再度睁开眼睛，周围已经是黄昏了，朋星的手脚被牢牢的捆住，压根动不了。于是他开始观查四周，因为他知道，求救也没有用了。他尽力挣扎，将手伸进卫衣的口袋里，一阵摸索后，找到了一把小刀，用这把小刀成功将绳子割开。他活动了下手臂，又将脚上的绳子也割开。站起来开始寻找线索。

　　这座城堡有五层楼，还有一个地下室，每层楼均有三个出口，而朋星所待的房间，是位于五楼的1号卧室。全城堡没有一盏灯，导致这里黑洞洞的，让人心生恐惧。此外地下室挂了一把密码锁，打不开。当然，这些是朋星后面知道的。更令人想不通的是，为什么那个“二志桧总”为何才拿了朋星一把玩具枪，这把玩具枪也只是个响声特大的废物，原先也只是想赌赌看，能否用这个来转移敌人的注意力。现在这个倒成了朋星的隐患，令他特别苦恼。

　　朋星一路摸黑。地上净是红色的液体，现在他已经移动到了四楼的仓库。他缓缓地打开了门。眼前的一幕着实让他震惊了。

　　只见一位披头散发的女子。正在半空中飘着，她身着红色裙子，眼睛已经脱离了眼窝。正在脸上直勾勾的吊着。她的舌头耷拉在她身体的1/6。看起来恐怖如斯，朋星也掏出了小刀开始警戒。那鬼好像也发现了朋星的踪迹，朝他咧嘴一笑。那嘴角上扬的程度根本就不是人类所能达到的。突然，那鬼朝朋星扑去。朋星侧身闪躲。一把将刀插入了那鬼的脖子，那鬼无动于衷。这时，他突然好像发现了什么，等那鬼站起来的时候，朋星立刻朝他脚底下刺去。

　　“刺—嘣”一声机器损坏的声音传了过来。朋星缓缓抬起刀尖。只见一个微型投影仪出现刀尖上。他收起了小刀，是从旁边的箱子里寻找可用的物品。在里面只有一把左轮和25发子弹。还有一个泛黄的日记本。上面用红笔写了几个大字:来往者名单及记录。朋星将日记内容领略了一遍。虽然里面都是英文。但朋星还是能读下去的。看完整篇日记后，朋星倒吸了一口凉气。日记内容如下:

　　Tuesday, October 24, 2023 Cloudy Name: Xu Zheng(2023年 10月24日 多云 名字:徐徰)

　　This is the first customer we've ever had. We'll take good care of him. First we knocked him unconscious and threw him into his bedroom on the fifth floor. Because the boss wants to see people desperate, so he makes us do it. The man was flustered at first, then made his move. He moved to the warehouse on the fourth floor, apparently looking for some usable equipment. But he doesn't know it. It's a surprise. It was the ghost we had made up on the tiny monitor, and the surveillance footage showed that the man saw the ghost and screamed, covered his heart behind it, and his face was in pain. Then he screamed again, and then he lay on the ground, lifeless. We cut his kidney like the boss asked us to. I don't know what the boss was up to. Honestly.(这是我们有生以来的第一位顾客。我们会好好招待他的。我们先将他敲晕，丢进了五楼的卧室里。因为老板想看到他人绝望的样子，所以让我们这么做。那人最先很慌乱，后面开始采取行动。他移动到了四楼的仓库，很显然他想要找点可用的装备。可他不知道，里面有惊喜。就是我们剩下的用微型显示器虚构出来的鬼，监控画面显示，那人看到了那只鬼吓得惨叫了一声，后面捂住心脏，表情很痛苦。然后他又惨叫了一声，接着又躺在地上，没有了生命体征。我们按老板要求割下了他的肾，不知道老板要干什么，真是的。)

　　Thursday November 2, 2023 Fine Name: Unknown(2023年11月2日 星期四 晴 名字:未知)

　　The boss said today's task is very important. If it works, we can double the bonus. He didn't say the man's name, just gave us his phone number. And just let us trick him in and get rid of him. This time the organ is the heart. We had no choice but to lure him here. And we got rid of it in the basement, and we cut out his heart, and we gave it to the boss, and the boss was very happy. She smiled in an unusual way. And he gave each of us double what we used to get, except in the back, the boss locked the basement door and put a combination lock on it. They held a general meeting and said that they must not let anyone open it, or they will be hanged. The more I thought about it, the weirder I became, wondering if one day I could get that combination lock off. Find out what's in the basement.(老板说今天这个任务非常重要。如果说办成了，可以给我们双倍奖金，他没说这个人的名字，只给了我们他的电话号码。并且也只让我们骗来并且除掉他就可以。这次要挖的器官是心脏。没办法，我们只好把他骗来。并且在地下室把它除掉，我们挖出了他的心脏，如期给了老板，老板非常开心。露出了往日不常见的笑容。他也给了我们每个人往日是两倍的奖金，只不过到了后面，老板把那地下室的大门给锁了还并挂上了一把密码锁。并开大会表示绝不能让任何人打开，否则直接进行绞刑。我越想越奇怪，想着哪天能把那个密码锁给弄开。看看地下室里究竟是什么。)

　　Monday January 1, 2024 Fine Name: Ryder Wall(2024年1月1日 星期一 晴 名字:莱德·沃尔)

　　Today is New Year's Day in China, but we still have to work. The man we're going to kill today is a member of the Metropolitan police a man named Ryder Vole, a very watchful fellow. Never left the house without a handgun. So trying to fool him was like a million dollars. But somehow our luck has been so good. It happened to be the time that Officer Ryder was about to drink, so we easily tricked him and gave him a dose of poison, but not enough to kill him, but the poison kicked in an hour later, so we first tested the performance of Officer Ryder. Before deciding whether or not to remove his organs, later tests showed that this officer Ryder had a brilliant brain. So the boss asked us to cut out his brain, and we were equally successful. The boss is in a bad mood today. Although our task was successfully completed, we still scolded us, and then said that in three days you would be visited by death, we regarded it as a breeze, and did not pay attention to it at all.(今天是中国的元旦，但我们还是要工作。今天我们要刺杀的是伦敦警方的人那个人叫莱德·沃尔，是个很警惕的家伙。出门的时候一把手枪不离身。所以想骗到他简直如登天一般。但不知道怎的，我们的运气这么好。竟然刚好碰到莱德警官要喝酒的时间，于是我们轻松的骗到了他，并给他灌下了一定剂量的毒药，可还没到能致死的地步，但这毒药是一小时后发作，于是我们先测试了一下这个莱德警官的性能。再决定要不要挖掉他的器官，后面的测试表明，这个莱德警官的大脑非常的聪明。于是老板让我们挖掉他的大脑，我们也同样成功了。老板今天心情不好。虽然我们的任务圆满完成了，但是还是把我们大骂了一顿，然后说三天后你会遭到死神的眷顾，我们当做耳边风，压根儿不放在心上。)

　　3, 20580? Is it fine? Yin Name: John Lin??(20580年 3？ 晴？ 阴 名字:约翰·林？？)

　　I want... Dead... This is an article... A suicide note. Here I can only... Tell you what... The code for the basement... Right... 252... 3. Meanwhile, there's a lot of scary stuff in the basement... All I can tell you is... That's it. The rest...(我要…死了…这是一篇…遗书。在这里我只能…告诉你…地下室的密码…是…252…3，同时，地下室有非常多很可怕的东西…我只能告诉你…这些了，剩下的…)

　　日记到这里就中止了，最后那页。那里有一滩鲜血喷溅过的痕迹，只能说明一点。那个叫约翰·林的家伙，他应该是在偷到密码后。被老板发现，虽然没进行绞刑，但最后还是失去了生命，朋星边为写日记的那个人感到悲哀。边拾起那把手枪，那把手枪上沾满了鲜血，上面写着:John Lin，朋星想:“这应该就是John Lin留给那些被骗到这里的人的最后的武器了吧。”接着他莫名感觉到，一股阴影正朝他袭来。
