Chapter 156: Midnight
Chapter 156: Midnight
A rather magnetic voice came from the dorm room door as it knocked.
"Brother Aaron, I've come to discuss your plan of action for the evening."
The visitor was none other than Cass.
The thought of his father's problems and the strangeness of being back in the family made Cass restless in his room, he couldn't hold back, but he still planned to talk to Han Dong.
Cass even thought about the two of them staying together tonight and keeping an eye on what was going on upstairs all night.
"Wait a minute!"
After waiting a minute, Han Dong opened the door.
In the meantime, Celeste had hidden in the closet.
She approached Han Dong of her own accord, and it was still the middle of the night and if she was found Han Dong's room.
If this matter was leaked out, it might affect her reputation as a member of the Holy Knights.
Hiding in the wardrobe, she waited quietly for Cass to leave.
Who knew?
Cass wouldn't stop this conversation at all.
Han Dong tries to use some indirect language to get Cass to go back to his room.
Who knows, not only did Cass not go back to his room.
He even called Sophia over, simply because it was easier for the squad to move around by staying together.
Also, only one person needed to stay on watch, while the other two could sleep and rest, once there was movement upstairs, the vigilantes would just wake everyone up again.
Han Dong was helpless regarding the development of the situation.
At this rate, the noble status Celeste Knight might be locked in the wardrobe for the entire night.
"Where's your sister?" Cass inquired.
If there was something serious going on tonight, the punishing knight might still be needed.
"Sister she said something was up, she left half an hour ago."
"Well, the official knight is supposed to bear a heavier burden than us, so I guess there's something in the Order for her to go over there and deal with.
In that case, I'm counting on you all for tonight.
Fia, you and Brother Aaron can rest first, I'll take the night watch, I'll wake you up if there's anything unusual."
At that moment, Han Dong suddenly interrupted, strongly urging.
"I'll do the vigil! I don't think you slept well yesterday morning when I asked you to help with the 'chores', did you? Just let me do it tonight."
"Okay, I really didn't get much rest."
Cass remembered Han Dong's increasingly strong body and agreed to his request.
Sophia on the side immediately cast a very grateful cute little look, so that she could 'sleep' with Cass.
Even though they were both wearing coats, Sophia was content enough to lie in the same bed with Cass.
Cass was fully asleep shortly after laying down.
Sophia, though her eyes were closed, was not asleep at all.
Her little heart was pounding and her small, slightly chubby hands moved slowly across the bed to touch Cass' strong arms, but then immediately withdrew as she approached.
Constantly repeating this 'contradictory' action.
Han Dong just sat at his desk, waiting for the little sister of the team to fall asleep so Celeste could come out of the closed closet.
From time to time, Han Dong slanted his eyes towards the closet's blinds.
It took a full two hours of waiting.
It was only when Sophia's ambivalence slowed down that she gently grabbed Cass' arm and fell asleep.
Crunch!
The wardrobe door was open and Celeste, who was hiding inside, had been smothered in sweat, some of her white clothes even drenched in sweat.
She also deliberately took off her boots as she left the dorm room in order to stay barefoot on the wooden floor so as not to make unnecessary noise.
Celeste held her index finger up to her lips the entire time, signaling to Han Dong not to talk to her.
However.
When she had just reached the spot where Han Dong was sitting.
The knight's keen perception made her turn her head abruptly.
She saw that Sophia had sat up slightly from the bed and was staring at her with a dumbfounded face.
Sophia hadn't fallen asleep since the beginning, after all, she was too excited inside.
Opening her eyes due to sensing the slightest movement in the room, she just happened to witness the image of her sister with boots and Han Dong leaning against the desk.
Moreover, from Sophia's vision, the two were completely leaning against each other, plus their own sister was sweating profusely.
It was as if the two had just finished doing something.
"Fia, hush!"
Celeste blushed and tried to keep her sister as quiet as possible.
"Sister, you, "Sophia's head was a muddle, and she couldn't imagine what she was seeing.
It was at the same moment.
Ta-ta-ta~
The sound of a series of footsteps upstairs clearly reached everyone's ears.
Not coincidentally, the gear clock placed on the desk, the three hands coinciding exactly and pointing at the number '12', the air, even more, was filled with a strange atmosphere.
"Cass!"
Han Dong couldn't care less about such trivial matters and was busy waking Cass up.
Cass, who had awakened abruptly, was slightly surprised by Celeste's appearance in the room, but his main concern was the sound of footsteps coming from the third floor.
Judging by the direction the footsteps were coming from, his father was by no means 'up for the night'.
It sounded more like he was 'walking in circles' in the room.
Han Dong immediately inquired, "What did the housekeeper say about your father going to the backyard to dig during his sleepwalking?"
"Between four and five in the morning."
"The time now is midnight, with a four-hour interval. It's likely that your father did something else at the mansion during his sleepwalking, besides digging."
"Let's get up there!"
"Okay, keep your voice down, so you don't get caught."
Still slightly preoccupied due to the strange events that had happened to his father, Cass walked ahead of him.
Han Dong deliberately walked last and reminded in a low voice, "Sister Vino, think about this matter of the Martini family first.
"I know!"
If there was enough light, Celeste's cheeks would be found flushed.
Family reasons and her status as a member of the Order of the Holy Ghost made her care about these details.
"Sister Vino, you're in charge of the break, right? I'll lead the way."
"You, lead the way? This incident does not seem to be simple, and as the clock went past twelve just now, I could already feel definite strange scents permeating the mansion."
"Don't worry, at least I won't be contaminated, and it's safest for Knight Vino to be the one at the back.
Although highly unlikely, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Cass mansion has been completely 'infested'."
It was important to anticipate considering the worst-case scenario and formulate the most prudent solution.
"Well, "
Celeste squeezed a special fate item in her hand.
"Holy Relic - Celtic Cross of Judgment.
With the holy object as the core can build any form of 'light ware'.
The condensed light shield and some long-range holy light physical attacks from earlier against the Fallen Baker were all effects of this cross.
Should any evil object appear, Celeste would activate the cross, destroying it instantly.
With Celeste in charge of breaking the back, Han Dong would only have to consider what was ahead.
"Cass, I'll lead the way! Recently at [Stitch-ology], I learned a new skill specifically for observation."
