Chapter 16 Blood Moon Night (XVI)

"From the looks of it, this headband should have belonged to the first maid in the castle."

The maid in front of him carefully looked at the hairband in Nan Huan's hand and gave a positive answer.

"So where is she now?"

Although Nan Huan already knew that the first maid was gone, he still pretended to be ignorant and asked.

Cui Zhongming, who was standing by, roughly understood what she meant and did not interrupt.

After Nan Huan finished explaining things to Xiao Xue and the others, when he was about to question the maid, he did not forget Cui Zhongming. After all, the task was to be done by two people together.

"I don't know for sure, but it seems that she disappeared not long after the doctor came to the castle."

The maid tilted her head, as if recalling something, and after a while she added, "It's just like everyone else, nothing special."

Nan Huan noticed several key points in her words, "after the doctor came", "disappeared".

"Others? Who are you referring to?"

Nan Huan complained about this game in his heart. Since he was going to give clues, he might as well say it directly.

This method of squeezing toothpaste requires players to cooperate with role-playing and answer questions one by one, which makes Nan Huan uncomfortable.

"It's just the others."

The maid tilted her head and looked at Nan Huan with confused eyes, as if she was the one who was making trouble.

Then Nan Huan and Cui Zhongming asked a lot of questions in succession, trying to pry more information out of the maid.

However, it has no substantial effect. Once the question goes beyond the limit, the other party will politely answer that she doesn't know. If you ask more deeply, she will just repeat the previous answer, like an emotionless tape recorder.

"We've been busy for half a day, and we only got news that the other party is a maid. Isn't this nonsense? We knew this news before we started the mission."

Cui Zhongming couldn't help it, he originally thought there would be some big clues, but ended up listening to a bunch of nonsense. Not only did he work for a long time, but he was also implicated by Nan Huan, who spoke in a bad tone.

"I'm tired and I'm going back to my room to rest. You can ask slowly."

Seeing that he couldn't get any information here, Cui Zhongming simply gave up and went upstairs without waiting for Nan Huan's reaction.

Although Nan Huan was cursing the dog game in his heart, he was much more stable than Cui Zhongming.

She waited until she was sure that Cui Zhongming had really returned to his room to rest before she turned around and spoke with a smile.

"You asked us to clean the room before, why did we only clean the doctor's room? What about the rooms of the castle owner and the housekeeper? Don't they need to be cleaned?"

Nan Huan had discovered before that if her questions had nothing to do with the maid, the other party would not be able to explain clearly, so she thought about it for a long time and asked in a roundabout way.

Sure enough, after this was said, the maid seemed not to have expected it, but this problem was not unrelated to her.

There was a hint of doubt on his originally expressionless face.

"The room of the castle owner is usually cleaned at night, even if the owner is out."

The other party hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

This answer was completely beyond Nan Huan's expectations. She actually wanted to ask the housekeeper, but she didn't want to be too obvious, so she added the owner of the castle.

After all, although the owner went away for a long trip, the room still needed to be cleaned. But unexpectedly, I got a clue unexpectedly.

“Why do we have to clean at night?”

"No reason, I always clean at night."

Well, I just got a clue, and then I'm back to square one.

Nan Huan learned his lesson this time. When the other party asked him to go around in circles, he simply gave up and asked the question that concerned him most.

"What about the housekeeper's room? Has it been cleaned today?"

As soon as the words fell, Nan Huan waited for the other party to speak with great anticipation.

As a result, the maid who had been answering questions just now suddenly froze in place for some reason, as if she had not heard Nan Huan's questions.

"Miss, if you don't have any other questions, I'll be busy now."

After about ten seconds, the maid returned to normal, bowed to Nan Huan, and went straight into the kitchen.

Nan Huan chased after her half a beat late, but when he turned a corner, he found that the maid had disappeared.

She knew it must be because of the game, so she stopped looking, but she became more confused.

Nan Huan didn't get any more clues from the maid, but only some messy clues, so he went to the basement again.

Nan Huan was not clear about the battle situation in the wine cellar in the afternoon, but based on the game mechanism, she guessed that it would not be one-sided, and at most they were evenly matched.

"I have something to ask you. Can you come out on your own? Or do you need me to give you a drop of blood?"

Nan Huan walked into the wine cellar with familiarity. Liang Yu, who had disappeared for an afternoon, knocked on Cui Zhongming's door while no one was paying attention.

Thinking of Chi Zi's reaction to his blood in the morning, Nan Huan still asked in advance.

Maybe it was because her blood left a fresh impression on the pool and hair. As soon as Nan Huan finished speaking, there was movement in the wine cellar, and a dark shadow behind the wine barrel rack became faintly visible.

But Nan Huan noticed that their color seemed to become a little more transparent, and many of them looked listless, as if they had suffered some serious injury.

The hair in the pool was no longer as flexible and wild as before. It looked like eggplants hit by frost, lifeless.

"Are you injured?"

Nan Huan was a little surprised. She thought the clever idea she came up with in the afternoon should be very safe, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

After she asked, the hair in the pool began to move.

However, both the amplitude and the movements were much smaller than in the morning, and even the color of the hair was not as shiny as before.

"It doesn't count."

After shaking for a long time, the hair finally formed three words.

"Those hearts are controlled by witches after all, and they were activated because of the game settings. They should have been stronger, but I tricked them. Since you agreed to help, you should be restricted, right?"

With just three words, Nan Huan figured it out. She used her skills to exploit a loophole in the game, which was equivalent to diverting trouble to others and causing the NPCs in the game to fight among themselves. However, the afternoon was a game of hide-and-seek, which was the home ground of the voodoo doll, so the system must have restricted the abilities of the maid and the black shadow.

"If I'm right, you should just keep silent."

Nan Huan noticed that her hair trembled several times every time it moved, and knew that she was not in good condition, so he changed to a more concise way of talking.

The maid's hair didn't move for a long time, and Nan Huan knew that he guessed right.

And unexpectedly, Nan Huan saw a number above the hair scattered on the ground.

【bite--

It has been detected that the trust level of the potential target maid has reached 30. Do you want to use the skill "I am the eldest lady"?

Note: This use consumes 50 points, and can make the maid a "general servant" of the lady for ten minutes. During this process, the general servant will obey your orders. 】

A prompt tone sounded, and Nan Huan thought that it might be the cooperation in the afternoon, or what he said, that made the maid trust him.

But she didn't plan to use any skills now. Firstly, she didn't have enough points now, so it would be better to spend them wisely. Secondly, the maid was still imprisoned by the witch. Even if she became an ordinary servant of hers, she might be restrained by many parties.

"I came here to ask you some questions. What exactly did the witch do to you? What was your last wish? Are there any questions you can answer? Pick the ones you can answer. It would be ok if you could give me a clue."

Nan Huan didn't actually hold out much hope for exchanging information with the parties involved. If she hadn't gotten many clues from the maid who had asked them to clean before, she wouldn't have made this trip.

Especially now that she saw that the first maid and the black shadow were not in good condition, she asked two questions that were not easy to answer, and only asked the other party to give her hints or clues within their ability, and not to force it.

It was a long while after she finished speaking, but the maid's hair did not move for a long time. She didn't know whether she was fighting against the system or was restricted by something.

Just when she was about to say that it was okay and that she would look for it herself, her hair finally moved. It moved with great effort, and it had to stop for a long time after each stroke.

After stumbling for several minutes, he could barely make out the three words "Library" on the ground.

"Okay, I understand. I'll look for clues. Don't worry."

Nan Huan stopped while she was ahead and did not continue to dwell on the matter. She knew that this should be the limit. After all, it was a special task in the game and she didn't need to ask all the questions here.

"I have another personal question. If you think you can answer it, then answer it. If you can't, forget it." After asking all the questions about the maid, Nan Huan seemed to remember his own personal affairs. "Do you have any clues for me about the housekeeper?"

She still gave the maid a choice, and this time the maid's hair didn't tremble like before.

After a while, a sentence appeared on the ground, which made Nan Huan open his eyes wide, with surprise on his face.

Cui Zhongming's room on the second floor.

"You want to use me to kill Nan Huan. Don't think I can't see it. Why should I help you?"

Cui Zhongming leaned against the bed, his tone somewhat unhappy.

He originally didn't want to let Liang Yu in at all, but finally he let him in when the other party said he wanted to discuss a business deal. However, he didn't expect the other party to be so shameless and wanted to use him to get rid of Nan Huan.

"She didn't help me, she just took the initiative. I gave the other party a dangerous buff last night, and you saw it, but you didn't warn her. You think she is so generous. Think about Bai Wei's fate. She was just protecting herself."

Liang Yu was not annoyed after hearing the other party's accusations.

"At most I just turned a blind eye. You are the perpetrator. Even if it's your turn next, it won't be mine."

Although Cui Zhongming was implicated by Nanhuan in the afternoon, he still understood this principle.

"But don't forget why you came to this instance. Now a Cheng Yaojin shows up halfway through. I don't think she's a good person. If you keep busy until the end and end up making things difficult for others, it would be better to solve the problem right from the beginning. Wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

Liang Yu was not discouraged and gave another convincing reason.

This time Cui Zhongming did not refuse immediately, but frowned, wondering what he was thinking.

Nan Huan was unaware of the heated discussions going on upstairs. She stood in the wine cellar for a long time. Only when she heard the system prompt all players to go to the first floor for dinner did she absent-mindedly come out of the basement.

As a result, as soon as she walked into the restaurant, she found that the butler who had disappeared for a whole day had reappeared quietly.
