Chapter 125: experiment with candles

  Chapter 125 Experiment with a candle

   Zhou Bai bought candles that were long or short, thick or thin, and in various colors.

  Booz put all these candles on the candlestick, and took them outside the house one by one.

  So, outside the gate of the castle, there was a whole row of candles.

  Zhou Bai numbered the candles and lit them one by one.

  The originally dark outside of the house was illuminated.

  Zhou Bai stood by the door, watching the candle flames swaying in the wind for a while.

   Then he closed the iron door and walked into the house.

  The floor of the hall was also lined with candles of various colors by Boots at this time.

   And all lit.

   Zhou Bai took out a notebook, and then sat next to these candles.

  Although Boots did everything according to Zhou Bai's instructions.

   But he was still very puzzled, so he asked.

   "Sir, what are you doing?"

   Zhou Bai waved at him.

   "Go and do your work. I'll just watch it myself."

   After hearing this, Buzz still stood behind Zhou Bai.

   Zhou Bai ignored him, and only focused on the matter in front of him.

  He took out his phone and looked at the time on it.

   Recorded the time in the notebook.

  Then marked the candles in front of them with numbers in turn.

   Then, sitting next to the candles, quietly waiting for the candles to burn slowly.

   Time passed by every minute.

  Booz didn't know when, but he was no longer standing behind Zhou Bai.

   Zhou Bai ignored him and continued to look at the candle in front of him.

   After about 10 minutes, the smallest and thinnest white candle has burned out.

   Zhou Bai looked at the time on the phone, and then recorded the value in the notebook in his hand.

   As time goes by, other candles also burn out one after another.

  Zhou Bai also checked the time, and recorded the burning time of these candles in his notebook.

  At this time, there was gradually a sound of wind outside the house.

  The wind outside the house blew on the window, making a "woo-woo" sound.

   Zhou Bai glanced at the window, but didn't get up, but continued to look at the candle in front of him.

   At this time, the time on the phone shows that it is now 11 o'clock in the evening.

  The sound of the wind outside the window became louder and louder, and there were even loud "bang bang bang" noises.

  Booze stepped on the stairs, "thump, thump," and ran upstairs to close the window.

   Zhou Bai looked at the candle in front of him.

   I saw those candles, almost all burned out.

   There are a few thick candles left, but they are still a long way from burning out.

  Booz finished closing the window at this time, and stood behind Zhou Bai again.

   Zhou Bai stood up and said to him.

   "Here you are, looking at these candles."

   Then, I went to the toilet.

  In the interior of this ancient castle, there is only one toilet that can still be used normally.

   Located on the second floor.

  Zhou Bai stood in the toilet, looked at the structure inside the toilet, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

  The second rule of the castle survival rules.

  【After three o’clock in the middle of the night and before the sun rises, please don’t go to the toilet. 】

  So, after three o'clock in the middle of the night, what horrible things will happen in this toilet?

   Or, during this period of time, there are invisible existences that need to use this toilet?

  With these questions in mind, Zhou Bai washed his hands and walked out.

  He walked to the hall, sat down, and continued to look at the burning candles in front of him in a daze.

  Booz stood behind Zhou Bai for a while, then said.

   "Sir, it's getting late. Why don't you go to bed. I'll help you record the time."

   Zhou Bai looked at the time on his phone.

   At this time, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

   Zhou Bai looked at the candle in front of his eyes.

   I saw the longest one, and it hasn't burned a third of it yet.

   It is estimated that it will burn until dawn, so there is absolutely no problem.

  Therefore, Zhou Bai nodded to him, and then walked up to the second floor.

  He was walking in the corridor on the second floor, and from a distance, he saw his door, which had been locked at some point.

   Zhou Bai remembered that when he went out, he didn't close the door.

  However, Boots just came up to close the window, or he may have closed the door.

  Zhou Bai kept in mind the rules on the note.

  Article 6 of the Castle Survival Rules.

  【Before going to bed at night, please knock on the door three times. You can only enter when you hear no movement in the room. 】

  So, Zhou Bai stood at the door, facing the door, and knocked lightly three times.

   "Knock, knock, knock."

  After knocking, Zhou Bai stood outside the door, quietly listening to the movement inside the house.

  Suddenly, Zhou Bai heard a "boom" coming from the house.

  The sound seemed to be that there was an object colliding strongly.

   Zhou Bai's hand that was originally on the doorknob was immediately withdrawn.

  Who's in there?

  Booz is downstairs, and in this old castle, besides the two of them, who else is there?

   Zhou Bai only felt that his heart had been lifted up.

  He stood outside the door. After a long time, he didn't knock on the door three more times until he confirmed that there was no more noise in the house.

   "Knock, knock, knock."

   This time, there was no movement in the room.

   Zhou Bai took a deep breath, and then slowly opened the door.

  As soon as the door opened, there was a gust of wind, blowing on Zhou Bai's face.

   The room was empty, except for one window that was opened.

   Zhou Bai cautiously looked around, and slowly closed the door behind him.

   He clenched the long knife in his hand, and then walked towards the window.

  Outside the window, there is still a whole piece of weeds, and there are graves buried in the weeds, one after another.

  The bald head sawing the trees has also disappeared now.

   Looking around, there was not a single living creature appearing in front of Zhou Bai.

   Zhou Bai closed the window, then gripped the knife in his hand, and checked all the corners of the room.

  After confirming that there was no one else in the room except him, he felt relieved a little.

   Zhou Bai changed into his pajamas, then lay down on the bed.

  He set an alarm clock on his phone, then turned off the lights and fell asleep.

  After watching all of this, the audience had to admire Zhou Bai's strong psychological quality.

  If it were replaced by someone else, they might be too scared to sleep now.

  In the darkness, Zhou Bai's knife was placed beside the bed, and then he slowly fell asleep.

   Many viewers in the live broadcast room also turned off their screens and began to lie down on their beds to sleep.

  There are only a few night owls, and they open the live broadcast room boringly, and then do other things.

  The night is getting darker.

   In the live broadcast screen, it also became very quiet.

   Just when everyone thought that this quietness would last until the daytime.

   Zhou Bai's alarm clock rang suddenly.

   Those viewers who turned on the live broadcast were startled by the sudden sound.

   They quickly looked at the live broadcast at this time.

  The clock at the bottom of the computer screen shows the current time, which is 2:55 midnight.
