Su Man asked, “Why do you say that? Are you familiar with this Inspector?”

“I can’t say I’m familiar per se, but I’ve certainly encountered him before.” Bai Youwei responded nonchalantly, “I once participated in a game where the Inspector was also present. He… he seems to enjoy flamboyant things. Things like roses, afternoon tea parties, balls, pretty dresses, and all sorts of other bling-ey stuff…”

Pausing briefly, she arched her brows and continued, “But, all that glamour is merely on the surface, cruelty is the reality. What he seemingly enjoys most is watching the players butcher each other.”

Su Man sneered, “He’s seriously underestimating us if he thinks he can get us fighting each other with the ‘Last Bride’ hint alone. Should we warn the people with Yu Yaqing to ensure they don’t fall into his trap?”

“No rush, there should be something else…” Bai Youwei mused, “They selected only women to partake, there has to be a reason.”

She pondered momentarily and finding no immediate answers, looked up to find the other two women’s eyes fixed on her. She felt slightly helpless.

“What are you looking at me for?” Bai Youwei sighed, “Let’s get going. Let’s explore while the Duke is absent.”

The three women exited together.

They came across Yu Yaqing and her group of four in the central room.

“Should we explore the rooms?” Su Man proposed, “This place is vast. We might cover more ground if we split up.”

Yu Yaqing glanced over at her.

They had a fight just yesterday, but now that they were in the game together, it would be better to put past disputes aside for the time being.

Yu Yaqing nodded and replied succinctly: “You take the left side, we’ll take the right.”

Su Man, Zhu Shu, and Bai Youwei headed to the left.

Yu Yaqing, Hu Ya, and Zhao Lanfen went to the right.

Cheng Xi hesitated in the middle for a moment, eventually following Yu Yaqing’s lead.

Truth be told, she wasn’t really welcomed in Yu Yaqing’s group. Hu Ya was always making sarcastic remarks about her, and even though Zhao Lanfen would seemingly defend her, she really only cared about her own safety.

But looking at the other three women on the left…

A limping woman, a woman with a wounded hand, and a celebrity who could only sing and dance.

No matter how you looked at it, the group with the security team leader Yu Yaqing was a safer bet.

The grand room had two spiral staircases on either side, and featured an exquisitely patterned crimson carpet. The baroque-style banisters were made of solid gold. Climbing the staircase, one could see the crystal chandelier shimmering in the center of the room, with its layers of cake-like crystals hanging upside down, elegantly radiant and breathtakingly beautiful.

Were it not for the threat of the game, perhaps they would’ve paused to admire the sight.

However, as the threat of the game visibly hung over them, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, all they saw was the eerie presence of impending death.

The rooms Bai Youwei’s group searched were all unlocked. A turn of the knob and a gentle push and the doors would swing open.

Whether it was rooms filled with jewels, hung with extravagant clothes, or displaying an array of precious dinnerware, tables, chairs, mirrors, tapestries… it was all an awe-inspiring sight.

They opened a total of 63 rooms, moving from initial amazement to a state of numbness, and fell into somewhat of an aesthetic fatigue when it came to precious gems and metals.

Su Man opened the 64th room.

This time, the room housed an array of exquisite armours.

Not just human armor, but also horse armor, adorning wooden frames. With the knight’s armor mounted on top of the horse’s, it gave off an air of opulence and grandeur, as if a knight and his horse were standing there.

Zhu Shu took hold of a whip hanging on the waist of one of the armors, and offered it to Su Man: “Find this useful?”

Su Man took it, tested it with her left hand, and found it a bit unwieldy.

“Let’s keep it for now.” She slung the whip around her waist, pulled a sword from the armor’s scabbard, and swung it a bit to test its balance.

The sound of voices carried from outside. From the tone, it seemed to be Yu Yaqing and her group.

The three women emerged from the room to find it was indeed Yu Yaqing and her group. The corridor on both sides formed a circular arc. If they kept walking from where they were, they would eventually end up on the other side.

Seeing Bai Youwei and the others exit the room, Yu Yaqing asked, “Find anything?”
