Raiders, loyal dog

No matter how good the banquet is, there is a moment when the banquet ends. It was night, and the people who had already drunk left the venue one after another. The night that was still noisy at first returned to the tranquility that should have been in the weekdays.

The moon was in the middle of the sky, when the night was at its best, the man who should have fallen asleep on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

Ling Zixiu squinted at the faintly visible moon outside the window, his pair of black eyes were gradually stained with obscure emotions.He slowly sat up from the bed, then casually pulled off the outer shirt that was put aside and draped it over his body.

It has been so many days since he came to Mingyin City, and he already knows almost everything he wants to know.

Ling Zixiu poured himself a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it. He just looked at the unique pattern on the cup with great interest—of course, he thought, the city lord knew almost everything he wanted to know.Then, in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Faintly, a flute sound suddenly came from outside the window. The sound of the bamboo flute is not very loud, but it seems to have some kind of magical power, which can be directly transmitted to the mind like this, which is soul-stirring.

Listening to the sound of the flute, Ling Zixiu's expression was a little unfathomable. He stood there for a long time, and then his expression gradually relaxed.He put the teacup on the table and walked slowly towards the door.

Perhaps it was because the teacup was not placed securely. The cup fell off the table shortly after Ling Zixiu turned his back. The porcelain-white cup had already been shattered into slag, and the dark liquid slowly spread on the ground, gathering together little by little. A slightly odd pattern.However, Ling Zixiu didn't seem to be aware of all this. He never looked back from the beginning to the end, but just walked straight to the door. Then, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, leaving his room step by step.

The weather seemed to have turned cold all of a sudden, and snowflakes began to float in the sky. Small, crystal clear and white, they looked harmless and cute, but when they fell on the body, they seemed to have a cold air that could coagulate blood.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew past, Ling Zixiu tilted his head slightly, but he didn't completely avoid the cold and sharp wind like a blade.

...the blade?

Ling Zixiu wiped his face with his hand, obviously there was nothing there, and he didn't feel any pain, but the sweet smell of blood couldn't be concealed no matter what - that kind of sweet, thick , so that he can immediately enter a state of excitement as soon as he smells it.

Ling Zixiu raised his head and looked around. It was still the same flowers, the same grass, and the same long corridor.

An empty, almost endless corridor.

"... Formation?" Ling Zixiu lowered his eyelashes slowly, stretched out his hand to tear off a piece of material from his coat, and covered his eyes with his hand, but his lips, which were slightly purple due to the cold, were slightly hooked. Get up, "It's really interesting."

The surrounding area was extremely quiet, not even the chirping of birds and insects, so the sound of the bamboo flute, which seemed to be absent at first, seemed even more strange in this dead silence.

Ling Zixiu closed his eyes and let his world return to the original darkness. Then, the right hand that had been hanging by his side slowly pressed the hilt of the sword on the left side of his waist, and pulled it out little by little. The moment he came out, the entire still space seemed to suddenly move——

And the other side...

Perhaps it is because the eyes have lost their function, so the hearing becomes particularly keen.Qiao Zhibai raised his head weakly when he heard the faint sound of footsteps coming from outside.

This is actually a bit strange. During the days of being locked up here, no one will set foot here except to deliver food.However, the last meal had already been delivered just now, so what came this time...

Qiao Zhibai smiled self-deprecatingly when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer: Could it be that his concept of time is so bad?Or did he think that the "just now" has actually passed several hours?

But even though he no longer had any hope in his heart, Qiao Zhibai's heart still beat faster unconsciously when he heard the sound of footsteps approaching.

Forget it, no matter what it is, no matter who it is, come fuck yourself, if you stay alone in this ghost place, he will really go crazy!

The sound of the key turning the keyhole seemed to be amplified dozens of times, and then there was a tooth-piercing "squeak—" sound, bringing a small piece of dazzling light.It should be something like candlelight, but it also made Qiao Zhibai feel that his eyes could not bear it anymore.

He surveyed his face slightly, subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and then heard a very light laughter, and then... nothing more.

He passed out again.

After waking up again, after going through the initial glaring pain, Qiao Zhibai was surprised to find that he was not in the small black room. He blinked and looked at the gorgeously furnished room, almost moved to tears .

An unknown cold incense was lit on the mahogany table, and the aroma soon spread throughout the room.

Breathing this cold fragrance, the sleepiness caused by the medicine in the body was relieved a lot immediately.Qiao Zhibai sat up from the ground, and after calming down, he had time to take a good look at the environment he was in.

Whether it's the furnishings or the colors used in the house, it's obvious that this is actually a woman's boudoir.Qiao Zhibai tried hard to recall that the last chuckle he heard before he fell into a coma obviously belonged to a woman.

And judging from the current situation, if they wanted to deal with him on the spot, it should be impossible to bring him to such a private room again.

So, was he saved?

Qiao Zhibai looked down at his still tightly tied hands, and smiled wryly: But it doesn't look like saving him from this appearance.

If it was really the city lord who caught him, then among the people he knows, there are not many who can take him away from that ghostly place without anyone noticing.What's more, if it's a woman...

"Yo, Mr. Qiao is awake." Suddenly, a slender figure opened the curtain gracefully and walked in. When he lowered his eyes to meet Qiao Zhibai's gaze, he turned his eyes and smiled. Wushuang's face is simply captivating, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Looking at that stunning face, Qiao Zhibai felt a "thump" in his heart, feeling a little headache for no reason.

"...Fei'er?"
