“What if we’re wrong?”
Bai Youwei repeated Hu Ya’s question, her tone sowhat perplexed.
“If we’re wrong, we’re wrong, it’s just an NPC. What’s the big deal if we kill the wrong person?”
Su Man chid in: “Exactly, it’s not a real person, just a ga character. No harm done if we kill it.”
“You guys!….” Hu Ya was getting frustrated and upset, “What do you an ‘no harm done’? The Gardener is an NPC, he might have important clues! If you kill him, we’ll lose those clues!”
Bai Youwei narrowed her eyes and looked at Hu Ya: “What, have you gained any clues from him?”
Hu Ya hesitated and stuttered: “I…I of course have not…”
Yu Yaqing saw the change in her expression and asked sternly: “Hu Ya, do you or do you not?”
“No!” Hu Ya denied vehently, “I just think her way of clearing the ga is flawed! This ga, how could it be justified that you just kill sobody and clear the stage? There must be sothing we don’t know! We do not need to take the risk to attack the Duke. The people caught by the Duke cannot be saved, it’s a waste of effort!”
“So, you didn’t follow us just now?” Yu Yaqing frowned and said, “We attacked the Duke not only to save the people, but also to test the Duke’s strength and weaknesses. Even though he beca extrely dangerous in his wrath, if the rule that he kills one person every night holds, then we are actually safe.”
After a pause, she looked at Bai Youwei: “Through last night and tonight’s attacks, I can confirm our attacks are ineffective. At least the weapons in this manor are useless to him.”
Bai Youwei considered it for a mont and spoke lightly, “Everyone, take so rest. We will examine the execution chamber once the dawn breaks.”
As she prepared to wheel herself away, Yu Yaqing called her back,
“Wait a minute.”
Bai Youwei stopped and looked at her puzzled.
Yu Yaqing pursed her lips and said, “Actually, I have the clue provided by the Gardener.”
Su Man and Zhu Shu both looked surprised.
Hu Ya was also taken aback, her eyes fixated on Yu Yaqing.
“What clue?” Bai Youwei asked.
“The Gardener once said that to leave this place, we need to find the key to the manor’s main door, but later…he told there are real and fake keys, and mine, is real.”
As she spoke, Yu Yaqing took out the key, and continued,
“The Gardener also said the fewer the number of people who pass, the greater the reward. If there’s only one bride left in the end, she will receive seven tis the reward.”
…Seven tis reward!
They were all taken aback.
So people’s breathing beca quicker.
All eyes were focused on the key in Yu Yaqing’s hand, including Bai Youwei’s.
She reached out to take the key from Yu Yaqing, her hand hovered in the air, paused for two seconds before retracting it, and said with a calm tone, “Then let’s give it a try.”
Yu Yaqing held the key and said, “Lets give it a try.”
The five won ca to the mansion’s front door.
The door, was tightly closed.
Complex patterns extended to the corners of the door fra, with a beautiful lock sitting in the middle like a work of art. Surrounded by golden splendor, it made this place seem even more like a gorgeous cage.
Yu Yaqing took a deep breath, aligned the key with the keyhole, and inserted it.
Turned.
Click…
Yu Yaqing frowned and tried turning it the other way, but the key was stuck in the lock.
She pulled out the key, looked at the others, looking sowhat confused.
“This key doesn’t fit.” Yu Yaqing said, “It doesn’t work.”
