The breakfast is also western style.
The toast was baked just right, with half-melted cheese and ham in the middle. The outer layer was charred, and the middle was soft and tender. With a cup of hot fresh milk, it just woke up the sleepy morning.
Of course, only Shen Dongqing thought so.
The two people sitting across from him had no taste for food and were worried.
Shen Dongqing took a bite of the perfectly fried poached egg, and said with hindsight, "One less person?"
Beards do not appear today.
The man in the plaid shirt said, "I went knocking on the door to find him. He said he was not feeling well and didn't want to come out."
It was fine when we met last night, so it's impossible for one night to be sick and unable to leave the house.
Unless the beard touches something it shouldn't touch.
The bald middle-aged man frowned: "Did he leave the room at night?"
Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan looked at each other.
Not only left the room.
The bearded elder brother also smashed the earl into pieces.
The clearance condition given by the game is to kill the earl or spend the harvest festival.
Last night they had already seen with their own eyes that the earl could no longer die, and logically speaking, they have now cleared the customs.
But it didn't.
They are still well in the castle.
Zhou Wenyan took a sip of the milk in the glass and thought to himself: Unless the earl is not killed so easily.
creak —
The door to the hall was opened.
The housekeeper came in and said to the players, "The Earl's body has improved a lot, and he can attend the banquet tonight. Please prepare well for the five young ladies."
Zhou Wenyan repeated her words: "Five?"
The housekeeper stared at him and said, "Yes."
Zhou Wenyan nodded: "Got it."
The housekeeper gave Zhou Wenyan a slightly stiff smile and slowly exited the hall.
The plaid shirt asked, "What do you know?"
Zhou Wenyan threw down the knife and fork in his hand, and made a crisp sound when it hit the porcelain plate. He said lazily, "Five, it means that they already know that there is a 'Miss' who can't attend the dinner."
The plaid shirt and the bald middle-aged man turned pale.
It seems that the beard is less fierce.
What scares them is not the death of their comrade, but that they do not know why their comrade died.
Zhou Wenyan stood up, tidied up his cuffs, and said casually, "I'll give you a piece of advice, it's best to refuse the invitation of the Earl at night."
The earl's castle has a huge library.
There are enough books there to fill an entire wall, from the corner to the roof, densely packed with books of all kinds.
Before afternoon tea, guests can freely tour the castle, so Shen Dongqing chose this place.
Because it can provide sweet and delicious cookies and black tea.
Wu Jia squeezed the biscuits and said, "The earl was obviously dead last night."
How could it be possible to attend tonight's banquet
Zhou Wenyan casually pulled out a book from the wall, opened it and glanced at it.
Wu Jia guessed: "Is it really a vampire? But like last night, even a vampire died. Is it the wrong way to kill?"
Compared with Wu Jia's anxiety, Zhou Wenyan seemed much more comfortable.
He even has the energy to read the words written on the books.
Wu Jia: "Boss, you have to think of a way."
Shen Dongqing nibbled on the biscuits with a "click", and suddenly said, "The Earl is not a human being."
Wu Jia blurted out: "Waste..." Nonsense, it was a human being who died early last night.
Zhou Wenyan raised his eyes and swept over.
Wu Jia quickly changed his mouth and laughed dryly: "You are right."
Shen Dongqing clapped the broken biscuit on his hand and said, "When a person dies, he will become a ghost. Even if a ghost dies, the yin will dissipate, but last night, there was neither of them."
As a former Specter, Shen Dongqing knew this very well.
It shows that the Count is neither a man nor a ghost.
what is that
Wu Jia asked, "Is a vampire a ghost?"
Shen Dongqing: "Hmm..."
It involves his blind spot of knowledge.
Zhou Wenyan tapped the hard-shell cover of the book with his fingers and made a dull sound.
When the other two looked over, he smiled: "I think we can go and see the bearded gentleman first."
After all, he was the first to see the Count.
And they were a step behind, not even seeing the full count.
The group returned to the guest room on the third floor.
Shen Dongqing did not forget to pack his biscuits, and Zhou Wenyan also took his book with him.
Now is free time, no one stays in the room waiting to die, they all go out to find clues.
Wu Jia still remembered which room the Beard was. He knocked on the door, but no one responded, so he opened the door directly.
click —
Unfortunately, the door was locked.
Wu Jia was about to find a servant to ask if he had the key, when he heard Shen Dongqing ask strangely, "Why don't you go through the window?"
Wu Jia: …
The bearded room was right next to Wu Jia's room. The two balconies were separated by an arm's width. Looking down, there was an abyss more than ten meters high.
Zhou Wenyan, with long hands and long legs, jumped over easily.
He stood opposite and stretched out his hand towards Shen Dongqing.
Shen Dongqing jumped over and happened to be picked up by Zhou Wenyan. He didn't stop the car all of a sudden, and his head hit Zhou Wenyan's chest.
Zhou Wenyan asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
Shen Dongqing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then smiled at him: "It's okay."
A voice came from the side: "I have something to do."
Wu Jia's body was a little uncoordinated, so she finally jumped over and stumbled to the ground. Turning his head to look beside him, he is also a friend, but the treatment is different.
Is it amazing to look good
Zhou Wenyan ignored him directly and walked into the room with Shen Dongqing.
Wu Jia patted the dust on his body.
Fine.
It's amazing to look good, especially if it's just right for the big guy's appetite.
Zhou Wenyan opened the curtains blocking the balcony and let Shen Dongqing go in first.
After letting go, the curtains fell again, covering the entire room tightly, without a trace of light penetrated.
It was daytime, but the room was indeed pitch black.
Zhou Wenyan opened a gap.
Just as the sun shone in, I heard a heart-piercing cry from inside.
Zhou Wenyan walked deep into the room.
The bearded man was curled up in the corner, and he was still wearing the blood-stained dress, which was different from the madness last night. Today, his complexion was unbelievably pale, and he was lying there weakly, his eyes full of fear of the sun. .
Zhou Wenyan remembered the words written in the diary.
[One by one, the girls who traveled together fell ill, became weak, and were afraid... ]
"Afraid of the sun." Zhou Wenyan said, "Is it really a vampire?"
Wu Jia said: "I read two novels before I entered this unfortunate game. Vampires suck the blood of others. How can they let others kill themselves?"
"Is the novel good?"
Shen Dongqing, as always, skewed the point.
Wu Jia replied subconsciously: "It's okay, pass the time..."
Zhou Wenyan touched his chin: "Whether it's a vampire or not, you'll know if you try it at night."
Wu Jia: "But the person who killed the count is likely to be the same as the bearded man."
Zhou Wenyan said, "Who said I was going to kill the count?"
Wu Jia: "?"
"What a bad fight." Zhou Wenyan sighed, "Why can't you ask the count a few questions kindly?"
Shen Dongqing asked curiously, "Why are you friendly?"
Zhou Wenyan taught him: "For example, tie up the earl first, then sit down and have a good talk."
Wu Jia: Oh, so friendly.
