Gensokyo Detective, but surrounded by Shura Field

And because she kept stopping her, Alice had already cast a suspicious glance.

"I feel like you're acting strangely today. Could it be that you're hiding something you don't want me to see?"

"No, no, I just don't want to trouble you too much."

"This isn't a trouble at all. It's a good chance for me to practice my doll manipulation skills. Okay, hurry up and get out of the way."

Watching Alice slowly walk up to the second floor.

Marisa finally gave up trying to stop her and stopped thinking.

At this moment, helpless, she could only pray silently in her heart.

"Bai, you must hide well..."

"Don't let Little Alice find you, or she will definitely be super, super angry..."

Chapter 23 Alice: Did I come at the wrong time?

Chu Bai is very flustered right now.

Because he is hiding on the second floor.

And with his hearing, he naturally heard the voices downstairs clearly.

Seeing Alice preparing to go upstairs, Chu Bai was of course groaning inwardly.

As mentioned before, besides being a puppeteer, Alice is also a powerful mage.

So Chu Bai definitely can't escape by jumping out of the window, because the sound of opening the window will definitely be noticed by Alice, and she will know what happened with a quick glance.

So the only places to hide are these in front of him—

A large wardrobe, under the bed, inside the curtains, and a huge storage box.

Click.

Click.

Alice's footsteps are getting closer and closer, and there is no time left for Chu Bai to hesitate.

In the end, his gaze turned towards the direction of "under the bed"...

...

...

"Hmph, the second floor really has Marisa's style."

Alice strolled to the second floor of Marisa's house.

As a bedroom that no outsiders visit, it is even more chaotic than the living room.

Everywhere are randomly placed books and magic props, and there are even many unfolded clothes on the ground.

Although there is no peculiar smell, rather, there is a faint fragrance like Marisa's, this visual effect still has a chaotic feeling.

However, Alice is not flustered at all, rather, she hopes it will be more chaotic here.

Because only in this way can she control the doll army to clean up to her heart's content and exercise her dexterity.

"But is it just my illusion? I always feel like there is another aura in this house, as if someone is watching me..."

Alice tilted her head suspiciously and released her mental power to perceive.

But in terms of mental power, she is obviously not as good as Chu Bai, unable to detect Chu Bai's aura, so naturally she did not find anything unusual.

So she stopped hesitating and just controlled the dolls to start a cleaning activity.

"First, the windows and curtains."

I saw Alice's first step was to open the curtains and open the windows to let the sunlight into the room.

The dolls next to her came over with rags to wipe, and even the curtains were dusted clean.

Normally, the first step in cleaning is to open the windows for ventilation, and hiding "behind the curtains" is definitely courting death.

This time's judgment, Chu Bai obviously successfully avoided the death answer.

However, before he could be happy, Alice immediately shifted her target.

"The windows are cleaned, next..."

"Let's choose to clean under the bed."

"???"

Chu Bai, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly widened his eyes.

Before he could complain in his heart, Alice immediately took three steps and made two steps, and came to the vicinity of the bed.

Then she lowered her head slightly and looked at the slightly dark bottom of the bed.

And the scene that came into view immediately took her by surprise.

"Eh eh eh eh?"

"Ac, actually..."

"Actually there are so many sundries piled up??"

Chu Bai: "Phew..."

Slightly relieved, Chu Bai once again admired his reasoning.

Although just now, he decided to "hide under the bed" to observe the situation.

After all, this is definitely a difficult place to clean for ordinary people.

But soon, he denied his plan.

Because Alice is not an ordinary person, her dolls can easily reach such a small place under the bed.

And with her character, she will definitely not let go of this large dark corner!

The same is true for the wardrobe, careful Little Alice will definitely clean it too.

Only the storage box containing personal items, Alice may be concerned about her identity and not open it.

Therefore, Chu Bai decisively transferred his position, opened the lid of the "storage box" and hid in it.

Facts have proved that his choice was absolutely correct. Because if he was really hiding under the bed, he would have been caught by Alice long ago.

"Sigh, Marisa is really, she even puts so many things under the bed..."

Although there are many sundries, it did not delay for too long.

Because for Alice, problems that can be solved by manpower are not problems.

After all, she alone is a legion, and she has always been very fast at doing things.

"Next is the floor, the table, and the wardrobe..."

"I feel more like Marisa's mother than a good friend..."

Alice, who has few friends, is obviously very good at talking to herself.

This lonely look made Chu Bai feel a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for the fact that it was really inconvenient for him now, he would definitely jump out to say hello immediately, and then take Little Alice to eat hot pot.

...

...

Alice's cleaning operation was very fast.

The three places behind the curtains, under the bed, and in the wardrobe have all been successively lost.

Now the only place in the entire room that can hide people is Marisa's storage box.

And Chu Bai happened to be hiding in the box, holding his breath and waiting for Alice to leave.

"Very good, the cleaning is over, the room looks much cleaner now."

Alice took back the dolls and nodded in satisfaction.

Chu Bai, who was observing the scene through the cracks in the box, also immediately looked forward to it.

Now that it's cleaned, then the next step is to leave, right?

Hurry up and leave, Little Alice, hurry up and leave Marisa's house!

I will treat you to hot pot afterwards!

However, contrary to expectations, Alice did not leave, but walked towards the storage box.

As she walked, she muttered:

"By the way, the last storage box can't be forgotten, let's help Sasha clean it up by the way."

What the hell?

You won't even let go of the storage box?

Chu Bai shrank in the box, and his whole body began to sweat.

No, don't come over!

If you open this box, they will immediately meet eyes and bump into each other.

At that time, I am afraid their friendship will be completely over!

Thump.

Thump.

Chu Bai's heart was beating fast, and now he was like a little white rabbit about to be knocked open by the big bad wolf.

And Alice's footsteps finally stopped in front of the storage box, and slowly stretched out her hand...

"Wait a minute aaaaaaaa!"

At the critical moment!

In the most critical moment!

Marisa's rescue finally came late.

She ran over shouting and hugged the storage box tightly under her.

Alice suddenly showed a surprised expression:

"Eh? Marisa, why are you up here? Didn't you say let you help me taste the cupcakes?"

"I've finished eating! Very fresh, very delicious!"

Marisa said vaguely:

"But I won't bother you to clean this box, I'll do it myself, let's go down quickly."

"Huh?"

Alice raised her eyebrows slightly:

"Didn't you always ask me to clean it? Why are you suddenly resisting this time?"

"This, that..."

"And your attitude just now was also very subtle, there is always a feeling of panic."

Alice showed a faint smile: "Could it be that there is something here that you don't want me to find?"

She was just joking.

After all, this is Marisa's home, and she will definitely take care of the other party's privacy.

If Marisa insists on not letting her clean, then she will leave directly.

But Marisa is already anxious at this time.
