The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL] Chapter 820

LUO YAN continued on with his interview with Cian. He asked him about some basic stuffs before asking him about Saunders. Just trying to confirm the things that Mrs. Gilmore said about the other.

The only thing that Cian said was that Saunders was indeed not very close with the other servants and that he would also make derisive remarks towards others from time to time. Proving some of the points that Mrs. Gilmore said about the other. It also supported what the head maid said about him.

Considering how opposite that was of how he acted when he met Luo Yan at the station, it kind of already explained just what kind of character Saunders had. The fact that William Harcourt asked Saunders back to work for him again was definitely not because of the other’s stellar personality.

At this point, Luo Yan had already established a pretty good theory on what really happened 20 years ago. He just lacked some key information. Some of which would probably be provided by his cinnamon roll.

Now it’s time to end this interview.

“Please tell everyone that they could go to their rooms and rest,” Luo Yan told the young butler before the other left the study.

Cian nodded at him, then a look of hesitation flashed on the young butler’s face. “The killer, they’re still here, right? Would we- would we be alright?”

“Don’t worry, I don’t think they would try anything so soon after what they just did. But do tell everyone to try not to be alone as much as possible,” Luo Yan said.

That seemed to comfort the young man, even if just a little. “Okay!”

The other finally walked out of the study.

Luo Yan was glad that Cian didn’t ask why he couldn’t just tell those to the others himself. He couldn’t exactly just say to him that he just didn’t want to deal with those NPCs who would definitely bombard him with question. The image of this role he’s playing would definitely collapse in Cian’s mind.

He stretched out his arms while cracking his neck. It’s finally over. Interviewing that many people, even if all of these were only virtual, he still felt a bit tired. Or to be more accurate, his brain was giving him the illusion of being tired.

Really, what a terrifying dungeon.

The fact that the way they perceived time here was different in real life was already magical in a sense. If this technology was further improved on, maybe a new type of game could be produced. If he was working at Moonlight Media right now, he would definitely make a proposal about that.

Anyway, he might as well take a quick nap. Since this game was tricking him that he was tired, then it’s better to just give in and rest for a bit. That way, his brain would be able to think better.

But first, he had to make sure that no one would suddenly enter the study while he’s taking his nap. If someone decided to kill him off while he’s sleeping, he could ‘die’ and this task would be considered a big failure.

He first locked the door, as well as the windows. Then, he searched every nook and cranny of the study for any hidden passageways. Thankfully, he didn’t find one. All of that took almost 30 minutes to do. By the time he was finished, the tiredness was really getting to him.

So, he walked towards the couch and finally laid down. He closed his eyes and it didn’t even take a minute before he thoroughly fell asleep.

—–

Luo Yan felt a piercing gaze staring at his face. He was slowly leaving the state of sleep. Even though his eyes were still closed, he felt something trying to reach out to him. So, he instinctively grasped it and pulled it to himself.

That’s when he heard a gasp and something soft falling on his chest. He opened his eyes then.

What he saw was an extremely beautiful face that was only a few inches away from his own. The face had a lovely blush which made its owner much more attractive.

It was the lovely and charming ‘Sofia’.

Luo Yan stopped the smile that was about to cross his face and just continued acting half-asleep. He leaned a bit forward, making the tips of their nose touch.

“You smell so good,” he said, making his voice intentionally hoarse.

The other seemed to be electrified by that little movement that ‘she’ forcefully took back ‘her’ hand and abruptly stood up. The blush on ‘her’ face became even redder.

Really, what a lovely person.

Luo Yan then pretended as if he just fully woke up. He slowly sat up from the couch he was sleeping in. Then he looked at ‘Sofia’ as if he only noticed ‘her’ now, completely showing a confused look.

“Sofia? What are you doing here? No, how did you manage to get in first?” he asked, trying to appear confused.

The other took a few deep breaths as if ‘she’ was trying so hard to regain his calmness.

“I- I got the information you want. I couldn’t help to share it with you, so when I found out that you’re still here in the study, I asked the head maid for the key. She gave it to me when I told her that what I was about to tell you was something very important. Which was very effective apparently. So, I’m here now. Sorry, if I disturbed your sleep.”

Now that Luo Yan was finally looking at ‘Sofia’ properly, he noticed that the other was no longer wearing a night robe but a beautiful dress that perfectly showcased ‘her’ figure. It wasn’t revealing. It’s just the way it’s hugging ‘her’ body, not in that tight kind of way but in that flowy manner that made it different.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at the other’s chest. Those were probably the soft thing he felt earlier. He raised his head as if he just didn’t stare at someone’s chest and said with a smile, “What do you want to tell me?”

Before ‘Sofia’ could answer, they suddenly heard an earth-shattering scream.
