Gray seemed to be bewitched, and he took the scroll with dull eyes.
As soon as the skin on my hand came into contact with the scroll, I felt the unusual touch of the scroll. It felt like touching the skin of a living person, and the smooth feeling was slightly oozing.
There were lines of human skin on the scroll, and Gray's brain subconsciously thought of "human skin". The hand holding the scroll shook, but he did not throw away the thing in his hand after all.
After all, what the man just said was so tempting, and I don't know why, but he 100% trusted what he said. He is obviously a suspicious person.
Just when he raised his head to ask specific questions, the man who was standing in front of him just now had disappeared.
What happened after that was just like what the man said. The Duke was very happy after getting the scroll, and without any psychological burden, he directly fainted his son Anjie and took him to a room that only the previous heads of the family could enter.
Gray was not allowed to enter this room, so naturally he didn't know what happened next.
He only knew that he saw the Duke's body in the hall the next day. His body had been lying here for an unknown period of time and had become very stiff.
The Duke's body lay on a large pool of blood, and the color of the blood was dark red.
The corpse's eyes were wide open, as if it had seen something incredible, and there was still surprise and fear in its eyes.
A big hole was dug out on the left side of his chest, but the heart inside was nowhere to be found.
Gray was a little scared at the time, but besides fear, he was more surprised. Could this be what the man said about "fulfilling your wish"?
Just as Gray's heart was beating fiercely in his chest, a sound that Gray didn't expect suddenly came from the stairs.
"What's going on?" An Jie's weak voice sounded on the stairs.
Gray raised his head and looked up the stairs, only to see Anjie, who was supposed to be dead in that room, standing on the stairs perfectly fine, as if he had just come down from the room on the second floor.
But shouldn't he be a corpse lying in the room on the first floor? Why did he come down from the second floor?!
Gray looked at the room on the first floor in disbelief, only to see that the heavy iron chain and a lock were still hanging on the door, as if it had never been opened.
How could this happen? He personally brought Anjie from the room on the second floor to the hall. He also watched with his own eyes as the Duke took out the key, opened the door to the room, and dragged Anjie in.
But now Anjie seems to be safe and sound, he even came down from the second floor, and it seems that he doesn't remember anything that happened yesterday.
What was going on? What happened after he left?
Gray didn't dare to ask Anjie directly what happened last night. He was afraid that his conspiracy with the Duke would be revealed.
After all, only he and the Duke knew that he was the Duke's biological son. Once they knew that they had murdered the Duke's son and caused the Duke's mysterious death, I'm afraid he wouldn't survive the night, regardless of whether he could leave the castle.
Gray understood his current situation and did not directly tell what happened last night. Instead, he asked in a roundabout way how Anjie slept.
Anjie's eyes looked confused, as if he really didn't know what happened last night. His face was still as pale as paper, giving people the feeling that a gust of wind could blow him down.
Perhaps it was because the temperature in the morning was still too cold, or perhaps because he saw his father lying in a pool of blood, Anjie started to cough violently every day.
After he finally calmed down, he said: "I slept very well last night, and I have been sleeping until now. I just feel a little sore in my body, and I don't know what's going on..."
Anjie showed a puzzled expression, but Gray was even more panicked, because he was the one who stunned Anjie last night and watched Anjie being grabbed by the Duke's feet and dragged into the room.

Jian Yao interrupted Gray's recollection and asked: "In other words, you noticed something was wrong at that time, so why did you take the lead in surrendering to me yesterday?!"
Sorry, today she is Jian Jiqiu Yao.
Gray scratched his head in embarrassment. Didn't he just find the clue after voting yesterday and trigger the memory of the past?
He admitted that the way he spoke yesterday was indeed a bit arrogant.
After Jian Yao left Gray's room, she filled in the truth she had deduced on the light screen, and then clicked "Submit".
[Congratulations to the player for cracking the truth about the Duke's case. The points for this task will be settled after clearing the copy]
Sure enough, there is another shadow of the God of Fools and Lies in this world. He is really a troublemaker.
The time soon came to 12 noon, and the second round of meetings was about to begin.
Before Jian Yao sat down, she looked at each other with Wu Jiu, Hongyan and Gray. Among the three of them, only Wu Jiu's face was a little pale.
Could it be that the prey the monster was looking for last night was Wujiu?
[Last night was Christmas Eve, players are invited to start the first round of speeches, with player No. 1 starting to speak]
Jian Yao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the system said that last night was Christmas Eve. This meant that the prey last night might have survived ten minutes, or it might be that the witch used medicine last night.
Hongyan's speech was still similar to yesterday, with no changes.
The next person to speak was Jian Yao. She first glanced at the players present, and then said firmly: "I am a prophet. I checked Gray on the first night. He is a good person. I checked on him on the second night."
It’s Anjie, he’s a monster, finished speaking.”
What? Now two prophets have jumped out, so who is the real one?
The other players were slightly startled and planned to hear what another Liz, who said she was a prophet, would say later.
After Gray bluntly stated his intention to vote with Jian Yao, it was An Jie's turn to speak.
Anjie coughed a few times, and his voice was very weak when he spoke. Is such a person really a monster capable of killing people?
"I'm a prophet. On the first night, I checked on Liz. She was a good person. On the second night, I checked on Jian Yue. She was a monster. She should have been killed by a monster on the second night. Then
The witch failed to save her, and then she was possessed by a monster. End of speech."
Jian Yao: I see you have big eyebrows and big eyes, but you are talking nonsense here?
Liz's eyes turned around between Jian Yao and An Jie, as if she wanted to see something wrong.
She didn't see anything wrong, and then said: "Well, actually, I am not a prophet at all. I am a commoner who dances as a prophet, just to cheat the witch's medicine, and to protect the prophet from the knife. The last time I said Anjie was
