Chapter 544 The Man in the Dream
“Oh shit?” Huang Donglai listened for a few seconds and then asked Roman in a low voice, “Is this common?”
“Of course it’s not common.” Roman shook his head. “This is the first time I’ve heard this kind of music. Is this the sound of an organ?”
As soon as this was said, Balder immediately asked in doubt: "Oh? You have been here for so long, but you have never been to the organ room?"
“Indeed not,” Roman replied, “But judging from what you said… you two should have been there?”
"When we were brought to this castle not long ago, we woke up in an organ room," Balder replied.
“Oh…” Roman seemed to understand something and continued, “Then let me guess… before you met me, you must have used that kind of ‘door that changes location every time it is opened’, right?”
"That's right." Huang Donglai took over the conversation, "How did you determine this?"
Roman shrugged and explained, "It's simple. I've explored a lot of areas 'directly connected' to this chapel, but at least there's no organ room within the range I've explored... Considering that you haven't been in this castle for a long time and the place where you met me is not far from this chapel, you probably used the 'door'."
Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention...Here Roman is saying "I" have explored a lot and very far, not "we".
Why not "us"?
Because when Roman and his companions were with him, when he could still say "we", he and his companions could explore even the "areas not directly connected to the chapel", that is, the places where those "doors" were randomly connected.
As long as someone is assigned to guard the door and keep the "door" open, people who go in to explore can come back, and they don't have to worry about not being able to return to the chapel.
Even if there is another "door" where the "door" is connected, it’s the same, just leave one more person.
Of course, as the number of people decreased, the depth of this kind of exploration became increasingly limited... until finally, when Roman was the only one left, he could only explore those places that were directly connected to the chapel. He could not enter any "doors that would connect to unknown locations after being switched."
On this basis, he actually said that he had "explored a lot and a lot", which means that he may have been here longer than he realized... and much longer.
"I see..." Huang Donglai took over the other party's conversation, thinking, "Does the sound of the organ now mean that... someone has opened a 'door' nearby that can connect to the organ room?"
"Then we'll have to go and see for sure," Roman continued.
At this point, the three of them exchanged glances, then tacitly walked out of the chapel together, following the sound of music.
They trotted for a while and soon found an open door in the middle of a corridor.
Huang Donglai was the first to run to the door. He looked inside and found that it was indeed the organ room from before. He could see a woman in a red dress sitting in front of the organ and playing it from the door.
"What the hell?" Huang Donglai blurted out, "It bounced? Is it a ghost or a monster?"
"What? Brother Huang, why don't I understand what you are saying?" Roman, who followed closely behind, asked curiously after hearing Huang Donglai's words.
"Oh, or maybe you Western Taoists are too rough in academics. Let me tell you..." Huang Donglai began to show off his half-bottled vinegar, "According to the theory of our Central Plains Taoism, there is a saying that... non-human living things become monsters, non-human dead things become monsters, living people become demons, and dead people become ghosts... So if this thing in front of me is the body of the organ, then it is a 'monster'. If she and the organ are not the same thing, then it may be a 'ghost' who came to play the organ."
“Uh…” Roman was stunned by what he said, “Then… According to your Central Plains theory, how should we deal with this situation?”
"Well..." Huang Donglai said here, and suddenly realized that he was outside Shenzhou and could not use too many Taoist methods. However, he had been bragging for a long time, but when it came to his hands, he spread his hands, which was really embarrassing.
"Alas... it's a pity that my good brother Sun Yixie is not here..." So, when embarrassment was inevitable, Huang Donglai put on a pretentious face and tried to drag someone who was not even present into the water, "If he were here, as soon as he saw that it was a female fairy, no matter if it was a demon or a ghost, he would pounce on it and pull out a thick and long one with just a lift of his leg..."
Just as he mentioned the word "Trident", the sound of the organ in the room suddenly stopped, and then the woman in the red dress who was playing the organ said, "What are you mumbling about at the door? Now that you are here, come in and say what you want to say."
The voice of this woman was the same as the voice of the "organ" that Huang Donglai had talked to before, so Huang Donglai guessed that she was a "weirdo".
"It's fine for us to stand here, why don't you come out and talk?" Huang Donglai responded quickly, and his tone was a bit like a challenge in front of the Liusha River.
"Ah..." Unexpectedly, the other party sighed and then stood up after hearing what he said. "What an uneducated fellow! You let a lady come out and stand to talk to you?"
As she spoke, she turned around and slowly walked towards the door.
Before she came closer, Huang Donglai was already shocked, because at this time, Huang Brother saw clearly in the bloody moonlight that the woman in front of him looked 80% similar to Lady Venusa.
This matter... is very strange.
If the "organ monster" in front of him looked exactly like Madam Venusa, Huang Donglai might guess that she deliberately turned into Madam Venusa, or he might guess that this was Madam Venusa herself...
But they are "80% similar", which means that you can see they look "similar", but you can also clearly see that they are not the same person. This situation actually excludes the above two assumptions and leads to the conclusion that "she was born to look like this".
“Just stand there.” On the other hand, Roman didn’t know any Lady Venusa, so at this moment he was completely on alert against the monster. When he saw the other party approaching, he immediately drew a long sword, took a fighting stance, and warned with words, “If you come any closer, I can’t guarantee your safety... Madam.”
Roman emphasized the last "Madam", and the implication was roughly "Fairy, don't think that your disguise is really useful. While I can still talk to you nicely, you'd better not refuse my toast and drink a forfeit."
"Huh?" The woman in the red dress did stop walking when she saw this, but she looked even angrier. "One moment you want me to come out and talk, and the next moment you want me to stop. Can you guys discuss this among yourselves first?"
"Just stand there, this distance is just right for talking." Huang Donglai said.
"Heh..." The woman in the red dress sneered, then stood with her hands on her hips in a very impatient manner, and said, "Okay, let's put it this way."
"If you have anything to say, just say it first." Huang Donglai said again, "Didn't you lead us here with your piano music?"
"Ah?" The red-dressed woman looked even more unhappy. "I'm trying to help you out of kindness, but you're acting like I'm asking you to do something? That's ridiculous. Forget it... just close the door and leave."
After she said that, she turned away and went back to the piano bench.
"Hey? Wait a minute!" Huang Donglai saw the other party's reaction and felt that they might be too cautious, so he quickly chased after them a few steps and stepped into the organ room. Anyway, there were two people guarding the door behind him, so he was not afraid of being locked in, "I haven't asked you yet..."
"Before asking the lady's name, why don't you introduce yourself first..." The woman in the red skirt stopped again, looked sideways, and said in a sarcastic tone, "...this uneducated gentleman who tried to relieve himself in my house?"
Huang Donglai was not incapable of arguing with this, but it would not do him any good, so he pretended not to hear the sarcasm and replied with a curled lip: "Huang Donglai."
In this environment, there was obviously no point in him giving a false name.
The woman in the red dress did not say much about his Central Plains name. After all, she did not have any special reaction to Huang Donglai's Central Plains appearance from the beginning, so she would not care about the name. "The two people at the door...what about you?"
Roman and Balde, who were still guarding the door, looked at each other. Seeing that the "organ monster" was quite polite, they introduced themselves one after another.
After they all introduced themselves, the woman in the red dress said, "Yes, gentlemen." She paused, "My name is Maria, the eldest daughter of the Raimondo family, Maria Agnes Raimondo."
As soon as the words fell, something flashed through Huang Donglai's mind, and it didn't take him too long to recall that Coman seemed to have mentioned that his wife was from this "Raimundo family"...
