Natural black penetrates into infinite flow

"En!" Annie nodded heavily, "I knew that you are the most humane person in the entire mansion!"

"The flowers and cakes were thrown in through the observation window. It's too dark here, so I can't see clearly, but I know it must be you."

No, it's not.The duchess had promised that no one should approach Anne without her order.The system also said that only the butler has the key to the basement door and never leaves it.

Annie noticed that Xia Mingchi was stunned, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Xia Mingchi didn't want to scare the girl, so she asked her to finish eating with peace of mind.

"The Duchess said that you will be released soon, don't worry."

Xia Mingchi packed his things and heard footsteps outside the door. It was completely different from the rush of the big-headed monster. Every step was calm and powerful without the slightest panic.

"Shh."

Xia Mingchi signaled Annie to be quiet, and the two leaned against the door.

【Annie has eaten the food, the door can be opened again. 】

"Click", the sound of turning the doorknob.

Xia Mingchi lit the cigarette swiftly, and if it was a monster that came in, he would put the cigarette butt on the opponent's eyes.

"You actually smoke?"

Louis, who was wearing a white suit, opened the door and came in. He was very surprised to see the butler holding a cigarette.

"Not only do you smoke, but you also let your little sister inhale second-hand smoke. It's too much!"

Louis couldn't help but snatch the cigarette from Xia Mingchi's hand and throw it on the ground, stamping it out with his feet.

Xia Mingchi: ...

Louis asked, "Why are you here?"

"I should ask you this, Madam asked me to deliver food to Annie." The housekeeper tilted his head.

"Miss asked me to show Annie the injury."

Louis opened the medicine chest. He also brought a blanket and spread it on the straw mat.

Xia Mingchi finished the task and opened the door with an oil lamp.

"Where are you going?" asked the doctor.

"Of course I will go back and not disturb your work."

"I didn't bother you at first, just wait a moment, the corridor is dark and long, I'm afraid to walk alone."

"OK then."

Xia Mingchi took out a cigarette again and put it in his mouth, not to smoke, but to prevent it from being too late to react in case of danger.He was leaning against the wall, his shirt sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, and his hands were in his trouser pockets, with a kind of unruly handsomeness.

Louis' eyes lit up, he was really a little wild cat.

"Hurry up and work." The butler urged impatiently.

Louis used sterilized tweezers to tear off the shredded clothes stuck to Annie's wound, and some of the rotten cloth even stuck to the bright red flesh when it was torn off.

Annie broke out in a cold sweat from the pain and bit her lower lip tightly.

Even though it's just a game, the NPC's reaction is so realistic, as if everything is actually happening.

"After applying the disinfectant, it may hurt even more. If you really can't bear it, tell me." Louis warned softly.

Annie nodded weakly.

The temperature of the cotton ball dipped in the medicine is very low, and it feels cool when rubbed on the skin, but after a few seconds, there is a burning pain, as if the whole back is on fire.

Annie remained silent, biting her lips tightly and trembling.

Seeing this, Louis stopped what he was doing to let her breathe.

How considerate, Xia Mingchi folded his arms and thought.His previous impression of Louis was glib, but he didn't expect this guy to be thoughtful. He not only brought blankets for Anne, but also adjusted his technique according to the patient's condition.

He doesn't seem to be annoying either.

After covering the wound with a bandage, Louis took out a packet of powder from the medicine box and sprinkled it around the straw mat.

"This is for repelling insects and mice. You should be able to sleep well at night."

Annie said gratefully, "Thank you housekeeper and doctor."

She was a little embarrassed, "The housekeeper's suit is dirty, and I will pay you after I go out."

"No need, you should have a good rest first." Xia Mingchi comforted the little maid.

After coming out of the room, the butler closed the door again, and his eyes focused on the Iron Maiden at the door again.The sound of breathing and blood dripping inside could hardly be heard.

I don't know if Louis has opened it and seen it.

Was it the Duchess who locked Robert in?Annie was clearly wronged, that is to say, she had nothing to do with Robert.

And what was Ann's charge when the poor milkman was caught?

Seeing that Xia Ming hadn't moved, Louis curiously approached the metal statue. "I saw it when I came here, but I was in a hurry to see a doctor for Annie, so I didn't pay attention to it. What's in it..."

Xia Mingchi pressed Louis' outstretched hand calmly, "I don't know, but this is something from the mansion, please don't touch it."

Intuition told myself that it would be better not to let Louis know.

The man was very obedient, and took his hand back.

The temperature in the tunnel seemed to drop, and the hot air from speaking condensed into a white mist. Without a coat, Xia Mingchi felt chills all over his body.Underneath the tuxedo was a gray suit vest and a white shirt, but they were all thin, so they couldn't keep out the cold at all.

The butler breathed a little heat into his hands, and hugged his arms again.

The warm white coat appeared at the right time, and his body suddenly became warm. Xia Mingchi raised his head in surprise, and met those black eyes.

"Put it on," Louis said with a smile.

"you……"

"I'm not cold." The doctor took the oil lamp from Xia Mingchi's hand so that he could get dressed.

Reason told Xia Mingchi that it was best not to, but his body was honest and accepted the white coat happily.

Louis was about a head taller than him, and his shoulders were wider, so the suit jacket looked like a bag on Xia Mingchi's body. In terms of length, it just covered his buttocks.

Great, the little cat didn't refuse.

Louis's eyes flashed with cunning and excitement, and he couldn't help but start to fasten the collar of the suit to the butler. "You are thin, you need to eat more."

"Thank you."

For some reason, after putting on this dress, I felt a sense of security all over my body, as if a hamster nestled in a pile of soft sawdust, and my emotions were less tense.

There is also the smell on the coat, which is not a pungent disinfectant, and it is different from the sweet and greasy feeling of Qiangwei. It is a warm tea fragrance mixed with a little woody smell, with the calmness of a mature man.

After the aroma enters the nasal cavity, it seems to constantly tease/tease the olfactory cells on the mucous membrane, exuding a low-key sexy.

Xia Mingchi swallowed and spit, his small Adam's apple rolled up and down.I have to admit, I am obsessed with this taste.

What a tricky game!Actually engage in these things that make people overwhelmed!

Louis didn't know that so many thoughts flashed through the butler's mind, so he just stood beside him quietly.

"Let's go." The kerosene lamp illuminated a small area in front of him, and Xia Mingchi stepped forward.

Louis didn't move.

"What's wrong?" Xia Mingchi was puzzled.

"Can I hold your hand?"

The doctor explained: "Actually, I am somewhat night blind. The road here is too dark."

"It's okay if it doesn't work... I'll try to keep up. But if you fall, please don't laugh..."

Xia Mingchi stretched out his hand towards Louis, and his habit of not liking being touched seemed to have changed a lot after entering the game.It's not just holding hands, and it's not poking your lips, there's nothing wrong with it.

"bring it on."

There were small flames beating in Louis' black eyes, and he held the slender and white hand, the temperature of which was slightly lower than his body temperature.

Not satisfied with this, Louis spread his fingers and slid into the opponent's fingers, interlocking his fingers.

Really good, easier to touch than a cat's paw.

"It's too scary here. If you think it's scary, come closer to me." Louis bowed his head and whispered in Xia Mingchi's ear.

Xia Mingchi stopped in his tracks, turned around and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

"I...Of course I'm afraid."

When the housekeeper turned his head, the doctor stood up straight again and kept a pace away from Xia Mingchi.

This is a safe distance that belongs to ordinary relationships.Not too far away, and not too close.

"That's it," Xia Mingchi pulled Louis over with a firm tone, "You'd better stay close to me."

"it is good."

Although Louis was calm on the surface, the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from upturning.With permission, you can post it aboveboard.

After walking a few meters, everything seemed normal, except for the scent of roses in the air.But this is also easy to explain. After all, the ventilation fan is hidden in the rose bushes, and the fragrance of flowers will be brought in when breathing.

The fragrance became stronger and stronger.

Xia Mingchi stepped on the wooden floor, feeling like he was stepping on cotton, the soles of his feet were light and soft.

The kerosene lamp shone on the ground, and at some point, the floor turned into a human torso without a head, neck or limbs.The torso can't even tell the front from the back, because they're... no, it's them, they've been riddled with holes.

"Hey, why did you stop?" The person in front stopped suddenly, but Louis didn't stop the car, and hit Xia Mingchi's back with his chest.

The doctor is night blind, so he shouldn't be able to see the changes under his feet.

"I was dazzled by the kerosene lamp." Xia Mingchi said, grabbing Louis tightly.

On the wooden walls on both sides, blood began to seep continuously along the joints of the wooden boards.

"Why is there a fishy smell?" Louis asked.

"Maybe this is a torture chamber."

"Maybe? You are the housekeeper, and you are not sure?"

Xia Mingchi ignored Louis' teasing, and dragged him to run away.There is only one road from the place where Annie is held to the entrance, with a corner in the middle, as long as you run, you should be able to get out quickly.

The aroma of roses flooded in again, stronger than before.

Xia Mingchi felt that this long corridor seemed endless. There were two light sources in the darkness, one was the lamp in his hand, and the other was the torch next to the Iron Maiden.All other spaces are filled with darkness.

Xia Mingchi looked back. After walking for so long, it is reasonable to say that he should be far away from the iron maiden, but the distance between the metal object and himself did not seem to have changed in any way.

In other words, they stayed at the position where the rose fragrance appeared.

"Why are you touching me?" Louis said suddenly.

"Don't touch it... I'm so sorry..."

"Ah!" The doctor hurriedly uttered a voice that made people think, "It's not allowed there!"

Xia Mingchi was puzzled, "I don't have one."

He shook his hands, holding Louis with one hand and the lamp with the other.This kind of thing has something to do with my innocence, so I have to make it clear.

"But my waist is clearly..."

When the words came to his lips, Louis swallowed.Other people, or things, exist besides the two of them.

The author has something to say:

Lu Qihuai: It's not impossible to poke your mouth.

Xia Mingchi: ......
