In the middle of the night, Arnold suddenly woke up, felt thirsty in his mouth, and got up to pour a glass of water.

Perhaps it was because Arnold accidentally brought a thin blanket when he got up, which made Lily, who was covered with the same blanket, also alarmed, and turned over in a dream.

After looking at Lily's sleeping face and making sure she hadn't woken up, Arnold walked to the curtain with a glass of water, opened a slit slightly, and looked outside.

It was already late at night, and most of the people in Fortagan City had fallen asleep after a tiring day's work, and with the murder that had happened the night before, no one dared to wander around in the middle of the night now.

However, although there were no pedestrians on the streets of the city, the bright magic lights were still on, and the lights of Vortagen City were bright all night, although this would consume a lot of magic crystals, but it was nothing for the wealthy Rupert family.

In the dead of night, Arnold couldn't help but think of the night view he had seen from the castle when he was tossing and turning at night and couldn't sleep.

However, time has passed, and although the scenery in the memories is extremely desirable, it is now the quiet but undercurrent of the city of Vortagen.

While Arnold was meditating, he suddenly heard a noise in the hallway.

Is it footsteps? It doesn't sound very loud, but it'......

Arnold thought as he crept to the door, leaning against it and listening to the sound outside.

Through the door, he heard the snoring of the two guards.

I actually fell asleep...... Is this the one Rodney sent to me? Is this the kind of guy who can't spy on me, or is Rodney deliberately sending two crappy guys to make his other plans go more smoothly?

Such a thought turned in Arnold's heart, although the probability was relatively low, but Arnold still did not dare to be careless, after all, low probability does not mean impossible, he did not bet on the capital and grasp of the one percent possibility.

Do you want to wake Lily up, but it's unclear what happened, and it would be counterproductive to act rashly. Let's let Beatrice take a look first.

Turning his head, Arnold looked at the clothes he had taken off, and there were two red flashes of red light in the pants hanging on the hanger, which were Beatrice hidden in Arnold's clothes.

Although not Arnold's enchantment, Beatrice understood Arnold's command, and when Arnold's eyes fell on it, the clever crow immediately emerged from its clothes and flew silently out of the window.

Beatrice flew around the walls of the hostel, and after a while, she found another window that was not closed, flew back into the hostel through it, and looked in the hallway for the source of the footsteps.

Through the senses that Beatrice shared with her, Arnold could see and hear everything in the hallway.

The footsteps were still soft, and if it weren't for the silence of the night, Arnold probably wouldn't have heard them at all. And listening to this creaking sound, it seems that the owner of the footsteps is walking up the stairs.

Beatrice flew to the shade of a wall lamp near the staircase, and although the city of Vortagen was brightly lit, the hostel was not lit all night, and the small hostel could not afford to pay for the lamp oil.

Through Beatrice's eyes, Arnold could see the staircase, but because the staircase had no windows, Arnold couldn't see too clearly in the dim light.

As the footsteps got closer, Arnold faintly saw a figure coming up the stairs and into the hallway. With no face in sight, Arnold couldn't immediately recognize who it was.

Who could it be?

Arnold thought, inexplicably, the first thing that flashed through his mind was Kelsusa's face.

Could it be him? If it was him...... That is probably the most plausible explanation, and if there is a new murder tomorrow, then the purpose of the Kelsusalai Fta Gen will be clearer.

Arnold tiptoed back a few steps and walked to the bed, holding his breath to avoid being noticed by the man in the hallway.

The sound of footsteps slowly spread through the hallway, as if the man had no intention of hiding his footsteps, perhaps he thought that the people in the inn must have fallen asleep.

Through Beatrice's gaze, Arnold saw that the man had stopped in the middle of the hallway, and he seemed to be curled up, groping for something in his arms.

In the unclear light, Arnold saw a head grow out of his chest.

It's also not accurate to say this, Arnold can't be sure what exactly appeared from the man's chest, he can only roughly judge the shape of a head, but no matter what, such a big thing can't be taken out of his arms, and the head-shaped thing is too weird.

The man kept stroking the "head" with his hand, as if animals were cleaning each other's hair, and the figure patiently cleaned the head that appeared on his chest for a long time, and then patted the head. Then, the head seemed to shrink again, and burrowed back into its arms.

Arnold watched this strange scene at all, perhaps because of the loss of his heart, for this creepy scene, Arnold did not have any fear, nor did he feel any discomfort, just lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

What the hell is that thing?

As he thought, he turned his head to look at Lily, who was still asleep on the bed.

Could it be Kelsusa?

Through Beatrice's vision, Arnold saw that the people in the hallway were almost walking to the door of their room.

Arnold stared at the door, his eyes darkening.

It shouldn't be a killer sent by Rodney, there is nothing unusual around, and Beatrice's mind control technique is not reacting, in this case......

He suddenly walked over to the door and opened it.

This startled Kelsusa in the hallway—at least on the surface.

"Ah, Mr. Arnold, ...... you" Kelsusa looked at Arnold with a puzzled expression, and through the light shining through the window, Arnold could now read Kelsusa's face and expression clearly.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Kelsusa. Arnold also looked surprised, as if he really didn't know that someone was at the door, "I was about to go to the bathroom, but I didn't expect it...... Why did you come back so late?"

Krsusa looked at Arnold in his pajamas, then at Arnold's slightly tired eyes by the light of the street lamp through the window, and nodded, as if believing Arnold's words.

"Oh, the city of Fotagen is so interesting, I lingered for a while, I spent too long outside, and I came back late. As he spoke, he looked at the two sleeping guards on either side of the door, "Do you know these two? It was so dark in the corridor just now that I didn't even notice them." ”

"They, for some reasons, can be regarded as other people's kindness. Arnold said a few perfunctory words, without explaining in detail, "I didn't expect to fall asleep, maybe tomorrow I will have to ask the owner of the inn for an extra room." ”

"Isn't your room okay?" Kelsusa looked into the room, "and let them fall asleep like this in the hallway, I'm afraid it's not good...... Oh, sorry. ”

Krsusa took a step back—he saw Lily on the bed.

"As you can see. Arnold shrugged his shoulders and deliberately misunderstood Kelsusa, "It's really inconvenient. ”

"Hmm—what's wrong?" Lily, perhaps because of Arnold and Kelsusa's voices, "Arnold, who's where?"

She propped herself up, the thin blanket that covered her body slid down her shoulders.

Kelsusa retreated out the door in amusement.

"I'm sorry, I was about to go to the bathroom, but I didn't expect to meet Mr. Kelsusa in the hallway. Arnold turned his head and explained to Lily, "You go back to sleep, I'm okay here?"

Lily rubbed her sleepy eyes, her long blonde hair draped over her smooth shoulders, and the beautiful blonde hair was as silky as the silk pajamas he was wearing.

"Kelsusa, is he going to the bathroom so late?" Lily's head turned a little slowly, perhaps awakened suddenly, "or is it Mr. Bigswolf who needs ...... It can't be Mr. Bigswolf wetting the bed!"

At the mention of this, she suddenly became energetic.

"Uh...... No. Outside the door, Kelsusa scratched his face in embarrassment, he didn't expect Lily's imagination to be so rich, "Well, you know, cats love to be clean, and if necessary, they will consciously find a convenient place to solve it, rather than a sleeping place." ”

"Oh......" Lily nodded, and for some reason, Arnold felt her voice sound a little lost, "That's right." Arnold, come back quickly, it's not good not to sleep so late, staying up late is a woman's natural enemy!"

What exactly are you talking about?

Arnold had a black line, and he didn't know if Lily was deliberately making a fool of herself if she didn't wake up or if she was deliberately making a fool of what she said.

"You go to sleep first. Arnold walked out of the room and closed the door by the way, "Also, cover the blanket so that you don't catch a cold." ”

"Know—Dao!"

The door was closed, and it was just him and Kelsusa in the hallway, with two other guards sleeping on the floor.

"Hey—I don't know what to do with them. Kelsusa looked at the two people on the ground and sighed helplessly, "Miss Lily was awakened by sleeping so dead, and they could still snore peacefully." ”

"Can I borrow your room?" Arnold also looked at the two guards, "It's a bit rude, but I really can't go to the innkeeper at such a late hour." ”

"Ah, of course. Krsusa readily agreed to Arnold's request, "Well, I'll get them back to my room, and you—don't you need to go to the bathroom first?"

"Then I'm sorry for you......" Arnold was silent for a moment, then nodded.

The toilet is in the direction of Kelsusa's walk, and Arnold's road is exactly the opposite of Kelsusa's.

In the dark corridor, the two of them walked slowly with their backs to each other.

After a brief encounter with the "accidental" night, Arnold at least identified the person in the hallway as Kelsusa, which brought him a lot of information.

Krsusa went out late at night.

The "head" on his chest, coupled with Kelsusa's usual strange demeanor, revealed the secret of his body.

The two guards were carried to the room by Kelthusa, and Arnold might be able to get some information from the two of them tomorrow.

However, Arnold also knew that in this chance encounter, I am afraid that Kelsusa also received a lot of information, at least, he should have felt that he paid attention to him differently.

"But what does it matter?" Arnold turned his face to look at Kelsusa on the other side of the corridor, because it was far away and the light was dim, so he could only faintly see Kelsusa's figure.

"Actually, I noticed it from the beginning. Although they are both reserved now, no one will hesitate when it is time to start. This chess game in Vortagen City is really getting more and more interesting. ”

Arnold looked out the window again, and the sky seemed to be showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, and it would be the last hour of the night.

"It's almost dawn, hmph, it's officially exciting, what will happen tomorrow?"
