People in the original god, the innkeeper, oppressing his sister

As he said that, Gu Bai quietly walked into the duty room, opened the drawer of the desk, and found a key under the surprised eyes of Ying and Yula.

He knew this when he was on night shift with Qin. Yula obviously didn't know about it when she was away for many years, let alone Ying.

"Sometimes I wonder, are you really an honorary knight? It hasn't been long since you came to Mond. Seeing how you are familiar with the road, you always feel like you are very familiar with this place."

Seeing this, Yura said with emotion:

"Whether it's the attitude towards people or the way you do things, if you didn't know that you were really blown up and lost your memory, you would think there is some special purpose lurking here."

Her current state is purely to relieve tension and have nothing to say.

So Gu Bai ignored her, mainly because he couldn't answer this kind of thing, he put away a large bunch of keys in the drawer, and put Edward who had just been lying on the bed behind his back, and made a gesture of clacking.

When a group of people came to the office, locked the door, drew the curtains, and lit a candle, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Several people approached the table seriously, but because Paimon was sitting next to the candle, surrounded by the scene was too weird, Gu Bai pushed her into Ying's arms, the little guy was so frightened that he couldn't even fly. No more, since just now she has been lying tightly on Ying's back.

Gu Bai cleared his throat:

"Theoretically speaking, the safest way is to wait for Edward to wake up, and then we will keep watch until dawn. Even if we can't find that thing, we must at least make sure it won't slip out."

Ying and Yula nodded emphatically. The thought of a person who doesn't know whether it is a person or a ghost can sneak into the Knights without a sound, and it can even be said to be the safest place in all of Mond. One can imagine the psychological shadow it brings. .

"But the problem is, I guess Edward won't be able to wake up."

Gu Bai's tone changed, and there was helplessness in his voice:

"It's a cliché thing that the most important person is unconscious, but unfortunately, that's exactly what happened to us."

"Speaking of which..." He took out the key in his pocket: "I checked it when I was looking for the key just now, and the keys to the gate, roof, and several important rooms are still there. As for the rest of the miscellaneous I can't identify it, but at least I can confirm it..."

"The murderer hasn't left yet!"

Ying and Yula replied in unison.

No one will return the key when they go out.

"Ah."

Gu Bai nodded:

"No matter what, it's still in the Knights. This is the only place we have an advantage, so even if we can't find it, we just need to keep an eye on the doors and windows."

The key to the door is already in his hands. As for the windows, the windows of the Knights are all equipped with guardrails. I don't know if it is because of Keli.

Speaking of Keli, he already missed this little guy. If she was by his side now, everyone would just throw a bomb in the hall, close the door and go out to wait, and then just watch the fireworks calmly.No matter what demons and ghosts you have, they will be wiped out.

"Then, what if it can go through walls?"

Yura asked nervously.

It is said that this ability is standard for ghosts.

Gu Bai thinks this question is stupid:

"If it can pass through the wall, then I suggest that everyone go back to the house and lie down and sleep. If it is really like that, no matter how much preparation we have made, it will be useless."

"Where did you just say... Oh, we can be more proactive and find it as soon as possible."

"Can we act as if nothing happened, pretend to go back to the room to sleep, and catch the murderer when he relaxes his vigilance and looks for a chance to leave?"

Ying asked seriously, at this time she maintained a rare calmness.

"I'm afraid not."

Gu Bai shook his head:

"This is also the most strange part of the whole thing, which is Edward's ending."

As he spoke, Gu Bai pointed to the knight who was still unconscious on the sofa.

But after all, the person is not dead yet, so using the word "ending" doesn't seem very nice. He thought about it and changed his words:

"To be precise, it was Edward's experience. He just passed out. Other than that, he wasn't even injured at all, and he wasn't tied up."

"You know, people always have a purpose. Then, you say, what is the purpose of this thing? To seek revenge, then Edward shouldn't be left alone. Steal something?"

"That's even more wrong. I can secretly sneak into the Knights, but I didn't expect to scare people and check out the hidden dangers. I can't figure out the logic."

"So, it's really a ghost?"

Ying figured out the key.

"Yes, it is because of this that I feel that what we are looking for does not look like a human being."

Gu Bai knocked on the table:

"I have a feeling now that even though we are trying our best to deliberate his every move, these actions may be done unconsciously by him."

"It's like we trampled an ant to death, and the ant will guess why the human being killed them. But for the human being, in fact, he was really just walking normally, and then accidentally injured him."

"I can understand this analogy. In this case, the so-called "it" is like wandering casually, and then met Edward who was on the night shift, and then Edward fainted. It's that simple and a coincidence."

"The only ones that fit this tendency are ghosts."

With that he stood up:

"So we tried to figure out what he was thinking, but it didn't work. Why don't we use a stupid method, turn on the light, and search layer by layer, and we can always find it, what do you think?"

It's important to ask your partner's opinion, sometimes he can be misled.

The proposal was subsequently passed unanimously.

Yula is the most active one. She is almost driven crazy by this pretentious atmosphere. Instead of calculating and calculating, it is better to solve it by fighting and push it directly.

"Okay, that's it."

Gu Bai took a cup and poured some water, the water in the kettle was already cold, and he didn't know whose cup belonged to it, it was probably Qin's, but he didn't care too much about it at the moment.

After moistening his throat, he held the candle and went to the wall, and searched for a long time to remove the two photo frames.

"This is?"

Although she didn't quite understand it, Ying felt that Gu Bai's actions must have a deep meaning.

"Oh, this is the photo of the head of the group, and the other is Qin's. Please come and pay your respects before you act. I hope you don't really encounter ghosts."

Gu Bai returned calmly.

Even though he said so, of course Bai would not really go to worship, after all, the head of the group was just going on an expedition, and Qin was probably sleeping at home, both of them were fine, this was just to ease the atmosphere.

I didn't see Ying and Yula's lips began to turn pale.

In contrast, Gu Bai's state of mind is not bad. Although he didn't know what he was going to face, but when he thought that he himself was the biggest bug in this world, most of his fear naturally dissipated.

There is another point that he didn't say, because he couldn't say it, and that was his side as a player.

Seriously, what would a being that was not mentioned at all in the main and sidelines of Mond be.

He is really curious.

Gu Bai licked his lips.

"Let's get started, everyone."

"Also, I thought about it. In order to be safer, that is, to completely rule out the fact that it is a human being, I can also use the method you just mentioned."

"In this way, the three of you will pretend to be nonchalant and go to the second floor to create the illusion of going back to the room to sleep. I will go downstairs to observe a little bit, and then go up to meet you after confirming that there is nothing wrong, and then officially start searching floor by floor. .”

This is basically a foolproof arrangement.

Waiting for Ying and Yula to take a deep breath, and then the two of them hugged Paimon one by one, and pushed open the door by the other, then turned around and gave Gu Bai a firm look, and walked out step by step.

Gu Bai leaned behind the door, put his ear close to him, and listened to the situation in the hall.

The footsteps of Ying and Yula got farther and farther away, and the two walked up the stairs slowly, there was no other abnormality except for the first time.

They were even chatting and laughing, Yula seemed to say something, and then laughed to herself, if she didn't hear her trembling ending, she would have thought she was really scared.

Well, of course this is all staged, just a little too hard.

When the sound disappeared, the hall returned to silence, and time passed by.

Gu Bai held his breath and continued to wait patiently.

until……

Still nothing happened.

It seems that he thinks too much.

But this doesn't mean it's a good thing. The faster "it" appears, the easier it is for everyone. On the contrary, it's the pressure that has been kept silent.

At this moment, Gu Bai felt very heavy.

There is no movement, which means that the facts and my guess are getting closer.

And the true face of "it" is getting farther and farther away from a real person.

Time to go back.

He glanced at Edward and patted his face, but there was still no response.

I sighed in my heart.Just leave him in the office, and lock the door behind him when he goes out, which is the safest way for Edward.

Thinking of this, Gu Bai blew out the candle and put his hand on the doorknob.

The moment he was about to open the door, and then...

The door rang.

……

The door rang, but it wasn't the door in front of him, but the door of the knight order made a sound.

The rotating shaft made a rattling sound, which was especially harsh in the silence.

How can it be?

Gu Bai's heart trembled.

Not only does it appear suddenly and silently;

But the key to the door is clearly in his hand, how on earth did he open it?

But soon, he didn't care about it anymore.

Because after the door was opened, there was a sound of footsteps, making a crisp sound on the marble floor, and that sound was walking towards the second floor.

And after the footsteps heading to the second floor, there was another footstep.

one left!

Gu Bai opened his eyes wide in an instant.

In addition to the speculated person, there is actually another one!

There are two people in total!

And the second footsteps didn't go upstairs, but came towards the office.

At this time, he didn't have time to inform Ying and Yula, because once he rushed out, all his preparations would be in vain.

The sound was getting closer.

Gu Bai drew out his long sword.

Grab the fire.

A bright flame ignited behind the door, and there was only a door between them and the sound of footsteps.

Everything happened quietly, at the moment when the footsteps stopped at the door.

He flung open the door—

……

Her blond hair fell to her shoulders, not pulled into a ponytail as usual.

After all, when he was suddenly called out in his deep sleep, even the acting captain, who was always strict with himself, was not in the mood to tidy up his hair.

What's more, she has urgent matters.

The 19-year-old girl was the head of the Zephyr Knights at the time, which is enough to show her excellent ability.

From the forceful sending of missions to Mond by the Fools, to the Fengmolong riot, to the amnesia caused by a friend being blown up, and to the fact that the Fools were taken over for unknown reasons, think about it this way, since the Grand Leader left , a lot has happened.

Especially recently, there are so many things, or anger, or powerlessness, or guilt, or happiness, or embarrassment, are all things that she can remember for a lifetime.
