Chapter 35: Blood and Surprises
Ifu, are you alright? How's your eyes?"
Coming back to her senses, Wild Rose's companions were already standing in front of her and asked with a concerned face.
"I'm fine. ”
She shook her head and responded with a smile: "I just opened my eyes and saw this beauty falling, and I couldn't help but be in a daze." ”
"You're really... Do you think we can't see it? You should have a good rest now, and don't take the things that we shouldn't be concerned about. ”
A lot of nasty things happened today, and it can be seen that Ifu is already very tired, and her companions send her back to her room, determined not to worry about other irrelevant things.
Iseti had tucked the quilt for her, Richards was laying the heavy and delicate curtains, Red had prepared water for her at the head of the bed, and Canary had placed the sachet of dehydrated herbs beside her pillow.
"Rest well tonight, and tomorrow we will set out to continue our inquiry into the Twelve Churches. ”
With that, Xia Li closed the door and left the room.
Maybe it's really too tired, my heart has been carrying all day, and I've been running for so long in the afternoon, it's time to rest.
The concern of her friends warmed her heart, and with the pleasant smell of vanilla, she gradually fell asleep.
In her sleep, someone seemed to be standing next to her bed, leaning over and caressing her cheek.
The person had a nice faint aroma on his body, which was a completely different feeling from vanilla.
The aroma turned off Ifu's alertness system, and she knew that there was someone other than Briar around her, but she still didn't want to wake up from a good night's sleep.
...
When he woke up the next day, the tiredness on his body was swept away, and recalling the gentle breath of last night, Yifu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but said nothing.
Walking out the door, perhaps because it was still early, there were almost no people in the hallway, and the half-open windows were constantly flowing in fresh air, and Ifu was in a good mood, but when she was looking for the other companions, she was surprised to find that they were not actually in the house.
After going down to the first floor, the number of guests became more numerous, and a strange atmosphere permeated the river pavilion.
They either whispered with serious expressions, or held the newspaper in one hand and stared intently, even the bean paste bag in their hands was just mechanically gnawed as if they had completed a task.
Her heart chuckled, and she picked up the morning newspaper and read it.
The content and accompanying pictures above are shocking.
The title is "Memories of the Ransack".
Last night in an antique hot spring tavern, an adventurer organization organized a charter to celebrate the completion of a mission with a huge bounty, but unexpectedly they were attacked by a carpet, and even the staff at the tavern were not spared.
But perhaps the killer's negligence led to a fish that slipped through the net, and the adventurer recorded everything that had happened, fled to the door of a nearby house, slipped the note under the door, and continued to escape.
Although he was killed in the end, the note was left behind, and the owner who returned late found out and immediately reported it to the guards, so that the other party could not clean up the mess in the hot spring tavern.
Even though people passing by the tavern at the time forgot what they saw, the incident still surfaced.
They began to recall things they had thought were strange to themselves or their friends, such as the fact that the amusement park was just closed for a tea party in the flower garden, but the people around them reacted in a panic.
"Red, where are you now?"
She asked, stroking her address book.
There was no reply.
"Iseti, Charlie, Canary?" she called out the names of the others.
There was still no reply.
"Excuse me, did you see the five girls leaving here?" Isuke panicked as he described the characteristics of his companions to the staff, and the clerk nodded after listening.
"Ah, I remember them, they went out before dawn. ”
"Can you tell me where this place is?" she said, holding the newspaper in her hand and gesturing to the hot spring tavern.
"Go out and turn left, go towards the place where the sun rises, and you can see a big fan sculpture, and you can start to go straight on the back of it, until there is a pine tree, because something happened... So I guess it should be easy to find. ”
Yi Fu's nervousness seemed to be transmitted to the clerk, and her expression became nervous, trying to remember and show her the way, Yi Fu only said thank you when she heard it, and rushed out of the river pavilion.
The sky outside was as gorgeous as the one she had seen before she went to sleep, and it was a little hard to tell whether it was sunset or dusk.
As the clerk said, not only the tavern, but also the nearby were full of guards, and although they had been washed, the residual bloody smell still made people feel a little sick to their stomachs.
But even so, the scene of the first crime will always be a place where some people like to watch, and the cordon is full of curious young people.
"It's so miserable, I heard that these people were all killed with a knife, and they were neat, and they left extremely horrible wounds. ”
"I've heard... If such a person does something bad, he can make a lot of money wherever he goes, and he has to do this kind of murderous act. ”
"It's a blessing and a curse, I originally applied to join, but they said that only men are accepted, and even the backup therapist only needs men, and now I think about it, I'm still a little scared. ”
Listening to the discussion of those onlookers, Yi Fu, who should have been sorry, breathed a sigh of relief, although she thought it was cold-blooded, but fortunately, there were no female corpses inside, which made her feel a little relieved.
But if they weren't here, where would they go? The contactbook that no one could reach was still worth worrying about.
"Snow. ”
She left the scene and walked into a remote alley, evoking the name of Snow Ember.
Still no one responded.
Looks like they went out with Snowy.
In this case, it must be that they united with Snow Ember and wanted to quietly surprise her behind their backs, deliberately not responding to the call of the address book, creating the suspense of their disappearance, and then suddenly appearing at the right time.
It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before.
Knowing that her companions wanted to surprise her, she naturally had to pretend not to know, and Yi helped out of the alley and prepared to go back to the River Pavilion.
The road was not long, and she could walk back in less than half a month, and she was not in a hurry, thinking about what kind of gift to prepare for them as she walked.
I took the special snow dumplings handed over by the store, but when I turned around, I met someone.
"Ahh ”
"I'm sorry! I thought there was no one behind me. Ifu immediately apologized.
"Hey, ah... Ifu?"
Hearing a familiar voice, she looked up and saw the person who had often popped into her mind these days.
"I'm sorry, I took your nickname without permission. Seeing that Yi Fu didn't speak, guilt appeared on the faces of the people opposite.
"It's okay, I'm just, it's nice to meet you. ”
Looking at Xue Erxun in front of him, Yi Fu responded with a gentle smile.
