"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Angry roars mixed with terrified cries, Ke Xu and Ning Zishan rushed downstairs in twos and twos.

In the corridor on the second floor, in front of Wu Duoduo's room, Wu Duoduo pressed Xiang Hongwen under him like crazy, stabbed Xiang Hongwen with a fruit knife in both hands, and kept shouting: "How dare you destroy my Art! I'm going to kill you! Kill you!!"

Xiang Hongwen subconsciously raised his hand to block it, but found that Wu Duoduo's strength was so great that he couldn't stop it at all. The fruit knife directly plunged into his shoulder, and Xiang Hongwen yelled, the pain made his whole body stiffen.

Wang Zuoling seemed to be stupefied with fright, and sat down by the wall, staring blankly at the two of them, without the slightest intention to help Hongwen.

I didn't see Gu Siyue in the corridor, probably because I was frightened by the sudden situation and hid in the room.

Wu Duoduo pulled out the knife from Xiang Hongwen's shoulder, and sprayed blood on his face, but he raised the fruit knife again as if he didn't feel it, this time aiming at Xiang Hongwen's neck, and shouted :"go to hell!!!"

At the very moment, a calm male voice suddenly came from the other end of the corridor. Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear: "I smashed your sculpture."

Wu Duoduo stopped moving, turned his head suddenly and stared at Ke Xu fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say?"

That crazy appearance made Ning Zishan's heart palpitate.

Ke Xu pushed Ning Zishan back calmly, motioning him to stay away from him, but his voice was still calm: "I said that I smashed your sculpture, and I destroyed your art. Killing you should also kill me."

He was provoking Wu Duoduo, trying to save Xiang Hongwen from the knife!

Ning Zishan knows Ke Xu's skills. In the last dungeon, he killed seven demons by himself. In comparison, Wu Duoduo looks like a chicken, but it doesn't mean he won't worry about Ke Xu. , all nerves tensed up uncontrollably.

Sure enough, when Wu Duoduo knew that Ke Xu was the instigator, he instantly transferred the hatred to him.

"I'm going to kill you!" Wu Duoduo roared angrily, and let go of Xiang Hongwen. The joy of escaping from the dead made Xiang Hongwen heave a sigh of relief, but before he could completely relax, he felt a chill in his neck, and Xiang Hongwen subconsciously He raised his hand to touch it, but his hand felt sticky, and then bright red blood spurted out from his severed carotid artery like a small fountain, staining the white wall and Wang Zuoling's blank face red.

Xiang Hongwen looked at Wu Duoduo in disbelief, his chin was also splashed with his own blood, but the other party grinned like a devil, licked the blood into his mouth with the tip of his scarlet tongue, and smacked it as if tasting it. He smacked his lips, and then spat out the bloody saliva as if he had eaten something disgusting.

Blood dripped from the silver blade, forming a plump ball, falling from his eyes like a slow motion that had been slowed down countless times, Xiang Hongwen's eyes gradually lost sight, and finally lost focus, and he slumped softly on the floor superior.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa then . He covered his wound, but no matter how hard he tried, the blood kept gushing out from between his fingers, gurgling into a pool on the floor.

With a strange smile on his face, Wu Duoduo raised the fruit knife and pointed it at the top of the weeping Wang Zuoling.

In the blink of an eye, Ke Xu rushed up and kicked Wu Duoduo's knee, twisted his arm while he was staggering, and used his strength to remove the fruit knife, pressing Wu Duoduo to the floor.

Wu Duoduo's strength was enormous, and he let out a beast-like roar from his mouth, struggling violently.

Ke Xu bent his knees to support his waist, and increased his strength with both hands. If ordinary people were treated like this, they would have broken bones, but Wu Duoduo's arm was twisted into a terrible position as if he had no bones.

However, he himself struggled more intensely as if he didn't feel it. Anyone who saw this situation would not treat Wu Duoduo as a human being again.

Seeing that Ke Xu was struggling more and more, Ning Zishan rushed forward to help hold Wu Duoduo's legs, while shouting at Wang Zuoling who was still trying to make Xiang Hongwen cover his wound, who was out of breath, "Come and help!"

Wang Zuoling turned a deaf ear and just hugged Xiang Hongwen and howled.

At this time, Gu Siyue's voice came from behind: "Brother Ning! Here, the rope!"

Ning Zishan took it and saw that it was two curtain ropes.

Although it's a bit short, it's okay to tie up the hands and feet for the time being. He took the rope and heard Ke Xu say: "Go and find a few more, I'm afraid these two won't be enough!"

Gu Siyue responded, and came back quickly: "I didn't find the rope, only a roll of wide tape."

Adhesive tape is also available. The two quickly wrapped Wu Duoduo's straps tightly, and found a towel to stop his yelling mouth, and then wiped the sweat from his head and stood up.

Wu Duoduo lost his mobility and kept flipping on the floor like a fish out of water. Ning Zishan forcefully pulled Wang Zuoling out of the pool of blood. Wang Zuoling's legs were really weak, and Ning Zishan pulled him up. As soon as he let go, he fell back to his seat again, leaning against the wall and trembling, but his eyes seemed to be glued to Xiang Hongwen's bloody corpse, and he didn't leave for a moment.

Ke Xu knelt down and checked Xiang Hongwen's body, then shook his head slightly at Ning Zishan.

Even if he didn't tell everyone, everyone knew that Xiang Hongwen's carotid artery was severed with a knife, and even a god could not save him.

"What's going on?" Xiaoxin and Liu Ruge didn't come upstairs until the commotion subsided.

Ke Xu stood up and showed them the corpse on the ground and the blood all over the corridor.

Liu Ruge screamed, as if he was about to die, his body limp and fell into Xiaoxin's arms.

Xiao Xin also gasped in fright at the blood all over the corridor, but she still pretended to be calm and asked, "Why, what's going on?"

Ke Xu looked directly at her: "Can't you see what's going on? Or is it too far away to see clearly?"

"Xiaoxin..." At this moment, Liu Ruge suddenly grabbed Xiaoxin's arm and retched. Siyue could hardly bear it anymore.

Xiao Xin ran her hands along Liu Ruge's back, and said quickly: "Master's wife is not feeling well, I'll send her upstairs to rest, and you can handle the corpses downstairs by yourself."

After finishing speaking, he ignored them at all, and went back to the third floor with Liu Ruge's arm.

Gu Siyue looked at the backs of the two and stomped her feet angrily: "Aren't they the owners of the villa? Why are they so indifferent when they see their family dead?"

Seemingly familiar with this phenomenon, Ke Xu said calmly, "Let me give you a piece of advice, never count on the NPCs in the instance."

"I, can I... go back to my room and stay with Xiaowen, later?" Wang Zuoling finally calmed down a little bit, his eyes were red, and he squatted down again | He put Xiang Hongwen in his arms, Xiang Hongwen's death It seemed to have greatly stimulated him, the whole person seemed to lose his soul, and he couldn't even speak fluently.

Ke Xu nodded, and watched him pick up Xiang Hongwen, and slowly went back to his room like a broken bone.

"The two of them..." Ning Zishan looked at Wang Zuoling's sad back and said, "Do you know each other in reality?"

Ke Xu said: "It looks like it is."

Ning Zishan lowered his eyes: "Seeing Wang Zuoling so sad, they must be good friends."

No one spoke, Ning Zishan suddenly thought of something, he looked up at Ke Xu again: "You have tried your best."

Knowing that he was talking about his attempt to save Xiang Hongwen, but failed in the end, Ke Xu lowered his eyelids, his fan-shaped long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Then what should he do?" Gu Siyue pointed at Wu Duoduo who was still writhing on the floor.

"It's not clear whether he has any connection with Qiu Jingshan's disappearance. Let's tie him up and lock him up." Ke Xu said while squatting down and picking up the fruit knife on the ground: "But before that, I still have something to do. Want to make sure."

As he spoke, he scratched Wu Duoduo's arm with a knife.

Blood gushed out from the wound, Ning Zishan looked at the red liquid and said, "He is bleeding, is he still human?"

Ke Xu threw away the fruit knife and said, "Look carefully, is the blood coming out of his body really?"

Ning Zishan squatted down suspiciously, and when he heard a familiar smell, he stared slightly, stretched out his hand to touch Wu Duoduo's wound, rubbed it with his hand again, and said in surprise: "It's not blood, it's paint." !"

"Sure enough, he is no longer human." Ke Xu stood up, dragged Wu Duoduo, who was almost trapped into a dumpling, and threw him into the room, and then found the key to lock him inside. After that, Ke Xu put away the key and opened the door I yawned.

Only then did Ning Zishan remember that he barely slept last night, so he suggested: "It's almost lunch time, let's go back to the room to rest and sort out our thoughts by the way."

Gu Siyue naturally had no objection, and Ke Xu agreed, so the three of them went back to Ning Zishan and Ke Xu's room together.

As soon as Gu Siyue entered the door, she looked around and said, "Huh? You don't have those annoying circles on the wall, it looks much more comfortable, and the room is bigger than mine."

Ke Xu went to the bed and sat down, Ning Zishan said to Gu Siyue, "Sit whatever you want."

Even though Ning Zishan said it was casual, Gu Siyue didn't dare to sit on the boss's bed casually, so she sat on a small sofa beside the bed honestly.

Ning Zishan sat down beside Ke Xu and said, "Since Wu Duoduo's head was used as a mold by Geng Huihuang, where did his body go? It's easy to hide a head, but what will Wu Duoduo do with such a big body?" What about the disposal?"

Ke Xu said suddenly: "Maybe it's time to feed the dog."

Ning Zishan & Gu Siyue: "..." Boss, can you stop uttering such terrible speculations in a casual tone like what you ate today?

At the same time, they both thought of the unknown, bloody piece of meat Meili used to feed the dog yesterday, and got goosebumps all over their bodies, thinking about it with horror.

Gu Siyue shook her head, as if she wanted to get rid of that horrible guess, and then couldn't help complaining: "We have been in this villa for two nights, and we haven't found anything related to Qiu Jingshan's disappearance. Not to mention the clues, two were crazy and two died, oh no, He Wei and Wu Duoduo should not be counted as people anymore. I don’t think that Liu Ruge sincerely wanted to find Qiu Jingshan, otherwise why would he be nesting upstairs every day? , Not only did they not provide clues, they didn’t even ask about the progress, they were just letting us go.”

"It's only been two nights, and there are only four of us left. Even so, you still haven't been able to face up to your situation." Ke Xu looked at Gu Siyue lightly, with a warning in his tone: "What the dungeon wants is from All the negative emotions of human beings, such as sadness, fear, tension, despair, etc., it will never be possible to put clues directly in front of the player to let the player pass the level easily. Don't try to figure out the world with real ideas, after all, everything is possible in dreams .”

Gu Siyue was silent, she did not have the tension that she would die at any time, she was born with rough nerves, Ke Xu was calm and strong, Ning Zishan was gentle and kind, Gu Siyue would feel safe when she was with them , and felt safe forever, but now Ke Xu's words gave her a sense of crisis again. She thought of Xiang Hongwen whose throat was cut in the corridor, Geng Huihuang whose head was beheaded in the room, and the sealed Wu Duoduo and He Wei in the painting, who can guarantee that she will not be the next to die?

Ning Zishan didn't say anything. Although Ke Xu's attitude was indifferent, Ning Zishan knew that his words were to sound the alarm for Gu Siyue's future. After all, the protection they could give was only temporary, and the road ahead still had to be considered. Yue walks by herself, pure thoughts will only make her die faster in this dangerous world.

He will never forget the cruelty and ferocity of the first dungeon. Although this dungeon does not show them death as intuitively as the first dungeon, compared to those visible dangers, this invisible The threat made him panic even more. If Ke Xu hadn't discovered the problem with the painting outside the door, none of them would have known that He Wei and Wu Duoduo had unconsciously become inhumans.

"However, I have some guesses about why Wu Duoduo and He Wei were replaced by the things in the painting." Ke Xu broke the silence: "Have you ever thought of any special things they did or said in the past two days? Something special?"

Ning Zishan pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of something: "We don't know what He Wei did yesterday, but the most impressive thing they have in common is that they have directly and loudly criticized Qiu Jingshan and his art before the accident. works, and expressed a strong distaste and disdain for them."

After listening to it, Ke Xu showed an approving expression: "Which artist can tolerate others to slander and trample on his own works at will?"

Ning Zishan immediately understood what Ke Xu meant, and he explained to Gu Siyue who was still a little confused: "So in the future, don't speak ill of Qiu Jingshan. It is very likely that He Wei and Wu Duoduo were pulled because of this. into the painting."

Gu Siyue's face turned pale. Although she didn't scold as badly as He Wei did before, she still said a lot about being mentally abnormal. Come find yourself.

Seeing this, Ning Zishan comforted, "If you want to go out tonight, we will definitely find a way to stop you."

Gu Siyue finally recovered after hearing what he said.

Ke Xu yawned lightly again, Ning Zishan looked at him and said, "You basically didn't sleep last night, do you want to catch up on sleep now? Lack of sleep will make your brain dull."

Ke Xu was also polite, nodded and went to bed, and lay down facing Ning Zishan sideways: "Then I'll sleep for a while, call me after lunch."

Ning Zishan hummed.

The boss wanted to catch up on sleep. In order not to disturb him, Ning Zishan and Gu Siyue also suspended the conversation. Gu Siyue didn't sleep well last night, and fell asleep on the sofa after a while. Ning Zishan found Leaning on the head of the bed, he casually flipped through the book.

Almost an hour later, Ning Zishan heard a series of footsteps coming from outside the door.

He opened the door and saw that Aunt Mao was carrying a bucket, a mop, and some cleaning utensils in her hands, as if she was going to clean up the bloodstains in the corridor.

Although she was wearing a big mask, Ning Zishan felt that she seemed happy to see him. She put down the things in her hands and gestured to Ning Zishan a few times, which meant that lunch was ready, and he could go downstairs if he was hungry. time to eat.

Ning Zishan nodded, went back to the room and looked at the time, and felt that it was about the same, so he woke up Ke Xu and Gu Siyue, Gu Siyue woke up fairly quickly, but Ke Xu hummed twice, trying to make the time go away Ning Zishan dragged her onto the bed as a humanoid pillow and continued to sleep. After Ning Zishan firmly resisted, Ke Xu got off the bed slowly and yawned.

Gu Siyue ate dog food to her heart's content, her face was full of aunt's smile, and when she went out, she was startled by Aunt Mao in the corridor because she couldn't concentrate.

Ke Xu glanced at Aunt Mao who was struggling to brush the corridor, and said lightly: "Are you quite skilled in the movements?"

What moves are proficient?The action of cleaning or the action of cleaning up blood?Although the two statements are similar at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, the meanings contained in them are fundamentally different. When Gu Siyue went downstairs, she couldn't help but look back again at the back of Aunt Mao squatting in the corridor washing and brushing. Don't dare to think about it further.

Afterwards, the three of them came to the restaurant together, and they were the only ones who came to lunch today. Gu Siyue had no appetite because she saw Xiang Hongwen's death just now, and looked at the table full of dishes in a daze.

Ke Xu seemed to have been thinking about something since he saw Aunt Mao, and he ate very absent-mindedly, even Ning Zishan lost his appetite.

Halfway through a tasteless meal, Ke Xu suddenly dropped the bowl and chopsticks, stood up from his seat and rushed out.

Seeing this, Ning Zishan quickly dropped his chopsticks and followed him. Seeing him rushing all the way to the end of the second floor, he took out the key and opened the door of Wu Duoduo's room, then cursed in a low voice.

Ning Zishan followed to see that Wu Duoduo, who was tied up into rice dumplings and locked in the room, had disappeared!

Curtain ropes and some broken tape were scattered on the carpet, and Geng Huihuang's head was missing.

Gu Siyue is short and can only see the situation in the room from the gap behind the two of them. She took a deep breath and said in disbelief: "Wu Duoduo is tied up like that and can escape from prison? Could it be that he can change into a prisoner?" Can Cheng Qie slip through the crack of the door?"

"How is this possible?" Ning Zishan said: "If he really has this ability, he should have escaped in this way when we first caught him. How could we wait until we tied him up and locked him up before thinking of escaping? , and the break marks on these tapes were obviously cut by a sharp weapon."

The door of Wu Duoduo's room was tightly blocked by the three people who rushed over. Aunt Mao couldn't see what was going on inside, so she could only stand against the wall for no reason, trying to give way to the three people. Ning Zishan turned her head Ask her: "Aunt Mao, did you see anyone going in or anyone coming out of this room?"

Aunt Mao shook her head.

Ning Zishan said: "Aunt Mao appeared in the corridor for less than half an hour, Wu Duoduo was left unattended for at least an hour after being locked up, although I didn't hear anyone passing by outside while you were sleeping, but it is not ruled out Who deliberately stepped lightly and sneaked about the possibility of letting him go."

"Could it be He Wei?" The first thing Gu Siyue thought of was He Wei who was similar to Wu Duoduo.

Ning Zishan shook his head: "I don't know, except for the three of us who have been together all the time, everyone in the whole villa is possible, but He Wei's suspicion is even greater. When Wu Duoduo went mad and killed Xiang Hongwen, we didn't When I saw her, I didn't know where she was hiding."

Ke Xu bent down and checked the keyhole: "Except for the traces I left before, this door has not been pried again, and the key is also on me. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that someone else has a backup key, but I think Wu Duoduo never opened it. He didn’t go through the door when he escaped from the room, after all, he just killed someone, and it’s really risky to walk out from the main door.”

"Didn't go through the door?" Gu Siyue said: "Could it be that he ran through the window? This is the second floor, and there is a lawn underneath. There is no danger in jumping out of the window."

This may have been quickly dismissed, however, because after checking the windows of the room, they found that all the latches were plugged in.

Ke Xu walked around the room, and finally his eyes fell on the outer wall: "I always thought there was something strange about this villa. It stands to reason that the villa and the garden are not too big, so it shouldn't be so difficult to find someone if you want to hide." , unless there is some hidden space in this area..."

Gu Siyue immediately interjected: "Secret room! Don't mystery novels often have criminals hiding in the secret room or using the secret room to commit crimes?"

"But where will this secret room be?" Ke Xu asked a question, and then said: "From the first day I entered this villa, I wonder why there is no window on the west wall of this villa, but at that time I I didn't pay much attention to it, because the west side is originally a shady side, and maybe the owner didn't want windows. But when I just had dinner, I suddenly thought that all the windows near the west wall of this villa have a subtle difference when viewed from the outside and from the inside. gap."

Ning Zishan said: "So this secret room must be related to the Western Wall."

"Look for it." Ke Xu said: "There should be a secret door or something on the west wall of this room, so that it will be convenient for someone to rescue Wu Duoduo without anyone noticing."

So the three of them started sticking to the wall like geckos looking for secret doors.

It didn't take long for Gu Siyue to find a hidden small door in the corner of the wall. The edge of the small door is just on the black human-shaped circle, almost blending with the wall, and the location is an inconspicuous corner. If you don't look carefully I really can't see it.

Now it is not only clear how Wu Duoduo escaped from the room, but also the whereabouts of Geng Huihuang's body. With such a secret door, it is very simple and convenient to get anything out of the room quietly.

"But how to open this door?" Gu Siyue scratched her head: "Will there be a mechanism or something?"

Ning Zishan said: "Let's look for it again."

Afterwards, the two began to rummage in the room. Ke Xu knelt down and knocked on the secret door, then stood up and knocked elsewhere, and said after a long while: "Don't look for it, this door includes the door under the wall." The entire wall of the building is made of thick steel plates, so it should not be able to be opened from the room, even with violence, it may not be possible to pry it open."

Gu Siyue said in frustration: "I finally got some clues, are you going to be stuck here again?"

"Since we know that there is a hidden space behind the wall, we just need to find the entrance." Ke Xu said, "Let's go upstairs to find Liu Ruge first, and see if we can get something out of her."

"Master's wife was stimulated, she finally fell asleep, and now she can't see guests." In the corridor on the third floor, Xiaoxin stood at the door and blocked the three of them like a door god: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me."

Ke Xu didn't go around with her, and asked directly: "Where is the secret room of the villa?"

"Secret room? What secret room?" Xiaoxin folded her arms around her chest, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Ke Xu raised his head slightly: "You don't know that there is a secret room in this villa? Well, let's talk about something you know... For example, why are there paintings everywhere in the villa, but not on the third floor? For example... you Why ask if we hear voices in the corridor at night."

Ke Xu squinted his eyes slightly and moved closer to Xiao Xin, looking down at her condescendingly, "Is there some unspeakable secret in this, that's why you removed all the paintings on the third floor?"

Ke Xu has a good-looking face, even if thrown in the crowd, it is the kind of existence that people can't forget at a glance. Unfortunately, good-looking is good-looking, but his temperament is indifferent and alienated. The aura is very strong. He stands there, Even if there is no expression, it will give people a kind of coercion that strangers should not get close to, let alone when he looks at a person with that lofty gaze that seems to be able to see the soul directly through the flesh and blood, even Ning Zishan is right. Can't help but tremble.

Xiaoxin's expression became flustered in an instant, but her mental quality was good, and she quickly calmed down again: "There are no paintings on the third floor because the teacher disappeared suddenly. I was afraid that the teacher's mother would see those paintings and think about others, so I put them away. , As for why I asked that kind of question yesterday, it was because..."

As soon as I said this, the room at the end of the corridor suddenly opened, Meili came out of the room holding her dirty ball, stood in the corridor, slightly lowered her head, stared at Xiaoxin from bottom to top, and turned over a The large whites of her eyes, coupled with her deformed face, made her look ghostly.

Xiaoxin seemed to dislike beauty very much, or she was afraid. She suddenly trembled like an electric shock, then frowned in disgust, and swallowed the rest of her unspoken words. Without even saying hello to Ning Zishan and the others, he quickly retreated to the room and closed the door.

Meili is probably used to it, and she doesn't care about Xiaoxin's attitude towards her. She walked up to the three of them with the ball in her arms, raised her deformed head and looked at Ning Zishan, and suddenly asked, "Do you like my father's paintings?" ?”

Ning Zishan didn't like it, but according to Ke Xu's analysis, he couldn't directly say that he didn't like it, so he compromised and said: "Your father's paintings are... deeply rooted in people's hearts."

This is indeed Ning Zishan's true feelings, just like the first time he saw the painting on the triangular prism at the gate, he had a feeling that his heart was being gripped, as if he was about to be sucked into the painting.

Meili stared at him silently, as if observing whether he was lying or not. After more than ten seconds, she slowly shifted her gaze to Gu Siyue. Gu Siyue nervously said she liked it.

Finally, she looked beautifully at Ke Xu. Ke Xu put his arms around his chest and said indifferently: "I don't like it. His paintings are ugly."

The beautiful and deformed face suddenly became gloomy, and the originally huge eyes stared as if they wanted to fly out of the eye sockets and pounce on Ke Xu, their eyes were as sinister as a scorpion's tail needle.

"Hello!" Ning Zishan gently pulled Ke Xu.

But Ke Xu turned around and went downstairs as if he didn't see the beautiful dissatisfaction.

Ning Zishan went after him, but when she turned around, Meili grabbed the hem of her clothes. Meili looked up at him, all the dissatisfaction just now had faded away, she grinned her hare lips, showing her white teeth, and said in a pleasant voice: "My father also Will definitely like you."

After speaking, he glanced at the roof.

Ning Zishan's mind was full of Ke Xu's words just now, beautiful and strange eyes, and Ke Xu's panic about encountering danger, so he didn't pay attention to Meili's movements. He threw away Meili and chased Ke Xu downstairs.

"Ke Xu!" Ning Zishan ran a few steps and grabbed him at the corner of the stairs, very angry: "Didn't you just say that you can't just say bad things about Qiu Jingshan, how can you tell her daughter that you don't like him in a blink of an eye?" What about the painting! This is too dangerous! What if you are also targeted by the painting at night?!"

He used a little force, Ke Xu was pulled back by him, then stopped and turned to look at him with a smile: "I still have you, if I am in danger, you will definitely find a way to save me mine, right?"

Ning Zishan frowned coldly, as if silently accusing.

Ke Xu, who has always been strong, felt a little guilty after being stared at like this for nearly half a minute. He sighed, stretched out his hand to pinch Ning Zishan's earlobe and rubbed it gently: "Don't use this, I feel like I'm going to die right away." Can you look at me with your eyes? Don't worry, I have my own measure, how can I be willing to die before you marry me. "

Ever since they reunited here, Ke Xu always liked to tease Ning Zishan as his "fiancée" in the previous copy. What about the foot problem?

Ning Zishan frowned and swung his restless paws away, suddenly feeling powerless: "I know I'm a newcomer now, and I'm not yet ready to fight side by side with you, but at least we are teammates now, you are taking risks alone Can you discuss it with me when you're here, could it be..." He paused, his throat tightened for a while, "Am I so untrustworthy?"

He didn't want to make a leg pendant that could only lie down and win. Being able to help would make Ning Zishan happy, just like when he found the cemetery in the last dungeon.

Time passed in silence, and the window suddenly became dark, and large swathes of dark clouds gathered silently like palms quietly opened, covering the sky and the sun.

Ke Xu was facing away from the window, Ning Zishan couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could hear an unclear emotion in his tone, he said: "Don't look at me like that, I don't distrust you , I just..." I'm just used to fighting alone, and I'm not used to relying on others.

In Ke Xu's memory, he has been alone since he came to this weird world, thinking alone and working hard alone.

In these dangerous dungeons, some people approached him boldly, just wanting to survive, everyone's small calculations were clattering, no one really trusted anyone, and no one really cared about anyone.

But Ning Zishan is different, he is the first person who will show worry about himself after knowing his own strength, and he is also the one who let Ke Xu know that being cared about is so warm, like bathing in the morning light, so he is willing to take him with him. live together.

Although Ke Xu was disappointed when he found out that Ning Zishan was actually a man, and was also a little angry that he was deceived, but now he suddenly discovered that no matter what gender Ning Zishan was, his kindness, essence, and soul had nothing to do with him. With the slightest change, he is the existence that can make him feel warm, just like the ray of light that sank in the quagmire of pain a long time ago, a redemption.

It started to rain again in the afternoon, the rain was quite heavy, there was no wind, and the sky was overcast as if it would fall at any time.

The three of them had no way to go outside the villa to check. Gu Siyue suggested that they should take advantage of this time to check the entire villa to see if they could find the entrance to the secret room, but Ke Xu said, "I probably already guessed where the entrance is."

"Really?" Gu Siyue said excitedly: "As expected of a boss! I found it so quickly, where is it? Should we go there now?"

Ke Xu waved his hands pretentiously: "It's not convenient to move during the day, after we figure out the truth of the painting tonight, if we have enough time, we will go to the secret room."

Gu Siyue stuck out her tongue in disappointment: "Then what are we doing now?"

"Just wander around." Ke Xu said, "Maybe you can find some other clues."

So before dinner, the three of them looked at all the accessible rooms in the villa, but they got nothing.

After dinner, Ke Xu proposed to go upstairs to rest early, and Gu Siyue took out the pillow and quilt from the room, and planned to squeeze in Ning Zishan's room for the night.

The rain that had been raining all afternoon did not show any signs of stopping after nightfall. The three of them slept in their clothes, and the room with only one small night light turned on was very quiet.

Gu Siyue remembered the promise made during the day, quietly curled up on the carpet and pretended that she did not exist.

Ke Xu seemed to fall asleep after lying on the bed because he didn't sleep last night.

Ning Zishan didn't dare to sleep, so he waited until twelve o'clock in fear, feeling more and more sleepy. Although he kept meditating in his heart that he couldn't sleep, his consciousness still couldn't help but began to fluctuate between waking and light sleep.

When he was half asleep and half awake, Ning Zishan seemed to hear someone calling him. At first, it was just a small whisper like a whisper, but every time he called, the voice would become a little louder. Through the thick door, the voice seemed like A sharp claw that seduces the soul firmly grasps Ning Zishan's consciousness.

His body was like a marionette. Although Ning Zishan was very resistant in his heart, he sat up from the bed uncontrollably, walked around Gu Siyue who was sleeping on the carpet, and opened the door.

There is a painting outside the door. On the pure black background, a man with a distorted face is looking at Ning Zishan across the canvas. The red dots around him are like the rain of blood last night, one by one densely forming a stream of blood. The salty smell of rust.
