126: Chapter 126 Alice's Doll Tea Party 19

The pocket watch looked cheap, its metal casing dull and gray. However, there were no scratches on the casing, showing it had been well preserved.

Opening the pocket watch, there was a note inside that read— "My dear, I will clear all obstacles for you!"

My dear?

Among all the information Luo Yuejian knew, the only ones who could use the term "my dear" were likely the engaged couple, the Princess and the Marquis.

It seemed this was a clue regarding the Princess, and the subject of the pocket watch was the Marquis.

Should she show this pocket watch to the Little Girl with a Crown? Luo Yuejian pondered internally, but a moment later, she cast the thought aside.

There was no need; this clue couldn't help her complete her task, so why do something unnecessary?

If she gave this watch to the Little Girl with a Crown, and the Little Girl with a Crown mistakenly thought she was trying to curry favor with her, or thought her target was someone else, wouldn't that ruin her plans?

Thinking of this, Luo Yuejian immediately dismissed the idea. She might as well use that time to think of something else.

Luo Yuejian told herself she couldn't just slack off like this. With her heaven-defying luck, who knew what she might find later.

She still needed to court death.

This round of the game didn't seem to offer many opportunities to rely on in-game mechanisms to actively seek death. Therefore, the best way to successfully complete her task was to provoke murderous intent in the other players towards her.

At first, Luo Yuejian's idea was to find the Little Girl with a Crown and have that girl kill her. But suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning.

Wait, that's not right? Why must she lock her target onto that Little Girl with a Crown?

Since the other players were completely ignorant of her task, she could perfectly well hint to every player that her task was to kill them!

Wouldn't that make the other players want to strike first and eliminate her for the sake of self-preservation?

Holy crap, she was a genius!

She did it as soon as she thought of it. Luo Yuejian didn't waste any more time on the 5th Floor and headed straight downstairs.

To make it easier to bluff the other players, Luo Yuejian deliberately avoided the Little Girl with a Crown, skipping the 4th Floor and heading towards the Third Floor instead.

The space on the Third Floor was relatively small. The hall looked like a place for chatting with friends, with three sofas of different sizes surrounding a coffee table. To one side was a burning fireplace, the crackling of sparks emitting a "pop" sound, exuding a sense of peace and tranquility.

Looking further inside, there were some rooms with closed doors; she didn't know what they were specifically for.

Luo Yuejian stood at the top of the stairs, unable to see anyone at a glance. Unsure if there were no other players on this floor or if they were inside the rooms looking for clues, she decided to go check the situation.

However, it didn't take Luo Yuejian long. Just as she opened the door to the room nearest to her, a door not far away opened.

The man with the emerald heard the noise and poked his head out to check the situation, immediately spotting Luo Yuejian as she was about to enter the room.

And Luo Yuejian also happened to see The man with the emerald.

Her eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "Found you!"

Those cold, deep eyes stared at The man with the emerald, with undercurrents surging and murderous intent seemingly lurking.

In an instant, The man with the emerald felt his hair stand on end. The feeling of being watched by a predator made his spine chill instantly, and his intuition screamed of danger.

Almost without hesitation, The man with the emerald turned and ran. A flash of horror crossed his eyes, and the thought in his mind was crystal clear—The White-haired Girl's target was him!

Just like his own task, The White-haired Girl's task was absolutely to kill him!

Run, he must run immediately!

The man with the emerald knew very well that the strength of this White-haired Girl was definitely not something he could contend with alone. To survive, he had to find someone to team up with!

But the most urgent task was to leave this place immediately.

To escape, he naturally had to flee via the stairs, but since Luo Yuejian was actually the one closer to the stairs.

In order to escape successfully, The man with the emerald did not hesitate to consume an item while fleeing, erecting a stone wall in front of Luo Yuejian.

Then he shot away like an arrow from a bow, disappearing at the top of the stairs.

Luo Yuejian: ?

She watched blankly as The man with the emerald fled in a panic, completely bewildered.

What was going on?

Luo Yuejian found it absolutely inexplicable; she hadn't even said anything yet, so why did this guy just run away??

She stood there, dumbfounded for a while, before realizing belatedly...

Her goal... it seemed she had achieved it...? Looking at the state of The man with the emerald, it seemed he had already assumed that she wanted to kill him?

Although she didn't know why The man with the emerald had come to that conclusion...

But it seemed fine...? A black cat or a white cat, if it can catch a mouse, it's a good cat.

Luo Yuejian relaxed at once. Not caring about what kind of thought process The man with the emerald had, she prepared to continue finding other players to put on a show.

She slowly squeezed through the gap in the stone wall blocking her path, thinking about where The man with the emerald had just run; it seemed he had run upstairs.

Decided, then she would go stroll downstairs.

Luo Yuejian strolled downstairs leisurely. She wasn't in much of a hurry now. Besides her, out of the five players, two already believed that Luo Yuejian's target was them.

Luo Yuejian only needed to bluff three more, and she could successfully achieve the status of public enemy number one!

Come on, Luo Yuejian, you can definitely do it!

Humming a little tune in her heart, Luo Yuejian arrived at the Second Floor of the castle.

The Second Floor of the castle mainly had two areas: the study and the archives on the outside, and the conference room further inside.

When she came down, she happened to see Old Man with a Cane taking a book out of a filing cabinet.

Hearing the movement behind him, Old Man with a Cane turned his head. Seeing that it was Luo Yuejian who had come down, he was a bit surprised, "Have you finished checking the floors above?"

Luo Yuejian's attitude was indifferent, "No."

Her goal wasn't to clear the game in the first place, so naturally, she didn't care about the clues in the game at all.

However, Luo Yuejian hadn't figured out how to mislead Old Man with a Cane yet, to make him also think that her target was him.

Therefore, she did not deliberately approach Old Man with a Cane, but instead asked casually, "Are you the only one on this floor?"
