Master Tianji remained calm.
He simply shouted, "Who's there?"
"It's me." A somewhat familiar voice came from where the firelight appeared, "Butler Liu."
then.
The firelight drew closer.
Butler Liu's figure came into their sight.
"You scared me to death..." the senior brother patted his chest, "Why are you carrying a lantern?"
"What you're doing looks like a classic scene from an old-fashioned horror movie; it's really going to scare you to death..."
"I'm sorry, because it's foggy inside, I can't find a flashlight." Butler Liu stood in front of them, holding a red lantern, his face full of apology.
"My phone is out of battery, and I can't find anywhere to charge it."
"We've found this lantern, so let's use it for now."
Master Tianji looked Liu up and down: "Are you staying in the gray fog willingly, or are you unable to get out?"
After a few seconds of silence, Butler Liu said, "We can't get out."
“I’ve encountered other servants or police officers before, and I even followed them to find the exit.”
"But for some reason, I got separated from them."
"And then I never saw them again."
"I guess they've all gone out, and I'm the only one who hasn't found the exit."
"I thought I was the only one left..."
The senior brother finished speaking.
"Could it be that there are only three of us alive in this huge villa?"
"What do you mean there are only three of us alive?" Master Tianji glared at him. "There aren't any other dead people here, are there?"
Then he asked Steward Liu.
"Did you do something to betray Miss Fifth?"
Butler Liu took a while to answer.
"yes."
“I have done many things that I have wronged Miss Wu.”
He stayed in the Sheng family for more than ten years.
Watching Sheng Ai grow up from a child.
Why did the Sheng family keep changing servants and security guards, but not him?
Of course it's because...
He was a confidant of the Shengshi couple.
He knew what the Sheng couple had done to Sheng Ai...
But he never warned Sheng Ai, nor did he help her...
He was simply carrying out the orders of the Shengshi couple faithfully, without any disloyalty...
Master Tianji didn't press Liu the steward for details about what he had done to offend Sheng Ai; he simply sighed.
"This is retribution."
"Unless Miss Wu is willing to let us out, we will be trapped here indefinitely."
A bitter smile finally appeared on Butler Liu's usually calm face.
"The Taoist priest is right."
"This is our retribution."
Senior Brother: "..."
But he remembers he never cheated Sheng Ai, right?
Why does Sheng Ai also want to trap him?
That's unfair...
That's so unfair...
Time passed little by little.
All three remained silent.
Finally, the senior brother couldn't hold it in any longer and rubbed his arms, saying, "It's so cold, and I'm so hungry."
"Shall we go inside and rest?"
Butler Liu turned his head: "I've been wandering in the fog for a long time, and I've already memorized the route."
"Come with me to the side room."
My senior asked, "Why don't we go into the main building?"
"The main building is so bright and there's no fog. It must be much more comfortable to live in the main building."
He and his master checked it.
Apart from the main building.
The other rooms were also filled with fog, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
After a dozen or so seconds of silence, Butler Liu slowly said, "I can't get into the main building either."
The senior student was speechless.
"You mean you were also excluded from the main building?"
He and his master tried many times to enter the bright and warm main building.
But every time I go in, I come out from the same place...
The main building was refusing them entry...
Butler Liu: "Yes."
The senior student yelled, "If we don't let people in, what's the point of the main building being lit up and free of fog?"
Master Tianji sighed softly again: "Don't you understand?"
"That lamp was left on specifically for the Sheng family."
"Sheng Ai is waiting for her family to come home."
“We are not her family, and she won’t let us in.”
These words silenced my senior brother.
His mouth opened and closed repeatedly.
They closed and then opened again.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Damn it, what exactly did the Sheng family do to Sheng Ai?"
"What caused Sheng'ai to become like this?"
Although he had never seen a ghost.
But after all, he works in the field of metaphysics.
They have a high acceptance of strange people and strange things.
Therefore, upon hearing his master's conversation with Steward Liu, he didn't doubt the truth of the matter; he was only wondering what had happened to Sheng Ai...
After a long pause, Butler Liu finally replied, "I cannot say."
"But this is indeed our retribution."
"You can't blame anyone else."
The senior brother was speechless once again.
It's just that I've been holding it in for too long.
He couldn't hold back any longer: "Where are Tianxing and the others hiding?"
"Do they know about the gray fog descending?"
Master Tianji is unaware.
Even Steward Liu was unaware.
Sheng Tianxing and the others had no idea what had happened outside.
At this moment, Sheng Tianxing was going crazy again, grabbing Hang Wei's hand and pleading through tears, "Mom, please let me out..."
"All I want is to take a nice shower, use the toilet, eat a meal, and change my clothes..."
Please.
"This is my only wish now."
"I'm willing to go to jail, even for the rest of my life, if it means fulfilling this wish..."
"Don't worry, I'll only confess to my own problems, I absolutely won't drag my whole family down with me..."
Mom said they only stayed in the space for three or four days…
But for her...
It feels like several years have passed...
And you can't see the end of it...
She was fed up with eating, drinking, and relieving herself in such a cramped space with a group of men...
Just a few days.
She's lost a lot of weight...
If this continues, she really will die here...
