    Xiao Lan stared at the dark dishes on the plate. Just now, Mrs. Bella said, "I made this for you with my own hands." She was able to affect the players because of something she added to it, or because she had some special ability. ? Not even Luo could tell the exact substance contained in it.

    In short, the food at the banquet looked untouchable.

    Xiao Lan looked at the vegetables used for decoration next to the plate, and to be on the safe side, it would be better not to touch them.

    I don't know how many days this game will last. If it's obviously unrealistic to be unable to eat all the time, then there should be other ways to get food.

    The atmosphere of the banquet that followed was very strange.

    The maids in turn brought the other meals, which were almost all mushy dark dishes, and it was difficult to tell what they were made of.

    The two players who had eaten Mrs. Bella's dishes before were full of praise for each dish, praising them with exaggerated adjectives, and sending them into their mouths with happy smiles.

    If you are a normal chef, you will probably like this kind of guests who are not picky eaters and blow rainbow farts.

    On the other side, none of the players did anything to the food. They observed the two people who were behaving abnormally, and occasionally chatted in a low voice. Even the table wine on the side was left untouched. withdraw.

    There is a clear distinction between the two sides, like a boring comedy and an audience that is difficult to laugh at.

    Faced with this scene, Mrs. Bella didn't seem to have any interest in feeding each of them in person. She just sat there with a smile, tasting red wine and listening to the two players' praise and praise for her. .

    The normal-sized wine glass is especially petite in her huge palm. She can drink the entire glass of wine in one sip, and the maid by the side will pour her wine again in time.

    The banquet came to an end in such a strange atmosphere.

    Just when the players were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Mrs. Bella stood up and clapped her hands.

    Hearing the sound, the maids with the weird painting style filed in, and put new wine glasses and poured new wine for the players. The wine has a strong aroma and is a crystal clear amber liquid. Glittering luster.

    During this period, a woman with an imaginative appearance... Maybe not a female maid, she approached Xiao Lan and took the opportunity to say in his ear: "If the guests feel lonely tonight, why don't you come to me, we can spend the evening together. ."

    Xiao Lan was expressionless: "Thank you, no need."

    The maid giggled: "Don't be shy, guests~"

    Xiao Lan: "..."

    Am I shy that you don't have any points!

    After the maids left.

    Mrs. Bella smiled and raised her glass. She looked around at the players with different expressions: "Thank you for coming today, and toast for our meeting."

    This untimely toast silenced the players for a while.

    They already knew what would happen if they ate Mrs. Bella's love meal, and what happened to this sudden wine? What is her purpose?

    Xiao Lan stared at the wine glass in his hand. He noticed when the maid was pouring the wine. The packaging of these wines was very uniform. The wine bottle was marked with the name of a winery and the year was clearly marked. Made by Mrs. Bella in private.

    Although, with Mrs. Bella's financial resources, it is not difficult to establish a winery by herself. But logically, the game should not allow the boss to kill all the players at the beginning of the game, right?

    There is still a high probability that alcohol is safe, and perhaps not drinking is the danger.

    Just as Xiao Lan stretched out his hand towards the wine glass, he saw Wang Ke standing not far away, grabbed the wine glass and drank it. With a pat on the table, a wave of arrogance directly stunned the audience.

    Sure enough, seeing a hundred things is better than seeing them, Wang Ke, what a fierce man!

    After Wang Ke finished drinking, he sat back in his seat and continued without saying a word. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.

    Seeing his eldest brother drinking so decisively, Wang Taidi understood it in seconds. He picked up the wine glass and drank it directly. By the way, he winked at Xiao Lan and asked him to join.

    Xiao Lan picked up the wine glass, the wine was silky smooth and mellow in taste, a unique aroma slowly dissipated in the mouth, and the special woody aroma was displayed layer by layer, making him feel... really want to drink Coke. .

    Wang Teddy also put down the wine glass and quietly said to Xiao Lan, "I still like to drink orange juice."

    Xiao Lan said with a serious face: "Coke is better."

    Two paupers with no discernment.

    At this time, everyone else in the room took their wine glasses and drank the wine, only Qi Ning still stood still with his stern bird beak mask, which stood out.

    Mrs. Bella also noticed this. She turned her asymmetrical eyes and said in a dangerous tone: "What's the matter, this guest, is my wine not to your liking?"

    When the players heard the words, they all looked at this mysterious player like an epidemic doctor.

    What will happen to defying Mrs. Bella?

    Qi Ning remained calm, he stood up and gave a gentleman's salute to Mrs. Bella, his voice was low and hoarse as if he was a little weak: "Beautiful lady, your beauty is as bright as moonlight, and like a rose. Gorgeous, in front of your beauty, I have no time to be distracted to taste any kind of food, please forgive my rudeness."

    The serious nonsense shocked everyone. Don't look at this person's noble and glamorous posture. He was so decisive when he dropped his morals, and he looked unusually skilled, and he didn't know how many times he had experienced it.

    To do this without taking off the mask! Doesn't your lower limit as an advanced player hurt?

    In other words, there is no such thing as a lower limit to the possibility of becoming an advanced player.

    "Hahaha, you are really a guest who makes me happy." Mrs. Bella laughed when she heard the words, and the huge body hit the table and the table began to shake. She was obviously very satisfied with this high-quality compliment. Care about the authenticity of the content.

    While the player was stunned, she just let Qi Ning go.

    It seems that accurately judging the boss's character and needs will be of great help to the smooth customs clearance.

    After the banquet, the butler took the players away and arranged rooms for them.

    The players' rooms are on the top floor of the manor, and there are maids waiting in the corridors in and out. In name, they can serve the guests in a timely manner, but in fact, they may also mean a lot of surveillance.

    In this way, any entry and exit of the player will be in the sight of the servants of the manor.

    The top floor is four floors below, and it is far away from other rooms that may have clues, which also increases the difficulty for players to sneak out to find food at night.

    Xiao Lan looked at the structure of the corridor, and happened to meet Wang Taidi who opened the door opposite.

    Wang Teddy looked a little confused: "This door doesn't look very strong."

    Hearing this, Xiao Lan turned around and pinched the door panel. It was made of solid wood. The quality was actually very good, but it was very fragile in the face of the power of ghosts.

    He comforted: "It's useless to be strong. Anyway, the key is in their hands. In fact, our door is also a psychological comfort."

    Wang Teddy: "..."

    This comfort is so frustrating.

    Xiao Lan noticed that this time the housekeeper did not say that one person must have a room, but the players still chose one person to share a room. Wouldn't it be safer for several people to form a team? He raised this doubt to Wang Teddy.

    Wang Teddy seemed to suddenly remember something: "I seem to have forgotten to tell you before that the more players you have together, the greater the chance of encountering danger. So players usually form a team of two or three people to take care of each other. , if there are those who carry seven or eight, most of them use other people as cannon fodder."

    Xiao Lan wondered: "Then why don't you go to sleep with your brother? Isn't it just right for the two of you?"

    Wang Teddy drooped his head: "My brother dislikes me grinding my teeth and kicking the quilt, and eating his hair until midnight..."

    Xiao Lan: "..."

    What kind of troubled life does Wang Ke live?

    Wang Teddy scratched his little curly hair: "But I'm very skilled in dealing with dangers at night. Generally, I just keep quiet and don't kill myself. If there is any trouble that can't be solved, I can use props to sneak directly to my brother."

    He approached Xiao Lan and asked softly, "What if Mrs. Bella sneaked over at night and wanted to attack me at night?"

    Xiao Lan thought about Mrs. Bella's figure: "If you sleep until the sound of her footsteps can't wake you up, then you can almost bury it directly."

    Wang Teddy: "..."

    Our friendship boat has leaked!

    Go back to the room.

    Xiao Lan looked at this luxurious guest room as always. The bed in the guest room looks big and soft, and there is no problem with four or five adult men lying on it. There are sofas and coffee tables by the exquisite window, which looks countless times larger than the shabby little room in the player's residence. .

    There was a vase by the bed with a handful of white roses with dewdrops in it.

    There is also a letter next to the vase with a huge lip print on it. You don't have to guess who the owner of this lip print is. Except for Mrs. Bella, there is no such huge and peculiar mouth here.

    Xiao Lan reached out and opened the letter, perhaps it was more appropriate to say that it was a love letter. It tells of his thoughts and joy of meeting, and hopes that he can have a good time in the manor, but the whole process uses "my little sweetheart" as a proxy, which looks like a mass email.

    The handwriting on the love letter was beautiful and slender, as if it had been written by a well-educated noblewoman, completely different from Mrs. Bella's terrifying appearance. Was it a human face, or was it ghostwritten?

    It is still early, and the maids in the manor are still active, so it is not a good time to go out to find clues and forage.

    Xiao Lan was sitting on the sofa beside the bed. The tea set in the guest room was also extraordinarily delicate, with a color like jade. It seemed to be thinner and whiter than ordinary porcelain, and it even shone slightly.

    He didn't pay much attention to making tea, so he poured himself a glass of cold water.

    Xiao Lan had just put the cup to her lips and was about to drink it when someone pressed her shoulder.

    "Sir." Luo's voice came from the direction of the window.

    Xiao Lan turned her head and saw Luo sitting by the window smiling, behind the starry night sky. He came directly from the outer wall of the manor, and he didn't make a sound at all.

    Luo withdrew his hand: "I found in the room that the tea set next to the sofa here is bone china. Since the bone composition of humans and most vertebrates is the same, I have some doubts what bone is made of."

    Xiao Lan looked at the cup in his hand and felt a little bit prickly.

    In case this is human...

    Luo got down from the window and skillfully walked to the cabinet in the room. He had long been familiar with the layout and arrangement of items in his room, and took out a new set of tea sets from the cabinet: "Please wait a moment, I A new pot of tea for you."

    A moment later, a cup of fragrant black tea was handed to Xiao Lan.

    Xiao Lan drank black tea and missed Coke, while discussing the next response with Luo: "I plan to sleep for a while, and then go out to find clues after the maids have rested in the middle of the night."

    Luo said seriously: "Sir, I don't need sleep. I can watch over you all night to ensure your safety. Just leave the dangerous things to me."

    Xiao Lan shook his head: "This is my game, I have to rely on my own strength to clear the level, I can accept your help, but I can't leave all the dangers to you to deal with."

    "Besides, I'll feel like a black-hearted boss when I sleep by myself and let you stand aside."

    "You go back to rest first. When the time comes, you can come and wake me up. Let's go together."

    "Okay, sir." Luo replied with a smile.

    "Oh yes, don't open the window, it's not safe." Xiao Lan added.

    Luo nodded and closed the door.

    After that, Xiao Lan extinguished the candle and lay on the soft bed, falling into a deep dream in the darkness.

    After Xiao Lan's breathing became completely uniform, a pair of pale golden eyes suddenly appeared in the dark night, reflecting a faint light in the thin moonlight. He quietly guarded him like this, in order not to disturb Xiao Lan, he even stopped imitating human breathing and heartbeat, like a silent dead thing growing in the shadows.

    At this moment, he misses the black cat form that is not easy to use, at least the black cat will not be driven out...

    As it was about to enter into the night, Mrs. Bella's manor gradually became quiet. Most of the maids have returned to their rooms to rest, and only a few who need to be on duty at night are still working.

    A sneaky figure moved forward in the manor, carefully avoiding the few night maids. It seemed that he knew the situation inside the manor very well, so he quietly touched the floor where the player was.

    One, two, three... The man silently counted the players' rooms one by one, and finally found his goal.

    The sneaky figure was ecstatic, took out a spare key from his arms, and was about to put it in the keyhole.

    "It's rude to behave like this, miss." A low male voice suddenly sounded behind her.

    The maid looked terrified, how could it be possible!

    She obviously didn't feel that there was someone behind her.

    Didn't the maid who changed shifts say that these guests had already returned to the room and never came out again? Where did this person come from?

    The maid turned around suddenly. If Xiao Lan was there, he would have recognized it. This was the maid who poured wine for him at the banquet and invited him to spend the evening together.

    After turning around, she found that there was still no trace of anyone.

    Before the maid could speak, she heard a sharp object pressing against her neck.

    The maid was stiff, and now she was completely unable to move.

    "Please don't disturb my master, okay?" The sound of a cello sounded low in her ears, followed by a sharp pain in her neck, "Otherwise, although it's a little disrespectful to the lady, I can only ask you to enter sleep forever."

    A sense of coolness swept up from her back, as if the sense of crisis being stared at by a fierce predator in the dark made the maid dare not move at all, she could only say softly: "Okay, okay..."

    Then, the sharp touch on her neck disappeared, and a hand pushed gently behind her back: "You can go."

    The maid didn't dare to have any objection, and took small steps away quickly, and didn't dare to look back to confirm who was behind her.

    She didn't realize that in the short confrontation, the dagger she had hidden on her body had been taken away by the other party.

    Glancing at the dagger in his hand, Luo took it into his arms. Then, with a look of indifference and murderous intent on his face, he put on the gentle smile that Xiao Lan was most familiar with, and knocked gently on Xiao Lan's door.

    "Sir, it's almost time."

    The author has something to say:

    Wang Ke Small Theater:

    Usually at the player station: I can wear as high as I want, I am the most beautiful cub in the crowd.

    About to enter the dungeon: five centimeters... um, maybe three centimeters for hands-on, not flat bottom! Absolutely not, never wear a flat bottom until the line of life and death!
