I rely on sand sculptures to dissuade dead NPCs

It began to rain heavily over the castle.

The dense clouds smashed down from the gathered clouds, and the sea surface was instantly covered with potholes and depressions.

The huge waves came from the horizon with a white glow, hit the reef, and receded quickly.The air is full of mixed fishy smell, and it seems to have some kind of palpitating smell.

4:35pm.

The tide is starting to rise.

Holding a towel on his head, Yu Yi stood by the window and cast a glance out.

Bean-sized raindrops slammed into the room, and the clouds were so low that they could be touched with a little reach.

He stretched his hand and pulled the window in.

The windows of the castle are made of iron, and mottled rust has grown over the years, and it takes force to close them.

Bang - a sound.

The window was closed by Yu Yi.

He blinked, looking out through the water-stained window pane.

At the foot of the castle, on the edge of the coastline in the distance.

Layers of white pine are tightly wrapped.Shaded by the steep rock face, there is a side of white pines that hardly ever touch the sun, leaning low on one side.

Yue Ge pushed the door open and came out of the bathroom, coughing softly.

Yu Yi turned his head, took off the towel that was soaked in water drops, and walked to his side.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

Yue Ge frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on his abdomen.

He shook his head and lifted a corner of his clothes.

Yu Yi saw a little blood oozing from several unhealed wounds on Yue Ge's lower abdomen, which dropped down almost at the same time.

Yue Ge stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "It will be fine in a while, just rubbed off the scab."

Yu Yi straightened his upper body, and said "um", "Go down."

·

The dinner party started hastily, and the players stood awkwardly in the middle of the hall, gathering together.

Yu Yi stood on the stairs and walked down, Yue Ge changed his clothes and followed him.

So wrong.

Yu Yi's eyes flew over the servants in the hall.

Except for the maid I met in the corridor just now, all the servants in the hall at this moment are male servants.

It seems that apart from the earl's daughter, his wife, and the maid just now, there is no other woman in the entire castle.

Everyone waited in the lobby for 30 minutes, but the Countess was still waiting.

In the 31st minute, she appeared.

Accompanied by a greeting full of smiles.

The countess pulled her male companion to appear at the stairs, and bowed to the guests below.

"Thank you for coming to St. Peter's

There was an exaggerated smile on the corner of Madam's mouth, and the male companion beside her walked down tremblingly, his hair still messy.

His expression was indescribably terrified, and his face looked pale.

It seemed that he had experienced some kind of inhuman torture, or... witnessed something unbelievable.

Yu Yi stared indifferently at the countess's face for a moment.

The countess quickly noticed his gaze, turned her head slightly, and met his gaze.

Yu Yi nodded at her with a sullen face.

The Countess seems... to be younger than before?

The madam raised her chin, ignored her husband's lover's probing eyes, and walked down proudly holding the hem of her skirt.

She glanced at the butler standing in a corner of the hall, and said, "Let's start the feast, Winches."

The butler lowered his head and said, "Okay, madam."

·

The candlelight around the hall was suddenly extinguished.

Yu Yi narrowed his eyes, and subconsciously glanced at Yue Ge who was lazily leaning against the wall.

The butler sat on the piano, raised his arms, and slammed down his fingers softly.

The candlelight in the center of the hall reflected a golden halo.

The countess walked towards Yue Ge, the dark red dress on her body was slightly shining in the candlelight.

Madam raised her hand to Yuege's eyes and said, "Honey, as hosts, shouldn't we perform an opening dance for the guests?"

Yue Ge's position was in the shadow of the hall, and it was difficult for everyone to see his expression clearly.

But Yu Yi saw it very clearly, and even heard Yue Ge answer the countess in a drawn-out tone.

Yue Ge gave a deep laugh, staring at the Countess with his dark eyes unblinking: "As my wife, you should know that I don't know how to dance."

The Countess shook her hands in anger, and twitched her lips with a stiff expression: "Really? Please forgive my abruptness."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked to her male companion, and the two walked under the light and started the first dance of the dinner.

Maybe it was the lack of pressure that caused everyone to let their guard down a bit, or maybe it was the champagne they had quoted earlier that put everyone at ease.

Everyone quickly pulled the people around them and joined the dance floor.

The piano accompaniment gradually accelerated, like a speeding up sewing machine, turning into the floor.

The stabbing gave Yu Yi a headache.

He frowned, and took another step back to the corner.

Yue Ge saw his movements from the corner of his eye, silently glanced at the people on the dance floor, and followed closely.

Yu Yi gave him a strange look:

Yue Ge lowered his head and pushed him against the corner: "It's kind of boring."

Yu Yi expressionless: "Get lost."

With a smile on the corner of Yue Ge's mouth, he rubbed his fingers on his soft lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "I found that you are not good, why are you the same as before—"

Boo, boo——

A few light bangs exploded in the air.

The hall was suddenly lit up with candles, and the butler suddenly stopped moving.

There was silence all around.

The Countess walked from the center of the dance floor with a tense face under the candlelight.

The slender heels made a crisp sound when they hit the ground, which sounded a bit creepy.

Everyone shivered involuntarily.

The lady looked around for a week and said, "It's time, it's time to end our dinner party."

She glanced behind her.

Yu Yi pushed Yue Ge, stood up from the corner, and muttered to him, "You really have no status at all."

Yue Ge: "..."

The butler and his servants quickly removed the table and chairs from the dinner party and replaced them with a huge round table.

Around the round table, 19 chairs were placed.

There are 18 players in total, and there is 1 more player, don't worry about it.

The countess sat down on the seat first, gave up her hand, and said, "Everyone, please sit down, it's time for our game."

In the center of the round table is a stack of ancient cards, similar to poker.

It's already 8pm?

Yu Yi frowned and glanced at the clock in the corner of the hall, the hands landed firmly on 8.

"It's passing too fast." Yue Ge murmured in his ear: "The time flow in this round of the game seems to be twice that of the real world."

Yu Yi let out a "hmm", but still felt that something was wrong.

boom -

Menlei came in muffled through the gate, scaring everyone to their wits.

Yu Yi's pupils tightened suddenly, and he tilted his head slightly: "Time has been divided."

"Huh?" Yue Ge sat beside him, looking at him suspiciously.

Yu Yi: "The thunder I saw from the guest room in the afternoon, the process of forming the shoots is difficult to catch with the naked eye."

It is a short process for the shape of the rapidly impacting current particles in the air to be captured by the human eye.

But... what they saw in the afternoon was the whole process of the complete formation of lightning.

That is to say, the formation time of lightning is several times longer than the instant in reality.

The time outside the castle slowed down, but the time inside the castle decreased.

The time between the entire castle and the outside world split into two diametrically opposite flow rates.

There must be something affecting the area

But... what is it?

Xue Feihen and Xie Qingliao sat next to Yu Yi and Yue Ge.

They also apparently found a problem.

Not even them...

The players glanced at each other across a large round table, and at the same time they looked at the clock in the corner.

The faster time flow means that the 7 days they have to survive in the game has become 3.5 days in real life.

In a sense it's a good thing.

but……

Everyone's face is a little ugly.

They are all people who have experienced the previous game. If something goes wrong, there must be something wrong.

The way things are going makes it hard to think on the bright side.

The countess laughed, her eyes flicked across the faces of the girls in the game.

In the end, it stopped at...Xue Feihen.

Madam hooked her fingertips and shuffled the poker on the table.

The long and pointed nails tapped twice on the table: "My dear girl, come and draw the first one."

Xue Feihen didn't move, and looked at her calmly: "This is not playing cards."

The countess raised her slender eyebrows, her red lips curled up, and her voice was high-pitched and thin: "Of course, dear."

"We're playing the 'Game of Kings'." She propped herself up on the table and stood up.

King game.

Players draw cards at random, and the king calls at random.

The player who gets the number plate has to perform a task according to the order of the king.

The content of the task is prescribed by the... king.

Yue Ge put his elbows on the table and turned his head to look at the countess: "Who will be the king?"

The Countess ran her finger across her lips, where a drop of blood seemed to seep.

Yu Yi half-closed his eyes, watching his wife stick out the tip of her tongue to lick away the blood from her fingers.

The unlucky player sitting next to her visibly flinched when she saw her movements, as if she was afraid of something.

The countess looked over with a smile, her dark blue eyes were full of indescribable viciousness.

She swallowed the drop of blood and exhaled softly: "Of course it's me, dear."

……

The air stagnates for a moment.

Everyone stiffened, not daring to take a breath.

Sure enough, the game is still a familiar formula. Even if there is no escape restriction, everyone must be hacked to death in the plot.

In the king game mode, all players must carry out the king's orders, or receive... punishment.

"What if I refuse to carry out the order?" came the man who was not afraid of death.

Yu Yi turned his upper body, facing the direction of the Countess: "Why don't I participate in this game?"

He looked at the countess sternly: "What is your punishment?"

The countess frowned very quickly, her eyes skipped over Yu Yi and looked at Yue Ge.

Yue Ge smiled and put his hand on Yu Yi's shoulder casually.

A posture of picking someone up at any time.

Encountered two prickly heads.

The countess narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath, and put on the perfect mask again: "Then your punishment is—"

His eyes slipped away sullenly from Yue Ge's face, facing Yu Yi: "...Death."
