the air around her slightly, "It stinks." "Where is the smell coming from?" I hesitated for a moment, and after smelling it, I couldn't help shaking my head.Although the air was cold, but because it was far away from the pollution of the city, it was quite fresh, and even Lin Zhiyan didn't smell the peculiar smell. "Corpse stinks." Li Mengyue leaned closer to me, becoming more vigilant: "Here, many people die." "Stop, I think there are more and more routines for making horror movies now, and it's halfway destroyed, and it's a spooky castle, and now the eldest sister is gorgeously transformed into a psychic woman, saying that many people died in the castle and have corpses Smelly." Lin Zhiyan shrank her neck, and complained, "I knew that hanging out with a certain Ye would not end well, and I would have come here by myself." "You talk a lot of nonsense, and you have the same bad temper as an old man. The ancients did not deceive me, as expected, like attracts like and divides people into groups." There were unnutritious words in my mouth, and my eyes glanced randomly. The feeling of depression in the castle is too strong, no wonder no one wants to live in it, if you stay here all day, you will go crazy sooner or later. "I said, are you sure the key is inside? But the gate of the castle was not opened, and the small door was sealed again. How did the two snipers get in?" Lin Zhiyan finally noticed a problem, "Why did they put the key in the castle on purpose? Is it really to attract us?" I silently pointed to the vines on the wall, "There are traces of climbing on it. I wanted to climb in, but the wall is too high and I don't have confidence. As for the purpose, the possibility of leading us in is eight or nine." Not far from ten." "Xiao Ye, I have already said that what we need in this line of work is physical strength!" Lin Zhiyan complained, "You should exercise hard!" Suddenly, Li Mengyue noticed something and jumped in front of me: "Be careful!" No ground shook, not even a sound was heard.The three of us maintained a "be careful" posture, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for the "be careful" situation that Li Mengyue said, so I scratched my head, "What's going on?" "strangeness." Li Mengyue showed a puzzled expression on her face, without explaining, she just shook her head slightly. The noisy Lin Zhiyan surprisingly didn't complain. I waited for her to complain, and I didn't hear her voice after waiting for a minute.I had no choice but to turn my head to take a look, only to find that the old woman was frozen in place with her mouth wide open. Following her line of sight, I was also stunned. The six-meter-high iron gate that collapsed on the ground at the gate has quietly recovered!It was still so mottled and old, as if it would fall if pushed, but it really separated the three of us inside and outside the mountain stream castle. The wind subsided at some point, and there was only stagnant silence and boundless dim light left in the courtyard. A red full moon slowly rose in the sky, revealing half of its face from the top of the courtyard wall. At five o'clock in the afternoon, the night swallowed up the light, and the terrifying night came inexplicably... "how so?" I'm completely clueless. Norway is located at 61 to 65 degrees north latitude and 10 to 20 degrees east longitude. The sunset time in autumn should be around 7:30. Sometimes the weather is abnormal, and you can even see the setting sun at 10 o'clock in the evening. Now There is no sunshine at five o'clock, which is really unbelievable. And what happened to that door?Is it electric?But I didn't hear the sound of the motor. What's more, this ancient castle is very remote, and there are no electric poles nearby. Could it be that the power supply system is inside the castle? Lin Zhiyan frowned and walked to the vines at the base of the wall, pulled them with her hands, and something even more surprising happened. She didn't use much strength, but the purple vines were cut off in the palm of her hand, turning into Fly ash fell on the dirty ground. Although the poor light around cannot be said to be invisible, it is very difficult to see clearly at a distance of 30 meters.Under the bloody moonlight, I walked back and forth in front of the collapsed fountain, smiling wryly, "It's really a big deal, it's trying to trap us, so we don't even have a chance to escape." The six-meter-high iron fence gate and the nearly twenty-meter-high wall are not the heights that humans can climb without using external forces.The stone slabs on the wall are neat and smooth, and I think even Lin Zhiyan, who claims to be a rock climber, can't do it. "Big Sister, use your brute strength to make a hole in the wall." Lin Zhiyan pointed at the wall with her finger, and said to Li Mengyue expectantly. Li Mengyue, who has always been expressionless, rarely showed mocking eyes, "I am a human being. No, an alien monster." "Xiao Ye, your woman actually complained! Oh my god, it's a supernatural event." Lin Zhiyan put on an exaggerated expression of being so shocked that she couldn't close her jaw. "That's enough, don't make any more noise, I know you're terribly nervous." I kicked it, but she didn't dodge it. Speaking of which, this guy became abnormal after entering the castle, alas, who knows what kind of unforgettable pain that childhood shadow brought her? I hesitated for a moment, glanced at Lin Zhiyan, who was expressively chattering, and then at Li Mengyue, who was standing beside me without saying a word, and finally decided to go into the castle. There is no life in the dark courtyard, and it is very dangerous to stand still in a place that reveals horror and depression. Since someone deliberately lured us in, there must be his purpose.It's not my character to sit and wait for death, so it's better to find the right owner and have an open and honest chat with everyone. The old woman who signaled to the guardian female general that her spirit was gradually going downhill was watching carefully, and I crossed the fountain step by step, and slowly walked towards the gate of the castle's front yard.The sound of trampling weeds is particularly harsh in this silent, dark and terrifying place.As I walked, I kept sighing in my heart. what the hell is it?Not long ago, my cousin Yefeng disappeared mysteriously in a certain basement in Siberia, and he left a note asking the Freemasonry to find me. (For details, see Ye Buyu's secret file 406 "Forbidden Space" Now the man went to a small town in Norway, and disappeared inexplicably. The one who disappeared with him is likely to be a secret that has been hidden for a hundred years in a century-old package , This secret is said to be needed by many influential bigwigs in the world. The most depressing thing is that this damn old man actually led the disaster to me. Damn it, it makes sense for me to be ambushed and arrested by any big boss now.Are these unscrupulous relatives and friends really sticking it to the wound when I am bleeding, and throwing away the OK bandage after the bleeding stops?How can there be such a convenient OK stretcher in this world!Even if I'm really OK, you still have to take my feelings into consideration!If this happens a few times, no matter how strong the spirit is, it will not be able to hurt. While depressed, he walked, and after a few minutes, he finally reached the dilapidated door in the front yard. This is a beautifully carved wooden door. Although it has been eroded for a long time, it still cannot erase its former glory and magnificence.The door is made of the most extensive fir tree in Norway, and a string of intricate languages ​​remains on the right. Lin Zhiyan touched the writing on the door, "It seems to be engraved on the back, it's not English, and it's not like other major languages ​​in Europe." "This is Pokmur, which evolved from Danish." I distinguished, "But this Pokmur language is a bit weird, and it uses very old vocabulary." "What did it say?" she asked. "I can't analyze some words, but the general meaning can still be understood." I read softly: "This door is open to hell, and anyone who trespasses will die!" As soon as the words were finished, the door that was close at hand suddenly opened in response.After a slow and low "squeak", the dark space behind the door unfolded in front of us without any mental preparation...
