Chapter 137 Angelina's Tea Party 5

The next second, a huge, trembling eyeball suddenly peered through the crack in the door and locked eyes with her!

The pupil of that terrifyingly large eyeball had dilated due to excitement, becoming almost as large as the eyeball itself, and it was visibly trembling. Lin Xiangjun could clearly see its pupil, along with the twisted, writhing worms within it.

At that moment, Lin Xiangjun couldn't even breathe; her heart had briefly gone on strike for a split second.

A jump scare—the cheapest, most cliché, yet most effective method of scaring someone—dear horror movie directors.

"What are you looking at?"

"Are you hungry? Are you tired?"

"Do you need help, Guest? I can help you. I brought a lot of food; I'm here to deliver your meal! I brought enough food to ensure you won't feel hungry anymore!"

"Open the door, Guest, I'm here to deliver your meal! Open the door!"

"Are you not hungry? Do you not want to eat? I know being hungry is very uncomfortable, so hurry up and open the door!"

"Guest! Guest! Guest!"

The Black Bow Tie Servant's voice carried an excited tremor.

What good luck. It caught one piece of food, and now a new one has arrived. Food, food, an endless supply of food.

It frantically grabbed the doorknob, preparing to enjoy this hard-earned feast once it broke through the door—

However, just as its hand pressed down, before it could even apply any force, the door creaked open.

The Black Bow Tie Servant froze.

This was the first time it had opened a door so easily.

"? Did this silly Guest actually not lock the door? Did it not resist? Why was it so easy this time?"

It had sensed something wrong, but the hunger that tortured it endlessly soon suppressed this trivial doubt and unease. A greedy hunger resurfaced on its face, and it smiled, pushing the door open to welcome its steaming hot lunch.

Unfortunately, what greeted it was not a woman's scream or fearful struggle, but a cold, biting flash of light that struck down before it could even react—

...

"...Can you stay still? It's very difficult for me if you keep struggling like this. Be good, it's just the last cut. It won't hurt once it's over. Bear with it, just a second."

"Mmph! Mmph mph! Mmph!!"

The Black Bow Tie Servant struggled angrily, but it had already lost an arm and was tied up with rope, so it could only writhe like a maggot.

However, it didn't writhe for long.

Although its constant struggling made it inconvenient to make the cut, Lin Xiangjun's technique was superb. She seized the moment, and with a swift stroke, a leg fell to the ground with a thud amidst a whimper.

"Alright, that's enough, stop screaming, it's over."

She brushed the non-existent dust off her hands, packed the arms and legs into plastic bags, and prepared to go out and feed them to Patrick Star.

The Black Bow Tie Servant just glared at her resentfully, but unfortunately, its mouth was sealed tightly with plastic bags and tape, so it could only make muffled, indistinct sounds.

She could have just finished off the Black Bow Tie Servant, but she hesitated when she was about to strike.

How many Black Bow Tie Servants were in this mansion? She wasn't sure about that.

What if this was the only one? If she finished it off now, what would she do if she needed to ring the bell for help later and no one was there?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lin Xiangjun decided to remove one of its arms and one of its legs. This would weaken its mobility and resolve current and future potential dangers, while still ensuring the Black Bow Tie Servant retained enough mobility so that if she really needed help, she wouldn't be completely alone.

What? How would it walk with one leg?

If it can't walk, can't it hop? She had left its right leg and left hand; if all else failed, it could use a crutch. It wouldn't affect anything, not at all.

After finishing the surgery, Lin Xiangjun thoughtfully untied the rope to ensure its movements wouldn't be hindered, and incidentally took out a crutch and handed it over.

"You'll have to get used to walking like this from now on. Here, this is for you. Don't go scaring people next time."

Lin Xiangjun was almost moved to tears by her own thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

As for whether the Black Bow Tie Servant was grateful? It didn't matter; as long as she felt she had done her part, that was enough.

The Black Bow Tie Servant was left in the Guest room.

Although it had no restraints, it was very difficult to adapt and maintain balance after suddenly losing a leg and an arm. A threat? Did she really expect a cripple to come and attack her?

The sack was still at the door.

The sack was tied up quite perfunctorily; Lin Xiangjun didn't even need to open it to see what was inside.

It was a woman in a twisted posture, curled into a ball, wearing a white nightgown with lace. Her head was twisted to the position of her lower back, and her feet were turned around and resting on her stomach.

There was no blood on her, and the exposed skin was snow-white. However, there were some stains on the fingers resting on her head, looking like sauce or food residue.

Additionally, the biggest problem with this Guest was that she was too thin.

Her whole body was practically just a skeleton. The bones of her chest and collarbone were exceptionally prominent, and her waist was so thin that the shape of her internal organs could be seen—faint, twisted intestines, and a stomach that had expanded to an abnormal size.

This kind of complex, expensive clothing didn't look like it belonged to a Servant. Combined with the fact that Angelina was holding a tea party, this person should be a Guest who had been invited.

It looked like a very painful way to die, but there was no expression of pain on the deceased's face. She was just frowning, her mouth open, with unswallowed food residue between her yellowed teeth.

In short, it was a disgusting and tragic state of death.

Lin Xiangjun tied the mouth of the sack shut and threw it into the Guest room where she had just been.

"The Black Bow Tie Servant kept tempting me with food earlier, saying I must be very hungry and wanted to eat... Was the Guest in this sack also lured by the Black Bow Tie Servant because of hunger? Are all these Guests this hungry?"

There are two rules regarding Guests.

【6. Servants all wear white bow ties and are silent. If you see a Servant wearing a black bow tie and with tea stains at the corners of their mouth, please stay away. They are Guests, or at least they once were.】

【8. Do not accept any food given by other Guests, especially when they are overly enthusiastic; they might just want to "share" their fate with you.】

"...The Black Bow Tie Servant used to be a Guest. What made it turn into a Servant?"

"If these Guests are all hungry, and even get lured by others because of hunger, then how could it bring out food to tempt me? Sharing fate... would I become like them if I ate their food?"

Lin Xiangjun paused, then turned around and walked towards the living room.

She felt that compared to rashly exploring the study without knowing anything, exploring the living room was clearly a wiser decision.

There were the White Bow Tie Servants, who were the safest ones so far. Perhaps she could inquire about the situation of the other Guests from those White Bow Tie Servants, and perhaps she could indirectly obtain other clues.
