"Oh, my child."

Mrs. Kloster slowly walked up to Xia Lingge, stretched out her hand and gently stroked her cheek: "What are you talking nonsense, those properties are left to you, to the heirs of the prince Kloster, how can I fight for them?" And I am confident that no matter which of you inherits this inheritance, my children will live in peace. ”

She pinned the ends of her hair behind her ears: "Okay, go back and rest, I heard from the butler that you and the little duke had an accident on the way to the banquet and were injured, you need to recuperate, you know?" ”

Mrs. Kloster's gaze was warm and soft, and she could no longer see the slightest hint of cruelty and greed, Xia Lingge lowered her eyelids and glanced at the trash can in the corner without a trace, and then nodded and turned to leave.

"Kid."

Mrs. Klouster stopped her suddenly, and her gentle brow seemed to contain a special meaning: "Good night's sleep." ”

"Good nights, mother."

Xia Lingge exited the study, and when he came to the hall, the rest of the players had already gathered, and the butler walked up to them with a few sticks of incense, and said respectfully: "Ladies and young masters, tonight is the first night of the death of King Kloster, please insert this stick of incense to pray for King Kloster." ”

Luo Yan took the incense: "We will." ”

"Good dreams, you guys."

The butler stepped back and left.

Luo Yan, Liu Shiyi, Bai Weiwei and Shen Yusi Cheng stared at the incense on the table, and Bai Weiwei asked with some hesitation, "...... Do you really want to light these incense? ”

"It's better not to order it."

Luo Yan said: "Who knows what these incense candles are used for, and the things in the game are better to use less." ”

Bai Weiwei nodded: "Then, then I won't order either." ”

Shen Yu cooperated: "I'm the same." ”

Luo Yan's gaze swept over them: "There is nothing to gain today, let's go back and rest, I hope that the heavy rain will stop tomorrow, so we can go outside to find it." ”

Everyone went back to their rooms.

The candle flame is faint.

The blood-stained white gauze was dismantled in circles, Si Cheng took out the medicine box and took out the hemostatic medicine to change the medicine for Xia Lingge, the pain this time was much lighter than the first time, but she still wrinkled her eyebrows slightly.

"Alright."

Si Cheng changed into clean gauze, threw the blood-stained cotton swabs and tissues into the trash, put the medicine box back in its place, looked at the incense candles on the table, and asked, "We, don't we really light incense?" ”

"Dot." Xia Lingge said, "However, half a point is enough." ”

Si Cheng broke the incense candle in two according to her instructions, picked up half of the incense and lit it and inserted it into the incense burner on the bedside table: "Senior sister, will we be a little risky like this?" If the other players don't have points, then we ......"

"No, it won't."

Xia Lingge said softly: "Every step in the game is a pit, they know that lighting incense will be dangerous, but they don't know if it will be more dangerous if they don't light incense, so they will still do things according to the housekeeper's words, but more cautious." ”

She suddenly remembered something and turned to Si Cheng to pat the soft bed: "Are you used to sleeping inside, or sleeping outside?" ”

"I ...... I...... I ......"

Si Cheng's ears were red when he was asked: "I don't sleep, senior sister." ”

As if to prove the truth of his words, Si Cheng opened the bookcase and found two books in Greek translation, "You sleep peacefully." He said, "I'll keep vigil." ”

The rain outside the window became more and more intense, crackling and hitting the glass like an ancient clock.

All that remained was a candlestick burning with fire, and half of the room was as black as the maws of the abyss that a wild beast had opened to devour.

Suddenly.

'Tick-'

'Tick-'

Xia Lingge, who was sleeping quietly, opened her eyes suddenly, her cold gaze swept lightly across the darkness around her, she slowly sat up and looked at Si Cheng, he leaned on the back of the chair and fell asleep at some point, and even the slight sound of the book in his hand falling to the ground did not wake him up.

She turned her head to look at the counter again, and the burning candle had long since been extinguished, leaving only a thin layer of incense ash.

The 'ticking' sound outside the door was quietly approaching. Xia Lingge lifted the futon and got out of bed, quietly walked to the door and stood still, the 'ticking' sound also stopped in front of the door, and a damp and cold feeling spread to Xia Lingge's body through the wooden door.

'Click-'

'Click-'

The doorknob is turning.

Xia Lingge pressed the doorknob with his left hand, and the dagger appeared with a twist of his right hand, the red pattern became deeper and deeper, like flowing blood under the reflection of the candlelight.

The doorknob didn't move.

Xia Lingge put the dagger he was holding on the doorknob, and the sound of the iron was particularly piercing and loud in this quiet night.

"What's wrong?"

Si Cheng woke up and saw Xia Lingge at the door of the station, and was startled.

"Outside, there seems to be something."

Xia Lingge replied to him.

Si Cheng's last bit of sleepiness also ran away, he stared at the door panel with a solemn expression, stretched out his fingertips and probed along the crack in the door, "It should be gone." ”

"How do you know?" Xia Lingge asked.

Si Cheng replied: "Because my natal skill is related to [protection], I can sense the traces of monsters within a certain range." ”

Xia Lingge sighed: "It's quite practical. ”

Si Cheng smiled, and then said to Xia Lingge with a gloomy expression: "I'm sorry, senior sister, I made you tired again." ”

Xia Lingge shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that when did you fall asleep?" Did you hear anything before you fell asleep? ”

"Voice?" Si Cheng was stunned for a moment when asked, then frowned and thought seriously, "I didn't hear anything, and I don't know how I fell asleep." ”

He paused, and his eyes fell on the burnt incense burner.

"Sure enough, one step at a time."

Si Cheng turned to Xia Lingge: "Senior sister, you go and rest, I will definitely not fall asleep again this time." ”

8:00 a.m

The slender minute and second hands coincide at twelve, the dull sound of ancient bells echoes throughout the castle, and the sky is still dark outside the window, and the raindrops are beating against the glass.

Breakfast is served with warm milk and toast, sweet salad dressing and strawberry jam are neatly placed on the right side of the table, and fried eggs and fresh vegetables are paired. Xia Lingge sat on the chair and looked at the people who came down one by one silently.

Liu Shiyi and Shen Yu's expressions were very good, but Luo Yan's eyes were a little blue, and although Bai Weiwei's state was not bad, her brows never relaxed.

They all sat down around the table, and no one except Shen Yu picked up a knife and fork to eat.

"How did everyone sleep yesterday?"

Luo Yan crossed his fingers under the bridge of his nose and asked with a somewhat deep expression.

"That's good."

Shen Yu ate very happily.

Luo Yan glanced at him and then ignored it: "What about you? His gaze swept over Xia Lingge and Si Cheng, and finally fell on Bai Weiwei for a moment.
