Chapter 254 contains clues
Jiang Liyue encountered one of the two female players from yesterday in the garden.
She recalled that the other person's name seemed to be Yuri.
The other female player who was with her had disappeared; she looked dazed and unwell.
Jiang Liyue took the initiative to greet her: "Hello."
Yuri seemed to only then notice her presence, her expression showing a hint of surprise: "Why didn't you...?"
She stopped talking abruptly.
"Nothing?" Jiang Liyue pressed.
Yuri shook her head: "It's nothing. Didn't you leave with a nobleman last night?"
She actually noticed the scene of Jiang Liyue and Herlo leaving last night.
Yuri wasn't paying special attention to Jiang Liyue; it just so happened that she was near the dining area at the time, and Jiang Liyue and Herlo were both exceptionally beautiful.
It's really hard not to be noticed.
This morning, Jiang Liyue didn't come out of her room either, and Youli thought she had disappeared like the others.
Jiang Liyue smiled and nodded in agreement: "Yes, but I have to come back eventually. My dear Aunt Lisa is waiting for me. I promised her that even if I'm with a nobleman, I won't forget her."
Yuri: Huh?
No, you really think of Mrs. Lisa as your aunt?
Fortunately, Yuri had witnessed Jiang Liyue's "naivety" a couple of days ago.
What puzzled her most was why she didn't disappear after she and the nobleman left, but instead reappeared the next morning.
"Disappeared?" Jiang Liyue blinked, looking completely innocent. "What do you mean, disappeared? Didn't Meili and the others already leave with the nobles?"
Yuri then realized that she had spoken out her inner curiosity.
But after she understood Jiang Liyue's doubts, she was once again surprised by Jiang Liyue's naivety.
Because Yuri knew perfectly well that they couldn't possibly have left with the nobles; they were clearly dead.
After all, she knew perfectly well that this was a deadly A-level dungeon world.
Yuri was terrified that so many people had disappeared overnight.
"Last night, what exactly happened last night?" She had no choice but to ask Jiang Liyue, "What did you do after you left with that nobleman? If you don't mind, could you tell me?"
Because Yuri didn't ask any nobles to dance last night, she always felt that the ball was not that simple, so she didn't dare to be as bold as her companions and directly try to find NPCs to experiment on.
The result was obvious: her companion disappeared last night.
Jiang Liyue truthfully replied, "He took me to a new room, and then I went to sleep."
"You didn't sleep in the same room?"
According to information gathered by Yuri, the missing men and women were all taken to a room and spent a pleasant night together.
Jiang Liyue shook her head, her expression even showing a hint of surprise: "We've only just met, how can we sleep together?"
Yuri: ...She makes a lot of sense.
After talking for a while, You Li felt that Jiang Liyue was frighteningly naive, but also very lucky, as she managed to escape a disaster because of her naivety.
Jiang Liyue also thought Youli was very cute; she only had to ask her a few questions to get a lot of information out of her.
It turns out that those people disappeared after spending the night together, which explains why she didn't encounter many customers on the street today.
Both of them were fairly satisfied with the conversation.
Jiang Liyue said goodbye to You Li and soon arrived at the Rose Garden.
She could see her room window when she looked up.
Being there in person was a completely different experience from the view from upstairs; the roses seemed even more vibrant.
The bright red color is as vivid and captivating as flowing blood.
She could almost smell the blood spreading to her nose.
Jiang Liyue liked the vibrant colors and strolled around the room with an appreciative attitude.
The rose garden, a forbidden zone for others, was opened to her without question.
Even the brightly colored roses seemed to be trying to attract her attention, striving to bloom even more beautifully.
They were so happy to receive even a fleeting glance from her that they stretched and trembled with joy.
This posture reminded Jiang Liyue of Herlo, who was like a puppy.
It's no wonder it's his rose garden, isn't it?
Jiang Liyue chuckled, "Truly, the flowers reflect their master."
Just as she was about to return via the same route through the rose garden, Jiang Liyue heard voices coming from not far away.
"You mean, there's really something wrong with this ball?"
“That’s right, sir. The information I’ve gathered indicates that the so-called Duchess hasn’t appeared for quite some time. How could she suddenly be hosting a ball?”
"you mean?"
"The Duchess might be dead already..."
