Neverland

The sound insulation of the castle is not very good. The restaurant downstairs is having dinner, Xu Muzhou is sitting on the carpet in Earl Robert's study, and he can clearly hear the music coming from nowhere.

The warm and soft tone of the violin is inexplicably permeating in this situation, mixed with the occasional bass embellishment of the cello.Xu Muzhou had never heard of this piece of music, and he was not familiar with it. He just felt that the sound of the cello sounded very uncomfortable, like a sobbing sound like crying.

"It's in G major." Yan Cen saw his nervousness and said, "The phonograph in the restaurant downstairs will play some music during the meal to create some atmosphere."

"It's too ugly." Xu Muzhou didn't want Yan Cen to think that he didn't make any progress after the two missions, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "The earl's vision and aesthetics are not very good."

Xu Muzhou turned his attention back to his diary.

In fact, for Xu Muzhou, from the internship mission to the present, he has almost gotten used to the setting that there must be a dead person in every mission.As long as the other party is as gentle and harmless as Memorial, he actually doesn't feel much about it.

"Let's not talk about how Catherine reminded him." Xu Muzhou said: "After all, this diary is only from Robert's hand. There are too many possibilities for the biased ideas of subjective factors—maybe he saw the roses outside the window. Hanada Akira felt that his wife was reminding him."

When Xu Muzhou talked about serious business, most of the time he was calm and reliable.His thinking is meticulous, and although he can make bold guesses, he has always held considerable reservations about clues without conclusive evidence.

What's more, in the last mission world, he took a lot of detours because he believed too much in Ji Yun's subjective will. Now, he has learned a lot from a pitfall, and even the living and the dead are simply included in the standard column of "to be investigated".

"However, it is probably certain that Catherine died at the hands of Count Robert." Xu Muzhou said, "What needs to be determined now is why Catherine wants to commit suicide...whether it is illness, or depression, or something There are other reasons as well, she needs to have a legitimate reason to want to leave this world. If I can't find this legitimate reason, I will doubt the authenticity of the information in Earl Robert's diary."

"Catherine is a very shy person." Yan Cen crossed his fingers, leaned on the back of the chair, and said, "When I first entered this world, I not only read Robert's diary, but also more or less asked about the difference. servants, set up their opinion of Catherine."

Xu Muzhou wasn't worried at all about Yan Cen's cliché ability, he shifted his posture, put his elbow on Yan Cen's knee for strength, raised his head and asked.

"Any dry goods?" Xu Muzhou said, "Share."

"The servants said that Catherine's health is not very good, so she seldom participates in the exchanges and gatherings among the noble ladies, and even the servants in the castle don't often see her." Yan Cen said: "She spends most of her time They all stay at home, they like classical music and roses, and they also like market novels that relieve boredom a little bit. This time, the one who was invited to the wedding anniversary banquet was a musician and novelist she liked very much. They met a long time ago. Received an invitation from Catherine."

"A long time ago?" Xu Muzhou said, "That is to say, some of them were invited by Catherine herself?"

"That's right." Yan Cen said, "That means, at least during that period of time, Catherine had no thoughts of committing suicide."

"If she is the one who wants to find witnesses to prove what?" Xu Muzhou asked back.

"Put yourself in your shoes, if you want to find a witness to a death or a tragedy in life, would you find your favorite spiritual sustenance?" Yan Cen said.

"...It seems unlikely." Xu Muzhou pondered for a while, and temporarily dismissed the idea.

Catherine doesn't go out and rarely socializes. The longest time she interacts with is Earl Robert and the servants in her castle.In this situation, spiritual food must have occupied a lot of her life.Love the house and the black, presumably Catherine would not write a special letter to call people to see this kind of tragic commemoration.

"Speaking of which." Xu Muzhou suddenly thought of an important question: "Catherine is dead, Robert got a bunch of people to see some wedding anniversary... Will there be a memorial service?"

"He really treated this as a wedding dinner." Yan Cen said, "Didn't you see, he even prepared a whole field of roses for this castle."

Xu Muzhou gave him a look of "there must be something wrong with this earl", and then tapped the cover of the diary.

"I always feel that Robert is mentally ill." Xu Muzhou said, "It's not that he's mentally ill, maybe it's the over-arrogance unique to the superior... Why did you choose such a broken identity? Even if it’s too good, my legs and feet are not too good.”

"In this mission, Neverland only gave this identity." Yan Cen said.

"What's the situation?" Xu Muzhou was stunned: "Didn't I give you several for you to choose before?"

"But this time there is no other option." Yan Cen said: "I just made a small adjustment in this identity, so I am also wondering if this is also a kind of mention—"

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the study.

"Master." The housekeeper's voice came from outside the door: "Doctor Capet asked to see you, saying that he brought you a new special medicine."

"Song Yan?" Xu Muzhou turned his head and looked at the door: "Is she here?"

"I asked her to come here." Yan Cen said: "I couldn't confirm her identity before, so I left a little message in the restaurant, and she can guess my identity."

"Then how did you find me?" Xu Muzhou asked.

Yan Cen said with a smile: "It's not difficult to find a young master who has neither status nor title, just look through the guest list and you'll know."

Xu Muzhou thought so too, after all, for those who know the inside story, his goal is already easy to identify.

"Then let her in quickly." Xu Muzhou pushed Yan Cen, trying to stand up.

"Sit down." Yan Cen pressed his shoulders, preventing him from getting up.

The floor of the study was covered with a thick woolen carpet, so it was true that he was very comfortable to sit on, but he was a young master of a noble family, so what was the matter with him sitting on the floor of his study with Count Robert's calf as a cushion.

But before Xu Muzhou could struggle, Yan Cen shook the handbell on the table first.

Xu Muzhou: "..."

In the next second, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and the butler was still standing at the door, instead of stepping forward, he made way for Song Yan: "Doctor Capet, please."

Song Yan walked in carrying a small medicine box, and raised her eyebrows at the posture of the two of them.

"Pay attention to the influence." Song Yan said: "Don't stimulate people who are forced to break up in love, it's very inhumane."

Xu Muzhou: "...Huh?"

"What are you doing here?" Yan Cen asked calmly.

"Come to carry out the task, boss." Song Yan put the medicine box in her hand on the desk, then looked around, but she couldn't find a place where she could stay, so she sat on the floor quite casually like Xu Muzhou.

"Come on, tell me about the mission." Song Yan said.

"What mission situation?" Xu Muzhou said, "Have we found any clues now?"

"Of course not." Song Yan said, "What is the object and content of this mission?"

Xu Muzhou asked in confusion: "...Didn't you read the mission information?"

"Ah?" Song Yan was also taken aback, and then said hesitantly: "...Ah, that is information, I didn't pay attention."

"They guide the system not to read the data." Yan Cen sighed: "They are all built-in timelines, a group of lazy and addicted staff."

"I don't like to hear you say that." Song Yan retorted: "Who can memorize such a long task cycle."

"Hey, hey, I haven't seen the target of the mission yet." Xu Muzhou hurriedly stopped him: "What kind of infighting are you doing?"

"So who is the target of the mission?" Song Yan said, "Is it written in the information?"

"It's Countess Robert." Xu Muzhou exchanged messages with her seriously: "This castle belongs to Count Robert, and it should be written on the invitation letter you received... But the problem we found now is that Luo The Countess of Bell is dead, so this time it is the obsession of the dead that needs to be resolved."

"Wait a minute." Song Yan raised her hand: "Count Robert, Charles Robert?"

"Yes, it's him." Xu Muzhou said, "What's wrong?"

"No wonder you chose an identity with disabled legs." Song Yan said to Yan Cen: "It is a rigid rule arranged by Neverland."

"Do you know the reason?" Yan Cen asked.

"Charles L. Robert." Song Yan said seriously: "It used to be the task object of the guiding task."

"Guiding tasks?" Xu Muzhou was stunned: "Didn't it mean that the dual systems will be notified in advance?"

Yan Cen pinched his shoulder, signaling him to be calm.

"Was it your task at that time?" Yan Cen asked.

"No." Song Yan shook her head: "I just have the impression that this task is not difficult. The timeline of the task at that time started when Robert was 22 years old, and the guide stayed by his side for three years, accompanying him to fight A few important battles were over."

"There are so many guiding tasks, you won't have an impression of him for no reason." Yan Cen said.

"That's right." Song Yan said: "This Earl Robert is a bit perverse and violent by nature. He often tortured and killed prisoners of war, or bloodbathed cities and villages. The task force at that time was a novice. After returning to Neverland, he experienced a long time It's better to rest."

"But he happened to be an important figure in this timeline." Song Yan said: "After all, he was there for—"

She paused as she spoke, glanced at Xu Muzhou, and changed to a slightly cryptic statement: "After all, the result of his war at that time would directly lead to the direction of history, so the guiding task was carried out."

Yan Cen was thoughtful: "In other words——"

"It's just that he is very important and cannot die." Song Yan said: "I think that Neverland assigned this identity to you, and there is also this consideration."
