Heicha and Zhong Ning were just worrying about where to start looking when a tall, strangely behaving male servant came out of the kitchen, tearing at his clothes as he walked."What the hell is this tight! Stuck!"
This blond and blue-eyed man looks like a burly man wearing a Barbie princess' dress.
Hei Cha looked at the man's awkward expression and spoke tentatively.
"This servant, please stay."
The blond man seemed not to have heard anything at all. He just kept walking forward with his head down.
Zhong Ning's eyes widened when he saw this. He lowered his voice and said, "It must be Minister Gao!"
Hearing this, Hei Cha rolled his eyes and stared at Zhong Ning, "What is the basis for your judgment?"
Zhong Ning chose his words carefully: "Doctor Bai wouldn't do something so rude?"
Hei Cha gave him a look of approval and said, "Excellent judgment." After saying that, she quickened her pace and took two steps forward to stop the blond man.
"Explore..." Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly raised his head.
"Black Tea! Are you Black Tea?!"
Hei Cha breathed a sigh of relief but couldn't help wondering, "Minister Gao, how did you make that judgment?"
The butler named Haier, Minister Gao, said directly: "Among us, except you who is serious and stern all the time, who else is not cheerful?"
"Do I need to judge this? I can see it at a glance." Minister Gao tugged at his clothes uncomfortably, "What about you?"
"How do you know it was me?"
Hearing this, Hei Cha turned around and looked at Zhong Ning. A strange tacit understanding formed between the two.
"Intuition. We rely on intuition."
"Hey! You girl!" Minister Gao was about to reach out to grab the black tea when he was knocked down by the anxious Zhong Ning.
Minister Gao's eyes were filled with disbelief. "This is Xiao Ning, right? You are rebelling!"
Zhong Ning quickly said, "I'm sorry, Minister Gao! But we'd better not test the bottom line of this instance. You should still remember the rules reminder at the beginning of the game."
“Not only do you have to play your role carefully, but you also have to follow the rules of the game.”
Zhong Ning rarely speaks so long in one breath. His face has turned red. "If you put your arm around Minister Black Tea's shoulders, you will undoubtedly violate two rules at once... No one knows what the consequences will be..."
Minister Gao was so upset by these words that he left his arm hanging in the air, not knowing whether to go up or down.
After a moment, he said unconvincedly: "I really want to try it out!"
Zhong Ning and Hei Cha were too late to stop him. Just as he touched Hei Cha's neck with his elbow, a group of people suddenly appeared out of the darkness.
Judging from their attire, there are both male and female servants.
They swarmed around Minister Gao, their faces full of ferocity, "How dare you disobey the head maid!"
"Damn it, Hail, do you know what you are doing?!"
Before anyone could react, countless fists had already landed on Minister Gao.
The air around them suddenly dropped, and frost quickly spread along the wooden floor. Seeing this, Hei Cha's pupils shrank.
"stop!"
This shout not only stopped all the servants, but also made Minister Gao's sharp edge disappear without a trace.
The air slowly returned to normal temperature.
Hei Cha said coldly, "The butler Haier just tried to offend me. I believe everyone saw it."
Many angry voices suddenly rang out among the servants, "That's right! We all saw it!"
Hei Cha's eyes turned cold. "So he must be punished for this. Not with fists or kicks, which is rude and illegal, but real punishment."
A slightly surprised voice sounded, "Do you want to put Haier in the punishment room?"
Hei Cha looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little maid with flaxen hair. Hei Cha was not sure, but she said expressionlessly, "Is it not possible?"
Others chimed in, “Yes, of course!”
"The Earl is the master of the entire castle. He can make anyone in the castle do anything. Head Maid Eve is the master of all the male and female servants in the castle. Naturally, she can make any male and female servant do anything."
"The principle is the same."
"Of course Hail can go to the punishment house if the head maid is willing."
After Hei Cha gave a calm look, the slightly flustered Minister Gao was carried away by the servants.
Zhong Ning was stunned as he watched from the side. "Minister Black Tea, you... no, Maid Eve, are you really going to lock Haier up?"
Hei Cha said calmly, "You have to pay the price for your actions. This is true even in our world, let alone in this horror cave."
"It's been too long since Minister Gao became Minister and he hasn't been in the Terror Cave. He's already rusty."
"I hope being locked up in a small dark room can sober him up and inspire him to have a sense of crisis."
Zhong Ning's face was full of disbelief. "Aren't you worried that Minister Gao might be in danger in the small dark room?"
"If the small dark room is dangerous for him, then he will definitely encounter greater dangers in the future because of his recklessness."
Black Tea took a step forward and said, "At least now, whether he is locked up in the small dark room or released is something I can decide with just one word. This is much better than those dangers that I can't solve at all."
"Compared to Minister Gao, Aning, did you hear anything unusual from the servants' words?"
"Abnormal? Not really," Zhong Ning considered his words, "It just feels like the castle seems to have clear levels?"
Hei Cha nodded, "That's right, I, a head maid, can actually be called the master."
“It’s pretty weird here.”
Zhong Ning nodded vigorously, "And those servants who just judged Haier's violation, they all appeared out of nowhere, as if... they have been quietly observing in the dark, waiting to catch us doing something wrong."
Thinking of this, Zhong Ning became more cautious and began to secretly test Black Tea's mission, trying not to be discovered by the terrifying insight.
"Maid Eve, you haven't told me what you are going to do yet?"
Black Tea said truthfully: "Preparing for the banquet for the Earl and Earl Mellis has always been my responsibility. What I have to do is to ensure that the banquet goes well."
Zhong Ning followed up with his analysis, "The dinner is scheduled for tomorrow, so... the timing is not right yet?"
Hei Cha nodded slightly, "There is one more thing to note. Since my mission is like this, it means that something is likely to happen at tomorrow's dinner."
"This matter is likely related to other people's missions."
“We really need to know as much as possible about other people’s tasks,” she concluded.
Thinking of this, Hei Cha began to show her poor acting skills, "Xiao Duo, the punishment house is not a good place. Do you think Haier knows his mistake?"
Zhong Ning nodded vigorously, "Flower Eater, Haier must have experienced the power of the Punishment House."
"In that case, I think he has been punished."
"Let's go and let him out."
After saying this, Heicha pulled Zhong Ning along and headed in the direction where the servants had carried Minister Gao out.
In the darkness that they could not see, pairs of cloudy eyes were staring at them until they completely left the hall.
The "eyes" began to talk in unison.
"Eve is weird."
"Xiao Duo is also very strange."
"They were all mumbling something we couldn't understand."
"They betrayed the Flower Eaters!" A pair of eyes trembled violently, "Damn it, damn it!" (End of this chapter)
