When the five people returned to the lobby on the first floor, it was noon and lunch was already on the table.
People all looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that it still had the indigo pattern, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As the NPC called everyone out for dinner, the people working in the four rooms came out . As if they had made an appointment, they showed their hands and pockets to everyone to prove that they had washed their hands absolutely clean and had no intention of contaminating the color.
Everyone sat around the largest dining table, and Qin Ci spoke first: "Maybe I was under pressure, so I performed above average today. From morning to noon, I have already finished two and a half cans."
Everyone nodded in praise, and Weidong followed suit, saying, "I've also completed more than two cans! I was just thinking about finishing the work quickly so that we can go get autographs together in the afternoon."
Shi Zhendong felt a little ashamed: "My hands are a little slow, I only finished about two cans."
"It's pretty good." everyone said.
Guo Lixia moved her wrist and said, "My wrist felt a little uncomfortable today, so I made more than one can."
Mi Wei looked at Guo Lixia and said, "We still have to hurry up and finish the work. Who knows what will happen in the afternoon."
Guo Lixia was a little unhappy: "I'm not saying anything too much, your group has the most people. Yesterday morning it was Xiao Miao who stayed behind to work, and this morning it was Doctor Qin. Doctor Qin is experienced, a man, and very strong, so he should go out to get the signature! Storing berries is not a strenuous job, it's easier than making tomato sauce. You girls are too delicate nowadays! You avoid labor!"
Mi Wei was rebuked for no reason and trembled with anger: "Sister Guo, since it's not a physically demanding job, aren't you the slowest and the least skilled?"
"You stupid little girl!" Guo Lixia was a little anxious. "My wrist was injured this morning. Our team leader fell and stepped on my wrist! You are not working, but you are picking on others!"
Mi Wei was so angry that she started crying, feeling very aggrieved.
The remaining men hurried to persuade them. Ke Xun first looked at Guo Lixia's wrist: "Sister Guo, why didn't you tell me earlier? Does it still hurt now?"
Guo Lixia waved her hands: "It doesn't hurt much, it's just a little awkward when I use my strength. I'm heartbroken now, and I'm angry. I even made mistakes while working!"
"Sister Guo, you should take a good rest. Let Ke'er do the rest of the work!" Wei Dong was also coaxing Guo Lixia and was ready to rub her wrist.
Mu Yiran suddenly grabbed Wei Dong's arm and pulled him aside calmly: "Let Ke Xun come, he is the one who caused the trouble."
"Okay~" Ke Xun picked up Guo Lixia's wrist and began to massage it. "After all, I am an athlete, so I am professional in massaging injuries from falls!"
Guo Lixia's expression gradually softened.
Over there, Mi Wei gradually stopped crying after being persuaded by everyone.
After lunch, Ke Xun told everyone about his discoveries that morning.
"The doors of other buildings in the castle were locked yesterday. Can we enter other buildings through the underground passages in the maze?" Qin Ci said.
"I just can't understand. Those who built the underground passage should also be the people in the painting. Don't these people have the key to the castle?" Mi Wei said.
"That bottle of red paint could be transported from the castle to the maze, so it must have been done by the murderer. That person must have squeezed the red paint out of people!" Guo Lixia also offered a rare suggestion.
Mi Wei frowned slightly: "The murderer is the **boss in the painting, how could he not have the key to the castle?"
Guo Lixia sneered: "The murderer may not be the owner of the castle. What if it is something outside the castle?"
Everyone was listening to the two people's analysis and felt that it was getting more and more unreasonable. Wei Dong said hurriedly: "Everyone has their own reasons. We should go in through the underground passage before dawn. Maybe we can really find other buildings in the castle."
Guo Lixia laughed and said, "I'm afraid this kind of underground work is not suitable for female comrades to do."
Wei Dong waved his hands hastily: "I'll go in! Ke'er and I will go in! You all wait outside!"
"So," Guo Lixia said louder, "female comrades should stay in their respective rooms and work. Failure to complete work tasks is also against the rules."
Mi Wei's face was very ugly: "I think emphasizing this kind of division of labor between men and women is discrimination against women! Women's IQ is not lower than men's at all! I have always had my own ideas about the whole case, and I can help to make suggestions if I go to the scene!"
Miao Zipei felt that it would be bad not to help his classmates, so he whispered beside him: "Yes, Mi Wei is smarter than me..."
Guo Lixia acted as if she didn't hear Miao Zipei's words, and stared at Mi Wei: "If you can do it, go ahead. Don't you think you don't care about the division of labor between men and women? Then go dig a tunnel!"
Ke Xun was just about to go up and give her some advice, but Guo Lixia was stronger than him and pushed Ke Xun away in one swoop.
Mu Yiran's eyes were always looking at Guo Lixia. Although he was full of suspicion, after observing her during lunch, he did not see any suspicious signs on Guo Lixia.
"There's nothing dangerous about her," Zhu Haowen's voice came over softly, "but her condition is indeed abnormal."
The so-called dangerous things in this painting are naturally things that have the potential to contaminate the colors.
Guo Lixia was still shouting, "Aren't you capable? Aren't you a strong woman? Then go dig a tunnel! I haven't seen you solve any puzzles yet! You're just trying to find an excuse to be lazy! I've seen a lot of people like this!"
Mi Wei was so angry that she was shaking all over. "I don't need to prove my worth by digging a tunnel! I have professional art knowledge and careful logical thinking! I can help everyone! Some people are only fit to do manual labor!"
"You are just being lazy. There were many female workers like you in our factory before. They slept with the deputy director in order to do less work!" Guo Lixia's saliva sprayed directly on Mi Wei's face.
"Shrew! An uneducated shrew! An abandoned shrew!" Mi Wei's voice was torn into pieces. She picked up an apple on the table and threw it at Guo Lixia.
Guo Lixia was certainly not willing to be outdone. She pounced on Mi Wei like a tigress and grabbed Mi Wei's hair, causing Mi Wei to roll her eyes.
The men came over quickly to try to stop the fight, and two of them held the two crazy women tightly.
"The most important thing for us to survive in the painting is unity." Shi Zhendong finally spoke up, "Now that you two female compatriots are the only ones left, you should be more considerate of each other."
Mi Wei lowered her head and cried aggrievedly.
Guo Lixia loosened her hand, threw away the handful of long hair she had taken, and stopped talking.
Everyone took a breath, and Qin Ci said, "We have to finish the rest of the work, and then go to the maze and try to dig a tunnel."
Miao Zipei said hurriedly: "Let me stay with our group. There is only half a can left. I will do it!"
Mi Wei wiped her tears and said nothing.
Ke Xun also said: "Sister Guo's wrist is injured, I will do the rest of the work! Sister Guo, you can just rest for a while."
Wei Dong said, "I'm getting used to it, I'll keep doing it! Boss Mu, go get an autograph!"
Zhu Haowen said: "I will stay and finish the rest."
After assigning the tasks, everyone went back to their rooms, ready to work harder to complete the tasks.
Mi Wei rubbed her aching head and prepared to go out with the rest of the group to continue looking for autographs. But when she passed by Guo Lixia, the woman suddenly jumped up, grabbed Mi Wei's front and threw her like a sandbag, with a madman's expression on her face: "Who is the abandoned bitch! Who is abandoned! Go to hell!!!"
This happened so suddenly that many people who had already returned to their rooms didn't react to what was happening.
Mi Wei was violently pushed far away and hit the door of the blue room directly, and fell into the blue room.
The only sound in the hall was Guo Lixia's dreamy mumbling: "Go to hell, go to hell, and go to hell if you expose other people's scars!"
Mi Wei fell to the floor of the blue room and took a long time to get up, her face full of fear and disbelief.
In this way, I instantly became a "color polluter".
Ke Xun hurriedly helped Mi Wei up.
No one knew how to comfort Mi Wei, and they all regretted being too careless just now. Because the incident happened too suddenly, people didn't even have the heart to blame Guo Lixia.
Mi Wei was like a wounded animal at this moment, wailing to everyone: "I have polluted the color! I will die tonight!" Mi Wei's expression suddenly became somewhat sinister, staring at Guo Lixia: "If I die, you will not live! None of you will live!"
"Stop her quickly!" Everyone outside the room stared anxiously.
Ke Xun could only restrain Mi Wei with his backhand, but he could still feel her violent struggle: "If we are going to die, let's die together! As long as I live, I will make all of you pollute the color!"
Mi Wei was pushed out of the blue room by Ke Xun. Mu Yiran tied Mi Wei tightly with the rope in his hand: "I'm sorry."
Mi Wei burst into tears and glared at Guo Lixia fiercely: "You are a murderer! You killed me! I will not let you go!"
Guo Lixia seemed to have just come to her senses at this moment. She looked a little scared and tried not to look into Mi Wei's eyes.
No one expected such a tricky incident to happen today, and the original plan was almost disrupted.
Qin Ci reluctantly said, "Let's work as planned. Finish the work first."
Shi Zhendong shook his head: "At least one person should stay to watch Mi Wei. So there are only three people left to dig the tunnel. It's too dangerous. Let's stay and finish the work first."
Mi Wei suddenly begged, "Please, just throw the other colors on me. If so, I won't be exploited by that bastard... At least I can die happily like He Yu and Ye Ningchen."
Everyone was already upset, and after hearing what Mi Wei said, they felt even more upset. Ke Xun forced himself to cheer up: "Don't be so negative, maybe we can find a signature today, and then the death won't happen!"
Mi Wei smiled and shook her head: "How is it possible? Even if I can enter other rooms in the castle, it is impossible to search hundreds of rooms in just one afternoon... Hurry up, please, let me die in peace."
Suddenly, a green liquid splashed all over Mi Wei - Zhu Haowen was standing next to her, crushing a green berry in his hand.
Mi Wei laughed bitterly: "Thank you."
The clock on the wall had turned pure green, which was a combination of yellow and blue, but no one looked up.
"We have some clues about what happened to Shadow dragging Xin Beibei last night." Mu Yiran said suddenly.
