Chapter 9: Ophilis Manor (3)

"Not to mention the comparison with the rules in the hall, the content on the paper itself has obvious conflicts, and the last one is even more directly showdown...... Can it be so interfering? ”

Chu Chen muttered to himself, folded the note in half, and then took out the second note.

This note was different from the previous one, with no rules on it, more like a page torn from a diary.

[On November 2nd, Jessica's tuition has been in arrears for too long, and Lilith's condition is getting worse and worse, as their father, I should have taken care of everything, but what can a declining baron do......]

Baron......

"The diary of the head of the manor?" Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, this kind of small room was definitely not the bedroom of the head of the family.

So this note was torn off from somewhere else and brought here?

"Lilith's words, the original owner of the bear doll? The age at which you can still use a doll as a gift, so is it a sister? Jessica, who is still in school, is her sister? ”

After sorting out the identities and relationships of these names, Chu Chen continued to look down.

[On the morning of 11.6, a fallen believer who was hunted down fled to my territory, and he was so badly injured that I was easily subdued, and I found a strange heart in him, a black heart full of magic. 】

[On the afternoon of 11.6, I killed him, buried him under a tree, and lied to the knights who were chasing him, and I swear that I have no intention of betraying the king! But that heart may be the key to saving Ophelis! 】

[11.21, I can't control myself, I hurt Lilith, I became a monster!] I have to be locked up, no, it's not enough! The armor of the Pope's blessing may be able to stop me! I can't hurt my family, I can't be in front of them! 】

This is the end of the text, after all, there is only the content of a piece of paper, and I can't remember much.

After reading this, Chu Chen's brows gradually furrowed, and he opened his mouth and muttered to himself, "Hmm...... Something is wrong. ”

Not to mention that I can't control myself, why can I still write a diary, and write such an unsightly thing as "deceiving the king and hacking my heart" in my diary?

Does this person have a problem with his brain?

"There are two possibilities, first, this is a hint from Paradise, in fact, there is no such thing as a diary. Second, 'it' interfered with someone here before to write it and mislead us. ”

After thinking about it carefully, Chu Chen said again: "Of course, it is not ruled out that the baron is a sand mouth. ”

Silently put the note away, Chu Chen lay down on the bed, thoughts surging in his head.

Combining the information of the two slips of paper, his plan of action for the next day slowly came to his mind.

The basement, the baron's bedroom, the tree where the body is buried.

Trap or not, all three places are worth exploring.

The items hidden in the former may be the key to passing this trial.

And the latter two, Chu Chen mainly wanted to verify the authenticity of the content of the note.

After all, "Optional Mission 2" is about figuring out what happened in the manor.

In the case of ensuring the main quest and your own safety, the optional quests are of course the best to complete.

"I'll be busy tomorrow, so let's take a break." Chu Chen smiled bitterly, moved his gaze to the shadow standing aside, and asked,

"I'm going to sleep for a while, do you need to sleep?"

The shadow shook its head, as an energy body, it didn't need to eat and excrete sleep like a living being.

"Then it's hard for you to keep vigil." Chu Chen smiled and rubbed the shadow's head, it felt very weird, a bit like jelly.

[Shadow Warrior] consumes 100 points of divine power except for the initial summoning, and after that, it will only consume 1 point of divine power per second.

And the passive of the first effect of Bloodline [Gluttony] is exactly 1 point of divine power recovery per second.

Just offset!

After thinking about it, Chu Chen took out the "Founding Father" sledgehammer from the storage space, handed it to the shadow, and said:

"You won't be tired just use this, don't stand there, sit next to me, if someone knocks on the door, don't pay attention, if someone breaks in, just pick up the hammer and him, understand?"

Hearing this, the shadow nodded, it clenched the sledgehammer hard, stared at Chu Chen with both eyes, and suddenly leaned its head forward.

Chu Chen was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, stretched out his hand and rubbed it twice on the shadow head, and said with some amusement: "How can it be like a dog?" ”

The shadow shook his head and seemed to be very happy, and Chu Chen also smiled, with a little more meaning in his eyes.

The so-called ...... Self-aware?

"I'll go to bed first, and I'll leave it to you tonight." After pinching two more handfuls on the shadow head, Chu Chen turned around and closed his eyes and lay down, and fell asleep after a while.

Previously, because of the overload of his brain, Chu Chen could hardly sleep well one night, and he would always be woken up in the middle of the night.

This has been going on for a long time, and it has also made him practice a magic skill of "sleeping with your eyes closed".

After all, rest time is always precious for him.

The breathing gradually became steady, the room was silent, I don't know how long it took, and suddenly ......

"Knock knock!"

A quick knock on the door broke the silence of the room!

Chu opened his eyes suddenly, took out his knife and got up, and only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the familiar black shadow.

The shadow was sitting beside him, sledgehammer in hand, staring intently at the door, always on the lookout for possible intruders.

Loyal, never die, never tired.

This is where the Shadow Warrior is reliable!

Chu Chen patted the shadow on the shoulder, signaled that he didn't need to pay attention to the knock on the door, lay down and covered the quilt again, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

A small note in the room said that you should not respond to a knock on the door.

The "response" here, Chu Chen understands as not to make a sound.

After all, "speaking up" means that there is someone in the room.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

No one answered, the knock on the door became more violent, and in the silence of the room, it was like a ghost asking for his life.

"All the time?" Chu Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

[4. If someone knocks on the door in the room, don't respond, cover the quilt and wait for the knock to end.] If the knocking doesn't stop, block the door with all movable items. 】

The first half of this rule is fine, but the second half clearly conflicts with the "don't move anything" in Article 3.

Chu Chen's interpretation of this rule is more inclined to "the first half is right, and the second half is wrong".

But now the knock on the door has been non-stop, which makes him a little nervous.

After all, even a powerful guy like Bai Mao almost died inside, and if something really rushed in, there was no chance of survival with him and the shadow alone.

What to do......

This posture, in case it really breaks in......

Do you want to move things to block the door of the house?

To move or not to move? This is a problem.

Just as Chu Chen was shaking his flag from side to side, a low and panicked roar suddenly came from outside the door.

After about two or three seconds, the roar faded away, and everything seemed to be back to normal.

"What's that? Someone got hit? Chu Chen was a little confused.

Seeing that there seemed to be no movement outside, he slowly exhaled a breath and fell back into the bed: "Forget it, it's not good for you to be hit, so rest first." ”

Close your eyes, relax your body, and your breathing gradually flattens.

I don't know how long it was, but the sun rose and a shrill bell rang in the manor, announcing the dawn of a new day.

Chu Chen opened his eyes, took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and sure enough, it was eight o'clock in the morning.

"Blue Star's mobile phone looks at the time here is really no problem? Is this how the park is arranged? ”

"And the bell reminds us that it's time, for fear that someone will oversleep?" Bowing his head and pondering, Chu Chen rubbed the head of the shadow who had been holding on all night on the side, and said,

"Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest."

The shadow nodded when he heard this, although it would not be tired, but it still obediently turned into a pool of black shadows and melted into Chu Chen's feet.

"Something that's unexpectedly useful." couldn't help but laugh twice, and Chu Chen sat up from the bed.

Before he could stand on his feet, his eyes suddenly shook violently, and the whole space seemed to tremble violently!

The surroundings shattered into countless pieces like glass, revealing a pitch blackness, which was then put back together again.

The brain was in a trance, the vision suddenly became blank, and the body lost its center of gravity and accidentally fell to the ground.

Consciousness gradually recovered, Chu Chen shook his head and got up from the ground, took out a kitchen knife for the first time, and looked around vigilantly.

Subsequently...... He froze.

No tables, no wardrobes, not even ...... Even the bed he just slept in turned into a pile of straw!

Completely unfamiliar environment!

Over here...... Not his room!
