章 149: Is this the truth? No, it is not.

Time goes back to the night before.

Huang Pi was in a trance, bewitched by the sound outside the door. He originally wanted to take out other cards to continue defending, but somehow, the hand he stretched out actually grabbed a corner of the floating curtain.

He subconsciously glanced out the window, and that glance scared Huang Pi into a cold sweat.

Under the bright moonlight, an upside down figure was reflected on the curtain. Huang Pi didn't know whether it should be called a person, because the limbs and torso of the shadow were very slender, which could not be described as ordinary thinness. If a person had no meat under the skin but only bones, they would probably be so slender.

Even so, the body part would not achieve this effect because of the existence of the sternum.

If you really want to describe it, it's like a person's elongated shadow under the slanting sun. It's just that this elongated shadow is proportionally reduced to the same size as a person.

Huang Pi tightly controlled his hand deadly and didn't dare to let go at all, let alone open the curtain.

His experience of going through dungeons many times told him that he would die if he opened it.

Biting his lower lip, the pain brought back the last bit of rationality, Huang Pi quickly pinched out a card [Twin Substitute], which can create a doll exactly like himself as his substitute, which lasts for ten minutes. No matter whether good or bad things happen next, the substitute will bear it instead of himself. The card is a completely disposable consumable. It will disappear after use, and can only be used once in a dungeon.

Even if Huang Pi has ten [Twin Substitute] cards saved, they can only be used once in a dungeon. This kind of card with an extra life has great restrictions.

This is the most powerful card in Huang Pi's hand. There is only one. He originally planned to keep it as a trump card, but he didn't expect to use it now.

The situation was very thrilling. At the moment when the curtain was opened, the black shadow flashed in and brushed past Huang Pi, rushing towards his substitute.

Huang Pi screamed in fear, he did not bother to carefully observe whether the figure of the black shadow was similar to anyone. He frantically took out another card [I can teleport o] and disappeared on the spot. Only the substitute was left to endure the tyranny of the black shadow. The wind blew the curtains completely open. The substitute was cut into pieces by the black shadow, and the bright red blood was splattered. Everything was so realistic that the black shadow could not tell the truth from the false. Until the time limit was up, the substitute disappeared. The black shadow looked around in confusion, after not finding other targets, and slowly left from the window.

The hunting time has not ended yet, but it has sensed the sadness of mistress.

The prey seems to have left, it seems to have been killed. It doesn't matter, it wants to go back.

This is his order, everything about mistress takes precedence over hunting. Mistress is sad, and no matter whether its existence can make mistress feel at ease, it has to go back to keep company.

On the other side, Huang Pi, who used the card, came to a completely unfamiliar environment.

The [I can teleport o] card can quickly move the player, but the landing point is random. As long as it is on the map, it is possible to be anywhere. Huang Pi didn't like this card. When he used it for the first time, the card threw him directly in front of the boss and killed him instantly. After that, Huang Pi sealed this card and never used it again.

Unfortunately, Huang Pi didn't have time to choose, to quickly let him escape from the room when the door was closed and the window was half open, no card was more suitable than this one.

Then, he appeared in a dark and narrow space. Huang Pi groped around and found himself on a step. He walked up the steps and saw a small window. The moonlight was coming in from the window. Huang Pi groped to the window and looked out. After looking at the surrounding environment for a long time, he suddenly realized that he was actually in the tower in the middle of the castle.

Huang Pi has been curious about the tower for a long time. After all, it is located in the center of the castle, and both the owner and the servants here have always kept silent about this place, they have never even come here once. Huang Pi knows that many players have come here to explore, but unfortunately they have gained nothing.

Because they can't even get in.

Unexpectedly, he came here today because of the teleportation card.

Huang Pi quietly looked down from the window, guessed that he was probably on the fourth floor. And this tower has five floors from the outside window.

The road to the top of the building was very dark. Huang Pi groped and climbed up countless steps until he finally touched a door.

A closed door.

He opened the door with a creak, the first thing he saw was a skeleton sitting on a chair in the house. There were several windows in the room at the top of the tower, the light from the windows sprinkled a layer of light silver light into the room, just enough for Huang Pi to see the scenery inside the room.

Huang Pi's hair on his back stood up, he almost rolled down the stairs.

Fortunately, he grabbed the staircase in time and stared at the skeleton for a long time before he was sure that it was really just a skeleton, and not a monster.

Tsk, he was certainly not afraid.

Huang Pi plucked up the courage to walk into the room, ignoring the skeleton and looking around. It was obviously just a small room on the top of the tower, but it was decorated in a proper manner. There was a wooden table and a wooden chair. On the wall behind the chair was a framed calligraphy work with six large characters 'be cautious in words and deeds1' written vertically. The bookshelf on the left was full of books, and there was a small coffee table behind the screen on the right. There were all kinds of pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, the pen washer was quietly placed next to the pen holder. There was also a small potted plant on the table, but don't know how long the plant inside had been dead.

This is an antique book room.

In the past, it was also called a study.

Completely different from the European-style decoration in the castle, standing here, Huang Pi seemed to have returned to the room of a scholar three hundred years ago, exuding a quiet and pleasant book fragrance.

And that skeleton was sitting on the chair in a changpao, indicating itsidentity as the owner of this ancient study.

Huang Pi soon noticed that there was a book on the skeleton's knees. He carefully approached and took a look, then slowly reached out and took the book in its hand, as if he was afraid of waking the person up.

He knew clearly that this was just a skeleton.

After opening the book, he found that it was not a book at all, but an ordinary notebook with many photos pasted inside. The era should be very old, and the quality of the photos was not very good. Many of them were blurry, they were all black and white photos.

Huang Pi took the album to the window, opened the album in the moonlight, he struggled to identify the content of the photos inside.

The photos were obviously carefully sorted. Huang Pi took a rough look and determined that this was a collection of family photos, they were sorted according to time.

There were five people in this family, a pair of parents, and three sons.

In the first photo, the youngest son was still in his swaddling clothes, held intimately in his mother's arms, the slightly shorter second son was held in the middle by his father's hand, and the eldest son was next to him, who looked about seven or eight years old.

The following photos are like the growth record of the youngest son. Each photo is taken with the youngest son as the center, from crawling to walking, from holding a pen to writing. The second son often appears in the photo, but the eldest son is rarely seen. He used to be able to get a corner position, but later he did not appear in the photo at all.

Maybe he has grown up and has something to do. Huang Pi thought so in his heart, he turned a page.

Then, there was a long blank period. When the following photos were taken, the family of five was still taken together, but the youngest son already has the apparence of a junior high school student, and the oldest was almost as tall as his mother.

It's just that… the position where the eldest son stood was far away from the others, it didn't look close enough.

From this period on, the photos began to increase, and the parents gradually disappeared from the photos. The following photos mainly focused on the three sons.

The benjamin, whose appearance became more and more handsome as he grew older. The cadet, who became taller and more handsome. And the eldest, whose height seemed to have suddenly stopped growing and was gradually surpassed by his second and third brothers. The whole person has a bit of melancholic breath and weakness.

They had a very close relationship and often took photos together, but every time the cadet stood in the middle, separating the eldest from the benjamin.

Of the three sons, the eldest's appearance was very different from the two younger brothers, but the two younger brothers' faces were 80% similar, it was obvious that they looked very much like their father, both handsome men. Maybe the eldest probably took after his mother ba.

Wait... appearance?

Huang Pi flipped through one of the clear photos and stared at the appearance of the cadet and benjamin.

Looks a lot like Mr. Si.

But not exactly the same, the cadet's lips are exactly the same as Mr. Si, but his eyes are more like the benjamin.

Maybe it's their offspring?

This is Lady Maud's castle, why is there an album of suspected Mr. Si's ancestors in the tower? And it's decorated like this?

In addition, don't know why, the eldest son's facial features look a little familiar.

Huang Pi continued to flip through the photos. The benjamin gradually disappeared from the group photos, leaving only the eldest and cadet. Later, even the cadet disappeared, leaving only the eldest son's solo photo.

Slowly, Huang Pi flipped to the last photo. The eldest son was wearing a changpao, holding a scroll in his hand and sitting on a chair in the library, looking at this side with a smile. Huang Pi suddenly put down the album and looked at the decoration inside the library, then looked down at the photos.

Exactly the same.

The ebony tables and chairs, the calligraphy on the back wall, the bookshelf on the left and the screen on the right, and even the bonsai on the table, were placed in the same position.

Even the clothes worn by the eldest son are exactly the same as those on the skeleton.

So the skeleton is the eldest son in the album?

No, the skeleton on the chair is taller than the eldest son in the photo. When the eldest son in the album sat down, he did not block the words behind, but the skeleton actually blocked the word "deeds" behind.

If all these furnishings are exactly the same as in the album, then the person on the chair is at least one head taller than the eldest son in the photo.

This is about the height difference between Lady Maud and Mr. Si, Huang Pi thought. The moment this thought came up, he seemed to notice something, tilted his head slightly, stared at the eldest son in the album for a long time, and suddenly realized it.

No wonder he felt familiar. Isn't the eldest son's facial features almost exactly the same as Lady Maud's ma? It's just that one is a man and the other is a woman.

So Lady Maud is the daughter of the eldest son, and Mr. Si is the son of the cadet or the benjamin?

So Lady Maud and Mr. Si are cousins?

Lady Maud's real name is Si Maud?

Huang Pi, who thought he had guessed the truth, nodded secretly. No wonder they were so close.

But... this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the treasure.

After Huang Pi finished looking the album, he put it back to its original place, on the knees of the skeleton suspected to be Mr. Si's biological father, and walked around to look at the bookshelf, hoping to find some clues there.

There was still some time before dawn, if he couldn't find anything on the upper bookshelf, he could go to the lower floors to have a look.

Maybe if he was lucky, he could touch gold, silver and jewelry, then pass the level directly.

Outside the window, the sky gradually brightened, a ray of dawn rose in the east.

It was less than an hour before Mr. Si arrived at the scene.

The author has something to say:

Huang Pi: I, guessed the truth.

Bai Leshui: No, you didn't.

Huang Pi: Look , this is you're dad o.

Bai Leshui: Roll, this is me.

Although I know he didn't have God perspective and some people have been digging pits from from the start, but... seriously? Offsprings? Ancestors? Can you be more bold with you're guesses? How could some random NPC appear out of nowhere.
