bayonet and rose

The eight people sat down in silence, Jin Xi looked around the crowd, after a few minutes he patted the table and said: "There are only eight people left, the worst may have already happened - if our cards are all different, no one will If you can’t match, you can only be eliminated one by one.”

Lin Zijuan leaned on the seat, crossed his fingers and slightly squeezed his knuckles.Among the remaining eight people, all he knew clearly was the cards of himself and Hua Zhai, a 7 of spades and a 3 of hearts.

When forcing Zhen Cheng out of the checkpoint, Xu Rushui exposed that her card could not be the Ace of Hearts.At that time, there were four other people who went out to stop Xu Rushui. Coincidentally, these four people were still there. They were Jin Xi, Xue Xiaoqiang, the armored man and another younger girl.

These four people may be paired with Zhen Cheng's brand Ace of Hearts.

In the end, there was only one teenage boy left, Lin Zijuan glanced in the boy's direction calmly.This young man has always been relatively silent, both in appearance and in appearance, and his sense of presence has never been high.

He has always been law-abiding, he doesn't go out to explore the maze, he doesn't play tricks, of course he is lucky, so far he hasn't been called by the housekeeper to answer any questions.

Roughly calculated in this way, the chances of Lin Ziyu meeting another passer with a license plate of 7 are extremely low.

Lin Zijuan glanced at Jin Xi, the old man could hold his breath now, and he didn't stop some passers-by who wanted to go to the maze in the afternoon, changing his previous irritable, authoritarian and overly cautious style.

After a few more minutes, the butler stepped on the spot and walked in to carry out his daily regular activities-the question-and-answer session.

The large dining table that can accommodate [-] people is a little empty now, and the tableware that is served every day is based on the actual head, but the table has remained unchanged, clearly showing the progress of elimination in front of everyone.

On the fifth day after entering the castle, nine people had already been eliminated.

The butler didn't directly call names today. He looked at the crowd, and unexpectedly said a few polite words: "Is today's food not to your taste? All the guests seem to have lost their appetites?"

……

Now dinner is basically equivalent to a quiz for elimination. It is normal to have a stomachache just thinking about it, and it is normal not to be able to eat.

Xu Rushui was impatient and urged: "Hurry up, whose head do you plan to take today?"

The butler's expression remained unchanged, and he pointed his palm outward at the armored man, "Today, please answer the question—may I ask who smashed the master's beloved vase?"

This is the third time this question has been asked. The first time the answer was that the steward broke it, it was wrong. The second time the answer was that the master broke it himself, it was still wrong.

The armored man who was named was a little caught off guard, with a tangled expression—he took off his helmet for the convenience of eating, but the iron sheet on his body was still tightly covered, creaking as he looked around.

He stared at everyone, obviously asking for help, but it was a pity that there was really no way to solve this problem.

As time passed, the armored man's facial features became more distorted, and finally he sighed resignedly and said, "I don't know."

The remaining seven people, except for Hua Zhai, were all staring at him. Hearing the armor man's words that amounted to self-abandonment, the old man Jin Xi opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

In just a few breaths of space, many different thoughts floated through everyone's minds.

The butler's smile seemed to widen a bit, but it returned to normal in the blink of an eye, "The answer is correct."

The butler said clearly.

"Ah?" The armored man was the first to realize that he couldn't believe such a thing happened.

Xue Xiaoqiang frowned, stretched out his hand and pointed, "Is he right?"

The housekeeper nodded, "The answer is that I don't know, even I don't know who broke the vase."

You don't know the answer and still use it to ask questions?

Xue Xiaoqiang tried his best to hold back his complaints, coughed lightly, and asked in a more formal tone: "Is this okay? Even the questioner doesn't know the answer. Personally, I don't think this can be regarded as a standard question. "

The butler just laughed and didn't answer.

After a few seconds, the voice of supervisor Zheng Qian came over unexpectedly, "No problem, it conforms to the level setting. Please continue to break through the level according to the rules."

Now that the supervisor said so, Xue Xiaoqiang had no choice but to have no doubts, curled his lips and did not speak again.

The steward bowed and retreated, but Zheng Qian was not in a hurry to retreat behind the scenes. He laughed a few times and revealed maliciously: "There are still eight people left. This progress is good. The remaining passers-by in King K are now It is the most, and I am looking forward to the final result."

"Is the difficulty of King K the highest?" the man in armor asked hastily.

Zheng Qian didn't make any more sound.

Not long after, the butler appeared for the second time, announcing that the dinner time was over, and all passers-by were invited to return to their rooms to rest.

"There is a time limit even for a meal." Xue Xiaoqiang complained casually.

In fact, the dinner time left for them is not short, but important things always happen during the period, which prevents them from having a good meal.Before the question and answer began, people were panicked, but after the question and answer ended, they were relieved for a while, and it was not long before the time came again.

Xue Xiaoqiang just said this casually, and he didn't care about it after he finished speaking, he stood up suddenly, copied the bread and prepared to go back to the room to eat.

Just when he turned around, the butler said quietly: "My master never delays in eating, and the dinner time left for you is already ten times the average meal time of my master."

Xue Xiaoqiang: "..."

The housekeeper continued: "The current passers-by really don't have any sense of crisis at all."

Xue Xiaoqiang took a bite of the bread, unexpectedly he was despised by an NPC in the checkpoint.He intends to refute a few words, but then he thinks that there is really no need to care about an NPC, so he holds back and goes back to the room, out of sight and out of sight.

It's just that after he turned around, the aggrieved expression on his face immediately disappeared, and he took on a thoughtful look.

The butler watched Xue Xiaoqiang go away with a smile, and when Xue Xiaoqiang's back completely disappeared, the corners of his mouth seemed to be pulled upwards.

Looking at it from Lin Ziyu's point of view, it seemed like he was mocking Xue Xiaoqiang.

The others left one after another, and finally Linziyu and Huazhai were left. The butler looked at them and said politely, "Dear guests, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"When will your master come back?" Lin Ziqian asked.

The butler looked calm: "I have no right to interfere with the master's affairs."

"Really." Lin Ziyu said calmly, without asking.

Hua Zhai stood up from the chair, handed a hand to Lin Ziqian, pulled him up, and the two slowly walked back to the room.

The butler stood there watching them, the lights of the restaurant gradually dimmed, and finally swallowed the butler completely into the darkness.

·

"Does President Lin have any ideas?"

After entering the room, Hua Zhai gently closed the door, turned his back to Lin Ziyu and asked.

Lin Zijuan sat down on a chair in the dark, waiting for Huazhai to light up the lamp, "There are only points of concern, not a complete idea."

Hua Zhai walked towards the table, he walked very lightly, Lin Zijuan could only see a black shadow moving in front of him, but could not hear any footsteps.

After lighting the oil lamp, Hua Zhai sat on the table with one hand propped up, one foot stepped on the edge of the chair, and looked straight into Lin Ziyu's eyes.

He leaned over slightly, like a prelude to a kiss, but stopped there, without further movements.

Lin Zijuan lazily leaned on the back of the chair, "No matter what the butler's actions are pre-set or for other reasons, in short, he has successfully pushed the element of 'master' to us, and the next question about dinner will also be solved. It may continue to be related to the master, and from tomorrow onwards, other people should also focus on the master."

But in this castle, the traces of the "master" are really limited, basically only in the mouth of the housekeeper, and finally there is a "beloved vase", and it is not known which person on the road broke it.

Lin Zijuan put the "Master" aside for the time being, and stretched out his hand to make a "four" towards Hua Zhai, "There are four people who will stop Xu Rushui."

All four of them jumped out knowing Zhen Cheng's cards, and the most likely reason was that they could be paired with Zhen Cheng's cards.

But there are only four suits in a deck of cards.

So someone has re-applied suits, or someone has ulterior motives.

The sixth day

Lin Ziqian slept restlessly. When he woke up in the morning, he found that he had turned 180 degrees on the bed and slept from the head of the bed to the end of the bed with the pillow.

Hua Zhai sat cross-legged beside him, staring at Lin Zi Prison very intently, and his pillow moved to the end of the bed along with Lin Zi Prison.

It was very bright outside, Lin Zijuan reached out and touched the bed beside him, it was freezing cold, it seemed that Hua Zhai had been up for a long time.

Sure enough, Hua Zhai doesn't need sleep.

"You don't even need to sleep?" Probably because he was a little slack in the morning, Lin Zijuan casually asked this question that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Hua Zhai smiled, and his tone was not very serious: "For every minute of sleep, I lose 1 seconds of time to see you."

Lin Ziyu: "Pretend I didn't ask."

Hua Zhai continued, reciting affectionate lines in an artificial tone: "I don't want to miss every stage of you."

After listening to a few more words, Lin Ziyu got used to this setting, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little, and he followed Hua Zhai down with great interest, "According to this, if you have the chance, don't you have to go back to my childhood and personally Teach me to speak and write?"

Hua Zhai did not nod in recognition, he turned against the light, did not speak, and only looked at Lin Zi Prison for a long time.

Lin Ziyu also stopped the smile just now, and looked at Hua Zhai.

After the breath of the two people intertwined all night, the air in the morning is actually a bit ambiguous, but this unspeakable thing is too thin, and it can be broken with a poke.

Hua Zhai leaned over, put his hands on the side of Lin Ziyu's face, and got very close, but there was still a narrow distance between them.

But his long hair fell down to fill the gap.

"No," Hua Zhai said, "If I could meet you at the beginning, I wouldn't let you know me."

"What did I mean at the beginning?" Lin Zijuan grasped the key point.

Hua Zhai didn't answer, "I'm not a good thing for you."
