In the tense atmosphere, even time seems to slow down.

When everyone stayed nervously for a while, they found that there was no accident at all, and even when the clock in the living room pointed to half past twelve, there was still no situation, and over time, everyone's nerves involuntarily relaxed.

"Gurgling ....."

"I'm hungry."

Ren Xuan made an unpretentious voice, which also aroused Gu Moli's disdainful gaze: "If you put it inside, a person like you will basically be ruthlessly killed by the author within ten chapters, and then become the fuse of the first homicide and the whole case..."

"Hey! Don't intimidate! ”

"It's a reasonable assumption for me, I'll cook my own things when I'm hungry, and although the food in the kitchen is a bit difficult to take, it can be solved with a little time."

"Huh..."

Hearing that he had to cook by himself, Ren Xuan suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, but unexpectedly, in the end, he actually ran to the kitchen by himself.

Because it is not a closed space, Gu Moli has no one to follow, after all, the other party is also a VIP player with ability, and compared to a dragon man like Ren Xuan, Gu Moli feels that it is more likely that he will be selected by the murderer and is the only ordinary person among the six.

Yun Xiaoyue.

"That...."

Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, just when Gu Moli was thinking about it, Yun Xiaoyue suddenly raised her hand, looking a little embarrassed, and her face was slightly red: "I want to go to the toilet...."

"I'll go with you."

Without Gu Moli's reminder, Li Shaohua said very cooperatively: "It's too dangerous to be alone, it's much better to have me with you, right?" ”

"Hmm... Thank you. ”

Yun Xiaoyue smiled at Li Shaohua, got up immediately, nodded to Zhuge beside her, and immediately went to the toilet on the first floor of the villa with Li Shaohua.

However, just as the two of them got up.

Gu Moli, who had just confirmed his eyes with Li Shaohua, suddenly felt a chill on his back, and immediately raised his head sharply and looked in the direction of Li Shaohua and Yun Xiaoyue.

“.... Zhuge ! You go with them! ”

"Huh!?"

Yun Xiaoyue and Li Shaohua looked back in amazement, and even Zhuge was stiff, revealing a little uncomfortable.

"Even I can't...."

"I don't need you to go in." Gu Moli added: "Stand at the door just in case, if something happens, remember to scream loudly, and when the time comes, Zhuge you will immediately break the door and rush in, understand?" ”

"Oh... Could it be...."

Could it be that you are overly nervous? Although they didn't say it, Yun Xiaoyue and Li Shaohua's expressions both revealed this meaning.

However, Zhuge had no intention of objecting.

Gu Moli also shook his head.

"It's just cautious."

"In special cases, let's take care of it."

"Hmm.... I understand. ”

Yun Xiaoyue and Li Shaohua were not unreasonable people, so they quickly nodded in agreement.

In this way, Ren Xuan, Li Shaohua, Yun Xiaoyue, Zhuge , the four of them have something to do, and they can also take care of each other, so Gu Moli pulled Hua Qiong to the sofa on the side and sat down, this position has a good view, you can see Ren Xuan in the kitchen and Zhuge at the door of the toilet at the same time.

Followed by.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Gu Moli asked Hua Qiong, who had been silent from the beginning.

“.... Well? Huh? Boss, you ask me? ”

"Nonsense."

Gu Moli glanced at Hua Qiong angrily, and the latter showed a flattered expression.

"I thought you didn't need my help at all, boss."

"Oh, about this."

Gu Moli buried his body in the sofa and relaxed his body: "You are my bodyguard, and since the Golden Treasure I told you, I won't treat you as a fool anymore." ”

"Boss....!"

Hua Qiong showed an extremely touched look.

"Alright, alright." Gu Moli waved his hand: "Stop chatting, back to the point, do you have any discoveries and ideas?" This eerie Phantom City. ”

"Hmm...."

Hua Qiong obviously attached great importance to Gu Moli's question, so she thought about it very seriously for a while before she said in a deep voice: "I think the main clue is the curse of the Phantom Duke, boss, do you remember that sentence?" ”

"When the clock strikes midnight, the evil spirits I raise will break out of their cages and hunt in my castle, and only those who survive will receive my gifts.... Right? ”

"Yes."

Hua Qiong continued: "Could this be some kind of riddle... This? ”

"Riddles?"

"That's right!" Speaking of this, Hua Qiong suddenly became excited: "Look, isn't there all kinds of reasoning, everyone is trapped in an ancient mansion, and the murderer has set up a riddle, as long as the person who solves the riddle can leave, and there is a truth hidden in it for a hundred years..."

As she spoke, Hua Qiong's voice gradually lowered.

And Gu Moli looked at her with an expression like a fool: "..... Do you find inspiration in reasoning? ”

"Uh-huh!"

"Leaving aside the ancient house, have you forgotten that this house appeared out of thin air? Or are you willing to accept that this house is the mansion of the so-called Phantom Duke, and not think about the scientific possibilities in it? ”

"Woooooo

In the end, Gu Moli not only sighed: "You can't really be stupid, right?" ”

"I'm just giving you an example... The main thing is that this curse of the Phantom Duke is indeed very suspicious, I really think there will be any clues in it. ”

"Nonsense."

“.... Huh? ”

Gu Moli's face remained unchanged: "Of course there are clues here!" Since Phantom City really exists, everything related to Phantom City is a clue, and the curse of this Phantom Duke is even more suspicious, otherwise the mysterious voice just now would not have specifically emphasized this point. ”

"I'll just say it's really suspicious!"

"But!"

Gu Mo turned away from the conversation: "The method of reasoning is wrong!" Don't use common sense to reason! There are only a handful of successful cases of reasoning techniques in reality, give me basic logic to reason, all reasoning must be based on clues! ”

"Unless it's a game, don't just make it up."

"It's... Be! ”

Hua Qiong didn't know why, so she suddenly gave Gu Moli a military salute.... This guy, could it be that his family has a military background? Or is it just plain funny?

Putting aside the doubts that instantly arose in his heart, Gu Moli thought about it again.

The Curse of the Phantom Duke.

Although Hua Qiong's reasoning method is outrageous, the conclusion is correct, that curse is indeed worth figuring out, and looking at the content, it is very likely to be related to the method of leaving this villa, but he can't find a clue for a while, the midnight bell rings, the evil ghosts raised come out of the cage, hunt everyone in the castle, and only the only one who survives can get the gift of the Phantom Duke.

Is there any hidden meaning in this?

Or is it ....

"Ah------!!!h

.... Without waiting for Gu Moli to think of an answer, a sharp cry suddenly broke the silence of the villa and the atmosphere that was gradually calming down.

The direction in which the voice came from....

.... Lavatory!
