Chapter 59 Swan Castle (Second Update)
Yu Naixin did it on purpose.
As the owner of Swan Castle, Yu Naixin finds it very easy to either find or take away the mirror.
The reason why she deliberately acted just before the ghost wizard got the mirror was not only because she wanted to observe what tricks the male guest had that she wasn't quite sure about, but also because Yu Naixin wanted to tease him a bit.
It's so interesting to watch the ghost wizard think he's about to get what he's been searching for, only to have it suddenly disappear.
It makes people feel happy.
[What? That familiar smile. Where has the little witch gotten into trouble again?]
[How did a mirror suddenly appear in the female guest's hand?! Where did it come from?]
[This mirror looks familiar... I remember watching a reality show called "Rose Spire" where a mirror that looked similar was a lifesaver for the guests, completely incapacitating the two guests, a vampire and an elf, from attacking them!]
Now that you mention it, I remember watching a video game called "Moonlight Town" where mirrors also had this effect!
Wait a minute, vampires and elves? Does this episode's male guest list include an "elf prince" and a "vampire duke"?!
The viewers in the live broadcast room learned about the origins of the four male guests of "Swan Castle" relatively early this time.
In the study on the second floor of the central round tower, after a brief moment of shock and bewilderment, the ghost wizard immediately realized that a force beyond his comprehension was interfering with him.
Having just been whipped by "that person," the ghost wizard inevitably becomes suspicious and prone to overthinking.
Although it was a way of suddenly taking away the duck that was about to be in his hands, compared to the situation he had just faced, it seemed like a small prank. But better safe than sorry, the ghost wizard dared not take the gamble.
He is still convulsing uncontrollably from the excruciating pain!
Without the slightest hesitation, the ghost wizard chose to flee the study at his fastest speed.
The werewolf knight, who had just crawled out of the pile of junk, only had time to catch a glimpse of a shadow quickly disappearing underground before he came to his senses and found himself all alone in the room.
Werewolf Knight: "...?!"
Ever since the Northern Ghost Wizard crashed into the bookshelf, the werewolf knight had been unclear about what had happened, and now he was even more baffled.
He sat on the ground, looked up at the chandelier the ghost wizard had just climbed over, then looked down at the floor where the ghost wizard had disappeared, his mouth agape, radiating an aura of confusion.
Yu Naixin laughed out loud at the sight: "Hahaha!"
She likes male guests who aren't quite as bright as they think.
What on earth is the female guest laughing about?!
[I'm reporting this! This livestream is constantly making it impossible for viewers to see any content! They might as well just go to a private moment and black out the screen!]
If only "Heartbeat 1000%" had a reporting function...
Yu Naixin has finally started doing things that viewers in her live streams can see.
She turned to look at Rosluna and instructed her, "Be careful to avoid any of the guests who come to the castle for the banquet this time."
If Luo Siluna were to encounter those four male guests, she would only end up turning into a pool of blood and having her soul scattered.
Yu Naixin turned and left: "I'll handle the rest."
[Holy crap, that line from the Demon King is so swoon-worthy!]
She said it in the most ordinary tone, as if she were just asking what to have for dinner, and so calmly took on all the responsibility! I love that!
Where is the female guest headed?
Yu Naixin was going to the study on the second floor to see the werewolf knight.
Going down through the hidden passage would take a bit longer. Yu Naixin remembered where the werewolf knight had forced his way in during the last simulation. She went straight there, used her princess privileges, and moved the metal floorboards blocking the entrance to the third and fourth floors.
Yu Naixin can move all the items in the Swan Castle at will, but she herself cannot move freely and has to run up and down herself. Yu Naixin feels that the setting of this dungeon show still needs improvement.
She lifted the hem of her gorgeous, elaborate white dress and walked swiftly and gracefully downstairs.
This outfit suits the little witch so well!
How does she manage to run so fast while maintaining such elegant and graceful posture?!
[Did the female guest really not buy any special speed-boosting items?]
[Finally, a change of scenery! No more watching the princess's bedroom! This episode has four male guests, so besides the female guest's perspective, we should have four other viewpoints to switch between. Why have we been stuck watching only the female guest's perspective for so long?!]
Generally, once the main guests and the supporting guests interact, whether directly or indirectly, the live stream perspective of the corresponding supporting guest can be activated. However, the main guests in this episode haven't seen any of the male guests yet...
The werewolf knight and the ghost wizard entered Swan Castle ahead of time through unconventional means, so even though Yu Naixin had been observing them for a while, the viewers in the live broadcast room were still unaware and could not possibly see the two male guests in their phantom form.
After escaping the study, the ghost wizard quickly wandered around Swan Castle, briefly checking the areas he hadn't yet searched, and found that he indeed couldn't find a second mirror.
The ghost wizard reluctantly returned to where he was supposed to be and, following the instructions of this instance program, entered the banquet hall on the first floor through the main gate of the castle, entering the rules in his normal form.
That means just waiting in the lobby.
The old butler, Devman, along with several servants, immediately came to greet and entertain them.
Compared to the two simulations where he arrived at 5 p.m., this time the Ghost Wizard entered about two hours early, only a dozen minutes later than the Vampire Duke who entered at 3 p.m.
The Vampire Duke was sitting in the VIP section of the banquet hall, idly observing the NPCs coming and going. He thought that the female guest of this dungeon show was very likely to be mixed in with these people.
Suddenly noticing an extra person in another corner of the VIP area, the Vampire Duke looked over in surprise and discovered that it was a competitor from another instance whom he had briefly met and exchanged a few words with before the start of this program.
"Back so soon?" The Vampire Duke sneered. "I knew it! The production team was trying every trick in the book to target us. They wouldn't give us another chance to destroy the mirror beforehand!"
"You're going to waste so much effort on this; it's a complete waste of your energy!"
The vampire duke's arrogant tone greatly displeased the ghost wizard, who chuckled sinisterly, "Heh heh heh..."
Since only the two male guests were present, he couldn't easily shift the blame. Moreover, he and the Vampire Duke were the two people with the biggest difference in strength in this episode. As the absolute weaker party, the Ghost Wizard remained silent.
However, deep down, the ghost wizard was already plotting how to make the vampire duke suffer the consequences he deserved.
**********
The study is located on the second floor of the central round tower.
The werewolf knight sat amidst the chaos, and it took him a while to finally understand the situation.
When the ghost wizard mentioned "that person," the werewolf knight didn't really listen carefully; his attention was entirely on the bookshelf in front of him. However, he still knew roughly what the ghost wizard was talking about.
So... after that damned ghost provoked "that person" and injured him, an innocent bystander, it simply abandoned him and fled for its own life?!
The werewolf knight ground his teeth fiercely.
The next time he sees that ghost, he'll beat it into a shapeless slime!
Fortunately, the lord wasn't blind to right and wrong and didn't continue to cause him trouble. The werewolf knight struggled to his feet and pondered what he should do next.
Having searched for so long without finding the mirror, the werewolf knight was already getting impatient.
The idea of the four male guests preemptively separating some of their spiritual power to form temporary phantom avatars to search for and destroy the mirror at Swan Castle was first proposed by the Ghost Wizard, and the Elf Prince immediately agreed.
Seeing that even the usually clever ghost wizard had said so, and that another competitor had also agreed, the werewolf knight finally followed suit.
The last remaining vampire duke did not object, which was considered tacit approval, so the werewolf knight followed the ghost wizard.
Now that the Ghost Wizard has run away and he has no real hope of finding the mirror, the werewolf knight finally decided to go back. Wouldn't it be much more comfortable to use his real body to go to Swan Castle than to use this light and airy phantom potion?
Just as the werewolf knight was about to pack up and leave, his wolf ears twitched, keenly sensing the unusual movement behind him.
The previous major tremor in the study not only knocked over all the bookshelves, tables, and other furniture, leaving them in ruins, but also created large, spiderweb-like cracks on the walls.
The only window in the study was also destroyed; the window frame and glass had all fallen out, leaving only a large, empty gap.
The werewolf knight turned around warily and saw a fairy, as elegant and beautiful as a butterfly, fluttering in through the broken window.
Yu Naixin landed on the broken windowsill, spread her arms and spun around. The hem of her snow-white dress drew a beautiful wave in the air, her long, black hair that almost reached her waist fluttered, and her delicate, flawless face was slightly raised with a faint smile.
Without the obstruction of the glass window, the bright moonlight poured down freely, falling on Yu Naixin's silver-white crown, shimmering with a hazy yet dazzling luster.
The pearls and diamonds on the dress also shone brightly, making the scene even more dreamlike.
With the final half-turn, Yu Naixin smoothly transitioned from a standing to a sitting position, taking advantage of the momentum. She sat on the windowsill, gently holding onto the broken window frame with one hand, facing the werewolf knight, tilting her head slightly, and a sweet and innocent smile blooming on her lips.
Good evening, Mr. Werewolf.
Would you—would you like to dance with me?
