The sky has completely darkened.

The light beams in the castle shine on the snow through the glass windows.

The cold wind blew.

The snowflakes rotate like goose feathers and follow the wind direction.

Hattori Heiji looked out the window, no, to be precise, he was looking at his reflection on the glass, and suddenly he was frightened by a pair of cold eyes that appeared behind him.

"More...Brother New, are you silent when you walk..."

A certain black skin took a while and then he breathed evenly.

God knows, he thought just now that the killer from an organization sneaked in.

"It has been thoroughly checked and there is no camera, but we still need to be wary of more secretive physical eavesdroppers. Those things do not have radio waves. Although they have the disadvantage of receiving messages, this is someone else's castle after all."

Do you want to be more careful when talking to the two?

Just say this kind of thing directly, why do you need to lay so many foundations?

Hattori Heiji was afraid that he would not understand comprehensively enough, so he quickly said, "So, Brother New, what you mean..."

"You can change your words and call me the newest brother." Ye Gengyi said.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Hattori Heiji waved his hands repeatedly.

What if this habit is formed?

After returning, what if I screamed like this and was heard by that stinky boy, my tail would not be raised to the sky?!

In this way, it is not as simple as the ranking of "Kutou in Kanto and Hattori of Kansai". After it is spread, it is very likely to evolve into "Kutou Nishidi".

...

After the lights are turned off and rested.

Neither of them talked about exploring the castle at night.

It seemed that Ye Gengyi's reminder had worked. Hei Pi, who was unwilling to call "Xinyi Brother", fell asleep not long after.

In the second half of the night.

Hattori Heiji heard a strange sound in a daze.

The sound seemed to be far apart, and it seemed... it came from the corridor of their bedroom!

He suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously looked at Ye Gengyi.

However, the bed is still the same bed, but there is no one on it...

This discovery immediately made Hattori Heiji feel unhappy.

He hurriedly took out his cell phone, and while confirming the time, he used the faint light on the screen to scan the room.

3 a.m.

Question: I was sleeping in the room of two people, but when I woke up, I found that I was the only one left. There was a sound of suspected objects dragging on the ground from the corridor. What should I do?

Hattori Heiji was not panicked.

He first gently came to Ye Gengyi's bed, lifted the quilt and reached out to touch it.

It's already cold...

Well, this way, it is impossible to tell when the other party leaves.

Hattori Heiji did not hesitate.

He hurried to the door again.

The sounds outside are getting farther and farther away.

He put his ear on the door panel and listened carefully.

Soon the strange squeak completely disappeared.

It seems that I can only... go out and take a look...

Hattori Heiji took a deep breath and said to himself: "There is a toilet in the room. If you are caught now, you can't use the excuse that the number one person said is very cliché."

The next second, he did what the hero would do in a horror movie.

Open the door...

There was no door to kill, nor was there a face that showed a grim smile in the cold light.

The left and right sides were naturally still corridors, but the lights had gone out at this time, and the rich darkness seemed to be a vortex that devoured everything, making people unable to see the end at a glance.

Hattori Heiji gently closed the door and began to recall the direction where the previous sound disappeared.

Their room was originally in front of the corner, and the sound would disappear so quickly, it was possible that they had gone to one place - the lobby.

He tiptoed forward according to his memory.

Not long after, I arrived at the location where I had just entered the castle.

Behind me is the guest room.

The restaurant is the one that turns left and right in front.

Where will you go?

Hattori Heiji's eyes fell on the stairs near the central area.

There is a territory he has not yet entered.

Looking up, because of the lack of light, the steps above thirteen pedals were completely wrapped in darkness.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on one of the steps.

The steps were at the corner at the end of the sight, and there was a large cylinder carrying the weight of the floor slab, and on the side of the column, half of the shoe seemed to be exposed.

White shoes, not... socks!

The reason Hattori Heiji was able to make a judgment so quickly was largely because he didn't wear shoes, and he just happened to have a pair of black socks on his feet.

They all wore socks.

So, it’s true that there is someone over there. Who will be? Who is like himself, running out in the middle of the night without wearing shoes...

Because the distance is far and the other party's body is almost completely blocked by the pillars, unless you get close to see, you can't tell anything from this darkness at all.

Past...or can't?

Hattori Heiji was a little confused.

I'm so dark...that person probably didn't see me...

Wait, something is wrong...

If the other party heard the sound and came out, the person he had before might be still on the first floor, maybe he was near him!

Oh no, you must not stay in such an empty place...

Although I am black, I am not so dark that I can’t even find it even if I get close to you!

When Hattori Heiji thought of this, he felt that it would be better to be more at ease first.

There were stone pillars on both sides of the main entrance entrance, so he hid in with a clue of inspiration.

Isn’t it just that he observes secretly and is more patient, so will it?

In an instant, the entire castle seemed to fall into the silence of no one again.

This atmosphere didn't last long.

Soon, the strange "swish" sound came again.

Hattori Heiji's eyes narrowed and he quickly looked out.

However, when he saw clearly who that person was.

Instead, he became even more confused.

Old housekeeper?

He didn't sleep in the middle of the night and pushed a dining cart with night lights. Who are he delivering food to?

Is it the somewhat nervous lady, or the lawyer who exudes a suspicious atmosphere inside and out?

Just as he was observing, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a strip that slipped out of the old butler's pocket.

If it is an ordinary debris, it would be fine, but this thing is actually a pointer to a clock. Judging from the size of the dial, it should be the one used to count the hours.

Why? Why is it on that old housekeeper?

There are more doubts, Hattori Heiji is completely confused.

I really want to go over and pick it up...

At this time, some black skin had already put most of her thoughts on that pointer.

Although the castle is made of stone floors, carpets are paved on the roads through various areas.

Therefore, the sound of the pointer falling just now may not be heard by the mysterious person on the stairs.

But what if he saw it?

Hattori Heiji dare not confirm.

Compared to an unknown pointer, it seems that taking this opportunity to figure out the other party’s identity is also a good choice.

Take it or not...

You have to make a decision soon.
