Chapter 355 A Specially Designed Escape Room
"In other words, this Twilight Villa is a villa built by Karasuma."
"However, all of this is now history, because forty years ago, a horrific tragedy occurred here."
Forty years ago, this place invited celebrities from all walks of life in politics and business to hold a secret meeting. Ostensibly, it was to express condolences for Karasuma Renya, who passed away at the age of ninety-nine. In reality, it was an auction of the art collection that Karasuma Renya had collected during his lifetime.
The auction featured over 300 items and was scheduled to last three days and three nights. However, on the second night, during a stormy night, two men, soaked by the rain, suddenly arrived at the villa. They requested to rest there for the night. The two men, who should have been refused, presented the organizer with a package of unknown contents.
Inside was something resembling cigarettes. After the host smoked their cigarettes, he suddenly changed his mind and invited the two of them into the annex.
The other guests at the auction, seeing this, naturally accepted their cigarettes as well, and a strong smell of cigarettes filled the room.
And that cigarette was actually—marijuana.
Soon, the entire auction venue descended into chaos, resembling a living hell.
In the end, eight people died at the scene, more than a dozen people fell into a coma, and two men left the Twilight Villa with all the artworks.
As Qianzhu listened to the dummy's lengthy narration, she lightly tapped her thigh with her fingertips, her gaze subtly falling on the dummy.
While the detectives were discussing, several butterflies in the sky outside the villa grabbed an unconscious eagle and carried it back to a room inside the villa.
Bertrand chuckled and grabbed the eagle by the foot, lifting it up and swinging it around a few times.
Tossing the eagle aside, Bertrand turned to look at the screen in front of him, a wicked smile spreading across his face.
At this moment, Oojin Shuzen, who had a habit of biting his thumbnail, was poisoned to death by Senma Kōdai.
As the first round of infighting began, Bertrand shrugged and then pressed a button on the remote control.
Suddenly, before anyone could notice, the restaurant was filled with smoke.
Before they could react, they were already unconscious from the smoke.
While everyone's attention was drawn to the fallen Da Shang Zhu Shan, Qian Zhu, who was already wearing a special gas mask, slowly stood up from her chair.
He glanced at everyone who had fainted on the ground, including the maid, then walked out of the restaurant with one hand in his pocket. Only after he was far away did he take off his mask.
Upon arriving at the room where her clone Bertrand was, Qianzhu glanced at the scene displayed on the screen, sat down on the sofa next to him, and looked at him in the eye.
Bertrand excitedly pressed another button, and the dummy in the main seat suddenly stood up. After picking up the fake head that had fallen to the ground, it effortlessly moved everyone except for the already dead Oogai Shuzen and the maid who was just a tool to different rooms, and then locked the doors one by one.
This is an escape room specially prepared for them by Bertrand. Apart from using their intelligence to obtain clues to escape the room, no amount of violence or other acts can break down the door.
Once everyone was inside the room, the screen automatically split into eight views.
The seven screens show the seven people being sent into the escape room, with the last screen still showing the restaurant.
