Chapter 41 Clues
Wen Siyue took a look, then reached out to touch the dusty canvas, paused at a certain spot, and said with a smile, "Found it."

The boy's delicate and beautiful fingers gently slid across the canvas, and his fingertips were instantly stained with dark brown, highlighting the lower left corner of the canvas.

The date and signature were clearly written on it.

——《Black Cat-Chet》

1763/ 12/ 1

Wen Siyue had a bright smile on his face, and turned to everyone and said, "I understand."

She didn't know that she and Huo Jingnan were so close. When she turned her head, her lips almost touched Huo Jingnan's chest.

Wen Siyue was startled and reacted extremely quickly by leaning back.

There was a look of panic in his eyes.

Huo Jingnan's eyes deepened. The boy had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the joy of finding the clue was still on his face, but there was fear in his eyes, and his eyes were slightly widened because of fear.

Her hair swayed slightly due to his movements.

Huo Jingnan was somewhat tempted, "Not bad."

He raised his hand and gently ruffled the boy's hair, not sure whether he was complimenting him on how nice his hair felt or on finding the clue.

Wen Siyue’s eyes widened even further.

Huo Jingnan withdrew his hand, looked at her wide-open eyes and thought to himself, she looks more like a Samoyed.

The guests behind them all fell into deathly silence.

When did Si Chao become so close to the CEO? !
【Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! ! 】

[CEO x little idol is killing me]

[This pat on the head, this pat on the head ah ah ah]

【Chao Chao is so cute】

Wen Siyue has calmed down. The boss probably thinks of her as a friend.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been greeted not with praise from the boss but with his anger.

She patted her chest, stroked her chin and continued to observe the details on the canvas.

Several pieces of information are already known from the canvas.

1. The “owner’s” pet may be the black cat he is holding, which can be corroborated by the scratches on the swing.

2. The “master” and his butler have a special relationship, as can be seen from the canvas, and their facial features are somewhat similar.

3. The eyes of the "master" are invisible.

as well as.

"The butler is over two hundred years old." Wen Siyue sighed.

As soon as she said this, the guests' scalps went numb.

"Si Chao, protect your brother!" Wu Shi didn't care that Huo Jingnan was standing next to Wen Siyue. He rushed over and hugged her arm.

In a short while, Wen Siyue was covered with people again.

Huo Jingnan glanced coldly at the person on her, frowning slightly.

They had never seen the place on the canvas, and Wen Siyue was now more certain that it was on the fourth floor.

But how are they going to get up there?

Seeing that it was already evening outside the window, they walked towards the restaurant.

The butler has been waiting here for a long time.

When he saw the housekeeper, Wen Siyue started to laugh.

On the other hand, because Wen Siyue had just said that the butler was over two hundred years old, the others saw that the fear on the butler's face was even greater than before.

The butler had no deterrent power in front of Wen Siyue. He tried to keep a straight face and said, "Please tell me the answer, guests."

Wen Siyue: "The real owner is on the fourth floor."

The butler nodded, and then saw the person in front of him looking at him obediently, "So you are really over 200 years old?"

housekeeper:……

The butler was very cold, "Have you found the master's pet?"

Wen Siyue nodded and said that the pet was a black cat and should be with its owner now. The housekeeper did not say whether it was right or wrong, but turned around and led them into the restaurant. The restaurant was not small, with a long table in the middle with nine chairs, exquisite tableware, candlesticks and flowers on the table, which looked very ceremonial.

Unfortunately, the guests have already developed ptsd about the things in the castle.

Wu Shi looked around, afraid that the NPC would suddenly come out from the corner.

After seeing Wen Siyue sit down, he sat next to her without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yun also sat on the other side of Wen Siyue.

Huo Jingnan, who was a step slower, glanced at the two of them and sat down opposite them.

When everyone was present, the servants began to serve the food.

A melodious tune came from somewhere.

Everyone was a little restless and stared at the servants for a long time. They were relieved only when they were sure that these people would not suddenly turn into scary NPCs.

We spent the whole day being scared, running away, and looking for clues, and everyone was already starving.

The table was filled with exquisite Western dishes, including baked baguette with apple and cheese, grilled yogurt and smoked salmon, and pasta with basil meat sauce. They all tasted pretty good.

The atmosphere gradually became comfortable, and everyone was chatting while eating a delicious dinner.

Wen Siyue just kept eating and didn't say much.

After all, she had been dragging so many human-shaped pendants around today, and she felt so hungry that she could eat a cow.

By the time everyone finished eating, it was already dark.

The fog outside the castle grew thicker, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. It looked like it was going to rain.

The relaxed atmosphere during the meal gradually disappeared, and the guests inexplicably felt that something terrible was about to happen.

The butler came in with several servants, each holding a box in his hand.

The butler said to everyone, "The host is very satisfied with the guests' answers just now. This is your reward."

The servants placed the box in front of everyone.

When the guests opened the boxes, they found that the items inside were different.

Wu Shi’s umbrella was a broken one, the kind that children use.

Ji Jinbai's was a palm-sized paper fan.

Others had small mirrors, thumb-sized hats, and the like.

The only one wearing this was Huo Jingnan, a transparent raincoat.

Wen Siyue's was slightly worse than his, it was a mask.

As soon as the transparent raincoat appeared, everyone began to speculate about what would happen next.

So Huo Jingnan and Wen Siyue specially exchanged props with the two girls.

[Ahhhh, Chao Chao and Yun Yun exchanged props, if this isn’t love, what is it?! ]

[Boss Huo and Chao Chao are both very nice. They even specially exchanged props with the girl.]

[The male guest is almost broken into pieces]

[Teacher Wu was holding that broken umbrella and looking at Yunyun and the others with envy. It made me laugh to death. Haha.]

At this moment, the background music quietly became weird.

The plates in front of them were taken away by the servants, and only then did the guests discover that the long table actually had a mechanism.

There is a round lid under the plate. After it is opened, a small spray device slowly rises up, facing everyone's face.

Guests: ? ?
[I now understand why I gave you props]

[The props of Chao Chao and Mr. Huo are simply too good]

The butler said quietly, "The host wants to play another little game with the guests. The rules of the game are as follows. In each round, everyone has to answer a question, and each question has a forbidden word. If you answer a forbidden word, or give a repeated answer -"

"The device in front of you will spray different liquids. Friends in the castle rely on these liquids to identify people and food."

As he spoke, the butler and the servants behind him all smiled strangely.

The guests shuddered and felt like running away.
