Chapter 549 The Corpse
Colbert comforted Eudora and shone a flashlight on her, checking if she was injured. "Let me see if you
got hurt anywhere."
Sitting on the ground, Eudora curled up her legs and couldn't help but mutter, "My leg hurts."
Colbert reached out and lifted her skirt, revealing a wounded knee that was bleeding and swollen.
"It's dislocated. Hold onto the phone for me."
Colbert gently touched Eudora's knee wound, making a basic assessment based on the prominence of
the bone structure.
In this situation, Eudora didn't argue with Colbert. Instead, she obediently took the phone and shone
the flashlight on her knee.
Then, Colbert lifted her leg, his movements very gentle. He tilted his head slightly and looked at her,
saying, "Bear with me. I'll count to three and then put it back in place."
"Okay."
Eudora took a deep breath, clenching her hands tightly, her heart pounding.
She was afraid of pain, fearing that when Colbert reset her knee, she would scream.
"One..."
"Two..."
"Ah! Colbert, you said you'd count to three, but why did you start at two?"
Eudora's knee hurt so much that she slapped Colbert's shoulder and grabbed it tightly, gasping for air.
"Move it a bit to see if there's any problem."
Facing Eudora's sudden anger, Colbert didn't mind at all. What concerned him more was Eudora's
injury.
Eudora moved her leg a bit, feeling comfortable. She immediately stood up, tried to walk, and found
everything was normal besides the minor pain from the scraped knee.
"I can walk normally now. Thanks."
She smiled at Colbert, but then her attention turned to the pitch-black room surrounding them. The
smile on her face vanished instantly, and she sighed, "What kind of place is this? There's no signal onnovelbin
the phone. We need to find a way out. Otherwise, we'll die here... Ah!"
Eudora walked around the room with her phone, and suddenly, in a corner, she saw a skull, which
startled her, and she screamed.
Although she was usually a brave girl in this enclosed space, facing unknown danger, she hadn't
mentally prepared herself and was caught off guard.
"What's wrong?"
Colbert hurried over to her, following the light beam from her phone's flashlight, and discovered a
corpse in the corner.
"The bones are lying flat on the ground. They died quietly, and no one moved them. There's also a
black stain on the floor, a mark left by the decomposed body."
Colbert sat down and analyzed the situation.
After he finished speaking, Eudora immediately asked, "So, this person hasn't been dead for long. Her
clothes aren't decayed either. The clothes look like the servants' uniform in your mansion, and it's a
woman."
"A year ago, Grandma mentioned that a female servant went missing. At that time, we thought she had
run away from home because she was an orphan and couldn't contact her relatives. We reported it to
the police but couldn't find her afterward, so it was left unresolved."
