Neverland

Those exquisite and pure larks were imprisoned in cages, waiting for the glory and charity bestowed on them by the gods.

If Yan Cen can't even understand this kind of words, then he has lived all these years in vain.

According to the words of Captain Kelin, this kind of thing did not happen once or twice.He used the word "offering offerings", which meant that this had become the normal state of tacit understanding between their master and servant.

The head of the bodyguard Kelin has a muscular figure. The hilt of the long sword worn by his waist is inlaid with exaggerated emeralds. The patterns on the silver scabbard are intricate and delicate. Yan Cen looked at it calmly and found The crest of the Robert family is also engraved on the inside.

This is a supreme honor for a subordinate like a guard, at least it means that he is qualified to act outside in the name of "Robel" family.

But speaking from the bottom of his heart, Yan Cen was not surprised that Kelin would be favored by Robert.

The chief guard with sound limbs and strong military force put himself in an extremely humble position from the moment he saw him.He would even kneel in front of Yan Cen and kiss the corner of his wheelchair.

"Please don't worry." Kelin said respectfully, "What happened last time will never happen again. I guarantee that the offerings this time are completely clean. They are all white from the inside out, and they can definitely achieve the best results. .”

— last time.

Yan Cen thought of the morning newspaper he saw, the report on the missing girls, those girls who were lost in a short period of time, it was said that they were chosen by black magic to be sacrificed - from this point of view, it seems that part of the report was indeed correct.

Those girls who disappeared for no reason were indeed "sacrificed" to the devil in a sense.

But Yan Cen didn't know where the missing girls went, and in what form they would be "enjoyed" by Robert.He doesn't have any memories of Robert, and the Earl doesn't know whether he is really smart or really stupid, and he didn't mention anything related to it in his diary. Yan Cen looking at Kelin now is equivalent to blacking out his eyes .

Thoughts in his mind turned thousands of times, but on the surface he still wanted to play Count Robert himself.And he was able to test clues as Earl Robert.

"Really." Yan Cen said: "Is there no problem with where they are detained?"

Kelin's shoulders paused slightly, he raised his head suspiciously, glanced at Yan Cen, but then quickly lowered his head, and said hesitantly: "...My lord, they are still being held at the place you personally designated, presumably It's very secure."

I can't ask any more, Yan Cen thought.

This Kelin bodyguard seems to be a hound raised by Robert's family, but not only has he learned the humility of a dog, but his sense of smell has not degenerated during the process of raising him, and is still very keen.Yan Cen had no doubt that if he continued to ask, Kelin might really become suspicious of him.

Or it might have already started, Yan Cen thought to himself.

He was sitting in a wheelchair, the epaulets on his dress were shining brightly, and he looked down at the snow-white uniform of Kling's bodyguard with a blank expression.

Yan Cen knew that according to Robert's personality, he should end the topic at this time and let Kelin leave the study.But suddenly, Yan Cen made a very bold decision.

—He raised his left foot and stepped on Kling's shoulder.

The badly injured kneecap made a sharp protest, Yan Cen was like an old black master who didn't care about the life and death of slaves at all, insisting on forcing them to perform such dangerous movements, which made his whole leg feel as if his nerves had been crushed again violation.

Yan Cen exerted a little force, stepped on Kelin's shoulder and crushed it.It's just that Robert's leg has been injured for more than ten years, even if he tried his best to step on the opponent's shoulder, it was light and weak.

This is an extremely insulting gesture. Subordinates like guards are not free to humiliate like servants and slaves in the manor, but Kelin didn't feel that much. He followed Yan Cen's movement and bent down even lower. Forearms and shoulders should almost touch the carpet.

He raised his head while maintaining this posture, the handsome head of the guard blushed, his body trembling slightly due to excitement.

"Oh, my God, my god." Kelin raised his hand, put it under Yan Cen's feet, and said in an exaggerated prayer tone: "The god heard my prayer, and what you insisted on has been obtained." Response. This shows that you are very correct in your insistence. Next, you only need to continue to move towards the moonlight, and you will get what you want sooner or later."

Yan Cen could see that Kelin was not angry because of his humiliation.

The captain of the guard who was fortunate to have Robert's family crest was indeed very loyal, but his status was not only related to loyalty.It is inevitable to lower your posture in front of Robert with crippled legs to please Robert, but correspondingly, as long as Yan Cen thinks a little, he understands that Robert's attitude towards him will never be any better.

Facts have proved that Yan Cen's guess is right.

And he not only dispelled Klin's few doubts, but also gained another harvest.

Crean treasured his ability to move his legs again.Judging from his reaction, those missing girls might be directly related to Robert's injured legs.

This actually makes sense, Yan Cen thought, the knot in Robert's life is these legs, his helpless depression and the resulting violence are all caused by this, so he must be thinking day and night how to regain his strength. stand up.

Yan Cen still can't guess what those girls are used for, but Kelin has mentioned the word "clean" many times, and Yan Cen can understand a thing or two as long as he thinks about it.

——What Kelin found for him was a pure virgin.

It's a prophecy, Yan Cen thought.Zhong Lu really found a "qualified" world for them. In this world, neither Catherine nor Robert seemed to be normal people.

Yan Cen seems to have obtained the seemingly crucial clues in the shortest time by relying on his identity as Earl Robert, but in fact, the puzzles that Neverland gave him are not the only ones.

It's just that these things are messy and confusing, Yan Cen only thought about it roughly, and decided to put it aside.

After all, the task object of this world is Catherine. Even if Robert did something out of the ordinary, as long as it has nothing to do with Catherine, it is not worth his extra effort.

So Yan Cen raised his foot and said arrogantly to Kelin: "It's none of your business, get out."

Kelin didn't suspect anything. He was used to his master's moodiness, so he bowed reverently to him, and walked out of the study with a few knees.

The door of the study opened and closed, Kelin carefully closed the door for Yan Cen, took another step back, gave a chest salute to the inside of the door, then turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Yan Cen's leather boots left a dusty shoe print on the shoulder of his snow-white uniform, which looked very obvious.But Kling walked forward without looking sideways, as if the shameful shoe print on his shoulder did not exist.

He met the butler at the corner of the stairs, who was holding a snow-white soft pillow upright in his hand.

"What is this for?" Kelin stopped the butler and asked casually, "I remember that the Earl doesn't like such fluffy pillows."

The butler was very familiar with the chief guard of Kelin, so he said truthfully, "It's for the earl's guests."

"It's for guests, why bring it here?" Kelin said dissatisfiedly, "Who's guest is so arrogant, it's just a pillow, and the count needs to see it in person?"

"That's not the case." The butler said politely: "The earl said that he has a good impression of the young master of the Russell family, so the young master will live in the master bedroom these days. This is an extra pillow for him. Then The young master is still young and his skin is very delicate, so he must like this type."

"...the young master of the Russell family?" Kelin repeated. He glanced sideways at the closed door of the master bedroom at the other end of the corridor, and gave way to the butler with a calm expression.

"Then please go about your business first," Kling said.

Yan Cen in the study leaned back slightly, and rested on the back of the chair in a relaxed posture.

He straightened the cane on his knees, and fixed the tip of the cane on the footrest of the wheelchair. Yan Cen held the top of the cane, and found that one wing of the vulture was just enough for his thumb to hold, while the other end of the cane The wings are damaged so that the angle is very strange, no matter how the fingers are placed, it is very awkward.

Yan Cen was attracted by this detail, he turned the cane half a circle, only to find that from the outside angle, the cane was very obviously damaged, there was an obvious scratch at the junction of the handle and the wooden stick, Yan Cen Cen compared it with his hand, and found that the scratch should be scratched by a drooping vulture's wing.

This matter is a bit strange, Robert is a nobleman who pays attention to details, so there is no reason for him to be so careless about himself.

I don't know whether Robert hasn't used the cane for so long that he didn't notice the defect, or whether the scar has special meaning to him, so he didn't repair it.

Just as Yan Cen was thinking, there was another knock on the door of the study.

"Master." The butler said outside the door after finishing his work, "Your last guest has arrived."

"The last one?" Yan Cen frowned, and said impatiently, "I remember that the guests invited to the manor should have arrived at the manor last night."

"That's right." The butler was afraid that he would get angry, so he hurriedly said, "This guest is a police inspector."

Yan Cen frowned——as an earl, Robert invited some people of high social status even if they were not famous and famous in his own territory. How could such an unmannered inspector suddenly appear.

"I don't remember inviting this kind of person." Yan Cen said: "And since he is late, tell him to get out."

"I'm sorry, master." The butler said awkwardly: "I hope you can listen to my reason - the invitation of the inspector was written by Madam, probably one of the guests invited by Madam."
