Shen Junyao was awakened by that strange dream.

At the end of the dream she saw, Avarice spoke in such a soft, yet creepy tone. At the most important moment, Jun Yao felt that Avarice's words were not said to Elizabeth, her eyes fell on the garden where the white roses were blooming, and fell on the place where Shen Junyao's consciousness was, as if she knew that there was an invisible person there who was silently watching everything that was happening here.

It will be over soon, she said.

What does this mean exactly?

Jun Yao opened her eyes and stood up from her chair suddenly, the bright sunlight filled the room, so she sighed, and she was not in the mood to confirm the time of the clock hanging on the wall, anyway, it was morning, and it didn't matter what time it was.

They actually fell asleep again in the middle of the night.

Jun Yao looked back at Jiang Xian who was lying on the table, and Avarice's words involuntarily echoed in her mind, she remembered that Jiang Xian seemed to have said something similar last night.

Jiang Xian...... Who are you? Jun Yao was really puzzled, Jiang Xian gave her a sense of familiarity, an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had known her once, and even had a particularly close relationship with her. But Jun Yao dared to guarantee that her memory would never be wrong, she had never seen Jiang Xian before this mission.

"I'm Jiang Xian, what nonsense are you talking about?" When Jun Yao was stunned, Jiang Xian had already woken up, she raised her head, and happened to see Jun Yao muttering to herself in confusion, so she asked her jokingly.

"Ah, you're awake." Jun Yao came back to her senses and didn't answer her words.

"Well, it looks like the same thing happened again as it did the first night." Jiang Xian turned her head to look at Lin Mo sitting on the bay windowsill and shook her head, "Is this a restriction in the mission?" Because it happened in the middle of the night, we weren't allowed to explore during the boss event? ”

"Perhaps." Jun Yao turned around and walked in the direction of the door, "But I think when we asked the families of the missing children before, they really tried their best to prevent us from traveling at midnight to check on the situation. Moreover, didn't the mayor also say it when he explained the background of the characters? They found that the children would sleepwalk in the middle of the night, and they couldn't stop them, and they followed them to find that they had all gathered in the street garden. When we enter this town, we have to follow the rules of the town in a sense, so we can also be seen as a part of the town. ”

"That's true, but what's the point?"

"We're already part of the town, so we should be treated the same as the residents, and if they somehow fall asleep in the middle of the night, who will find the kids sleepwalking, who will stop the kids from sleepwalking, and who's going to follow the kids to know where they are?" Jun Yao continued, Jiang Xian nodded, feeling that what she said was indeed reasonable.

"We must have done something they didn't do, that's why we fell asleep at midnight. As long as we find out about it, we can move around freely at midnight. Jun Yao came to a conclusion, and then opened the door of the room, just in time to see Xu Qingran who raised his hand and was about to knock on the door.

"You're awake...... Xu Qingran withdrew his hand and rubbed his hair, Jun Yao nodded, "Well, I'm going to eat breakfast." ”

There's no need to ask about last night, after all, if Xu Qingran hadn't slept last night, he would have knocked on their door excitedly a long time ago to report the clues he found.

"Last night...... I just heard you say something outside the door. Xu Qingran swallowed back the sentence as soon as he said two words, and he and Jun Yao walked side by side in the direction of the restaurant. Jun Yao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to what Xu Qingran said that what she heard was an inference about midnight sleep, she smiled and didn't speak, but Xu Qingran continued, "I think what you said makes sense." ”

"It's probably important to be mindful of what we're doing. The investigation based on the background given by the mayor is almost complete, and we will visit Alice's house again today, and then enter the bell tower again. Neither of these things took much time, so perhaps the task itself gave us plenty of time to find out how we behaved differently from the townspeople. Xu Qingran said his arrangement, Jun Yao nodded as he walked, what he said was very reasonable.

The two of them had already walked to the restaurant, the door was open, and Yin Weiyu and Ai Yu had already sat down and started breakfast.

Jun Yao's footsteps paused, Xu Qingran also stopped after feeling it, and glanced back at her, "What's wrong?" ”

"Just thinking about the hands of those wraiths." Jun Yao said truthfully, Xu Qingran smiled suddenly, looking very good, "Still because those hands can't eat?" You don't have to worry about it that much......"

"It's not because I can't eat, I'm just thinking about something else." Jun Yao hurriedly stopped Xu Qingran's joke, she was silent for a while, and then shook her head, "Forget it, I just vaguely feel that something is not right, but I haven't figured it out yet." ”

Xu Qingran didn't speak, just looked at her very seriously, Jun Yao reacted that he might have misled him, so he smiled embarrassedly, "I'll tell you when I figure it out, don't worry about it now." ”

"If I could, I could think of this weird place with you."

"I think so, but I can't tell you how it feels. It's just—a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, but I couldn't say anything specific, so I'll tell you later. ”

"Okay."

It seemed that Jun Yao and Xu Qingran had been standing at the door for too long, and Ai Yu noticed that the two people had not come in for a long time, so he asked, "What are you two doing at the door?" Aren't you coming in to eat yet? ”

"Ah, here it is." Jun Yao was the first to respond to Ai Yu's words, and then walked into the restaurant quickly.

After Jun Yao and Xu Qingran sat down, after a while, Lin Mo, Jiang Xian, Chen Yang, and Zhao Xiao also came to the restaurant, and the door of the restaurant was closed, and then the melodious piano music sounded. Everyone tacitly didn't mention last night's incident, just ate breakfast quietly, the gurgling of milk boiling on the electric stove was the only noise in the restaurant, but if there was no sound at all, it would plunge the atmosphere of the restaurant into a cold silence.

When the last person put down the tableware and wiped his mouth with paper, Xu Qingran spoke, "Today's daily arrangement is relatively simple, Jun Yao and Lin Mo and I will visit Alice's house again, and the rest of the people will go around the town to look for clues." I hope you can ask the people in the town about their daily routines and habits, and ask as many questions as possible, and ask in more detail, which will be good for our reasoning later. ”

"What do you ask these for? The people of the town seem to be very alert, and from Elizabeth's letter we can conclude that the people of the town are deliberately hiding something, and we are so sinister to ask, right? Ai Yu asked puzzled, she looked at Xu Qingran, hoping to get some feedback from him, but Xu Qingran did not answer her question positively, but said calmly, "As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, if we want to know what is going on in this town and why it happened, we must integrate into it, become a member of the town, and think from their point of view in order to draw favorable conclusions." ”

"Then wouldn't it be too dangerous for the three of you to visit Alice's house, after all, it can be regarded as a boss-level character......" Ai Yu still wanted to say something, she felt that Xu Qingran was too strange, the three of them were an organization, and they came in in a team, why was she thrown aside now, but Shen Junyao was added.

"I'll be prepared, Alice's side will be more dangerous, but the residents of the town have a strange attitude, so you should be more careful when you investigate, then it will be up to you to hold the field." Xu Qingran rejected her without hesitation, and Ai Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"I'm sorry to disturb your meal, I'm Linda, Assistant to the Mayor." The female voice came from various doors, and Lin Mo, who was closest to the door, got up and walked over to open the door for her, "It's not in the way, we've finished our meal and are about to leave." ”

Linda was stunned for a moment when she saw Lin Mo who opened the door in front of her, as if she was a little surprised, and then she realized that everyone was looking at her, so she bowed apologetically, "I came here because there was another incident in the town, and I just learned the news this morning, so I came to you in a hurry." ”

When Jun Yao saw Linda's appearance, she already had a guess in her heart, thinking of the extra bloody handprint she saw in the bell tower yesterday, and the thing in her mouth should be that another child is missing.

"Could it be that another child is missing?" Xu Qingran knew about this, but still pretended to be surprised and asked, Linda nodded, looking at him with a bit of expectation in her eyes, "The one who disappeared this time is the child who lives next to the mayor's house, called Adam." His family situation is relatively special, his parents died early, and his grandmother is taking care of him. When the mayor's wife, Julie, went to visit Adam's grandmother this morning, she found out that Adam hadn't come home yesterday. ”

"I've just gotten the news and I've come to the hotel to find you, and I hope you can go and see how it goes."

Jun Yao frowned, Linda's words were weird, if the child was missing, now it should be asking them to go out and help find the child, right? Why did she mean to go to Adam's house? What clues can there be in Adam's house, the children have all disappeared......

"Miss Linda mean let's go to Adam's house to see what's going on? Why not find the missing Adam? Jiang Xian asked Jun Yao's doubts first, Linda was a little hesitant, she seemed to be very embarrassed, she struggled in her heart for a while, sighed and said, "Because the situation of Adam's family is a little special...... There were a lot of strange traces, the house became a mess, and most importantly, Grandma Adam was a little out of order. It's a strange situation, and Grandma Adam seems to have been stimulated by something, so Mayor Mare's hope you can go to the scene to see how it's going to be first. He said - the sooner the better, otherwise you won't be able to catch up. ”

Will it not be able to catch up? What does that mean?

Jun Yao felt that what Linda said was too strange, but it seemed that the others didn't notice the strangeness of her last sentence, because Xu Qingran took the lead and stood up suddenly, and was about to go out without saying a word.

"I'll show you the way, Adam's house is not far away." Linda hurriedly walked ahead, and everyone followed her steps and walked out.
