Although the lobby downstairs was still busy, most of the hotel tenants upstairs had returned to their rooms to rest at this time, so when they came upstairs, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Emilia lived on the third floor. When Shade and Luvia entered the corridor, they saw the door of her room open. Shade made a gesture to Luvia and asked her to wait at the door, while he cautiously
He entered the room sideways and saw that Emilia was struggling to use her own weight and gravitational potential to close the bulging suitcase.
When she came, her suitcase wasn't that big, and she didn't have time to buy too many things while she was in Tobesk. It was just because she wasn't good at organizing it that it ended up like this.
Seeing Shade walking in, her face turned red and she immediately stood up to block the box behind her:
"Xia De, why are you up here?"
"Luvia and I are worried that you won't be safe here."
As he spoke, he turned around and called Luvia in. Although Emilia didn't encounter any problems at this time, Shade and Luvia still believed in their instincts. They both felt that something was wrong around here, and indeed tonight
It went so smoothly.
Shade even thought of what Iluna once said:
"Iluna's team came to arrest a guy who was selling illegal potions when Emilia and you three were staying at the hotel, but the guy disappeared in the hotel. This matter has always been a mystery. I suspect that here
There is something else."
"We can't just leave like this. We must confirm what is going on here, otherwise we will bring danger into the detective's home."
As Luvia said, the silver moonlight lit up on Shade's palm, and then he walked around the room, tapping the walls, floors, furniture and even the bottom of the bed with his hands.
"There's nothing wrong with this room."
He finally said, and Luvia pointed outside:
"Then there's the corridor."
The three of them came to the corridor together. Luvia and Emilia stood at the door, the former blocking the latter. Shade continued to tap on the corridor wall with his hand and asked:
"Emilia, have you encountered anything wrong during the week you have lived here?"
The elf girl immediately shook her head:
"There's nothing wrong. The food here is very good, and there are maids who clean the room on time. Although it is sometimes noisy at night, I don't go to bed too early. The neighbors on both sides of the room are very welcoming, and the owner of the hotel, Mrs. Sangmei, also
They took good care of me. Tobesk is a warm and hospitable city, but prices are a little higher than I thought."
"Soothsayer~"
The purple-eyed girl drew a card again, frowned when she saw the cards and asked:
"There is something wrong with what Emilia said just now. Food, servants, noisy at night, neighbors, Mrs. Sangmei, prices. Which of these six keywords is wrong?"
The dice was thrown down casually, and it made a clang~
"Food, neighbors, prices."
Another throw of the dice:
"Neighbors and Prices."
"The price of goods in Tobesk City is indeed a big problem, but it is only a social problem at the moment. The rest are the neighbors. Emilia, you just said, the neighbors on both sides?"
Shade frowned and looked back at her. Luvia's pupils also dilated slightly, and she also looked at the elf girl who was being protected behind him:
"Emilia, repeat the description of the neighbor."
The elf girl said timidly. She didn't know what was wrong with them. She only knew that the problem seemed serious:
"The neighbors on both sides of the room are very welcoming. Any questions?"
"Of course there is a problem. You do have neighbors on your left, but isn't your right at the end of the corridor?"
Luvia said, Emilia blinked blankly, looked across Luvia's body to where Shade was raising his hand, and looked at the door that appeared there:
"Is it the end of the corridor? But the Goodman family doesn't live there"
Luvia's finger touched her eyebrows, and a purple shimmer appeared on her fingertips. Emilia's expression suddenly froze. After just a few dozen seconds, the stiff expression turned into shock, and then
Turned into panic:
"Wait a minute, I remember that on the day we checked in, I specially chose the room at the end to prevent anyone from next door from disturbing me. This is, this is"
"Detective, she understands."
"When I made friends with a seventeen-year-old girl, I didn't expect that I would encounter the same thing as her."
Shade looked at the door on the wall that seemed to be "squeezed" out of the space just now. He sighed helplessly, made a ferocious expression on his face, raised his hand and patted it hard a few times:
"Mr. Goodman, Mrs. Goodman, come out!"
There was full anger in his voice, and he was not pretending. Although Shade heard from Miss Carina last time that this kind of relic would stay in the same city long enough before leaving, but
He really didn't expect that this thing would dare to appear next to the people around him.
Bang bang bang~ The door panel slapped quite hard, but since this was the end of the corridor, Luvia had already used the Silence Charm, so there was no need to worry about disturbing other people.
Bang bang bang~
After Shade finished knocking, he didn't expect that a tapping sound with almost the same beat came from the inside of the door. Shade immediately took a step back, pulled out the long sword from behind again and looked at the door. And with the sword attached to it,
The silver light became brighter and brighter, and the door popped open with a bang.
The room was completely dark with no lights on. Only a small area at the door was illuminated by the gas lamp in the corridor. Mr. Goodman, who looked to be in his forties, and Mrs. Goodman, who was plump and wearing an apron, were not seen by Shade.
There was a boy wearing glasses and an unknown school uniform, a girl in a white dress with only a bright red bow tie on her chest, and the pet dog I saw last time, standing there neatly as if taking a photo.
A small area of light.
Mr. Goodman and Mrs. Goodman stood behind, reaching out their left and right arms to hold the two children respectively. All four "people" lowered their heads slightly and looked outside with gloomy expressions. At that moment of malice, even those who were being killed in the distance were
Emilia, who was guarding Luvia behind her, could feel it.
She held Luvia's hand tightly, thinking that she had met this thing many times, and even had this thing as a neighbor for a week in a row, she just felt that she wanted to go to the familiar bedroom of Shade's house as soon as possible, wrapped in
Don't go out for the last week with a tea cup in hand.
Because he had seen too many strange things in the past year, Shade did not panic and just looked at them cautiously. He did not rush into the room recklessly, but looked at the pale-faced family.
Suddenly, the gas lamp in the corridor flashed twice quickly. After a soft "bang~" sound, the gas lamps were extinguished one by one from the far end of the corridor towards the end, only to submerge all three people in the corridor into darkness.
Emilia held her breath, fearing that when the light suddenly turned on, she would see that she was not holding the hand of the purple-eyed fortune teller, but the hand of some other weird thing. Fortunately, at least this time she didn't worry too much.
, the silver light appeared softly in the darkness, and the elf couldn't even tell whether it was the light from Shade's body that spread to the sword in his hand again, or the light from the sword in his hand that spread to his
On the body.
"Silver Moon!"
Holding the sword with both hands, he charged forward and slashed diagonally forward. The bright arc of the moonlight, together with the running in the woods under the moonlit night just now, will probably leave this night in the heart of the young elf forever.
This sword penetrated the darkness and struck into the interior of the room that should not exist. There was a pop sound like a bubble bursting. The four people and one dog standing at the door disappeared, but the room with the door open was still there, so no matter
Neither Shade nor Luvia felt relaxed because of this:
"Leave here first. This thing is different from last time. It just arrived last time, and this time it has absorbed many souls."
Shade took two steps back and pressed on the shoulders of Luvia and Emilia respectively. Then the three of them appeared out of thin air in the night sky outside the hotel, and landed on the street as lightly as feathers. Taking the two of them with them.
Moving through space together was barely possible for Shade of the Seventh Ring, and he was now very glad that Dorothy did not come with him tonight.
[Friendly Neighbor] is a genuine sage-level relic. Even though it has not yet completely arrived, it is not easy to deal with. From the hotel to the street, on the one hand, I am worried about affecting the Three Cats Hotel, but more importantly
Shade was worried that he really couldn't solve it. Going to the street would make the church aware of the abnormality here as soon as possible.
But the relic would not give him such a chance. Almost at the same time that the three of them landed, turbulent darkness poured out from all the windows of the Three Cats Hotel. The gas lights on the street flickered twice together, and then it was like the corridor just now.
Like the lamps, one after another went out in the distance.
The light from the moon and the stars disappeared at some point. Although the light from Shade and the sword could barely illuminate the ground, the invisible darkness around them still made Emilia terrified.
Although she was bold and dared to run away from school many times, on the one hand, there were no problems in the Randall Valley at that time, and on the other hand, a unicorn whose combat power was comparable to that of a dragon was always by her side. This was her first time "
Facing an out-of-control sage-level relic "alone" was something she hadn't learned yet in the academy.
"Detective, be careful. The space where this darkness is located is different from reality. That thing does have space capabilities."
Luvia's eyes seemed to light up purple in the darkness, but no one had time to pay attention to this at this time. Shade looked around with his sword, and the sense of danger became stronger and stronger in his heart:
"Take care of yourselves. If you really can't defeat me, I will turn into a dragon again and fly away with you. Although [Friendly Neighbor] is weird and powerful, it also has the disadvantage of a limited range of influence."
Even so, once he really turns into a dragon in Tobesk, as long as the church is not stupid, it will be easy to connect the dragon here with the "Moonlight Dragon" in Moon Bay. This is the reason for Shade and Luvia
