Not much different from what everyone expected, the lady in black chased her down from the third floor without the help of the housekeeper!
When the sickle it dragged across the ground, it made a scalp-numbing friction sound!
Madam chased downstairs step by step, but when it reached the second floor, it did not chase directly towards the people on the first floor. Instead, it turned around and dragged the sickle towards the second floor where they lived!
When everyone on the first floor saw this scene, they silently prayed for the thin man for a few seconds.
"What do we do now?"
"Didn't you escape the pursuit of the lady in black yesterday? How did you do it?"
There was an indescribable panic in Wang Xiao's tone, and he kept urging Ning Qiushui and the others.
"Why don't you talk anymore?"
"Speak quickly!"
"It was you who asked us to follow us to the third floor. Now if something goes wrong, you have to come up with a solution!"
It is difficult for people to remain calm when facing death.
Some people may have experienced the blood gate several times, causing their psychological quality to become stronger than normal people.
But when it comes to life and death, they will still panic and panic like ordinary people.
Wang Xiao is such a person.
Faced with her urging, Ning Qiushui shook her head.
"The reason Madam gave up chasing us yesterday was because the housekeeper stepped in and stopped her in time."
"At that time, the housekeeper said to the wife, 'It is prayer time in the church.' I don't know whether it was the housekeeper who asked the wife to stop, or this sentence that made the wife stop."
Since the lady in black went to the second floor to look for the thin man, the seven people on the first floor had relatively sufficient time to discuss the predicament at hand.
However, most of them were also anxious in their hearts, and the strong sense of oppression kept stimulating their nerves.
They know that as soon as the guy on the second floor dies, the next person Madam will kill... is them!
Every minute and every second now is very precious to them!
"Then let's separate first and find the housekeeper on the first floor. It should be hidden somewhere on the first floor."
Wen Qingya suggested.
At this time, it is safer to separate.
Because the only one who wants to hunt them now is Madam.
If all the targets are concentrated together, everyone will face greater danger.
"Without further delay, let's act quickly!"
Although they didn't know if they could find the butler in the castle, at this moment, it seemed that this was the only way.
Jun Luyuan followed Ning Qiushui. They had not gone far when a familiar voice came from behind:
"Brother Qiushui, wait!"
The two looked back and saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao and Liao Jian.
"Why are you here?"
"Didn't you tell me to go find the housekeeper?"
Arriving in front of Ning Qiushui, Su Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes angrily:
"You're looking for shit, why are you looking for the butler?"
"Wen Qingya's words were just to quench her thirst... There were so many people on the first floor yesterday but they couldn't find the housekeeper. In the end, the housekeeper showed up on his own."
"This is enough to show that when the housekeeper doesn't want to show up, we can't find him no matter how hard we look."
Ning Qiushui looked at Su Xiaoxiao and felt that this female...pretending to be a boss had a pretty good mind.
"Since you're not going to find the housekeeper, you should find a place to hide. Why are you looking for us?"
Su Xiaoxiao's big bright eyes rolled slightly, she held Ning Qiushui's sleeve and shook it, and her voice was so loud that it made people's hair grow:
"Brother Qiushui, you are so powerful, just lead us..."
Ning Qiushui was speechless.
If it weren't for Liao Jian's revelation, no one would have thought that the petite beauty in front of them would be a man.
After thinking for a moment, Ning Qiushui said:
"Find a place to hide first and check the situation."
"I have a method that might work, but it's not a last resort..."
Ning Qiushui did not refuse Su Xiaoxiao and Liao Jian's joining.
These two are actually pretty good.
Liao Jian may be a bit naive, but fortunately he has no bad intentions and is more obedient.
When the two of them saw what Ning Qiushui said, they felt secretly happy.
After observing the past two days, Su Xiaoxiao concluded that Ning Qiushui is definitely a big boss!
And he is not a vicious-hearted person.
With such thighs, the chance of survival is much higher than if they were running around on the first floor, a blind cat trying to kill a mouse!
The four of them arrived at a servant's room on the east side of the first floor. After Ning Qiushui locked the door, she said to the three of them:
"If nothing else happens...the butler shouldn't show up again today."
The three of them were startled.
Jun Luyuan frowned and said:
"Why do you say that, Brother Qiushui?"
Ning Qiushui touched her chin.
"Because today I told the housekeeper where the little master is hiding, and he should go find the little master now."
"If we continue to stay in this castle... I'm afraid many people will die today!"
Generally speaking, there are certain restrictions on the killing of ghosts behind the Blood Gate.
It is unlikely that Madam will kill all the rest of them today.
But killing three or five should be no problem.
No one wants to bet whether he will be one of the three or five people who die.
"What should we do?"
Ning Qiushui said two words that made the three people's hearts skip a beat:
"Into the picture."
"ah?"
"The little master fled to the painting to avoid the butler, so can we."
"Can……"
Liao Jian frowned and said hesitantly:
"Isn't that a dead end? The rules have been clearly stated..."
Su Xiaoxiao on the side seemed to understand Ning Qiushui's intention.
"No... Brother Qiu Shui's idea should be feasible!"
"Under normal circumstances, we really can't enter the painting, because the little master is just waiting in the painting. As many as we enter will die..."
"But the situation is different now. There is a high probability that the butler is also in the painting!"
"I think the 'monster' that the little master wanted to hide from before was the butler. Now that the butler is in the picture, the little master will definitely hide and not dare to attack us easily!"
When Liao Jian heard this, his eyes widened:
"What? The butler wants to kill the young master, why?"
Su Xiaoxiao shrugged, saying that this was just his guess.
"There are only three people in the castle. It can't be that the lady wants to kill him, right?"
After saying that, he turned his attention to Ning Qiushui.
The latter nodded and added:
"My guess is pretty much the same as Xiao Xiao's. The person who hunted the young master of the castle before... must have been the housekeeper."
"On the seventh painting in the corner of the corridor on the first floor, there is a pair of dark arms and a pair of pale hands. If you think about it carefully, when the housekeeper usually delivers meals to us, is he wearing a dark suit and wearing a hat? A pair of clean white gloves?”
At Ning Qiushui's prompt, Liao Jianjian's body shook violently!
"Oh shit, Brother Qiu Shui, when you say that...it seems true!"
"It's very similar!"
"...It can't be that the housekeeper really wants to kill the young master. Why would he do that?"
pS: There are two more updates, before 9 o'clock.
