After listening to Mu Tiao's words, all the previous doubts were explained. Lan Shuang nodded and leaned back on the sofa in thought.
Their current situation is very complicated. The black fog is gathering, the lonely souls in the manor are rioting, and Rose is hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to strike. Once they are separated, they will fall into the same dangerous situation as before.
After pondering for a long time, she and Jiang Lusheng looked at each other and said, "Let's stay here now. There's not much time left anyway. Let's wait here and see what this so-called Rose Feast is all about."
Jiang Lusheng nodded: "I agree."
Pei Jinzhi was silent for a moment and said, "Then wait. Everyone's health is not very healthy now, so it's really not suitable for us to go out again."
Everyone looked up at each other's life bars. After all the trouble just now, only Jiang Lusheng's life bar was still full green, a dazzling green.
They sat in the living room in silence, and soon the mistress and the master came down.
"You're all here, that's perfect. Let me tell you about tomorrow's Rose Banquet. It starts in the morning and lasts until the early hours of the next day. You must dress nicely. The servants will deliver your clothes to your rooms shortly. Try them on yourself and alter them if there are any problems."
The master said, "Tomorrow will determine your entire life, so you'd better behave yourself."
The lady looked at Mu Tiao sinisterly, said nothing, and followed the master out of the manor.
"What are they going to do?" Li Weiyan asked curiously while lying on the sofa.
"I don't know, but I'll be back tomorrow."
Gao Yaozu rubbed his hands from time to time, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
Silence fermented over time. After this morning's hustle and bustle, everyone was tired and sleepy. No one spoke, and soon everyone fell asleep.
Lan Shuang also felt very tired, and she tilted her head and fell on Jiang Lusheng's shoulder.
Jiang Lusheng adjusted his posture, and Lan Shuang opened her eyes. Jiang Lusheng patted her back gently and said, "It's okay, go to sleep."
Lan Shuang nodded, put her arms around his waist, and closed her eyes with peace of mind.
…
"clang--"
The dull tinkling of the clock suddenly woke them up.
Lan Shuang's heart was beating fast, as if she was suddenly awakened, but it didn't feel like it. She turned her head to look at the clock and found that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"We slept that long?"
She touched her stomach in disbelief and felt a little uncomfortable with hunger.
The others also woke up one after another. Jiang Lusheng's hand came over and pressed on her stomach, "It's so flat."
Lan Shuang: “…”
"Aren't you hungry?" She sat up and glanced at the others.
"I'm hungry. I'm starving to death. Damn, why am I so hungry?" Li Weiyan mumbled in a daze without opening his eyes.
"I'm hungry too." Pei Jinzhi's voice was hoarse from just waking up. She stood up and stretched a bit. Lan Shuang pointed at the clock and said, "Just look at the time and you'll know why I'm so hungry."
Li Weiyan opened his eyelids and glanced, "What time... Shit, nine o'clock?"
He suddenly woke up and asked, "We slept until nine o'clock?"
Mu Tiao frowned: "Something is wrong. It's okay for one person to sleep until this time, but how can everyone sleep until this time?"
She pressed her stomach and said, "We only had a small meal this morning. It's already evening now. I'd be surprised if I'm not hungry."
"I'll go to the kitchen to see if there's anything to eat."
"I'll go with you." Lan Shuang walked towards Pei Jinzhi, and they went to the kitchen together. They found some steaks in the refrigerator, fried them themselves and served them.
"There's nothing else, so let's just make do with what we have."
Lan Shuang and Pei Jinzhi put the plate on the coffee table, and everyone immediately gathered around. "This is very good." Li Weiyan picked up the fork, picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, screaming in pain from the burn.
"Slow down, no one is competing with you."
Lan Shuang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Gao Yaozu glanced at the people with their hands tied across from him. He Ping asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Can you untie our hands so we can have some food too?"
Gao Yaozu did not agree and turned to look at the others.
Lan Shuang picked up a piece of steak and put it on a plate and handed it to him. "You eat your own food and don't worry about them. We'll give the rest to them after we finish eating."
Gao Yaozu nodded, took it and lowered his head without reading it.
He Ping: “…”
Lan Shuang cut the steak slowly and said, "I have always been petty. I won't repay evil with kindness for those who have hurt me. It's good enough that I can leave a bite for you. Just wait."
The others looked at each other, and Li Weiyan said, "You're right. I'm narrow-minded too. I'll just eat my fill first."
Pei Jinzhi and Mu Tiao were not pushovers either. Everyone was eating by themselves, leaving the four people opposite them aside.
When they were all full and the people on the other side were excited, thinking that they would finally be released, Lan Shuang shouted inside: "Someone come——"
The housekeeper came out with the servants, his face unfriendly, "What is Sixth Miss going to do now?"
Lan Shuang pointed at the four people opposite and said, "Feed them. Don't let them starve to death. If they starve to death, they'll ruin the Rose Feast. Be careful, or you'll be the one to blame when the Madam and the Master come back!"
housekeeper:"?"
opposite:"?"
Do you think you are speaking human language?
The butler weighed the pros and cons and actually waved at the servant, "Hey!"
The servants had no thoughts of their own and just followed whatever the housekeeper said. They picked up the big plate on the table, didn't cut it, and just forked a big piece of steak and stuffed it into the mouth of the person opposite them.
The four people on the opposite side almost choked to death. After finishing the meal, they almost lost half their lives.
After feeding them, the housekeeper started urging them to go back and rest, nagging them endlessly, repeating the same few words over and over again.
Lan Shuang was fed up with what she heard, so she tied up the butler with the remaining rope, and took out a roll of tape from his room and wrapped it around his mouth.
housekeeper:"#%……&*……**"
"It's almost ten o'clock." Jiang Lusheng stood by the coffee table, looked at his watch, and said this in an ambiguous tone.
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
There are still two hours until the sixth day, and after two hours, they will face the final battle.
Everyone's expression became serious. No one could be sure that they could get out alive. There was even a greater possibility that they would die here.
But no one wants to give up easily until the last moment.
"You wait here, we'll go find some weapons for self-defense."
Lan Shuang and Jiang Lusheng went to the warehouse first. There were only two guns, one for her and one for Pei Jinzhi, and the rest were useless things.
Finally, the two men came out with two badminton rackets and a baseball bat.
Mu Tiao and Li Weiyan each had a badminton racket. Gao Yaozu was given the baseball bat because he had been doing farm work for many years and was quite strong.
Everyone held what they had in their hands tightly and waited quietly.
Finally, the clock struck twelve and everyone looked at the clock at the same time. However, at this moment, the lights suddenly went out.
