I checked the photos on my mobile phone, carried my luggage and came to the door of the homestay I booked on AIRB*B, a little hesitant to go in.

Well, I got a commission two weeks ago, and a banker's fiancée disappeared while traveling in Egypt.

He found me through my personal homepage, and I accepted a commission fee deposit of US$5000 from the other party. After divination, I determined the location of his fiancée.

According to my divination, the disappearance of his fiancée seems to be related to this homestay.The manager of the B&B is a gentleman named Darby. It is obviously an Egyptian B&B. The exterior of the building looks very local, but judging from the released interior decoration, it retains the British classical style, which has a strange feeling.

It is said that the host will select the guests, and it is difficult for ordinary tourists to book that homestay, but if the guest is a beautiful woman, the success rate will be much higher.Maybe because I used my own photo as my avatar, it was approved immediately after 5 minutes of application.And after paying the deposit, Mr. Darby also thoughtfully sent a confirmation email, including the services they provided, nearby attractions, accommodation precautions, etc.However, if the appointment is canceled due to personal reasons, the deposit will not be refunded.

I guess it might be a kidnapping case, in my divination the banker's fiancée is alive but in a rather dangerous condition.And when I came here in person, I suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in my heart.

It will be dangerous if I go into this house.

My duty is to find the banker's fiancée. If I can bring her back safely, I will get the balance of the remaining [-] U.S. dollars. If I can't handle the situation and provide effective clues, I can also get [-] U.S. dollars.

Fighting is not my strong point, but I will try my best.After all, if I don't work anymore, I won't be able to pay my own rent, so I can only go back to the school for gifted teenagers with annoying brainwashing professors, and deal with those goddamn brats.

Before going in, shouldn't you divination the risk first?

I thought of the protagonist in a Greek novel I read recently. When he hesitated in everything, the result of divination would always be correct.Just when I took out my pendulum and was about to confirm the danger of what I was going to do next, the door of the hotel suddenly opened.

"Welcome, Miss Irene Wang, your room has been cleaned, and we have been waiting for you for a long time."

A man with a mustache and a formal vest came out from inside.He is Danny J. Darby, the manager of the homestay. The identity of the owner is unknown, but of course it doesn't matter. I will investigate the whereabouts of the banker's fiancée within the next week.

As a rule of thumb, the longer the missing period, the less likely the target will survive.Considering that this is the Middle East, any kind of bad things can happen. The banker’s fiancée, Brianna, is a beautiful brown-haired beauty. Before her wedding, she went to the Middle East with her best friend Julia to fulfill the ceremony, and ended up in Cairo, Egypt. This station lost contact, the two ladies at the same time.

I very much suspect that they were kidnapped. Young women are of high value. If there is no accident, they should still be in Cairo. It is still unknown what role the manager of this homestay played. In short, everything is determined according to the investigation results.

"Thank you, please show me my room. I have a slight obsession with cleanliness. If the cleanliness is not satisfactory, I will go to a hotel."

"Haha, don't worry, we have a dedicated person who will be responsible for the cleaning of the museum. Cleaning is the least of your worries."

Darby said to help me with my luggage, and then he staggered and almost lost his footing.

"Oh my god... your suitcase is really heavy, what's in it?"

He asked with some embarrassment, and I smiled nonchalantly, "Some daily necessities, it's impolite to ask a lady such a question, Mr. Darby."

"I'm sorry, I'm just a little surprised that a beautiful and petite lady like you can carry such a heavy box."

"Traveling is always about bringing the essentials."

While answering the manager's words, I pretended to be a discerning guest and observed the environment inside the house.It feels like I have entered an aristocratic house that I have only seen in a BBC drama. The lighting is all candlesticks on the wall. The whole house is extremely dark, dark and weird. From a certain point of view, it is quite special, but it is a bit unbearable .

"Why is it so dark here? Is there no electricity?"

I frowned and looked at Mr. Darby who was helping me carry my luggage to the stairs on the second floor, and couldn't help asking questions.There are even spider webs in the corners of the house, dark and depressing, even a little scary, even if there are ghosts suddenly appearing, I will not be surprised.

——That's right, in fact, most horror movies start like this...

"It's just a feature of our interior style, oh don't worry, guests have electric lights in their rooms."

While struggling to carry the suitcase upstairs, Darby explained to me and mentioned the precautions, "There are some things that I must remind you in advance. You must abide by the rules when staying here. The third floor is the owner's residence. If you are not invited Don’t go up at will, or you will be responsible for the consequences. There are other guests on the second floor, and you don’t like to be disturbed. Try not to disturb other guests. If you have any problems in life, just come to me. By the way, there is no bathroom in the room , if you need to take a bath, please use the public bathroom on the first floor before [-] o'clock at night. And the owner likes to be quiet, running or making noise is strictly prohibited. Once you violate the above precautions, I can only ask you to leave in advance."

"I see."

Although they were talking about very common things, each of them felt quite suspicious.Especially the third floor that is not allowed to enter, but until the investigation is clear, it is better not to take risks for the time being.

However, it feels like the owner of this homestay has a bad temper. Although I am a little suspicious of the meaning of the phrase "leave early", does it mean to refuse my check-in, or to send me to die?

I don't think it's easy to say.

Anyway, I was led by Darby to my room.

The guest room is much better than the inside of the hotel. It looks like an ordinary hotel room, but there is no shower in the bathroom.If you want to take a bath, you must use the public bathroom on the first floor before eight o'clock.

"What if we go after eight o'clock?" I squinted my eyes and asked casually.

"There might be some trouble, and that's when men use it," Darby replied politely.

men?I thought your homestay only accepts female guests, but there are still men here... I secretly slandered.

"How many guests do you have here now?" I pretended to ask casually.

"Including your words, there are currently five people in total, Miss Irene."

Darby stared at me intently, his eyes were a little subtle, as if he was looking at the goods and evaluating the specifications.

"I still hope that you can abide by the rules in the museum. And it is not recommended that you leave your room to walk around in the middle of the night, otherwise you will not be responsible for any accidents."

"Are you sure this is just a homestay and not a haunted house?"

I complained, "Don't you tell me that this place is actually haunted?"

"Of course there are no ghosts, Miss Irene, I wish you a happy life."

But Darby smiled, and without answering, he gave me the key to the door, bowed and left the room.

Whether it is the manager or the atmosphere of the entire museum, there is a subtle sense of weirdness.

However, the current intelligence is not enough, and rash actions will only involve themselves in danger.

After the manager Darby's footsteps disappeared, I slowly opened my suitcase.

In addition to the top layer is a change of clothes, the inner layer is a row of weapons.

I came here as an accountant. This is like a serial killer's toolbox. It's normal for the administrator to be unable to lift it... I couldn't help but complain to myself.

Actually I'm not good at fighting, compared to my friends, I'm like a younger brother.I am better at using divination to get the desired answer and avoid some risks.In fact, before I came here, I had divination that the danger of taking this job was quite high, but the results of the divination were included in this task, and I could get some unexpected gains.

I hope so... If it weren't for the $[-], I wouldn't want to come to the Middle East.Of course, as a tracing task, the rewards are already very generous.I hope to avoid a situation that requires fighting as much as possible, find the banker's fiancée, and get her out of this wretched place.

I looked up at the time on the wall.The flight was delayed, and it was almost ten o'clock when we arrived here.

It seems that the time for ladies to use the bathroom has passed, so I can only wait until tomorrow to take a shower.But I wasn't sweating, and I wasn't in a hurry to take a shower.

I sat on the bed, took out the photo of the banker's fiancée in the bag, and took a look at it. Then I closed the suitcase and took out my pendulum to do some divination.After getting an affirmative answer, I put the pendulum back into my pocket, got up and left my room.

Next is working time, so let's go and say hello to the residents here.

The result of the divination said that there is a certain risk in doing so, but it is not too great.After confirming that the risk was acceptable, I went next door and knocked on the neighbor's door.

After a while, the door was opened.A darker-skinned woman poked out from inside, looking at me visibly vigilantly and hostilely.

"……What's up?"
