Chapter 258 Others Are Hell

Bai Zhi didn't say why she gave up hiding and accompanied him to adventure in the castle, and Ning Zhe didn't ask either. The two of them left the laundry room one after the other and stepped onto the gray and white stone path.

Walking along the path, they came to a wide avenue, with the two sides of the avenue connecting the cleansing hall and the main entrance of the castle's main building. Ning Zhe roughly imagined in his mind: the people living in the castle came out of the main entrance, walked along the wide avenue into the cleansing hall to bathe, then walked through the path full of roses in the flower garden, and entered the lecture room to listen to sermons. In the execution ground outside the door, a head had just fallen to the ground.

The more Ning Zhe looked at Vanessa Castle, the more it looked like a cult den.

Europeans have no habit of planting trees in gardens. The only green in the stone walls is the thorny roses in the flower beds. Other than that, it is a gloomy gray. Being in the besieged city, it feels cramped and depressing.

The main body of the bell tower is a typical European-style fortress: thick walls, high windows, and narrow doors. It is more like a gorgeous prison cell than a living quarters. Ning Zhe came to the main entrance of the bell tower, but the iron-clad wooden door was tightly closed and seemed to be locked from the inside.

Ning Zhe lit the corpse oil lamp, carefully controlled the range of the light, and pulled Bai Zhi around the outer wall of the bell tower, before finally finding a gap to enter with the help of the light.

The light fell on the ground. There were a few wet bricks scattered at Ning Zhe's feet. The orange light of the corpse oil lamp shone a nearly three-meter-high hole in the outer wall of the bell tower. Judging from the fact that the bricks were scattered outdoors instead of indoors, the hole should have been knocked or rushed open from the inside out.

Having learned from previous experience, Ning Zhe was very conservative in providing light this time. He carefully lifted a corner of the skin and wanted to raise the corpse oil lamp higher to get closer to the cave to see the situation.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the hole and grasped his wrist.

Ning Zhe was quick-witted and quickly pulled out the dagger hanging on his waist with his other hand and raised his hand to stab, but his body was only that of a weak and thin girl, and he was also on his menstrual period. Before Ning Zhe could stab the dagger in his hand, it was grasped by another hand that stretched out from the hole with overwhelming force. A tall and thin blond young man walked out from inside and appeared in front of the two.

"Calm down, Cynthia, I know you are scared, but you have to stay calm, understand? Only in this way can we have a chance to get out alive." The blond young man pried open Ning Zhe's fingers, took the dagger in his hand, and covered the corner of the skin that was lifted on the corpse oil lamp back.

"Cynthia...?" Bai Zhi stood behind Ning Zhe, hesitating whether to smash the lamp in her hand at the blond young man's head. If it was too late, the sneak attack might not be effective. However, this man and Ning Zhe seemed to know each other in their current identities.

Ning Zhe once wondered whether Taiyi's rules could work properly in this 'Vanessa Castle'. Now his doubts have been answered:

——After the blond young man mistook Ning Zhe, who was wearing the body of a white girl, as the 'Cynthia' he knew, Ning Zhe obtained the memories related to the two of them in Cynthia's mind.

The blond young man is called Spencer Nabar, and he is a college student on the Apennine Peninsula.

Ning Zhe's current body belongs to a girl named 'Cynthia', who is a classmate of the blond youth Spencer. Bai Zhi's current image of a petite blond girl comes from Spencer's sister, Kachiya Nabal.

The three of them went out of town with a group of college classmates and stayed at a beautiful country farm. Several Chinese students in the group were very interested in ancient European castles. A classmate named "Salazar" said that he happened to be a local and knew since he was a child that there was a "Vanessa Castle" in the nearby mountains. It was said that it was a private castle of an ancient duke.

After the establishment of the United States of Europe, these ancient buildings with a long history either became cultural relics protection units or were bought by wealthy and powerful people for private use, but Fort Vanessa was an exception.

Although the European government has sent a construction team to repair the castle, and there are people who regularly maintain it every year, the castle itself is not open to the public as a tourist attraction. As a local, Salazar has never heard of any big shot buying Vanessa Castle. Over time, the mystery surrounding Vanessa Castle has intensified.

So the next morning, a group of noisy college students put on their equipment and went into the mountains full of curiosity, and then as expected, an accident happened. They got separated in the mountains.

The lost people were running around in the forest like headless flies. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps they were influenced by some power, but under the cover of thick fog, they all arrived at Vanessa Castle one after another.

"I was trying to get to the other side through a fallen dead tree that was across the ravine, but when I got to the middle, the trunk suddenly broke, and I fell down and lost consciousness." Spencer Nabal let go of Ning Zhe's hand and said, "When I woke up, I was already in Vanessa Castle. I didn't know how I got in, or how to get out, until I found this note in the compartment of the bedside table..."

Spencer pulled out a yellowed piece of letter paper from his pocket and unfolded it in front of the two of them.

【The note found by Spencer】

【Gui'an, the latecomer.】

[When you see this note, I should have died on the way out of here]

[Vanessa Castle is an evil place that is despised by the Lord. It is a hell of fire that imprisons demons. If a mortal mistakenly enters here, the only fate is death.]

[But if you are truly blessed by the Lord, you may be able to find the secret basement in the deepest part of the castle. That is the only way to escape from here.]

[Go and find it, take your lamp and find the only way to survive]

[Light can illuminate the real world for you, but it will also attract the devil's prying eyes]

[Go and search, bring your own light, but be careful of other people’s lights]

【Other people are hell.】

"Others are hell." After reading the words on the letter, Ning Zhe whispered and repeated the last sentence, then looked up at the blond young man in front of him.

Through the memories just obtained, this guy named Spencer Nabar has some sexual intentions towards Cynthia, a female classmate. If he is willing to sell some of his sex appeal, he may be able to control this person to do something for him.

After thinking for a moment, Ning Zhe rejected this idea in his heart. He couldn't sell his looks. The most he could do was pretend to be a cute girl and act coquettishly and call him "good brother" a few times.

It was already humiliating to be ridden on and bullied by Xia Yubing every night, and Ning Zhe didn't want to be ridden by a man again.
