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

Chapter 21 Windsor Castle (20)

No one asked why they wanted to go to her room, and the four of them followed Xu Zhinian closely.

Walking to the door, Xu Zhinian took out the key from his pocket.

Just as she was about to insert the key into the keyhole, Balu behind her suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute! Sister Xu, please open the door with your key, be careful..."

Wen Tu behind him looked confused: "What the hell? Isn't the key just for opening the door? And from Luochuan Kingdom, you actually called the little girl from Long Kingdom, sister?"

"What do you know?" Balu glared at him: "One of the rules of ghost stories is that you cannot use a key to open the door, otherwise something strange will happen. Besides, I, Sister Xu, saved my life. What's wrong with calling me Sister?"

Wen Tu looked in disbelief and clicked his tongue at the side.

"Now I like the passers of Luochuan Kingdom more and more."

"Look at him arguing with the guy from Furong Kingdom, don't be too funny."

"But everyone, I also have a question. Is it really okay for Sister Xu to open the door with the key?"

"+1"

In the end, Balu failed to hold Xu Zhinian.

The moment she inserted the key into the keyhole, the three people behind her, except Wen Tu, hid with their heads in their hands.

Xu Zhinian pushed the door open, but nothing happened.Turning to look at Balu, Sidney and Eliade running away with their heads in their hands, I couldn't help laughing.

She smiled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Balu: "What if something strange happens?"

Xu Zhinian didn't explain, feeling helpless. They didn't want to think about it. If there was danger, would she do it?
Who is not a fool?
After all five people entered the room, Xu Zhinian closed the door.

Wen Tu was confused at the moment and had no idea what had happened before.He could tell that Balu was not dealing with him right now, and he didn't know anything else.

Xu Zhinian spent 3 minutes explaining clearly the cause and effect to him.

She was not idle during the three minutes of explaining to Wentu.

She took out a bag of cat food from the bedside table and handed it to Eliad.

Eliade was confused, blinked and asked, "Is this it?"

"Aren't your hands swollen? Apply it on your hands. This is medicine." Xu Zhinian answered seriously.

"Ah?" Sidney reached out and touched it, "Isn't this cat food?"

Xu Zhinian was too lazy to explain, so he only said two words: "Rules."

"Understood!" Everyone realized.

"What rule is this?"

"Is it the one bitten by a cat? It seems like this one. Cat food was applied to the wound."

"Watching Sister Xu in Ghost Story Land is like watching her return to her own home!"

After smearing his hands full of cat food, Eliade asked: "Then what should we do next?"

Xu Zhinian had already thought about it and told them his thoughts: "Before I look for the ring, I plan to go find the earl."

The other four were silent for a long time, and it was Sidney who asked first: "But didn't those two guards say that the earl couldn't protect himself?"

Xu Zhinian did not deny it, only said: "Yes. But looking for the ring has nothing to do with his own insecurity. Maybe the earl hid the ring. I wonder if he can find it soon."

Having said this, everyone agreed that it made sense.

But all five people couldn't go to the count. There were too many people, and it would be easy for the countess to notice something unusual.

Xu Zhinian had to go, so the other candidates were confirmed by drawing lots.

In the end, Balu followed her and looked for the earl together.

The other three people are responsible for paying attention to the countess's correspondence, and at the same time looking for clues about the ring.

After a brief explanation, Xu Zhinian took Balu and left the room.

The two of them walked quickly, but not in the direction of the count's room or study.

Before Xu Zhinian went to find the earl, he planned to meet the two guards first.After walking along the stairs to the first floor of the castle, exiting the hall and turning a corner, Xu Zhinian led Balu to the guards' barracks.

When Xu Zhinian got the identity tags and keys of the two guards, he took a special glance at them.Their rooms were in the last two rooms of this single row of barracks.

Walking to the door, she knocked gently.

thump -- thump -- thump --

The door opened, and the guard who came out seemed shocked that Xu Zhinian would show up.

I just said it casually, but I didn't expect that she would actually come.

After he invited Xu Zhinian and Balu into the house, he went to the next room and called another person in.

Xu Zhinian got straight to the point and told them his thoughts.

They want to see the count, but someone has to keep the countess in check.After all, if the countess came in while she was talking, things would be difficult.

As soon as the man said a word, it was difficult for the horse to chase.

The two guards agreed.

The four of them briefly discussed the plan and confirmed that it could be implemented.

Then Xu Zhinian took advantage of the moonlit night to lead Balu to the count's room.She didn't knock on the door, but took him to hide aside.

The two guards followed the plan and knocked on the door to call the countess out.

The countess looked tired and opened the door impatiently: "Who is it?"

"Oh, it's you," she asked disdainfully after seeing the two guards, "What are you doing here?"

The two guards followed the plan and said to her, "Madam, it's about the letter."

As expected, the countess took the bait. She hurriedly looked around and closed the door behind her: "Don't talk here, come with me."

"Damn it! The countess really left with two guards!"

"Sister Xu is really amazing! She predicts things like a god!"

"What do you know? This is called manipulation! Sister Xu has the entire Kaitan Paradise under control!"

After the countess and the two guards walked away, Xu Zhinian and Balu walked out from the side.

She pushed open the door to the count's room, and the two of them walked in one after the other.

The count was lying on the bed at the moment. When he heard the door opening, he cursed loudly without seeing who was coming: "Bitch! Even if you poison me, I won't tell you where the ring is!"

"When I die and there is no one to inherit, this castle will be divided equally among the workers and servants of the entire castle. You can't even imagine it!"

It wasn't until Xu Zhinian and Balu came to his bedside that he stopped cursing.

The earl didn't recognize who Balu was, but he was surprised when he saw Xu Zhinian: "Young lady from the Dragon Kingdom, why are you here?"

Xu Zhinian knew that the two guards could not delay for much time, so he kept the story short: "Earl, I have seen the lady in the darkroom. I came here to ask you where the ring is?"

The division of labor between the two was clear. She asked questions, while Baru stood at the door to see if the countess had returned.

The earl looked surprised: "Do you even know about the ring?"

Xu Zhinian nodded: "Not only that, I also know that you were poisoned by the current wife. Time is limited, where is the ring?"

When the count heard the words "poison," he beat the bed angrily.

If he hadn't brought the current countess back to the castle, none of this would have happened now. He hated himself.

"Find the black cat on the second floor and take it to the darkroom you went to. It will lead you to find it."

Xu Zhinian thanked him, took Balu and left the earl's room immediately.

so close!As soon as they left, the countess entered the house behind.

Through the wall, I could only hear two people arguing in the room.

"Do you think I can't know where the ring is if you don't tell me?"
