I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.
Chapter 158, Section 111, Chapter 4: The Amnesiac Corridor
Chapter 158 1.11 4 The Hall of Amnesia
Gentle sunlight streamed through the window onto the crimson carpet, bringing a touch of spring warmth.
On the large palace double bed, the girl slowly opened her clear, silver eyes, her gaze calm and serene like the still waters of a deep ancient pool.
She wore a white nightgown, her long, soft, misty gray curls casually draped behind her head; even their slight dishevelment couldn't diminish her serene aura. Her delicate, palm-sized face was flawless, like a doll meticulously sculpted by its creator, yet it also lacked any sense of life.
Lifting the covers, she stood barefoot on the soft carpet, her fair and delicate feet perfectly rounded, enough to drive any foot fetishist crazy.
She walked to the desk by the window, where a diary and a half-finished copy without a cover were placed.
She reached out and gently opened the diary.
To myself the next day:
When you see this diary, it means you've lost all your memories again. Don't worry, because I knew this would happen, so please read this quietly.
You suffer from amnesia because you offer up your daily memories as a sacrifice, hoping to gain the ability to understand others' emotions. Losing your memory is not a big deal for you; you can still glean the information you want from others' emotions and words.
Please remember the following:
Zero, your name is 'Mu Yegui', you must never forget your name.
1. You are in a copy.
Second, this is not the real world, so anything that happens here is perfectly normal.
3. Please go to the Ten Nights Corridor at midnight every night.
Fourth, you are searching for a golden key to unlock the secrets of the East Tower.
Fifth, you are not just a maid, so feel free to do whatever you want, but avoid the guards and your master.
6. Do not take any major actions before you have thoroughly investigated the identities and relationships of the castle owner and the distinguished guests.
7. Write down what happened that day every night to remind yourself of the events of the next day, and indicate which day it was.
8. Investigate the castle and draw a map (do not complete it all at once, rely on yourself later).
9. The key is related to the castle owner, perhaps it's in his bedroom (this is just speculation).
That's all I wanted to say. Points five and six seem contradictory, but you surely understand what they mean.
She flipped through a few more pages, and found that everything after the first page was blank.
So, it's the second day now.
Mu Yegui turned his gaze to the coverless tattered book beside him. It was just blank paper, but upon closer inspection, it could be seen that it was torn from a book. Was he looking for the other half of this book?
However, the diary did not contain any information about this half of the book.
The bell on the wall rang, as if summoning someone.
She reached out and took off her nightgown, put on a white shirt, then a black belted suspender dress, and finally tied on a white ruffled apron, tying her loose hair into a bunch that hung down her back.
She casually stuffed the tattered copy into her apron pocket, opened the door, and saw a serious-looking woman standing in the doorway.
"Why are you so slow? Do I have to come and call you myself?" The woman's tone was slightly annoyed and dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything more. "I'm sorry," Mu Yegui said, looking at her and apologizing sincerely.
The woman was silent for a moment, then took the lead and walked forward, saying as she went, "Today you will go to the east building to clean the guest rooms. Remember! All the cleaning work must be completed before the distinguished guests check in. Don't show up in front of the distinguished guests and cause us any trouble."
Mu Yegui followed the woman while listening attentively to her words. The woman suddenly stopped and turned around, instructing him, "Did you hear that?"
Mu Yegui almost fell over because the woman suddenly stopped. She nodded obediently and said, "I understand."
"Okay, go get the tools now. There are eight rooms in total, remember? Finish by 3 PM!" the woman instructed seriously.
Mu Yegui nodded and answered very seriously and obediently, "I guarantee to complete the mission."
"Then go ahead." The woman waved her hand, dismissing her.
Mu Yegui took a few steps forward, then stopped and turned to look back at the woman, her soft, childlike voice tinged with confusion, "Where is the East Building?"
"This is the East Building now! The tools you need are in the servants' quarters of the West Building. Go west through the underground passage, but don't go through the garden," the woman said irritably. "How could you forget that?"
It's strange that the east wing was where guests were entertained, and her bedroom was also in the east wing. But the west wing was the servants' quarters, which means that she wasn't originally a servant.
She had never walked through the underpass before...
"Where is the underground passage?" Mu Yegui asked again.
"Alright, alright, I'll take you there!" The woman looked annoyed but still patiently led Mu Yegui toward the underground passage reserved for servants.
The so-called underground passage was a passage specifically for servants. Servants who were not of high rank were absolutely not allowed to appear in front of their masters. Therefore, in order not to offend their masters, roads leading to various areas were dug underground.
Moreover, and most importantly, there will never be a path leading to the kitchen from the master area; it can only be reached via an underground passage.
After receiving the tools, Mu Yegui walked back to the East Building. To get to the guest room area of the East Building, one had to pass through the corridor. The white stone pillars in the corridor seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, exuding a sacred aura.
The corridor is flanked by courtyards filled with bright red flowers.
Mu Yegui slightly raised his eyes. In the distance, in the garden to the left of the corridor, was a round tower, but from here, he could only see the windows at the top of the tower and the black roof.
There is no visible road leading to the East Tower from here, or perhaps there never was a road to the East Tower in the first place.
Mu Yegui withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.
"I didn't expect that after three days, Xie Er, as the host, wouldn't even consider arranging guest rooms. When I asked, he actually replied, 'Why are you still here?' So he wanted to make a day trip? This time, the travel expenses must be reimbursed." Ji Qi strolled by slowly, fanning himself, complaining as he went.
“Looks like I’ll have to write an expense report too. I’ve been staying at a hotel in the King’s City for the past few days, and the expenses have been really high.” Shu Ming squinted and chuckled as he walked beside Ji Qi, speaking slowly.
Mu Yegui paused slightly, then turned and hid behind the huge vase.
"Forget it, while I wait for the guest room to be cleaned, I'll go find my fat pig master who disappeared as soon as we arrived in the capital. I wonder where he's gone to find food again," Ji Qi sighed helplessly.
Her cool, silver eyes watched the two figures walk further and further away. Suddenly, one of them turned around and looked at her. His jade-like eyes held a deep, dark color and a faint, enigmatic smile.
