When Shanhai opened his eyes, it was still pitch black.

He felt that his head was still heavy, and it must not be light, so it should still be night. It was too cold this night, not like the temperature that should be on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival. So Shanhai got up and wanted to go to the cupboard to see if there was a quilt.

"Are you cold?" He asked casually.

And no one answered him.

He expected Shi Wuqi to be unconscious, but soon realized that something was wrong—so quiet, so quiet that he couldn't even hear a person's breath. It was as if he was the only living creature except himself. The mountains and seas immediately ignited a flame at their fingertips. Where the fire spread, there was nothing, not even the mattress on which he slept.

This is...... Why?

After a short period of stunned, Shanhai quickly calmed down and analyzed the current situation. He walked a few steps, and when he came to what he thought was far more than the room should be, he was sure that he must have been blinded by a ghost.

There are many forms of ghost blinding, and some of them make people see all kinds of hallucinations, such as their favorite things and the people they miss the most. This kind of trick is often used by ghosts or monsters, and it can be used to intimidate and trick people at best, and at worst to put people to death. And the simplest is the situation he encounters at the moment - he can't see anything, as if he is in another space. It is not about tempting people, but about gradually destroying the human spirit in darkness and silence.

The way to crack it is not nothing, or even very simple, but the mountains and seas are deeply immersed in it, and there is no way to prepare materials to ward off evil spirits. In fact, he was still a little surprised, because he thought that it would be difficult for such a thing to happen to him with such a fate. Since it happened, it is destined that the mastermind behind the scenes is not easy to mess with. In general, it's best not to move around – even if you're running around, you're just standing still in the eyes of others.

But he's not the type to sit still, or rather, he knows he's on his own right now.

He sat back cross-legged on the ground and began to wonder what connection this ghost blindfolded with the monster that Shi Wuqi had encountered and was suspected of being a drowning girl. Could she have done this? If so, things are simpler.

Shi Wuqi actually woke up half an hour earlier than he woke up.

Like the mountains and seas, he was also woken up by freezing. But when he opened his eyes, he felt that the store was unusual. Driven by curiosity, he left the house and wandered around the store. He could feel that Miss Qi was in the next room and didn't move, and as for the other two, he didn't pay attention, his attention was completely attracted by the current situation. The atmosphere of the whole store is so strange - it's like a trap for a dark owl to trap them all here.

Shi Wuqi's eyesight at night is good, and he can see things roughly without lighting the lamp. When he was in the underground river of Xuanzheng Town, he relied on such eyes to step on the gravel in the turbulent water. So he saw that the entire decoration of the store seemed to have been abandoned for many years. It was littered with dust and cobwebs, and the walls were peeling off a lot, revealing mossy masonry. There are many holes in the wooden doors and windows, and the cold wind runs through them.

Is this what this store is all about?

No, maybe not.

Shi Wuqi could judge that all this dilapidated and depressed scene was an illusion. Although he didn't have a way to solve the illusion, he knew very well that what he saw during the day was the real situation of the inn. As for why he was so sure, he couldn't say, maybe it was an innate instinct, just as he could tell at a glance that Tartar or someone else was a youkai.

It's not quiet in the house - many ghosts and goblins are here to party, and they are real.

As he passed by the wine cellar, he heard a meeting of imps inside, noisy and noisy. He didn't bother, but kept walking. The mural featured a beautiful woman waving at him, and he simply smiled politely in response, turned and left. On the beams of the house, behind the door, and by the fireside, there are real ghosts and ghosts gathering together. They have no hostility towards Shi Wuqi, and even many little demons greet him.

"Do you know any women here who are half cut off from bones?"

Shi Wuqi asked a spontaneously combusting candle on the wall.

The lantern ghost who lodged in it stretched out the long hand of a shadow and spread across the wall. Shi Wuqi followed the direction of this finger and came to the third room separated by two doors.

Pull open the door and there is a boxy, indoor hot spring pool. These rooms are reserved for guests.

The pool was filled with water, and the floor of the entire room was covered with water marks. Not only the floor, but also the doors, windows, walls, and even the ceiling have a damp mark that is difficult to remove.

In the center of the pool ripples, and from it emerges a beautiful woman. When she looked up from the pool, she didn't make a bigger splash. She had a delicate face and was very beautiful, judging from the outline alone, Shi Wuqi did know that it was the woman he had met today.

It's really a drowning daughter.

Seeing the comer, she quickly sank half of her body, revealing only a pair of resentful eyes, looking at him silently.

"Can you help me." She said.

Her mouth didn't leave the water, but there were no bubbles, and the sound was clear to Shi Wuyi's ears.

"Why are you sure?"

"Because you are the Lord of a Hundred Bones."

“…… Be. I'm not going to be hard for you," Shi Wuqi responded, "I want to know what kind of spell this house is under, and how to break it?" Also, where did you and the other demons and monsters come from? ”

He asked a series of questions, but the drowning daughter did not answer. She still looked at him quietly for a long time. It took a long time for her to slowly get up from the water.

What is presented below the waist is really Bai Sensen's pelvic bones and leg bones.

"We're trapped here," she said blandly, "and no one can unravel the spell." ”

"Did the shopkeeper do it? Why is he like this? ”

"He did it—and he didn't do it. But for us to get out of here, we need the child's consent. ”

"Kid?"

"Kid."

"You are ......"

"I died here, many years ago, in an accident," she was naked, her long hair covering part of her skin, "but nothing...... There are a lot of people who die here, for all kinds of reasons, vendettas, love killings, suicides, manslaughter...... There is a lot of yin here, and it often attracts a lot of things—things that people are afraid of. ”

"There are few rumors of ghosts and ghosts in the so-called Canglu City, is it because they are all gathered here?"

"Not really. There are always a lot of people in this city, and they hold us down. On weekdays, there are a lot of guests at the hotel, and we can't get out. ”

Shi Wuqi seemed to understand something.

"Ah...... The accident in the Takifu caused fewer people to come, so did you come out to make trouble? ”

The drowning girl shook her head, her hair making a slight splash.

"As I said, we're stuck here, and we can't be reincarnated. Because that kid was also trapped. ”

Child, child, child.

Shi Wuqi pondered for a while. In an instant, he suddenly understood something.

"I see, thank you - I'll help you."

With that, he turned and walked out the door. Before leaving, many little monsters hidden in the darkness poked their heads out and looked at his departing back. They were expecting something. Even the Lord of the Hundred Bones doesn't know where this trust comes from. Perhaps, it has something to do with the existence of Miss Qi. She made them feel that he could be trusted.

Strange to say, when Shi Wuqi grabbed Shanhai's wrist, the ghost blindfold was cracked in an instant.

It was too easy—not even any spells or rituals, just him touching himself. Shanhai came back to his senses, looked at him, and stopped talking. Shi Wuqi didn't give him a chance to speak, but just asked him:

"Are you awake? Have you seen them? When I brought them back, I didn't see them in the room. ”

“…… Don't you feel them? ”

Shi Wuqi shook his head.

"There's too much yin here, I'm not sure."

"We've got to find them. I think they are still safe, Ah Luan has a peace lock and a peach wood sword, and Mu Wan has a sachet leaf to hide......"

"It must be fine. But mountains and seas, do you know where in the hotel, where is the inaccessible? ”

Shanhai felt that this problem was a little inexplicable.

"A place like an inn, I want to ...... Maybe firewood? Barn? ”

"A place where no one will go."

"The attic? Generally, this place is not convenient to take things. Wait, aren't you suspicious...... Where did you just go? ”

"Let's go upstairs."

Shanhai could almost guess what kind of assumption Shi Wuqi had made. He didn't know where Shi Wuqi had gone when he had met the demon blindfold, and if he had been in the room, he would have noticed his abnormality, but no. So he must have gone out to check on something, and the two girls were nowhere to be seen, so it must have something to do with it. If they get into trouble, the initiator must trap someone who can crack it – like him. As long as you cover his eyes and restrict his movements, you can do whatever you want.

Therefore, the power of this initiator must be limited. Otherwise, where can I stop him?

But that doesn't make sense...... Why didn't you stop Shi Wuwu?

Can't, or don't want to?

The inn is large, but it has only three floors. After Shi Wuqi and him came up, they looked up at the template under the ridge. It was quiet now, but he was sure there must be something hidden in it.

"Is the Eight Desolation Mirror in the baggage, or is it on you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Shanhai took out the mirror from the placket of his clothes. He grasped the mirror in his hand, reflecting the very hazy moonlight outside the window. A small speck of light floats up and down the wooden ceiling. Not long after, the spot suddenly disappeared in a certain area.

Without waiting for Shanhai to say anything, Shi Wuqi opened the plank and jumped up to the attic. In this way, there is no need for Shanhai to honestly find a ladder.

When he went up, he fell into the same silence as Shi Wuqi.

The two little girls faced each other, lit a row of candles, and turned over the thread with their hands. When I saw the two of them, one of them said hello. And the one who greeted was the missing Ah Luan.

Who is the other little girl in red?
