Everyone has seen Hathaway's safe note, but it can't dispel people's worries. Miss Mihail tried her best not to think about the situation she was facing now, but in fact the worries in her heart had completely overwhelmed her.
The beautiful eyes turned to the bored lying cat again, and Chocolate also glanced at the human woman. The moment the eyes met, a sense of fear from the bottom of my heart surged into the blond girl's heart, she immediately turned her head to the side, breathing heavily unconsciously.
"Britney, what's wrong with you?"
Miss Lawrence noticed her strangeness at once.
"No, it's okay, I think I'm too worried..."
Miss Michel would not tell the story of being frightened by a cat. She attributed the situation just now to mental problems caused by just waking up.
Sighing, she leaned on the soft pillow, letting her long golden hair hang loosely behind her.
"God, what happened to this year's trip, and what terrible things will we encounter?"
"Britney, don't be so pessimistic. Everything will be fine with Mr. Williams."
Miss Lawrence had never touched the post-transcendent world before today, and in her shallow knowledge, Jenkins was the most powerful transcendent. Of course, this is not wrong in some respects.
"You trust Jenkins a lot?"
asked Mademoiselle Michael, looking her in the eyes.
"Yes."
Miss Lawrence nodded.
They looked again at the cat Jenkins had left behind, and realized that as reliable as that man was, he wasn't here right now. Thinking of this, the two women felt chills on the back of their necks. Miss Lawrence immediately stood up and closed all the curtains, completely blocking the dark blizzard outside.
"Meow~"
Chocolate let out a lazy cry, and the milky voice dispelled the weird atmosphere in the room. Miss Lawrence sat back on the chair beside the bed, subconsciously getting closer to the position where Chocolate lay on her stomach.
The group of people who went to the basement did not return until eleven o'clock, and the two women in the room did not dare to fall asleep alone until they saw Jenkins. During this period, the maid who regained the right to move freely made some supper for the two of them. The warm food can effectively dispel the tension.
It can be seen that the servants in the villa are also very nervous. The maid told Miss Lawrence that everyone is now gathering in the restaurant on the first floor to wait for news. The basement hadn't heard a sound for a long time, but Jenkins had ordered them not to approach it at random, so no one knew what the group was doing inside.
The wall clock on the wall of the room was ticking, and the time soon came to half past eleven. Chocolate has closed his eyes for a long time, and his even breathing shows that he is sleeping soundly.
Miss Mihail was very envious of the state of the cat, and she also wanted to close her eyes and sleep in a dream until dawn, but this was impossible for her now.
"When will Jenkins come back, isn't the basement small?"
She was thinking in her heart, and just about to say it, she saw the terrified expression on Miss Lawrence's face.
The lady on the chair pointed to the door of the room. After a few seconds of confusion, Miss Michel realized that she could see a person standing outside the door from the shadow of the gap under the door.
It could never have been the servant, because there was no reason for the servant to stand so long without knocking. And in this temporarily isolated villa, the only person who could do this was the murderer.
The two girls looked at each other, and they both saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Of course, the door of the room is not locked, which means that people outside the door can push the door in at any time. In a panic, Miss Lawrence picked up the fruit knife on the bedside table, which was the only thing they could defend themselves.
Miss Michael pointed to the wardrobe in the corner, and Miss Lawrence immediately understood. They leaned together to stare at the door, and moved carefully towards that side. Miss Michel realized that the chocolate was still wet after walking halfway. She bit her lip and ran to the bed quickly to pick up the cat, but the chocolate He suddenly opened his eyes to avoid her hand, and then got into the open wardrobe faster than the two women.
Soon, all three creatures in the room hid in the cabinet. Miss Michael and Miss Lawrence hugged each other and crouched in the corner of the closet, covering themselves with the clothes hanging inside. After breathing heavily for half a minute, they heard a "squeak~", the door was pushed open, and heavy footsteps quickly entered the room.
Both of them began to tremble, and couldn't help imagining what would happen after they were discovered. They were very worried that the cat next to them would suddenly let out their positions with a meow, but Chocolate was more clever than they imagined.
The cat's eyes seemed to glow in the dark environment, and the cat's piercing eyes looked at the two extremely frightened human women. Probably encouraged by the cat's courage, or maybe the fruit knife in her hand gave her courage, Miss Lawrence stretched her head forward with all her strength, and looked out through the crack of the wardrobe door.
She wished to know who it was that walked through the door.
The lighting in the room is candles and oil lamps, so the lighting conditions are actually very poor. Under the dim light, Miss Lawrence saw a tall figure over 7 feet (approximately 2.1336m) checking the situation behind the curtain.
She could only see the darkness of the figure's back, which was the light and shadow caused by the position. But new questions arose—
"Is there anyone this tall in this villa?"
Just as he was thinking, the figure turned around and walked into the illuminated area with heavy steps. The pupils of the eyes in the closet door immediately shrank with fear, and the eyelashes rose to an astonishing position due to the widening of the eyes.
I saw that the person's face was covered with dense blisters, and the place where the eyes should have been narrowed into a gap. Its skin is grey-green, and the palms are filled with sharp claws. He has no hair, but wears the uniform of a manservant in the villa. Miss Lawrence didn't know what it was, but it was certainly not human.
She put her hand over her mouth to prevent the cry of terror, and with tears in her eyes she retreated into a corner and embraced Mademoiselle Michael. It is absolutely impossible to observe that monster again. If they are discovered, the two of them will be torn to pieces.
Miss Michael didn't know what her companion saw, but the uncontrollable fear deeply infected her. She knew that there must be an extremely dangerous person outside, and she even felt an extremely cold wind blowing in from the closet door.
If Jenkins is here, he will understand that this is by no means an illusion, the population of ghouls has the talent of [Yinfeng (red fighting)].
PS: When you read this chapter, I am probably defending my graduation thesis. If all goes well, I'll add an update early next month, and that's it.
