Chapter 114: Woman, Are You Playing With Fire?

Rhodes looked calmly in the direction of Amy's finger.

A white-haired woman in a tattered black robe came into view, her wrinkled face looking a little scary.

He was holding an oil lamp in his hand, and the face under the lamp looked like a demon in a horror movie.

hiss!

A group of people gasped, thinking that it was a ghost.

Driven by fear, he instinctively turned and ran.

Only Rhodes stood there calmly, looking at the old man who was playing tricks.

Although he looks a bit scary, his strong smell makes it clear that he is a human.

"Where's Rod?"

Just after taking a step, Vivian suddenly found that Rhodes, who was being held by her arm, was rooted to the spot.

He quickly stopped and looked behind him.

Rhodes was seen standing there casually with his hands in his pockets.

Seeing Rhodes so calm, Vivian, who was a little frightened at first, calmed down instantly.

If Rhodes wasn't afraid, why should she be afraid? She knew that this guy would definitely protect her.

Rhodes and Vivian did not run, and the other panicked people also slowly stopped when they saw this.

"Why didn't the ghost chase us?"

Vera muttered doubtfully, exchanging glances with several people.

"How about going over and taking a look?"

Seeing that no one objected, the group of people bravely went back.

In the hall, Rhodes put his hands in his pockets, leaned back slightly, and looked at the old man in black robe opposite him with a pair of nonchalant eyes.

The powerful aura made the atmosphere in the entire hall almost stagnant.

At the beginning, the gloomy old woman in black robe was still able to keep a dead face and confront Rhodes.

As time passed, a few drops of cold sweat gradually appeared on the face of the woman in black robe.

A minute later, the woman in black robe was trembling slightly, and her clothes were already wet with sweat.

"I'm the caretaker of this castle, Mavis."

Finally, the woman in black robe couldn't bear this kind of pressure anymore and couldn't help but speak up to break the suffocating atmosphere.

"so?"

Rhodes spoke slowly, his hands in his pockets, looking down at him.

A figure as oppressive as a hill slowly walked towards the woman in black robe.

"Is this a reason to pretend to be a ghost and scare my friends?"

"I'm trying to save you!"

Mavis' face was covered with cold sweat, and she couldn't help but step back as she looked at the approaching Rhodes 05.

It was not until his body leaned against the cold wall that he suppressed his fear and explained.

"There are evil spirits in this castle. If you don't leave by the afternoon, the evil spirits in the castle will kill you all."

Mavis's face was serious and her tone was cold.

As the manager of this ghost castle, she has been here for decades.

Every year on this day, the horrible evil spirit buried under the castle will appear when the sun is about to set.

Kill all living things in this castle.

And her responsibility is to drive out all the intruders in the castle on this day.

No matter what method you use.

Once the guy sleeping under the castle kills enough humans, he will accumulate enough power.

It can step out of this castle and bring disaster to the world.

Suppressing the evil spirits under this castle is the responsibility that has been passed down from her ancestors.

She could never allow this to happen.

Vera and the others didn't show any belief on their faces as they listened to Mavis' explanation.

Before, they might have really been scared, but now this fake ghost has been exposed and made up an outrageous reason to deceive them.

Do you really think they are fools?

"Don't be silly. How could there be such a thing as a ghost in this world?"

"If there really are ghosts, would you still dare to live here?"

Amos's face was full of arrogance, and his stupid eyes revealed a stupid look that saw through everything.

"I see. There must be some treasure hidden in this castle. So in order to keep the treasure for yourself, you deliberately scared away everyone who entered the castle, just to find the treasure by yourself."

Amos' words shocked everyone.

An interested look appeared on his face.

After all, things like treasure hunting are the adventurous genes that run in the bones of the people of United States.

When she heard the word "treasure", even the most timid Vivian's eyes lit up.

Treasure or something is not important, but she is very interested in finding treasure.

"There is no treasure in this castle."

Seeing this group of ignorant young people wanting to dig for treasure in the castle, Mavis suddenly became nervous.

However, the more nervous she became, the more Amos felt that he was right.

There must be some priceless treasure hidden in this castle.

Otherwise, why would this guy be so nervous?

"I can prove that there must be treasure in this castle!"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

Several people looked outside the castle gate, and Clyde walked in with an excited look on his face.

"Clyde!"

Looking at Clyde who had just left her and ran away, Amy's eyes were full of disappointment.

"Amy, I just wanted to lure away this guy pretending to be a ghost, so I left you behind."

Clyde looked at his girlfriend's disappointed eyes, and at first he felt guilty, but he quickly defended himself.

Amy gave a perfunctory smile when she heard this.

Lead away?

A man running fast leaves a woman behind, is he trying to lure away the ghost?

Does this guy really think she is a fool?

However, with so many people here, she was too lazy to argue with this guy.

It's just that the relationship between the two of them ended here.

A man who abandons his girlfriend first when he encounters danger is not trustworthy at all and is not qualified to be her future husband.

Seeing the disappointment in Amy's eyes, Clyde was in no mood to comfort his girlfriend.

Instead, he took out an old newspaper that looked quite old from his pocket.

Everyone looked over and saw that the castle was exactly what was drawn on the newspaper.

"Baron Cleveland, a very wealthy noble baron. It is said that his wealth could be piled up into a mountain of gold. Since his death, all these treasures have disappeared without a trace."

Clyde read the information from the newspaper, and the excitement on his face grew.

"I now suspect that these treasures are hidden in a corner of this castle, and this guy is dressing up as a ghost to scare people away so that he can keep the treasure in the castle for himself."

"If we could find this treasure, it would be enough to make each of us billionaires."

The word "billionaire" made many people excited.

Even Betty's boyfriend Blake, who has never had a sense of existence, his eyes lit up when he heard the word billionaire.

He looks more excited than anyone else.

"If you are scared, you can leave by yourselves. I am going to look for treasure in the castle."

Amos couldn't contain his excitement and began to search the castle in a hurry.

"If you come together, you will also have a share of the treasure. Do you want to join us in searching for the treasure?"

Clyde looked at the others and extended an invitation.

"I'll help you find the treasure too."

Blake was eager to join without any hesitation.

Seeing her boyfriend joining in, Betty hesitated for a moment and then nodded to join in.

"You all are looking for treasure, so of course I, the initiator, have to join in."

Vera spread her hands, her face full of interest.

She is also very interested in treasures. Who can resist becoming a rich person?

The answer is no.

"I'm not interested."

Amy shook her head. She was somewhat interested in the treasure, but the thought of searching for treasure with Clyde made her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

Compared to Clyde, she would rather stay with Rod.

At least this man can make her feel safe enough.

Vivian, the only one who had not expressed her opinion yet, glanced at Rhodes and saw that he had no expression on his face. She immediately rejected the idea of ​​treasure hunting.

She has more important things to do than treasure.

These people were all looking for treasure, which gave her a good opportunity.

"Oh well."

Vera shrugged helplessly, and then the group dispersed to look for the treasure.

"Death is coming! You will all regret it!" 

Mavis looked at the group of young people who refused to listen, and a deep sense of powerlessness appeared on her face.

What she said was not a joke.

But, she had no way to stop these guys now.

"When will the evil spirit you mentioned appear?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the ears of Mavis, who seemed a little desperate.

"Do you believe what I say?"

Mavis looked at Rhodes in surprise. She didn't expect that this young man who frightened her would actually believe in the legend of evil spirits.

After all, if it weren't for the legends passed down by her ancestors and what she had seen and heard over the years, even she herself wouldn't believe such a thing.

"If I say that my eyes can see those things, would you believe it?"

Rod glanced at the old man calmly, his dark and deep eyes seemed to contain some kind of heart-pounding power.

It seems to see through all illusions and directly see the real world hidden behind the illusions.

These eyes

Mavis' heart skipped a beat as she looked at the strange pair of eyes.

I feel an inexplicable fear.

"Just kidding, but I am really interested in the evil spirit you mentioned."

Rhodes retracted his spiritual eyes, smiled slightly, and his tone became relaxed.

Mavis looked at the young man with the harmless smile with a look of doubt and confusion in her eyes. For a moment, she didn't know which one was his true face.

After a moment of silence, Mavis spoke slowly.

"3:30 in the afternoon."

"Wait until half past three in the afternoon, and the disaster will strike. Everyone in the castle will die."

"If you don't want to die, leave this castle before half past three."

Mavis didn't explain any more and turned to leave.

Having said that, if these guys don't listen to advice, they can only wait to die here.

"You seem to know this place well?"

Rhodes stroked his chin with an interested expression on his face.

Mavis didn't want to bother with this young man whom she couldn't understand.

But the moment his eyes met Rhodes's, his mind went blank.

A charm magic controlled the castle's administrator, and Rhodes spoke slowly.

"Can you tell me what happened in this castle in the past?"

A hint of struggle flashed across Mavis' dull eyes, but she was quickly controlled by the powerful magic.

The last bit of his sanity was destroyed, and he honestly recounted what had happened in the castle.

Two hundred years ago, the owner of this castle was a very wealthy nobleman.

Gentle and cheerful personality.

Moreover, he married a very beautiful wife.

Life should have been very happy, until one day, a sudden plague infected all the surrounding villages and towns.

A large number of people were infected and died tragically, and only the nobles in the castle survived.

Driven by certain people, rumors began to spread that the nobleman's wife was a witch and all disasters were caused by the witch.

When the nobleman came back from his absence, he found that his pregnant wife had been burned to death by ignorant commoners.

Even the nobles had their heads chopped off and all their treasures were taken away by the greedy civilians.

In order to cover up the truth of all this, everyone weaved a lie.

Slander the nobles as brutal slave owners.

All the bodies of those who died from the plague were buried around the castle.

After a long period of gestation.

An unwilling, angry and desperate soul was born in the castle out of resentment.

It died on this day, and also returned from hell on this day to take revenge on the humans who killed it.

All human beings will become his prey.

"It's pretty tragic."

Rhodes frowned slightly.

Obviously, the evil spirits in this castle come from the original owner of the castle.

He was killed by those greedy civilians, so his soul could not rest in peace after death, and eventually he turned into a vengeful evil spirit out of resentment.

He will be resurrected on the day of his death and slaughter all ordinary humans who enter the castle.

Now this evil spirit can only move within the castle, but if he can slaughter enough humans and absorb enough dead souls and resentments, he will be able to break free from the constraints of the castle.

Get out of the castle and take revenge on the humans who have hurt him.

This is somewhat similar to the resurrected evil spirit, both of which are imprisoned somewhere.

However, the resurrected evil spirit was born in the evil spirit villa, so it is more difficult to escape from the villa.

The evil spirit's body must be combined with a human to give birth to an evil spirit child between life and death, and only then can this body be used to leave the villa.

This is also the reason why the resurrected evil spirit would desire Taisha's body.

But the evil spirit in the castle is different. As long as it accumulates enough power, it can break out of the cage that binds it.

It's a little hard to tell whether the story is true or not.

But the strength of this evil spirit must not be too weak.

After all, according to the castle manager, tens of thousands of civilians who died of the plague were buried under the castle.

With so many corpses buried together and their resentment gathered together, how powerful would the undead born from that mass of resentment be?

At least, it won't be weaker than the resurrected evil spirit.

However, the means are definitely not as strange as the resurrected evil spirit.

No matter how strong a being is, as long as it is not immortal, it is possible to be killed.

Rhodes glanced at the people who were looking for treasure with great interest. According to Mavis, the treasure in the castle had already been divided up by the civilians.

So, these guys are destined to waste their efforts.

"What did you do to me?"

Rhodes eliminated the magic, and Mavis, who was under control, trembled all over and regained consciousness.

There was fear in his eyes as he looked at Rhodes.

Although she couldn't control her body for what just happened, her consciousness was clear.

Know what you said and did.

This power to control other people's minds was simply terrifying to her.

"Knowing too much will do you no good. You can leave now."

Rhodes waved his hand and watched Mavis's panicked figure leave the castle.

Now, he suddenly became interested in the evil spirits in this castle.

"Rod, come here, I found something!"

Suddenly, Vivian's voice came from a room.

What does this woman want to do?

Rhodes frowned and walked towards the room. Just as he reached the door, he was pulled into the room by a pair of soft arms.

Before I could react, the familiar smell was already hitting me.

Vivian, who was wearing only black lace underwear, stockings and high heels, had taken off her coat without knowing when.

Perfect underbelly shape, slim waist and full pertness.

Under the black lace dress that was not even as big as a palm, the young body was full of hot sexiness. At this moment, she was looking up at him with a slightly blushing face.

A pair of hands wrapped around Rhodes' neck, and Vivian hung on him like a koala.

"Honey, you found your treasure."

"You are playing with fire."

Rhodes looked at Vivian expressionlessly, the animal nature in his eyes revived.

"Then you just destroy it."

Vivian exhaled like a orchid and took the initiative to attack.

She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
