Chapter 436 - 8.36 She’s Dead
In the end, Lu Yizhou could only make use of the white cloth covering the furniture. One flap had all the dust flying up in the air and he had to resist sneezing a few times as he wrapped the cloth a few times around himself. Fortunately, it was more than enough to cover his nudity. He resolved to take a bath as soon as the dawn broke.
Stretching a hand out toward Ozzie, he said, ’Let’s go.’
Ozzie agilely jumped across his arm to perch on his shoulder like always. ’Let’s gooo, Daddy!’ She nuzzled her head on the crook of Lu Yizhou’s neck and hummed blissfully. ’Aside from the stench of sex, you smell just like Mommy meow! I like it!"
Lu Yizhou: "..."
’...Good to know that,’ was all he could afford to say after taking a few steadying breaths.
Lu Yizhou pressed his ear against the door and heard nothing but silence. It had been a little past midnight, and Lu Yizhou had no idea if whatever happened in the master bedroom had already ended or not. Judging from how Baines could step away to approach this floor, perhaps he had been too late. Well, no problem, he could always return to investigate the next day.
For the last time, Lu Yizhou turned back to examine the empty space before him. He knew that there was a chance that he would not be heard, but he still couldn’t help but bid them a farewell. "Have a good night, Miss Ella, Miss Ellie. I will return again as soon as possible."
Lu Yizhou quietly slid out of the door and trudged forward to the stairs. The high vantage point gave him the upper hand in surveying the third floor without anyone noticing. So far, he couldn’t sense anything amiss but just in case, Lu Yizhou activated his skill ’Invisibility Cloak’ that had finished cooling down and covered both Ozzie and himself.
As it turned out, the master bedroom indeed clicked open in the next second!
Lu Yizhou and Ozzie held their breath sharply as a horrifying stench permeated out through the open door. Goddamnit, the odor was no longer disgusting but plain biohazard that could kill! The combination of decay, rotten flesh and blood — lots, lots of blood — trailed along Baines’ figure as the head servant came out and... dragging with him a huge bloody sack. And from there, Lu Yizhou could make out sounds of crying and whimpers of pain.
It was unmistakably the sound of the two women who had come in earlier!
