Chapter 424

Asuna looked at the two tightly closed doors, and a trace of worry flashed by.

But compared to the doors being wide open, the state of the doors being tightly closed indicated a higher possibility that the people inside were still alive.

Asuna nodded to Lin Ye and then went to guest room 203 first, raised her hand, and knocked on the door of guest room 203.

'Knock, knock, knock...'

'Knock, knock, knock...'

No response.

Lin Ye's perspective skill looked toward guest room 203, but the room was empty, and there was no sign of Passerby.

Dead?

"Let's go to Miss Leng's side!"

Guest room 202, only Leng Shuang was there. At this time, her face was slightly pale, and her right arm had clearly suffered an injury.

Confirming someone was there, Lin Ye did not continue to use perspective.

'Knock, knock, knock...'

Before long, guest room 202 opened.

Leng Shuang's expression was solemn, "Come in first!"

She said to Lin Ye and Asuna.

The two walked in, and the door closed.

"Where is Miss Lin?"

Leng Shuang shook her head, "The eerie visited last night, and she and I made preparations, blocking the door to prevent it from entering, but..."

Leng Shuang, in her black trench coat, recalled the scene from last night.

The unknown figure outside the door, because there was no response inside, was knocking on the door frantically. The door lock turned, and the door opened.

The struggle became even more intense.

"At first, we successfully prevented it from entering, even if limbs were thrust in, I cut them off, but later..."

Leng Shuang said slowly, "Miss Lin suddenly changed her face, not only did she not assist, but she hugged me, causing the door to be broken and the eerie to break in. If it weren't for my quick reaction and using a prop, I don't think I could have survived until now."

The moment the door was wide open,

Leng Shuang used a demon-breaking talisman she had prepared for a long time.

The intense light and heat released by the burning talisman caused damage to the eerie outside the door. She took the opportunity to break free and slashed with her dagger, causing the eerie to scream repeatedly, but she did not succeed in killing the eerie.

The eerie dragged the career woman and fled.

"I tried to chase the eerie that was dragging the person away, wanting to snatch Miss Lin back, but it was very fast and quickly disappeared at the stairs on the first floor, and other footsteps sounded upstairs again, so I gave up and chose to return to my room, and have been here until now."

"Did the eerie drag the person and flee to the first floor?"

"Hmm,"

Leng Shuang nodded. She walked two steps and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Ye, "The paper that appeared on the table after six o'clock."

It was the same paper that appeared in guest room 203 yesterday.

Lin Ye and Asuna looked at the black handwriting on it.

【He is gone,】

【Mother said she was going to find him,】

【I lied to her saying I received his letter—there would be guests invited by him visiting.】

【But the guests never arrived,】

【Mother secretly went out alone,】

【That day, it was raining heavily outside.】

After reading,

Lin Ye and Asuna looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Compared to the first note, the amount of information on this note was even richer.

"It wasn't just the Master who left the villa, but also this mother,"

"Besides that, there were guests, visiting guests, and it just so happens that our status here is that of guests."

"Combined with the shouting of the eerie visiting last night, there is a 70% certainty that the eerie last night was the 'mother' mentioned in the note."

Lin Ye said simply.

Asuna had the same thought, and Leng Shuang, when seeing the content of this note, had already connected it based on the existing clues and information.

"'Mother' is very likely the eerie that attacked,"

Asuna added, "Miss Leng, did you see the true face of the eerie clearly last night?"

Leng Shuang shook her head, "No, it was all black,"

"Could it be the eerie you fought when you were in the forest?"

Leng Shuang had not failed to connect the two. She recalled but could not be very sure, "I can't be sure, Miss Asuna, did you find any clues by asking this?"

"Rainy day,"

she moved her red lips, "When we arrived, it was raining heavily, and it also mentioned 'rain' here. This shouldn't be a coincidence, right!"

This information further increased the possibility that the black shadow in the forest was the 'mother'.

Asuna looked at Lin Ye and asked, "Zero, what are your thoughts!"

"I am actually interested in this 'lie'."

Lin Ye said, "Why lie? Is it because she didn't want the mother to go out to find the 'Master', but why didn't she want the mother to go find the 'Master'! The first note mentioned 'happiness', he was the mother's happiness."

"Is it too dangerous outside?"

Leng Shuang could not help but think, "Worried that the mother would encounter danger if she went out alone, so she didn't want the mother to go out alone?"

There were many possibilities,

but there must be a reason for deceiving the mother, and this reason was related to the core content of the background story of this dungeon task.

"Let's go to guest room 203 next door and take a look! Passerby hasn't appeared yet, I'm afraid it's ominous. There might be a third note in bedroom 203."

After speaking, Lin Ye walked out of the room first.

Bedroom 203 was still tightly closed. Lin Ye knocked, but the door was closed. He looked at the two women and tried to bump it, but it didn't open.

He could only go and ask for the spare key.

"Guest, what are you..."

From the direction of the stairs, the silver-haired maid's voice came.

Lisha, in her black and white maid outfit, blinked her big eyes and spoke, "That... could it be that like yesterday, Mr. Passerby fainted from hunger in the room again and couldn't open the door?"

The maid still remembered?

Is there a problem with Passerby?

Or is Passerby not dead?

"Miss Lisha, have you seen Miss Leng's roommate?"
