Chapter 271 Maid, why did you bother him if you had nothing to do?
There was a moment of silence at the scene.
The other taskers were originally prepared to stay on the side and watch the fun, but they only saw the somewhat stiff faces of the Earl and his wife. The two of them had been calling Jian Yue "dear" all the time and insisting that Jian Yue leave, but now they were all silent.
The Duke's face was especially pale and blue, and his momentum was a little weaker.
The Duke thought, it's over, how come this person knew about his little thing? If his wife knew about it, wouldn't she tear him apart? !
The lady thought, it's over, how come this person knew about her affair with the maid? If the Duke knew about this, wouldn't he punish her? !
The maid thought, it's over, how could this person know about her little affair with the Duke and the Duchess? If the Duke and the Duchess knew about this, wouldn't they tear her apart?
The three people each have their own ulterior motives.
They all looked at Jian Yue, thinking that this man was too dangerous and they must not let him live!
As a result, this idea just came up.
Jian Yue looked at the faces of these three people and thought to himself, this is so exciting. With such exciting news, your ghost circle will surely prosper. Why don't you want someone like me who looks smart to join the castle? It turns out that you are afraid that your ulterior motives may be easily exposed if someone smart finds out.
very good!
If he couldn't get this job, he didn't care whether he lived or died, he just wanted the Duke and the other two to die with him!!
This idea just came to mind.
The Duke's whole countenance changed.
As soon as Jian Yue opened his mouth, he was ready to attack. He said, "Your Excellency the Duke, what you just said about me being too smart is not a good thing. I think..."
The Duke was visibly panicking. He raised his hand, obviously trying to stop Jane from saying, "Shut up quickly and don't tell anyone." He coughed lightly, and the originally serious man smiled: "Although this is the case, but then again, our manor is lacking such capable people recently. Some stupid slaves are really too stupid. This is not easy to deal with, right, ma'am?"
Originally, the Duchess wanted to refute.
A pair of eyes on Jian Yue.
The Duchess' pale face changed instantly. The audience actually knew more about this devil town than Jian Yue. After all, they were the ones who had been paying close attention to this copy, so naturally they knew more about it. This Duchess was very difficult to deal with, and she liked to eliminate those taskers who looked smarter at the beginning, and then keep those taskers who were obviously more psychologically fragile in the manor and torture them slowly.
But today I met Jian Yue.
The Duchess smiled awkwardly, and then forced a smile and said, "Well... dear, I think you are right. To be honest, I don't like those stupid slaves. They can't even water the flowers in the garden properly."
The Duke immediately said, "Okay, you stay."
The Duchess nodded as well and said, "Yes dear, that is perfect."
Jian Yue seemed not to notice the reluctance of the two people at all. He smiled and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the Duke and Madam. I will definitely cherish this hard-earned opportunity."
The words fell.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The Duke thought to himself, great, he finally escaped. He would keep the person and torture him slowly!
The Duchess thought to herself, great, she finally got away with it. Even if the person stayed, he still couldn't escape her control!
Jian Yue thought to himself, great, I finally completed the mission. If you keep me here, you will have a hard time!
The three people who seem to be getting along very harmoniously may have their own ulterior motives in their hearts, but they still force themselves to act very harmonious. People who don’t know may think this is a very considerate manor!
Seeing that the matter was over, the maid stepped forward and said, "Since the people have been selected, sir, do you want to take them to the back?"
The Duke nodded and said, "Teach them the rules. I don't want to leave some disobedient slaves behind."
The maid said expressionlessly, "Yes."
No one knew what this castle was all about.
Only the maid walked in front and everyone else followed. There were more than a dozen people in total, and two of them were eliminated and not selected. When they heard that they would be sent to the countryside, the two taskers were horrified and cried and shouted. The maid impatiently asked other servants in the castle to drag them away.
They were pulled out through the door.
Everyone looked towards the door. They didn't know when the whole town was covered by a layer of white fog. This layer of fog made it difficult to see what was inside. What concerned Jian Yue more was that there seemed to be vague shadows moving in the fog.
"Don't look at things you shouldn't look at." The maid's voice came eerily, "Especially at night, don't leave the manor at will. Without the Duke's summons, you are not allowed to leave your room. If anyone violates this rule, they will be kicked out of the castle!"
Everyone was a little afraid.
It’s impossible to see what’s inside the fog, which makes it even more frightening. What will happen if you are driven into the fog?
Nobody knows.
But it won't be a good thing.
Jian Yue and the others followed the maid to the back of the castle. There were basically no people in the castle, but for some reason, they always felt that there was a chill all around, as if they were being secretly watched by some invisible people or things.
Turn the corner.
There are rows of rooms, and the rooms are like tombs, with no windows, only doors.
The maid stood there, her face like a ghost in the dim light of the corridor, and whispered, "We are here. This is your room. Before twelve o'clock, everyone must recite a thanksgiving to the Lord God."
then.
The maid took out a booklet from somewhere and began to read the words on it. The words were very tongue-twisting and sounded like an evil ballad. She sang in a low voice and said to the people in front of her, "Recite with me. Anyone who disrespects the Lord God will be punished!"
Everyone didn't want to stop at first, but after being frightened, they could only recite along reluctantly.
Jian Yue also recited it again.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the maid was staring at him sinisterly. But it didn't matter. There were so many such gazes in secret anyway, so one more or one less didn't matter.
After she finished reading, the maid took out a lot of manuals from somewhere, asked everyone to hold them in their hands, and said: "This is the prayer for the Lord God. You must read it carefully and remember it, otherwise..."
She didn't say the rest, but just continued to sneer.
Everyone just felt goosebumps all over their body.
The booklet in hand was cold, and some people felt it was icy when holding it, but they didn't dare to throw it away.
The maid said, "Okay, come with me now and have dinner, then rest after dinner."
Everyone then noticed that next to these small black rooms, there was actually a slightly larger house. When they walked in, they saw the table filled with food. However, what was surprising was that all the food was meat. At first glance, it was all meat, bright red. There was so much meat, some of it even had blood in it, and it was impossible to tell what kind of meat it was.
There was a strange smell in the house.
The maid whispered, "Eat quickly."
Everyone sat down one after another, and the maid stood by and watched. A girl opposite Jian Yue was stared at as she picked up the knife and fork on the plate. Her hands were shaking so much that she kept hitting the fork on the plate.
Others are not much better.
There was a boy opposite with a pale face. Just by looking at the red meat on the table, he actually made a vomiting expression and squatted on the ground to vomit acid!
Seeing his reaction, everyone's face changed and they subconsciously looked at the maid, because from the beginning the maid had shown too much authority, and at this moment, people were afraid that she would suddenly get angry.
However.
The maid just watched coldly, and even sneered after seeing the man's performance. She slowly said: "If you don't eat, you won't be able to eat later."
This sentence is very interesting.
You can understand it any way you want.
But everyone was still a little worried, after all, the meat looked like it came from an unknown source...
Just when everyone was struggling, someone took the lead in breaking the tangle. Jian Yue had already picked up the knife and fork and started to stuff the meat into his mouth. While eating, he was in a good mood and said to the maid: "This beef is not bad. Can you give me well-done next time? I like it."
Everyone: “…”
Maid: “…”
Perhaps she didn't expect that someone would be in the mood to comment on the doneness of the meat at this time. If there hadn't been someone present, the maid would probably have started to get angry.
She looked at Jian Yue coldly and said, "Low-class slaves are not qualified to make demands!"
Jian Yue: "Is it possible to get a promotion? That's great. Thank you for your encouragement. I will work hard."
Maid: “…”
Who encouraged him?
Where did this weird workplace roll king come from? !
However, after Jian Yue's commotion, the other taskers, especially the newcomers who were on the verge of collapse, calmed down a little. It was bad enough that they entered this horrible place inexplicably, and they had to eat meat of unknown origin. But now that they knew it was beef, they felt a little better.
So everyone picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Jian Yue quietly looked around at everyone, taking in their reactions. He was a forensic doctor and was of course familiar with the structure of meat. He recognized at first sight that this was definitely animal meat. He spoke on purpose, of course. The situation was unclear now, and if the newcomer brought disaster upon himself, it would not do them any good.
Everyone finished their meal one after another.
The maid was very satisfied that they had all finished their meal obediently. She seemed to have more patience with these obedient slaves, and then she took out her usual threat: "Everyone must read your booklet carefully before going to bed and pray to God. Otherwise, the Lord God will punish everyone who is not attentive!"
After saying this, she finally left.
Everyone could only return to their residence according to their memory. In the process, they had to walk through a corridor. When they were walking through the corridor, someone in front of them said, "Do you think this corridor seems to be darker than before... and I always feel a chill on my back..."
Everyone remained silent, and even occasionally some low sobbing sounds could be heard.
Jian Yue's voice came from the corner: "It's getting darker because it's getting darker. Is it possible that the chill on your back is because your clothes are wet with cold sweat? Why don't you try changing clothes?"
Everyone: “…”
The audience in the live broadcast room were also immersed in it, and they almost died of laughter when they heard this:
"Butler Wang, you..."
"I'm amazed at how someone could be so abstract in a horror dungeon."
"First time watching the anchor, is he always like this?"
"Hahahaha it has to be Butler Wang, just watch his live broadcast room, there's not a word his teammates like to hear!"
Everyone started to assign rooms.
After all, the maid wasn't there either, so they could get a room for themselves.
Jian Yue looked around and saw that each room had four beds without any names written on them. He probably thought that everyone could allocate the beds themselves. He thought that since there was no difference, then it would be fine to sleep in any bed, so he just randomly entered a room.
A few people followed behind him.
Jian Yue turned around and saw a man with a buzz cut sharing the room with him. There was also a chubby man next to him, wearing a big gold watch and chain. The buzz cut man was the first to say to Jian Yue, "Can I live here?"
"Please do as you like." Jian Yue said.
The man with the crew cut turned to the chubby man and said, "Mr. Zhao, please sleep here with me."
Jian Yue was a little curious. It was the first time he saw two taskers having such a relationship in a copy.
Seeing Jian Yue looking at him, the man with the crew cut said, "This is my boss in the real world. We entered the dungeon together. Later, Mr. Zhao helped me a lot, so we kept entering the dungeon together. I have to take good care of him."
Jian Yue nodded and said, "I see."
It's really unique that you can be so nice to the boss even after entering the dungeon.
Mr. Zhao sat down on the bed and said, "Why did we enter this crappy dungeon again? Xiao Li, just protect me. When we get out, I will definitely get some benefits from you!"
The man with a crew cut smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, I will."
Jian Yue finally found out that these two actually had an employment relationship based on profit. He didn't expect that in the nightmare world, he was the only one who couldn't think of it, and there was nothing these people couldn't do.
A group of people were talking.
A handsome boy walked in from outside. He stood at the door and asked hesitantly, "Are there any empty beds here?"
Jian Yue pointed above himself: "There is another one."
The boy came in and said, "Thank you."
He walked in, followed by a little girl in a skirt. The little girl smiled sweetly at Jian Yue and others.
Jian Yue said: "Your sister?"
The handsome boy turned around and said, "Oh, no, this is my summoning card. She is my summoned creature Chia. My health is not good, so Chia often takes care of me."
It was the first time that Jian Yue saw a creature summoned by a summoning card, and it looked exactly like a living person!
Qia's gaze also fell on Jian Yue. For some reason, Jian Yue felt that the way she looked at him was very strange. It was not the kind of simple curiosity, but a stare.
After a moment.
Qia actually ran to Jian Yue's side. The girl moved closer and sniffed Jian Yue's body with her nose. She said softly, "How strange..."
Jian Yue was stunned.
The boy asked anxiously, "Qia, what are you doing?"
The summoned creature was dragged over by the boy, and he quickly said to Jian Yue: "I'm sorry, Qiyaya would never be so rude before, she... I don't know why..."
Jian Yue looked at Qia, and Qia looked at Jian Yue and smiled. That smile seemed as if he knew something, but he tacitly didn't say it out loud, which made Jian Yue inexplicably concerned.
But it will be very quick.
Boss Zhao's words jumped out. He licked his lips and said with a smile: "This summoning card is really interesting, little brother, your card is really good. Are you interested..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
The man with the short hair hit him to stop him, and he smiled to everyone, "My boss is joking."
Chia frowned. She was a summoner of living spirits, but she could also sense human emotions. She really didn't like the feeling this person gave her.
The handsome little boy quickly said, "Qiyaya, go back to Cali. I can do it myself."
Qia shook her head. Just as she was about to say something, the boy had already used the card to take the person back. When he took her back, he couldn't stop coughing. His whole back was shaking and his face was red from coughing.
Jian Yue was right beside him, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Are you okay?"
The boy shook his head.
Jian Yue simply went to the side and got a glass of water, handed it to him and said, "Are you in such poor health?"
The boy finally recovered and said, "Well, I was born with a bad heart. Sometimes I can't breathe after doing some strenuous exercise. That's why Chia is always by my side to take care of me. But every time I use a card, it consumes my energy, so it gets worse."
Seeing that his lips were a little pale, Jian Yue said, "Then you should actually use fewer cards."
The boy smiled and said, "I am in poor health and won't live long. While I am still alive, I always want my cards to see more of this world."
It was clearly a simple sentence, but it made Jian Yue freeze.
It was like an electric current passed through his body and his brain went blank for a moment. It was like some images flashed through his head, but they were too fast for him to catch.
It's like...
He had heard such words somewhere long, long ago.
The boy looked at Jian Yue with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jian Yue came back to his senses, chuckled and said, "Nothing."
The boy said, "My name is Yang Ming, nice to meet you."
"Just call me... Xiao Wang." Jian Yue said, "Then you can sleep on the lower bunk. You are not in good health and cannot climb high. I can sleep on the upper bunk."
The boy quickly said, "No, no, I don't want to trouble you, I'll be fine in a short time."
Yang Ming kept insisting, and Jian Yue couldn't persuade him, so he simply gave up. But later, Jian Yue saw that the boy was indeed in very poor health. He would pant and cough slightly just by climbing into bed or washing himself.
Boss Zhao, who was not far away, muttered unhappily, "What a disappointment, meeting such a sickly person..."
The crew-haired man quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, okay, we'll just sleep here for one night and we'll change rooms tomorrow."
There was an awkward expression on Yang Ming's face, but it soon faded away. He seemed to have been used to this. He shook his head to Jian Yue to express that he was fine, and then went to sleep.
The crew-haired man said, "Before entering this instance, we looked up some historical data about this instance. This instance is called Demon Town. In this town, there are demons that lean over people and kill them. Especially at night, demons will randomly appear to take people's lives. Everyone must go to bed early at night, so that they can be safer."
Boss Zhao went to close the door and said in a somewhat horrified tone, "Look outside."
Everyone looked towards the door. There was a thick layer of white fog outside. From time to time, some black shadows flashed through the fog, as if there were twisted monsters inside that were looming and would pounce on them in the next second.
Boss Zhao slammed the door shut.
The man who had been so arrogant just now was now pale in the face, gasping for breath with his big belly bulging, and his legs were shaking.
The man with the crew cut said, "Go to sleep, go to sleep early. There won't be a big killing spree on the first night of the new dungeon, so it's better to go to sleep early."
No one knew whether it was true or not, but sleeping was indeed an important thing, so after washing up, everyone lay down. Jian Yue didn't sleep well, especially when there were other people in the room.
After finally falling asleep in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in my ears.
His hearing has always been very good, so he woke up immediately. From the moment he regained consciousness, almost all the rustling sounds in the house stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became deathly silent.
Jian Yue didn't dare to bet whether it was just his illusion that there was a sound in the room, or whether there was really one now. In this stalemate, it seemed as if the noise was really an illusion.
Suddenly, a gentle laugh came from my ear, eerie and hoarse. The voice seemed to be right next to my ear, and it said slowly, "I know you are awake."
Jian Yue suddenly opened his eyes.
He turned and dodged.
There were knife marks on the place where he had just lain. Standing beside his bed was a figure wearing a black robe. The whole body was long and twisted. She held a long machete in her hand. She looked at Jian Yue with scarlet eyebrows and eyes. There were fangs at the corners of her mouth when she smiled. She licked her lips and tongue, as if staring at prey. The tongue was several inches long.
She had horns on her head, very long, like devil's horns.
"Mr. Maid?" Jian Yue recognized her and asked, "What are you doing by my bed so late at night?"
He quickly glanced at the others; they were all asleep and didn't seem to react to the noise here.
The maid said expressionlessly: "I will check all those who are disrespectful to the Lord God. Now recite the evening prayer again. If you are wrong, the master's castle cannot keep such people..."
Jian Yue said: "Prayer?"
It's that booklet.
He quickly took the prayer out of his pocket.
When he took it out, all the viewers in the live broadcast room were nervous:
"Don't read it!"
"This thing is a death warrant!"
"If you read it, you'll meet the conditions for killing!"
"THIS IS THE WORD TO SUMMON THE DEVIL!!"
This is simply a dilemma, and it is also the biggest difficulty of this copy. The killing conditions in this copy are very loose, and players will fall into the trap without realizing it.
The moment Jian Yue opened the booklet, the maid also smiled happily. Her eyes were bright in the darkness, as if she was looking at her prey, which could not escape, could not escape...
Who knows——
Jian Yue looked at it for a long time but still didn't read it.
The maid urged impatiently, "Why aren't you reading yet? Do you want to disrespect the Lord God?!"
You know, if you admit it, it will also meet the conditions for killing. The maid's mouth curled up into a bloodthirsty smile. This is almost a situation of certain death. No matter what Jian Yue answered, she could...
result.
The next second, the person in front of him looked up, and Jian Yue said, "It's not that I want to be disrespectful to the Lord God, it's mainly because... there are too many words on this booklet, and I don't know how to pronounce some of them!"
Maid: “…”
At the moment when the maid was silent.
Jian Yue actually handed the booklet to her and said with a smile: "Why don't you read it to me first."
The maid was stunned. If she read this word at night, the devil would come and kill her. How could she read it?
As a result, before she could react.
Jian Yue's expression changed and he asked, "Why don't you recite it? Do you want to be disrespectful to the Lord God?"
Maid:? !!
The originally nervous audience in the live broadcast room couldn't hold back their nervousness after seeing this expression:
“Ahahahahaha!”
"It's the opposite of Tian Gang!"
"Butler Wang, how did you manage to put the blame on the ghosts?"
"Maid, why did you bother him when you had nothing to do?!"
