"Is there a difference? If we can't find a way to ensure safety, even if we find the murderer, we won't be able to walk out alive. Does that make sense?"
"If you don't know how to chat, don't talk nonsense. Do you think you are smart?"
Without anyone speaking up, Boss Su and Sister Meng began to quarrel. Although the others remained silent, they were also watching the fun.
Shu Li is probably the only person at this table who concentrates on cooking.
"Why don't you say anything?" Boss Su looked vaguely defeated and turned his spear directly towards Shu Li.
As soon as a mouthful of warm soup entered her mouth, Shu Li swallowed it, picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped around her mouth, then slowly spoke: "What should I say?"
She suddenly looked enlightened: "Oh~ I'm full."
After saying that, Shu Li stood up directly, smiled slightly, and left the restaurant without saying another word.
The remaining people were caught off guard by this attitude and were all confused.
But Shuli couldn't care about them anymore.
Her mission has arrived. The bold red text on the panel clearly states that she must prepare all the magic tricks and perform them on time at seven o'clock in the evening.
Shu Li followed the prompts on the panel and found the housekeeper, who then led him outside the villa. The large open space on the right was littered with scattered objects, which were all the props used in her magic.
The housekeeper took her to the place and returned directly to the villa without arranging any helper for her.
Looking at the many objects on the ground, Shu Li sighed silently.
What is this? I can’t understand it at all.
At this time, Shuli's panel gave her an option.
The fifty points Shuli had previously obtained were just enough to exchange for an assembly diagram, and the panel would help her complete one-third of the assembly process.
Although Shuli didn't know what use the points would have in the follow-up process, it was obviously more important to get through the current difficulties.
She decisively clicked the change button, and then she learned the assembly process of the panel and studied the damn assembly diagram.
Time passed little by little, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, Shuli got stuck on a connecting mechanism and stood there blankly for a while.
At this time, a loud noise suddenly came from the villa next to it, and the windows facing Shuli were shattered, and the glass fragments fell to the ground.
Shu Li ran over immediately, stood three steps away and looked up, but she didn't see any strange figure.
Her eyes then fell on the ground. The glass fragments reflected the sun's rays and were very dazzling.
However, Shu Li still saw the palm-sized silk doll.
The fabric on the doll's body was bright red, and its long hair of the same color was turned into a braid on the left side. There was only a pair of bleeding eyes on its face, which opened and closed, making it extremely scary.
In addition, with such a loud noise, no one in the villa came out to take a look.
Shu Li looked at the time, it was 5:05, and she wrote it down.
Then, she walked around to the door of the villa and pressed the doorbell.
This time it was Foreman Gu who opened the door. He had a lot of white flour on his body, and some of it splashed on his face.
"What's wrong?" he asked doubtfully.
Shu Li was suspicious and asked tentatively: "Did you hear any strange sounds just now?"
Foreman Gu shook his head: "No. In order to ensure that the dinner was held normally, the housekeeper separated everyone. It was so quiet that it was a bit scary."
Shu Li nodded, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Maybe I heard it wrong. It's too quiet. People's ears are prone to problems."
"Thank you for your hard work. It's actually more dangerous outside than in the villa. Pay attention to safety." As Foreman Gu said himself, he only seeks profit. If there is no conflict, he will even release a small kindness.
"Thank you."
Shu Li turned around and returned to her original position. Before starting work again, she accidentally glanced at the villa again.
This sight made her heart tremble.
The shattered glass had reappeared intact on the window sill. The silk doll was sitting on the window sill on the third floor, with its eyes narrowed as if smiling.
That's Long Guo's room!
When Shu Li stared at it, the doll seemed to notice Shu Li's attention. It jumped up and down, and actually entered Long Guo's room through the glass.
Shu Li put down the props in her hand, strode towards the villa, and started knocking on the door hastily.
This time it was still Foreman Gu who opened the door. He looked at Shu Li, who was still panting, and noticed something was wrong: "Something happened?"
Shuli's breathing had not slowed down yet, and it took a while. When she could speak, Leyan came down from upstairs holding a small box with broken flowers.
Shu Li quickly swallowed her unspoken words and said instead: "I am looking for a daughter of pleasure."
Foreman Gu's eyes wandered between the two, but he still laughed it off and then made room.
Watching him walk into the restaurant, Shu Li said with a serious expression: "You ask Long Guo to stop him from staying in the room. You too, don't stay in a closed space."
"But……"
Shu Li interrupted her: "Don't worry!"
"I know the housekeeper won't let you stay together, but how about one in the living room and one in the game room? You open the door and make sure the other is in your sight. That's fine."
"What did you see? Is there any danger outside?" Le Yan frowned, worried about Shu Li.
"It's okay outside. I think nothing will happen before seven o'clock." Shu Li shrugged, trying to sound more relaxed: "Even if it does, it is much safer outside than this villa."
Le Yan: "..."
After saying this, Shu Li turned back again.
She walked around to where there were a lot of broken glass and took a look. The "naughty" doll appeared again on the window sill on the first floor.
Shu Li relaxed her eyebrows that had been furrowed for a long time and concentrated on making her props, no longer paying attention to the movements of the doll.
As the sky gets darker, lights of different colors light up one after another around the villa.
The sky was still bright at that time.
Lights hanging in the air also appeared around Shu Li, with patterns similar to the doll's shape on them.
Although, because Shuli's sight was not very good, she couldn't see the patterns on such a high lamp at all.
At 6:50 pm, Shu Li completed her magic trick. Because it was a one-time use, she had no chance of trial and error.
In the villa, the five-layer cake, snacks with different colors and shapes, a tower of wine glasses poured with three kinds of wine, etc. were also arranged.
Although there were not many people, there were still twenty or thirty people in attendance.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Boss Su and Le Qianjin were dressed in gorgeous suits and dresses. After being carefully dressed up, they appeared and arrived at Shu Li's magic performance venue surrounded by everyone. (End of chapter)
