The good horror atmosphere was completely ruined by the two of them singing together, even if Lin You didn't care about it, she couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.
"Okay," she said dumbfounded, "stop dawdling at the door, and go in quickly."
Once she spoke, there was no reason for this person to be tangled at the door. In addition, the panic was indeed swept away by Skull's words. Geng Qinghe laughed, and then stepped into the threshold, and even walked up the road leading to the atrium before Lin You The gravel road, I have made enough mental preparations to help explore the road.
Of course it's good that he has this kind of heart. With him as his eyes and ears, Lin You is also happy to be a hand-off shopkeeper for a while, so Geng Qinghe walks ahead. The latter is a little more courageous after practice, but he is still a little nervous and busy looking around when he really goes into battle.
Fortunately, the journey was peaceful, nothing strange happened, only the whistling wind filled my ears. When they walked to the main entrance of the house, Geng Qinghe was still watching the movement around him with trepidation, but Lin You stepped into the main room without paying much attention.
As a result of years of unrepaired stone bricks, even the stone bricks were a bit loose. As soon as she stepped on it, she bumped into other floor bricks loosely, and the sudden "clang" sound shocked Geng Qinghe again.
He looked left and right, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ha," Skull mocked unabashedly, "Young man is young man, you can be frightened by such a small movement."
Geng Qinghe: "..."
Don't think he didn't see it! It obviously shook too, just shook it!
It's strange to say, since it doesn't even have a single bit of flesh on its face, yet he could see a bit of obvious "so what, anyway, you don't have proof" meaning.
Geng Qinghe had an idea, "Sister You-"
Lin You glanced at the skull.
"You have the skills to laugh at others, so you might as well worry about where your arms and legs fall."
The skull was only able to hear a few words when she spoke, it snorted embarrassingly, and honestly began to guide the way again.
It's okay if Lin You doesn't say anything, when it really listens to her and calms down, it stops talking immediately and starts to think carefully. If it still had eyebrows, it would definitely be frowning at this time, and then it spoke with a firm tone: "Just ahead, go in!"
The moonlight couldn't enter the corridor, and it was even darker there. Lin You and Geng Qinghe glanced at each other—although they found a lot of talisman papers, he obviously didn't look through flashlights like her. Things, otherwise I wouldn't have walked in the dark for so long. Right now, I can only continue to do this. Fortunately, my eyes have adapted to the darkness now, so I won't fall down while walking.
This time it was Geng Qinghe who took the lead. He leaned on the wall and groped forward step by step. As he walked, he only heard the muffled sound of "Dang Clang", as if he had kicked something under his feet.
"Hey," he said in surprise, "this..."
Geng Qinghe bent down, boldly touching down.
It started with a rough touch, and when you probe it carefully, it looks like a stick as long as your arm. Faintly aware of something, he slowly lowered his head and saw a forest of white—
"Lie down!"
Geng Qinghe insisted on covering his mouth to stifle the screams, but his legs softened, and he slid and sat on the wall, throwing the thigh bone back to the ground with his hands.
However, accompanied by another muffled sound, the skull shouted in surprise and joy: "My leg is my leg—"
The bone rolled to Lin You's feet, but she picked it up without any psychological burden. The deity was almost so excited that tears filled his eyes, but Lin You couldn't feel any special sensation after all, and he couldn't tell much about it when he held it in his hand and looked left and right. It happened that at this time, he heard Geng Qinghe's trembling voice and left. mouth.
"You, sister you, look over there..."
He fell to the ground and saw something from this angle that he didn't notice at first, swallowed with a dry throat, and pointed in that direction.
...
Looking from a distance, in this huge room, all the sundries have been swept to the corners, but there is a mess of black things piled up in the center. Lin You squinted her eyes, and saw a little white in the black.
It is also in the shape of bones, but I don't know what the other ones are strewn together in disorder, but if you look carefully at the way these white human bones are interspersed with each other, they seem to support this unknown object The real "skeleton".
Looking at it this way, the shin bone thrown in the corridor might be leftovers that were used up, and it was thrown aside casually.
Skull: "..."
It was almost speechless in shock.
It can still sense that the few bones over there are also part of itself, but the question is—what has its body been used for? ! How come you still use half and throw away half? ! !
This is insulting! insult! !
Lin You subconsciously took two steps closer.
There is no lighting tool, only a little bit of moonlight shining through the windows on the opposite wall, and she can only look as close as possible. Although the bottom is framed with ribs, arms and legs personally certified by the skull, the top is covered with rough bark trunks and branches-the guy who built it is not small, and the concave semi-sphere is also large enough An adult lay curled up inside, with a lot of leaves padded inside.
Why does this look more and more like...
"... Bird's Nest?" she murmured.
"It's a good thing you have some good eyesight, but—what do you do to break into other people's homes casually?"
A female voice suddenly sounded from behind, and the two were startled at the same time.
Lin You turned around abruptly.
The man came so quietly that even Geng Qinghe didn't notice when the other person approached.
—It is not appropriate to describe it as a "person".
When it is in the shadows, it can still dimly see the dense feathers on its body and the wings that have just been folded. But when the harpies stepped out of the darkness and appeared under the negligible light, all the fluff covering its face had receded, and the original long beak only flashed by. What really came into view was A young and beautiful woman whose name is indistinguishable from that of a human being.
But seeing the whole process of her transformation with my own eyes, no one present would be so stupid as to think that the other party is so harmless.
As if understanding their vigilance, she giggled, covering the lower half of her face with her long sleeves that were dragging.
"Sister You," Geng Qinghe's teeth were chattering, "I, I, I just saw that she seemed to have more than one head—"
Although the appearance of the bird's body only flashed for a moment, he was determined not to misread it. This monster that turned into a human has more than one head. He didn't count one, two, three, four, but after a rough look, he felt that there were eight or nine heads alone.
— wait.
Hearing his description, Lin You's eyelids twitched.
"... auntie," she whispered.
Also known as the ghost bird, it flies at night and hides during the day. It is covered with ghosts and gods. It wears feathers to look like a bird, and takes off its feathers to look like a woman. There must be a fire of phosphorus in the place where it lives, which is the so-called light of the night heron in the dark night of light rain.
It is also said that it is the origin of another bird called "ghost car bird", so it is not surprising that it has nine heads like that bird.
Unexpectedly, they entered this guy's lair by mistake.
—Or, the other party did not know why they collected the remaining bones of the skull, which led them here as a result.
The woman who covered her mouth with her sleeve smiled softly, acquiescing to her words.
"its not right."
Geng Qinghe glanced back and forth, still a little confused about the situation, he said at a loss: "Since you are a bird, why do you build a nest here, you shouldn't be in a tree..."
Gu Huo Niao: "..."
"I'm willing!" She obviously had a bad temper, and she couldn't get any of the deep look she had deliberately shown just now, and she shouted angrily, her voice was like a hoarse bird song, "I can build my nest wherever I like." , can you control me?!"
Talk about burning with anger, but there is another guy who is even more angry, and the voice of the skull is higher than her: "This, this, this is the reason why you use other people's bones to build a nest?!"
Hearing what it said, Gu Huo Niao calmed down instead, and when she realized that what she was talking about was just a skull hanging on someone else's bag, she snorted and laughed out of her nose, her contempt was beyond words,
"Oh, it's yours? Yes, who told me to pick it up? It's so strong and can be used as a shelf. Why can't I use what I picked up?" She mocked, "It's too late now, I made it The nest is the most secure, all stuck together, don't even think about going back."
Before the words fell, Gu Huo Niao was startled.
... It's strange, when did there be more people beside them
Humans have mediocre night vision, but she can see clearly. There was nothing next to the girl one second ago, but a second later, an upper limb and collarbone appeared out of thin air, replaced by metal objects, skin, etc. Tanned human male. With a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, he habitually stroked the tattoo on his forehead and looked at the "bird's nest" beside him.
Gu Huo Niao thought about it again, and sneered again.
Whatever it is.
She looked greedily at the metal parts of the new human clavicle and elbow, wishing she could take them off now.
Not only did she not return the "stents" today, but she also wanted to keep them all, peeling off the skin, pulling out the bones and the metal. With these, she will be able to make the bird's nest more beautiful in the future—
"Are you sure you don't want to pay it back?" Gu Huo Niao was still immersed in her beautiful fantasies, and when Lin You said with a smile, she suddenly came back to her senses, "Then we will do it ourselves?"
"Just move."
Guhuo Niao sneered, "I picked the strongest tree trunks, and I built them for more than half a year. I am a mere human, and I want to tear down my nest—"
Cain: "..."
He understands this confidence very well, but... no matter how strong the tree trunk is, it can't help mold.
The bird stands far away and can't see very clearly, but it can be seen clearly here - only because of the punishment from God, the sky restrains plants, he just stands a little closer, and the mold quickly climbs up Every branch that is built together, grows and spreads wantonly on it. In just a few seconds, the innermost leaves had all rotted away. They were festering badly and gave off a strange smell. The strongest nest in Guhuo Bird's mind was only a crumbling one. empty shell.
He gave it a gentle push silently.
bang—
Under the suddenly stiff and confident smile of Gu Huo Niao, she worked hard to build the bird's nest for more than half a year...
Totally fell apart.
