Chapter 456 - 8.56 You Should See This
Where had Baines gone to be carrying a bloodied kitchen knife around? Even if he were to butcher some live animals — not that Lu Yizhou had ever seen any signs of livestock around the mansion — why did he do it himself instead of handing it over to the respective cooks?
Also, Lu Yizhou still had not discovered the mystery behind the women Baines had dragged out in a potato sack last night...
What if... he had heard wrong and it was not the two women inside? What if Ailín was right, that inside the storage freezer was human meat — or worse, frozen corpses? Lu Yizhou pursed his lips together. What he could know from other people was very limited. He would like to investigate it himself but somehow, he suspected that everything would be gone by the time he got there, just like the time with the ghost mannequin in his bathroom...
This game was intentionally confusing the players and redirected them further and further from the truth!
Lu Yizhou reconsidered his choices. He still had approximately four and a half hours until the sun fully set and moreover, he had consumed stamina potion earlier so he could not even rest even if he wanted to. He nodded to himself and stood up. "I will go and check the kitchen out."
"I will go with you!" Ji Yan raised his hand eagerly.
"No," Lu Yizhou told him sternly. "Stay here and take a rest. You need to regain your strength for the fight tonight."
Ji Yan looked like he still wanted to protest but before he could say anything, Ailín straightened up from where he was leaning against the window. "I will go with Miss Irene. Ji Yan and Olivia, please take a rest. You two have worked hard to complete the special quest. Don’t worry, Miss Irene and I are more than enough."
Olivia elbowed him on his side with an annoyed look. "Listen to them! Each one of them is much stronger than you! You will not be able to contribute anything even if you go anyway!"
