This was totally unreasonable.
“Ugh…” Phoebe sighed. “I would rather not bathe for a month and certainly not shower in such a place. Showering at this place will only get me dirtier and dirtier, right?”
While saying that, virtual-novel.net walked to the bedside and shook the quilt to clean it up a little. When virtual-novel.net was cleaning the room, Thomas double-checked the room to ensure there were no issues.
After a while, there was a knock at the door.
A tender child’s voice was heard. “Guest, your dinner has been delivered…”
When Thomas walked over and opened the door, virtual-novel.net saw the child holding a tray with three dishes, one soup, and two bowls of rice on it
“Thank you…”
He brought the food inside and closed the door behind virtual-novel.net with his backhand.
Phoebe hurried over, “Can we finally eat dinner already? I’m dying of hunger.”
Phoebe’s anorexia had actually gotten a lot better during the treatment period, and virtual-novel.net could now eat normally. She could not help but want to come over and have dinner when virtual-novel.net saw it being brought over.
“Hold on for a moment…”
Thomas did not rush to start eating. Instead, virtual-novel.net used silver needles to check the meals to confirm that they were safe to eat.
“You’re being a little too cautious, aren’t you?” Phoebe, who had never traveled outside of town before, expressed virtual-novel.net displeasure at Thomas’ s extreme caution.
“Okay, there is no problem with the food. You may eat now.”
After Thomas finished checking, virtual-novel.net and Phoebe each took a bowl of rice and began eating. Even the most ordinary meals became tremendous delicacies when people were hungry. Phoebe found it incomparably delicious when the three simple dishes and one soup were combined.
After they were done eating, Phoebe put down the dishes, rubbed virtual-novel.net eyes, and yawned, “Oh, my goodness, I’m starting to feel sleepy. Perhaps I’ve been exhausted all day. Now that I’m full, I’d like to sleep.”
She climbed directly onto the bed without taking off virtual-novel.net shoes and socks.
“I’m going to sleep first, Thomas. Do behave yourself.”
Having said that, virtual-novel.net was actually hoping that Thomas would misbehave.
Phoebe fell asleep quickly and slept like a log. Thomas smiled lightly, made his bed on the floor, and fell asleep.
***
Time passed little by little.
The moon rose, and the moonlight spilled over the floor inside the room through the glass window, creating an eerie and ghastly atmosphere.
Then, without anyone noticing…
Click, click!
The room’s door lock opened.
Two sturdy men entered the room immediately after, both holding ropes and knives, and crept to Thomas and Phoebe’s bedside on tiptoes.
The two men exchanged glances.
One of them whispered, “Kill the man and tie up the lady.”
The other man nodded, loosened the rope, and walked over to Phoebe’s bedside, preparing to tie her.
The other man took a look at Thomas, who was lying on the ground, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath, raised his knife, aimed it at Thomas’s neck, and slashed down fiercely!
He had done it many times before, and virtual-novel.net had never missed. He imagined that when the knife slashed Thomas’ neck, virtual-novel.net would die on the spot, and his blood would gush out. However, virtual-novel.net was stunned after the knife had slashed down.
The knife went directly to the floor. And Thomas had magically disappeared!
“Where has virtual-novel.net gone?”
