Chapter 540: Accidentally Entering the Mirror City (Part )

"Hey, wake up."

In a corner of the organ room, Bald, kneeling on one knee, called softly in a low voice and patted Huang Donglai's face with his hand.

"what!"

He didn't hit it many times before Huang Donglai, who was lying on the ground, woke up with a scream.

Then, Brother Huang jumped up with a somersault and looked around within two seconds after standing still.

"Where are we?" Huang Donglai asked after taking a quick look.

"How should I know? I just woke up too." Balder replied.

This was of course the truth. Balde woke up only about half a minute earlier than Huang Donglai. When he woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar environment and his other companions were gone, so the first thing he did was to wake up the unconscious person next to him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Balde finished his reply, Huang Donglai on the side said "Fuck" in a rather panicked tone, and then crawled to the floor again.

Upon seeing this, Balder quickly lowered his body and moved closer. He looked around nervously and asked, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

"I realized that I stood up too quickly just now, which caused insufficient blood supply to the brain and made me dizzy, so I lay down again." Huang Donglai said with his eyes closed and rubbing his temples.

When Balde heard this, the apples of his face twitched twice and his fists clenched tighter.

But after a few seconds, he suppressed his hesitation and stood up again, as if nothing had happened, and said, "Do you remember how we got here?"

Huang Donglai lay there for a few seconds and felt better. This time he stood up slowly. "He must have been caught by that weird guy in the windbreaker. Eh? Oh, right... where's our 'bait'?"

"I don't know, maybe it's nearby, why don't we look for it?" Balde said.

"Okay." Huang Donglai was also confused about the situation in front of him, so it would be no harm to investigate it first.

Although there was no light in the organ room at this time, the large amount of blood-red moonlight shining through the arched windows was enough to illuminate most of the area here. The only remaining places that were not illuminated were the shadows at the bottom of some furniture and in the corners.

Huang Donglai and Balde searched those places but did not find any trace of Dumitru.

And when they looked out the window, the scenery below was basically blocked by the building itself and the cliffs, and the high up there was only the deep night sky dyed red by the blood moon. The only thing that was certain was... the room they were in at the moment should be located in a very large and complex castle.

"Hmm... I say..." During the search, Huang Donglai also thought more about the situation in front of him, so when he and Balde got together again, he put forward a speculation, "Could that guy have been taken away by someone to 'pay the bill' for the contract?"

As for the price of Dumitru's contract, which was "being captured by Mr. Florescu and given to vampires as a snack", everyone naturally knew. Even if Dumitru himself refused to tell the truth, Dan could share this information, so Balde understood what Huang Donglai meant by "settling the bill".

"It's possible..." Balder continued, "Assuming that the weird guy in the windbreaker is 'Florescu', then from his perspective, his first and only goal is to capture the contractor and report back. As for the two of us... we were dragged into this by ourselves, so he really doesn't need to care about us, and he has no obligation to send us back, so it's normal for him to leave us to fend for ourselves."

Huang Donglai thought for a moment and continued, "If that's the case... we should be thankful that guy isn't the type to kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise we might not wake up."

“Maybe not…” Balder said, “Maybe he thinks that if he leaves us here, we will die soon, and it will be more painful than dying in a coma… Or maybe, we are already dead, and this is hell, but we don’t know it.”

"What the hell!" Huang Donglai saw the other party making such absurd remarks with a serious face, and he immediately denied it loudly, "I don't even know whether he is dead or alive?"

"Oh?" Balder was puzzled when he saw that the other party was so confident. "Do you have any reliable method to judge?"

"Hmph..." Huang Donglai sneered and replied, "I have a stomachache now, I'm going to take a shit first..."

"Uh..." Balder was stunned when he heard this, "Tell me after you finish pulling it?"

"What else can I tell you? Isn't what I said itself the answer?" Huang Donglai looked at Balde with disdain and said, "Are you stupid? Do dead people still need to poop?"

"This..." Balder was speechless, because he had never thought about the question "Do people still need to shit after going to hell" before.

"It's better not to mention it, but now I really can't hold it anymore. I don't know what's going on outside this room...why don't I just do it here." On the other side, Huang Donglai had walked to a corner, muttering to himself, and began to unbutton his pants.

However, as he was squatting while undressing...

"Stop! You vulgar foreigner! What do you think you are doing?" A loud shout suddenly rang out in the room.

It was a woman's voice, and she sounded quite young. Of course, that was not the point. The point was that her voice was very loud and echoing, which scared Huang Donglai so much that he pulled up his pants and stood up again.

"Who? Who is there?" Huang Donglai asked immediately.

Balder was also shocked and took a fighting stance, but because his war hammer was no longer at hand, he could only pick up a copper candlestick on the table as a weapon.

"I have been here the whole time, but I just don't want to bother with you..." When the second sentence sounded, Huang Donglai and Balde realized that the voice came from the huge organ. "But now... your behavior forces me to stop you."

"Oh my god, the organ has become a spirit, right?" Huang Donglai muttered as he walked to the organ, "Or are you hiding inside the organ?"

"If you have time to ask these questions, you might as well leave quickly, because the toilet is quite far from here." the voice said again.

"Oh? Do you know where the toilet is?" Huang Donglai said.

"When you go out, turn left and walk to the end, where you will see a spiral staircase. Walk down two floors, then turn right and walk to the first corner. Check that there is a pomegranate-patterned pendant on the wall. Then walk toward the corridor where the pendant is located until you pass through a red iron door. Then turn right and walk to the fifth door, which is the toilet." The voice reported this information very quickly, and the tone did not sound made up.

But Huang Donglai still asked back, "How do I know you're not trying to trick me into a trap?"

"Then let me put it another way..." This time the voice sounded like it was about to laugh out of anger, "As long as you get out of my room right now, you can poop wherever you want from now on. But if you plan to come back here later, I suggest you don't poop in your pants."

"Hmm..." Huang Donglai groaned and thought for a few seconds.

Then a violent urge to defecate interrupted his thoughts.

"Okay! I believe it for now, you wait!" Huang Dong said, then turned and ran towards the door. When passing by Balde, he said to him, "Hey! What are you standing there for? Come on!"

When Balde heard this, he muttered in his heart: Why does Brother Huang need someone to accompany him to the toilet?

But he soon realized that in the current situation, acting separately was not the best strategy. After all, they could not be sure whether the voice in the room had any malicious intent. What if the other party wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain and take it apart?

Although Balder is not afraid of "sacrifice", that means dying in battle. If he encounters an obvious trap and deliberately goes for it, it would be subjectively equivalent to "suicide", and he would not do that.

"Hey wait! I'm here!" Thinking of this, Balde ran out with Huang Donglai.

The corridor outside the organ room was relatively low and had no windows, but there was a three-pronged candlestick installed every few steps on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and the candles on them were all lit, so the two people's movements were not affected by the darkness.

It is worth mentioning that the decoration inside the castle looks very exquisite. Just on the way from the organ room to the toilet, Huang Donglai and Bald clearly noticed that the surrounding wallpaper, carpets, furnishings, etc. had changed several styles, and the alternation and connection of these styles were also very coordinated, which made people feel rich without being chaotic.

You know, in that era, many royal castles in Europe could not reach this level; take the castle of Lord Comman, which Sun Huang and his friends had visited once before, as an example: except for the main hall and a very small number of spaces that the owner uses every day, it is basically like it has never been decorated - exposed stone bricks and wooden beams can be seen everywhere on the walls and the ground, and the decorations in the corridors are generally some armor and shields hanging on brackets. Don't even think about portraits, sculptures, and porcelain. Even the simplest candlesticks are limited, and many places are directly installed with torch racks... Even so, Comman is still considered a relatively wealthy lord in the surrounding area.

But the castle before my eyes was so luxurious that it felt unreal.

Even the toilet that Huang Donglai stepped into a few minutes later was dozens of square meters in size. The walls and the floor were decorated with marble mosaics. There was a long distance between the washing area and the toilet box. There was only one toilet box, which was specially equipped with a comfortable, adjustable wooden seat. There were also clothes hangers and small tables for personal belongings on both sides. It can be said that this place is very close to or even surpasses many modern toilets.

Balde was also very glad that the toilet was big enough so that he could stand in the distant washroom and wait while Huang Donglai solved the problem, without having to endure the smell at a close distance.

However, the scene while he was waiting, even though he had his back to Huang Dong, still made him feel a little uncomfortable...

Not long after, Huang Donglai had finished his work. When he came over to wash his hands, he asked, "Hey, Balde, this is a rare opportunity. Do you want to sit for a while?"

He was right to say that. People of this era really... might not even go to a toilet like this once in their entire lives.

"No...thank you." But after Balde twitched his mouth awkwardly a few times, he still declined.

Firstly, he was really not in a hurry, and secondly... Huang Donglai's operation of using the toilet to "be generous to others" always made him feel embarrassed if he accepted it.

"Okay then, let's go back and find that organ spirit?" Huang Donglai didn't take it seriously. Seeing that the other party didn't need it, he shook his freshly washed hands, wiped them dry on his clothes, and walked out.

But he never expected that it would be fine if he didn't open the door. As soon as he opened the toilet door... he found that the original corridor outside had changed its appearance. Instead, there was a row of wide, upward steps. Above the steps, there was a stone lion head about ten feet wide and with "five legs", which was spinning like a wheel and rapidly approaching the door.
