Chapter 409
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a bit sleepy."
Lin Ye sat on the chair, took out eye drops, and dripped two drops into his eyes. The cold feeling eased the soreness of his eyes.
Asuna didn't ask much and continued to close her eyes.
Worried about Lin Ye's hostile behavior?
That existed, but now their biggest enemy was still the Eerie that existed somewhere in this mysterious villa.
Time passed second by second,
Asuna was shaken awake by Lin Ye in a daze.
"What's wrong? Is there an Eerie?"
Asuna gave a start and immediately gripped the Western fine sword she was carrying.
"It's time."
"Oh, oh!"
Asuna stood up as if she understood, but saw Lin Ye walk to the other side and lie on the bed.
"Take care of things a bit more next; wake me up at ten o'clock."
After getting Asuna's response, Lin Ye also closed his eyes and emptied his brain.
Necessary rest was essential.
Soon, Lin Ye's breathing fell into a steady state.
This made Asuna a bit envious. For someone who could fall asleep quickly, she only had envy. Just now, she herself had also tossed and turned for quite a while before completely falling asleep.
Asuna carefully looked around the room.
At this time, the curtains had already been covered by a layer of thin gauze, and the moonlight outside the window only shot in sporadically. The two oil lamps in the room continued to burn, releasing light and heat.
Asuna leaned back, closed her eyes, and continued to rest.
Occasionally, she opened her eyes to check the time.
Finally,
ten o'clock was almost here.
Just at the moment the pointer reached ten o'clock,
the oil lamps in the room suddenly extinguished, instantly plunging the bright room into silence.
The sudden mutation immediately pulled Asuna's vigilance to the maximum. She shook Lin Ye with one hand. "It's ten o'clock."
Lin Ye also opened his eyes and stood up, looking at the room in the dimness.
"The oil lamps extinguished themselves. At the moment it reached ten o'clock, they extinguished themselves."
Lin Ye said 'mm'. He tried to relight the oil lamps, but no matter what, the oil lamps could no longer be lit.
Asuna saw it all in her eyes, realizing that tonight would definitely not be a calm night.
"No matter what happens, try to keep as quiet as possible. Do not respond to any sounds outside the door."
Lin Ye warned again.
"I know."
Asuna answered again. As a veteran player, she knew this kind of thing and could try her best to do it well.
And Lin Ye used his clairvoyance skill to look at the 203 guest room next door, but saw nothing; there was only a layer of thick black mist that covered everything, completely unable to see through.
This guest room had highly likely become an independent space.
The villa after ten o'clock had already become different from the daytime.
Lin Ye lay on the bed, keeping his breathing even.
If there were no accidents,
after some time, knocking and calling sounds would come from outside the door.
And according to the 'Reminder', what they had to do was ignore it.
Tick,
tick,
in the quiet and dim room, only the slight walking sound of the mechanical watch remained.
Time was passing, abnormally slowly.
Asuna gradually felt a trace of sleepiness. When ten o'clock arrived but the expected mutation didn't come, her spirit also gradually tended toward a relaxed state.
A bit sleepy, wanting to sleep.
Her peripheral vision couldn't help but cast toward the man lying on the bed on the right.
The first time in her life sharing a bed with a person of the opposite sex.
If her mother knew about this, her mother would probably be furious, right?
Asuna couldn't help but think.
'Tap...'
'Tap...'
Crisp footsteps rang out.
That was on the corridor outside the room door. There were footsteps.
Asuna's heart tightened in an instant, the sleepiness disappeared completely, and her brain was abnormally clear.
'Tap...'
'Tap...'
The footsteps were still ringing continuously, from far to near.
Closer, even closer.
Asuna held her breath, but found that Lin Ye was still sleeping with his eyes closed, so she carefully reached out her hand and pulled Lin Ye to remind him that there was an abnormality.
The next second, she felt her hand being patted gently.
Asuna immediately realized that Lin Ye was still awake.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
And at this time, the footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door stopped abruptly.
The sudden silence added a trace of Eerie atmosphere.
'Knock, knock, knock...'
Knocking sounded.
'Knock, knock, knock...'
The knocking was rhythmic, neither heavy nor light.
Neither Lin Ye nor Asuna gave any response.
'Knock, knock, knock...'
The third round of knocking sounded.
Followed by falling into a long silence.
"Guest, you haven't slept yet, right?"
A female voice suddenly rang out, passing through the door. The voice was a bit soft and hoarse, sounding like the maid Lisa's voice, but upon careful distinction, it felt unlike it.
Asuna held her breath and gripped the Western fine sword with one hand.
"Guest, you're still awake, right?"
The inquiry sounded again, as if she had already determined that the two in the room hadn't slept.
Lin Ye thought about whether, if he gave a response, this unknown entity would force its way in?
The possibility was very high.
He knew that even if he wanted to test, he could never risk his life to test it.
"I'm looking for you to ask you some things."
The soft voice continued to ring. "You are friends invited by the Master, you must know where the Master is, right?"
Room 204 remained silent, without any sound.
"Please open the door, okay?"
"Honored guest, please open the door."
"I can... serve you in bed." ===== CHAPTER 410 =====
