The eldest son of the Ye family looked at Xiao Li with complicated eyes.
He could see the word "sincere" in the eyes of the other party, instead of covering up like some people were reluctant to hand over special secrets - the person in front of Ye Lingshi answered with sincerity.
However, this is completely inconsistent with the situation in reality. How can we be friends with ghosts
Ghosts don't exist without feelings.
This is a well-recognized fact in the major imperial families, and even in the dungeon world.
Every moment, countless newcomers are pulled into the dungeon by this supernatural power. Among them, there are many newcomers in poor situations, but no one has ever seen a ghost and spared his life because the other party was pitiful.
These ghost masters can only use special refining techniques to forcibly drive ghosts and ghosts at the risk of being backlashed. Some ghosts have no ability to think at all. They just love blood and kill people for fun. It’s impossible to be good!
Ye Ling stunned his throat and asked, "But how can I establish a friendship with... Li Gui?"
Xiao Li glanced at him and thought for a while, then hesitantly said, "Look at your face?"
Ye Lingshi:
Sherlock, what do you mean by that look? Is he ugly
Xiao Li immediately added: "That's not what I meant, I mean... It depends on luck."
Tan Li and Zhou Ying are both dungeon ghosts with twists and turns. They both have infinite nostalgia for this world and are unwilling to reincarnate. There must be ghosts that are diametrically opposed to them in this world. Which one can meet depends on luck.
The brown-haired youth stopped talking, and he stared at the black-haired youth in front of him.
Could it be that he is too African
Xiao Li's whole body was bathed in Ye Lingshi's excitement with a bit of resentment, and in the resentment, there was some confusion in his eyes, he was a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he took the initiative to change the subject, and he pointed to the place where the sound came from downstairs , asked the two beside him, "Do you want to go down and have a look?"
Feng Fengqing had been in a state of confusion before. She knew that Ye Lingshi could be ranked in the ranking of the reincarnators. There must be some things and props on the body of such people, but she knew nothing about Xiao Li. , Listening to Ye Lingshi's words, it seems that this little-known Mr. Detective is the most hidden one...
The doctor was still observing Xiao Li, when she suddenly heard this sentence, she immediately said: "Don't go down, that sound is too weird, let's... let's not make extraneous things, in case the evil spirit that Ronnie said is below..."
Whether it was the loud noise or the barking of a dog, Ye Lingshi's hungry ghosts couldn't find the north, their strength must be extremely terrifying, they have already found a way to live, and it is absolutely unnecessary to die.
Ye Lingshi clicked a cross on his chest: "Ms. Feng's remarks are justified. The evil spirits here are too powerful, so we should be cautious."
If there is no way to survive, then Ye Lingshi will definitely go to find out, but in the case that he has been able to complete Mission 1 and survive for seven days, mission 2 to explore the truth here has become insignificant.
However, Ye Lingshi faintly felt that Sherlock would not listen to him. Through Bloody Mary and looking for snacks in the middle of the night, he discovered that the other party's brain circuit was not on the same line as himself - or with ordinary people. He even suspected this. Are people really human
Sure enough, after Ye Lingshi expressed his attitude, the black-haired detective flicked off the dust on his collar with his fingers, and his dark eyes looked at him: "I'll go take a look."
"What do you have to do there?" Ye Lingshi couldn't help but asked at the end.
"To complete the second mission."
"It's completely meaningless? We've already completed Mission 1—" Ye Ling asked incredulously, "Mission 2 is so dangerous, why do you have to go?"
The black-haired boy glanced at him lightly and walked towards the source of the voice. When the young man thought he would not get an answer, he heard the other person reply softly: "If you choose the first task, you will have to stay for three more days, it is too long. already."
Ye Lingshi: "..."
This is really the most bizarre reason he has ever heard - he really wants to drag the other person and ask "Are you sick?", but thinking about it, people are likely to reply with a blank face "Do you have medicine?" ', he just gave up on the idea...
Xiao Li didn't want to kill himself. In addition to wanting to end the dungeon as soon as possible, the reason he went to find out was that "the mountain is over there", the truth is down there, how could he not go
For someone like Xiao Li, who is very curious and a little bit puzzled, the truth of every world makes his heart itch, like a kitten's paw scratching the softest place. I have always been interested, otherwise I would not have given myself the nickname of a famous detective.
Ye Ling watched his back go away, and after being speechless, he stretched out a finger and rubbed his chin.
Sherlock's unceasing death and immortality reminded him of a person—a certain god who ranks at the top of the reincarnation leaderboard, and that god is also obsessive-compulsive in detail. When he and Ye Lingshi were in the same group, because the other party didn't like the Ye family, he used to be mad at Ye Lingshi, but now it seems that compared to Sherlock, that person is a little bit worse in that weird brain circuit.
The young man suddenly looked forward to the appearance of that person when he met this Sherlock. He would definitely raise his hand and call for Sherlock.
The downpour outside the window continued, Xiao Li was walking on the heavy carpet and could hear the dull sound of rain from outside.
The past few days have been too wet, causing him to feel that his robe is also wet, causing Xiao Li to unbutton his wrist a little irritably.
Tan Li and Zhou Ying returned to his pockets, and it seemed that the closer they got to that place, the more scared they became.
This reaction, and the spiral staircase going down, reminded Xiao Li of the door shown in the Bloody Mary mirror.
At this time, the black-haired boy seemed to be in the mirror of last night. He walked down the stairs, and then the door to the basement was locked. There was a canine creature engraved on the door. It had three heads, and the tail was a poisonous snake. Also coiled around dormant snakes, the canines are extremely thick and sculpted to life.
Three Heads - Cerberus? Hell's guard dog
That dog bark just now, could it be this three-headed dog
In Greek mythology, Cerberus guarded the gates of the underworld, allowing every soul of the dead to enter the underworld, but not letting anyone out.
If this basement leads to hell... Then the barking of the guard dog just now is to ward off evil spirits
Xiao Li walked over and lightly touched Cerberus' head with his finger. A cold touch came from his fingertips, but the guard dog didn't respond, just like a real sculpture.
He lowered his head and carefully searched for small traces in front of the door. Finally, after lifting a corner of the carpet, he found a little white powder underneath, which was like the chalk marks around his body after Wu Xian died.
In this way, Wu Tan, plus several other people were transported into this door by the old housekeeper after their deaths. If this is the case, the existence of the old housekeeper itself is very problematic, and a few of them were invited to come. s reason-
Xiao Li still remembered the line of words on the invitation letter, "It's getting closer and closer to the appointed day", the appointed day...
What kind of agreement did they have with the owner of the castle for these identities they borrowed
While he was thinking about it, Xiao Huangben jumped out at this moment: [Want to go in?]
Xiao Li took it out of his pocket and glanced at it. After seeing this line of words, he was silent - he really thought about it.
[How about we make an exchange?]
Xiao Li: "... What exchange?"
Xiao Huangben: [Complete your hidden mission, you can go into any corner here.]
- In other words, have to kiss him.
At that moment, Xiao Li's eyes flickered, just like Eve was struggling like a poisonous snake that broke into the Garden of Eden, he had to admit that the other party caught his weakness - Xiao·Curiosity Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder·Li struggled very much Pinch the paper of the small yellow book. However, just as he was struggling, he suddenly heard the sound of heavy objects crashing from upstairs, followed by the sound of pounding footsteps, walking upstairs in a disorderly manner.
Xiao Li glanced upwards with the probe, put away the little yellow book who had not received an answer, and ran over to follow the source of the sound.
It was the last room on the first floor, where the old housekeeper lived, and they never went in.
When Xiao Li arrived, Ye Lingshi and the others were at the door, looking at the door worriedly, the young man knocked on the door with his hand: "Lord Ronnie, are you alright?"
There was no response from the room, and the sound of rain drowned out the knock on the door.
They waited for a while, then Ye Lingshi knocked again and said loudly, "If you're not feeling well, let Dr. Feng take a look?"
There was still not a trace of sound inside, and it was as quiet as the rooms of the dead a few times before.
Xiao Li lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
The brown-haired young man looked back and saw Xiao Li who was running, and shrugged: "We just heard the sound of something overturning, and Ronnie's exclamation. After running up, he refused to open the door."
Xiao Li didn't leave for a long time, when he heard the movement upstairs, he walked up directly.
Therefore, Ye Lingshi didn't think he would find anything in the basement. He thought about it and swallowed the sentence "Have you found anything?".
Xiao Li turned around, held down the doorknob, turned his body sideways and bumped it inwardly with his body, but did not bump, Ye Lingshi grabbed him, motioned him to stand aside, and then kicked his leg sideways, hard. Shengsheng kicked the door open.
The young man cast a smug look at Xiao Li, am I handsome
Who knew that Xiao Li didn't even look at him, and after seeing the door opened, he rushed into the room—
The old housekeeper's room was a bit more rudimentary than those of their guests, with very little furniture, a bed and a low table with a few sheets of paper and envelopes on it, and a tea set at the window.
Ronnie himself was lying on the ground, and the dull sound was the sound of him falling off the bed.
"You... What's the matter?" Feng Fengqing, as a doctor, had to walk over to help the old butler up in order to maintain her personality, but she helped him twice and found that the other party couldn't stand up, so she lifted the old butler's back. The trouser leg tube, I found that there was a huge wound on the other's leg, which was the mark of being bitten by a vicious dog. The wound was dripping with blood, and there was a piece of meat missing.
Ronnie grabbed her clothes and squeezed out a hissing sound from his throat. The hair that had been meticulously combed behind his head fell down, and the whites of his eyes were filled with terrifying bloodshots.
Feng Fengqing was a little scared. She wanted to let go of Ronnie's hand, but was caught by the other party and couldn't move. Ronnie said, "Hey, it's... bad..."
"what?"
"Still... poor... three..." Ronnie tried his best to finish this sentence, and Feng Fengqing, who was startled, tried his best, and the clothes he was caught were torn apart. Feng Fengqing threw him directly on the ground, and jumped to the side - he didn't struggle, a strange greed appeared on the old man's face, "It's just...you...you die like them, so 'I' will Back to the world!"
The old butler said and got up from the ground, he dragged the injured leg and let out a roar from his throat.
"Be careful, he is possessed by an evil spirit!" Ye Lingshi shouted loudly upon seeing this.
Xiao Li looked at Ronnie's leg, bypassed Ye Lingshi, and asked suddenly, "Cerberus has three heads, why did you only hurt one leg?"
As soon as he said these words, everyone present was stunned for a while, and Ye Lingshi thought first and foremost: Cerberus...? The name is a bit familiar—the guard dog of Greek mythology? When is this creature that ran out, and that dog bark is it? What exactly did Sherlock encounter down there
Compared with Ye Lingshi, who has a wider range of knowledge, Feng Fengqing has a feeling of being in the clouds and fog - what is it about Keer, what is it? Who am I, where am I, what is he saying, am I still in this copy world? !
The old butler who was possessed by the evil spirit seemed to have just noticed him and moved his trembling legs. Say, "How do you know... I just hurt a leg?"
With his movements, there was a faint blood in Ronnie's abdomen, but he was sloppily tied with a bandage.
However, Xiao Li didn't know what to understand. He glanced at Ronnie's third leg with a strange look, showing an inexplicable look - before the evil spirit understood his meaning, Xiao Li poured out the photos from the envelope in his hand.
It was after he came in, and while Feng Fengqing was comforting Ronnie, he took it from Ronnie's desk-the papers were all ways to summon evil spirits, and this envelope contained seven photos.
The first photo is of a dark-haired child in a small fitted waistcoat, posing with a blond man. On the back of the photo is written: , and the number one.
The second photo is of a girl wearing a floral dress, also taking pictures with the blond man in the first photo. Behind the photo is the same time and number two.
The rest is the same, three, four, seven, seven people in total, the same number as the reincarnators.
Xiao Li shoved the photo into Ye Lingshi, who was about to move his head to his hand, and smiled for a moment at Ronnie, who was staring at him: "Hell is hard to come out of, right?"
Ronnie looked annoyed when he was stabbed in the foot.
As soon as the evil spirit made a move, the puppet that was far away from the Cerberus' suppression again stuck its head out of Xiao Li's pocket. The girl looked blank, facing the evil spirit in Ronnie's body at a distance.
This evil spirit is not the real body here, only a small part of the soul fragment is possessed in Ronnie's body, or the kind that has been injured by the hellhound, so he can't help it for a while.
"This manor is the entrance and exit of hell, and you are an evil spirit suppressed in hell. You want to escape from hell, but Cerberus does not allow you to come out. You can only find another way to collect souls for sacrifice rituals—en , it's hard to find us. It's a lot of work to find a child whose birth and death date meets your requirements. When you grow up, you will still remember us, send us an invitation letter, and let us go to the castle. A guest, a very warm host."
"That's a promise... I give you wealth, and you sell your soul to me! I just take back what I deserve!" Ronnie's eyes were red.
"A lollipop can be exchanged for a soul, yes, your business is very evil." Xiao Li did not complain at all, he continued, "In the beginning, the number of people we died was completely what you expected, but it was only in the After Wu filling, we peeped out the way of life given by the rules, and you had to find another way to kill us. You gave He Wei and the others the ritual of summoning Bloody Mary, right? It was very effective, they died, and you got You got a chance to breathe, but after that, death stagnated, you tried to risk four souls to deceive the Cerberus, but you failed, only splitting out such a single soul, you are standing in front of me."
"Congratulations, returning to hell."
What Xiao Li said was the truth of Tartaros Manor.
This castle is built on the top of hell. A certain evil spirit in hell is obsessed with wanting to return to the world. He started the layout a long time ago, found seven children, made an agreement with them to sacrifice their souls, and then The reincarnators play the children who are invited when they grow up, and their souls after death will be used to complete sacrificial rituals to help the evil spirits escape.
In his voice, Xiao Huangben automatically appeared, and the settlement was started: [Xiao Li, the reincarnator, completed the original task 2, the evaluation level is s, the task completion rate is 85%, there is no rubbing ghost, and he gets 1,000 Survival Coins.]
[The scene is changing.]
[3, 2, 1—]
[Disappointed, almost succeeded.]
[Very disappointed.]
[Still frustrated.]
[Important things are said three times.]
A few golden lights flashed, and then accompanied by a bark, the interior of the castle returned to the eternal silence again.
The storm outside whipped up turbulent waves, beating the cliffs like never-ending stops, and only this manor remained standing. It is quiet and ancient, as if no creatures had ever come, guarding hell.
Occasionally, the portraits hanging on a certain wall will become empty, and the blond beauty originally deposited on it will shuttle in the mirror, wandering between reality and illusion.
