Chapter 402: Into the Depths of the Swamp
"No, I don't want to, I don't want to go back to my life alone, I don't want you and me to speak in such a tone that will never see you again......"
Cloud Shadow probably didn't know that her eyes were watering when she said thisβhow many years had she not cried?
"Alas, I don't want to, I've just found someone I like, I've just rekindled hope for my future......"
Yin Feng's sigh made Yun Ying's tears flow even more fiercely, but she didn't have anything to do.
"Don't, don't cry......"
Yin Feng finally noticed Yun Ying's tears, and he tried to change the topic with some sad words: "Actually, staying here is not without any benefit, I still have a major discovery." β
"What is it?"
Knowing that Yin Feng was deliberately changing the topic, Yun Ying also cooperated and wanted to chat something pleasant.
"I saw that every day A-Niang's housekeeper would come to this portrait and stare deeply for an hour."
"Auntie?! What did she come to do? β
Yun Ying thought about the several meetings she had with A-Niang, and felt more and more that this woman was very weird.
"I don't know, he makes eye contact with Mario every day anyway - I can feel that she can see the essence of this painting, how strange that a woman without any magic or martial arts can do this."
"Look at Mario? And those weird eyes that move?! β
Cloud Shadow felt creepy when he thought about it.
"Hehe, that's just the effect of alchemy, those eyes are fake ......"
Yin Feng suddenly paused halfway through speaking, and Yun Ying couldn't help but receive: "Is it fake?" β
"No, it's not, it's exactly the same as A-Niang's eyes!"
"How is that possible?!"
Yun Ying thought back to A-Niang's eyes, and only felt a chill down her back.
"I see, I understand, the eyes in the portrait are real, and they are the real eyeballs of A-Niang."
"Yin Feng, what do you want to say?"
"A-Niang is also another work of Mario Alchemy. In other words, she and this portrait are guarding the secret of this manor together - all the way north, Xiaoying, you must have gained a lot this time. β
"That's right, it's the Dwarves, who had a relationship with Bolunc Manor more than thirty years ago, but have been cut off since Principal Mario's disappearance."
"That's right, the secret of the portrait is an instruction, and A-Niang exists to prevent someone with bad intentions from discovering that instruction."
"But I found out that she didn't do anything to me, did she?"
As soon as Yunying's question came out, he thought of what Ah Niang had said - Bolunck and Flamin had both seen the portrait, but they didn't seem to have discovered the mystery, so they were a pawn? Help them discover the secret and the chess pieces will be disposed of? It's not that easy. Yun Ying sneered in his heart.
"Xiaoying, what do you think?"
"I thought of the two men who were with me, though I knew that Flanming had a motive for deliberately leaving two men with me. But I was angry at the thought that they were using it to spy on me, and I didn't want to hide it from the people of Borunc Manor. β
"This will be a sinister and cunning human - I didn't say you, for now, Xiaoying, you have to be careful of your own safety, now I can't help you at all......"
Yin Feng's low tone again turned the person who changed the subject into Cloud Shadow: "Uh, I said no-I thought that Principal Mario's alchemy would be so magical. They make things that are just like real people, and they can talk to me. β
"No, A-Niang is a real person, and Mario has actually done what many alchemists dream of - A-Niang is already a thinking instrument on a certain level."
"What?"
Turn a real person into an alchemy vessel? Yunying feels a bit of an acceptance of incompetence, which is not at all the same thing as the robots in 21st century sci-fi films.
"Oh, that's not right. If A-Niang was really created, then the god asked why she didn't tell the secret of the Flanming dwarves herself? β
"It probably has something to do with Mario's mission to her - so that no one can get anything out of her mouth."
ββ¦β¦ Well, I'll admit she's an intelligent robot, so it's no wonder that she spends her days being elusive. β
Yunying pursed her lips, still wondering why A-Niang had quietly appeared behind her more than once.
"Huh. I can explain this, he used a secret passage, and I watched her stand behind you directly through a small door that suddenly appeared on the wall behind you. β
"Holy, a dark passage that doesn't make a sound at all?"
Cloud Shadow thought that he would really need to study it for a while.
"I'm afraid this is the perfect combination of alchemy and dwarven craftsmanship, and I suspect there must be more than one secret passage in this house. The whole house is under the strict supervision of A-Niang. β
There is no doubt that Yin Feng's speculation is highly likely. If Mario can help the dwarves dig tunnels, why wouldn't the dwarves help him build a house?
"Okay, Cloud Shadow, you should get out of here too, if you stay any longer, your soul power will be lost for no reason."
At this end of the Q&A time, Yin Feng felt that he was a little tired, and he needed to rest.
"Okay, I'll come again."
Yun Ying also felt Yin Feng's exhaustion, so she simply and neatly asked Louisville to return her soul power, and Yun Ying, who was standing in front of the portrait, secretly cheered herself up, at least now that she knew Yin Feng's whereabouts, she must not give up!
"Miss Cloud Shadow, it looks like you've found what you're looking for?"
Damn, Yun Ying took a step forward and turned around quickly-why is A-Niang behind her again?!
"You're stalking me again?"
Yun Ying pretended to be stern, but in fact, she was secretly observing A-Niang's reaction...... It's really like, that skin, that action, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a normal person, so she really is an alchemy product?
"Miss Yunying, please don't run around anymore, or I can't guarantee your safety."
Hey, he was threatened by the aunt who didn't have any magic power in the individual, Yun Ying leaned against the wall and said, "Why are you, is it the help of the dwarves or the secret passage in this house?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Well? There was no response, Yun Ying looked at Ah Niang's suddenly empty eyes and seemed to understand something.
"Auntie?"
"Yes."
"Secret Passage?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Dwarves?"
ββ¦β¦β
Sure enough, when Yun Ying said the words "dwarf" and "dark way", A-Niang would stop all actions and words - this is the ban that Mario set for her as Yin Feng said!
"Cut, such a cunning old man, but if someone mentions those two words, wouldn't it be more suspicious?"
Yun Ying shook her head and lost interest in Ah Niang's secret, no matter how elusive she was, she was just a dead thing.
ps: Friday is busy until dark, so make up for it on Saturday, rest on the weekend, and see you next Monday :)
