To sum up, now Jian Yao only needs to check An Jie. If An Jie is not a monster, then the most likely monster is Liz. Tomorrow she will jump directly to the prophet and vote out Liz to win.
Jian Yao thought like this and wrote An Jie's name under the light screen.
[Anjie is a "monster"]
really.
Jian Yao stared closely at the results given by the system on the light screen. Her analysis was correct.
After she finished solving this major problem on her mind, she walked back to the hall on the first floor. That room was still tightly closed by a thick chain.
Like, so similar. If this castle were more dilapidated, it would be exactly like the one in her dream.
Suddenly a bright light flashed in the dark night, and then the chain on the door was cut in half and fell directly to the ground.
The sound of chains falling to the ground echoed in the hall on the first floor of the castle. I wonder if the butler's room and servants' room at the innermost floor of the first floor would hear this sound.
It would be a bit embarrassing if they heard the sound and came out to investigate the situation. Let me state in advance that she is by no means a robber. She is just a little curious.
The door to the room was pushed open by Jian Yao. The space inside was very spacious, and even the light of a flashlight could not completely illuminate the inside.
There are white candles on the candlestick at the door. Seeing that there is still a lot of light left on the candle, you can infer that no one lights the candle at the door, which means that no one usually comes here.
The further Jian Yao goes in, the more messy things are on the ground.
The candlesticks and candles that were supposed to be standing upright seemed to have been hit by a tornado. Some fell directly to the ground, and some turned into several parts and rolled onto the floor.
It seems there was a riot here.
There is only one altar in the room. There is a huge black magic circle pattern on the altar, and standing on it, you can smell the putrid smell coming from the direction of the pattern.
In addition, there were several pools of dried blood on the altar and a scroll of human skin stained with dried blood. It seemed like something must have happened on the altar.
But what is different from Jian Yao's dream is that there is no huge coffin on the altar here.
Jian Yao frowned slightly and opened the scroll in her hand. The writing on it was blurred by blood, and she could only barely make out part of the content.
[Family of the God of Darkness... Legend... Only the Goddess of Light... can... Every time it eats the heart of a living person, its power will evolve...]
The words on the scroll were covered by a thick layer of blood. Some of the words were not completely covered, and one could only judge what the words were based on their rough shape.
Not to mention that the only light provided by this flashlight now affected Jian Yao's judgment to some extent, but she still got some unfavorable news from it.
That is, every time the "monster" eats the heart of a living person, its power will evolve.
No wonder it wanted to take out her heart as soon as it came out last night. It turned out to be for this reason. So isn't this the time when the "monster" is at its weakest?
wrong.
Jian Yao overturned the conclusion she had just drawn. The current "monster" might not be at its weakest.
If the "monster" was the murderer who caused the Duke's mysterious death, then the cause of the Duke's death was hemorrhage due to loss of heart, and there should be a big hole in his body.
Another point is that although it failed to eat her heart on the first night, it is already the second night and its round is over. So will it succeed tonight?
So it's best to throw Anjie out tomorrow, so that he won't have another chance to eat other people's hearts.
But before tomorrow's meeting, she still had to confirm some things with Gray.
Jian Yao kept her mind occupied, put the blood-stained scroll back into her system backpack and walked back.
The hall on the first floor was still so quiet that the only sounds that could be heard were Jian Yao closing the door and her footsteps as she walked.
She didn't know if there was someone hiding in the darkness like thick ink, but Jian Yao was sure that she had searched the room for useful things, so she didn't have to worry about others finding other clues and hiding them after her.
The time for the dungeon soon came to the third day. At this time, the clock in the castle had not yet reached 12 noon, and Jian Yao knocked on Gray's door.
Gray didn't expect Jian Yao to come to him directly, which made him a little scared. Is it because what he said about Jian Yao yesterday made Jian Yao feel unhappy?
But even though he was a little scared, he still couldn't refuse Jian Yao's request to chat. After all, he still respected Jian Yao's identity on the surface.
Before closing the door, Gray glanced outside the corridor. The doors in the corridor were all closed and no one could be seen. This allowed him to close the door with confidence.
"Lord Jian Yue, what do you want to see me for?"
Gray held a porcelain teapot in his hand. Reddish-brown tea flowed from the spout into two teacups of the same style on the table. There was also a strong aroma of black tea floating in the air.
There are two plates of exquisite desserts on the table. There are many sweet fruits on top of the fine cream and cheese. Just by looking at them, you can tell how delicious these cakes are.
It's just that their minds are not on snacks and tea at this time.
Jian Yao's fingers tapped on the porcelain tea cup, and her dark brown eyes stared at Gray who was sitting opposite her.
Without any mincing words, she asked directly: "Gray, do you know what's wrong with your father's body? For example, there was a fatal penetrating wound on the chest, and he lost his heart."
Gray thought of the Duke's death. How did she know so clearly? He had never told Jian Yao about it, not even in the letter.
"Yes, we noticed something was wrong when we saw my father's body. He was covered in blood, his eyes were wide open, there was a large circular hole on the left side of his chest, and my father's heart was missing.
"
"That's why I suspected that my father died mysteriously. I just didn't know who could be so cruel to treat my poor father like this."
When Gray said this, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere had reached a certain point, his eyes suddenly became moist, and his voice was filled with sobs, but there was no trace of sadness in his eyes.
It seems that the "monster" really ate the Duke's heart, so the "monster" she encountered before was not at its weakest, but why was the "monster" Anjie?
Is Anjie already dead and the "monster" turned into his appearance? But if this is the case, it means that the "monster" has eaten at least two hearts.
In other words, Anjie was used as a sacrifice for the magic circle by the Duke, so that "monster" could use Anjie's body to come to the world and kill the Duke immediately.
