It took about an hour.
Lin Ye and Asuna walked around the villa twice, but they did not find any useful information outside. Everything was normal, without any unusualness.
If I didn't know that this was a strange dungeon mission world,
Asuna thought this would be a great place to relax and take a vacation.
Lin Ye pointed in the direction of the forest, and his meaning was self-evident.
Asuna nodded.
The two walked side by side in the direction they came from.
After walking about fifty meters, a shout was heard.
"Guest, guest..."
A female voice came from behind.
It was the maid's voice.
The two turned around and saw a silver-haired maid holding up her skirt, running towards them quickly, "Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo..."
The silver-haired maid panted, "Two guests, are you leaving the villa and going home?"
She seemed to be worried that the two were leaving.
"No, we just want to walk around the neighborhood,"
"So that's it."
The maid nodded as if she understood. "Please don't go too far, sir. I'm sorry, but this place is not very safe. There have been incidents in the forest, especially with wild animals. So I don't recommend you get too close to the forest. It's a bit dangerous for two people."
It is not desirable for them to go to the forest.
"We came over from the forest and didn't see any dangerous beasts."
The silver-haired maid smiled bitterly, "This also depends on luck. Wild beasts won't appear in broad daylight, but it's different at night."
"Thank you, we understand and we won't go."
Lin Ye thanked him, "By the way, Lisa, I wonder what happened in the forest you just mentioned? I'm a little curious."
Under the gaze of the silver-haired maid, Lin Ye continued, "I am actually a novelist. I usually collect materials for my novels through things I encounter in life and the experiences of people around me. I feel that what you said about 'something happened in the forest' can definitely provide me with a very good source of material for my novels."
After hearing this, Asuna said she didn't believe a word of it, but she admired Lin Ye's acting ability very much.
"I see. Actually... the one who got into trouble wasn't someone else, but me."
The silver-haired maid smiled awkwardly.
Lin Ye and Asuna looked at each other and smelled the scent of a new clue.
"Please continue."
Under the gaze of the two, the silver-haired maid continued to speak.
"I woke up one morning and suddenly found myself sleeping in the forest. I had no idea how I ended up in the forest and I had no memory of anything."
"Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, and I ran towards the villa in a hurry. I was very scared. I clearly remember that something was chasing me from behind. I ran as hard as I could, and even glanced back in fear, but I didn't see the figure chasing me."
"I think it's a wolf or a black bear!"
When Lisa explained it, her body was trembling slightly. Even now, when she thinks back on it, that fear still lingers in her heart.
"It's over, don't think about it."
"Thanks,"
Lisa thanked him, "So unless you are planning to leave the villa and go home, please try not to go to the forest!"
"OK,"
So the three of them returned to the villa.
"I'll take my leave now."
The silver-haired maid said goodbye, and the burly German Shepherd looked at Lin Ye and Asuna but did not come over on his own initiative.
Asuna waved in a friendly manner, but the German Shepherd turned and left, leaving only its back.
"This is……"
"It seems that you are not liked by it, Asuna."
Lin Ye looked at the direction where the German Shepherd disappeared, and couldn't help but think about the possible reasons for this change.
After passing through the garden, the two re-entered the villa.
The six of them regrouped in the living room.
"Hey, are you two back from your date?"
Asuna was already used to the teasing of passers-by, and did not take the initiative to respond to him, "Miss Leng, did you find anything?"
"The study on the third floor was locked. I tried to break in by force, but failed."
When the high school student heard this, he immediately said, "I, I'm stronger, next time I'll try to push it open." He also knew that he had to show his value.
"Haha," the passerby laughed, "This can't be opened by force, it's limited by the rules. Unless you have a key, or know other ways to open the door, it's impossible to just rely on brute force to break it in."
"So, that's how it is." The high school student was embarrassed.
"Nothing special was found in other rooms on the second and third floors. I have also checked the three rooms we live in, and the layouts are almost the same."
Having said that, Leng Shuang slid the two keys in front of the passerby and Lin Ye.
"Keep the key safe," she reminded.
"There's nothing to note on the first floor. The restaurant is big and can easily accommodate 20 to 30 people for dinner. The kitchen is also big. I found a lot of fresh ingredients, but I didn't eat them. But tonight's dinner should be very rich!"
Up to now, none of the veteran players have tried the tea and fruit provided by the maid.
When the maid brought the tea to the newcomer, the high school student tasted it himself. As for the career beauty Linlin, she was also planning to drink it, but when she found that the old players hadn't started, she quietly put down the cup and remained silent.
Just follow the old players and there will be no problem.
In fact, Asuna wanted to warn them when she saw it, but the high school students had already drunk it, so she swallowed her advice.
The possibility that there is a problem with tea and fruit is just a possibility, and this possibility is actually not very high.
Things have already happened, so there is no need to say more.
"Brother Ling, if you have any discoveries, please don't be so busy enjoying the flowers and the moon that you ignore our important matters."
A passerby said jokingly.
Asuna took a look and spoke, "We found two things. First, German Shepherd John is more friendly to guests. When he met us for the second time, he did not roar like the first time."
"But when we returned from outside the villa and looked at the German Shepherd again, it was neither enthusiastic nor barking. We couldn't be sure whether this was a normal reaction for the German Shepherd or whether we had violated some unknown rule that caused the German Shepherd's attitude to change."
German Shepherd John is the one who appears on the 'Reminder'.
Its behavioral changes also reflect the rules to a certain extent.
Players of them definitely need to pay attention.
"Another point!"
"When we left the villa and prepared to go to the forest, the maid appeared and caught up with us and persuaded us to return to the villa." Lin Ye said.
"So, I have a suggestion. After that, Asuna and I will find the maid and talk to her, while Miss Leng and the two of you, the passerby, team up to leave the villa and head for the forest."
Having said that, everyone understood Lin Ye’s purpose.
"no problem."
Information exchange completed.
Four players started operating, and the high school student was caught and used as a messenger.
Lin Ye and Asuna found the silver-haired maid Lisa who was busy preparing food in the kitchen on the first floor.
'Crash...'
'Crash...'
The potatoes were rinsed under running water.
"Do you need help?" Asuna asked.
"No, no, no, there's no point in asking guests for help."
"But you can't handle so many ingredients by yourself!"
"I can."
Lisa said firmly,
"But we still want to help you, give us a chance!"
At Lin Ye's request, Lisa finally gave in. "Then please help me peel the potatoes! I'll go take care of the other ingredients."
"Ok."
The high school student at the kitchen door, after being reminded by Lin Ye's eyes, immediately set off and sent a signal to Leng Shuang and passers-by.
The two old players immediately walked out of the villa gate and headed towards the forest.
But the two unexpectedly found a tall blond figure standing in front of them with his back to them.
Aggie Carter,
The eldest lady of this villa.
The girl who had not appeared since the first meeting in the afternoon and was suspected to be staying in the room on the fourth floor, now appeared in the wild outside the villa.
It's unreasonable and very abnormal.
Leng Shuang has become more alert.
"Miss Carter, out for a walk?"
"Yes, I stayed in the room all afternoon today. Now I came out for a walk to relax. Are the two guests also here to relax?"
"Yes,"
"Shall we take a walk together?"
Leng Shuang and the passerby looked at each other and accepted the invitation.
Maybe,
What new clues and information can they get from this blonde lady?
As for the test of the maid?
In fact, the purpose of their test has been achieved. When they left the villa but could not continue to the forest because of the appearance of the blonde lady, it showed that there was an invisible force preventing them from leaving the villa and going to the forest.
They could try to force their way into the forest, but that would definitely bring even greater backlash.
At this time when there is insufficient information and the situation is unclear, there is no need for them to take huge risks and continue to go out.
"What kind of man does Miss Carter like?"
Unlike Leng Shuang, the passerby took the initiative to chat. Relying on his shameless nature, he talked a lot and asked many questions that would easily cause disgust to normal people.
"It's definitely not a frivolous man like you, my guest."
"Ah! I, I'm not frivolous, I'm very shy,"
"Hahaha……"
The blonde lady covered her mouth and smiled brightly.
To be honest, even Leng Shuang had to admit that this blonde lady was truly naturally beautiful and had outstanding looks. If she were in real life, she would have no doubts about her suitors.
And she noticed the embarrassed reactions of passers-by and just felt that this player had great acting skills.
If she didn't know that this was a level 3 player, she would have thought that this guy was probably a pure boy.
evening,
As the sun sets, the sky is painted with a beautiful red glow.
Six pm,
Dinner meal time,
