    "You..." The housekeeper who was stepped on the ground had just spit out two words with difficulty, but she didn't want Wang Ke to increase the strength on her feet again and stepped back on her words.

    This is simply an inhumane picture. The lady who lives alone is attacked by an uninvited guest who suddenly visits late at night, and none of the bystanders lend a helping hand. Is it the degeneration of human nature or the indifference of society.

    It's a pity that the group of sticks in front of her has no sympathy for her situation. After all, the housekeeper has been watching a good show from the beginning, and is very happy to see players fail the customs clearance.

    "If you have any questions, just ask." Wang Ke, like a legendary bully who bullied the weak, waved to the door with a blank face, motioning for Xiao Lan to come in.

    Wang Teddy glanced at the butler who could no longer keep his original rigidity and strictness, and squatted down and asked, "What will happen tomorrow night?"

    The housekeeper just glared at him fiercely, but her mouth was tightly closed, completely ignoring Wang Teddy's question.

    Seeing this, Wang Ke gave her another kick, but the housekeeper snorted but still didn't speak, looking very tough.

    Wang Ke frowned.

    In an instant, the blood-red long knife he had seen before appeared in his hand. Han Guangzhan's sword light appeared in front of the housekeeper's defenseless moment, and the tip of the sword was only a few millimeters away from her eyeball. She had already felt the cold texture of the weapon, and there was a vague feeling of pain on her skin.

    The housekeeper took a deep breath. She never imagined that these guys would dare to be so presumptuous. Aren't they afraid of being blamed by Mrs. Bella?

    The housekeeper tried to calm down and said, "Tomorrow... an important event will be held in the manor."

    But it completely avoids the point that the player wants to know.

    Wang Ke gently turned the tip of the knife: "I can give you another chance."

    This slight change was very obvious in the housekeeper's eyes. She trembled and tried to restrain herself. She didn't want to put her eyes on the tip of the knife because of her own mistake.

    After a moment of entanglement between Mrs. Bella's punishment and the murderer who seemed to be ready to attack immediately, the butler said with difficulty: "Tomorrow is the night of the full moon, then... madam..."

    She hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Wang Ke who stepped on her facelessly, and continued: "Madam will start the sacrifice ceremony, and she will preside over it herself. The sacrifices are... her suitors."

    That's the player's role.

    Xiao Lan asked: "If she invites men to the manor to make sacrifices, does this happen once a month?"

    "Yes..." The housekeeper sighed. Once you start, it won't be difficult to continue. "The lady invited many men to the manor to confirm the most important sacrifice. She will choose among you. One of the finest, as the last and most precious offering."

    Xiao Lan asked, "Who is the object of sacrifice?"

    "I don't know." The housekeeper said with difficulty. "When the sacrifice was made, no one else would be present except the lady and the sacrifice. We were never allowed to know the details of the sacrifice ceremony."

    "She didn't lie." Wang Teddy shook the green lie detector tool in his hand and said.

    Xiao Lan continued to ask questions of her own interest: "Do you know Annie?"

    The housekeeper said: "She is Mrs. Bella's sister, but I have not seen her. She died before I entered the manor to work."

    Xiao Lan: "How long have you been in the manor?"

    The housekeeper replied, "Thirty years."

    Xiao Lan: "Is there anyone here who is older than you?"

    Housekeeper: "No, there was no servant here when I came to the manor, and all the servants came in to work under my arrangement."

    "Then do you know about Mrs. Bella's husband?" Xiao Lan asked.

    The housekeeper replied in a self-defeating manner: "I know, Madam used to have a husband. His name was Edmund. He disappeared more than 20 years ago. Before he disappeared, he often stayed in the piano room all day and never came out, and he hardly got along with him. See you ma'am."

    Xiao Lan: "Have you met other members of this family?"

    Housekeeper: "No, since I came here, there has been only Mrs. Bella alone."

    It seems that the only person who is most likely to know the truth of the year is the missing husband, and the other servants who may know the truth are either sacrificed or later disposed of by Mrs. Bella.

    The key to leaving the manor is probably this Edmund.

    Xiao Lan stood up: "The last question, where is the piano room."

    The housekeeper was almost numb from being stepped on: "The third floor, the room at the end of the east, has been sealed up now."

    Seeing that Xiao Lan had finished asking the question, Wang Ke moved his foot away and gave Wang Teddy a look.

    Wang Teddy understood in seconds, and took out a long conch-shaped prop. He tapped on the prop, and the voice of the housekeeper came from inside: "Tomorrow is the night of the full moon, then... madam..."

    The housekeeper's eyes suddenly widened: "This, this... you!!"

    Wang Teddy shook the conch in his hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate, ma'am. You don't want to know what Mrs. Bella's expression will be when she hears this, right?"

    The housekeeper's voice trembled: "I won't say it, I'll say it."

    She just sat on the ground like this, watching these unreasonable bastards go away, and even the smiling, handsome, and most polite-looking guy took all the floor plans of the manor on her table.

    Simply unbelievable.

    A few people left the housekeeper's room and headed towards the piano room. For Baoluo's sake, they took out the floor plan of the manor just brought from the housekeeper for comparison. They went over after confirming that they were correct.

    Now that Mrs. Bella's purpose is clear, and Mrs. Bella is not yet in the manor, players don't need to continue to maintain normal behavior in front of the maid. Anyway, everyone will tear their faces tomorrow night.

    Of course, it's better not to be seen.

    Xiao Lan raised her hand and knocked out a maid in the corner.

    Wang Teddy was lying: "Didn't you just say that it's better for us to sneak in?"

    Xiao Lan dragged the maid to an inconspicuous position to hide: "Isn't it perfect stealth to get rid of everyone you see? This is called physical invisibility."

    Wang Teddy: "..."

    This rude way of infiltrating, I think you are better than blue.

    He turned his head and asked Luo again, "You... don't you have any objections?"

    Luo showed a gentle and elegant smile and replied, "Huh? Is there any problem?"

    Wang Teddy had a loveless expression: "No... It's good, just as good as my brother."

    When they came to the location that was originally the piano room, as expected, there was a gorgeous wall. Several people opened the door and entered it again according to the previous method.

    The piano room was as dusty as Anne's room.

    It seems that both rooms have been closed for a long time, and I am afraid that this place was closed soon after the disappearance of Mr. Edmund.

    The piano room is still gorgeous.

    Graceful and ingenious crystal lamps hang from the ceiling, and the fine craftsmanship of the time looms over the dusty carpet. The exquisitely crafted piano is placed in the center of the piano room, and there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing the piano. Although it is now blocked by heavy curtains, at that time, the piano player would definitely be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window as soon as he raised his head.

    There are also sofas and a clock not far away, and there is a beautiful vase on the table with a large bouquet of roses that have withered for a long time.

    This was supposed to be a room where players felt happy and comfortable.

    Wang Teddy looked at the piano and said excitedly: "According to my previous experience when playing games at home, this kind of piano usually appears in puzzle games. As long as you play it as required, you will definitely get clues."

    Xiao Lan wondered: "This is illogical."

    Wang Teddy shrugged: "As long as it fits the logic of the game, we'll look around, maybe we'll find some music scores or a note with a password written on it."

    As a pauper who didn't have time to play games, Xiao Lan couldn't understand Wang Taidi's excitement.

    But he still searched around. After all, whether or not he needed to play the piano in the end, he had to search this room anyway.

    After a while, Luo came over with a yellow and brittle sheet of paper between his fingertips. He handed the sheet of paper to the others: "Look at this."

    Xiao Lan looked at the fragile piece of paper and found that it was really a musical score, or a handwritten staff.

    Wang Teddy jumped up happily: "Look! My game is not for nothing, hahahahahahahaha."

    "Look at me." He stretched out his hand and took the staff, ran to the piano excitedly, sat down on his butt regardless of the ash on the piano bench, opened the lid, and started debugging the piano.

    This piano was originally supposed to be very expensive, and after more than 20 years of closure, it could barely play, but the sound quality is definitely not as good as it used to be.

    After that, Wang Teddy looked at the score and played it, and have to say that the posture looked very standard.

    It's just... Although Wang Teddy's keys are all pressed correctly, is it an insult to the composer to call this thing a piano piece? Xiao Lan is sure that this is definitely not the fault of the piano's aging.

    As expected, nothing in the room has changed.

    Wang Teddy scratched his head: "There must be something wrong."

    Wang Ke opened his mouth to lift his silly younger brother's bottom: "Have you forgotten how your piano lessons came about when you were young?"

    Wang Teddy: "..."

    At this time, Wang Teddy suddenly understood that his brother wanted to kill his relatives righteously every day.

    Life is not easy, Teddy sighs.

    Wang Teddy looked at his brother and changed the subject: "Brother, do you know anyone who can play?"

    Wang Ke looked at the piano with bitterness and hatred, as if he was about to cut it with a knife: "Qining can play, but when that guy enters the game, he can't find anyone."

    Xiao Lan pondered: "I always feel that playing the piano may not be the necessary way to obtain clues. If all the players who enter this game can't play the piano, won't they all be wiped out?"

    "That's right..." The little flame of the puzzle-solving game in Wang Teddy's heart went out with a snort.

    Several people continued to search for clues in the room.

    When Xiao Lan inspected the one-person-high desk clock in the room, he found that there seemed to be something inside. He stretched out his hand and opened the glass of the desk clock.

    There is a portrait quietly placed inside the clock, and even because of the protection of the clock, there is no dust on the picture.

    Xiao Lan took out the portrait. It was a handsome blond man with ocean-like blue eyes. He was wearing a decent dress, his hair was meticulously combed, and there was an aristocratic elegance and restraint in his gestures.

    On the back of the portrait is written - Edmund.

    This is actually Mrs. Bella's husband!

    Wang Teddy pointed to the portrait: "Did this guy owe 50 billion foreign debts and was packaged and sold by creditors!!"

    Xiao Lan looked longingly: "I really want to know how he did it."

    Wang Teddy was shocked: "You also want to marry this kind of..."

    Xiao Lan said seriously: "No, I want to owe 50 billion."

    Wang Teddy: "???"

    What otherworldly dream is this?
