Chapter 40: Black Feather is gone
Mu Yu leaned on Shi Yan's arms and smiled at her embarrassedly. She was so scared just now that she really didn't notice that there was anyone behind her.
Shi Ember smiled. He looked at Bai Luomei, and just wanted to make a joke, but he was stunned for a moment when he turned his head, and the smile on his face instantly froze. He began to look around constantly, as if looking for someone.
"What are you looking at, Ah Yan?" Mu Yu looked at Shi Yan, whose face became more and more serious, with a confused expression.
Su Baiyan, who had been walking in the middle, looked at his eyes and immediately understood his thoughts in seconds. He also began to look around, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Most of men's minds are the same, especially men who are serious about things, and they can understand the thoughts of their teammates at a glance.
"You two are ...... "Bai Luomei couldn't figure out what the hell these two men were doing. She looked at them speechlessly, and sighed: "Do you know that it's so serious and scary, if only the two of you had half of the black feather, you're right, black feather." โ
For a long time, no one answered.
"Old Black?" Bai Luomei turned around, and when she saw an empty staircase behind her, she was stunned for a long time without saying a word.
Shi Ember stood in place, looked fixedly in one direction, lowered his voice, and whispered as if facing a great enemy:
"Black Feather, gone. โ
Su Baiyan still couldn't believe this fact, and called Black Feather's name a few times around.
The voice continued to echo in the dark and narrow corridor, and the echo turned around several times, but there was still no response from Black Feather himself.
"Okay," Su Baiyan scratched his hair in distress, but only caught a hand of hairspray. As if he was finally willing to face the facts, he lowered his head and said stupidly, "Black Feather is indeed lost. โ
Lost?
This statement is not very convincing, Hei Yu has lived here for so long, and he is not a dead house, how can he be lost in his own staircase?
Shi Yan didn't dwell on this matter, he still looked at Su Baiyan's direction, and his expression was calm and ruthless.
He asked, "What floor is this?"
Su Baiyan turned his head to look at the wall at the staircase, in the middle of this smooth pitch black, there were two floor numbers sprayed with red paint.
"Twelve. Su Baiyan replied.
"Twelve...... No!" Shi Shen suddenly paused, causing all eyes to focus on him.
"We came down from the top floor, and I started counting from the eighteenth floor, and there were only five floors on that floor. It stands to reason that we should be at our destination by now. But now ......" Shi Ember had a cold face, and his voice seemed a little stiff at this time.
The "destination" he said was referring to the thirteenth floor, and they were ......
"It's the twelfth floor. โ
"Twelve?" Bai Luomei didn't seem to think of it as much of a deal, she shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently: "Twelve is twelve, maybe you counted a few floors." โ
She just didn't want to make the atmosphere so weird, but she didn't expect Shi Shen to suddenly turn her head to look at her, and her cold tone didn't decrease in the slightest: "Do you think I would even count such an important number wrong?"
After speaking, he looked at the red paint on the wall again, and the whole person fell into a deep thought.
Everyone knows that Shi Ember is not conceited, what he is saying is indeed the truth. Compared to the other three people present, Shi Yan was a person who paid more attention to details. If he says it's five floors, it must be only five floors.
A gust of wind blew from behind, causing a chill on everyone's backs. Looking at the wall again, the two figures sprayed with red paint look like two ...... Traces of being infiltrated by blood. An unprecedented sense of fear hit his heart, Mu Yu hugged Shi Yan's arm tightly, his eyes were closed and he didn't dare to open them, no matter how much he comforted him, it was useless.
Bai Luomei kept looking back, afraid that as she walked, a hideous-looking demon suddenly appeared behind her, staring at her with its deep sunken eyes.
Seeing that it was useless to comfort Shi Yan, he simply hugged her in his arms, his two strong big hands hugged her tightly, his left hand gently patted her back, and his voice was soft like coaxing a frightened child: "Don't be afraid~Don't be afraid~"
His chest was warm, and Mu Yu relied on him like a little girl. The tip of her nose was the fragrance of clean shower gel, and she buried her head in his arms, leaning on it like this, a sense of security burned in her heart, and she was not so scared.
Mu Yu chuckled lightly and broke away from his embrace. He couldn't move when he held her, which only affected his mobility. It's better to settle things out sooner.
"Let's go upstairs and have a look. โ
Shi Shen took her little hand and walked in front, and he now had a bad premonition. The numbers on the walls of the hallway shouldn't be wrong, and the obsolescence of the red paint doesn't look like it was just sprayed to pretend to be a ghost. If the red paint is not wrong, then the floor they are on now is indeed the twelfth floor. It's just that if Shi Ash's guess is correct, then the number of floors on their upper floor should be ......
Fourteen.
Not surprisingly, when they saw the blood-red "14" sprayed on the upper staircase, everyone was stunned in place, their lips slightly open, and they couldn't speak for a long time.
Shi Ember sneered in his heart, sure enough, the paint numbers were not fake. It was true that they had only walked five floors, but someone had deliberately used an illusion array to hide the thirteenth floor.
This kind of illusion array has no low requirements for one's own cultivation, and few people can do it on their own. But if it was those who lived on the thirteenth floor who did it themselves, it was not impossible to open this illusion array. One could even say that - not at all.
When they just entered the Yin Building the afternoon before yesterday, they had already felt how strong the Yin Soul Qi on the thirteenth floor was, and even the entire building plus the black feather was estimated to be difficult to compete with the Yin Qi on the thirteenth floor. Otherwise, Shi Shen couldn't imagine whose poison had such terrifying power.
Black feathers don't disappear for no reason. Thirteen is not an auspicious number.
There was no thirteenth floor, but the only message left on that note was this one number. They......
"Eh, what about Lomรฉ?"
Mu Yu's voice broke his thoughts. When Shi Shen turned his head to look at her, his eyes were filled with doubt and fear.
Only then did Shi Shen realize again that Bai Luomei and Su Baiyan, who hadn't paid much attention just now-
It's gone.
Will it disappear from view?"
More than this, he wanted to know where the disappeared people would go, whether they were in another space, or another region? Shi Shen even felt that compared to these unreliable places, the three disappeared people should be isolated from them. And the person behind all this should be using the same illusion array.
Mu Yu subconsciously leaned closer to Shi Yan, afraid that in the next second, he would disappear.
"An illusion array that pretends to be a ghost, a broken thing that scares children. Shi Ember sneered disdainfully, his eyes were empty, as if the sky was falling, and he would not be afraid of anything. But she could clearly feel that he was holding her hand a lot harder.
Perhaps, she was also worried that she would get lost.
Then again, it's not a bad thing that the three of them are lost one after another. Shi Ember suddenly laughed at her, and said very unconscionably: "After all, we can have a good time in the world of two." โ
"Poofโ"
Mu Yu sneered. Smiling and smiling, the corners of her eyes slowly moistened. Her hand was clenched by him, and he could clearly feel the sweat oozing from his palm.
He actually knows better than anyone else in his heart that he is not a person with unsound senses, and he is still afraid in his heart. Teammates are inexplicably separated one after another, and everyone who changes them will feel a trace of fear. He couldn't guess how powerful the enemy hiding in the shadows was, and he didn't even know if he could fight it. But he didn't want to retreat with his whole body, he just wanted Mu Yu to live.
It was he who brought Mu Yu down the mountain, so he had to bring her back intact.
The heartless words he said were just to amuse her. In this gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, divert her attention and make her less afraid.
"Eh, daughter-in-law, why are you crying?" Shi Yan couldn't see her crying the most, as soon as she cried, he would be anxious, no matter how serious his expression was, no matter what kind of emotions would turn into anxiety in her tears. She cries softly, but she always tugs at every heartstring of his heart. Let him panic, make him feel distressed.
"Don't cry, don't cry. "When Shi Shen was in a hurry, he didn't know what to do. Don't look at his usual ease in the face of difficulties, once Mu Yu starts crying, he becomes helpless. I had to reach out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and use what I had learned all my life to make her happy.
This time, however, before he could coax her, she stopped sobbing. While he reached out to wipe her tears, she stood on tiptoe and hugged his neck and secretly dropped a kiss on his cheek. After the kiss, he jumped to the side, stood with his hands behind his back, tilted his little head, and looked at him with a grin, his eyes bent into two beautiful crescents.
At this moment, Shi Ember was completely stunned.
I saw that his cheeks slowly warmed up, and a touch of crimson spread from the sides of his face. It wasn't until Mu Yu sweetly called "husband" that he came back to his senses from the dream-like kiss.
"Ahem. He pretended to be serious and cleared his throat and asked softly, "What did you call me just now?"
"Husband. She happily jumped on the spot twice and laughed a few more times.
"I didn't hear you, you call again?"
Ha, shameless.
Mu Yu despised her in her heart, and wanted to take advantage of her like this, so she wouldn't call it. So, the arrogant Mu Da Demon Jun trotted over and pounced on him, shouting extremely loudly:
"Husband, husband, husband, !!"
After saying that, he took another big bite and kissed him the cheek.
Now, the embers are illusory.
