"Miss Xue, we need to prepare lunch. Please leave the kitchen!"
When the clock in the living room struck 10:30, several maids went into the kitchen and began to drive Lin Xue away.
What are you planning to cook for lunch?
She didn't choose to leave immediately, but instead watched with curiosity as the group went about their business.
Some were selecting vegetables from the shelves, while others were taking out flour and starting to knead dough.
"For lunch, we'll have meat buns and beef brisket soup!"
"We know Miss Xue likes vegetables, so we'll put some vegetables in the meat buns!"
A maid turned her head 180 degrees and glanced at Lin Xue, a strange smile appearing on her lips.
"Is the meat you use for the minced meat beef or lamb?"
Lin Xue continued to press for answers.
In the horror world, mutton is forbidden.
Because mutton represents "two-legged sheep," referring to these contestants.
"It's beef!"
"If Miss Xue likes lamb, we will buy some tomorrow!"
The woman looked at Lin Xue with a disappointed expression.
It was as if not letting Lin Xue eat mutton was a huge regret for her.
"Need not!"
"I don't like eating lamb!"
Lin Xue shook her head; she would never eat mutton.
However, I also won't eat beef!
After all, although beef doesn't come from two-legged sheep, it does come from other strange creatures.
These meats contain strange pollutants; if the contestants accidentally eat such food, they will suffer a certain amount of damage.
If a contestant is corrupted to a certain extent, they will be assimilated into the eerie world of horror.
Although this way of dying might be more comfortable than dying in a terrifying world.
Even after death, they won't find peace; they'll be permanently turned into puppets in the instance they're in. This treatment is worse than just being killed outright!
"Of course, I don't like beef either. All meats have a fishy smell. Please prepare a plate of vegetarian dumplings for me, thank you!"
After Lin Xue finished speaking, she left the kitchen. She had already sensed the strong malice emanating from the maids.
If we don't leave soon, we might trigger some kind of restriction.
At that time, these maids might turn into their original forms and attack her.
The time hasn't come yet; she has to keep playing with these eerie creatures.
Otherwise, it will enter a battle royale phase, where countless monsters will relentlessly hunt her down.
Instead of working yourself to the bone, why not relax and enjoy life?
When Lin Xue returned to the second floor, she passed by the room next door, reached out and opened the door, and went inside.
You deserve to die!
Suddenly, a figure covered in blood appeared in front of Lin Xue, startling her.
She instinctively kicked out, but missed completely. Only then did she realize that what she had just done was a door-opening attack.
He pulled the necklace he had stolen from Xiaoya out of his pocket and discovered that the pendant on the necklace was cracked.
"The props we finally found are now ruined!"
Lin Xue regretfully threw the necklace on the ground.
"It seems these strange phenomena are not to be underestimated. Even she could be killed if she were completely unprepared!"
It was from this moment that Lin Xue began to truly confront this terrifying world.
Perhaps because she had had such a good life in other worlds, she hadn't truly immersed herself in this dangerous one yet.
Having experienced this crisis, Lin Xue now knows that these strange entities are not as weak as she had imagined.
Since there's a "door-opening kill" mechanic here, there must be valuable items.
Lin Xue went inside and searched carefully, finding a bloodstained dagger in a drawer.
[Bloodstained Dagger: This is a dagger imbued with a small amount of eerie energy; it can be used to damage ordinary eerie entities!]
Then I found a white, unmarked medicine bottle on the table, containing seven pills about the size of a thumbprint.
[White Pill: When affected by the strange substance, you can take the White Pill to expel some of the contamination!]
I put everything usable into my backpack, and also put some of the unusable but very valuable jewelry in there.
Although these items cannot be taken out of the instance, they can certainly be used for bribery or exchanged for useful items.
After all, even the horror world needs to make a living, and just because she doesn't like something doesn't mean the native inhabitants of this world don't like it either.
After leaving the room, Lin Xue returned to her own room.
She didn't dare to open the other doors for the time being, worried about another door-opening attack, this time without any defensive items.
Back in the room, they searched it thoroughly, inside and out.
In the end, they only found a pink hairband under the bed.
[Pink headband: Wearing this headband can reduce your presence in the eyes of eerie beings!]
Lin Xue didn't lie down on the bed to rest until she had searched the entire house.
But before she could fall asleep, she heard footsteps coming upstairs.
Why are there footsteps?
There was no sound when the maid came up this morning.
However, the footsteps did not come towards her room, but went straight up to the 3rd floor.
"Could it be that the Earl has returned?"
Come to think of it, it's already noon, the Earl should be back for lunch.
Sure enough, her room was knocked on again a short while later.
This time she didn't hear anyone's footsteps going upstairs; it seems the maids in this castle walk silently.
