After questioning Betik, Lucien placed her under the protection of more than a dozen people, and then followed Lillian to the room where Princess Aurora died. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As soon as Lucien stepped in, he felt the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and the air seemed to condense, making people breathless.

This is a study room with a bit of ancient European style, black tables and chairs, black bookshelves and black sofas, everything is black, even the words on the books on the bookshelf are also black bronzing, the black wall clock on the wall is ticking and ticking, there is a black leather sofa under the wall clock, and the body of the princess is lying on the sofa, covered with a white cloth.

This is also the only white in the room, covered with a white cloth of corpses.

"What about the people who were there at the time?" Lucien asked seemingly casually, but the data chip was constantly scanning the room for anomalies.

Lillian turned to the knight at the door and ordered, "Bring all the attendants who were present when the shepherd died." ”

Shepherds?

The standard statement of a child of a wizarding family.

Lucien also didn't stop Lillian from calling the nobles of the mortal world shepherds, which involved wizard ideas and factional warfare, and Lucien didn't want to get involved.

In the gap between Princess Auroria's retinue being brought up, Lucien and Lillian chatted.

The wind outside the window grew louder and louder—whining, noisy, and annoying.

"The wind is blowing. Lucien spoke, walked over to the half-open window, and looked down. It was a compartment on the second to third floors, five or six meters above the ground, and there was a small square at the bottom, pitch black, and there was no one in the square, except for the kerosene lamps on the iron pillars in the middle of the square, swaying in the night wind.

"This damn Yilei, there isn't even a pedestrian on the road. Lucien grunted, closing the window and fastening it.

"It's strange, when I checked the room just now, there were still a lot of people in this square, why did they disappear all of a sudden. Lillian followed, taking a closer look at the scene in the plaza outside the window.

"Maybe it's getting late, so I'm going home early. Lucian's explanation didn't even believe him.

The four maids and a male doctor were quickly brought up, and it was obvious that their faces were very bad, their bodies were trembling slightly, and they were very nervous.

Lucien tried to make his voice sound softer, so as to reduce their nervousness;

"Who's in charge?"

A sturdy maid who looked to be in her forties lowered her head and said respectfully, "I am the princess's butler." ”

"Very well, tell me what happened?"

"The princess said that we needed to be alone for a while, and we didn't pay much attention to it, and the princess used to do the same thing, but after a while, there was a terrible cry in the house, and we tried to go in, but found that the door was locked. ”

Lucien frowned and asked, "Anti-lock?"

"It's a lock, we can't get in outside, and in a hurry, the head guard knocks on the door"

Lucien went to the door to check, found that the lock of the room did have signs of being broken, nodded and asked, "And then?"

The middle-aged slave girl's throat rolled, her eyes widened slightly, and it seemed that the memory was not very friendly to her.

Lucien soothed: "Don't be nervous, speak slowly"

"Princess...... The princess was screaming. ”

"Scream?"

"It's that kind of ......," the middle-aged slave girl danced and didn't know what to say, "it's like ...... It seems that the expression when encountering something terrible, the face is white like the face of a dead man, and the eyes are black, and you can't see the whites of the eyes. ”

"The whites of the eyes?" Lucien asked.

This is not the earth, and some proper nouns are not something that ordinary people can learn.

The male doctor, who looked a little older, said in a trembling voice, "I observed it when I was treating the princess. ”

Lucien nodded, pointed to the couch where Princess Arlo's body was, and asked, "Have you moved the body, or are you just dying on the couch?"

"Then," said a young maid who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, pointing to a floor-to-ceiling mirror about three meters high in the corner of the room, "Her Royal Highness the princess is screaming at the mirror." ”

"Mirrors?"

When Lucien heard this, his heart was a little touched, and he subconsciously used the data chip to perceive Lilian with all his might, on the surface, Lucien was still expressionless, but his psychology was already turbulent.

Half of Lilian's face seemed to have changed into a person, although it was not visible to the naked eye, but under the display of the data chip, the other half of her face was a little gray, like a paper man.

It's like being sucked out of the soul.

Lucien pretended to be indifferent, stepped forward and carefully examined the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and said, "The mirror can't see anything abnormal, let's check the corpse first." ”

Then he walked back to the couch and pulled back the white cloth that covered him.

Under the white cloth was the face of a young woman, completely distorted, and her eyes glared out like the eyes of a dead fish, as if she had seen something terrible in her life.

The clothes on his body are intact, and there are no wounds, not like he met an assassin, and there is some red on his index finger, which looks like rouge powder, and he should have touched up his makeup before he died.

I stepped forward and smelled it, it was very fragrant, some like perfume.

"It's a little weird, let's talk about it tomorrow when the sun comes out, and seal off the body and the room. ”

"What's the matter, Lucian, is this a ghost?" Lillian said excitedly as she walked up to Lucian's side.

"Whew"――

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in through the crack in the window, and the light of the kerosene lamp flickered, reflecting Lilian's face, half red and half white, like a ghost under the scanning of the data chip.

Just now, when the young maid mentioned the mirror, the reason why Lucien only focused all the perception of the data chip on Lillian was because he suddenly remembered what Guda had said to him that day, and he exchanged the clues of the dream mirror in the library to Lillian.

And the mirror placed in the library is a branch of the dream mirror, and the scientific name is the soul sucking mirror.

The biggest function of this mirror is to trap people in terror and scare them to death, and the death is very similar to being sucked into the soul, so the scientific name is the soul sucking mirror. The classics also use eight words to describe the effect of the soul-sucking mirror: sucking people's souls, terrifying and self-generated.

This is the effect of the soul-sucking mirror that Lucien saw in an anonymous tome, and he likes to go to the library to scan books with a data chip when he is fine, and this time he finally used it.

The death of this princess is very similar to the effect of the soul-sucking mirror recorded in the classics.

As for why Lillian became like this, perhaps it was because of some unknown side effects that occurred when using it.

Whatever reason Lillian used to kill Princess Arlo, Lucien had to pretend not to know, he didn't want to set him on fire.

The night was unusually difficult, and when the night dissipated, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief, and he stood by the window of the hotel with red eyes.

Princess Auroria's body was burned in the small square in front of the hotel.

"Lucian, haven't you slept all night?"

"It's Lucia! I'm sorry for what happened last night, and I heard something you shouldn't have heard. ”

Lucia handed the milk tea in her hand to Lucien, and said with a wry smile: "The declining family is paired with the title of a federal hereditary knight, I should have thought of the true face of this group of friends around me, I have already decided, from today onwards, change my mentality, and work hard to revive my family." Lucia's tone was firm, which made Lucien feel very relieved to listen.

"By the way, when are you leaving this time?"

Lucien thought for a moment and replied, "Maybe tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

"And when are we going to meet again?"

Lucien was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know, maybe...... Maybe for a lifetime. ”

As he spoke, Lucia's low sobbing voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Lucien couldn't help but put his arm around Lucia's shoulders.

Lucia said apologetically, "Yes...... I'm sorry I lost my temper!"

Lucien didn't say anything more, just patted Lucia lightly on the shoulder, and in the distance there was the sound of horses' hooves, and seven travelers in black robes galloped towards the hotel on horses.

Lucien's heart was only now somewhat settled.
