Conditions for Leaving Rose Manor

With the help of several people, the half-charred Doll was quickly and completely destroyed.

As a result, the hall, which had been cleaned earlier, was now a complete mess again.

"You use your fists too?"

Looking at the Crimson-Gray Gauntlet on Steel Bones's hands, and putting [Radiance] back into his Inventory, Bai Zhi asked him with great interest.

"I even taught Iron Blood his Military Boxing, so why can't I use my fists? I'm his Instructor."

Rolling his eyes, Steel Bones's words still carried a hint of resentment stemming from the comments about his half-crippled appearance.

"But this thing is really weird. My Strength of over 30 points was almost suppressed. If I had been hit head-on..."

Looking at the pool of black ash at his feet, Steel Bones shook his head.

"Strength of over 30 points..."

Comparing his current Strength attribute, which was just over 15 points, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

Bai Zhi glanced at Fireworks of Romance, who was sitting on the Sofa taking out bandages and bandaging her wounds by herself, and then kindly squatted down in front of Fireworks of Romance.

"How are you? Do you need any help?"

Five clear finger marks appeared on the pale skin where the arm had grabbed the other person's ankle, with a faint bluish-purple tinge, which looked quite frightening.

"I think I said yesterday, don't meddle in my affairs. Sometimes, if you take kindness too far, it can bring you utter disaster."

The Girl in front of him looked up at him, her eyes showing no gratitude whatsoever.

"I can handle that kind of situation. Don't think I'd be grateful to you for something like that."

"You're overthinking it. I was just Kill Steal. Do you even know what stealing a kill means?"

Bai Zhi rolled his eyes.

"The better you perform in the Dungeon, the more points you get. If I didn't attack and you got the kill all by yourself, and I didn't assist, it's a one-sided win. If I stole your kill, you got the assist, and I got the kill, it's a win-win situation."

"... I hate owing people favors, but I'll repay this favor to you later."

Looking at the serious-looking person in front of her, she was inexplicably speechless. After a moment of silence, Fireworks of Romance turned her head away sullenly.

"... So that's your reason for using your Ultimate Skill to instantly Low Health ADC?"

He also realized what was happening, and Steel Bones looked utterly exasperated.

They were clearly the righteous party offering a helping hand to extricate themselves from the crisis, but because of what this guy said, they were suddenly accused of taking advantage of the situation...

He's certain that in MOBA Game, opponents have done this countless times: using their Ultimate Skill to instantly Low Health enemies and steal their kills.

"ADCs have to farm minions and get kills, it's so tiring, they can easily exhaust themselves. Shouldn't we share the burden with ADCs?"

Shrugging, Bai Zhi stood up from the ground.

"Isn't a win-win situation better? People who try to take all the benefits for themselves usually don't end up well. Times have changed, don't you know that?"

"..."

Steel Bones put his boxing gloves back into his Inventory, indicating that he didn't want to deal with this guy.

Shrugging, Bai Zhi turned his gaze towards Anna.

"Anna, if the wishing opportunity is extended, who will be the Lucky One?"

"Hmm... let me take a look. I've got it, it's 'Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas'."

After glancing at a piece of paper that appeared out of nowhere, Anna nodded.

Does the universe exist Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas?

"Uh... I'm here."

Among the crowd, hands were raised Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas.

"Great, congratulations, your wish has come true."

Anna put down the papers in her hand and smiled as she spoke.

"Did it really happen!?"

Upon hearing Anna's answer, the eyes of Between Heaven and Earth’s Mountains and Seas Jian Li immediately lit up.

"That's right, Anna never lies."

Faced with the expectant gaze upon her, amidst the Mountains and Seas, heavens, and earth, Anna smiled and nodded.

"By the way, considering your safety, the following information is provided free of charge. The morning is free exploration time; you can freely roam the castle and its Castle Perimeter. However, please remember not to venture into the Forest rashly, otherwise the Curse on you will erupt and turn you into Doll."

"So we don't even have the right to leave... I understand."

Fengxi’s Bone was gloomy.

"No, that's not right. You actually still have the right to leave, but you have to meet certain conditions. There are three conditions for leaving here, and you only need to meet one of them..."

Anna beckoned upstairs, and the giant Plush Cat gracefully leaped down from somewhere upstairs.

"So, do you need me to tell you the conditions for leaving here?"

Anna climbed onto the Plush Cat's back with apparent difficulty and looked down at the crowd, asking a question.

"If anyone needs to know the specifics of the three conditions, I can tell you them all. Anyone want to know?"

"..."

Fengxi’s Bone did not choose to answer.

"Prince Your Highness, if you have some free time, you can come to the rooftop for Anna's Tea Party. Anna will reserve a seat for you until the party ends."

After waiting a few seconds without receiving a response, Anna turned to look at Bai Zhi and gave him a sweet smile.

"I think my parents will really welcome you."

"Hmm... I'll go if I have time."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi waved to the other person.

Ten minutes later, at the restaurant.

Since the lobby was in such a mess that it wasn't suitable for any discussion, the Players moved their gathering to the restaurant.

Just yesterday, this magnificent restaurant was packed with nine Player, but by this morning, only seven remained.

"I still maintain my stance; staying here will only lead to a slow death, so I've decided to take action."

After sitting down at the table, Fengxi’s Bone spoke first.

"If we act now, we still have a chance to fight one last time. But if our Teammate die one by one, and our Strength is gradually depleted, then it will be too late for regrets... Take those two deaths, for example. What value did their deaths have? Absolutely none!!"

"There's no point in discussing this now; let's exchange some information first."

Bai Zhi shook his head, his expression noncommittal.

"Also, respect for the dead is paramount."

"You..."

"Something very interesting happened to me last night..."

Without giving the other party a chance to speak again, Bai Zhi recounted the scene that had occurred the previous Past Reenactment, including the conversation between the two Maid, without missing a single word.

"What, do you want to explore the lost history of this castle?"

March-shi frowned slightly.

"No, what I mean is, we can go check out the Library inside the castle now. We're free to move around here, so maybe we can find some valuable clues there, like why this Rose Manor became so abandoned..."

Bai Zhi glanced around at everyone.

"Also, I wasn't the only one who encountered that last night, right? Didn't any of you experience anything like that?"

"There were footsteps outside the door, and the noise of a banquet downstairs, but then all the sounds disappeared with the ringing of a Bell Sound... It was roughly as you described."

Meeting Bai Zhi's gaze, March-shi pondered for a moment before nodding.

"That's about it, but I didn't choose to open the door to check. If we start with the lost history of this castle, or rather this manor, we might be able to find the truth."

"So, what do you think?"

Bai Zhi turned his head to look at Fengxi’s Bone.

The other person silently stood up from their chair.
