Su Mingxuan followed the maid's footsteps holding up her skirt.

There was a lot of noise in front of the room not far away. After the scream, there were exclamations one after another. It was obvious that other ladies had arrived at the scene.

Su Mingxuan squeezed into the crowd, followed the familiar aura and came to Meiji's side, "Who died?"

Meiji shook her head, remembering that Su Mingxuan couldn't see her, she whispered again: "I don't know, I was here when the screams appeared, but I didn't see the body, so I don't know where I went."

"It took me no more than half a minute. I really don't know who can take away the corpse without leaving any traces in such a short time." Meiji glanced at Su Mingxuan, "You can't either. .”

"That's for sure." Su Mingxuan rubbed his forehead, "Tell me about the current situation first."

"The little follower is not around, so you ordered me?" Meiji gave a "tsk", but did not refuse, and described the current situation to Su Mingxuan, "The one who died was an npc, and the players are still here. Now they We are also observing the situation at the scene.”

"It was also an NPC who found the body, and it has now been taken away by the maid."

"Although it is said that someone died, there was no blood at the scene, and no corpse was seen. Who knows if it is real or fake."

"Maybe it's a good thing the players did." Meiji looked around the room, "Also, there are obvious traces of hanging things on the wall, which looks about the same size as the oil painting in our room, and it is probably also a hanging oil painting. Now it’s gone, only the white walls remain.”

Paintings gone?

Su Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice, "Other than that? Like the knife marks."

"I don't dare to go up for the time being, the maid is watching." Meiji glanced at the maid standing in the corridor, those people quickly returned to normal after being frightened, and were comforting the NPCs who were really terrified. The other ladies didn't care that much.

"So there are no knife marks, I don't know."

Is this so... Su Mingxuan took a few steps back, ready to leave the crowd, he sensed the people on the scene, tearing off the bandages and trying to find clues here is like an idiot, "In that case, I'll go back to my room first have a look."

Meiji looked thoughtfully at the back of Su Mingxuan leaving with her skirt in hand, then looked at the players in the room, and said softly, "It's interesting."

……

……

It wasn't long before Su Mingxuan left the room, and now he hurried back again.

As soon as he opened the door, he didn't care about what was in the room, so he tore off the bandage and looked at the oil painting above the bed.

Originally, there was a female angel with wings hanging on it, but now it has changed—a woman in shabby clothes hides behind the door, she sticks her head out, watching the bright and beautiful crowd in the picture.

There was a strange light in the woman's eyes, and the strokes of oil paint were drawn so vividly. When Su Mingxuan looked over, he felt for a moment that the other party was not looking at the person in the painting, but him.

The oil paintings were swapped.

Su Mingxuan suddenly felt a chill.

Who on earth would be able to take away the NPC's corpse within half a minute, and then exchange the oil painting in the other party's room into his room.

It never took more than 2 minutes for him to leave the room and come back here, and it took half a minute for Meiji to arrive in the npc room, so it was in the one and a half minutes of this interval that the oil paintings in his room were changed.

So where is the replaced female angel?

Why did that mysterious existence change the oil painting?

"The oil painting must represent something, which is related to whether we will trigger the death mechanism in the dungeon." Su Mingxuan stared closely at the woman in the picture, "If you can't find out what your oil painting represents within the specified time, likely to die."

"Then changing the oil painting will change the triggering condition, or..."

Su Mingxuan narrowed his eyes.

——Are you covering up the original trigger condition?

Su Mingxuan slowly exited his room. When he just moved, the degree of deviation increased all the way, and now it has reached 38%. He looked at this number and frowned.

How to do this?

Now that other players are not in the room, it is convenient to go in and check, but if he sneaks in like this, it is estimated that the degree of deviation will reach 50% before he comes out of the first room. The effect is not just for fun.

So is there any way to go in openly and in line with the personality...

etc--

Su Mingxuan thought of something, he covered the bandages, turned around and left the room, pulled a maid and said pitifully: "Someone died just now, I was too scared, I told Fengye, I want to be in the room with her Wait a while."

"But she said she has something to do, and asked me to wait in her room first." Su Mingxuan grabbed the maid's clothes, "Can you take me there first?"

"I don't know which one her room is."

"So that's the case, miss, then I'll take you there." The maid had no doubts about what Su Mingxuan said, and walked forward while supporting the man, while comforting the 'scared' Su Mingxuan, "Miss, don't be afraid, we are very careful about the corpse." It will be settled soon, the ball will continue as normal, and you can still see your beloved Prince, Miss."

"But, but, if someone is dead, why continue the dance?" Su Mingxuan said softly, "I, I want to go home."

"Miss, don't worry, it's fine, the dance will go on as usual." The maid didn't seem to hear Su Mingxuan's question at all, she said what she meant just now, and she didn't reveal any information after all.

The ordinary servants in this dungeon really can't get any information, and they still have to get information from special maids like Maya and Mina.

Su Mingxuan simply shut up, and quietly followed the maid, and finally arrived at the door of the room after a few minutes.

"Miss, here we are." The maid opened the door for Su Mingxuan, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Su Mingxuan suppressed goosebumps: "No need, I'll just stay alone, you must be busy with other things, and suddenly asking you to lead me the way must have disturbed you."

"It's okay, miss. Serving a lady is what a maid should do. Then, I'll leave first." The maid bowed to him and left.

Su Mingxuan let out a long breath, closed the door, and looked at the degree of deviation from the system interface.

【Deviation degree: 30%】

8% drop - better than nothing, anyhow, farther away from 50%.

Su Mingxuan took the lead in looking at the oil painting on the bedside.

As Feng Ye said, the three oil paintings in her room seem to depict a woman's life, from birth to marriage to death, a happy life until the end of her life.

But when Su Mingxuan took a closer look, he found something unusual.

In these three paintings, there is this same ferocious face hidden in the picture.

The bloodshot, protruding eyeballs seem to be looking out of the painting, and the mouth with crooked teeth and drooling is staring longingly at the person outside the painting.

Su Mingxuan took a step back subconsciously.

And the sound of the door suddenly opening behind him made his heart tighten even more.
