Chapter 434 Our Hell

"Yes, he never ate raw food."

"Then have they ever eaten people?"

"I don't know about others, Hardy doesn't eat."

"Did Hardy ask his men not to eat people?"

"No. But everyone knows that he doesn't like cannibalism, so he will never cannibalize in front of him."

"Why doesn't Hardy eat people?"

"I don't know."

"How did this guy become a spy? I don't know this or that..." Phoebe on the side complained secretly in her heart.

"Hadi sent people to Sejawi last year, which men did he send?" Cang Ling continued to ask.

"Hilda, Saul, and Ismael."

"If I remember correctly, these few seem to be considered lower ranks among his subordinates?"

"Correct."

"Before and after they went to Sahavi, did any higher-level night monsters, such as Hodur, go out for a long time?"

Murphy thought for a while, and replied: "When Sifly was still there, Hoddle had been monitoring her and Xinghai in the east, and rarely came back."

"Where exactly?"

"Near the border, I don't know if it's true."

"Did Hardy go out a lot during that time?"

"Occasionally, generally to eliminate nearby opponents."

"Can you recall the exact number of times?"

"... about seven times."

"How long does it take on average to go out each time? Who are the opponents? Is there any corresponding result after that, such as an increase in territory?"

"Why are you asking this?"

"Because we suspect that Hardy started making giant babies in a secret place a long time ago. The one you saw was just a decoy to lure us into the bait. Even the trip to Sejawi was a bait."

Hearing this, Murphy finally showed a surprised expression.

"Please recall all the records of Hardy's outings, including date, duration, purpose, and result. In addition, I also need his shopping list, especially milk."

"Wait a minute." Murphy walked to the cabinet and took out a box of paper cranes, each with her own name written on it.

"It records all of Hardy's actions, including going out and fighting. I will read it to you now, please make a record. Because once opened, the writing will disappear soon."

"Great! I'll write it down now." Cang Ling took out a pen and paper.

Half an hour later, all the records were copied, and there were more than a dozen large sheets.

"You recorded it in great detail." Cang Ling held the notebook and said, "I didn't expect you to be so caring, it's really a great help!"

"Edmund asked me to record it." Murphy said lightly.

"Sergeant Major, it's already dawn, and the night devils are out!" Kali, who was guarding the window, reminded in a low voice.

"Murphy, we are going to search Hardy's office, can you help us guard the stairs?" Cang Ling asked.

"Hadi's office has nothing but books."

"Maybe he has some hidden files..."

"No, I've already searched."

"Where else have you searched?"

"Every corner of this mansion."

"So, the place to breed giant babies is no longer here?" Cang Ling was a little disappointed.

"There is nothing of value here. If there was, I would have told Edmund." Murphy threw the disassembled paper crane into the trash can.

Cang Ling thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, let's search again, since we're here."

"Whatever." After finishing speaking, Murphy went downstairs on his own, ignoring them.

"Is this guy from our side..." Phoebe said dissatisfied.

"She's from Edmund's side, but not from our side," Kali replied.

"Forget it, Kali, you are in charge of security, and Phoebe and I searched all the rooms." Cang Ling stuffed the records he copied just now into his arms.

"Just like an owl when there is any movement," Phoebe urged.

"Idiot, there are no owls in the daytime!"

"Then let's call like a cockroach!"

"How can cockroaches bark!"

"Cockroaches squeak, I used to step on a cockroach..."

"Stop bickering, you two, just come and find us if there is any movement." Cang Ling stopped Phoebe.

"Cockroaches can really bark and fly!"

"Let's go, Phoebe, hurry up." Cang Ling grabbed Phoebe's backpack strap and dragged her into the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Cang Ling's eyes lit up.

This is an extraordinarily elegant and tidy study room. The right wall is covered with bookcases filled with books; in the middle are tables and chairs, with a white floor lamp beside the table; on the left are a row of sofas and tea tables, by the window There is also a tea cabinet in place.

A whole side of floor-to-ceiling windows makes the room extraordinarily bright. Sunlight shines through the windows and screens, casting square spots of light on the carpet.

"It looks like a cultured person at first glance, as expected of a night devil who knows high numbers." Phoebe said in surprise.

"It's unbelievable that this is the night devil's study." Cang Ling walked to the desk, "There are more books here than our reading room."

"No way, knights have to train every day, so they don't have time to read. It's not like Hardy who has nothing to do all day." Phoebe put on her gloves and began to search along the bookcase.

Cang Ling also put on his gloves and searched Hardy's desk.

I thought that Hardy must be studying biology, but he didn't expect that his desk was full of poetry.

In an open manuscript he also copied a poem in beautiful cursive script:

If you open up your hell for me,
And I open my hell for you.

They will be two distinct hells,
We each show our living hell.

Yours is a hell,
Mine is another hell.

Seeing this poem, Cang Ling was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?" Phoebe asked hurriedly.

"No, nothing." Cang Ling put the manuscript back.

After three full hours of searching, they found nothing of value in Hardy's study.

"It seems that Murphy is right." Cang Ling sighed, "Hadi will not leave any information where Murphy can touch it."

"This guy is really old and cunning! So our trip was in vain?" Phoebe said dissatisfied.

"No, no matter how meticulous his thoughts are, he will definitely leave clues. It is impossible for him to leave no traces after making such a big move."

"Then what should we do now? Continue to search other rooms?"

"That's all. Although we may find nothing, we have to search again."

"Well, I guess—"

"Hey! Someone is coming!" Kali suddenly rushed in at this moment.

Cang Ling and Phoebe hurriedly dropped the things in their hands, and quickly got behind the curtain to hide.

Soon, a female Night Demon came in, watered the green plants in the house with a water bottle, and then went out again.

"It's dangerous... Fortunately, it's a low level." Phoebe let out a sigh of relief, "If it's a high level, maybe it will find us."

　Note: The poem Hardy copied is Sandburg's "Our Hell", the full text is: Milton opened hell for us, let us take a look.Dante did the same.Every hell is unique.One is Milton's, the other Dante's.Milton wrote all about his living hell.Dante wrote all of his hell on earth.If you open your hell for me, and I open mine for you.They will be two unique hells, each of us showing our living hell.Yours is one hell, mine is another.
