Chapter 640: The Claustrophobic Garden (Part II)

Although the contrast of Herose is so big that it is comparable to the end of the world, but Rod, who has experienced the inner world of four people, can be regarded as having antibodies, although he is frantically complaining in his heart that Herose is so quiet and elegant is not scientific at all, but on the surface, Rod still followed the other party's invitation and walked up the steps, and then came to the garden next to him and sat opposite Herose. It looks like the eldest lady is drinking tea (or having a late-night snack?). On the table is a sweet cake and steaming black tea. It's just that I don't know why, Rod always feels that this seemingly normal thing in front of him doesn't seem to be very normal, maybe it's because this Helos in front of him is too abnormal? No, maybe it's because this Herose is too normal?

"Need some?"

Sensing Rod's gaze, Heros smiled at him, but when he heard Heros's inquiry, Rods hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, Miss Silos, I'm not really a sweet tooth."

Rhodes wasn't talking nonsense either, because of the "trauma" he had suffered in Celia's spiritual world, he now felt a little sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit when he saw sweets. Therefore, even if the cake in front of him looked so delicious, Rod still couldn't eat it at all -- to be honest, he doubted that even if he got out of the spiritual world, he probably wouldn't have any interest in sweets in his life. It's really funny to say, Celestina, Greyhill and Madaras's spiritual world Rhodes have all broken through, and it turned out to be the deepest psychological shadow left in Celia's mental world, I really don't know what to say.

"That's ..............."

Hearing Rod's answer, Xiluo smiled slightly, but did not say anything, but stretched out his hand to open it elegantly, and soon accompanied Xi Luosi's movements. A teacup appeared in front of Rod, and then she picked up the teapot in her hand and poured a cup of sweet black tea for Rod. In the face of Xiluosi's invitation, Rod no longer refused, but picked up the teacup in front of him and gestured to Xiluosi. Then he took a sip.

The black tea in the entrance is not as delicious as Rhodes's usual drinking, among the black tea that Rhodes has drunk, the best is the tea made by Lydia, of course, although his maid and Marlene are good at this aspect, but only Lydia's black tea gives people a kind of delicious taste like the one in "Little Master of Gourmet Food" that looks like it will shine and ascend to heaven after a sip. But at the moment, Xiluosi's black tea gave Rod a very strange feeling, not delicious, not too unpleasant, steaming with a bit of sourness. Suddenly, it felt a bit like expired tea leaves. But beyond that, Rhodes also felt a strange smell, all in all......... It's hard to put into words.

But even so, Rod didn't say much, he just took a sip and put down the cup in front of him. Then he looked at the girl in front of him. In the face of Rod's gaze, the smile on Hero's face did not change at all, on the contrary, she blinked her eyes and looked at Rod in front of her curiously.

"It's the first time I've seen a traveler from outside. I wonder if you have any interesting stories that you can share with me? Mr. Rhodes, I think you've been traveling. There must be a lot of wonderful and interesting things, I don't know if it's convenient to sue me? ”

"This ..............."

Looking at the quiet and polite Herose in front of him, who was also staring at him with curious eyes, Rod didn't know what to say. Ever since Rod got Herose, he had never had a good communication with Herose, and it wasn't that Rod didn't expect it. It's that Xiluosi's side is basically talking nonsense, and he can't get any valuable information at all, so in desperation, Rod can only follow Xiluosi. It is precisely because of this that encountering such a "sensible" Herose still made Rod dumbfounded. I don't know how to communicate with her. Sensing Rod's slightly hesitant expression, Heros smiled.

"By the way, I forgot about it, you must be tired from the long journey to come here, traveler. Well, how about you rest here tonight and we'll have a good talk tomorrow? ”

"Of course there is no problem."

Hearing Herose's words, Rod nodded without hesitation. He was also thinking about how to communicate with Herose, after all, suddenly seeing such a person made Rod a little flustered. And if you can take a good rest, then it can also help Rod straighten out his thinking and think about how to deal with this Xiluosi. And......... Judging from Rod's previous experience, I'm afraid there should be more than one Herose here. After all, she wasn't Cales, so she couldn't have just had a broken master like Greyhill and Madaras.

"Smack."

Hearing Rod's answer, the corners of Hero's mouth curled again, and then she reached out and patted it lightly, and soon, a ghostly figure in a maid's costume floated to the two of them like a ghost. As Rod expected, the maid in front of her was also Herose, but she was also completely different from the main body, and she saw that the Herose in front of her was expressionless, calm as if she was a dead person. So she came to the noble lady Syros, and saluted her.

"Miss, what do you command?"

"Prepare a good room for this guest and let him have a good rest."

"Yes."

Hearing the aristocratic lady Herose's words, the maid Herose first nodded to the other party, and then she turned around, the pair of emotionless, glass-like eyeballs reflected the figure of the man in front of her, and then the maid Herose looked at Rod like this and said softly.

"This guest, please come with me."

Led by the maid Silos, Rhodes walked into the three-story building in the middle of the lake. However, to Rhodes' surprise, the small building in front of him not only looked gorgeous and elegant on the outside, but also the interior was lavishly decorated, with crimson carpets, velvet curtains covering the windows, and statues and plants placed in the corners, combined with the lighting on the ceiling, it looked soft. Comfortable and luxurious. It is simply a model of an ancient aristocracy. To Rode's surprise, he had thought that the small building was just a piece of gold and jade, such as whether it would be full of broken limbs and bones, or whether it would be completely cobwebs and tattered, dusty places like a haunted house. But I didn't expect it to look like it's quite past now.

The maid did not speak. She didn't even mean to look back at Rod, she was like a person who had been given a command, so she led straight to a guest room on the left side of the second floor, then opened the door of the guest room, made a gesture of please to Rod, and then immediately after Rod's walk into the room, she bent down and saluted the other party, and then quickly retreated. Not even a word was said in between, and there was not even a smile on that dead man's face, to be sure. If she wants to apply for a job as a waitress in a hotel, she will definitely not be qualified...............

"Hoo ..............."

Falling on the soft bed, Rod couldn't help but sigh. After experiencing four spiritual worlds, he was finally able to rest and relax a little. Although strictly speaking, there will be no physical fatigue in the spiritual world, so Rhodes can go all the way without sleeping, eating or drinking. It's just that even if he doesn't get tired physically, Rhodes will be mentally tired. Not to mention that in the eerie spiritual world of Celestina, Greysil and Madaras, Rhodes was as tired as a dead dog. And now here, although he can be sure that the spiritual world of Syros is definitely not very safe, but in the current environment. I'm still relaxed......... So............ Just let me get some rest.

Thinking of this, Rod closed his eyes. Soon I fell asleep.

"Bell---Bell--Bell--"

I don't know how long it took, but the low bell rang and pulled Rhodes back from his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the room was still lit by warm and soft light. And he is still lying on the soft bed, and there is no change. Let's be honest. Rhodes was already mentally prepared, for example, when he woke up, he found that he was actually lying in the cemetery or even buried in a coffin. Or every qiē in front of you is an illusion, and the whole house will turn back into a haunted house or something. But now it seems that a qiē is normal, and nothing has changed. On the contrary, Rod had thought too much before............ Maybe that's really the case?

Anyway. It's a good thing that there are no accidents. Thinking of this, Rhodes got up from the bed, then walked to the window and looked out. I saw that it was still a deep dark night outside, and it didn't seem to have changed from just now, the only difference was that the bright moon that had been hanging in the sky was now gone, and looking through the window, Rod could only vaguely see the dark shadows in the distance to determine where the lake was, where the land and the forest were. I don't know how long he's been asleep, but Rhodes can feel his mind clear. It seems that this sleep has indeed made my spirit much better............ So what's next...............

Thinking of this, Rod turned around and looked around. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, or what time it was, but Rhodes guessed that there would be no such thing as "daytime" here. Because Herose was originally from the Land of Night, and the country of Night is full of eternal nights, and there has never been a sun, I'm afraid that since Heros was born, she has no impression of such things as "daytime".

So, let's go out and take a look first.

With this in mind, Rhodes turned around and left the room.

Qiē was very normal, and when Rhodes left the room, there was no such thing as Selestina locking him in the room and not letting him go out. Rod easily left his room and walked around the house. He also hopes to use this time to investigate Herose's inner world, after all, the idea of this crazy necromantic puppet Rhodes has no way to think about it. Therefore, he can only dig up as many clues as possible from the mental world of Heroth, just like a detective can find the murderer and his motive in a secret room that has lost contact with the outside world.

It's just a pity that after Rhodes walked around most of the house, he still didn't get any particularly helpful clues. The qiē here is very simple, very ordinary, and even more so ordinary. On the surface, this is the home of an aristocracy. However, judging from the decoration of the furniture, the placement of the plants, or the paintings hanging on the walls, Rhodes did not see anything abnormal or inconsistent. This made Rhodes a little frustrated, but it's no wonder that in reality, where is it so simple for detectives to solve cases?

Anyway, it's not dead yet! Where did the case come from?

But Rhodes wasn't completely undiscovered. For example, he has been looking for so long, but he has never seen the noble lady Syros and the maid before. Originally, Rod thought that they should also rest in their own rooms, but after Rod opened all the doors that could be opened, he didn't find any trace of the two people. As for the doors that were not opened, Rhodes knocked on them one by one, but still did not get any response. Even Rhodes went to turn the basement of this mansion upside down, but still found nothing. There he saw only mountains of barrels, as well as the rooms where the food was stored, and the kitchen. A qiē is also very normal, there is no secret room, there are no hidden white bones, and there is no weird existence.

Except that there was no trace of the eldest lady and the maid.

However, when Rhodes returned to the living room, he found that the last doubt had been resolved. At this moment, the aristocratic lady was sitting elegantly on the sofa in the living room drinking black tea, and the maid lady before was standing quietly behind her as always. Seeing Rhodes' arrival, a soft smile appeared on the face of the aristocratic lady Herose, and she stood up. Said to Rod with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Rhodes. Looks like you're having a good dream. The complexion is very good. Where did you just go? I just went to look for you by the maid, but you weren't in the room..............."

"I just went around and walked around."

Rod also quickly responded to the words of the aristocratic lady Syros, he carefully stared and looked at the two people in front of him, and then pretended to speak casually.

"Anyway, I was going to see both. But I didn't find you..............."

"Maybe it's because the timing didn't come right."

As if she had not noticed Rod's temptation, the aristocratic lady Silos, still spoke with a soft smile. Hearing her speak, Rod raised his eyebrows, instinctively sensing that there seemed to be something wrong with this. But he didn't have to think about it yet. I saw Heros smile again and continue to speak to Rod.

"It's a good thing you didn't go out, Mr. Rhodes. It's starting to rain outside, and if you go for a walk in the garden, you'll be drenched in soup. ”

"It's raining?"

Hearing this, Rod's heart moved, and then he instinctively turned his head to look outside. Sure enough, you can faintly hear the sound of rain coming from outside the dark window, what is going on? Rod could be sure that when he woke up, it wasn't raining outside. Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt it at all. But now it is clearly raining, and it is raining heavily. But you don't notice it at all?

It was just a small episode, and after that, Rod began to talk to Herose, and of course, Rod told Herose about his past. And the aristocratic lady seems to be very interested in it. The two sides can be said to have had a lively and happy day. And this time, Herose also invited Rhodes to dine with her. This time Rod didn't refuse, but like the previous black tea, although the food in front of Rod looked delicious, Rod always felt a strange sour taste after eating it, as if it had passed the expiration date. So he didn't have much interest in the food, and just politely ate a few bites, and Helos obviously didn't seem to care about it. So just like that, another day passed, and Rod was once again sent back to his room by the maid to rest. But this time, he didn't choose to rest obediently.

"It's almost time."

After making sure that the maid had turned to leave, Rhodes reached out and opened the door, and quietly walked out of the room. He's not here for a vacation. At the moment, if you can't figure it out and find out the clues in Xiluosi's spiritual world to communicate, then it's all over. Rhodes searched by himself before and found no clues, so Rhodes decided to follow the others this time, maybe there would be an unexpected gain. After all, if you want to say the weirdest, I'm afraid it's where the eldest lady and the maid Herose are before. If Rod remembers correctly, he knocked on every door in the morning, but he didn't see any sign of the two men. And they don't seem to know anything about themselves, and from this point of view, the only problem at the moment is probably here. Either they have another secret room, or there's something in it that they haven't been aware of.

"Alright, let's get started."

Looking at the figure of the maid walking around the corner in the distance, Rod also flashed, and then he melted into the shadows and followed quietly. (To be continued......)
