Ace Snake soon left the Eastern Side, and the substitute received a clue about the "Apostle of Desire" Patrick Jason Beria, and he had to rush to participate in the operation to encircle and suppress this demon, so there was no time to delay here, anyway, when the matter was concluded, this level of reporting would be shared by the three churches, just to avoid an irreparable catastrophe.

This afternoon, Klein did not meet Dr. Allen, who sent his wife to a check-up, at the Cragg Club, and there was no speculation that Will Onsetin had started the cycle, but the wind outside the window still made him wonder.

It wasn't long before Iconser Bernard, who belonged to the Heart of the Machine, arrived and informed Klein Jason that he had escaped from the Substitute Punisher again, and the "Singer of the Gods" was furious enough to produce the storm.

After all, there is always the course of certain things that does not change because of accidents.

When the two Orthodox Churches were worried about the "Unknown Evil God Incident" in the Eastern Side, and the Storm Church was angry about the "Demon Apostles", Duke Negan rode in his comfortable luxury carriage to visit a young mistress whom he had loved for the past two years.

Duke Negan's destination was in the Jowood district, not far from the Cathedral of the Holy Winds, and it was to protect himself that he moved several of his lovers' residences to this vicinity.

And the Assassin was already hiding here.

The assassination of a duke, the interception of the "Black Emperor" and the twilight above the trend of the times are not directly related to Esther.

She didn't know anything about it.

The East End soon returned to normalcy, and people did not have much time to immerse themselves in the "illusion" of that moment, they quickly adjusted themselves to face reality, and after escaping the brief loss of consciousness, they quickly forgot the illusion of looking at the light, and had no memory of what had happened.

Esther nestled into a public library in the Hilston borough, pondering what to do next in the thick history books.

Xiao Qi had to stay outside, and there was no way to follow up in this kind of place, so Xiao Qi secretly wondered if Esther was meeting someone here, and paid special attention to suspicious people entering and leaving the library.

Esther had her notebook on her hand, and she had just added a lot of information about the "audience" sequence seven to it, and she was troubled by this kind of extraordinary person who could directly affect the spirit or mood of others.

The East End is a must-see, and Esther plans to head to the Beckland Bridge District, where there are plenty of hotels that don't require identification. Even if the cost will be a lot more than renting a house in the East End, in order to avoid official searches in the East End, this amount of gold pounds should not be too much of a concern.

Esther felt like a bird on the move, unable to find a place to stay. Whenever she had to move, she missed her days in Tingen.

She flipped to the next page of the book "A History of False Myths," with a thin piece of paper sandwiched between the author's emotionally charged tirade accusing mainstream historians of ignoring the "age of myths." Esther picked it up casually, wondering if someone had forgotten it by accident, and returned the entire book.

The crumpled piece of paper had probably been trapped in it for a long time, and even if Esther flattened it, it could only make out irregular shapes, like a corner torn from the edge of the paper, with nothing written on it.

Strange, I don't know who read this book?

Esther picked it up and stuffed it into the compartment of her satchel, a rather casual gesture she had done, and she always thought that this broken note would be of some use.

If you dig deeper, the idea comes from her intuition.

——

In the evening, Esther found a quiet "Kroger Inn" in the Bridge District, and was surprised to learn that they had a special room, even if they stayed for a week, it would only cost four soles.

Esther glanced at the price list of this hotel hanging behind the counter, and found that it was almost half the price of a luxury single room, and even about the same as a cheap one-bedroom apartment in the East End. ”

The bearded boss at the front desk was immediately stunned, his face quickly became gloomy, and he impatiently looked at the folds on the waiter's dress: "I can't stop it!" Don't talk nonsense! Get lost! ”

Esther had doubts in her heart, but she didn't plan to waste any more time looking for a place everywhere, so she took out four one-surle bills from her satchel and threw them lightly on the counter: "I didn't say I couldn't stop it, where is the key?" ”

The boss looked at her even more strangely, he took off the key with the "513" label from the wall with a cold face, dropped it on the countertop, and then gave an "intimate" reminder: "Turn right at the staircase on the fifth floor." If you need room service, you can hang the sign in the door to clean the room. ”

"Thank you." Esther smiled sweetly, put her left hand under her cloak, and reached out slightly at the boss, then immediately picked up the key and walked to the elevator.

In her mind, Esther's casual complaint just now was confirmed, there was indeed a disappearance in that room, the mirror in the bathroom was dyed blood red, but the woman who lived in the room disappeared, and no one saw her again.

Of course, the police also sent someone to take over the investigation of the matter, and even took away the strange mirror, but since then, every time a customer stays in the room, they will hear crying in the middle of the night or in their sleep.

In fact, as long as Esther inquired about this information in the surrounding bars or cafes, it was natural that gossipy people would be eager to share it with her, and in the fixed daily boring area, if there were some strange accidents, it would often bring a lot of fun to the residents who lived here, and this story has been circulating for months.

Esther was quite curious, the level of fear was pitiful, she didn't have much experience with spirits, if the other party was really a formed evil spirit, the short sword with a purifying effect was still lying in her satchel, of course she had nothing to fear.

In fact, she was more lazy, there was a lot going on today, and she desperately needed a closed and comfortable private place to relax, and if she went to find the next hotel, she didn't know when she would have to go. Even with a rough map of Beckland in mind, it contained very little detail, and Esther had no hobby of measuring the neighborhoods with her feet.

Of course, this place may not be the most suitable, but Esther "thinks" that it is okay to stay here, and does not intend to let herself waste her energy on wandering around.

Walking down the neat staircase and hallway to the door of the 513 room, Esther inserted the key and pressed down the doorknob.

She heard a faint choked voice, as if she was about to cry when something grabbed her throat, and timidly tried to restrain her voice, which sounded like a hiccup.

Esther couldn't hold back, laughed happily twice, closed the door behind her, and then looked at the "special room".

I have to say that although the price of this hotel is relatively expensive in the Beckland Bridge area, it is really well furnished, although it is only a single room, but the room is wide enough to put a lot of things:

The floor of the room is covered with an off-white soft carpet, pale apricot wallpaper with thin vine patterns on all sides, and a large bed with light gauze on the four corner pillars clings to the wall, on which hangs a landscape depicting a field of flowers in full bloom, covered with thick glass shiny enough to illuminate the human figure.

The sleek desk was spotlessly clean, even with a gas ceiling lamp overhead, a traditional kerosene lamp with a hood, a set of couches and a single sofa with warm wood mats, and a few embroidered upholstery on the sofa, giving the room a warm feel.

Smokeless charcoal is piled up in the fireplace next to the sofa, which, when lit by a match, immediately transfers heat throughout the room, dissipating all the cold. The tray on the coffee table contains a complete set of tea sets and a double row of candlesticks, along with a tray with a little fresh fruit. A large closet with double doors stands in the corner, a push-out window faces the right side of the bed, and rose-red curtains with gold ruffles are tied at either side with tassel hangings.

The door to the bathroom was next to the closet, and Esther stepped into the bathroom, prioritizing the oval mirror that showed half of her body, and didn't sense anything.

The rest of the bathroom was also carefully cleaned, and there was nothing that made Esther feel out of the ordinary.

Esther went back to her room, hung her cloak and satchel on the coat rack by the door, kicked off her shoes, lay down on the soft couch, and sighed comfortably. Esther lazily looked around again, feeling that it was a little too luxurious, and the overall width of the bed alone was more like a double than a single bed, and it should be a room for couples or couples.

"I've made a lot of money......"

She stretched happily and sat up from the couch with great energy, even if it was really haunted, she must tear it up and live on her own.

Esther took out a small storage box from her satchel, and held a ball of iron wind chimes in soft cotton, and after pushing the window open, she shook it twice, and soon a crow followed the sound to her window.

The crow was also surprised by the luxurious decoration of the house: "You have made a fortune? ”

"No, because this house is haunted, the owner says it has a special price."

"Won't you be afraid?" Xiao Qi cocked his tail and put down the cushion on the single sofa, and then stepped on a circle of depressions on it, and lay down comfortably.

"Why be afraid? I think it might be more afraid of me. ”

“…… Truly. ”

Esther picked up the red snake fruit from the fruit bowl, wiped it with a handkerchief, and took a hard bite, allowing the light sweet fragrance to pour into her mouth.

Xiao Qishu spread his wings, leisurely took care of his black feathers, and entered a relaxed state like Esther: "If you don't want to take me tomorrow, I can stay in the house." ”

"I'll take it seriously when you say that," a few points of light floated out of Esther's head, circling around her head like planets, "I can just seal this room completely, and you may not be able to get out then." You and I still have a strong connection, they are not effective in blocking objects, but they can restrain spirits. ”

"Haha, I'm just talking about it casually." Xiao Qiyan said with a smile.

Esther shook her head with a smile, very proud: "Why aren't you fooled, friend, maybe I'm just scaring you?" ”

"Your personality is really getting worse."

Esther was slightly stunned: "Is there one?" I don't think anything has changed. ”

"Just a reminder."

Xiao Qi's tone was flat, as if it was just telling Esther to remember to bring an umbrella when it rained.
