Chapter 1341 - Garden of Seclusion (2) (2/2)

At this thought, Rhode got up from the bed, strolled to the , and looked outside It was still the saht The only difference was that thein the sky earlier had disappeared He used the indistinct shadows in the distance to determine where the lake, land, and forest were He had no idea exactly how long he slept for, but could feel that his mind was very clear and refreshed…

ht, he turned around and sized up his surroundings He didn’t kno long he had slept for or what tiuessed that perhaps there was no such thing as ‘daytime’ here because shi+ra was a native of the Country of Darkness, where eternal night loomed over the nation and the sun was non-existent Perhaps ever since she was born, she didn’t have any ionna head out for a while

With that in mind, Rhode turned around and left the roo seemed perfectly normal The moment he left the room, there was no incident like back then, where Celestina locked hiuest room effortlessly and proceeded to wander around the manor house He also decided to use this tiate shi+ra’s inner world After all, there was no way for hihts of that insane undead puppet That hy he could only try his best to dig up any clues like a detective who lost contact with the outside world and tried to find out the h deduction in a secret room

But it was a shame that after he strolled around half of the otten any particularly helpful clues Everything here was simple and very ordinary On the surface, it looked like a noblewoman’s manor house Be it the furniture, place on those walls, he didn’t find anything abnormal or out of place This left hi since in reality, which detective could solve cases so easily?

Come to think of it… No one has died yet, so there’s no case to begin with!

But it wasn’t like he didn’t find any odd occurrence at all For instance, he searched for a long tin of that noble lady or earlierin their respective roo all the unlocked doors, there was no trace of them As for the locked doors, he knocked on theet any response Rhode, with the belief that ‘there e through the base All he saas a hill of wine barrels, a kitchen, and a roo else was nore presences

Except for the fact that there was no sign of the noble lady androom, his doubt was resolved At thatthe black tea, while theRhode’s arrival, a gentle smile appeared across the face of the noble lady She stood up and smiled at hiood dreaot my maid to look for you and you weren’t in your roo a stroll”

Rhode responded quickly to her words Then, he stared and surveyed the two of the to speak in a casual tone

“By the way, I was looking for both of you, but I didn’t ht”

In response to his words, the noble lady seeentle s her reply, Rhode raised his eyebrows, instinctively sensing that so But before he pondered, shi+ra continued speaking

“And it’s a good thing you didn’t head out, Mr Rhode, since it’s raining now If you had gone for a walk in the garden, you would have been drenched”

“Raining?”

Upon hearing her words, Rhode’s heart skipped a beat He turned around to look outside theinstinctively Sure enough, he heard the sound of falling rain

on?</e when he woke up earlier Otherwise, he would have realized it But now, it was clearly raining, and it was a downpour at that

Why didn’t I notice it before?</ean chatting with shi+ra Of course, he told her sos he did in the past, which the noble lady was interested in hearing Both sides could be said to have had a lively and enjoyable day Not only that, but shi+ra also invited him for dinner, which he eventually accepted

But just like the black tea before, although the food looked appetizing, he had a strange sourness in his sto a bite as if the food had passed its shelf life That hy he had little interest in the food and only took a few bites out of courtesy Meanwhile, shi+ra didn’t seeain, Rhode was sent back to his room by the maid to rest This time, however, he didn’t stay put to have his rest

“It’s about time”

Once Rhode confirmed that the maid left the corridor, he reached out to open the door before tiptoeing out of the rooure out as going on and find clues in shi+ra’swould be for naught He searched for clues and found nothing earlier, so this ti unexpected

After all, the oddest place see sister and maid were before If his memory didn’t fail him, he had knocked on every door in this n of the two of the about hi from this point, perhaps that was the only place that was questionable Either they had another secret roo that he hadn’t found out yet

“Alright, let’s begin then”

Gazing at the maid who turned the corner ahead, Rhode blended into the shadows and followed her stealthily
