176. Withered flowers

Veronica's dress was a little too formal, with white gloves and a long skirt, as usual dress, not even a veiled hat was removed, and her whole body was not exposed except for her face and neck, as if she was not resting at home at the moment, but attending a grand banquet.

But beyond that, there was not a single object in the room that could reveal her evil nature, it was in the boudoir of a normal aristocratic lady, and of course, the number of books was higher than the average reading of her peers.

Kelly felt a little remorseful, who would hide her secret in her usual place, but just after talking to the old man, she came to Veronica's door with a preconceived idea.

But if she thinks about it, even if she hadn't been here, would she have discovered something? She had already tried it on the fourth floor, and the doors were tightly locked, and she had just turned the handle with the mentality of trying, but she didn't expect that this most important place was really unlocked.

Was it really because of her lack of vigilance because of her faith in herself? Was she really so lucky, or was it for some reason she couldn't understand for a moment that the door was not locked.

Kelly's best option now was to close the door and leave, and then pray that she would get out of here safe and sound, and the old woman didn't take her business to heart, and then walked away from the place with doubts.

Or seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something, but what can she do, is it possible to kidnap Prince Gawain's youngest daughter?

Kelly couldn't help but feel a little funny when she thought about this, because she didn't expect that she would really have the opportunity to do such an unattainable thing one day, she was obviously just an ordinary college student, but she was so close to this kind of moment that could shake the whole country.

Of course, Kelly can't really kidnap Veronica, it's a dead end, she's already decided to leave here, anyway, today's infiltration has already brought her a lot of help, as long as you are careful when you leave, you may not be able to re-infiltrate later.

But before she closed the door, she noticed something strange.

During this period of time, Veronica did not move her whole body at all, except for turning the book, could it be that the aristocratic etiquette has been strict to this extent.

There was an inexplicably familiar smell that vaguely swam tentatively on the tip of her nose.

Kelly swallowed.

Why does it smell like this in the room?

She pushed the door extremely slowly, but fortunately it was wooden and made no sound under her delicate control.

She walked towards Veronica's back in her most silent posture, as she realized that she had been wrong in her initial judgment, and that there was indeed something in this room that could reveal Veronica's evil nature.

With the evidence, maybe she'll be able to let everyone know about Veronica's evil nature, and even if she doesn't, she can warn Hervin and let him know what he's found here.

Kelly knew she couldn't reveal her identity, so she had to subdue and stun Veronica before scrutinizing the room for any secret evidence she had discovered.

Kelly was now more of a deadly feline than the lynx she had just encountered, and every step on the ground coincided with Veronica's movements as she flipped through the pages, completely masking her own imperceptible footsteps.

She didn't even dare to use behind-the-scenes vision, because she was afraid that if she saw something shocking, it would make her frightened and exposed.

As she continued to move forward, the strange smell became heavier and heavier,

Fortunately, Veronica had no special training, and was probably already fascinated by reading, and did not realize that an uninvited guest was standing in her room at this time.

Kelly finally got a hands-on distance.

Veronica also seemed to hear the movement, and stopped flipping through the book, trying to turn her head to look behind her.

It's too slow.

Kelly stretched out her hands and took direct control of Veronica's neck and mouth, making it impossible for her to make any sound or even struggle.

All that's left to do is ......

Kelly let go of her hand and pushed Veronica to the ground and fled with her face hidden.

Although she didn't even see Veronica's face, and she didn't have time to subdue Veronica, Kelly didn't suddenly run away with stage fright.

On the contrary, she had found the evidence she was looking for, the familiar touches and smells that she had been surrounded by for a month.

What she was looking for was a corpse.

And she did.

The smell of death.

Kelly didn't know if Veronica had time to react or see her face, but she could only run away now, not entirely out of fear, because she knew very well that she couldn't make a corpse unconscious.

King Arthur forbid, she must not be recognized by Veronica.

When Kelly ran to an area where the light couldn't illuminate, she couldn't resist the urge in her heart, and covered her cheeks with her clothes and body, and turned her head to look.

In the silence and darkness, Kelly saw a creature, but she couldn't be sure if it was human, or even called it a human corpse.

Veronica was still sitting on the floor, covering her forehead with her hands, but the side face she wasn't looking at made Kelly feel the chill again.

Decay and death continue to breed on it, and decay and disease slowly spread.

The monstrous appearance made Kelly almost lose her mind, and she rushed down the stairs at a rapid pace, not thinking about whether she would attract the patrolling guards.

Whether the mystery existed had always been a question of great concern to her, but she never wanted to know the answer that way.

Veronica is the undead.

A dead person? It's not that Kelly has any prejudice against the dead, she's been with an endless stream of corpses for a long time, but this kind of moving dead person is another matter entirely.

Whether in ancient legends or common sense, the undead are definitely not a kind and gentle species.

There is a reason for the spread of all legends, and to paraphrase the set of biology, that is, the legends that praise the undead are not terrible, and those who promote the horror of the undead are "alive".

Those who believe in the former are afraid that they will die along with the legend.

Of course, such an analogy is not accurate, but Kelly is convinced that the mysterious dead hiding in this castle, with a large number of fanatical admirers, are absolutely evil creatures.

But how is she going to convince others of this fact?

After today, there's little chance that Kelly will be back here again.

Is Vidonica a dead man, not thinking about whether the fanatics will tear Kelly apart, or whether they might believe it.

Even if everyone believed it, as long as Vidonica walked around the campus as usual, this disgusting "rumor" would be self-defeating.

She was now beginning to wonder if what she had just seen was behind the scenes, or if she was just too nervous.

No way, she was sure, it was a corpse, and it wasn't the world behind the scenes.

A great sense of despair gripped Kelly.
