The Fourth Loop

The Countess and the Count ultimately ordered the execution of all those who knew the truth.

Consciousness left their bodies, and they saw "their" bodies lying in pools of blood, buried in the Garden.

[Fourth Loop has begun]

The surrounding environment suddenly flickered and changed rapidly. The feeling of weightlessness caused Tao Yuan to close her eyes uncomfortably to alleviate the dizziness.

When I opened my eyes again, there was that familiar table and people in front of me.

Tao Yuan covered her chest with her hands, breathing heavily, feeling the warmth of being alive.

In the Third Loop you're in a dream and can't gain Dream Points, death won't be a real death.

The Eldest Miss was sitting opposite her, and everything happened naturally.

Having learned from their experience, they completed the task diligently this time and safely passed the first night.

The next day passed uneventfully. They didn't find the Second Young Master's room, but they found an old photograph in the Young Master's room. The blurry figure in the photograph was the Second Young Master.

The next night, the group did nothing but dig up the body in the Garden.

Bai Yang muttered to himself as he dug in the dirt with Shovel, his face long and sullen. "Every time I go on a mission with you guys, we're either running for our lives or on our way to do one. And now, here I am, digging in the dirt. If word gets out, my colleagues will laugh at me to death."

Tao Yuan was also huffing and puffing as he dug a hole with Chainsaw, shook the dirt off his hands and face, which were splattered with mud, and said, "I think our image has been completely ruined since we met your organization."

"Same here." Bai Yang said, then looked up at the bones scattered on the ground. "How many are buried underground? Are they all being dug up?"

Qin Rang pondered, "At the very least, we should dig up the bodies of the monsters we encountered last night. Finding their bodies and then finding the people who killed them should be enough to crack those undead monsters."

Wang Ding held a whip and looked around, examining each corpse carefully, fearing that they might suddenly rise up and bite them like they did yesterday.

"You just said that you witnessed many things in the Previous Loop and knew that all these people were killed by the Eldest Miss."

"If we tell the Count and Countess that she's the murderer, will we be able to leave the Instance?" Bai Yang asked.

"Logically speaking, that's correct," Qin Rang said.

"Then why aren't you leaving?"

Mi Chuchu held up a mangled corpse and handed it to Sheng Qingqiao, who pieced it back together into a human shape. "The problem is we can't find the Count and Countess; they haven't returned yet."

"So even if we find the murderer, it won't work. We also need to make sure we can survive in the Castle at night." Qin Rang plopped down on the ground, exhausted from digging all night; his back and hands ached.

They searched the surrounding area thoroughly, and the corpses and new clues brought them a total of 20 Dream Points, enough for them to die again.

"Let me rest too!" Seeing Qin Rang rest, Bai Yang immediately lay down, and the Doll around him, all covered in mud, also collapsed next to him.

Luo Jiayu curiously poked the little Puppet's belly with her fingertip, only to be impatiently swatted away by the Little Cat Puppet.

"Do you really think the murderer is the Eldest Miss?" Bai Ao asked, leaning closer.

Tang Pin and Tao Yuan both glanced at him and said, "You actually believed it just because you said it casually?"

Seeing the complicated looks in their eyes, the Bai Ao snorted and returned to where it had dug the hole, "I didn't believe it!"

"Yes, yes, you're the smartest." Sheng Qingqiao said sarcastically, not daring to admit that he had actually believed her just now.

While digging the hole, Tao Yuan said, "Many people died at the banquet we saw that day. Since the banquet also appeared in the form of a dream, it means that the closer to that point in time, the more people die."

"Although we didn't see most people's faces clearly, there are a few scenes I remember very clearly."

An Ying coldly added, "That woman who died standing up."

"Yes," Tao Yuan said, "Judging from her attire and figure, she seems to be the Eldest Miss."

Tang Pin asked doubtfully, "Is it possible that you are playing the role of Miss Du En from the Dune Family?"

"It's not impossible, but do you remember? In the banquet hall, there were two people who died on the Throne. They must have been the Count and Countess, who were the Master."

Who could kill them, who would hate them, or even despise them?

[I see!]

What do you understand?

We must find the murderer before the Count and Countess die! Otherwise Countess, after killing Count, the killer will simply go wild!

[That's easy. Everyone else is dead. If the Eldest Miss is also dead, then the murderer is either the Eldest Young Master or the Young Master.]

The chat was buzzing with discussion, and the members of the Calamity Crossing Squad were also speculating about the killer. Although Wang was behaving suspiciously, he hadn't actually killed anyone so far.

Although he was not favored and was often suppressed by others, the Count and Countess treated him well. Their lives were not as affluent as those of the Eldest Miss and Eldest Young Master, but they were not bad either.

He actually had no motive to kill.

After discussing it for a while without reaching a conclusion, the group continued digging.

After exhuming most of the corpses, the Bai Ao used his Weird Object to match the corpses with the strange creatures one by one.

Overnight, they returned all the corpses they could find to the monsters. Upon seeing their own corpses, the immortal monsters became truly aware of their own deaths and lost their "immortality." The empty shells of the monster corpses simply rotted and dissipated.

After completely resolving these strange occurrences, it was already the early morning of the third day.

They rested briefly for a few hours, and when they woke up again, they were disturbed by the arguing between the Eldest Young Master and Eldest Miss.

Qin Rang and the others, who lived on the second floor, were the first to hear the commotion and came downstairs, hiding on the stairs to look down.

The dining table downstairs was deserted. The two Illegitimate Son were dead, and none of their guests were there. Only the Eldest Miss, the Eldest Young Master, and the Young Master were at the table, with the Butler standing beside them.

The Eldest Young Master smashed the plate on the ground, and the contents of the plate bounced off the blanket and landed some distance away.

"You killed Kane and Darren, and now you want to kill me?" The Eldest Young Master pointed at the food on the ground, furious. "If it weren't for Wang reminding me that the food on the plate looked off, I'd be the one lying on the ground right now!"

"Now that things have come to this, are you abandoning the pretense and going to kill me directly to inherit this title?"

The Eldest Miss sneered repeatedly, "You believe everything he says? Is it so hard for you to check if there's poison here? What would I gain from killing you now?"

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to." The Eldest Young Master said coldly, his stern face resembling that of the Count. "You killed Darren, and fearing I'd hold a grudge, you killed Darren yesterday, and today you're here to kill me."

The Eldest Miss didn't refute his statement; he was right, that's exactly what she thought.
