This night, the guests did not sleep as hard as before.

Maybe they only touched a few bites of food for the dinner, or maybe they knew what had happened to the castle.

They already felt that it was gloomy here, but now they became even more uneasy.

As sensitive as Zhou Qi said that he smelled the odor, it was stronger than before.

Zhao Jiatong searched the bottom of the bed and the cabinet, and didn't even let go of the pillows and quilts. She pinched the corners of the bed, but couldn't find the source.

Before going to bed, Zhou Qi suddenly lay on the wall beside the door, his nose touched the stone wall for a moment, and said, "Sister Tong... It seems to be coming from the wall."

In one sentence, Zhao Jiatong's hair stood upside down.

But she leaned over and could not smell anything.

"Xiao Zhou, to be honest, how could you do before?" Zhao Jiatong joked with her, trying to ease the atmosphere.

Zhou Qi waved his hand and said, "No, it's really not a charlatan. It's just a dog's nose."

She pulled her coat as a quilt and lay down on the carpet. She looked at the candle chandelier above her head and suddenly said, "But I haven't been so sensitive before. Maybe this exam is special."

Zhao Jiatong lay down beside her, thinking to herself: It's really special.

Especially... it seems like there is something in the exam room, and it has been warning Zhou Qi in the dark.

Zhao Jiatong closed her eyes and thought to herself while carefully paying attention to the movements next door.

Just a slutty thing a 001 works together. She is a duke and she will be crazy. If she doesn't settle the score with them, there will be a ghost. Once the duke comes to make trouble, she will follow her secretly and go out to take a look.

However, when there was really movement outside, she failed to act as planned.

Because Zhou Qi had a fever again.

The girl was burning hot and had a nightmare.

She frowned and was competing, muttering in her sleep in a vague way, but she couldn't wake up.

Zhao Jiatong approached and barely heard her say, "...I want... why don't you let me see you..."

Then he cried with sobs.

It's so strange to have a high fever for two consecutive nights.

Zhao Jiatong couldn't help but remember Qin Jue's words... This disease seemed to be deliberately pressing Zhou Qi, preventing her from running out late at night.

Don't want her to encounter anything?

Still don't want her to see anyone?

***

The walls of the corridor were dark in the middle of the night, and the servants of the castle were gone in the evening, and the doors of the rooms were empty, as if they had never existed.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the stairs.

Several male servants turned to the third floor, and the leader was holding an oil lamp in his hand, and the others lined up behind him.

Their faces were half-light and half-dark in the shaking lights, their facial features were tense, their expressions were stiff and cold, and they exuded a sense of death.

The poor housekeeper Douglas turned into a pig and was unable to help the Duke to relieve his worries for the time being, so the task of catching people fell on their shoulders.

"Just ahead." The leading servant whispered.

He pointed to the door not far away and instructed another servant: "Go knock on the door, and the others surrounded the room."

"Where is the other one?" The servant who knocked on the door raised his hand and asked hesitantly: "Didn't the master ask us to catch two?"

The leader said: "It's next door. After we invite this person, we will invite that person. We are many people, so there is no rush."

"Oh well."

The companions formed a semicircle, and the servant knocked on the wooden door.

Du—

The door opened as soon as I knocked on it.

butler:"?"

You "Huo" held the door and looked at him without any sensation.

The male servant opened his mouth and forgot to say for two seconds, and said mechanically: "Sir, good evening. Are you... not sleeping?"

"What do you think?" You "Huo" was taller than this male servant. When he looked at him, he looked down. Those who were immortal were so cold that they were froze when they looked at him twice.

The male servant got stuck again and didn't answer for a long time.

The one who was still holding the lantern added: "It's just right that I didn't sleep. The Duke wants to ask the gentleman to come over and have a chat."

As he spoke, a male servant on the side held his hand behind his back and clenched an iron rod.

In my impression, guests always panic when invited and try to yell.

Butler Douglas always carries some tools with him, and this iron rod is what he often uses.

The male servant was ready, and as soon as the guest called, he would swing him over.

Unexpectedly, the other party said: "Oh."

The male servant was accustomed to "sex" and almost put the stick on the leader's face.

A embarrassed expression was slowly squeezed out on their blue and white faces, and the lantern took a step back and gave way to You『彩』』.

Unexpectedly, the guest took a step and stopped, turned to the bedroom and said, "Let's go, hurry up."

The male servant was stunned for a moment and said, "Why, did the lady not sleep?"

You "Huo" heard the word "Madam" and glanced at him.

The male servant said, "The Duke is only invited by name to the gentleman, husband--"

He wanted to say that Mrs. will talk about it later.

As a result, You Huo opened the crack in the door and revealed the man who was a little taller than him.

butler:"?"

His "husband" can no longer go on.

He stared at Qin Jue's lower half of his face, and for a second he broke away, stepped back and looked at the door sign, and then asked calmly: "The Duke said that the couple had a room, and it was midnight. Why are you here?"

"What do you think?" Qin Jue said.

butler:"……"

He savored it for a moment, his expression was numb: "The Duke does not like unfaithful people. We were going to find you too. Since that's the case, please come with me both of you."

Qin Jue didn't care at all and came out calmly.

Then, he turned to look into the room.

Inside, the third voice yawned and said vaguely: "Hey, wait for me to put my shoes on."

servant:"???"

Gao Qi jumped out while pulling his boots, and his beard was unshaven and face to face with the male servant.

“…”

The servant's blue-white face changed unpredictably, and after a moment, he waved his hand: "Take it all away!"

Just kidding, three men...

How can such a messy thing be accommodated in the castle?

Just because of this, the master will definitely scare them to cry.

***

The corridor is still dark, and the same oil paintings are hanging high on the stone wall. Half of the people in the paintings are hidden in the darkness, as if they are peeking at them from top to bottom through the mask.

Qin Jue followed three male servants, surrounded him in a half-pack posture, and walked in front.

There were also three male servants behind You Huo, seven or eight meters behind them.

Two more steps to go, Gao Qi and the rest of the servants.

The oil lamp in the male servant's hand squeaked, and the light was like an uneven pool of water, flashing and dark, and a long shaking shadow fell behind Qin Jue.

You "Huo" withdrew his gaze from the oil painting and saw this scene.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to have seen such a scene many times...

The same long corridor, the same lingering feeling of peeping.

There were always a group of people behind Qin Jue, and the same was true behind him. Occasionally, Gao Qi was heard yawning long.

Sometimes they come in person, sometimes they walk one after another, just like now.

No matter which one, there is always a distance between no length and no short distance.

I don't know why...

He always felt that Qin Jue would suddenly stop, hold documents or something, and talk lazily with the people surrounding him.
To be continued...
