Well of Mystery

"sit down!"

The ferocious beast bent its hind legs and sat down on the floor.

"Hand out."

The ferocious beast retracted its sharp claws, and put its soft right front palm into Bai Xiuqi's palm.

"Change hands..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Jiang Chenglu couldn't help interrupting this weird animal taming program, rubbing his temples and looking at Bai Xiuqi: "What the hell are you doing!"

"I don't know either..." Bai Xiuqi asked him back: "Where did this guy get dug out from the grave?"

Jiang Chenglu, who was getting angry, said that he refused to answer: "It doesn't matter where it came from. The important thing is how can you just open the things I brought back?"

"I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have done that." Bai Xiuqi bowed his head to admit his mistake, but then abruptly suggested: "But it seems to listen to me very much, why don't you give it to me?"

"Are you kidding?!" Jiang Chenglu stared, "Don't say it hurt a researcher of a committee... You saw it just now, it's going to bite me to death!"

"There must be a reason for that. Maybe it's programmed to attack anyone who breaks the seal. Anyway, it certainly won't do anything to you now."

As he said that, as if to prove this point, Bai Xiuqi patted the beast on the head to signal it to look back at Jiang Chenglu——

A second later, angry howls hovered over Xuanjing's apartment again.

"do not move!"

Bai Xiuqi clung to the beast that was about to rush towards Jiang Chenglu again.After a loud shout, the monster's body emitted another burst of dazzling light, and then its huge figure disappeared, turning into a motionless tomb-suppressing pottery beast.

Jiang Chenglu felt that a blood vessel in his temple was about to explode.

"Give it to me and I'll smash it now!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

"It's you, don't be unreasonable! In case you are not at home one day. This guy will go crazy and the whole apartment will be demolished! Who will bear the responsibility?!"

If you think about it carefully, there is indeed such a possibility.

Bai Xiuqi was silent for a while, and then had another idea.He got up and walked to the wall, opened his pot and threw the tomb-suppressing beast into it.

"Okay. It is under my supervision 24 hours a day, which is safer than being locked in the basement. The committee should also want to find out its secrets, right? I can do it for you."

"But I don't need you to do it for me!"

Jiang Chenglu interrupted him impatiently: "Xiaobai, you've been more active than me in handling cases recently, so you shouldn't cause trouble. Wouldn't it be nice to just live in peace like this?"

"It's different from causing trouble and taking the initiative to come to you." Bai Xiuqi looked directly into Jiang Chenglu's eyes: "It's you. When did you become timid?"

"I'm not for-"

Jiang Chenglu's words got stuck in his throat after only half of his words. He angrily kicked away the broken glass at his feet, and left the dilapidated tool room without looking back.

this time.Jiang Chenglu seemed to be really angry.

After all, he is the one who really cares in his heart. Seeing Jiang Chenglu lose his temper, it is absolutely impossible for Bai Xiuqi to say that he doesn't care at all.

But if you care about it, you care about it, but your face is still hanging there.Bai Xiuqi recalled Jiang Chenglu's various unreliable behaviors during this time.The desire to take the initiative to reconcile also faded away.

The two of them returned home without saying anything.Bai Xiuqi didn't find out until then.My own living room was also affected by the farce just now - three pieces of the bright window were broken, and all the scum fell on the sofa.Even the glass vase on the coffee table was not spared. The camellia picked yesterday fell on the carpet along with the water.

What a mess.

Bai Xiuqi was not in the mood to clean up for the time being, and walked around the hardest hit area.

Jiang Chenglu was standing by the bed in the bedroom.He picked up the pillow and tucked it under his arm, then turned around and went to the cupboard to get the spare quilt.After taking it, he turned around and walked out, almost treating Bai Xiuqi like air.

"Where are you going?" Bai Xiuqi asked, "The sofa is covered with glass."

"Go back to my own room." Jiang Chenglu replied in a low voice.

Bai Xiuqi straightened her back slightly.Maintaining a slightly stiff posture, he just watched Jiang Chenglu open the door and walk out.

In the room late at night.The temperature drops little by little.Bai Xiuqi draped a blanket over her shoulders and sat down at the computer desk again.

He turned on the computer and entered the search website, and entered "grave-slayer beast" to start searching.

All kinds of pictures quickly popped up. Bai Xiuqi put on his glasses and looked carefully, flipping through more than ten pages in one breath. From museum collections to folk fakes, there were some similar ones, but he never saw the exact same ones.

It's no wonder... this tomb-slayer was also found on the ghost ship, so it must have something special in itself.Even if there are others of the same kind, they are probably under strict surveillance, and even images are unlikely to be leaked on the Internet.

It seems that I should call Tao Chuan tomorrow and ask someone from the committee directly.

But before going to the committee, shouldn't he talk to Jiang Chenglu first?

"..."

With a warm mug filled with black tea in his hands, Bai Xiuqi turned his head to look to the right.

In the "storage room" just separated by a wall, Jiang Chenglu should have been lying down in the ruins.But it's so cold tonight, how can anyone sleep next door...

Bai Xiuqi sighed, took off his glasses and slowly rubbed the Jingming acupoint.

This evening, after thinking about it, I really did something wrong, and I shouldn't have tampered with Jiang Chenglu's things casually.If Jiang Chenglu opened up his things casually and kept them privately under excuses, he would probably be very unhappy.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuqi had already stood up and walked out of the house.

He went to the door of the next room and knocked.

No one answered.

The door was only ajar, he gently pushed it open and walked in.

With the faint moonlight, he saw that the broken glass on the ground had been cleaned up to a corner.Jiang Chenglu wrapped himself in a quilt and slept on the same bed he had slept on before.

There is no heating in this room, and the air is at least ten degrees lower than the one next door.Jiang Chenglu's body wrapped in a quilt was bent, and he looked like a giant prawn.

This reminded Bai Xiuqi of the time when he first met Jiang Chenglu - unkempt, muddle-headed, with a decadent aura of repelling others thousands of miles away from his bones.

Without his own words, this man would not die though.But sooner or later, she will disappear from this world——Bai Xiuqi suddenly had such a strange thought.

He walked to Jiang Chenglu's side and squatted down gently.

Jiang Chenglu's eyes were tightly closed, and his eyelashes were slightly raised due to too much force, revealing the fact that he was pretending to sleep.

Bai Xiuqi thought about it, but didn't expose the matter.He stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for Jiang Chenglu, then fetched a small electric heater and put it beside the quilt, then turned and left again.

The clock ticked to two o'clock in the morning.The long-overdue drowsiness finally came bit by bit.After washing, Bai Xiuqi lay down on the bed.The long-lost cold caught him off guard.

Speaking of it, I really didn't pay attention to it before. Jiang Chenglu is often the first person to climb into bed after winter.

There were several chills in a row.The feeling of icy cold still hasn't changed much.Bai Xiuqi closed her eyes, and decided to take shelter in Hutian, where the seasons are like spring.

Although it was a little deceiving, but he quickly entered the wilderness full of flowers.The first thing he saw was the tomb-suppressing beast thrown in by him.

Really...it's all because of this guy...

Recalling Jiang Chenglu's lonely figure like a prawn, Bai Xiuqi at this moment is not in the mood to continue studying this monster.

He just wanted to lie down and rest anywhere.But I don't know what's going on.Before taking two steps, the tomb-suppressing pottery beast behind him suddenly woke up.Tongue lolling threw him to the ground!

Bai Xiuqi was taken aback, and just as he recovered to prepare to resist, he suddenly felt his knees go limp——

The grass under his feet suddenly became extremely soft, and then turned into a pool of deep green water.Swallowed him in!

"—!!"

Before Bai Xiuqi could feel the suffocation, his body stopped falling, and then he was spun around for a while, and he was forced to stand up by a force.It became pitch black in front of his eyes.

This is no longer the world of Hutian!

He found himself standing in a wide open field with gray and black mountains in the distance.There are several simple Chinese-style buildings standing vaguely.

It looks familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it.

The time here seems to be night, and the sky is pouring with rain.Amidst the rumbling thunder, purple lightning flashed down from the clouds one after another, illuminating the surrounding water.

His whole body was already drenched, Bai Xiuqi stretched out his hand to brush away the bangs covering his forehead, and glanced at his arm from the corner of his eye, he was really surprised.

He found himself wearing an ancient robe—more precisely, a black robe.

Could it be that...he returned to the time and space that he had dreamed about before?

Bai Xiuqi was stunned for a few seconds before being brought back to his senses by a dull thunder.He went to the edge of the pond and knelt on his knees, bending over to look at his own reflection in the water.

what happened? !

The bright white lightning turned the pond into a silver mirror. In the mirror, Bai Xiuqi was dressed in a black robe with loose black hair, but his face and hands were strangely bluish-white—that was definitely not the skin color of a normal person, but more Like a dead man.

Bai Xiuqi looked at his own reflection in astonishment, over and over again... I don't know how many times the lightning flashed, he finally found a big hole in his chest, so deep that he could see his ribs, and his heart was already gone And fly.

By the way... At that time, I was given by that monster who looked like Jiang Chenglu...

As if feeling the pain only now, Bai Xiuqi clutched her chest and curled up a little bit.

Although he warned himself over and over again that the person who dug out his heart could not be the real Jiang Chenglu, sadness still surged like a tide, almost drowning him.

At this moment, a series of heavy footsteps appeared in the rainstorm.
