"Calm down, don't be anxious, and speak slowly."
Xia Qi listened to the confused girl and comforted her in a gentle voice.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then she tried to calm herself down and narrate the whole story.
This morning, she and her sister went to the East Hall locker room to change clothes. When they came out, a female member of the red team came down from upstairs holding a bunch of jewelry and told them that there were a lot of jewelry in the dressing room upstairs that they could use to dress themselves up.
My sister has always been a fan of Chinese clothes. When she heard the woman from the red party say that there were jewelry upstairs, she went upstairs impatiently and took the diamond necklace from the dressing table.
As a result, as soon as the two went downstairs, the sister was surrounded by the red team members and the housekeeper, and was accused of being a thief.
Seeing the housekeeper present, the younger sister was worried that her sister would end up like the fat man, so she hurried out to find the blue team members to find a solution.
"I, I asked my sister not to take the necklace, but she said it was too beautiful. She didn't listen to me." The younger sister bit her lip and cried, "I shouldn't have listened to her!"
Xia Qi thought for a moment and said, "The Reds want to attack us. Even if you don't fall for it, they will find other opportunities."
After the red team lost two members, they finally couldn't sit still and attacked the blue team.
Through this incident, Xia Qi deduced a rule of the game from the behavior of the red team.
As long as all the players on one side die, the remaining side will gain a huge advantage, which may mean winning the game by default, or it may be easier to find clues...
Xia Qi guessed that in the days to come, the red team would spare no effort to attack the blue team members.
Then, the situation of the blue team members will become very dangerous. Not only must they be careful about various death tasks in the game, but they must also beware of the calculations of the red team old man.
However, Xia Qi also found a piece of information that was beneficial to them. Judging from the fact that the Red Team used NPCs to harm people, it seemed that players in the game could not directly kill other players...
Therefore, they only need to stay vigilant against the red team at all times to avoid the traps set by the other side.
"Will you help me?" My sister kept crying, her eyes swollen like walnuts.
"I will try my best to help you. Let's go over and take a look first." Xia Qi said.
Through the incident of his sister taking away the diamond necklace, Xia Qi discovered that Hong Fang had exposed a crucial clue.
Even if it was just for clues, he had to go and take a look.
"Brother Xia, thank you!" the younger sister said gratefully. She didn't ask Xia Qizhen to help in any way, she just hoped that one more person could think of a solution.
Xia Qi and the old man followed his sister to the door of the East Hall.
The yellow-haired man was smoking at the door. When he saw Xia Qi and the others coming, he slowly blew a smoke ring at the three of them, deliberately blocked the door, and said to his sister, "Oh, you are really good at sucking up to people. You found two more helpers?"
"Get out of the way!" The sister rushed to him and reached out to push his shoulder.
In real life, the yellow-haired man is a small-time gangster nicknamed Da Shan Ji. He always shouts slogans like "Be loyal to your brothers" all day long. But today, when the two sisters got into trouble, the first thing Da Shan Ji did was to cut off ties with them.
Big Shanji grabbed his sister's wrist, threw her aside, and said angrily: "I'm warning you, I don't care if you want to save people, but you are not allowed to affect the progress of the entire blue team, understand?"
Dashanqi has a scar on his cheekbone, which makes him look particularly ferocious when he is angry.
"You..." The younger sister gritted her teeth in anger. Yesterday, Da Shanji said that he was the captain of the blue team and would protect everyone, but today he changed his face.
"If you make a mistake you have to admit it, and if you are beaten you have to stand at attention. Your sister stole something, so she deserves the punishment." Seeing his sister crying because of being bullied, Da Shanji said proudly.
Suddenly, Xia Qi took a step forward, stretched out his hand to push the weak shoulder of Da Shanji, and said coldly: "Don't block the way, get out of the way."
Xia Qi was eager to go in and listen to the confrontation between Hong Fang and his sister, and had no time to watch the hooligans bullying a high school girl.
"Hmph!" Big Pheasant looked at Xia Qi hatefully.
Although Da Shan Ji had been unhappy with the arrogant Xia Qi for a long time, he really didn't dare to offend him because Xia Qi was half a head taller than him and looked both agile and had smooth muscle lines.
"Hmph, I won't bother with you." The big pheasant has always been flexible and moved away slowly.
Looking at the big mountain chicken's weak performance, Xia Qi showed contempt.
This kind of person is only capable of bullying the weak and will immediately become cowardly when he meets a strong person. If beating teammates would not affect internal unity, he really wanted to punch Da Shan Ji.
After brushing past Da Shanji's shoulder, Xia Qi came to the East Hall. At this time, his sister was arguing fiercely with Hong Fang.
"I really didn't know that this diamond necklace couldn't be used!" The elder sister explained while wiping away tears, "I thought it was just like the clothes in the dressing room. I could use it to dress myself up as long as I liked it."
Until now, my sister still doesn't think she did anything wrong.
She just took the necklace without knowing its owner, so how could she become a thief
The red team member immediately retorted: "Butler, she is just greedy for wealth and wants to take the lady's diamond necklace for herself."
Hearing the word "Madam", Xia Qi paused.
lady
It seems that the 10% plot progress controlled by the Red Team should be related to this "Madam".
After being rebuked by the red team members, the elder sister raised her shaking hands, pointed at the red team girl next to Cha Gong, and shouted: "The reason why I entered that room is because you lied to me this morning and said that the room was a dressing room!"
The red lady pretended to be surprised and said, "What are you talking about? I didn't even see you this morning."
Unexpectedly, the red side was so shameless that the elder sister was so angry that she fell backwards: "You... you did it on purpose!"
"Now that things have come to this, butler, please make a decision." Cha Gong smiled and said respectfully to the butler.
After watching the fight between the players, the butler showed a satisfied smile, handed the diamond necklace in his hand to the maid, and said to the sister: "Dear lady, don't worry, our masters are nobles with high moral character, and will not lynch you at will. Please go to the corner tower and wait. When the police come tomorrow, they will take over this matter."
When mentioning "Sir", the butler looked in Xia Qi's direction intentionally or unintentionally.
Xia Qi frowned. Did the man who danced with him last night also know about this
Thinking of the "Madam" that the red team just mentioned, Xia Qi wondered, what is the relationship between a man and a "Madam"
“Madam”… could it be the man’s wife
"What is the corner tower?" the younger sister asked.
The butler blinked and said, "Please rest assured, ma'am, the corner tower has all kinds of furniture, but it will be a little dark at night, so you need to be extra careful."
When the red team members heard the butler emphasize the word "night", they understood what he meant and some even couldn't help laughing.
After getting the outcome the Red team wanted, Cha Gong praised the butler: "Butler, your judgment is very fair."
"No, this is what the Lord meant. The Lord is the most fair noble." The butler said modestly, but he couldn't stop smiling, and he was obviously very satisfied with Cha Gong's flattery.
The younger sister tightly grasped Xia Qi's sleeve and asked tremblingly: "Does the housekeeper mean... that my sister will be in danger tonight?"
Or even... die like the fat guy
"Very likely." Xia Qi frowned.
Although the sister was wrong, the punishment of death was too severe for a mentally immature girl.
The housekeeper ordered someone to carry my sister away. When they passed by the red team members, the red team girl suddenly came out, leaned over and whispered a few words in my sister's ear, and then patted her on the shoulder.
After listening to the red lady's advice, the elder sister yelled angrily: "You, you evildoer, you still want to harm me!"
The red lady smiled and waved her hands, saying, "I told you the method with good intentions, but you didn't appreciate it and blamed me. You are really a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing the kindness of a good person."
My sister cursed the red lady loudly and was then dragged out by the male servants.
The younger sister panicked and said, "I want to go to the corner tower to see my sister. Will you come with me?"
"There's still time before nightfall, your sister will be fine for now." Xia Qi said, "Please take me to the room where the jewelry is stored."
"Brother Xia, what are you doing there?" my sister asked in surprise.
Shouldn't they do their best to rescue their sister now?!
"There may be clues in the room, little girl." The old man coaxed her. He just wanted to get the clues as soon as possible.
Xia Qi said calmly: "Only if we have more clues can we know ourselves and the enemy. Even if we can't save your sister, we can save your life, mine and everyone else's in the future."
This room was exposed by the Red Team, and it must contain important clues about the castle.
There is no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Facing the repeated attacks from the Red Team, if the Blue Team wants to win the game, it must take the initiative to dig out clues and advance the game progress.
"Okay, I'll take you there." The younger sister understood what Xia Qi meant. She gritted her teeth and decided to put her sister aside first.
After the three of them left, Cha Gong led everyone out of the East Hall and happened to see a familiar figure flash by at the stairs. He looked closely and found that it was Xia Qi again.
"Why did he change his clothes again?" The red team members obviously also saw Xia Qi and booed.
The pure white dress was worn by Xia Qi, outlining his slender waist and making the butterfly bones on his back look particularly graceful. What was even more eye-catching was the snow-white skin behind his neck, which made the pearl decorations on his back pale in comparison.
With a "clang" sound, Cha Gong's leg hit the corner of the cabinet. He stared at Xia Qi's back in a daze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a long time, Cha Gong finally came to his senses from Xia Qi's beauty... Where did Xia Qi get this high-end item
Cha Gong instructed the red lady, "Go to the women's dressing room and see if there are any other clothes made of this material."
Compared to the clothes worn by other people, the silk material Xia Qi was wearing today was a little too good.
According to his understanding of Xia Qi, Xia Qi is introverted and lives a simple life. He would never take the initiative to wear such high-profile clothes.
"The young master is sick. Didn't you just ask me to take care of him?" The woman from the red party said dissatisfiedly. She was very tired after finishing her work today and just wanted to go back and rest.
Cha Gong gave her a cold look and said, "You switch shifts with them yourself."
Xia Qi and the other two came to the third-floor corridor of the East Hall.
Except for the lack of hanging oil paintings, the decoration of the corridor on the third floor is exactly the same as the corridor outside the women's locker room. No wonder the elder sister and the younger sister mistakenly thought that this was a "dressing room" for guests to use.
Pushing open the door, Xia Qi felt that this should be a women's bedroom.
The layout and furnishings in the room were very similar to his room, and there was also a landscape terrace outside the glass painted door. The only difference from his room was that this room had a dressing table and a large round mirror. The dressing table was filled with shelves of various sizes and beautiful jewelry.
"This is the box where the diamond necklace was originally stored." My sister said, pointing to a large open box on the dressing table.
Xia Qi carefully inspected the entire dressing table and found an open black velvet box in the corner. He pointed at the box and asked, "What was originally in it?"
"I don't know." The younger sister shook her head. "I didn't open the box, and I don't remember whether my sister opened it."
Xia Qi picked up the small black velvet box and examined it. He found a concave area inside the box. “There used to be a ring here.”
It’s a pity that I don’t know who took it. Maybe the ring didn’t exist in the first place.
Xia Qi shook his head, put the small black box down, and began to check the room again.
There were several books on the small corner cabinet beside the bed. Xia Qi picked up a book and found it was a sheet of music.
In order to allow players to accurately understand the content of the world view, every time Xia Qi turns the page, the system will automatically translate for him.
This music book contains many minuet pieces. Xia Qi thought of the music from last night's dance party. His pupils shrank slightly and he quickly turned the pages one by one.
Suite No. 1, Dances and Marches, Minuet in G major, Brandenburg Concerto… Will-O’-the-Wisp Minuet.
When seeing the title of the last chapter, Xia Qi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "Willow Minuet?!"
Xia Qi remembered that the song she danced to with the man last night was "Ghost-Fire Minuet"!
Xia Qi took a deep breath and continued turning the page.
On the yellowed paper, there were lines of beautiful handwriting written with a feather pen.
"Fair Margaret fell asleep,
The devil broke into her room..."
