After turning on the light, Lan Shuang felt a little confused for a moment. She stared at a certain point in a daze and did not take any immediate action. After standing for a while, she realized that the knocking and footsteps outside had disappeared. She carefully walked to the door, opened it and looked out.
The hallway was lighted, but quiet.
She turned her head to look at the third floor, but unexpectedly met a pair of gloomy eyes.
This time she was really frightened and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
How does it feel to look up and see a head drooping on the railing, as if it has died with its eyes open?
Thanks for the invitation. The person involved said it was very painful and her soul left her body for a moment. She held on to it desperately to come back to life.
888 screamed directly in her head.
Lan Shuang squeezed out a sound from between her teeth and asked with a smile: "Uncle Butler, are you imitating a zombie here?"
The housekeeper stared at her expressionlessly, his eyes moving slightly as he gave her a strange smile: "Sixth Miss is really disobedient. It's so late, where are you going?"
Lan Shuang continued to smile: "Go to hell, do you want to come with me?"
housekeeper:"……"
The butler seemed to be at a loss for words as he didn't expect her to answer like that.
His deadpan face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, finally showed a new expression. He frowned and scolded, "You should stay in your room at night, Miss Six, please go back now."
Lan Shuang shrugged. "I see. But it's not good for you to walk outside all the time. What if you disturb others?"
The housekeeper said with a wry smile, "I'll go and rest after everyone gets their share of milk."
"Oh, then—good night."
Lan Shuang waved at him and lazily walked towards her room. However, as soon as she entered, she leaned against the door and patted her heart, "I'm so scared! This housekeeper is really haunting me. And why is he always staring at me?"
888 nodded: "I feel it too. He really pays a lot of attention to the host, and he is inexplicably hostile."
"Is it because I had a grudge against him in the past?" Lan Shuang touched her chin. "But looking at the diary, Xiao Liu doesn't seem like someone who would easily pick a fight with others."
888 said helplessly, "I don't know either."
"Ah, host, it's ten o'clock!"
888 Ding's mind rang, and he quickly reminded Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang nodded, leaned against the door and waited for a while, and finally heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs.
"Has the butler left?"
888 took a look and said, "Let's go!"
Lan Shuang became alert, and the next moment the door panel began to vibrate and someone was knocking on the door.
It seemed as if it was knocking on her heart from a distance.
She pursed her lips and didn't open the door immediately, fearing that she would see the housekeeper's dead face. She asked first, "Who?"
The knocking stopped, and someone leaned against the door panel and smiled softly, "Big Bad Wolf."
The low voice seemed to ring in her ears, and Lan Shuang's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking about his posture, he should have his face pressed against the door with his head lowered, and maybe a casual smile on his lips.
Lan Shuang was silent for a moment, then opened the door, and a tall figure slipped in from the gap.
With a "bang", the room fell into darkness. Lan Shuang was startled. The next moment, someone covered her mouth and held her wrist against the door. Jiang Lusheng whispered in her ear, "The little rabbit is very brave. It even dared to let the big bad wolf in."
What kind of weird play is this?
Lan Shuang pouted, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and smacked his palm. "Let's get down to business first."
Jiang Lusheng withdrew his hand regretfully, "Okay."
Lan Shuang took his hand and walked to the table, raised her chin towards the milk, and said, "You didn't drink this, did you?"
Jiang Lusheng shook his head. "No, I can smell something wrong."
"Hmm? How did you smell it?"
She looked Jiang Lusheng up and down, and suddenly asked, "Did you use your original body's ability?"
Jiang Lusheng nodded: "This world is quite special. The restrictions on the soul here are very small, so I can mobilize some of the power of my body without worrying about disrupting the balance of heaven here."
Lan Shuang breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. This way our safety will be more guaranteed."
She told Jiang Lusheng everything that had just happened and reminded him: "There should be a camera in your room too. Remember to block it when you get back."
"Yeah." Jiang Lusheng picked up the milk, shook it, and said, "So we're going to use this instead of the white pill?"
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "This is even better."
He raised an eyebrow, "But how do we get the butler to drink it?"
Lan Shuang smiled but said nothing.
…
Ten minutes later, they stood at the door of the housekeeper's room.
Jiang Lusheng knocked on the door calmly, "Dong Dong Dong"
The housekeeper opened the door, Jiang Lusheng took two steps back, and the housekeeper took two steps forward, "Third Miss, what are you doing——"
With a "bang", the butler widened his eyes and slowly fell down.
Lan Shuang, who had been lying in ambush behind the door of another room, hit him on the head with a stick with just the right amount of force, and the butler fainted immediately.
Lan Shuang threw away the stick, turned around to get the milk on the table, and said to Jiang Lusheng, "Come, give me a hand."
Jiang Lusheng understood, lifted the butler's head, pinched his mouth open, and Lan Shuang poured all the milk into it.
Neither the white pill nor the stick could guarantee that he would sleep through the night, but the glass of milk could, and that was enough time for them to do anything.
The two of them didn't waste any time. After drinking the milk, Jiang Lusheng dragged the housekeeper back to his room, and Lan Shuang found two keys on him.
"Only two?"
She frowned.
Jiang Lusheng said: "Perhaps he can't go to other rooms with his status."
Lan Shuang was relieved and held the key tightly. "Let's go. I think there's one key here that belongs to the warehouse. That's enough."
"Um."
The two closed the door and went to the warehouse immediately. The door of the warehouse was still not locked. Jiang Lusheng fumbled on the wall for a while, found the switch and turned on the light.
Lan Shuang immediately went to the cabinet where the gardening tools were locked, took a key and tried it, but it didn't open. She changed to another one, which went in easily and opened the lock with a turn.
She turned to look at the drawer on the other side, tried the previous key, and opened it.
She immediately opened it and found a pistol inside. She took it out and felt it and knew it was a real gun.
"Why is this pistol here?"
She took it, looked at it, and frowned.
Jiang Lusheng took out two small shovels and said, "We'll know later. Let's dig the soil in the garden first."
"That's right." Lan Shuang took a shovel and followed Jiang Lusheng to dig the soil.
When she arrived at the living room, Lan Shuang subconsciously looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see anyone else.
The two quickened their pace and went out.
The street lights in the manor lit up, looking like stars falling into the earth from afar.
However, coupled with the swirling black fog outside, it looks weird and eerie.
