A Very Good Relationship

Tao Yuan and the others quickly found cover and took refuge. After the continuous Silver Arrows stopped, the only survivors on the field, besides them, were the servants who were so frightened that they could only kneel on the ground and tremble.

Wang, the Eldest Miss, the Eldest Young Master, and the Count Countess who rushed back were all pierced by Silver Arrows.

You have failed.

In a flash, the sky around them darkened, and they found themselves back at the Castle gates. The nine of them stood neatly outside, the torchlight flickering on their faces.

"This..."

Qin Rang wanted to speak, but the Castle gates had already opened by themselves, and the familiar banquet scene appeared before them once again.

Once again, death unfolded in the banquet hall, and they were shot to death by Silver Arrows once more.

[Start of Chapter 5]

Returning to the first day, all nine of them looked around, somewhat bewildered, as if drawing their swords.

After regaining her Tao Yuan didn't continue having breakfast with the Eldest Miss, and thus didn't meet with Wang.

Qin Rang and the others didn't waste time splitting up to search for clues bit by bit. They regrouped and planned their next move.

"What happened at the Racetrack after I left?" Qin Rang asked the group.

An Ying said, "The Eldest Miss and the Eldest Young Master were exhausted and took a break during the break. The Young Master went up to hand them water, and after saying a few words, the two of them started arguing."

"Then the Eldest Miss killed the Young Master and the Eldest Young Master, and was then shot to death by an arrow."

Qin Rang rubbed his temples, his head aching. "I saw the Count and Countess, but they died before we could even exchange a few words. This failure was due to the complete annihilation of the Rivenhall Family. We couldn't save a single person; the murderer killed everyone, which led to our defeat."

"I guessed so," Wang Ding said.

"So who killed him? Do you have any leads?"

Tao Yuan said, "We don't know who it was, but it couldn't be the Young Master. He was sitting next to me at the time, and he was killed by the Eldest Miss so early on. We suspected the wrong person at first."

"At least in retrospect, the person who killed them may not have been a member of the Count of Ravenhall's Family Clan, but may have been connected to the other dead servants, Illegitimate Son, and others."

Qin Rang pondered, his brow furrowed. "That afternoon we were busy with things at the Racetrack, did any of you see where Bai Yang went?"

"I know!" Luo Jiayu recalled, "I saw him talking to Wang in the Garden, but I didn't know what they were saying. After they finished, Bai Yang went back to his room and didn't come out until we left."

An Ying said, "I asked Bai Yang, and he said he couldn't trigger the Dream Points, nor could he see our dreams. His memories are the same as the memories of each playthrough we have. Perhaps the people from the organization never entered the Instance under normal circumstances."

"Although he didn't have to start over, he wasn't surprised at all by the fact that there were these several iterations."

Tang Pin said, "It's normal that he knows."

Luo Jiayu said, "Their intelligence is very impressive."

Sheng Qingqiao nodded in realization. "If we compare us to players, then they are tourists (unregistered players)?"

"You could say that," Qin Rang said. "Tonight we'll meet the Writer and Bai Yang, and we'll also see that Black Cat. We shouldn't stay together then; we should separate and follow them and the rest of the Ravenhall."

"Keep a close eye on those people who are going to be killed by the Eldest Miss tonight. Let's try to see if we can stop them from dying."

"Good."

At that moment, Wang was drinking tea and reading in the Garden. He had just seen Bai Yang off and lowered his eyes. When he noticed the faint gaze behind him, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Father was right, these people are really skilled. With such tracking ability, even he would have had a hard time detecting them in the first place if he hadn't been on guard and constantly paying attention to his surroundings.

Judging by the time, the Protagonist Group have reached the fifth episode. The fact that they are now choosing to track and monitor each other indicates that he has a good understanding of all other sources of information here.

I wonder if they'll be able to guess the title this time?

Wang turned the pages of the book, his fingertips gently stroking the pages as he rested on the edge of the teapot. Beside his elbow lay a familiar diary.

Qin Rang spotted the conspicuous diary at a glance.

On the previous occasions, when Wang was stabbed by the Eldest Miss and went to receive treatment, he did not take his diary to the Garden to read, but instead left it in a drawer in his room.

This time, Tao Yuan didn't continue eating breakfast, and the Eldest Miss, who had lost interest, quickly left. Wang was also spared from any unwarranted trouble, which gave him time to sit here and read his diary.

The blank diary that Qin Rang later saw in Wang's room should be the one he has in his hand now.

Although the diary he saw was blank and there were no signs of it being torn, the marks on it made him remember it for a long time.

His gaze slowly settled on the diary. Could it be that the one beside him actually had writing on it?

We need to find a way to get it over and take a look.

Wang was so focused on reading that Qin Rang couldn't find a chance to steal his diary.

About an hour later, Kane passed by the Garden and greeted Wang.

"How are things between you and her?" Wang closed the book and tilted his head to ask.

"Shh!" Kane's expression immediately changed. He looked around nervously, and only relaxed when he didn't see anyone.

He waved for the servants behind him to leave before sitting down beside him and saying, "My Young Master, please keep your voice down. If she finds out, she'll definitely skin me alive!"

"Everyone knows my Eldest Sister's personality, yet you're still so bold. I thought you weren't afraid," Wang said.

"Well... I can't help it!" Kane said. "Don't let it slip."

"I definitely won't say anything, but didn't the Eldest Young Master see you that day?" Wang said. "If the eldest brother knows, then the Eldest Sister will find out sooner or later. You might as well take the initiative to tell the Eldest Sister. At least it will seem like you're being honest, which is better than the Eldest Sister finding out on her own."

Seeing that Kane and the two had met Wang Ding was following Kane, also used Weird Object to sneak up to Qin Rang's hiding place.

Wang Ding whispered, "Captain, Kane just went out to see that woman, giving her gold coins, clothes, and jewelry. When he came back and saw the Eldest Miss, he acted all lovey-dovey. He's quite busy."

Qin Rang nodded. "Make sure they're well taken care of. Try your best to save them. If they don't die, let's see what the Eldest Miss does tomorrow."

"Good."

Kane exchanged a few words with Wang and then left. Perhaps out of worry and guilt, he left in a hurry.

Wang Ding followed him away, continuing to track him.

Soon it was lunchtime, Qin Rang saw the Butler bringing lunch to the Young Master.

The Butler seems to treat the Young Master very well...

Qin Rang recalled that wherever the Young Master was, the Butler was usually there as well.
