Chapter 216: Vampire Count (VIII)

While Jie Fangcheng was looking for suitable clothes, on the first floor, the count was introducing his castle to his distinguished new friend.

Although this distinguished guest had always been a bit picky, he rarely showed any approval for the castle that the count had built with great care.

The count couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, and he felt that his friend was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.

The discerning distinguished guest even took the initiative to praise: "This castle is really very good. It combines aesthetics and practicality, and is very artistic. Did you design and build it?"

Count Kagel immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes."

After that, Count Kagel smiled mysteriously at him and said, "But this castle is still too simple at the moment. It still lacks the last step - which I think is the most critical step."

As soon as he said this, Luke in front of him showed a look of understanding: "I see."

Count Kagel did not expect that this seemingly young new friend seemed to have made great achievements in architecture.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Luke.

Vampires are suspicious. Although the new friend in front of him behaved very perfectly, for some reason, Count Kager still felt an instinctive suspicion.

Perhaps the other party's performance was too perfect, so perfect that it exceeded Count Kagel's cognition.

So he asked: "My friend, do you also think that the castle is missing a crucial step?"

Luke simply glanced at the players still standing in the garden.

Count Kager met his gaze and smiled, "Ah, my dear friend, you are indeed the perfect vampire. Yes, my castle still lacks some color."

He winked at Luke. “Although these are just lowly humans, their bright red blood can be used as paint for the castle.”

Luke nodded gentlemanly, agreeing very much: "You are right."

Count Kagel felt more and more that he had a very good relationship with this friend.

"My dear friend, there is a very interesting game in the castle tonight, and I can't wait to share it with you." Count Kager was extremely excited. "But now, please be patient. After all, the best food should be saved for the deepest night. Isn't this the consensus of vampires?"

Hearing him say this, Luke also smiled and nodded: "I'm looking forward to it."

"Then let's go to the treasure room first? I promise you that when you see the collection, you will find it as beautiful and precious as I do."

Count Kager invited this friend to the castle on the pretext of discussing with him the value of a rare private collection. It was still far from midnight, and although sunlight was no longer an obstacle for high-level vampires, and only special silverware could kill the vampire Count with a strong regenerative ability, the habits of vampires were there, and night was more comfortable for them.

He could not wait to get on with this distinguished friend by admiring some games at night and some collections during the day.

Luke just nodded dignifiedly.

When the two men reached the stairs, Count Kagel suddenly felt his eyes light up.

A white shadow appeared in the dim castle.

Jie Fangcheng was rummaging through the count's room. The count was a very tall man, despite other things.

After trying on several pieces, Jie Fangcheng felt like a child who had secretly put on adult clothes. It was so horrible.

Until he found this...well, that was also a skirt, but compared to the fluffy rose skirt before, the one he was wearing at least looked more like one for boys. It didn't have such a fluffy and complicated skirt. It was just a simple white skirt, slightly tied up at the waist with a simple white belt.

The neckline and cuffs were decorated with intricate lace and the skirt dragged on the ground. When Jie Fangcheng walked down, she could only hold up the skirt with one hand while she was pushing her long hair back with the other hand.

The count was stunned when he saw him, then frowned and looked him up and down.

This human... I have to say, he is really good-looking.

This skirt was originally prepared for the Countess, and now it fits him very well.

Count Kager was not angry at all. He knew that this lowly human must have searched his room and found the skirt.

"What a scheming and beautiful prey."

Do you really want to be a "Countess"?

Jie Fangcheng had never been evaluated as "scheming". At this moment, he finally turned his gaze away from Luke. He stared at the Count in a daze and pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Are you talking about me?"

The Count once again squinted his eyes and glanced up and down at him, and his look was not very friendly.

Under normal circumstances, the earl would have already flown out, but in front of Professor Zhang, Xie Fangcheng forced himself to hold it back.

The Earl has not forgotten his original purpose.

This guest named Jie Fangcheng indeed had a very beautiful appearance. Count Cagel even wanted to dissect him on the spot to see if his internal organs were as beautiful as before.

But in front of his distinguished friend, Count Cagel first focused his attention on Luke.

"Mr. Luke, let's go to the treasure room first."

Before Luke could say anything, Jie Fangcheng spoke hesitantly, "Ah...you guys are going to the treasure room?"

Count Kager finally frowned.

"Jie Fangcheng, please be aware of your identity!"

Jie Fangcheng acted as if he didn't hear him and looked at Luke.

Luke nodded at him.

Jie Fangcheng miraculously understood what he meant: Leave it to me.

"Well... okay."

Jie Fangcheng hesitated and gave up the stairs, watching Luke and Count Kagel walk upstairs.

Seeing that the two people were about to disappear from his sight, Jie Fangcheng was still worried and simply followed them.

Count Kager is a vampire after all. It would be bad if he went crazy after seeing the current state of the treasure room and hurt Professor Zhang.

He was indeed right in thinking this.

Because when Count Kager saw the treasure room, his eyes widened immediately and he almost went crazy.

"Who!! Who is it!!!"

The treasure room looked as if it had been robbed; his precious collection had been smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

There were still some jewelry, gems and the like left untouched...but how could those ordinary collections compare to his smashed collections?

Just like the human skin model, her skin had to be completely peeled off when the model was in the most pain. Even though Count Kagel was well versed in this, such a perfect collection with almost no flaws was rare! He only had this one!

Moreover! The human skin model was wearing his treasured rose dress. Now the beautiful dress was thrown on the ground like a rag. The red color almost pierced the earl's eyes.

Who is it!

If he knew this, he would definitely tear this man into pieces!

"Calm down, Cagle."

At this moment, Count Kager, who had already spread his wings and was about to flap them to find the murderer, felt someone holding down his shoulders.

He turned his head, and Mr. Luke beside him had red eyes full of helplessness: "As a qualified noble, you should never let anger control your behavior at any time."

Yes... the other party was an elegant gentleman who did not forget to pin a white rose on his chest when chasing the family traitor.

Count Kager took a deep breath and folded up his huge bat wings.

"Excuse me." He nodded to Luke, trying hard to maintain his composure.

But Count Kager's heart was bleeding, and he couldn't help but look at the collection on the ground with a look of pity.

At this moment, he heard his distinguished friend beside him hesitate and comfort him reluctantly: "I know that these collections are of great value to you, and those who damage them are naturally very hateful..."

Count Kagel saw Luke's reluctant expression and his voice was full of uncertainty. It was obvious that to him, these collections that Kagel thought were very valuable were just ordinary things. He obviously couldn't understand why Count Kagel would be angry about such a bunch of ordinary collections.

Although the other person's tone was intimate, as if he was comforting a close friend, his behavior revealed a kind of arrogance that he himself might not even be aware of.

This made Kagel feel uncomfortable for a moment.

He is the most distinguished earl in this town. He used to look down on others from a high position. After he met Luke, he has been vaguely looked down upon by Luke. But the other party was at least more reserved and obscure before.

This time, perhaps because his anger just now was too rude, the new friend's tone and attitude even became hesitant, and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he felt uncomfortable.

Count Cagel was not very happy, but he still managed to save face in front of Mr. Luke.

"These collections are indeed just ordinary things. I don't feel sorry for them. But the people who destroyed my treasure room are so hateful! This is a provocation to me!"

Luke then nodded and said, "Indeed, this man actually broke into the castle while you were away...but doesn't your castle have any guards?"

Kagel was stunned, and Luke immediately understood.

He sighed, "Kagel, you are an open-minded gentleman, but you have to remember that we are nobles. I don't know how many rude little vampires without titles want to rob our wealth. How can your castle be so defenseless? It's like an egg taking off its shell on its own initiative. What a great temptation it is for those wandering little vampires!"

Luke pointed out in a few words the other person responsible for the smashing of the Count's treasure room, and that was the Count himself.

This made the count start to reflect on himself.

He is the only vampire Count in his town, and the rest are ordinary humans.

For humans, hiding from vampires is still acceptable, let alone actively approaching the castle.

Therefore, Count Kager never had guards in the castle before, and he was confident in his own strength.

Unexpectedly, the treasure room of the newly built castle was destroyed so quickly.

So this incident was also his fault because he was not prepared?

Count Kager vaguely felt that something was wrong, but Luke's gentle voice came again.

"I know that you are an aspiring earl. You must not want to set up guards because you don't like having too many other vampires in the castle. Perhaps you would rather keep some humans in captivity? You also met the six knights I brought yesterday. They are knights of the human church."

Count Kagel opened his eyes wide: "Knights of the Holy See?"

Not all humans completely obey the control of vampires. Some humans with special talents have formed the Holy See to resist the rule of vampires.

The human church can be said to be a mortal enemy of vampires. What is the identity of Mr. Luke? His guards are actually knights of the church?

Luke smiled, and his red eyes revealed the malice of a vampire.

"No matter how bright the missionaries are, they all have shadows, and these knights of the Church are no exception. Their strength is not strong, but it is indeed a very pleasant thing to have their 'protection'."

Kagel couldn't agree more.

Is there anything more joyful than seeing the Vatican knights, who would rather die than surrender, having to stay with the vampires and become obedient servants for various reasons?

"I will be returning to my family tomorrow. If you don't mind, I will give you the six knights as a gift to congratulate you on the completion of your castle."

Less than ten minutes had passed since the two of them arrived at the treasure room, and Count Kager's mood was like a roller coaster, from the anger and heartache when he saw the treasure room being smashed to now, this distinguished friend whom he had just met not long ago gave him this great gift.

This made Kagel even forget for a moment that the treasure room had been smashed.

This new friend I have met is so noble and generous!

"This... is such a precious gift..."

"You are a very important friend to me." Luke looked at him seriously, his expression sincere and convincing. "I am also a very important friend to you. Isn't it?"

This time Cagle's smile was genuine.

"Then I won't refuse. Thank you, Mr. Luke."

Jie Fangcheng, who had followed secretly, was stunned as he listened in the corner.

Professor Zhang is really good at deceiving people. Look at Count Kager, he is almost pouring out his heart to him.

Not only that, Jie Fangcheng knew with his toes that Professor Zhang, named "Luke", was not going to give Kagel a gift, but to plant six spies in the castle.

Xie Fangcheng had always been thinking about killing the earl before he left and leaving some property for Professor Zhang.

Now it seems that there is no need for him. The earl has been fooled. If Zhang Daoan wants to, it will be easy to take his life.

It should be said that he is worthy of it.

Jie Fangcheng was relieved.

After all, eavesdropping was not a glorious thing, so Jie Fangcheng went downstairs secretly again.

As soon as he left, Luke interrupted Count Cagel's compliments.

"There's no need to talk about this between friends." Luke smiled, "Perhaps there are other more interesting places in the castle?"

"Oh, yes." Count Kagel finally came to his senses, and he looked ashamed. "Look at me. It is not etiquette to receive guests in such a dirty place. Come on, my dear friend, I will act as a guide and explain to you my ingenious design for this castle."

The two of them walked out the door, chatting and laughing.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, the butler who had been looking for an opportunity finally rushed over.

His forehead was covered in sweat and his face was filled with fear.

Before, Jie Fangcheng went to the Earl's room to find clothes to wear. At that time, the butler wanted to tell the Earl that a remarkable human had sneaked into their castle.

But Jie Fangcheng couldn't find his way in this strange castle. He happened to meet the butler, so he took the butler away. He was also forced to admire how the count's originally clean and tidy room had become extremely messy, as if it had been robbed.

Not only that, Jie Fangcheng also asked him "Does this one look good?" and "Does that one look good?"

What dares the butler say?

Then the guest secretly followed the Count... What on earth was he going to do? He wasn't going to attack by surprise!

The housekeeper was confused and frightened. Jie Fangcheng secretly followed Zhang Daoan upstairs. The housekeeper turned into a bat and secretly hung on the ceiling watching him.

Now that Jie Fangcheng is gone, the housekeeper is in tears.

After he finished speaking, according to the Earl's previous character, he would definitely kill the human without saying a word.

But now, Kagel was in high spirits, and when they were chatting just now, Luke had been hinting to him that his treasure room was smashed by an unknown little vampire.

But the butler told him a completely different answer.

"Who? Jie Fangcheng?"

Count Kager found it unbelievable: "You're telling me that a human broke into my treasure room and smashed my collection?"

These words were completely different from what Luke had said just now. Count Kager couldn't help but reflexively glance at Luke beside him, and saw that Luke, who had always behaved very gentlemanly, frowned and looked at the butler with disgust in his eyes.

He and Count Kager looked at each other, as if they could no longer endure it.

"A qualified steward should not make up a lie to deceive his master in order to avoid the responsibility of protecting the unfavorable situation."

These words were spoken bluntly, and obviously touched the noble vampire's sore spot: "I hate lies and betrayal."

Count Cagel immediately thought of the traitorous vampire that Luke had personally pursued.

So when the butler was still confused, Kagel snorted coldly, stretched out a hand, and strangled the butler's neck.

Luke beside him nodded approvingly: "This is how you should deal with traitors. You are indeed an excellent vampire count."

Oh my God! What a close friend this Luke is!!

Count Cagel almost wanted to cry for their divine friendship.

The two vampires chatted and laughed, and Kager introduced the entire castle to Luke beside him, telling him every detail, even the secret door.

Luke was multitasking, remembering the mechanisms and structures in the castle while thinking about Jie Fangcheng.

Perhaps it was because he realized that he was really "Zhang Siquan" and "Zhang Daoan", after returning home last night, he felt a sense of "fusion" for the first time.

Like a stream that had originally separated finally merged into the sea.

The feeling was very strange, as he clearly knew that he was "Luke" - of course, this was the name he gave himself. He didn't know when he suddenly "traveled" into this body.

He didn't know who he was, but he had a vague memory of being unlocked yesterday.

Border, Don't Answer, Three Thousand Worlds... and Jie Fangcheng.

His memory is incomplete, and many of his memories are fragmented and cannot be connected together. What he mainly has are Zhang Siquan's memories.

Jie Fangcheng is very powerful, but in Zhang Siquan's memory, it is a small world without spiritual energy, and the NPC's strength is not very strong either.

Jie Fangcheng showed great strength in that world without spiritual energy, but what about in this world?

Luke could vaguely sense that Jie Fangcheng's strength was far beyond his imagination, and the earl in front of him might not be strong enough for him to defeat.

But Luke instinctively wanted to clear all obstacles for him and protect him from any danger.

Count Kager was not originally his hunting target, because according to Luke's memory, some people would suddenly appear in this world occasionally, and these people would suddenly disappear one day without leaving any trace.

This castle appeared suddenly. Logically, Count Kager would appear and disappear suddenly just like the others before him.

Their impact on the situation is minimal and does not require any special attention.

Luke's goal is to hunt down higher-level vampires. Obviously, an ordinary count is not within his target.

But if it was for the sake of Jie Fangcheng, then this Kagel was indeed worth dying for.

He planned patiently in his mind.

Count Kager was completely unaware that there were two people in the castle who were planning to kill him.

This evil vampire lord felt only happiness.

Who is Mr. Luke? His erudition and conversation would make any vampire who thinks he is elegant feel ashamed.

I am so lucky to know such a noble! The family behind him must be very powerful. I am just an earl. I don't know if I have the opportunity to enter the vision of such a huge family.

The games tonight must satisfy Mr. Luke!

Count Kager thought so.

Time passed minute by minute, the sun set, and none of the players on the first floor had expected that they would be able to spend the day so peacefully.

The survival copy is not that easy, and this castle is so gloomy and obviously dangerous.

But it was strange that the count, who should have been paying close attention to them, had his entire attention attracted by another NPC... But how could this happen?

In the past, players had to bear all the attention and firepower of the BOSS in the dungeon. But now, NPCs that came from nowhere have become the main focus of the BOSS, and some players can't help but have new speculations.

"The big boss of our dungeon isn't the Earl, but that NPC, right?"

Their guess is actually not wrong from another perspective.

The peace among the crowd lasted until dinner.

Everyone still had their meal in the hall on the first floor, but this time the Earl was not present, and the one who brought the meal was not the butler, but one of the flower slaves seen during the day.

The quality of the food was also very poor, you could see with the naked eye that there was sticky red dirt on the plates.

Thinking about where this mud came from, everyone lost their appetite, but in this kind of dungeon, fighting the BOSS on an empty stomach was not a good choice.

So most of the players endured the nausea and picked out what was edible and ate it.

Only Jie Fangcheng stood up and went towards the kitchen without saying a word after seeing the meal.

Not long after, he really came back with a piece of bread in his mouth.

Everyone looked at him with envy.

This guy is really free in this castle. He is not afraid of encountering NPCs at all. He can go wherever he wants.

But other players did not have his courage. They all followed the steps for fear of making mistakes.

Not long after Jie Fangcheng came back, Donna finished the food on the plate in a trance. She hesitated for a while and finally made up her mind.

"Hello."

Jie Fangcheng looked up at her while chewing bread.

Many players around turned their eyes over, but Donna didn't care.

She took out a book and handed it to Jie Fangcheng.

"I found this."

"Ah." Jie Fangcheng felt a headache when he saw the book, but facing Donna's sincere face, he still reached out and took the book.

After just turning two pages, Jie Fangcheng recognized it.

Isn't this one of the fairy tale books he casually threw aside in the treasure room?

Donna explained: "I think we can get some clues from this fairy tale book about our current situation."

Hearing this, Jie Fangcheng flipped through the pages.

There are not many words in fairy tale books, but more pages of colorful and strange illustrations.

The story told in this book is also very simple.

Once upon a time, in a forest, there was a tall castle.

The castle is tall and majestic, but it is white.

The owner of the castle wanted to invite a great painter to paint the castle with beautiful colors.

He invited eleven painters into the castle, provided each of them with abundant brushes and bright red pigment.

——I want my castle to be gorgeous.

The owner of the castle said so.

Each painter had a different idea. Some said that the castle should be painted with long vines, and the vines should grow all over the castle like snakes; some said that the castle should be painted with burning flames, and the flames should set the whole castle on fire.

Everyone had their own opinions, and the owner of the castle finally decided to let each painter play freely, giving them the greatest freedom, allowing them to design the picture that they are most satisfied with. Finally, the owner of the castle chose the most satisfactory picture to paint on the castle.

So every painter tried his best to present what he thought was the best picture.

On the last page of the fairy tale book, the entire castle was painted bright red.

——The painter who painted such a beautiful picture became the only winner. He was rewarded by the castle owner and left the forest with a generous reward.

The fairy tale book does not tell what happened to the other ten painters. Only in the corner of this bright red castle, ten bright red roses grew.

The fairy tale book seemed to be hinting at something. Apparently, eleven painters were dealing with eleven players.

So the final ending in the fairy tale book is... only one player can leave the dungeon alive?

After experiencing what happened at noon, Donna no longer wanted to make public the clues she found, but she knew Jie Fangcheng was the one who saved her life.

Even though the other party was probably just doing it casually, Donna chose to let him know in advance at this moment.

The clever elf has already guessed the message revealed in this book. In Donna's eyes, this player named Jie Fangcheng must be a veteran who has completed many dungeons and can definitely guess what this clue is telling him.

But after Jie Fangcheng finished flipping through the fairy tale book in his hand, he looked confused: "What does this mean?"

"..." Donna was stunned. The first floor was very quiet at this time. All the players were listening with their ears perked up, wanting to listen to what they were saying.

Donna was unwilling to reveal it, she lowered her voice and said, "The clue is very clear!"

"Ah?" Jie Fangcheng flipped through it again.

He was really not good at analyzing this kind of thing, and at this moment, he was already thinking of going to find Zhang Daoan with the fairy tale book in hand.

Donna was also shocked. Jie Fangcheng looked very confused and it was obvious that he really couldn't understand what she meant.

"..." Donna calmed down and hinted to him, "Look here, 'Everyone has the opportunity to live in the castle...'. Every painter needs to live in the castle they created. In other words, if there is a similar situation later, I think I should consider living in the castle I created..."

Jie Fangcheng didn't understand.

But it was not a big problem, he nodded: "Anyway, it's okay as long as I'm alive?"

"……right."

"That's okay." Jie Fangcheng handed the fairy tale book back to her.

The players around stared at the fairy tale book in Donna's hand. Even Liu He, who was hit by Fang Cheng's stick, looked eager.

This fairy tale book was obviously a hot potato. Donna knew her own strength, so she quickly stuffed the fairy tale book to Fang Cheng, who knew her.

"How about you take this?"

Jie Fangcheng didn't care, but it was not convenient to take the book.

"You don't want it?" After saying that, Jie Fangcheng saw the expectant eyes of the players around him from the corner of his eyes. He simply threw the fairy tale book on the table and said, "Do you want to read it?"

Everyone nodded.

Jie Fangcheng coughed.

"Then... bring the props in exchange!"

In the past, Professor Zhang always took the lead. This was his first time acting alone, and Jie Fangcheng's opening remarks for the robbery were a little awkward.

All the players were stunned.

It's not that I haven't seen robberies before, but they usually involve putting a prop around someone's neck and beating them half to death. This way the robbery is quick and efficient.

There is nothing here yet, and now they are robbing? ?

But the useful-looking fairy tale book was on the table.

While everyone was still hesitating, Fu Chengguang was the first to raise his hand.

"I'll change."

He loudly plotted to kill Jie Fangcheng in the garden, but the other party didn't care.

Fu Chengguang thought he was doomed, but after a whole afternoon of being on guard, he found Jie Fangcheng sitting on a chair at the door, looking up at the upstairs, as if waiting for someone.

This made Fu Chengguang confused about the other party's attitude.

Now that Jie Fangcheng wanted props, he immediately made up his mind.

Fu Chengguang took out a ring from his bag and placed it in front of Fang Cheng.

Jie Fangcheng picked it up and took a look. Although he didn't know whether the ring was good or not, he still looked at its grade.

A D-level item? It seems very expensive.

This guy is quite sincere!

Facing Fu Chengguang's inquiring eyes, Jie Fangcheng nodded: "Let's see."

Fu Chengguang breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party really doesn’t care!

Thinking of this, Fu Chengguang picked up the fairy tale book and began to flip through it quickly.

With his proof, other players soon came over one by one to hand in their items.

For a moment, the first floor was like a library, with people queuing up to borrow books.

The props given by others were all ordinary. After collecting the props, Jie Fangcheng only took the D-level ring and placed the others in front of Donna.

Donna watched him collecting props with the fairy tale book and said nothing.

After all, she was asked if she still wanted it, and it was Donna who refused.

Besides, Jie Fangcheng saved her life. Now that this fairy tale book has been exchanged for so many props, it can be considered that she has repaid him for saving her life, right?

What Donna didn't expect was that after the other party took the props, he wanted to share them with her.

"Ah? No, no." Donna had never thought that something like this would happen, and quickly refused, "You collected all of this, I won't accept it without any merit."

"Hey, take it, it's not a good thing." Jie Fangcheng said this and all the players present looked at him speechlessly.

Donna didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If it weren't for you, I would have died by now."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Jie Fangcheng knew what she was thanking him for. Liu He followed her in hiding, not just to play. Jie Fangcheng exposed his hiding and beat him up, and it was indeed partly because he wanted to save her.

But he never took the favor of saving others seriously. Seeing Donna trying to refuse, Jie Fangcheng stuffed all the props into her arms.

"Don't give up! Save it for dealing with Liu He!"

Donna was a little at a loss.

This feeling is so wonderful. Today I just felt the coldness of the players of this game, and at the same time I felt the tenderness of the players of this game.

Liu He was surprised when Jie Fangcheng called out his name, and then was a little speechless.

Not to mention that he is still injured. Even if he wasn't injured, this big guy has helped the elf once. Liu He is not a fool. How could he possibly attack Donna again?

Seeing that Jie Fangcheng really didn't want it, Donna pursed her lips and thanked him very seriously: "Thank you."

Jie Fangcheng waved his hand.

Just then, the Count's voice came from upstairs.

"…It's really getting late."

The players looked up.

The Count walked in front with a very sweet smile on his face.

"Mr. Luke is truly my confidant. It seems like you will also enjoy the games tonight."

"Oh?" Luke showed an interested look: "I wonder what game it is?"

Count Kager, who had been focusing all his attention on Luke, finally turned his head.

He glanced at all the players present, and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a happy and cruel smile.

"This game is called - Horror Picture Book."

Picture album!

The players immediately thought of the fairy tale book they had just read. It seemed that the clues given in the fairy tale book would be used soon?

Count Cagle explained, "As you can see, my castle is great except for some beautiful colors. The night is perfect, so why don't we go to the garden, sit together, eat delicious snacks, drink bright red wine, and talk about the most impressive and terrifying scenes."

At this point, Count Cagle smiled mysteriously.

"Of course, since this is a game, there must be a winner. Dear beautiful guests, please do your best to describe the most terrifying scene in your heart! The one who I think is the most terrifying will get my reward and become the 'Countess' of the castle."

The playfulness in his eyes was not concealed, and the Count did not forget to remind him maliciously: "Everyone, please note that only one of the eleven guests can become the 'Countess'."
