Chapter 184 The Man in Black Robe
Just when he subconsciously controlled the black tentacles condensed into octopus-like tentacles as auxiliary limbs to help him move, he suddenly discovered that the strong mental exhaustion and weakness had disappeared.
Although he didn't think of this situation, but there was no time for Yago to think carefully, he immediately acted, and the black tentacles woven with black threads derived from the gatekeeper's mask grabbed the ground, making him look like a land octopus , and quickly hid in the corridor on the left. At the same time, he stretched out a black silk thread to extinguish the flame of the lantern.
Squeak——
The moment the flame extinguished like a bubble burst, the door was pushed open, and several figures walked into the door with the sound of conversation.
Yagoben, who was hiding in the corridor, wanted to back away, but the sound of conversation made him stop in his tracks——
"...Don't worry, we've been squatting for a day, and there is no one in this room."
"The team member of the Thorn Tree lives in the business district. There is no one in this house. There is only one old servant in such a big house, and he ran away."
"Hurry up, search quickly, take away all the extraordinary materials and books in the house, and go to the basement, and leave before dawn."
Hearing this, Yago's tentacles formed by the intertwined black silk threads squirmed slightly, clenched into fists like palms.
After that old voice sounded, there was no answer, but the sound of walking came from the direction of the hall.
Among them, there is the creaking sound of wooden boards after stepping on the stairs, and there is also the sound of walking away from another passage.
However, there were also footsteps coming towards the corridor where Yago was.
Without hesitation, Yago took a few steps back, and while retracting the tentacles woven with black silk thread silently, he retreated into the servant hall.
Walking towards Yago's position was a not tall man wrapped in a black robe.
Although she couldn't see her face, she shouldn't be a woman judging from her flat chest.
There was no place to hide in the servant hall, and Yago just retreated to the corner and did not act anymore.
Judging from the previous situation, after wearing the gatekeeper mask, he couldn't see it.
Can't even see it with Spirit Vision.
When he was feeling uneasy, the skinny man wrapped in a black robe didn't seem to notice anything, except for a glance at the lantern Yago took to the corridor, until he walked in front of Yago, he was left and right. The normal attitude of waiting and watching.
Because of this Yago could see his face clearly, it was a middle-aged man with two beautiful mustaches.
There was no movement, Yago did nothing but observe him.
After passing in front of Yago, he still didn't change anything, as if he didn't notice Yago, he walked towards the direction of the butler's room and the housekeeper's room with the door open.
"I really can't see it."
While talking to himself, Yago carefully moved to the center of the road and looked towards the location of the hall.
Glancing back at the man in black robe who had entered the butler's room, Yago, who made sure that he would not be found, returned to the hall along the corridor.
Through the moonlight falling from the open door, Yago saw an old man with tawny hair mixed with gray and wearing the same black robe as the others.
Because the hood had been taken off, Yago could clearly see his appearance.
Yago didn't act or leave immediately, he just stood there, found a location that he rarely passed by when moving in all directions, stood there quietly, and watched the old man rummage through the hall in an orderly manner with.
One of the few things Yago brought, the umbrella with tentacles sticking out was placed in front of the stairs.
He hung it there when he came down.
The old man didn't seem to have the means to directly detect the mysterious objects. When he found the stairs one by one, he immediately noticed the black umbrella.
The old man with short tawny hair mixed with gray, like before, habitually grabbed the black umbrella and opened it.
Then--
Water like rain sprayed out from the umbrella, and tentacles stretched out from the umbrella, grabbing at the old man.
However, at this moment, Yago saw the old man dodge and dodge with a flexible posture that was completely out of age, and threw the black umbrella out before the tentacles grabbed his palm.
At the same time, he turned sideways, jumped with his right hand, and quickly turned to the side amidst the sound of the wind brought by the black robe, and quickly popped out a dagger-like short knife from the cuff of his right hand. the sharp edge.
On the sharp blade, there are complicated characters engraved, and patterns are decorated around it.
It looks like an assassin often seen in various games.
In the vigilance that Yago could clearly feel, the old man waited and watched the umbrella whose tentacles disappeared because the umbrella cover was closed.
Just a few seconds later, with the sound of light footsteps, a figure quickly rolled down from the corner of the stairs.
And in the corridors on both sides, a person sprang out almost at the same time.
The handsome bearded man Yago saw before was among them.
Observing the old man's actions, the three of them immediately confirmed that the old man's vigilant object was the umbrella. Except for the fact that the man who fell down from above retreated quickly due to the impact of the falling point, the other two stood in place and shared the same relationship with the old man. The umbrella kept the distance and did not move.
At this time, Yago saw that the old man raised his chin slightly as a signal, and the man in black robe who had just turned down from upstairs stepped forward, opened the umbrella with obvious hesitation, and then quickly backed away.
However, no tentacles appear.
Seeing this scene, the old man's brows were obviously frowned, and the other people who were facing the umbrella seemed a little puzzled even though they couldn't see their expressions.
The four looked at the umbrella vigilantly, and after a few tens of seconds, the person who opened the umbrella stepped forward again.
However, just as he reached out to grab it, a bunch of tentacles stretched out from under the umbrella again and grabbed the man.
With quick eyes and quick hands, a sharp blade popped out of the cuff of the man in black robe, quickly cut off a tentacle, and then backed away.
However, after the tentacle was cut off, it exploded into a transparent liquid and spread to pieces on the ground.
However, the tentacles did not continue to attack. After those tentacles stretched out, they just closed the umbrella.
Next, under the watchful eyes of Yago, several people made several tentative opening movements, cut off the tentacles after they stretched out, and watched the tentacles fold and close the umbrella again and again, as if they had figured out the situation and did not try again He opened the umbrella, but found a rope to tie the umbrella tightly, and placed the umbrella in the center of the hall.
After this action, which seemed to be placing trophies, several people searched separately again.
But Yago pondered for a moment, and aimed at the man in black robe who walked towards the butler's room again, and the black silk thread surged.
"This is my home."
