Chapter 15 The monster behind the screen

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Rosen felt a familiar tremor in his mind, and several streams of information quickly flashed through his mind.

"Successfully created a new spell: Mage Musket."

"Spell power rating: low level and inferior."

"This spell has been successfully included in "Rosen's Spell Book" and can be activated and run at any time."

‘Hoo~~’

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense mind that had been tense all afternoon relaxed: "I guessed it right, that's great!"

A single low-level spell was certainly not enough to completely reverse the fate of the caged canary, but it gave him a fighting chance when facing life-threatening danger.

From now on, when I pretend to be smart and act a fool, I will have this confidence in my heart, so I don't have to be trembling all the time, and I can be more calm.

Feeling a little tired, I lay down on the carpet by the fire to rest.

About an hour later, familiar footsteps came from outside the door. The sound was not heavy, but it seemed a bit slow and weak.

The three women fell back limply, but because there was a wall behind them and the three bodies supported each other, they did not fall down. They just sat against the wall, as if they were asleep.

'Da~da~da~click!'

It was already nearly eight o'clock at night, and there were not many guests in the hall. They were all sitting sparsely, most of them drinking, and everyone's eyes were very blurred.

What's even more strange is that the movement was so small that no footsteps could be heard, so that the drinkers in the hall were not aware of it. Even Joss, who was behind the counter and was concentrating on settling accounts, was not disturbed.

But in the end, he still didn't run, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't know where to run.

Rosen did not respond, his body remained motionless, his breathing became lighter and slower, pretending to be asleep.

He saw that the short and fat man smiled slightly, and then moved his hands like lightning, gently pressing the sides of the necks of the three nightingales.

Its arms have transformed into two sharp knives, and the blades are covered with barbs. The body is like a human, but it is also covered with dense scales. It cannot be seen further down, covered by blood.

‘Click~’

Rosen found an inconspicuous corner and sat down.

Rosen slowly retreated and lay down on the carpet by the fire.

The door of the hotel was pushed open, and the cold wind outside carried a few snowflakes and rushed in, causing several drinkers near the door to curse in a low voice.

At this moment, Rosen heard the footsteps again with his ears pressed against the floor. It was very, very soft. If his ears weren't pressed against the floor, he wouldn't have heard it at all.

"ah!"

The last sound was the sound of the door opening, coming from the next door, which was also inaudible.

Rosen still didn't know what happened, but it was definitely not something good.

After touching it for a while, he opened the bottom drawer of the suitcase, took out a few books inside, and then stuffed the black metal box into the bottom drawer.

Rosen was even more shocked, but he didn't dare to explore without permission.

Rosen clearly saw that he took out a palm-sized, flat, black metal box from his arms, and gently stroked the complex lines on the surface of the box, his movements as gentle as touching the skin of a lover.

'Are you hurt?'

He didn't dare to look any further, so he closed his eyes and continued to lie on the floor and doze off.

Rosen gritted his teeth, got up from the floor, and shouted twice at the screen: "Miss Lilith? Miss Lilith? Are you in there?"

But she couldn't scream out in the end.

"No need to do anything! No need to say anything! Just stay there!"

This series of movements seems slow but is actually fast, showing a dexterity that is completely inconsistent with the fat figure.

'He's a master!'

Rosen didn't stay long and immediately left the room and trotted all the way to the lobby on the first floor.

Soon, Jos brought the food to the table. Rosen was very hungry, so he stopped thinking about it and started eating.

‘Click~’

After doing all this, Cyrus clapped his hands with satisfaction, took the spell notes, and began to study them carefully.

Although he looks like a monster, at least he has not lost his humanity and can make sense.

Rosen was chewing wheat cakes. After hearing the noise, he subconsciously raised his head to check.

He saw a man wearing a black bearskin cloak standing by the door. He had big eyes, a big nose, a big mouth, and a hedgehog-like beard.

'It's really uneasy to be in the same room with such a monster. I might as well go to the first floor to eat.'

Another voice came from behind the screen.

"What happened?"

Seeing the other party's behavior, Rosen calmed down.

"Are you a good person? Haha, idiot!" A low voice murmured from behind the screen.

She is not very tall, probably just over 1.6 meters tall, but she is fat and strong, especially her big belly, which is bigger than that of a woman who is six or seven months pregnant.

Rosen also saw the deep joy on his thin cheeks, and the uncontrollable heat in his gray eyes.

The door closed again, and Lilith's gentle call came from the door: "Rosen~Rosen~"

On the contrary, the three nightingales in the corner looked very energetic and their eyes did not seem to blink.

The shouting stopped, and footsteps came, bypassing Rosen's feet and walking straight towards the bathroom behind the screen.

‘Clang!’

After that, there was no movement behind the screen, but the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

Judging from his calm and relaxed appearance, it was as if he had been staying in his room all afternoon.

He did not dare to overstimulate the other party and immediately retreated behind the screen: "Miss Lilith, what can I do for you?"

The sound of ladles scooping water came from behind the screen, and Lilith seemed to be washing her body.

"You can continue to sleep. If you are hungry, go to the hall to find Joss. He will prepare dinner for you. But remember, don't say anything related to me!"

Rosen immediately turned his head slightly, opened his eyes, looked at the mirror on the opposite side of the wall, summoned the "Adventure Diary" attentively, and carefully observed the situation in the room opposite.

"Jos, I'd like a side of potato stew and four meatloaf."

Thinking of this, Rosen jumped up and said, "Miss Lilith, I'm going to have something to eat on the first floor."

One step, two steps, three steps. Finally bypassed the screen.

Then he stuffed the books back one by one, leaving only one spell notebook outside, and finally locked the drawer.

‘Wow~Wow~~’

At the end of the sentence, the tone was extremely harsh.

There was no response, and there was dead silence behind the screen.

I saw the 'big black bear' suddenly taking a few big steps forward, crossing a distance of five or six meters as if teleporting, and came to the screaming nightingale, with one hand already on the other's neck.

He forced the scream from his mouth back into his throat.

But then he discovered that the expressions of the three nightingales in the corner suddenly changed, and one of them even couldn't control himself and wanted to scream.

"Miss Lilith? Miss Lilith? Is that you? Are you okay?"

"I remember, Miss Lilith."

'No, that's not right. He's not dead. He's still breathing. He probably just fainted.'

"No problem, just find an empty seat and sit. It'll be there soon."

He asked softly: "Miss Lilith, is that you?"

The moaning continued for a while, then suddenly stopped, and then there was another "dong" sound, as if something heavy hit the wooden board.

"Go ahead, but don't tell anyone about me, do you understand?!"

This monster has the same head as Lilith, but its skin is blue-black and covered with insect-like horny scales.

There is a bathtub behind the screen. The bathtub is mostly filled with water. No, it should be a mixture of blood and water, and in the blood and water, there is a monster lying!

Although he had seen various monsters in movies in his previous life, Rosen still couldn't bear it when they actually appeared in front of him, and he had a strong urge to run away.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.

But soon, he saw Cyrus carrying a suitcase near the wooden table and placed the suitcase on the table.

When Lilith saw Rosen, she screamed and immediately shrank into the blood. However, it seemed that she touched the wound by doing so, and she screamed in pain uncontrollably, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Because of the angle, he couldn't see the whole room at first, only some changes in light and shadow.

After the 'Big Black Bear' knocked out three nightingales, he walked towards the counter and said with a smile: "Get a room, I want to stay."

"Ah, don't look at me! Don't look at me! I'm very ugly."

When something like this happened, Rosen couldn't think of sleeping, but his stomach was indeed hungry, and he growled loudly, reminding him to quickly replenish food.
