Dream

Everyone's expression changed, Sheng Qingqiao even gagged, seemingly trying to vomit up what she had just drunk.

Seeing their expressions, Wang suddenly laughed.

"I was just kidding," Wang Le said. "What's with those looks? You actually believed me?"

"I just had some too, and I'm not afraid, so what are you servants afraid of?"

Qin Rang dispelled the Colorless Fire that Wang had prepared to throw at his face, and chuckled as he echoed his sentiments.

"Yes, yes, young master is right."

The group hadn't stayed there long when the Countess arrived with her entourage.

They were rescued by Noble Attendant, Young Master was held in the arms of the lady, who repeatedly ordered others to find Doctor for the Young Master.

Qin Rang the servants out by the Count and Countess and brought them to the living room. Other servants who had been hiding in the Secret Passage were also dragged out and thrown into the living room. A group of armed Noble Attendant watched over them, preventing them from leaving.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Mi Chuchu whispered to Tang Pin beside her, "This looks like they're trying to silence us."

Tang Pin said, "There's no doubt about it, this is to silence them."

Luo Jiayu asked, "What should we do then? Can we run away?"

"Let's see," An Ying said. "We won't be executed so quickly; the main culprit hasn't been apprehended yet."

From afar, Qin Rang heard the Countess's suppressed sobs, and the Count was bent over as if comforting her.

The Countess was probably lamenting her son's untimely death. After all, he was her own child, and even though she seemed to prefer her eldest daughter, the death of her other child was still painful.

The crying sounded a bit fake.

The Count, however, did not seem so distressed; his face showed more anger than sadness.

Everyone in the room could see right through their emotions.

Darren and Kane, also young, sat nervously beside Wang. After finally understanding what had happened, they patted their chests with lingering fear, thankful that they hadn't been targeted by the Eldest Miss.

If Second Young Master is going to die, then what about these two illegitimate Illegitimate Son?

"Will the Eldest Miss be sent away by Father and Mother this time? She killed Second Older Brother and committed a terrible crime." Darren was a boy with brown eyes. He spoke with his nose tilted up and his eyes always had a fawning smile.

Wang, with her eyes closed, said, "How could that be? Eldest Sister will always be Eldest Sister. She'll be alright."

Darren seemed to be deep in thought. It's good to have power; if you kill someone, even your own brother, you won't be punished.

Seeing that Kane was so calm he was almost asleep, Kane couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "You were almost killed by her after she locked you up, how come you weren't scared at all?"

Wang opened his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of?"

"No matter what, I am still my mother's child. If I kill one of my Second Older Brothers, she might only be slightly punished, but if I kill two, my Eldest Sister will also pay the price."

"She'd rather keep one alive and kill them slowly."

Kane and Darren couldn't help but mutter to themselves, "Is killing them absolutely necessary?"

Wang looked up at the two men, not answering their naive question, "So, between my Second Older Brother and me, only one of us can die tonight."

In the end, it was the Second Older Brother who died; the Second Older Brother was the more "threatening" one.

Kane seemed lost in thought. He had only been brought back to the Count's Estate two years ago, and had been virtually invisible there for those two years.

I originally thought that pleasing my parents would bring me status and money, but it hasn't worked out after all this time.

He had to admit that he was inferior to the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Miss, and even the least noticed Wang was far more outstanding than him.

Looking back now, he realized that the Eldest Miss's status and position in the family were even higher than he had imagined. Rather than hanging himself on his father and mother's shoulders, he might as well take advantage of her influence.

If he could establish a connection with the Eldest Miss, he wouldn't have to worry about being kicked out of the Count's Estate one day.

Having tasted the sweetness of power in the Count's Estate, he found it difficult to return to his previous life.

Darren wondered to himself, who would win between the Eldest Young Master and the Eldest Miss?

He had no ambition, no desire to fight for power or profit, and only wanted to live a peaceful life, hoping not to offend anyone.

Or perhaps... the ultimate winner will be this seemingly harmless Young Master who always manages to escape from his Eldest Sister's clutches?

The two men were unaware of the secret thoughts of the Calamity Crossing Squad. After they had searched the surrounding area and found that they could not leave, they knew that their death was imminent.

Seeing the Eldest Miss abuse and kill servants and her own brothers would be extremely damaging to the dignity of the nobility if word got out.

Once the Count and Countess had calmed down, their first priority was to deal with the witnesses, those who might have spoken out.

Gathering them all here now is definitely not for appeasement, but to silence them.

Qin Rang and the others tried to leave, but the Rules prevented them from escaping the encirclement.

The Evil Ghost Mask can grant immunity to Rules, but Qin Rang dares not use it now.

Luo Jiayu used Weird Object that could reduce its presence within a certain range to surround everyone.

"A dead end." Tao Yuan said while using the Bubble Machine to heal An Ying's wounds, "This situation is certain death, unless we manage to evade the Eldest Miss's pursuit in the Secret Chamber and then escape from the Castle Secret Chamber numerous spies."

"How could that be possible? Our mission would fail if we left the Castle," Tang Pin said.

Tao Yuan said, "Then let's take advantage of the time we still have and search around here to see if there are any other clues and trigger more Dream Points."

"Last time we needed ten Dream Points to Death Rewind, this time we'll definitely need more."

Sheng Qingqiao, Luo Jiayu, Wang Ding, Bai Ao, and Mi Chuchu all had Items to reduce their presence and searched the hall separately.

"Qin Rang, how did you die last time?" Tao Yuan called out to Qin Rang, who was also looking for clues.

Qin Rang recalled the second chapter. He originally intended to find the Butler and the Young Master, along with Bai Yang, but somehow he fainted and was already dead when he woke up.

Upon hearing his answer, Tao Yuan affirmed, "That Young Master's abilities are strange."

Qin Rang said, "It's like incitement; he's most skilled at manipulating emotions."

Tao Yuan shook his head. "I can't quite put my finger on what his ability is, or perhaps it's not his ability at all. Sometimes the Instance here make my memories feel a bit hazy. I don't know if it's due to the backtracking or the influence of some kind of Rules."

Qin Rang shared this feeling. "He doesn't seem to be on the evil side yet, so we still need to be more cautious."

"Good."

The others searched the entire area immediately, but found nothing.

As time dwindled, everyone's expressions grew increasingly tense, until Sheng Qingqiao suddenly asked, "I have a question. Are we in a dream or in reality right now?"

"If it's a dream, is it possible to find Dream Points within a dream?"

A single word awakened me from my dream.
