Chapter 359: Antonio
Mo Xiaoyao felt that this person might be the John mentioned by Michelle before, who was in the same circus as him.
If it's just an ordinary group member, it must not be brought up alone, but since there has been a dialogue, it almost means that this character is related to this plot.
In order not to expose himself, Mo Xiaoyao glanced at John a few times, then withdrew his gaze and continued to watch others walk the plot as a bystander.
Edward had been lifted back up to the couch by the servants, and the fallen lamp and some other furniture had been restored to their original position by the servants.
The windows were still open, and there was no way to tell if they had been like this, or if they had been opened by someone who had disturbed Edward. The dining cart was on the side, it was already empty, and the original tea set and meals were put on the coffee table, Mo Xiaoyao felt that the tea set was very familiar, like the one he had fiddled with before.
Near the window, there was a desk, on which were stacked some documents and things that looked like letters, what was written specifically Mo Xiaoyao couldn't see, and in front of everyone, he couldn't really go over and look at those things.
On the wall, there are two portraits of family portraits, the one on the left, in the middle sits a middle-aged couple with blonde hair and blue eyes, and on either side of them, two children with the same blonde hair and blue eyes stand.
Turning into a puppet did not affect Mo Xiaoyao's eyesight, and her eyes strengthened by fortune cookies could easily see the line written under the frame that was not too small.
Richard Reden, Elizabeth Reden, Edward Reden, McCordon, painted July 1898.
Glancing at Edward, who was still muttering something like "someone is trying to harm me", and the doctor who examined him, it should be that "Sè Láng Robert", Mo Xiaoyao confirmed that the middle-aged man on this family photo was unlikely to be Edward.
The similarity is certain, but it is the kind of resemblance between immediate relatives, and if you link it to the person and age on the family portrait on the right, it can be determined that one of the two blonde and blue-eyed children is Edward.
Maybe it's the older one, but considering the worldview set in this script, it's very likely to be primogeniture. Of course, it is not ruled out that it is the second son, if the eldest son unfortunately dies.
In the family portrait on the right, there are also four people, a middle-aged couple, and between them stands a boy, and there is a younger girl a little further away.
Under the frame, the words read: Edward Reden, Mary Reden, Antonio Reden, Zoya Reden, painted in March 1919.
Now it is very clear that the middle-aged men and women in the family portrait on the left should be the old Raidon couple, who are the grandfather and grandmother of this body Zoya.
Mo Xiaoyao noticed that in the family portrait on the left, the family was blonde and blue-eyed, while on the right, it was much more interesting.
Four blondes, but three eye colors. Edward's blue, Lady Mary's and Antonio's green, and Zoya's brown.
According to Mo Xiaoyao's rough study of biology, Zoya's eye color should follow her mother's, the puppet with brown eyes similar to Zoya's appearance seen in the pendant before.
Given the dominant and recessive genes, if Antonio were Zoya's half-brother, the eye color shouldn't have been green anyway - but there's a question, in this copy, will this setting be followed?
Before Mo Xiaoyao could think clearly, Robert began to exercise his rights as a doctor, or began to read his script.
"Your Excellency the Baron is no longer in any serious trouble, everyone go back, too many people will thin the fresh air, and it will make His Excellency the Baron feel uneasy - Antonio, you stay, let the Baron have some dessert, or have a cup of tea, it will help his emotional stability."
Antonio nodded: "I'll take care of my father." ”
After that, in the order of Lady Mary, Robert, Zoya, and Susanna, the puppets left Edward's bedroom-study. Mo Xiaoyao noticed that the male puppet with a scar on his face before was gone, and he should have quietly left while he was leaving the plot.
This time, the zì yóu left for Mo Xiaoyao and the others was not very long, and everyone only had time to formally introduce themselves, and it was bèi pò who separated again.
Mo Xiaoyao got the task of returning to the bedroom before 18:50, which was very simple, she memorized the route before she came, and she didn't even need the guidance of the arrow to go back at this time.
After going back, Michelle was already waiting in the room, apparently with a large plot with her.
Mo Xiaoyao: "Oh, Michelle, are you okay?" The sāo luàn that came from my father's room just now frightened me. ”
Michelle: "Oh, don't worry, Zoya, I ran just in time. He recognized me, he called me Antonio, Lord of Hades, was it arranged by our father? ”
Mo Xiaoyao: "It's unbelievable! Why did he do this, you're his son. ”
Michelle: "But now it's a different person who occupies the name Antonio!" ”
Mo Xiaoyao: "Michelle, my dear brother, what are you going to do?" ”
Michelle: "I'm going to think of a way to get him to admit it himself – he's mentally unstable, and I snuck into the room and smell a strange smell." I'm sure if I add in some hallucinations or anything like that—you know, I'm a circus leader, and even though my adoptive father never stained my hands with sin, I still know what to use. ”
Mo Xiaoyao stepped forward and shook Michelle's hand: "Michelle, that's too risky." ”
Michelle held Mo Xiaoyao with his backhand: "But that's necessary, Zoya, I don't lie to you, I need this money." Now there are voices of war everywhere, many people have been forcibly drafted into the army, my members are no longer invited to perform, and there is almost no money in those villages - this is the only property my adoptive father left to me, and it is my most important responsibility. ”
Mo Xiaoyao: "You are so kind, Michelle, I really hope that my mother is still here, if she can see the real son, how happy she should be." ”
Michelle: "Oh, Mom, what a strange and affectionate name. I only have an adoptive father, no adoptive mother, I grew up in the circus as a child, they took care of me, and now it's my turn to take care of them. If I can regain my true identity, I will get the money and land I deserve, so that the circus will last until the end of the war, and they will neither be kicked out nor starved of food. ”
Mo Xiaoyao felt that thanks to this undulating tone, plus being controlled, otherwise she would either laugh or go crazy if she came to such a time.
The conversation stopped at this point, and both of them received a hint that the task was completed, followed by about 2 minutes of zì yóu communication.
"I always feel that we will soon reach the critical point." Michelle was not polite, he was running back and forth this time, even if his body was made of wood, he felt that he was going to fall apart, "I always feel that the time of playing is too long." ”
Mo Xiaoyao: "It's definitely not enough time to go out and go around, so let's exchange information first." ”
Michelle: "Since we are allies, I don't think there's anything to hide, John in my group is a little suspicious, sneaky, and he forced me a pack of cigarettes before, and I didn't smoke it, so I put it in my pocket, and I can't throw it away if I want to." ”
Mo Xiaoyao also told Suzanne about it, as well as some inferences about genetics: "Susanna's identity is the maid left by Zoya's mother, saying that she watched Zoya grow up, and she knows your identity." Also, if you want to confirm this identity in the future, I think you can find it from the eye color, Zoya's mother's eye color is also brown, dark color is usually the dominant gene, and both brothers and sisters follow their mother. ”
Michelle nodded: "My character, I know that doctor Robert, it seems that I helped Robert a few years ago when he was down, he should have been very simple at the time, and now he is completely different." ”
Speaking of this, Michelle paused for a moment, and her tone sounded a little weird: "So what...... When I went in to look for him, he seemed to be sniffing something that looked like women's underwear...... Is this a clue? ”
Mo Xiaoyao's face was expressionless—she couldn't make any expression anyway—and she spoke: "That's Zoya's corset." Robert's character is supposed to be a prodigal, maybe he will find some clues by breaking through here. ”
Michelle coughed twice and changed the subject: "Have you ever played Murder Mystery before?" ”
Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "I haven't played it, I've only watched similar variety shows, and I've watched others play in the app." ”
Michelle: "Then I'm relieved, at least you know what's going on - I guess this copy must be the same, but I don't know who the murderer and the deceased will be." ”
Mo Xiaoyao: "...... Usually the script of the murder mystery begins, and the person is already dead. I guess it's because of the different ways we entered the dungeon this time that we played such a big string first-what do you think of this......
Michelle blinked, flexing her fingers to make a question mark.
Mo Xiaoyao found that he couldn't say the words "Lu Xiao Jie's invitation", as if he was blocked by something special.
Thinking that it is obviously a one-player welfare copy, but there are so many more players out of thin air, Mo Xiaoyao has a vague understanding in his heart, maybe different players have different names of the dungeon - for themselves, this is a welfare copy that will not die, but for them, it may be the kind of dungeon that fights hard in "GameToday".
But even so, Mo Xiaoyao didn't want to admit defeat casually, even if the failure of the copy might cost him his life.
Seeing that Michelle was still waiting for him, Mo Xiaoyao thought about it and used the word copy instead of the name, anyway, it had been mentioned several times before, and it made no sense that it could not be used now.
"According to the order of the murder mystery game, we are still in the stage of introducing ourselves, and we expect that when the victim appears in the copy, the progress will be accelerated - what we can't hide or destroy will be unfavorable evidence. You have this kind of thing, I have it, everyone has it, but I don't know how to collect evidence. ”
Mo Xiaoyao closed her mouth after saying this long list, she was faintly uneasy in her heart, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell where it was, and she could only take one step at a time.
Michelle agreed with Mo Xiaoyao's opinion, and the two continued to exchange some information they had gathered that "can be said to allies, it doesn't matter".
Soon, the exchange time was over, and Michelle was arranged by the system to leave Zoya's bedroom in the small courtyard and return the way she came.
Five minutes later, at 19 o'clock, there was a terrible shout from the manor.
"Antonio !!!"
At the same time, a familiar system voice appeared in Mo Xiaoyao's head.
