In the past, everyone would subconsciously listen to whatever suggestions Lan Shuang made, because she was considered the backbone of the group. But now, after experiencing Rose's temporary change of the rules, the trust between them is declining sharply.
No one responded for a while after the words fell.
Rose pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
Li Weiyan noticed her embarrassment and volunteered, "Lan Shuang and I will go together. Let's start in my room first. Everyone else should also go in pairs."
Li Weiyan looked at Rose, and Rose subconsciously looked at Jiang Lusheng. Jiang Lusheng nodded: "Then you go with Li Weiyan, and I will go with Pei Jinzhi."
"The rest is freely distributed among you."
Everyone agreed hesitantly.
The groups were quickly divided. Li Weiyan and Rose took the lead and started searching from the second floor, going to Lan Shuang's room first.
Jiang Lusheng and Pei Jinzhi went to Pei Jinzhi's room together, Zheng Mingxin and Wen Qingqing went to Zheng Mingxin's room together, Liu Quanquan and He Ping went to Jiang Lusheng's room together, Mu Tiao and Gao Yaozu went to Mu Tiao's room. After they went in, the doors were closed at the same time.
The housekeeper suddenly appeared in the living room, looked up at the closed door on the second floor, and chuckled.
…
"Huh... I've finally gathered enough spiritual energy." Lan Shuang gritted her teeth and formed a spell, muttering two sentences in a low voice. A blue light flashed in the palm of her hand. Her eyes turned fierce, and she clenched her hands, violently shattering the black mist that bound her hands and feet. She used her fingers as a knife to cut her neck, and the last piece fell off.
Lan Shuang was so tired that she was sweating all over. As soon as she was free, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
"Host, your face is so pale, are you okay?"
Lan Shuang shook her head and let out a long breath. "It's okay. I'm just tired. The spiritual energy here is too thin. Trying to accumulate enough is almost exhausting me. I'll sit down and rest for a while."
She sat down on the ground. The black mist was about to pounce on her again. She glared at it fiercely, "Are you looking for death?"
With a flip of his wrist, the blue spiritual power reappeared and the black fog immediately retreated.
888 was happy, "But now it seems to be working very well, the host is amazing!"
Lan Shuang said coldly, "No, this is the last bit of my spiritual power. I'll just use it to scare them."
888: “…”
You are still as big a liar as ever.
After regaining some strength, Lan Shuang stood up and groped her way to the door. She tried to open the door, but couldn't push it open.
"The host is locked from the outside, it can't be opened, and--"
There was a loud "bang!"
The door opened, the lock broke, and even the restriction that prevented the door from being opened before the time was up seemed to have disappeared.
888 was stunned. "Didn't you say that there was only that little spiritual energy left?!"
Lan Shuang slowly retracted her legs, "With my legs, it's enough."
She wrapped her legs with spiritual power and kicked hard, actually kicking the lock off and deforming the door.
888 silently gave a thumbs up.
The loud noise startled the housekeeper in the living room.
He turned his head suddenly and saw Lan Shuang slowly walking out of the small dark room, as if it was a slow motion replay. The housekeeper's eyes widened, "You, you, you——"
Lan Shuang stopped at the door, leaning against the wall, her right leg tiptoe touching the ground, and looked at the butler in a lazy and casual manner, "Hey, old boy, see you again."
housekeeper:"……"
Who taught you to speak English like this?
No, that’s not the point!
He suddenly turned his head and looked upstairs. She was here, so who was upstairs?
The butler's reaction was noticed, and his guesses gradually took shape.
"Where are the others?" Lan Shuang glanced casually. There was no one in the living room, oh, not counting the butler.
The housekeeper didn't want to talk, but after thinking of something, he said, "They're upstairs. It's almost noon. You'd better not wander around. I'll go ask the master and the mistress for instructions."
With that, he ran upstairs.
888 watched him disappear around the corner of the third floor and asked in confusion, "Host, you just let him go like that? Why didn't you chase him?"
Lan Shuang suddenly squatted down and patted her calf, saying with a look of pain, "My legs are numb and I can't walk."
888: “…”
No wonder you've been standing here.
Lan Shuang took a moment to relax, feeling her legs were better, and then she went upstairs. "Something's wrong! If they're all in the room, they can't be unable to hear the noise, right? It's so loud, it's almost deafening. How can the soundproofing in the room be that good?"
"Oh, right. Did something happen?"
Lan Shuang whispered, "Don't be such a pessimist."
She first arrived at the door of her room. The moment she opened the door, she had an indescribable intuition. She suddenly turned to the side and saw a fruit knife passing by her face, only two centimeters away from piercing her nose.
Lan Shuang held her breath, and her hair stood on end in an instant.
She grabbed the wrist of the person who came, took a closer look, and asked in surprise: "Li Weiyan? Why are you in my room?"
Li Weiyan saw her pupils suddenly dilate and struggled hard, "You still want to lie to me? You fake!"
Lan Shuang narrowed her eyes and noticed that there was a deep wound on his left arm, which was bleeding. She lowered her eyes and saw blood on the fruit knife. It must have been the knife that cut him.
"Calm down first. I'm not a fake. Look carefully. I'm Lan Shuang. The person you just met was Rose."
Lan Shuang grabbed his wrist and bent her other hand. Li Weiyan felt pain and the knife in his hand fell. Lan Shuang caught it quickly and almost cut herself. She quickly threw the fruit knife into the potted plant on the side.
