"You are the servants who come here to work." The hostess said in a flat voice, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in quickly."
After all, the hostess turned around.
Everyone looked at each other and walked into the villa in twos and threes.
When everyone entered the villa, Li Hao (the gardener) who was walking at the end closed the door casually. Seeing this, Liu Kui (the driver) who was walking in front of him cursed secretly, but finally did not dare to open the door again.
After entering the villa, everyone lined up and stood neatly in front of the hostess.
The hostess stretched out her fingers and counted, and found that none of the eight people was missing, so she nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, exactly eight people. For the next seven days, you must work hard. There is one thing you need to remember, Except for the working place, don't wander around the villa, especially the cellar."
"Before you, I hired a lot of servants, but they couldn't even do the most basic work, and they were petty, rummaging, and messed up our family's life. So, I fired them early , According to the contract, I will not pay a single penny to those who are fired!" Speaking of this, the hostess looked very serious.
The hostess's words are full of meaning, but everyone is a game player, if I knew there must be something wrong with this villa, it would be hell if there is no problem. So everyone was not intimidated by the hostess's words, and they all held their breaths to listen to her continue to lecture.
"The corridor on the first floor is the servant's room. You allocate the room yourself, and you can go there to put your things now. Remember, don't squeeze me into a room. You must have a bed for each person, otherwise those who don't know will think we are The family is harsh on the servants—by the way, housekeeper, you stay here."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Bai Yan, and Bai Yan waved his hand to signal them to go first, while he continued to stand in the hall, listening to the hostess' orders alone.
"Housekeeper, let me explain to you what I need to do in the past few days. You can tell them later and ask them to do as I ordered."
"Yes, madam." Bai Yan replied.
"My husband and I live like this. Every day at 7:00 am, 12:00 noon, and 6:00 pm are meal times. The chef needs to prepare meals for three people in advance and put them on the table. My eldest son is not feeling well. , can’t leave the room to eat with us, so he needs a maid to bring him three meals a day, and you will call the maid for me later, and I will tell her in person.”
"OK."
"Also, the cleaning woman is responsible for cleaning the villa. She cleans the windows, cleans the room, and does the laundry. If she can't do it alone, she can ask the maid to help. I don't need the maid to follow me all the time. Understand?"
"I see. Is there anything else, ma'am?" Bai Yan wrote down all the mistress's words, while observing the mistress' expression calmly. However, the hostess behaved normally, except for being a bit mean, there was nothing wrong at all.
"Yes, there is also the driver, let him be on call at any time, get the car ready, the husband may go out at any time. Tomorrow morning, the husband will go out, and then you and the bodyguard will go with the husband to protect his safety. Usually at home, the bodyguard It can be easier, and you don’t have to follow your husband all the time.” The hostess thought for a while, and then said: “In addition, you ask the gardener to take care of the roses in the garden. My youngest son likes the flowers in the garden very much, so he must take good care of them.”
"Ma'am, you haven't arranged a tutor yet, what does she need to do?" Bai Yan mentioned An Qing in a timely manner.
"By the way, I forgot about her! That female governess... My son will take a break after eating at noon every day, and ask her to go to my son's room for class at one o'clock in the afternoon every afternoon, until five o'clock, a total of four hours .My youngest son is not in good health. I don’t ask him to make progress. I let him learn what he wants, as long as he is happy. When the time comes, let the tutor listen to my son. He can learn whatever he wants and let the tutor study. Just listen."
After explaining a series of tasks, the hostess finally concluded: "In short, work hard, and I will not give you any less money. You came too late today, so you don't need to prepare breakfast. In addition, The tools needed for work can be found in the utility room next to the servant’s room, that’s all, you go to pass the message first. After explaining the work, you can go to the study on the third floor to see the husband.”
Bai Yan reviewed the hostess' request in his mind, put his right hand on his chest, bowed and left.
According to the place pointed by the hostess, he found the servant's room.
Just as he said politely before, everyone really didn't wait for him. Before he came, the room was negotiated.
Among them, three girls live together. As a veteran player of the third round, Lu Tianyi shared a room with Zhu Fugui. The remaining three, Bai Yan, Liu Kui, and Li Hao, lived in one room, and there was no lack of bedding in the room, so they could live in it immediately after entering.
When Bai Yan came over, everyone was still discussing something. Seeing Bai Yan came back, Lu Tianyi greeted him and said, "Brother, what did the mistress tell you, and what work did she arrange for us?"
In the face of everyone's inquiries, Bai Yan explained the things arranged by the hostess, and everyone wrote down their corresponding parts, and at the same time, they also thought about the hidden dangers of these tasks.
"The hostess asked me to find her alone. I think there is something wrong with it." The maid Su Xiaoqian said: "Her two sons are not in good health, and one of them wants me to deliver meals alone. He can't be the one in this game. Ghost?"
"It's possible." Bai Yan continued, "But don't you think the hostess and her husband are also suspicious? Although I haven't met her husband, judging from her instructions, she and his husband are obviously If they are healthy and normal, then it is possible that her two sons are human beings, and their husband and wife are the real ghosts."
"That's right, isn't there a saying that 'things that look more normal are more abnormal', we've all gone to this hellish place, how can we see normal people." Gardener Li Hao agreed.
"Not necessarily. In fact, there is another possibility. The four people in the villa are all human beings, and terror has another origin." Lu Tianyi said: "The NPCs in the game...sometimes they will die before us, and provide us with ways to avoid death." It is possible that what is terrifying is the curse of the villa itself."
"Is there such a possibility? In fact, the four people in the villa died a long time ago, and it is their ghosts who live here now..." Yang Qi, the cleaning woman, put forward her opinion not to be outdone.
"..."
One person had one idea, and after a round of discussion, everyone found that if they really did what they thought, any situation was possible.
Without definite clues, the so-called conjectures can only be regarded as wild imaginations. Knowing that the discussion would lead to no results, everyone simply shut up and stopped arguing about 'who is the ghost', but discussed something more practical.
"All in all, we need information. Without information, guessing is nothing." After finally finding a place to rest, An Qing put her crutches aside, sat on the bed and said, "Sorry, my legs and feet are inconvenient. Everyone is lagging behind."
An Qingliu frowned slightly, and said apologetically, "I can't collect information outside, so I can only search the nearby rooms. In the past few days, I will try my best to find out if there are letters left by past servants in the servant's room, or hidden compartments for hiding things." .”
"It's okay, big sister, leave it to us." Zhu Fugui felt sorry for An Qing, a girl with injured legs and feet, so he patted his chest and comforted him, "You should rest in the room."
"My job is a driver, and there is nothing I need to do in the villa. I have time until tomorrow morning. After a while, Li Hao and I will walk around the garden to see if there is anything suspicious." Liu Kui said: "Yang Qi , can you pay attention when cleaning the room, and quietly search the drawers when there is no one around? It is best to find diaries, letters and other items. "
"...This is not very good." Yang Qi said unhappily: "The game said, 'The player needs to complete the task assigned by the master, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk'. The hostess just told us not to wander around in the villa except for work. , and don't rummage through her things, if you are found out, you will definitely be kicked out by her."
"Anyway, whoever loves to do it will do it. I won't take the risk of doing this."
"But if we don't do anything, where did we get any clues?" Su Xiaoqian dissatisfied: "We are not forcing you to search the drawer in front of the master. If you don't do it, don't even think about getting any news from us. Destroy it!"
What Su Xiaoqian said was very poisonous, but none of them spoke for Yang Qi.
Lu Tianyi seemed a bit impatient, and wanted to speak out for Yang Qi, but he thought that if everyone was as timid as she was, expecting others to take risks and reaping the rewards, then this game wouldn't be necessary.
Seeing that no one spoke for him, Yang Qi pursed her lips, and said reluctantly: "Okay, I know, I will try my best to search the drawer while others are not paying attention. But if the hostess keeps staring at the side I will never do anything dangerous."
Yang Qi replied coyly, but Su Xiaoqian couldn't see her shrinking head, so she snorted and said: "You guys continue talking, I'll go to the hostess first. She doesn't seem to want other people to talk to her. The eldest son contacted, I will ask and see if I can get something out of it."
After finishing speaking, Su Xiaoqian lifted her skirt and hurried away.
Lu Tianyi also went out with Su Xiaoqian. Although the hostess said that he didn't have to follow her husband all the time, Lu Tianyi felt that the bodyguard who couldn't see him for a day couldn't be justified, so she went to report to her husband.
After the two left, Liu Kui and Li Hao felt that there was nothing to discuss, so they also said goodbye together and went to the garden to see the roses.
As for Zhu Fugui, he is an out-and-out countryman who has been cooking in the country. He doesn't know what kind of food rich people in big cities like to eat. What kind of dishes can please this family of four.
