Chapter 64 Variety Show Chapter 18

The camera turned and came to the garden balcony on the third floor of the castle. You Yunran walked out of the house slowly, looked at the butler who was standing by the wall and looked up at the bright and clear full moon, and smiled softly: "You can give me the mirror ?"

The housekeeper let out a barely audible sigh, turned around, and said to You Yunran: "After I give it to you, what are you going to do?"

You Yunran said seriously: "Of course it is to break the formation and completely end this century-old curse!"

……

Seeing that both Annie and Daxiu showed disbelief, John said helplessly, "Look at the chair over there."

The two turned their heads suspiciously.

With a "bang", the chair was knocked down for no reason and fell half a meter away. The sudden movement scared Annie and Daxiu into surprise.

Annie's eyes stayed on the upturned chair, and after a while, she suddenly shouted, "It's you!"

Daxiu asked inexplicably, "What? What's going on?"

Annie jumped up and said, "That 'transparent man'! Transparent man!"

She turned to John and said, "On the way to escape, we were blocked by female ghosts and black shadows. The door that opened and closed automatically was the one you sent the 'transparent man' to do!"

"Yes." John said helplessly: "And we hid under the sofa in the back, and when we were caught by the female ghost, I asked the transparent person to come and save us. I just didn't expect that the mirror would be robbed at that time." ..."

"If you knew you were a ghost, why did you save me? Just reach out and snatch it back?" Annie said angrily.At this time, she still hadn't fully figured out what was going on with this matter, but her intuition told her that something that was still a sure thing to win seemed to suddenly become a little bad.

John explained: "I didn't know you were ghosts. I thought I was the only one. I didn't want to lock you up, so when the mirror was taken away, I didn't really care. I just wanted to protect you first. You said, the mirror Afterwards, I will go find it slowly and hand it over to you.”

"You really have the spirit of sacrifice." Daxiu said mockingly: "Give us the mirror, and then use the identity of a ghost to blend into humans, until the humans destroy the mirror, and you disappear in the form of a ghost. In the end Is it a moment of self-sacrifice in exchange for a batch of tears?"

John rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment and said, "I didn't think so much..."

"Cut..." Daxiu rolled his eyes and said, "In other words, you, like me, realized your identity when you heard the name 'Kennell'?"

"That's not true." John said with a simple and honest face: "Up until just now, I always thought I was really a hunter. It's just that when I was walking in the corridor, I suddenly saw blood on a mirror, which said 'Look at me', I just watched it, but it told me later that I was a ghost, I was stunned at the time, I didn't expect that there was a [-]/[-] probability that I would come across it."

Annie said with a look of horror: "It tells you to watch it, so you just watch it? What if something happens after watching it?"

John asked suspiciously, "Is it? I thought it was a hint?"

"..." Annie said with an aggrieved face, "The reminder is indeed correct..."

And she also realized her identity through this method.

But will the average person follow suit?It's impossible!

As a result, John was hit by mistake and hit the right one.

Daxiu said speechlessly: "That is to say, although the three of us are arranged to be ghosts this time, the guy who didn't realize that he is a ghost will always act as a human being and help humans destroy the mirror."

"And people who know that they are ghosts will not take the initiative to reveal the news that they are ghosts. They are destined to fight alone." Annie added.

"In addition, between ghosts and ghosts, the subordinates sent out will fight each other..." Daxiu glanced at John angrily, and said, "There are even ghosts standing directly on the human side, with their elbows Turn outside."

After listening to John, he laughed dryly.

The more Annie thought about it, the more she felt a little unacceptable: "So we three ghosts were tricked by one person like this? Now everyone's mirrors are all in the hands of You Yunran! Who knows if he will use himself as a 'ghost' The identity of the butler is also deceived!"

Daxiu immediately said, "Where is the 'pestle'? Are you sure it's in your hand?"

"That's right!" Annie nodded immediately and assured, "It's in my hands!"

Daxiu: "Then it's fine, as long as you protect this thing..."

John interrupted: "Are you sure?"

Daxiu frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

John analyzed and said: "He drew the pattern of the pestle, and he found it and handed it to Annie. Are you sure... that pestle, is it really a pestle? It's not something else?"

Daxiu and Annie looked at each other, with a look of hopelessness on their faces.

……

"When most people are ghosts, the only one left becomes a 'ghost' instead." You Yunran stood in the garden, and explained to the housekeeper in a leisurely tone: "After hearing 'you When there was a ghost inside, I immediately realized that I might be the only human being present."

The butler stared at him with a gloomy expression: "How did you notice it?"

"No doubt, it seems that you really knew that there is actually only one human among us, because you know that there are only three masters who left in the castle, right?" You Yunran said with a smile: "Well... you can let There are many clues that I have noticed, where should I start?"

You Yunran was not afraid of the housekeeper's terrifying appearance bathed in the moonlight, walked to the housekeeper's side, looked up at the full moon in the starry sky, and recalled:

"Actually, from the first time we met, I felt a little strange."

"A hunter who doesn't know how to hunt, and a nobleman who strayed into the forest and lost his way. Orion is nothing more than that. After all, he has the reason of 'hunting'. The nobleman would walk in the icy and snowy winter without any men by his side, and he was also lost. There is no way out. It’s enough for such a rare thing to happen once, but there are so many of them all at once, the probability is not small, it’s too abrupt, it seems very weird.”

"In addition, according to my observations, Mr. John, who claims to be a hunter, has no experience as a hunter at all, and his ability to survive in the wild is very rough. Under this situation, I suddenly met two 'lost' people who were full of suspicious auras." Nobles', a group of four came to this weird castle together due to the force of the wind and snow, all of which made me feel wrong."

You Yunran is fully integrated into the plot, narrating all this from the perspective of the person involved as a "foreign nobleman" he plays.

"The thing that makes me feel wrong the most is the clothes on Miss Annie's body." You Yunran explained slowly: "Their clothes seem to be a little different from mine, and they look very...retro."

The clothes Annie wears are very loose.The expensive wool coat with rounded sleeves is luxurious and beautiful, exuding a luxurious atmosphere.The underwear is very long and drags to the ground.The coat is straight to the knees, using silk whose value is denominated in gold, and finally a rectangular cloak of precious mink.

In the "era" of the clothes worn by You Yunran, women's clothing was strappy tights.The top fits close to the body to accentuate the curves of the body.Below is a wide skirt, the two parts are sewn together with thread.The sleeves are loose and long, and the cuffs drop to the knees.

In addition, it is not only the difference in design, but also in many subtleties, such as the length of the clothes, the width of the cuffs, the size of the neckline, and the trims on the sleeves, you can distinguish the age differences between them.

You Yunran, who is familiar with popular fashion and historical clothing culture, can find obvious differences at a glance.

"In my impression, women like this use lace and knitting extensively, and the clothes are wide and straight to the ground, and men wear stockings. This is a popular clothing that was only available more than 100 years ago."

It's just that You Yunran thought it might be a mistake made by the costumer of the program group at that time, so he didn't express any doubts rashly.It wasn't until later that he saw the housekeeper and saw that the other party was dressed in clothes that also did not conform to "the era he lived in", that You Yunran began to have doubts in his heart, and felt that something was wrong.

It doesn't make sense. Everyone strictly abides by the rules of the era, but his clothes are a century behind.

All the visible decorations and decoration styles in the castle are all in line with the level of "100 years ago". Why is there such an abrupt mistake?

So You Yunran proposed that he wanted to change a set of clothes, and asked the housekeeper to bring some more clothes so that he could have a comparison in his heart.

It was at that time that You Yunran saw the crucial date in the newspaper in the room.

Obviously the newspaper is old and yellowed, and the time is already 100 years ago, but the three people beside me said in unison, "This is today"!

When You Yunran heard this sentence, goosebumps immediately rose.

Old castles, eccentric nobles, newspapers from 100 years ago, and "people" who lived in the past...

It's impossible to say that it's not scary, especially when it was still in that kind of eerie and dark place, surrounded by a group of strangers except for the guy who looked like a ghost.

You Yunran rationally chose to acquiesce to the opinions of several people, and did not raise any objections.

It's just that when he was picking up religious books, he took another "fashion magazine" from a hundred years ago and looked at it, wanting to prove his judgment again through the contents of the book.

At this time, You Yunran saw the housekeeper brought four sets of clothes.Three sets are "time sense" ancient costumes that are different from modern styles, and one set is "modern costumes".

This undoubtedly confirmed that You Yunran's guess was correct.

At the same time, it also indirectly shows that the attitude of the housekeeper who took the initiative to take out such a configuration of clothes at that time is very interesting.

This guy knew from the very beginning that one of the four people's "timeline" was wrong. It was a modern person living in the present, not an "old guy" with memories of 100 years ago.

And the butler undoubtedly knew that that person belonged to You Yunran—Annie's clothes were for women, John's clothes were obviously the wrong size, Daxiu and You Yunran's clothes were from different eras, so no matter how you think about it, it must be You Yunran's clothes. Cloud stained.

But the housekeeper didn't expose it face to face.

So You Yunran took the only book with "evidence" that might arouse the suspicion of the three people around him, and took it to change clothes to prevent it from being taken away by others, and then took out the room and sat on the sofa Browsing alone.

"At that time, I wondered why there was such a time difference, and whether there was any conspiracy behind all this. Until Miss Annie disappeared, the chess player told me that there was an 'inner ghost' among us. At that moment, I understand everything."

You Yunran said with a smile: "It's just that, at that time, everyone, including Mr. Chess, didn't expect that it was not 'there are ghosts in a group of people', but 'there are ghosts in a group of people'. Before everyone could react, I preemptively took over the identity of a 'ghost' and recruited a ghost to be by my side to help me achieve my goal."

Originally, You Yunran planned to let everyone continue to maintain the beautiful misunderstanding of "there are three human beings". He took the opportunity to fool the three ghosts around him, making them believe that he is a human being, and everyone destroys the mirror together as a human being. How much is destroyed.

But You Yunran was not sure where the program group planned to reveal the identity of the ghost, so that Daxiu and the others could find out.In case there was something that Daxiu and the others knew but You Yunran didn't, then You Yunran would easily reveal his secrets, causing Daxiu and the others to suddenly betray him.

Just like Daxiu's "Kennell" surname, John staring straight at the words on the mirror, and the female ghost finding Annie...all uncontrollable factors.

So after much deliberation, You Yunran decided to pretend to be the camp of ghosts and take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, which is safer.

"So, who among the three ghosts should be a helper needs to be carefully considered." You Yunran said.

"It's too early to look for it. Before the ghost realizes his true identity, my transaction cannot be established."

"John with a mirror on his body is obviously not good. It would be very deliberate to use a 'pestle' to exchange."

"So I chose Annie to help."

"She should have realized her identity as a ghost. With the help of a female ghost by her side, there is a very high possibility that Annie will successfully take the mirror away from the unsuspecting John."

"So..." the butler said slowly: "You just fabricated the existence of the so-called 'pestle', and tricked the three masters into destroying the mirror, so this kind of thing is necessary?"

Speaking of this, the butler seemed to say in an unbelievable tone: "Using a small 'hairpin'?"

"It doesn't matter if it's a hairpin or something else, as long as it's something they don't know." After thinking about it, You Yunran actually found this scam a bit funny. He shrugged and said: "You guys told me, leave The ghosts after entering the castle don’t remember everything. In fact, they didn’t even notice the big difference in the age of their clothes—so I just drew an ancient accessory that noble women would use as a “trading tool”, Using this ubiquitous thing as 'one of the necessary conditions for breaking the level', I exchanged it from Annie for the mirror in John's hand."

Poor Annie was holding an ordinary jewelry, and she thought it was a very important treasure, so she ordered the female ghost to carefully hide the jade hairpin, so that no one else could find it.In exchange for such a thing, she even handed over the mirror that was at stake with her life.

You Yunran said indifferently: "If I don't make up such a thing and ask Annie for help, I will have to do it myself on John's side. At that time, I have to face the three enemies and their ghosts alone, which is too strenuous. .”

On the contrary, now he just paid a lie and the hairpin he took out from the bedroom as the price, and got together three mirrors, and no one doubted him during the whole process, allowing him to walk in front of the butler all the way safe and sound .

"Very easy." You Yunran said happily.

"Easy?" The butler said coldly: "All you said must be based on the premise that I am willing to help you."

As long as the steward gives any clue that can expose You Yunran's lies, You Yunran will definitely lose this game.

The housekeeper couldn't figure out why You Yunran had such confidence, he wouldn't interfere in it and hinder You Yunran's plan.

You Yunran smiled indifferently, and said to the butler, "You won't do this. If you really want to stop me, you can point out my identity as an outsider, or directly attack me..."

Butler: "So you're betting."

"No." You Yunran said confidently, "I'm not betting, on the contrary, I know that it is absolutely impossible for you to reveal my identity."

"Oh?" The butler said with a gloomy expression, "Why are you so sure?"

With his hands behind his back, You Yunran said slowly, "It's just... Annie and the others, why did they come back before?"

After hearing this, the housekeeper's expression changed slightly.
