The night was not very peaceful.

Tiger went back to his room alone like a sharp blade hanging over Mahao's head. She was almost certain that the man who died tonight would be Tiger.

Seven sleeping bags were placed in the study, spread out side by side in the middle of two rows of bookshelves, and it didn't look overcrowded.

Rob and Eric are still arguing over Camilla's death, lobbying the crowd to believe their story.

"Why didn't Tiger come to the study, it's because he has a weak heart! He knew he had wronged me, so he didn't dare to face it. Rob's mouth was full of words.

His guesses are completely contrary to Tiger's true thoughts, and according to Tiger and Augs, he is reluctant to move to the study because he does not want to share a room with the murderer.

"Come on, the chances of him not daring to face you are even less likely than the chances of him destroying the evidence." Vera said.

Rob's eyes lit up, "He wouldn't really be here to destroy the evidence, would he?" I knew he was the murderer! We should go get him! ”

As long as he is not suspected of being a murderer, Rob is happy to smear the crime on anyone's head.

Whether it's Eric or Tiger, whatever, don't be him anyway!

Augs defended Tiger, "No, no, Tiger doesn't look like that kind of person, he must be too sad." After all, it's the person he likes who dies, isn't it? ”

When he said "the person he likes", his eyes turned to Vera and quickly took it back.

Rob was discouraged by his words and turned his head disappringly.

Eric kicked over the backpack next to his sleeping bag, "Augus, what do you mean?!" Tiger isn't like a murderer, Rob and I are like murderers, aren't we? ”

He is a firecracker that can be lit at any time, and no one knows when it will poke at his bursting point.

Augs was inexplicably lying down, he just wanted to say something for Tiger: "Eric, you know I didn't mean that. In my opinion, none of you will kill Camilla. ”

Eric sat down on his sleeping bag again, still angry: "That's a good point, no one will kill Camilla?" We didn't kill it, but as Rye said, it was a ghost who killed people? ”

Before his words fell, a gust of wind blew in the study out of nowhere, making a few of them shake involuntarily.

Rob's voice was out of tune, "...... How could it be a ghost. Eric, have you been infected by Ryan too? ”

"Why can't it be?" Eric sneered, "There have been so many murders in this house, at least four people have died. Vice President of the Occult Research Society, you don't and don't believe in ghosts, do you? ”

Rob was speechless by what he said, and had to be quiet.

The topic of ghosts silenced everyone, except Vera remained calm: "It doesn't have to be a ghost. ”

"In this house, from the moment we came in, there was probably a ninth person. It wasn't any of us who killed Camilla, it was the ninth man in the castle. ”

Vera said, "If that's the case, then Tiger is in danger tonight." ”

The flashlight had been extinguished, and hearing such an analysis in the dark made people hairy, and the sound of heartbeat and breathing went out of control.

Ma lay down in his sleeping bag and was not surprised to hear Vera's analysis.

The heroine's analysis is the same as what is written in the book.

At the beginning of the incident, Vera was more willing to believe that a ninth man in the castle had killed their companion than a ghost.

Her guess couldn't be said to be ridiculously wrong, there were indeed "people" around besides them, but this person had been dead for a long time.

Ma is so anxious, but he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Without Vera seeing the existence of the ghost with her own eyes, she would never believe the ghost's claims.

The night is dark, and it is not only Ma Hao who suffers from insomnia.

The sound of the sleeping bag rubbing against the clothes sounded intermittently in the study, and Ma Hao could hear the unsteady breathing around him.

She closed her eyes and listened to the slight snoring of Augs to adjust her breath. can sleep without pressure on such a night, and only their silly and sweet male protagonists are the only ones.

Well-developed limbs and a simple mind are not a bad thing sometimes.

Ma Hao curled up his limbs and was about to calm down and fall asleep, when suddenly there was a "knock" sound from the ceiling.

Her eyes opened immediately, and there was no trace of sleepiness in her eyes.

"What sound?" Someone spoke in the dark, and it was Eric who listened to the voice.

His voice was loud and heavy, waking everyone from their light sleep.

"Knock-knock-knock-"

The sound continued, coming from the third floor. There is no pattern, one after the other.

Rob was completely frightened and stammered, "Yes...... Is it the murderer? ”

Vera shook her head, "Not sure. It's the same sound as last night. Rob, did you go to the third floor today and find no traces? ”

Her words made Eric laugh, "What could he have discovered, didn't you listen to Tiger?" Rob was upstairs with Camilla all afternoon—"

"Eric, don't talk about it, there's a lady here." Augs didn't know when he woke up, and hurriedly interrupted Eric's words.

But what Eric is going to say later, when it comes to this level, everyone understands.

"......" Rob was a rare refute, and he couldn't refute the facts in Eric's mouth, only said, "I didn't find out." ”

"Well, that might just be a rat on the third floor."

Vera was a little discouraged, "We can't prove that this voice has anything to do with the murderer. After all, Camila and Tiger's rooms are on the second floor, aren't they? ”

As soon as her conclusion was reached, the voice on the third floor disappeared.

However, the strange noise did not end, followed by the sonorous sound of metal colliding in the corridor on the second floor.

"Bang-dang-"

The voice came from far and near, and at the end it sounded like it was outside the door of the study!

"Could it be that this is also the sound of a mouse......" Rob's teeth chattered uncontrollably, and pressed against Augs's strong arm that was clutching him.

Eric said, "It must be Tiger outside the door!" Tiger bastard, what does he want to do? Crack Rob's skull with an iron rod, that's really a joy to see. ”

"Don't make any noise, listen!" Vera whispered to stop the two of them talking.

The room fell silent, listening carefully to the voices outside the door and trying to do something.

"Bang-dang-"

Eric's statement that it was an "iron bar" was indeed very apt, and the sound was only reminiscent of a stick-like metal weight, which struck the floor in a flash.

Ma clenched her palms well, she believed that the others were also ready, ready to be broken into, and Augus and Eric even got up and took a defensive posture.

However, the sound of the doorway suddenly disappeared, and only the rapid breathing of each could be heard around.

"What are you doing?" A sound sounded in the darkness without heaving or undulating.
