"Do you need me to recommend a hotel that has cooperation with the police station? At least if you stay there, you shouldn't have to worry about being disturbed by similar things."

After dealing with the group of gang members, the police officer who had been talking to Karl took the initiative to speak.

Before Carl knew that the dead person he witnessed was the deputy chief of police, he might have agreed.

But after learning about this, he always felt that the person in front of him was a little too familiar.

“No!”

Directly rejecting the other party's proposal, Carl waved to Hope and walked towards the hotel they had stayed in before, saying, "We plan to stay in a higher-level area, so we won't bother you police station with this matter."

In Sarn, the higher you live, the less you have to worry about public security.

Therefore, the reason why Carl was in danger this time was simply because he spent less money.

If he stayed in a five-star hotel, the killer might not even be able to get in.

"Well, I wish you all a happy next few days."

The police officer said goodbye to Carl with a somewhat stiff expression. A trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and then he went back to deal with the case with his colleagues with a warm smile.

Back at the hotel, Carl and Hope packed their things and checked out.

The hotel manager's attitude towards the attack was a bit strange, but he eventually returned Carl's money and gave him a little compensation for mental damage.

Carl didn't refuse and took Hope directly to a higher area.

After asking some passers-by, the two of them checked into a hotel that had a strong background just by looking at its appearance.

"Hello, welcome to the Golden Dragon Hotel, which is a chain of the Dragon Pattern Family throughout the continent. We will provide you with a home-like service. What type of room do you need?"

The Golden Dragon Inn opened by the Dragon Mark Family is almost all over the world, even in Karl's hometown, Vana.

If you cause trouble here, you will inevitably run into the Twelve Dragon Pattern Family.

Although it is called a hotel, it is even more magnificent than an ordinary palace. Carl wanted a standard room, but it was full.

"If you two don't mind, we also have a king-size bed room that's the same model as the standard room. The price is the same, but it only has one bed."

"Okay, then we'll take this one. We'll book it for eight days later."

"Oh, are you going to take the lightning train on that day? We have an elevator that goes directly to the lightning train station. Please show your tickets and we will notify you two hours before departure."

It is said that entertaining people from the Dragon Mark Family is good at doing business, and Carl has experienced it today.

After showing the other party the tickets, Carl and Hope were led to the room by a waiter.

"Ah~, how could this happen to us? We just wanted to visit Sharn and then take the Lightning Train back to Eruden."

After putting the luggage into the guest room, Hope collapsed directly on the big bed in the middle of the bedroom.

The soft bed bounced her up, and Karl's mind automatically imagined the sound of "boyou~boyou".

But after hearing what Hope said, Carl immediately remembered something.

"Oh! That's right! I haven't sent letters to my parents and school yet!"

Taking the envelope out of his backpack, Carl quickly ran out of the guest room and caught up with the waiter.

After learning that Carl wanted to send a letter to Eruden, the waiter took Carl to the mailing office on the first floor.

Hotel waiters usually do not deliver personal items such as letters on behalf of guests unless the guests so request.

After buying stamps at the mailing office, Carl watched the postal employee stationed there seal the letter with wax, and then prepared to return to his room.

But before he could go upstairs, Hope came over.

"Karl, I heard there's a hot spring here, how about we go take a dip?"

Wearing a bathrobe, Hope begged Carl with great interest.

It was rare that Hope wanted to experience it, so Carl didn't say much and followed Hope directly to the hot spring pool.

I don’t know if everyone is still staying in bed at this time, but there is no one in the hot spring pool. Carl and Hope have luxuriously “booked the whole place”.

"Hey! Carl, there's no one here~"

Seeing that there was no one around, Hope suddenly hugged Carl from behind.

The big red tail wrapped around Carl's calves and climbed up.

Carl could clearly feel Hope's moist breath on his ears, and that pair of exaggerated pectoral muscles were now completely pressed against Carl's back, being pressed into two pancakes.

Before Carl could say anything, Hope grabbed Carl's arm and began to move down.

“Bang!”

At this moment, Karl grabbed the pair of arms directly.

“Huh~”

After taking a deep breath, Karl turned his head, his eyes clear and calm.

"I've heard that changelings can change their appearance and voice at will. Today I've really seen it."

After breaking free from "Hope's" arms, Carl let go of the other's hand and distanced himself from the other.

"How did you find out?"

Seeing that Carl had seen through him, the phantom spirit impersonating Hope admitted it directly and openly.

"Ha, you may not understand what Hope and I have been through together. She would never seduce me in this way."

"Couldn't it be that she just learned this? You stinky men should like this tune very much."

Running his fingers lightly over the swimsuit, the changeling twirled the strings, as if trying to rip them open.

"What on earth are you doing here?"

The other party’s actions made Karl’s brows gradually frown, and there was a hint of emotion in his voice.

"We hope you can give evidence to the police."

"Prove what?"

"The person who proved to be at the crime scene was the police officer who spoke to you earlier."

The phantom spirit stopped what he was doing, crossed his arms over his chest, and transformed into another graceful woman in front of Carl.

Without waiting for Karl to answer, she said to herself:

"This matter may be more complicated than you think. In fact, it involves the struggle between the current king of Breland and the parliament."

This statement was something Carl had not expected. At first, he just thought that this incident was similar to the plot in "Infernal Affairs".

"I'm not so blind as to believe everything others say. Where's the evidence?"

"Tsk! You actually want to ask someone for evidence in this matter? If I had evidence, I wouldn't have to worry now!"

The phantom smacked its lips and looked as if it was sighing.

"Our king does not want to give up everything he has now and wants to further control the power of the country. To this end, he has connections with the Knights of the Emerald Claw and many other organizations."

"According to the information I found, they are currently building a supernatural machine underground in Sharn, and are trying to use it in Sharn to turn all the residents here into undead, and then become the king's army."
