Go through the plot and collapse again

Chapter 176 180: Mouse
The night was not very peaceful.

The matter of Tiger going back to the room alone was like a sharp knife, hanging over Ma Haohao's head.She was almost sure that the person who died tonight would be Tiger.

There are 7 sleeping bags in the study, and they are spread side by side in the middle of two rows of bookshelves, and it doesn't look too crowded.

Rob and Eric are still arguing over Camilla's death, lobbying everyone to believe their words.

"Why doesn't Tiger come to the study? It's because he feels guilty! He knows that he has wronged me, so he doesn't dare to face it." Rob analyzed plausibly.

His guess was completely opposite to Tiger's real thoughts. According to Tiger and August, he was unwilling to move to sleep in the study because he didn't want to be in the same room with the murderer.

"Come on, the possibility of him daring to face you is even smaller than the possibility of him destroying the evidence." Vera said.

Rob's eyes lit up, "He didn't really want to destroy the evidence, did he? I knew that he was the murderer! We should go and catch him!"

As long as he is not suspected of being the murderer, Rob is happy to pin the crime on anyone.

It doesn't matter if it's Eric or Tiger, whatever, as long as it doesn't have to be him!

August defended Tiger, "No, no, Tiger doesn't look like that kind of person. He should be too sad. After all, the person he liked died, right?"

When he said "the person he likes", his eyes turned to Vera, and he quickly looked back.

Rob was discouraged by his words and turned his head in disapproval.

Eric kicked over the backpack next to the sleeping bag, "Augus, what do you mean?! Tiger is not like a murderer, and Rob and I are like murderers, right?"

He is a firecracker that can be ignited at any time, and no one knows when it will hit his explosive point.

Augus was inexplicably confused. He just wanted to say something for Tiger: "Eric, you know I didn't mean this. In my opinion, none of you will kill Camilla."

Only then did Eric sit down on the sleeping bag again, still angry: "It's nice to say, no one will kill Camilla? We didn't kill them. Could it be like Rui said, it's a ghost murder?"

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew up from nowhere in the study, causing several people to tremble involuntarily.

Rob's voice changed, "...how could it be a ghost. Eric, are you also infected by Rui?"

"Why is it impossible?" Eric sneered at full strength, "There have been so many murders in this house, at least four people have died. The vice president of the Supernatural Research Society, you don't believe in the existence of ghosts, do you?" ?”

Rob was speechless by what he said and had to quiet down.

The topic of ghosts made everyone silent, only Vera remained calm: "It doesn't have to be ghosts."

"In this house, since we came in, there may have been a ninth person. It wasn't any of us who killed Camilla, but the ninth person in the castle."

Vera said: "If this is the case, then Tiger will be in danger tonight."

The light of the flashlight has been extinguished. Hearing such an analysis in the dark makes people feel hairy, and the sound of heartbeat and breathing is out of control together.

Ma lay comfortably in the sleeping bag, and heard Vera's analysis by accident.

The heroine's analysis is the same as that written in the book.

At the beginning of the incident, Vera was more willing to believe that there was a ninth person in the castle who killed their companions than ghosts.

Her guess couldn't be said to be outrageously wrong. There were indeed "people" besides them, but this person had been dead for a long time.

Mahao was impatient, but he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.If Vera is not allowed to see the existence of ghosts with her own eyes, she will never believe what ghosts say.

As the night fell heavily, Ma Haohao was not the only one suffering from insomnia.

The sound of the sleeping bag rubbing against the clothes rang intermittently in the study, and Ma Hao could hear the unsteady breathing around him.

She closed her eyes and adjusted her breath listening to August's light snoring.The only one who can fall asleep without stress on such a night is their silly, sweet and innocent male lead.

Well-developed limbs and a simple mind are sometimes not a bad thing.

Ma Hao curled up her limbs, and was about to calm down and fall asleep, when suddenly there was a "dong dong" sound from the ceiling.

Her eyes that had just been closed opened immediately, without a trace of sleepiness in her eyes.

"What voice?" Someone spoke in the dark, and it was Eric.

His voice was loud and rough, waking up everyone who had fallen into light sleep.

"Boom--thump-thump-thump-"

The sound continued, coming from the third floor.There is no pattern, one after another.

Rob woke up completely frightened, and asked stammeringly, "Is...is that the murderer?"

Vera shook her head, "Not sure. It's the same sound as last night. Rob, didn't you find any traces when you went to the third floor today?"

Her words made Eric laugh: "What can he find out, didn't you hear Tiger? Rob was upstairs with Camilla all afternoon—"

"Eric, stop talking, there is a lady here." Ogus woke up at some point and hurriedly interrupted Eric's next words.

But what Eric will say later, when it comes to this level, everyone understands.

"..." Rob rarely refuted, and he couldn't refute the facts in Eric's mouth, he just said, "I didn't find it."

"Well, that might just be the rat on the third floor."

Vera was a little discouraged, "We can't prove that this voice has something to do with the murderer. After all, Camilla and Tiger's rooms are on the second floor, aren't they?"

As soon as she came to her conclusion, the voice from the third floor disappeared.

However, the abnormal noise did not end, followed by the sound of clanging and colliding metal in the corridor on the second floor.

"Bang dang- bang dang-"

The voice went from far to near, and at the end it sounded like it was outside the door of the study!
"Could it be the sound of a mouse..." Rob's teeth chattered uncontrollably, and he pressed against August's strong arm that was holding him tightly.

Eric said, "It must be Tiger outside the door! Tiger, this bastard, what does he want to do? Break Rob's skull with an iron rod, that's really nice to hear."

"Don't make noise, listen!" Vera stopped the two of them in a low voice.

The room fell silent, listening carefully to what the voice outside the door wanted to do.

"Bang dang- bang dang-"

Eric said "iron rod" is indeed very appropriate, the sound can only be reminiscent of a stick-shaped metal weight, hitting the floor one after another.

Ma clenched her palms tightly. She believed that others were the same, and they were ready to be kicked out. Augus and Eric even got up and took a defensive posture.

However, the sound at the door suddenly disappeared, and only the rapid breathing of each other could be heard around.

"What are you doing?" An unwavering voice sounded in the darkness.
