He Tiantian stared at the enormous, luxurious castle, her eyes nearly popping out of her head. This was the first time she had ever seen a castle like this in person, a castle that only appeared on TV dramas.
"Let's go, stop spacing out."
Shen Yizhou consciously pulled He Tiantian's suitcase inside, and He Tiantian quickly followed him. It was truly luxurious...
There were two rows of people dressed as maids standing at the entrance, one row on each side. When He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou walked in, they would greet them.
He Tiantian stared wide-eyed at everything around her. Was this the castle where princesses and princes lived in novels?!
The castle lord was standing in the front hall welcoming the arrivals. "Welcome to the event I'm hosting in the castle. I hope you all have a good stay here, hahahaha."
He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou were led by a maid to a room on the third floor. She opened the door and went in. The bedroom was very spacious, with silk and velvet on the bed and many carvings around it. It was practically a princess's room! He Tiantian loved it.
"What is the mission this time!" He Tiantian is no longer the same person she used to be; she is now someone who asks about missions.
"Just open your suitcase and you'll see."
After Shen Yizhou finished speaking, he opened his suitcase, took out a piece of paper, and He Tiantian went over to read it together.
[Mission for this mission: Find the killer of Lina.]
The two then looked at the contents of the newspaper.
[Newspaper headline: On January 13, 2009, Lina was brutally murdered in the most luxurious castle. The castle owner claimed that Lina was the daughter of the nanny, Zhang Ma, and died mysteriously in the swimming pool in the castle's backyard. When her body was found, Lina had already miscarried, and the fetus was about two months along. From then on, the maids said they could always hear the baby crying in the middle of the night, and the castle became known as the Ghost Castle.]
He Tiantian roughly understood the contents, and then she took out her phone from the net bag. This time she knew to take out her phone, hehehe.
The two lay on the bed for a while longer before urging each other to gather.
Players Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian, please gather at the Castle Garden.
He Tiantian grabbed her phone and went downstairs with Shen Yizhou. When they arrived at the garden, they found a group of people already sitting there waiting for them. Their eyes were unfriendly, as if they were blaming the two of them for being slow.
A woman dressed in red came out.
"Welcome, players, to this most luxurious castle. There is only one mission for us today."
"Find out who the murderer is. Now, activate the timeline. Only the top 20 teams can leave the timeline after finding the correct answer. Once the rankings are announced, those below the top 20 will be trapped in the timeline forever until they die. Have fun, everyone." The woman smiled and left.
Everyone sat on the lawn and chairs, waiting for the black hole to open. Wang Nana saw Shen Yizhou standing at the back and went up to greet him.
"Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you guys since the last game. I didn't expect you to be number one again."
Jiang Feng sat in his seat, speechless, watching Wang Nana. She was so embarrassed, always trying to get attention.
Shen Yizhou nodded and then remained silent. He Tiantian, standing beside him, looked around awkwardly, seemingly not wanting to acknowledge Wang Nana.
Aqing and Ayu sat on the side observing Wang Nana.
"Ayu, do you think Wang Nana has a crush on our Zhou Ge?"
Ayu turned around and looked at Aqing.
"I think it's possible, but that won't do! Brother Zhou belongs to Tian Tian!"
The two nodded in unison; they would be the guardians of Zhou Ge and Tian Tian's love! The battle had begun!
"Brother Zhou, Tian Tian's black hole has opened, let's go quickly!" A Qing waved to them from the chair.
He Tiantian, as if seeing a savior, grabbed Shen Yizhou and ran towards them. That Wang Nana is so annoying! Hopefully, we won't run into her after we go in.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Shen Yizhou's lips.
When the two emerged from the black hole, the entire castle looked brand new. They headed straight for their original room, and coincidentally, Aqing and Ayu were right next to it.
The two had barely sat down to rest when a maid knocked on the door.
"Gentlemen, it's getting late. The Lord of the Fortress invites you all downstairs for lunch."
After the maid finished speaking, she went to another room. Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian made some preparations and then went downstairs. The restaurant was very large and was already full of people. It seemed that there were at least a hundred people participating in the game.
He Tiantian found a four-person table and sat down, leaving the other two seats for A Qing and A Yu. Who would have thought that Wang Nana would beat her to it? She pulled Jiang Feng and plopped down in the remaining two seats, leaving A Qing and A Yu to sit at the table diagonally opposite them.
"What a coincidence, Brother Zhou, we've run into each other again. Do you mind if Jiang Feng and I sit here?"
Wang Nana spoke to Shen Yizhou in a low voice, completely ignoring He Tiantian next to her. Jiang Feng really wanted to crawl into a hole and asked if he could apply to change teammates.
Shen Yizhou didn't speak, but the fortress lord spoke up, "Everyone, eat and drink well. There are too many people, so we haven't been able to entertain you all properly. I hope you all have a good time! I won't say any more, so please don't find it annoying, hahaha."
Everyone responded that the lord would not, saying that it was already a very good thing that he had invited them to come and have fun.
He Tiantian observed the main table where the fortress lord was sitting. There were seven young men who looked like the fortress lord's seven sons, and seven women sitting around them. Could they all be the fortress lord's wives? One wife and one son!
After the lord finished speaking, the maids began to serve the dishes, all of which were Western food. Wang Nana looked at Shen Yizhou and asked, "Brother Zhou, would you like to eat this potato?"
