Chapter 370 Loading the Cargo!

They chatted all the way and soon arrived at Lilith's room.

Chu Li realized that although he loved Yueyue equally, whether she could move or not, and had the same affection for her, he still wished she could speak.

He was content with her remaining still during the day, but he was even more excited when she responded to him.

Jiang Liyue was unaware of the complicated thoughts in Chu Li's mind; she was currently looking towards Lilith's room door.

After Chu Li took her for a stroll around the manor during the day, Jiang Liyue had a general idea of ​​the manor's layout.

Lilith's room was actually more centrally located than Miss Pera's, and it was also some distance away from Miss Pera's room.

According to Chu Li, those with greater power and higher status in the manor will have their rooms located closer to the center and their territories larger.

Just like Chu Li, who occupied the very center area by himself, and no one else in the manor was allowed to set foot there.

Therefore, judging from the location of the room, it can be seen that Lilith is stronger than Miss Pera and has more people's affection for her.

However, Lilith's doorknob was covered in dust, and there were cobwebs in the corner, indicating that no one had been there for a long time.

Jiang Liyue took out a master key to unlock the door, while Chu Li helped her push the door open.

The room was completely dark, so Jiang Liyue asked Chu Li to turn on the wall lamp first.

With the wall lamps and candlesticks lit, Jiang Liyue was finally able to see what Lilith's room looked like.

Like the doorknob, the room was now covered in dust.

But you can vaguely tell what kind of personality the owner has.

Compared to Miss Pera's room, which resembled a fairytale world, Lilith's room was more like a workspace.

Besides a small bed for sleeping, the most eye-catching thing in the room is a large table, which is covered with various fabrics and semi-finished or finished rag dolls.

Besides dolls, the bookshelf also contained glass bottles filled with human limbs preserved in a special solvent.

It's a bit like Chu Li's hobby in a certain instance, which she remembered was deliberately ruined by her back then.

Jiang Liyue guessed that these people were probably used as experimental subjects or models by Lilith.

Because next to those limbs were identical dolls made of cloth.

It seems that the owner of this place once sewed identical replacements for the limbs inside the container, comparing them to the original.

Based on what Miss Pera said last night, is Lilith researching how to turn humans into dolls?

Jiang Liyue was surprised to learn that it was done in such a "scientific" way; she had assumed the research involved some kind of mystical method, such as curses, magic, or witchcraft...

Chu Li glanced at the room with interest, surprisingly refraining from direct disparagement: "There's actually someone with such ideas in the manor; that's quite a hobby."

However, he then added, "It's just too low-level. All they have are ideas but no ability. They're just stupid bugs."

Jiang Liyue: ...It really is you.

That's just right.

"What are you doing here, Yueyue? Do you want to have a few specimens too?" Chu Li was a little reluctant. "No, Yueyue already has me, doesn't she?"

"What does Yueyue want with these stinky, filthy things?"

He then began to relentlessly belittle them again.

Jiang Liyue was both amused and exasperated: "Why would I collect this kind of thing?"

She may be a bit perverted, but that doesn't mean she has the same weird hobby as collecting human remains.

It would be more appropriate to keep Chu Li as a specimen; what's the point of having anyone else...?

Chu Li blinked: "Then what is Yueyue doing on this road?"

What's so special about this small, run-down place that she would make a special trip to, and even call it "playing"?

Seeing Chu Li's puzzled look, Jiang Liyue was truly certain that her boss didn't care about important matters at all.

Otherwise, how could they not even know what this dungeon is about?

What role does he play in this manor? Probably to deter other strange entities and keep them in order.

He didn't care at all about the details of the contents of these copies.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be unaware of Lilith's existence or Miss Pera's background.

But even though he knew Jiang Liyue had things to do that night, he didn't ask any questions and just brought her over.

The main focus is on being obedient.

"I'm here to find someone." Jiang Liyue had no choice but to explain her purpose for coming here. "Miss Pera told me that her friend went missing in the manor, so I wanted to come to her room to see what was going on."

Chu Li wanted to say that there was nothing strange about someone going missing. In the manor, if he wanted someone to disappear, it would be a piece of cake.

Why is Yueyue helping to find him? Is that person very important to her?

Chu Li cannot accept the existence of someone important to Jiang Liyue.

He even secretly thought that no matter whether Lilith was really missing or already dead, he would make her disappear completely.

His expression was cold and his eyes were gloomy; Jiang Liyue didn't need to guess what he was thinking.

She went on to explain, "Lilith is not important to me; it's just a game."

Chu Li blinked: "A game?"

"Yes, don't you think it's interesting? People who suddenly disappear are like a detective game. I just thought it was fun, so I wanted to come and see." Jiang Liyue lied without batting an eye.

"What's the point of just wandering around the manor? I just want to have fun."

Seeing the glint in her eyes, Chu Li easily believed her words.

Without a second thought, he said, "If you're looking for someone, I can help you; you'll find them quickly."

"No!" Jiang Liyue refused without even thinking.

Chu Li was displeased: "Why?"

Jiang Liyue explained matter-of-factly, "I already said it's a detective game. If I let you find it directly, what's the difference between that and cheating?"

Jiang Liyue knew exactly how sharp Chu Li's nose was.

The entire estate was his territory.

Even if Lilith were still in the manor, merely turned into a doll, or even if she were buried dozens of meters underground, Chu Li could easily find her if he wanted to.

Jiang Liyue had no doubt about Chu Li's abilities.

This is also why she has always refused his interference in her mission.

What's the difference between letting him interfere and playing a hacked version of a game?

However, Jiang Liyue noticed that he seemed a little unhappy about being rejected.

She immediately started showering him with compliments with a beaming smile: "I only didn't let you get involved because I knew you were too capable."

"The point of a game is to explore it yourself. You can't cheat, but you can protect me."

"Chu Li, I always feel especially at ease when you are by my side."

Chu Li, who had been wearing a cold expression, revealed a faint smile, almost like a pixel.

Jiang Liyue noticed this and squinted her eyes with amusement.
