Chapter 61: The Dark Mansion
Ninety-Nine Green never felt so deep asleep.
As a killer, she never had a way to find a place to sleep peacefully, nor did she have anyone she could absolutely trust. Even when she is sleeping, she can often subconsciously perceive someone approaching her.
Especially during those days as an apartment resident.
But at this time, she gradually began to feel the boundary between dream and reality.
The last memory is still maintained at Kitayama Shrine. And after that......
After that, what happened?
Little by little, she began to open her eyes, and then, all she saw was darkness ahead.
She quickly raised her hand and began to touch her surroundings.
At the same time, she also immediately decided that she was sitting in a relatively old chair.
Right now......
"Tear the ......"
Ninety-Nine Green immediately saw that on a desk not far from him, a candle on a candlestick had been lit.
The candle that ignited automatically also made her see her surroundings clearly.
It was an ancient room that looked like it was passing through, the room was dark, and the distance away was a half-hidden door.
However, when he saw this scene, Ninety-Nine Green's eyes widened.
"Here...... It's ......"
When I was at Kitayama Shrine, that weird, creepy feeling came out again.
It didn't originate from Kitayama Shrine, but something more terrifying and evil.
"This ......"
Why...... Will she come back here?
Ninety-Nine Green forcibly propped up his body and watched everything around him vigilantly.
Although a long time has passed, she still remembers everything in this mansion vividly.
At this time, the mansion was covered with cobwebs, and it looked very old.
Why are you coming back here?
Almost instantly, Midori was sure of one thing: it was obviously because of the apartment. If it weren't for the apartment, she would never have had such an experience.
"It seems that I can't get rid of the curse of the apartment after all."
Although he said this, he did not show even the slightest look of fear on his green face. It seems that for her, fear is an emotion that is insulated from her.
Next, Midori slowly stood up, walked over to the table, and held up the candle.
"I'm still alive...... Well, that means the apartment wasn't going to kill me outright. ”
Midori is very clear-headed, although she was once the world's No. 1 poison master, and she has quite strong personal force, but she still has no ability to resist in front of the apartment. Therefore, as long as she does not die, it proves that the apartment must have some purpose in bringing her here.
For Midori, the most optimistic consideration is that there is a situation where you can successfully execute the blood letter instructions and find a way out. And the worst-case scenario......
"Am I being converted into space, or am I being transported back in time?"
At that time, as a shadow warrior who worked for the Tokugawa shogunate, she had been in charge of concocting poisons, and at that time she was tasked by the shogun to come to China, which was still the Qing Dynasty at that time. At that time, her shadow was automatically pulled in front of an inn, and then, she became a guest of the inn, and she had to perform ten blood words or demon king-level blood words to break free from the curse and fulfill a wish. At that time, the shogun sent Midori to China with the mission of researching a drug that could make people immortal. Traditional Chinese medicine is vast and profound, and it has countless miraculous medicinal materials that cannot be found in Japan.
Although she fulfilled her wish and completely sealed the Demon King with the help of Li Yin and others nine years ago, and successfully escaped from the apartment, she had a faint intuition at that time that everything would not end so simply.
And now, it has come true.
"Exactly as it was written in that book......"
Although she lives in Japan, she also browses Chinese websites, so she clearly remembers the book called "The Devil's Apartment". The author of that book, Black Ghost Fire, is obviously a current apartment resident. Later, when Yajin contacted her, he also mentioned the nightmare she had. Midori didn't tell Yama directly about the incident, but realized that the two seemed to be related.
At that time, after reading the book, she immediately went to China and, according to the description, came to the Qingshan Expressway in K City.
has lived too long, and Midori doesn't mind his life and death very much. On the contrary, she created poison that led to the death of many people. At first, he was working for the shogun, but later he wanted to use the power of those European and American underground organizations to track down the truth about the apartment and the demon king. Back then, because he knew in advance from Pu Shenyu's father that the "Sleeping Beauty" Shangguan Mian would become an apartment resident, he deliberately trained her, but he was actually using her.
Midori thinks that if she has to die, she wants to have a worthwhile way to die. In any case, Li Yin and the others, who had freed her from leaving the apartment, wanted to approach Quan to help them get rid of the shadow of this apartment forever. If it were possible, she would even want to find a way to destroy this apartment permanently.
Little by little, she came to the half-hidden door, then raised her hand and opened it slightly.
Midori poked his head out a little and lit the candle.
In front of him was a long, narrow and dark corridor, and a short distance to the left was a locked door.
"This ......"
She moved the candle again, and then, with a fixed gaze, she saw that under the locked door there was a very intricately crafted doll-sized figure!
Looking at the doll, she grabbed the candle in her hand.
The doll is represented by a little girl dressed in red. And for this puppet, Midori is very familiar. She had seen it when she visited the mansion.
Right now...... Is it possible that she has returned to the Qing Dynasty? With the power of the apartment, it is also very easy to change time and space. However, judging from the dilapidated appearance of this mansion now, it may still be modern.
She slowly closed the door and began to think about what to do next.
There is simply too little information at the moment...... If it was the execution of the blood word, she would have the bottom of her heart. There will be measures to protect the residents of the Blood Letter, but in the current situation, she is not enforcing the Blood Letter.
"I'm not a resident right now, but the apartment is clearly not trying to kill me outright."
It is unreasonable for an apartment to bring back a resident who has already left to be tortured. You must know that according to the rules of the apartment, residents who have successfully completed the blood letter ten times will no longer be able to conjure up residents even if they return to the alleyway where the apartment is located.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the entrance to hell that is described in the book. I guess it was because I went to the Aoyama Expressway in K City that I encountered all this. But instead of being killed directly, I fell into a curse......"
Midori judged that he was now caught in a bloody curse related to the householders.
"Could it be that this mansion has now become a place for the occupants to execute the blood letter?"
She raised her hand, stroked her forehead slightly, and thought of many possibilities.
The apartment is usually extremely cruel to passers-by who strayed into the place where the blood character was executed, and killed a hundred people when they came, and they would not let her live for so long. So, is it the intention to make her a guide for the new occupants?
"Could it be that all I know about this mansion is a clue to the way of life that the residents can get?"
Back then, everything she experienced when she came to this mansion was all for the blood of today's residents?
She reopened the hidden door and looked over at the locked door.
"I remember, it should be ...... behind that door"
But at this moment, Midori's complexion suddenly changed!
Because she saw that the puppet on the ground was gone!
At this moment, she suddenly felt that her throat was choked by something, and the feeling of being in the Kitayama Shrine Gushu Bird Pavilion came up again.
"It's her...... She...... It's coming......"
Then, she suddenly felt a little blurred consciousness, and when she regained consciousness, she suddenly found that she was lying in the hallway, and everything around her became extremely large......
She found out in an instant......
She conjured up the red-clad doll!
……
When Li Yin set foot on the land of K City again, he was actually a little homesick.
Originally, he planned not to come back here for the rest of his life.
There are so many dark and bloody memories in this place.
At this time, he came to the wind true road.
This is the location of the Golden Mile College, the school of his college days, and there are many memories of that time.
"There's a new subway station here." Li Yin looked at the exit of the subway station not far away, and the storefronts in his memory in the past could be said to have been swept away at this time.
After returning to K City, the place he wanted to come to the most was actually here...... He was also surprised.
Just getting out of the taxi, he strolled along Fengzhen Road. He plans to reminisce about the past here and then go to the hotel.
His wife, Yazhen, stayed in W City, after all, she had to take care of the children. He came here mainly to find out the situation first.
After a long time, he finally came to the gate of Golden Mile Academy.
Now...... When I was in college, it was like the last century. At that time, what happiness, in this carefree ivory tower, I hardly knew what sorrow was.
Just then, the phone rang.
Dong Xie picked up the mobile phone and looked at the electricity, it was a silver night.
"Hey, Silvernight?"
"Li Yin, have you arrived in K City?"
"Hmm. It's here. Well, I'm only going to meet with three residents, and it has to be in public. ”
"I know. It's going to be in a location where they can't track you down, and I won't give them your phone number. ”
"Actually, you don't have to be so cautious...... However, this year's household, you don't seem to have a low evaluation, Silver Night. ”
"Not long ago, they did a good job in Japan. Among them, the resident named Dong Xie, although the number of blood words is not the highest, I think he is a very good seedling. ”
"The name...... It's really funny......
