Chapter 503 Murderer

Soon, several large and small holes in the kitchen were frozen by Kevin with ice cubes. With the heating running, the temperature in the villa warmed up again. Although it was still dark, it was okay to have heating in the winter. enough.

"Kevin, your ice shouldn't melt, right?"

"...Yes, but not until at least a few months later."

Kevin answered Velvet's question. The ice he created was different from ordinary ice cubes. The ones with a little more energy could even be exposed to the sun for several days without producing any traces of water.

"I don't want to go out..."

With the heating, Velvet was a little reluctant to leave the villa, but thinking that a large part of her current situation was thanks to her, and she had promised Alicia to be with her before, she thought about it. I thought about it but stopped the thought of going back on my word.

Anyway, I just went out for a look. I will be back soon, and maybe I can find some clues about this disappearance outside?

"Vilvi, are you ready? We are going out~?"

Alicia had already put on her coat to resist the cold outside.

“You can go at any time~”

Velvet dug around on her body and took out a small pistol. She immediately felt that her sense of security had improved a lot.

The two girls opened the door and left the villa in the wind and snow.

Others in the villa were thinking worriedly. After all, someone was missing. Such a big thing naturally made them uneasy.

Some people were discussing the mastermind behind this incident, and some were discussing whether the missing people were alive or dead. But at this moment, the hostess of the villa, Eden, suddenly thought of something.

"what……"

"Miss Eden, what's wrong?"

Apponia noticed a hesitant expression on Eden's face.

"I seem to have thought of a rumor..."

Eden's tone was slightly trembling, which he never had before.

"A few years ago, a murderer escaped from the largest prison in the city. He killed countless people every winter. He often committed crimes on snowy nights like tonight. But since the police stepped up their efforts, After an intensive search, he disappeared for a while."

"The occurrence of the collapse has destroyed most of the order in this world, so recently, victims like before appeared near our city. The death was miserable, and the time and place of death were exactly the same as before."

"In other words, the person who kidnapped Paduo and Hen's family this time was the murderer who disappeared for a long time?"

Mei, who came over at some point and listened to Eden's narration, rubbed her chin and thought.

"Well, that's probably true."

There was sadness in Eden's tone, "Pado and Hen may have already..."

She didn't continue, but everyone knew what she was going to say.

The howling of the blizzard outside the window became louder, which only increased the uneasiness in everyone's hearts.

"..."

Aponya lowered his eyes, seeming to mourn for Pado who had suffered an accident.

"...Impossible. The murderer is just an ordinary person after all. It's impossible for him to be beaten."

Kevin frowned. He didn't quite believe that his team would be defeated by a murderer who jumped out of nowhere.

"Perhaps the murderer first captured Miss Blanca and Gratio to blackmail him..."

Eden made a guess, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that a mere murderer could kill Hen without anyone noticing.

"We have to be careful. If this is really the case, then every step we take in the future must be cautious and we must not give him any opportunities."

Mei looked at Destobia and Petunia who were still at the stairs on the first floor, "Follow Qianjie and go outside to call Alicia and Velvet back. Don't be left alone."

"Huh? I'm not going."

Destobia and Petunia didn't have any objections, but Qianjie crossed his arms and didn't want to run errands.

"... Then Kevin, go ahead and see if you can find any trace of Mebius and Nozomi on the way."

"Okay, then follow Eden and Aponya and don't leave them." Kevin ordered after receiving the order, and then he, Destobia and Penny became the second batch of people to go out.

"Let's stay in the living room tonight and don't leave alone until dawn." Eden suggested.

"Miss Eden, are there sleeping bags in the villa?"

Apponia watched as several members of the first team had brought a few candles for lighting, while the trio in the laboratory were in front of the fireplace, thinking about how to light the firewood in the fireplace, which was somewhat damp.

"Yes, but it's on the fourth floor."

"I'll get it."

Apponia stood up.

"I'm with you, I can't be alone."

"No, Miss Eden, you have to stay to protect Miss Mei and the others. Among these people, you are the only one with the most powerful ability."

"Is that so... Okay, then you must go and come back quickly." Eden thought of Aponya's very useful mental ability to deal with humans, and said nothing more.

"Ah."

At the same time, in front of the fireplace, Danzhu and Cangxuan finally found a few dry firewood in a pile of damp firewood. They piled them together, and then Klein, who was holding a lighter, was responsible for lighting the fire.

boom---!

A flame brighter than a few small candles lit up, illuminating the faces of the few people in the living room.

"Huh? Where are the others?"

Only then did Danzhu realize that the originally bustling living room was suddenly missing many people.

"They are all preparing to spend the night tonight and find out the truth."

Cang Xuan also heard the rumors about the murderer that Eden just mentioned. Goosebumps arose, and he got closer to Klein next to him.

"Doctor doesn't know what's going on now..."

Klein was still thinking about Mebius, wondering whether she was being targeted by the murderer or was hiding with Nozomi.

"The murderer..."

Cang Xuan looked at the only remaining fusion warrior in the living room. Eden was sitting on the sofa accompanying Mei and Ling. He made up his mind to follow each other closely. She would follow Eden wherever he went.

At the same time, Su, Kosmo and Sakura, who had been patrolling from the second floor to the fourth floor, stopped outside a room. Su pulled the door handle and found it was locked.

Several people looked at each other and made a decision.

At this point, if it was just a simple damage to the door, Eden would forgive them, right?

Bang————!

Kicking open the door, Su and Kosmo burst in, but found no one inside.

Su came to the only window in this room. He didn't need to open his eyes and said directly: "It's locked from behind."

In other words, no one jumped out of the window.

So what's going on in this secret room?

Was it the unknown intruder who was hiding here before, or... someone else?
