Chapter 89: The Caged Beast
"We are all trapped beasts that are slaughtered by others..."Gu Yu twisted her eyebrows, and the fork in her hand unconsciously stirred gently in the plate, "Then if this is really the case, the setting of all our characters will not be established, that is to say, ......"
Her eyes lit up suddenly, "I'm not a dumb girl, I can speak loudly!"
Pei Yan raised his eyes to meet her happy eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the lights are bright and the predator does not appear, you can speak loudly." β
"Great!" she got up from her chair all of a sudden, took a few breads and stuffed them into her apron, and said, "Then I have to quickly determine Xinning's current location before the lights go out, the screams of the women just now and the sudden lights out probably scared her a lot! Teacher Pei, I'm full, let's hurry up!"
Pei Yan: "......"
The steak in my mouth suddenly became tasteless.
He sighed silently in his heart, wiped his mouth depressedly, picked up the candlestick on the table, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go with you to find her..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's heart-rending scream reached the ears of the two of them.
"Whoaββ! where are you, Whoa-ββ!!! HELP"
Gu Yan was startled, her pupils subconsciously constricted, "It's Xinning's voice!
But then she quickly shook her head and denied herself, "Impossible, she guesses she really can't help it... Let's go out and find her!"
It's not that Gu Yu deliberately looks down, but with Lu Xinning's IQ and adaptability, in such a tense and terrifying environment, the probability that she can come up with the answer that she and Pei Yan figured out together is really low.
It is estimated that she was really scared this time, so she took the initiative to ask for help regardless of her "life or death".
Thinking of this, she hurriedly opened the kitchen door and responded loudly: "Xinning, I'm here, don't be afraid! Where are you now?"
"Yu Fei!" Lu Xinning almost cried with joy when she heard Gu Yu's voice, and quickly looked around, and replied in a throat: "I'm in a small utility room, outside is a long corridor, and there are some paintings hanging on the wall!"
Gu Yu and Pei Yan glanced at each other, "I know, you stay where you are, don't move, I'll go to you now!"
"It's at least on the third floor, but there are two passages leading upstairs, so we might as well split up and meet when we find someone. Without waiting for her to speak first, Pei Yan said concisely.
Gu Yu nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll be left and you'll be right!"
After saying that, she picked up the hem of her skirt and went straight to the stairs on the left, looking very chic without looking back.
Pei Yan silently stared at her back: "......"
"Oh yes! I almost forgot..."Gu Yu suddenly patted her head and turned back.
Seeing this, Pei Yan's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled imperceptibly.
Gu Yu stepped forward, took out two breads from the stuffed apron and handed them to Pei Yan, "In case we encounter any special circumstances and can't meet again, these two bread Teacher Pei, you can keep them for dinner!"
The curvature that had just risen at the corner of Pei Yan's mouth quickly drooped again, "Well, thank you." β
"You're welcome, you're welcome, then I'll go!Remember that whoever finds Xinning first, must shout loudly to meet together!" Gu Yu waved at him and ran to the stairs again without looking back.
"Don't worry, we'll definitely meet again..."
Pei Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the two loaves of bread in his hand that were still warm, his slender fingers tightened a little, and he whispered meaningfully.

Gu Yu climbed up to the third floor in one breath, and by the way, she found an open letter next to the corpse of a predator at the staircase on the second floor, the letter was written by the groom of the castle, and the content was very bloody Mary Sue, roughly that she fell in love with the youngest daughter of the Duke of Alexander, but because of the disparity in status, she couldn't express her love, she was very sad and anxious, and she only looked forward to seeing her briefly every day and seeing her face.
Except for the last sentence "I must take her out of this hellish place!", there were few important clues in the whole text, but Gu Yu still folded it and put it in her apron pocket.
She walked around the third floor before finally finding the long corridor with paintings that Lu Xinning said.
However.
"Xinning?" Looking at the three closed doors in front of her, a strange sense of crisis inexplicably rose in her heart, and she whispered cautiously, "Are you inside?"
The air seemed to freeze, and for a moment only her own breathing could be heard.
"Lu Xinning, where are you?" she raised her eyebrows and shouted again.
Half an hour later, there was still no answer.
"Oh my God..."
Gu Yu "chuckled" in her heart, and a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
Lu Xinning won't be killed, right......
She gritted her teeth and took a few steps forward and slammed open the first door, all the while vigilantly pushing it back.
It was just an ordinary utility room inside, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, took a broom from it casually, walked to the second door, and exerted force again.
Fortunately, it's still a utility room.
Only the last one remains.
Gu Yan's sixth sense told her that this should be the place.
She took a deep breath, blocked herself with a broom, covered the doorknob, and slowly pulled it openβ
The first thing to enter was a large pool of blood, and there was a red-stained apron lying in a pool of blood, exactly the same as Gu Yan's body.
Sure enough, Lu Xinning died.
Gu Yu sighed helplessly and closed the door, but just as she was about to turn around, the lights in the castle went out again.
"Ahββ!h
The woman's scream this time is very familiar, it is Lu Xinning, who was found dead just now.
She roared miserably, like a beast mad because she was trapped, weeping blood at every word.
"Why didn't you come to save meββ!"
