Nan Bei stepped forward and opened the room door with the key.
The light from the burning card illuminated the entire room. Opposite the door was a bed. To the left was a wardrobe, and in front of the wardrobe stood an antique mirror.
The mirror's frame was adorned with intricate patterns, and the dark red wood looked textured. It resembled a piece of antique more than a simple mirror.
Habituated to checking their reflection, Zhan Ying stepped forward and tidied her hair.
Then Shen Yu said, "Let me check, see if my hairstyle is messed up."
Nan Bei also examined himself in the mirror.
Zhu Zhu Zhu gazed at the mirror, feeling a strange sense of aversion.
The mirror made her profoundly uncomfortable.
Why would that little fellow lead them to this mirror? Was there anything special about it?
"The mirror is quite beautiful, a shame we can't take it. What's the clue for the mission?"
Nan Bei shook his head.
They searched the entire room, but apart from the mirror, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
"The first point was directed at this mirror. Why don't we take it with us!"
"No," Zhu Zhu Zhu felt this mirror was up to no good. "Let's go out first."
The others, thinking she had foreseen some danger, immediately tensed up. "What's wrong?"
Zhu Zhu Zhu stared at the mirror without speaking.
Nan Bei followed her gaze and was startled.
He didn't know if it was his imagination, but the moment he looked at the mirror, the Zhu Zhu Zhu reflected in it was smiling.
Yet, she had been expressionless just moments ago.
"Alright, let's get out of here quickly."
"But the clue..."
Nan Bei nudged Shen Yu. "They might be playing us. There's no clue here."
Only a peculiar mirror.
The others had no choice but to follow them out.
Upon returning to the first floor, they began discussing their next destination.
"There are six more points, located on the seventh floor, the fourth floor, and here. Two on the seventh floor, three on the fourth floor, and one here. Where do we go next?"
"How about we start from the top?"
The group then began to climb the stairs.
They encountered another group that had also entered the castle.
It was a team of eight. The two parties exchanged a brief glance and then moved on.
Many believed that this game had a mortality rate, and all players were adversaries. They typically did not share information with each other.
Unless there was a benefit to be gained.
Clearly, at this moment, they did not need any benefits from each other, nor did the other party need theirs.
As they passed, Zhu Zhu Zhu's gaze fell upon an inconspicuous man in the other team.
Nan Bei followed her line of sight, a look of confusion on his face.
"Wait."
The other group immediately stopped and turned towards them. Their leader spoke with ill temper, "What do you want!"
"Did you see that mirror?"
It was a question, but stated as a fact.
The leader's eyes glinted fiercely as he stared at her. "What's it to you?"
Zhu Zhu Zhu remained silent.
Nan Bei was about to take out a card to conduct some business, but she stopped him.
"It's nothing, sorry to have bothered you. You may go."
The other group cursed and turned away, leaving.
After they had gone some distance, the others, puzzled, asked, "Miss Jiang, why did you ask them?"
Zhu Zhu Zhu smiled. "To confirm something."
She didn't reveal what it was, and since Nan Bei didn't take the lead, they didn't press further.
"Let's go," she said, leading the way.
Zhan Ying reminded her, "Miss Jiang, the stairs are this way."
"I know, we're going to the fourth floor first."
Zhan Ying looked at Nan Bei, who had a thoughtful expression. "Listen to her."
Thus, they raised no objections and continued to follow.
She walked at the forefront, with the burning card in the middle and the others behind.
As they rounded a corner, footsteps suddenly rushed towards them. Before the people behind could react, a figure slammed into her embrace.
"Save me!"
Then he fainted.
Two men followed close behind. Seeing that there were many of them, they took a look and turned to run.
"This..."
Zhu Zhu Zhu, holding the person who was delicate and soft in her arms, felt quite satisfied.
She picked him up and turned to the others, saying, "Let's go."
Her tone sounded quite cheerful.
"Miss Jiang, do you know this person?"
"Yes."
They all felt this coincidence was a bit too much.
However, Zhu Zhu Zhu did as she pleased, walking ahead with the person in her arms.
The person in her embrace felt a little cold, but was very soft, just like his body in reality. His skin was fair and delicate, his features exquisitely handsome, and his lips beautifully shaped, perfectly suited for kissing.
He's faking being asleep so well, truly adorably so.
Zhu Zhu Zhu gently hugged him. Her hand inadvertently brushed past his hip, and the person who had been soft moments ago instantly tensed up.
Zhu Zhu Zhu: "..."
She retracted her earlier thought about him being a good actor.
This was clearly just a silly little fellow.
