Anchor, your box lunch is here

Chapter 26 Riddle Manor

In the living room, Bellamy walked in from the garden with newly picked red roses. The judge saw her and stared at her sternly, "It's already this time, why are you still thinking about arranging flowers?"

Bellamy lowered her head, and replied timidly, "Mr. Arthur ordered it. He said that Master Angelet likes red roses, so he specially asked me to pick a bouquet in the morning."

The judge could not help but frown as the silent servant who always followed Angelet appeared in his mind.At that moment Arthur came down from the stairs, holding the blood-stained sheet.

"What are you doing? How can things at the murder scene be destroyed at will, don't you even understand basic common sense?"

"Your Excellency, it is you who said that the manor cannot be left. For such a long time, I cannot let the young master lie on a dirty bed, and from yesterday to now, you have never set foot in the young master's room. It must have been a long time ago. Think about how to report to Her Majesty the Queen."

The judge was speechless. Arthur handed the sheets to Bellamy, and then took the red rose from Bellamy. He fiddled with the petals still stained with dew, and walked towards Chaoan.

The place where Chao An was standing happened to be in a corner, Arthur stood in front of him, his tall figure blocked the corner, he bent down and leaned into Chao An's ear, and whispered, "Master, this is for you, do you like it?" ?”

Chao An "..."

At this time, Chao An really wasn't thinking about any romantic matters in his mind. The only thing he thought about was that from the judge's point of view, Arthur must have been a puddle of air, and he always felt that he was not very smart.

……

After the Judge, the Baron was next to appear in the drawing room.

The baron's cheeks were sunken, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he hadn't slept for a few days, but he walked steadily, and habitually looked down at others like a person who had been in a high position for a long time.

After entering the living room, the baron went straight to the first seat on the dining table and sat down, which originally belonged to Chaoan. After sitting down, he turned to Arthur and asked in a deep voice, "Is breakfast ready? Bring it up, and then give it to me." a newspaper."

"Monsieur Baron, there is no paper today, and the newsboy has not delivered it."

"Let's have breakfast then."

"OK, just a second."

Arthur and Bellamy left to serve breakfast, and after they had left, Kathy appeared in a gorgeous dress, heavily powdered face and a string of dusty gemstones around her neck The necklace is like a lady about to attend a grand banquet.

After last night, she has already figured it out. Angelet is dead, and she will soon inherit a large amount of inheritance, which is enough for her to be among the top ladies, so she had better not be in other lose face in front of people.

Kathy sat on the right hand side of the baron. As soon as she took her seat, the Chesters appeared. Chester looked as usual, even more energetic, but Elsa looked old, she seemed very Hungry, the green light in the eyes looking at the dining table, the throat is still swallowing saliva.

"Where's the maid? Why haven't you prepared breakfast yet?!" Elsa has always had a dislike for Bellamy, especially when she was hungry.

Fortunately, Arthur and Bellamy came back in time. As soon as Bellamy put the breakfast in front of Ersa, Ersa grabbed a sandwich and stuffed it into her mouth. exaggerated adjective.

Others were taken aback when they saw this scene, and Kathy asked with some uncertainty, "Ersa, are you okay?"

Ersa didn't have time to reply to her, her mouth was full of food, and the plate just served was empty. After Arthur saw this scene, he asked Bellamy to fetch some more sandwiches.

Seeing this scene, the judge felt that it affected his appetite, so he put down the knife and fork in his hand, turned to Chester and asked, "Chester, Ersa, this is..."

"Don't worry, she's just starving. She didn't digest well a few days ago, and she's probably recovered now." Chester's expression was calm. He sat next to Ersa, holding a knife and fork in his hand, moving A piece of fried egg was cut open, in sharp contrast to Ersa's eager behavior.

After all, Chester was an apprentice doctor, and everyone had no doubts about his words, and they accepted Ersa's abnormality a lot in their hearts.

The judge noticed a gold ring appeared on Chester's knife-holding thumb, which seemed to be carved with a pair of goat's horns on the surface, and the workmanship was very elegant.

"Chester, when did you wear the ring?"

"Wearing it all the time, you probably didn't notice it before."

"What kind of ring is this? It looks very novel."

"This, this is the token of the Dean religion, and all believers have one."

The judge nodded. Although he believes in the "true god" Gairroth, he is not a devout believer. He rarely participates in some activities of Dean's followers, so it is normal not to know.

After breakfast, everyone sat in the living room thinking about countermeasures. Ersa still felt hungry, and her eyes wandered around like a hungry wolf.

"Give me some more food, I'm not full yet." Elsa said in an old voice.

Arthur turned to Bellamy and asked "Is there any food ready in the kitchen?"

Bellamy shook her head, Ersa had already eaten all the breakfast, including their servant's portion, and now Ersa was still crying.

"How about this, you ask Cook to quickly make some pearl sweet soup and serve it to Mrs. Ersa."

"Ok."

Bellamy left in a hurry. The so-called Pearl Sweet Soup was actually a quick dessert in the Doin Kingdom. Glutinous rice flour was rolled into balls the size of a little finger, boiled in the sweet soup, and garnished with some dried flower petals.In the East, this thing is also known as a small glutinous rice ball without filling, which is very hungry.

Chao An was sitting on a single sofa, propping her head up and listening to the crowd discussing how to leave the manor. After discussing for a long time, there was no reason to discuss. Ersa might feel too hungry, and she was going to go back to the room to rest for a while, so He bid farewell to everyone and walked upstairs, and specifically told him to bring the sweet soup over quickly.

Chaoan watched her return to the room, but did not go to bed to sleep, but sat motionless in front of the dressing table, her old face reflected in the mirror, like a piece of dry old bark.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door, and Ersa opened the door tremblingly. Bellamy stood outside the door, holding a large bowl of sweet pearl soup in her hand.

"Mrs. Ersa, here is the dessert you want."

Elsa snatched the big bowl from Bellamy's hand, and then slammed the door, leaving Bellamy standing outside the door with an embarrassed face, but this emotion only lasted for a short time, and only She's a maid, and she still has too much to do.

……

In the room, Chao An's body was floating in the air. He watched Ersa return to the dresser with sweet pearl soup and sit down at the dressing table. She held the spoon with a hand like dry bark, and ate pearl balls in big mouthfuls.

Her mouth was wide open, like a greedy beast. When she swallowed the ball, she could swallow half of the spoon. The spoon was pressed against her throat, and she swallowed it without chewing.

so hungry...

so hungry...

The more you eat, the hungrier you get...

Ersa's face was shaking, and hunger was eating away at her sanity. She simply threw away the spoon, grabbed the balls in the bowl and stuffed them into her mouth.

The sweet soup dripped from her fingers and the corner of her mouth, and wet her collar, but she didn't notice it at all. At this moment, she was so hungry that she just wanted to stuff all the contents of the bowl into her stomach.

Ersa finished eating the balls in the bowl, and a few fell under the dressing table. She didn't let it go, and lay down on the ground like a wild beast, picked them up and ate them one by one.

After eating, Elsa still felt hungry. She looked at herself in the mirror. At this time, most of her collar was soaked in sweet soup, revealing a raised outline. It was her pearl necklace. The pearls are round and shiny, and they were given to her by the Duchess back then, and she has been wearing them all the time.

Look, the pearls on this necklace look like balls...

Ersa swallowed her saliva, took off the pearl necklace around her neck, and then stuffed it into her mouth. The pearls were strung together, extremely hard, not as easy to swallow as a ball, and it got stuck in Ersa's throat.

Ersa felt extremely uncomfortable. She squeezed her throat tightly with both hands and swallowed desperately, but the suffocation caused by the foreign body blocking the airway was still getting stronger.

Ersa's lips and face began to turn purple, and her eyes protruded exaggeratedly, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets. She stared at herself in the mirror, with a terrified expression on her face.

At this time, she was no longer the only one in the mirror, she saw the princess, the young girl standing in front of her, reaching into her stomach, constantly pulling out the food she ate, her stomach was A big hole was opened, and bloody pearl balls were scattered all over the ground.

No wonder she can't get enough to eat

She also saw "people", many, many "people", including servants in the duke's mansion, and some nobles. These "people" stood behind her, staring at her motionlessly.

In the middle is a red figure, Ersa recognized his identity, that is Master Angelet, he just died yesterday...

Ersa realized that these were ghosts, no, she didn't want to stay here, she didn't want to stay with these ghosts, Ersa turned and ran outside, her hand was on the doorknob, and she fell into darkness go down.

Ersa is dead, choked on the pearl necklace she swallowed, or she died of greed, she embezzled the property that belonged to the princess, and now the princess made her spit it all out.

Not long after Ersa's death, a mass of black energy emerged from her body and merged into Chao'an's body, making the evil aura around Chao'an stronger.

"Hey, it's strange, why don't you have any emotional points?"

This is the first time for Chao An to encounter such a situation. He obviously died in extreme fear and pain, but Chao An did not gain negative emotion points, and he actually became stronger. What kind of operation is this?Could there be other ways for Li Gui to evolve?

Chaoan sensed that something was wrong with this world, his soul body was floating around in the room, trying to find some clues, finally, when he opened the closet door, he showed a surprised expression.

……

At noon, it was time to have lunch, and everyone found that Ersa hadn't come down yet, so they asked Bellamy to go to the room and invite her downstairs for dinner.

Bellamy came to the door of the room. She knocked on the door, but no one answered. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the door opened a crack by itself.

Bellamy pushed open the door suspiciously, and saw Ersa lying on the ground, with one hand pinching her neck, and the other stiffly stretched towards the door, her face was purple, her eyes were wide open, and she had been dead for a long time.

"what!!!!!"
