The sound of the rain outside the house never stopped, and Erin lay on her back on the bed, covering her face with the quilt, as if only in this way could the strange feeling subside a little - this was a temporary room arranged for her by the maids, and when the maid who took care of her smiled and extinguished the candles for her, the horrific scenes that Lin Qiu said began to appear in her mind one by one. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The dignity of the eldest lady of the Canna family made it impossible for her to ask the maid to stay and lull her to sleep. To make matters worse, there was a closet in the room, and the door to the closet was so closed that she couldn't even muster the courage to go over and find out.

It was only a short time after nightfall, and there was still a longer time to come.

In this imperial capital surrounded by ice and snow, rain is definitely a rare thing, and due to the sudden rainstorm, the moon is covered in rain and mist, she opened a slit in the quilt, and the darkness outside the window without a trace of light made her immediately cover her head.

This damn Tyre Cyrius!

Erin cursed inwardly.

"Shhhh

Something was evident passing outside her house. The maid told her that the guest room was near the training ground, and that almost no one would pass by it after dark.

Holy Maiden bless, the evil spirits are scattered!

Erin in the quilt was full of words. However, instead of dispelling the unknown creatures passing through her room, her silent thoughts attracted the attention of the other party, and the sound of the soo turned into a "thump" sound.

Erin knew there was a knock on the door.

The dagger was on the table, and she felt that even if she rolled over and got out of bed now, the creatures outside the room would break into the room before her. She held her breath and tried to look like she was asleep. At this moment, her mind was full of what Lin Qiu said, the picture of the ghosts grabbing those poor girls and biting them.

"Why—"

The door opened.

The sound from far and near did not resemble the footsteps of a man, but rather the sound of some kind of sharp object rubbing against the ground - the claws of a monster!

Oh my God, Irene, she's dead as soon as you say it!

She warned herself.

The monster seemed to come to her bedside very slowly, and finally stopped. The silence didn't last long, and Erin suddenly felt the quilt sink, and the monster standing next to the bed seemed to want to lift her quilt. She tugged on the index finger of the horn and couldn't help but increase a little force, and after the other party tried a few times to no avail, the heavy feeling disappeared.

Blessed Virgin!

Listening to the sound of gradually walking out the door, Erin breathed a sigh of relief. After the sound died down for a while, Erin slowly lifted the quilt and squinted to look out.

The moment she poked her head out, the sound of heavy breathing came from above her, and her eyes widened in horror as she stared at the dark shadow beside the bed.

"i-want-to-play-a-game, Erin......"

Lin Qiu said in a low tone, imitating the tone of the chainsaw horror.

"Ahh

Five minutes later, Lin Qiu sat calmly at the table with a bruised right eye, the cold wind blowing in from the window made the candles on the table flicker, and the dim orange light could not illuminate the entire room. Regarding Lin Qiu's heavy punch from herself, Erin said: You deserve it!

She felt that she hadn't picked up the dagger and cut Lin Qiu off, so she asked angrily, "Say, what's the matter?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, because I'm new to the city and haven't experienced the calamity month, so I don't know much about some situations, so I want to ask you. ”

In the huge manor, the only person Lin Qiu could think of was Erin, although the other party had been trying to assassinate him because of the matter of the Floating Dream Palace, but as the eldest lady of the Kanna family, she must be well-informed and trustworthy in her words.

Erin crossed her hands around her chest, she wanted to reprimand the other party for bothering her because of this trivial matter, but from Lin Qiu's slightly blank gaze, she felt a little uneasy - besides, the other party has nothing important, and he won't come to her at this time, right?

"First question. ”

Lin Qiu took out a piece of paper, this was the list of questions he had listed after sorting it out for a long time. Under the orange candle flame, which could be extinguished at any moment, he asked, "Is there such a fog outside during the calamity month?"

After he finished training his sword skills as usual, he suddenly noticed that the weather was unusual. At some point, a thick fog enveloped the entire imperial capital, and the sudden fog was so sudden that he couldn't even see anything a few meters away. Through the open door, an unusually thick fog invaded Erin's room.

"Should...... It's just a weather anomaly, right?"

In the past, during the month of calamity, Erin would have to stay at home and stay at home. But judging from her past experience, the last time such a large haze rose in the imperial capital was a few years ago.

After hearing her answer, Lin Qiu nodded with satisfaction: "Then the second question, during the calamity month, it is normal for an unknown figure to appear in the depths of the dense fog, right?"

After perceiving the abnormality, Lin Qiu immediately confirmed that the people in the manor were safe and sound, and then went to the gate of the manor alone, trying to observe the situation outside. Because of this, he was sure that it was not only the manor that was shrouded in thick fog, but the entire imperial capital.

And when he returned, he faintly saw that there seemed to be several figures at the gate of the manor, peeking inside, and when he went to look out, they were gone.

Erin's heart was cold, and her instinct told her that this discovery did not bode well - the person who dared to go out in such weather and come to Elisa's estate with a very purposeful inquiry must be someone else. But she still forced a smile and said, "Maybe you are wrong, maybe you are only seeing a maid." ”

Of course, this sentence is more self-comforting.

"Makes sense. ”

Lin Qiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief—maybe he was thinking too much?

"So the third question...... During the calamity month, strange conversations from men and strange scarecrows occasionally appear in the manor, right?"

As he walked from the manor gate to his house, there was a faint sound in the depths of the fog that resembled a heart-to-ear sound, but as he groped his way through the sound of inquiry, he found only a broken scarecrow lying on the ground. He was convinced that the scarecrow did not belong to any maid, and that this was where the previous sound came from.

"Say...... Maybe some maid left it behind when she saw that the scarecrow was broken?"

Erin trembled obviously, she could only subconsciously follow Lin Qiu's words and make up excuses that even she didn't believe herself.

However, these clumsy excuses were all accepted by Lin Qiu, Lin Qiushu frowned, and his tone was relaxed: "Sure enough, it's just me scaring myself—there is one last question left." ”

As he spoke, he placed an object dripping with blood on the table, and almost at the same time, the candle flame could no longer withstand the baptism of the cold wind and was completely extinguished. But in the second before the room went dark, Erin could see the objects on the table.

- A bloody human hand.

Under her frightened gaze, Lin Qiu's terrifying voice like an abyssal demon sounded.

- "During the calamity month, someone deliberately left this kind of thing in someone else's room because of a prank, right?"
