Chapter 30: The Birdcage Necklace

Qiu Xuan sat on the bed and froze for a while, then stepped out of bed and tentatively pushed the door - sure enough, it didn't open it.

Gu Qingyue: "Qiu Xuan, are you awake!" Don't worry, because you're the one who is protected by the villa tonight, so you can't open the door. ”

She stood behind the door and took a slow, deep breath.

Outside the door, Gu Qingyue continued to speak: "What's wrong?" Qiu Xuan, Qiu Xuan! You okay? Why don't you speak? ”

"I'm fine." Qiu Xuan said slowly, "So I should jump out of the window now, right?" ”

Lu Xingzhou: "Yes, yes, yes! Hey, we thought we'd go together! Qin Jiuyuan will pick you up from the floor-to-ceiling window on the first floor, remember to wrap it tightly. ”

Time was reset, or rather, she was back to the point in time when she first woke up. She thought as she wrapped herself in a heavy coat.

"I'm jumping!" She yelled out the door like she had done last time.

Lu Xingzhou also replied: "Okay! I told Qin Jiuyuan! Jump! ”

So Qiu Xuan moved down like last time, and was dragged into the hall by Qin Jiuyuan's ankles like last time, and was teased like last time, "What kind of costume is this?" Blessed Captain Dragonfly? ”

She kept her face calm and didn't speak. Qin Jiuyuan raised his eyebrows and squatted down to level with her: "Hey, little girl, why are you unhappy again?" ”

Next to him, Gu Qingyue was still explaining that they came to find Qiu Xuan because of the clues of the "bird cage", but they didn't expect that the person who was forced to sleep would wake up and so on.

Qiu Xuan handed the necklace to Gu Qingyue and said, "I don't know how to use this, you can take it and study it yourself." Now I have something to do, don't come along. ”

"But ......"

She turned and hid in the shadows around the corner, waiting for Zheng Yunyuan to let out a scream, and then several dream tapirs spun down.

Taking advantage of the fact that the dream tapir didn't find her, she ran up the stairs in three or two steps, and turned around and emphasized: "Be careful yourself, don't come with you!" Ignoring the reactions of the few people behind her, she crept around the corner of the hallway.

Zheng Yunyuan still fell to the ground in convulsions, and Zhao Ke stood aside playing with a small cloud of silvery-white flocculent objects.

Suddenly, Zhao Ke looked back sharply as if he sensed something.

Qiu Xuan held her breath and hid herself back a little.

Fortunately, the man just squinted his eyes and looked over for a while, but he didn't notice anything. Immediately afterwards, he turned around and walked forward over Zheng Yunyuan, who had fallen to the ground.

Qiu Xuan hid for a while, making sure that Zhao Ke had already walked away, she slowly walked out and came to Zheng Yunyuan and squatted down. She found that Zheng Yunyuan was still breathing weakly, but he fell into a coma.

So she bypassed Zheng Yunyuan and walked in the direction where Zhao Ke disappeared, and after taking a few steps, the feeling of being spied on behind her lingered. She stopped, glancing around.

The door to one of the bedrooms on the right-hand side was opened a small slit, and through the crack in the door, an eye peered at her without blinking.

Qiu Xuan continued to walk forward with a calm face and pretended to be unconscious, then suddenly turned around and slammed the door open.

The man behind the door exclaimed, and sat back on the ground as if frightened, a barely handsome face full of panic.

Ignoring the man's fear, Qiu Xuan slowly closed the door and locked it again. Then she crouched down, keeping her eyes level with the man.

"Why are you peeping at me?" She asked.

"I ...... I didn't. Li Siyao lowered her head, her eyes wandering and she didn't dare to look at her.

Qiu Xuan looked at her and paused, then said, "What do you know." Not a question, but a statement in tone.

Li Siyao panicked for a moment, but still shook her head and didn't speak.

Qiu Xuan thought about it and decided to betray Lu Xingzhou: "Do you know, Lu Xingzhou was just bitten by a dream tapir. ”

"What...... No way! Li Siyao blurted out.

"How could it be?" Qiu Xuan raised her eyebrows, "I saw with my own eyes, a few dream tapirs surrounded him, and he bit down in a few bites." ”

"How could it be...... No way. Li Siyao lowered her head and muttered to herself, then her expression turned grim and raised her head, "You're lying to me." ”

was exposed, Qiu Xuan only shrugged his shoulders and said the dog man's special words: "If you think so, I can't help it." “

"You can't fool me." Muttering to herself again, Li Siyao stopped talking, she lowered her head to her chest, hid herself like a timid and escapist ostrich, and put on a posture of refusing to talk again.

Qiu Xuan stared at her for a while, and no longer forced her to speak, waved her hand casually as a goodbye, and then opened the door and walked out.

A few steps away from the door, Zheng Yunyuan was still lying there like a corpse. Qiu Xuan continued to walk forward, and when she reached the end of the corridor, she didn't see Zhao Ke again.

Did he go up to the third floor? So Qiu Xuan raised his feet and walked up the three-story stairs. As soon as I stepped onto the floor, a smell of old wood with a faint smell of rotting wood rushed to my nostrils.

The third floor of the villa looks like a replica of the basement, with all kinds of miscellaneous items piled up, old and decayed.

She carefully brushed aside a few small parts, trying to hide her figure in the shadow of the large furniture.

Suddenly, as I passed by a large closet, the danger sense in my head rang. Then, hearing a sound of breaking the air behind his head, Qiu Xuan hurriedly dodged and fell to the side.

When the attacker saw that he missed the blow, he did not fight, dropped the crowbar that was used as a murder weapon, turned and ran.

The three floors were too dark, and the clutter was so mixed up that I couldn't see the man's face clearly. Qiu Xuan got up from the ground, picked up the physics holy sword and held it in his hand, and calmed down a little.

She continued to walk deeper into the third floor, which was surprisingly quiet except for the person who had just attacked her. Until she reached the end, she did not encounter any more danger, nor did she meet anyone.

It's a bit troublesome, Qiu Xuan secretly thought, Zhao Ke should have gone to the first floor, I hope Gu Qingyue and them are okay.

She stood at the end of the third floor, looking at the dusty wardrobe in front of her, which was hidden by a huge dust cloth. Because it's so out of place, it's just as striking as a crowd in a place where all the clutter is discarded like garbage.

Holding her breath, she pulled back the massive dust cloth and took two quick steps back.

The whole picture of the wardrobe was revealed in front of her eyes, it looked like an ordinary, slightly larger wardrobe. Qiu Xuan squinted her eyes and looked in the dim light, and her thoughts began to diverge again. It looks a bit like a vanishing cabinet, maybe a group of Death Eaters will come out on the spot in the next second?

Amusing herself with thought, she tightened her grip on the crowbar and stepped forward to carefully open the cabinet door.

Then, Qiu Xuan saw herself inside.

The wardrobe was empty and there was nothing but a full-length mirror embedded in the interior.

Qiu Xuan pursed her lips and looked at herself in the mirror - the mirror is an ordinary mirror, and the image reflected also pursed her lips with Qiu Xuan's pursed lips, and there was no horror movie plot such as the person in the mirror smiling weirdly at himself outside.

It's an ordinary mirror, and an ordinary wardrobe. After observing for a while, Qiu Xuan, who came to this conclusion, seemed a little dissatisfied, she originally thought that the third layer could find some special clues.

stared at it frustrated for a while, there was no way, Qiu Xuan had to close the closet again and prepare to go downstairs to find Gu Qingyue and them. As she passed by the place where she had been sneak up on earlier, she accidentally kicked something the floor.

Qiu Xuan bent down and groped for it, picked up the string of things and held it in his hand. I felt goosebumps on my arm rise layer by layer.

It was her birdcage necklace, the necklace she had given to Gu Qingyue just now.

Qiu Xuan stood in place and took several deep breaths to tell herself to calm down, she told herself not to think about it, Lu Xingzhou and her are win-win, there is no need to harm her, Gu Qingyue and Qin Jiuyuan have no reason.

Are you sure? At this time, Gu Qingyue's words in the "dream" remembered in her mind again, those people, those people you think you are familiar with or even a little close, do you really understand them?

At least, the side they responded to show me was real. As if answering Gu Qingyue's words "in a dream", Qiu Xuan said it softly to herself again. She settled down, wrapped the necklace around her hand, and walked down the stairs.

Qiu Xuan returned the same way. When he walked to the corridor on the second floor, Zheng Yunyuan was gone, I don't know if it was because he had completely died and was recovered by the villa, or because of something else.

In Li Siyao's room, the door had also been properly locked, and there was no movement in it as if it was empty.

Qiu Xuan walked to the edge of the stairs on the second floor, and quietly leaned out half of her body to look downstairs. Downstairs, I could only faintly hear the roar of the dream tapir and a few small human voices.

She leaned out a little more to see better, and by the time she realized something was wrong, it was too late. Before she could straighten up, a pair of hands behind her pushed directly into her back.

When she fell from the railing on the second floor, Qiu Xuan struggled to twist her waist and looked back with difficulty.

Damn/yes, it's Li Siyao again.

After crushing a few dream tapirs and falling heavily to the ground, Qiu Xuan was really a little inexplicable. If other people have inexplicable malice towards her, she still understands better, but Li Siyao? Did she mess with her somewhere?

In the "dream", she also pushed herself to the dream tapir group, although it was just a "dream", but it was enough to make Qiu Xuan depressed.

Once born and twice ripe, Qiu Xuan waited for the re-condensed dream tapir to bite her, and took this opportunity to turn her head to look at the place where the human voice came from just now.

Zhao Ke, who was floating in the air, was also looking in her direction when he heard the movement, as if he was acquiescing that Qiu Xuan was already a fish on the chopping board, and the man didn't care about her, and continued to manipulate the movements in his hands and smiled at Gu Qingyue and Lu Xingzhou, who were floating in the air by him.

Where did Qin Jiuyuan go?

Before finally losing consciousness, Qiu Xuan endured a sharp pain, and then her eyes went black and she was completely out of sync.

……

"Is Sister Qiu Xuan there, is she awake, is my sister here, is my sister awake, is I here, send a photo to see, are you awake, Sister Qiu Xuan?"

Again, Qiu Xuan woke up from the bed. She looked at the birdcage necklace tied to her hand and sighed heavily.
