Chapter 418: The Dark Corridor
"Whew-why it's raining all of a sudden, fortunately there is a manor here, otherwise it will definitely become a soup chicken~" Lilicia closed the door of the villa, hurriedly took off her clothes and wrung out the water on it, there are no outsiders here, it looks like a villa that has been abandoned for a long time.
Merlot couldn't believe her eyes, this was obviously the manor of the Duke of Windrider, and Maxelle must have placed a large number of guards here, but today it looks like an ordinary villa!
"Merlo, are you really okay? If you didn't sleep well yesterday, let's rest here for a while, don't force yourself. Bing Tong looked at Mei Luo who was staying in place, her expression was a little dazed, she seemed to have something to tell herself when she was in the rain just now, I don't know why she didn't say it.
"Hmm. Merlo nodded in agreement, and looked around vigilantly, her clothes were wet and uncomfortable, but it gave her a very strange feeling, and it was impossible for Maxelle to give up guarding the Duke of Windrider's manor like this, let alone let herself in so easily.
"How can this be......" Merlo broke away from the position where the girls walked to the kitchen alone, this is the same as that night, it can't be wrong, this is indeed the villa of the Duke of Windride, in that case, then the staircase leading to the second floor is in ......
"Smack!"
Suddenly with an extra hand on her shoulder, Merlo shuddered in fright, and quickly leaned forward to prepare for melee combat.
"Merlo?" Seeing Merlo in a fighting stance, Xiu Lex was also startled, "Hey, if you don't take off your clothes and wring them out, you'll catch a cold, do you hear?"
It took a long time for Merlo to relax, and now she was the only one who knew the secrets of this villa, and the words of Xinghan lingered in her ears, and if she told everyone here, she would be involved in this dispute.
"Xiurex, you go upstairs to find a room where you can stay, and let Merlo rest there for a while. Bing Tong was still a little uneasy, since she came to the camping area, Mei Luo's spirit was extremely sluggish, "Rose, let's check the neighborhood, although it is said to be the city of kings, but there is no guarantee that this place is safe." ”
Rose shook the drops of water from her hair and followed the ice pupils into the depths of the villa.
The fireplace here can still be used, after the moon star lit the fire, put the clothes of other people on the shelf in front of the fireplace and baked, Lilicia found a lot of fresh ingredients in the kitchen, I don't know who left, it may be the owner of this house, but it rains so hard, the owner of the house may not come back.
"It should be fine to borrow it......" Lilicia opened the refrigerator, it was very well-equipped, it used to look like an abandoned villa, but now it doesn't seem to be like that.
"Xiu Leix, how is Merlo?" Looking at Xiu Leix who was slowly walking down the stairs, Yuexing locked the doors and windows after putting on her clothes, although it was someone else's house, she was only doing this to protect everyone in the villa.
Xiu Lex breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "I just fell asleep, I feel that she has something to hide from us, I found out just now, from Merlo's eyes, she seems to have been to this villa." There was a corridor on the left when I sent her upstairs, and there was a lot of blood and broken glass in it, so I am afraid that it was not very safe here. Well, it's seven o'clock in the evening, and we're taking turns here and changing shifts every two hours. ”
"It doesn't matter, but Rose and Ice Pupil are so slow, it's been a few hours, why haven't they come back? I've already made dinner, just waiting for the two of them. Lilicia brought the last pot of porridge to the table, extinguished the flame of the gas stove, and looked down the hallway next to the kitchen into the dark depths of the villa.
"Icepupils!Rose!" Shulex tried to call their names a few times, but nothing came from the darkness, "Really, I'll go find them." You two, don't steal it~"
Lilicia just wanted to call back Shulex, but she disappeared at the end of the corridor first, and Moonstar seemed to see what Lilicia meant, but there was nothing she could do now: "It's okay, let's wait for her here." ”
Lilicia bit her lip, put down the apron in her hand and followed into the darkness: "I'll go with her, Yuexing, you are here obediently waiting for us to come back!"
"Hey! Lilithie...... Ya. Yuexing sighed and continued to roast the fire quietly, "Why did it become like this, it's a hard birthday...... The atmosphere is all ruined. ”
After sitting in place for about ten minutes, Yuexing suddenly felt a chill pass behind him, and when he looked back, there was nothing but the dinner that had been prepared at the table. The power supply here seems to be limited to the living room and kitchen, and even the lighting on the second floor is only a small part, which makes people shudder.
The rain outside is still falling, and it is not much easier than in the afternoon, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that even this villa will be flooded.
"Click-"
Yuexing hugged her knees and looked at the fire in the fireplace, thunder and lightning were already immune to her, but this was the first lightning bolt that could light up the dark corridor for a whole night.
"Haven't you come back yet......" Yuexing glanced at the corridor that had just been illuminated by lightning, it was very quiet, "What's the matter, if you don't come back, these meals will be cold." ”
"Damn, can't the signal be transmitted here?" Merlo kept trying to debug the mobile phone in the room, it clearly showed that there was a signal, but it just couldn't make a call, the current situation probably Xinghan didn't know yet, in this weird form, Merlo didn't dare to act rashly.
There is a window in this room, and there is only night except for the endless rain outside, and the moon will not come out in such weather.
"Anyway, let's go to the study first. Merlo got dressed and came to the door of the room, and when she went upstairs, it was pitch black on the left side, and I don't know what disturbed the lights over there, so important a place, it couldn't be pitch black.
Broken glass and blood mixed together, it looks like something terrible has happened these days.
"Whew-"
A breeze blew, and Merlo glanced blankly at the dark corridor, in this case it is better not to touch the one, when there is no magic power, you can only rely on your own physical skills, in other words, once the magician has no magic power, then nothing can be done.
"Is there anything wrong...... Merlo stepped into the darkness with some suspicion, but the next second she retreated.
The darkness is like an endless corridor, I don't know when it will come to an end, and the reason why people are afraid of the darkness is not because they are afraid of the darkness itself, but because of those unknown things, human beings will always subconsciously resist them.
"Oh, Merlo, are you alright?" came Moonstar's voice downstairs, and like herself, she was also thinking about whether to enter the dark hallway on the other side of the kitchen, "Lilicia has cooked, come down and eat if you're hungry." ”
The appearance of the moon star dispelled Merlo's idea of entering the corridor of the study, there was still something wrong, but for a moment she couldn't remember what went wrong.
"What about the others?" Merlo looked around the living room, where Yuexing was alone, the clothes that had been baked on the shelves were almost dry, and the dinner on the table next to her was half cold.
"Ice Pupil and Rose have gone to check on the rest of the place, Lilicia and Shulex have just gone to look for them and haven't come back yet. Yuexing paused, and glanced at Merlo's body a few times, "Now, Merlo, Xiulex just said, you seem to have something to hide from us, right?"
Merlo was secretly shocked in her heart, but she couldn't show it on the surface, otherwise it would be troublesome if she was seen by the moon star.
"No, I just didn't sleep well last night. Merlo was going to be perfunctory, she knew that Moonstar was not as easy to deceive as others, and her acting skills were not realistic enough to be believed by everyone, but now seemed to be the time to discuss this.
"Needless to say, I believe in you as much as I believe in Xinghan. Yuexing surprisingly didn't continue to ask.
Merlo's heart fell again, and Xinghan made the same choice as himself, if he faced this situation, he would definitely not tell Camuel and Daisy, no one wanted to involve relatives and friends in the disaster.
"What do we do now? They've been gone for a long time. Moonstar asked with a sigh facing the dark corridor.
"Is there a problem here...... "Merlo whispered to herself.
The two looked at the corridor for a minute, and Merlo finally couldn't help it: "Yuexing, let's go over and find them too, I have a bad premonition." ”
"Hmm!" Yuexing nodded vigorously, and just as he was about to enter the darkness, the voices of several girls suddenly floated from the end of the corridor, "Eh, they seem to be back, alas, it's really, it's worrying~"
"I'm sorry, I've been there for a little longer, oh, Yuexing has already made dinner!" Ice Hitomi asked as she walked out of the darkness with a smile and looked at the dinner on the table.
Lilicia said in a low voice, "That's what I did......"
Ice Hitomi turned her head awkwardly and said, "Uh, it was Lilicia who did it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
"Forget it, dinner is cold, so let's get rid of it in one go before they become leftovers. Silky rubbed her flat lower abdomen, she hadn't eaten since noon, but she was able to eat a good meal.
"Merlo, are you alright?" asked Ice Hitomi, patting Merlo on the shoulder.
"Hmm. ”
"Okay, let's have dinner together, although a lot has happened, Lilicia's birthday party still has to go on!"
