Rose disappeared obediently, but Jiang Lusheng's expression didn't improve at all. Lan Shuang hooked her fingers around his and shook them. "So you can play the violin?"
Jiang Lusheng nodded: "Yes, I'm not worried about this, but..."
Meeting his gaze, Lan Shuang suddenly understood. "You're worried that if I have to fulfill even this kind of request, then if this character does something else outrageous, you'll have to comply as well?"
Jiang Lusheng didn't say anything and nodded slowly.
Lan Shuang's face turned pale. What if this character wanted to kill or burn people? Would they have to do it exactly as they were told?
Otherwise, will I be punished?
"No wonder this weird game says whoever survives to the last day wins. With this method of playing, it's really hard for us to survive to the last day."
"Let's take it one step at a time."
Jiang Lusheng turned around and walked to the bed, reached under it and felt something, and sure enough, he found a bracelet exactly the same as the one in Lan Shuang's bedroom, with a small "3" on the bottom.
"I'm the Third Miss."
Jiang Lusheng showed the bracelet to Lan Shuang. Lan Shuang took out the bracelet with the number "6" from her pocket, compared them together, and suddenly said, "I think I understand your feeling. Same room layout, same bracelet, except for the different numbers, everything else is similar. It really looks like mass-produced goods."
After they exchanged messages and were about to continue watching, soft music suddenly sounded in the room, but it was loud and difficult to ignore.
"Dear players, it's five minutes to nine o'clock sharp. Remember to gather at the dining table. Those who are late will be punished."
Rose's voice was as lively as ever, but Lan Shuang was not in a happy mood right now.
She put down what she was holding, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's exchange information."
"good."
The two walked out of the room together and happened to see Liu Quan and Zheng Mingxin. They were talking about something. Liu Quan raised his hand as if he wanted to wipe Zheng Mingxin's tears, but when he saw them out of the corner of his eye, he put it down without leaving a trace.
"You guys are out too, how's it going? Did you find any clues?"
Lan Shuang pretended not to notice their actions and sighed, "Let's go down first and talk later."
The group hurried downstairs and sat down at the table in the last two minutes.
The dining table was very long, more than enough to accommodate ten people, but no one was sitting at the main seat in the front or at the end opposite. They sat on both sides consciously.
Jiang Lusheng sat on Lan Shuang's left, and Wen Qingqing followed suit and sat on her right. Lan Shuang glanced at her and saw that her face was pale. She asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Wen Qingqing shook her head and whispered, "It's okay."
Lan Shuang didn't ask any more questions.
There were four men sitting opposite, plus Zheng Mingxin, while the other girls all sat together consciously.
Therefore, Jiang Lusheng, who was sitting next to him, and Zheng Mingxin, who was sitting in the group of men opposite him, seemed particularly out of place.
Jiang Lusheng looked calm, while Zheng Mingxin felt a little embarrassed and kept his head down without saying a word.
Lan Shuang didn't say anything. When the last minute countdown ended, Rose cheered, "Oh, everyone is on time. No one is late. What a pity."
Everyone: “…”
"Okay, it's nine o'clock now, everyone can start eating. After dinner, you have half an hour to communicate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the kitchen door suddenly opened and a group of servants dressed in retro and elegant clothes walked out. At the front was a butler with short silver curly hair. He had regular features, a tightly pursed mouth and eyes without much emotion, making him look very serious.
He walked to the table and stood still, looking at the empty main seat in confusion, and then looked at the ten players. Lan Shuang felt that his next sentence might point out their identity information.
As expected, his eyes fell on Pei Jinzhi and he asked respectfully, "Master, why didn't you ask the master and the mistress to come down?"
Everyone else's heads turned to Pei Jinzhi, and Lan Shuang raised an eyebrow: "So you are the only young master?"
Pei Jinzhi's expression was calm and composed, but he was a little curious about the master and mistress he mentioned: "Where are they? I can't see them."
The butler paused, then bowed to her and said, "I'm sorry, young master. I was confused. The master and the mistress are out visiting friends and are not at the manor. We can have dinner now."
As he said this, he clapped his hands, and the maids lined up and placed exquisite dishes in front of them, and opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for them.
Wen Qingqing swallowed her saliva, seeming to be really hungry. "Are these really edible?" she asked Lan Shuang in a low voice.
Lan Shuang picked up the knife and fork and asked 888 the same question in her mind. 888 checked it and said, "It's all edible, no problem."
Lan Shuang said to Wen Qingqing, "It shouldn't kill us right away. Let's eat."
As she said that, she picked up a piece of meat with a fork and put it in her mouth, "Hmm, it tastes pretty good."
The others stared at her nervously, and only started to move when they saw that she had finished eating without any problems.
Zheng Mingxin seemed to have recovered and said with a smile: "Are you really not afraid at all? You don't look like an eighteen-year-old girl."
Lan Shuang was cutting steak. Upon hearing this, she raised her eyelids and glanced at her: "Is there any necessary connection between courage and age?"
Zheng Mingxin: "Uh... no, I just admire you. I wish I had such courage."
Lan Shuang responded coldly: "Oh."
And then nothing happened. Zheng Mingxin sat there awkwardly, and no one else showed any intention of helping her. She ate her meal with a heavy heart.
Soon the only sounds on the table were the clinking of knives and forks and swallowing.
The housekeeper stood aside and looked very satisfied. "It seems that today's meal is very much to everyone's taste. The young masters and young ladies are all very happy with the meal. Why not make these tonight?"
Lan Shuang took a sip of the red wine and found it tasted just average, so she left it there without touching it. She leaned back in her chair and looked around.
I hadn't looked closely before, but this living room is very large and has many rooms.
Opposite this side is the kitchen, and there is a door next to the kitchen, which is tightly closed. I don’t know what it is used for.
There is a room in each corner, the door is closed, and the patterns are symmetrical.
Noticing Lan Shuang's gaze, the housekeeper suddenly came over and said seriously, "Sixth Miss, I've told you many times not to look around while eating. It's very impolite."
Lan Shuang: “…”
She smiled at the housekeeper and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Housekeeper. I can't get rid of this habit, but you're too strict. I'm in my own home, so this shouldn't be a problem, right?"
She stared at the butler's face, taking in every change in his mood.
The housekeeper frowned even more deeply. "But you will eventually marry into someone else's family, and soon they will—"
At this point he suddenly paused and didn't continue.
Lan Shuang looked at him innocently: "What are they doing?"
