Chapter 400

~8 min read 1,436 words

Everyone's attention was focused on this last rule.

People cannot hurt people, ghosts can kill people.

"Let's test it!"

Lin Ye suggested, his gaze turned a circle and placed it on 'Passerby',

"Cough, cough, cough, don't look for me,"

He immediately refused.

"I don't have a tendency to be abused."

"Who is willing?"

But no one responded.

Lin Ye's tone was regretful. "Since everyone is unwilling, I'll do it!"

He opened his hands and placed them on the table. "Actually, the injured are safer, and the person who takes action has to bear the risk of being backlashed by the rules."

This made Passerby, who was just about to open his mouth to express his willingness to help, swallow his thoughts.

The huge living room lasted for five seconds of silence, and no one spoke.

Lin Ye withdrew his hands and shrugged. "The guess about the last rule is that the injuries of people hurting people will be restored, and the other is to punish the person who inflicts the injury, thereby prohibiting the act of 'hurting'."

"I'll do it!"

Asuna pursed her lips and thought for a while, and stretched her fair hand in front of Lin Ye. She sat next to Lin Ye.

She looked away, a bit nervous. Although she was already an old player, she was still afraid of pain.

But compared to this little pain, she felt that it was more important to figure out the form of the rules as soon as possible.

"Can..."

Lin Ye didn't hesitate, took out a dagger, and after simple disinfection, cut a knife on the girl's hand lightly.

The wound appeared, blood overflowed, but before the red liquid had time to flow out, the wound had completely healed.

At this moment,

Everyone realized the form of this rule.

'Thud, thud, thud...'

There was a knock on the living room door.

'Click...' A slight sound of opening the door sounded, and the silver-haired maid appeared at the main entrance. She bent over slightly and pushed open the living room door.

When the main door was fully opened,

A beautiful girl appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Her beautiful golden long hair was fluttering, a fair and exquisite face was beautiful and moving, and under the black-red Lolita dress, the skin was snow-white, showing her noble and elegant temperament.

The golden-haired girl looked at everyone, revealing a smile, she lifted the skirt, bowed slightly, and greeted everyone with a smile,

"Dear guests, good afternoon, I am Aichi Carter, everyone can call me Aichi, welcome guests from afar."

She expressed her welcome again. "But it is a pity that my father has not returned temporarily after going out. If my father returns, I will inform the guests immediately."

"For the next three days, I will replace my father to entertain the guests, to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Her smile was very sunny, and her words were also very cheerful, just like the spring sun, shining into the heart.

At least at this moment,

She didn't give people a ghostly feeling.

But Lin Ye frowned slightly. 'Grandfather' refers to the 'father' in Aichi's mouth. Does Aichi proactively mentioning 'grandfather' not count as violating the rules?

Lin Ye also captured Passerby's reaction, and the two of them also exchanged glances.

"Thank you for the hospitality of Miss Carter, I believe we will definitely spend a wonderful time here."

"Haha, it is my greatest honor that the guests can think so."

The golden-haired young lady Aichi looked at the maid beside her, her red lips moved slightly. "Lisa, if the guests have any needs, you must try your best to satisfy them, and you must not be negligent to the distinguished guests,"

"Please rest assured, young lady, I will definitely make the guests have fun and return."

"Mm."

She looked at everyone again. "Dear guests, if you have any needs, you can inform Lisa, Lisa will try her best to satisfy everyone,"

"Okay."

"Lisa, I'll trouble you next, dear guests, I will leave temporarily."

The golden-haired young lady bowed with a smile and left, and her tall figure quickly disappeared at the end of the living room door.

"Lisa, is the relationship between Miss Carter and her father bad?"

"Eh, guest, why did you suddenly ask this?"

The silver-haired maid looked at Lin Ye in surprise,

"Generally, if the relationship between father and daughter is good, they will call him 'Dad' in front of guests. If it is a traditional big family, then in front of outsiders, they will often respectfully call him 'Father'."

And now Aichi Carter calls him 'Father', which has no respectful title, does not conform to the performance of this big family, and does not have the intimacy of the title 'Dad',

So it is completely reasonable to judge that there is a conflict between father and daughter and the relationship is bad.

Of course,

The biggest basis for judgment comes from the 'rule reminder'. But this is not suitable as a reason to explain to the maid.

"Guest, you know so much, there was indeed some unpleasantness between the grandfather and the young lady, this was still..."

Suddenly thinking of something, the silver-haired maid closed her mouth and didn't continue to speak.

"As guests invited by Grandfather Carter, maybe we can contribute to easing the relationship between Miss Carter and Grandfather Carter."

"Thank you for the guest's kindness, but this matter will not trouble the distinguished guests, and I am just a servant, and it is not suitable to participate in the affairs between the young lady and the grandfather."

She politely declined,

but she let Lin Ye obtain some more information.

"Guests, we currently have three vacant guest rooms in the villa. Please discuss it among the six of you; each room can accommodate a maximum of two people. Please note that I will bring the keys to you later."

She bowed once more, preparing to leave.

"Excuse me, I wonder if there are any other taboos here—for instance, what actions or places might cause Miss Carter displeasure? As guests, we do not wish to upset the owner of the villa."

Lisa nodded in sudden realization. "Guests, please do not approach the basement. The young lady lives on the fourth floor; please do not go to the fourth floor to avoid causing the young lady displeasure."

"Thank you. Also, there is one more thing. If I were to accidentally serve too much food and not finish it, would Lisa get angry or dislike me?"

At this moment,

everyone looked at the silver-haired maid, waiting for her answer.

But contrary to everyone's expectations, the silver-haired maid instead showed a puzzled expression, then put on a faint smile. "Guest, you are joking. I am a maid; how could I get angry at you, a guest? Or dislike you? However, wasting food is a bad habit, so Lisa still hopes that guests will serve only as much as they can eat, so that food waste does not occur."

"Thank you, I understand. I will certainly urge them not to waste food."

"Thank you. Does the guest have any other matters? If not, I will go and prepare tea and snacks first."

"Um, I..."

After receiving Lin Ye's consent, the career woman spoke up, "I need a pair of shoes, and I would also like to change my clothes."

"No problem. The villa has spare clothes and shoes. Respected miss, please come with me."

But the career woman didn't dare.

How could she dare to follow a maid of unknown nature alone away from the reception hall?

"I'll go with you!"

Leng Shuang spoke up, "As for the rest, the room assignments for tonight, we will discuss them when we return."

Soon,

Leng Shuang and the other woman followed the maid out of the reception hall, and the reception hall fell quiet.

"Brother Ling, you nearly scared me to death just now."

Passerby said with a chuckle, "You've got real guts, daring to ask directly like that."

"Asking is always better than testing it by doing it directly."

"So, what is your conclusion?"

"The possibility of her being human is relatively high, but I cannot rule out that she is an Eerie with a highly clear and self-aware logic."

Upon hearing this, Asuna made a guess, "Do you mean that if we violate the rules, she is very likely to transform into an Eerie?"

"That is a possibility. However, I am more curious about what reaction this maid would have if Miss Carter were to engage in the act of wasting food?"

The group was stunned.
