Chapter 306

Just when they didn't know which way to go in, the door on the right side of the castle slowly opened, and a lovely girl dressed as a maid came out, smiling and said, "you are very welcome to come."

"The entrance is here."

Maori see light suddenly, said as like as two peas, the door on the left side of the castle slowly opened, and a girl who was just like the maid just walked out. The same smiling person said, "I'm very glad to welcome you here."

Maori Kouro's eyes turned around on the two maids and said in surprise, "what's going on?"

The maid outside the left gate smiled and said, "Hello, guests. I'm the maid here, Naimi Niigata, the sister of Naimi Niigata. Mr. Maori and the three companions you brought, please come in from the east entrance and have a rest."

The maid outside the gate on the right side, followed by a reminder: "Hello, guests, I'm the maid here, naruho Niigata, naruho's sister, Mr. piantong, Mr. Songping and miss Changliang. Please come in from the west entrance on my side and have a rest."

After hearing two people as like as two peas, they knew they were twins. No wonder they had the same looks and temperament.

However, they were also confused by the words of the twin maid. Song Pingshou asked blankly, "why do we divide the two sides?"

The maid sister seemed to be used to the guest's inquiry and skillfully explained, "because the house is divided into two different parts: the East and the West. All the guests arranged by the owner to stay in the West Wing will enter from the west entrance. Similarly, the east wing is the same. This is the usual practice of the ancient castle."

After the maid sister finished, the maid sister then added: "in this ancient castle, if you don't abide by the Convention, it will lead to disaster afterwards. As for the reason..."

Said here, the twin maid's face at the same time showed a strange smile and said faintly: "because here is the residence inhabited by the mask of curse."

"Curse mask..."

"Disaster..."

The strange words of the maid sisters, coupled with the shrill crows outside the castle, suddenly made the atmosphere delicate.

"Brother Zhenyu..." Xiaolan is most afraid of ghosts and gods, and subconsciously grabs Bai Yan Zhenyu's arm.

"Xiaolan, it's okay. We're here."

Baiyan Zhenyu was not afraid at all. After patting Xiaolan on the shoulder to comfort her, he said, "uncle, since it's the custom here, let's follow the Lord."

"Well, Zhenyu is right. Let's go."

Maori xiaowulang was also a brave man. He immediately recovered and walked to the east entrance with Bai Yan Zhenyu and others.

After Bai yanzhenyu acted, song Pingshou and others followed suit and walked to the entrance on the other side.

After entering the East Hall, they found that many masks with different shapes were hung on the surrounding walls as decorations.

After seeing the puzzled look of the people, the maid sister smiled and explained, "teacher Su Fang has always had the hobby of collecting masks."

"This way, please."

After the people appreciated the masks here, the maid sister led the people to the second floor, stopped in front of a white door with strong European style, stretched out her hand and arranged: "I'll go to get your luggage now and ask you to wait in this masked hall for the time being."

"OK, please."

Baiyan Zhenyu and others answered and pushed the door into the fake hall. It was found that songpingshou and others who entered from the west entrance also pushed the door from the opposite side.

Seeing this behind the scenes, Bai yanzhenyu suddenly realized: "I see. It seems that this room is the channel connecting the East chamber and the west chamber."

After tongsong Pingshou and others nodded, they visited the masked hall.

The so-called masked hall is the hall for storing masks. It is like a small private museum. There are a large number of strange masks of different ages and shapes. Obviously, the owners here have spent a lot of effort.

"It's amazing. I can collect so many masks."

Xiao Lan admires the collections in the hall curiously and exclaims from time to time. Bai Yan Zhenyu and Conan, who are not interested in this, wander around the hall at will.

"Eh? What is this?"

Suddenly, Conan found something similar to the remote control on a display cabinet and curiously pressed the control button on it.

"Shua ~"

With a slight mechanical start sound, the red curtains around the hall suddenly opened from the middle to the side, revealing what was hidden behind - a large number of white masks with the same shape.

The shapes of these white masks are strange. They have no nose and ears, only empty eyes and mouth. At a glance, they seem to be laughing at everyone, which makes people feel a little cold in the back.

"There are so many masks..."

"What are these masks?"

Just when everyone was in doubt, Su fanghongzi, the owner of the ancient castle, and her secretary, Daoye hedai, appeared at the door of the masquerade hall and proudly explained: "these are all Xiao Boer's masquerades, which are my most proud collection. How do you feel?"

"A good collection."

"What an eye opener."

Although most people were not interested in these masks, they were polite and praised Su Fang's Hongzi collection.

Xiaolan looked at these strange white masks, gathered around Baiyan Zhenyu, and asked in a low voice, "brother Zhenyu, what is Xiao Boer's mask?"

Baiyan Zhenyu recalled the knowledge he had learned from the [carving] skills and explained: "the mask of schoble is the 200 masks completed by the Spanish genius sculptor schoble conderes before his death, also known as curse masks."

"Curse mask?" Xiaolan was surprised at the speech and couldn't help crying out.

"Yes, schoble is a tragic sculptor. Although he has unique talent, he fell into the trap set by his jealous brother. Finally, his status, reputation and property were robbed. From then on, he was completely desperate for human nature and kept carving these masks like being possessed by something."

"After he finished carving the 200th mask, he ended his life at home. These masks were scattered around his body and stained with blood, just like sucking his blood..."

After hearing Xiaolan's exclamation, Su fanghongzi looked over and explained with a smile why they were called [curse masks].
