Ye Yanzhi frowned suddenly.
Xiao Yu was still smiling, looking up at him.
"How?" she hissed, "I told you the information, what are you waiting for? Don't hurry up?"
Kou Dong squatted in front of her without answering.
Xiao Yu's voice sounded a little anxious. She urged: "Why don't you go! Do you still want to stay in this ghost place—"
Before she finished speaking, she saw that the child in front of her had a serious expression on her face, and her hands tightly pinched her chin, not letting her look away.
"Again," Kou Dong said, "what's inside?"
"..."
Xiao Yu was startled suddenly, and his back felt a bit chilly like ants crawling over. She didn't expect that the person in front of her was also extremely imposing, but she had never let it out in front of her before.
Her voice unconsciously weakened a little, and her throat rolled down, "Little embolus..."
"to be frank."
The strength in Kou Dong's hand became stronger, and he said softly, "Remember, if you don't speak well—you will have a second round of wooden figures."
Hearing the word wooden man, Xiao Yu struggled suddenly, his eyes filled with resentment: "You don't have the right! You...they won't listen!"
Kou Dong said, "Really."
There was also a smile on the corner of his lips, "Do you think they won't listen?"
"..."
Xiao Yu was speechless. She knows her position in the circus better than anyone else. These members don't like her, let alone value her. Looking at her is more like looking at a crudely made failure, so they want to bring her back to life. make.
But the person in front of me...
Thinking of those NPC's burning eyes, Xiao Yu actually felt a little jealous in his heart.
This person speaks, will they listen
... why
They are also players, if this person speaks, why do they listen
Kou Dong has more strength in his hands.
"Still telling the truth?"
He was not a rough person, but now he was really forced out of his temper by this little girl. Without thinking about it, he knew that there would definitely not be a little embolus that could be brought out smoothly in that room—maybe, he could die in it directly.
Ah Xue's daily reminders sounded the alarm to Kou Dong, not only guarding against NPCs, but also guarding against the people in the dungeon.
Xiao Yu was in pain, and finally shouted, "I say, I say!"
There were tears in her eyes, her speech was intermittent, and she said in fear: "I-I actually don't know what's inside."
After finishing speaking, she was afraid that Kou Dong would not believe it, and she hastily added: "It's true! I only know that there are people inside, and I heard the sound—but it's not the sound of people walking, it's something rolling on the ground."
Kou Dong asked, "What?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and replied in a low voice, "I don't know about that."
She glanced at the dark backstage, and whispered: "But they... are all scared."
"They always say, it's too late, it's too late, I haven't found it yet."
She swallowed again, her pupils shrinking slightly, as if she remembered the scene when she heard this sentence.
"... when they say that, it's as if it's not just us—even themselves, who are going to die with them."
Kou Dong sneered.
"So you let me in?"
Xiao Yu was speechless, and after a while he argued forcefully: "But there really might be Little Shuanzi inside! I think it must be! If you want to leave, you must open the door of that room..."
As she spoke, she looked out again.
"But they don't allow people to go in. Why don't you go in now and I'll let you in?"
Kou Dong stared at her closely, as if he heard a ridiculous joke, "Why should I believe you?"
"If you go out, what harm will it do to me?" Xiao Yu said convincingly, "We are all companions, and I hope you will be luckier than me."
It's beautifully said. It seems that the past few days in the circus have not only transformed people's skins, but also transformed their words and deeds. This is not something that the pampered Xiao Yu can say.
So sincere, Kou Dong was silent for a while, and finally replied: "Okay."
He listened carefully to the sound, and the performance outside was still going on. The bustling drama and the cheers and applause of the underground audience rang together, as if it was a scene of peace and prosperity.
The members didn't intend to come in again, so Kou Dong waved to Xiao Yu and led her to the door.
"Hurry up," Xiao Yu urged, "If you don't hurry up, they'll be over!":
Kou Dong made a secret sign with her. If you successfully open the door of that room and sneak into the room, you will meow like a cat; otherwise, you will meow like a dog.
This is not a difficult task, Xiao Yu wrote it down. He carefully observed the direction over there again, and watched the child in front of him slip away in small steps. It's just that she is in the backstage now, and the big-headed doll has tied her rope to the leg of the chair. She really can't go far, so she can only listen desperately, guessing where Kou Dong is now.
The first thing that reached her ears was a soft knock on the door.
Most of the doors in the circus have been in disrepair for a long time. Although they still look dignified, when they are really closed or opened, the old and ugly parts inside will creak and creak.
Xiao Yu's heart skipped a beat.
... he went in
She raised her head and looked around, remembering what the big-headed doll whispered in her ear just now when she left.
"Let him make a mistake and tell us."
When he said this, the big headed baby had a weird smile on his face. Pointy and thin palms patted her head. "can not do well-"
He shook his waist, and there was also a cloth bag hanging there. Xiao Yu knew what was inside, and she trembled. She didn't even want to think about how the man would be treated after he made a mistake and was caught. She couldn't wait to assure the big-headed baby: "I will definitely do it well! Don't make me smoke Man, I must be able to fool him..."
She has to do it for herself.
People always have to do it for themselves—
After abandoning the so-called conscience for the first time, it is much easier to abandon the second time. Xiao Yu gritted his teeth, and when he heard the sound of the wooden door hitting the frame, he was sure that Kou Dong had closed the door and stepped into the last room.
She cried impatiently.
"Someone! Someone!" she cried. "He's in!"
The loud gongs and drums in front of him stopped suddenly, and immediately, the head of the big-headed doll, which was twice as big as an ordinary person, appeared in front of his eyes. Other people came out one after another from behind, and they all stood in front of him, watching.
The big-headed doll seemed to jump off the stage all of a sudden, and asked, "Where is he?"
Xiao Yu hurriedly pointed to him, "The last one! I, I let him enter the last one..."
Hearing the words "the last room", the big-headed baby's face also changed, as if he was a little hesitant. A few seconds later, the longing for the child still overwhelmed the fear, he made up his mind, strode towards the last room with his thin and lonely legs.
Standing in front of the door, he raised his hand, paused for a moment, finally knocked on the door three times, and respectfully said: "Sir..."
A voice came from inside, said lightly: "Say."
The voice didn't sound very old, more like a boy of thirteen or fourteen. But the big-headed baby seemed to have seen a ghost, trembling, and lowered his voice, "I want to ask, has anyone ever broken into the room and disturbed your rest?"
After saying this sentence, he stood holding his breath, and stood respectfully in front of the door.
Half a day later, I heard a voice from inside the door reply: "No."
The big-headed baby's expression changed suddenly.
never
He couldn't believe it, Xiao Yu also raised his head, looking surprised.
"How is it possible!" She was afraid that the big-headed baby would accuse her of lying, so she hurriedly said, "I heard it clearly—he did open the door, he must be inside!"
The big-headed doll lowered her face and kicked her with her toes, with a gloomy voice.
"You fool me?"
"I... I didn't!" Xiao Yu hurriedly defended himself, and suddenly seemed to think of something, pointing to the door, "He lied, he didn't tell the truth! Either, or he didn't see..."
The big-headed baby didn't listen to this at all, and had already shaken the cloth bag on his body. When Xiao Yu saw the cloth bag, he was completely lost. He didn't know where the courage came from, but he rushed forward suddenly and forced the door open.
"He's in there—I'm going to get him out now!"
She said, looking up.
"Right here..."
Her voice suddenly paused, and it seemed that it was stuck in her throat, and she stared at her eyes.
The white mist filled the air, and it took a little effort to vaguely distinguish the outline inside. The whole room was lit with lamps, and the lamps were shaking in the smoke, with some words written on them in bright red cinnabar. She couldn't see clearly, but that bit of cinnabar pierced her eyes through the fog.
She heard a creepy movement, and immediately, perhaps because of fear, or perhaps because of being made into a sheep, her body was still unable to coordinate as before.
She stumbled forward and bumped heavily into the corner of the table in the fog. Something suddenly fell from a height and landed at her feet.
Xiao Yu lowered his head for a glance, and then he couldn't control himself and started screaming.
It was boxy, slender, and black. On it was written the name in gold letters, and the date of birth.
It's a dead man's tablet.
Looking at this room again, what kind of room is there—it is clearly an altar!
Xiao Yu panted violently, and was overwhelmed by fear for a moment, and hurriedly retreated. Her eyes were wide open, and immediately she saw a slender hand from the white mist.
That hand slowly approached the ground, picked up the tablet on the ground, and placed it in his arms.
"Are you scared?"
The man had a soft voice.
Xiao Yu's heart relaxed slightly, only thinking that the other party spoke better than he imagined, and hurriedly apologized. But when she saw the scene in front of her clearly, she couldn't utter those words just now.
That wasn't addressed to her.
The man was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, patting the tablet lightly with his hands, as if he was coaxing a child younger than him.
—He was talking to the tablet.
He has a handsome face. His skin and flesh are extremely white—the kind of cold, not very popular white. At this moment, his eyes are focused. If he ignores the lifeless tablet in his hand, this picture can be called pleasing to the eye.
It's just that he only has a full upper body. From the thigh down, the trouser legs suddenly collapsed, and there was nothing inside, nothing.
Xiao Yu had seen many people who lacked hands and feet in the circus, but none of them could bring her such a strong sense of oppression like the one in front of her. Just not running away in front of the other party seemed to have exhausted all her strength.
Her lips trembled a little, she raised her head and begged, "I didn't mean it, you..."
The boy was stuck in the wooden wheelchair and never looked up at her.
"Take it down." He said lightly, caressing the tablet cherishingly.
"—she messed up the girl."
Xiao Yu suddenly sat on the ground, his face ashen.
The cloth bag was shaken again, but she saw another figure.
Kou Dong did not know when he appeared at the door, standing behind the beauty snake, also looking at her.
"..."
Xiao Yu couldn't believe it. She moved her lips and said with difficulty: "How did you escape?"
"Say what?"
Kou Dong replied.
"—I didn't come in at all."
He is not a fool either. In fact, how many fools can there be in this world.
He had already been cheated by Xiao Yu once, how could he be cheated a second time.
From the very beginning, Kou Dong had no intention of walking through that door by himself.
But he had to know what was inside the door.
What if it is really a small embolus
Under such circumstances, he chose to gamble that Xiao Yu would inform these ghosts. Once the report is successful, in order to find him out and punish him justifiably, these group of NPCs may break into the house, open the door by themselves, and reveal to him the people hidden inside.
It really is a person inside.
Xiao Yu: "You don't believe me?!"
Kou Dong looked at her, seeming to find it funny.
"Do you think that you are still worthy of trust when you are with me?"
It's too early to go bankrupt, okay
Xiao Yu was also speechless for a moment, and only then did he realize that the person in front of him had lost trust in her from the very beginning. No wonder he agreed so simply at that time.
She thought she had tricked him—
How did she know that she herself was the one who was really deceived!
All of a sudden, anger and shame came to my heart. Xiao Yu pursed his lips tightly and didn't even say a word.
Since he didn't enter the house, the ghosts had no reason to attack him directly, so they could only watch him walk over—
At the same time, the sound of a wheelchair rumbling suddenly sounded in the room.
Kou Dong looked over and met the eyes of the man in the wheelchair.
That look made him pause, and he suddenly remembered what he had heard from Beggar.
"You look a lot like that guy."
"If he sees it, he'll go crazy..."
The author has something to say:
Kou Dong: I am too southern.
I tried my best to escape, but all of you just want to see me be...
