The old wooden door made a "squeaking" sound, and Alice quickly closed it gently before it made more noises.

Outside the door was the staircase leading to the ground floor. Alice quietly moved over and looked down through the railing.

There were many people walking around busy downstairs. They were wearing white clothes, but there were large dark stains on their clothes, which reminded Alice of the marks on Henry's pants that day.

"This can't be... no, no, no, how is it possible!" Alice shook her head vigorously, and she backed away from the stairs.She planned to find another way to go downstairs, or find a staircase leading upstairs. The castle was huge, so there were an unusually many suspicious places for her to search.

Setting a good goal can indeed double one's mobility. Alice searched along the corridor on this floor.But there was no target for her on this floor. Instead, she found another staircase leading to the ground floor.

It was already obvious what she wanted to do. By observing Alice, she found that there were no signs of people coming and going downstairs, so it was a very suitable opportunity to go downstairs.

Alice seized this opportunity. She walked downstairs in three steps and two steps, and then hid in another room with a half-open door.

It was a storage room used to store sundries. There were carpenter tools for repairing in the storage room. Alice rummaged through it, picked up a small hammer inside and stuffed it into her pocket.

Feeling the heavy weight in her waist bag, she relaxed a lot. She felt that even if she met someone else, she would have the opportunity to use a hammer to make the other person quiet for a while.

If it doesn't work... Then you can throw your pocket in other people's faces, right?

After leaving this storage room, Alice opened many doors one after another. Finally, she found what she needed in a particularly small compartment.

A set of linen clothes worn by a servant, white with specks of stains on them.

"Evil!" Alice picked up the sleeve of this dress and smelled it. She bet that the original owner of this dress definitely had body odor.

Otherwise, why would this work clothes have a strong odor?

However, she disliked it, so Alice still wore it.As soon as she put this slightly loose dress on her body, she immediately felt that she became a part of the castle - she was a new maid named Blake, the most inconspicuous kind.

In order to make herself look more "raunchy", Alice tousled her neatly combed hair and rubbed her face vigorously so that the dust on her hands would be imprinted on her pink and white face.

After finishing her disguise, Alice walked out of the compartment with confidence.She does have some ability in cross-dressing, and her disguise is perfect.They didn't even look at Alice suspiciously as they blended in with the other servants.

As for Alice, she followed them around the castle without any hindrance for a long time. No one discovered that she came from a world other than Black Moon Island, which made Alice feel happy.

"I still have many advantages!" she thought proudly.

After wandering around the ground floor for a while, Alice stepped into the kitchen.It was a big deal for her to enter. This kick not only gave her the opportunity to enter the banquet hall, but also made her realize the darkness hidden in this castle.

Chapter 121 The Black Moon is Coming (Part [-])

As soon as you step into this area, the smell of meat and blood hits your face. These smells directly overwhelm the aroma of the seasonings, making this place less like a holy place for cooking delicious food and more like a slaughterhouse.

The sound of chopping meat echoed in my ears, and just thinking about it made me feel like that big kitchen knife was chopping my body.

Alice raised her feet and walked around a little. After taking only two steps, she heard the sound of treading water under her feet.She lowered her head and looked down through the dim candlelight, and found that the ground was covered with a layer of smelly blood.

"Is this the liquid I just stepped on? Isn't this just blood!?" Alice felt nauseated. She stood on tiptoes and continued walking in a particularly awkward posture.

"This is really not a place for normal people to stay." After walking a certain distance, this sentence suddenly flashed in Alice's mind. She reacted and immediately turned around, planning to hurry up before she was discovered. leave.

But she didn't have the chance to walk out of the kitchen because someone came to her.

"Stop..." A hoarse bass sounded from behind Alice.

Alice turned around without any hope, and she found that the man who called her was very muscular, with swollen muscles, and a dirty coarse cloth tightly wrapped around his body, making it difficult for him to stop. He looked extremely dangerous.

However, the expression on his face was unusually harmless, and could even be said to be a little shrinking.

The man had a pair of clear brown eyes, the color of cinnamon, but in these eyes Alice could only see the fear of the unknown.

He spoke to Alice, and what came out after he spoke was a particularly low voice.

"Work, you have to work. Otherwise..." At this point, he tilted his head to the left, showing a half-sad expression: "Something will happen, something will happen."

After saying that, he straightened his arm and pointed to an unattended platform, and at the same time pushed Alice with his other hand, and Alice was pushed to the front of the platform without any explanation.

When I was forced to stand still in front of the stage, the first thing I saw was white printed plates of different sizes and sizes.

Alice did not touch them immediately, but rolled her eyes and began to look at the surrounding environment.

Directly opposite her, there was also a dining table, but the table opposite was filled with fresh ingredients.Alice could vaguely identify some common vegetables and fruits, but she couldn't distinguish the meat piled in a corner.

At the same time, a person was taking out some meat from the meat pile from time to time and cutting it on the chopping board.

Alice stared at the other person for a long time, but the person on the other side always seemed not to notice her presence, silently repeating the action of taking meat - chopping meat - and throwing it into the pot.

"I never saw even a vegetable leaf on that chopping board!" Looking at such a scene, Alice could not help but shout inwardly.

Even though Alice is not a qualified cook, she still knows how important it is to combine meat and vegetables. "What if the owner of this castle is a person who only loves eating meat?" Alice comforted herself silently, trying not to pay attention to the situation on the other side.

Not long after, the work that Alice was responsible for came quickly. The person on the table in front of her stopped and brought a bowl of steaming meat sauce to her.

Under the gaze of the big man, Alice reached out to take the bowl of steaming meat sauce and placed it on the table in front of her.

Alice's nose caught a strange aroma, perhaps an unusual spice in the meat sauce, which perfectly mixed the aroma of meat and seasonings.It gave her the urge to "taste a little".

But Alice endured it. She didn't want to get into any trouble because of her greedy talk. Besides...

Besides, the big guy was still staring at her from behind.

"How long is he going to keep an eye on me?" Alice thought in a state of collapse, while she was honestly completing her work in her hands.

According to the movements of the people on her left and right that she had noted when she peeked earlier, Alice smoothly put the meat sauce on the plate in a specific proportion.

"Okay! This should be no problem!" Alice threw away the bowl. She looked at the crowded dining table in front of her and continued to think secretly: "But there is really a lot of food that needs to be prepared in the kitchen. Is it possible that today Is there any banquet being held in the castle?"

There are more than 30 pate dishes like this in Alice's hands, and these plates filled with brown meat sauce occupy every corner of the table.After covering them one by one to prevent the heat from dissipating, Alice took the time to secretly turn her head and look behind her.

Alice saw that the big man seemed to be satisfied with her behavior. He nodded slightly, and then finally left behind her.

Alice couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him leaving, but then she never got the chance to leave the table or walk out of the kitchen. More and more food was passed through the people on the opposite side, and she began to become In a hurry.

In a panic, Alice had no idea what was at the bottom of her hand. She just poured it into the plate, then covered it with the silver lid and put it aside.

She became like everyone else, repeating mechanical movements for a long time.

After more than half an hour, no newly baked dishes were finally handed to Alice's hands. She took a breath and rubbed her stiff and sore back.

However, when she raised her head and looked around, she found that everyone was pushing a small dining cart outside.

At this time, the big man came to Alice again. She noticed that the other person was pushing a dining cart with both hands. The two dining carts were filled with food on the upper and lower floors.

Alice quickly understood. Under the gaze of the big man, she hurriedly took over the management of the dining cart, then pushed it out of the kitchen and joined the others.

After walking along the corridor with the others for a long time, Alice stood in front of two closed carved wooden doors.

Everyone in front of Alice had already walked in, leaving her standing outside the door with her dining cart.

"Would it be better for me to follow you in?" Alice swallowed and nervously grasped the handle of the dining car.

In order not to make herself redundant, and to prevent her identity from being exposed, Alice has no choice but to muster the courage to enter the world behind the door.

As soon as she entered the door, Alice was almost blinded by the too bright candlelight. The lights in the kitchen were extremely dim before. Compared with the light there, it was like day and night.

When her eyes regained their ability to see, Alice was stunned by the sight in front of her.She describes herself as someone who has seen a lot of the world. She has been to the king's palace and attended luxurious balls, but nothing can compare with the world in front of you.

Chapter 222 The Black Moon is Coming

The ten-meter-long mahogany dining table was filled with sumptuous food. There were nearly a hundred chairs on both sides of the dining table, and on each chair sat a distinguished guest wearing a rich costume.

Alice looked at their clothes and felt inferior for no reason.Even in her original era, she didn't have the opportunity to dress in such a luxurious way.

She could swear on her own behalf that the gem she saw on the neck of the lady closest to her was as big as an egg!

And not only the guests' clothes are unusually eye-catching, but also the decoration in the room is eye-catching.

Alice first glanced in the direction of the window. The huge floor-to-ceiling window was directly opposite her.Through the glass, she could clearly see the bright moon outside the window.When she turned her gaze to the left along the window, she saw the trophies hanging on the wall.

"Wait? Is that the head of a dragon?!"

Alice's eyes widened, staring at the dragon head hanging on the wall in disbelief. She knew what kind of existence dragons were, and she had also learned about the earth-shattering energy contained in their bodies.

But, but... what she sees now is...

"No, this must be fake, right?" Alice shook her head, forcing herself not to think wildly.After a while, she continued to observe the room used for the banquet, while waiting for what would happen next.

After standing aside and waiting for a long time, the host of the banquet finally arrived.He was a very handsome man, but he looked gloomy.

Red and crisp short hair stuck to his head, and Alice noticed that there was another person following behind him.

And when this person came into view, Alice's heartbeat began to accelerate.

"That's her! She's the one I'm looking for!!" This didn't come from love at first sight, but from the joy of finally finding the mission target.

Alice stared at the woman intently. She seemed to be about the same age as Alice. "Eva Griffin"?That should be her name, and Alice thought it was impossible for her to remember her name incorrectly.

Eva was here, in front of her.

"I have to talk to her. No! I have to talk to her!" Alice cheered up. She moved a few steps towards Eva, and then stayed where she could clearly see the other person's expression.

In fact, she wanted to walk a little further, but if she walked further, she would be extremely conspicuous.

Just as Alice was thinking about how to contact Eva, the banquet suddenly started.The owner of the castle, the handsome man Alice saw, raised the wine glass on the table and said loudly: "Welcome to your banquet. Today is the night when my dream comes true. My love, my Moon, I finally found her..."

Halfway through, he waved his hand to signal Eva to come to him, and Eva, this young girl, obediently walked over holding up her skirt.

She was hugged by the man, but her face still looked untroubled.

"This! This is the love of my life, Carlos Lightston!" That man, perhaps it is more appropriate to call him Carlos now.

Carlos was not dissatisfied with Eva's indifferent attitude. He just held a glass of red wine and looked lovingly at Eva's unwavering, emerald eyes.

His current expression reminded Alice, who was watching at the scene, of Samuel. When had Samuel spoken to him with a similar expression?Although all she could think about at that time was how to leave this strange man.

But it's clear that Eva Griffint doesn't think so.She snuggled into Carlos's arms and closed her eyes gently. In the eyes of outsiders, she looked like a little bird, completely immersed in her lover's arms.

But is this really the case?

Alice has always been skeptical about this. She was bathed in the compliments thrown by the distinguished guests at the scene, and she could not calm down in her heart.

No matter what angle she looked at, Eva gave her a strange feeling, as if this girl had no soul.

However, no matter how much she wanted to find out, she couldn't do anything at the banquet.She is now a servant responsible for serving food, and just a servant.

Now she was placing the food on the table in front of the guests and taking off the lid.As the lid was opened, a burst of white smoke escaped from it. After the smoke completely dissipated, Alice could no longer steady her hands.

The plate contained delicacies, but it was clearly a severed hand.Moreover, the severed hand was playfully placed in a "flower bush" carved out of vegetables, and there was even a small dish of dipping sauce beside it.

"Isn't this a human hand? No!?" Alice looked away, her stomach churning.Suppressing this feeling, she brought the second plate in front of the guest, and this time she got a cold dish.

Without the smoke surrounding her, Alice could see what was on the plate more clearly: a heart stewed in red wine.

She felt like vomiting for a moment, and it wasn't until now that she realized what the meat she saw in the kitchen was. She rolled her eyes and roughly scanned the table, and then her remaining hope was completely shattered. residue.
