Lucky One, Whose Wish Was Granted

Since they entered the castle, in less than a day, two of the nine people have already been killed.

One was cut in half at the waist, and the other was burned to a crisp. Fortunately, because they had both been turned into dolls, the scene didn't look too bloody. After all, few people would feel fear from destroyed dolls, especially since the people gathered here were all Elite Player.

"You want to start a war?"

Before Bai Zhi could reply, Steel Bones frowned first.

"But we are still..."

"Hey, looks like you guys are all up pretty early?"

Wearing a yellow hoodie and with his hands in his pockets, Fireworks of Romance was the last to descend the spiral staircase.

When she saw the burned Doll hanging in the middle of the hall, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace.

"It looks like we're one person short again."

Good morning, you seem to be the last one up.

Turning to look at her, March-shi smiled and spoke.

"Your room is right next to the Colorful Black room. Did you hear any noises coming from next door last night?"

"A sound? No, I always sleep very soundly at night, and I don't have the mind to care about such trivial matters."

She walked straight past everyone to the Sofa and sat down. Completely unconcerned about her image, she put her feet up on the Coffee Table in front of her, then habitually pulled a Lollipop from her pocket, unwrapped it Fireworks of Romance, and put it in her mouth.

"You guys keep talking, don't mind me."

"... Instead of continuing to argue about this issue that is bound to lead to disagreement, why don't we first check out his room?"

Despite being turned away at the place of Fireworks of Romance, March-shi didn't seem to care at all. He turned around and continued speaking.

"Judging from Mountains and Seas's description, the Colorful Black man should have died this morning. Perhaps some clues can be found in his room..."

Is it necessary?

With a cold expression, Fengxi’s Bone interrupted March-shi's words.

"Within this castle, are there many beings capable of turning him into a toy? Given that the Murderer is known, is it meaningful to search for clues that are practically impossible?"

"But even so..."

"Don't you understand? If this continues, I'll be the next one to die. I have a bad feeling about that."

Fengxi’s Bone coldly.

"I don't want to die, and I especially don't want to be turned into a doll and die in such a ridiculous way, it's that simple."

"In that case, you actually have a better option."

Bai Zhi glanced at Fengxi’s Bone, his expression noncommittal.

"Let's leave the castle, go back to the Mirror Maze, then go through the Mirror Maze and leave Rose Manor... Anyway, we've already got the minimum points for the basic Walkthrough, so theoretically we can leave now. What do you think?"

"I can't get through the Mirror Maze by myself; it would be possible if you all came together."

Fengxi’s Bone spoke softly.

"Two people have already died, are you going to continue...?"

"No, you can't leave this manor without Anna's permission, or the Curse will strike you."

As that light, airy voice rang out, Anna, with her dazzling golden hair flowing behind her and dressed in a bright red dress, gracefully descended the stairs.

When she realized that everyone's eyes were on her, Anna lifted the hem of her long dress with hands and gave them a graceful bow.

"Good morning, Prince Your Highness. And the other guests, did you sleep well last night?"

"Hmm... very nice, there isn't even a mosquito here, I slept very comfortably."

Bai Zhi reached out and touched his chin, then nodded with a deep expression.

The other guests. "..."

"That would be perfect."

A sweet smile appeared on her face, and Anna twirled in front of Bai Zhi, lifting her skirt.

"Prince Your Highness, do you like this dress? Anna specially changed it for you."

"Hmm... actually, I think white suits you better."

After carefully examining him from head to toe for a moment with his arms crossed, Bai Zhi nodded.

"A white dress would actually be the best match, while red wouldn't quite work. I suggest you go for white instead."

"Um... Prince Your Highness, please wait a moment."

After a moment's thought, Anna lifted the hem of her dress with hands, turned around, and hurriedly ran upstairs.

The other guests, ignored by everyone else, simply said, "..."

"Does having a high Charisma really offer these benefits?"

Seeing this scene before him, Steel Bones was moved once again.

"If I continue to focus on enhancing my Charisma in the future..."

What is your initial Charisma?

The Dead Zero, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

"Uh... eight o'clock."

After a moment's hesitation, Steel Bones nodded.

"But my Teammate all say I look quite masculine, maybe some Anomaly just like me..."

"Half-crippled Charisma, give up."

Turning his head again, the Dead Zero casually tossed out a short comment.

Steel Bones: "..."

They didn't have to wait long; a few minutes later, Anna, now dressed in a white dress, came downstairs again.

"Prince Your Highness, how do I look in this outfit?"

Anna lifted her skirt and looked at Bai Zhi with an expectant expression.

"Hmm, very good, much better than the previous outfit."

Looking at the cute blonde loli in a white dress in front of the book, Bai Zhi nodded solemnly.

"In that case, Anna will only wear white dresses from now on~"

Anna, clearly pleased with the affirmation, then reached out her hand to Bai Zhi with an expectant look.

"Prince Your Highness, would you like to attend the tea party with Anna?"

"Uh... cough cough, let's talk about what happened yesterday first."

Noticing the murderous gazes behind him, Bai Zhi coughed lightly, made a fist, and spoke seriously.

"Of the eight... seven people who made wishes yesterday, which one's wish was granted?"

"I almost forgot, I'm here to announce this..."

Suddenly realizing something, Anna turned to look at the others. When her gaze shifted from Bai Zhi, the happy smile on her face vanished quickly, replaced by a polite smile. She unfolded the papers in her hand and began to speak.

"Let Anna announce the lucky winner from last night. His wish will be granted, for it is Anna's Gift, based on the names you each left on the envelopes yesterday... Is the Colorful Black there?"

--She was met with deathly silence.
