In a dark basement in Cézanne's estate.

Cezanne looked around at everyone with a serious expression and said slowly: "Today is an important day."

"Boss." Ali looked embarrassed and said, "Do we really want to do that to Yu Lan?"

"Are you scared?" Cynthia chuckled, playing with the ends of her hair with her fingers. "Today is a great opportunity. What do they say? Oh, the time is right, the place is right, and the people are right. If we don't act now, when will we act?"

Ali opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute, so he had to shut it.

"Erwin, are you ready?"

A man in a large cloak walked out of the shadows. He nodded and said, "We've contacted the people. They were very excited when they heard the news."

"Ha." Cézanne showed a playful smile on his face. The good show was about to begin.

After getting up, Yu Lan stayed in the room doing her own things and did not come out, so she did not notice that the manor was so quiet today.

After a busy afternoon, Yu Lan stood up from her chair, stretched, and then walked to the balcony to get some fresh air.

The cool breeze took away her fatigue. Yu Lan squinted her eyes comfortably, but she didn't expect that someone would blindfold her from behind the next second.

Yu Lan was startled and subconsciously raised her hand to attack, but the person behind her seemed to be on guard and blocked her attack, and tied her hands up.

"Oh shit, what the... Ngh!"

Before she could finish her words, her mouth was covered by someone. Yu Lan realized at this time that she was kidnapped in Cezanne's manor!

Suddenly, a vague fragrance spread out, and before Yu Lan had time to think about what it was, she fainted.

The person behind her immediately caught Yu Lan's limp body, but seemed to think it was inconvenient to hold her like this, so he passed one hand through her knees and picked her up sideways.

"Kougui 亻喻."

There was applause behind him, and Erwin's body stiffened. He looked back at Cezanne and said helplessly, "This is more convenient."

"I haven't said anything yet." Cezanne sneered, his eyes full of ridicule.

Erwin pursed his lips and said, "She will be in a coma for the next five hours. Let's go first."

"You are so brave that you dare to use drugs on your host."

"She'll be very noisy if we don't do this." Erwin remembered something and said with a headache.

So Cezanne's eyes became very ambiguous again: "Oh~ You are quite clear."

Erwin: ...

"Okay, let's go quickly!" As he spoke, a light blue magic circle appeared in front of them, and Erwin took the lead in holding Yu Lan. Cezanne shrugged and followed in.

The whole manor became very quiet, as if there was no one there.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Lan woke up groggily. She covered her head and thought about it, and suddenly remembered that she had been kidnapped.

She looked up at the room and found that she was not in the room of the manor, but in a very strange and overly luxurious room.

It looked like a European-style building, with gorgeous carvings and gold sculptures everywhere, so luxurious that it seemed unreal.

[Erwin?]

Unable to get a response from the system, Yu Lan subconsciously frowned and called out again: [Erwin? ]

But still no response.

This is how the same thing.

Yu Lan frowned and subconsciously wanted to take out the talisman from the player's backpack, but found that the player's backpack was frozen for unknown reasons, and she couldn't take out anything she put in it!

Yu Lan held her breath, her mind was in a mess, but she was thinking clearly about countermeasures.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and a dozen masked maids bowed respectfully to Yu Lan and said, "Miss Yu, we are here to help you change your clothes."

"Where is this place?"

But the dozen or so maids turned a deaf ear and just focused on their own work.

They pulled out a long cart, lifted the thick black velvet on it, and said respectfully, "Please choose a dress for the dinner."

The moment the black velvet cloth was lifted, Yu Lan couldn't help but hold her hand over her heart and said in disbelief, "Me? I can choose?"

"Yes." Now the maids finally responded. They stepped forward and explained to Yu Lan the origin of the skirt one by one, but they were stopped by Yu Lan before they could say two words.

It's nothing, these dresses are too expensive. She doesn't care whether they are handmade by master craftsmen or designed by them, or whether they are inlaid with gemstones.

Those skirts all looked glittering and gorgeous, but in Yu Lan's eyes they were just beautiful wastes. The heavy skirts seriously affected her fighting performance... Although she couldn't fight, she could always run away.

So she was dazzled by the choices and finally chose a skirt made mainly of black silk. It not only looked more low-key than other skirts, but also felt lighter than other skirts.

It is very convenient for her to escape!

But what Yu Lan miscalculated was that she forgot that the neckline of the skirt was woven with gold thread. The black and gold combination was very luxurious, but the price was - it was uncomfortable.

Yu Lan helplessly rubbed the place where her skin and collar met. It was already red and looked particularly eye-catching, making her skin look even whiter.

One of the maids looked at Yu Lan's neck greedily. Yu Lan noticed her gaze and looked back: "What are you looking at?"

The maid was silent for a moment, then quietly brought out another large box. She opened the box and showed Yu Lan what was inside: "I was wondering if you were missing something."

When the box was opened, Yu Lan squinted her eyes subconsciously and felt her eyes were dazzled by the thing in front of her.

Yes, she was really shaken. She was dazzled by the huge box of jewelry. Even she couldn't help but scream "Fuck".

But she resisted the urge: "I don't need it."

"Yes." Before Yu Lan could object, several maids nearby had already held her down on a chair and were quickly putting on the jewelry for her and styling her look. The whole process took less than ten minutes.

Yu Lan looked at herself in the mirror in a daze. Her hair was half-tied up by the skillful maid, and no one knew what had been done with the rest of her hair. It was slightly curled and hung loosely on her back.

The maids seemed to have no idea of ​​any hair accessories for Yulan to wear, so they simply chose a simple and low-key hairpin and pinned it behind her head.

Her glasses were taken off, and the rest of the jewelry on her body was replaced with a chain made of small pearls, and on her hands she wore black velvet gloves made of the same material as her dress.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yu Lan couldn't help but whistle to herself. As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. She is so beautiful.

Ah, this is off topic. These are not the main issues. Yu Lan cleared her throat and asked, "What is the purpose of your master doing this?"

A maid chuckled and said, "Our master has wanted to see you... for a long time."

After that, she took out a black mask with gold edges and put it on Yu Lan: "The theme of tonight is - masked party."

The maids took Yu Lan out of the room after she had packed up, and took her around the palace, which made Yu Lan even more amazed.

Looking at the carvings and murals on the ceiling, they all show the owner's strong financial resources.

Who is it? She doesn't know anyone so rich!

Yu Lan looked out the window beside the corridor and found that the outside seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where it was for a moment.

Well, let's take it one step at a time.

Thinking of this, the maid brought Yu Lan to the door of a hall and slowly pushed it open.

The people in the hall were originally dancing in pairs, but when Yu Lan came in, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her.

The music in the hall was still playing, but no one was dancing.

Countless masked faces stared at Yu Lan, which made her want to find a hole to crawl into right there and then. But she resisted the urge, and fortunately the mask on her face covered her expression, allowing her to walk towards the throne in the hall in a pretentious manner.

A woman sat on the throne, her gray hair and gorgeous violet skirt all showed her status. Next to her stood a white-haired man in court clothes. Yu Lan's eyes stayed on him for a while, then turned away.

She walked to the throne, knelt down respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, why did you bring me here?"

The woman on the throne curled her lips, as if she was not surprised by Yu Lan's behavior. She picked up the wine glass beside her and stared at the liquid in the glass: "I miss you."

ha?

Yu Lan’s whole body froze. No, what the hell was this? She didn’t remember provoking this person!

Although she was shocked, Yu Lan still kept a calm face. She smiled politely and said, "I don't understand what you mean... We should have never met before?"

"Humph."

Speaking of this, the woman on the throne snorted coldly and threw the cup to the ground angrily: "You don't remember that I have been worried about you."

Yu Lan almost stopped breathing. She felt that after the woman on the throne said this, everyone in the audience was looking at her, as if she was being stabbed.

No, sister, I can just call you sister, please don’t call her a heartless person, I swear to God she is innocent!

"Your Majesty." The man next to the woman bent down slightly and called her softly.

"Hmph, let's forget it this time." The woman waved her hand, then supported her chin with one hand on the armrest of the chair and raised her other hand and shook it.

"Let's play a game... I have specially prepared a group of people for you, and you have to choose the right person to dance with. If your choice is right, I will let you go... If it is wrong, you will stay here with me forever!"

What was going on? Yu Lan watched the woman on the throne move, and suddenly saw more than a dozen people, both men and women, walk in from the side door of the hall, dressed gorgeously, and all wearing masks on their faces.

They stood in a circle around Yu Lan, and even the two people on the throne stood up and stood inside the circle.

The crowd around them shouted in surprise, but the woman didn't care at all. She raised her chin and said, "Choose."

"Wait." Yu Lan subconsciously tried to push up her glasses but raised her hand to touch a mask. She was stunned for a moment and continued, "What is the right person? Any clue?"

“No.” The woman denied, “Whether it is correct or not, only we know about this matter... and we will only announce whether your choice is correct after the dance is over.”

"You are playing a meaningless psychological game with me." Yu Lan smiled helplessly.

"This is my punishment for you," said the woman.

Yu Lan chuckled helplessly and looked at the group of people around her, but in the end she found nothing.

She couldn't feel anything. Her senses were blocked after she woke up, and she became no different from an ordinary person.

In this situation, Yu Lan could only take a gamble and make a few blind choices.
