Welcome to Infinite Nightmare

Chapter 12
They waited until night, but the four girls still did not come back.

It was late at night, and the yard was silent. The girls had already turned off the lights to take a bath. Only a room on the west side was flickering with weak candlelight. A figure stood by the bed and watched the yard quietly, as if waiting for something.

Duan Miaomiao also sat at the round table and listened carefully to the voices in the courtyard, as soon as Qi Lu made a move, he immediately followed.

However, this was already 20 seconds ago, and in the blink of an eye, she couldn't hold back and climbed onto the table and fell asleep.

Suddenly a few maids came from the yard, and walked into the room of the four girls lightly.

Seeing this, Qi Lu went straight out, Duan Miaomiao didn't intend to wake up at all.

Qi Luyi was waiting quietly in front of the house on the north side. He saw the maid entering the house and quickly packing the girl's luggage. After a while, the house was as clean as ever, as if no one had ever lived in it, without any traces.

The maid walked out of the house after cleaning up, and saw the figure standing outside the door with frightened eyes, and disappeared after a while.

She was about to ignore the person in front of her and walked straight past, but Qi Lu stopped her with his hand, pretending not to ask, "Why is sister here so late, where is the girl in this room?"

The maid obviously didn't expect this person to stop her, she was a little at a loss, and said in a panic: "I just came here under orders..."

"The queen is dissatisfied with them, and has already sent them out of the palace safely. This girl should not interfere with official business, just take care of her own affairs."

Suddenly a voice from behind interrupted the maid's words, and when Qi Lu turned his head, he saw Wang Momo standing behind him at some point.

She gritted her teeth and said the word "safety", her eyes fell on Qi Luyi's body with indifference, which made people shiver. It was as if she had said it countless times, as if the girl's departure was already doomed.

After Wang Momo said that, she led the maid out of the courtyard gate, Qi Lu pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and followed quietly.

He followed the maid at a distance, walked through the alleys, and stopped in front of a dilapidated hut. The house seemed to have been burned down and rebuilt perfunctorily. The cold atmosphere should have been deserted for a long time, and there is no human habitation.

The maid opened the door under Wang Momo's instructions, and casually threw the luggage in her hand, as if there was something terrifying, the maid quickly walked out of the house with her head down and locked the door.

Under the cover of a big tree, Qi Luyi listened carefully to Madam Wang's words: "You guys know what to say about today's matter, so keep your mouth shut."

The maid lowered her head, looking down on her expression, and then they left.

As soon as Qi Lu came out from behind the tree, he quietly came to the window of the hut. The small window was also locked, but there were many small holes in the window paper, and the inside could be vaguely seen through the moonlight.

He leaned forward and looked inside. The room was filled with the luggage that the maid had just discarded. There seemed to be a person sitting in the corner of the room. The iron chain on his wrist was shining in the moonlight, and it was connected to the wall.

Qi Lu narrowed his eyes, and from the style of the clothes, he recognized that this person was the daughter of Concubine Xi. She hugged her legs and buried her head very low, as if she was whispering, but she couldn't hear anything when she listened carefully.

It was already dawn, and the sun rose slowly, reminding Qi Luyi that he had to leave.

He glanced at the hut, then returned to the accommodation helplessly.

Duan Miaomiao was still sleeping soundly on the table, smacking her mouth from time to time.

Qi Lu rubbed his tired eyes and fell asleep on the table.

When he woke up again, Nanny Wang had already come to the yard and shouted.

Qi Lu quickly woke up Duan Miaomiao, and dragged the girl who hadn't slowed down to the outside of the house.

Duan Miaomiao grinned and broke away from Qi Luyi's hand: "Stop, stop, my hand, my hand is numb... Hey, what time is it, why didn't you call me last night, you hurt me slept on the table all night..."

Qi Luyi's face was covered with black lines, and he said speechlessly: "I'll tell you what happened last night in a while, now I have to select someone to summon you, wipe your drool quickly."

Wang Momo saw that everyone had already arrived, so she said: "There are still two people today, but today we only summoned one time. Girls who haven't been called can have a good rest."
