Rules Strange Story: My Family is Not Normal

The old mayor's words sounded like he was chatting with Zhou Bai about the customs of Christmas Eve in a very ordinary way.

But Zhou Bai knew clearly that what they were talking about might be a matter of life and death tonight.

Why did the old mayor know about the existence of Santa Claus?

Why did he tell Zhou Bai about this?

Zhou Bai didn't know about these things.

Especially if the old mayor also knew about the ten-year-old rule.

Then what he revealed made people even more suspicious.

Only one person can survive tonight.

Zhou Bai knew that as time passed, the things he had to face would only become more dangerous.

In the corner of the castle hall.

The phonograph was still playing records and was spinning continuously.

Zhou Bai supported the old mayor and came to the side of the phonograph.

First Christmas Eve Survival Rules, #4.

[The owner of the record store may tell you that there is no record of the song "Jingle Bells". But don't give up, please be sure to play this song on Christmas Eve. 】

In fact, Zhou Bai didn't fully trust the old mayor when he got the record.

In particular, he took the initiative to give this record to Zhou Bai, which aroused Zhou Bai's suspicion even more.

That's why he thought of this method of playing.

This song can be played on the gramophone without making a sound.

I just don't know, as the owner of the record store, what kind of expression would the old mayor have when he saw Zhou Bai's operation?

So, Zhou Bai looked down at the other party.

Try to get more information from the expression on the other person's face when he sees the phonograph.

However, after the old mayor saw the phonograph, a smile appeared on his face immediately.

"Silly boy.

You are still too young, have you never used this old machine before?

You see, you didn't even install the speakers. "

The old mayor didn't expose Zhou Bai, and even gave him a very reasonable reason for his behavior.

Zhou Bai didn't find any flaws in his behavior and expression.

Therefore, he could only smile and act as if he had suddenly realized.

"Blame me, I forgot about it when it was disassembled a few days ago.

Maybe it's because I have to prepare for tonight's party, so I'm a little busy and confused. "

After he finished speaking, he took down the record on the machine.

Then, by hand, the horn was reinstalled on top of the phonograph.

The old mayor stood aside and nodded in relief when he saw that Zhou Bai had finished installing the speakers.

Zhou Bai walked to his side, trying to help him back to the restaurant.

But the old mayor waved his hand to reject Zhou Bai's move.

"Do you still remember that when I gave you this record, you promised me a request?"

Of course Zhou Bai didn't forget.

"Remember.

You asked me to promise you that day, so that you could stand on the watchtower of the old castle on Christmas Eve and take a look at the scenery above."

The old mayor looked at Zhou Bai, then nodded.

"Yes. Can you take me up there?"

When Zhou Bai took other people to "visit" the castle just now, he didn't let them go up to the watchtower.

The old mayor didn't bring up this matter at the time, but waited until he was alone with Zhou Bai before saying so.

Then it is very possible that the old mayor does not want other people to enjoy the scenery outside the castle with him.

Zhou Bai had no way to refuse the old mayor.

Because this is something he promised a long time ago.

It's just that Zhou Bai was still in his heart, constantly reminding himself that he must be more careful.

After all, this Christmas Eve is not an ordinary festival for Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai said "Yes" to the old mayor.

Then he supported him and walked in the direction of the stone ladder.

Beside the stone ladder, Kevin's body was still motionless, lying on the ground.

Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Zhou Bai felt a little shocking.

He rolled his eyes.

But he found that when the old mayor passed by him, the expression on his face didn't change a bit.

Zhou Bai couldn't help but feel startled.

This is not like the reaction that an ordinary person should have when seeing a corpse.

Immediately, Zhou Bai became more wary of the old mayor.

The other party seemed to have sensed Zhou Bai's silence all the way.

While struggling to climb the stairs, he said to Zhou Bai.

"Do you know why I must go to the watchtower of the old castle to take a look at it on Christmas Eve?"

Zhou Bai whispered, "I don't know."

The old mayor looked up and glanced at the long stone stairs.

The skinny hand tremblingly held Zhou Bai tightly.

Support struggling to climb up.

"Then do you know that I resigned from the position of mayor ten years ago?"

Zhou Bai felt that this sentence contained a lot of information.

So he hurriedly shook his head again.

The old mayor may have been too emotional when he said this.

Suddenly, he coughed non-stop.

Zhou Bai patted him on the back with his hand.

But the other party didn't stop, and even coughed up blood.

The old mayor spread his increasingly pale hands.

Zhou Bai could clearly see the blood on his hands.

Zhou Bai wanted to support the old mayor, so he sat down first, but the other party waved at him.

"Time is running out.

I can't rest.

I must go up and take a good look at them again. "

Zhou Bai couldn't understand his behavior.

"There are no windows in the watchtower.

It's so cold outside.

With your physical condition, you may not be able to withstand it. "

But the old mayor couldn't listen to what Zhou Bai said.

"It's okay, I won't live tonight.

I already knew I was going to die tonight. "

Zhou Bai looked at him in shock.

he knows?

Does he know that only one person can live tonight?

Or do you know your physical condition, and you can't last tonight at all?

Zhou Bai still couldn't figure it out.

"What do you know?"

Zhou Bai asked him directly.

However, the old mayor had no intention of answering this question at all.

He looked up at the long stone staircase in front of him.

With trembling hands, even if Zhou Bai didn't help him, he insisted on crawling forward.

"There's no time left, I have to go and see them again."

Zhou Bai couldn't understand why the old mayor's physical condition suddenly deteriorated so quickly.

But the old man in front of him was already dying.

"do you know?

The people buried outside the castle all died when I was mayor.

I failed to protect the residents of Silent Town.

I am ashamed of them,

So I must take another look at them before I die. "

When the old mayor said these few words, Zhou Bai finally felt that he was showing his sincerity.

However, when Zhou Bai shook his hand again, he found that it had started to become cold.
