It waited for a moment before replying in a “calm and composed” manner:
“This is quite normal, the game is designed and controlled by the Inspector. When certain special roles are generated, they naturally incorporate the corresponding attributes of the Inspector.”
Bai Youwei: “Oh…”
The Inspector continued, “This is basic game knowledge, telling you this does not count as a violation or cheating. If you are fortunate enough to survive, you will discover similar situations in other games.”
Bai Youwei nodded with sudden realization and then asked it, “How many Inspectors are there in total?”
“This question has nothing to do with the current game, so there is no need to answer it,” it replied indifferently.
Bai Youwei thought for a moment and then rephrased her question, “The Inspector for the female-only game is male, so would there be a female Inspector for a male-only game? I think this isn’t right, you should switch it around.”
The Inspector smirked arrogantly, “We are entities that you humans cannot comprehend. We have no age, no gender, no identity or name, we are united, without distinction of one another. Therefore, your concerns are completely unnecessary.”
Bai Youwei looked thoughtful.
The Inspector glanced at the outside sky, upturned the corners of its mouth, slightly bowed towards the six brides, and said:
“The Duke will be back soon, enjoy your meal. Excuse me.”
The Inspector left.
The dining room was deathly silent, no one spoke.
The light was dazzling, the food was bloody, and the dining utensils in front of them were ice cold.
Bai Youwei kept petting the rabbit, Su Man anxiously glanced outside the restaurant, Zhu Shu mulled over while holding her knife and fork, Hu Ya remained silent with a straight face, and Cheng Xi was quietly sobbing…
And there was Yu Yaqing.
Yu Yaqing held that so-called “True Key”. Her usually resolute personality was wavering for the first time, she didn’t know what to do!
A loud bang echoed from the outside door!
Bluebeard had returned!
He strode into the dining room, his full-bearded face like a lion or a bear, like a beast walking upright, yet his attire was clean and proper! The sparkling gemstones on his royal blue suit shimmered with each movement!
He sat down and indulged himself in the feast just as he did yesterday!
Chewing on raw meat!
Tearing apart the innards!
Bright red blood stained the entire table!
Then, with that mouth reeking of blood, he queried:
“My brides, why aren’t you eating? Don’t you want to dine with me?”
This time, no one dared to leave their seat.
Refusing to partake in the dinner with the Duke would enrage him.
Bai Youwei picked up her knife and fork, and started to cut the meat on her plate.
Looking at her with a complex expression, Su Man struggled to ask, “…You’re really going to eat it?”
“It’s better than dying, isn’t it? We should be thankful it’s beef, not chicken, otherwise we could get salmonella poisoning and die of diarrhea before the game ends…”
Bai Youwei closed her eyes and put a small piece of meat into her mouth. Suddenly her eyes sprung open, as if surprised, “Mmm… the taste is actually not bad.”
Su Man didn’t believe it and tried a bite herself. Her face twisted almost instantly, “You liar!”
“Mhm.” Bai Youwei calmly put down her knife and fork, wiping the corner of her mouth with a napkin, “If I didn’t deceive you, how would you be able to swallow it?”
Su Man covered her mouth:
Zhu Shu also forced herself to eat a small piece of raw beef, comforting Su Man, “It will be fine after you eat it.”
Yu Yaqing, Hu Ya, and Cheng Xi also ate the beef.
Bluebeard was satisfied with this and laughed heartily.
That laughter seemed to originate directly from his throat, carrying a coarse tremor that sent chills down their spines.
When the laughter ceased, he grinned broadly, showing off his single sharp canine tooth, and asked with a smile:
“My lovely brides, while I was away today, have you all been obedient like I asked?”
