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

Chapter 5 Windsor Castle (4)

The people who were arguing fell silent instantly.Since they knew that the fourth rule was wrong, they were afraid of making the housekeeper angry, so they obeyed her words.

Xu Zhinian stared at the clock on the wall.It's now: ten past nine.

The time to clear the dungeon is limited, so you can't always delay on meaningless things.

So, she stood up and asked: "Butler, what's next? What are we going to do?"

"Next, I will lead you to check into the guest rooms. After that, all the young masters and ladies can move around freely. Remember the rules last night. If you violate them, you will be responsible for the consequences." She put the emphasis on the last sentence, as if to remind you something.

Xu Zhinian yawned and asked lazily: "What about me? Housekeeper, I checked into the guest room last night, can I move around freely?"

The housekeeper originally wanted to say "no", but when her eyes met Xu Zhinian's, what happened last night was still vivid in her mind.

So, she replied in a very gentle tone: "Of course, Miss, you have the key to the guest room and you can do whatever you want."

"However, Rule [-] states that there is a room deep on the second floor. Miss, please abide by it and do not go there."

Xu Zhinian agreed happily and quickly disappeared under the gazes of the other four people.

If no one is allowed to go to a nice room, there must be a ghost.

So, Xu Zhinian decided that the first place he wanted to go was the room deep on the second floor.

When she followed the housekeeper to the guest room on the third floor last night, she had already begun to pay attention to the topography of the castle.

She walked along the stairs to the second floor and stopped temporarily in front of the long and narrow corridor.

At the end of the corridor, red magic swirled around the deep room.It seems that there is indeed a problem with Rule [-]. There is a secret in the room deep on the second floor.

"Oh my god! Did Sister Xu go to the most dangerous place as soon as she came up?"

"You just promised the housekeeper not to go, and then you turn around and go. This is called flexibility!"

"Look, is there a black cat in the lower left corner?"

Xu Zhinian turned his head and noticed a black cat lying on the ground on the left side of the corridor.

The black cat also seemed to notice her. He stood up suddenly from his lying state, bared his teeth at her, and roared from time to time.

This should correspond to Rule [-].The rules say that if you see a black cat in the castle, you should stay away from it immediately and report it to the housekeeper.

But she observed that the black cat was surrounded by blue magic power, and there was no danger at all.In contrast, the housekeeper, surrounded by red magic, is even less believable.

It seems that there is also a problem with this fifth rule.Not only should you not stay away from the black cat, but you should approach it and keep it a secret from the housekeeper.

She knelt down and took small steps to get closer to the black cat.

The fur all over the black cat's body suddenly exploded, and it continued to bar its teeth viciously, looking unapproachable.

It wasn't until Xu Zhinian stretched out his hand to smooth its fur that the black cat returned to its docile appearance.It lay next to Xu Zhinian's shoes and rubbed her gently with its body.

"That black cat was baring its teeth just now!"

"Don't tell me, Sister Xu is playing with the cat. The more you watch it, the warmer it becomes."

"Look what the black cat is doing!"

The black cat bit Xu Zhinian's trouser leg and pulled it deep into the corridor with great force.

It looked like it was trying to take her somewhere.

Xu Zhinian thought for a while and felt that black cats were specifically mentioned in the rules, or two rules, so black cats must be very important.

Since Black Cat wants to take her somewhere, then that place must be important too.

So, Xu Zhinian moved along with the black cat's strength.Not long after, she arrived at the door of the room at the far end of the corridor on the second floor.

The black cat then let go of its mouth, rubbed Xu Zhinian's ankle, and ran to the door again, shouting in a low voice.

Xu Zhinian frowned slightly...are you asking her to enter that room?
Out of politeness, Xu Zhinian reached out and knocked gently on the door.

"Is there anyone please?"

No one responded.

It looks like an empty room?Or maybe there is someone in the room but no sound can be made?
She looked down at the black cat. At this moment, its hair was exploding all over and it was reacting violently.

In any case, she was certain that this room must be important.

Without the key, knocking on the door did not answer, so Xu Zhinian had no choice but to do it himself.

I saw her stretching out her right hand and mumbling something.The palm of his hand shook slightly, and then a dazzling light emitted.

The light emanated from Xu Zhinian's palm and easily penetrated the door lock.

The door opened.

The black cat jumped in with a swish, followed closely by Xu Zhinian.

There is no one in the room. Looking at the layout and furnishings of the room, it should be a bedroom.

In the center of the bedroom, there is a large bed made of golden nanmu wood.There is a pink gauze hanging on the bed, next to it is a chair, and to the left of the chair is a dressing table...

The black cat was still covered in fur. After walking around the bedroom, it jumped on the dressing table, as if giving guidance.

Xu Zhinian quickly walked to the dressing table and stared at the things on the dressing table.

It was a cosmetic commonly used in the Middle Ages, and everything looked normal.

Suddenly, a very conspicuous blue magic flashed in her sight.Following the magic, she found the source - in the dresser drawer.

Xu Zhinian immediately opened the drawer and a letter came into view.

The letter in the copy of Monster Paradise is a rare clue.She unfolded the letter and wrote:
Finally someone found this letter and I wonder if I am still alive?

Something very painful happened in this room, I don't know how to describe it.

I can only tell you that the countess of this castle is very problematic.she is not……

This letter seems to have been tampered with, and this is the only legible text.

Xu Zhinian tried to use magic to restore it, but with little success. He could only restore two more words: Really.

"She's not real..." Xu Zhinian muttered, thinking.

The letter said that the countess was very problematic, and the main plot of this copy was to find the birthday gift the countess wanted.

It seems that she is very close to the truth.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind Xu Zhinian.

She folded the letter quickly, put it in her pocket, and turned around quickly.

The person approaching from behind was the housekeeper. Her face was expressionless at the moment, and her sinister eyes were fixed on Xu Zhinian and the black cat beside her.

"Didn't I say never come near this room?"

"There is also rule number [-]. If you encounter a black cat, please stay away immediately and report it to me."

The housekeeper looked at Xu Zhinian indifferently and continued: "Miss Longguo, it seems that you are very disobedient. In this case, please follow me to see the earl."

See the Count?Xu Zhinian was worried about how he met him!

It seems that the housekeeper knew that she could not defeat her, so she had to take her to the earl, which was really what she wanted.

Xu Zhinian pretended to be embarrassed: "Do you have to meet me? Okay then..."
