The "wandering ghost" old woman came to see me early the next morning. I walked out of the room and saw Meng Tianze standing at the door, with his right hand clenched tightly. I knew there was a ring inside without even guessing. When my mother-in-law wasn't paying attention, I took it.
It took it over, and it was considered to be helping people to the end. I don't know if this kid knows about "repaying a favor".
We went back to our adoptive father's room this time and followed the old woman there. Our adoptive father was sitting on a big chair with his back to us as before. When we approached him, he waved to the old woman to go out and she closed the door.
He went out quietly.
"Father, when can we go out!" Damn! I didn't expect him to say such nonsense suddenly, as if he was about to be driven crazy by this place, and his voice was very loud.
"Young man, don't be impatient. Everything I do is for your own good, well..." He paused, as if thinking about something, "If you want to go out, you must walk through all the rooms underground.
One day you will understand why, remember my words and never forget them."
"What? It's all over!" This time it was both of us shouting together. I was frightened by him, and probably Meng Tianze was the same. As soon as I looked at the densely packed map, I knew that this place was in a mess. It was like a big
The labyrinth, not to mention the shabby map is of no great use at all. It is so tattered that it is almost useless. Moreover, there are so many connected rooms here. How can we deal with the situation like yesterday?
"I know what you are thinking," his adoptive father's voice broke the silence of the room. "In fact, you don't have to be discouraged. You will slowly find that this place is very interesting.
I'm serious, young people, and you must pay attention... you must make good use of the ring in your hand. It is not a decoration or display, understand?" I lowered my head and glanced at the ring, and it was still the same.
It was so bright. It would not be wrong to say that it was a decoration. My eyes were suddenly attracted by the ring on my adoptive father's finger. It was so big and bright. The black color seemed to be full of mystery and reflected the light of the candle.
, appears more eye-catching.
"You two, come here. I have a letter here. Keep it. Remember, keep it completely and never throw it away. Only open it when you need it. This... Tianze, you
Put it away!" His adoptive father gave us a letter very abruptly. The letter was sealed tightly, and I always had the urge to open it, and I don't know why.
"There are still some things you need to explore on your own, so work hard! Young people have a bright future! Haha!" He said this very naturally and relaxedly. I poked Meng Tianze and laughed quietly with him.
He said: "Hey, why do you think your adoptive father is giving his last words and preparing for the funeral? Haha!" "Die!" He glared at me fiercely, I was just joking, I know he loves
His adoptive father loves him so much that we can't afford to offend him.
He talked a lot to us, some of which I could understand and some of which I couldn't. But Meng Tianze listened with great interest. I didn't even know how many times he went on a mission. After he finished talking, we went out.
We had a small meeting far away from his door (for fear of him hearing it).
"You go back and get ready, we'll leave in a minute!"
"What? Where are you going? Are you trying to escape? It's useless." I was startled by him and looked very surprised.
"Idiot! Of course we are going for a walk. Don't forget what your adoptive father said. We can only go out after walking through the room we are using. Do you want to stay in this ghost place for the rest of your life? Leave the bones here again? But
No one will bury you!" After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room.
Huh, why is it so bad? At worst, I will just stay here. Anyway, I don’t know where I came from. Damn it! I left just like that!
I quickly followed him. He took the map and carefully looked at each of the densely packed rooms. We opened a door and found that the layout inside was a little different, but it was still basically the same, a bed,
There are a few boxes and a few decorative paintings, but the style is not so elegant, and there is a little lively flavor in it. Wow, it feels like a chocolate dessert. Isn't this house just right for me to live in?
"Girl, do you think this house is custom-made for people like you?"
"Ha, yes!" I'm very happy. It's not easy. We still have the same interests.
"I said, no wonder you are so dull!"
"Go to hell!" I slammed the door shut with a "bang" sound.
"Are you mistaken? This door is very expensive. It doesn't matter if you break your hand. Don't break the door!"
I wish I could strangle him to death! Oh, forget it, murder must be paid with life.
He promoted several houses in front of him, and the results were almost the same. Only the interior wallpapers, floors, and decorative paintings were in different styles.
"After working on it for a long time, why does this place look like a hotel?" I felt a little bored, so I started to complain with my hands on my waist.
"Oh, it must be a funeral parlor!"
Ah? Dead man!
The house he pushed open was similar to the others, and what was lying on the ground was...
"Ah!" I was suddenly frightened and hid behind him, not daring to come out. He walked in and put his finger in front of the man's nose.
"I'm out of breath!" He turned around and told me calmly. My face turned green with fright at that time.
"Hey, are you okay? I've never seen a dead person before!" At this time, he still had time to shout. I shook my head desperately, but he ignored him at all and walked around the person several times, as if he was
Looking for something.
After a while, I felt much better. Although I still didn't understand the situation clearly, I had a rough impression.
"Meng Tianze, how do you think he died?"
"Then you still have to ask, isn't it easy to kill someone in such a big place?"
"But who is he? Why do you want to kill him?" I dared to look at that man this time. He seemed to have a ferocious facial expression, as if he had struggled before death. His eyes were not closed, and he was lying on the ground with something on his chest.
There was a blood stain in the shape of an "S", and the clothes were very simple and plain. I always felt that the clothes looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen them before.
"Girl, go find your adoptive father!" He seemed to feel that something was a little bit wrong, so he became a little nervous.
"Hey, aren't you afraid? Why are you nervous? You are afraid of death!"
"Are you done? Go if you are told to go, or believe it or not, I will throw you here!" He seemed to be really angry this time. I was really afraid that I would be here. I had no choice but to listen to him.
I went back and went out to find my adoptive father. Not long after I walked out of the house, I met the old lady. My eyes flashed and I was suddenly startled.
The clothes that person was wearing just now seemed similar to hers, couldn't they be...
"Where is my adoptive father?" I didn't care, I grabbed her and started asking.
"What's wrong?" She wanted to laugh when she saw me like this.
"I asked where is your adoptive father? Something happened!"
"What can happen? Master, he's not here!" She was quite relaxed, not knowing that I was in a hurry.
"He's dead!" I let go of my hand, suddenly feeling a little impulsive.
"What? Where is it?" Her eyes widened, and her mood suddenly became excited, which was very different from before. I saw that the thick layer of makeup on her face was about to fall off.
I grabbed her and ran to that room. The door was closed. I pushed the door open and suddenly found that something was missing inside.
Meng Tianze?
"Hey, he's gone!" I shouted at the old lady.
She didn't seem to hear me at all and walked straight towards the corpse. "Mu Tong? How could this happen? How could it be done? How could this happen?" Her face immediately turned ugly.
"Mother-in-law, do you know him?"
"He is a servant here, how could you not recognize him?"
No wonder their clothes are so similar, they were all made here.
No, logically speaking, Meng Tianze should be at the first scene. How could he just say he didn't see him and just disappear? I suddenly felt a little scared and became nervous.
"Meng Tianze, you damn thing, can you stop making trouble and come out? I'm wrong, okay?" I yelled in the room, but there was no movement at all. I was a little anxious and ran out of the house quickly.
, looked around, but couldn't see any trace of him.
"Mother-in-law, where do you think he will go?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Follow me."
She led me to the boxes and slowly opened the lids.
typical?
"Where are we going?" My eyes lit up, I was afraid that she would lose it for me.
"Just follow me!" She jumped into the hole very skillfully, and I followed behind.
The hole was less than two meters deep. As soon as we entered, the lid of the box above was closed, and then several stairs appeared in front of us. We walked up the narrow stairs and found that this was a narrow corridor with four sides.
The same old paintings and exquisitely crafted candlesticks were still hung on the walls. The corridor was only less than one meter wide, so it was a bit difficult for two people to go through it, especially with her.
"What is this place?" I was a little curious.
"Wall!"
"Wall?" I was surprised.
"Just follow me."
"This is a wall? So the boxes in each room are the entrances?"
"That's not true, don't ask so many questions!"
If you don't ask, don't ask. Why are you like Meng Tianze?
There are many forked roads here. Based on my IQ, I guess these forked roads lead to different rooms. No wonder she arrived as soon as her adoptive father called her.
We took a few turns here.
"Hey! Meng Tianze, do you want to die? Running so far scares me to death!" I saw him standing in front and rushed up to yell.
He turned around and said, "Hey, when did you start caring about me?"
"I care about you? Just stay here and feed the wolves!" I didn't know whether I was angry or doing something, so I turned around and left.
"Don't go, come and take a look!" He pointed to the floor. My mother-in-law and I rushed over.
A line of red letters was clearly written on the ground: This is just a warning, do you understand? Haha!
"Blood?" My expression changed a little.
"Yes," the mother-in-law looked at the line of words carefully and thought about something, "How could it be? Coil the snake and chop it?"
She kept mumbling to herself for a long time, but I didn't hear what she was talking about.
"Hey, old woman, what are you talking about?" Meng Tianze asked her.
Something was wrong with her. "No, let's go out."
She smoothly turned the candlestick next to us, and an opening opened on the side facing the candlestick. We jumped out from that exit and recognized that this was a restaurant.
I didn't understand what was going on before I went out of the "wall", but it was quite fresh.
"It's not good, it's not good! Master, Master!" The next day when we were all still asleep, we heard the old woman outside yelling. I put on my coat and ran out to take a look.
As soon as I went out, I saw that kid coming out too.
"What are you doing? You yelled so early in the morning! I'm still dreaming!" Fortunately for him, he yawned and looked drowsy. Where did his seriousness go yesterday?
Unexpectedly, the old woman didn't even pay attention to him and continued to run away while shouting.
"Why are you shouting! What happened?" The door to the right of the old woman suddenly opened, and the adoptive father walked out. This was not his room.
"Master, he...he...oh, someone is dead, someone is dead, it's not a good sign!"
"Okay, okay, I understand. Remember, you are not allowed to yell in the morning. Do you hear me? Be careful, I will cut your tongue." The foster father threw these words away angrily, and then left.
I don’t know where he is going. But I can’t figure out where he came out just now. After the old lady left, Meng Tianze and I decided to open the door and take a look. It was empty inside, not even a bed.
, Alas! He wouldn't have slept on the rafters last night. I didn't expect this old man to like to be a gentleman on the rafters.
"Girl, do you feel something is wrong?" Meng Tianze frowned and looked around.
"No." I also looked around, but there was nothing. This guy must not have woken up. "Hey, did you sleepwalk hand in hand with your dearest Snow White last night?"
He stared at me angrily, left the room, slammed the door, and left. Hey! Aren't you angry? You're stingy!
He didn't say a word until he saw me the next day, nor did he let me "put on the ring" for him, but fortunately, my adoptive father didn't notice. But he seemed to be really angry this time. I always felt
I felt a little sorry. After lunch, I knocked on his door.
"Come in!"
When I walked in, I found him reading a book on a chair. The book was very thick, and I didn’t know what it was about. The gray book cover had gilded characters printed on it, and the paper had turned yellow. It was probably an “antique” from the underground market.
One of them.
He didn't raise his head to look at me at all, and looked at the book as if no one else was there. I just stood there and didn't know what to say.
"I... I'm sorry. Why are you so angry? You don't even pay attention to me. You will suffocate me to death. Please, don't be angry, okay!" I swear, that's all I'm listening to.
I've never told anyone that I feel sick to my stomach or even feel very perverted, but now I feel like my face is burning. Forget it, anyway, I risked my life to prevent him from ignoring me, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to talk in such a big place.
If there are no people, wouldn’t it be boring?
Who would have thought that that boy would toast me instead of eating, and still read a book there? Damn you, you deliberately made me angry?! You turned a deaf ear to what I had been holding in for a long time, and didn’t even respond, stupid!
Forget it, don't ask for trouble, let's go, what can I do if people don't appreciate it. I exited the room and closed the door gently. I planned to apologize again before turning off the lights, hoping that he would be in a better mood by then.
.
I just pushed open the door of my room and felt something was wrong. There seemed to be whispers, but I glanced around for a week and didn't see a single figure. Could it be...
I walked into the house, closed the door gently, put my ear against the wall, and listened quietly to the discussion inside.
"What should I do, kid?"
"Kill him tonight!"
"It seems we have no choice but to do this. Who told him to be so alert!"
"What about that chirping troublemaker?"
"Let's keep it for now. There shouldn't be any threat. She'll be sluggish at first sight, so she'll be fine."
"Okay, that's it!"
I was shocked and didn’t know what to do. It was too much! Calling me a "chirping troublemaker"? It pissed me off! But... "that kid" doesn't mean...
I quickly closed the door and thought about what I should do tonight. No, I had to find him. I rushed into his room and opened the door. There was no one in the room. Did he go out? I looked for him in the corridor.
I didn't find it for a long time, and I didn't go to the restaurant for dinner. I just lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze. From time to time, I took out the timer (an instrument used to measure time, a square with a side length of 2.5 cm, with two
Arrange numbers, the first row is the date, the second row is the time. The smallest unit of time is a star. One star is about the time it takes for a spherical stone with a diameter of three centimeters to fall to the ground from a height of two meters. Every one hundred stars
It is recorded as a fog poem, every hundred fog poems is recorded as a fire month, every twenty fire months is recorded as a day, every twenty days is recorded as a wave period, and twenty wave periods are regarded as one year, referred to as a year.
.The timer uses the year-end timing method, that is, counting from the establishment of the transformation.) Let's take a look. It says "1000 years, 3 waves, 15 days, 18 fires, 42 fogs, 78 stars", which is still far from turning off the lights.
1. There are many fires (the lights-out time is about 20 fires every night).
Just when the lights were about to go out, I got up and ran to his room. If the person who spoke at that time could really walk back and forth in the wall, then it would be easy to kill Meng Tianze while he was sleeping. Fortunately, I ran to his room.
He was still reading and didn't leave. I rushed in without even knocking on the door. He just looked up and returned his eyes to the book.
"I'm begging you, whether you hit me, scold me, or if I'm wrong, just don't be angry, come with me, something is going to happen here!" He continued to "work" without looking up.
With a "swish" sound, the light went out. He stood up and groped for the wall, took a candle, and lit it with his ring, pretending that I didn't exist at all. I grabbed his other arm and tried to pull him
He refused to leave the room no matter what.
"Why don't you get angry at me? It's too late, just listen to me for once. Someone wants to kill you!"
From the time I entered the room until now, he didn't say a word. He just pulled the arm I grabbed back hard. Suddenly, I saw a green light streaking across the left side of my peripheral vision, and I jerked him away.
With a push, we both fell to the ground. We were dizzy and our right arm hurt so much that it seemed like we had scratched the skin.
I heard a burst of chaotic footsteps, and the room returned to calm. I slowly got up and sat against the wall. I gently rubbed the broken area with my right hand and sighed.
"Hey, girl, is it okay?" He lit the candle again and said softly.
It was the first time I heard such a gentle tone from him.
I couldn't even say an angry word, I just felt so happy. "Are you not angry anymore?"
He immediately changed his tone, "Of course he's angry!"
"Please! Just one sentence... Why are you angry?"
"I hate it when people make fun of their girlfriends!" He said half-truthfully.
"I'm wrong, why not? I've told you this three times."
"I didn't hear enough. I finally got Miss Qin to apologize in person, so why not listen to a few more words!"
"Okay, you are teasing me," I just wanted to hit him, but my arm hurt so much, "Ouch!"
"Hey, what are you screaming about?! Did you fall to death? Is something okay?"
I shook my head.
"It's okay, don't bark! The wild cats are here!"
Please, you damn guy, can you have a better attitude?!
I didn't have the time to talk nonsense with him! I turned around and went back to the room. Early the next morning, I couldn't get up, my head was in a mess, so I simply lay down and slept in.
When I woke up, it was already 10 o'clock. When I got up, I found delicious food on the bedside table, and a note: You damn girl, the food is so delicious, so you should work harder and sleep.
You look like a pig and you still want to wait for your adoptive father to have something extra for you to eat!
I laughed, picked up the rice bowl and started to eat. It was the first time I discovered that rice was so delicious. But I still didn't forget to clean him up the next time I saw him. What a dead girl, a pig... you're looking for death?! But then
Who are the voices in the walls? Will they appear again?
