Late night quickly descended, and guests gathered in the main hall of the auditorium.

The ceiling of the main hall is magnificent, and fifteen lamps are hung on it, except for the one in the center, which is larger than the others, the others are exactly the same, arranged in the front and back, left and right, respectively, showing a subtle beauty, but ordinary people can not see anything.

Each chandelier was inlaid with thirty-six illuminated crystals, each full of crystals, like a freshly ripe grape, the size of a fist, and the whole hall was as bright as day.

The polished pine floor is polished so polished that you can even reflect your reflection when you walk on it. The lights came down from all angles, everywhere, and the shadows of the guests overlapped and staggered, and the faint ones almost disappeared.

Naturally, everyone in the Rorschach group had never seen such a scene, and they were shocked beyond measure. At the moment, men and women in costumes talked to each other, staggered and exchanged pleasantries, with the hypocritical smiles on their faces that were characteristic of aristocrats. Waiters shuttled back and forth among them, at least nearly a hundred people. The muffled whispers of everyone and the clinking of objects merge into a perfect white noise that blends with the sound of the band playing from the corners, slowly flowing into all corners.

Dinner parties of this size are rare even in the palace of the Morning Star, let alone in a remote area like Chablis. This has far exceeded the level of the "celebration banquet", and the Grand Duke is really a rich man who will enjoy it.

"What the hell does the Grand Duke want to do......"

Rorschach muttered, unlike the restrained members, he was very comfortable, but his expression was slightly solemn.

He seemed to realize that tonight was more than just a celebration party.

Mu Yan kept his head down and stared at the floor.

On the exquisite pine floor, thin black lines can be faintly seen, which at first glance look like cracks everywhere in the wood, but once you spread out the perception, you can see that the entire floor of the auditorium is spliced together, and you can see that the lines are actually connected to each other.

If you squint your eyes again and look up at the wire-drawn light, you will see that the two are roughly the same in outline.

"Master Mu Yan?"

"Huh?"

"What are you looking at?" Rorschach asked.

"Ah, it's nothing......" Mu Yan smiled shyly, "The floor is slippery, I have to be careful." ”

Rorschach smiled, turned and walked forward.

didn't take two steps, and Mu Yan's exclamation suddenly came from behind him.

He hurriedly turned around, and found that the mage had been knocked to the ground by the hurried waiter because he was looking down at the floor, and the bright red wine was drenched.

"Yes, I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry!"

"Uh...... It's okay, but I'm just wearing this clothes......"

"I'll take you to change! No problem! ”

"Then I'll leave for a moment, Captain." Mu Yan looked at him apologetically.

Rorschach nodded. After the two left, he looked at the ground curiously, on the smooth floor, it was supposed that the wine should be scattered in all directions, but now there seemed to be a trace of it penetrating in, bright red as blood......

……

Not long after, the Grand Duke appeared on the platform at the front of the auditorium and stretched out his hand to signal to everyone.

The hall quickly fell silent, and everyone looked at the Duke and paid him the highest respect.

The beginning of the dinner party was naturally a long and useless speech, but this time the Grand Duke deliberately shortened the content, explained the purpose of the dinner in three or two sentences, and began to introduce the protagonist.

There is no doubt that the protagonists this time are the people of the Rorschach group.

The group was invited to the Grand Duke to receive the admiration of the people of Chablis. There was a group of glamorous aristocrats standing in the audience, among which there were certainly glances of gratitude and approval, but also disdain and ridicule.

Standing at this angle, Mu Yan could see what seemed to be floating in the air as long as he tilted his neck slightly.

It is an invisible air mass that can only be captured by perception, but once the existence of the air mass is confirmed by perception, you can detect the slight refraction and shift of light with your eyes. This part of the anomaly makes the light from the chandelier more dazzling and charming, and it makes me a little dizzy after a few glances.

“…… Praise the blood and sacrifice of these warriors, and thanks to them, Chablis is back to its former peace! We want to spread the word about their story and welcome back those who have left! ”

"Kudos to Captain Rorschach!"

"Long live the Duke!"

"Chablis lives forever!"

At the end of the speech, the atmosphere of the dinner gradually increased, and the Grand Duke patted Rorschach on the shoulder, smiling to indicate that they could continue to enjoy the dinner. After this, the Duke was carried out of the hall by the maid on the grounds that he was unwell, leaving only the staff to preside over the dinner.

From a distance, Mu Yan saw the smile on the other side, which was quite meaningful.

Tsk, isn't it just a confused magic circle, as for being proudly like this...... Mu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, changed his usual shy and shy appearance, and gave John the middle finger who was looking over.

Mr. Staff was stunned for a moment, firstly, he couldn't understand this gesture, and secondly, he didn't understand why the other party suddenly seemed to be a different person, and his heart suddenly burst out.

But soon, he returned to normal, believing that it was a feud forged at an open-air party.

Hmph, reckless young mage, soon, your so-called "talent" will be mine. Take your knowledge with you to cross that moat-like threshold! If you're alive at all.

The staff chatted with the people around them, and turned to leave the hall.

……

As the minutes ticked by, Rorschach began to realize that something was not right.

Although the atmosphere was high, it was a little too hot. Many people had an unnatural flush on their faces, but they didn't notice it.

As a swordsman, he always wants to keep his body in the best condition, and he is naturally very sensitive to this abnormality, so when his mind gradually lags, he is the first to react. He was slowly losing control of his limbs, and his strength was being withdrawn little by little......

Rorschach looked at the rest of the group, most of them basking in the shock of the glorious hall and the delicious food, as if they hadn't noticed it.

Master Mu Yan...... Yes, and him.

But Rorschach turned his head, only to find that Mu Yan was gone?

"Nevira, Gordon, let Dorne and them all come back." Rorschach commanded in a low voice.

"What's going on, Captain?"

"Master Mu Yan is gone, don't you see? And I have a bad premonition, hurry up and assemble! ”

"Yes, understood."

Although the state of affairs is not yet clear, the people of the Rorschach regiment still carried out the orders of the regiment commander perfectly.

A few minutes later, the group members who had been wandering around gathered again. Rorschach led them out of the hall, trying to go outside to sober up, and by the way, look for Mu Yan. But as soon as they stepped out of the hall, before they had time to take a few steps, the group lost their strength one after another and fell into the corridor one after another.

"What's wrong with me...... Dizzy ......"

"Me too, I can't exert any strength......"

"What about Master Mu Yan and the others?"

"You won't go to the bathroom, will you?"

I don't know who said this, and everyone chuckled in their hearts.

It's over, and sure enough, something happened......

Since joining the team, nothing good has ever happened to Mu Yan when he goes to the toilet, and it seems to be even more so now......

"Don't make a noise!"

Rorschach's face was solemn, and strangely enough, they fell down in the hallway, but all around them were empty, and there was not a single waiter in sight.

"Help, someone! Help me! ”

"Is anyone there?!"

The shouts had no effect, and their voices seemed to be confined to the small space, and the guests who were only a few meters away not only ignored their shouts, but even the occasional one or two who looked up were ignored, as if they were separated by a wall......

"I'm afraid it's not good......"

As if to confirm Rorschach's conjecture, a scream of pain suddenly came from the hall.

It was a beginning, a bloody beginning.
