Saying One Thing, Meaning Another, Birthday Banquet
A mirror appeared on the wall.
This should be the exit from the room.
Evil Mouth didn't know how the rules were determined, just in case, he decided to protect the ordinary person in the room.
Ordinary people are fragile and timid.
From Evil Mouth perspective, the fact that this ordinary person could refrain from shouting when faced with such a bizarre event shows that he is a calm and intelligent person.
"Hey, what are you doing so far away!" The Evil Mouth never spoke kindly to ordinary people.
Therefore, even if his inner thought was to live in harmony with this "friend" in this unknown Ghost Domain, and prevent the rules from causing any more trouble,
But when he opened his mouth, his tone still carried a hint of ferocity.
If it were any other ordinary person, they would probably have some doubts.
But Shen Yu could see through Evil Mouth's words, found it somewhat amusing. He remembered that the character he had initially created for Wei Tai wasn't so hypocritical.
However, character design is only a reference. Human personality is inherently multifaceted. These characters, created by him and endowed with intelligence by the system, are already considered to be truly alive.
Shen Yu stepped forward and stood behind Evil Mouth.
"We've encountered an unusual event and have been drawn into a strange, Ghost Domain Ghost Domain, where rules are paramount."
"Anyway, stick close to me."
After thinking for Evil Mouth, Eko decided to selectively recount their current situation.
This also shows that Shen Yu remained relatively calm in the Evil Mouth, and that speaking these words could prepare people mentally for what was to come.
"Strange? I get it." Shen Yu honestly played the role of an ordinary person who knew nothing and was innocently dragged into it.
The distance was reduced.
The strange emotions emanating from within the body became increasingly pronounced.
Evil Mouth the discomfort, he stepped into the mirror.
Before him stood a medieval castle.
Evil Mouth raised an eyebrow. "Are we still in the Ghost Domain?"
That's true. If a monster could easily let food leave, it wouldn't be a monster.
What came before was probably just an appetizer.
Evil Mouth also works in intelligence; his hacking skills are only inferior to those of the Bai Zuo." If he were on Blue Star, he would easily defeat the entire Inner World.
He was considered one of the more intelligent people.
Upon seeing the castle, he immediately thought of the game background mentioned by the staff at the haunted house.
And they instantly connected them, using the story to find the rules of the Ghost Domain.
"So that's what a mirror is."
"This is the true Ghost Domain; that previous room was perhaps just the surface world."
However, Evil Mouth was certain that if he hadn't entered the Ghost Domain through this mirror, he might have been trapped and died in that room.
This situation is quite unusual. He still can't determine the opponent's level, so he can only follow the opponent's rules and find loopholes or flaws in them, or simply conform to the rules to win.
Whichever he chooses to do, it will be an unpredictable and tough battle.
In battles between supernatural beings, especially those of similar levels, the outcome is difficult to predict.
The strangeness that Wei Tai suppressed was only outstanding in terms of mental aspect, but there are many strangenesses that can restrain it.
Like this strange creature, it never shows itself. Even if Wei Tai possesses a strange creature with the ability to influence other people's emotions, he still needs to see the other person, right?
Let's go inside the castle and take a look.
The castle gates opened automatically as they arrived, as if to warmly welcome them.
The long, dark corridor inside the door looked like a bottomless maw, waiting for its prey to walk into its trap.
Fortunately, neither Evil Mouth nor Shen Yu were intimidated by this.
The two stepped into the castle.
The gate behind them slammed shut with a heavy thud as they stepped into the castle.
Suddenly, a row of dark figures appeared silently on both sides of the castle.
The shadowy figure gradually solidified, revealing a human form. As the human form became clearer, it became apparent that the people standing on both sides were armored guards carrying spears.
Some servants, dressed simply but in above-average quality, walked through the castle corridors.
The castle seemed to come alive the moment they stepped inside.
The servants carried many fruits and pastries. "Today is Miss Lilith's birthday. His Highness the Duke has ordered that a grand birthday banquet be held to celebrate Miss Lilith's birthday."
"His Excellency the Duke truly adores Miss Lilith."
"Miss Lilith looks like an angel; it's hard for anyone not to like her, isn't it?"
"I quite like Miss Lilith too. She's neither willful nor does she lose her temper with us servants."
Those people seemed oblivious to Evil Mouth and Shen Yu.
They went about their own business.
The banquet was held in a large hall in the middle of the castle.
The Duke invited all the nobles in the territory to celebrate Lilith's birthday.
Many people came, and the banquet was filled with richly dressed nobles.
Today is my beloved daughter Lilith's birthday.
Thank you all for coming to this banquet. Let's enjoy it and bring laughter to Lilith!
The Duke valued Lilith highly.
The banquet was very well organized.
The nobles also presented gifts and their congratulations with smiles on their faces.
Lilith stood on the high platform, looking down at the nobles in the hall through the railing.
Mary, the maid, stayed by her side.
"Miss Lilith, would you like to go down and talk to them?"
"You're the main guest at this banquet, and the other nobles have also brought other young ladies with them. Perhaps you could speak with them?"
At the banquet, there were many noble ladies of similar age to Lilith, dressed in beautiful gowns and strolling around with smiles on their faces, like melodious larks.
Compared to Lilith, who could only stay inside the castle, they possessed a freedom that Lilith envied.
However, Lilith's status and wealth are perhaps what others also aspire to.
"No."
Lilith said, "Anyway, they'll never genuinely be my friend."
This was not the first time the Duke had thrown a birthday party for her.
When Lilith hosted her first banquet, she was filled with curiosity as she saw the noble ladies who were her age.
But after she came into contact with those people...
She discovered that they were only willing to communicate with her because of the Duke.
Behind her back, Lilith also overheard them saying that she was originally just a descendant of a low-ranking nobleman, but the Duke took a liking to her simply because she had a pretty face.
