Mystic Holy See

"Going to search for 'mysterious' traces at night?"

Johnny asked the devoured Aldridge in surprise while feeding his pet dogs Bena and Tell.

Aldridge swallowed the smashed Huodu special sausage that he chewed in his mouth, nodded and said, "Yes, are you interested?"

Johnny lowered his head slightly, turned his face to Aldridge, and pursed his lips: "Of course! It's very attractive to search for 'mysterious' traces in the dead of night!"

Aldridge snickered inwardly, he knew that Johnny would be interested in this kind of thing, no, it should be said that he would definitely be interested in things involving 'mysteries'.

Johnny sat down beside Aldridge and asked, "Are you sure he'll be out at night?"

"No, I'm not sure, but now there is too little information, I can only try this possibility."

Johnny hesitated, and said, "To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine any kind of 'mystery' that can be stolen out of nowhere."

Aldrich nodded in agreement, and said, "I think so too, but if it was the Beyonder... how boring would he be? The first time he just carried the sundries, the second time Mrs Trilling stole it and left it in the yard."

"Also... Then this might be a 'mystery' that I don't know about?"

Johnny muttered, then got visibly more excited.

Aldridge sighed, suddenly feeling a little inferior, even simple Johnny was more daring than him... No! I invited him for Johnny's sake, he loves things like this!

After filling his stomach, it was almost evening. Aldridge felt that he didn't need to go too early, so he played a few games of Carter's chess with Johnny. Aldridge felt that it was similar to chess on the earth.

The two did not go out until eight o'clock in the evening. At Aldridge's suggestion, the two also brought a saber collected by Johnny's father, which was in the hands of Johnny, who had better physical fitness and had learned martial arts.

This is the standard equipment of the Wagner Empire. It has a single edge, a long and narrow blade, and a guard on the handle. The overall design is generous and deterrent. However, with the invention and popularization of the musket, it is slowly becoming a supporting role.

Johnny is a small local tyrant. He never thought of going there on foot. As soon as he went out, he hired a carriage. Aldrich also enjoyed the convenience brought by his friends.

Hmm... It's everyone's responsibility to fight the local tyrants and divide the land.

Stepping out of the carriage at the entrance of the villa, Aldrich glanced inside the villa area when Johnny paid the money. Unlike when the sun was shining at noon, the villa was pitch-dark and Aldrich could not help but get goosebumps. .

Fortunately, I called Johnny...

"Aldrich, let's go in!"

Johnny finished paying and said to Aldridge, who was standing beside him.

"Okay."

Aldridge came to his senses, took out the key from his trench coat pocket, and suddenly, he turned around abruptly!

His expression was frightening, and his eyes were suspicious.

Aldridge quickly took the surrounding scenery into his mind, but found nothing. There were no pedestrians around the villa area.

Just now... someone was watching us.

Aldridge thought with a heartbeat, he didn't know why he had such a clear feeling, but the fact was that he did feel it!

Extraordinary's "spirit" is much higher than that of ordinary people, and this kind of sensitivity is normal.

What purpose does 'he' have, is it unintentional? Thief? Or...

"Aldridge? Aldridge?" Johnny exclaimed strangely, "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's okay!" Aldridge turned his head and responded in a trance, trying to control his trembling hands to open the locked door.

Will there be any danger? Do you want Johnny to go back? No...if the owner of that look is really malicious, and 'he' has seen us, it's even more dangerous for Johnny to be left alone.

I have to be vigilant, my ability can protect Johnny in times of crisis.

Aldridge took a deep breath and finally opened the door. He finally turned his head to look behind him again, and walked into the darkness of the villa with Johnny.

"Johnny, let's light these kerosene lamps by the road together."

Aldridge decided that he didn't want to talk about 'him', and it was serious to deal with the darkness in front of him first.

"Huh? Won't this disturb the little guy who may appear?"

Aldridge said: "The Strellings will definitely light up the lights everywhere at night, it doesn't matter."

Johnny raised his eyebrows, yes! Then he lit the kerosene lamp, but his right foot was a little lame, which affected his walking posture and speed, making him slower than Aldrich's speed that he wanted to set a torch to light it into the sun right away.

After lighting the lights all the way, Aldrich opened the main door of the villa again, the two entered the hall, and also lit the kerosene lamps around the hall.

"What do we do next?" Johnny thinks that Aldridge is more experienced than him in this kind of thing, and intends to follow his advice.

Aldridge thought for a while, then said cruelly, "Let's check the whole villa from beginning to end first."

"Okay."

So the two found a portable kerosene lamp from a room next to the gate, lit it, and repeated what Aldrich did at noon.

But this time it didn't work either.

After checking the last corner, Aldridge thought for a while, and together with Johnny, locked the windows of all rooms and halls, then walked out of the villa with two quilts from the servant's room, and locked the door firmly.

"Now we have confirmed that there is no trace of 'mystery' in the villa."

Aldrich took Johnny to a dark corner of the villa's wall, and after throwing the quilt down, he pulled Johnny to sit on the quilt and continued:

"All the places in the villa that are connected to the outside world are also closed. Of course, there is nothing that can't be closed. If there is any movement tonight, there is a high chance that the 'mystery' will come from the outside. What we have to do is to wait and see."

Johnny pulled the quilt over his body and covered it, smashed it and said speechlessly, "This is a different scene from what I imagined."

"Besides, what is waiting for a rabbit?" Johnny felt that the word was awkward, and when he pronounced it in Wagnerian imperial language, his tongue was a bit knotted.

Aldridge was quick to talk, and could only tell Johnny the story of waiting for a while.

"This story tells us that there is no lunch in the sky," Aldridge concluded.

Johnny was silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "So why do we have to wait and see...?"

Aldridge: "......"

Makes sense...

I'm sorry, UU reading www.uukanshu.com I am a pure science student, my language is too poor, I don't know how to explain it, obviously everyone uses it like this, I really smear our great culture...

Johnny doesn't like to sleep, so he usually sleeps late and gets up early, usually only about six hours of sleep. It also means staying up late is difficult for him, and the brain needs rest.

So in the middle of the night, while Aldridge was still fighting the sleepy bugs, Johnny had fallen on Aldridge's lap and slept very comfortably.

Aldridge smiled helplessly, and finally felt a little guilty about pulling his good friend over to suffer, so he carefully pressed the quilt.

Patting his thin, fleshless face, Aldridge was full of energy and abruptly withstood the sleepy bug's attack.

Until the first ray of sunlight the next morning slowly crept up on Aldridge's face, he remained motionless and safe all night.

"Aldrich?" Johnny also opened his eyes and asked sleepily.

Aldrich already had dark circles under his eyes, rubbed his brows and said in a trance, "Nothing happened."

Johnny sat up and stretched.

Aldrich pulled Johnny up, and the two reopened the door of the villa, went in to check, and finally confirmed that there was no movement that night.

"There's nothing to gain tonight, will we come after that? It's not the way to stay like this all the time." Johnny used 'we', and he didn't think it was Aldridge's business at all.

Aldridge nodded and said, "I think it's a little rewarding tonight."

"Um?"

Aldridge gritted his teeth and said:

"I didn't sleep last night, I thought about it a lot."

"I don't think it was done by 'mystery'!"
