The blood moon dyed the dark clouds above red, covered everything on the ground, and also dyed the white cloth outside the shop blood-red.

Jiang Ji has a good memory and remembers which stores hang white cloth.

She stood on the steps

With some deep resentment spilling out, Jiang Ji did not dare to enter the quiet shops hung with white cloths, but only went into the shops hung with red cloths.

She found some small slips of paper hidden deep inside.

"Miller became strange after returning from the sea. He was very resistant to cooked meat and black bread, and instead loved to eat raw meat."

"My eldest daughter and youngest son started to change, and I had a nightmare... In the dream, my family was arguing about how to share me."

"Great ██, please protect me. I feel like I'm sick... I really want to... dance..."

The diary came from a small number of educated civilians. Some parts have been blurred by water stains, but it can be seen that many of the sailors and fishermen returning from the sea have been contaminated or directly replaced by mermaids.

Jiang Ji passed by the beach and took a special look.

The waves under the blood moon were unusually calm, like a dead sea.

When we returned to the square again, the blood had faded.

Jiang Ji sent the weak An back, got on the carriage waiting on the roadside, and rushed back to the castle before six o'clock.

As soon as I stepped into the castle, the moon disappeared into the clouds.

It's night.

The castle seemed to have undergone a major cleanup; the floor was so bright that one could vaguely see a person's silhouette.

The head maid did not ask her what she wanted for dinner, but decided according to Duke Bluebeard's usual preferences.

However, although the maids still had expressionless zombie faces, their attitude towards the Duchess had obviously improved a lot.

Some even tried to pull up the corners of their mouths, trying to smile, but all ended in failure.

It seems that the red envelope incentive method is also quite effective against weirdness.

Duke Bluebeard came back extra early today. Just as the meal was ready, he appeared outside the castle.

As soon as the cross-dressing man appeared, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

It's really hard to get used to it. If you look at it a few more times, it will be like a work injury. It's not easy to be a ghost these days.

The Duke of Bluebeard's face had turned completely black, darker than a salted fish that had been exposed to the sun for a year. The bloody smell on his body made him feel as if he had licked rusty iron. The color of his beard became even more strangely blue, and it seemed that he had been fighting fiercely with his colleagues for a whole day.

The maids didn't dare to offend him and served the dishes without making a sound.

Jiang Ji ate the tasteless fruit, which was like chewing foam, only slightly better than the sour and tooth-irritating wild fruit before.

Even his favorite brain pudding with fresh blood on it couldn't cure his bad mood. The Duke of Bluebeard picked up the sterling silver spoon and glanced at Jiang Ji with a sinister look, becoming even more annoyed.

"Anna, go to the living room and get the key to the treasure house."

[Rule 4: As a qualified duchess, please do not refuse any request from your husband. ]

"Yes, sir."

Jiang Ji put down the half-eaten bubble fruit and stood up gracefully.

She walked up the second floor slowly and went straight to the living room.

But he didn't open the door to the living room.

"wrong."

Jiang Ji said in a low voice, without waiting for the system to ask, she had already used the ability to "predict the future".

Three seconds!

She saw the scene three seconds later!

In the long room, there were semi-arc-shaped niches on both sides, with rows of gray-brown mummies wearing gorgeous court dresses hanging, with ropes tied around their necks and their hair covering their faces. They looked like exhibits, showing off their cruelty in a swaggering manner.

The head drooped limply, and it was gray from head to toe.

The moment the door opened, blood gushed out from all directions, dyeing Jiang Ji's vision red.

She wanted to step back, but something pressed against her heels, and the light above her head was suddenly blocked out.

The extra shadow on the wall was like a mountain, pressing her so hard that she couldn't breathe, and the breath of death enveloped her.

A sharp pain came from the back of her neck and she cried.

The figure grabbed her legs and dragged her into the room, leaving a bloody trail on the floor with her head.

Jiang Ji: ...

So cunning.

Seeing that she had absolutely no interest in the secret at the end of the corridor, the rules began to take action from other places.

Deliberately polluting her perception, making her mistakenly believe that the door she opened was the door to the living room, when in fact it was the forbidden door at the end of the corridor.

But he didn't know how vigilant and life-conscious Jiang Ji was. She memorized how many steps it took to get to the living room.

And the number of steps at the end of the hallway is twice as many as that in the living room.

Jiang Ji retreated calmly, silently counting the steps until he reached his memory. In front of him was a stone wall.

She reached out her hand and felt around on the wall tentatively.

It was clearly a flat wall, but suddenly he felt something like a protruding relief. This was it. Jiang Ji pushed hard.

“Wow!”

In front of me is a living room that is clean and brand new.

Jiang Ji didn't know which one was the key to the treasure house, so he just took them all and showed them to Blue Beard.

As she passed by the paintings hanging in the corridor, she vaguely saw a woman's figure flash by in her peripheral vision.

Jiang Ji rubbed his hands excitedly, looking forward to it.

[Rule 3: The portraits in the castle corridors are from every duke of the castle. If a woman's face appears in the portrait, please do not look at her. Run back to your room as soon as possible and find the golden key your husband gave you.]

This rule has been singled out by "The Red Shoes" today as an obviously wrong rule.

Maybe she could get something out of the woman.

But the rules seemed to have seen through Jiang Ji's little thoughts, and the woman in the picture frame did not appear. Jiang Ji could only go downstairs regretfully.

"Why are you so slow in getting something? You idiot!"

When Duke Bluebeard saw Jiang Ji escape the trap, he threw the silver plate and knife and fork to the ground in madness.

Seeing this, the maid next to her hurried forward and knelt down to clean up. The floor that she had worked so hard to clean was now dirty, and she couldn't help but reveal a bit of resentment in her eyes.

What an unstable man! Jiang Ji rolled his eyes.

Nothing strange happened tonight, it was a Christmas Eve.

The second day was time to go to the palace to attend a court banquet.

As night turned to day, they began to prepare. The Duke of Bluebeard changed into women's clothes today. The skillful maids in the castle helped to alter them, which took up two of Jiang Ji's dresses.
