Chapter 421

"The key."

"What key?"

"The key to guest room 204 where you are staying overnight, sir."

"This... isn't appropriate, right!"

"Hmm?"

"I am in the same room as Miss Asuna. It's actually not very appropriate for Miss Carter to want to visit at night."

Aiqi:???

Asuna listened, dumbfounded, but she knew even better that the blonde young lady already suspected Lin Ye, and was even directly starting to test and confirm, almost tearing off the mask.

"Give it to me!"

"Fine!"

Lin Ye took the key from his pocket and handed it to the blonde young lady.

Asuna remained calm, but her heart became restless, and her heartbeat could not help but accelerate.

You must know that Lin Ye had swapped the guest room key with the basement key; this key was the wrong basement key that Lin Ye had swapped for.

The blonde young lady, having received the key, immediately walked along the stairs to the second floor and happened to meet Leng Shuang, who was coming downstairs. Leng Shuang realized something had happened as soon as she heard the movement at the second-floor stairs.

The blonde young lady did not appear on the first floor through the stair passage.

This was clearly because she had noticed something and suspected something.

"What's wrong?"

"Miss Carter seems to be..."

But Aiqi Carter looked at Lin Ye with cold eyes, which made Lin Ye stop speaking.

She arrived in front of guest room 204 on the second floor and inserted the key she had received from Lin Ye into the door lock.

'Crack...'

Guest room 204 opened.

The blonde young lady froze, her expression changing slightly.

It was not Lin Ye's, it was someone else's key.

She questioned Leng Shuang, opened guest room 202, and went directly to the kitchen to ask for guest room 203, but the result was the same; three keys opened three guest rooms.

She had already realized the problem.

The keys had been swapped.

But when exactly?

The blonde young lady thought of the time when she asked for the key, and Lin Ye held her hand.

Only at that time could Lin Ye have played tricks.

Aiqi Carter stared at Lin Ye for a long while, and no words came out.

"Guests, the night time is almost here, go eat dinner early!"

Aiqi Carter found a new topic.

"Of course, but I would prefer to dine with Miss Carter."

"There will be a chance,"

the blonde young lady said, and then left.

After she had been gone for a while, Leng Shuang closed the door, "What's going on?"

"That young lady suspects we stole the basement key, but she doesn't have the handle to confirm we stole it."

According to what the maid said just now, if she had evidence of their theft, she could drive them away.

This was likely another hidden latent rule of this villa.

"Why did you give her the key to guest room 204? Didn't you say you used your own key to swap for the basement key? You... lied to us?"

This was Leng Shuang's first thought.

And these words reminded Asuna, immediately making Asuna understand that if Lin Ye had lied to them from the beginning, then why that key could not open the basement door lock also had an explanation.

Not trusting them? Thinking there was a mole among them?

"I didn't lie to you, why would I lie to you? I found an opportunity to swap it back."

Fifteen seconds of time stop; rushing from the first floor to the fourth floor and back was actually a bit of a stretch, but if he went all out, he could still do it.

But just as Lin Ye was about to act, he suddenly thought of one point—the blonde young lady already suspected he had swapped the keys, so would that key placed in the maid's room still be in the maid's room on the fourth floor?

And having thought of this, he immediately used his perspective and saw the key carried on the young lady's person.

The next part was simple.

When Aiqi Carter arrived on the second floor and was about to open the door to room 204, he used time stop at the first opportunity, took out the key she was carrying, and opened the lock first. After confirming there was no problem, he then swapped the positions of the two keys.

If the key the young lady was carrying was not the key to room 204, he would have rushed to the fourth floor with all his might to take the spare key to 204 from the maid's room and swap the keys.

This was his response method.

"It involves a skill."

Lin Ye's words made both of them silent, and neither of them took the initiative to pursue the question.

"Asuna, take out your rapier!"

"Uh! Okay."

Under Lin Ye's request, Asuna took out her weapon.

"I'm going to hold your left hand, please be aware."

"Hmm."

Lin Ye stretched out his left hand and held the girl's left hand.

But the next second, Lin Ye's right hand had an extra rapier; this was exactly the rapier Asuna had been holding in her hand.

Asuna watched with her eyes open, not yet having recovered from this scene. As the experiencer, she had absolutely no idea when her weapon had been taken away.

"Stealing skill..."

"Hmm."

Lin Ye responded.

"How did you determine the key would be on the young lady?"

"She already suspects us, wouldn't she carry the key with her? If it were me, I would definitely carry it with me, that's the only way to be safe."

Both women nodded, accepting this explanation.

"Did you find anything in the basement?"

"The key is fake, the real basement key has been hidden,"

Lin Ye pursed his lips and continued, "That young lady has a problem, she is targeting us."

Isn't it normal for Aiqi Carter to target them?

As a key figure in this dungeon, shouldn't she be targeting them, the players?

Lin Ye thought for a moment, let's wait until he has mastered key evidence before telling them!

"Let's go eat!"

It's time,

time to eat.

The second day's dinner,

Passerby changed his attitude from the first night, eating and eating, deeply afraid that if he ate too little, he would go hungry again tonight.

"Brother Zero, no, Brother Zero, tonight..."

"I have no interest in men,"

"Don't be like that! How bad is it for a man and a woman to sleep in one room, why not be with me?"

Passerby disregarded his face and tried hard to beg Lin Ye, but Lin Ye was unmoved. No matter how much Passerby talked until his mouth was dry, he would absolutely not agree to sleep in the same room as Passerby.

And Leng Shuang spoke up, "Don't worry about the number of people. Now that the maid thinks you are only one person, then you sleeping in one room alone tonight is not considered violating her reminder."

That's what she said, but Passerby was not reassured enough.

"Speaking of this, I need to say one thing."

Lin Ye's words attracted everyone's attention.

"Remember when the young lady went to the fourth floor to block me, and I reunited with you on the third floor, do you remember the sentence she said to me?"

Asuna and the others began to recall.
