This Antique is Haunted


Chapter 53: Alice's music box

Views:

"Meow, what the hell is this place!" An Jiu was so scared that Mao exploded.

Gu Huaiyu glanced around calmly, if it wasn't for her strength to lick the cat.

An Jiu was beaten up by her severely several times, and the frightened hair collapsed.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, first see if there is a way to get out." Gu Huaiyu sighed and looked at the magnificent scene in front of him.

At that time, they saw Xiaoqian fiddle with the music box and wanted to stop her, but they didn't expect the scene before them to change in an instant.

The men and women dancing around are surrounded by people who specialize in music, and the clothes they wear, without exception, are European medieval costumes, which are complicated and gorgeous.

Gu Huaiyu tugged at the tutu skirt on her body, and tweeted slightly. She had never worn this skirt. It was too young for an elderly person like her.

Just as Gu Huaiyu was playing around with her skirt, a man suddenly walked up to her. The man did not speak, but acted like a gentleman. Then he stretched out his hand and motioned to Gu Huaiyu to dance with him.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly calmed down. The dancers stopped dancing and the musicians stopped playing music. Instead, they all turned their heads and looked at them.

Gu Huaiyu didn't hesitate at all, but directly rejected the opponent.

But the man didn't give up, he still stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture.

The people around seemed to be waiting for her to agree.

"Boss Gu, this person smells of wood scum. Don't dance with him. It smells bad." An Jiu who had been nestled in her arms suddenly spoke.

In fact, An Jiu has a bit of vinegar for snacks. He felt that Boss Gu was so good, how could such an ordinary man invite him, and the other party did have a smell of wood scum, so he just said directly.

"Well, I know." Gu Huaiyu comforted him.

Seeing that it was useless to reject the other party, Gu Huaiyu decided not to talk to him, but walked in the direction of the gate.

When she refused the person in front of her for the first time, she had already seen the door, but was a little confused by the group of people staring at her, so she was delayed for a while.

Gu Huaiyu walked toward the gate, originally thinking that someone would stop him from leaving, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Before going out, Gu Huaiyu inadvertently caught a glimpse of the expressionless people behind him, his eyes were very hollow, looking at her as if he was looking at something insignificant.

This look made Gu Huaiyu a little uncomfortable, but she didn't plan to be troublesome, and decided in her heart to wait for Xiao Qian's music box to get back and see what it was.

She is like Cinderella running away at midnight, wearing a heavy dress, walking aimlessly on the street.

The whole street was dark, and the only light source probably came from the ball she was in just now.

Gu Huaiyu recognized the road in front of her as she walked, because it was too dark, and she was afraid that she would go the wrong way for a while.

After walking for a long time, I originally thought that I was far away from the dance, but I didn't expect that when I looked up, I saw the entrance to the dance.

Gu Huaiyu's brow furrowed, his steps did not stop, and he turned and walked along the same path as he walked back and forth.

This is similar to a ghost hitting a wall, and there are generally only two ways to crack it.

One is to stay where you are and wait until dawn.

The second is to crack the ghost wall with skill.

Thinking of Xiao Qian, Gu Huaiyu directly eliminated the first one. If she guessed correctly, there would be no daylight here.

She knew this after saving the two cubs a few days ago, Xiao Qian seemed to have a certain range of control, allowing people to stay in the dark space forever.

She walked along the way she came and went to see if she walked back now, the way would still be different.

Gu Huaiyu's plan was also clear in An Jiu's heart, so he also seriously smelled the smell in the air. If they walked by, then the smell of them would be left in the air.

Especially boss Gu, the taste on her body can be said to be unique.

An Jiu's thoughts inevitably drifted a little.

He remembered the first time he smelled Boss Gu's smell, because it smelled so good, he couldn't help asking, "Boss Gu, your body smells so good, do you have any perfume?"

Then he remembered that Boss Gu looked at himself inexplicably at the time, and after a long silence, she quietly replied to herself, "It may be daughter Xiang."

Since then, An Jiu has vowed that if he asks Boss Gu about these silly words, he will slap himself in the face.

The time point was pulled back to the present, An Jiu smelled it for a long time, and finally smelled the smell of Boss Gu.

"Boss Gu, we have passed here." An Jiu immediately raised his hand to speak.

Gu Huaiyu's faint voice came over his head, "Well, I know. Because we are standing at the entrance of the dance party now."

"Huh?" An Jiuyou was stunned, and then he looked up, oh, he was really at the entrance of the prom. "Then what should I do now?"

I can’t go out anymore, and it’s like walking in circles back and forth, and it’s impossible to wait until dawn.

Gu Huaiyu thought for a while and walked forward to open the door of the ball.

Cinderella, who had fled before, is back again, and everyone present still maintains her movement as she left, as if she was sure she would come back.

Seeing Gu Huaiyu, the man who had invited her to dance stepped forward again and stretched out his hand to invite her to dance.

Gu Huaiyu looked down at the opponent's outstretched hand, smiled slightly, and then turned and left.

A group of people staying in place were left behind her.

Seeing Gu Huaiyu coming out, An Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Boss Gu couldn't think of it for a while, and agreed to go dancing with that man.

"Xiao Jiu, you are right." Gu Huaiyu suddenly said, "That's a bunch of wood scum." When he said this, Gu Huaiyu chuckled, "It's still very poor quality, and the details are not handled well. "

"Huh?" An Jiu was a little dazed, wondering why Boss Gu said this suddenly after coming out of the dance party.

Gu Huaiyu remembered the scene he had just seen.

The man who invited her to dance had no knots at all on his hands, just like a doll made at random, his fingers could not be bent, and there were traces of wood on the palms of his hands.

That's why Gu Huaiyu was very sure that everyone at the party was not human, but human-shaped dolls cut out of wood. As for the masks on their faces, it is probably because their faces have not been carved yet.

"Let's go, since we can't go out back and forth, then we will change the direction." After saying that, Gu Huaiyu took An Jiu to find another way and walked to the left.

The lanes on the left and right looked darker, but it didn't matter whether there was light or not. With An Jiu, she wouldn't deviate from the direction and walk back to the original point.

I don't know how long he has been away, An Jiu suddenly said, "Boss Gu, there is a smell in front of this." He sniffed it carefully, "It's not the smell of wood scum, and it's not ours."

"That's it, let's go take a look." Gu Huaiyu looked very calm and walked in the direction where the smell came from An Jiu.
