Weird story about rules: I rely on magic to kill people

Chapter 22 Windsor Castle (21)

Xu Zhinian didn't dare to "poach" next to the earl's room. Anyway, the quarrel between the two was just about the ring.

It would be bad if the current countess heard the commotion outside and came out to see her and Balu.
.
She walked quickly in front, with Balu following closely behind.

The two of them walked up the stairs and returned to Xu Zhinian's room.

At this moment, the other three people were still studying countermeasures in Xu Zhinian's room.

Sidney was the first to observe the lock turning and immediately took a defensive stance.

Eliade saw his actions, turned his eyes and saw the turning door lock, and his expression immediately became serious.

Even Wen Tu became wary after seeing the changes in their expressions and movements.

The door was pushed open, and Xu Zhinian and Balu walked in one after the other.

When they looked up, they saw three nervous looking people, looking dumbfounded.

A false alarm!
"Don't be too funny, they're a little bit like everyone."

"Nonsense, without Sister Xu around, who wouldn't be afraid?"

"Also, if I enter the Kaidan Paradise and see strange NPCs, I will be scared too."

Seeing that it was Xu Zhinian and Balu, Sidney returned to normal: "Why are you back so soon?"

Eliade did the same and asked curiously: "Really? How long has it been since you met the count? Are there any new clues?"

Xu Zhinian sat on the edge of the bed. She took a greedy breath and answered slowly: "With the countess as an obstacle, how can I still chat with the count? To make a long story short, I came back as soon as I knew where the ring was. "

She paused, looked from Sidney on the far left to Wen Tu on the far right, and asked: "What about you? Why are you so nervous? Is there any clue about what's going on?"

"Who would send a message at midnight?" Wen Tu looked disdainful and spoke sourly.

Balu just doesn't like him now and insists on saying: "That's not necessarily true. Shameful things are usually done at night."

This is true, and Xu Zhinian also agrees.

She thought of the previous rules.

Perhaps the time period above the first rule is the time when the current countess contacted code name X.

Because of this, the rules were specifically written down to prevent them from violating them.

My thoughts turned around, it was a waste of time to think about that now.

Xu Zhinian waved her hand to signal everyone in the room to be quiet, and then told her what the count told her - where is the ring.

"The count said that the ring is in the darkroom in the innermost room of the corridor on the second floor. However, before going to the darkroom, we have to find the black cat first."

"Black cat?" Sidney was slightly surprised.

Xu Zhinian said: "Yes, the count said that the black cat will lead us to find the ring."

When this was said, except for Balu who was present, the other three people showed disbelief on their faces at first, and then looked at Xu Zhinian tentatively.

They saw the extremely certain look in her eyes before they believed that a cat could find such an important ring.

Eliade glanced at her, raised his hand and asked, "Then when will we find the black cat? Now?"

Everyone immediately looked at him, then followed his topic and looked at Xu Zhinian.

Xu Zhinian was very puzzled and shook his head: "No, we will talk about it tomorrow. Now go to bed first."

"Pfft, in Sister Xu's eyes: eating is the most important thing, sleeping is the second best!"

"Question Sister Xu, understand Sister Xu, and become Sister Xu"

"Sister Xu, are you going to rest? Good night, see you tomorrow!"

After saying this, Xu Zhinian stood up from the bed and pushed the four people present out of the door one by one.

While pushing, she said: "What time is it? Let's go back to our respective rooms and go to bed. Wake up early tomorrow and discuss these again."

When he pushed Balu, he walked out of the door very cooperatively, without Xu Zhinian having to put in much effort.

Before closing the door, Balu said to her: "Good night, Sister Xu."

"Ang, good night." When Xu Zhinian answered him, he didn't put any thought into it.

She had used magic too many times throughout the day, and now her physical strength was severely exhausted, and she had only one thought in her mind

——Fall down and go to sleep.

After washing briefly, she lifted the corner of the quilt.

After getting into the warm bed, he turned over lazily.Feeling sleepy, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up again the next day, the housekeeper came to her room and knocked on the door.

*
dong dong dong-

The housekeeper knocked on the door hurriedly and shouted: "Miss Longguo, please wake up!"

The sound was so loud that Xu Zhinian opened his eyes suddenly and sat up from the bed.

She didn't wake up naturally. She held back her breath and walked over to open the door sleepily.

The first moment she opened the door and saw the housekeeper's face, her anger reached its peak, and she shouted forcefully: "Knocking on the door so early, is there anything wrong?"

"Sister Xu, are you angry when you get up?"

"I feel like Sister Xu is angry when she wakes up. I can't be angry, I can't be angry, hahaha."

"Family members, I can already imagine what Sister Xu will do if the housekeeper says something wrong."

Facing the angry Xu Zhinian in front of her, the housekeeper didn't know what to say for a moment.

She took half a step back angrily, smiling apologetically: "That's it..."

"If you have anything to say, say it quickly, don't hesitate!" Xu Zhinian said coldly.

The housekeeper was so frightened that she hiccupped and hurriedly replied: "The countess said something was lost in the castle and everyone needs to gather in the lobby on the first floor. She wants to search..."

"What? Search?"

"Damn it, I suddenly understand what she said to the earl last night."

"Isn't there any other way? Just search the body directly. Don't you know exactly where the ring is?"

When Xu Zhinian heard this, he suddenly woke up and didn't even bother to get up and get angry.

She was somewhat glad that because she was tired last night, she didn't go looking for the black cat with everyone, nor did she go looking for the ring.

Otherwise, wouldn't the ring be easily taken away by the current countess during this morning's search?
She softened her expression and said to the housekeeper: "I understand, then you can lead the way."

The housekeeper continued to smile, extended her hand to make a "please" gesture, and led the way from the front.

The two walked through the stairs for about two or three minutes and arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the castle.

The lobby on the first floor of the castle was not particularly large. When Xu Zhinian followed the housekeeper down, it was already full of people.

She finally found the other four passers in the crowd, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze in next to them.

When Balu saw Xu Zhinian, he greeted him warmly: "Good morning! Sister Xu."

"Morning," Xu Zhinian responded coldly, and then changed the topic to the topic: "You all know that the countess will be searched soon?"

The four nodded.

"..."

She was about to continue talking to the other four people when the housekeeper suddenly made a noise.

The voice was loud: "The countess has arrived."

This posture is very similar to that of the imperial king in her original world, who always had to follow some complicated etiquette when he came to the scene.

Ding-dong--ding-dong--clang-clang-clang--

The familiar copper bell rang again, and the countess slowly walked down the stairs under the gaze of everyone.

Red magic surrounded her.She tilted her head and showed a sinister smile: "Everyone, good morning!"
