When Su Man led Bai Youwei and his party to the third floor, the man in the torture room also woke up.
He was not surprised to see a group of women appearing in front of him, claiming to be the gardeners of the manor.
- The gardener was imprisoned here by the duke because of his handsome appearance. Whenever the duke wanted to test the bride, he would let him out, and as long as the bride had even the slightest contact with the gardener, the duke would be angered and brutally killed.
After listening to it, everyone understood that this person should be an NPC in the game.
However, it is quite rare to see this kind of NPC with its own plot in the game...
Most of them were persecuted by the duke, and they were all fallen from the end of the world. The gardener had a very friendly attitude towards them, telling them:
"The Duke will only kill the bride who makes mistakes. As long as you don't make mistakes, there will be no danger."
"How can I not make mistakes?" Zhu Shu asked, "He killed our companion at dinner last night."
The gardener said: "You can't take off the wedding dress that symbolizes your identity, you can't refuse to have dinner with the duke, you can't talk to a man other than the duke... As long as you don't offend the duke, the duke won't hurt you."
"But we have disobeyed his request..." Cheng Qian said tremblingly, "We entered the locked room, we... We also talked to men other than the duke... "
As she spoke, she looked at the bloody torture instruments in the room, trembling with fear, she retreated subconsciously, accidentally bumped into the witch chair behind her, and the back of her hand was pierced! screaming in horror!
The witch's chair is an ancient torture device. There are nails on the back and armrests of the chair. The iron nails will continuously pierce the body when sitting on it. In the Middle Ages, countless innocent women were executed as witches.
The back of Cheng Qian's hand was only punctured a little, but her spirit was close to collapse!
She covered her hands and shouted in panic, "I don't want to stay here! I want to go back to my room!"
"It's just a broken hand! It's not a broken hand or a broken foot! Can you calm down?!" Hu Ya scolded her, "No more noise, be careful to make a noise with Bluebeard!"
Cheng Qian's pupils suddenly widened, as if she was terrified, and her back was curled up. Her eyes looked to the left and to the right in fear, lest the blue beard would suddenly appear out of nowhere!
Su Man had always hated this girl who was ostentatious in front of Li Li, but seeing her mentally ill now made her feel very uncomfortable.
Bai Youwei looked at all the torture tools in the torture room and asked the gardener, "Do you know how to get out of here?"
The gardener was stunned and replied, "If you want to leave here, you must find the key."
"The key?" Bai Youwei narrowed her eyes slightly, "The inspector told us that if you want to leave here, you must become the last bride, but it didn't mention what key to look for."
The gardener shook his head when he heard the words: "I don't know what the last bride is. I only know that if you want to leave here, you must have the key to the outside gate. The Duke hid the key and hid it in this manor."
Bai Youwei frowned and looked at him silently.
The inspector asked them to be the last bride, but the NPC asked them to find the key. Is the inspector playing word games, or is the NPC lying
Zhu Shu whispered beside her: "The information the NPC gets may be limited, and it's normal not to know the Inspector's prompt. I think the key can be found."
Bai Youwei thought for a while, and deliberately probed: "Shouldn't I kill the duke to leave here?"
"Kill the Duke?" The gardener's voice suddenly became higher, "That's impossible! No matter how many injuries the Duke suffers, he will heal quickly, no one can hurt him! You should find the key as soon as possible, When the sun goes down, it will be too late!"
