After the three of them talked about the task for a while, they formed a team and prepared to enter the house together to investigate the clues.

Sonorous Rose took the lead and walked in the front, complaining as she went: "I have turned around this house, let alone clues, I haven't even found a monster, I only see a house full of ashes, and I don't know how long this place has not been inhabited." ”

Hanguang smiled and didn't answer, and after following her into the room, he walked straight to the window and pulled open the heavy curtains.

The sunlight poured in immediately, and the room suddenly brightened up a lot, but the dust that had accumulated on the curtains for an unknown number of years was also brought up, and it flew all over the room, if this was not a game but reality, the three of them would probably be choked to death.

Even in the game, this burst of dust still caused Sonorous Rose to frown, but she didn't say anything more, just reflexively covered her mouth and nose.

The night has been to a place where there is more dust than here, and this reaction is very indifferent, just squinting slightly, looking around to see the situation in the room.

The layout of the house is nothing special, the ground floor is roughly divided into two parts, the dining room and the library, the kitchen is naturally included in the dining room, and there is only one entrance hall, where they are standing at the moment, where there is almost nothing but the wooden escalator leading to the upper floor, and the old portraits hanging on the wall next to the escalator.

It was these ancient portraits that attracted the attention of the night at the first moment, and she hurried two steps to the escalator to take a closer look, and found that they all depicted a young girl. Sitting or standing, bust or full-body portrait, it's all the same person anyway.

This, of course, is strange. If the owner of this house is this girl, then it is too narcissistic to hang a portrait of herself in the room, if the owner of this house is not this girl, then it feels even more abnormal, but this is not the focus of the night, the reason why she stares at the portrait intently is because she knows the person on the portrait. To be exact, she had seen the girl in the portrait!

Caroline...... Unreal Caroline ......

The unkillable boss she had met in the passage under the lighthouse in Tidetown and in the ruins under the sea!

The night was surprised at the same time. Hanguang walked up to her and chuckled softly, "Recognize it?" There are many more portraits of her in the library next to it and in the room upstairs, I was also surprised when I saw it before, but then I thought that it was not strange that she appeared here. It made me sure that Dora's mission was connected to Ambrose's. This trip was not in vain. ”

Oh, yes!

After the night was surprised, they looked back and thought that it was normal for Caroline's portrait to appear here, because they knew that Caroline and Ambrose were related to it when they were in the ruins of the seabed, otherwise she would not have appeared by Ambrose's side.

"Maybe that's the clue?" Nightlight turned to Hanguang and said, "So what is the relationship between her and Ambrose?"

"I don't know. Hanguang stared at the portrait and shook his head and said: "But there are only a few kinds of relationships between people, I can't figure out the tricks, I think they are either enemies or relatives and friends, of course, they may also be lovers." Which one do you guess?"

"The enemy is unlikely, isn't it?" Night, reflecting on Ambrose's attitude toward Caroline, first ruled out the relationship. Then she thought that she had dug up the private letters written to him by Ambrose's wife and daughter in the secret room under the lighthouse, and felt that the relationship between lovers should also be ruled out, so that there was only one relationship left between them, and she guessed: "Relatives and friends, it should be relatives and friends." ”

"What enemies, what relatives and friends?" Without waiting for the night to continue the analysis, the sonorous rose, which had already turned over the dining room and the library again, and still found nothing, came over, she looked at them and then at the portrait on the wall, and wondered: "You seem to be standing here as soon as you enter the door, right?

"Recognize. Night nodded slightly, "Her name is Caroline." ”

Hanguang continued, "We're guessing about her relationship with Ambrose. ”

As they spoke, they recounted the tasks they had done before in relation to Ambrose, and from time to time Rose glanced at the portrait, and finally began to guess.

"I guess she and Ambrose are father and daughter. Sonorous Rose pointed to the portrait and said: "Caroline, this NPC, has always appeared in front of you as a girl, and the portrait is also painted with the image of a girl, which means that she must not be very old, and it is very likely that she is Ambrose's daughter." ”

Nightshade nodded, she thought the same thing, and felt that this kind of speculation might be the closest to the truth.

"Not necessarily. Hanguang raised his shoulder at this time: "Since it's a guess, then we might as well guess carefully, I think Caroline may also be Ambrose's wife." ”

"Wife?" Sonorous Rose was obviously not very interested in this speculation, and shook her head, "Then how do you explain her girlish image?"

"There is a shih hiff in the eyes of the lover. Of course, Hanguang couldn't be asked, so he opened his mouth and said, "Maybe in Ambrose's eyes, even if his wife is wrinkled and gray-haired, she is still the girl in his memory." I guess he painted these portraits by hand, and they were painted by his memory of Caroline, his eternal favorite, which is why they are hung all over the house. ”

This statement sounded quite romantic, so that Sonorous Rose was stunned for a while before continuing: "That doesn't make sense, the Caroline you saw at the beginning is also a girl, and Ambrose's memory can't appear alive in front of you, right?"

"Who said she was alive?" Hanguang leaned lazily on the wooden ladder, squinted at the sonorous rose and said: "I forgot to tell you, the Caroline we met at the beginning has a prefix in front of her name, called illusory Caroline, you know the meaning of the word unreal, false but not real." She couldn't be a living person, maybe she was a projection of Ambrose's memories, an imaginary character he had magically created. ”

His words are well founded. There was no loophole at all, and the sonorous rose was dumbfounded by him, and finally had to admit that his guess was reasonable, and Caroline could also be Ambrose's wife.

The night was amused, and when they were finished, they interjected and asked, "So, is it possible that they are simply friends?"

This time, both Hanguang and Sonorous Rose shook their heads in unison.

Hanguang decisively denied: "Impossible!"

Sonorous Rose asked back: "Who would hang a friend's portrait all over the house?"

"It depends on whether the house is Ambrose's or not. Nightshade paused and said, "There's no way to prove it now." ”

She said as she walked upstairs. I want to see if I can find any clues there.

"I've seen it above, just two bedrooms and a penthouse with a bit of shabby furniture. Other than that, there are only portraits. Sonorous Rose followed behind her, creaking the wooden escalator, and hearing the night involuntarily quicken her pace, for fear of walking slowly. The weights of the two people overlapped. It will directly collapse the escalator.

Upstairs, the light dimmed again, and the night passed and the curtains were opened directly, but her luck was obviously not very good, the curtain fabric had been moldy and rotten, and it fell off in half as she pulled, although she hid quickly and was not pressed by the fabric, but she was also pounced on by the dust. A clean and beautiful face was suddenly half blackened.

"Porphyry-" Sonorous Rose was fortunate enough to witness the rare appearance of the wolf bèi in the night, and she burst out laughing without holding back.

Fortunately, there is a refresh setting in the game. Whether it is a dirty face or dirty clothes, it will be as clean as ever after refreshing, so the night only glanced helplessly at the sonorous rose, wiped his face casually with the sleeve of his robe, and looked around.

The upstairs layout is exactly as the sonorous rose said, with two bedrooms and a wooden staircase leading to the attic. Nightlight wanted to find some clues from the bedroom to verify their guess, but she didn't expect that the two bedrooms were the same size, and even the furniture was exactly the same, and she couldn't see any difference at all, so she had to focus on the wardrobe and wooden cabinets, and open them all to see.

"Don't flip it. Sonorous Rose easily stopped laughing, and followed: "I have opened the drawers and cabinets here to see, and there is nothing in them. ”

Come to think of it, this house has been vacant here for I don't know how many years, and the contents inside have probably been wiped out by the children of the town a long time ago......

Night sighed softly and closed the door to the wooden cabinet, then her gaze shifted to a portrait on the wall.

"What, there's something wrong with this portrait?" Sonorous Rose couldn't help but ask when she saw that she could see it.

The night didn't say a word, but pulled out the magic necklace that Carter the Hunter had given her from the collar of the mage's robe, and compared it with the necklace Caroline wore on her chest in the portrait.

"These two necklaces look exactly the same!" Rose thought she had found a clue, and her eyes lit up.

Ye Shi shook his head, took back the necklace and said, "Don't be happy, this is not a clue, and it is useless to be exactly the same." ”

She didn't explain in detail, and after turning around the two bedrooms, she went to the attic to look again, but unfortunately no matter how carefully she searched, she still couldn't find any useful clues.

"I said that this dilapidated house is not just used to fool people, right?" After seeing that the whole house had been turned over and seeing that there was nothing to be found in the night, the sonorous rose finally became impatient, and complained and said: "Why don't we look for it here, just go to the lake to block the dead that the townspeople saw, and catch it and ask it clearly, isn't it better than looking aimlessly here?"

Then you have to be able to catch it!

The night straightened up and patted the ashes on her robe, and was about to say something, when she heard a faint abnormal sound downstairs, she glanced at the sonorous rose, and hurried downstairs.
