Black silhouettes wandered through the cold wind-filled halls and the lightning-thundering manor.
【Brightness and warmth set off the atmosphere of the dinner party.】
The swaying chandelier on the ceiling of the hall made a clattering sound, making the hall light and dark, setting off the strange black silhouettes.
[The guests chatted quietly, occasionally looking at the protagonist of the dinner - a handsome, slightly thin, aristocratic young man. Another protagonist, Sarah, is about to arrive. ]
It was obscure and incomprehensible, and a strange sound like a whisper filled my ears amidst the howling wind.
The baron, Lu Li and others who came over observed the uninvited guests in the hall and the manor.
Each pitch-black silhouette behaves as if they were really human.
[Sarah was as conspicuous as the morning star in the sky, and more and more guests noticed the beautiful figure walking towards the hall. The Viscount, who was talking in a low voice with Count Fran's youngest son, saw his daughter's appearance, "
Everyone, everyone knows the real purpose of this dinner. That is that my daughter Sarah will be engaged to Fran Francis, the youngest son of Earl Fran!"]
"It's a terrible name, it sounds like a stammer."
The baron in maid uniform leaned against the door and muttered softly.
Lu Li and the others were all watching the fun, and this plot had nothing to do with them.
[With the most standard smile on her face in the etiquette class, Sarah came to her father in the way of the guests. A look that made her very uncomfortable was staring at her from the side. Francis's look made her feel like
Look at a prey animal.]
[The Viscount then announced their engagement. Francis put his arms around Sarah's slender waist. Sarah's panic at that moment was covered up by blessings and applause. "Is Adam back?" Looking at the faces of the guests,
Sarah suddenly felt confused.】
["It would be great if the person being held by Francis is herself." Not far away, the maid Irene was longing for her. She didn't notice that the servant Irene was watching him silently. 】
The baron subconsciously turned his head and met Lu Li's gaze.
"Tsk." David tutted lightly and waved his palm on the tip of his nose.
The obscure ancient voice temporarily disappeared and no longer sounded, as if... it was doing something else.
It took a long time before the obscure ancient voice sounded again.
["You two go and have a chat, Francis, I'll leave Sarah to you." The Viscount was as kind as his father. "Okay, Viscount." Francis bowed slightly and took Sarah towards the corner of the banquet. Maid Irene
Subconsciously wanting to follow him, the Viscount who discovered him shouted to stop and let servants like Irene and Lu Li serve the guests.]
[For some reason, a feeling of sadness and uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart, as if something bad was happening. 】
The baron and the exorcists looked at each other, spread out and made sure not to be too far away from each other, walked through the banquet, and poured black drinks into the black wine glasses in the black hands of the black silhouettes.
The obscure ancient sound disappeared temporarily as Sarah and Francis quietly left the banquet.
Perhaps Sarah took Francis to a remote location and killed him.
Laura held the dinner plate with the wine glass and thought in her mind.
Heavy rain and darkness obscured their vision, and soon they could not find Sarah and Frances' location.
The torn lightning in the dark clouds reflected the majestic rainy night like daylight. Standing under the cold rain, my clothes were soaked almost instantly, and the warmth was quickly taken away from my body.
But for the black silhouette, it was a lively dinner party on a cool night in the middle of summer.
The light emitted by the street lamps in the manor struggled weakly in the heavy rain, radiating a hazy light. Unconsciously, Lu Li came to the path near the bushes.
On a rainy night, only blurry outlines can be seen.
But at this moment, an obscure ancient voice sounded in Lu Li's mind.
[Sara wanted to push Francis away, but even the weak Francis' strength was not something Sara could resist. She was controlled by Francis, and her originally handsome face came closer ferociously. 】
Lu Li looked around. The heavy rain blocked his sight, and he couldn't find anything.
[Sarah wanted to shout, but a hand tightly covered her mouth. Her struggle could not be transmitted to the dinner party dozens of meters away. Tears of despair fell down Sara's face. 】
Lu Li frowned. He planned to do something loudly, but instead he coughed several times.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Go back to the hall quickly." Anna's worried voice came from the void.
It's easy to get sick after such heavy rain.
Lu Li said nothing, his dark eyes narrowed slightly and looked around.
Because the obscure ancient sound suddenly changed.
["Cough cough cough..." A cough sounded like thunder not far from the bushes. Francis stopped and looked warily towards the direction of the sound. Sarah's eyes widened and she suddenly bit Francis' hand hard.
Next, a muffled cry of pain rang out, Sara broke free, lifted up her skirt and ran out of the bushes.]
["Damn!" Francis cursed in a low voice, looking down at the bitten and bleeding palm, and reluctantly looking at the figure running away in panic. "Forget it." Francis thought to himself that he would have many opportunities to be "gentle" with his fiancée in the future.
"of.】
After listening to everything silently, Lu Li returned to the hall, blocked Petra, who was holding a dinner plate and acted as a waiter, and whispered: "Francis wants to cheat on Sarah."
Petra's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Wait a minute." He said to Lu Li, walked away temporarily, called Davilola and the Baron, and then asked, "What happened?"
Lu Li briefly described what he heard and said, "He was scared away by my cough in the end."
David looked up and saw that there were no black mist threads or withered claws on the ceiling. He said to Lu Li, "It sounds like you saved Sarah once. Maybe she will be very grateful to you."
"She doesn't know who is coughing," Lu Li replied.
Unless he ran to Sarah and said that he helped her, it would be meaningless.
"Where is she now, in her room?" David asked.
"It should be, let's continue to play good roles." Petra said, holding the tray and walking towards the black silhouettes.
Lu Li and others then dispersed.
…
In the bedroom where no one is, the story moves forward slowly like a gear.
[Sarah staggered back to the bedroom, her hair disheveled, and she even lost one of her shoes.]
【Fortunately, Sarah will be able to get rid of all this soon.】
[She took off her only shoe, walked barefoot to the balcony, and suddenly froze.]
[The sheet she tied to the balcony was cut off, leaving only a small piece hanging on the guardrail.]
[Sara came to the guardrail in a daze, lowered his head and looked down. Boundless fear surrounded Sara, and the figure surrounded by flowers was so familiar. 】
[The bright red liquid spread out under Adam's body, and the vitality disappeared in that body, and those clear eyes like stars no longer had any color. ]
