There was a young girl with black hair sitting at the front desk of the "Lilac Hotel", and after receiving a certain pair of "siblings" who were staying in the hotel, the black-haired girl picked up the book behind the counter and continued to read.

After more than ten minutes, the black-haired girl heard the bell hanging at the main entrance, quickly put down the book and raised her head, and loudly welcomed the new guests as the previous manager had taught:

"Welcome to the 'Lilac Inn'! Do you want to stay here? ”

But because of a little nervousness, the brunette girl's inquiring tone sounded too serious, and instead seemed to threaten the person who walked in.

Entering the door was a young man, dressed in a short, well-cut black suit, with silky top hat, his silky blond-brown hair only slightly higher than his shoulders, leaving two of the longest sideburns hanging down his cheeks and a little curly at the end.

The black-haired girl was impressed by those lake-green eyes, even behind round glasses, and the gentleman looked polite and easy to get close.

And when he spoke, he was gentle and polite, but with a faint smile: "Hello, I would like to ask, which room did the lady and boy live in just now?" ”

"Sorry, we can't-"

The young man raised his right hand and held his glasses, and the black-haired girl's eyes lit up.

Room 10 on the third floor.

Then she came back to her senses, noticed that she had left the guest hanging next to her, and suddenly her mind wandered, and the face of the receptionist immediately flushed with shame: "I'm sorry! Are you staying alone? ”

The young man nodded with a smile, and took out his identity certificate and a hardware pound from his arms: "Yes, can you help me go through the procedures?" It's good to handle tonight's first. ”

"Okay! I'll help you register. The brunette immediately took the stuff and got busy behind the counter.

When she opened the drawer to get the key, she heard the young man's voice: "Can you help me find a duplex suite on the third floor?" I don't like to take the stairs very much, the height of the third floor is just right for me, and the view is not bad. ”

There were not many empty rooms, and the brunette was certainly willing to accommodate the guest's small request: "Of course! ”

Her finger landed on the key to room six on the third floor, and after registering the room number, she handed it to the young man across the counter.

"Thank you, then I won't bother you."

After getting the key, before the black-haired girl could explain the direction of the stairs and the restaurant on the second floor, the young man had already bypassed the front desk, as if he already knew, and walked quickly to the corner on the right side of the corridor, where the young man passed by the other two men who whispered and stepped onto the stairs.

The brunette stared blankly at his back, and she didn't withdraw her gaze until she could no longer see the young man.

Strange, has this gentleman been here before? He looked familiar with the place, and he didn't even have any luggage. I guess I just came to run errands, so I stayed here for one night, right? But did he choose a suite specifically to accommodate someone?

Because the configuration of the "Lilac Hotel" is quite good, guests often meet people in the living room of the suite, exchange with acquaintances and discuss business.

The brunette put aside her doubts and continued to pick up the book to read, seizing the time when there were no customers and secretly looking at her new purchase.

Ms. Foirth Wall's new "Coral Reef" is not in the same style as "Stormstorm Heights", it is actually a story of adventure at sea, but it is still interesting to read, and she is trying different genres......

——

Benjamin Jacob walked up to the third floor, his gaze swept diagonally across the corner of Room Ten, and the smile deepened at the corner of his mouth.

He opened the door to Six, locked it, and put the key in his pocket.

Benjamin tugged at his tie, sat down on the couch, folded the cushion behind him, and leaned on it with pleasure: "Anyone can come, but if you want me to come, I still have such an important 'task' on my shoulder." ”

However, in fact, even the other Amon don't know who "Ben" really is, which is something that the main body deliberately hides from other clones, and the other clones only know that there is a clone whose code name is "Ben", and has been living in Pritzport in a low-key manner.

"Didn't I just say 'it's funny'? That annoying postman, every time he proposes, he must confront me......" Benjamin grabbed the top hat on his head and sighed quietly, "Sure enough, the soft peaked hat is more pleasant to the touch, and the silk top hat is very hard." ”

He flicked his hand, and the top hat hung firmly on the coat rack by the door, turning twice due to inertia.

Benjamin fiddled with the spectacle on the bridge of his nose and removed it—mainly with his handkerchief and carefully wiping the right lens.

In order to hide himself and better integrate into the role of Benjamin James, he can't even wear a single cle, which is really sad every day.

If those "Hermit Society of Destiny" knew that the "descendants of Jacob" who had been trying so hard to maintain the meeting were all disguised by Amun's clone, I don't know how they would react?

Obviously, they can be wiped out for so many years, but in their ignorance, they have been left with a life, and it is really a pity that they can't eat them.

Thinking of this, Benjamin couldn't help but smile again.

But those people are really not angry, after so many years, there are fewer and fewer new "thieves" cultivated, and there are no talents. The boy Zoya is carrying in her fake body also seems to be a thief, does she want to develop a "thief" that she can control?

So why not just make a clone out of light? The teacher-student relationship is not as easy to control as a doppelganger, which is really strange.

Suddenly, Benjamin's eyes blinked twice, and a black flicker passed under his lake-blue eyes.

Benjamin smiled and shook his head: "Should I say good luck or bad luck, there is a kind of person who has a chaotic physique that attracts 'accidents'......"

I knew I wouldn't have moved in, but this might be an opportunity.

The young man put the disc glasses back on his face and did not get up from the couch, even if he sensed an anomaly caused by an extraordinary person in the hotel, it had nothing to do with him—Benjamin Jacob was just an ordinary traveler who had come to Tingen for a leisurely visit.

The next moment, a scream of horror ran through this "Lilac Hotel".

——

After Esther entered the house with the rabbit, she let him choose his room.

After hearing "This room belongs to you for the past few days", the rabbit turned over every part of the room, as if he wanted to wrap the whole room and hold it in his arms.

Esther watched the rabbit happily roll back and forth on the bed, quite childishly, leaning against the door and smiling helplessly.

It didn't take long for the rabbit to tuck himself under the quilt, and even in Pritz Harbour, the hotel where the two of them settled was only ordinary, not as luxurious as this one, except for the uniform mahogany furniture, the living room and rooms were all covered with cashmere carpets, and every place was soft.

In other words, the rabbit's evaluation is "no problem sleeping on the floor".

The rabbit's head was on the pillow, and at first he just wanted to "feel it", but after a while, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

Because of the exhaustion accumulated today, as well as the warm satiety of the stomach, the rabbit quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Esther turned off the gas lamp and pulled the door open for the rabbit, and she didn't want to sleep too much, when the rabbit finally fell asleep, she sat down in the drawing-room, and read the magazines provided by the hotel.

In fact, most of Esther's attention is not on the fashion or stories in the magazine, she is sorting through the clues in her head.

The experience that Rabbit recounts, combined with the two previous very delicate conversations, makes Esther increasingly suspicious of the actions of the "Goddess of the Night".

Esther was a little worried about whether she had been disturbed by some malice because of Amon's words, but aside from Amon's previous inducement, Esther realized that the "Goddess of the Night" itself treated her with a rather subtle attitude.

It is impossible to tell whether the goddess is inclined to "Zoya" or "Esther", and she has always been vague about the attitude between the two.

Esther's head tilted back, staring at the floral wallpaper on the ceiling in a daze.

Suddenly, her premonition struck her.

Esther sprang up from the couch and rushed into the rabbit's room, where she could see the light from the living room, even when the lights were not on—the rabbit was nestled quietly under the covers, breathing steadily.

The moonlight outside the house was too bright, and Esther turned her head to the window, and tonight's moon suddenly turned into a blood moon.

Didn't I get targeted with the rabbit? I thought it was the "thief" with the appearance of a middle-aged man, but what the hell is it......

Then, Esther heard the scream as well.

After the first scream, there was a faint howl of fear, and not long after, the second scream sounded, more piercing than the first, and the voice felt familiar to Esther, it seemed to be the energetic dark-haired lady at the front desk, a new receptionist.

This time, even the rabbit was awakened, and he stared at the door in a trance, staring sleepily at Esther's figure blocking the light from the living room.

The boy rubbed his eyes vigorously twice, got up from the bed, hooked his shoes on the ground with his feet, and put his clothes on his body in confusion: "What's wrong?" I seem to hear something......"

A succession of footsteps and screams rang out above them, converging in the corridor on the fourth floor, where some people were shouting "dead man" and some people screaming "go to the police".

"It seems that tonight is destined to not be able to get a good rest." Esther reached out and helped the rabbit who had nearly tripped over the door frame.

The rabbit yawned again: "I'm sleepy, what's going on outside?" ”

Esther shook her head: "Let's go first, it's strange if we don't." ”

When the two of them walked out of the door, they happened to see a young man wearing disc glasses leaning out of the room, half of his body squeezed into the crack of the door, as if he was hesitating to go upstairs to have a look.

When Esther and the young man met eye contact, the other party nodded at her crampedly, as if he had made up his mind on the fly, and hurried in the direction of the corridor.

"Let's go check it out too?" The rabbit asked.

Esther carried the satchel on the inside of the door, and she had never taken off the fanny pack with her red cloak.

She lowered her voice: "If you encounter any changes, hold on to me, and we'll go directly." ”

Rabbit remembered the strange thing when the two met, and Esther ran directly to the top floor with him, and nodded vigorously.
