"Eating such greasy food in the morning, Azusa Mio's appetite is really unusual."

Jiang Mi stretched out his white and slender hand to pick up the knife and fork on the side of the plate, and cut off a piece of beef with skillful techniques.

Although this steak is already cold, Jiang Mi can still feel the delicacy of the beef from the knife cut to the touch on the steak, not to mention the delicious juice bursting out of his mouth.

Jiang Mi chewed carefully, and his face was filled with a look of intoxication and indulgence, which made Jiang Ning, who didn't have much appetite, swallow a mouthful of saliva, and some saliva came out of the tip of his tongue.

"It seems that the organizers of this party are really willing to spend money, just the steak I just tasted can feel the taste of infinite money, at first I was thinking about what the organizer is doing with so many expensive paintings in the cruise restaurant, but now I finally understand."

"Yes, this organizer is not just an upstart existence, and it can even be said that he has a high taste. It was even more luxurious than the party I had attended in Japan before. Zi Mio said with a smile while looking at Jiang Mi's pretentious appearance.

"Huh? By the way, Mio, what did you just want to tell me? Jiang Mi chewed on the steak and asked in a muffled voice.

Zi Mio smiled bitterly and glanced at Jiang Mi with a strange look: "I just wanted to say that these two steaks were not ordered by me, it should be said that they were left over from the guests last night." ”

"The rest?"

Jiang Mi's eyes widened suddenly, not only because he realized that he was actually eating leftovers, but also because he had just felt a foreign object while chewing.

After spitting out the foreign object that tasted bitter on the outside, Jiang Mi did not dislike the beef scrap in his mouth, and directly stretched out his hand to grab the foreign object, wanting to see what this thing was.

It was a note made of cowhide, with a sentence written on it in bright red imprints—

"Welcome to the new world."

Jiang Mi and the others hadn't reacted yet, Jiang Ning was the first to gasp, although he already knew that there would definitely be traces of this sentence at the scene of the crime in this restaurant, but ....... Why in steak?

Could it be that someone had stuffed this note into the steak beforehand?

But, again, how did the person stuffed the note know that the steak would be taken away by a guest who violated the rules set by the organizers?

- Jiang Ning, no, or the people who investigated the corpses together last night, they have now tacitly assumed that the corpses that died inexplicably must have died because they violated the rules set by the organizers.

Even if this is not the case, it can only be said based on the clues that have been deduced so far.

Therefore, to be able to accurately let this steak be served away by guests who violate the rules, these gathered, the most suspicious should be the back kitchen.

Jiang Ning subconsciously glanced at the door with a wooden sign on the side of the wall not far away, and frowned slightly.

On the other side, Jiang Mi and Zi Mio must have been surprised at first when they saw this note, and soon Jiang Mi gritted their teeth and looked around.

Perhaps in his eyes, the note stuffed into this steak should be a prank by some bear child or a good do-gooder.

Is...... He who does not know is not guilty.

Jiang Ning imagined what Jiang Mi's expression would have been if he knew that the words on this note were related to the bizarre case that happened last night.

"Huh? I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here......"

At this time, a somewhat calm and heavy voice came, and the three of them followed the sound to look at a man dressed somewhat formally in front of them.

I don't know why, after seeing this man, Jiang Ning actually had a strange feeling, like ...... The "death instinct" that humans possess that I have seen in psychology books before.

The man has long white hair, but the bangs on his forehead are black, and he wears a black mask with strange patterns painted on his face in addition to gold-rimmed monocles.

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes, feeling that this pattern was somewhat similar to the magic circle he had encountered in the dream before, but it was completely different.

The man was wearing a formal men's slender suit, and a pair of white gloves, and he didn't know what was in the pocket of the suit, but a golden chain stretched out of it.

What made Jiang Ning even more curious was that the man was holding a long-handled umbrella in his hand, and the top of the umbrella handle was the statue in "The Cthulhu Mythos" that Jiang Ning had seen when he was searching for inspiration before, but it was golden.

Just when Jiang Ning was curious and Jiang Mi was vigilant, Zimio, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly let out an excited and excited voice when she saw the man's appearance.

"Ah, did Mr. Yi Mo actually receive an invitation to this party? What a coincidence~"

Yi Mo?

This name is very in line with this man's temperament, Jiang Ning thought.

"Well, I was still thinking that I shouldn't have met an acquaintance at this party, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

The man named Yi Mo's entire face was covered by a mask, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but from his tone, he could tell the fact that he was actually laughing.

"By the way, you still have friends here, I'll leave ....... first"

"It's okay! Mr. Yi Mo is my friend, and I was just about to introduce you to them! ”

Zimio clasped the phone on the table, rubbed her hands excitedly, looked at Jiang Ning Jiang Mi, and pointed at the man: "Let me introduce you~ This is Mr. Yi Mo, a good friend I made during the live broadcast in Japan before, Mr. Yi Mo is a mysterious person~"

After speaking, Zimio continued to point to Jiang Mi and Jiang Ning, introducing the man in front of him.

After the act of being called a recommendation, Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand and held the man's powerful right hand tightly to show respect.

However, Jiang Mi stared at the man in front of him with a vigilant and hostile look.

The two confronted each other like that, Yi Mo felt a little uncomfortable first, and asked with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "What's wrong?" Mr. Jiang Mi, is there something strange about me that makes you stare at me like this? ”

"Nothing." Jiang Mi hugged his hand with a contemptuous expression, and said on his lips, but his hand didn't stretch out for a long time, "I'm just thinking, if you respect others in general, you should take off your gloves and stretch them out again, right?" There was also a hint of yin and yang in his tone.

Jiang Ning, who was watching from the sidelines, set his eyes on Yi Mo, although he didn't feel Yi Mo's disrespectful attitude, but when Jiang Mi said this, Jiang Ning also felt that something was wrong.

"This ......" At this time, if he wanted to save the situation, Yi Mo should have taken off his gloves and stretched out his hand again, but he hesitated.

"Look, I'll just say......." Just as Jiang Mi proudly proved his idea to Zimio, and was about to educate her not to approach people like Yi Mo, a somewhat hoarse unfamiliar voice suddenly came-

"You dare to hold the hand of death? So, you're brave, aren't you? ”
