Chapter 416

~7 min read 1,247 words

a golden-haired young lady's figure was standing. Her bright eyes were looking out, and the field of vision was precisely Lin Ye and the others walking in the courtyard.

Suddenly, she blinked, saw a man in the courtyard smiling at her and waving to greet her. She nodded slightly and cast her gaze toward the beautiful scenery in the distance.

……

The silver-haired maid Lisa was cleaning. The damp mop dragged across the floor, pulling out a wet trail.

The career woman Linlin arrived.

She thought about it and proactively stepped forward. "Lisa, I'll come to help you too!"

"Eh! No, no, no, how can there be a reason for a guest to help! Absolutely not."

The maid refused in one breath.

Leng Shuang was watching from not far away, vigilant.

"It's okay, I've always been taken care of by you, I just want to do some repayment."

"No, taking good care of all honored guests is the maid's duty, it doesn't need repayment."

"So that's how it is."

She smiled and inquired again. "Does the maid's duty include one thing?"

"Mm? What thing?"

"Serving in bed."

"Eh, eh, eh, eh!"

Lisa exclaimed. "This, this, this... this isn't! Where, where is there serving in bed? We... I am... a regular maid, not that kind of maid who serves in bed."

The silver-haired girl blushed and explained hurriedly. "If you weren't a girl, I would have reported you for harassing me."

"Haha, my friend asked me to ask."

"Eh!"

"Who let our maid Lisa be so beautiful, making my friend have thoughts."

"No, even if it's an honored guest invited by the Master, it won't do."

"Then who is okay?"

"No one is okay," the maid said righteously with puffed cheeks.

"Haha, I will tell them, let them not have fantasies, hahaha."

She smiled and continued to inquire. "By the way, I still don't know the hostess of this villa!"

"Hostess? The hostess is Ms. Aiki, what's wrong?"

"I'm referring to Ms. Aiki's mother, the Master's wife, the lady."

"Ah!"

Lisa revealed a sudden realization. Soon, she revealed a low mood. "Missing, suddenly disappeared. We went to look, but... didn't find her."

"Did she disappear after the Master left the villa, or before he left?"

"Left..."

Lisa's words stopped abruptly. "Sorry, I... don't remember clearly. If the guest wants to know, you can ask the young lady, the young lady should know."

"Mm."

The career woman helped, and also inquired about several other questions in passing.

Finally, after the floor on the first floor was dragged clean, the career woman Linlin took her leave.

Leng Shuang didn't leave immediately, but observed in the dark until she was sure the maid didn't have any abnormal changes, then she left.

The silver-haired maid hummed a song and continued her cleaning.

The key information brought back by the career woman was two points: the disappearance of the villa's hostess, the lady, and the maid's own unclear memory, which made one have to suspect that her memory had problems.

The possibility of the silver-haired maid being an Eerie increased further.

"We need to explore the fourth floor to obtain more useful information."

Lin Ye said.

Everyone knew the fourth floor was important, had more clues, and the key to entering the basement was undoubtedly on the fourth floor, but how to safely go to the fourth floor.

"That golden-haired young lady has always been staying on the fourth floor."

Asuna said.

"It's hard to find a time when she isn't on the fourth floor."

Once the golden-haired young lady discovered a player on the fourth floor, the ending of this exposed player definitely wouldn't be good.

The biggest possibility was the same result as the Gao Zhongsheng who disappeared.

"Find a reason to trick her down. If you can't trick her, then..." Lin Ye pointed to the forest. "Yesterday evening, Ms. Leng and you, little brother, met her outside the villa, right?"

"She won't necessarily come out this evening."

"Try it. Tonight will definitely be more fierce and dangerous than last night. We need more clues and information."

Actually,

whether it's tricking the golden-haired young lady to leave the fourth floor and come down, or forcing the golden-haired young lady to appear through the method of heading to the forest, the problem isn't very big. At most, it's just failure.

The key to the problem lies in who explores the fourth floor.

Everyone knows the risk of exploring the fourth floor.

If not careful, the result is death.

"Since it's a suggestion I proposed, I'll execute it! You are responsible for luring the golden-haired young lady down and entangling the maid to avoid the maid going to the fourth floor."

Asuna was startled, not expecting Lin Ye to be willing to proactively take on this responsibility.

"I'll leave my safety to everyone."

This trust made Asuna feel a heavy responsibility.

"I will, please rest assured."

"Brother Ling, don't worry, we will definitely entangle those two and not let them go to the fourth floor. Leave it to us!"

The Passerby also guaranteed, and Leng Shuang also proactively made a promise.

They knew that if they were negligent here, or even if someone deliberately guided the golden-haired young lady or the maid to the fourth floor, it was completely possible to take the opportunity to pit Lin Ye to death.

To a certain extent,

this was also a test of human nature.

Leng Shuang felt it necessary to remind Lin Ye. She felt that a player with such upright character and high trust in other players like Lin Ye was too rare. She didn't want Lin Ye to suffer betrayal and death because he happened to trust a bad player.

The personnel distribution arrangement was determined quickly.

Asuna and the Passerby were responsible for the maid,

and Leng Shuang and the career woman were responsible for the golden-haired young lady.

Four-thirty in the afternoon,

the action started.

Asuna and the Passerby first found the maid and proactively indicated to the maid that they would help with the processing of ingredients for tonight's dinner.

"This, this is so embarrassing. Ms. Asuna already helped me once yesterday."

"I like preparing dishes and also want to learn from Lisa how to make delicious dishes, so I can make them for my mom and dad in the future."

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

Lisa no longer doubted Asuna, and the Passerby also gave an explanation. "I didn't eat enough last night, I'm here to help today, and by the way, see what delicious dishes there are tonight."

"Guest, it will definitely satisfy you."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it."

On the other side,

Leng Shuang and the career woman walked out of the villa and walked toward the direction of the forest, and finally let the career woman head to the forest alone, but the golden-haired young lady never appeared.

Leng Shuang realized the plan failed. The golden-haired young lady wouldn't appear to stop them from heading to the forest every time.

"Let's go back."

Leng Shuang and the other returned to the villa at the fastest speed.

"Lisa, we seemed to have seen Master Carter outside the villa just now."

Leng Shuang's sentence made Lisa surprised, and the movement in her hand also stopped.

"You, you... you wouldn't have seen wrong, right?"

She seemed a bit disbelieving.

"I, I also saw it," the career woman said with a frown of hesitation. "It should be him."
