Returning from the abyss

Chapter 792
Lu Ning still used the so-called invisibility ability as a cover, but it was enough to make Michael keep exclaiming.Perhaps his voice was a little too loud, the door of Haru-Mochizuki's room in the corridor was opened very roughly, and a woman with red hair, wearing a leather jacket and jeans poked her head out angrily and looked at Outside.

"What are you yelling at?"

"I'm sorry ma'am, I apologize for accidentally making too much noise," Michael said hastily.But the woman gave him a disgusted look: "Smokers don't get too close to me! Also! Don't smoke in the corridor! The disgusting smell is everywhere in the corridor!"

Michael hastily extinguished his pipe, and before he could finish, the woman slammed the door shut.

"What a irascible lady." He whispered to Lu Ning.

"But it's really not suitable for smoking indoors, sir."

Michael smiled wryly.

Then, Lu Ning bid farewell to Michael and walked to the third floor.The third floor is where the owner lives. Apart from the bedroom, the study and activity room are all on this floor. Lu Ning noticed that there is even a laboratory, which is not a modern laboratory, but very classical. The European-style home laboratory can be used to configure some commonly used drugs or small experiments.But even so, it can be regarded as a very uncommon display.

In a slightly smaller tea room, Lu Ning saw a man in a black shirt sitting there, unfolding a newspaper, and a pot of tea on the table.The man was about 40 years old, with a red face. Judging from the marks on his fingers, he should have used scalpels and other items frequently, and he was probably a surgeon or something.

"Hello." This time it was the man who noticed Lu Ning first, and raised his head to greet her.

"Hello."

"This is a tea room, but it's also a public area, so don't worry about me," the man said.

"Excuse me, are you a resident on the third floor?" Lu Ning asked.

"Yes, I prefer a quieter place. The walls between the rooms on the third floor are thicker, and the sound insulation effect is better. I think it won't be noisy when there are more guests in the future." The man replied casually, and his eyes had returned to the newspaper superior.

Lu Ning heard the overtones, and instead of disturbing him, she left and walked around the rest of the places.

Although this Hongmei Pavilion fully meets the necessary conditions for various murder cases, the people in it are all superpowers, and conventional killing methods are probably not suitable for these people at all, such as killing people with superpowers in secret rooms It can be done easily.Of course, the most important thing is the ball. The mission of the distribution center has clearly shown that the Red Snow Ball is highly dangerous, but Lu Ning doesn't know where the danger comes from.

Participate in the Red Snow Ball and survive the dance.

Is anyone going to sabotage this dance?Or is there a more bizarre event that will happen, and what does this have to do with the subsequent scene changes?
At this time, she heard some noise downstairs, followed by Qu Langyue's faint voice, as if another guest had arrived.She walked downstairs and "just happened" to run into two people at the top of the stairs on the second floor.

The guest this time is a young man with a submissive expression. His nervousness can be seen from his face. His clothes also seem to have just been purchased. He expected a suit that didn't fit well for this occasion. His suitcase was caught Qu Langyue held it, with many stickers on it.

"Miss Lu Ning, hello, what can I do?" Qu Langyue stopped to say hello.

"It's nothing, just come out and get acquainted with this place. New customers?"

"Yes, this is Mr. Han Xuezhi. Mr. Han, this is Miss Lu Ning, who is also the guest invited this time."

"Hello, hello..." The young man named Han Xuezhi greeted Lu Ning awkwardly. At this time, Lu Ning was on the stairs and he was a little below the stairs, but Han Xuezhi probably didn't realize that there was something wrong with this. what is the problem.

"Hello. Qu Langyue, don't worry about me, I'm just walking around. If you have any requests, I will find you."

"Yes." Qu Langyue bowed slightly again, and then led Han Xuezhi to choose a house, while Lu Ning went down to the first floor.

The first floor is a large activity area, and all the rooms are for servants. The servant's room, kitchen, preparation room, laundry room, etc. are all on this floor.Here, Lu Ning also saw that Jin Xiuqing, she was ironing the clothes taken out of the laundry room, she was a capable woman who was nearly 40 years old.

The servant's bedroom is locked. It seems that the servant's privacy is also protected here, but there are only three rooms, and I don't know how they are allocated.

Continuing from the side of the servant's bedroom to the rear, through a short corridor, there is a door leading to the conservatory behind.Lu Ning opened the door, and a warmer atmosphere than inside the mansion came in from the outside. The greenhouse was very large, with four rows of different flowers and plants planted inside.A gardener is squatting in front of a flower pot and shoveling loose soil into it.The clothes on his body were different from those of the servants, they were gardener's clothes, the only thing they had in common was a brooch in the shape of a plum blossom on his chest.

"Ah, hello, guest." The gardener stood up, and Lu Ning realized that this man was nearly two meters tall, with a very strong figure, and a simple and honest smile on his face in Chinese characters.

"You should be the gardener Jiang Ai." Lu Ning said in a positive tone.

"It's me. If the guests want to visit the greenhouse, please feel free to do so. I can also accompany you to explain. If you like any kind of flower here, it can be delivered to your room tomorrow."

"Well, I just took a look around, you can do your work." Lu Ning nodded to him, Jiang Ai responded, and continued to squat down to shovel the soil.

There is nothing special on this side. Going back the same way, Lu Ning walked to the other side. Behind is a huge restaurant, and next to the restaurant is the only modern kitchen in this mansion.A short-haired man was busy in the kitchen at this time, and some aromas wafted from the oven and oven.

Chef Wei Haonan is a very polite person. It can be seen that he loves food. After Lu Ning went in to talk to him, he also received a pudding from him. Good looking.

Excellent lineup of servants, top-notch mansion, without advance warning, it will not make people feel that something terrible is about to happen here.

Lu Ning found Feng Yuanxi, the manager.

"Miss Lu Ning, what are your orders?"

"Mr. Manager, I think since Qu Langyue wrote the invitation, you must also be an insider?"

"Indeed, we are very familiar with the process of preparing for the entire dance."

"Then let me get straight to the point. I want to know, are your seven servants superpowers? What kind of superpowers do they have?" Lu Ning asked directly.

Feng Yuanxi froze for a moment.

"Your master didn't hide the matter of superpowers from you. Maybe you are ordinary people, but let ordinary people serve us... If there is any trouble, how can you deal with it? Especially now that the master has not come. Director Feng , I hope to be able to better understand where I have come to, and I want to eliminate those factors that make me uneasy."

"That's it, it doesn't matter, our ability can also be explained to you. My ability is memory, and everything I have seen within ten days can be recalled in detail. Chef Mr. Wei's ability is strange food, He can eat anything, including steel and glass, and will not be harmed by toxins and radiation. Mr. Jiang, the gardener, can identify the composition of soil and rocks through the touch of his fingers. Ms. Jin's ability is to block a door with an entrance and exit. Conceptual things, things like doors and windows, but only one can be blocked at a time. As for the three servants, Tian Xiao can make the body glow, which can be seen very clearly at night; Qu Langyue can copy an item, which seems to have Size restrictions; Ye Yunmei is something that can stick to skin contact, which allows her to move on the wall like a gecko, but she usually does not make such a faux pas."

"Director Feng seems to have a detailed understanding of the abilities of these servants," Lu Ning said.

"Even if our abilities are not a big deal, people with superpowers will never tell others everything about themselves. I just know the abilities of people who are more familiar with me. If you really want to ask, you can ask me Even if you are rejected, they will not be disrespectful to you." Feng Yuanxi saluted, "Our ability is not powerful, so we are just living an ordinary life, and the master asked us to receive you, just because We are the same kind of people, so it will not cause any inconvenience."

"Thank you for your information, Director Feng."

"It's okay, this is what we should do. Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Lu Ning shook her head and told the manager to leave.If Feng Yuanxi's explanation of the abilities of these people is correct, these people were indeed recruited because their abilities were not lethal.But is it really harmless?Maybe there is a lack of frontal combat, but these abilities sound like there is quite a lot of room for manipulation.

Afterwards, she just wandered around the room, and soon it was almost evening, and Qu Langyue notified the tenants one by one to go downstairs for dinner.Lu Ning was the first to arrive at the restaurant because she had been wandering around in the mansion.

A white tablecloth is laid on the long dining table, and a row of bouquets that should be freshly picked from the greenhouse are placed on the dining table, adorning the interior with floral fragrance.The seats in the two rows have been placed, but the owner's seat is empty, probably because the current owner of the mansion has not arrived yet.

Lu Ning chose a seat and sat down, and soon the rest of the guests came in.When Michael entered the door, he greeted Lu Ning happily, followed by the man who was probably a surgeon.The red-haired woman was in the third place. She was dressed in casual clothes and her steps were compact, as if she didn't want to walk with Han Xuezhi behind.And the person who came last was of course the person who was in Xia-Mochizuki's room at the beginning. She was a slightly older woman dressed as a noble lady. She had heavy makeup on her face. After entering the room, she swept around the room. His eyes lit up slightly when he saw the surgeon.

After the guests arrived, Ye Yunmei and Qu Langyue also walked in pushing the dining car.Dinner is a Western-style meal. After a light soup, there are appetizers, main courses, and desserts in the approximate order. There are seven or eight dishes in total.Lu Ning didn't study Western food, and obviously no one asked for dining etiquette at the table. Everyone ate their own food, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Of course, the dishes were all delicious. Lu Ning didn't like western food very much, but Wei Haonan's cooking skills far exceeded expectations, and there was really no dish that particularly disgusted her.

After the last dish of vanilla ice cream and cranberry pancakes was served, Qu Langyue also explained that the last dish had been served.Only then did the lady show a smile: "Say hello to Chef Wei for me, today's meal is still amazing."

"I will bring it for you." Qu Langyue bowed lightly.

"Everyone, two newcomers arrived today, shall we welcome you a little?" Michael said.

"The master here has invited twenty superpowers. If people come every day, I don't know how long our welcome ceremony will last." The surgeon said coldly, "And, that maid, I ask you one question."

"Please speak." Qu Langyue said.

"Today we ate western food, which was different from yesterday's meal. It can be seen that your host knows this, and the mansion is actually a western-style building. I'm curious, it's just after Christmas, why there is no food here A special atmosphere?"

"This... the master didn't let us celebrate any festivals here." Qu Langyue said, "If you need, we can specially prepare..."

"No, I'm just asking. Because I'm really curious about the identity of the person who invited us. I know many well-known superpowers in China. In the circle, I have never heard of a person who is so elusive but hospitable. What surprised me even more is that I don't know any of the people who have arrived here in the past two days, even if these people are superpowers, there are differences between us, do you understand?" said the surgeon.

"We have no right to question the master's decision, Mr. Zhou. Your invitation letter comes from the master's dictation, and I will write it in writing and send it out. But I don't know the reason why the master invited you. As a servant, what I can do I just try my best to treat every guest well, so as not to embarrass the host, that's all." Qu Langyue said neither humble nor overbearing.

"You are a good servant." The surgeon nodded slightly, "When I see your master, I will ask him if he would like to let you come with me."

"This is your freedom." Qu Langyue chuckled.

"Oh...you..." Michael said quickly, "I just finished eating, so don't make too sharp a conflict. Why don't we talk about some light topics? This little brother?"

"Ah?" Han Xuezhi, who had been eating sullenly and unable to blend into the atmosphere, raised his head blankly.
