In the past, this time should be the busiest time for the maids, not to mention the preparation and cleaning before breakfast. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 It was their job to serve their master to get out of bed, but Grace's room was closed, silent, and eerily quiet.

"It seems that she is really sick. Thinking so, Louis walked up and grabbed the doorknob to open it, only to find that the door was magically locked.

"How is that possible?" Louis pondered, "since he is a patient, why should he be taken care of, what is the purpose of locking it up with magic?" At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Louis hurriedly dodged into the next room, which was the activity room, which had been empty, and he used to play with Grace here when he was a child, and he was very familiar with this room.

Through the half-hidden crack in the door, Louis saw two maids coming up. One of them had a plate of breakfast in his hand, and the other had a key, and although they looked ordinary, Louie always felt very strange for some reason, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The maids locked the key **** door and then chanted a spell. Sure enough, the door opened, and they walked in, closing it inside. Louis quietly pressed his ear to the door of Grace's boudoir, but could not hear anything. After a while, the door opened again, and Louie, who had taken refuge in the next room, saw that the breakfast had been eaten.

When the maid came downstairs, Louis touched the door a second time, still locked by magic, and she tried to knock, but no one answered. With a roll of her eyes, she crept downstairs and followed behind the maid who had just taken the key.

Stealing a maid's stuff is a big deal for the Praetorian Captain to do, but sometimes, it's not okay to use it that way. The agile martial arts master only needed a mistake to get the key hanging on the other party's waist, and a person sneaked back to the third floor, took out the key, and only then did he understand why he thought this key was weird just now, it turned out to be a toothless key!

How can you pick a lock without teeth?Louis suddenly remembered that the maid had recited a spell just now, and in retrospect, the spell was not that difficult. Louie decided to give it a try, put the key **** in the lockhole, and then recited the spell according to the memory, and sure enough, at the moment when the spell was finished, the key changed and "growed" teeth. With a twist, the door "clicked" open.

Louie impatiently walked into the room and closed the door. The curtains in this room hadn't been opened yet, so it was still pitch black. Probably because the windows have not been opened for ventilation for too long, there is a musty smell and a pungent smell in the room.

"How can you treat a patient like this, if you are not sick, you will become sick!" said Louie, who immediately opened the curtain and planned to open the window. But when she opened the curtains, she was surprised to find that the windows were nailed with steel nails!

"How so!" Louis was startled, and she turned her head and gasped.

As the curtains were opened, light shone into the room, revealing the walls that had been hidden in the darkness. Hundreds of blood stains were densely entrenched on the wall, and the longest was more than ten meters! Looking at the other homes that were also stained with blood, Louis remembered that the pungent smell he smelled when he entered the door just now turned out to be the smell of blood!

Grace reads!How is Grace!That was the first thought that popped into her head, and she turned to the bedside. I vaguely saw a person sleeping in the futon, lying on her side with her back in the direction of Louie.

"Grace, what's wrong with you?" Louis walked over.

She sat on the edge of the bed and put her hand gently on Grace's shoulder: "I'm Louie, I've come to see you, it doesn't matter if you're sick." ”

As she spoke, she forcefully flipped Grace over. Although she had been mentally prepared, the flipped "Grace" still made Louie's heart twitch, and she reflexively took a few steps back.

It couldn't have been Grace lying on that bed, not even a living person. Years of experience in handling cases allowed Louis to quickly judge that this corpse had not been dead for a long time, and seeing that her face was pale and bloodless, and when she moved her head to the other side, she could see two obvious tooth marks on her neck!

"Vampire!?" was Louie's initial assessment, but she soon remembered the mysterious disappearances and deaths of young girls across the country in Egrim in recent months. The condition of the corpse in front of her is very similar to that of the dead maidens, so can it be judged that this corpse was also one of the missing maidens?

Just a little thought involved these many things, and for a while, Louie couldn't figure it out. After much thought, she closed the curtains and quietly exited the room. When I returned to the place where I had stolen the key, I happened to see the maid lying on the ground looking for it, presumably she had already found that the key was lost. There were tears in her eyes, sweat dripping down her forehead, and her eyebrows and eyes were screwed together with anxiety, but even so, she was still looking for it by herself, and she had no intention of asking others at all.

Seeing this in his eyes, Louis walked over: "What are you looking for? I'll help you!"

"No, you're busy. The maid refused Louis's help without even raising her head.

Louis crouched down and whispered in her ear, "Are you looking for the key to Miss's room?"

The words struck the maid's heart like thunder, and she suddenly raised her head: "How do you know......? Who are you? I haven't seen you!"

Louis smiled coldly and said, "I'm afraid that the Count won't let you go if you lose the key, and if so, you'll want to get the key back even more." ”

"So, you took the key?" said the maid.

Louis laughed, then glanced at the people coming and going, "This is not the place to talk, we meet at the door in the back garden that leads to the small courtyard of the hired workers, and if you want to get the key back, don't tell anyone." ”

With that, Louis stood up and left as if nothing had happened. When she circled around to return to the secret "point of contact" between Jecot and Alva, she saw that the maid had been waiting for a long time.

"You took my key and gave it back to me!" the maid rushed to Louie when she saw it.

"You can give you the key, but you're going to tell me where Grace is, what is wrong with her, and what did you just do when you went into the room?"

Louie's series of questions made the maid shake her head: "I can't tell you! The Count will kill me!"

"You tell me that no one knows, and the Count won't kill you. But if you don't tell me......" Louis took out the key and shook it in front of the maid, "if you don't return the key, the Count will definitely know, and I won't be able to control what he wants to do to you then!"

Louie's threat worked, and the maid stared at the key and said, "Okay, I'll tell you about it, and you can give me the key back!"

Louis nodded: "If you don't tell the truth, I'll destroy the key in front of you." ”

"Don't!" the maid bowed her head, "I said. We just went to deliver food to Miss, and we had to do this every day, three meals a day, but Miss was not in that room, and we ate the food ourselves. ”

"Why do you want to do that?" Louis asked.

"The Count ordered us to do so, and he said to create the illusion that the young lady was still in the room!" said the maid.

"Why did the Count make the illusion, and where did Grace go?" Louis asked anxiously.

The maid shook her head at first, and then said with a slight cry: "How can we know what the earl thinks?" As for the young lady...... Miss was transferred to another place, I don't know exactly where, but Sister Maddie knew that she had been serving Miss all along. ”

"Sure enough, I still have to ask Maddie. Louis pondered for a moment and continued, "What is Grace's illness?"

At this time, the maid's eyes were already full of tears: "Miss she...... Miss, she's crazy!"
