Chapter 822

~7 min read 1,307 words

When Xia De returned home that night, the full yellow moon was hanging in the center of the night sky. Tonight is the full moon phase of the Yellow Moon, which has a deep representative meaning in mysticism.

It's just that Xia De didn't have time to consider the academic significance of the Yellow Moon. When the carriage sent him to the door, the detective who got off the carriage was wearing a white shirt, carrying his black formal coat on his arm, and his black tie was also on his coat:

"The personalities of Lei Qianya and Dorothy are really very different."

Mia stood on his shoulder and yawned, then looked up at the yellow moon with great interest. The amber eyes reflected the moonlight. The cat blinked and looked up at the second floor of the house.

Although the house was deserted, when he walked up the stairs, Xia De still felt the warmth of home. He was in a very good mood at this time. This was of course not because of what happened in the top box of the Delarion King Opera House, but at the end of the opera, when Xia De asked Lei Qianya about her opinion of Luweiya and her opinion of his greed, the Princess gave a definite answer:

"Dorothy treats Luweiya as a friend, and I am the same. The relationship between us will definitely change because of your relationship with us, but I still treat her as a friend. Knight, I don't know what method you used to make Luweiya not mind your greed, but since she didn't denounce, curse, or even duel with Dorothy and me, then I respect her... respect her for getting it first."

While speaking, she waved her hand to restore the light of the gas lamp in the room. Of course, the fifth-ring witch used an illusion, so the light change here could not be seen from the outside.

When she said this, she didn't look very reconciled, but she still respected the basic "rules of the game" and got up to call Angelina in the next room and arranged for someone to tidy up the sofa.

Xia De, who was sitting on the sofa, didn't know what to say at that time. He understood his sin, but refused to let go. And the Princess saw his expression, hummed softly, and showed a mocking expression on her face:

"Be better to Dorothy, she is far more fragile than I am. As for your marriage problem, we won't discuss this until I achieve my goal. After all, the days ahead are still long. Can two people be worse than one?"

Recalling that conversation, Xia De turned on the lights in the second-floor living room, thinking that he would wash up a little and then go to rest. After all, he had to go to the Tobesk train station tomorrow to welcome the returning Priest Augustus.

It was just that when he had just walked into the living room of Room 1, the cat on his shoulder jumped down immediately. It ran to the door between Room 1 and Room 2 and drilled into the next room through the crack of the door.

Xia De looked at it:

"Speaking of which, besides liking to scratch the wall next door, Mia also likes to run around on the third floor in autumn. But since last Wednesday, it has never taken the initiative to play on the third floor."

Subconsciously walked toward the side bedroom where he had slept for half a year, only to remember that he had moved into the master bedroom. Turned and walked toward the master bedroom on the other side, intending to put this formal suit into the wardrobe, but thought about it, and looked up at the floor above:

"Assuming that Mia was originally interested in the third floor, but now suddenly lost interest, it is because the cat keenly sensed that the boundary of the house affected by the Narrow Gap is gradually getting out of control. And now the boundary has disappeared, so it is no longer interested in the third floor. Then, why is Little Mia interested in Room 2 next door and often scratches the wall?"

A chuckle came from his ear, and in the creaking sound of the wardrobe door opening, a whisper sounded:

【Who knows?】

"Could there be two boundaries of life and death in my house?"

Xia De muttered suspiciously. After putting away his clothes, he returned to the living room and came to the second room on the second floor, which was still empty, through the door installed in the two rooms during the renovation:

"Anyway, this house does have more than one problem, so it's better to be cautious."

Because Miss Miss Jia Lin Na's maids come to clean every week, the room is very clean. The heavy blackout curtains in the living room were pulled to both sides, and the bright yellow moonlight shone on the floor and on the white painted walls of the living room.

Mia was squatting on the bright floor at this time, her tail against the floor, watching the wall illuminated by the moon in front of the wall. The cat's back was to the window, and the cat's shadow was reflected on the wall, like a huge alien monster.

"Mia, go to sleep."

Xia De bent down and clapped his hands. The orange cat looked at the wall with some regret, and then ran to Xia De in high spirits. Obviously, Xia De was more attractive to it than anything here.

The young detective smiled and picked up the cute cat, thinking that it was the beginning of the month again, and perhaps he would receive a brand new letter from Miss Mia Gao De in the next few days. He didn't plan to take a long-distance trip to the remote coastal town where Miss Gao De's family lived in winter, but the spring trip could be planned in advance.

Holding the cat that kept wriggling to find a more comfortable position, he walked toward the door between the two rooms, but suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked at the unusually bright yellow moon in the night sky through the window. In mid-March, the Yellow Moon represents "guidance", so the Yellow Moon at full moon is the brightest moon.

"Speaking of which, strange things have happened in every floor and every room of this house. When I first took over this house, only Room 1 on the second floor was open, and Room 2 on the second floor was locked and forbidden to enter. The thing that happened in Room 2 on the second floor was..."

Xia De held Mia back to Room 1, recalling the terrible accidents that had happened in his house. Turned and pulled the door handle to close the door, but blinked.

【Blood Echo】 took effect. Under the bright moonlight, large swaths of blood-colored halos piled up together. Although seventy years had passed and it had been cleaned several times, faint traces could still be seen.

【Mass suicide.】

"Yes, mass suicide (Chapter 43)."

Xia De nodded, hesitated looking at the blood light, took out the Night Watcher, held it and walked around Room 2, confirmed that there was no abnormal reaction, and then closed the door in a good mood:

"I don't know what travel souvenirs Priest Augustus will bring us... Although I can go to Midhill to buy them at any time, receiving gifts and buying them yourself are different feelings."

The empty Room 2 on the second floor returned to tranquility. The yellow moonlight shone on the wall that Mia had just looked at. In the center of the white wall, the circular mark was like the moon in the night sky, that confused, yellow moon.
