The Beloved Heiress's Dark Side (17)
“I know, I’ll take you there.”
Mei Qingrui was also very anxious about this matter. She was the daughter of the fourth and fifth young masters of the Ou family, so naturally she cared.
Mei Qingrui first went to check on Third Master Ou. Seeing that he was unconscious but otherwise unharmed, she came to Jian Tanxi's side and said, "Come with me."
The players drove to the Ou family's house, and Mei Qingrui's soul only needed to float outside the car; she didn't need to ride in the car.
Soon, everyone arrived at the Ou family's house.
Mei Qingrui said to everyone, "Come with me and try not to make any noise."
Mei Qingrui led the players back to her room, had them take a key from the bedside table, and then went to Old Master Ou's study.
Because she is now a spirit, she cannot touch earthly objects.
She had Jian Tanxi use the key to open the study, and the others followed her in.
Once inside, Mei Qingrui said to Jian Tanxi, "See that blue vase? Turn it 100 degrees clockwise."
Jian Tanxi did as instructed.
Then, a door opened under the chair in the study.
Mei Qingrui said, "Light the candles and go down."
They found the candles in the study and then went downstairs one by one.
The downward passageway is very narrow, only wide enough for one person to walk at a time, not side by side.
After walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at a room. However, the room was completely empty.
Mei Qingrui said, "Press the button on the east wall."
Fan Siqi pressed a button, and another hidden door immediately appeared.
They walked through the hidden door and entered another room.
The room was finally occupied; three elegant ladies were lying inside, and they looked to be in their forties or fifties.
Meng Yuening asked in surprise, "Are those three the wives of the second generation of the Ou family?"
Mei Qingrui said, "Yes."
Jian Tanxi and the others quickly woke them up.
When the three ladies woke up, they were all a little surprised and delighted.
The eldest wife asked, "Who are you? Are you here to rescue us?"
Jian Tanxi said, "You can't go out yet... Do you know who locked you up here?"
The first wife said, "I don't know..."
At this moment, the youngest of the three wives saw Mei Qingrui's spirit. She was both frightened and angry, and asked, "Mei Qingrui, weren't you dead? Why have you come back?"
Mei Qingrui said coldly, "Don't worry, I am indeed dead. I came back to save the Ou family. Once the Ou family is saved, I will leave and will not compete with you."
The third wife was relieved, but then gave Mei Qingrui a disdainful look.
Meng Yuening said, "Now is not the time for family conflicts. Something big has happened to the Ou family. Ladies, please tell me what has happened in the past few days."
The second wife was more composed and said, "We don't really know either. I only know that three days ago, in the morning, I suddenly fainted. When I woke up, I was already in this secret room, with the first wife and the third wife there as well. At first, we tried to call for help, but no one heard us. Later, every now and then, a robot would come to deliver food, and we've been living like this for the time being."
Meng Yuening asked, "A robot delivers food?"
"Yes, we haven't seen anyone else either."
It's not surprising that robots can deliver food; such technology already exists on Earth, and many hotels have these intelligent robots.
The problem is that the servants are all on holiday, so someone has to cook, put the food into the robot, and set the robot's path so that it can deliver the food.
So, could it be that Opel did this?
Jian Tanxi asked the ladies, "Did Ou Bao'er make you all dizzy?"
The first wife said, "I don't know... I didn't see anyone before I fainted."
The second and third wives used the same excuse.
Jian Tanxi said, "Perhaps, Ou Bao'er ambushed you from behind."
The second wife said, "That's possible... but Bao'er doesn't have that ability, does she?"
Jian Tanxi: "If she has planned everything perfectly, perhaps she can do it in some way."
At this moment, the first wife said, "My baby is a good child, he would never do such a thing."
Upon hearing this, Jian Tanxi immediately realized that Ou Bao'er must have been born to the first wife.
Jian Tanxi explained, "Perhaps something has happened, and everything Ou Bao'er has done is not from her own heart. What have you been eating these past few days? Do you know who cooked it? Everyone's cooking skills are different, and perhaps you can tell who cooked it from the type and taste of the dishes."
The first wife said, "We eat instant noodles and drink bottled water delivered by robots."
Jian Tanxi asked in surprise, "Instant noodles? Besides instant noodles, do you have anything else?"
"there is none left."
If it's instant noodles, anyone can make them, and there's no way to tell if there are any hidden people in the Ou family mansion.
Jian Tanxi then asked, "Has no one come here in the past few days?"
The first wife said, "No... Actually, even if we did, we wouldn't know. Because we spend most of our time sleeping."
"Why? Is it because there's no sunlight here, making you sleepy?"
"Maybe..."
The second wife added, "I think it's also related to the food we eat. We always feel sleepy after eating instant noodles. When we wake up, it's often time for the next meal, and the robot has already delivered the food."
Meng Yuening said, "So, there's a sleeping potion in the instant noodles?"
"Maybe..."
At this moment, the third wife asked, "You just said that something big happened to the Ou family? What exactly happened?"
Jian Tanxi and the others briefly recounted how the Ou family members had been turned into zombies and were biting people everywhere.
The three ladies were all surprised and frightened.
The first wife said, "This can't be true, can it..."
Meng Yuening said, "It's true, we have no reason to lie to you. Have you ever seen the brains of the five young masters?"
All three ladies shook their heads: "No."
Meng Yuening asked Mei Qingrui, "Sister Mei, didn't you say this is the most secret room in the Ou family? If the brain isn't here, where else would it be?"
Mei Qingrui said, "Actually, the Ou family has more than one secret room; there are seven in total. If they're not here, they might be in a deeper secret room. I'll take you to find them."
Mei Qingrui led the players further inside.
The three ladies wanted to go out, but Meng Yuening dissuaded them, saying, "It's still quite dangerous outside. Don't go out yet. What if Ou Bao'er isn't the final boss, and she's being controlled by someone else? If you go out, you might fall into someone else's hands, making it even more difficult to rescue you."
The three ladies thought this made sense, so they decided to stay there for the time being.
Mei Qingrui directed the players to open various mechanisms and enter one secret room after another, but they still found nothing.
Now, only the seventh secret room remains.
As soon as they approached the seventh secret room, they felt a chill.
Zhang Dayong said, "This cold feeling is so familiar...it's like the same kind of coldness used on those boxes that contained brains before..."
Everyone was secretly delighted. Perhaps the remaining brain was preserved in the seventh secret room.
When they pushed open the door to the seventh secret room, they found three girls huddled in a corner, covered with blankets and shivering.
One of the girls turned out to be Ding Zhelan, the eldest young master's fiancée.
The other two girls were strangers; Jian Tanxi didn't know them.
Ding Zhelan was very surprised to see Jian Tanxi and Meng Yuening, and asked, "Aunt Jian, Aunt Meng, why are you back?"
Jian Tanxi said, "It's a long story. We've come back to carry out a new mission. Did you know that Ou Bao'er has turned evil?"
Ding Zhelan said somewhat fearfully, "I know... she's the one who locked us up here."
Who are the other two girls?
Ding Zhelan introduced, "The two girls next to me are Yin Chengsi, the fiancée of the second young master of the Ou family, and Li Muling, the fiancée of the third young master."
Jian Tanxi asked in surprise, "The second young master and the third young master's fiancée?"
"Yes, the marriage was just arranged not long ago. The two of them came to visit the Ou family and stayed next door to me. Since we were all going to marry into the Ou family in the future, Grandpa Ou asked us to get to know each other, so the three of us often played together. I never expected that we would also be dragged into the family by Ou Bao'er."
Meng Yuening asked, "How did Ou Bao'er manage to get you here?"
Yin Chengsi (the second young master's fiancée) said, "Actually, I don't know much about what happened... I only remember that a few days ago, I suddenly fainted in the morning and woke up here."
Li Muling (the Third Young Master's fiancée) also said, "Me too."
Ding Zhelan said, "That morning, I saw Ou Bao'er covered in black mist, her eyes turned completely black, and her face was covered in red lines. She stormed into my room... She said that her brothers were all getting married and didn't want her anymore, and she wanted to change everything... Then, she released a mist towards me, and I was knocked unconscious."
Meng Yuening pondered and said, "So, Ou Bao'er turned evil because her brothers were getting married?"
Jian Tanxi said, "It's very possible... But how did Ou Bao'er complete the process of turning evil? Did she suddenly become that strange person?"
Ding Zhelan said, "I don't know about that..."
The other two fiancées also said, "We don't know..."
At that moment, Zhang Dayong excitedly shouted from the side, "The brain... I found the brain..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw five boxes next to Zhang Dayong. The boxes looked exactly the same as the boxes that contained other brains.
It seems that the brains of the five young masters of the Ou family are right here.
Professor Pan ran over and used an age pen to measure the brains in the five boxes, saying, "These five brains are all between 18 and 30 years old, so they should be the brains of the five young masters of the Ou family."
Next to these five boxes were some torn pieces of wall plaster.
Jian Tanxi asked, "Uncle Zhang, how did you find the brain?"
Zhang Dayong said, "While you were talking, I was looking for the coldest place in this room and found it here on this wall. But there was nothing there at first glance. I thought maybe the things were inside the wall. So I tore off the wallpaper, and sure enough, I found these five boxes inside, so I took them out."
