All seven women turned to look at the Inspector.

If the answer was “yes,” then they would have to start tearing each other apart from this moment on!

If the answer was “no,” then they need to reconsider the implication of “the last bride.”

However, would the Inspector really disclose the answer so easily?

It calmly observed the varying expressions of the women, and after a long pause, grinned slightly and said, “You brides must be exhausted from your travels. Please return to your rooms and rest. Later, I will prepare a hearty luncheon for you.”

Disappointment swept over the women’s faces one by one.

Except for Bai Youwei.

As if she had already anticipated that the Inspector would not tell the truth, she calmly rolled her wheelchair past him and headed straight toward her room.

Seeing this, the others hesitated for a moment before reluctantly making their way to their rooms.

The Inspector watched as the women receded into the distance.

His sense of satisfaction suddenly felt unfulfilled as if someone had scrawled across an immaculate wall, or stepped on a pair of pristine white shoes… Or, as though he was just beginning to grasp the subtlety and richness of human emotions when he suddenly encountered a hard cold wall.

Bai Youwei…

He had encountered players of all sorts, some as intelligent as her, some as calm, but none… none like her, as if she were a born gamer.

Out of all of them, she was the one who adapted best to the game.

If such a player were to die in the game, he would certainly feel regret. However… what kind of amazing data would she show at the moment of her death? The mere thought of it was tingling with excitement.

He was…quite looking forward to it.

“There is another hint to the game’s winning condition… ” The Inspector lingered at one end of the hallway and spoke again.

The women ahead came to a halt.

All they heard was the Inspector saying softly, “You can roam freely in the mansion and use any items you come across. However, please avoid the locked rooms, otherwise the Duke will be very, very… irate.”

After saying this, the Inspector smiled at the women, turned around, and slowly walked away from the hallway.

The women stood rooted to their spots, gazing at each other in bewilderment and terror.

Cheng Xi was trembling with fear, even though she knew both Yu Yaqing and Hu Ya didn’t like her, she couldn’t resist moving closer to them and whispering, “Is this the second hint? …What does he mean by that?”

Yu Yaqing frowned, “It sounds like he’s talking in reverse, deliberately making us look for the locked rooms?” ƒreewebɳovel.com

“…Could it be Bluebeard?” Zhu Shu spoke up.

“Bluebeard?” Cheng Xi froze a moment before hurriedly explaining, “I know that fairy tale. There was once an aristocrat with a blue beard that scared everyone away. No one dared to marry their daughter to him. Eventually, he got married. After the wedding, he told his wife she could unlock any room in the house, except one! This…this is very similar to the Inspector’s hint!”

“Since you know of Bluebeard, you should also know the original version of the story, right?” Bai Youwei gave her a glance, “In fact, Bluebeard was a habitual killer. Every wife he married would be subjected to brutal violence, and their bodies… would be in that locked room.”

“No…” Cheng Xi whimpered, tears welling up in her eyes. “Are we going to be killed? …I don’t want to be the bride….”

Zhao Lanfen also sobbed uncontrollably, “Why did they have to hold this feast! Why did they invite us for a meal! If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have gone to the banquet with Old Li!”

Although Hu Ya didn’t seem as frightened as the others, she was just as anxious inside, turning to Yu Yaqing to ask, “Sister Yu, what should we do?”

Gritting her teeth, Yu Yaqing proposed after some thought, “The Duke won’t be back until the sunset. Let’s wander around and see if we can find any clues.”
