Chapter 408

~7 min read 1,215 words

The silver-haired maid stroked John's little head, and then took out the dog food she had prepared.

It was real dog food, not fresh food.

"There's the smell of beef. Guest, you also fed John beef?"

At this moment,

the atmosphere solidified.

Asuna's heart hung to the highest point. She even felt that the maid would transform into an Eerie and launch an attack in the next moment. She had already prepared for battle.

"Beef? I don't know. I just arrived here not long ago. This beef might have been picked up by John from somewhere himself!"

John lifted its head, its eyes releasing an expression of astonishment. It seemed it could also understand Lin Ye's meaning.

The silver-haired maid lifted her eyes to meet Lin Ye's gaze. "So that's how it is."

She looked at the German Shepherd with resentment and complained twice. "John, don't pick up things randomly in the future. What if you scare the guests?"

She patted the German Shepherd's back, and the German Shepherd made two 'woo-woo' sounds, then lowered its head to continue eating dog food.

'Crunch, crunch...'

The dog food kept making crisp sounds.

"Guest, I'll go back first. Please pay attention to the time to return to the room. It's colder outside the villa at night, please pay attention to keeping warm."

The silver-haired maid Lisa greeted respectfully and left.

After she left, the German Shepherd John lifted its little head, its eyes revealing a trace of resentment.

Very spiritual.

Asuna noticed it and almost laughed out loud. Noticing Lin Ye's gaze, she immediately turned slightly to the side and looked away, preventing Lin Ye from seeing it.

"Did the maid suspect you of deliberately leaving leftovers and wasting food?"

Asuna felt that the maid must have suspected it when she heard the maid's words and noticed the maid's scrutinizing gaze.

"Yes, she suspected it, but she wasn't sure it was me who did it. I think this wasteful behavior must be caught on the spot to count."

Asuna nodded as if she understood.

"Another point is, does feeding the food to John count as wasting?"

Asuna thought about it and felt Lin Ye's explanation was also correct.

"Aren't you afraid of something happening?" She was still a bit worried.

"One always has to try, looking for the boundaries and bugs of the rules. If we players strictly follow the rules, in the end, we might die without knowing why."

Lin Ye looked at Asuna and smiled. "Ms. Asuna hasn't experienced rule-based Eerie dungeons before, right?"

"Mm, this is my first time experiencing it."

"My suggestion is that in rule-based dungeons, the rules clearly proposed must be deeply thought about for their other layer of meaning. For example, illegal and criminal acts in reality are not allowed, but are illegal and criminal acts that aren't discovered still illegal and criminal acts?"

Asuna seemed to understand a bit.

She still had a lot to learn.

When she first chose to become an Eerie player, she had seriously considered it, but after entering, she realized the danger within. The 'Eerie game' is a game, but it is a 'game' where one might lose one's life if not careful.

She couldn't afford to lose. If she wanted to live and survive, she had to do her best and find every possible way.

Under the moonlight,

the two walked in the courtyard for a while and then returned to the villa.

At this time, the villa was brightly lit.

Lin Ye and Asuna walked around the first floor and happened to run into Leng Shuang, who was on the first floor, and the career woman beside Leng Shuang.

"Ms. Leng, you are..."

"Seeing if there are any changes."

She looked at Lin Ye. "What about you?"

"Same. There's still time until ten o'clock, seeing if anything extra has appeared in this villa."

Since that was the case,

the four acted together. After the first floor was finished, it was the third floor, and finally the second floor.

Along the way,

the four didn't encounter any abnormalities; everything was very calm.

"Then, Ms. Leng, good night."

"Good night." Leng Shuang replied to Lin Ye and Asuna, and then entered the guest room.

The room number on Leng Shuang's guest room door was marked 202.

And Lin Ye and Asuna's guest room was 204.

The Passerby and the Gao Zhongsheng's guest room was 203.

The three guest rooms were on the same side of the corridor.

'Click...'

Lin Ye inserted the key, turned the door lock, and accompanied by a crisp sound, the door slowly opened.

Lin Ye walked in.

The guest room in his field of vision was about thirty-plus square meters, very spacious; even if two more people lived there, it wouldn't appear crowded.

Outside the transparent window, silver moonlight spilled in. A double bed was dyed with a thin layer of silver gauze, and there was a faint, light floral fragrance in the air.

This was the smell of chrysanthemums.

Unlike the lilies in the parlor, a pot of blooming chrysanthemums was placed on the cabinet in the guest room.

Asuna lit the oil lamps placed on both sides of the double bed in the room. The orange-yellow light dispelled more darkness, bringing a trace of warmth to the quiet room.

"Let's check it! Although Ms. Leng has already checked it."

Asuna nodded, and the two started acting. In ten minutes, the two checked the entire room inside and out, but didn't find more clues, information, or abnormalities.

Lin Ye came to the window and saw the courtyard bathed in moonlight through the glass. The evening breeze blew, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed their figures slightly.

"Let's sync the time!"

Lin Ye and Asuna compared.

"The time difference is one hour, there's no problem."

Asuna's mechanical watch corresponded to the time of the villa's clock, while Lin Ye's mechanical watch was one hour fast.

"Next..."

"Let's rest!"

"Sleep directly?"

Asuna was stunned.

"There's still more than an hour until ten o'clock, we should seize the time to rest."

Asuna understood Lin Ye's meaning. "I know."

"You sleep first! I'll wake you up at nine-thirty."

"Mm."

Asuna walked toward the double bed, her hands subconsciously placed on her outer clothing. She subconsciously wanted to take off her clothes to sleep.

Shaking her head self-deprecatingly, she lay directly on the bed, pulled over the quilt, and covered herself.

Staying overnight in an Eerie dungeon, taking off clothes to sleep was not appropriate.

And at this time,

Lin Ye used his clairvoyance skill to look at the room next door.

Soon,

the scenery of the room next door was reflected in.

The Passerby was already lying on the bed resting, while the Gao Zhongsheng was lying on the floor.

Enduring the soreness of his eyes, Lin Ye further used clairvoyance and saw Leng Shuang and the career woman Linlin in guest room 202.

Suddenly,

Leng Shuang's movement stiffened, her body turned slightly, and her eyes faced Lin Ye's direction.

Separated by two walls,

the two's gazes met unexpectedly.

This woman, so sensitive?

Besides this, Lin Ye couldn't think of any other possibility.

The next second, he ended the clairvoyance skill and rubbed his sore eyes. ===== CHAPTER 409 =====
