Chapter 26

Xie Lingshi already knew the hint of Wu Tian and also understood that Xiao Li knew it and it was even earlier than him.

He originally thought that the self-proclaimed Sherlock was abnormal but now he found that the other person was a very smart, abnormal person. This was good since they could try to cooperate. It was always pleasant to deal with smart people rather than pig-like teammates.

Once all the clues were connected with Wu Tian's hint, everything was simple. Every person had an identity on their invitation. For example, Xiao Li was a detective, Xie Lingshi was a priest and Feng Fengqing was a doctor. This 'identity' was the key in this world.

Wu Tian writing 'Pro' was actually half of 'profession'. He had no strength to complete the word.

Profession was 'identity' and Wu Tian's identity was a teacher. However, he didn't act as a teacher. On the contrary, he always wanted to hold Xie Lingshi's thighs and listen to Xie Lingshi's words. He was more like a student than a teacher so he died very early.

The first uncle who died, his identity was a 'butcher' and he was the first to die because at dinner, he said that blood was really disgusting. This didn't fit his identity as a butcher since he should be accustomed to blood. He was the first to die since no one else violated their identity. The method of death was a dagger through the heart but it was in line with the word 'butcher.'

The reason why Wu Tian knew this was because the ghost who came to kill him wore a teacher's costume and the right hand-held chalk, drawing a circle around his body. This made him think of his identity on the invitation.

Xiao Li, Xie Lingshi and Feng Fengqing were already acting as the detective, priest and doctor without knowing it. Meanwhile, out of the couple, the man He Wei was a businessman and the woman He Yi was a writer. Once they saw through the rules of the dead, they just had to act out their identity and avoid the dead end, surviving to the seventh day.

Xiao Li's question was a response to Xie Lingshi. Since Xie Lingshi was so fond of testing him, how could he not return the favor?

Based on Xiao Li's personality, he wouldn't use such obscure questioning to fight back. However, he was now a detective, the big detective Sherlock Holmes. Directly asking Wu Tian would be a loss so he simply used a famous British nursery rhyme.

Who killed Cock Robin? Who killed Wu Tian? Wu Tian killed himself. Wu Tian had the idea of holding Xie Lingshi's thigh and killed himself.

Xie Lingshi succeeded in catching the hint.

The brown-haired youth showed compassion on his face, perfectly showing the emotion that a priest should have. "May God take his soul and let him rest in Heaven."

The old housekeeper once again carried the body to the cellar and Xie Lingshi took this time to tell the other people about his speculation. This was an effective way to survive seven days but not discover the truth of the castle. Still, most people didn't care about the truth as long as they could successfully survive.

After the second day, most of them thought the crisis had been lifted and no one would die on the third day. However, at noon on the third day, no one came out of the couple's room.

They broke in again and found that the curtains of this room were tightly pulled close. There were three burning candles in front of the mirror and the couple He Wei and He Yi were hugging each other while lying on the carpet. Their entire faces were torn off while He Wei's palm was holding a golden hair. The scene was very bloody.

Xie Lingshi's expression changed. "Why did someone die? Were we wrong?"

Feng Fengqing endured her nausea as she bent down and checked the couple. Then she pulled a layer of sheets from the bed and covered them. Xiao Li went to the mirror and looked at the three candles in front of them. "Their method of death... it is different from the previous two."
