Chapter 19: Stealth
That's footsteps. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Carnett's perennial wandering habits made him sensitive to this, so he became a little conscious and began to listen to the faint sound of footsteps.
His sleep has been very problematic, and his sleep is very light. Although Al watched while he slept, it couldn't all be up to her.
After all, what if this guy goes chasing fireflies again.
Although he didn't know if he should care, Canette was a little entangled, and he still didn't settle down to sleep, but tried his best to revive his sleepy consciousness.
Hearing, naturally, is back in play.
The footsteps are quite slight, sounding like those of a medium-sized person.
The direction of the footsteps does not seem to be towards the living room, but towards a certain room.
If you have to say it, you have to walk out of one room and out of another. And then......
Cannet's heart tightened as he heard the sound of something like a kitchen knife being picked up.
Hey, it's a matter of getting a kitchen knife in the middle of the night...... Canette immediately came to her senses, but she still didn't open her eyes: no, are you here to kill me?
Lucina on the side was still sleeping soundly with Tia, the water fairy. Guladan had already taken the initiative to counter-summon himself, and was not in the living room at the moment.
The witcher was on his pillow and his heart palpitated.
I have heard of people who kill people after prostitution and get back the money for prostitution.
I've also heard of entrusting assassins to kill people and then get back the commission money.
So today is to kill the demon hunter and get the money back?
Three euros, it's not a small amount!
It's not incomprehensible that such a thought would arise!
What if he just gets up in the middle of the night to chop stuffing?
Well, it could be so!
Maybe it's just pie!
..................
At this time, Cannet's heart couldn't help but think of a term.
That's human pie.
Are you going to chop me up and make pie!!
The more Cannet thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Should I run away?
...... No, I should fight him head-on! But the problem is not that I can't beat him -- it's impossible. My concern is that I don't want to hurt this guy.
And if Lucina wakes up, according to her violent temper, maybe she will freeze the other party in the ice and melt it next year.
If you can, you still don't want to clash with civilians. Maybe it's okay to fight him with a mouth cannon when the time comes......
Just as Carnet was nervously waiting for the other party to see if he meant it, the footsteps did not come to the living room.
Instead, it was as if I was walking gently to the room I walked out of at the beginning.
Take the knife and walk to the room at the beginning...... Why?
Carnett's brain spun quickly: I gathered my thoughts.
Two children, each sleeping in the same room.
And the couple, sleep in a room.
............
That's how it should be. That's generally the case.
So take the knife and go back to the room where you came out at the beginning, that is, you want to kill someone in the house with a knife, right?
That is, well......
It could only be the couple's room.
What is this...... Domestic violence (murder)?
Well, it does seem that something is wrong.
Because at the beginning, when I first came out of the 1 mirror, I felt that something was wrong with this woman.
Even if the two children were unconscious, even this woman was unconscious.
This is really suspicious.
Now that this thing is happening, it makes people feel even more wrong.
It is necessary to follow along.
With that in mind, Canette rolled over slightly, crouched down in front of the couch, and pressed the hairball that seemed to bounce up, signaling that it had quieted down. Glancing at the woman still walking slowly towards the house, Carnet began to sneak silently into the bedroom while holding the cane behind her back, ready to pull it out.
Wrong...... Suddenly, Canette felt that something was not quite right: shouldn't a real assassin be assassinated with a dagger?
Suddenly stand up from behind and stab the other person!
Any enemy will be killed in an unguarded state by the attack of stealth and dagger in an instant, and the industry stipulates that it is gratifying.
And then the enemies are all deaf and blind and will not be able to detect me in any case.
In this way, it is possible to stab the enemy to death one by one, or even slaughter the entire barracks.
If you're good enough, you might be able to slaughter the whole world (in short, none of the above is possible)
The person in front of him is really the eldest lady. She was holding a kitchen knife and actually walked with her eyes closed.
Could it be sleepwalking? Canette felt a little uneasy: No, it shouldn't be.
If there is such a sleepwalker in the family, it is absolutely impossible to make the weapon so easy to obtain.
How dangerous it would be.
Kitchen knives and whatever, most of them are kept in the cupboard.
Otherwise, I really can't tell if I will be killed by sleepwalking one day.
Moving silently, Carnet relied on the cover of cabinets and door panels along the way, and followed the woman to the door without being noticed.
He felt like he wouldn't be seen because the woman's eyes were closed. But this is not necessarily: many people with sleepwalking are open-eyed. What's more, this woman doesn't have to be sleepwalking.
More likely...... Something manipulated it.
The "something" that the witcher thinks of is the soul in the mirror.
He suddenly began to suspect that the soul he had captured was only a part.
When the mirror broke, it was forced to leave with its wife. It seems reasonable to think of it this way.
And Cannett was also annoyed that he didn't find out in the first place, and his colleagues were glad that he didn't leave like that.
Good thing to spend the night here...... He was filled with this thought.
Otherwise, something might happen.
I don't know why, but maybe the woman who was controlled wanted to kill her husband.
Maybe he's going to kill me after killing him. Fortunately, she needs to find the murder weapon first, otherwise I may not be able to detect this process without this process.
If I wasn't here, I couldn't expect Lucina, the bastard, to wake up. According to her personality, she will definitely not follow me, she must wake up here (by the way, she will ask to stay for breakfast).
But then again, Lucina still didn't help at all, just found a place to sleep (and made a cake with other people's ingredients, and unceremoniously killed two large plates of fruit).
The witcher simply stopped at the door of the house, first trying to observe the woman's movements.
If possible, don't plan to alarm too soon. But at the same time, he also took out his crossbow and got ready.
At such a distance, it is obvious that the cane is already beyond the reach of the whip (not to mention not to mention not long).
And the eldest lady dragged the kitchen knife and moved to the bed. Immediately, he raised his weapon and swung it downward, pointing the knife straight at the neck of the commissioner.
