Si Qingxuan was also shrouded in the thick fog, seeing the same scene as the awakened ones.

At the end of the story, Lucia is still buried in this weird castle, while Master Morandon stands there hesitantly, wondering if he can leave smoothly.

Then, the scene darkened.

Si Qingxuan slightly raised his eyebrows, and said, "This is... a discussion later?"

[What is the future talk? 】

"Those who play the plot and the game probably understand it. The later talk is the scene that appears after the end of a plot line. It is basically a supplement to the plot."

[The description of this concept is very appropriate. 】

"This illusion has not been completely unraveled. We have walked into the wrong path, which made it impossible to dig out the deepest truth hidden in this illusion." Si Qingxuan sighed softly, "I know that the incident has not been truly resolved... ...But I didn't expect that after the butler died, this illusion would end directly."

It seems that the butler is actually an important NPC who cannot move at will.

[Now we have to do it all over again... This time, do you still choose to use the identity of Master Morandon? 】

"Yeah." Si Qingxuan thought about it, "Master Morandon has always been special to the steward. Judging from the steward's performance, the young master is the last sacrifice the steward wants to lose, and there must be a reason for it."

To solve this mystery... I guess we have to start with the name Ricardo Morandon.

the other end.

After the fog dissipated, the Awakened sat together again in the carriage heading for the castle.

The wheels crushed the bumpy country roads, making people unable to lift their spirits.Beside them was the potbellied police officer, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage and fell asleep, his snoring reeking of alcohol.

Awakened: "..."

"Why?!" Song Zan covered his face in a panic, "Why are we back on the carriage again? God, I really don't want to see this police officer's face again!"

"The pictures just now have given enough explanation." Domingo pursed his lips, and his stiff facial features also showed a little worry, "After the death of the butler, the castle does not seem to have fully returned to normal. The Morandon family is still suffering. bad luck."

"...This shows that we have taken the wrong strategy route." Zhao Lin commented sharply, "Actually, we still haven't identified the murderer who killed Sophie."

"Didn't the housekeeper kill her?"

"The butler is suspected, but it may not be him. He is collecting sacrifices for his 'god'. If Sophie is listed as one of the sacrifices, then he will not kill her so lightly." According to Analysis He said, "Besides, the butler controls the entire castle. It is not difficult to kill a maid with an excuse. He has thousands of choices. Why did he hang her with great fanfare in the black forest?"

"Perhaps, the butler is actually looking at Sophie's child...?" Garcia speculated thoughtfully, "So after Sophie was killed, she was still wandering around the castle."

There were too many doubts, and they fell silent collectively.

"We're just here to clear up the illusion." Song Zan said wearily, "Why do you act like a real detective, doing some deduction work?"

"Not every illusion is like this." Garcia gently comforted Song Zan. He was almost the most tempered person in the four-member team. Being able to come back again and again is not such a good thing in other illusions. I have a friend who participated in the task of eliminating vampires. He was caught by vampires as soon as he entered. I asked him a question - 'Why don't vampires like spicy food' .My friend didn’t answer, and almost got his neck twisted on the spot... Fortunately, he has a strong ability to survive, and finally fought a [-]-[-] with the vampire, and he won the opponent until dawn."

Song Zan: "Did he beat the vampire?"

Garcia: "Not at all. It's dawn, and it's time for the vampires to sleep."

Song Zan: "..."

Garcia: "It's okay. That vampire is a rare non-human creature that maintains social ability. According to him, vampires are completely different from those weird creatures. They are native species that have evolved for thousands of years and should have The right to survive... Anyway, he has been arguing with our disaster prevention and control sub-bureau for a long time, and finally joined our formation and became our teammate."

Song Zan was silent for a long while, then suddenly asked, "The vampire you mentioned is probably a Chinese species?"

"No. But he has lived for many years, and he has indeed lived in China for half a century. That is the place he has stayed the longest." Garcia said curiously, "But, how do you know?"

Song Zan laughed out loud.

Zhaolin glanced at him.

"Boss, it's really funny... It's not spicy, Blood, vampires like Blood, so they don't eat spicy food. Hahahaha—"

Zhaolin: "..."

He was the only Chinese person present who could understand this joke, but he wished he didn't understand it.

This joke is too fucking cold, right?

Also, I haven't seen how clever Song Zan is usually, why is it like a radar when it comes to cold jokes, and he can guess right?

But no matter what, Garcia's original intention was to make Song Zan happy, and his goal has been achieved.

"Thank you for making me laugh, good brother." Song Zan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and hugged Garcia, "Come to Huaxia as our guest some other day, and I'll treat you to duck blood hot pot!" He ate and ate laughed,

Garcia, who kept smiling but was still confused: "...?"

The carriage was bouncing and came to the gate of the old castle again.

The police officer came to his senses, touched his nose with some embarrassment, cleared his throat, and gave his final instructions: "Ahem, the castle is here. Remember, we are here today just for a formality. Prove that The death of the maid is suicide, so the rumors that the castle is cursed and there are ghosts in the castle can be suppressed. Apart from investigating the case, don’t do unnecessary things, understand?”

The Awakened nodded casually.

In fact, after the police officer got off the carriage, they exchanged glances, which meant: Do you want to pass the level by knocking him down like before?

Domingo thought about it for a while: "I don't recommend it. He is a police officer and knows the history of this castle better than us. We can try to get some information from him."

But... what about the meals provided by the castle?

"Can I assassinate that cook?" Song Zan asked desperately.

Domingo refused gently but firmly: "You can't."

Who knows what hidden plot is on the chef?What if he was a cook with a story?

In the end, they still found a way - to mix the police officer's food with a drug that would cause short-term fainting, and then feed him the antidote while taking advantage of the chaos. Lost trace, never seen again.

"Welcome everyone." The handsome butler appeared in front of them again—Song Zan didn't even bother to count the number of times, "The journey has been hard. We have prepared guest rooms for several of you. The guest rooms have separate bathrooms, which are convenient You use it on weekdays. Food and drinks are also prepared, and they will be delivered to the rooms of several of you soon... Take a short rest, and then discuss the investigation of the case slowly."

The awakened ones who are ready to take the medicine: "..."

what happened?

Why don't you have to have a meal in the living room this time?

A few people were surprised and a little grateful, but they didn't dare to show too obvious emotions.

Only Zhao Lin glanced at the main seat in the living room.

It was empty.

This time, "Master Morandon" did not appear.

Zhao Lin couldn't help thinking, will Si Qingxuan appear in front of them this time as the young master?

But his inner turmoil lasted only for a moment.Soon, he regained his composure.

The butler rang the bell, summoned several servants, and led the awakened ones into their own rooms.

The person who led the way for Zhaolin was also an acquaintance—it was Lucia who they had met several times.

"Mr. Detective." The maid walked up to him, raised her skirt to salute with a smile, her plain and boring attire could not hide her youth and beauty, and Zhao Lin noticed that she even embroidered the skirt at the waist. A circle of patterns makes the waist more slim and light, "Please follow me."

Zhao Lin followed.

They walked through the corridor and began to climb the winding stone staircase.

Looking at the familiar scenery outside a small window, Zhao Lin pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Aren't you the maid next to Morandon?"

Lucia, who was leading the way, was stunned: "How do you know? Is this what makes a detective so good?... But I'm not the young master's personal maid, I just do some simple sweeping work."

This is different from the previous illusion.

Zhao Lin sighed and clenched his fists.

He was led into a familiar room by Lucia.Although they were asked to rest well, the Awakened would sneak out almost every night and gather in one room for assembly.They tend to choose the room in which they are illuminated.Because his room was close to the stairs, he could hear people coming more quickly.

Zhao Lin took off his coat and put it on the wide hanger.The maid Lucia stood on the other side of the door frame, bowing her head to salute him——

In the next second, the door was quickly closed.There was a rustling sound, and it was Lucia who locked the door.

Zhao Lin frowned, hurried to the door, and said loudly: "What are you doing?"

"I'm sorry—please stay in this room honestly!" Lucia's voice pierced through the door, "I will provide you with three meals and water on time, and I will try my best to make your life less difficult!"

"No matter what, I have to do well the task the young master entrusted to me..."

Lucia said the last sentence as if talking to himself.But Zhaolin...can hear clearly.

This is the order of "Master".
