As soon as this person said it, other people also echoed, thinking that the arrangement of the wife of the city lord was extremely unreasonable.
Although they need to rely on the city lord and the city lord's wife to improve their status, when their lives are in danger, almost most of them choose to resist.
Regardless of the obstruction of the mayor's wife, the nobles walked outside the palace in an endless stream.
It's just that when they walked to the place where the wheelless vehicles were parked, they found that all the wheelless vehicles they brought had been driven away.
The palace is on top of a hill, and if they don't get up and down in a wheelless cart, it means they need to walk themselves.
But this mountain is not an ordinary mountain, but a cliff.The pampered nobles had no way to go down the mountain, they could only watch helplessly as the servants sent by the wife of the city lord invited them back into the palace.
After most of the people who went out just now came back, the lady of the city lord showed an elegant smile.
"I know everyone's feelings. After all, everyone who appeared here today is suspected of being a murderer. I want to leave here more than you." She said, "But because of this, we can't leave easily. Because If the murderer is among us, he will be looking for a needle in a haystack after leaving this palace."
"Madam is responsible for this city and everyone's safety." The Lord of Saint Wing City added in a timely manner, "You are nobles, and you should perform your duties even more."
These nobles looked at each other when they heard the words.
They have always only had the responsibility of eating, drinking and having fun, and the city lord is the same as them. The sudden accusation made them feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Okay, I've ordered to go down and arrange rooms for everyone, so let's live in the palace temporarily." The lady of the city owner said, "I will also ask the guards to protect everyone's safety."
She paused and added: "It's just that you need to stay in the room as much as possible, otherwise you may encounter some accidents."
Seeing this, the nobles had no other choice, so they nodded and agreed.
They were led by the servants and went to rest in their respective rooms. There were fewer people in the corridor, and only the servants in the palace were dealing with the aftermath of Mrs. Renluomei's body.
Yu She saw that Mrs. Ren Luomei's body was thrown on a cart like rubbish, covered with a piece of cloth casually, and dragged to an unknown place.
People are only obsessed with her amorous feelings when she was alive, but no one cares about her after her death.
Like a withered flower garden after spring, it is difficult to get a look from passers-by.
At this moment, the wife of the city lord led the city lord to the side of Yu She.
She said with a noble smile on her face: "Mr. Yu She, you must be surprised."
Yu She said, "I was just surprised, after all, she was still alive the day before yesterday."
The lady of the city lord heard the words and said: "I was more surprised than you. I thought she would still be entangled in my life."
The Lord of the Holy Wing City patted the hand held by his wife: "Madam, don't mention this matter again."
The mayor's wife looked at him: "I hope she is the last one."
After finishing speaking, the wife of the city lord asked Yu She to go back to rest, and left here with the city lord.
Yu She looked at their backs, faintly feeling a sense of disobedience.It was as if the two had come to him on purpose to perform a scene.
He intuited that Mrs. Renluomei's death had something to do with the couple.
Especially the wife of the city lord, the suspicion is even greater.
Mrs. Lun Luomei was invited by her, and the other party also came to kill her, but she didn't expect to be killed when the plan failed.
But Mrs. Ren Luomei was assassinated, because of the rules, the person who killed her would be backlashed by the rules.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the wife of the city lord to do it herself.
If the wife of the city lord sent someone to kill her, then the murderer who killed Mrs. Ren Luomei must have died by now.
"Mr. Yu She." Kuina, who had been pretending to be an attendant, suddenly lowered his voice, "This city lord has a bloody smell, which is very weak, but the old man can smell it."
Yu She was enlightened immediately when he heard the words.
Why did he bother with the clue that the murderer was backlashed by the rules.
It is very likely that the murderer was not a human being at all, but a walking corpse.
How could a walking dead be backlashed by the rules.
"I didn't expect that he cut off the contact with Mrs. Lenomey himself." Yu She said.
He approached Quina and whispered a few words in his ear, Quina nodded and left here, and his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
At this time, Xuexue, who was moved out of the room by the servants and placed on a chair, groaned.
"Sir, what's wrong with me?" She dimly opened her eyes and asked Yu She in front of her.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, exclaimed in a low voice, and quickly covered her mouth.
"Madam, where is Madam!" She sat up straight suddenly, "Is Madam dead?!"
She looked at Yu She as if asking for proof, and after seeing Yu She nodded, she showed an indescribable expression.
It also seemed to be relieved, and it seemed to be silently mourning for his bleak future.
Seeing this, Yu She grabbed a passing maid and asked her to help arrange a room for Xuexue.
The maid thought that Xuexue was Yu She's servant, so she nodded in agreement without saying a word, and waited for Xuexue to follow her.
"Find an opportunity to meet Mrs. Ren Luomei's housekeeper." Yu She said, "He should vote for democracy for his own future."
"Thank you, sir." Xuexue said emotionally, "This is the third time you have helped me."
"It's not really helpful." Yu She said, "It's just a little effort."
"This is an extremely precious kindness to me." Xuexue saluted Yu She after she finished speaking, and walked towards the waiting maid.
She walked a few steps, then stopped suddenly, and turned her head to look at Yu She.
Seemingly hesitating, her figure paused, and then quickly walked towards Yu She's direction.
"Sir——" her face turned red, "Sir, do you still need a maid? I am very capable and can do everything. I want to follow a good person like Mr."
Yu She didn't expect that she would recommend herself, and was stunned for a second.
Xuexue looked anxious, she didn't dare to look at him, she kept rubbing the fabric of her skirt with her fingers, like a prisoner waiting for the judge's sentence, waiting for Yu Amnesty's decision.
"Sorry, I--"
Before Yu She could finish speaking, she showed a big and forced smile: "It's okay! I'm just giving it a try. Mister will definitely have various considerations, so I didn't have much hope at first."
After she finished speaking, she saluted again, turned around and followed the maid.
Yu She looked at her back and felt like he had hurt a little girl's heart.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something crawling on his arm. He looked down and saw that Ting Mu was holding his sleeve, his body was half suspended in the air, like a cotton ball accidentally stuck to his clothes.
Seeing him looking over, Ting Mu suddenly let go of one paw, raised it to the side of his head, and made a gesture of washing his face.
Yu She saw it for two seconds: "...Are you acting cute?"
If Xuexue, a weak little girl, came to the dungeon, she would probably be scared to death by these companions.
He was walking to his room, and on the way he met Muse holding hands with a little girl.
Muse was playing a game with her, and the little girl smiled happily, a light pink ruddy surfaced on her chubby face.She was wearing a shiny skirt, trembling like fluffy clouds.
At this moment, both of them saw Yu She.
Muse stood up and led the little girl over.
"Mr. Yu She, this is the youngest daughter of the city lord." Muse explained. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and said to the little girl, "Miss Jenny, this is my master, Mr. Yu She."
"Mr. Yu She, hello." The little girl saluted Yu She very politely.
"Hello, Miss Jenny." Yu She called a little girl Miss for the first time, and felt a little funny for a while, but considering the high status of the castellan's family in Saint Wing City, I'm afraid this little girl has long been used to adults. their name.
"Sister Muse kept mentioning you just now." Sure enough, Jenny didn't feel uncomfortable at all because of Yu She's address, but chatted with Yu She very naturally.
"Oh? What did she mention about me?" Yu She glanced at Muse calmly.
"She said she had a master who was handsome, mighty and imposing," said Jenny.
Yu She suspected that Muse was mocking him for a moment, but Muse's eyes were extremely sincere, as if what she said to Jeni was the true feeling from her heart.
Yu She thought of the virtues of the other servants in the dungeon, and suddenly felt that he was too worried.
"How did the lady feel when she saw me?" he asked.
"I think Mr. Yu She is very handsome, but also very kind." Jenny blinked her eyes like black pearls, "It's not as distant as Sister Muse described."
Yu She only thinks Jeni's grown-up, serious look is very cute.
He was about to squat down and touch Jenny's little head when the expression on Jenny's face suddenly became serious.
She said: "It's just that Mr. Yu She had better not have too much contact with my mother."
Yu She's outstretched hand stopped in the air: "Why?"
Jenny said: "Because the sisters who used to play with me before are all gone."
Yu She frowned slightly: "What is the relationship between those sisters and the wife of the city lord?"
"They are all my mother's personal servants," replied Jenny.
"So you suspect that they were driven away by your mother?" Yu She didn't say that word directly, but replaced it with another mild word.
"My mother is very kind, and she often brings people who are about to starve to death into the palace to fill their stomachs." Jenny did not directly answer Yu She's question.
"Where did those people go after their stomachs were full?" Yu She asked.
"Perhaps back down the mountain," Jenny said. "I never saw them again."
When Yu She heard this, he cast a glance in the corridor from the corner of his eye.
The guest rooms in this corridor are now full, and if they keep talking in the corridor, they can easily be heard by others.
Thinking of this, he opened the door of the room and let Muse lead the little girl into the room.
However, when Jenny walked to the door, her feet seemed to be glued to the carpet, and she stopped taking a step inside.
"Mr. Yu She, I won't go in to play." Her eyes became dim, "In short, please be careful, this palace is not as simple as you see."
"Why did you tell me this?" Yu She could no longer treat Jeni as an ordinary girl.
"I don't want sister Muse to disappear." Jenny said as she let go of Muse's hand, bowed to Yu She, then turned and left bouncing around.
"How did you please her?" Yu She looked at Muse strangely.
"Well—I gave her the tail to play with," said Muse.
"..."
"My lord, do you want me to erase her memory?" Muse sensed something was wrong, stretched out her hand and scratched her head.
"Go quickly." Yu She said speechlessly.
Because there is no night in the Holy Wing City, when it was time to rest, the servants drew thick black curtains in the palace to block out the intruding sunlight.
In the entire palace, it was dark, there were no servants walking around in the corridors and halls, everything was quiet.
This kind of tranquility in the daytime has a strong sense of disobedience.It seems that this place is just a building that has been abandoned for many years, and no one has used it for a long time.
But the people living here have long been accustomed to the scene of the daylight alley, and they all fell asleep, or they were on guard against the unknown enemy.
At this moment, Yu She was awakened by the sound of the system.
He got up and walked to the door, and opened the locked door.
Quinnah stood outside, eyes shining brightly in the dim shadows of the corridor.
"My lord, something has happened." Quina said.
Yu She hurriedly put on his robe, and put Ting Mu shrunk into a ball into the pocket containing the "sandbag".
Muse also quickly sat up from the sofa, rubbed her eyes and followed.
They followed Quina to a corner of the palace.I saw Quina lightly touched the wall twice with his hand, and the wall in front of him was opened, revealing a deep staircase.
Yu She suddenly smelled a particularly dull breath because of the lack of ventilation.
The torches below the passage flickered, illuminating the surroundings.
This secret underground space does not have any decorations, the walls are all exposed bricks and stones, and it is narrow and narrow, making people who walk in it feel depressing.
The three walked in, with Quina leading the way, familiar with the passage below as if he was the master here.
Soon Yu She discovered that this place seemed to be a prison, and there were still some prisoners in it.At this moment, the prisoners were all sleeping, and some of them were awakened by the footsteps of the three of them. After opening their eyes and looking at them, they fell asleep again.
"There is also an interrogation room in the dungeon, so it doesn't seem strange that there is a prison here." Yu She thought to himself.
They walked for a while, and the cells of the prisoners gradually disappeared, and Quina suddenly opened another secret door at a corner.
"The old man came here with that woman, she has gone back now, we can go in and have a look." Quina turned to Yu She said.
Yu She nodded and walked into the secret door together with him.
Behind the secret door is another corridor, but this time there is only one room inside.
There was no need for Quina to remind, Yu She could already smell a smell of oil and wax.It seemed that the room in front was filled with grease.But the oil is mixed with essence, and it smells a strong fragrance.
After this fragrance and the taste of oil are mixed together, it becomes particularly greasy.
The smell is thick, as if to cover up something.
The door in front of him was pushed open, and what came into view was the condensed grease clinging to the door frame.
Even the walls are covered with a thick layer of buttercream, which looks like the way they like to pour a layer of white chocolate on desserts before the end of the world.
It's just that the smell here is far less mellow than chocolate, and you may even feel dizzy after smelling it for a long time.
"There used to be a lot of things in this room, but now they seem to be covered with this grease." Muse said, looking around.
Yu She also saw some tables and chairs placed in the corner, but they didn't look like tables and chairs at all, they were covered with a thick layer of grease, which was a bit larger than the original volume.
Going further in, there is no light at all.
In such a room full of grease, if a long-burning torch were placed, it would probably set the palace on fire.
After they walked in, Yu She directly took out a flashlight.But Quina and Muse are born with the ability to easily see things in the dark without the need for light.
The light of the flashlight suddenly stopped at a place in front of him, and Yu She stopped walking.
He saw several people standing in front of him, several people covered in white and naked.
But when he took a closer look, it turned out that it was not a naked person, but several humanoid sculptures similar to window models.
It's just that the sculpture is covered with a layer of grease, so it looks like a person without clothes.
It's just that these humanoid statues are placed in the middle of the road, which is a bit too weird.
They walked a little further, passing among the statues.
Although he knew that they were dead objects, Yu She still had the feeling of being stared at when he passed by.
He wrapped his robe tightly, keeping himself out of contact with the statues as much as possible, so as not to get this weird grease.
"Kuina, can you recognize where this oil comes from?" Yu She asked.
"It smells like a monster, my lord." Quina said, "but there are some weird smells mixed in, which makes the old man feel very special."
After entering through the door, the field of vision suddenly widened, but followed by a more intense taste.
There are also many stone sculptures wrapped in white oil wax standing by the wall, lined up in rows, looking like dedicated guards, guarding a certain treasure.
Yu She used a flashlight to shine a light on it, and he found that the more the stone statues were placed outside, the more delicate they looked.The white wax on the top outlines the fine outlines.
Including eyebrows and hair, all the details are lifelike.It is very different from the stone sculptures at the door that are completely invisible due to the condensation of grease.
The light of the flashlight moved to the side again, behind the outermost one, placed on the row of stone statues behind, the lace of the clothes or the details of the facial features will be blurred.
He held up the flashlight and approached the rows of stone statues. After approaching, he looked across the gap to the third row.
The details of the third row are more scribbled, and only a rough outline can be seen.Similarly, the grease on the top is thicker than the previous two rows.
"These oils and waxes are too different." Yu She pondered, "Could it be because they were placed in this room in a different order?"
"Very likely." Quina replied, "Look, my lord, the light you shine on it can't penetrate the last row of grease, but the first row can vaguely see the appearance of the stone statue in the middle."
After Quina finished speaking, he suddenly paused, rolled up his sleeves, and many dark brown feathers grew on his arms.
He plucked one with his other hand, and the deformed arm returned to its original shape, and the feather remained in his hand.
He inserted the end of the feather into the congealed grease on one of the statues in the first row.
The feather seemed to be made of metal, like cutting tofu, easily submerged into the hard-looking fat.
When the feather touched the contents through the grease, Quina's expression changed, and he pulled out the feather, controlling a small flame to burn the feather.
"What's wrong, Kuina?" Yu She asked.
"My lord, what's inside are not stone sculptures." Quina said, "They're people."
Hearing this, Yu She carefully observed the "stone statues" in the first row.
That's when he discovered a point that had been overlooked just now.
Some of these "stone statues" wear the uniforms of servants, and they are the uniforms of female servants.
The other part, in rags, looks like it's had a rough day.
These "stone statues" obviously do not meet the standards of aesthetics, without the fluttering belt of the clothes, and there is no burly and solemn armor.
The characteristics of these "stone statues" all conform to the description of the city lord's daughter Jenny.
She said before that the maids around her mother had disappeared.
And her mother often invites civilians to come to the palace to provide food for civilians.
Looking around, most of the "stone statues" in this room are these two types of people.
"Kuina, can you melt the grease on one of the 'stone statues'?" Yu She asked.
Quina nodded, the fat of the "stone statue" that he submerged with feathers just now was melting away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A pool of transparent liquid piled up on the ground, and suddenly, a corpse fell, splashing the grease that had turned into liquid.
Quina turned the corpse over with a strong wind.
Yu She saw that the corpse was wearing a uniform of a maid that can be seen everywhere in the palace, with a frightened expression on his face, and his skin was as pale as rice paper soaked in water.
Her mouth was wide open, and her throat had been scalded by the fat melted by the high temperature, exposing her bloody throat cavity.
Yu She didn't know exactly how she died, but she must have been sealed in these oils immediately after her death, so she didn't look rotten at all.
"Miss Jenny's question has been answered." Muse looked at the maid on the ground and replied.
Yu She raised his head and roughly counted the wax figures in this room.
Close to a hundred.
If they were all killed by the city lord's wife, then this woman has the appearance of an angel and the heart of a devil.
At this time, he found that there was another door next to this room.It's just that it was blocked by the wax figure just now, so I didn't see it for a while.
There is a mirror reflection, shining from the door.
Yu She took a step to the side, and happened to see his own figure reflected on the mirror.
Seeing that he wanted to enter that room, Quina immediately waved the surrounding wax figures aside.
After clearing the roadblock, the room was completely exposed to them.
It was a dark room with a wooden floor, and a full-length mirror with a height of one person was placed on one side. There were some stains on the mirror, which made it difficult to see clearly.
On the floor of the room, a pattern was painted with dark paint, somewhat like a six-pointed star that summoned demons, but it was not completely symmetrical.
And in the middle of the pattern, a person is sleeping.
The author has something to say:
Although they need to rely on the city lord and the city lord's wife to improve their status, when their lives are in danger, almost most of them choose to resist.
Regardless of the obstruction of the mayor's wife, the nobles walked outside the palace in an endless stream.
It's just that when they walked to the place where the wheelless vehicles were parked, they found that all the wheelless vehicles they brought had been driven away.
The palace is on top of a hill, and if they don't get up and down in a wheelless cart, it means they need to walk themselves.
But this mountain is not an ordinary mountain, but a cliff.The pampered nobles had no way to go down the mountain, they could only watch helplessly as the servants sent by the wife of the city lord invited them back into the palace.

Quinnah stood outside, eyes shining brightly in the dim shadows of the corridor.
"My lord, something has happened." Quina said.
Yu She hurriedly put on his robe, and put Ting Mu shrunk into a ball into the pocket containing the "sandbag".
Muse also quickly sat up from the sofa, rubbed her eyes and followed.
They followed Quina to a corner of the palace.I saw Quina lightly touched the wall twice with his hand, and the wall in front of him was opened, revealing a deep staircase.
Yu She suddenly smelled a particularly dull breath because of the lack of ventilation.
The torches below the passage flickered, illuminating the surroundings.
This secret underground space does not have any decorations, the walls are all exposed bricks and stones, and it is narrow and narrow, making people who walk in it feel depressing.
The three walked in, with Quina leading the way, familiar with the passage below as if he was the master here.
Soon Yu She discovered that this place seemed to be a prison, and there were still some prisoners in it.At this moment, the prisoners were all sleeping, and some of them were awakened by the footsteps of the three of them. After opening their eyes and looking at them, they fell asleep again.
"There is also an interrogation room in the dungeon, so it doesn't seem strange that there is a prison here." Yu She thought to himself.
They walked for a while, and the cells of the prisoners gradually disappeared, and Quina suddenly opened another secret door at a corner.
"The old man came here with that woman, she has gone back now, we can go in and have a look." Quina turned to Yu She said.
Yu She nodded and walked into the secret door together with him.
Behind the secret door is another corridor, but this time there is only one room inside.
There was no need for Quina to remind, Yu She could already smell a smell of oil and wax.It seemed that the room in front was filled with grease.But the oil is mixed with essence, and it smells a strong fragrance.
After this fragrance and the taste of oil are mixed together, it becomes particularly greasy.
The smell is thick, as if to cover up something.
The door in front of him was pushed open, and what came into view was the condensed grease clinging to the door frame.
Even the walls are covered with a thick layer of buttercream, which looks like the way they like to pour a layer of white chocolate on desserts before the end of the world.
It's just that the smell here is far less mellow than chocolate, and you may even feel dizzy after smelling it for a long time.
"There used to be a lot of things in this room, but now they seem to be covered with this grease." Muse said, looking around.
Yu She also saw some tables and chairs placed in the corner, but they didn't look like tables and chairs at all, they were covered with a thick layer of grease, which was a bit larger than the original volume.
Going further in, there is no light at all.
In such a room full of grease, if a long-burning torch were placed, it would probably set the palace on fire.
After they walked in, Yu She directly took out a flashlight.But Quina and Muse are born with the ability to easily see things in the dark without the need for light.
The light of the flashlight suddenly stopped at a place in front of him, and Yu She stopped walking.
He saw several people standing in front of him, several people covered in white and naked.
But when he took a closer look, it turned out that it was not a naked person, but several humanoid sculptures similar to window models.
It's just that the sculpture is covered with a layer of grease, so it looks like a person without clothes.
It's just that these humanoid statues are placed in the middle of the road, which is a bit too weird.
They walked a little further, passing among the statues.
Although he knew that they were dead objects, Yu She still had the feeling of being stared at when he passed by.
He wrapped his robe tightly, keeping himself out of contact with the statues as much as possible, so as not to get this weird grease.
"Kuina, can you recognize where this oil comes from?" Yu She asked.
"It smells like a monster, my lord." Quina said, "but there are some weird smells mixed in, which makes the old man feel very special."
After entering through the door, the field of vision suddenly widened, but followed by a more intense taste.
There are also many stone sculptures wrapped in white oil wax standing by the wall, lined up in rows, looking like dedicated guards, guarding a certain treasure.
Yu She used a flashlight to shine a light on it, and he found that the more the stone statues were placed outside, the more delicate they looked.The white wax on the top outlines the fine outlines.
Including eyebrows and hair, all the details are lifelike.It is very different from the stone sculptures at the door that are completely invisible due to the condensation of grease.
The light of the flashlight moved to the side again, behind the outermost one, placed on the row of stone statues behind, the lace of the clothes or the details of the facial features will be blurred.
He held up the flashlight and approached the rows of stone statues. After approaching, he looked across the gap to the third row.
The details of the third row are more scribbled, and only a rough outline can be seen.Similarly, the grease on the top is thicker than the previous two rows.
"These oils and waxes are too different." Yu She pondered, "Could it be because they were placed in this room in a different order?"
"Very likely." Quina replied, "Look, my lord, the light you shine on it can't penetrate the last row of grease, but the first row can vaguely see the appearance of the stone statue in the middle."
After Quina finished speaking, he suddenly paused, rolled up his sleeves, and many dark brown feathers grew on his arms.
He plucked one with his other hand, and the deformed arm returned to its original shape, and the feather remained in his hand.
He inserted the end of the feather into the congealed grease on one of the statues in the first row.
The feather seemed to be made of metal, like cutting tofu, easily submerged into the hard-looking fat.
When the feather touched the contents through the grease, Quina's expression changed, and he pulled out the feather, controlling a small flame to burn the feather.
"What's wrong, Kuina?" Yu She asked.
"My lord, what's inside are not stone sculptures." Quina said, "They're people."
Hearing this, Yu She carefully observed the "stone statues" in the first row.
That's when he discovered a point that had been overlooked just now.
Some of these "stone statues" wear the uniforms of servants, and they are the uniforms of female servants.
The other part, in rags, looks like it's had a rough day.
These "stone statues" obviously do not meet the standards of aesthetics, without the fluttering belt of the clothes, and there is no burly and solemn armor.
The characteristics of these "stone statues" all conform to the description of the city lord's daughter Jenny.
She said before that the maids around her mother had disappeared.
And her mother often invites civilians to come to the palace to provide food for civilians.
Looking around, most of the "stone statues" in this room are these two types of people.
"Kuina, can you melt the grease on one of the 'stone statues'?" Yu She asked.
Quina nodded, the fat of the "stone statue" that he submerged with feathers just now was melting away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A pool of transparent liquid piled up on the ground, and suddenly, a corpse fell, splashing the grease that had turned into liquid.
Quina turned the corpse over with a strong wind.
Yu She saw that the corpse was wearing a uniform of a maid that can be seen everywhere in the palace, with a frightened expression on his face, and his skin was as pale as rice paper soaked in water.
Her mouth was wide open, and her throat had been scalded by the fat melted by the high temperature, exposing her bloody throat cavity.
Yu She didn't know exactly how she died, but she must have been sealed in these oils immediately after her death, so she didn't look rotten at all.
"Miss Jenny's question has been answered." Muse looked at the maid on the ground and replied.
Yu She raised his head and roughly counted the wax figures in this room.
Close to a hundred.
If they were all killed by the city lord's wife, then this woman has the appearance of an angel and the heart of a devil.
At this time, he found that there was another door next to this room.It's just that it was blocked by the wax figure just now, so I didn't see it for a while.
There is a mirror reflection, shining from the door.
Yu She took a step to the side, and happened to see his own figure reflected on the mirror.
Seeing that he wanted to enter that room, Quina immediately waved the surrounding wax figures aside.
After clearing the roadblock, the room was completely exposed to them.
It was a dark room with a wooden floor, and a full-length mirror with a height of one person was placed on one side. There were some stains on the mirror, which made it difficult to see clearly.
On the floor of the room, a pattern was painted with dark paint, somewhat like a six-pointed star that summoned demons, but it was not completely symmetrical.
And in the middle of the pattern, a person is sleeping.
