Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?-Chapter 212 An Estate Of Secrets

Leaning on the vehicles outside the station, Bewoh and Haru were still a little dazed about all that just went down.

And a little further ahead from them, the Grandmaster was still dishing out his final orders to Donghai, Xiang Shore, and the rest.

10 P.M...

The sky was far too dark, with the streets still busy with many finishing their work shifts, heading back home.

The summer heat still made the night hot and stagnant.

But Haru and Bewoh didn't feel the heatwave.

No... The chilling experience they just had was more than enough to keep them cool for the time being.

Gulp.

Haru swallowed hard, looking at the shadow below him.

"Brother Bewoh, the mirror world sure is scary."

Bewoh nodded, seemingly in a daze.

"Mmmm... That's why we need to get stronger. I pity the old couple as well."

"Yeah... To lose so many years... What bad luck!"

"I agree. Luckily, they chose to become Caretakers in the Academy."

Bewoh couldn't help recalling the scene of their agreement in his mind. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

The couple had no doubt chosen the 3rd option... To begin their cultivating journey together.

From what he more or less understood, the caretakers were also elders as well, with some getting the opportunity to teach students too.

Some would be caretakers and controllers of everything concerning the inner sect, outer sect, and all the other sectors in the Academy.

Some might even get tasked with overlooking the forbidden regions too.

And of course, as elders, they would also be able to teach once in a while too.

Haru and Bewoh thought about it, feeling that the couple had made the right choice.

"Brother Bewoh, though the culprit for this matter has been caught, the Grandmaster would still have to work with the MMS to check for others who had been taken to the mirror world... After all, the real creature was still fast asleep in Donghai's body."

The duo understood this aspect.

Things should be far from over now.

Of course, the Grandmaster did say that with the creature's strength, it shouldn't be able to focus on many mortals all at once.

So they hoped the couple was the only ones who were taken there.

Additionally, they had to examine those who came in contact with the bodies, checking if they were marked or not.

The Grandmaster had a rounding up to do in this matter.

But at least half the work was done.

Bewoh glanced at the approaching Dorian, straightening his suit. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

"Haru, get the door... It's time to leave."

"On it."

The matter with the shadows was seemingly over.

And like so, the trio went home, but not before Dorian had made appointments to sell off talismans to everyone else.

F***!

With all they saw, how do you expect them to sleep well at night?

Vrrmmmm~

They were off!

Meanwhile, back in their estate, many watchful eyes continuously fidgeted in the dark.

.

"Alice! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" A whispery but anxious voice echoed out within the very dark and winding hallways.

It was already past 10:30 P.M!

The hallways were all dark, with just a few being dimly lit.

11 P.M was the typical lights-out period in the Tian household.

However, with the emergence of these groups of doctors and nurses, the rules were slightly changed.

Dinner was still 8 PM on the dot.

However, by 10 P.M, they were expected to be in their sleeping quarters or the Grand Chambers, looking after the Tian couple during their overnight shifts.

Everyone worked in rotation, abiding by the strict rules of which places were off-limits and which weren't.

The Tian estate was broad and filled many with adventurous thoughts and wonders.

However, they dared not disobey, especially since it was their leader, the genius doctor Jung that sent them here.

Alice felt her heart beating chaotically the moment she heard the whispers.

Min Kai?

The 23-year old Alice was taken aback, seeing her 27-year-old senior behind her.

The senior looked more and more anxious the longer they stood.

Looking back and forth in fear, he couldn't help reaching for Alice as briskly as he could.

"Alice! What the hell are you doing out by this time? Are you crazy?"

Alice bit her lips, disgusting the turbulent emotions in her eyes.

"Brother Kai... I... I was only going out for a little stroll."

"At this time? Why didn't you do it in the daytime? Alice, do you take me for a fool?!!"

Seeing that Min Kai wasn't buying her lies, Alice was more dissatisfied with her predicament.

Why?

Why was a young and energetic genius like herself stuck on watching duty, overlooking those near-death coma patients?

It's not been long since she got here, and already, she wanted to leave.

She desperately hoped that Hou Jung would send for her, seeing that this sort of work was beneath her.

But in the end, her thoughts were never realized.

Her leader was determined to be heartless, leaving her out in this hell hole that didn't even have a fixed gate security team.

Why? Why should they follow tye rules in such a place?

Alice looked down on the Tian household.

To her, they were taking advantage of some old favor Jung Hou owed, allowing his team to come over.

Despicable!

People like these were just too shameless!

Moreover, she felt like these people were holding onto some unprecedented secret that made her curious to know.

Why? Why were they all acting suspicious?

.

Alice's mind moved fast.

"Brother Kai. Don't you want to know the truth about this place? What if they're doing something illegal that can corrupt the leader's reputation? At this point, they're very desperate, wanting to keep their disguise as being wealthy...Think about it, brother Kai... You know I'm not wrong."

,m Min Kai thinned his lips, recalling the strange actions from the guards and Butler, almost fully believing in Alice's words. However, everyone had their secrets, so why should he be too nosy?

Just as he was about to advise her any further, a chilling voice echoed out within the dark from behind.

"... Going somewhere?"
