The Great Detective of Gensokyo, but surrounded by Shura Field!

And because she had been blocking it, Alice had already cast a suspicious look at her.

"I always feel like you're acting strangely today. Is there something shameful hidden up there?"

"No, no, I just don't want to trouble you too much."

"That's not a big deal. It's a good opportunity for me to practice my puppet manipulation skills. Now, get out of the way."

I watched Alice slowly walk up to the second floor.

Marisa finally gave up trying to stop him and stopped thinking.

At this moment, she was powerless and could only pray silently in her heart.

"Xiaobai, you must hide well..."

"Don't let Xiao Ai find out, otherwise she will definitely be super, super angry..."

Chapter 23 Alice: It seems like I came at the wrong time?

Chu Bai is very panicked now.

Because he was hiding on the second floor at that time.

With his hearing ability, he could naturally hear the sounds downstairs clearly.

Seeing Alice preparing to go upstairs, Chu Bai was of course complaining.

As mentioned earlier, in addition to her profession as a puppeteer, Alice is also a powerful magician.

So it was definitely impossible for Chu Bai to escape by climbing out the window, because the sound of opening the window would definitely be noticed by Alice, and then she would know what had happened with just a quick glance.

So the only places to hide are these few places in front of us——

Large wardrobe, under the bed, inside the curtains, and a huge storage box.

pat.

pat.

Alice's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Chu Bai had no time to hesitate.

Finally, his gaze turned towards "under the bed"...

……

……

"Hmph, the second floor really has Marisa's style."

Alice paced and came to the second floor of Marisa's house.

As a bedroom where no outsiders visit, it is even more chaotic than the living room.

There were books and magic props scattered randomly everywhere, and even a lot of folded clothes on the ground.

Although there is no strange smell, it is more like the same fragrance as Marisa's, but the visual effect is still confusing.

But Alice was not panicked at all. Instead, she hoped that the place would be as chaotic as possible.

Because only in this way can she fully control the army of puppets to clean and exercise her dexterity.

"Is it just my illusion? I feel like there's another presence in this house, as if someone is watching me..."

Alice tilted her head in confusion and released her mental power to perceive.

But in terms of mental power alone, she was obviously inferior to Chu Bai and could not detect Chu Bai's breath, so naturally she did not notice anything unusual.

So she stopped hesitating and just controlled the puppets to start the cleaning activity.

"First, the windows and curtains."

Alice's first step was to draw the curtains and open the windows to let the sunlight into the room.

The puppets beside him came over with rags to wipe everything, and even the curtains were dusted clean.

Normally, the first step in cleaning is to open the windows for ventilation. Hiding behind the curtains is definitely a dead end.

This time, Chu Bai obviously successfully avoided the answer of death.

However, before he could be happy, Alice immediately changed her target.

"The windows are cleaned, now..."

"Just choose to clean under the bed."

"???"

Chu Bai, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly widened his eyes.

Before he could complain in his heart, Alice immediately took two steps at a time and came to the bottom of the bed.

Then she lowered her head slightly and looked at the slightly dark area under the bed.

The scene that came into her sight immediately surprised her.

"Eh eh eh eh?"

"Actually..."

“There are so many things piled up?”

Chu Bai: “Huh…”

Chu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and once again admired his own reasoning.

Although just now, he decided to "hide under the bed" and observe the situation.

After all, this place is definitely difficult to clean for ordinary people.

But he soon rejected his plan.

Because Alice is not an ordinary person, her doll can easily reach small places like under the bed.

And with her personality, she would definitely not let go of this dark corner!

The same goes for the wardrobe. The careful Xiao Ai will definitely clean it.

The only thing Alice might not open is the storage box containing personal belongings because of her identity concerns.

Therefore, Chu Bai made a quick decision to move his position, opened the lid of the "storage box" and hid inside.

Facts have proven that his choice was absolutely correct, because if he really had been hiding under the bed, Alice would have found him by now.

"Oh, Marisa, you're such a jerk! You even have so many things piled under the bed..."

Although there was a lot of clutter, it didn't take long.

Because for Alice, any problem that can be solved by human hands is not a problem.

After all, she is like a legion, and she is always very quick when it comes to doing things.

"Next is the floor, the table, and the wardrobe..."

"I feel like I'm more like Marisa's mother than a good friend..."

Alice, who has few friends, is apparently very good at talking to herself.

This lonely look made Chu Bai sigh.

If he wasn't really inconvenienced right now, he would definitely jump out to say hello and then take Xiao Ai to have hotpot.

……

……

Alice cleaned up very quickly.

Three places: behind the curtains, under the bed, and in the closet - have all fallen.

Now the only place in the entire room where someone could hide was Marisa's storage box.

Chu Bai happened to be hiding in the box, holding his breath and waiting for Alice to leave.

"Great, the cleaning is done. Now the room looks much cleaner."

Alice took the doll back and nodded in satisfaction.

Chu Bai, who was observing the scene through the gap in the box, immediately became excited.

Now that we've finished sweeping, the next step is to leave, right?

Let’s go quickly, Xiao Ai, let’s leave Marisa’s house quickly!

I will treat you to hotpot afterwards!

However, contrary to expectations, Alice did not leave, but walked towards the storage box.

As she walked, she murmured:

"Oh, don't forget the last storage box. Help Sasha organize it as well."

Damn it?

Don't you even let go of the storage box?

Chu Bai huddled in the box, sweating profusely.

No, don't come over here!

If they open the box, they will immediately meet eyes and bump into each other.

By then, I'm afraid their friendship will be completely over!

thump.

thump.

Chu Bai's heart was beating rapidly, and he now felt like a little white rabbit that was about to be caught by the big bad wolf who knocked on the door.

Alice finally stopped in front of the storage box and slowly stretched out her hand...

“Wait a minute aa ...

At the critical moment!

A very critical moment!

Marisa's rescue finally arrived.

She ran over yelling, holding the storage box tightly under her body.

Alice suddenly showed a surprised expression:

"Eh? Marisa, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to help me sample the cupcakes?"

"I ate it all! Very fresh and delicious!"

Marisa said vaguely:

"But I won't bother you to clean this box. I can do it myself. Let's go down quickly."

"what?"

Alice raised her eyebrows slightly:

"Haven't you always asked me to clean it up in the past? Why are you suddenly resisting this time?"

"this and that……"

"Also, your attitude just now was very subtle. You seemed very panicked."

Alice smiled faintly: "Is there something here that I can't discover?"

She had only been joking.

After all, this is Marisa's home, she will definitely take care of her privacy.

If Marisa insisted on not cleaning, she would just leave.

But Marisa was already getting anxious.
