Male lead, don't be impulsive, it's me [System]

When the door of the room was opened, Hull saw Naxi standing in the doorway with bare feet in a coarse linen robe.

"Hull?" The boy walked a few steps closer, yawning and rubbing his eyes. He raised his head and glanced at the strange face following Hull in doubt, and asked, "What happened?"

Naxi's appearance obviously has been lying down and sleeping for a long time. This realization made Hull pause, originally because he thought that Naxi's action ink had now swallowed the words of blame.From his point of view, he can see a piece of milky white skin, delicate collarbone, and two faint spots of tenderness from the boy's reddened eye corners and slightly open neckline... Hull instinctively looked away, and then A pair of feet with the same milky white skin came into view. They seemed to be in a hurry to open the door, so they didn't wear shoes. Because of the cold, one of the bare feet curled up slightly, reflecting the dark brown wooden floor almost... tempting. The color of people.

Once again, Hale was grateful that his skin was so dark that it was impossible to see the change in his face.

He just lowered his head and looked a few more times, and Hull quickly looked away—this time the matter seemed a little serious, and he felt his nose itchy.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and change your clothes!" Hull looked away and raised his hands, telling Naxi to quickly change into the clothes he was going out.The boy obediently turned around and went in. Because he was urged, he didn't care about the door being wide open, so he picked up the clothes that were put on the chair beside the bed for the next day and began to change.

Anyway, we are all men, what are we afraid of.

The strange servant standing next to Hull looked around Naxi's room, found nothing unusual, and then fell back on the boy, and found that the boy had taken off his nightgown and threw it on the bed, with his back facing him, white and thin The back and straight and slender legs can be seen at a glance.Hull, who was still looking away, turned back by chance to take a look, and his eyes immediately popped out. He quickly turned around and blocked the door, blocking the "view" in the room, playing with the strange servant. Played the game of staring and staring.

But Naxi in the room was still asking the question unconsciously: "Whose call is it urgently?"

Hull, who had acted as the door god for a while, didn't have the heart to answer his question at all. After Naxi put on his clothes and folded them out, he just called out Hull, and before he could finish speaking, Hull pulled him away. After closing the door, he said in a vicious voice, "Why do you ask so many questions, just follow me!"

Naxi had no choice but to shut up, showing an embarrassed smile at the strange servant, Ren Hull dragged him hurriedly towards the main hall on the first floor, Hull looked back at him a few times while walking, and then He scolded: "You go to bed without drying your hair, don't regret it when you get sick in the future!"

Just like an old lady.

A voice came out of the system in my mind: [How can the host say that, this is your admirer's deep love for you! ] Naxi was upset by the unclear symbols and ridicule in the system's sentence, but he managed his expressions to the best of his ability. He even showed a touch of embarrassment after feeling that he was cared about: "But Shang It's very tiring after a day of class, especially the martial arts class in the afternoon is very exhausting, I don't know when I fell asleep..."

Hull's mind was full of the naked back of the boy he saw just now, and he couldn't think of an answer for a long time, so he could only end the topic with a cold snort.

The three of them came to the main hall on the first floor. There was already a room full of people standing here, half of them were servants of the noble guests living in this building, and some were servants of the main family of the City Lord's Mansion who were on duty here tonight.

Everyone's expressions were vaguely disturbed. Most of them were dug out from the warm blanket just like Naxi, and they didn't know what happened.

However, no matter what happened, the only certainty is that the current situation must be very serious, otherwise it would be impossible for everyone to be gathered together, and maybe someone will come to interrogate them soon.

As one of the people who felt the same in his heart, Naxi obviously also felt uneasy, but his uneasiness was completely different from everyone's uneasiness.

He just went back to his room and changed a set of clothes. In such a short period of time, there was an order to summon them to the main hall on the first floor. Except for the nobles living in this building, the people who have this ability Only the city lord was left. If we go further, the strange faces that Naxi saw undoubtedly fully explained the fact that the watchers were not sent by others, but were written by the city lord Ralph. When the incident happened, the city lord Your lord should be nearby—otherwise, counting the time it takes for the servants to report, it will take at least ten minutes to come from the main house.Right now, the fact that the Lord of the City came faster than the servant who lived in this house is enough to explain the problem.

Seeing a few more servants coming in a hurry, Naxi sized up the new arrivals, then glanced at the strange servant who came to his room with Hell just now, and asked Hele in a low voice. Er: "...what the hell is going on?"

Hull looked solemn, but only shook his head at him.

Frankly speaking, no one knows what's going on right now better than Naxi.Felaixi is considered a big shot in Zheli City. If what Naxi did is exposed, Naxi can't think of any other end except for a death sentence.

The servant with an unfamiliar face probably came with Hull under Ralph's order, and Naxi was sure that he had never seen this person before.During the few days of living here, Naxi already knew what all the servants of the City Lord's Mansion who came here on duty looked like. Now that there were so many strange servants in the main hall on the first floor, he knew what it meant without thinking.

Because the system has the environment detection function, the strange servant's observation of his room did not escape the eyes of the system when he was changing clothes just now, so Naxi guessed that this person was probably sent by the city lord to spy on them secretly. people.

Naxi, who knew it well, felt a little flustered. What did the presence of a watcher mean?It shows that the city lord already knew that Felaixi's death was not an accident, let alone because of his own injuries, but homicide.So Naxi was desperately trying to remember whether he had left any clues all the way along with Hull.Naxi only felt that his headache was worse because of the aftereffects left by the mental confrontation with the heretic before.

After thinking about it, he felt that he did not leave any objects that could be evidence. The only thing that was uncertain was the water marks he left in the room—the time was too tight, and he left on the ground and on the inside of the window. The water stains may not have been completely wiped off, and the person came in so quickly... Because the water did not dry so quickly in winter, it was discovered that someone had entered Felaixi's room, and everyone was called urgently the reason.

I have to tell the truth about Naxi.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Ralph appeared in everyone's sight, followed by Winston, a nobleman who looked at him strangely, his servant, and the man who Naxi had seen in the morning taking care of Felici .

Naxi only saw Ralph once during the few days he lived here. The lord of Zheli City was a man in his 40s with a beard and a thick and rough voice. Quite a rough man, but the fact is that he, the lord of the city, controls the city of Zheli very well.

Ralph glanced sideways at the butler who had been standing in an inconspicuous place on one side of the hall, and the butler in a neat uniform stepped forward immediately: "A shocking incident happened in the guest building of the City Lord's Mansion tonight. What happened, our honorable magician in Zheli City, Mr. Felaixi—has fallen!"

Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, and then the pot exploded with a "boom". Voices of disbelief and doubts about Felaixi's death came one after another, and noisy voices immediately filled the entire hall.

The steward didn't let this situation last for long. He stretched out his white-gloved hands and pressed his palms down: "Although Mr. Felaixi was admitted to the city lord's mansion because of his injuries, his injuries are not spiritual. Not physically, according to the priest who diagnosed Lord Felici's injury, the injury of the Lord is not incurable, as long as he rests for a long time, he can be cured, and the priests of the temple can testify to this, but--" the housekeeper The voice was prolonged, and the eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the hall one by one: "Lord Felaixi was murdered!"

There was a gasp.

"We have already asked the guards stationed around the city lord's mansion, and they have not seen anyone leaving from the city lord's mansion, so!" The butler said solemnly, "The murderer who murdered Mr. Felaixi is still alive!" In the city lord's mansion, the knight who had been guarding Lord Felici found Lord Ralph immediately and sealed off the entire mansion. Based on the time calculation, it is very likely that the murderer is still in this house—— Among you! Find out who he is!" without saying how exactly they got the information that the murderer might still be in the house.

The people in the hall looked at each other, and there was a burst of whispering.

Naxi immediately noticed that Ralph and Felici's guardian knight, Ali, looked at each other.After exchanging glances with each other, Ralph spoke and said his first words after entering the main hall: "You have 3 minutes, you can confess your guilt or identify the murderer, no matter who killed someone, I will blame you." Ralph promises to give him a decent death! After 3 minutes, we will use magic to find out the murderer or the possible shelter. Once we find out the relevant person, there is only one end - banishment to the ghost swamp !"

As soon as Ralph opened his mouth, there was a full momentum in his thick voice, which was the power that only those who have been in high positions all the year round possessed.

In an instant, the whispers still in the hall were swept away, and the fear that the words "ghost swamp" brought to everyone was obvious. No one dared to speak again, and the whole hall fell into a deathly silence.

The place name "Phantom Swamp" is almost a household name in Zheli City.

It is located at the back of a forest about two kilometers west of Zheli City. That place is the lair of monsters. Because the miasma that does not disperse is permeated all the year round, as long as they are inhaled, there is a danger of losing consciousness. Those who are waiting for these unconscious people are being killed by monsters. The fate of them taking them back to their lairs and eating them as food, monsters are powerful and terrifying, but there will still be strong people who want to prove their power by taming them, but—there is such an invisible "backup" as the ghost swamp. However, if a strong person wants to go in and subdue a monster, he must first weigh whether his own strength is enough.

A man with a fate once witnessed a hungry monster dismantling a living person into countless pieces of meat and swallowing it. The man didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune. Although he came back alive, he was insane and crazy.In the case that few people can come out after entering, the forest in front of the ghost swamp has become the most striking boundary, and almost no one dares to stay near it.

Because of the proximity, the Phantom Swamp has become a purely natural place of execution in Zheli City. Exile to the Phantom Swamp is the cruelest form of punishment known to the people of Zheli City.

Three minutes passed quickly, and silence shrouded everyone in the hall from beginning to end.

Regardless of whether he did not admit it or everyone was innocent, Ralph waved people to use the second method for testing.

Felessi's guardian knight was named Ali. He left alone for a short while during the 3-minute silence, and after a while he brought back a long-necked bottle and put it in front of everyone.

Ali's face was full of grief and anger that couldn't be calmed down. It seemed that Felaixi's sudden death had a big impact on him. Think about it too, Felaixi's sudden death happened under the nose of his guardian knight. Yes, this is tantamount to a loud slap in the face. If the murderer who killed Felaixi is not found today, I am afraid that Ali will no longer be able to live as a knight because of his dereliction of duty.

Holding the long-necked bottle, he tilted the mouth of the bottle slightly towards the crowd, and made a show: "This is one of the magic supplies that Mr. Felici will escort during his lifetime. It is called a polygraph bottle. The mouth of the bottle can accommodate a strong An adult's arm can be inserted, as long as you reach into the belly of the bottle, touch the inner wall, and say 'I didn't kill Lord Felici', you can detect whether you are lying."

After the guardian knight finished speaking, he turned his head and nodded to Ralph without looking at the expressions of the crowd.

The next moment, all the lighting in the entire hall was turned off, and it fell into darkness.The light from the other side of the main house penetrated dimly through the windows, and the people behind the backlight could only see the burning light in Ali's eyes—it was the determination to find out the murderer who killed Mr. Felaixi!

Ali kept everyone's position in the hall in mind. Holding the polygraph bottle, he first stood in front of the city lord Ralph, and asked him to put his hand into the bottle, touch the inner wall and speak his own words.The city lord could not escape, and the two nobles who were guests at the city lord's mansion were not easily let go. Fortunately, everyone was very cooperative in finding the murderer out of consideration for their own safety, and did not raise any objections.

Soon, the lighting in the hall was turned on again, and everyone's sight was restored to light.

Everyone raised the hand that had touched the belly of the bottle—including the city lord—there were scorched black marks on everyone's hands, which made everyone puzzled.

But Ali's face changed: "How could...there is no murderer?!"

No one saw it. Standing among the crowd who were looking down at the black marks on their hands, the corners of the mouth of a thin boy, covered by the light golden hair, quietly and unobtrusively evoked a very small arc. .
