Chapter 14: The Ivory Blooms

Gu Xiaoxiao never knew that she could run so fast, obviously the most hated thing when she was alive was physical education class, but she was sure that now was the fastest time she ran from life to death.

"Whew...... ...... "Gu Xiaoxiao gasped quickly, and what was chasing behind him was an army of groups of wooden nesting dolls, and at this moment Xiaoxiao had no choice but to let Xu Xinyang pull himself in front and run with him.

These matryoshka dolls, with exquisite carvings and wonderful paintings, can be found to have the same expressions when you look closely, with big eyes staring straight at the two people running in front of them, and the smiles on their faces are so innocent that they make the people watching a little hairy.

"Xu, Xu Xinyang, I can't run......" Gu Xiaoxiao insisted for a while, and sure enough, the breathing rhythm was disordered, and it was difficult to coordinate with the running steps.

"Hold on a little longer, come on!" Xu Xinyang looked back to check Xiaoxiao's situation, and the strength in his hand increased a little, wanting to help Xiaoxiao share her body as much as possible, so that she could run a little easier.

"Ahh You see! Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Xinyang's front, his face full of surprise and worry.

Xu Xinyang looked in the direction that Xiaoxiao said, and saw that above the stairs that he hadn't yet run, countless knives flew out of a room. The knives were of different shapes, and the ornate decoration turned the cutlery into a work of art, and the silver light on the blades flickered to the small eyes for a moment.

Xu Xinyang obviously felt that Gu Xiaoxiao's palms were full of sweat, because at this moment, the tips of these knives were all facing them directly, and the appearance of being ready to attack was clear at a glance.

They were caught in front and back!

Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinyang had no choice but to stop, and gradually leaned against the wall, looking nervously. On their left is an army of matryoshka dolls, on their right is a group of sharp knives, and in front of them is dangling, and if they step forward and jump down, they will be greeted by hard stone bricks, or if they are lucky, they will fall into the pool, but the pool is a steaming reddish-orange unknown liquid, so perhaps it is more unfortunate.

What to do?

I don't want to die here!

No, I'm dead......

But this sense of fear is inscribed.

Alpha ......

Xiao Xiao didn't know that she had made her dependence on Alpha a habit, and this kind of ordinary feeling, for the dull Xiaoxiao, it was difficult to estimate when she would notice.

Just when Xiao Xiao was thinking wildly, Xu Xinyang stretched out his left arm to block Xiao Xiao's body, Xiao Xiao turned his head to look at Xu Xinyang with a worried face, at this moment he was protecting Xiao Xiao, his eyes were on the nesting doll and the knife left and right, there seemed to be some complicated feelings in his eyes, Xiao Xiao read the decision from it.

He'll protect me!

It's hard not to believe the man standing next to her, she stretches out a hand and grabs the slender arm that protects her in front of her, although it doesn't seem to have many muscles that symbolize strength, but it gives Xiaoxiao a full sense of security.

Xiao shrank behind Xu Xinyang, his whole body was attached to the wall, and his other hand subconsciously touched the wall, as if he was looking for a support for his anxious heart at the moment. Suddenly, I felt a cool metal object, and I groped for it with my hand and found that it was the doorknob.

It turns out that now, behind us is a room......

But what's in this room?

Xiaoxiao was still entangled, only to see that the nesting doll and the knife suddenly attacked her and Xu Xinyang at the same time, not caring about being too melancholy, Xiaoxiao pushed back hard, pulled Xu Xinyang into the room behind him, and then closed the door with all his might.

......There was a strong crash outside the door, but it was only a brief sound, and there was no sound of hitting the door. Xiaoxiao estimated that the nesting doll and the knife didn't have time to reduce their speed, and the two sides collided together, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a surprise!" Xiaoxiao turned around and sighed, looking at Xu Xinyang's gentle eyes at him.

"Xiaoxiao, thank you for saving me." Xu Xinyang stepped forward to hug Xiaoxiao and buried her in his arms, completely ignoring that they were not really out of danger at this moment.

Xiaoxiao felt that his face was hot, "How can I have ......" and was not knowing what to say, when suddenly he heard a neat sound coming.

Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinyang separated their bodies and hugged each other, looking at the tumblers in the room, they were shaking their bodies in unison at the moment, "This ......", suddenly they all turned to the little two who were standing by the door, and continued to sway.

Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinyang were worried that these tumblers would attack them like those nesting dolls just now, so they hurriedly opened the door of the room and retreated. Then close the door tightly, but unfortunately it can't be locked.

The sound disappeared the moment the door closed, and the tumbler inside should have stopped swinging.

Outside the door, there were matryoshka dolls and knives colliding together, some knives were inserted into the matryoshka dolls, and some matryoshka dolls were pressed to the ground with their big bodies, and all the originally exquisite works of art were all broken at the moment, and they all fell to the ground, motionless, and it seemed that they would no longer be threatening.

"What are we going to do now?" Xiaoxiao asked Xu Xinyang.

"Now, we don't have any other way but to find that little girl."

"Hey, then let's continue to check the room, just open the door and take a look, it should be fine if you open the door for a short time!"

"Yes."

The two men continued to walk upward, checking the room while carefully guarding against any changes that might occur around them at any time.

In one of the tower's rooms, a petite figure sat on a stone chair. This stone chair is very large, with a particularly high back, and it is not difficult to see that this stone chair is suitable for larger adults. And the simple and atmospheric carvings on it, those hideous animal patterns, show that its owner should be a powerful man with extraordinary bearing.

At this moment, the little girl who was lazily leaning on the stone chair, her long blonde hair was casually scattered, the grass-colored cotton parquet skirt did not have a trace of dust, and the big skirt covered her entire body, it was the little girl who was playing hide and seek with Gu Xiaoti.

She is holding an old "sheep" doll in one hand and playing with a mirror in the other. This round bronze mirror is not large in size, just in the hand of the little girl, it is a translucent mirror, the back of the mirror is cast with complex patterns and words, when the light hits the mirror, the pattern on the back of the mirror will be reflected on the wall facing the mirror.

The little girl raised her hand, lifted the mirror in her hand, and through the faint light that came from all directions, she stared intoxicated at the projected patterns and words, and muttered, "Soon...... Soon you won't be bored......"

Xiaoxiao and Xu Xinyang opened the door of a room, and there were countless stone statues standing inside. These huge stone busts with human faces are witty. The excessively long head and ears, deep eye sockets, high nose, protruding chin, arms hanging at the sides of the body, hands on the belly, a thoughtful look, shrouded in mystery.

If you look closely, the stone statues have no feet, some of them wear hats, and some of them are carved with symbols that look like people, beasts, fish and birds, which are difficult to read.

Xiao Xiao didn't close the door immediately after checking the room, she actually stepped inside.

Xu Xinyang was surprised by her unusual situation at the moment, and reached out to grab her, but was thrown away by Xiaoxiao.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoxiao ignored Xu Xinyang and continued to walk straight to the room.

Xu Xinyang hurriedly walked in front of Xiaoxiao and blocked Xiaoxiao from moving forward further. He grabbed Tiny's shoulders with both hands, "Tiny? Little! ”

The continuous vigorous shaking failed to bring back the small. He couldn't see his little heart in his small dilated pupils.

"Gu Xiaoxiao! Wake up! Xu Xin shouted loudly, and the worry at the moment was from the heart.

"Don't stop me......" The small voice was very small, but it still made Xu Xinyang hear it clearly.

Xu Xinyang looked at the strange stone statues in the room, and suddenly thought that maybe it was because of these stone statues that caused a small abnormality at this moment, so he wanted to knock down the stone statues.

He walked up to the statues and tried several times to knock them down, but as he approached the moment, he heard a faint voice coming from the statue, as if chanting some ancient language.

Xu Xinyang turned his head to look at Xiaoxiao, and found that Xiaoxiao walked to a corner, stood there motionless, making the same movements as a stone statue, with her arms hanging down on her sides, her hands on her belly, and then her feet gradually began to turn into stones.

Xu Xinyang was taken aback, and hurriedly ran to Xiaoxiao's side, wanting to carry her out of the room, but no matter how hard she tried, her feet seemed to have taken root on the ground, and she couldn't move a single bit.

"It's not a small amount of courage to dare to touch my things!" Xu Xinyang suddenly changed his usual tone of voice, and felt like a different person, which Gu Xiaoxiao naturally didn't see.

An ivory glow filled the room, and for a few seconds, the room became dark again. Xu Xinyang walked out slowly with Gu Xiaoxiao in his arms, only to see that the whole room was empty and there was nothing.
