Quite Distinctive

Is this the same ability that made the Little Bai Yang who used to sew Dolls stitch by stitch?

[I've grown up too fast. I feel a pang of bitterness. How come I'm still such a noob?]

[I didn't see clearly, how did it turn into Puppet?]

[I have a question, what would happen if we burned this Doll right now?]

[Didn't you see? Bai Yang said there were only ten minutes, which means this Doll is just a tool to trap the strange body. Burning it will definitely release it.]

The Mud Weird has disappeared, but other monsters are still relentlessly chasing and gnawing at them. No matter how hard they try to stop their actions, they cannot completely eliminate the crisis.

"These Servant Weird, so why are these four the only ones I can't kill?"

After binding each of the body parts to a pillar in the hall, Tao Yuan stood with his Wristband in front of a head, examining it closely. "This head that split off is Kane... right?"

"It should be. His headless corpse was still wearing the clothes he wore for dinner that night." Mi Chuchu squatted down in front of the corpse and casually opened the armor mask on his face to take a look.

"I don't recognize the one climbing on the wall, nor the one with its body split into three pieces. And this guy is another Illegitimate Son, right? I remember his name is Darren?" Tao Yuan scanned the group and began to identify them.

Bai Ao reached out and tugged at the clothes of the woman who had been torn into three pieces, then took a half step back to examine the whole body. "This woman, torn into three pieces, is dressed neither well nor poorly, so she must come from a decent family. Could she be one of the other servants in this Count's Estate?"

"The servants are all wearing work uniforms." Tang Pin looked at Tao Yuan, "I actually strongly suspect... this woman is that mistress."

"That's possible," Wang Ding said. "I didn't see her outside during the day; she shouldn't be from this Castle."

Qin Rang stood to the side listening to their discussion. Although the words passed through his ears, they didn't register in his mind at all.

In the past, he would have definitely discussed it with his teammates, but now even just standing here was exhausting all his energy.

He shook his head violently; the mad babbling of the mask in his mind had corrupted his thoughts, so he had to try to grab the mask off his face and rip it off forcefully.

The mask gnawed firmly at the flesh on his cheek; the harder he pulled, the tighter the mask gripped, and he could even hear the sound of his own face being torn apart.

The excruciating pain and the sudden intensification of his delirium made his fingers tremble, his grip loosening, and the Evil Ghost Mask bit down even harder on his face, the eerie blue flames burning even brighter.

Qin Rang's heart pounded wildly as an unbelievable truth began to surface.

He frowned, just about to tear the mask off with all his might, when Bai Yang's face suddenly appeared next to his ear, startling him so much that his grip on his fingers gave way.

What are you doing?

Qin Rang slowly lowered his arm, his voice as usual. "It's nothing."

"Oh." Bai Yang reached out and shoved the Eldest Miss's Doll in front of his face, blinking his big eyes. "Do you want it? Here, take it."

Qin Rang reached out and took the Doll, immediately seeing through his intentions. "You gave it to me because you were afraid she would suddenly revive, right?"

"Hehe." Bai Yang didn't deny it, only patted his shoulder, "You have the power of immunity to Rules, so it's safest to entrust her to you."

Qin Rang, who could no longer remove his mask, smiled and said, "Thank you."

Meanwhile, Tao Yuan and the others didn't notice Qin Rang's unusual behavior; she was still worrying about the strange creatures tied to the pillar.

Tang Pin said, "So, they should all be dead now, killed not long ago?"

"Could it be that the Castle at night and the Castle during the day operate on different time zones, and we might be facing their corpses from the future?" Mi Chuchu's thoughts wandered.

"It's not that simple. The Eldest Miss we encountered in the first episode was also covered in mud, back when Eldest Miss was still alive," Tang Pin said.

"Should we look for a safe room here now? The Doll will wake up in a few minutes."

"Can't we just hide in any room?" the Bai Ao asked.

"Young Master Bai, how long has it been since you participated in Instance?" Tao Yuan glanced at him sideways. "Getting trapped in a room will only make you die faster."

Bai Ao indeed doesn't participate in Instance often, so having his words cut off, he could only purse his lips and remain silent.

A brief silence fell over the hall. Tao Yuan belatedly noticed the unsettling quiet and was about to say something when a faint light suddenly appeared from the Corridor.

"What... are you doing?"

Someone lit a candle, closed the door, and emerged from the darkness.

Mi Chuchu and the others instinctively stood up and stepped back, while Tao Yuan gripped the Chainsaw again, activated its power, and aimed it at the ball of fire.

"Why are you all running around outside so late at night instead of sleeping?"

The firelight gradually brightened, revealing a familiar face.

The Young Master, dressed in a loose, comfortable gray sweater, came out yawning and rubbing his eyes.

Upon seeing them, his gray eyes opened wide in the darkness, appearing large and round.

She doesn't look like she just woke up and is still sleepy at all.

Tao Yuan and the others took a large step to the left in unison, hiding the corpses on the pillars behind them, and put on fake smiles.

"Haha, we... couldn't sleep, so we're just looking around. This Count's Castle is huge." Tao Yuan chuckled dryly, hiding the Chainsaw behind his back. "Young Master, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Oh, I was woken up, so I came out to see what was going on." Wang yawned again. "All these Castles look the same, unchanged for eight hundred years. Isn't your house the same?"

"Ah, yes, that's how it seems now."

"Since you're both alright, I'll go back and rest. Also, Miss Tao Yuan, Miss Tang Pin, your clothes... are quite exquisite."

After saying this, the Young Master turned and left, holding up the candle.

They came suddenly, and they left just as suddenly.

Watching his retreating figure, Bai Yang muttered, "This Young Master is quite amazing. We're so obvious to him, and there's a pile of servants' corpses on the ground, yet he acts like he can't see us."

Tao Yuan asked, "Is it that you really can't see it, or are you pretending not to?"

"When you came down, did you see the other people from the Earl's Count's Estate resting in their rooms?" Tang Pin asked Wang Ding.

"No, the doors are all closed, we can't see anything." Wang Ding looked around. "Where are An Ying, Sheng Qingqiao, and Luo Jiayu? Haven't the three of them gone out yet?"

"Luo Jiayu is timid; she's probably still in her room," Tang Pin said.

"An Ying and Sheng Qingqiao must have encountered something else, otherwise they would have come over long ago, given their personalities." Tao Yuan looked again at the other strange creatures that were tied up. "Since all the lively things in this building are here, they're probably not in any danger."

"Speaking of which, yours is almost up, isn't it?" Tang Pin pointed to the Doll in Qin Rang's hand and asked Bai Yang.

Bai Yang glanced at it. "Oh, it's nothing, my Little Rabbit has already gone to find reinforcements."
