The room was as quiet as it had been heard outside, except for the sound of footsteps that followed in.

The two who had said they didn't want to come in followed together into this blood-stained place.

Wen Jinnian's room was not big, but it was covered with blood, as if someone had used blood to paint the wall.

It's scary to watch.

Ritsuko searched all over the house, but as Qingchen said outside the house, it was empty, only bits and pieces of bloody furniture and books all over the floor.

Wen Jinnian was not in the house.

All the places where the secret passages were hidden, she searched them one by one, and there was nothing.

There is not even a secret passage in this family.

Wen Jinnian seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

"Ling'er and I looked for a nearby place, but we didn't see the son you said. It can be said that there are no humanoid lifeforms other than us on the Snow Ridge. Qingchen approached Ritsuko's side and saw her standing in front of the already messy bookshelf, looking at the only inkstone that was still intact on it.

called her name several times, and finally made her come back to her senses from the inkstone.

"Huh? Master Qingchen? Can't find Mr. Wen anywhere? Could it be a cloud ghost again...... Could it be that these are all done by the cloud ghosts? ”

"According to the current situation, it is very likely that Gongzi Wen was killed by the cloud ghost, and there are no bones left."

"It's cruel...... Cloud Ghost ...... It's so cruel, how can they do it, two of them...... Those were two living people...... "The tears that had been dried once again flowed down the tear stains, flowed into the collar, and disappeared.

"Killing people and eating people are all the feelings of the cloud ghost."

"Could it be that Gongzi Wen didn't meet the cloud ghost, he just ...... He just ran away? ”

"It's impossible, if a normal person has shed so much blood, if he is still alive, he is too weak to get out of this house."

"But this is not Gongzi Wen, but the blood ...... of the cloud ghost"

"Even if the cloud ghost is cut off from his head, he will not bleed."

"Or a beast or something......"

"Ritsuko-girl, the taste of human blood is not the same as animal blood." The sound of falling dust came from behind the door, and his straight posture no longer looked like he had been injured by the cloud ghost not long ago.

"Master? How did you get here? ”

"You haven't been back for a long time, so come and have a look. The blood in this whole room smells of human blood, and it comes from the same person, but I am afraid that this person is already more than lucky. ”

"But Gongzi Wen is not here, and he can't be found anywhere...... How could it be Gongzi Wen......"

"There are not a few cloud ghosts who have devoured people entirely, so it is not impossible that this Wen Gongzi has been completely devoured by cloud ghosts."

"How could it be...... Wen Gongzi is still so young...... How could a cloud ghost do such a thing......"

"My uncle, Qingchen's master, once told me when I was a child that the younger the human being, the more the cloud ghost likes to devour."

Ritsuko couldn't help but reach out and cover her mouth, letting her tears soak her hands.

After taking a few steps back, he bumped into the bookshelf behind him, and regardless of the blood on the ground, he sat down against the bookshelf.

"Ritsuko-sama be careful!"

When I looked up, I saw that the inkstone that had been placed on top of the bookshelf was half exposed, crumbling.

Ritsuko secretly said that it was not good, and when she was about to get up and run away, there was a sharp pain in the back of her head, and only the sound of the inkstone shattering, and it became black in front of her eyes, and her body habitually leaned forward, and she didn't know who she fell into her arms or fell to the ground.

She fell into the darkness.

I want to chase the figure of the green clothes.

"Ritsuko-sama!"

"There's blood in my hair."

"Quick! Fast! Qingchen took it out first. ”
