Chapter 369 Hiding
This is a room full of fine clothes.
Except for the door wall, the other three walls are all wardrobes!
In the middle of the room were more than a dozen costumed window mannequins, with tall wigs, fluffy puff sleeves, and wide, floor-length skirts, as if they were hosting an Elizabethan palace feast.
Zhu Shu opened a door of the wardrobe, helped Bai Youwei in first, then closed the door and got under the skirt of a model.
The palace dress of this period was very gorgeous, with a layer of silk velvet hip support pads in the middle. The larger the hip support, the richer it was. There was a wider bustle below the hip support, and the real skirt was outside the bustle. .
Not long after Zhu Shu hid in her skirt, she heard shaking footsteps coming from downstairs.
It's the Duke who's back.
His footsteps were quick and heavy, filled with anger, and he rushed to the third floor almost as soon as he recovered! Then look for them one by one!
Just as Bai Youwei expected, he skipped the first two rooms and started rummaging in the third room.
The rooms further down the corridor were easier targets for his suspicions.
Bai Youwei stayed in the closet quietly, but her mood was not calm. She seemed to be roasting on the fire.
At one time, I felt relaxed because the Duke was far away, and at the other time, I was worried about Su Man and Yu Yaqing being found. One third of this worry was the friendship between life and death, and the other seventy percent was the reluctance to play the game!
She couldn't figure out why she was wrong!
According to past game experience, they can definitely pass the level by killing the Duke. Since the Duke at night is invincible, the gardener during the day is their chance!
But why doesn't it work?
The gardener is not dead!
Not only did he not die, but he also transformed into a duke, making night fall earlier! Now all of them have become his dinner!
Annoyance or regret are not enough to describe her mood at this moment. There is more, which is deep doubt and confusion.
The Duke's cries echoed through the corridor.
"My lovely brides, where are you...don't you know that refusing to have dinner with me will offend me!"
"Come out quickly... Brides, I can already smell the smell on your bodies. It's like wild cats in the garbage dump. It's fishy and smelly! It's disgusting!"
"Where are you?! Come out!!!"
"Liar! Liar!!! Greedy and stupid woman! I will tear you apart!!!"
Roars and heavy footsteps filled the entire manor, and the floor trembled faintly with the owner's anger.
The Duke found nothing on the third floor, so he went to the second floor angrily. After searching again, he went to the first floor again!
As he moved away, the intimidating voice became farther and smaller.
Zhu Shu felt a little relieved.
She curled up and squatted under her skirt. Her feet were sore and numb, but she didn't dare to move.
Just when she was hesitating whether to stretch her legs, the footsteps suddenly got closer!
After searching downstairs, the Duke seemed to suspect that they did not leave the third floor and came back again!
The nerves that had just been relaxed suddenly became tense again! Zhu Shu held her breath.
Bang, bang.
There was the sound of something falling to the ground.
Zhu Shu's heart almost jumped out of her throat!
Why does something fall off if everything is fine? ! Could it be that there is something going on with Bai Youwei? Oops, that sound will attract the Duke!
Sure enough, the footsteps were approaching faster!
Zhu Shu was anxious in her heart, but had no choice but to slightly lift the lace underneath, which was like a cake decoration——
There was nothing strange about the wardrobe, but instead, where the door was, a corner of clothes quickly retracted.
Zhu Shu was stunned.
She recognized that corner of fabric.
It's Hu Ya...
A chill rose in Zhu Shu's heart. She did not expect that Hu Ya would actually want to harm them as the situation was still unclear.
