Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tracing the Search
Being killed by the people in the castle is obviously already unexpected.
After all, there are no hints in the rules.
Except for the tall man they had just met, the two of them had not encountered any other patrolmen along the way.
After placing the slipper at Cinderella's door, they knocked on the door and immediately hid behind a tree, until they saw Cinderella take the slipper, and then the two left with peace of mind.
From the secret room to being accidentally involved in the spiritual world of Cthulhu, to learning about the elimination of the Shen father and daughter not long ago, too many things happened this night, and Tian Li only felt exhausted when she came back.
Her steps are vain, supported by a consciousness. It wasn't until she got back to the bedroom that she quieted down and opened the door carefully.
It was dark inside, but the curtains weren't drawn. The moonlight outside shone in, and Tian Li could almost see the road clearly.
She turned the corner and came to the bed, and was surprised to find that Zhang Xincheng's bed was actually empty.
Where did Zhang Xincheng go?
She threw herself on the bed, didn't even change her clothes, and she was still concerned about Zhang Xincheng's whereabouts before she became unconscious. But soon his eyes went black and he fell asleep.
The next morning, Tian Li was woken up by Tasha.
Yesterday was too tired, and she didn't sleep long, even if she was woken up, her consciousness was listless.
When I turned my head, I saw Zhang Xincheng's bed, which was still empty.
She didn't come back all night!
Tian Li began to worry about Zhang Xincheng's safety, and even afraid that she missed the notice that Zhang Xincheng was wiped out in the ear return because she slept too soundly last night.
No, Xincheng is so powerful, she shouldn't encounter accidents.
Tian Li comforted herself in her heart.
Even when she prepared breakfast for Sura, she was absent-minded; Now she just wants to see Lin Weixue soon, so as to ask him if he has heard the information that Zhang Xincheng was eliminated.
After Sula had breakfast, she began to practice in the practice room, with Tian Li and Tasha standing outside the door.
Tian Li first secretly glanced at Sura with a serious face in the room, and then suddenly made a painful expression, she covered her stomach and said to Tasha.
"I'm sorry Tasha, I suddenly have some stomach pain, can you leave for a while?"
Tasha nodded.
Tian Li, who got permission, immediately left quickly. For fear of being seen, she deliberately went around in a circle. It wasn't until she came to the west corridor that she found that Zhang Xincheng was not standing in front of her wife's door.
Tian Li was startled and hurriedly stepped forward.
At this time, the door of Madame's bedroom was closed, and there was no maid outside the door. Tian Li was wondering if to knock on the door, maybe Zhang Xincheng was standing in the bedroom at this time.
But if Zhang Xincheng is not here, his wife finds out that he has left his post without permission, and the result can be imagined.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
A female voice sounded beside her.
She turned her head and saw that the person was also wearing a maid's costume, but it was a fresh face, and Tian Li didn't know it.
She casually lied: "I'm here to report to Madame's maid, uh... Let's report on Miss Sula's progress in the past two days. ”
Tian Li took out the token in her pocket again.
"I have Miss's token."
The maid didn't look at the token in Tian Li's hand: "Today, Madame is busy arranging a dance party for the two young ladies, and she is not in the bedroom, so you can report back later."
"Oh good."
Looking at the back of the maid leaving, Tian Li returned to the practice room.
At this time, Lin Weixue had already arrived, and he was teaching Sula to play the piano in the house. Finally waiting for a break in the middle, she deliberately made some movements, and Lin Weixue also noticed it. He took advantage of Sula's inattention and deliberately did something to come to Tian Li's side.
"Did you hear the news that Zhang Xincheng was eliminated last night?" Seeing Lin Weixue's first sentence, Tian Li couldn't wait to ask.
Lin Weixue thought about it, and her subordinates were slowly pouring water.
"Nope."
"Are you sure?" She asked again.
"Not sure."
Tian Li was about to speak, but Lin Weixue said again: "Anyway, Qin Weibin, who is in the same room with me, didn't hear it."
After all, if Qin Weibin also heard it, he would tell him the next day.
Lin Weixue was about to ask her what was wrong, but found that Tian Li had already walked away.
Hearing Lin Weixue's words, Tian Li's heart, which was already in her stomach, lifted it again when she didn't see Zhang Xincheng at noon.
She was absent-minded, and when she poured water for Sula in the afternoon, she sprinkled Sulla's hand.
"Hey! What are you doing! ”
Sura roared.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tian Li came back to her senses and hurriedly wiped it with a hand towel.
Sula was about to have a seizure, but Lin Weixue said, "Miss, it's your turn." ”
Lin Weixue is handsome, elegant in conversation, and very patient in teaching, when he smiled gently, Sulla's anger had been wiped out for the most part, she glared at Tian Li fiercely, and no longer pursued it.
Tian Li dried Sura and withdrew.
Last night's rest was not good, and coupled with the worry of today's day, Tian Li felt that her mental state was on the verge of limit.
She took a break from her meal, and decided to go for a walk.
She strolled along the path, the afterglow of the setting sun reflecting the sunset, inlaid the white clouds with a layer of gold; Tian Li took a deep breath of fresh air, trying to calm her mood.
Suddenly, a conversation suddenly came to my ears.
This voice sounds like Zhang Xincheng's voice!
Tian Li was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed towards the source of the sound.
Thinking about it while walking, she knew that Zhang Xincheng could not be eliminated!
Pushing aside the vegetation among the bushes, I saw Zhang Xincheng's figure under the trees not far away. Tian Li was about to call out to her, but a male voice behind the tree made her stop her words in time.
She felt strange and listened to the conversation with bated breath.
Zhang Xincheng handed a flat box to the man, but the figure of the man next to the tree was mostly covered. She heard the man say, "It's up to you to steal the dress."
"It's all about getting things done, and everybody has to do their part." Zhang Xincheng replied.
It turned out to be for the Cinderella dress, Tian Li thought.
She was just about to get out of the bush when the man's voice stopped her again.
"Does the pinhole in your arm still hurt?" The man asked suddenly.
"What, what pinhole?" Zhang Xincheng wondered.
"I'm sorry, but I actually noticed you on the first day when I saw you uncomfortable, but the little girl next to you helped you, and I didn't look for you again."
"You, you're a witch?" Zhang Xincheng said.
"Yes." The man continued: "That was the first time I had injected someone with a drug, and it may have been a little bit off."
Until the two left, Tian Li was still hiding among the bushes. It wasn't until it got dark that she hurried back to the castle.
On the way back, all I kept thinking about was who the man I was talking to Zhang Xincheng was.
The other party hid behind a tree, and Tian Li never saw the man's face clearly.
But if you ask Zhang Xincheng directly, will she say?
