Two hundred and sixty-two. The death of Lola

The black object on the dinner plate shows no outline of the food.

Laura's hesitation caused the plot to get stuck, and the shadow that revised the story came. Black mist rolled and filled the ceiling, and twisted black claws descended.

The counter rang rapidly, and a low murmur echoed in my ears.

The trembling and white palms reached for the pastry, picked it up, and slowly put it into the mouth - as slowly as a withered claw descended.

Laura's face was filled with the emotion of despair, her lips were trembling, and she looked towards others for help.

The Baron pretended to be calm, but there was panic in the depths of his narrow eyes. Vincent looked at him with pity, and Petra frowned, looking for a way to save her.

He finally looked at the calm Lu Li, as if nothing could make this man with devilish hair and eyes show his emotions.

Withered claws were about to come, and Laura had to bite off the "pastry", which was cold, tasteless, and couldn't taste a trace of the taste that food should have.

The withered claws in the fog, following the falling black line, began to retract.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded: "Why don't you eat before your vertigo is cured?"

Laura instantly grabbed the rope thrown by Lu Li, seized the opportunity and said quickly: "Not yet - ugh -"

He arched his body and roughly pushed his fingers into his throat to induce vomiting - although he neither chewed nor swallowed the "pastry".

Black crumbs of "pastry" were spat out from his mouth. Amidst the sound of vomiting, the remains of food from breakfast fell on the carpet in the corridor.

The paused obscure ancient voice slowly sounded.

["Are you eating before your vertigo is gone?" the servant Lu Li asked confused. "Not yet." After taking a big bite, Laura just remembered that the delicious taste of the pastry overflowed in her mouth, but Laura had to spit it out.

Food, he doesn’t want to throw up all day again.]

["That's disgusting... you guys share it among yourselves." Maid Irene looked at Laura with disgust, threw the plate to the servant Lu Li, and returned to the bedroom. ]

"It's disgusting...you can divide it among yourselves."

The smell of digested food, stomach acid, and the sound of vomiting made the Baron want to cover her nose. She quickly finished her lines and ran into the bedroom.

Laura, who was constantly vomiting, raised her head and glanced at Lu Li gratefully with her red eyes full of tears. She wanted to say something, but her stomach cramps made him start to vomit again.

The housekeeper called the maid who was observing from a distance to clean up the vomit and followed the baron back to the bedroom.

["What's wrong?" Sara asked after hearing the movement outside the door. The maid Irene looked disgusted and told the eldest lady about Laura vomiting. "Was he the only one who took it..." Sara whispered, the powder

She made it using the alchemy recorded in ancient books, and it has already taken effect. But the death of only one person is different from her plan... Sarah raised her head and said to the maid Irene: "Irene, help me remove the tree.

"What do you want for me, Miss?" the maid Irene asked. "...those books, bring back the books on the bookshelf."]

[Maid Irene nodded incomprehensively, and when she was about to leave, Sara stopped her: "Wait a minute, Laura doesn't need to go, he is still sick now."]

["Miss, you are so kind to your servants." Maid Eileen smiled and said sincerely. 】

"Miss, you are so kind to your servants..." the baron, who had already realized something, said involuntarily.

This sentence appears in reality with a cruel irony.

In the corridor, Laura, who had just suppressed the nausea in her heart and stood upright, froze.

The baron walked out of the bedroom, avoiding Laura's gaze and Lu Li and others describing "Sarah"'s words.

Petra's brows did not relax, and she avoided danger for Laura and said: "You go ahead, I... will stay and look after Laura."

["You go ahead, I'll stay and take care of Laura." The servant Petra looked at Laura with concern, and the maid Irene was a little dissatisfied: "The eldest lady is very anxious. Which is more important, her book or the illness of a servant, go to work quickly.

”]

[The attitude of Maid Irene made the servant Petra a little dissatisfied: "Do you really think so? Laura and we have lived in the manor for five years." "But we are servants and must meet all the master's requirements!" Maid Ai

Lin said loudly.]

[The two servants were about to quarrel. Worried about disturbing the eldest lady, the servant Laura quickly stopped the two quarreling people: "Don't worry, don't you think I have no problem now? Come on, Petra. It's important to help the eldest lady move the books. I just happened to

The floor needs to be swept clean.”]

["Okay then." Petra said helplessly, glanced at the maid Irene dissatisfied, and headed to the tree house in the back garden. 】

The black mist on the ceiling rose again. Under everyone's gaze, in a brief silence, Laura opened her mouth and pronounced her death sentence.

"Don't worry, don't you think I have no problem now? Petra, let's go quickly. It's important to help the eldest lady move the books, and I just have to clean the floor. After I die, go to the Roland Detective Agency and tell him about my death."

The last sentence is not part of the plot, and the claw tips slowly extending out of the black mist indicate silently.

But Laura ignored it and looked at everyone calmly.

"Okay." Petra nodded solemnly, turned and walked away.

"Keep walking and don't look back." Vincent walked behind everyone and whispered to them.

Click——

The sound of the door opening and closing.

"The god above the gray mist, your pious servant..."

Wow——

Laura's voice of resistance came from the bedroom behind her.

and the sound that stopped suddenly.

The only sound in the dead corridor was the sound of wind, thunder, and rain.



"We can't change what happened."

In the garden far enough away from the shadow of the thread, Petra spoke.

The umbrella I held blocked most of the rain, but some rain and coolness were still swept under the umbrella by the wind.

All the plots told by the obscure ancient voices will become facts. This is irreversible. They can only change what happened after the facts, not the facts themselves.

For example, when the obscure ancient voice ordered Petra to slit his throat with a knife, he had to do it. No one could stop it. Even if it was temporarily stopped, the shadow of the thread would continue to arrange this behavior-but later

He can try to save himself.

This may be why David simply died.

David, who could hear obscure ancient sounds, knew the danger he was facing, but he could do nothing. He could only feel a moment of despair and was killed by "Sara".

There are others who can't do anything either.

They arrived at the back garden, where the dark bookshelves had been waiting in the open space for a long time.

After taking away all the black books, Lu Li and others returned to the mansion.

[The servants followed Sarah’s instructions and piled the books next to the desk.]

Walk through the corridor and enter the bedroom where "Sarah" is located.

They didn't see Lola being transformed into a "story character."
