So you came to the door with bare feet, and you were not in a hurry to go out, ready to turn on the light.
The position of the switch was successfully found, but after a few clicks, the light was broken.
You had to go back to the bed, put on your shoes in the dark, and grope around on the bedside table by the way.
There will be many servants in such a large manor, someone should have noticed this.
The lights were not working, which means there will be spare candles in the room.
What you didn't expect was that you touched a glass of water and almost knocked it over.Looks like someone has prepared it for you.
What a thoughtful person.
You took a sip from your glass, pursed your lips, and continued to sleep.
But when you put the cup back, you touch something again.According to the feel, it seems to be a piece of paper.
So you leaned closer to the face to have a look.
Sure enough, it was a piece of paper, about the size of a postcard, and its current position... You stretched out your hand to measure it. This piece of paper was originally pressed under the water glass.
The glass of water is still warm, so the piece of paper is also for you.
Thinking of this, you no longer feel sleepy, so you simply stretched out your hand and touched it again. After making sure that there was nothing else on the bedside table, you got out of bed and came to the stove, and looked at the piece of paper by the firelight.
There are a few lines of writing on it.
You squat down and read the specific content silently. The first line is as follows:
"I am the housekeeper of Palmhill Manor, beautiful lady, I wish you a pleasant evening."
It turned out that the piece of paper was left by the old housekeeper.
You continue to look down:
"The light in the room was broken a few days ago, and I haven't had time to fix it. Let me apologize for the inconvenience caused."
Sure enough, it was broken.
You remember that the old housekeeper brought you here, that is to say, he already knew about it, but he didn't tell you in advance.
Did you forget?
But you quickly dismissed this idea. Judging from the act of leaving a piece of paper, he should be a careful person.
Besides, sometimes you can judge a person's character by handwriting, which is what your mother taught you.
The handwriting on the piece of paper was neat, and the black font was listed as regulations. The description was an important content, which showed his rigorous character.
Unless the lights in the entire third floor room are out.
Or, only this room is unoccupied.
You shook your head, it didn't make much sense to think about this kind of thing, your hands were a little hot from the fire, you couldn't help but stepped back, and continued to look at the items below by the light of the fire.
"1. There is warm water prepared by the bedside. You must have seen it, but you should save some water, because it will be gone if you drink it all."
Of course the water will be gone.
You are confused by this sentence, let's take it as the care of the elderly.
This kind of "caring" really has the following:
"2. The corridor at night is very dark. It is best not to go out, or you will get lost. There are many rooms in the corridor on the third floor. Once you go out, it is not easy to find it... I mean, it is best not to go out at night .”
"3. If you can't fall asleep, you can try to count sheep. This is a good way to deal with insomnia, but please remember to close your eyes when lying on the bed. Opening your eyes is a sign of sheep will only make the sleepiness slip away. Close your eyes, even if Can't sleep."
Seeing this, you are a little dumbfounded. This old housekeeper who doesn't seem to talk much turns out to be a nagging person behind his back.
Hmm... In short, this can be regarded as the kindness of the old man.
There was crackling sound from the fireplace, and the light of the fire became a little dim.
You yawned, and while there was still some light, you finished reading in one breath, anyway, there was only the last one left.
"4. I don't know when you saw this piece of paper——
if it is morning;
Hope you had good dreams last night and had a great night.If you are hungry, you can come to the restaurant to eat at any time.
if it is late at night;
So, after reading this passage, please throw the paper into the stove.
ASAP. "

Longqitan under the Moon: Chapter 88 You Can't Escape
if it is late at night;
So, after reading this passage, please throw the paper into the stove.
ASAP.
……
A brief silence.
The previously dumbfounded mood was interrupted, and now there is a look of astonishment on your face.
In any case, the contrast between before and after is too great.
You were still thinking about the meaning, but suddenly your body felt cold, which made you shiver unconsciously.
So you throw the piece of paper into the fire and watch it burn, curl, and turn into a cloud of ashes.
Obviously, despite the countless doubts in your mind, subconsciously, your hands obediently followed the instructions on the piece of paper.
You take a deep breath and sit down hugging your body, but the dark room can't give you any comfort.
You realize it's not like a joke.
Gradually, the cold feeling leaves your heart, and you feel a sense of happiness in your heart, although you still don't know the intention.
The rambling words on the piece of paper seemed to have a different meaning at this time.This will inevitably make you think a little more.
Water glasses, rooms without lights, don't go out, and, don't close your eyes...
You think back to that piece of paper again, the seemingly warm words on it now seem more like cold orders.You really want to pick it up and look at it a few more times, but unfortunately, there is no trace left in the flames.
You think of your father and mother, and want to throw yourself into their arms. You start to regret why you came early for dinner. It would be nice if you were with them...
It's a pity that things don't happen. When you come back to your senses, such an environment will amplify all negative emotions, and the darkness and silence seem to swallow you up.
Your precocious personality makes you force yourself to calm down. You come to the door, touch the position of the switch, and want to try again a few times without giving up. Maybe there is something you missed just now?
The result still disappoints you, the light in the room is indeed broken.
A thought suddenly popped into your mind——
Desperately rush out, then yell and run down the hallway, someone will always hear you and get out of this strange room.
But your hunch tells you not to, or something bad will happen.
So you stay where you are and don't move.
Then, the best choice at this time should be to continue to sleep as if nothing happened.
But your steps didn't move in the direction of the bed.
Curiosity killed the cat, you know this sentence, but at this time you can't hold back the desire in your heart, you are eager to get as much information as possible.Even if you vaguely understand, you may not be able to afford the consequences of doing so.
Minutes, just minutes!Just search the room for a few minutes, and fall asleep immediately if there is no result, it is only a few minutes late, it will not make any difference, you comfort yourself in your heart.
Of course, the greatest courage to support you in doing so is that there is nothing in that piece of paper that prohibits such behavior.
You start to observe in the dark, and you can see a fireplace, a bed, and a writing desk.
On both sides of the bed are wardrobes and bay windows with curtains drawn. These seem to be the only things in the room.
You groped along the wall, your body trembling unconsciously, and finally, you touched a square object.
That is a picture frame.
After thinking about it, you finally disassembled it and took it to the fire.
You scanned it by the light of the fire, and to your surprise, there were no photos or portraits in the photo frame, but a piece of paper with dense black words written on it.
At the top of the page is a bold headline:
"Manor check-in rules.
Dear friends, welcome to Palmhill Manor.
The manor has a long history and pleasant scenery. Here you can taste special food and wine, visit rich collections, and we will provide you with the most comfortable environment.
Finally, in order for you to have a pleasant time during your stay, please abide by the following rules:”
These rules are also written in the form of a line, and your breathing starts to quicken.
Because the answer may lie below.
"1. The manor has a wealth of outdoor entertainment facilities: musical fountains, sky swimming pools, open-air theaters, garden mazes... You can play as much as you want, but the opening hours of the facilities are limited to daytime.
Therefore, please pay attention to the time when you are playing, and return indoors immediately after dark.Please also observe this entry on cloudy days. "
"2. No animals have ever been kept in the manor. If you find traces of them, don't approach or touch them. Please inform the servant as soon as possible."
"3. The servants of the manor are a group of people who are loyal to their duties. They will try their best to meet your requirements within the scope of the code, but it should be noted that the working hours of the servants are only during the day."
"4. Before checking in, please be sure to check whether the lighting facilities in the room are complete. If there is any damage, please inform the maid, and they will change another room for you."
"5. Before you go to bed, the maid will deliver a glass of warm water to your room. The fireplace burns very hot at night, and the air will become dry, so please accept this glass of water."
"6. Black tea is one of the characteristics of the manor. It has the effect of helping you sleep. The servant will provide you with dinner. Please drink a little. But please be careful not to drink too much, or you will suffer from insomnia."
You were stunned when you saw this. You did drink black tea in the restaurant not long ago, but because of your greedy mouth, you definitely drank more than a little.
So, are you insomnia?
Whatever the cause, the result is the same.
That is, in a sense, you are violating Article [-].
Now that you are sitting in the silent, dark room, you begin to wonder if you might have slept through the night without incident if you hadn't sat up a few minutes ago because you were thirsty.
Then you suddenly understand that it doesn't matter how much black tea you drink, what matters is the result of doing so:
Insomnia.
Your body is a little stiff, and your intuition tells you that there should be a deeper meaning behind the word insomnia, because both the housekeeper and this code have been specifically mentioned.
But what about after that?
It seems that there is a kind of tacit agreement that ends here, and the information you can get is interrupted here.
You leaned against the fireplace, the heat and light can bring you a sense of security at this time, you closed your eyes and buried your head in your arms.
This is a private estate open to the public.
In a manor, the check-in rules are generally not posted in the room.
You nailed the fireplace, rustling it, recalling what was in the code, and the tingle from your fingertips helped you continue to make judgments.
If...you mean if, what you're seeing these days isn't a goddamn prank, well, something bad is going to happen at the manor after dark.
And in a manor that is normally open to the outside world, there must be some things that cannot be said on the surface.
So……
You take a deep breath, then close your eyes and stand up, stepping your trembling legs close to the wall...
There must be something after insomnia in this room.
You wake up in the middle of the night without knowing when.
You cannot escape.
