When Shad returned home that night, the full yellow moon was already hanging in the center of the night sky. Tonight is the full yellow moon phase, which has a deep representative meaning in mysticism.
However, Xia De did not have time to think about the academic significance of Huang Yue. When the carriage sent him to the door of his house, the detective who got off the carriage was wearing a white shirt, a black formal coat on his arm, and his own black tie on the coat:
“Lecia and Dorothy’s personalities are really very different.”
Mia yawned while standing on his shoulder, then raised her head with great interest to look at the yellow moon. The moonlight was reflected in her amber eyes, and the cat blinked and looked up at the second floor of the house.
Although the house was deserted, Shad still felt the warmth of home when he walked up the stairs. He was in a very good mood at the moment. This was certainly not because of what happened in the top box of the King's Opera House in Delarion, but at the end of the opera, when Shad asked Leicia softly about her opinion of Luvia and her opinion of his greed, Her Royal Highness gave a definite answer:
"Dorothy treats Luvia as a friend, and so do I. The relationship between us will certainly change because of your relationship with us, but I still treat her as a friend. Knight, I don't know what method you used to make Luvia not mind your greed, but since she didn't scold, curse, or even duel with Dorothy and me, then I also respect her... ... respect her for being the first to succeed."
As she spoke, she waved her hand to restore the light of the gas lamp in the room. Of course, the five-ring sorceress used an illusion, so the light changes here could not be seen from outside.
When she said this, she didn't look very willing, but she still respected the basic "rules of the game" and got up to call Ajelina in the next room to ask someone to tidy up the sofa.
Sitting on the sofa, Xia De didn't know what to say. He knew his sin, but he was unwilling to let go. Her Royal Highness saw his expression, snorted softly, and showed a mocking expression on her face:
"Be nice to Dorothy. She is much more fragile than I am. As for your marriage, let's not discuss it until I achieve my goal. After all, there are still many days to come. Two people are not as good as one?"
Recalling that conversation, Shad turned on the light in the living room on the second floor, thinking about taking a quick wash and going to rest. After all, he had to go to Tobysk Railway Station tomorrow to welcome the returning priest Augustus.
However, as soon as he entered the living room of Room 1, the cat on his shoulder immediately jumped off. It ran to the door between Room 1 and Room 2, and entered the next room through the gap in the door.
Shade looked at it:
"In addition to scratching the wall next door, Mia also likes to run around on the third floor in the fall. But since last Wednesday, she has never taken the initiative to go to the third floor to play."
I subconsciously walked towards the side bedroom where I had slept for half a year, and then I remembered that I had moved into the master bedroom. I turned and walked towards the master bedroom on the other side, intending to put the formal suit into the closet, but after thinking for a while, I looked upstairs again:
"Suppose Mia was originally interested in the third floor, but now she has suddenly lost interest because the cat has keenly sensed that the boundaries of the house, affected by the narrow room, are gradually getting out of control. Now that the boundaries have disappeared, it is no longer interested in the third floor. Then, why is Mia interested in Room 2 next door and often scratches the wall there?"
There was a light laugh in my ears, and amid the creaking sound of the closet door opening, a whisper sounded:
Who knows
"Can there be two boundaries between life and death in my house?"
Xia De muttered suspiciously. After putting away his clothes, he returned to the living room and passed through the door installed between the two rooms during the renovation. He came to Room 2 on the second floor, which was still empty.
"Anyway, this house does have more than one problem, so it's better to be cautious."
The room was very clean because Miss Carina's maids came to clean it every week. The heavy blackout curtains in the living room were pulled open to both sides, and the bright yellow moonlight shone on the floor and the whitewashed walls of the living room.
Mia was squatting on the bright floor, her tail touching the floor, staring at the wall illuminated by the moon. The cat had its back to the window, and its shadow was reflected on the wall, like a huge alien monster.
"Mia, go to bed."
Shade bent down and clapped his hands. The orange cat looked at the wall with some regret, and then ran towards Shade happily. Obviously, Shade was more attractive to it than anything else here.
The young detective smiled and hugged the cute cat, thinking that it was the beginning of the month again, and maybe he would receive a brand new letter from Miss Mia Gold in the next few days. He did not plan to take a long trip to the remote coastal town where Miss Gold's family lived in winter, but he could plan a spring trip in advance.
Holding the cat that was constantly squirming to find a more comfortable position, he walked towards the door between the two rooms, but suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly, and looked through the window at the unusually bright yellow moon in the night sky. In March, the yellow moon represents "guidance", so the yellow moon at full moon is the brightest moon.
"Speaking of which, strange things have happened in every floor and every room of this house. When I first took over this house, only Room 1 on the second floor was open, and Room 2 on the second floor was locked and prohibited from entering. What happened in Room 2 on the second floor was..."
Xia De carried Mia back to Room 1, recalling the terrible accidents that had happened in his home. He turned around and grabbed the door handle to close the door, but blinked again.
The echo of blood took effect, and under the bright moonlight, large patches of blood-red halos piled up together. Although it had been seventy years and had undergone several cleanups, faint traces could still be seen.
Mass suicide.
"Yes, mass suicide (Chapter 43)."
Xia De nodded, looked at the blood light and hesitated for a moment, then took out the Night Watcher and walked around Room 2 with it. After confirming that there were no abnormal reactions, he closed the door in a good mood:
"I wonder what souvenirs Father Augustus will bring us... Although I can go to Middlesbrough to buy them anytime, it's a different feeling to receive gifts and to buy them myself."
The empty Room 2 on the second floor returned to its tranquility. The yellow moonlight shone on the wall that Mia had just looked at. In the center of the white wall, the circular mark was like the moon in the night sky, that confused, yellow moon.
