What happened in the Manor Hotel gave Xiuge a strong sense of déjà vu.

He obviously stepped into the Ernst Manor with the mentality of finding out the situation of the Ernst family and preparing to welcome the new *** storm, but after coming here, the things that appeared in front of him were obviously not quite right.

What happens here doesn't look like the expected selection and declaration of the heir, but more like the beginning of a bizarre case in some detective work.

"Aristocratic estates, young people gathered, relatively closed hotels, rooms full of signs of abnormality, and individual guests who perceive it in advance......

Xiuge, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but squint: "These elements are so classic, as if they are about to enter the link of conspiracy and assassination."

"But the people who stay here, although their personal abilities, statuses and statuses are different, they are all members of the Ernst family, is it possible that there are still people who can attack these young nobles in the Ernst Manor?"

As for the ideas he deduced, Xiuge wanted to directly reject them completely, but the elements of the environment in front of him were too complete, so he couldn't help but guess in this direction.

"Miss Hannah, are there any other signs besides what you've said?"

"For example, can you clearly see the movement of an object, or can you feel the touch of something?"

"None of them."

Hannah hurriedly shook her head and said, "If it comes to that point, I will definitely insist on moving out of here, even if the family asks for it, I will definitely not stay with such a terrible existence!"

Xiuge nodded in agreement, Hannah's performance was completely in line with the reaction of normal people, as an ordinary person who did not master magic and other extraordinary powers, if she was still calm in the face of this series of strange situations, Xiuge would have to directly doubt her situation.

"So those weird phenomena were found yesterday? Is there anything else today?"

"I haven't been back to my room for a day."

Hannah shook her head helplessly, "It's so horrible there, I've asked the housekeeper to change the room for me......

"Isn't there anyone else who is aware of it except you, Miss Hannah?"

Hearing this, a slight look of annoyance finally appeared on Hannah's bookish face: "I've told many people, but ...... You also saw it, Mr. Xiuge, and they didn't want to believe it at all, and they thought that I had seen too much of it, how could there be such a thing!"

After venting, Hannah took a closer look at the recollection, and then she added, "However, I also asked Elena's sister, who lives next door to me, and she also heard some noises in her sleep, but she has always been very sleepy, so I'm not sure."

"Can I find out Miss Hannah's room number?" I mean, your previous room number."

"Ah, it's room 411."

Hannah replied, "However, the fourth floor has always been reserved for female guests, and it will be difficult for Mr. Schug to see it."

"Thanks for the reminder."

After a few more small talks, Hug said goodbye to Hannah, turned and walked towards the housekeeper in the hotel lobby.

The housekeeper was already very impressed by this young man with a temperament that was completely different from the other members of the family, so she quickly nodded at Xiuge.

"Do you need anything, Mr. Shuge?"

"I'd like to ask, can I change rooms now?"

The housekeeper was obviously a little confused, but she still nodded: "It's still okay for now, but there should be more family members returning to the manor tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I'm afraid the housing won't be able to change at will...... Excuse me, is there something wrong with your room right now?"

Glancing at the map of the hotel hanging next to him, he said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I don't like the orientation of the windows of my room now, and looking at the woods in the manor is easy to be uninspired, and I prefer to look at the wide meadow."

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment by the strange needs of the young man in front of her, and then she smiled, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Xiuge, but the Manor Hotel has been designed and built with the scenery of the woods and artificial lake as the core, and there is no room with a view of the meadow."

Xiuge nodded, "If I want to change rooms on the third floor, what other rooms can I choose from?"

"Rooms 304, 305, 307 and 310 can be selected, if you need to change rooms at any time, you can always come to me or the waiter."

"Thank you."

At this time, because the time was late, there were very few people in the hall, counting Miss Hannah, who was still restless, only the two brothers who were still concentrating on playing cards were left, although Xiuge saw the dragon's tooth card and inevitably had itchy hands, but this was not the time to indulge in card games after all, so he walked to the elevator and returned to his own floor.

Standing in the empty corridor, Xiuge closed his eyes slightly, and with the mobilization of his magic power, the metal disc in the spiritual world began to rotate slowly, and in the invisible and regular sound of gears turning, Xiuge's perception of the surrounding environment had been raised to his own limit.

To his surprise, however, there was no sign of anything out of the ordinary, and the walls, paintings, sculptures, and vases were all ordinary objects that had nothing to do with magic.

Then he returned to his room, where he went to his desk and picked up the incense that had been brought by the waiter.

This is a common "maple magic incense" in the market, which uses traditional craftsmanship and has a lighter taste, which can lift people's spirits to a certain extent, and many government officials who need to work at night are very fond of it.

Out of an abundance of caution, Xiuge decided not to use it for the time being, after all, his knowledge of incense and alchemical medicine was limited, and God knows if there would be any strange ingredients mixed with it.

As for the Misty Grass, there was nothing special about it, but Shug didn't dare to use it at will, so he piled them aside, and then summoned the Running Rat Snikki, which landed next to the incense and the Ashweed, and he turned his head curiously to smell it, and then sneeze in irritation.

"Quick, it's time to get to work."

Xiuge reached out and picked up Snicky and threw it on the carpet, so under Xiuge's forced "squeezing", Snich once again searched the room meticulously, this time Xiuge's order was given more carefully, and he even asked Snikch to go under the carpet and search little by little.

However, after a long round of searching, Shuge still found nothing, and as Hannah had previously stated, the walls and floors of the manor hotel were made of solid and solid stone slabs, and there were no crevices for rats to enter and exit.

Another round of searches was fruitless, so Xiuge leaned back against his desk and thought about it seriously.

"Either out of an abundance of caution and leave Ernst Manor now...... Either they were forcibly left behind for the sake of more information and competition for Ernst's succession. But as things stand, it's clear that something isn't quite right with this hotel, at least staying in a room."

Hug thought about it for a moment, and an idea immediately popped into his mind.

"Okay, I won't sleep tonight."

He grabbed the revolver, put on his coat, and walked out of the room.

In the lobby of the hotel, the two brothers, who were drinking and playing cards, looked at Xiuge who appeared again, and their faces were full of surprise.

"Are you going out?"

"Of course not."

Shuge put down his rifle, then dragged a chair to sit down at the table next to the two of them, and he raised his hand to greet the waiter on the night shift in the hall, "Bring me a cup of herbal tea, the kind that can refresh you."

Then he turned to look at the two brothers in shock, "I went back to my room and thought about it, the dragon tooth card is indeed very attractive, but it ...... I don't have enough patience to teach right now."

Niels' expressions immediately shifted from astonishment to joy, and they laughed, then clapped their hands in unison.

"Come on, come on, you're a newbie, then I highly recommend the Hain deck, it's straightforward."

"If you want me to say it's better to choose the wasteland series, this set doesn't use your brains at all, and you can win by playing it......

Although the two brothers, who were addicted to dragon tooth cards, were still puzzled by Xiuge's behavior of playing cards with firearms, the excitement of "pulling people into the pit" still overcame their doubts, and soon the enthusiastic "novice teaching" began.

"Beautiful! I'll just say, the Hain deck is for all newbies!"

"I think it's a newbie's good luck, come again!". z.br>

「…… No, no...... Have you ever played dragon tooth cards before? How can you calculate it better than I do......

"I won't let you go, fair showdown."

"Do you want to gamble on something?"

In the course of round after round, time flies.

At night, the Ernst Manor was silent, and from the lobby of the hotel, one could only see the magic lamps erected in the distance at the edge of the manor's woods, and in the light, some of the manor's guards were slowly patrolling.

It was close to one o'clock in the morning, and the sky was snowing again, and the hotel lobby seemed to be getting a little cold.

The two brothers were a little tired after a night of playing cards, but by the time they began to yawn, Shuge became more energetic, his magic working at a steady rate, a force that kept him from getting sleepy on the one hand, and strengthened his senses on the other, allowing him to catch all the movement around him.

The two young men were not just fools who knew how to have fun, and this slightly unusual behavior of Shug made them aware of something, so Nils, as the elder brother, called the waiter and replaced the drinks they drank with herbal teas that could refresh them.

At this moment, with the exception of the few cases of the three of them, the young nobles in this hotel should have fallen asleep or were ready to rest.

"If anything, it's almost time."

Xiuge said silently in his heart, and at this time, it was the end of another round of cards, so Xiuge took the initiative to pick up the cards and began to shuffle.

However, before he could put down the cards in his hand, a strange fluctuation that Xiuge had been waiting for for a long, long time finally came, and his hands immediately froze in mid-air, and the magic began to radiate rapidly, trying to confirm the specific source of the strange feeling.

A situation occurred that surprised Shuge.

He was sure that he did feel a sudden fluctuation, but strangely enough, it seemed extremely dispersed—it seemed to be non-existent, and it seemed to be scattered throughout the manor hotel, and in Xiuge's magical perception, the power was shaped like flowing water that spread evenly across the nearby walls, floors, and ceilings......

"What's going on?"

In the midst of his confusion, Shuge noticed that his metal disc had begun to spin at an accelerated pace, and with this change, he noticed that the strange magic that had been evenly distributed around him had begun to move towards the higher part of the hotel, and was quickly out of Xiuge's perceptual range.

"Is it going upstairs?"

According to the direction of the magic, Xiuge immediately made a corresponding judgment, so he put down the cards in his hand and stood up from his chair.

The Niels brothers' attention was caught by the two brothers, but before they could react, a piercing sound of glass shattering could be heard from above the hotel, and then a large amount of glass shards smashed into the open space in front of the hall with a delicate table lamp embedded with magic crystals.

"What's going on?"

The waiter in the hall and the Nils brothers were dumbfounded, but before they could react, Hug had already picked up his revolver rifle and strode out of the lobby of the hotel, where he stood still away from the pile of shards of glass and looked up.

At this moment, a high-pitched, mournful female scream came from above the hotel, and anyone could hear the fear and fear in it.

Quiet hotel in this one

Moment was completely awakened by the scream, and almost all the rooms were lit up.

The aristocratic ladies on the fourth floor of the hotel opened the window in confusion and panic, and they looked out cautiously, and then they realized that their sister, Miss Elena Ernst, who lived in room 410, was being "pushed" out of her window little by little.

Poor Elena had apparently been awakened from her sleep, dressed in her nightgowns, with what appeared to be a little blood stained by shards of glass, and she was constantly trying to pick the window edge of the room with her hands to prevent herself from being pushed out further.

However, no matter how hard Elena Ernst tried, there was still a force pushing her outwards little by little, and finally, she hung on the edge of the window in a frightened scream, her body swaying back and forth in mid-air, and she looked like she was in danger.
