Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning this issue.
They quickly finished the food on their plates and planned to go to other places in the castle to take a look.
But as soon as they walked out of the dining room, they saw the housekeeper standing at the door.
The housekeeper bowed slightly. "It's already dark. Ladies, please don't wander around. It won't be good if you disturb the Earl's rest. If you want to visit the castle, please do it in the morning. Also, don't miss the afternoon tea and dinner at three o 'clock in the afternoon. "
The game usually didn't give them a sure-death situation.
What the housekeeper said was the death condition in this world: You couldn't leave your room at night. You could only leave in the morning. You couldn't miss the afternoon tea and dinner.
As long as you were careful, you wouldn't make any mistakes.
After the NPC's reminder, no one was stubborn enough to court death. They all returned to their rooms.
When the last door was closed, the wall fires in the corridor were extinguished one by one. Only the copper lamp in the housekeeper's hand was left. The light was pale and reflected on her face, making it look distorted.
The housekeeper's cold eyes swept across the doors and finally locked onto one of them.
A cold wind suddenly blew through the closed corridor and extinguished the only light.
The housekeeper's figure seemed to blend into the darkness. She stood there motionless. No one knew how long she stood there until the dull sound of the bell rang. Then she silently walked forward.
Knock knock.
The housekeeper gently knocked on the door.
Unfamiliar the first time, familiar the second time.
Zhou Wenyan climbed over the balcony and walked into the room next door.
Shen Dongqing was lying on the bed. The flickering light fell on the side of his face like a layer of warm orange, making people want to reach out and touch him.
Because this world hadn't developed to the point of modern technology, Shen Dongqing's mobile phone was useless. He could only lie on the bed in a daze. His eyes closed and he almost fell asleep.
Zhou Wenyan slowed down.
Shen Dongqing heard the movement and opened his eyes to look. He expressed his confusion with a nasal voice. "Hmm?"
Why did he climb over the window again?
Zhou Wenyan sat on the bed. He couldn't help but reach out and stroke his messy hair.
He whispered, "There's someone outside."
The housekeeper had been outside and hadn't left.
Therefore, Zhou Wenyan was worried and came over to take a look.
Shen Dongqing narrowed his eyes and subconsciously moved closer to Zhou Wenyan.
The cooking skills of the castle's chef were pretty good. He was a little full after eating, and his tiredness suddenly came over him. In addition, Zhou Wenyan's Yin Qi enveloped him, making him feel a little too comfortable. His head nodded and he was about to fall asleep.
At this moment, another "dong" sound came from the balcony.
Wu Jia finally steadied himself and met the two pairs of eyes in the room.
"Sorry to disturb you." Wu Jia saw their current posture clearly and raised his hand. "I'll leave now."
Zhou Wenyan stopped him. "What did you find?"
Wu Jia was still wearing the strange dress. He took out a book from under the dress and handed it over. "I found a diary."
Facing the candlelight, Zhou Wenyan opened the book.
There were lines of delicate words written on the yellowed paper. The person who wrote this diary should be the previous female guest who was selected to participate in the harvest festival. However, because of the passage of time, some of the words had become a little blurred.
