C8 Monitor

Xu Nian couldn't help but shiver as she thought about how Gu Mingyan would easily push him down onto the bed.

[Number Seven, I want to go for a walk.]

"Does Miss need a servant to accompany her?"

[Can you accompany me for a walk?]

Compared to the maids, Xu Nian wanted Number Seven to accompany her.

"My pleasure."

Number Seven opened the door and then slightly bowed like a gentleman, making a "please" gesture.

The man was so rough, so he was quite polite with Number Seven.

Just as Xu Nian stepped out, the maid appeared at the door.

"Miss, would you like to go for a walk?"

[Un, but I want Number Seven to accompany me.]

Xu Nian, fearing that the maid would follow her, made a hasty gesture before realizing that she might not understand.

The maid nodded and stood aside politely.

"Please, miss."

Xu Nian walked along a small path paved with gray pebbles, with Number Seven following her from a distance.

Behind him, it was like a palace that had been moved out of a fairy tale, quietly standing under the sun.

Following behind Xu Nian, Number Seven's green eyes twinkled.

Xu Nian turned around and asked.

[Number Seven, do you know the way?]

"Mr. Gu never gave me a map of Maze Forest."

Xu Nian wanted to turn to Number Seven for help, but she was disappointed at hearing this answer. However, it was within her expectations.

No matter what, No.7 was created by Gu Mingyan. It was good that he didn't stop him from escaping. Even if he knew the map, he wouldn't tell him.

After walking for a while, the forks in the road in front of him became more numerous, and the forest also felt colder and colder.

The lush foliage completely covered the sky, and from time to time, the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves could be heard. It was hard to avoid an eerie and strange atmosphere.

Xu Nian looked at the dark forest behind her and tightened her fist.

Going back would be hell, so he might as well go forward.

Xu Nian turned around.

[Number Seven, stay close to me.]

"Yes, miss."

Number Seven quickened his pace to keep up with Xu Nian.

Inside Imperial Palace's study, a man was lazily sitting in front of a computer. His eyes were as black as the night, quietly staring at the monitor, anxious to escape from his little prey.

It seemed like it was getting more and more fun.

At the end of the cobblestone path, which ran straight ahead, was an ornate European pavilion.

The hazy night was like a translucent piece of paper, quietly covering the forest. In the distance, there were already some broken stars, like crumbs scattered all over the ground by someone.

Xu Nian didn't know how many times she had passed by here, but she sighed lightly. When she entered the forest, she found out that the phone in her pocket could only be used to call Gu Mingyan.

This was the Maze Forest, how could he let her walk out so easily?

"Miss, should we return?"

Number 7 looked up and asked.

Xu Nian turned her head to look at the winding path behind her. The luxurious palace had long since disappeared from the other side of the forest. After walking for so long, they should be quite a distance away.

Was that fellow coming back soon?

[What time is it?]

"Miss, it's 7: 35."

The electronic voice paused for a moment before continuing.

"Mr. Gu is back. We'd better go back immediately."

Hearing this, Xu Nian's body, which was wrapped in a sports coat, trembled slightly. A wave of cold air rushed over from the surroundings. She raised her head to look at the dark depths of the forest. Probably, she wouldn't be able to get out.
