Elizabeth looked at Wu Ji nervously, guarding against the attack he might launch at any time.
I was extremely nervous.
Why aren't you here yet? Someone come quickly!
Could it be that the overly comfortable life has caused the servants in the house to lose their vigilance?
Damn, I met this man at this moment.
Wu Ji unceremoniously savored the macarons, scones, raspberry cakes, egg tarts, chocolate fruit platter, small biscuit sandwiches, piece by piece, bite by bite...
Why the hell did they prepare so much? Is this afternoon tea for the nobility?
Feeling a little tired of eating, he poured himself a cup of black tea and drank it all in one gulp.
There will probably be a big battle next, so it’s better to eat and drink enough before the battle.
He looked at the cup and suddenly laughed, "Oh, we used the same cup. Your future husband won't be angry if he finds out, right?"
Elizabeth had no intention of entertaining the Bernstein family properly, so naturally she would not prepare any extra cups.
There was only her special cup on the table.
But Wu Ji didn't mind sharing a cup with a woman, especially a beautiful woman.
"Ah."
Hearing his strange tone, Elizabeth just glanced at him and made a brief sound as a reply.
It's a little awkward, but nothing serious.
After all, he is the head of the family and won’t care about these trivial matters.
She was ready to destroy the cup completely as soon as he left, out of sight, out of mind.
"Why don't you answer my question? Or..."
Wu Ji gave a strange smile: "Who are you waiting for to break in and rescue you?"
"!"
Elizabeth's plan was exposed, and she immediately jumped back three meters.
He raised his fists and made a starting gesture, with a faint blue light emitting from his fists, guarding against the attack that Wu Ji might launch at any time.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not a bad person."
"The real enemy is the other guys."
Wu Ji ate very quickly, and the desserts that Elizabeth had been planning to enjoy for the whole afternoon were finished by him in just a few minutes.
He stood up, clapped his hands to clear away the food crumbs, and asked, "Do you feel that it's so quiet around here?"
"It's like... being covered by some invisible giant hand, completely isolated from the outside world?"
Elizabeth's pupils suddenly narrowed, and only then did she realize how eerily quiet the surroundings were.
The sounds of the wind, birdsong, and butterflies fluttering their wings all disappeared.
It was quiet, and the only sounds that could be heard were the breathing and heartbeats of the two people, and Wu Ji's indistinct voice as he chewed his food.
It was so quiet that it felt like they had reached the end of the world, with only the two of them left.
"what have you done!"
She immediately suspected Wu Ji, this suspicious man, and her face was full of suspicion.
"I've already told you that I'm a good person and I'm here to help you."
Wu Ji extended his right hand and invited him gentlemanly, "Why don't you go out and see what's going on outside?"
Elizabeth walked out of the rose archway of the small garden with doubt, and was on guard against Wu Ji behind her as she walked.
But the moment she stepped out of the arch, it was as if she had entered another world.
A thick and sickening smell of blood and a burning smell came over her, and she came to the legendary scorching hell.
Behind him was a quiet and peaceful green garden, and in front of him was a bloody mansion with even the threshold soaked in blood.
"Cough, cough, cough."
The foul smell after burning made the young lady cough uncontrollably.
The discomfort in breathing was nothing. What she saw shocked her greatly.
There are no living people here, only death.
The old butler who had just brought Wu Ji in was lying at the entrance of the small garden. There was a bloody hole in his chest, his heart and lungs were exposed, and he had lost his life.
At the last second before his death, he wanted to inform Elizabeth and ask the head of the family to flee the area immediately!
"Butler Ah Fu!"
She immediately squatted down to check on the old housekeeper's condition, and the result... was obvious, he was dead.
"How, how could this happen!"
Elizabeth watched as blood covered the walls and the bodies of the servants and maids were thrown randomly aside, burned into charred skeletons by the flames.
Fire, death, countless lives died here.
Just by stepping out through the archway of the small garden, her world was turned upside down.
She ran forward frantically and saw the uncle with a long beard who had argued with her a few days ago about whether to keep Ash behind, lying at the end of the long table, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
His silver staff was broken in two, and the sharp broken end was deeply embedded in his own throat.
She saw the old lady being strangled by the pearl necklace she was wearing, rotting on the carpet like a piece of fat. Her nails were tightly gripping the carpet, her expression was extremely terrified, and she wanted to escape from this place before she died.
All the dead remained in the posture of crawling towards the gate, wanting to escape from the mansion in their last moments.
At this moment, the carefully arranged flames were spreading along the pre-planned route, methodically devouring every corpse and every piece of evidence.
The crystal chandelier collapsed, the winding mahogany staircase was collapsing, the hanging portraits of successive family heads were twisted and deformed in the fire, the flames climbed along the silk curtains, the surface of the marble columns began to peel off, revealing the steel bars inside that were baked red by the high temperature.
So what if it has been passed down for thousands of years?
In the fire, all these traditions will be reduced to ashes.
No more, nothing left.
Elizabeth finally understood why no one rushed in to deal with Wu Ji even after she pressed the alarm for so long.
Because everyone is dead!
It is impossible for a dead person to respond to the call of the head of the family.
"It's you! You did it!"
Elizabeth turned around suddenly, her eyes full of hatred, and the blue light in her hand was terrifyingly bright.
Wu Ji was certain that as long as he answered "yes" at this moment, she would rush up and tear him to pieces with all her might.
He spread his hands: "It's obviously not me. I've been with you the whole time."
"Besides, this is only the second time we've met. There's no reason to do this."
"Besides, aren't you surprised? Why didn't we notice anything in the small garden? It's like we were separated into another world... Hey, listen to what people are saying. It's very rude to just turn around and walk away."
Elizabeth had no time to care about these things. The only thing in her mind was her brother.
"Ash, please don't get into trouble!"
She ran like crazy towards the room where Ash lived.
Another fire!
The fire destroyed everything in the Crimson family, and now it's going to destroy her family too? ! ! !
"Ash!!!"
"Oh!"
She rushed through the sea of fire and pushed open Ash's door.
Fortunately, my younger brother was safe and sound, standing blankly at the table flipping through something.
"That's great, it's really great."
"I'm so glad you're okay."
She suddenly hugged Ash and burst into tears.
Ash seemed to be frightened and didn't move, with Elizabeth still holding him.
"Tsk."
Wu Ji, who came next, looked like he was waiting for a good show.
This stupid woman, how long will she continue to deceive me?
This cute little boy's face and body are all covered in blood. Even ordinary people can sense the murderous intent surrounding him.
His eyes met Ash's.
He saw very complicated emotions in the other person's eyes.
Cold-blooded, ashamed, unbearable, painful, struggling... Then Wu Ji watched Ah Xiu nod at him.
Wu Ji: “?”
Why are you nodding at me?
What? Are you trying to frame me?
I'm not in the same group with you!
"...How long are you going to hold a murderer like me in your arms?"
Ash finally spoke, but his words left Elizabeth confused.
His body was stiff and extremely cold.
"W-What murderer? What are you talking about, Ash!"
"This place is about to burn down. Let's get out of here!"
She took her brother's hand and left as if to protect him.
Ash pushed Elizabeth away mercilessly, with an indifference on his face that she had never seen before.
This is indifference to life, indifference to humanity, and a hint of hostility towards the old enemy.
"Isn't the fact obvious?"
He tilted his head and nonchalantly picked at the blood streaks between his fingernails. "I set the fire at the Clemensen family's house."
"I killed him."
"I set the fire in your house today."
“I was the one who killed him.”
"What those people said that night was right. After I destroyed the Clemson family, I came to destroy you, Blanquettesh."
"You and I have never been on the same page."
"Brother or something...stop disgusting me."
Chapter 237 The game is over
Wu Ji now only regretted why he didn't leave some snacks for himself, otherwise he could have watched the drama closely while entertaining himself.
The house is now full of fire and corpses, so there's no chance of finding snacks.
"W-What are you talking about, Ash?"
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment, looking at her brother blankly, her face pale.
But he quickly found an explanation himself: "Are you scared silly?"
"It's okay, it's okay, I will get you out alive."
She tried to grab Ash with her stiff arms, but this time she was met with—
"Special move: Wind and Moon!"
