Mrs. Ma was not upset and blew him a kiss before twisting her waist and walking away.
Back in the room, she couldn't wait to tell Mr. Ma about the incident, and said: "The person named Xu must be a cannibal player, but I don't know if the invitation was sent by He Pu. If it was him, he should
Just stay on our side."
Mr. Ma shook his head, "Not necessarily. If he had sent the invitation, he wouldn't have said nothing when he saw us yesterday."
"Could it be the housekeeper?" Mrs. Ma guessed: "That mute looks a bit powerful. It would be bad if he dug a hole for us."
"He is just the housekeeper. If he disagrees with Hope and is so powerful that he kills the invited guests and the host can't do anything about him, then he should be the master here. How can Hope still be alive now?" Mr. Ma said.
"Then are they working together or are they doing their own thing?" Mrs. Ma was a little confused. "When I bought the invitation, I said it was saying there was good stuff here, but now it seems that's not the case at all. How about we go?
, how about finding a way to get the ticket somewhere else?”
Mr. Ma's face darkened, "We have made one less dungeon. If we don't have the ticket, the danger level of the dungeon that will be forcibly transported in two months will be higher. What's the difference between that and death? Compared with those high-risk dungeons, this
It’s just a D-level copy, it’s nothing!”
"Besides, there is danger in entering any dungeon. Even if all the people in the castle are cannibals, it doesn't mean they will help us. In short, don't trust anyone and act according to the situation."
The Ma and his wife were made more aware of the crisis by Xu Huo's specious hint. They did not show up all afternoon. Xu Huo also closed the door and checked the inside and outside of the room.
There are no secret passages, surveillance or walls, but the circuits are seriously aged and there are traces of repairs in many places. However, every decoration and layout has been kept spotless, and it can be seen that they are cared for very much.
Although the castle is large, there are not many places to hide corpses.
The garden is cleaned every day, and this morning a servant came to prune the flowers after contacting the gardener for a week. Since outsiders often come here, this is not a place where corpses are hidden.
The same goes for botanical gardens.
The rest is the main building of the castle above the third floor, the garden maze, and the annex behind the maze.
Of these three places, the third floor is occupied by Hope, and the maze and castle ruins are currently only visited by Mr. Dong according to the servant.
The servant said that the butler cannot send out invitations without asking the owner. This information cannot be confirmed for the time being, because the invitations come in two formats. On the surface, the butler cannot send out invitations, but privately, it is not necessarily the case. It is the butler who receives the guests. See
He was also the one who received the invitation.
Of course, this does not mean that He Pu is not suspicious. Regardless of whether he met Ma and his wife alone for the purpose of sending invitations or deliberately causing trouble for players, this person will obviously take the initiative to participate in the dungeon.
Thinking of the eyes that secretly peered at him from the window last night, Xu Huo picked up the Umbrella of Justice and released the body of the woman in the cheongsam, tearing off half of the skin she was wearing and stuffing it into the cabinet.
"Mr. Xu," the servant knocked on the door, "Mr. Dong asked me to give you a dinner dress."
Xu Huo opened the door, and Wei Lan Deng in the next room happened to be getting his dress. He smiled and nodded to him. Wei Lan Deng's face was pale and seemed a little listless. She said hello perfunctorily and returned to the room.
The dinner party started soon. Xu Huo changed into a dress and took an umbrella to the restaurant on the first floor. Other players also arrived. Everyone was wearing decent dresses, suits for men and long skirts for women.
He took the first seat on the right. To his right was the long-haired girl Wei Lan Deng, and opposite to him were Mr. and Mrs. Ma. The four of them were closest to the empty main seat.
To the right of Wei Landeng are the dark-faced man You Qiwen, the handsome young man Liu Zhengping, the twin brothers Chen Tu and Chen Nan, and to the left of Mrs. Ma are the baby-faced Yu Shuai, the strong man Li Chao, the gentle-looking female gamer Fang Min and the tall and thin middle-aged man Fry.
"After eating, I have to shower and change clothes, and I have to go to the grave." Liu Zhengping tugged on his tie impatiently, his behavior inconsistent with his appearance.
"Liu Zhengping, have you ever watched the TV series? You can't survive the second episode like this." Fang Min joked.
"It's none of your business!" Liu Zhengping was in a bad mood.
"It's just a meal, don't be so nervous," Yu Shuai said with a smile on his face, "I haven't had an authentic European dinner yet."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it." Liu Zhengping said lukewarmly.
The expressions of the others changed slightly as they smelled the rich aroma of meat, losing the interest they had a few seconds ago.
"But I guess some people will be very happy after eating." Fang Min glanced at Xu Huo and the couple named Ma.
Mrs. Ma and Mr. Ma completely lost the relaxation and casualness they had during breakfast, and glanced at her coldly. Xu Huo was not looking at him, but at Mr. Dong who was scolding the servant.
The servant broke a water glass.
Although Mr. Dong's voice was not loud, it could be heard by all sides of the table. The silent players quickly turned their attention to that side. Li Chao, who never left his hand while drinking, slapped the glass on the table with a "snap".
"It's not just a cup, what else do you have?"
Mr. Dong looked at him expressionlessly, "Please don't destroy the castle's artifacts."
"Do you still want me to compensate?" Li Chao sneered.
"Chi!" Several lights on the wall flickered and suddenly went out, and the restaurant suddenly fell into darkness. Mr. Dong stood in front of an extinguished lamp and slowly opened his mouth... But at this time, a cough interrupted him
, it came from the stairs.
Mr. Dong immediately directed the servants to check the circuit and change the lights. The servants were also very fast. When the restaurant was bright again, the owner of the castle, He Pu, finally walked down from the third floor with the support of the maid Hu Shan.
"I've kept everyone waiting, please take a seat." Hope looked older and thinner than the portrait in the corridor, and his voice was heavy breathing. After asking the guests to sit down, he took a moment to calm down and then continued: "In recent years, my health has improved.
No, I seldom go out. Thank you all for taking the trouble to come."
Frye said politely: "I heard that Mr. He has collected many rare and rare items. I wonder if we can have a look at them?"
He Pu smiled and said, "Of course. In addition to inviting you to the concert this time, I also want to show you the collection I recently acquired."
"But the third floor has just been painted, and the paint smell hasn't dissipated yet. You can take a look at the scenery of the castle first, and we'll see you again tomorrow."
The players were a little surprised by He Pu's open attitude, but it would be better to go to the third floor openly.
The dinner officially began. After He Pu gave a toast, everyone sat down to eat.
Everyone braced themselves for this dinner. Except for He Pu who commented on the taste of the dishes from time to time, almost no one spoke.
"Bang!" Xu Huo suddenly knocked over the crystal wine glass, and the glass rolled down the dining table and broke into pieces.
