With unprecedented heavy footsteps, Cheng Li returned to the hall.

Seeing his expression, none of the people present felt ridiculous. There is only sadness, only fear.

Cheng Li sat back in his place, and for a while, he was at a loss and couldn't speak at all.

Ning Buqun, the head of Huashan, let out a long sigh and said, "Cheng Xiaoyou, now you know." Why don't we leave? Because there's no way to leave. ”

Yu Wenhe, the head of the Emei faction, also smiled bitterly: "Cheng Xiaoyou, actually, you are very lucky. Those of us who have been waiting in this mountain village for twenty years, and we don't know when it will end. That taste of torment...... Alas~ you may never understand. ”

Cheng Li didn't want to speak, but suddenly, he felt a warmth in his palms. Looking back, I saw that Xue Yanxia was taking the initiative to shake her hand with her softness.

The warmth quickly spread from the palm of the hand to the heart. Cheng Li perked up, and then in turn he held the soft wattle of Xue Yanxia and nodded lightly to her.

In any case, in this prison far away from the world, lonely in the void, he is the only reliance on Xue Yanxia. As a husband, I must not let her be harmed in any way. Even if you risk your life, you have to protect her.

Reinvigorated, Cheng Li's gaze regained sharpness. He said in a deep voice, "There are so many people living in this villa. Every day, a lot of materials are needed for food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Where did all this come from?"

Lonely Hou sighed: "Of course it was given by the lord of the villa." ”

Cheng Li was stunned and said, "The lord of the villa, isn't that you, Master Hou?"

Lonely Hou shook his head with a wry smile, and laughed at himself: "What am I? I am just a fun doll in the mind of the lord of the mountain villa." ”

Cheng Li was stunned again, and subconsciously, he seemed to feel that the word "doll" had some extremely important role and was very important. But if you want to continue to think about it, it is vague and you don't know the point.

Bashan Gu Daoren nodded slowly, and said gloomily: "Yes, doll...... In fact, everything in heaven and earth is a puppet, and man is not a puppet? It's just that man is a puppet of heaven, and we have all become the dolls of the lord of the mountain village.

The Seven Stars of the Sea God Ink sighed: "Twenty years." It's really hard to be someone else's doll like this. When I first arrived, I thought it would be unbearable for a day. If someone had told me at that time that I would have endured twenty years, I would have preferred to die. ”

The Five Flower Arrow God smiled sadly, and slowly continued: "But now, twenty years have passed unconsciously. It is difficult to die through the ages, and no matter how you live, it is better than dying. I know this sentence is only now understood. ”

Cheng Li groaned, "What kind of person is the lord of the villa, and have any of you seen him?"

Jiang Dang, the chief executioner of the Criminal Department, gritted his teeth and said: "Where can he be regarded as a person! He is simply a devil! More terrible than a ghost!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance out the window, and the muscles on his face suddenly changed indescribably, and his whole face seemed to have been distorted.

Lonely Hou sighed: "In the final analysis, the matter is still on the glass treasure." The lord of the villa is the true owner of the glazed treasure. According to his own words. Because he was too bored, he put the news of the existence of the glass treasure on the rivers and lakes, so that everyone in the world would know. At the same time, he released eight more glass keys. Only when all the keys are gathered can the glazed treasure have a chance to appear. Only those who have obtained the treasure can return to the world. ”

Over the years, eight keys have been obtained by different people. The man who got the key arrived at the lodge full of hope, only to find that it was a prison where only you were allowed to enter and not to leave. But at this point, everyone has no choice but to stay here and wait. ”

Ning Buqun, the head of Huashan, smiled bitterly: "We stayed in this villa, for the lord of the villa, it was like a group of goldfish raised by him in a fish tank. He would feed us regularly, clean the fish tank, and change the water in the bathtub. Take good care of us.

But on the other hand, our every move cannot be concealed from the lord of the villa. He heard everything we said. He can see everything we do. There is no privacy at all. can only be at his mercy. And the lord of the lodge took this to make amusement. Cheng Xiaoyou, you say, is there anything more terrible in the world?"

Cheng Li sighed: "What a person does, if it is watched by people all the time, it is indeed terrible. ”

The sea god Mo Qixing "snapped~" and slapped the chopsticks on the table. shouted: "But now I am no longer afraid of him! Hmph, it has fallen to such a point, what is Lao Tzu afraid of?"

The five-flowered arrow god sighed: "I was looked at all the time, and at the beginning, I naturally felt very uneasy and embarrassed. But as time goes by, people become numb and feel indifferent to everything. ”

Bashan Gu Daoren also shook his head and said, "Yes." This kind of day is the most draining. No matter how heroic and heroic he is, after a long time, he will become insensitive and self-defeating. Because there is no point in living, and it doesn't matter if you die. ”

Jiang Xuan, the chief executioner of the Criminal Department, broke the strings and said in a condensed voice: "In fact, there were no less than twenty people before, and because they couldn't survive this endless wait, they committed suicide and died. Alas~ It doesn't matter if they die by themselves, but as soon as they die, the key that originally belonged to them will be put on the rivers and lakes again, and they will continue to find a new master. Cheng Xiaoyou, you don't know, every time we see the key that has appeared and disappear, that kind of mood is simply worthy of the name, and the heart is like a knife. ”

Cheng Li didn't know how to respond. All he knew was that he needed a glass of wine and a big glass now.

In fact, he drank three glasses in a row. That's what calms me back. "But now, we don't have to wait any longer. Eight keys have been gathered, aren't they? So what should we do next to get the Glass Treasure?"

At this point, everyone was at a loss, and no one could answer. Immediately, they all set their eyes on the lonely Hou.

Lonely Hou said in a condensed voice: "When you were a child, did you play cricket fighting at home? In fact, now we are not only the dolls of the lord of the villa, but also goldfish, and even more crickets. He wants us to kill each other until the last person is left, and all eight keys belong to this person, and then we can get the Glass Treasure. ”

This answer was not beyond Cheng Li's expectations. He nodded calmly and asked in a condensed voice, "So, when will you start fighting, and how will you fight?"

Lonely Hou shook his head and said, "This, we don't know." Let's take the analogy of fighting crickets. Owners love to pick up crickets and throw them in the bucket pan at any time. As crickets, we can only passively wait. And what choice is there?"
