CHAPTER 793: CHAPTER 493: THE MURDERED GRAND PRINCE OF YALE!

Now, what should we do?

In the silence, everyone could hear the restless noises coming from all over the ancient castle, clearly indicating that the other guests were even more bewildered and panicked.

"Someone must have tripped the power switch, let’s gather together first and then talk..."

It seemed that the entire castle was in chaos, but the intelligence of the guests here was not low, so it wouldn’t be too disorderly. They should all be in their rooms by now because only by doing so could they be the safest, and not fall victim to any opportunistic assailant...

One by one, they all left the room, heading to the Duke and Duchess’s room where most people were.

By now, a few oil lamps had been lit in the room. Cao Qijun was holding the sleeping Chark with a worried look on her face, while Losar was speaking with several bodyguards beside her, and Cao Yu was sitting on the sofa, deep in thought...

When Sui Yi and the others arrived, the people of the Duke’s Mansion collectively sighed in relief. It wasn’t that they overly relied on Sui Yi and his companions, but more people obviously meant more safety. And because of Cao Qijun and Chark, they couldn’t be as free to get involved in everything like Sui Yi, which meant their awareness of the situation was somewhat less.

As soon as Xiluo and Mu Sang returned, they quickly gave an overview of the situation. After listening, Losar decisively offered a suggestion, "Find Prince Yale, even if he isn’t the person behind the scenes, he must be an informant... Otherwise, he’s likely the opponent’s prime target..."

"We also need to turn the power back on..."

"And contact planes and boats, the sooner we leave here the better."

These were the three critical steps for the people of the Duke’s Mansion and, indeed, most guests without ulterior motives, aligning with the choices of the majority.

Although Sui Yi had his own objectives, they led to the same end. Because it now appeared that the person behind the scenes had already outpaced their reaction... Perhaps everything was designed for them from the start, making these three steps necessary for them as well.

Therefore...

Ye Zixu and Zhong Lang went to turn on the power, while Sui Yi and Ming Lanyuan’s group went to find Yale. As for the others... they left the castle for the airfield.

However, just as they had distributed the tasks...

Boom!!!

That violent and terrifying explosion shook everyone’s hearts and nerves. Stepping out of the room and onto the corridor for a look, there were too many people on the corridors of the castle buildings to the left and right. Separated by the vast estate, they couldn’t see each other, but all witnessed the glass of the pyramid-shaped castle building on the mountainside shattering with a bang... the pieces of that gigantic, busted, floor-to-ceiling window scattering...

Someone burst through that window, leaping into the air, soaring like an eagle to reach the top of the pyramid...

That person was...

Under the moonlight and the light of the fire, even ordinary people could see that the man at the top, dressed in a tailcoat, was... Prince Yale!

The prince reached the top of the pyramid at a terrifying speed and, turning around, he bellowed, "Who the hell are you?!"

Before his words has even faded...

Thud!

A spear... shot out fiercely from amidst the flames...

That spear, like a Phoenix spreading its wings... shimmered like the burning sun with fierce flames...

Thwack!

It pierced directly through Yale’s chest, sending both man and spear...

Crash!

The tip of the spear stuck into the pyramid, pinning Prince Yale against the sharp and towering pyramid.

Against the backdrop of the huge, bright, and full moon, the Grand Prince impaled on the pyramid...

Everyone, whether it was Sui Yi and his companions or the other guests who had run out of their rooms, was indescribably shocked.

Especially Sui Yi and company...

"Yale is dead?"

"Obviously."

"As for the murderer..."

It didn’t take long for Sui Yi and the others to spot that person...

The person who emerged from behind the floor-to-ceiling window...

With a raging fire behind him, he was draped in a large black robe, wearing a very ordinary mask made of what seemed to be porcelain, revealing only the eyes, which meant Sui Yi and the others could only see his eyes.

A pair of fiery red eyes.

Frightening and yet strangely glamorous and beautiful...

Sui Yi thought of a person in his mind.

Natasha, her eyes were like this... no, even more beautiful, but these eyes had a chilling and deadly coldness to them.

And no one else had seen what Natasha truly looked like when she was set on killing, only Sui Yi had.

That fleeting red.

Natasha? Sui Yi frowned. Was it her?

Everyone watched the man in the porcelain mask and black robe as he dragged his cloak along. His movements were slow and deliberate as he stood on the edge of the pyramid railing, looking down...

It was as though he saw every one of them.

A certain feeling naturally arose.

-- I’ll be the next to die.

Ahh!!

Finally, someone screamed in horror, piercing through The Blue Dome.

Just a few hours earlier, he had hosted an elegant and opulent dinner with his refined and noble demeanor. In the blink of an eye, he was slain, hanging there from the pyramid... The ground at the base of the pyramid... was the back of that ancient castle, which had a large clock on it.

Dong, dong, dong!

The bell tolled, the time frozen at exactly twelve o’clock...

Which meant that it had only been about an hour or so since Sui Yi and the others had finished the banquet and gone to sleep?

And within this hour, they had all encountered an "Illusion," and then... They had almost all pinned the mastermind as the Grand Prince of Yale. However... the Grand Prince of Yale is dead!

With a blink of an eye from Sui Yi, the murderer, elusive as a ghost, vanished in an instant.

Leaving only the corpse of the Grand Prince hanging on the tower.

Sui Yi and the others heard the panicked shouts of the Hellfire followers...

Alright, the situation was a bit chaotic; they needed to think things through.

And Sui Yi felt that the situation was not just chaotic, but also had a sense of being bizarrely unfathomable.

Yi, who had appeared beside her at some point, gazed at the tower clock and the corpse, and said indifferently, "You seem very disappointed."

Disappointed?

"Not really... I just feel that the situation is developing into the unknown, which is not a good thing."

"Is that so? I thought you were disappointed because you had a target in mind, only to find your target already dead."

Sui Yi turned to look at Yi, "It seems you’ve discovered something."

"The castle has been excavated and refurbished, the traces of construction are so new, it’s unreasonable for those inside the castle not to be aware, while the traces of the construction underneath the tunnels..."

"Are very new?"

"No, very old, and the lower levels are not sealed off," Yi lowered her voice, whispering, "They’re connected."

"But the situation with Yue Beiqing was not good, and as I was unable to contend on my own, that’s why I returned..."

"It’s good that you returned."

This statement from Sui Yi made Yi slightly tilt her head; she knew Sui Yi had an unresolved issue in her heart, and it was also her burden.

Those missing years... were ultimately a thorn that couldn’t be pulled out.

Because during those years, she had become an accomplice in a human organ trafficking organization, her body modified... no longer that of an ordinary person.

Because during those years, she and she had met and got to know each other but could not recognize one another.

Because during those years, it seemed they could never return to being Ah Yi and Xiao Yi, who could sit silently together in the playground all afternoon...

"So, what do you plan to do now?"

"What to do?"

Sui Yi let out a light sigh, stepped forward, and her figure soared out.

Of course, it was to take a look for herself.

Yi lagged behind because she turned to enter the room Sui Yi had just left, took out a coat in a second, held it in her hand, and turned to look at Ye Zixu and the others. Her gaze in the moonlight was especially cold and sharp.

With just one glance, she darted out, and the slender figures of the two women were astonishingly consistent under the cover of night.

The beauty of the night.

Fatty Gao, supporting his behind, mumbled, "I finally understand what it means when they say birds of a feather flock together..."

Just now, that short-haired elf’s side glance, oh my! It electrified him to the point where his scalp went numb!

Mu Sang silently grimaced, sighing lightly, "Suddenly I’m wondering if she likes women..."

Well, everyone at the Duke’s Mansion knew that the young lady was, well...

Seems like she’s now interested in Sui Yi’s friend?

Regardless, Zhong Lang, Ye Zixu, and the others also rushed into the night.

The darkness was the most dangerous, and they needed to make the area light up as soon as possible...

Naturally, the Duke and Duchess and the other guests were escorted by bodyguards to the airport...

In the darkness, two shadows, one after the other, charged towards the front of the Pyramid. But as they were about to rush through the manor, Sui Yi glanced sideways and saw in the completely dark garden... pairs of green, chilling eyes that startled the heart. However, no growls from those creatures were heard, indicating that the glass protection was still there.

Sui Yi didn’t pay them any more attention and dashed! When she arrived at the first floor, she happened to meet Justin and Wo Er and others who were living in this castle, while most of the guests were panic-stricken, and a black shadow rushing in made them scream.

"It’s someone we know."

The calm voice of Justin reassured everyone, but when Wo Er saw Sui Yi, she made an unexpectedly expected move.

--She grabbed Justin’s sleeve, her eyes reddening, and she weakly cried, "Justin, I’m scared~~"

The tall, night-like figure, and the person with the tender and alluring scent overwhelming the senses...

Justin lowered his gaze, trying to withdraw his hand without showing any emotion...

Between choosing the boss and the woman who’s flirting with death in front of the boss, he had to make a choice.

However, Sui Yi didn’t care about Wo Er and simply glanced at everyone in the room and said indifferently, "Don’t go through the manor when you leave."

She saw Wayne, whose expression seemed a bit strange, slightly absent-minded and preoccupied.

Not even bothering to taunt her.

The unexpected death of Yale?

Sui Yi only glanced at him briefly before heading toward the staircase... His arrival had been abrupt, and his departure was too, but everyone present knew her intent.

--To find the murderer!

With such courage shown by a young woman, the majority of the nobles present, who prided themselves on their noble demeanor, felt somewhat ashamed. There were also some who, after brief consideration, followed her to uncover the truth.

Wayne hesitated for a moment before following. Justin, taking the opportunity, coldly disentangled himself from Wo Er clinging to him, turned his head, scanned the room, and said, "It seems not all of our people are here."

So where were those who were missing?

The people present looked at one another, all dead? (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
