Weird story about rules: I rely on magic to kill people

Chapter 18 Windsor Castle (17)

The countess took a few steps forward, then stood still and stared at Xu Zhinian and the other four.

Even if you narrow your eyes to a slit and turn your head to the side, you can still see a cruel and gloomy gaze.

There is a red thread tied to the ankle of her left foot, and a silver bell is passed through the red thread and hidden on the inside of the ankle.

The three of them had no idea who the woman in front of them was, and they were afraid of violating the rules of Kaidan Paradise, so they didn't dare to say a word.

They did not know that simply not saying hello to the countess was a violation of the rules.

Thanks to Xu Zhinian's presence here, otherwise she would have turned into a strange appearance and attacked.

*
It was Xu Zhinian who broke the silence first. She bowed her hands to the countess respectfully: "Good evening, countess. Why are you here?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people in Balu were so surprised that their eyes widened.

No one thought that the woman in front of them was actually the current mistress of this castle.

The three of them hurriedly raised their hands to the countess and imitated Xu Zhinian in saying hello to her: "Good evening, countess."

The countess opened her eyes just now, and her plan for a strange arrival failed again.

She was a little unhappy, but she couldn't hold anything back, so she could only say: "I should ask you this. I remember that in the rules of the castle given to you by the housekeeper, it was clearly written not to come to this room. .”

"Why are you here?"

"It's such a strong sense of oppression. I feel like this current countess is the biggest villain boss."

"I remember that there seems to be a rule to say hello to the count and countess when you see them? If it hadn't been for Sister Xu just now, the consequences would have been disastrous..."

"What should I do? I feel so embarrassed. Let's see what Sister Xu does next."

"Yeah, why are we here?"

……

Everyone present was dumbfounded, no one expected that Xu Zhinian would answer like this.

What should I do if I don’t want to answer other people’s questions? ——Playing dumb.

Xu Zhinian had mastered pretending to be stupid, and he answered something that made the Countess have a headache, but was too lazy to ask the question carefully.

After hearing this answer, the expression on the countess's face did not tighten, and she burst into laughter.

This, are you asking her?

She was too lazy to argue with Xu Zhinian. She had more important things to do now, so she waved her hand and told them to leave quickly: "Come on, I won't go into detail about why you are here. I warn you again, you are not allowed to enter or leave this room at will."

"go out!"

Xu Zhinian smiled sweetly: "Yes!"

Do you all think she is pretending to be stupid?No.

Xu Zhinian guessed that the countess had important things to do, so she deliberately said that so that she would have no time to care.

Saying "goodbye", she pulled Balu and the three of them and quickly walked out of the room.

After reaching the corridor on the second floor, she closed the door.

It wasn't until they took another seven or eight steps outside that Balu and the others dared to speak.

Balu: "It's too dangerous! I really didn't expect that Sister Xu would answer like that."

Sidney, who was behind him, turned to look at Eliad, and the two of them nodded with certainty: "Yes, when you answered like that, I was even afraid that the countess would be angry..."

"Then what are we going to do now?" Eliade finally asked.

Xu Zhinian pointed to the door of the room just now and made a silent gesture: "The walls here have ears. Let's go back to the room on the first floor first."

"Are you still going?" The mention of the first floor obviously brought back bad memories for Balu. He hesitated and asked, "Can't I not go?"

"Of course not," Xu Zhinian insisted: "There are still two strange guards, and we haven't found any clues!"

"Pfft, look at that little daughter-in-law from Luochuan who looks like she's been bullied."

"Sister Xu is so arrogant. I want to hug her thighs because I'm so close to you." "Get out of the way upstairs. Sister Xu's thighs are mine! (licking the screen) (hiss, hiss, hiss)"

When he walked to the door of the room on the first floor, Xu Zhinian's magic restriction on the door lock was still there.

Before Xu Zhinian could take back the magic restriction above, Eliade had already moved forward.She was about to stop her, but it was too late.

Iliad saw a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to open the door.

With a bang, a ball of lightning flashed between Eliad's palm and the door lock.

He couldn't dodge, and was so painful that he immediately flinched.

Then he gritted his teeth and grinned: "What is it? It hurts... it hurts so much."

*
Ballu and Sidney were frightened by this scene, and they thought to themselves: Fortunately it wasn't me.

Xu Zhinian shook her head speechlessly. She was about to take back the magic restriction on the door lock, but who knew that Eliade would be the first to open the door...

I can only blame him for his bad luck.

"What the hell? What happened?"

"Sister Xu set up a magic ban before, right? It was originally to prevent outsiders, but who knew that Jia Shui Kingdom would grab this conspicuous bag by herself..."

"If people are not good enough, don't blame the uneven road."

Xu Zhinian first took back the restriction on the door lock and opened the door.

Then he turned to ask Eliade, and only walked into the room after he said "it's okay".

The remaining three people followed her and returned to the place where the two strange guards were restrained.

After locking the door, Xu Zhinian raised his head and met the eyes of the two guards.

They are still hanging upside down!If it hadn't been for the strange transformation, he would probably have fainted because he couldn't hold on any longer. Why would he have bared his teeth at her?

She smiled and tied the beam tighter.

Immediately afterwards, the four people formed a circle.

Xu Zhinian turned his back to the two strange guards and talked about his thoughts with the three people in front of him: "Now that it is safe for now, let's share the clues we found in the dark room on the second floor."

The three of them agreed and nodded.

The clues started to be shared from Balu. He had been searching for a long time in the deepest part of the darkroom and finally found some useful clues.

He took out a wrinkled diary from his back. The paper in the diary was a little yellowed and looked old.

Several pieces of paper are stuck together in the lower right corner, and there are circles of dried water stains on them, as if they have been soaked in water.

Balu spread the diary flat in front of everyone and flipped through the pages.

This is the diary of the original countess.

The first page of the diary records the reason and process of her being locked in the darkroom:

On a rainy night 11 years ago, in order to protect her from the persecution of the current countess, the count had to hide her in a dark room deep in the corridor on the second floor.In the meantime, get their daughters into trustworthy hands.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that the original countess was hidden in the dark room by the earl."

"In other words, the current countess wants to persecute the original one?"

"No? Isn't this castle the count's final decision? Why do I feel that the current countess is more..."

After Xu Zhinian read the entire diary, he suddenly realized.

Only then did she understand why the original countess was in the darkroom. In this way, the clues she got could be strung together in one line.

However, they still don't know what the current countess wants.

Balu closed the diary and put it behind his back: "These are the clues I found. Next, I'll look at your clues."

Sidney nodded thoughtfully and raised his right arm slightly: "Then in clockwise order, I will share next."
