Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao both have traces of resentful spirits on their bodies, Chen Yang has more contact with resentful spirits, so they are more deeply affected by resentment, Lin Mo's pure heart talisman drawn with blood can calm Chen Yang and prevent him from making any strange moves, and Zhao Xiao also took a piece of the same talisman paper in his hand for self-defense. Xu Qingran and Lin Mo had experienced an ancient demon hunting mission before, and they had an understanding of resentful spirits, and being marked by them was equivalent to being entangled, not only would their bodies be affected, but they would also attract more evil creatures because of the breath of resentful spirits.

In this case, with the ability of Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao, it is definitely impossible to protect themselves, if they really attract something, they all have to rely on the help of their teammates, Xu Qingran clearly knows what is hidden in this bell tower - resentful spirits, ethereal spirits, witches, gods, the bell tower is so high, who knows what dangers are on that layer of stairs. They were careful not to make too loud noises, just to avoid conflicts with these things, if they continued to take Chen Yang and Zhao Xiao with them, and ignore Chen Yang, who is now unconscious, it would be too cumbersome after all.

Xu Qingran wanted Zhao Xiao to leave from the bell tower with Chen Yang, which would reduce their burden, but he recalled that he had just left the two of them alone in the secret passage and caused them to encounter the ethereal spirit, and he naturally forgot about the two of them when he was counting the number of people afterwards, and he was still very guilty after all.

When Xu Qingran hesitated, Lin Mo had already drawn a magic circle on the ground outside the bell tower, she pasted yellow rune paper on the five corners of the formation, and walked around, as if checking whether there were any mistakes, and then she beckoned to Zhao Xiao, as if to let him come over.

Seeing this, Zhao Xiao hurriedly got up and prepared to walk over, but as soon as he made a move, he remembered that Chen Yang was still beside him, so he looked at Lin Mo with some embarrassment, and Xu Qingran smiled, "I'll help you." ”

Lin Mo nodded, "You just stay in here and don't move, this is a magic circle that can protect you, don't come out." If anything happens, whether you hear or see anything, you can't go out. ”

"Okay......" So Xu Qingran and Lin Mo were about to return to the bell tower, and after just a few steps, Lin Mo turned around and threw him a handful of rune paper, "Use it for self-defense." ”

Zhao Xiao looked at Lin Mo with complicated eyes, clenched the stack of rune paper in his hand, he nodded, and whispered thank you.

Everyone cautiously walked towards the stairs, Jun Yao and Jiang Xian took the lead, Yin Weiyu walked behind them, Lin Mo walked side by side with Xu Qingran Aiyu, and at the handrail of the stairs, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the bloody handprints.

Xu Qingran looked in the direction of her fingers, first wondering why she wanted to let her see this clue that she had already seen once, but when he unconsciously counted the number of handprints, his face suddenly became stiff. Ai Yu also reacted to Lin Mo's purpose of showing them this clue, so she took out the supernatural camera from her backpack and took a picture of it.

With the photo in her hand, Ai Yu turned her head and looked at Zhao Xiao who was waiting outside the bell tower, she thought for a while, and said softly, "Wait for me here." ”

Before Xu Qingran and Lin Mo could ask her intentions, Ai Yu ran towards Zhao Xiao first, she took out the two photos she had taken from her backpack and stood in front of Zhao Xiao.

"Do me a favor." Ai Yu handed him the photo in his hand, "This is the photo generated by my props, it is of great use to us, I need you to keep it." ”

Zhao Xiao was surprised by Ai Yu's return and return, and looked at the things she handed over in a daze, but he didn't dare to make any moves, he was afraid that the person in front of him was not Ai Yu, but a resentful spirit, a virtual spirit, or something else that was conjured up to deceive himself and put himself to death.

"What are you doing? Take it! Seeing him like this, Ai Yu stepped into the circle with one foot, and forcibly stuffed the photo into Zhao Xiao's jacket pocket, Zhao Xiao looked down at Ai Yu's feet, and remembered what Lin Mo said when he drew the circle.

"As long as you don't go out of the circle, there will be no danger. This magic circle is mixed with my blood, and low-level evil creatures like resentful spirits dare not approach here, let alone step into it. So, if you meet us later, you won't be able to tell if we're real or not, just see if we dare to step into this circle. ”

"Sister Ai, why do you want to keep this thing for me? I'm afraid...... I can't keep it safe. ”

"What do you want to do? You just have to stay here and stay still so that you don't have any accidents and there will be no problems with the photos. Ai Yu said with a straight face, "The reason why I gave it to you is because I am afraid that there will be some special situation in the clock tower later, in case it is reset for some special reasons like yesterday, this afternoon's efforts will be in vain." ”

Zhao Xiao opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, he nodded, put the photo in his bag, and patted the pocket, telling Ai Yu to reassure her with this behavior.

Ai Yu nodded, "Then wait here for us to come back, if Chen Yang wakes up, take care of him more, and don't let him behave out of the ordinary." You know what I mean, right? ”

Zhao Xiao responded to her words, so Ai Yu returned to the bell tower and joined Xu Qingran Lin Mo, she smiled, "At least one more insurance in this way." ”

"Let's go up." Lin Mo didn't ask her what she did, Xu Qingran looked at Lin Mo who was talking, and always felt that she seemed to be a little different from before, but when she saw Lin Mo's familiar words and deeds, she swallowed her doubts back into her stomach.

It should be an illusion, because the existence of the ethereal spirit has become a little suspicious, but in fact, Lin Mo is not abnormal, it is just related to her spiritual nature.

The six people went upstairs, and the lights on the second floor went out at some point, Jiang Xian leaned close to the wall, and quickly found the switch rope she had just discovered, and pulled it gently, but when the light filled the entire space, she gasped. There were many balls on the floor, some of which were stained with blood, and in addition to the balls, there were many flesh-colored cylindrical things that looked like baseball bats scattered on the ground.

Ai Yu stood at the back, her eyes fell on the unknown things on the messy floor, she took a few steps forward to see what it was, and just after a few steps, Xu Qingran beside her grabbed her violently, "Ai Yu, don't go over." ”

"This cylindrical thing can't be human limbs, right?" Yin Weiyu asked in an incredulous tone, Jun Yao glanced at her, then approached the thing, squatted down and picked it up to observe it carefully, as if to confirm Yin Weiyu's guess, she touched the thing and felt its material.

Ban Yan Jun Yao nodded, "Well, you guessed right, it's the limbs of people." ”

Yin Weiyu: ......

Don't say such gruesome things with a blank face!

"The ball contains a human head, and the limbs are used as baseball bats...... Ha, it's weird. Jun Yao got up in disgust and rubbed her hands, no longer caring about the unappetizing things on the ground, she strode in the direction of the stairs.

"A human head in the ball? Have you opened it before? Xu Qingran was surprised by Jun Yao's current compilation, Jiang Xian nodded, "Well, it's not like opening it up, that is, it kicked twice, and then angered him and revealed his original form." ”

"Huh? This ......" Xu Qingran listened to Jiang Xian's too brief explanation, but was more curious about what they met just now, but now the focus is not to be curious about what happened in the past, but what is about to happen.

Elizabeth's room was open, and Jun Yao squatted on the place where the door frame met the floor before going in again, looking carefully, as if to confirm something. She looked back at the staircase where the little boy was standing, frowned, but did not speak.

"Elizabeth holds the power of the gods in her hands, so there are still some traces of where she lives, the ethereal spirit who pretends to be a little boy wants to kill us, but he can't come in and kill us, he throws a leather ball, trying to trick you out. It's just that after discovering his intentions, he failed, so now it's hiding. Jiang Xian smiled and looked at the stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor with a bit of mockery, "What a bad guy." ”

Jun Yao didn't answer her words, she walked to the desk, picked up Elizabeth's farewell letter on the ground again, read it carefully, and then she handed the letter to Xu Qingran, who came over, and reached out to rummage on the neat desk, the desk quickly became messy, but no one cared about this, after all, it was useless to maintain it so well and look beautiful, and it was the most important thing to find clues.

Jun Yao rummaged for a moment, she stood up upright, and looked at the black envelope pressed at the bottom by a lot of papers, and on the golden fire paint seal was a vicious snake spitting letters, "There is also a letter." ”

"Arthur himself

By the time you read this letter, you should understand what I'm going to say next. I apologize for not fulfilling my promise, and I apologize for the concealment and deception that I had made up my mind to do in the first place. When I decided to return to Eternal Sleep, I was ready for this, and I knew that there was no return date for this trip, but ...... Even if I had expected such an outcome a long time ago, I still had a little bit of luck, in case my life did not end at the Yongxing Grand Theater, in case I could end this fate...... With the desire to be reunited with you, to be with you again, to be with you, I forced myself to accept the punishment I deserved.

It's just that I still didn't win after all.

I have been hesitant, I have been feeling guilty and painful, I am extremely ashamed of my cowardice, I thought that my belated bravery could save the situation, but I did not know that what I wanted to repair had already been shattered in the long years.

I call myself a savior, but I have never heard their inner voice. Whether it was the day my nightmare began, or the day my life ended.

My dear Arthur, please forget all that I have said to you, the nightmare that haunts me has not been resolved, it will go on forever, but I don't want anything to happen to you. Please don't think about my past again, just bury her in the bottom of your heart, and never mention it again.

Please go away and fly high to a peaceful and beautiful place, and start a new life.

Please forget about me.

Elizabeth"

The six men stared at the letter in a daze, and after a long time passed, someone finally broke the silence.

"These two letters from Elizabeth are really inexplicable...... It feels like she has explained a lot, but she hasn't explained anything clearly, which is really a headache. Ai Yu complained speechlessly, Jun Yao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "These two letters were sent by Elizabeth to Arthur. ”

"yes."

"It's strange that this letter was sent, right? Did Arthur receive it? Jun Yao said to herself, "The sender of this letter is Elizabeth, and the recipient is Arthur, according to logic, the letter should have been left on the recipient's side." The first letter must have been sent, after all, it was found in the middle of the book, and it was only a piece of paper, which must have been opened and read. And this second letter, however, appears intact, and the letter is in the envelope, and the fine fire paint seal on it has not been destroyed......"

"But there is a circle here, a mark of two pieces of paper that have been glued together and torn." Jun Yao's fingers rubbed against the black envelope, and she felt that the paper in a certain circle was obviously a little thinner than the surrounding area, she took a closer look, and found that it was a shallow and imperceptible "V" shape, "This letter was re-glued after being opened, so the second letter was also seen." ”

"Do you think there's something wrong?" Lin Mo asked.

"Of course, don't you think it's strange? Why did these two letters, which had been dissected and read, appear in Elizabeth's room? Shouldn't it be in Arthur's hands? Elizabeth's second letter looks more like a suicide note, right? From some of the clues we have so far, we can assume that she is dead, and it is impossible for a dead person to get back the letter that was sent. ”

"These letters would reappear here, and if it weren't for Elizabeth, then there would be only one possibility - it was taken back by Arthur. The recipient came to her room and put the letter back. ”
