Garen treaded lightly into the roohtly uneasy

[This room is too quiet]

He could not hear any ood soundproofing, insulating the roo and the wind blowing The whole room was oppressively silent, as if there had been soo who left in an instant

Garen sloalked to the large package at the end of the bed He was suddenly curious about Dale Quicksilver's large crate

[I thought he said he didn't bring much kerosene? Why is the lamp lit in the daytime?]

He reached out to pick up the kerosene lamp

The sound came from the door behind him Startled, Garen turned around to see that the door had closed on its own and had been locked fro

He strode over and tried to turn the doorknob, but it kept clicking without turning He could hear the footsteps of so the corridor

Garen's face sank

[This place is strange indeed…] Suddenly, he recalled the information that Dale Quicksilver had showed him The detective had annotated his key analyses at the end of the material:

[There was one common factor on the bodies of the victims in the mysterious deaths of the three previousthe Bronze Cross E to legend, this E warti to my research, the masters of the castle had obtained this Eo, so it couldn't have been so the hich occurred later]

At this thought, Garen quickly pulled out the black thread around his neck Aon the thread with a letter "P" in the middle It was the Bronze Cross Emblem that he always had on hihter now, like it had just been polished There was no sign of it being timeworn

Garen had a spooky feeling in his heart, as if danger was rapidly approaching, and he subconsciously did not want to leave through the door

He stood by theand looked down This was the second floor, et soh from up here!]

As he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt soer than his could muster, even in his current state

Uncontrollably, Garen fell straight out of the

He rolled over and got up quickly, then turned to look up at the bedroo in the wind, but no one was there He took a look at the castle gates, but they were now locked shut The gates that were ajar earlier were now locked from the outside

Garen resisted the pain fro look at the castle, then turned around to sprint into the distance

He passed the castle fence, but did not show any signs of stopping He headed directly along theto Canoe Town

[From that push earlier, an ordinary person definitely would have been killed by the fall In that position, falling head first, the neck would have snapped If I wasn’t someone trained in martial arts, I would have been crippled even if I survived!] Garen still had a lingering unease Fortunately, he didn't go up to inspect the third-floor bedroo the report on the previous three masters of the castle, there wereout of s to their deaths while cleaning the rooht those were accidents, possibly due to a flaw in the castle design But now it seems that they must have been pushed like me!] Garen felt sure of it because the servants had all fallen head first to their deaths,, the exact posture they would have been in if they were pushed

As the pain frorew, Garen rolled up his sleeves to take a look: they had swollen into a red et treated!" His pace accelerated

Snap!
