Chapter 425

~8 min read 1,471 words

Lin Ye asked.

"Roommate?" She tilted her head in confusion, "Isn't Miss Leng in a room by herself? Could Miss Leng be referring to Mr. Passerby?"

The career woman Lin Lin had already been forgotten, just like the high school student.

But Passerby was still remembered.

Lin Ye spoke up, "Maid, please take the spare key to guest room 203,"

"Okay, please wait a moment,"

The silver-haired maid immediately headed to the fourth floor and opened the door to guest room 203.

The door opened,

the room was a mess,

which made the maid exclaim, "Could it be that the villa has been robbed?"

It was just that there was no sign of Passerby in the room.

Asuna walked quickly toward the window, but the window was tightly closed. The possibility of Passerby leaving from the window was very low. Leng Shuang, however, noticed another note on the table.

Passerby was not dead, but there was a new note in guest room 203.

Does the appearance of the note have nothing to do with the number of player deaths? Does it have to do with the number of times the eerie enters the guest room?

"That... guest, Mr. Passerby might have gone out for a walk."

"Hmm, we'll look around nearby. Lisha, help us go to the fourth floor and take a look, he might have gone to the fourth floor,"

"Eh eh eh, that's not possible, right!"

Lisha exclaimed.

"That guy is very lustful, maybe he coveted Miss Carter's beauty and secretly went to the fourth floor last night to raid Miss Carter."

"Sigh!"

The silver-haired maid's eyes widened, "Sorry, I'm leaving first,"

She did not hesitate at all and rushed toward the stairs, seemingly truly worried that what Lin Ye said would become reality.

"Couldn't you find a better reason?"

"Isn't this reason quite suitable?"

Lin Ye smiled, "I'm going to the third floor, you go to the first floor and the garden to look. If he is not dead, he might be hiding in some place."

After speaking, Lin Ye immediately left the bedroom and quickly followed the maid.

He calculated the time, and until he heard the sound of a door opening on the fourth floor, he walked up lightly.

Hearing the conversation between the maid and the blonde young lady, Lin Ye turned right and headed to the maid's room first.

His movements were very light, avoiding attracting the attention of the maid and the young lady on the other side.

Soon, he successfully entered the maid's room.

In a few seconds,

Lin Ye quickly looked through the situation in the maid's room. He did not find Passerby, nor did he find any other special items.

Therefore, Lin Ye came to the maid's door and started time stop.

"Time stop, start,"

he seized the time and quickly rushed into the blonde young lady's room.

Inside the room, Lisha, in her black and white maid outfit, was maintaining a conversation posture with Lisha Carter, the blonde young lady in pajamas.

The two stood in the room, facing each other with their red lips slightly open, falling into a state of absolute stillness.

Lin Ye looked at it at a glance and did not see Passerby. He looked under the bed and also opened the wardrobe, but did not see Passerby.

Seeing this, he turned to search for potentially useful clues.

Lin Ye looked at the large, clean bed. Several clothes belonging to the blonde young lady were scattered on the bed. He checked simply and did not find any special items.

Subsequently, he immediately came to the desk. In the middle of the desk was a literary anthology that had been flipped through.

Lin Ye flipped through it and saw some notes, but the annotations were only explanations of the content of the literary anthology.

The time until the end was closer. Lin Ye put down the book and returned it to its original place, then immediately left the room.

Time stop reached its time and was lifted.

"Young Lady, it's good that you're okay."

"What could happen to me?"

"There is, there is a guest who disappeared. Mr. Zero said he might have come to the fourth floor to raid you, Young Lady. I, I..."

"Mr. Zero is joking with you!"

The blonde young lady smiled slightly, "Although this joke is not funny at all."

"Woo, too hateful, how can he make such a joke."

Aiqi Carter shook her head, seemingly not caring at all.

"Young Lady, I'll go prepare breakfast first. Is your breakfast the same, should I bring it to the fourth floor?"

"Yes, thank you for your trouble."

"What trouble is there."

The silver-haired maid Lisha immediately turned and left the bedroom, heading to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast.

And Aiqi Carter, who remained in her room, closed and locked the door. She came to the window again and looked out. She saw Leng Shuang, the woman in the black trench coat, searching for something in the garden.

Lin Ye returned to the third floor to look for Passerby, who did not know where he was, but he was not on the third floor.

Therefore, Lin Ye came to the first floor and happened to run into Asuna, who had come to the hall.

"Did you find him?"

"No, except for the dining room which I didn't enter, I searched everywhere else, but I didn't find Passerby."

Asuna knew from Lin Ye's reaction that Passerby was not on the third floor either, "Could he be on the fourth floor?"

Lin Ye shook his head. Although there were two rooms he hadn't searched, the possibility of Passerby being on the fourth floor was not very high.

Asuna said "Hmm". She thought that Lin Ye had probably followed the maid to the fourth floor to investigate just now.

He had once again borne the most dangerous thing alone.

Such a player is rare in the entire eerie game.

As far as she knew, players who could cooperate normally and not hold each other back were already considered good, let alone a player like Lin Ye who frequently took the initiative to bear the greatest risk and left the risk to himself.

"Let's go outside and take a look,"

Lin Ye and Asuna had just walked out of the villa door for a while when Leng Shuang, in her black trench coat, ran over quickly.

"Found him,"

"Where?"

Leng Shuang did not say, but led the way in front.

Following Leng Shuang, Lin Ye finally saw Passerby.

Passerby, who had lost an arm, was pale. He saw Lin Ye and tried hard to squeeze out a smile, "Morning...!"

Looking at the bloodstains by the doghouse next to Passerby, Lin Ye and Asuna both realized where Passerby was last night.

"What was the situation last night?"

Did the German Shepherd John attack Passerby? Was the eerie the German Shepherd?

Passerby sat on the ground.

The German Shepherd John stuck out its tongue and swayed its body to Lin Ye's side. Asuna was on guard, worried that the German Shepherd would suddenly explode.

"Last night, the 'eerie' played the high school student, of course I'm not sure if it was playing, or if the high school student turned into an eerie after death. The eerie knocked on the door to attack, and finally actually used a key to open the door. If you hadn't tested it in advance and I hadn't blocked the door with the cabinet, the eerie would have come in even more easily."

On this point, Passerby, as well as Leng Shuang, admired Lin Ye's quick thinking. After the maid used the spare key to open the guest room door, he immediately associated whether the eerie could use the spare key to open the guest room door.

It was precisely because of this that they had one more preparation for the eerie's intrusion.

"I failed, I couldn't hold it, and started a fight with the eerie, but I was no match for it."

Passerby looked at his left arm. This arm was infected and mutated during the fight with the eerie last night, and he decisively chose to cut off his left hand to survive.

"Finally, I had no way to drive the eerie out of the room, so I had to use a teleportation talisman."

"Teleportation prop?"

"Yes, a white-quality teleportation talisman, 50-meter range, random teleportation."

Thinking of this, Passerby revealed a self-deprecating smile, "But my luck wasn't very good, I was sent to the stairs, the eerie quickly discovered me, I had no choice but to run downstairs, came to the first floor, and left the villa, but that guy had no intention of letting me go at all, until John appeared and roared,"

"I didn't move, I didn't dare to run."
