"Where's Catherine? Where did you keep her?"
"You mean that bitch?"
Narrowing her eyes, the woman smiled.
"Don't worry, her fate will not be much better. I have sent people to reform her. Later, we will have a very obedient cat... Do you like cats?"
"This kind of thing needs to be investigated strictly."
After hearing the woman's answer, the expression on the middle-aged man's face softened slightly, but his tone remained serious.
"There must be someone behind Catherine's back, otherwise a little maid wouldn't be able to make big waves. Tonight's birthday party is a top priority, and I don't want any accidents to happen."
"There may be changes, but accidents will never happen."
Looking back at the closed door behind her, the woman showed a gentle smile on her face.
"After today, Anna will know how much we love her... Oh, my lovely Anna... From now on, you will have an immortal life... Become the most anticipated rescuer..."
"For words like this, let's wait until we succeed."
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised at a mocking angle, interrupting the woman's words. The man looked noncommittal.
"Are you ready for the night?"
"Of course, if you are worried, we can check again."
Turning her head and resting her head on the man's shoulder, the woman answered with a smile.
"Let's go. It's time to let our lovely Anna calm down a little. I believe that one day, she will understand our good intentions..."
… … … … … … … … … … … …
"I feel like I know some incredible secrets..."
After the two people finally walked away, Bai Zhi emerged from the shadows again. Looking at the direction in which the two people disappeared, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.
Thanks to the super-bitter magic potion that a white-haired loli previously developed that can make people leave the body, and the equipment lent to him by Night Owl, his spiritual energy value is finally a little rich, otherwise In this castle that is in danger, he may not be able to afford the mana consumption of his skills and equipment.
"But it's a pity. Although it seems that a lot has been said, the really important things have not been revealed at all... Catherine?"
Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
—This is the third time he has heard this name.
The first time was when he saw yesterday's vision for the first time and learned from the conversation between the two maids that the other maid had been imprisoned for making certain mistakes. The second time, it was Anna herself who said it at Anna's tea party. From Anna's mouth, he learned that Catherine was Anna's personal maid... The third time is now.
"But speaking of it this way, it seems that I inserted it a little late. Otherwise, I could have tried to save Catherine. She must know many secrets about this castle... What a pity."
Shaking his head slightly, Bai Zhi looked at the closed door in front of him, but somehow in his mind, he suddenly remembered the huge ragdoll cat that had always been by Anna's side.
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 268 Chapter 264 Despicable Foreigner! !
I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Bai Zhi put his hand on the door, a piece of information suddenly poured into his mind.
[Odd changes to even?]
"What?"
After being stunned for a moment, Bai Zhi let go of his hand.
As his hand loosened, the message disappeared again in the blink of an eye.
"Is it a message made with some kind of equipment or props... Breath of Ye Yan?"
His eyes flickered for a few times, and Bai Zhi quickly identified the person most likely to leave this message in his mind.
Putting his hand on the door again, Bai Zhi answered this familiar question in his mind, and then, a short message appeared in his mind.
[Anna cannot be killed, kill her, and the castle will riot in advance! !]
It seems that there is a requirement on the number of words in the message, so the information that comes to mind is just a few sentences.
"So when it comes to feelings, do you really break into the other person's room and run to kill him... No, the point is that under the premise of the riot in the entire castle, he is not dead, and at the same time, he still has the heart to come here and leave a message... So Is this investigator's current situation alive or dead? If he had not died, where would he be now? I just don't know how much information he has at present... "
While thinking this in his mind, Bai Zhi reached out and pushed open the door in front of him.
Although the information left by the other party was only a few sentences, there was a lot of hidden information revealed in it.
For example, the most important point revealed in this is that this scene will continue to cycle, otherwise the investigator would not have the ability to come here and leave this kind of information. After all, Anna has already After he was killed, did he need to remind others not to kill Anna? meaningless.
… This bit of information is actually very easy to infer.
But if the situation is really as he guessed, then the core area here may be like a Möbius strip that will never end, repeating the cycle continuously throughout the day...
… … … … … … … … … … … …
In the room, in front of the table near the window, Loli, who had long blond hair and an extra white crown on her forehead, was sitting there with her chin in her hand.
After hearing the movement at the door, she turned her head and looked here with some confusion, and then she couldn't help but froze for a moment.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I'm a magician who can grant other people's wishes."
Smiling slightly, Bai Zhi conjured a few more balloons in his hands, and then handed them all to the other party.
"Today is your birthday. Do you have any wishes that you want to realize? I can help you realize it."
"Can you really grant my wish?"
She took the balloons blankly, and after hearing Bai Zhi's words, Anna's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Everyone in the castle has become very strange recently. Catherine even told me a lot of words that I didn't understand. I hope..."
"Anna, have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Before Anna could finish her sentence, a cold voice suddenly came from the door.
"Sure enough, a few little mice did come into the castle. The vague peeking before was just because you, the mouse, was hiding aside, right?"
"...Have you discovered it a long time ago?"
Turning his head and looking at the middle-aged man who appeared at the door, Bai Zhi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
"Although the feeling of being spied on is quite subtle, when I think of the mice that appeared in the castle before, I am still a little more distracted."
Looking past Bai Zhi and looking at Anna in the room, the middle-aged man snorted coldly and spoke in a scolding tone.
"Anna, throw away the balloon in your hand. Why are you keeping such cheap items!?"
"..."
Biting her lip, Anna let go of her hand and let the balloon in her hand fall to the ground.
"Let's go out and talk... To be honest, compared to her, I am more interested in you."
Looking back at Anna, Bai Zhi sighed slightly in his mouth with his hand and pressed his forehead.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
A strange color flashed across his eyes, and without any hesitation, the middle-aged man turned around and left the door of the room.
(...Are you not worried that I will attack Anna? Or maybe this is his wish...)
A few thoughts quickly passed through his mind. After turning back to Anna and waving his hand with a smile, Bai Zhi also walked out of the door and closed the door at the same time.
Not far from the corridor outside the door, the middle-aged man was standing there waiting for him.
"... a stranger?"
His eyes swept over the clothes Bai Zhi was wearing, and the middle-aged man frowned slightly.
"Despicable foreigner, tell me, you and your companions sneaked into my castle secretly. What do you mean?"
"I don't even know where the end of the universe is, how could I possibly know this?"
Shrugging, Bai Zhi looked at the other party.
"Can I take the liberty to ask, what do you plan to use Anna for? To be honest, your castle seems to be full of monsters..."
"Monster? Haha... It seems that you don't want to say anything anymore, but it doesn't matter, I'm not interested in your affairs."
A cold smile appeared on his face, and the middle-aged man spoke coldly.
"Rat, after all, it's just a rat, you despicable foreigners..."
His head suddenly tilted slightly to the side.
A silver-white bullet entered from the temple and went straight through his head, but there was no blood splashing where it passed. Instead, countless tiny tentacles protruded from the wound.
These tentacles quickly grabbed the bullet, and faint green smoke lingered on the tentacles.
"Tsk, as expected, have you turned into a monster yourself?"
Holding the light in his hand, Bai Zhi curled his lips in displeasure.
To deal with the monster in front of him that looked like the boss at the end of the level, Glory's lethality was still a bit lacking. The damage caused by the shot just now was almost non-existent. He had to consider buying new weapons.
"He immediately launches a sneak attack after a disagreement. He is indeed a despicable foreigner..."
Standing up straight again, low voices came from the middle-aged man's mouth.
"Before, you were able to come and go freely in my castle, right? It was because of that strange ability to hide in the shadows? Then when this ability temporarily fails, how long can you hide... Guard, catch him , we just need a good sacrifice, and the despicable foreigner in front of us looks pretty good."
As he finished speaking, a dozen guards appeared at the turn of the stairs.
"... Invalid? Uh..."
Subconsciously, Bai Zhi wanted to activate the shadow trace effect, but the appearance of a piece of feedback from the system made his face freeze involuntarily.
[Affected by the unknown curse, the player's skill traces are temporarily sealed for one hour.]
"Damn, is this guy so sinister? I seem to know how the colorful black got here..."
After rolling his eyes and knocking down a few rushing guards with a few casual shots, Bai Zhi turned over and jumped down the stairs.
[Buff? No one understands gravity better than me: freely control the gravity you experience. -10 minutes.]
[Buff? Despicable Foreigner: The duration of all negative statuses received by the self is reduced by 50%, and the duration of the buff status is increased by 50%. -30 minutes.]
Thanks to the balloons he gave to Anna before, he did get some good buffs, but as he slowly fell from the air, all the maids in the castle also spontaneously They gathered together, and at the landing point directly below him, there was a large group of guards gathered.
—Due to the previous man’s order, everyone in the entire castle seemed to be active.
"It feels like you will die if you fall..."
Looking at the scene below, Bai Zhi, who was slowly floating in the air, had a slightly subtle expression on his face.
"There are hundreds of alienated monsters wandering around the castle...how to fight them?"
And just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded inside the castle.
"Knives, forks, bowls and chopsticks, surrender to me!!"
Volume 1: The gap between virtuality and reality: Chapter 269 Chapter 265 In short, it is very cute (//?//)
In the castle, when the voice sounded, Bai Zhi's expression suddenly became quite strange while he was still in the air.
In his sight, as the sound sounded, countless knives, forks, bowls and chopsticks emerged out of thin air from the ripples of the void, and with the sound of ping-pong-pong-pong-pong, they rushed towards the guards below.
Taking advantage of this chaotic moment, a figure jumped out from the slope, grabbed his arm and ran towards the direction with the least traffic in the castle.
At the same time, several round red balls were thrown out by the opponent and hit the wall. In an instant, a large amount of pink gas filled the castle.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't come in? Why did you come in again?"
After a little trial, Bai Shang had to admit the sad fact that the opponent's power attributes were much higher than his own.
Seeing the fireworks and wind and moon running in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help being pulled by the other party, and Bai Zhi asked the other party helplessly.
"I'm out of my mind, right?"
In the midst of his busy schedule, he turned his head and glared at him fiercely. There was a gnashing of teeth in Yanhuo Fengyue's words.
"This place is far more dangerous than I imagined. If I die here, I will never let you go!!"
"So it's none of my business if you have a brain attack... Turn left into the third room, there's no one there."
Feeling the shocking force coming from his wrist, Bai Zhi sighed helplessly.
At the same time, several black shadows shot out from under his feet like lightning and ran in other directions.
Half a minute later, in a utility room that seemed to be stacked with various sundries, Yanhuo Fengyue couldn't help but let out a slight sigh of relief as he listened to the sound of people moving away from the door.
