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

Chapter 23 Windsor Castle (22)

What a fake smile, what a hypocritical greeting.

Xu Zhinian stood in the crowd and watched her silently.She could feel the countess's sinister eyes looking at her at the same moment.

The countess walked to the center of the hall on high heels, and the bells on her ankles made a sound when the heels overlapped.

The housekeeper walked up to her side, nodded and bowed her head, laughed with her, and spoke to keep everyone quiet.

As the countess moved the index fingers of her hands from overlapping to separating, the environment where you were talking to each other actually became quiet.

Like a circus foreplay, the Countess' movements were exaggerated.

She said: "A very important thing has been lost in the castle. I have told you that you are either old workers of the castle or important guests. How can you steal something?"

"But," she said, pretending to be sad and squeezing out a few tears: "The count said that thing was too important and I had to find it. I can only offend everyone and come to search!"

"I would like to call the current Countess the Master of PUA"

"She is really good at talking. She poisoned the earl with her front foot, and arranged all the bad things on the earl with her back foot."

"I'm so angry. Sister Xu, please be more angry and destroy her as soon as possible!"

With her acting skills, Xu Zhinian admired the current countess from the bottom of her heart.

If there were Oscars for Ghost Story Land, she would have to be awarded the Best Acting Award.

When the scene was over, the Countess was no longer polite.

She turned around and told the housekeeper to take it seriously and perform a thorough body search.

The housekeeper got the order and began to search each person one by one.

There were many people in the hall, and by the time the housekeeper found Xu Zhinian and the other five of them, more than half an hour had passed.

The housekeeper was not very polite to the four people in Balu, and searched them mercilessly with her hands.

The four people in Balu, especially Wentu, had witnessed the housekeeper's strange behavior with their own eyes, and they cooperated with her when the housekeeper searched her body.

This led the housekeeper to think that Xu Zhinian would be easy to search.

But when the housekeeper actually walked up to Xu Zhinian and was about to stretch out her arm, she met Xu Zhinian's eyes.

He looked gentle and amiable, but in the eyes of the housekeeper, he became extremely fierce.

The memory of Xu Zhinian manipulating the beam to restrain her to the ground and the explosion of light causing her whole body to become blackened was constantly replayed in her mind, and the housekeeper couldn't help but shake her hands.

Behind her was the Countess' blazing gaze, and in front of her was Xu Zhinian, who frightened her.

The housekeeper looked a little confused.

……

The countess kept staring at Xu Zhinian. The housekeeper had an abnormal expression, and she could see it at a glance.

So, she came over and asked the housekeeper to go to someone else's place to continue the body search, and Xu Zhinian was responsible for it herself.

"Holy shit? The Countess is going to be responsible for searching Sister Xu herself?"

"Sister Xu is the focus of attention now, and the housekeeper is too afraid, so she can only do it."

"Let's see how Sister Xu responds?"

Xu Zhinian smiled slightly at the countess and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, countess. I have to let you search me in person."

The Countess responded with the same smile: "It's not hard."

She searched carefully up and down, left and right, several times, but could not find any trace of the ring.

Feeling a little depressed, I stood back a few steps angrily.

Soon, the housekeeper also completed the body search.She walked to the countess and shook her head helplessly: "Madam, nothing was found."

"No?" The countess was surprised at first, but then suddenly remembered her own personality, and quickly changed her tone: "I'm just saying, you are either old people who have been working for a long time, or you are distinguished guests, who would steal things."

"The count must have forgotten where to put it. I will talk to him when I get back later."

Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, and then burst out laughing again.

The Countess had not found the ring and was naturally furious.After giving the housekeeper a vicious look, she left the hall on the first floor without looking back.

After she left, the housekeeper said to everyone: "Thank you for your cooperation, everyone can leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall became buzzing and noisy again.

Xu Zhinian and the other five stepped aside for a moment, waiting for the others in the hall to leave first.

A large number of people moved towards the door of the castle hall, and it quickly became crowded.

Among the crowd, Xu Zhinian saw an old acquaintance - the gardener and his "daughter".

It was fate that we met. Xu Zhinian walked up to say hello.

The gardener was surprised: "Miss Long Guo, are you again?"

"Yes, it's me again," Xu Zhinian responded with a smile. She turned to look at the little girl protecting her behind the gardener, but couldn't help but ask again: "Is she really your daughter?"

The gardener was stunned for a moment, and then asked angrily: "If she's not my daughter, could she be your daughter?"

Xu Zhinian's face suddenly looked embarrassed.

She had known that the gardener would not admit it easily, so she could only watch them leave with a smile on her face.

As for when to make the gardener admit it, there is no rush. When she goes to the darkroom again, Countess Guan Yuan can just ask for something to prove it.

After several people had breakfast on the basement floor, they returned to Xu Zhinian's room on the third floor.

Time was running out for the dungeon, so Xu Zhinian kept the story short: "We only have three tasks today. One is to find the black cat, the other is to find the key, and the third is to find out who X is."

The remaining four people all understand the truth. They also know how to deal with the first two things, but the third thing...

Sidney frowned and stared at Xu Zhinian with lowered eyes: "How can we find out who X is?"

Wen Tu also agreed: "Yes, you can only talk, can you come up with something that can actually be done?"

Balu just couldn't stand him, especially when Wentu was still opposing Xu Zhinian, and Balu was even more unhappy.

He and Wen Tu quarreled: "You can do it, but you do it. If you don't have other abilities, you will tell others. If you have the ability, you can say something useful!"

Wentu gritted his teeth: "You..."

"The boy is teachable, the warrior of Luochuan Kingdom!"

"Although I couldn't stand him before, seeing that he is Sister Xu and Du Wei now, I support him."

"How come this passer of Furong Kingdom has no progress? As soon as he enters the Monster Paradise, he mocks this person and that person."

"Calm down! How can a small country with civilization know what atmosphere is?"

"Stop arguing!" Xu Zhinian stared at Balu and Wentu who were talking to each other, and yelled fiercely.

"If you have time to make a noise here, I've already thought of a way."

……

Everyone in the room was silent, and it suddenly became quiet.

Wentu also knew that he was being unreasonable, and muttered in a low voice: "Then you go find who the codename is X? Let's go find the black cat and the key."

"Anyway, the steps to find the black cat and the key are clear and obvious."

Xu Zhinian hesitated and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure," Wen Tu continued to talk without realizing the danger of the matter: "How do you know how to complete the steps, and leave such an easy job to you? Let us find the code name X without any clue? "

""Of course"

"It's true, brother, he won't shed tears until he sees the coffin!"

"Every line is like a mountain, I wish him peace."

Seeing him like this, Xu Zhinian didn't refute again: "Okay, then I'll find out who the codename X is."

She paused and then said: "Then let's group up. Who wants to follow me to find the code name
