Chapter 14 Never Existed

Li He glanced at Fei'er and Wei'er who were confused, and spoke slowly to give an explanation.

"The roads of Gray Rock Mountain, Emerald Lake, Blackwater Swamp, and Shadow Forest are guided by pathfinding spars.

Since we know that the ultimate goal is Rensa, there is no need to follow this road completely. Not only is it tortuous and difficult to walk, but there may be a checkpoint deliberately set by the earl for us.

We can take the water route, first follow the Green Creek River to Dust Town, and then follow the Lemon River all the way north to reach Lunsa by the sea.Easier and more convenient. "

"So, we're going to the docks now?"

Li He shook his head again: "We are indeed going to the pier, but before that, we have to go back to Blackstone Castle."

"doing what?"

"First, many of my research items are in the castle, so I must take them with me before I leave.

Second, and most importantly, the earl guides us to Lensa to accept the test. Apart from receiving guidance, we must also have our own thinking and goals, otherwise we will be completely manipulated.

For example, I am very curious now, how Monasa, Lunas, and Hill disappeared, and whether the Earl left some things or clues when he took them away.All of these have to go back to Blackstone Castle to have a look. "

"But...don't you be afraid to go back to Blackstone Castle?" Weier said hesitantly.

"Why are you afraid? What dangerous things are there in Blackstone Castle?"

"I don't know... but I always feel that since you have left the castle, you should not go back. Going back is not a good idea."

"Why should we be afraid of something we don't even know? If you are really afraid, then find a way to figure it out. When you figure it out, no matter how great the horror is, it will be nothing more than a bunch of data in your eyes. Okay. Alright, let's go."

While speaking, Li He stepped towards the door.

Wei'er and Fei'er looked at each other and followed quickly.

……

After a while, Li He, Wei Er, and Fei Er returned to the Black Rock Castle.

There was a dead silence inside the Blackstone Castle, and the cold moonlight shone through the clouds, making the castle look even more gloomy.

The moss in the corner, the vines in the corner, and the towering black pine, like hidden invisible eyes, are peeping.

Fei'er kept turning her little head to look around, a little vigilant, while Wei'er's face was tense, but she was very nervous.

"Li He, I'm a little scared." Wei'er couldn't help grabbing Li He's arm and said, "Why don't we pack our things quickly and leave quickly."

"Wait for a while." Li He patted Wei'er's head and comforted him, "Soon, let's check the castle first. After the inspection, we will pack up and leave."

While speaking, Li He walked towards the main castle.

With a sound of "twisting", Li He took Wei'er and Fei'er, pushed open the thick black door of the main castle, and walked into the living room of the main castle.

The hall was very deep, and the moonlight from outside came in, barely illuminating a small area at the door, and the area inside was as dark as ink, like a monster's mouth, choosing to eat people.

Without fear, Li He lit the torch, walked straight into the living room, and carefully checked everything in the living room.

The result is... business as usual.

Compared with usual, the lobby has not changed in any way.

Li He frowned, and brought Wei'er and Fei'er into the restaurant again.

The same is true, the dining table is no different from the past, it is clean and spotless.

Finally, Li Hyuk walked into the kitchen.

It can be seen that on the dining table in the kitchen, there are many prepared dishes, which have cooled down because they have been left for too long.

On the stove, there was a copper pot, in which soup was boiling.Because of the continuous roasting, the soup has bottomed out, and the copper pot is also burning red.

It seemed that a group of maids were here not long ago preparing dinner for today, but suddenly, they all disappeared.

The countess, Fiona, Monasa, Lunas, and Hill also disappeared together.

Nothing has changed except people, who just disappear without a trace.

No reason, no clues.

Extremely incomprehensible, extremely weird.

Li He's eyes became serious, he extinguished the stove in the kitchen, walked out of the kitchen, and continued to inspect the rest of the main castle.

In the process, I was a little more careful.

Half an hour passed, and the main castle was almost checked, but nothing was found.

Finally, Li Hyuk stopped in front of a thick red wooden door, his eyes were as solemn as water, and looked at the door in front of him.

"Li He, this seems to be...the earl's room." Wei Er, who was standing next to her, said timidly, "shall we also check the earl's room?"

"Why not? There are no clues in the rest of the place, and the only place with clues is here. Theoretically, there should be many secrets in this room, related to the Earl and Blackstone Castle."

"But...what if the Earl finds out and gets angry?"

"Then apologize to her when we see her again. Before that, let's offend a little. Let's see what's in this room." Li He said, pushing the door hard.

The door remained motionless.

Ok?
Li He raised his eyebrows, felt the resistance from inside the door, took a deep breath, put his hands on the door, and pushed hard.

"Squeak - creak -"

There was a harsh sound like rusty gears turning, and the wooden door was finally pushed open with difficulty.

Li He, Wei'er, and Fei'er looked inside the door. The next moment, Wei'er and Fei'er were stunned, and Li He also opened his eyes slightly because of surprise. .

See, what appeared in front of my eyes was not the earl's bedroom in my imagination at all, but an empty room—there was nothing in the room

No, it's not empty. If you observe carefully, you can see thick dust on the ground, and cobwebs hanging on the corners of the walls. It looks like no one has lived in it for a long time.

This!
"Isn't the count sleeping here every day? How could he be like this?" Mayfair yelled in confusion.

"Yes, why?" Wei'er agreed, her eyes widened, full of doubts.

Li He squinted his eyes and scanned the room, he was also puzzled, and his brain thought quickly.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone has lived in the room. From the thickness of the dust and the density of the cobwebs, it can be inferred that it has been idle for several years.

But what Mayfair said was also true. Everyone in the castle knew that this room was the earl's bedroom, and the earl returned to this room every time he rested.

Every time the count appeared, he also walked out of this room.

Now the scene in front of him tells him that the reality is not like this.

So what's going on?

If no one has ever lived in this room, where did the count go back to?

Walking out of the room, where did it come from?

Or, in fact, there was no so-called earl from the beginning, and this room has always been vacant?

How to explain the memory of the past?How to explain the contact with the countess?

Are they all false?
Has it been tampered with?

At this moment, Li He couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling of illusion.

Looking at Fei'er and Wei'er again, the two reacted even more, their faces were pale and puzzled, and they felt that their worldview had been subverted.
