But Ning Wei’s expression showed no sympathy for her.
Bai Yang found it rather dull. “I’ll go downstairs and see if anyone else has come out.”
Ning Wei watched her descend the stairs, then knocked on the doors of the other rooms.
Upon hearing Ning Wei’s voice, everyone opened their doors immediately.
Tang Tang, in particular, had spent the night in the bathtub. Who knew how uncomfortable she must have been.
The bathtub was cold and hard, and she had slept until her whole body was numb.
There were ten rooms on the third floor, and their group occupied eight of them. Among these, three rooms were murder scenes: Tang Tang’s, Ning Wei’s, and Bai Yang’s.
Since everyone had come out, the doors were left ajar, allowing them to see into each other’s rooms.
They also went to see Bai Yang’s room. The floor was covered in blood, leaving no place to step.
“Bai Yang really stayed here for a night?” Zhu Yilian couldn’t believe it.
“She was the last to enter the room and the first to leave. However, the door was open when she came out, and she claims to have stayed here. As for the truth of it, that remains to be seen,” Ning Wei analyzed rigorously.
Everyone peered inside, tiptoeing. The deeper they looked, the more gruesome it became, making it unbearable to watch.
“Alright, let’s go downstairs first,” Mei Nan was truly exasperated with these children who were both scared and curious.
Urged on by Mei Nan, everyone began to descend.
As they reached the second floor and glanced down the corridor, they saw droplets of blood on the floor.
“It seems someone has died,” Song Zhi, walking at the back, spoke softly to those ahead.
The other group was already seated at the long table. Bai Yang, who had been with them all along, was now acting as if she were an old friend, sitting next to a girl, and the two appeared very intimate.
“She sure knows how to latch onto someone strong,” Tang Tang grumbled.
“Alright, don’t let your emotions show so easily. Don’t give others an opportunity,” Ning Wei reminded Tang Tang.
People habitually complain or vent, but these could all become points of vulnerability.
The saying “guard your tongue” was the first step to ensuring one’s own safety.
Tang Tang made a zipping motion with her finger across her lips, then gave Ning Wei a placating smile.
“Let’s go down,” Ning Wei said as she continued downwards.
Blood dripped from the stairs. Visible marks left by claws could be seen on the handrail.
Seeing these marks, Ning Wei immediately thought of the werewolf claws she had seen the previous night. These claw marks must have been left by the werewolves.
Upon reaching the long table, Wu Qing reappeared from a corner.
She swiftly appeared at the front of the long table and beckoned Ning Wei and the others to sit quickly. “Breakfast will be here soon, so be ready.”
The other group had already occupied the prime seats at the front of the long table. Ning Wei and her group, arriving late, could only sit further back.
Before the food was served, Wu Qing snapped her fingers, and the candles on the three candelabras were instantly lit.
Her hoarse voice was heard saying, “Dinner is served.”
Immediately afterward, young girls dressed in black and white maid uniforms emerged from behind a door.
Seizing the brief moment the door was open, Ning Wei glanced quickly and confirmed that this door led to the kitchen.
She noted the location of this door, thinking this detail might save their lives.
The maids filed out, carrying trays.
There were twenty guests but only ten maids, so they served the meal in two rounds.
Some guests were focused on the breakfast, while others were drawn to the maids.
The breakfast consisted of two sausages, a fried egg, a glass of milk, and a breakfast roll. It wasn’t a lot, but enough to fill their stomachs.
The maids were all sweet-looking, and beneath their knee-length maid skirts, their slender legs were encased in black high heels, making a clacking sound on the floor.
For some men, a pair of beautiful legs was enough to entertain them for the day, and what’s more, the maids’ bosoms were full and seemingly about to spill out.
Only a few men present were not paying attention to the beauty around them, including Song Zhi and Mei Nan.
The former was middle-aged with a wife and daughter at home, while the latter had seen too many beautiful women in their group to form any aesthetic fatigue.
After serving the food, the maids retreated to the back, standing behind the guests, ready to attend to any requests.
Wu Qing observed everything that was happening and hinted, “The maids are here to serve the guests, so no matter what you ask for, they will fulfill it.”
Some individuals heard this highly tempting statement and swallowed hard.
“May we eat now?” Ning Wei looked at Wu Qing. She hadn’t slept well the night before and didn’t want breakfast to be so troublesome as well.
“Of course, please do,” Wu Qing extended a hand, signaling that they could begin.
Ning Wei was the first to start eating with a knife and fork. She was surprised that even dining in this castle was Western-style.
Of course, Ning Wei would have been more satisfied if the cutlery weren’t stained with blood.
There was a drop of fresh blood on the handle of the knife.
Ning Wei directly picked up a corner of the tablecloth, wiped away the blood expressionlessly, and then fully immersed herself in the breakfast.
Seeing Ning Wei eating normally, her teammates also began to eat.
Wu Qing had vanished, but the maids remained in place.
Ning Wei scanned the room, paying particular attention to the maid who had served her breakfast.
However, her exposed skin was flawless, and she found no wounds.
Ning Wei quietly withdrew her gaze, but an unusual sound reached her ears.
It turned out a guest, emboldened by lust, had directly beckoned a maid to feed him.
The method of feeding was also peculiar: he had the maid hold the food with her rosy lips and then bend over to place it in his mouth.
This method not only allowed him to steal a kiss but also to feast his eyes on the cleavage.
Once someone took the lead in such matters, more and more people would follow.
After him, several other men beckoned maids over, their hands roaming over their bodies.
The maids cooperated throughout, showing no hint of disgust or resistance in their expressions.
Ning Wei and her group couldn’t bear to watch and quickly finished their meal before leaving the hall.
Although the castle’s main door couldn’t be opened, there was a small door at the back leading to the garden, which was open for everyone to enter and exit freely.
If they didn’t want to return to their rooms and face the murder scenes, their only option was the garden.
Ning Wei led her teammates through an archway into the back garden. The garden was planted with roses of all colors, and climbing roses covered the surrounding high walls.
Clusters of flowers bloomed vibrantly. A gust of wind not only brought the fragrance of flowers but also scattered their petals.
A thick layer of petals had already accumulated on the ground. Picturing oneself sitting in the middle for a photo shoot, the results would surely be like a princess.
