Smack.

Chloe slowly lowered the microphone and placed the phone bug on the table, his face gloomy as if he had drawn it with charcoal.

Click.

Squeak –

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a man dressed in a valet costume walked in.

"Mr. Krabattel." The manservant, with a sheep's hooded hairstyle and a white towel on his arm, walked in with a smile, "Miss Keya has taken a nap. ”

He is the manservant of this mansion, Melly, who has worked here for many years, and has a deep affection for this place because he has watched Miss Koya grow up and watched Miss Koya's parents die of illness.

Melly washes the towel and hangs it on a rack.

Having not heard Krabattel's reply, he turned around in confusion to find that Krabatel had been standing in front of the window, with his back to him.

"Mr. Krabatel?" Melly shouted again, Butler Krabatel was a little strange today.

Clowe, known as "Mr. Krabatel," held his glasses with the palm of his hand before turning around, with only a gentle smile on his face.

His gentle smile and gentlemanly demeanor won the affection of almost everyone in the village of Sirob.

"Mr. Melly." Chloe looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't hear you. ”

"It's okay." Melly waved her hand, "Is there any trouble?" If you have any troubles, you may want to talk to me, maybe there will be other ways to solve them. ”

Chloe pretended to sigh helplessly: "Actually, I'm worried about Miss Keya. ”

"What's wrong?" Hearing that it was about Miss Koya, Merry immediately became nervous.

"You know." Chloe put her hands behind her back, "Miss Koya's parents died of illness two years ago, and she was quite grief-stricken, and she was frail and sickly, and she lay in a hospital bed for many years, and hardly left the mansion. ”

"That's true." Melly nodded worriedly.

"It is precisely because Miss Koya has little contact with the outside world that she is too easily deceived by what outsiders say. A lot of her perception of the outside world comes from lies. ”

"You mean that Usopp?"

Merry remembered that the young man, with his long nose, used to climb up to the tree outside the window of Miss Coya's room and tell her all sorts of strange stories.

"It's just a story." Merry shook her head, "Miss Koya knows that most of what he said was made up to coax her, so you don't need to worry so much. ”

"Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much." Chloe was as good as she could, and then bowed humbly to Merry, "Then, I'll go to work first." Mr. Melly, if you have something to do, please come to me. ”

Melly hurriedly bowed back, and then watched the figure of Butler Krabatel leave, and the seeds of doubt were still planted in his heart.

Today's Mr. Krabatel seems to be a little different from usual, but when it comes to saying what is different, Merry can't say.

Chloe's life as a housekeeper is almost constant, mainly centered on Miss Kraya.

When Miss Kaya woke up from a nap, the maid woke her up, and Chloe personally brought the medicine prescribed by the doctor to coax Miss Khaya to eat, just as he had taken care of Miss Kerya's seriously ill parents.

In fact, he didn't know whether the death of Keya's parents had anything to do with him.

Yes, he didn't know.

If outsiders asked, of course he would say that it had nothing to do with him, but when he asked himself, he could not get a definite answer.

This is because for three years he has been playing the role of a "Krabatel butler" who is almost completely contrary to his nature, and wants to give the people of Sirob Village a false impression that it will be more reasonable when he inherits the property.

Deep down, he longs for killing and blood, but at the same time he wants a peaceful retirement.

On the surface, he has to play the amiable butler of Krabatel, but secretly he has to contact the Black Cat Pirates from time to time to discuss the next plan.

Chloe knows very well that if the pirates do not continue to contact them and coerce and lure them, they will soon abandon themselves as "former captains" and go to other seas to do pirate business.

Subconsciously, he had to completely divide Chloe and Krabatel into two people, and what he did with different personalities would be divided into different people, and he would never be confused with them.

As a result, he suffered from mild schizophrenia.

As a result, Chloe sometimes doesn't even know whether some of the things are his own or his own fantasies.

He lived like this for three years, and he didn't know how he spent those three years.

And the reason why he is willing to do this is to realize the perfect whitewashing plan in his heart, from a pirate to a wealthy man who inherits the inheritance.

However, today's contact with Zangao's phone bug let Chloe know that his original plan had gone awry.

It's likely that something happened to the Black Cat Pirates.

It's been three years, but something happened at the last minute, and Chloe can't wait to kill all these idiots with his own hands.

What's more, his identity has been exposed, so he must solve the person on the other end of the phone.

It's just that how and when to solve it is a key issue.

Soon, Chloe thought of the answer.

The plan can go ahead, but that group of people has taken the place of the Black Cat Pirates, and the final outcome of both of them is the same.

As long as his hands and feet are clean, everything will be over, and he will be able to usher in his stable life.

In the evening, after Chloe coaxed Koya to sleep, the rest was left to Merry, and that was the end of his housekeeping work for the day.

He lay in bed, recuperating.

At half past one in the morning, Chloe woke up, opened his eyes, sat up, picked up his glasses on the bedside table, and put them on.

He dragged a long handbag from under the bed, unzipped it, and looked inside, before pulling it back and lifting it.

Chloe stood in front of his door, listened with bated breath, and after making sure that there was no one in the corridor outside, he opened the door, locked it again, and walked alone in the dark corridor.

The moonlight was bright, dragging his shadow.

Soon, Chloe left the mansion and avoided the main road in the village of Sirob again, finding a remote path that drifted like a ghost to the west of the island.

What he didn't know, however, was that despite how careful he had been, his tracks had been discovered.

Usopp sat on the trunk of a large tree, adjusted his hood, and rubbed his eyes again to make sure he was not mistaken.

"It's really that guy from Krabatel......" Usopp touched his long nose and became confused, "At this point in time, he doesn't sleep, where is he going?" ”

Usopp appeared here just by coincidence, and he came out in the middle of the night to tell Khaya all kinds of horror adventure stories in search of inspiration.

He touched the tree, frightened himself by some small sound in the darkness, and his head was quite clear, so he was sure that he was not mistaken.

Usopp touched his chin and smiled:

"Let's go along and see, maybe Krabaatl has a tryst with some lover, and I'll tell Koya about it during the day, so that she knows that Krabaatl is not a saint either. Hey, hey, hey......"

He climbed down from the tree and quietly followed.

Because of the distance, Chloe did not notice the stalker, and when he reached the beach to the west, he focused on the sea.

Chloe sat on the rock, tossed his handbag aside, and waited quietly.

Usopp, who was hiding in a nearby grove and watching, looked at this scene, and his instincts made him feel that something was wrong, it didn't look like a tryst with his lover at all.

So, who is Krabatel waiting for?

Soon after, a vast white fog rose over the sea, and the air became heavy and oppressive.

Chloe habitually held his glasses in the palm of his hand, and saw a ship with a pitch-black body break through the sea fog and slowly approach the shore.

He subconsciously frowned, the other party's battle was not the same as he imagined.

The last thing Chloe likes is something that is beyond the expected.

And Usopp, who was hiding behind the tree, was even more frightened, because this picture was too similar to the ghost stories he watched.

Is there a scarier story of a man who boarded a ship in the middle of the night and disappeared completely?

Usopp fell to his knees with his legs limp, covering his mouth for fear that he would make the slightest noise and be dragged away by the ghost.

A moment later, a huge gangplank protruded from the black boat and landed on the shore.

Immediately after, a human head floated out of the sea fog and flew down.
