Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Fragrant fruity aroma, mellow wine aroma, attractive meat aroma, all kinds of aromas blend together and collide with each other in the air to produce wonderful chemical reactions.

In just one hour, the castle hall was completely changed by the butler.

After changing the gloomy appearance at noon, bright candles burned all around, and servants stood neatly dressed on both sides, and from time to time, some servants passed by carrying silver trays.

Yu Yi's frowning expression was hidden under the mask, holding a warm wooden stick in his hand, he tapped it hard on the ground.

"Were there so many people when we came in in the afternoon?" He asked suddenly.

Yue Ge sullenly shook his head, but didn't speak.

When they first entered the castle, they saw no more than 5 servants, men and women. Now, after a rough scan, there were 20 of them present.

Xue Feihen followed them, with an equally ugly expression on his face.

Such a number of servants is too much for a small castle of a down-and-out baron.

The servant came over and took everyone to their seats one by one.

The delicious food on the table has changed from the darkness at noon, the milky apple baked pie, the edges are fully baked, and the neatly cut beef tongue is bubbling with oil, scurrying around the tip of the nose...

I don't know if others are hungry or not, but Yu Yi is really hungry.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the starving Mr. Fork in his left hand and a knife in his right stared at the fragrant roasted chicken legs.

Everyone: "..."

I really admire it.

In the first round of the game, some people were caught in the food, and some were not. At this time, everyone had different expressions on the table full of delicious food.

Yuege Gujing Wubo's face showed no change, Zhang Heng and Jiang Yuanfan were very hungry, their eyes were full of "I want to eat", Lian Xiao, Gu Nian, Xue Feihen's eyes were full of vigilance, Xue Feihen's eyes even had Confusion beyond vigilance.

He looked at Yu Yi: "..."

After the first round of the game, I really can't figure out how this person is still so interested in eating.

The butler sat in the front chair, wearing a gorgeous dress, like a real castle master.

He picked up the silver spoon and tapped the transparent cup wall.

"Gentlemen and ladies, please allow me to introduce today's ingredients to you before the banquet officially begins."

Yu Yi frowned and looked at him, his gray eyes suddenly became translucent under the light, like perfectly polished glass marbles.

Before the curse was on his lips, he was interrupted by Li Mumu who suddenly changed his personality beside him: "Please."

Li Mumu winked at Yu Yi

Yu Yi didn't understand his good intentions, so he glanced at him and said mockingly, "Little mentally retarded."

Li Mumu: "..."

·

The butler spoke enthusiastically, stood up and talked nonsense.

"Grilled venison, I just sent someone to catch it in the forest behind this afternoon. Beef tongue over charcoal fire..."

Everyone looked at the housekeeper who was entertaining himself with indifference: "..."

The butler suddenly walked to the middle and pointed to the baked pie: "This is a pie baked with fresh apples that I sent someone to the market in Macondo this morning. Please try it, all guests."

Apple pie?

Yu Yi glanced at Gu Nian who was also looking over from the corner of his eye.

Wei Wei nodded to her.

Gu Nian handed the button to Yue Ge, and Yue Ge passed it to Yu Yi with a cold face.

The rest of the people looked inexplicable: "..."

Passing notes in public?

Yu Yi brushed Yue Ge's dry and cold palm with his fingertips, paused for a moment, and picked up the black buttons.

The patterns on the buttons are so unique that they have never seen the same one except for the one the housekeeper dropped in the morning.

Yu Yi let out a 'hum' in his nasal cavity.

Yue Ge tilted his head, and soon went back, as if he couldn't control it, he subconsciously looked towards the familiar voice.

As the butler's voice fell, the dinner officially began.

Zhang Heng held up the knife to slice the steaming apple pie in the middle.

"Wait." Yu Yi stopped suddenly.

Zhang Heng followed the voice and looked over, staring and wanting to get angry.

Yu Yi didn't give him a chance, and smirked at the butler: "Sir, thank you for the sumptuous dinner you prepared for us. It's better to invite you to start the first cut." His gray eyes were close to the butler's, and he didn't intend to give it to the butler at all. other options.

The butler's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

Looking back with a smile: "Of course, please allow me to be rude."

He reached out to put a piece of apple pie on the plate, took a bite and chewed vigorously.

While eating, I made a sound of praise, trying to create a sense of sight of "this is really a delicacy bestowed by heaven".

Unfortunately, no one was fooled.

Zhang Heng, who was about to fork the apple pie, withdrew his hand and looked at Yu Yi in surprise.

In the blind spot that no one can see but only he can see, in the apple pie that was cut off a corner, and the sticky filling flowed out, he saw an unchopped little finger and the corpses of several maggots.

Zhang Heng stared at the butler's chewing mouth: "..."

Meals often last up to 1 hour, and everyone is staring at the meat

……

With a smile on his lips, the butler looked at the leftovers on the table. The apple pie that had been cut off a corner lay intact on the plate.

housekeeper:"……"

What a mistake.

"Next is the dance time, everyone can enter the dance floor and dance freely." The butler picked up the tablecloth and wiped his hands.

He lowered his voice to a maid beside him: "Doris, would you like to dance the opening dance with me?"

Doris in the corner shrank back into the shadows in fright.

He came out hesitantly: "Okay, sir."

The hall was extraordinarily warmed by the fireplace, and the smell of wine gradually fermented in the air, making everyone feel dizzy.

Doris! ——

Except for Zhang Heng, the six people present suddenly woke up, and all looked at the maid who was dancing with the butler.

Zhang Heng lowered his voice and threatened: "Damn it! What's going on?"

Jiang Yuanfan stared at Doris closely: "It's okay."

Zhang Heng almost slapped him on the head, spat on the ground, and pulled a passing maid to join the dance floor.

Jiang Yuanfan rolled his eyes: "..."

Damn, crazy.

Yu Yi stared at the housekeeper and Doris on the dance floor for a long time, then suddenly turned to Gu Nian: "Can you—"

Out of the corner of his eye, he felt a shadow looming in front of him.

Yue Ge's facial features appeared more three-dimensional in the bright hall, as if his genes were mixed with exotic blood.

He stared at Yu Yi with dark eyes, and his cold and white face inexplicably felt seductive under the light.

Yu Yi stared at the opening and closing of his thin lips, as if sneaking into the long past with the deep voice.

Yue Ge said, "Can I invite this gentleman to a dance?"

Yu Yi, who just tried to recall the past, immediately turned dark: "Get out."

Turning her head towards Gu Nian and leaning slightly, she lowered her eyes and stretched out her arms: "Can you invite this beautiful lady to dance with you?"

Gu Nian relied on the tacit understanding he had cultivated with his brothers all morning, the strong man cut his wrist, and put his hand on Yu Yi's hand without returning.

Recklessly said: "My sister is going all out!"

Yu Yi's eyes were full of hesitation, and he wanted to say that it was unnecessary.

Yue Ge stood on the spot, his expression unchanged, his eyes fixed on his tall and straight back, and he didn't move away for a long time.

Lian Xiao came over and stretched out his hand to him carelessly: "Do you mind dancing to a song?"

Yue Ge had a dull expression and shook his head: "Sorry."

Turn away.

Lian Xiao shook his outstretched hand in midair indifferently.

The side music sounded long, and they quickly stepped onto the elegant dance floor.

Yu Yi took Gu Nian to the housekeeper.

She smiled and said, "Would it be an honor to exchange dance partners with you?"

The housekeeper glanced at him with blue eyes and smiled: "Of course."

"Go, dear Doris." He let go of Doris and accepted Gu Nian who was smiling awkwardly.

Yu Yixu clenched his fist, but did not touch Doris.

"Doris, what is the unfinished part of your diary?" He led Doris to the corner by dancing.

Doris stared wide-eyed and looked at him in horror, her lips were bitten with bright red bloodstains.

Yu Yi: "Don't be afraid, we are here to help you, please tell me, what happened on the day my wife passed away?"

Doris opened her mouth, and grasped Yu Yi's arm with rough hands, immediately showing a few red marks.

She desperately stared at Yu Yi's back, as if there was something attracting her gaze.

"I—" Doris was about to continue.

—Boom, boom, boom.

The nine o'clock bell pierced through half the forest and struck with astonishing force.

Doris pushed Yu Yi away abruptly, and said in panic, "I'm sorry, sir, I... I'm sorry."

The music in the hall stopped abruptly.

Everything loses its vitality with the arrival of the bell.

The candlelight suddenly dimmed, and the surroundings returned to the dead silence of the late autumn night. At a certain moment, all the servants disappeared without a sound, as if they had never been there.

The butler stared at Yu Yi for a long time under the dim light, walked over, and said slowly, "Gentlemen and ladies, I think it's time to go to sleep."

After a pause, he added: "There is no fireplace outside the room, please stay in your room honestly, the night is not as charming as it looks."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, preparing to watch the butler leave with heavy expressions.

housekeeper:"……"

Is it my illusion?Why are they like a funeral?

Yu Yi stood where he was, waiting for everyone to go upstairs before moving.

The gray-black eyes looked at the direction that Doris was staring desperately just now, there was a wall blocked there, and the place separated by the wall was the cellar.

Yu Yi shook his head violently, trying to get rid of the disturbing pain, but failed.

The grumpy doctor frowned impatiently and walked over.

A figure stood in front of the cellar door, reflecting the moonlight, almost the same as the person in the two nights in the impression.

Yue Ge turned his head when he heard the sound, his expression became even colder under the faint cold light.

Yu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then walked over

"I thought of a word." He said suddenly.

Yue Ge's response was an abyss of "hmm".

Yu Yi rubbed the pattern on the wooden stick with his hand, and said lightly: "The last word in Doris' diary is not 'car', she wants to write 'cellar', cellar."

Yue Ge's eyes did not change, and he gave him a fixed look, as if he had already thought of this line of thought.

In the diary that Doris tore off, almost all the spellings in the previous few days had the mistake of writing 'a' and 'e' upside down. If she wanted to write 'cellar' as the last word, she would probably put the The two 'e's are written as 'a', and the 'l' is not an unfinished 'r', but hastily left on the 'l'.

……

The castle is quiet at night.

In this extreme silence, the creaking of planks was clearly heard.

Everyone on the second floor lay on the bed and practiced staring at the ceiling.

squeak-

Everyone straightened up vigilantly, their ears wishing they could stand up.

Creak, creak.

Footsteps followed-

Someone has left the room.
