The inner courtyard was peaceful and quiet under the night, and three figures crawled out one after another from a dry ancient well in the corner.
Xu Wang came out first, followed by Yan Wang, and Wu Sheng was at the end.
"Ye Wang, is Xiaoxue really here?" As soon as Xu Wang came out, he first looked around.
It does look like an inner courtyard, with vermilion verandas, carved panes, and four rooms next to each other, elegant and orderly.
However, there was a towering, long wall standing on the east side of the yard, as if one side of the yard was cut off, so the good Sifang Court seemed to be built against the wall, and it looked very abrupt.
Without waiting for Hades to answer, Xu Wang walked into the veranda and came to the door of the first room. When he looked up, he saw two small wooden plaques hanging on the lintel—[West Wing][Sun].
This time there is no need for the King of Hell, this is indeed Xiaoxue's residence, the west wing.
There are small wooden signs hanging in the four rooms, which together are [Sun][Month][Star][Can].
Quite particular, Xu Wang pulled the corners of his mouth mockingly, looked up at the sky, the dense dark clouds, the bleak moonlight, where is there a little "sun, moon and stars".
When he thought that Xiaoxue was behind one of these four doors, Xu Wang suddenly became uneasy. It was a very complicated anxiety, mixed with tension, distress, excitement, and many indescribable emotions.
Wu Sheng saw his hesitation and understood his inner fluctuations, because he was the same.
But he's here, the only thing he can do is to keep moving forward to find Xiaoxue - if possible, bring him out of this cold darkness.
Thinking of this, Wu Sheng looked decisively at King Yan, ready to ask him which room Chi Yingxue lived in. Before I wanted to speak, an unexpected reminder sounded in my ear—
[Owl: Congratulations on finding a 9/23 hell badge!]
Wu Sheng raised his eyebrows, and Xu Wang, who also heard the prompt, looked at each other.
A crisp "ding--" came from the arm.
Click on the hidden item bar, and sure enough, there is an extra badge.
Along the way, the mood almost fell into the abyss, and finally met a happy thing.
"Old Qian or Xiao Kuang?" Xu Wang asked Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng didn't really know how to count. After hesitating for a few seconds, he gave an extremely standard answer: "It's either old money or a small situation."
Xu Wang: "..."
"Kara-"
Suddenly there was a small sound of rock breaking from the east.
The three turned their heads together.
It's that towering wall that's cracking a little bit, and it's about to...
"Boom-"
collapse.
The heavy dust flew up in an instant, covering the sky and the sun.
Xu Wang just wanted to cover his nose so as not to inhale the sand, but he saw a looming figure behind the high wall ruins, in the misty dust, so stalwart, so familiar...
"Old money?!"
In the remnants of the collapse, the call still managed to reach the other side of the ruins. Soon, Qian Ai's response came: "Captain? Where are you? Can you still see us with this visibility?!"
Xu Wang was stunned: "You—you?"
Qian Ai: "Me and Xiao Kuang!"
"..." Xu Wang stared at him for a long time, but he still didn't see Kuang Jinxin's small body. Obviously, in terms of "obviousness", there was still a long way between Xiao Kuang and Lao Qian.
Realizing this, Captain Xu decided not to struggle, and asked the key point directly: "How did you meet—"
After asking this question, most of the dust had settled, and the two people on the opposite side finally saw Xu Wang's side clearly.
Looking at each other, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin were startled, especially Qian Ai, who immediately forgot what Xu Wang asked just now: "You guys... fell into a shit hole?"
Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Yan Wang, the three sauce people, you look at me, I look at you, the black line.
"It's chocolate!!!"
After shouting, Xu Wang hurriedly urged: "Don't stand stupidly, come here quickly, this is the west wing."
Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin looked at each other and hurried over.
The squad finally reunited.
But Xu Wang didn't have time to feel relieved when he found that Kuang Jinxin's face was terribly swollen. Looking closely, there were still clear handprints on his cheeks, and immediately glared at Qian Ai: "You hit him?!"
Qian Aitian dropped a pot and smashed it loudly: "Why am I hitting him?!"
Xu Wang: "It's just being dominated by hallucinations, or possessed by something..."
Qian Ai was tired: "Captain, you have too many brainstorming scenes..."
Kuang Jinxin didn't care about the injury on his face, but he was more concerned about the third person beside Xu Wang and Wu Sheng: "Brother Sheng, who is he?"
"Ye Wang." Wu Sheng was simple and clear.
Kuang Jinxin was stunned, and Qian Ai was also stunned. The two looked at the King of Hell together. They were completely unfamiliar. With the blessing of the chocolate sauce, they couldn't connect with the King of Hell they knew.
"It's a long story, so I won't say it," Wu Sheng said decisively, "Find Xiaoxue first."
Xu Wang, Qian Ai, and Kuang Jinxin agreed.
To really talk about it, there is a lot of confusion that needs to be solved. How did Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin meet, how did Kuang Jinxin get hurt on his face, why did the King of Hell appear, and why did the King of Hell look like this, and the east wing that Kuang Jinxin and Qian Ai experienced, what Wu Sheng and Xu Wang experienced Shishi, I want to summarize the information thoroughly, I am afraid that it will not be completed until 5:00 in the morning.
"Ye Wang, which room does Xiaoxue live in?" Wu Sheng went straight to the point.
Yan Wang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not good."
Xu Wang frowned: "Don't you always come to play with him? Don't you tell me that his bedroom is also randomly changed?"
Hades said solemnly: "It is indeed a random change, depending on his mood."
"..." Xu Wang was convinced.
"It's not easy, so find a room for one person." Qian Ai suggested, "Anyway, we have a lot of people."
The King of Hell does not agree: "Let's come one by one, in case it is like a stone room, there are traps inside, or dangerous things break out, and it is too laborious to deal with four rooms at one time."
"Okay, just come one by one. Lao Qian, open the door!" Xu Wang made a quick decision, otherwise he would have enough time to open four doors.
Qian Aideling, relying on the support of 3.5 teammates behind him - half of the unfamiliar Hades - was full of confidence, and pushed his hands towards the door!
"Bang!"
The strength is great.
Qian Ai was startled, and quickly pressed the door to stabilize it.
The room was empty, with a half-person-high wooden cabinet in the center. The cabinet looks very old, but the wood grain of the cabinet is still beautiful, the color is reddish-brown with yellow, and it looks like good old furniture on wood.
It was the first time that Xu Wang and Wu Sheng saw the interior of the wing, and they were uncertain about the situation for a while. Qian Ai was a visitor, and immediately said: "Xiao Kuang and I were just like this in the east wing. Basically, there is no furniture in every room, just... some phantoms."
Qian Ai didn't want to admit that those were Xiaoxue, even if he knew in his heart that it was true, he still didn't want to admit it.
Xu Wang didn't know what they were going through, so he heard the words and asked: "Is this cabinet also a phantom?"
Qian Ai hesitated.
Kuang Jinxin looked at him, and in the meeting, the two people who had experienced the east wing actually already had the answer.
"It's also possible, Xiaoxue is inside."
The night was eerily quiet.
The faint moonlight like a tulle, caged the ruins of the walls, caged the east and west wing rooms, caged the entire house.
Xu Wang cautiously stepped into the threshold, and at the same time whispered to his companions behind him: "Everyone be careful."
He slowly approached the wooden cabinet, and when he came to him, nothing happened.
Bending down slightly, he put his hand on the handle of the wooden cabinet, Xu Wang held his breath, and slowly opened the cabinet door...
empty.
As soon as Xu Wang frowned, he heard the sound of the door closing behind him!
He turned around abruptly, and the door was tightly sealed!
At the same time, the floor tiles under your feet suddenly turned into swamp-like mud, and the little friends were sinking involuntarily!
"What the hell!" Qian Ai struggled, but the more he struggled, the faster he fell. Seeing that Xu Wang and Kuang Jinxin were also suffering, he immediately took up the banner of force, "Don't be afraid, captain, leave it to me—"
A solid feeling suddenly came from under Xu Wang's feet that had fallen into the mud. He was refreshed and hurriedly shouted: "Old Qian, don't..."
[Owl: Someone used on you~~]
Still a step too late.
The silt that spread to the thighs froze into hard soil in an instant, causing everyone's legs to feel unbearably painful, not only numb, but also cold. I always felt that Qian Ai's trick froze not only the soil, but also the flesh.
"Hurry up." Xu Wangzhen couldn't hold on for a second.
Qian Ai was also uncomfortable, but: "I have to continue to sink after it is lifted."
Xu Wang collapsed: "I can't sink anymore, I've stepped on it to the end!"
"Ah?" Qian Ai looked at Jin Xin as if asking for evidence.
The latter nodded: "Well, I also stepped on it to the end."
Qian Ai was stunned: "Then why didn't I?"
Xu Wang: "Who made you flutter!"
Qian Ai: "… "
Stationery effect removed.
With an uneasy heart, Qian Ai sank another two centimeters, and sure enough, it was the end.
The so-called terrifying swamp didn't even reach the thigh.
He tried to move forward, but he moved, albeit slowly.
In contrast, Xu Wang's movements were inexplicably fast. Qian Ai had just taken two steps to try, but he had already reached the door and started to pull the door hard.
But it didn't work, the door didn't move.
In the dim moonlight, Kuang Jinxin's question sounded: "Captain, where are Brother Sheng and King Yan..."
Only then did Qian Ai realize that there were only the three of them in the room.
As for Xu Wang, he should have discovered this long ago, because at the moment he was competing with the door, and his eyes were full of anxiety and worry.
Did they just escape? Or fall into another trap? Or is there a more powerful and dangerous person outside the door, trapping them both? Countless thoughts rushed out, and Xu Wang's head almost exploded.
…
[West Wing] [Can].
Hades didn't even look at [month] [star], he came directly to the fourth room, and without hesitation, pushed the door open.
This is a completely different room from the [West Wing] [Japanese], warmly furnished and fully furnished. The curtains are velvet, the sofa is fabric, the chandelier is simple and artistic, and the carpet is soft and fresh.
The only thing that is the same is that there is also an old cabinet here, which doesn't match the style of the whole room at all, like an intruder, huddled in a dark corner.
But this cabinet has a lock on it.
Hades didn't look at anything else, and went straight to the corner. The firm pace shows that he knows his purpose is here.
Standing in front of the wooden cabinet, he put his hands on the top of the cabinet and took a deep breath, as if trying to calm the turbulence in his heart. But when he opened his mouth, his voice was still trembling slightly - because of excitement, because of excitement.
"I still found it here." He looked at the cabinet, as if it was not wood but glass, and he could directly see the people inside, "Thank you for thinking about the last stone wall, using my birthday? Oh, if I'm coming alone, I really can't solve it..."
"But these are not important anymore. I came here today to help you realize your wish..."
As he spoke, he came to the window, took out a lighter from his arms, lit it, the fire illuminated the scorching heat in his eyes, as well as the scorching depths of the scorching yin that slowly gathered.
"Don't you like to hide?" His voice was very soft, almost murmured, "Then hide forever and don't come out."
The flames were close to the curtains, and in the slightly hot flames, a fire that engulfed the entire wooden room, and even the mansion...
"I thought you would change your mind." Wu Sheng's voice came from behind.
Yan Wang was shocked and instinctively turned back, but his hand was suddenly caught, and in a flash, the lighter changed hands.
pat.
Wu Sheng closed the lid of the lighter, looked at the beautifully engraved patterns on the metal body, and sighed regretfully, "Such a tasteful lighter is not for you to use to kill people."
After speaking, he naturally put it into his pocket.
Hades doesn't care about lighters, he's already here, and if he wants to kill, he has countless ways.
But there was one thing he had to figure out: "When did you find out?"
"Do you see through your lies, or see through your plans?" Wu Sheng needs to ask questions clearly.
"Is there a difference?" Hades frowned, annoyed at being played.
Wu Sheng shrugged, making him feel depressed and understand: "After passing through the stone room of the slide, I knew you were lying, because you know that there are slides and mice in the stone room, which means you have met that mouse before, but the three of us joined forces. beat back…”
"Of course, you also said that this time I don't know why, the mouse has become more powerful, but the logic is very reluctant. It is like a firewall, it can of course be upgraded, but most upgrades are based on discovered vulnerabilities. For the mouse to increase its combat power to the level that three people can compete against, the premise must be that three people have already passed through this place, so that the mouse can see the improvement of the intruder's combat power. However, only you know this road, and only you have been here... "
"As for your plan, after knowing that you lied, it is much simpler. You said that the things in the last two stone chambers are changing randomly, and you don't know what it will be. Since this is a lie, there is only one explanation. You've never broken into the back two stone chambers, which means you've never defeated the mouse..."
"Then it's obvious what your plan is," Wu Sheng fixedly looked at him, word by word, "You need to use our strength to reach Chi Yingxue."
"And I came here to do bad things, right?" Hades smiled, his voice was faintly cold, but calm.
Wu Sheng also smiled at him: "It's only a thief who has a guilty conscience. Have you ever seen anyone who did good deeds and cheated all the way?"
"Since I discovered it long ago, why did I say it now?" Hades looked at the [West Wing] [Sun] with the door still closed, "If you exposed me earlier, they would not have been trapped."
"Your little tricks won't hold them for long." Wu Sheng said, "If you change your mind now, I can pretend that nothing happened."
Hades was really curious this time, and tilted his head to look at Wu Sheng for a long time: "We don't seem to have any friendship, right? Why are you so generous and keep giving me a retreat?"
Wu Sheng narrowed his eyes, half-smiling, "We don't have friendship?"
His eyes are like X-rays, which can pierce people.
Yan Wang was stared at and felt uncomfortable. At the end, he made a "squeak" and showed his cards: "Yes, I remember it all. I remember how I joined the team and how I entered the castle love line with you. Are you satisfied?"
Wu Sheng didn't take the opportunity to ridicule, but said it again seriously: "Come on."
Hades was unshakable: "Impossible."
Wu Sheng said, "Xu Wang and I brought you here. If you kill Xiaoxue, it means we are indirectly killing people."
Hades sneered nonchalantly: "So?"
Wu Sheng's eyes sank and his face was frosty: "Xu Wang and I treat you as friends, I don't care, but I advise you not to make him sad."
