419. Chapter 419 Finding a needle in a haystack


[The character Xiaoduo is now online]

The luxurious and simple castle is not only airtight, but even a trace of light cannot penetrate.

Zhong Ning felt extremely oppressive as soon as he arrived in this environment. He felt that this expensive place with a diamond chandelier hanging above his head and rare gemstones everywhere, was like a coffin decorated with rare things.

Yes, it’s a coffin!

It is filled with extraordinary luxury that everyone yearns for, but people cannot live in it.

With this feeling, Zhong Ning became inexplicably afraid of this beautiful but gloomy place.

As soon as he stepped forward, a basin of water was kicked over by him.

An old voice then sounded, "Flower Eater is on top!"

"Xiaoduo, why are you absent-minded? Tomorrow is the day when the master has an appointment with Count Mellis once a month. You need to mop all the floors to be spotless, you know?”

“Look at the dirty water soaking the floor!” Ah Fu exclaimed while avoiding it nimbly. That pool of sewage.

Before Zhong Ning could react to the situation in front of him, Ah Fu reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

“Xiaoduo?”

Zhong Ning then lowered his head and saw Ah Fu’s appearance. His old face was covered with ridges, and his messy white beard almost covered most of his face, as well as those Red eyes that can steal the attention of others with just one glance.

Zhong Ning held back his shock. None of the rubies in the castle that he had just observed in a daze were as brightly red as these eyes.

This person...is not a human being!

Zhong Ning made a judgment immediately.

“Why are you so surprised?” Ah Fu shook his head, “Xiao Duo, you are not in good condition lately, do you know?” Fu bumped into her, her harsh temperament..." Ah Fu said and suddenly lost his voice. He glanced at Zhong Ning sympathetically, and then said silently.

"Eve is here, wish for good luck."

After saying that, he patted Zhong Ning on the shoulder and left.

Zhong Ning's back was covered in cold sweat. Although this was his first mission to perform a mission to scare the cave, he had already heard about the horror of the cave.

He had no way of estimating the consequences of revealing his identity in such a copy where he needed to play a role.

An old man left, and a more powerful woman came... Zhong Ning didn't understand anything about the situation now, and he really didn't know how to fool him.

[It has been detected that all the characters are online, and the character-specific side missions have been started. Please check it carefully]

[This copy is divided into black and white parties. Players are at peace. Your lineup is ——"Pure White"】

[Win condition: Complete the reasoning before the "pure black" member of the lineup]

[Character Xiaoduo, side mission: Make the maid Eve satisfied with you, mission reward: Forbidden place in the middle of the night Rose】

Zhong Ning froze on the spot, completely confused.

Is this mission reward purely for roses? What use are roses to him?

Even ignoring the mission rewards, this side mission is a bit too harsh... Zhong Ning raised his head cautiously and looked at the woman walking towards him step by step with a serious face.

The head maid Eve, he had just heard from his grandfather that she was a strict person...

The dirty water flowing out of the basin was still flowing slowly on the floor.

Zhong Ning was already prepared to be scolded, but he watched the head maid Eve step on the dirty water without changing her expression.

Huh? !

This reaction... there is an answer ready to come out in Zhong Ning's heart.

"Maid maid!" Zhong Ning made a prompt decision and called out to test.

But Eve didn’t respond! She even walked past him with no expression on her face.

Zhong Ning became even more convinced, and the next second he spoke urgently: "Explorer!"

Eve turned back suddenly, staring straight at him with a pair of emotionless black eyes, Zhong Ning hesitated and said: "Hei...Minister Hei Cha?" Those dark eyes softened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course, this is gentleness from the perspective of Minister Black Tea. Even if she tries her best to maintain the softest expression to outsiders, she will still look cold to others.

Eve said coldly, "Zhong Ning."

Zhong Ning immediately blinked his eyes and his face turned red, "How did you know it was me?"

"First of all, only you and Dr. Bai will call me Minister Black Tea. Secondly..." Eve paused, "Doctor Bai won't talk like you."

"That's great... "Zhong Ning couldn't help but sigh, "I was quite scared when I couldn't find everyone when I came in." He showed a small smile, "I didn't expect to meet you, Minister Black Tea, so soon."

"Minister Hei Cha, what is your mission?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hei Cha looked at him suspiciously, "Are you really Zhong Ning?"

This rhetorical question actually made Zhong Ning Ning hesitated when he asked, "Yes...yes?"

Hei Cha narrowed his eyes, and there was actually a sense of oppression that belonged to the original head maid.

“Then you ask what my mission is? Everyone’s role is different, and the mission is naturally different. There is no need to share this kind of thing with each other.”

Zhong Ning said "Ah", "But my mission is related to you, Minister Hei Cha. The valet Xiaoduo needs to be approved by the head maid Eve."

"Is this so?" Hei Cha Wai She tilted her head, then cleared her throat and said expressionlessly: "Then I approve of you."

Zhong Ning waited expectantly for a while, but no sound sounded.

"Minister Black Tea, you don't really approve of me, do you?"

Zhong Ning looked serious, "You have to sincerely approve me. We can't play tricks with Frightong."

Hei Cha frowned sullenly, "Wait a moment."

She clenched her fists and began to take a deep breath. After a while, a notification sounded in Zhong Ning's mind.

[Character Xiaoduo’s side mission has been completed, mission reward: Rose in the Forbidden Land at midnight]

Zhong Ning’s joy stopped abruptly, what is this reward? He didn't get anything, and he didn't have anything extra in his hands...

Hei Cha opened his cold eyes, "Are you okay?"

"Okay..." Zhong Ning said cautiously: "The task has been completed, Minister Hei Cha, how did you do it?"

"Try to recall in your mind the scene when you cooperated with Minister Gao to display your abilities. "Hei Cha said truthfully: "We have just met each other not long ago, and we don't understand each other at all."

"That scene is the only one that impressed me deeply."

Zhong Ning listened. Completely nodded.

"How can I tell you the reason and you still look so depressed?" Hei Cha frowned dissatisfied.

"The mission is completed, but the reward... I don't understand what the reward is." Zhong Ning had a look of confusion on his face when he said this.

"The rose in the forbidden land at midnight... In what form will this reward appear?"

Black Tea didn't take it seriously, "At midnight, it's probably that the time hasn't come yet, you Don't worry, since players can help each other..."

"And the tasks between players are also likely to be connected. Your task has been completed now, and then you will mainly help me complete the task. At the same time, try to find other people."

"Do you have any objections?"

Zhong Ning immediately shook his head like a rattle, "Absolutely not!"

When he expressed his position, Black Tea opened the panel and checked the news on the team interface. The news that ten characters were online was clearly visible.

Elizabeth...Mellis...Arnold...

"Fortunately, with this reminder, the evil boy Dr. Gao Changbai will only be among the remaining eight people, so we won't find a needle in a haystack." (End of this chapter)
