This woman is about fifty years old. Just looking at her from a distance makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Black skirt, black high heels, pale skin, and... bright red nail polish.
She is approximately two meters tall, thin and long.
The luxurious temperament on his body is accompanied by an inexplicable coldness.
It is worth mentioning that women have very long arms.
Even though she was nearly two meters tall, when her arms dropped, they were almost touching her knees.
With a stiff, almost invisible smile on her face, she nodded slightly to everyone, and then sat down in the master's seat without saying a word.
As she sat down, everyone also sat in their seats one after another.
About two or three minutes later, everyone saw the butler Neil arriving here pushing a cart.
The trolley is filled with a dazzling array of delicacies.
The steam is rising and the fragrance has permeated every corner of the room.
The butler put on a pair of white gloves in a very ceremonial manner, and then neatly placed the dishes on the trolley in front of everyone.
"Ma'am, please have dinner with everyone."
The butler said with a smile, then pushed the cart away.
After he left, the lady in black picked up the knife and fork and skillfully cut the steak on the plate.
As the knife gently scratched the tender surface of the steak, bright red liquid immediately spread on the snow-white plate.
This was also an almost entirely rare steak.
Seeing that the hostess took the lead, Ning Qiushui and others no longer hesitated.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely dull, no one spoke.
There was only the crisp sound of knives and forks colliding with plates. and the sound made when chewing meat.
Twenty minutes later, the hostess finished eating.
She was indeed a big eater and ate seven pieces of steak alone.
The average adult man cannot eat so much.
After finishing the meal, the hostess stood up, nodded slightly to everyone again, and then turned and left.
After everyone had finished eating, the butler skillfully cleared away the tableware.
"Please wait for me for a few minutes. I will take the things here to the kitchen and let the servants wash them. Then I will take you to the place where you will stay tonight."
After the butler Neil finished speaking to everyone with a smile, he pushed the dining cart and left.
Five minutes later, he returned to this place and led everyone towards the second floor of the castle.
When they arrived at the stairs, everyone suddenly heard a thunder above their heads——
Boom!
The thunder was so clear that everyone heard it.
But their faces showed unexpected surprise.
Before they entered the castle, they all observed the weather outside.
Anyone with a little common sense would know that the weather outside is unlikely to rain!
However, after the thunder, the sound of heavy rain soon came from outside.
Butler Neil, who was about to take them upstairs, changed slightly when he heard the sound of rain. He apologized to everyone:
"I'm so sorry. It's raining outside. According to Madam's request, the castle door must be closed when it rains."
"Please wait a moment."
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he took out the key from his chest and hurriedly walked down the stairs.
After he left, everyone standing on the stairs looked at each other, and they all saw the meaningful looks in each other's eyes.
The key that locks the door...can also open the door.
The key they were looking for in the main mission has appeared.
"Brother Qiushui, is that the key we are looking for?"
Jun Lu asked softly from Ning Qiushui's side.
Ning Qiushui nodded.
"right."
"I thought it would take a lot of effort to find this key, but I didn't expect that the key would appear shortly after entering this bloody door."
"However, this may not be a good thing. The key... I'm afraid it's hard to get."
Jun Luyuan nodded.
This was also his first time entering the Blood Gate. While he was curious, he was also extra vigilant.
Not long after, the housekeeper came back.
He continued to lead everyone upstairs.
Ning Qiushui stared at the path the housekeeper walked on the ground, frowning slightly.
There is water damage.
Why are there water stains?
Did the housekeeper go out just now?
Didn't he just close the door? What were he doing out there?
Ning Qiushui's eyes were slightly sharp, but he didn't show it. He followed the housekeeper to the second floor of the castle.
"The rooms here can only be locked from the inside, so there are no keys prepared. There are a total of 16 rooms prepared for you. You can allocate them yourself."
After a pause, Butler Neil said meaningfully:
"No more than two people can stay in a room."
"At 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, I will prepare breakfast for you in advance and put it on the table below. At ten o'clock, I will clear the tableware."
"Then... I wish you all a pleasant stay in the castle tonight."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that there is a room for the young master and his wife on the third floor of the castle. The lady doesn't like guests going there, so if there is nothing wrong, you'd better not go upstairs."
"Even if you go, don't go near the east corridor."
After the butler Neil finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Everyone looked at the 16 rooms in this corridor, numbered 201 to 216.
There are 8 on each side.
Ning Qiushui took Jun Luyuan into room 216, the innermost room.
The room was cleaned very clean and had a private bathroom.
Just near the window sill, there were some paper, pens for drawing, and a small unzipped toy.
The two checked the room a little.
Jun Luyuan came to the window sill, pinched the small toy, and put it back in place. His eyes fell on the paper and pen on the table.
"That's weird. Why are you preparing this for your guests? Is it for painting?"
When he was about to check the pen and paper, he heard Ning Qiushui suddenly say:
"Since you think it's strange, don't touch these things."
Jun Luyuan stopped when he was about to pick up the pen. He looked back and saw that Ning Qiushui had a serious look on his face, and nodded.
"good."
"In addition, the world behind the Blood Gate is generally more dangerous at night. The yin energy is very strong and anything may appear. If you hear something at night... remember to ignore it."
Ning Qiushui briefly introduced to Jun Luyuan some precautions about the Blood Sect.
The latter are all remembered in my heart.
Ning Qiushui also came to Jun Luyuan's side, looking through the transparent glass at the gloomy sky and heavy rain outside.
"This rain comes at a strange time."
he said.
Junlu said from afar:
"Indeed, it feels like... it was dropped just for us."
Through the hazy rain curtain, the two saw the church behind the manor.
It was pitch black.
Although it is a church, it always has a vaguely eerie feeling.
Even from a distance of several hundred meters, Ning Qiushui could vaguely feel the...evil nature revealed in that place.
