weird fairy tale town

Naturally, Qi Lin has no reason not to say it, but this is a hidden clue belonging to the two of them, so naturally he won't tell the bald man and those fellows.

"The writing under the carpet is not human blood, but there is also some blood smell in it. It may be some animal's blood."

"It's not human blood?" Bai Zhe was taken aback, "But why...?" He just asked halfway, looked down at the wound on his finger, then at Qi Lin, and couldn't help but wonder about the design of this level. I must have felt a little admiration.

Qi Lin also agreed with his thoughts, "It should be, people can't smell it, but dogs can, it's just that I used to..." Qi Lin was silent for a moment in the middle of speaking, as if he had overcome some psychological barrier before continuing, " It’s just that I didn’t have the experience of being a dog before, so I don’t know the difference between the taste of human blood and the blood of other animals, and now I can tell.”

After hearing his speech, Bai Zhe laughed happily, "Okay, you can slowly accumulate rich experience in being a dog." He looked around the entire banquet hall for a week while talking, and then glanced at the time.

"It's still early, there are still two or three hours before midnight, go out and try to find clues?" Bai Zhe put forward a brand new suggestion.

"I'm afraid not." Qi Lin raised his dog's paw and pointed in a certain direction. There was a bald man who was about to leave the hall, but he was stopped by the guards at the exit.

"You are not allowed to walk around or leave before the dance is over. This setting was explained at the very beginning." Qi Lin reminded.

Bai Zhe nodded, and also gave up this plan, but...he looked at Qi Lin, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Looking at his eyes, Qi Lin knew that he was going to plot against him again, so he stuck out his dog's tongue helplessly, "Okay, let's split up, I'll see if I can go out, you pay attention to your own safety here, I'll be here before 12 o'clock." Will be back."

"Go." Bai Zhe patted Qi Lin on the back in satisfaction.

He likes this feeling very much. Although he is still a little uncertain about the relationship between the two, this kind of silent understanding that exists all the time always makes him feel very comfortable.

It would be great if I could still remember the past, Bai Zhe thought a little regretfully, maybe he could know what was going on in this Fairy Tale Town.

Bai Zhe stood at the same spot, watched Qi Lin slip out smoothly, and began to search the hall with his eyes. After locking on to the target, he took a glass of wine, and then slowly moved towards the target.

……

Although it was shrouded in a shadow, the entire dance hall was still very lively, but there were always exceptions.

The noble and reserved prince stood alone. He didn't invite anyone to dance, and no girl dared to ask him to dance.

And when he got closer, Bai Zhe was even more sure. Looking at it from a distance, he felt that the prince's petite figure was not an illusion - although under the effect of magic, his height was already a little shorter, and he was only about 1.7 meters tall. Even though the prince was about the same height as himself, even compared to the other men present, he seemed a bit short.

"Hi, Your Royal Highness the Prince." Bai Zhe walked to the Prince and saluted.

In fact, the prince had already noticed this beautiful lady with a dog, and smiled at him politely at this moment, "Hello, beautiful lady, why are you alone, where is your dog?"

"He's a bit fierce. I was afraid that he would scare the ladies, so I asked him to go out to get some air." Bai Zhe explained casually.

The prince nodded, "Alright, everyone was a little nervous at the dance, so it's good to let him go out to get some air, as long as we don't go to the garden."

Bai Zhe keenly captured the key word "garden".

Although the level of fidelity here is terrifyingly high, but NPCs are NPCs after all, so what they say must be useful.

So Bai Zhe immediately put on an "ignorant" and "curious" look and asked the prince, "Why can't you go to the garden?"

Although Bai Zhe also felt that his acting skills were too exaggerated, if he let him see it, he might vomit on the spot, but the facts proved that since he entered this hall, almost no male could resist such an attack.

However, I don't know if the prince's magic resistance attribute is higher. He didn't show any blushing and heartbeat, but just smiled at Bai Zhe, "The palace is relatively large and empty, so it is inevitable that there are some gods and ghosts." There are rumors about it, so usually no one will go there at night, if you get lost inside or something, I’m afraid you will have to wait until the morning to find a solution.”

Bai Zhe nodded, secretly remembering that the garden is a blind spot at night.

However, the system did not announce this as a clue. It seems that it has nothing to do with the clues to solve the main puzzle.

But since he was able to talk to the prince, of course he wanted to ask as much information as possible, so he looked sad again, looking a little embarrassed, "Your Highness, this is the first time I have come to such a ball, and I didn't know what happened until I got here. Something like that happened...I, I'm worried."

The prince smiled and reassured her, "It's all right."

After saying this sentence, as if he remembered something, he walked up the stairs again and waved his hands in the direction of the musicians.

The music gradually died down, and when everyone's eyes were on the prince again, he bowed slightly, and then said to the audience loudly: "Everyone, I'm sorry for making everyone panic and frightened during this time, I have already told the gods Pray, God said that blessings will come down, no one will be missing today, and those who disappeared before will also get their happiness, whether the gods really bless us, please let us wait for the result together."

The audience was silent for a second, and suddenly burst into extremely warm cheers.

The whole atmosphere relaxed, and even the music that sounded again seemed to become a lot easier.

The prince bowed slightly to the surroundings, and then walked back to Bai Zhe, and said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, I hope the gods will protect me, and no more unfortunate things will happen today."

The atmosphere became cheerful and joyful, and some people's minds began to stir again, and even frequently glanced at Bai Zhe, as if they were eager to ask him to dance.

But Bai Zhe was still talking to the prince, so they naturally didn't want to disturb him.

It has been said that the ball has been held three times, but His Royal Highness seems to have never been off the dance floor except for inviting someone to dance the opening dance at the very beginning. Will this completely different beauty impress him today?

However, Bai Zhe had no intention of inviting the prince to dance at all, he just came here to talk.

Bai Zhe rubbed the wine glass gently with his hand, and asked again: "I heard that His Highness has a sister who is unparalleled and beautiful in the world, why haven't I seen her?"

The prince still had a gentle smile, and he didn't get angry because of this rude question, but just smiled calmly, "My sister is in poor health and has been bedridden for a long time, so it is inconvenient for me to attend such an occasion."

Bai Zhe nodded, and his tone was still very puzzled, "But I heard that the girls who disappeared in the previous two dances have a very good personal relationship with Her Royal Highness..."

The prince's expression changed suddenly, but he quickly returned to a gentle smile, "Where did you hear the rumors? Well, it's always like this in the palace. There are too many right and wrong. Well. Those are God's blessings, and we'll all be blessed tonight."

As if he didn't want to continue talking with Bai Zhe, the prince turned and walked to the other side.

Naturally, Bai Zhe also knew that he would accept as soon as he was offered. If he accidentally annoyed the prince, he might be kicked out of the ball, and all previous efforts would be in vain.

At this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded.

[Ding, player No. 70 found a useful clue: the palace at night is still brightly lit and bustling, but there is one place that is terribly quiet, and that is the garden in the palace. There are many statues in the garden, carved with young men in different poses Ladies, should we go here to find out?This clue is a public clue, all players can share this information, player number 70 has +1 level points, and the current score is 3, temporarily ranking first]

As soon as the news came out, Bai Zhe frowned slightly. The prince also mentioned the garden to him just now, but the system message was not triggered. So, I am afraid that some conditions must be triggered at the scene, right?

However, just as Bai Zhe was thinking about this question, the whole hall suddenly went dark!

As if a gust of dark wind had blown by, all the lights of the candlesticks were extinguished with a bang, and bursts of exclamations burst out from the crowd.

But everyone is still calm, because the same situation has happened twice, and the prince also said that the last dance today will be blessed by the gods, and nothing will happen.

Soon, footsteps were heard everywhere, and the extinguished candlesticks were relit one by one. It may take a lot of work to hang a few candlesticks on high places, but this is not the first time the guards have dealt with this situation , with the fastest speed, the entire hall was surrounded by light again.

Bai Zhe's brows were tightly frowned. It's not yet 12 o'clock, and the legendary bell has not been heard. What's going on?

The people in the entire hall also looked around with horror on their faces, and they were relieved to see that the people they were traveling with were still there, thinking that the last nightmare should be over.

Qi Lin hurriedly ran into the hall again from the outside, and went straight to Bai Zhe's side, seeing that he was fine, he was a little relieved.

After he triggered the system notification, he was ready to take a closer look at the problematic garden. Who knew that the entire dance hall turned dark in an instant, and the crowd screamed again and again. Although he believed in Bai Zhe's ability, he still couldn't help but worry. check back.

Bai Zhe reached out and touched Qi Lin's dog's head. When his gaze swept across the crowd, he met the cold and slightly murderous eyes of the bald man.

Bai Zhe immediately guessed what might have happened.

Sure enough, across the crowd, the bald man lip-synced and said - "Lao Liu is gone."

At this time, the prince standing on the stairs smiled and asked loudly: "Everyone, are you all there and no one is missing?"

The smile on his face was very gratifying, as if he was just waiting for the last answer to end everything.

However, in the crowd, a strong female voice said angrily: "The sister who came with me is missing!" It was the bald man.

The prince's face suddenly changed in disbelief.

And it was at this time that blood-red traces quietly emerged on the brand-new carpet, and shocking words slowly formed on the carpet: "The dance is really interesting, isn't it? Everyone must come to the dance tomorrow...haha Ha ha!"

The author has something to say: Bald man (shock): My sister was taken away!Pooh!My little brother was snatched away!
