With the company of fireflies, the little boy in the red kimono finally left Chen Yan's mind temporarily.

Chen Yan doesn't plan to talk to Chen Beibei about this matter for the time being.

She has always been her own business, solving it herself.

Since childhood.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be alive now.

Either way, that room can't be entered again.

I have been in my employer's house for so long, and I have never had any problems.

And employers can do it to themselves.

Keep it up.

If you don't take care of that kid or that room, you should be fine......

Chen Yan still went to work, and the continuous rain stopped a few days later.

The sky is starting to clear.

The man in the hat went to play mahjong as always.

Since that time, the man has never mentioned anything about that room again.

It seems that the child has disappeared with the continuous rainy weather.

It seems, it never existed.

Chen Yan thought that he had really forgotten about that child, and he could really ignore that room.

Chen Yan thought that he could commute to work normally and live the same peaceful life as before.

However, she was wrong.

Some doors, once opened, cannot be pretended not to have been opened.

It's like Pandora's box, once opened, even if it is closed immediately, it is useless.

……

Breaking the calm was a quiet afternoon.

Chen Yan was preparing dinner for his employer, and the vegetables were washed and snow-white and verdant.

Chen Yan picked up the knife and separated the white from the green.

The kitchen knife was very sharp, and one accidentally, a touch of bright red, slipped out of Chen Yan's fingers and landed on the emerald green leaves.

Bleeding......

Chen Yan put the cut finger into his mouth and took it in his mouth.

Sweet blood flowed down her throat and into her stomach.

What a familiar taste......

Fishy, red......

In Chen Yan's mind, a red, crooked rectangle suddenly appeared.

In the middle of the rectangle, a white porcelain bowl is placed.

Three sticks of fragrance, slowly emitting smoke with the smell of sandalwood......

Chen Yan came back to her senses and saw a small flower cat looking at her outside the kitchen window.

"Meow ......"

Curiosity, again......

……

Chen Yan entered that room again, under her careful planning.

A nap in the afternoon, a steaming tea......

As long as his employer drinks it, he can get a good night's sleep.

Because, in the tea, there are sleeping pills that Chen Yan put in.

It is a habit for employers to drink tea after eating at noon every day.

Quite ordinary, naturally, the employer drank that cup of tea.

He would never have thought of such a girl as Chen Yan.

Will you put sleeping pills in your tea, right?

Employer's nap, slept all afternoon......

During this period, Chen Yan got the key to his employer and walked into the house again.

The smell of blood is fishy.

Blood belongs to human beings, and Chen Yan is not afraid.

At this time, she wanted to know why, there was a child in the room.

And, why is there such a strong smell of blood.

Curiosity, that's it.

Newton discovered gravity because of curiosity, and Watt improved the steam engine because of curiosity.

Chen Yan is not as good as them, but Chen Yan knows that he will also find something, and then, change something.

Chen Yan opened the door, and the smell of blood was still there, because Chen Yan was concerned about the smell of blood, at this time, the smell of sandalwood was not so obvious.

The red line under his feet, dark red, crooked......

Chen Yan squatted down, and the smell was emitted by these red threads.

It seems that these red lines have been drawn with blood.

The child who looked very honest, at this time, had not yet appeared.

Maybe it's because Chen is tired of leaving suddenly last time.

"Are you still there?"

Chen Yan closed the door and asked softly.

This child's ability may be very weak, or it is possible that he doesn't want to hurt Chen Yan.

Otherwise, the last time Chen Yan came in, he could have done something to Chen Yan.

No matter what the reason is, Chen Yan knows that he is safe.

"Hmmm......"

The little boy's voice rang out from a corner.

"The last time you looked for me, was there anything wrong?"

Chen Yan asked directly.

In the innermost corner of the room, a little boy slowly appeared.

"Sister, can you take me away......?"

The child looked at Chen Yan and asked her.

The little boy's voice was small and seemed to have some timidity.

"Are you a ghost?"

Chen Yan has seen lantern ghosts, three-tailed foxes, and fireflies.

In this world, there is no surprise that another ghost appears to Chen Yan.

"Hmm."

The little boy nodded, still crouching on the ground.

"Are you a ghost? Can't you leave yourself?"

In Chen Yan's thoughts, ghosts should be able to pass through walls, at least an ordinary room, it is impossible to trap ghosts, right?

"In this room, someone has set an enchantment, and I can't get out."

"Enchantment?"

"Well, look at the red thread around the house, and this porcelain bowl, and the three incense sticks...... These are some of the things necessary to maintain this barrier. ”

The little boy replied.

Chen Yan looked at the red line, the smell of blood, and felt even stronger.

This should be psychological......

"That red line, it's blood, right?"

Chen Yan asked his own questions.

The little boy buried his head in his knees, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Be...... Crying ......?

"What's wrong with you?"

Chen Yan asked the little boy.

"Uh......h The blood ...... It's mine...... Woohoo......"

Chen Yan's heart trembled.

Actually, it would be like this, what kind of person is so ruthless, using the blood of a child to draw such a big frame.

"How am I going to take you out?"

Chen Yan decided to help him, after all, he was indeed very pitiful.

When he was a child, although he didn't have a mother, Chen Jianye didn't like him.

But, anyway, I survived all the time.

"I ...... I don't know ......."

The child stopped crying and wiped away his tears.

Although Chen Yan is acceptable, in this world, there are ghosts and monsters.

However, it was the first time she had heard of something like enchantment in the real world.

As for the method of cracking, I don't know even more.

"Or ...... You and I can go outside and take a look, what if we can get out?"

Chen Yan looked at the little boy and said to him.

"Yes, sister."

The little boy walked over to Chen, who took the boy's hand.

The height of the little boy was only to Chen Yan's thighs, when he held hands.

The little boy stretched out his right hand, the red sleeve of his kimono, and slid it down his hand to the crook of his elbow.

Chen Yan saw that there was a cut mark on his wrist......

The two of them walked slowly towards the door, and when they came to the red line.

The little boy's body emitted a puff of green smoke.

It's like pouring cold water into hot oil.

"Woo...... Sister, I can't get out......"

The little boy hugged his right leg and cried.

Chen Yan saw that the little boy's right leg had obvious burns, and it was the little boy's right leg that touched the red line just now......
