"What did you say?"
After eating breakfast, Akimiya Yue gathered the other three people in Rika Indo's room, and then told them what happened to her last night.
After listening, the three people looked at each other in shock. They all believed Qiu Gongyue's words, but this kind of thing was just too bizarre to be believed.
"What were you doing last night? Did you feel anything was wrong?"
"I didn't do anything, just stayed in the room."
Neither Yin Tenglixiang nor Yin Fulin slept. They stayed in their rooms and remained vigilant. Of course, they did not hear any strange movements or anything wrong.
"I snuck out last night."
A weak voice sounded, and the three people's eyes focused on Dinah at the same time.
Dinah rubbed her hands and showed a very embarrassed expression: "I went to the toilet last night, and then I sneaked out for a walk just out of curiosity."
She also inherited the power inherited from the assassins. If she wanted to escape, neither Yin Teng Rika nor Yin Fulin would be able to find her out.
Yin Fulin resisted the intention of giving her a slap and asked, "Did you notice anything strange last night?"
"No, I went out for a walk last night and came back. I didn't find anything strange, but..."
Dinah tapped her chin with her finger: "There's no one outside at night. Isn't it a little strange?"
"Gouzi, what do you say?"
Indo Rika turned to look at the Snow Wolf God lying aside. Compared to Dinah, this dog was more reliable.
Snow Wolf City looked listless and yawned: "Everyone in the castle fell asleep at night."
There's something really wrong with this.
According to Ellie, there are now more than a thousand people living in this castle. It is impossible for everyone to fall asleep on time. Is there no one who stays up late?
Unless someone supervises them to go to bed early, just like school, but Dinah slipped out last night and didn't meet anyone who came out for activities at night.
Indo Rika looked at Akimiya Yue: "Would you like to ask Ellie if she has encountered the same situation as you."
"Being not."
Qiu Gongyue pondered: "If she really encountered this incident, but didn't tell us, it is obvious that she has evil intentions, then we should not alert the snake. If she doesn't know, then there is no point in asking."
Yin Fulin suggested, "How about we stay together tonight?"
Qiu Gongyue did not agree immediately: "Let's wait until tonight. There are a few things that I need you to complete for me."
But when Ellie came to look for the four people, she found that only Qiu Gongyue was here, and the other three people and the dog were nowhere to be seen.
She wondered: "Where are they?"
"They're out wandering around."
Qiu Gongyue replied: "I will go with you today."
Ellie said before that she had found clues about the last heir to the saint, and Qiu Gongyue and others lurked in to investigate with her.
After hearing Qiu Gongyue's explanation, Ellie didn't think much and left with Qiu Gongyue.
As for the other three, they actually went to investigate the relevant situation last night.
Dinah and Yin Tenglixiang went to look for those people killed by Qiu Gongyue last night to see if they were okay, while Yin Fulin went to check the places destroyed by Qiugong Yue.
"Camilla, what's wrong with your neck?"
Dinah and Indo Rika were lucky enough to arrive outside the castle. They didn't wander long before they found a girl who had been killed by Akimiya Yue last night, sitting in the garden with a few companions for a party.
The girl named Camilla had a red mark on her neck, which attracted the attention and concern of her companions.
"I do not know."
Camilla touched her neck with her hand: "It was there when I woke up in the morning. Maybe it was accidentally strangled by the rope."
"Do you want to see a doctor?"
"No need, it doesn't hurt at all."
Yin Tenglixiang and Dinah, who were standing not far away, looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
If Qiu Gongyue killed a real person last night, why is this girl still alive?
If it was a fake, the injury appeared again. It was obviously a cut off head, which turned into a red mark.
The two were puzzled and could only suppress their surprise and start looking for other "victims".
Castle, library.
Ellie brought Qiu Gongyue to the library in the castle, which houses the family collection of Moon God believers, which contains hundreds of thousands of books.
"Grandma, I'm here."
As soon as Ellie entered the door, she smiled and greeted the administrator guarding the door.
The administrator was an old woman in her sixties or seventies. She took off her reading glasses and took a look: "It's you little girl again, go ahead, go ahead, don't forget to go back for dinner."
"Don't worry, I won't forget it."
After saying hello to the administrator, Ellie took Qiu Gongyue into the library.
"I have investigated before and found that Moon God believers have the habit of recording family history, but I have never been able to find the recorded text."
As Ellie walked, she explained to Qiu Gongyue: "After my unremitting efforts, I finally found a family secret history in this library, and I found clues to the last heir to the saint."
While talking, Ellie had already brought Qiu Gongyue to the deepest part of the library, and took out a thick large book from a secret compartment.
"This book has been hidden. If I hadn't been careful, I might not have found it."
This family secret history seems to be very old, with signs of being frequently rummaged through.
After Ellie opened it in front of Qiu Gongyue, she pointed to a certain place in it: "Look."
Qiu Gongyue lowered her head and looked at it. It recorded that a woman named Kelela destroyed the family's most important Silver Moon Sacrifice on the fifteenth day of a certain month one hundred and twenty years ago. She was ordered by the patriarch at the time to be imprisoned in a A place called the Temple of the Moon.
After reading it, Qiu Gongyue asked: "How are you sure that this woman named Clara is the last heir to the saint?"
"look!"
Ellie re-opened the family secret history, which recorded that one hundred and twenty-five years ago, a girl named Clara awakened a certain physique and inherited the mysterious power that had been passed down by the family for many years but could not find an heir. This power seems to be associated with shadows.
If this family secret history is not forged, then this girl named Clara is indeed the last heir to the saint.
"Where is the Temple of the Moon?"
"I don't know. I have read this secret family history several times, and there is only one place in it that mentions the Temple of the Moon. This is also the place I have been investigating."
Ellie raised her hand and pointed to the densely packed bookshelves around her: "What we have to do is find the records about the Moon Temple from these books."
Qiu Gongyue frowned slightly: "When will we find this?"
"Take your time, I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Ellie shrugged, then pointed to the other side of the library: "I'll be responsible for searching from there, and you'll be responsible for this side."
Before Qiu Gongyue could refuse, Ellie turned and walked into the bookshelf.
She had no choice but to go to another bookshelf, pick up a thick book, and flip through it.
Her eyes were as fast as lightning. The moment she turned the page, she had already scanned all the words on it and made sure that there was no record about the Moon Temple.
After flipping through more than a dozen books in a row, Qiu Gongyue felt that her behavior seemed a bit silly. She turned around and saw that Ellie was hiding in the corner, holding a book in her hand, turning page by page, with an expression on her face. Focused and serious.
After searching for food, the two found nothing. Under the urging of the administrator, they had no choice but to leave the library.
On the way back, Qiu Gongyue suddenly said to Ellie: "You go back first, I'm going to take a walk around."
"Then don't run around."
Ellie worriedly warned Qiu Gongyue, but there was actually a sentence she hadn't said yet. If you run around, don't hurt me.
Qiu Gongyue nodded, watched Ellie leave, and then turned back to the library.
When the librarian saw her coming back, he took off his reading glasses: "Aren't you going to eat?"
"Go back later."
Qiu Gongyue smiled at the old lady: "I want to ask you, how long has Ellie been here reading?"
"Her? This child is really hard-working. She comes every day for five or six years."
"thank you."
Qiu Gongyue turned and left the library, feeling something was wrong.
If Ellie comes here every day for five or six years, even if there are hundreds of thousands of books here, she should have read most of them. After all, all she has to do is look for certain records in them. Read the whole book.
But she gave Qiu Gongyue the feeling that she had just arrived.
All the way back to the room, the other three people also came back and brought Qiu Gongyue the situation they investigated.
The dozen girls who were killed by Qiu Gongyue were all still alive and kicking, but there were some strange marks on their bodies, most of which were concentrated on the neck and chest.
And these places are where Qiu Gongyue dealt a fatal blow to them.
Yin Fulin went to check the place damaged by Qiu Gongyue last night and found that it was intact and there were no signs of continued damage.
These two situations left the four people confused and puzzled.
Qiu Gongyue originally thought that she had entered a place similar to a dream or a spiritual world last night, but the traces on these girls overturned her guess.
If what she experienced last night was reality, why did the wall she destroyed return to its original state?
Qiu Gongyue came back from her contemplation and saw that the other three people were also contemplative, so she said: "Let's live together tonight and see if the four of us will enter that strange place together."
The three of them nodded and began to make preparations.
Soon, night fell, and four people and one dog gathered in Qiu Gongyue's room.
In order to pass the time and confuse the pinhole camera in the room, Into Rika specially found a deck of playing cards, and the four of them sat around and played cards.
Soon, the time came to 12 o'clock in the evening, which was already past the time to go to bed last night, and nothing happened.
"Looks like I have to play cards all night tonight."
Indo Rika threw the cards in her hand on the table, then raised her hands and stretched.
"so boring."
Dinah suggested: "How about changing the game."
Yin Tenglixiang discussed with her what game to play next. Yin Fulin turned to look at Qiu Gongyue: "What do you think?"
"Let's talk about it after tonight."
Qiu Gongyue closed her eyes and rubbed the bridge of her nose with her hands. When she opened her eyes again, the three people around her were gone.
