Chapter 26: You are the executioner



The heads of each of the six dwarves were chopped off on the spot. Blood flowed all over the ground and gathered on the ground, vaguely forming the pattern of a guillotine.

If Cheng Shi didn't know that A Ming was the executioner, he really wouldn't be able to tell what this pattern represented.

This is a common evil taste used by the executioners of the "Grand Inquisition", using the blood of the death row prisoners to depict the tools that killed them.

However, the bloody guillotine on the ground was drawn crookedly, obviously not very skillfully.

"Tsk, what a cruel method."

Xu Lu and Bai Ling also trembled when they saw this scene. Only Fang Shiqing looked at A Ming thoughtfully and said nothing.

"Where are we?"

The place where everyone was was a very large room. On the left side were more than a dozen beds lined up side by side, on the right side were various tool tables, clothes of different sizes were hung on the long rack in front, and behind it were several independent small rooms.

The place where Cheng Shi and Fang Shiqing met was obviously in one of them.

Fang Shiqing glanced at Cheng Shi for a few times, and seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, she simply let the matter go, frowned and thought:

"It looks like a servant's room, but it's a little too big. It's big enough to accommodate more than a dozen servants. I've never seen such a large servant's room before. To ensure safety, we should change our clothes first and then go out to explore, so as to avoid conflicts with people outside."

Everyone had no objection and chose a set of clothes to change into, then followed the thigh out of the room.

After making sure the surroundings were safe and meeting a few real servants, they figured out that this was indeed the servants' room.

And there is more than one servant room as big as this one.

Because this is the manor of the Duke of Brooks, and the Duke is holding a grand banquet at this time.

"banquet?"

The hypnotized servant answered excitedly:

"Yes, the Duke has invited all the nobles in the town to a banquet and is going to announce a new refugee bill at the banquet. All refugees from Gasmera will be expelled. We will no longer have a shortage of food, and there will be no less work!"

"So, the memory subject in the previous scene was a servant of the Duke's manor?"

"Huh? Don't you know that York is the Duke's groom?" Cheng Shi added enthusiastically.

Xu Lu heard this, frowned and complained:

"Why are you telling me useful information now?"

Cheng Shi was stunned and asked, "Did you ask?"

"I......"

Xu Lu was furious, but she didn't say anything. She just took a step forward and moved closer to Fang Shiqing.

"Then why would the dwarves, who are refugees, appear in the Duke's manor?" A Ming interrupted the two people's tit-for-tat and asked.

"The Duke wants to expel the refugees, and the refugees naturally don't want to be expelled, so their purpose in coming here isn't obvious, is it, Thigh?"

Cheng Shi said this and looked at Fang Shiqing, but Fang Shiqing didn't want to pay any attention to Cheng Shi at all.

She had a feeling in her heart that Cheng Shi would definitely not tell anyone about the Fire Bearer, but she still didn't understand why Cheng Shi could refuse so straightforwardly.

You know, the talent of moving the heartstrings is not just about simply listening to the music of the heart, it can even vaguely feel the other person's wishes and inclinations.

The voice in Cheng Shi's heart clearly leaned towards acceptance, but he still refused.

What on earth was this person thinking? How could he go against his instincts?

She doesn't understand and doesn't have the time to understand.

So far, nearly 5 hours have passed, and there are 7:14 left in the countdown. They have to speed up because there are still several scenes of memory to go, and they have no idea.

"Personal territory is different from a public place. Any disturbance will quickly cause a riot, especially since this is a duke's estate.

We must have a proper identity. Although the identity of a servant is convenient, there are still many things that we cannot reach.

Next, everyone will split up and hide themselves to see if they can get a new identity. They will meet over there in an hour at most."

As she spoke, Fang Shiqing raised her hand and pointed to a small porch.

"Remember, stay away from the servants' quarters. We haven't dealt with the bodies in there yet, and it's very likely to cause a chain reaction. The closer you are, the easier it will be to discover abnormalities. Now, start the action, and wish us good luck."

Everyone dispersed, and before leaving, Fang Shiqing glanced at Cheng Shi.

Unfortunately, Cheng Shi didn't look at her, but at A Ming.

He watched Ming walk away from the servants' room.

After a long while, when there were no more teammates in sight, Cheng Shi put on a playful smile and then paced back to the place where they had just come from.

The one that everyone avoids...

Servant's room.
