The Whispering Verses Chapter 2167: The reappearing neighbor

Although the lobby downstairs was still busy, most of the hotel tenants upstairs had returned to their rooms to rest at this time, so the surroundings suddenly became quiet after arriving upstairs.

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. He carefully entered the room sideways, and then saw that Emilia was struggling to use her own weight and gravitational potential to close the stuffed door. A bulging suitcase.

Her suitcase was not that big when she arrived, and she didn't have time to buy much during her stay in Tobesk. It's just because I'm not good at organizing that the box looks like this.

Seeing Shade walk 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 are not safe here."

As he spoke, he turned around and called Luvia in. Although Emilia encountered no problems at this time, Shade and Luvia still believed in their instincts. They both felt that something was wrong around here, and tonight was indeed going too smoothly.

Shad 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 there's something else going on here."

"You can't just leave like this. You must confirm what is going on here, otherwise you 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 is no problem in this room."

He finally said, Luvia pointed outside:

"That'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 is 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 will not go to bed too early. The neighbors on both sides of the room are very welcoming, and the hotel owner Sang Mrs. Mei also takes good care of me. Tobesk is a warm and hospitable city, but the prices are higher than I expected.”

"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 carelessly, and it made a noise~

"Food, neighbors, prices."

Another throw of the dice:

"Neighbors and prices."

"Price in Tobesk City is indeed a big problem, but it is only a social problem at present. The rest are neighbors. Emilia, you just said, neighbors on both sides?"

Shad 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, not knowing what happened to them, but she only knew that the problem seemed serious:

"The neighbors on both sides of the room are very welcoming. Is there a problem?"

"Of course there is a problem. There is indeed a neighbor on your left, but isn't it the end of the corridor on your right?"

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 Goodmans don't live there"

Luvia's finger touched her eyebrows, a purple shimmer appeared on her fingertips, and Emilia's expression suddenly froze. After just a few dozen seconds, the stiff expression turned into shock, and then panic:

"Wait a minute, I remember 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."

Xia De 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 wasn't pretending. Although Shade heard from Miss Carina last time that this kind of relic would stay in the same city for a long enough time before leaving, he really didn't expect that this thing would dare to appear next to 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 bang~

After Shade finished tapping, unexpectedly, a tapping sound with almost the same beat came from the inside of the door. Shade immediately took a step back, pulled out the sword from behind again and looked at the door. And as the silver light attached to the sword became brighter and brighter, the door popped open with a bang.

The room was completely dark with no lights on, and only a small area at the door was illuminated by the gas lamp in the corridor. Mr. Goodman, who looks to be in his forties, Mrs. Goodman, who is plump and wearing an apron, and a boy with glasses and an unknown school uniform that Shade has never seen before. He is wearing a white skirt with only a bright red bow tie on his chest. The girl and the pet dog I saw last time were standing neatly in the small bright area as if they were taking a photo.

Mr. Goodman and Mrs. Goodman stood behind, holding their two children with their left and right arms respectively. All four "people" lowered their heads slightly and looked outside with gloomy expressions. Even Emilia, who was protected by Luvia in the distance, could feel the malice at that moment.

She held Luvia's hand tightly. Thinking of how many times she had met this thing, and even being her neighbor for a week, she just felt like she wanted to go to the familiar bedroom of Shade's house as soon as possible. , wrapped in a quilt and holding a tea cup, not going out for the last week.

Because he had seen too many weird things in the past year, Shade did not panic and just watched 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 in darkness. .

Emilia held her breath, fearing that when the light suddenly turned on, she would see that the hand she was holding was not 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. The elf couldn't even tell whether it was the light from Shade's body spreading to the sword in his hand again, or the sword in his hand. The light from the sword spread to his body.

"Silver Moon!"

Holding the sword with both hands, he charged forward and slashed diagonally forward. The bright arc of the moonlight, probably together with the running in the woods under the moonlit night, will leave this night forever in the heart of the young elf.

The 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 neither Shad nor Luvia felt relaxed:

"Leave here first. This thing is different from last time. It just arrived last time, and this time it doesn't know how many souls it has absorbed."

Shad 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 to move through space was barely possible for Shade of the Seventh Ring. 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 completely arrived yet, it is not something that can be dealt with easily. From the hotel to the street, on the one hand, he was worried about damaging the Three Cats Hotel, but more importantly, Shade was worried that he really couldn't solve it. Going to the street would allow the church to detect the abnormality here as soon as possible.

But the relic would not give him such a chance. Almost at the same time the three of them landed, turbulent darkness poured out from every window of the Three Cats Hotel. The gas lamps on the street flickered twice, and then, just like the lamps in the corridor just now, they went out one after another from a distance.

The light of 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 the first time she faced an out-of-control sage-level relic "alone", which was something she hadn't learned yet in the academy.

"Detective, be careful. The space in this darkness 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. Xia De looked around with his sword, the sense of danger getting stronger and stronger in his heart:

"Take care of yourselves. If you really can't beat 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."

Having said that, 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 Yuewan. This is the reason for Sha De and Something that even Luvia didn’t want to see.
