Reincarnated As The Diabolic System-Chapter 130 129. The Palace!

Everyone slowly entered the place one after another. The butler was standing to the side as he stared at the people entering from the side. Once everyone was inside, he simply closed the door and walked forward.

Others were amazed after seeing the interior of the palace. Even though it looked like a spooky place from the outside, the interiors were quite enchanting. The place was decorated to the brim, making it look like it was set aside for some kind of ball. The newbie hosts couldn't contain their expressions as they looked around in surprise.

Only David and other experienced hosts remained aloof to the enchantment. They knew too well that behind such a beautiful appearance, there was some kind of beastly mission hidden inside to trouble them endlessly. The more beautiful it was, the harder the world.

At this time, all of them had grim expressions on their faces. But they choose to ignore the newbies and let the latter learn what kind of dangerous world this was! f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Shane narrowed his eyes as he looked around. He had read the mission, and from the background, he received on the host's body, he could tell a murder either occurred or was about to happen.

From what he could see, the murder hadn't occurred yet. It meant that someone was about to die during their stay here tonight. Perhaps he should tell his host to be careful.

Before he could open his mouth, his host said, "I'll stay inside the room. Who knows what may happen?"

Shane instantly understood that even his host was thinking the same thing as him. He silenced as he continued to watch.

The butler finally opened his mouth as he stood between two stairs behind him. "Welcome. We will provide you with a week's stay. You can enjoy this place, and we'll give you rewards before sending you off. You'll be given keys to your rooms, don't worry. We hope you'll enjoy this place and leave a five-star comment on our website."

Shane raised his brows. Now even ghosts have websites? That's new.

The butler called out a few servants who handed the keys to the guests. Then they all took the hosts upstairs to show them the place.

The entire palace was divided into two areas. One was to enjoy, and another was to stay. Upstairs were covered with different rooms for guests. Even after giving it to others, many were left unopened. The corridor was filled with different kinds of ancient paintings. In some places, they could see ship sailing while some pics had painted a tornado, depicting the deaths of several people at once.

After the hosts freshened up, they were shown the entertainment area downstairs. Aside from the hall at the center, there were several rooms attached to it on both the left and the right sides. One of the rooms had a living room arrangemnt with a few couches and a tea table. Table lamps and ancient-looking artifacts hung on the wall to make the room look even more alluring.

Everyone stared at the scene in a daze. Then the servants took them to another room. It had a swimming pool and several changing rooms attached. The water looked clear and deep, making them lick their lips.

Beside it was the restaurant where the guests would have their meals and party whenever they wanted to. A kitchen was attached to the other end of the restaurant.

Other than that, they also had several gaming rooms and even a library.

The palace was even more entertaining than they thought. Except for electricity, TV, and a computer, everything was there. Even the games in the gaming rooms were meant to be played offline such as badminton, tennis, soccer, and others. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

The entire group of hosts roamed about for a while before coming back to the hall. The butler was still standing in the exact same position, looking like an obedient person waiting on his master. If they ignored his expression, especially the look in his eyes, they would have been fooled by this person.

In the end, the butler opened his mouth. "The only thing you need to do is remain behind your doors, locked after the sunset. You're not allowed to wander the corridors at the night. Understand?"

For a moment, everyone else felt that the look in the man's eyes had become even darker and colder than before. Butler looked even more terrifying at this time.

It wasn't until the hosts nodded did the butler's expressions eased as he nodded at the servants and said, "It's time for your dinner. Are you ready?"

At five in the evening? Wasn't this butler hurrying too much?

But no one dared to utter another word. After all, they felt cold deep in their bones after seeing that threatening look in the butler's eyes. They obediently followed the butler and entered the restaurant. They were guided by the servants to sit in their chairs as a few waiters brought them food.

It looked enchanting and hot. Nothing seemed out of ordinary. So everyone else but a few experienced hosts started digging in.

David narrowed his eyes and ignored the food placed on his table. The butler glanced at him suddenly and raised his brows.

"Isn't food up to your standard? Do you want anything else?"

That threatening look came back. David's eyes flashed with a thought as he smiled and raised his head.

"It's good, but you see, I'm suffering from sickness these days. I can't eat much, otherwise, I'd end up vomiting it all out. If you want me to puke, I'll start. Should I?"

The butler's expression froze as he stood there without moving. It seemed that this was the first time he had ever heard saying those words. For a moment, the muscles of his face twisted before regaining his natural look.

He smiled. "We'll prepare medicines."

David waved his hand. "Don't bother. I have been given an injection by the doctor. He said I shouldn't eat anything for a week."

The butler's lips twitched. "Then… At least, drink water."

"Why are you insisting that I should eat or drink something offered by you?"

Only now did the newbies who were busy stuffing food in their mouths pause and glanced at David. A few smart ones realized that something was probably wrong with the food. They instantly regretted eating it. But now that they had already eaten, what should they do?

Finally, one of the experienced hosts opened his mouth. "Let's calm down, shall we? Those who don't want to eat, don't. Those who want to eat, go ahead. Why are we getting serious about it?"

Others calmed down and resumed eating. Since they had already eaten, nothing could get any worse. They might as well enjoy it.

David scoffed and crossed his arms. He continued to stare at the group of people stuffing their mouths and stayed there until the others were done. After that, they got up and started wandering about.

"System," asked David as he separated from others and scanned the corridor upstairs, "are these real paintings?"

"I don't think so." Shane could swear he saw something moving in one of the paintings on the side.

"I think so too."

As they looked around, the time to be locked inside their rooms came sooner than expected. A long bell rang into the background, making several hosts jolt in shock. The butler's voice echoed through the speakers they didn't know existed before.

"Everyone, please enter your rooms. If you break, you'll be disqualified from receiving the reward."

David sneered. "As if the reward will be something better. I don't believe it."

Still, he agreed for now. He entered his room and closed the door behind him. There was also a key and lock attached. He rolled his eyes and locked the door firmly.

Then he asked, "System, do I have Crana?"

Shane felt strange seeing how familiar his host was acting. So he finally couldn't stop himself from being curious.

"Have we met before?"

"Guess?"

"....." Shane didn't want to guess.

He sighed and opened the host's stats. Indeed, there was already some Crana there thanks to the live-stream service. He quickly opened the shop and searched for some food. He sent the items to his host through text.

"Fill your stomach. Something might happen tonight."

David sat on the couch inside the room and ate his food. Time passed quickly and night fell.

Once it was dark outside, the surroundings looked even more spooky. David couldn't even see anything clearly outside the window due to the fog.

As he was standing there, close to the window, he heard the sound of a girl screaming at the top of her voice. That voice seemed familiar.

Wait, wasn't that one of the hosts who complained before? It seemed to be a newbie who didn't follow the rules and went about wandering through the corridor.

If David guessed correctly, the pics should be responsible for this mess. He walked closer to the door as he touched the lock and smiled.

"Should I explore?"

Shane thought for a while and quickly sent the pass-through cloak to his host. "Use this."
