The Inspector gave a faint smile, “You’re welcome, I just answered the questions as I should.”

It bowed slightly, still polite and elegant, “Then, please enjoy.”

The Inspector left the dining room.

When Su Man, Zhu Shu, and Yu Yaqing came over, they happened to see this scene and asked Bai Youwei, “What were you discussing?”

Bai Youwei shook her head lightly, “Nothing much, we were just confirming things again.”

Just now, the Inspector’s answer didn’t mention the key, which meant that the key had nothing to do with passing the round.

Even if it did, it certainly wasn’t essential, otherwise the Inspector would have reasons to tell the players.

The Inspector could conceal the process of meeting conditions, but it couldn’t hide the conditions themselves!

It could tell the players to find the key and set up numerous obstacles in the process, but it couldn’t conceal the task of “finding the key”! If even the purpose is concealed, doesn’t the challenge lose its meaning?

A teacher can test students with questions, but you can’t hide the questions and let students guess blindly!

That would be unfair.

“The Duke must die.” She finished the remaining milk, wiped her mouth, and continued, “In a game for women only, the Combat Power required shouldn’t be too high, so the Duke must have a weakness. Since he’s invincible at night, let’s try the daytime gardener.”

Su Man nodded in agreement, “Yu Yaqing and I will go up from the basement, you and Zhu Shu wait directly on the third floor, we will open the door when we arrive.”

Yu Yaqing frowned, as if she wanted to say something, but then she kept quiet.

“What’s wrong?” Su Man nudged her in the arm.

Yu Yaqing said, “Hu Ya hasn’t emerged.”

“Once she gets out of here, she’ll feel better.” Su Man was unimpressed, “There were many like her, just entered the game and was too shocked, became mentally abnormal.”

Zhu Shu asked, “Shall we go after breakfast?”

Su Man said, “Let’s go to the second floor first to find weapons, the swords from before have all been broken by him.”

After a few discussions, they all got up and prepared to go to the third floor.

Just as they were about to turn around, they surprisingly saw Hu Ya, who had been hiding in the room, came over.

“I’m very sorry about what happened yesterday…” Hu Ya approached them remorsefully, “I’ve thought it over, I want to join you in fighting that monster, no amount of rewards can compare to the importance of everyone working together.”

Her change was so sudden that everyone was at a loss for words.

Yu Yaqing said, “First, come and get the weapons with Su Man and me, then go to the third floor with Bai Youwei and Zhu Shu. You’re agile and could be a great help.”

Bai Youwei gave Hu Ya a casual glance and did not voice any objections to this arrangement.

They split into two groups. One headed to the basement while the other made straight for the third floor. Meanwhile, Hu Ya was behaving honestly, causing no trouble.

Before long, Su Man and Yu Yaqing had opened the stone wall.

But their faces were extremely grim, standing at the door, not immediately letting Bai Youwei and the others in.

“Before you come in, you’d better be prepared.” Yu Yaqing said gravely, “Cheng Xi’s corpse… is in there.”

Bai Youwei was puzzled, “Only Cheng Xi’s?”

“Well…” Yu Yaqing furrowed her brows and glanced inside, “Anyway… you’ll know once you go in.”

Bai Youwei’s heart sank. She had a vague suspicion.

She followed Yu Yaqing and Su Man into the torture room, and saw… Cheng Xi was seated in the witch’s chair, her body pierced with dense iron nails! Her once white shroud had long since turned crimson!

Cheng Xi… had been tortured!
