Chapter 120: The Stone Tower (12)

Even though the sun is shining outside, it still feels like late night at the corner staircase on the first floor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liluo sat on the stairs with the old woman, whispering, enjoying this rare peace in this stone building.

It seemed that she had not spoken these words to outsiders for a long time, and the old woman took her hand and babbled about the fact that she had promised her little granddaughter to come to see the snow, so she accompanied her young son, who had gone here to the snowy land. Many of them she didn't remember very well, but the old woman herself didn't notice it, and she still told them with interest.

The deep and dark stone building, the silent and deserted corner of the staircase, the old man's slightly hoarse but warm words, and the sound of water droplets coming from nowhere in the distance.

Tick, tick.

In the dark, the girl's black and white apricot eyes are still so clear and clear, like stars dotted in the night sky, shining with their own unique light.

Under the careful listening, those faint roars and roars seemed to have subsided, and with indifference in her eyes, she tilted her head, looking at the old woman who was still smiling and reminiscing, and had to interrupt her words.

"Grandma, I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave for a while. ”

"You're going to save them?" Liluo only felt his wrist tighten.

"Nope. She smiled and said lightly, "I'm here to save ourselves." ”

The old woman's somewhat cloudy eyes regained a hint of clarity and wisdom, and she sighed heavily, muttering and repeating, "Good girl, good girl." Finally, she glanced at the deep corridor on the first floor on the side, where some candlelight burned in the deepest part of the room.

"You still have that sign, don't you?" asked the old woman in a whisper, as she suddenly leaned over.

"Brand?" Liluo's face was calm, and some people couldn't see their emotions.

"It's the sign in the inn. ”

"Hmm. She whispered.

"You've got to pick it up, this thing...... Someone robbed it!" The old woman's voice was a little hurried, and she was unexpectedly a little nervous, "This thing will break if it is broken, and if it is broken, it will never be able to fight again." ”

"The people who were foraged before either broke it by mistake or got into the stomach of the monster, so no one noticed it before, and then they began to plot against other people's and try to take the brand from other people's hands......"

The old woman said something when she thought of something, but she couldn't hear it vaguely, and it was not early, so she couldn't delay it any longer, so she asked directly, "Grandma, what is the purpose of this brand?"

"The effect? Your lives are all tied to this sign!" said the old woman, in a non-astonishing voice.

Liluo's expression became a little serious, if she was okay, her life would be her own, but it was about Ning Pingyan and Ning Minxiu, so she couldn't care about it.

"What do you mean by that?"

Seeing the girl's solemn face, the old woman couldn't help but glance at the bottomless corridor on the side, and motioned to the girl, "Girl, you have also seen it, is the light there limited?"

"Normally, it's okay, but at this juncture, it must be difficult and dangerous to get over, and I am frightened. Liluo understood what the old woman meant, and now it happened to be the time to forage for food, and those figures wandered around in this stone building, especially when the monsters suddenly withdrew, they were unrestrained for a while, and the situation was much more dangerous.

"However...... "the old woman's expression was sad or joyful, "if there is no sign, the group of people behind the sign, even if they are in darkness, will always be shrouded in light." ”

"Grandma, do you mean ......," Liluo said in disbelief, "If this sign is dropped, then I and my companions will have no shadow and can only move in the light, but as long as they want, we can be attacked by them at any time?"

The old woman thought slowly for a while, "You are not wrong to say that...... she suddenly laughed, like an ordinary old man chatting about homely conversations, and said to Liluo, "Look at it, girl, how ridiculous this is." It was supposed to drag us people into a nightmare, and now it's a shelter?"

"Grandma......" she called softly.

The old woman's emotions retracted little by little, coughed lightly twice, and then patted her shoulder a little heavily, and said, "Anyway, girl, don't let other people in this building want this thing." They are nothing more than calculating each other as bait. Obviously, the number of protections of this brand is also limited, but some of them seem to be insatiable, racking their brains to squeeze from others, so as to exchange for a trace of peace in their hearts. ”

"I see. Liluo nodded, remembering something, "What about Grandma, yours?"

"My?" said the old woman, a little smug, "the old body is well hidden. ”

The strand was intermittent, and the aura lingering in the stone building became thinner and thinner, and the time was really delayed, so he got up, helped the old woman, and looked around, trying to find a safe place for her, but the old woman saw her thoughts at a glance, and waved her hand, "It's okay, you go and do your job, it's good for the old man to stay here alone." ”

Liluo was a little hesitant.

Originally, when she thought of coming up with Aunt Yan, there were no falling stone pillars burning here, and it was an excellent place to hide from those figures. But people's hearts are unpredictable, and what she is worried about now is not the ghosts, but those who calculate human lives.

"Don't worry, if it weren't for the monsters foraging for food, they wouldn't do anything with the old body. The old woman didn't know the meaning of the separation, and comforted, "Just like the girl you just said, they have been too busy to take care of themselves, and when they really come back here in a big circle, I am afraid that they will only have the happiness of escaping again, where can they care about me?"

In the end, there is a faint sense of joke.

Liluo thought about the posture chased by the figures before, and nodded secretly in his heart. Also, in any case, if they want to return to this staircase, they must go around the corridor on the second floor, or come through the corridor on the first floor, which is not a good choice for them to escape carefully.

"Then Grandma, you just wait for me here, okay?" Liluo gently helped the old woman to sit down again, "I'll try to come back as soon as possible." ”

"Oops, okay. The old woman answered with a crisp voice, her eyes crooked, like a smile when she agreed to her granddaughter's request.

Liluo breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and was about to walk towards the deep place, but he was suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes.

"Girl. The old woman's old eyes were shining, "I just wanted to ask you, are you like those immortals in the memories of the old body, that's why you fly?"

Liluo suddenly seemed to see the girl who crossed the sea with her parents.

"yes. "I'm going to tell you a secret, Grandma." ”

"I'm from the same place as you. (To be continued.) )
