Originally, I helped players just not to be trapped in the instance.Later, my use of help was mixed with personal feelings, and I became really worried about them.

Because I longed for the warmth between people, I also had warmth before I knew it.

——Chu Mie

The third floor is the residence of everyone, and the rest of the rooms are empty, so it is not difficult to check.However, the focus of Shen Huaiyun's inspection this time was on the fourth floor.This is the residence of Mrs. Rose, and also the bedroom and study of Mrs. Rose's husband.

"Speaking of..." Guan Qinyue couldn't help asking, "What's the name of Madam Rose's husband?"

"We... all forgot to ask."

"Forget about that for now," Shen Huaiyun looked at the study in front of him, pressed the handle tentatively, shrugged, "It seems that the study is locked."

"Then what should we do? Madam Rose is on this floor, it is impossible to force a breakthrough by hitting the door..." Ye Zhi hesitated.

"Sister, who told you to use force to break through?" Guan Qinyue rolled her eyes at Ye Zhi, took out a hairpin from her head, and straightened it into a wire. Let's do my show!"

Guan Qinyue fiddled with the hairpin a few times, and then easily opened the lock.She put away the hairpin, inserted it back into her hair, clapped her hands, and said with a smile, "It's done! Go in!"

Ye Zhi was silent for a moment, then asked, "How did you pick the lock?"

"Don't think about it! I was simply shocked by my brother's ability to open the lock when I entered the dungeon for the first time, so I just learned from my brother." After speaking, Guan Qinyue turned her head to Shen Huaiyun and said with a smile: "Brother, now I can be regarded as a teacher!"

Then why did your brother do this?Ye Zhi was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Okay, Guan Erni, take Ye Zhi to open the bedroom door, and I'll just check the study alone. Remember to turn off the wind after opening the door for Ye Zhi, understand?" Shen Huaiyun pushed the door of the study away. door, it is rare to put away the smile, showing a cautious look on the face, "Be careful to protect yourself, Guan Erni!"

"Understood, Shen Mom Mom!"

Ye Zhi nodded slightly at Shen Huaiyun, signaling him to rest assured, and then pulled Guan Qinyue to the direction of the bedroom.

After Shen Huaiyun entered the study, he looked around carefully, then closed the door gently, and looked at everything in the study:

The study room was furnished simply, with only a desk and a few rows of bookshelves. It seemed that people did not come to clean it very often. There was a thin layer of dust floating on the bookshelves, and there were all kinds of books on them.Probably for the convenience of players to view the contents of the books, the books that should be in English are all in Chinese by default.

There are too many books in the study room, and it is impossible to read them all in a short time. Shen Huaiyun turned his gaze to the desk, maybe he can find some key clues from it.

There are delicate and beautiful roses on the desk, as if someone comes in to replace fresh roses every day, but the dust in the room silently tells the violation.

Shen Huaiyun withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to the cabinet under the desk.The cabinet is also locked, because no one has opened it for a long time, the lock is a little rusty, and there is a rusty smell.He reached out and fiddled with the lock, took out the wire from his pocket, picked the lock, and opened the cabinet.

There are only a pair of shoes with broken high heels and a diary left in the cabinet.

The diary is thick and yellowed, and looks old.The yellowed and folded pages are full of spots left by bugs, and time flows quietly between the pages.

Shen Huaiyun opened the diary, and a few dried rose petals fell from the pages.Shen Huaiyun was slightly taken aback, picked up a petal, thought for a moment, put those petals back into the diary, stuffed the diary into his backpack, and locked the cabinet again.

He listened attentively to the movement outside, and he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no one outside. He walked lightly to the bookshelf, looking for any other missing clues.

········

"Ma'am, what do you want me to do?"

Chu Mie looked at the red-haired woman in front of him, her indifferent and gloomy expression was reflected in his eyes, he watched the woman take a sip of black tea and stared at him in ecstasy, his scalp felt a little numb, and said: "Ma'am, you... "..."

"You really look like him..."

he?who?Chu Mie frowned, a little uncertain about Madam Rose's thoughts, and asked tentatively, "Ma'am, I suddenly remembered that..."

Madam Rose lowered her head and played with the ring on her hand, and did not answer Chu Mie's words, "How many guests are there these days?"

"Eight people."

"Is everything settled?" Madam Rose turned her head and looked at the bright red cardamom in her hand, "How many gentlemen and ladies are there?"

Why ask these?

Chu Mie was puzzled, but still replied: "Five gentlemen, three young ladies."

Mrs. Rose paused appreciating the movement of her nails, her brows furrowed, her expression quickly cooled down, and she murmured nervously: "Not enough! Not enough! Still not enough!!!"

What is not enough? !What does she want the player to do?Chu Mie became vigilant, lowered his eyes, concealed the surprise and temptation in his eyes, and asked, "Does Madam need anything else?"

Madam Rose maintained a nervous expression, turned her head mechanically, tilted her neck, stared at him with a gloomy and strange gaze, and grinned: "No, you just have to wait until that day."

Is it the mission deadline in three days?

Chu Mie took a deep breath, smiled and bowed, "Then madam, I'll go down first."

"Wait, Vincent."

Chu Mie paused, waiting for Madam Rose's next words.

"Guests rarely come to Thorn Rose Castle. Don't tell the guests about the original rules in this castle. Don't disturb the guests' interest."

This command is indeed somewhat sinister.

If you don't tell them these rules, are you letting them trigger the death conditions like headless chickens?

Madam Rose continued: "The guests have come from afar. Of course, we must do what the host should do. If they are willing to stay in the castle, that would be great."

"But ma'am," Chu Mie said with a "loyal" face, "I have already told them the precautions in the castle when they came."

Mrs. Rose: "..."

Madam Rose put away all her expressions, "You are really my good housekeeper." There was a bit of gnashing of teeth in her tone, and she calmed down, pointing to the door and saying, "Enough, you go out!"

Chu Mie showed an innocent and loyal image of a good housekeeper, ignoring Mrs. Rose's sullen look, and said, "Yes, madam."

He covered the smile on his lips, and obediently left the room. The moment he closed the door, he heard Mrs. Rose say nonchalantly: "Since I told the rules, never let some little mice, because there are too many Curiosity to see things that shouldn't be seen."

"Yes."

Chu Mie closed the door, let out a breath, and just turned his head when he met a "little mouse" who was poking around the corner.

Chu Mie: "..."

Mrs. Rose, your warnings always seem to be delayed by half a beat.

"Little Mouse" blinked, was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and then clutched his sore tailbone, and ran away as if his butt was on fire.

Chu Mie: "..."

Do you think I can pretend I didn't see it like this?Child, did you grow up eating cute food?

This little girl... wait, why does she look so familiar?

He remembered.

That little girl was Guan Qinyue who had been by Shen Huaiyun's side all along.Since this little girl is here, then Shen Huaiyun——

"Damn it!" Chu Mie pressed the corners of his eyebrows with a headache. Shen Huaiyun dared to do something like this just now, and he really didn't dare to think about it in the next two days.

No, Shen Huaiyun and Guan Qinyue must be driven out of the fourth floor as soon as possible, Madam Rose is still on the fourth floor!If Madam Rose knew what Shen Huaiyun and the others had done, they would lose their lives.

Chu Mie quickly walked towards the place where Guan Qinyue disappeared.

········

Speaking of Guan Qinyue, after helping Ye Zhi pick the bedroom lock, she quietly went to the corner to stare at Mrs. Rose's room, guarding for Shen Huaiyun and Ye Zhi.After being discovered by Chu Mie, he ran back immediately, first notified the nearest Ye Zhi, and after notifying Shen Huaiyun, he hurriedly found a way to slip downstairs.

Ye Zhi was fine, he was the first to be notified, and quickly caught up with Guan Qinyue and went downstairs; but when Shen Huaiyun was notified, he was looking through the books on the bookshelf. In order to prevent being found, he carefully put the books away Back to the original position.When he was about to go out, he didn't expect Chu Mie to come so fast, so he could only hide in the study first, and then make plans.

After Shen Huaiyun hid, he took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his heartbeat, not letting the rapid heartbeat prevent him from hearing the movement outside clearly.

Chu Mie knew very well that the most worth checking on the fourth floor was the husband's study and bedroom.Instead of checking the other rooms, he just needs to make sure the two rooms are empty.

He slowed down, came to the door of the study, and pressed the doorknob tentatively. When he found that the doorknob under him was easily pressed, he frowned and his expression changed slightly.

The door is not locked.

It seems that either the mouse forgot to lock the door, or...the mouse is still here!

He smiled silently, and gently pushed the door open a crack.

"Squeak—" The hinge of the door was rusty, and when it was pushed open, it made a tooth-piercing sound.

Shen Huaiyun inside screamed that it was not good, and vigilantly grasped the props obtained in the previous dungeons, preparing to be discovered.

"My lord, what are you doing?"

Chu Mie turned his head and met the eyes of the maid who just told him to see Mrs. Rose.

Shen Huaiyun pressed his nose bone depressingly, secretly hating himself if Mercury was retrograde today.

"Ah, it's you!" Chu Mie quietly closed the door and lied solemnly, "I'm looking for you! Madam just told me that I have something to do, saying that she will have dinner with the guests tonight."

"Madam has already said this. What do you want me to do?" The maid was very sensitive and felt that something was wrong, so she asked back.

"Of course it's more than that." Chu Mie continued to lie, "Madam asked you to ask about the tastes of the guests, so that the chef can prepare dishes that better suit their appetites."

"Really? I understand, let's do it now."

"Wait." Chu Mie called to stop the maid.

Facing the maid's confused expression, Chu Mie glanced in the direction of the study room out of the corner of his eye, smiled slightly, and said, "I'll go with you."

…………

The sound of the two's footsteps gradually drifted away. Shen Huaiyun, who was huddled in the corner and clenched his dagger tightly, was sweating profusely, relaxed his muscles, and breathed a sigh of relief.
