Chapter 151: First Brew
Holding the nameplate in their hands, everyone looked at each other, and in the end, it was the red-haired woman who broke the silence first: "Gentlemen, my name is Chardonnay, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Adapting to an unfamiliar environment so quickly? Seems to be a very proactive person. Qingyi: "Hello, my name is Pinot Noir and I'm a traveler. ”
The bespectacled man wore a nameplate on his collar: "Merlot." Our host's hobby is so special, I didn't even know we were going to have a banquet before I came. At this time, my wife should have made dinner...... Are any of you going to go along? ”
Chardonnay glared at him: "If you want to go, you will go alone." With such a heavy rain, I don't want to get soaked. ”
Indeed, it was a raging storm outside, and the window panes were whining and shaking.
Melo also hesitated and sighed: "Well, this is also understandable. ”
"'Didn't you know you were going to have a banquet before you came?'" Qingyi smiled: "Mr. Merlot, how did you get invited?" ”
Merlot helped her glasses: "I am a painter, and I was asked by the maid this morning to repair the worn oil paintings and reliefs. Although this work is more tedious, the pay is considerable. ”
Locals invited too? Qingyi looked at Chardonnay: "Miss, are you also here to repair things?" ”
"Of course, I'm good at turning the soft into the hard." Chardonnay giggled: "I slept during the day, started work at night, and stood on the street corner for less than half an hour, and the noble lord beckoned me to get in the car." Rich people always have something new to play, I understand, but if you three are added...... Well, you have to add money. ”
Hearing these words, Merlot blushed and took the opportunity to tie her shoelaces to distance herself from the Chardonnay.
Qingyi looked at the uncle again: "Silas, don't you want to introduce yourself?" ”
Silas's behavior was somewhat unusual, and he was rude and rude when others were chatting. Hearing Qingyi's greeting, he said without looking back: "I'll forget it, anyway, you don't know if what I said is true or false." I don't talk nonsense, you can also save time, win-win. ”
This reminds Qingyi. Although it is possible to talk to NPCs to obtain information, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the information, so the player must pay more attention. Receiving different messages leads players to make different decisions, which in turn leads to different branches of the story. Words alone are not enough to judge the three people in front of you, you have to observe more carefully.
"By the way, you know what, there are always people missing recently, and the police can't solve the case. I only remembered this when I got in the car, and I was so scared, but thankfully you were here. Chardonnay patted her chest and looked at Qingyi pitifully.
"Missing?"
Merlot interjected: "This is a port city, most of them left by boat." ”
Silas snorted coldly. Chardonnay did not continue to discuss this topic, but did everything possible to apply the details of Pinot Noir.
Merlot was bored, and when she saw Silas leaning over and rubbing the carpet, she suddenly became excited and walked to the other party's side: "This is the traditional craft carpet of the Sand Palace Continent, and it is said that only the prince can enjoy it!" ”
"Don't approach me casually." Silas said. The uncle had not relaxed for a moment since he entered the room, like a fried beast.
But Merlot was not discouraged, and when the uncle's fingers touched the utensils on the table, Merlot shouted: "And that is the pottery of the Fuji Continent, full of spices from the Huaxia Continent!" ”
Grab in the West
Before pulling the attack, Qingyi also walked over: "Mr. Merlot, you are quite knowledgeable. ”
"I saw it in books, but today I can finally see the real thing. Ah, Mr. Wallace is indeed rich! ”
"Really?" When Chardonnay heard this, she also became very interested in everything in the room: "Which one is the most valuable?" ”
"Maybe you'll have to ask the maid."
It wasn't Melo who mentioned it, Qingyi almost forgot that there was a maid in the room. She stood dumbfounded against the wall, motionless, like an unwound toy.
The Chardonnay who followed pulled Qingyi's sleeve and whispered, "Don't you think she's a little weird?" How does it look like a dead man? Isn't it a bit like a legendary necromantic creature? ”
No, no, no, the real necromantic creatures are just a stone's throw away. Qingyi smiled bitterly.
"Necromantic creatures are afraid of the sun, but she went to my house in the morning." Merlot objected.
"Is that what you read from the book?" Silas had probably checked everything in the reception room and walked to the window to observe the weather: "There is a kind of necromantic creature called the living dead, who can walk in the sun. ”
Qingyi couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times. He wasn't worried about being recognized, the quality of the "fragrant cologne aperitif" was excellent after all. He just felt that Silas had a secret hidden in him.
The intel is almost gathered, and the first thing that is certain is that the upcoming dinner party will not be easy. The people in the reception room are more likely to be victims than guests. Although Qing Yi did not unfold the [Soul Force Field] to see through the situation of the mansion for the sake of safety, he had already felt the slightest wisps of resentment emerging from all corners of the room, and it was conservatively estimated that more than thirty people died in the mansion - this was a veritable murderous mansion.
"I'm so hungry, when will I be able to eat?" Chardonnay pursed her lips, glanced at the wine bottle on the table, and pushed Merlot with her elbow: "Handsome guy, do you want to drink?" ”
……
After a toast, Pinot Noir collapsed, shocking everyone present. Chardonnay screamed, Mellot retched, and Silas's face turned pale, but the maid walked up to the three of them with a calm demeanor and said, "Next, I will deliver the message reserved by the master." ”
Silas grabbed the maid by the neck with one hand and lifted her up: "What the hell have you done?" ”
The maid's face was flushed, and she could not breathe, but her eyes were still blank, and she did not even struggle reflexively. Silas took a sip and pushed her away, "Tell that bullshit message!" ”
The maid coughed a few times and said in a flat tone, "Distinguished guests, this message is only triggered after you have all drunk the wine. I have poisoned my wine, and in two hours I will have a seizure, and I will definitely die. I only have one antidote, which guest can take a chance to live? ”
Chardonnay's legs weakened, and she sat down on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes: "That's how people disappeared...... I knew it, I knew it! ”
Maid: "In two hours, I'll give the antidote to the only guest who remains in the mansion." Everything in the mansion is at your disposal, and you don't need to pay for any damage. The rules are simple, right? In addition, I have another news: one of the guests is my internal response, isn't it a surprise? ”
"Guilty?" Merlot wanted to support Chardonnay, but when she heard this, her hand retracted sharply.
Chardonnay roared, "What do you mean! I'm not guilty! ”
"You're the first to say you're going to drink! We didn't say we were going to drink! ”
"I'm bored, and there's something wrong with drinking?! Then I can also say that you are guilty, and you have been waiting for someone to propose a drink! You're so good at acting! Chardonnay slapped the floor hard and glared back.
Mellot was speechless for a moment, grinning at each other, probably wrestling with the fierce words.
The maid had silently stepped aside and turned the hourglass on the bar upside down: "The game has begun, please seize the time." Then he stood with his hands down, and was stunned again.
Silas picked up the suitcase and seemed to want to open it, but paused for two seconds before putting it down. He turned to the two of them: "Wallace claims that there is only one antidote, implying that we can kill each other and fight for the only chance of survival. I'm saying it in the first place, if you dare to make a bad decision against me, I'll kill you, and I won't have to wait two hours for the poison to happen. ”
Chardonnay smiled: "You vomited the wine, you weren't poisoned at all, so you're the guilty!" ”
"Let's hear what he has to say." Melo persuaded. "He can lift up an adult female with one hand, and he doesn't need to poison us to kill us."
"Tricking people into mansions and instigating them to kill each other, I've seen many bad seeds in my life, but none of them are as good as Wallace. Do psychopathic and twisted people have the so-called integrity at all? So you believe every word he says? Is there really poison in wine? Is there really an inner response among us? Are we absolutely safe in two hours? Will he really show up two hours later? Use your brains! ”
Chardonnay asked, "And what do you think?" ”
"I'm going to explore this mansion and find Wallace. I want him to understand that he's messing with people he shouldn't be messing with. If you can cooperate with me, I will do my best to take care of you, and ideally all three of us will be safe and sound. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, can you count me in?" Someone on the side asked.
Silas turned his head suddenly.
Pinot Noir, who was obviously dead, sat on the table with Erlang's legs crossed, filled himself with a glass of wine, and tasted it leisurely.
"You...... How did you? ”
"Don't be surprised, Uncle Ben just fainted." Pinot Noir raised his glass with a smile on his face: "This wine is really good." If you don't dare to drink it, then Uncle Ben is welcome. ”
Chardonnay hid behind Silas: "He feels different, it's like he's become a different person!" ”
"I've seen this situation in a book, it's a dual personality!"
Silas's face was solemn: "It could also be possessed by something filthy." ”
Pinot Noir glared: "Put your mouth a little cleaner, it's not filthy at all, okay?" ”
"Bah-" Chardonnay crouched and hugged her knees, tears streaming down her eyes: "I was abducted first, and now I see a ghost again!" Why am I so unlucky! ”
Pinot Noir held his forehead: "Alas, how can Uncle Ben explain?" Selens, I swear I won't hurt you, it's okay! ”
Chardonnay looked at Merlot with tears in her eyes, and Merlot scratched her head: "Selens...... The book doesn't say it, maybe it's a foreign god, right? ”
Silas looked at Pinot Noir warily and said, "Anyway, let's vote, do we work together to get Wallace, or do we all fight for it?" ”
