Relax, I'm not some troublemaker from a role-playing game.

What happened? What's going on? What should we do?!

Bai Xi stood at the doorway, staring intently at Natis across from him, while lost in thought.

No, how did you die?

I haven't even had a chance to make fun of you yet!

Now that the seemingly most harmless person has suddenly died, Bai Xi is starting to feel a headache coming on.

—Where am I supposed to find a partner with whom I can work easily?

Do you have any clues?

Bai Xi sighed, raised his head, and stared intently at Natis. Natis, however, seemed to chuckle.

"You doubt me?"

She asked with a smile. Bai Xi's lips twitched, and she decisively skipped the topic, stepping out the door.

Expecting Nyarlathotep to answer this question? Might as well just forget about it and go to bed...

Moreover, Bai Xi felt that this matter did not seem to be related to Naya Qian.

It's hard to say whether she's behind it all, but at least she definitely wasn't the one who made the move... If it were Naya, Bai Xi reckon it wouldn't be so easy to let it go.

This guy is definitely the type to stir things up quietly, then suddenly create a huge commotion...

With this thought in mind, Bai Xi casually sent a message to Jiang Lingyi while moving closer to the crowd in front of her.

Natis followed closely behind him, clearly also extremely interested in the scene.

At this moment, all the heirs and tenants had gathered in the corridor, forming a circle. As soon as Bai Xi approached, he heard the clattering of dice.

[Psychological test score = 12/70, extremely difficult to succeed]

[Detection check = 82/70, failed]

Sometimes I really don't know what to say to you...

As KP ​​spoke, Baek Hee felt the scene before her suddenly become much clearer.

Within the circle of people was Vagra's room. The door was open, but no one approached, leaving a completely empty area—because at the doorway, Orpheus lay on the floor, pale-faced, and Bai Xi only glanced at him before confirming it was due to extreme terror.

She was terrified by the sight she had just seen.

So Bai Xi looked ahead and saw the tall, thin man—it was Wagra.

Or rather, his corpse.

He lay face down on the floor of his room, just a step away from the door, his hand outstretched towards it.

But it was as if he had lost all his strength at the last moment. Bai Xi vaguely saw black blood seeping out from beneath Wagra.

Is it poison? Or something else?

Bai Xi looked around curiously, but soon noticed a problem...

Damn it, he failed the investigation and certification; he couldn't see it himself!

With a helpless sigh, Bai Xi turned her head to look at the other heirs and tenants present.

Perhaps because psychology is extremely difficult to succeed with, at that moment, Bai Xi felt that the expressions of these people were exceptionally vivid, and he felt as if he could glean a lot from them.

Stoffey, also a player, remained silent, his face showing only a hint of surprise and contemplation.

The fake medicine dealer Claude and the old widow Chasher watched this scene quietly, but... Bai Xi could see a certain joy in their faces.

That makes sense, after all, there's one less competitor.

Chaos's face, however, was grim, as if dark clouds were gathering on it, about to unleash a furious thunderclap.

He strode forward, turned over Wagra's body, and saw the hideous face he had contorted before his death. His own expression darkened, as if water were about to drip from it.

Then, he turned around and looked at Orpheus.

"Ophis, I'll only ask you once, what exactly happened?"

"Chaos asked in a deep voice. Orpheus kept waving his hands, seemingly still unable to recover from such a sudden event:"

"I don't know... I, I just came to open the door, and when I opened it I suddenly saw this..."

"...I hope so, Layton!"

Suddenly, Chaos raised his voice, and the taciturn elite lawyer stepped forward and nodded to Chaos with an equally somber expression.

Bai Xi gazed quietly at that face, and then the sound of dice rolling rang out again. The next moment, Bai Xi felt that the expression on that face seemed to become more vivid.

It was as if he was agitated, agitated by Chaos in front of him.

It seems their relationship isn't as good as they imagined...

Bai Xi stroked his chin, lost in thought, when he saw Chaos turn to them and say in a solemn voice:

"I apologize for the spectacle... but it's getting late, so please go home now."

"This is a Mansfield family matter. If you insist on staying here to watch the spectacle, then the Mansfield family will no longer be your friends. I will take care of this matter immediately."

"Big brother..."

Claude opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but the next moment, he was glared at fiercely by Chaos.

Claude then fell silent again, simply closing his eyes.

Bai Xi sighed, and without much hesitation, turned around and prepared to return to her room.

"Looks like there's not much of a show to watch..."

Natis shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, and returned to his room.

The corridor fell silent once again.

After returning to his room, Bai Xi closed the door.

"How could Wagra die so mysteriously..."

Bai Xi rubbed her temples, thinking with a headache.

Even more crucially, who should I partner with?

Bai Xi hesitated in his heart. After thinking it over and over again, he suddenly heard a knock on his door.

So, interrupting her thoughts, Bai Xi stood up and opened the door with new questions in her mind.

Who would come looking for me at this hour? Could it be Chaos coming to find out what's going on?

In an instant, countless explanations surfaced in Bai Xi's mind. But the moment he opened the door, he couldn't help but feel a moment of surprise.

"Storfy?"

Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, Bai Xi was momentarily surprised.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well..."

Stoffie looked around, and taking advantage of the moment when his older brother was dealing with things in Wagra's room, he turned around, closed the door, and slipped into Bai Xi's room from a blind spot.

Then, he asked Bai Xi mysteriously:

"Hey bro, wanna team up?"

Looking at Stoffey's cheerful smile, to be honest, Bai Xi had a moment of suspicion that this mourner was possessed by Nyarlathotep.

But he quickly regained his composure and asked softly:

"Cooperation? Is there anything you'd like to cooperate with me on?"

"Hmm... let me ask you, would you be interested in helping me win the family property battle?"

Stoffey shrugged and said:

"Look at me, I'm all alone now, while you guys are so ambitious. When we're together, in your Qin Dynasty's words, it's like a golden breeze and jade dew meeting, surpassing countless encounters in the mortal world!"

"When the time comes, we'll storm Mansfield Park, I'll be the First Emperor, and you'll be the Second Emperor. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Stofi said in a booming voice, reciting rhymes with ease," he continued. But Bai Xi simply waved his hand dismissively, looking exasperated.

"Don't give me that nonsense... Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Bai Xi looked serious, his brows furrowed, and asked Stoffey.

Then, Stoffey's beaming expression froze, and finally, he sighed helplessly—

—A solemn expression followed.

"Don't you think a dance with three people is a bit too difficult?"

Then, with an indifferent and calm expression, Stoffey countered with a question:

"So, I've come to ask if you'd be interested in helping me get Layton out of the game?"
