"Hello, Master Jian Yue, I am my father's eldest son Anjie."
The weak man sitting by the fireplace couldn't help but cough a few times after he finished speaking. His body was trembling with violent coughing, as if he was about to cough in the next second.
By the time his body calmed down completely, several minutes had passed, and Anjie felt a little embarrassed for wasting everyone's time.
He loosened the hand that was tightly clenched around his mouth to block the coughed up gas and saliva, and showed a simple smile on his face.
Anjie scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "I'm sorry, I haven't been in good health since I was a child. The weather has turned cold recently and my body can't stand the cold."
After hearing what Anjie said, Gray immediately took over his words and persuaded Anjie: "Anjie, why don't you go back to your room and rest first? We are enough here."
"But..." Anjie felt a little moved by Gray's words, but he was still worried about Jian Yao as a guest, and looked at her uncertainly several times, worried that she would be angry because of it.
Anjie did not make a decision immediately. Gray knew that he had to find someone to push Anjie. He glanced at everyone in the living room and finally set his sights on Hongyan.
The look in his eyes that looked at Hong Yan had a hint of an urgent need for recognition and cooperation, but this look also seemed to be asking Hong Yan for her approval.
Hong Yan looked at Gray lazily with half-closed eyes, and then said casually: "Well, you have nothing to do here, so why not go back to your room to rest early, I don't think Lord Jian Yue will blame you, right?
"
Jian Yao naturally felt the eyes of the people around her. Although the character she played was indeed a person with a rather arrogant personality, she was not a devil and was not so ruthless.
So she looked at An Jie's still pale face and nodded, indicating that An Jie should go back to his room to rest.
Jian Yao suppressed the disgust in her heart and said: "My God, since you are not feeling well, Anjie, you should go back and rest early. I think the kind God will not blame you."
The only maid in the living room helped Anjie leave, leaving the butler standing near them to continue serving them.
The woman in the red dress let go of her hair, but still did not sit up straight. She just lay lazily on the sofa and talked to Jian Yao, not paying attention to Jian Yao at all.
"I was born to my father's third wife. My name is Liz."
After Liz said this, she yawned artificially, stood up from the sofa, stretched, said hello to the others and left.
No matter how Gray called her name, Liz didn't look back and went straight back upstairs.
"Um...I am the child brought here by my father's second lover. I am Wujiu..."
A faint voice came from the corner of the living room, it sounded like a girl's voice.
Jian Yao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that there was another place in the living room that neither the lights nor the fire in the fireplace could illuminate.
The "girl" wearing a black robe was hunched over and her eyes were a little dodgey, as if she was not used to having so many eyes staring at "her".
Jian Yao: Good guy, why is Wu Jiu a girl again? If this continues, I will doubt whether Wu Jiu is really a woman disguised as a man.
【Players please pay attention!】
[The player "Jian Yue" needs to complete the following tasks before the main task is completed]
【1.Please investigate the cause of the Duke’s death
2. Please judge whether you are the murderer. If so, please hide it. If not, please find the murderer.
3. Please find out what happened to the Duke before his death that made him want to change his faith, and find out who the god he later believed in]
Jian Yao: Good guy, it’s really a werewolf killing that’s aggravated by the original killing?!
However, thriller games generally do not arrange useless and redundant gameplay and tasks, so the cause of the Duke's death must be strange and must be inextricably related to the main mission.
Moreover, the third task should be her personal task. After all, this task is so directional, so it can only be her personal task.
However, Jian Yao also had some small guesses from this task.
If the reason for the curiosity of the character she plays is excluded, then there is another possibility that the reason for the abnormality in the castle may be related to the gods.
The maid who followed Anjie up before came down the stairs again and returned to the living room. She stood beside the housekeeper in an orderly manner, waiting for the master and guests to call at any time.
Jian Yao only glanced at her and then looked away. Now she had to speed up the progress of the plot and took the initiative to ask Gray.
Gray was obviously the most talkative and pushy person in the castle. When he heard Jian Yao's question, he immediately stood up and walked to the center of the carpet.
Moreover, Gray deliberately made a burst of noise on the ground every time he took a step. Those who didn't know it thought the quality of the carpet was poor or how heavy he was.
But Jian Yao was too lazy to care so much and listened carefully to Gray's story about the castle and the Duke.
"My adoptive father, Duke Hughes, is a close friend of you. I think that as his guide, you should know that he has changed his faith."
"One day, after he came back from outside, he was in a very good mood, and then he ordered the servants at home to put away all the things in the castle dedicated to that god, but we didn't know which god his father had converted to.
.”
"My father also became more and more weird after that day. He stayed in the study every day and didn't know what he was doing. Moreover, he wouldn't let others enter the study. Even... Hongyan went to the study to look for him, but he refused.
Open the door."
"After a while, my father... disappeared."
When Gray said this, he couldn't help but pause, and squeezed out a few tears from his eyes. The emotion in his tone was also full of sadness and unacceptable.
But Hongyan, who was sitting on the sofa, laughed softly when she saw Gray's behavior, like a sarcastic smile.
The entire living room fell into a brief silence because of this gentle sneer, but Gray continued to talk about recent events as if he didn't notice the embarrassment in the living room.
"And just after my father left, all kinds of strange things happened in the castle. First, there were some inexplicable withered flowers in the castle garden, and then there were some inexplicable dead animals."
"Sometimes you can hear some inexplicable noises in the castle late at night, but when you go to investigate the next day, you can't find the reason at all."
"And sometimes there are some inexplicable marks on the castle. I can't explain these marks clearly. I'm afraid you have to take a look in person to find out."
Others in the living room also nodded, confirming that what Gray said was indeed true.
