When I walked upstairs, a bloody smell hit me. I saw Wu Xuewen slumped at Wang Yaoyao's door, her face horrified, her hands trembling as she pointed at the room, "She, she, is dead..."

Ji Yuan and Qin Ye walked into the room together. Lin Qi and Li Miao hurried forward to help Wu Xuewen, who had collapsed on the ground. Lin Qi took the opportunity to glance at the scene in the room.

Wang Yaoyao was tied up with her head down and sat on a chair. She was covered in blood, and the ground around her body was also covered with dried blood. There were countless iron sticks stuck in her body, which was a shocking sight.

The whole scene was extremely terrifying, the atmosphere was frozen, weird and scary, as if time had stood still.

——Oh my god! Can you please not blur it out? It's a bloody mess!

——That’s right, it’s better not to play this game at all (-i_- )

The barrage of comments kept scrolling. Lin Qi looked at it and seemed to feel better. He knew that he was not the only one facing such fear.

Qin Ye walked forward with a serious expression, stretched out his fingers and gently felt Wang Yaoyao's pulse, then said coldly: "He has been dead for some time."

"What should we do now? Call the police!" Li Mu said in a trembling voice, looking at Wang Yaoyao's body in horror.

"Yes! Call the police!" Wu Xuewen, who was supported by Li Miao, hurriedly took out her cell phone from her pocket, but the next second, her face froze.

"No signal..." Song Jing looked at the phone in his hand with a serious expression.

Ji Yuan and Qin Ye also looked at their phones without saying anything, but from their expressions, it could be seen that there was no signal.

Lin Qi also looked at his phone, but there was no signal.

"What should I do! What should I do! How could this happen! Who wants to harm us? Wuuuuu" Wu Xuewen held her head and cried bitterly. Li Miao also hugged Wu Xuewen tightly and trembled slightly.

"Go downstairs first," Qin Ye said, and several people immediately came to the living room from the second floor.

"Why don't we go down the mountain?" Li Mu suggested.

Everyone looked out the window at the dark sky outside, the white snow, and the falling snow. They had taken a whole day's car ride to get here, and they didn't know if they could walk down the mountain alive. Everyone quickly rejected this idea.

"What should I do? My phone had a signal yesterday, why is it..." Wu Xuewen was about to collapse. She didn't know if it was because she was the first one to discover Wang Yaoyao's body, but now her emotions were very unstable.

"We can't leave in this weather. We can only wait for someone to find us and call the police..." Ji Yuan paused and said, "Besides, we don't know how Wang Yaoyao died."

"Haven't you noticed? From last night till now, no one has appeared in the castle, and even breakfast is placed directly on the dining table." Song Jing frowned on his elegant face. "This is very strange."

"Yes! I was the first one to arrive downstairs, and I didn't see anyone." Li Mu quickly agreed with Song Jing.

"This is a premeditated murder." Qin Ye said coldly. The atmosphere instantly froze and fear spread in everyone's heart.

[System, should I tell you about what happened yesterday?] Lin Qi hesitated.

[Host, please consider how to say this] 067 gave a suggestion.

"Um, last night when I was sleeping, someone knocked on my door..."

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at him.

"But, but I didn't open it, because he didn't say anything, and then he seemed to leave." Lin Qi was stared at by a group of people, and said nervously, just when he was at a loss.

"Good morning, everyone," the butler's voice suddenly sounded.

He stood at the stairs on the second floor, looking down at the group of people downstairs as if he was looking down at a group of ants, with a playful smile on his handsome face.

Seeing the housekeeper appear, everyone was excited. Li Mu immediately said, "We are going home now. Could you please call a car for us?"

The housekeeper heard Li Mu's words and said with some distress: "You may not be able to leave now. Madam has lost a necklace. Madam cherishes it very much. She needs your help to find it."

"If anyone finds it, Madam will reward him!" said the butler with a smile. His tone was gentle, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Something happened to someone, we have to leave! Go call the police..." Wu Xuewen said with a sob, her voice full of fear.

"Who wants to help you find the necklace! We need to leave here..." Li Mu was almost mad, and walked towards the housekeeper while speaking.

When I was halfway there, the chandelier on the ceiling suddenly became loose, making a creaking sound, and it seemed like it would fall down at any moment.

"Be careful!" Lin Qi immediately warned Li Mu loudly after seeing this, a nervous look on his face. However, it was too late.

"Ah!" Li Mu's right shoulder was hit by the falling lamp. He screamed in pain and his body fell to the ground involuntarily.

"Don't get excited, everyone." Seeing this scene, the butler raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a strange smile. "I hope you can find the necklace soon."

Looking at the current scene, everyone understood that something was wrong with this castle. They looked at each other in confusion, feeling uneasy.

"What kind of necklace is it?" Song Jing's elegant face frowned, his voice filled with dissatisfaction and confusion: "If you want us to find the necklace, you have to tell us what it looks like, right?"

"Pearl Necklace," the butler said, looking at Song Jing.

"Oh, by the way, everyone, please gather in the hall immediately when you hear the pendulum sound."

The butler continued, "Okay, everyone, please go ahead. If you have any questions, you can come to me in the study on the third floor." After saying that, he turned and left the room.

However, just before the butler left, he deliberately glanced at Lin Qi who was standing beside him.

Lin Qi felt the butler's gaze, but did not show any abnormality.

As the butler left, silence fell in the room, and everyone was thinking about what had just happened.

It was said that whoever found the necklace would be rewarded, but now there are so many people and there is only one necklace, so they are all competitors.

Lin Qi sat on the bed and began to think about how to find the necklace. After the housekeeper left, everyone returned to their rooms in silence.

"How can I find it in such a big castle, and I don't even know the specific style of the necklace." Lin Qi frowned, scratched his hair irritably, and complained to the system.

Just then, there was a slight knock on the door. Lin Qi looked up in confusion, wondering who would come to see him at this time?

He walked to the door and opened it. When he saw the person standing at the door, his face immediately tightened.

Seeing that it was Ji Yuan, Lin Qi wanted to close the door immediately without hesitation, but Ji Yuan quickly stretched out his arm to block the door. He pushed the door open and rushed into the room.

Lin Qi stared at the man with round eyes and asked warily, "What are you doing here?"
