I quickly rushed up the stairs, quickly opened the hallway of the secret passage, then opened the door, and ran out, but the room was still very quiet, the door was closed, and everything was as it was. Judging by the situation, it seems that nothing has happened,

But if nothing really happened, then where did the loud noise come from? No, I decided to go upstairs and have a look.

I immediately turned and rushed up to the second floor, it was very quiet, my father, my mother, Alice, Mr. William, and Mrs. Cavlyn were gone, and I wondered where they had gone.

I went back to my room and looked around, and I found the origin of the loud noise: there was a large hole in the glass in the window, and I walked over it, and judging by the traces of the shattering, it was estimated that it was broken by something like a stone, and I immediately opened the window and jumped to the eaves outside.

It was already night, and from this vantage point, I could see cats, dogs, and even rabbits walking through the moonlit meadow. If you don't care about the wildlife, just look at the night and look at the huge moon, and the grass and trees are covered in a thin gray layer in the moonlight.

At first, I thought the point of light I saw in the distance was a firefly as the book says. I've heard of fireflies, which are said to be the only creatures left of the last human society, and it's beautiful, but I've never seen it. All I know is that they will gather in swarms and glow dimly. However, I soon realized that the point of light was not a dim light at all, it flickered on and on, and then lit and went out again. That's when I realized that what I was seeing was a signal.

I held my breath. The flash seemed to be coming from near the alley between the two buildings in front of me, where I had last gotten off with Alice and Mr. William, and my first thought was that it was trying to contact me, maybe Alice, but then I realized that my idea was a little naïve.

I had no doubt that the signal was being sent to me, so I hurried back into the house, took out the battle clothes and weapons from the backpack I had packed up in the morning, put them on myself, took out a black coat from the cupboard, twisted my shoulders and put it on my body, and finally walked out of the room with my beloved black beret. My mind is full of them playing hide and seek for me, and I'm about to have a wonderful adventure.

I quickly ran down the stairs, opened the door and ran outside.

I hadn't been in this place for long, but I recognized the two new faces at the door, probably new recruits hired by my father: two grim-looking veterans. I didn't care, and just as I was about to go out, I was stopped.

They said that my father had given them the task not to let me out of the place, because they had "news", and they said that, and I was confused by what they called "news", so they took the opportunity to push me into the house, and when I realized that they had locked the door.

I had no choice but to change the route, I sneaked back to the inside of the first floor, there was a kitchen in the room next to the secret room, I sneaked over, there was a cook living there, I walked slowly, and then quietly slipped into the silent kitchen under the moonlight, I had never seen the kitchen so quiet, empty and calm, even the familiar snoring sound before was gone.

It was still cold, and the heat I exhaled condensed into a feather cloud, and I shivered immediately, and I realized uncomfortably how cold it was compared to the warm basement just now.

There was a ball next to the door, I realized that it was a maglev oil lamp, I lit it and put my hand near it to keep warm, the light of the maglev oil lamp illuminated the road under my feet, I slowly opened the kitchen door and window, and climbed out. If I used to think it was cold in the kitchen, well...... It's cold outside, like the whole world around you is frozen and about to shatter: it's so cold outside that I can't breathe, and I stand outside and start to reconsider whether I should go back and add a piece of clothing.

Outside the house was a kennel, and I wish 'Beanie' hadn't found me, but I was wrong. I tiptoed in the opposite direction of the kennel to a side wall, and crouched against the wall, observing the movement outside.

Suddenly, a hairy sensation touched my arm, and before I could react, a hot touch hit my face, I turned my head to see a black shadow squatting next to me, I didn't care about three-seven-twenty-one, and waved my palm directly, the creature was very flexible, and quickly lay down, easily dodging my swing, and then it lay on the ground.

I stabilized my panic and took a closer look, it turned out to be 'Doudou', it has grown a lot more, and now it is about the same size as the black wolf I saw last time, and I don't know how it grows, it is much larger than other dog breeds.

I turned to the side and gently stroked its soft black fur with my hand, and when it saw that I was touching it, it immediately got up, stuck out its tongue, made a "ha" "ha" sound, looked at me with faithful eyes, and kept waging its big broom-like tail.

"Who is it?" The two soldiers heard the sound of the tail of "Doudou" slapping the ground, and I realized that it was not good, so I immediately hid, and the two soldiers also came, hoping that they would not find me.

I prayed, but the big creature in front of me suddenly stood up, facing the direction the two soldiers were coming, then turned around, turned its head, looked at me with its blue eyes reflected in the moonlight, and shook its head at its back from time to time, and it asked me to come up?

I hesitated, even though it was a bit big, and it might be taller than I could stand, but I was a little surprised to let me ride it, and it was a dog.

Seeing that I didn't react, "Doudou" immediately "swooped" at me twice, and I immediately recovered, no matter what, I am determined to ride this dog!

I walked up to it, then stepped up, lay on its back, and hung my hands on both sides of its front legs, "Doudou" immediately gently grabbed my hand with his mouth, put my hand on its neck, and then made a slight "woo" sound, I understood what it meant, and hugged its neck.

With all preparations in place, "Beanie" grinded the ground with his front paws, then took a stride forward, quickly turning and running forward. The soldier walked slowly towards where I had just been hiding, and when they saw us rushing towards them, they froze, and "Doudou" took the opportunity to slid under their open crotch and ran forward.

The "Doudou" camel is very experienced, in order to prevent you from falling, it will slow down as much as possible, and in the turn is even slower, and in this way, it will lead me through the streets, because the road is a bit far, sometimes it is tired, it will jump on the top of the carriage to rest for a while, before anyone notices, then jump off again, and continue to run.

Finally it led me to an open space in front of a dwelling, and it came down on its back, and it turned its head to the dwelling in front of it, and then I saw familiar faces by the window: Alice, Ms. Cavlin, Mr. William, Mother and Father were all there, and the shadows on the opposite wall made me feel that they were talking, and I could not force myself in: Ms. Cavlin, Father, Mother, and Mr. William would all reprimand me, and as for Alice, she might pull me in the face.

Suddenly, a dog barked sound, it was the voice of "Doudou", seeing that I had a reaction, it swung its head to the right again, and then erected the hair on its whole body, and then I saw five black shadows entering, the light reflected by the dagger and knife in their hands betrayed their identity, these five people went straight to the mansion, I felt that something was wrong, and then the sword on my waist was pulled out, I looked down, "Doudou" looked at me with my sword in his hand.

Does it want me to fight? I didn't hesitate this time, picked up the sword from its mouth, and then "Doudou" turned back and ran to a slightly higher flat ground, and began to howl at the moon.

At that time, I felt the power of "Doudou", just like the wolf king, many dogs howled with him, and even I heard the voice of the wolf.

I somewhat understood the meaning of "Beanie", it was attracting the attention of my parents and friends, I quickly ran to the fence below the mansion, and then walked slowly along the fence, the dog in the kennel under the mansion was also barking, the barking made me stop, I crouched around the corner, until the barking stopped as abruptly as it began, I began to move slowly, I guess the dog had been cut by the intruder, I continued to move until I reached the door.

The door is open, what am I expecting? I guess the door I expected was closed, and I heard the howl of "Beanie" when I entered the house, and I hope it is safe, my good dog.

I walked slowly into the house, tiptoeing slowly and quietly, just like where I had just lived. There was no sound. The night was silent: no birds, no animal sounds, nothing.

I'm starting to get nervous now, but I can't back down, although I regret that I didn't stay in that quiet and warm basement.

I folded my collar high to block out the chill I exhaled, and I pushed open the door in the hallway, when I saw something down the stairs: it was a foot.

I slowly moved to the door, the hallway bathed in gray moonlight, everything covered in a soft, somewhat dirty dim glow, including the body of a valet who had spread out on all fours and fell to the ground.

To be precise, he was half-seated, half-lying, leaning against the wall, wearing a tuxedo, his feet in the aisle at a strange, unnatural angle.

It was Mr. Othello Amadeus Zack, whom I mentioned earlier, who was a subordinate of his father and a well-known pianist. His two lifeless eyes looked at me, his hat was tilted on his head, and his eyes could see nothing; The blood that flowed from the deep wound in his throat soaked his chest, and the moonlight glistened on the bloodstains, like a sad "Symphony Under the Moon" played for the end of his death.

My teeth began to warn, I heard a whimper, and then realized that it was the sound of my own saliva, and hundreds of frightened thoughts flooded into my head, but I closed his eyes first: "Rest in peace to the dead." ”

What happened next happened so fast that I couldn't even remember the exact order of them, but I think it started with the sound of glass breaking and a scream coming from the room above.

It was Ms. Caflin's voice, what was going on?
