Neverland
Chapter 96 Quiet Night
Catherine was beautiful, very beautiful.
The soft and clean temperament coated her with a layer of light, the fragrance of roses and moonlight dotted the corners of her skirt, and the water splashed just now splashed on the corners of her eyes, like a trail of tears.
"Charles." Catherine propped up her upper body, her hands rested on Yan Cen's knees, and she leaned close to his legs with attachment.
"Do you miss me?" Catherine asked.
Yan Cen tightened his grip on the armrest of the wheelchair.
If it were normal times, Yan Cen would probably have resisted a long time ago.The confession of the mission goal can only be regarded as a kind of clue to him. It is natural to have it, but it doesn't matter if it is not. It is not worth Yan Cen's wronging himself.
But now Xu Muzhou was gone.So at this time, no matter what clues appear, Yan Cen can only grasp them tightly. Only in this way can he find the node where the task is completed in the shortest possible time, and push the task progress bar forward as much as possible.
Yan Cen has already made up his mind, if he can't find Xu Muzhou within 24 hours, he will manually end this cleaning task.
As a senior staff member of Neverland, he understands what it means to have a life accident in the quest line. He doesn't need to weigh it, he knows that Xu Muzhou's nerves and his crispy body can't stand it.
Yan Cen had just stumbled once because of his overconfidence, and he didn't really want to stumble a second time.
So he took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the disgust in his heart, and for the first time in his life swallowed his anger to deal with the mission target.
"I love you very much, Catherine." Yan Cen said, "I can't love you more."
"You're lying." Catherine said softly, "I know very well that—"
"Catherine, how do you want me to love you." Yan Cen folded his fingers and continued: "Do you want to build a gorgeous tombstone for you, or do you need me to go to the underworld to accompany you right now."
"No——" Catherine interrupted him in a panic. She reached out and grabbed Yan Cen's wrist, and said eagerly, "You must not say that."
Catherine's movements were too violent, and the fluffy cuffs of the dress slid from the wrists to the elbows, revealing the bruised and purple scars on her arms.
Yan Cen's gaze was naturally attracted to those scars, they didn't look like the scars that should be on the corpse, those scars were shallow or deep, but they were very regular, heavy on the outside and light on the inside, they were long strips two fingers wide.
"Catherine." Yan Cen didn't touch her, but asked as gently as possible: "What's going on here."
Catherine blinked, not seeming to understand what he meant.
Such scars on the dignified countess's body are naturally abnormal, Yan Cen has a faint hint of it in his heart, but he is not sure.
So Yan Cen changed to a more tactful way of asking: "I mean, what happened to the marks on your hands."
Catherine laughed when she heard this, her chestnut curly hair was spread on Yan Cen's knees, her upper body leaned forward slightly, and tentatively lay a pillow on Yan Cen's lap.
Yan Cen gritted his teeth, and let her lean on him with humiliation.
Xu Shi saw that Yan Cen's attitude was much softer, and Catherine was also visibly happy. She rubbed Yan Cen's knee like a little beast, and said softly, "This is your love for me."
Yan Cen: "..."
Just as he was about to ask again, there was a loud bang from the bedroom door behind him, and even the floor trembled.
"Yan Cen, is it—"
At the moment when the mutation happened, Yan Cen's first reaction was to stretch out his hand to grab Catherine's arm, but a light breeze passed by his fingertips, and he missed it.
--Catherine disappeared before his eyes again.
Yan Cen's fingers clenched tightly, and the airflow slipped quietly from between his fingers. He took a deep breath for a round before turning his head to look at the door.
"Come in and talk." Yan Cen said in a bad tone, "The whole building will hear it."
Song Yan kicked the door shut, and while patting the ashes on her hands, she asked, "Is Xiaomuzhou lost?"
"Yeah." Yan Cen said, "How do you know?"
"The maid somehow delivered some bedtime refreshments." Song Yan said, "I stayed in the room for two or three minutes after delivery. I guess this is what you ordered. Who else can ask you to order it except Xiaomuzhou?" The servants will find someone."
"The guess is really accurate." Yan Cen said in a cool tone: "Why don't you use your ingenuity and find out where Xu Muzhou is."
Song Yan walked across to Yan Cen, sat down on the window sill, and said, "That's your man, this is your castle, don't you know?"
Before Yan Cen could speak, Song Yan's eyes fell on Yan Cen's feet. She bent down, picked up a rose petal from the ground, and twisted it in her hand.
"Fresh." Song Yan said, "It still smells like blood."
"Catherine just came here." Yan Cen said, "You scared her away when you came in."
"...Fart." Song Yan said dumbly, "You think highly of me too, can I scare ghosts away?"
Yan Cenliang glanced at her, then turned the wheelchair and walked to the bed, and stretched out his hand to pull the lanyard beside the bed.
This lanyard is used to call the servants, and the cable runs along the ceiling, eventually ringing the brass bell in the butler's room.
A moment later, Yan Cen's bedroom door was knocked again, and the polite butler asked outside, "Do you have any orders?"
"Call Kelin." Yan Cen suppressed his anger and said, "I have something to ask him."
The butler was silent for a moment before responding, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away from the corridor.
"What did you call that dog for?" Song Yan asked.
"I have a hunch that Xu Muzhou's disappearance has something to do with him." Yan Cen said, "He just heard our conversation this afternoon, and Xu Muzhou disappeared when he turned around. Yes, the guard of the castle is in charge of the chief guard, is there anything wrong?"
Song Yan was just asking a routine question, she could still trust Yan Cen's work quality, this trivial matter would not make him lose his head.
"In addition, you just came here too...Before that, Catherine would come to 'remind' Robert of one thing every night." Yan Cen said: "But she didn't mention it today."
"Then what is she here for, reminiscing about the past?" Song Yan asked.
"I asked her about her wish." Yan Cen paused, then continued: "The answer she gave was that she hoped that I would love her."
"Don't you think this 'love' appears too frequently?" Song Yan stepped on the window sill with one leg bent, her arms resting on her knees, and said seriously: "Whether it's Robert or Catherine , They seem to be too obsessed with this factor."
"It's like clutching a life-saving straw." Yan Cen sneered: "I don't know what it is that I love."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Yan looked up at the door of his bedroom, Yan Cen kept silent at the same time, and looked at Song Yan.
"He came too fast." Song Yan said in a low voice: "It's only a few words—he didn't leave the castle at all."
"More than that." Yan Cen said: "Based on Kelin's character, if he came to see me, he would tidy himself up meticulously. Do you think his uniform of the head of the bodyguard will be fully dressed in just a few minutes?"
"It's like—" Song Yan said, "It's like knowing that you want to see him."
Someone knocked on the bedroom door from outside, Song Yan and Yan Cen silently silenced the sound at the same time, Song Yan put her hand on the window sill, jumped up lightly, pulled the curtain to cover her body, and made a gesture to Yan Cen OK gesture.
Yan Cen manipulated the wheelchair and turned around, took off the cane lying across his lap and held it in his hand, the sharp iron piece at the bottom of the cane was firmly supported on the floor.
"Get out," Yan Cen said.
In order to facilitate Robert's movement in and out, his bedroom door was never locked. Kelin held the doorknob for a moment of silence before pushing the door open and walking in.
Kelin changed into a new uniform, and the traces of the tea stains had quietly disappeared, and he looked like the meticulous chief guard again.
He walked in front of Yan Cen silently, then took off the saber at his waist, and knelt down firmly.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Yan Cen said.
"I dare not lie to you about anything." Kelin raised his head, his eyes were flickering with fanaticism, the veins on the back of his hand propped on the floor were bulging, and his whole body had reached the peak of excitement.
"I was so stupid before." Kelin said excitedly, "It wasn't until you gave me guidance that I realized that my previous thinking was completely wrong."
"The new offerings you found, I have prepared for you." Kelin said: "Please rest assured, I will grant all your wishes like an oracle. This time on the night of the full moon, you will definitely get what you want." willing."
Yan Cen: "..."
Kelin's words were very clear, it was "Count Robert", that is to say, he himself did not know which words gave this bad-minded head guard an inexplicable hint, so that he regarded Xu Muzhou as a new Offerings.
Yan Cen closed his eyes and squeezed his cane tightly with his fingers.
There is a certain emotion in his heart that is quietly breaking ground, and this independent emotion that does not belong to Yan Cen has been suppressed for a long time.As soon as Yan Cen let go of the gate, it began to grow wildly, filling his brain and chest almost instantly.
The next second, Yan Cen raised his hand suddenly, slid the stick in his hand up, squeezed the end of the stick, and swung it down fiercely——
The cane hit Klin's shoulder hard, making a shocking muffled sound. Klin's kneeling hands softened, and he almost fell to the floor following the force.
This time I used a lot of force, and I could still hear the slight tearing sound of the cloth.
"My lord." Kelin's body trembled slightly.
"Make up your own mind." Yan Cen cursed condescendingly.
Song Yan, who was hiding behind the curtain, was startled.
This is not right, Song Yan thought.
Although Yan Cen is very skilled, he rarely takes the initiative to do it, especially to teach an NPC a lesson like this, which is not something Yan Cen would do at all.
Even if he is upset about Xu Muzhou's affairs, he will only look for clues and information that are useful to him, and will not get angry at others.Because in the final analysis, these messy people are not enough for him to separate his gaze and attention, which is due to his own personality.
Song Yan's face was slightly cold, and she squeezed the corner of the curtain in front of her tightly.
Then there is only one possibility.
This is Robert's own mood and character—and Yan Cen let them appear.
The soft and clean temperament coated her with a layer of light, the fragrance of roses and moonlight dotted the corners of her skirt, and the water splashed just now splashed on the corners of her eyes, like a trail of tears.
"Charles." Catherine propped up her upper body, her hands rested on Yan Cen's knees, and she leaned close to his legs with attachment.
