Found a room on the first floor that was not locked, Ronald and Cons easily flipped in. The sofa and low table could only be vaguely identified in the dark room, and it looked like an idle one.

"Ro...Ronald, let's look in this room first!"

Standing in the dark room, Cons was not as brave as Ronald. He looked at the lights of the door lock hole penetrated into the room with some fear. There was no logic in his words, and he seemed to just want to delay time.

Then, then

Ronald, who came in earlier, had already put his ear on the door and listened carefully to the movements in the corridor outside.

He immediately raised his fingers to block his mouth as he heard as low as possible, saying:

"Hush-"

“There is movement outside.”

Cons instantly lost any thought of opening his mouth.

At this moment, the room where the two of them were even quiet enough to hear the sound of breathing.

Keep it so quiet.

Ronald finally heard clearly what was happening outside.

The two groups of footsteps with different rhythms went from far to near, and then passed through the corridor on the first floor and finally disappeared from the distance. During this period, there were intermittent conversations that could be heard.

"You... Master is here... Let's get off work tomorrow... breakfast?"

"Who knows..., our job is much easier than those workers anyway!"

"But it's rare for the master tonight to be entertained by the guests so late."

"I heard that the adult brought a book written by a Scotsman, which I just wrote this year, seems to make a lot of money?"

"You can make money by reading this book, then we...?"

“…I can’t read, I think of these…”

"..."

People outside went from far away to disappear, but Ronald did not change his posture.

He leaned against the door with his brows frowned, thinking about the conversation between the two of them just now, and his mind began to speculate on what might have happened.

After all, this is a trial of the original text, a pure illusion composed of the original text.

Ronald cannot ignore things that can be directly ignored in normal circumstances. After all, this kind of thing may be the key to the trial.

At the same time, Cons, who was still lowering his voice, finally couldn't help but ask again after several depressing breaths:

"Ronard, how is it now? Are you still there?"

"The person is gone, let's continue."

After answering Cons's small question, Ronald carefully opened the door and exposed a gap, and then quietly observed the situation in the corridor.

Within visible range.

The situation in the office building is exactly the same as Ronald’s previous inference.

Although it looks brightly lit outside, there are actually very few people in the building, and there are no figures passing by in the corridor now.

Referring to the conversation between the two people just passed by...

If you guess correctly, Matthew Bolton, the owner of the factory, was entertaining a distinguished guest, so most of the human resources were summoned near him.

Giving a wink to Cons behind him, Ronald immediately walked in front and left the room.

"Cons, remember not to be afraid when you meet someone, just treat it as a subordinate of the guest who is here to visit, and never let go of a guilty expression. If the drawings of the steam engine are placed here, it should be an office or something.

We can always find the place we are looking for slowly.”

"I ... I know."

Cons nodded bitterly to show his understanding, and then followed Ronald who was walking in front of him.

Now that things have come to this point, he actually has no other choice.

Since we are on the road of stealing, it will be a matter of time before we face such a situation.

As for now ...

Ronald at least looks trustworthy.

Listen to his orders first, and then look at the changes in the situation.

Next, the two of them wandered in the office building to explore slowly. Under Ronald's cautious and bold command, they spent only twenty minutes successfully checking the rooms that could be inspected on the first floor.

The drawings about the steam engine were the least ideal and nothing was found.

Although there are things in the office building that are related to the steam engine, they are far from the actual drawings. At most, Matthew mentioned his prospects for the future in the letters stored by him.

Of course, this process is still a bit special for Ronald.

After identifying letters and some written records, he figured out the time node where the illusion was.

It is now 1776.

An important year that makes people fall into deep thought.

If Ronald's inference is true, then this original trial has almost an outrageous malice against those who are under the trial. Rather than saying it is the original trial, it is better to say that this is a fatal trap for killing people.

Just as Ronald's face became increasingly ugly and he began to approach the stairs leading to the second floor, Cons, who had made up his mind, couldn't stand it anymore.

This guy has a psychological quality that is completely in line with the thief level.

After the twenty-minute exploration, the courage he had just plucked up to give up was gone.

Tugging at the sound of his own trembling due to fear, Cons continued:

"Ronard, do we still have to continue?"

"There are quite a lot of people above!"

Although Ronald looked bad, he immediately rejected Cons' retreat:

"Let's keep looking! Think about it, this time the reward is thirty pounds. How long does it take for ordinary people to work to save such wealth? Cons, don't give up the important opportunity before you because of your timidity."

"If you can get this money, will anyone laugh at you for being kicked out of the factory? As long as you have money, all this will no longer become a problem!"

"..."

Ronald's words hit Cons's psychological weakness directly.

He stood there in a daze, his eyes changed again and again.

In the end, the thief's expression stabilized, and while he walked towards the stairs beyond Ronald, he said viciously:

"Okay, Ronald, I'll listen to you! Let's continue to go to the second floor!"

"If we don't find the second floor, we will go to the third floor and continue looking for it. Tonight, we will also use the drawings of the boiling water and steam engine..."

Suddenly, Cons' expression froze on his face.

At this moment, he was walking in front of the stairs, then turned his head to look at Ronald behind him and spoke harshly. But just in Cons's sight, Ronald, who was originally calm, had an expression that instantly became extremely serious, and his pupils were still

Locked tightly above the stairs behind him.

As if he felt something, Cons turned his head stiffly and looked behind him.

Just above the stairs, a little girl in servant's clothes was standing there, looking at herself blankly.

"Chirky chirp--"

Suddenly, an even more unexpected change occurred.

At this moment, the nightingale's cry suddenly sounded outside the office building.

Three people who went to another building...
Chapter completed!
