Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 11 The Pretender's Strange Lines
As the flow of people climbed the spiral staircase, facing Lyle, there was a gate. If you guessed correctly, the main hall of the castle should be behind the gate.

A large number of light bats were lying on the gate, arranged in the words of Andrei, and Lyle knew that the bat wings of the light bats turned out to be more than one color.

As the door slowly opened, Lyle's mood gradually became excited, as if the mysterious side was also opening the door for him.

The world behind the door...

Actually there is no difference.

There was no one on the stone steps directly opposite, and the dean didn't seem to come yet.

The disguised figures gathered together in twos and threes, whispering one after another, without the banquet-like delicacies as a foil, and even without tables and chairs to rest, everyone stood in the hall and communicated with each other.

Andre's crowd doesn't have much entertainment talent, maybe it's a student whose talent is all about research.

The welcome concert was played in the stands on both sides.

But obviously the performer's brain is also different from ordinary people, and Lyle can hear Cassandel's Requiem, the mournful music played when the dead are buried.

Dozens of tracks mix together in a disturbingly disorganized manner, but the mournful bleakness in the tone suggests that they mean nothing more than a Requiem.

The whole hall can be summed up as the unreasonable performers playing their own sad music in a chaotic manner. Dozens of versions of the sad music are mixed together. I really admire them. Under this kind of noise interference, their performance has not gone out of tune. .The people downstairs silently endured this torture, pretending to communicate with others without incident, as if Lyle was the only one who felt depressed.

Fortunately, the welcoming concert ended soon. The performers put down their instruments and joined the crowd in the hall. People outside the door also jumped in. The main hall was still large enough to not be crowded.

"Mr. Epidemic Doctor, about the vegetable soup you mentioned before with the light bat..."

The gentleman seemed to want to speak his mind.

"An Le, Mr. Gentleman." A passing pretender greeted Mr. Gentleman.

"Anle, Mr. White."

Mr. White nodded slightly and walked away.

"Mr. Epidemic Doctor, about vegetable soup..."

"An Le, Mr. Gentleman." Another greeter.

"An Le, Miss Yinxing." He left again indifferently.

"vegetable soup……"

"An Le, Mr. Gentleman."

"..."

Lyle smiled, and the greeters seemed to be deliberately interrupting, turning away after the greeting was answered, as if to say, "Mr. Gentleman, I just wanted to call you by your name."

Mr. Gentleman didn't seem to think so, he shrugged at Lyle, "Mr. Epidemic Doctor, I'm afraid my doubts can only be postponed temporarily, if I don't handle my friend's warm greetings, I think our dialogue will be difficult to maintain. , please allow me to retire, Mr. Epidemic Doctor."

"Okay, gentleman." Lyle said he didn't care.

The gentleman raised the top hat on his head, bowed slightly to Lyle on his chest, and disappeared into the crowd.

Lyle found a support column in the main hall and leaned on it. This is the first time to rest tonight. Obviously, he is a young man and feels uncomfortable with the amount of activity tonight. Come to the energy to continue the discussion, is it a hot pillow for learning?

Andrea's people are incapable of changing emotional intelligence, rigid in dealing with others, and indifferent to extraordinary things, but they remain enthusiastic in knowledge and have a strong energy that never sleeps. Will I become like this in the future?

This is the general picture, but there are some exceptions, such as the enthusiastic Mr. Gentleman, who seems to be very social, as evident by his popularity among his peers.

Lyle discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Everyone's camouflage is different, generally speaking, it can be divided into three categories.

ordinary human beings.

Including Lyle, the camouflage on the body is full-coverage coat, or strict business attire, which is the majority of the crowd.

Extraordinary Humans.

Weird dress up.

Lyle saw a pretender dressed as a king not far away, with a diamond-encrusted crown on his head, a golden scepter in his hand, a red shawl, and silk clothes. The whole thing looked very expensive.That camouflage doesn't look like a costume, but the wealth displayed by this dress is no problem.

In addition, there are knight armor, doll suits and human figures wrapped in full body bandages. Lyle is not sure if it is a mummy, but it does.

The addition of these exotic costumes turned this hall into a fancy dress party, but it also brought a lot of freshness. The uniform dark dress caused aesthetic fatigue.

Lyle also noticed that these colorful pretenders seem to be at the core of each social circle. So, is it the grotesque clothes that only the strong can control.

The third category.

non-human.

Outlandish clothes Lyle can barely accept, have you ever seen a big wardrobe swaying forward at a party, every time it moves, the sharp corners make a thumping sound on the ground, you have not chosen your clothes, so Moved the closet?
There's also a giant pillow, with a human figure protruding from above, indicating that a person is moving inside.

The curtains were dragged on the ground, and there were four doors that formed a square box.

Lyle is aware of his narrow understanding of the term clothing.

The door opened again, and a tall figure once again shocked Lyle's three views.

Tuk tuk tuk.

This is the sound of the big iron moving.

At the top is a statue of the head of a beautiful girl, and below it is a huge hollow iron cabinet. The surface is evenly arranged with diamond-shaped protrusions. There is a large iron ring on all sides. Make sure the victims inside don't struggle to escape.

If it is the same as Lyle's memory, the interior is a human-shaped space, full of iron nails of different lengths, and a secret door full of iron pieces and saw blades at the bottom to ensure that the victim's fragments are smoothly discharged.

This is the Iron Maiden, a torture device used for interrogation and torture in the Middle Ages.

Lyle was amazed by the fierce man in it, and Lyle was not the only one who was amazed. Everyone's eyes seemed to be focused on this beating iron maiden.

The iron maiden still moved on her own way.

tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk.

Jumped in front of Lyle! ! !

The much-anticipated pressure suddenly came to Lyle's side.

After swallowing his saliva, he took a deep breath of the medicinal fragrance of the bird's beak. A pungent bloody smell was filtered out, but Lyle could still smell it.

This Iron Maiden is the real deal!
Lyle was so frightened that he almost fell and pinched his weak thigh. Now is the time to show what he has learned in his life.

"An Le, sir." Lyle took off his hat and bowed like a gentleman.

"...An Le, sir." A woman's voice came from the Iron Maiden, obviously she didn't bother about Lyle's wording mistakes.

"What's the matter? Young lady." No matter who she is, it's definitely right to praise her youth.

"I'm curious, you..."

"The epidemic doctor, you can call me the epidemic doctor, ma'am."

"I'm Arianne, Mr. Epidemic Doctor, why do you look at me like that?"

With so many pairs of eyes, you just grab me, and Lyle pleads for herself in her heart.

"They all used the surprised eyes of [and this kind of operation], but your eyes... have mercy."

Lyle does feel sympathy for the victims of the Iron Maiden, which is inevitable, after all, it is such a shocking torture device.

"I just sympathize with the people who once died in this iron maiden. They should not have suffered this kind of torture."

"...It's a pity that Mr. Epidemic Doctor actually came here."

Um?What do you mean?I do not deserve?Does mercy symbolize weakness in this day and age?
Lyle, who was conscientious, did not dare to answer, and could only stand on the side silently.

Elianne also stood beside her, as if it were a torture tool.

The air around them was filled with the smell of blood.
