33. Fishing in troubled waters
The weather outside the castle doesn't look very good, and although it's cloudy for most of the day, there are times when a blizzard hits.
It was so bad that the snow clearing staff at the top of the castle had to suspend their work, and they all needed to rest at night, so the progress of snow removal was not optimistic this time, and the heavy snow on the top of the castle did not seem to subside, but rather more than that.
"Ah, I always feel like this snow is going to collapse this castle, BelΓ©m."
Kana pointed to the heavy snow outside the window, "Look, it's late at night, but the snow is even bigger, do we have to go out and take shelter first?" β
"It's going to be fine."
Because of Kana's sudden visit, Belen, who was just about to sleep, could only hurriedly put on a pajama and sit up, if she let Kana know that she had a habit of sleeping naked, it would be over.
The noble image that I have been building in front of others is estimated to collapse immediately.
"Miss Kuroko, you underestimate my home too much, although it is indeed a pity to say that the huge hole in this castle itself, but no matter what, she used to be a castle built for military purposes, and those heavy snows still can't crush it. Even if the snow doesn't stop like this, I still have a way to solve it, even if I don't use it often. β
"Is there a way? What's that? Kana asked, "Is it pumping the snow away like a water pump?" β
"The pump is for pumping water." "If the snow is too big. I had to let the housekeeper use modern technology. β
"Modern technology?"
"Yes, because this situation was also taken into account before, not long after I moved in. Something was installed right at the top of the castle. Well, it's like a stone that heats up automatically. β
"Oh! I get it. Kana nodded, "In other words, the stones at the top of the castle are actually artificial." β
"Yes, if the snow is too big, it heats up, and then it gets very hot, and people can't go there at that time. When the snow melts and turns into water, the water slides down the slope to the ground because the structure at the top of the castle is a sloping structure. This will remove the snow. β
"That's amazing!"
"Hehe, it's not something to show off. Speaking of which, is it because of this incident that Miss Kuroko is looking for me so late? β
"Hey, that, I'm always a little scared when I sleep. So I'm here to ask you. β
"So. Now you can rest assured. It's not too early, and going to bed late is a beautiful natural enemy, right? β
"Well, then I'm going too." Kana said and stood up, "Belen, I wish you a good night?" β
γBangγ
"Well, it's finally done."
Kana sighed softly as she walked out the door.
I just hope that the micro surveillance I just put on the table can not be discovered by Berentia so quickly, otherwise I will not be able to implement it.
Because Nianghua Coin has just bought Kana's skin patch. So there wasn't much left, it seems, after this temptation. The next goal will have to be a personal quest of the Absorb type.
"Kana-sana?"
"Huh? Ah, butler, hello. β
Kana, who was called out, was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down.
"What are you talking about? Then you have to rest early. β
"Well, no problem, speaking of which, old butler, what are you doing outside so late?"
"Huh? Didn't you just ask this question? β
The old butler was stunned, "You forgot?" β
Rotten! How can I talk too much.
But in this case, combined with what the old butler said just now, then the real Kana should still be outside?
It's troublesome, I have to hurry back to the room first, otherwise I won't be able to argue if I am found out, and the plan will definitely be ruined.
"Ah, haha, that thing is too much, I forgot."
"It seems that you and Miss Bai Ya had a good chat, so I'll just say it again." The old butler said, "Every night, I and the other butler take turns resting, and the rest of the time we patrol the corridors, so if there is anything in the evening, you can call me." β
"Oh, that's right, I don't remember it clearly, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, it's not too early, you can rest early."
"Okay." Kana nodded, but she remembered something just as she was about to enter her real room.
It seems that this housekeeper knows where he lives, and now it's troublesome, and it's not easy to go back to his room.
Looks like we'll have to find a way to get her out of the way.
"Hey! Old housekeeper. Kana suddenly lowered her voice, "Did you hear anything just now?" β
"Voice?"
"yes, yes, it looks like it's coming from downstairs, where is it? It's like there's still knocking on something. β
"There's movement downstairs?" The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'll go check on the situation first, and Miss Kana should hurry back to the house first."
"Oh, okay."
While the old butler hurried downstairs, Kana hurriedly slipped into his room.
"Well, I've finally coaxed it away." With a sigh of relief behind the door, Kana took off the patch on her face.
"But speaking of which, the old butler is really dutiful, and such a small thing seems so nervous."
ββββββββββββββββ a fake guyββββββββββββββββ
"Kana Kana, are you here to play with me?"
When Athena pretended to be Kana and walked into Bai Ya's room, she was quickly dragged to the computer by Bai Ya.
"So you're used to practicing at night."
Contact?
Ah, is she talking about the thing in front of her, which humans call a computer? It is said that there are also some people who make a living by operating this machine.
"That. Hehe, almost. β
Because it is not clear what Kana's true habits are, Athena is not easy to talk about. "That's good."
"Well, if the contact time is not fixed, it will be difficult to achieve the best state, right?"
Bai Ya said, "I just start practicing at 12 midnight every day, and then I don't stop until 7 o'clock in the morning, and I don't stay here for a second because I have to sleep." β
"But wouldn't that be bad for your health?"
"That's not right, Kana." Bai Ya said. "You must know it, if we do this for a long time, our schedule will already be adjusted. I remember BelΓ©n saying it was supposed to be called, a biological clock thing. β
"Biological Clock......
No, I always feel very tired talking to Bai Ya, not only do I have no topic. On the contrary, he often said the wrong thing.
And so on. Although this little Lori looks a little sluggish, she is still in danger, after all, she is also a player.
Anyway, it's better to find a reason to leave first, as for whether to take Bai Ya first, or wait a while to go to Belen to test the situation.
"That...... Bai Ya? β
"Ah, Kana Kana, can you do me a favor?"
"Huh? Help? This ......"
"Look. I'm going to do that program again, it turns out that it's not 8 lights? But if it goes on like this. There's nothing challenging. I remember now Kana, the last time you told me that you were almost done, right? How many lights are on? β
"This ......"
What lights don't shine, obviously I don't know anything, okay, it seems that I really shouldn't come to Bai Ya here today.
originally thought that she would be better deceived if she was a child, but it turned out that she was stumbling on issues that only Kana and she knew, which was really too light.
But it looks like this little guy hasn't reacted yet, and he has to go.
"Ah, I think so, it's seven." Bai Ya said, "Kana has already ordered 7, in that case, I'll make a little more, let's raise it to 10 first, Kana will help me a little, okay?" β
"Help? What's the busy?"
"I'm sure I can't let you know about the production, otherwise it's cheating, but in terms of some procedures, since it's Kana, it can definitely be done, so Kana can help me reduce my workload, okay?"
"This ...... Bai Ya. Athena thought for a moment, "I think, this kind of thing should be done by myself, if I were to help, I would definitely know some secrets by accident, right?" That's cheating. β
"No, those are just inconsequential things, running programs, and they have nothing to do with logic."
"But that's still not good, I'm afraid I'll be tempted to peek at something."
"Hmm...... Well, I'll do it myself. β
"Then I'll go back to work first." Kana opened the door as she spoke, but it closed softly again.
Oops, Kana is outside, how could she be outside at this time, but luckily she didn't notice this side just now.
It seems that he can't go out for the time being, but if he stays here, maybe he will leak out again, although Bai Ya is still a child, but she is also a player anyway. There were some obvious strange things she could still spot.
Rush out now?
This will definitely not work, even if she rushes out and bumps into Kana now, she will definitely find out that she is a fake by then, unless, unless she is also a fake Kana.
But the possibility of such a is really very small.,So far, no one has thought of using skin patches to test it.,I guess the Kana outside must be the real Kana.γ
So, I'm going to take off my face patch right now?
Athena glanced back at Bai Ya, who was staring at the screen intently, not even noticing whether she was walking or not.
No, it's still too dangerous, if Bai Ya sees it, he will definitely have his identity and plan exposed.
But it's not a way to wait here all the time, because Bai Ya's strange problems are really too much for her to deal with. Second, although it is if, if Kana walks in here, what should he do?
No, no, I definitely can't wait here, otherwise I will have a lot of dreams at night.
Athena quietly opened the door, but there was no one in the hallway, and it seemed that Kana had already returned to her room.
Without further ado, Athena hurriedly closed the door and walked out, but before she could reach her room, the figure of the old butler appeared in sight.
"Kana-sana!"
The old butler who saw him was very surprised, "Why are you still here?" β
"Huh? That one. β
What's going on here?
"Ah, sorry, I'm worried about you." The old butler said, "Just now I looked at the place where you said there was movement, and there were no suspicious people, so you can rest assured." β
"Uh, ah, that's good, it's okay."
It seems that Kana should have met the old housekeeper just now, well, anyway, now I should find a way to get rid of the old housekeeper, otherwise I won't be able to go back to my room.
But...... What is the method?
"Well, I just thought of something to go to Athena, anyway, you should get busy first."
"Okay, then I'll go on patrol first, you pay attention to safety." (To be continued......)
