Under the gloomy sky, newspaper bags were blown up by the wind, and passers-by were hurriedly changing into warm and simple clothes.
Lu Li woke up earlier than the previous two days. After washing, he took an umbrella and took the Baron's carriage waiting outside, leaving Sailor Street.
…
The surface of the Agate Lake is no longer calm, and the branches of the dead trees are swaying gently in the wind.
A black leather boot stepped out of the carriage, followed by a tall figure who stepped off the carriage. The whistling wind picked up the hem of his clothes and ruffled the ends of his black hair. Lu Li lowered his head slightly and stepped into the manor.
The maid opened the door, and after Lu Li walked in, she closed it again. The cold air and the sound of wind were blocked out as the door closed.
After his body regained its warmth, Lu Li followed the maid who led the way to the restaurant. Baron Joseph was waiting for Lu Li - of course she would not let go of this opportunity to be alone.
It just so happened that Lu Li also came to see her for something.
"Pay the reward in advance? Of course, no problem. Lulu, go prepare for our Lu Li exorcist."
The baron readily complied with this trivial request.
"Thanks."
After settling the payment issue, Lu Li picked up his knife and fork and started enjoying breakfast.
Baron Joseph narrowed his long eyes and watched Lu Li quietly eating, taking a sip of wine from time to time.
After finishing breakfast ten minutes later, Baron Joseph left to change his clothes, while Lu Li went to the bedroom after changing his clothes.
The three people in Petra are already waiting here, discussing the endings of the story that may end today: fairy tale endings, good endings and bad endings.
The fairy tale ending is that Adam and Sarah live happily together. This scene usually appears in fairy tales - such as The Princess and the Prince.
The good ending is that Sarah escapes from the birdcage. The so-called good ending is relative. The male protagonist Adam may die and the Viscount may lose the chance to continue the family, but Sarah is free.
The bad ending is the sad ending, Sarah and Adam are lovers but cannot be together.
The tastes of evil spirits are unknown, and all of them are possible.
"We may even be too optimistic, don't forget the name of the story." Petra hinted to Lu Li and others.
After a while, the baron, who had changed into his maid uniform, arrived, and Sarah woke up as the time approached.
The echoing sound of bells drifted from the clock in the hall.
[Chapter 7 The Dead Lover]
The obscure ancient voice sounded on time, and the content contained made the exorcists look at each other.
It seems that the fairy tale ending can be ruled out.
"Sarah" was confined to her room because of the dinner in the evening, and her piano lessons, dance lessons and etiquette classes were all canceled today. This is intuitively reflected in the story. The morning and afternoon were spent doing nothing, and the story skipped the day.
[Night falls, the dinner is about to begin, and there are more and more guests in the hall. As the owner of the mansion, the Viscount is soliciting guests in the hall. ]
【-At this moment, Sarah’s room-】
[The maid Irene is putting on makeup for Sara. Sara is wearing an exquisite violet patterned dress, with her long dark brown hair draped over her shoulders, like an elegant and temperamental princess. "I heard that the earl's youngest son
Very handsome..." Maid Irene was happy for the eldest lady Sarah, but at the same time she was a little envious and envious. She hoped that she could also wear a beautiful long dress and appear at the dinner to be noticed by everyone.]
"I heard that the earl's youngest son is very handsome." The baron's tone remained steady and he used his eyebrow pencil to perfunctorily sweep over "Sarah's" face.
[Sarah pursed her lips and said nothing. She let the maid Irene finish her makeup and picked up the dressing mirror and put it in front of her. She saw herself, delicate cheeks, tall nose bridge and slightly pursed red lips.
, like...a beautiful bird trapped in a cage.]
[However, after tonight, she can get rid of all this...]
The baron holding the dressing mirror on the side raised his eyebrows slightly.
In the corridor outside the room, the exorcists holding brooms but doing nothing looked at each other.
Does Sarah have a way to leave? Or...
Nominally, the Earl's youngest son can also be counted as Sarah's "lover".
["Irene, can I ask you to do me a favor?" Sara looked at the maid Irene, with a hint of pleading in her tone. "Of course, my beautiful fiancée." The maid Irene said with a smile.]
["Can you go to the banquet to see the earl's youngest son for me? Then come back and tell me." The maid Irene hesitated and agreed to the eldest lady's request. She was also curious about whether the nobleman looked like a prince.
hansome.】
The baron left the bedroom and walked downstairs to the hall while Lu Li and others watched.
The obscure ancient cause did not follow the baron away, it still sounded around "Sarah".
[Watching the maid Irene leave the room, Sara in front of the dressing table lifted up her skirt, quickly ran to the door, locked the door, pulled off the sheets under the bed, cut them with scissors, tied them into one long piece, and held these things
Come to the balcony, take advantage of the moonlight, and tie one end to the guardrail.】
[Click—Click, click—]
["Miss? Are you in there?" There was a twisting of the handle and the questioning voice of the maid Irene coming from outside the door. Sarah hurriedly threw the remaining parts off the balcony, looked down at them and watched them fall into the fallen flower bed before running away quickly
After returning home, I tidied my messy hair, calmed my breathing, and opened the door with a smile.]
Everyone outside the door who heard the story pretended not to know anything.
In a sense, they were happy to see this scene.
It would be great if "Sarah" and "Adam" could run away.
[The maid Irene told the eldest lady that the count’s youngest son had appeared at the dinner, and the viscount asked her to bring Sara. “Okay, let’s go now.” With that, Sara left the bedroom first. The maid Irene nodded.
She turned her head and was about to leave when she suddenly noticed the scissors on the bed. She thought of something, opened the quilt and saw the cut cloth. The maid Irene guessed something and came to the balcony and saw the hanging
Bedsheets on the flowerbed.]
["The eldest lady wants to escape!" Maid Irene realized this with horror. Without even thinking about it, she returned to the bedroom to pick up the scissors and wanted to cut off the tied sheets. "Irene?" Maid Irene was halfway through.
While walking, Sarah's doubtful voice came from the corridor. The maid Irene panicked, put down the half-cut sheets, put down the scissors and ran out of the bedroom.]
["Let's go." Sarah said to the servants and Irene, deliberately sending them away. 】
[Maid Irene calmed down her emotions and tried not to be noticed by the eldest lady. She decided to follow the eldest lady closely to prevent her from trying to escape. 】
…
[A lively dinner is being held in the hall, under the clear starry sky, and the temperature is pleasant. People are holding wine glasses, gathering together, waiting for today's hero to appear. 】
In the sky outside the mansion, a white light tore through the darkness, illuminating the entire city and the dark sea. Muffled thunder slowly sounded deep in the clouds.
The first drop of rain fell first and soaked into the moist soil.
The heavy rain then fell in torrents.
The inside and outside of the story are divided into two completely different worlds.
