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

Chapter 7 Windsor Castle (6)

Xu Zhinian was lying on the bed, arching from left to right while thinking about the book.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she sat up from the bed.

The title of the book "She's Not Her" is so familiar. Isn't it similar to this sentence written on the letter she just found in the deepest room in the corridor on the second floor?
In order to verify his conjecture, Xu Zhinian took out the folded letter from his coat pocket.

Sure enough, just as she thought, the content of the letter was almost exactly the same as the title of the book that the Earl pointed at just now.

"She's not her" versus "She's not real".

The most urgent task is to find out who that "she" refers to.

The melodious bell came from outside the door, and the sound of metal collision rang a full 12 times.

Soon, the housekeeper walked to Xu Zhinian's door, stretched out her hand and knocked on the door: "Miss Long Guo, it's lunch time, please come to the restaurant."

Xu Zhinian responded from inside the room: "Okay."

"Pfft, what should I say about our sister Xu?"

"Typically doing business and not forgetting to eat."

"I feel like this time, I have to meet the passers from Luochuan Country and Furong Country again. I'm annoying them to death."

"Don't panic, they may be as scared as they were in the morning and don't dare to go, hahahaha."

When Xu Zhinian opened the door, the housekeeper had long disappeared.

It seemed like she was going to call someone else, but it didn't matter, she knew the way and could go to the restaurant by herself.

While walking down the stairs to the basement level, Xu Zhinian was still thinking about the relationship between the letter and the title of the book.

In the entire Windsor Castle, the person who can be called "her" will definitely not be an earl.

Apart from the housekeeper, the only person with dignity was the countess whom she had just met.

Does it mean that the countess is not a countess?
With his thoughts returning, Xu Zhinian quickly walked to the restaurant.

It's the same arrangement again, but it's different from the morning. At this time, the customs passers from the other four countries have already taken their seats.

Balu glanced at her and clicked his tongue impatiently: "I just said don't look for a little girl to clear the customs. She is just a vase. She even takes her time to eat lunch."

Wentu was like his lackey, always chiming in: "That's right, just dawdle, just for fear of holding us back."

Xu Zhinian listened to what they said, found a seat and sat down, smiled and nodded: "Yes."

"One drags four, it's almost impossible to carry them."

"Holy shit, Sister Xu can talk a lot."

"The gods are dragging four of them, I can't even carry them! I'm laughing so hard."

"It can be seen with the naked eye that the faces of those two people look like shit."

……

It was Iliad from Jiashui Kingdom who came to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, let's exchange some useful information during lunch."

Sidney from the Coconut Country echoed: "Yeah, don't forget that Monsterland is not a one-man battle! If time is delayed, we will all die!"

As soon as the word "death" came out, an atmosphere of terror swept through the entire restaurant.

It wasn't until the housekeeper appeared pushing the dining cart that the aroma of the food overwhelmed him.

Xu Zhinian glanced at the food, surrounded by blue magic power, and there was no problem.

Except that there was a faint red magic around the scarlet liquid drink made of unknown materials, which was obviously very problematic.

When choosing, she deliberately skipped drinks: "No, I don't like to drink anything while eating."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and said, "Okay."

This meal was devoured by the other four passers-by.

They haven't eaten since last night until now. They are all very hungry, and of course they eat in a hurry.

Halfway through the meal, Iliad from Jiashui Kingdom continued: "I think everyone has almost eaten. Let's talk about each other's clues." "I'll start with you. I found two more in the living room." The first rule is that you cannot enter the count's study under any circumstances, and the second rule is that you must not talk to the countess and avoid looking directly into her eyes."

"Ah, this is really heartbreaking. Sister Xu has violated everything."

"Housekeeper: Let me see who broke the rules? Miss Longguo, you can do whatever you want."

"Everyone, please don't take it lightly. What if the passer of Jia Shui Kingdom deliberately lies! Maybe there are no new rules at all."

Xu Zhinian felt very embarrassed at this time. Not only had she entered the count's study, but she had also started talking to the countess.

Not to mention looking directly in the eyes, she even asked people what gifts they wanted...

Help!It’s really embarrassing!
Everyone expressed their understanding, and then Sidney from Coconut Country shared clues.

"I just left the castle and walked into the garden. Determined to die, I talked with the gardener."

"The gardener said that the countess asked them to turn over the soil in the garden every two days, digging three feet into the ground as if they were looking for something."

"Because of this, more than a batch of flowers in the garden died."

Xu Zhinian stared into Sidney's eyes and looked at his piercing eyes. She felt that the customs clearance passer in Coconut Country did not look like a liar.

Perhaps the birthday present the Countess wanted was actually hidden in the soil of the garden.

Everyone nodded silently, followed by the next person, Balu from Luochuan Kingdom.

He seemed to be well prepared. After all, he had participated in many copies of Kaidan Paradise and took out a doll from his arms.

"Look, this is the doll I took out from the room on the left on the second floor."

Wen Tu looked at him with disdain: "Huh? What kind of clue is a doll for you?"

Balu glanced at him contemptuously, and then said: "This doll is not an ordinary doll. There is a card on the back. Look, it's this one."

Xu Zhinian, who was chewing the beef with gusto, swallowed the beef in a big mouth in an instant.

She looked at the card with burning eyes, and the words written on it were clearly visible:
Dear baby, this is your birthday gift from your mother!

Signed Countess of Windsor.

baby?Mother?
Could it be that the earl and countess have a child?

Xu Zhinian could finally feel that the passers of Luochuan Country were indeed some real people.

As a veteran, the clues he found were indeed very useful to them.

"What the hell? Do the count and his wife have a child?"

"Doll, or a girl?"

"Could it be that the birthday present the countess is looking for is her daughter?"

Xu Zhinian calmly analyzed it, and it seemed unreasonable if the "she" referred to in the title of the Count's book was their daughter.

After all, she hasn't heard of any young lady in the castle.

Oh, except of course herself - the young lady from the Dragon Kingdom.

It seems that the two clues do not overlap.

There must be something big behind this copy, and it seems that everyone is trying their best to hide it.

Next it was Wen Tu’s turn from Furong Kingdom.

He had nothing to take out, but simply stated: "I was in my room and found two other keys in the drawer."

“It’s labeled tool room and wine cellar.”

"I think there may be other keys in the bedside drawer of your room."

"These keys should be tools that allow us to find clues."

Everyone nodded, and then it was time for Xu Zhinian to introduce the clues.
