The Eerie Manor with No Escape

[Novel Blurb]

Yuan Xiao received a mysterious invitation.

[Would you like to experience an extraordinary live-action murder mystery? Explore the most mysterious manor in history, where thrills and chills await and danger lurks at every turn. You are cordially invited, stranger, to visit the Adventure Manor.]

That evening, her boyfriend received the same invitation, and they decided to go together.

A total of eleven people arrived at the manor, one after another, and embarked on a thrilling and extraordinary adventure.

The night before they were due to go home, Yuan Xiao's scream rang throughout the manor.

In the bathroom, her boyfriend lay in a pool of blood, a knife plunged into his chest. He had been killed with a single stab.

The Adventure Manor became a prison, and there was no way out.

The group panicked and huddled together for comfort, never imagining that this was only the beginning.

One by one, they would die.

P.S. This story was inspired by something, but to avoid spoilers, I won't mention it in the blurb. I'll talk about it in the author's note of the chapter where the mystery is solved.

The night before returning to China, Shi Huawu met a handsome, well-built man beneath the cover of night.

His arms were strong and powerful. When they kissed, he protected the back of her head, and afterward he patiently fed her water, one mouthful at a time.

Shi Huawu thought they would never meet again, and left without a trace of reluctance.

--

A financial crisis suddenly hit her family, but by the time Shi Huawu hurried home, it had already been resolved.

Her father said with a smile, “Luckily, an old friend of mine was willing to help.”

When her benefactor came over for tea, she learned that the person who had helped her family was the man she'd spent the night with: Fei Zhehai.

Fei Zhehai was dressed formally that day, his shirt concealing the tattoo on his lower abdomen and the lines of his muscles.

He looked Shi Huawu up and down. “Have we met before?”

Shi Huawu hurriedly shook her head. “How could we have? I've never met you!”

“Then I must have been mistaken.” Fei Zhehai held out his hand. “Hello, Xiao Wu. Nice to meet you.”

At that gentle touch, the familiar warmth made Shi Huawu's scalp tingle, and she was once again plunged into the intensity of that night.

-

Her father noticed that Fei Zhehai had a dinosaur keychain with him and said, “My daughter has one exactly like that!”

Fei Zhehai glanced at Shi Huawu and said casually, “I picked up a little fox a while back. She was so playful that she ran off. I have to keep her toy so she doesn't forget who I am.”

Afraid her father would get suspicious, Shi Huawu waited until they were alone, cornered Fei Zhehai, put her hands on her hips, and demanded, “What are you getting at? Who are you talking about?”

Fei Zhehai chuckled. “Little fox, do you remember me now?”

Upcoming Mystery Novel 2: Escape from the Terrifying Island

Her husband mysteriously disappeared on New Year's Eve.

The next day, Wen Sha found scraps of her husband's clothes and wolf tracks by the sea.

A blizzard suddenly hit, and the boats could no longer leave the island.

People at the guesthouse began disappearing one after another. The survivors huddled together in the living room, too afraid to go anywhere alone.

Wen Sha suddenly received a message from her husband, whom she had thought was dead.

[Don't trust those people. The killer is one of them!]

Following the message's instructions, Wen Sha went alone into the depths of the woods and found her husband, covered in wounds and on the verge of freezing to death.

A sign hung around his neck, with these words written in blood:

[An eye for an eye]

Wen Sha suddenly remembered the suicide case that had shocked the world three years earlier.

At last, she understood that none of this was an accident. It was a carefully planned murder conspiracy.
