Interlude "After Shaking Hands with Noel (Part 1)"



In the center of their sight, a blond woman who was as dignified and beautiful as a Greek goddess revealed a pair of blue eyes and spoke softly:

"You have all experienced it. The previous level is 'Escape Room'. That difficult-to-break secret room left a deep impression on us. The next level may be a game similar to 'Box Girl Game', 'Russian Roulette', or 'Who is the Undercover'. You have to climb the tower in order to pass this dungeon."

"As for this level..." She gently moved her snow-white neck and looked at the snow outside the window: "It should be called 'Snowstorm Manor'. It's an isolated castle. Once a murder case occurs, the guests of the castle can only suspect each other until the murderer is found, or they all die..."

Su Mingan remained silent and looked around.

What caught his attention most was the man in black robe sitting in the corner of the sofa. This man didn't say a word from beginning to end and was isolated from the outside. The other players at the top of the leaderboard also ignored him.

At this time, a maid came over, handed each person a mask, and turned to walk towards the stairs.

Everyone realized that they were asked to follow.

"It seems that we are about to meet the owner of this castle." Mao Lian whistled.

Everyone walked into the banquet hall, which was magnificent, with pearl curtains and jade, carpets strewn with scarlet roses, and a faint scent of red wine and decadent flowers.

In addition to the eight of them, a team of eight players also came over from the other side, all wearing masks on their faces.

At the top, the owner of the castle finally showed up in everyone's expectant sight.

——A blue-haired boy.

He crossed his legs and shook his wine glass carelessly. Next to him sat a doll-like girl with black hair, lifeless eyes, and a gorgeous dress decorated with flowers. Her skin was dull and she looked like a corpse.

"Welcome everyone to my castle." The blue-haired boy said with a smile.

Locke's eyes flashed blue as he used his detection skills. Then, he moved his hands slightly, and invisible blue threads pierced into the earlobes of every player. His voice rang in every player's ears: "The owner of the castle, Count Tortax, is a prominent nobleman in this strange medieval civilization. It is rumored that there is always a corpse of a young girl sitting next to him. That is his dead lover. In order to revive her, he has been studying forbidden black magic and is even crazy enough to do anything at all costs."

"We are a group of profit-seekers with different goals. Some want to ask the Earl for investment, some want to ask the Earl for medicine, some want to investigate the Earl for big news, and some want to curry favor with the powerful. In short, we have gathered here with various goals to attend the Earl's banquet."

Su Mingan glanced sideways.

...This is really amazing, this is an information flow player. Just a short period of observation, communication, and use of skills can get so much information.

"Which group of guests are we?... Never mind! Since you are all here, let's play a game!" The blue-haired boy suddenly stood up and waved his arms.

"The Earl has decided! Today's game is called 'The Last Supper!'"

...playing games?

The players looked at each other in confusion, they expected to play a game, what kind of game was this?

"If it's a card game, I'm better at it." Antetolia smiled demurely.

"Oh, I hope it's a betrayal type game... I like to see you running around aimlessly..." gloomy Edith said in a hoarse voice.

"Hahaha...be peaceful, mystery games are great." Locke said helplessly.

"Shut up! Be quiet!" The blue-haired boy jumped up and down, "This earl is going to announce the rules!"

"Four demons are among the sixteen of you!" The blue-haired boy pointed at everyone and said, "Well... the game consists of two stages, namely 'midnight bell' and 'meal time'!"

"During the 'Midnight Bell' segment, you can move freely in the castle. Of course, demons can also kill people without restriction!"

"During the 'dining time' phase, the bell in the banquet hall will ring, and you must return to the banquet hall, vote, and banish the person you think is a demon!"

"Okay, this earl is going to issue you identities! Now, eat the food in front of you. If it tastes bitter, then you are a devil! Come on, eat it quickly!"

On the long table, the tablecloth slipped off, revealing the plates.

Su Mingan controlled his expression.

——What was on the table was not a delicious dish, but a person!

A living person!

The slightly curly purple hair slid down the white tablecloth. The man's face was covered by white gauze, revealing only the dissected body.

Su Mingan had already recognized who the Earl was. The original ninth-ranking Divine Envoy, Wuyi. Lu Shu had taken his position as Divine Envoy.

In the first world game, Wuyi actually appeared in the fourteenth copy?

It wasn't until the 400 millionth time that Luo Vasha was cleared by herself, so in the first world game, Luo Vasha was not cleared, and might not even have appeared in the scope of the fifteen copies.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Antetolia moved first. She ate a piece of fruit on the edge of the plate and put down her silver fork. Her demonstration made everyone suddenly realize what was going on, and they all ate only the fruit on the edge.

Su Mingan took a bite of the fruit and a hint of bitterness emerged.

…My identity is “devil”.

After eating, free movement began. As the candle flame went out with a "cluster", everything that could be seen by the naked eye suddenly became pitch black.

"Ah!" A scream was heard, and a "devil" had already taken action.

Just as Su Mingan was about to take action, he suddenly felt someone holding his hand and pulling him out of the banquet hall. He ran all the way until the chaos behind him gradually died down. The person made a hoarse voice:
