Infinity: Others play games with krypton gold, I play games with krypton life

The system suddenly broadcast such magical instructions for use, and Ling Rizhao looked at Xiao Qianchuan with an indescribable look.

The corner of his mouth twitched, he took the pocket watch and responded heavily.

"Then thank you, Master."

Ling Rizhao had originally prepared himself for a desperate fight, and he did not feel much aversion to Xiao Qianchuan's sudden departure. He just felt that self-protection was indeed the best choice at the time.

But the boy was much braver and smarter than he thought. He was able to take advantage of the opponent's trap and turn the tables.

He underestimated Xiao Qianchuan.

Seeing that the matter was over, Mantis covered his mouth and nose and asked the guards to take the body away quickly, then turned around and smiled to comfort everyone.

"Since it was a misunderstanding, the matter has been resolved. You don't have to worry anymore. The dinner will begin soon. My cook has prepared delicious dishes for you to enjoy."

"Who said this was a misunderstanding?"

Master Billy, who looked soft and easy to talk to, became aggressive at this moment.

"Was it a misunderstanding that Lizard framed my housekeeper? There were two murderers who killed me at that time. Now Lizard is dead, and the other one must be happy that there is no evidence against him!"

Mantis was a little surprised, "What? There are two people who hurt you?"

"Maybe more than two."

Butler Gru stood beside the young master and expressed his own inference.

"There were two people who took action. The young master scratched one of them, and I stabbed another in the back. There may be another mastermind behind the scenes, and he is among you."

After these words were spoken, everyone's worries, which had been relieved, began to rise again.

Doctor Newt slapped his forehead and shouted: "No wonder! I was wondering why the wound on Snake's back was irregular. It turned out that he had been injured before. But there are also scratches on the back of his hand. Could it be that you two injured the same person? That's bad. It will be really hard to find the other person."

Xiao Qianchuan shook his head. "I just checked. It was indeed me who scratched the back of Snake's hand, but not necessarily his back. Now for everyone's safety, I hope you can tell me the truth and tell me who has a back injury."

Everyone looked at each other, as if remembering something, and turned their eyes to the livid-faced eldest master, Fulai.

"Why are you looking at me? I did have an injury on my back, but it was just an accidental fall on the way here."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe him, Fulai patted the dust on his coat and said, "Really, look, this is the mark left by falling on the ground just now."

He pushed the absent-minded Lizard again, "Don't believe me? Ask him. If Lizard hadn't accidentally bumped into me, I wouldn't have fallen."

Lizard nodded quickly.

Although this reason seemed too coincidental, it was also reasonable. Everyone was in a dilemma and looked at Master Billy, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Qianchuan glanced at Foley, who was eager to clear himself of suspicion, and Lizard, who was absent-minded, and smiled and shook his head.

"Why are you so nervous? One of the murderers is already dead, and the mastermind dare not expose himself easily. I believe no one will dare to act rashly next time. The dance is not over yet, let's go!"

Master Billy spoke in a relaxed tone, inviting everyone to return to the ballroom like a host. The melodious music continued, and everyone's tense nerves gradually relaxed under the paralysis of alcohol, forgetting their troubles.

The three heirs of the castle gathered in a separate banquet room on the second floor with their trusted people.

Ling Rizhao pulled out the chair for his young master quite gentlemanly, then bowed and lowered his voice.

"I didn't kill that man. He was already dead when I caught up with him."

Xiao Qianchuan nodded gently, "I know."

Seeing that the other party trusted him so much, Ling Rizhao felt relieved and told him the information he had observed.

"Although Foley has a back injury, I smelled blood on Lizard, so the other person who did it should be him. As for whether Foley is the mastermind behind this, it remains to be seen. In addition, Mantis is a player."

Xiao Qianchuan rolled his eyes and held up the red teacup to hide the smile that he couldn't suppress. "How do you know that Mantis is a player? Which item did you use?"

The hand that placed the napkin paused, Ling Rizhao pursed his lips and shook his head gently, "My observation cannot be wrong."

Xiao Qianchuan understood that the usage of that prop was too shameful and he thought that the other party would not be able to bring himself to use it, so he stopped asking and just chose to believe it.

Lizard stood worriedly behind Foley, who was squinting his eyes and tasting the wine. Neither of them said a word.

Mantis had a faint smile on her face as she poured tea for her fiancé, pretending that what had just happened had never happened.

Wood Hall's face was indeed full of seriousness. He pondered for a long time before saying, "This won't work. I will send someone to the camp outside the city to bring a team of soldiers tonight to protect everyone's safety."

General Wood spoke, and no one had any reason to object. Soon, the two soldiers took the order and left.

But within a moment, one person hurried back. The soldier leaned close to General Wood's ear and lowered his voice.

No one heard what the man said, but the extremely terrified expression on his face was enough to show the seriousness of the matter.

After hearing this, Wood said nothing, but stood up and strode downstairs.

Xiao Qianchuan and Ling Rizhao looked at each other and immediately followed.

Confused, Mantis lifted her skirt and trotted a few steps, closely following her fiancé. The general, who had always been a gentleman, had no time to care about others at this moment. He walked around the lively dance floor and strode out the door.

When they arrived at the door, they saw thick fog outside the iron fence of the castle, blocking out the stars and the moon.

Outside the castle was a dense forest, and during the day, you could see a narrow path for carriages to travel on. But now it was pitch black, and it was impossible to tell the direction, and the path seemed to have disappeared in the fog.

Wood: "Open the door, I'll go and see for myself."

Mantis anxiously asked her fiancé: "What happened?"

Wood turned around, his heavy and serious expression slightly relaxed, "Nothing dear, I need to go to the camp myself."

"No! No! This is too dangerous."

A man suddenly jumped out from the flower bed outside the door and blocked Wood's way.

Xiao Qianchuan met the man, and both of them were stunned, then quickly looked away.

The man had dry and yellow hair that frizzled up like a hedgehog. He was holding a hoe and wearing a straw hat. He was dressed like a servant and waved at Wood.

"It's foggy now, and all the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the forest are getting restless. It's not safe to go out now, so we should wait until the fog clears."

"Who are you? How do you know this?"

Faced with Wood's questioning, the man explained calmly.

"My name is Anderson, and I'm the gardener of the castle. I've served the Inset family for generations. Don't go out when it's foggy. This is a warning passed down by my grandfather's grandfather, but this is the first time I've encountered such heavy fog."

Wood looked at his fiancée, trying to verify the credibility of this man's words.

However, the other party looked at Foley beside him with an inquiring look, while Foley turned to look at Billy with a confused look on his face.

Three faces were confused.

Such important information, but none of the heirs of the castle knew it.

Xiao Qianchuan reasonably suspected that everyone was a player.

He glanced at Anderson and cleared his throat in a knowing tone. "Yes, that's true. But this kind of weather is rare."

Wood glanced at the dark forest, thought for a moment, but still refused to give up.

"The soldiers I sent out earlier are still trapped inside. The distress signal is not far from the gate. I need to go and bring them back."

The iron-blooded soldier's ability to act should not be underestimated. Before anyone could stop him, he mounted the horse brought by the soldiers, jumped over and rushed out of the outer gate.

"Alas! Why is this man so stubborn? He is an important figure after all. What if..."

Anderson waved anxiously, but he could only watch the man and the horse being quickly swallowed by the darkness.

Suddenly, the horse neighed in a shrill and tragic way.

Ling Rizhao reached for the dinner knife he had hidden behind his back and turned to look at Xiao Qianchuan.

"To save or not to save?"
