Chapter 12 Happy Circus 11
1305 Words
Each voice seemed to carry a hint of teasing.
"..."
The atmosphere should be very scary, but Joan, who was standing in the corner, blinked and couldn't help muttering.
"Well, do you think that Mary's voice sounds so wrong when she calls Lucius?"
"Why does it feel a little sticky?"
Mary's frightened expression on the opposite side was instantly transformed into embarrassment by what Joan said.
Mary waved her hands quickly and shook her head frantically: "No, no, no, it's not me who's knocking on the door outside."
"What a sin! I'm almost 56 this year, and my grandson is almost six years old. How can I talk to Mr. Lucius like this?"
Li Qiumei was so anxious that she even spoke in dialect.
The air in the two rooms froze strangely at this moment.
The remaining few people: "..."
Lucius, who was innocently affected: "..."
He moved away from Joan without leaving a trace.
It was Bella who broke the weird atmosphere. She suppressed the urge to laugh and whispered, "Ah, that thing, the knocking sound seems to have stopped."
Lucia also nodded, pursing her lips and saying nothing.
Sorry, she was really afraid that she would laugh out loud as soon as she opened her mouth.
Very loud.
Not to mention Ben, but he didn't dare to laugh, his face was red from trying to hold back his laughter.
Joan finally understood the ambiguity of what he had just said under the strange gazes of everyone. He scratched his head awkwardly and quickly apologized to Mary in a low voice.
In this way, the fear of the knocking sound was swept away.
The sound outside the door seemed to have sensed the atmosphere in the room and disappeared silently.
Lucia controlled the corners of her mouth and took out her mobile phone to check the time: "It's 12:10 now."
"According to the time, the thing outside the door should have started knocking on the door ten minutes ago."
Considering what Jack said before he left, it is not difficult to guess why he warned not to go out after 12 o'clock.
"As long as we don't open the door to that thing outside, we should be safe."
Lucius pressed the throbbing veins on his forehead and tried to maintain a gentle expression: "In this case, breaking the mirror is a good thing."
After all, if Lucia didn't break the mirror, it's hard to say whether they would open the door when they heard the sound.
Of course, Lucius would not open the door.
After all, the tone of the thing outside that imitated Mary really made people misunderstand.
The six people discussed for a while before returning to their rooms.
Before leaving, Lucius carefully spread out the largest towel in the bathroom to cover the hole in the wall.
Lucia looked at the hole that was covered and rubbed her eyebrows in distress.
How to take a shower?
In the end, she could only wipe the blood off her body and returned to the room.
The room was a standard room with two beds. Except for the strong musty smell and the quilt that looked a little old, it was acceptable.
Maybe because of her old age and excessive blood loss during the day, Mary had fallen asleep on the other bed.
Bella was still sitting by the bed with her eyes open. When she saw Lucia coming out, she squinted her eyes and patted the empty space next to her, motioning Lucia to come over.
Lucia laughed, walked up to her and touched her head, "Okay, go to bed."
Bella nodded.
After the knock on the door, nothing strange happened at night.
Soon, the ringtone Lucia set before going to bed rang.
She rubbed her eyes irritably, reached out to take the phone and turned off the ringtone.
Bella was still a little dazed, and when she saw Lucia getting out of bed, she struggled to sit up.
When Lucia came out after wiping her face, she saw Bella sitting on the bed, squinting her eyes and dozing off.
She smiled and ignored Bella, walked straight to the window and opened the curtains a little.
The dolls on the top of the circus tent not far away were still spinning, as if the power switch had never stopped.
Lucia looked at it for a while, lowered her eyes and looked at her phone. It was six in the morning.
It was still an hour before the seven o'clock Jack said last night.
Lucia had a new doubt, could the circus performance start in the daytime?
Will there really be so many shows?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Mary and Bella, who had just woken up, were startled and looked at Lucia.
Lucia went over and opened the door.
After all, it was already daybreak, and according to Jack's plan to gather at 7 o'clock, the hotel must be safe now.
As Lucia opened the door, a hunched old woman appeared outside. Her hair was white, and the wrinkles on her face looked like dried bark, and she looked very old.
But strangely, Lucia didn't feel any threat from her.
This feeling was very strange. Since entering this game, whether it was the host Joel, the bloodletting maniac Stephen, or that Dania, or even Jack.
They all gave Lucia a sense of life being threatened.
But the old woman in front of her seemed to be just a simple NPC, without any attacking power.
She looked at Lucia and opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Lucia's eyebrows jumped. There was no tongue in the mouth of this old woman.
To be precise, there was, but it had been cut off from the root of her tongue, so she couldn't speak.
The old woman pointed to the room of Lucius and the other two next to her, and handed the two plates in her right hand to Lucia.
Lucia took it, and saw very ordinary steamed buns and white porridge, not as bloody as she imagined.
Seeing Lucia take the plate, the old woman nodded, turned around and walked downstairs tremblingly.
Looking at her hunched back, Lucia didn't know what happened, her eyes followed her until she couldn't see her anymore.
Bella was worried, came over and patted Lucia on the back, and asked with concern: "Lucia, what's wrong with you?"
She looked at Lucia standing at the door blankly, thinking something had happened.
Lucia came back to her senses, shook her head, handed one of the two plates in her hand to Bella, and then walked to the room where Lucius and the other two lived with the other plate.
She knocked on the door, and soon, Joan opened the door.
Joan looked at the food tray in Lucia's hand and was very excited: "Lucius, there's food!"
Lucia looked up and saw Lucius, who was about to put on his glasses, looking towards the door.
He saw Lucia, and the eyes that were not blocked by the lenses slightly curved, and he smiled at her gently.
Lucia felt that there was something wrong with his eyes, but when Lucius put on his glasses, the strange feeling disappeared.
She nodded to Lucius not far away and walked back.
When passing the stairs, Lucia felt a sudden burn on her waist.
She stopped, stood by the stairs, and took out the hot box in her pocket.
It was the pearl earrings found in the dressing room.
【Ding】
【Detected that there is a hidden plot NPC within 100 meters, the current decryption density is 25%】
Lucia lowered her head and looked through the gap in the stairwell to the first floor, the white-haired old woman who was bent over mopping the floor.
It was her.
