The maze-like mansion had a total of two floors, plus a basement that could not be reached directly by stairs.
The mansion itself was also soundproof. Even if there was no door separating them, the sound would be completely blocked if they were more than five meters away. No one else knew about the escape that just happened on the second floor.
…
[Basement]
The flames burning here showed a scarlet color.
The old butler, Corey, was not dead yet.
The pain and burning heat were stimulating his consciousness, and he gradually woke up from his coma. The more awake he was, the more intense the pain.
When his eyes gradually opened, he saw that both sides of his shoulders were completely penetrated by black hooks, and his whole body was hanging in the air.
The tendons of his hands and feet were cut off, and even the appendages he was proud of were completely cut off. There was no such thing as breaking free.
Corey tilted his head as far as possible to look behind him. He was hanging on the sharp horn of a demon statue.
There were a total of ten such statues, which corresponded to the number of audience members.
These demon statues all maintained the same posture, kneeling and holding a bowl.
The blood dripping from Corey's body just happened to drip into the bowl. Because he was unconscious for a long time, the bowl was just full of blood.
"I said, I won't give you too much pain!"
Actor Matthew, whose body was full of stitches, was standing in front of him, holding a long sword forged by a famous master in his hand.
Buzz!
Corey's vision became blurry, and he only felt a little cold on his neck. The pain caused by the piercing of his shoulder blade was lessening.
When the head slid down,
Matthew picked up the full bowl of blood and poured it all into his mouth.
Ga ji ~
Two slender appendages grew out between Matthew's knees, which did not affect his normal walking but could greatly increase his movement speed.
This was just a bonus brought by the stage play.
When the circus performance was over and the "Seal of Truth" was lifted, he would also gain Corey's fate perception and various special abilities.
As he killed more and more people in the game, Matthew would also gain more special abilities. The later it was, the less likely he was to survive.
But no one knew about this information.
…
On the second floor of the mansion.
The real eldest daughter of the family, Miss Rice, had been staying in her own room.
The eldest daughter was played by Ferma, who belonged to the extremely rare "Foxman Clan."
The reason why it was rare was that the "Foxman Clan" was talented and beautiful, and they also had a charm attribute. Such talent brought great disaster to their clan, and they were one of the favorite targets of smugglers.
Moreover,
The Foxman Race was cunning by nature and would almost never become true friends with anyone.
More often than not, they would scheme against others for some small benefits. When other life forms realized this, it would also cause them to be ostracized, making it difficult for them to survive in large cities.
This Miss Ferma,
However, she was so easy to bully. She was an anomaly among the foxmen, and her nature was extremely cunning and cruel. Furthermore, she was quite talented in assassination. She had used her appearance to infiltrate many trafficking organizations and killed all of their internal members.
When she advanced to the Mythical stage, her tail turned pure white, and she was called the White-Tailed Demon Fox.
However, she had no intention of protecting her people. She wandered around the various regions of the universe until she found an invitation to a circus.
"This identity is not bad … the item suits me very well.
Moreover, the 'main storyline' is also very clear. We just have to wait for a certain time before taking action. "
As the eldest daughter of the family, her character was extremely strong. Her character's items weren't functional, but rather offensive.
[Character Item – Protective Dagger]: Deals additional damage to evil targets.
A sharp dagger engraved with the family emblem was attached to the side of her long boots. The dagger also had a telescopic function, and its longest length was almost equivalent to a short sword.
This item was extremely suitable for Ferma. She had already practiced in her room for more than ten minutes with the body of an ordinary person and was completely proficient in it.
At the same time, she found a letter from Baron Holly on the table.
Dear Miss Rice,
I'm sorry that we can't hold our wedding as scheduled due to the recent bad weather.
Today, I'm writing to you because I have something more important to tell you. Please believe what I'm about to write! I've already found out that your father, Viscount McMillan, is a core member of the Mammon Church.
Although I don't have direct evidence, I've already found many details that are enough to prove it when I went out with your father last time.
Right now, your family is in a very dangerous situation.
Recently, it was the birthday of the demon Mammon. Churches everywhere began to take action, causing a large number of people to go missing. Some sacrificial sites were even discovered in advance.
I'll try to rush over and take you away before tonight. I hope this damn blizzard will stop early.
…
"What a boring plot. Does that mean we'll be sacrificed tonight? However, no matter how boring it is, I have to play along … The reward from the circus must be good.
Let's just wait here for the danger to arrive. "
The reason why Ferma had been staying in the room was not only to practice with the dagger.
She also used her experience to fill the room with traps. If the other party took the initiative to come to the door, the traps would be triggered … With the restraint and damage brought by the traps, she could also assess the threat level of the other party.
If she felt that she couldn't beat them, she would directly escape from the window that she had tied a rope in advance.
Just as Ferma was throwing the dagger up and down out of boredom, a series of footsteps came from outside the door.
She caught the dagger and inserted it into the side of her boots.
Thump! Thump!
"Who is it?"
"Miss Rice, it's me … the butler! Baron Holly is here. What's the urgent matter? He wants to see you alone. "
According to the information given in the letter, the young lady and Baron Holly should be engaged.
Combined with the background of the story,
In the current situation, the young lady played by Ferma would inevitably meet her fiancé who came from afar … If she refused here, even if she survived in the end, she wouldn't be able to pass the performance assessment.
"Is Holly here? Really … The blizzard hasn't stopped yet. I'll change my clothes and come out. "
She said to change her clothes.
Ferma actually used the crack of the door to observe the butler outside. After confirming that there was no mistake, she slowly opened the door.
"Baron Holly has been invited to the VIP room by me. He is enjoying the fresh soup made by the chef. I believe the chill has been dispelled.
Please come with me. "
Just as the butler turned to lead the way.
Swish!
The dagger quickly and delicately pierced into the back of the butler's head.
Hiss!
Wisps of white smoke immediately came out of the wound.
Seeing that the butler didn't die immediately, Ferma pulled out the dagger and immediately retreated.
"Ouch! It hurts!
I clearly applied for the head not to issue such offensive props to the [Eldest Daughter]. It hurts me every time.
By the way, how did you find out? "
Ferma said with a vigilant face.
"Weight.
Even if the physique is the same, the footsteps are exactly the same … But if the weight of the body is different, the footsteps will be different.
When everyone was on stage, I listened carefully to everyone's footsteps, but you are different. "
"The quality of your audience this time is really good …"
Halfway through,
A series of silk threads shot out from the butler's head wound and were about to bind Ferma … Swish! The dagger cut through the air and all the threads were cut off.
"Oh? In the case of 'Truth Closed,' there is still such technology?
What a good [Embryo]. My eyes are really right … "
The butler with a fierce face suddenly grew an extra appendage and approached the [Eldest Daughter] at an incredible speed.
When he stepped on the floor set at the door for sacrifice, he actually forced his way through with his speed.
Ferma was shocked by such speed and quickly ran to the window … She had already grabbed the long rope left in advance and was ready to jump out of the window with all her strength.
When she was about to jump out of the window.
A terrifying beast suddenly crawled over and occupied the window, forcing her to stop.
