"Are you sure you want to go?"
"I have to go there after all... I seem to be able to understand the structure of this Rose Manor."
After glancing at the oil painting in front of him, and then raising his head to look at the chandelier above his head, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's definitely dangerous there. In other words, it's the most risky place in the entire Rose Manor, because that's the core of this dungeon. This castle is just outside the core..."
"Do you think you are better than the two of them?"
Interrupting his words without politeness, Yan Huo Fengyue's words had an aggressive flavor.
"A senior investigator died silently there, and Colorful Black was burned alive inside. Are you so sure that you can survive!? At this time, why are you trying to be a hero!?"
"Please, what I want to do seems to have nothing to do with you, right? Did I provoke you in any way? Wasn't it just that I stole your head before?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi spoke angrily.
"Some things have to be done by someone. This is not some kind of heroism. The word hero is not something that can be thrown around casually... Do you know what the meaning of a hero's existence is?"
"What is the meaning of a hero's existence? What does this kind of thing have to do with me?"
After being stunned for a moment, Yanhuo Fengyue waved her hands in annoyance.
"I must state in advance that I owe you a favor, but if you want to enter that kind of dangerous place, I will never go in."
"Who asked you to go in... Do you really think I care about your favor?"
Pouting his lips, Bai Zhi turned around and walked toward the stairs.
"And besides, I told you before when you found the notebook that it was a return of favor, but you still insist on insisting on this kind of thing. There is something wrong with your brain... I'll go. We are attending the tea party. You can move freely. There should be no danger during this period. Oh, by the way... "
Turning around, Bai Zhi looked at Cyborg with a serious look on his face.
"Cyborg, Gundam doesn't exist, wake up and go to sleep."
Cyborg: "???"

Along the long and deep stairs, Bai Zhi walked straight on to the top floor.
Thanks to the notebook he found in the underground library, he roughly figured out half of the situation of this copy. The previous investigator probably also figured out the things he had speculated so far, so he did not look back. Plunging headlong into the illusion of the past.
…It’s just that the other party failed.
But I have to say that the notebook the other party left behind was a big help to him and helped him save a lot of time.
-In the loneliness of nothingness, what is true and what is false
The weather today is not good. Large swaths of dark clouds gathered in the sky, and it was so gloomy that it seemed like it was going to rain.
When Bai Zhi came to the top floor, he happened to see Anna sitting next to a round square table with a steaming tea cup in front of her. At this moment, she was holding her chin with her hand and looking at the outside of the castle. The scenery, the whole person didn't know what he was thinking about.
The huge ragdoll cat was lazily lying on the open space not far from Anna and dozing. After seeing him coming up, the ragdoll cat's eyes first opened and faced him. He glanced at it, then closed it again.
—On the entire top floor, only Anna and her ragdoll cat exist.
She was the only one attending the so-called tea party.
"Your Highness, are you here?"
It seemed that she had been in a daze. It was not until Bai Zhi walked to the table that Anna woke up from her trance.
When she saw Bai Zhi sitting down in front of her, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Well, because I have free time... What's so good about this scenery?"
Sitting on the chair and turning his head to look at the desolation outside the castle, Bai Zhi smiled slightly on his face.
"It's a rainy day today. It looks like it's going to rain soon. Don't you even want to hold an umbrella here?"
"Umbrella..."
After a moment of silence, and no movement was seen from Anna, a pure white large umbrella appeared out of thin air beside the table, completely covering the heads of the two of them.
And it just so happened that at this time, the rain came quietly, hitting the umbrella with a pitter-pattering sound.
He got up from the ground, and after looking at Anna with a seemingly resentful look, the ragdoll cat got up and hid under the eaves.
"Uh... This umbrella shouldn't cost me anything, right?"
He raised his head and looked at the umbrella above his head. As a certain guess in his mind became clearer, Bai Zhi asked Anna in front of him with a slightly strange expression.
"Of course it is necessary. As a price, His Highness the Prince will accompany Anna to say something."
Tilting her head slightly, Anna showed a slightly naughty smile on her face.
"His Royal Highness is the first person to attend Anna's tea party in so many years."
"First?"
Looking at the teacup that automatically appeared in front of him, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, because those people in the past are not qualified. Only His Royal Highness the Prince has the right to come up to the top floor to participate in the tea party. Without Anna's invitation, it is impossible for them to come up."
Putting her hands on the table to support her chin and shaking her feet, Anna seemed to be very happy and spoke.
"Your Highness, do you want to consider staying with Anna forever? Not in the posture of a doll, but in this human posture. By then, Your Highness will also be the owner of this manor, right?"
"Let's talk about this kind of thing later. I'm more curious about another thing..."
Without hesitation, he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of tea. Bai Zhi smiled.
"Why do you think I am His Highness the Prince?"
"Because His Highness the Prince is His Highness the Prince."
Anna looked matter-of-fact.
"Katherine has told me that all princes and princes are very good-looking. If you are so good-looking, you must be the prince I am looking for."
"Catherine...is she your maid?"
Bai Zhi put down the teacup in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course, Catherine has been my personal maid who has taken care of me since I was a child. I like the stories she tells me about His Highness the Prince the most."
Putting her hands together on her chest, Anna seemed to have stars twinkling in her eyes.
"Whenever a princess encounters difficulties or her life is in danger, there will always be a very good-looking prince who appears in desperate situations to rescue the princess. And at the end of the story, the princess and the prince must live happily together. Together."
"Really? That's really a beautiful fairy tale..."
His eyes flickered for a few times, and Bai Zhi exhaled in his mouth.
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to introduce your parents to me? Where are they?"
"It's not very convenient for them to move around, so they usually stay in their rooms... I'll take the prince to their rooms to greet them."
After thinking for a moment, Anna simply jumped down from the chair, and then stretched out her hand towards Bai Zhi.
"I'll take His Royal Highness with me."
"OK."
Bai Zi smiled softly and reached out to hold the other person's extended hand.
… … … … … … … … … …
"You can't get up here at all... Is it because you weren't invited?"
At the entrance of the stairs, looking at the long spiral staircase in front of him, Steel Bone, who was blocked here by the invisible wall, looked thoughtful.
After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and asked the silent girl beside him.
"I think we should forget it. Since we have decided to step into the illusion of the past together at night, I think we still need to prepare in advance. Is it necessary to go up?"
"... After not seeing each other for a long time, if someone who used to have long hair suddenly cuts his hair short, would it be difficult to recognize him?"
After a moment of silence, the deceased Zero suddenly asked him such a strange question.
"Huh? No way. After all, if you just cut your hair short... wait, do you know him?"
Glancing at the girl beside him, Cyborg suddenly reacted with a look of surprise on his face.
"Elementary school classmate? Childhood friend? Former neighbor? Childhood sweetheart?"
Based on the other party's words, Cyborg made several guesses in succession.
"Since you haven't seen each other for a long time, it's normal for people not to recognize each other for a while. After all, it's been so long... By the way, how long has it been since you last met?"
"Girlfriend, about four months."
Dead Zero answered calmly.
"Cough cough cough... wait, girlfriend!?"
After hearing the girl's answer, Cyborg almost choked himself to death. He looked at the girl in front of him with a look of doubt on his face.
"We haven't seen each other for a few months? Have you not contacted each other in these few months?"
"No, because the phone couldn't be reached, and he didn't write a letter."
Looking at the stairs in front of her, the girl still had a calm look on her face.
"I thought he was dead."
Cyborg: "????"
Good morning... No, good night. I feel so uncomfortable right now o(╥﹏╥)o
pps: I recommend a very good book, "The Thief of Liyue". Nanque is an old friend. This book was written during the same period a few years ago and was really good. ]q skirt clothes ⑧ ② one 7 seven 1 six

"Ahem... I think it's not that he didn't recognize you."
As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, but bystanders know clearly. After coughing a few times, Cyborg gave a very tactful reminder.
"You have said it before. There has been no contact between you for several months. If he thinks..."
"Think I'm dead too?"
Tilting his head slightly, the deceased Zero turned his head.
Cyborg: "..."
"...I think you should be in a state of peaceful separation now."
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and Cyborg turned his head and looked to the side.
"As the saying goes, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, so why should you fall in love with a flower unrequitedly? I don't think there is any need for you to..."
"No, I promised someone else."
The girl frowned slightly.
"It's not my rule to break one's word, I have to take good care of him."
"...You can handle your own affairs, I don't care."
After waving his hands, Cyborg looked very tired.
"But to be honest, I don't actually recommend that you go in at night. What Yanhuo Fengyue said is not wrong. It's too dangerous there. I can go alone. You have an intelligent player and an assistant..."
Before Cyborg finished speaking, his eyes suddenly raised his head and looked at the spiral staircase in front of him with a slightly strange look.
While he was watching, someone was holding Anna's hand and coming downstairs calmly.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Cyborg gave the other party a convinced thumbs up.
… I’m really dissatisfied. How can such an operation be done
This is like the brave team finally arriving at the Demon King's City after all the hardships. However, just when the brave and others were preparing to eliminate the Demon King and save the world in one go, they found that the Demon King had been abducted back to his hometown by a guy who ran out of nowhere. They got married, leaving them with an empty Demon King's Castle...
Someone's current situation is similar to that of the guy who kidnapped the Demon King.
