"I was commissioned by the group leader to become the host of this masked dance. First of all, I am very grateful for everyone's arrival and make the place full of glory." He said and bowed again.

Everyone applauded very much.

Xia Letian took this opportunity to start calculating the number of people in the Death Castle, plus the host on the stage who was unknown if he was a member of the group, a total of fifteen people.

Including the van driver who once sent Xia Letian and others to the castle in that corner, he appeared in the castle again at some point, holding a red wine glass and whispering intimately with the female members next to him.

The female member waved her small fists from time to time and hit the van driver, covering her mouth and giggling.

Xia Letian lowered his head and began to think.

The group owner of the Death Chat Group once clearly stated that in addition to the five players, there are three other members of the group who participated in this masquerade.

If it is the same as the death chat group where the player is located, then the members of the other three groups are likely to be five, which can match the number of people present to attend the masquerade.

All members of the three groups were present, and no one was there.

As for why the group leader still did not appear, this is unknown for the time being.

At present, I only know that the identity of the group leader is very likely to be a ghost, and I have a known opportunity.

As long as a player violates the rules or fails to complete the task, the group leader who has never been exposed will appear and kill the player.

In addition, there is another more important point, what kind of activities will be held in the next masquerade party.

And where is that evil ghost hidden?

The most important thing is whether it is a group member who disguises himself as a human being, mingling in a masquerade.

The gentle and slow music sounded.

The host on the stage continued: "So now, I announced that the mask dance has officially started. I hope everyone can have fun. Now everyone can get to know each other and get to know each other in half an hour. We will start our first game project, which will be very interesting and fun."

"Of course, there will be another game session after the first project is over, and the dance party will officially come to an end until the midnight bell rings."

Midnight bell?

Xia Letian looked around and found no items related to the bell, but he secretly wrote down this point.

The host said some more scenes and then came down to talk to other group members.

Players gathered in the corner and started negotiations.

"What should we do now?" Jerry said: "We will be forced to play games in half an hour."

An Ye had a smile on his face as usual, "Then I have to ask Mr. Wang Xiaoming, what do you think we should do next?"

He stared at Xia Letian without any concealment.

Xia Letian looked at Danye coldly and said, "Half an hour should be a part of the game for players to find clues. We can divide it into two groups to conduct a preliminary search of this death castle to find out if there are any clues."

Two groups?

Kiwi said nervously: "Then I must follow Han Meimei."

"It's not just you, but Jerry, you are also following Han Meimei, and I are in the same group as An Ye." Xia Letian said.

Han Meimei frowned and said, "I'll switch with you, I'll be in the same group as An Ye."

Kiwi subconsciously wanted to object, but suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have the right to choose a team, so he could only suppress his uneasy emotions and look at other players.

Xia Letian immediately objected: "Kiwi wants to follow you more. You three are more suitable for a group of them, so that's it."

Xia Letian's attitude is unquestionable.

Han Meimei glanced at Xia Letian and chose to agree after a while.

The smile of Anye widened, "It seems that Mr. Wang Xiaoming is a little worried about me?"

Xia Letian's expression remained unchanged and said lightly: "It's not like this, I just think it's more suitable for me and you."

An Ye smiled even happier, "Wang Xiaoming's words really shocked me,"

Xia Letian still ignored An Ye and told Han Meimei and others: "Try to be careful and stay away from the others here."

After a pause in his tone, Xia Letian raised his hand and looked at the time, "We will meet here in twenty minutes."

"I know." Han Meimei gave her scope of action and said: "The three of us will go to the second floor next."

Xia Letian said: "Okay, then An Ye and I will go to the third floor, anyway, be careful."

Han Meimei and the other two quickly went up to the second floor.

And Xia Letian stopped and turned his head before going upstairs...

The fifteen members in the hall were doing their own things, two or three gathered together to talk, and some even sat there eating and drinking.

The van driver seemed to notice Xia Letian, raised his glass and signaled to Xia Letian, showing a hearty smile.

The female member next to him started talking again, drawing the driver's attention back, and the two began to whisper and speak intimately.

Everything looks normal.

It seems that the normal masquerade party is held here.

**

There is a long corridor on the third floor, with closed doormen on both sides, covered with exquisite and complex carpets, and vases placed from the beginning to the end of the window, with various types of flowers inserted.

There are many different oil paintings hanging on the walls, and the slightly thick and gloomy style makes the castle that should have been quite luxurious even more gloomy.

Xia Letian's attention was once again on the oil paintings. After careful examination, he found that there was a black shadow in these oil paintings, standing at the end of the darkness.

Xia Letian took out his cell phone and took pictures of each oil painting.

The night was admiring the oil painting next to him and said loudly: "The people who painted this oil painting have very high artistic attainments and skills, light, shadow, lines and brushstrokes..."

Xia Letian noticed that the dark night had been watching for a long time, often those patterns that seemed extremely gloomy and weird.

Before, Xia Letian had noticed that the night seemed to love dark and perverted things.

For example, in the last mission, the graffiti drawn by the little girl on the wall and this oil painting fully demonstrated that this person's heart was extremely abnormal.

He shouldn't have arbitrarily judged others based on these points, but when he thought that the night was most likely a member of the Hell organization, he felt a sense of resistance and disgust from the bottom of his heart.

The dark night seemed to be unaware of it, and was still addicted to these worlds of oil paintings that fully reflect the gloomy and weirdness.

Xia Letian discovered that this huge castle did not seem to have any clocks. If you want to know the time, you can only check it through your own mobile phone.

One of the rooms seemed slightly open, and the lights could be vaguely seen.

Xia Letian slowly pushed open the door and stood outside the door and looked inside the room.

This is a room.

There were no clocks or other things in the house, which made Xia Letian even more puzzled where the midnight bell would ring.

The wardrobe in the house is tightly closed.

Xia Letian did not rashly go in and open the wardrobe, but closed the door and continued to check other rooms that were not closed.

Check it out.

All rooms are approximately the same.

It was all empty and there was no sign of anyone staying in, and there was no dust in the surrounding corners.

At this time, there are still five minutes left before the assembly time.

The night was still focused on looking at the oil painting. When Xia Letian came, he reluctantly looked away from the oil painting and asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang Xiaoming, have you found any clues?"

Xia Letian also smiled and replied: "No."

An Ye said a little regretfully: "That will be troublesome. I don't know what danger will happen later. It's really scary, right?"

Xia Letian's smile faded and he stared at the dark night, "You don't seem afraid of dying here at all."

If it were someone else, no matter what, they would try their best to find clues. Only in this way can they analyze the way of birth and complete the task.

But Dark Night seemed to have expressed this idea from beginning to end.

Including the other party's behavior of focusing on the oil painting just now, does it imply that the other party has discovered the clues hidden in the oil painting?

——I was so focused on the oil painting.

Xia Letian recalled the contents in the oil paintings, but still found no useful clues.

An Ye laughed a few times indifferently and praised: "Mr. Wang Xiaoming is really careful in observing it. I am indeed not afraid of death. There is nothing to be afraid of death."

Xia Letian looked at the dark night calmly.

The night seemed very interested in talking about this topic with Xia Letian, "Do you know, death only requires a moment of pain and no worries are gone."

Xia Letian's expression was calm, "I agree with you, but this does not mean that I am not afraid of death. I hope you can continue to maintain the status quo. I don't want any accidents in this game."

An Ye laughed so happily, as if he had heard some funny digestion. Slowly, his expression gradually became strange. He approached Xia Letian and said in a weird tone: "Are you threatening me?"

Xia Letian's breath did not change, and he was still staring at the dark night calmly, as if explaining a fact, "You can understand it so too."

The expression of the night finally became gloomy and stared at Xia Letian, "I can keep the status quo, but I just want to know one thing."

Xia Letian realized something in his heart, and also looked back at the dark night.

Dark Night said in a gloomy tone: "Is the destruction of the Hell organization related to you?"
