It was as if I had been woken up abruptly after a long break. Yu Siqi, who regained consciousness, felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and he was particularly prostration. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a blood-stained puddle, holding a straight sword in his hand that he had never seen before, and when he looked closely, the tip of the sword seemed to be dripping with blood.

'Did you kill yourself?' Yu Siqi came up with this thought, "No, he is very sure that he fell asleep just now, there is only one possibility, it is a good thing that Yu did." ’

Looking around a little, Yu Siqi only saw the stone man that was no longer moving, and in front of its shattered 'corpse', there seemed to be a puddle of blood mixed with snow water. From the vicinity of the puddle, the bloodstains were clearly visible, and they stretched to other places.

By all indications, 'Yu hurt the woman and let her run?' Yu Siqi deduced this, and then he realized a question, wasn't he killed by the other party? Could it be said

He looked down at his chest, and found that the pierced part had been repaired by Yu for some time, and now he could say that there were almost no external injuries, except for some blood stains on his body that I don't know who it was.

It was when Siqi was trying to remember why he was here and what he planned to do. The old lady who suddenly appeared behind him was still somewhat startled, but considering that the other party was not a living person after all, it was reasonable to walk silently.

I saw that the old lady glanced at Yu Siqi with a solemn face, and then said, "Stretch out your left hand." ”

Although Yu Siqi didn't know what the old lady was going to do, he still did it. But as he stretched out his left hand, the old lady grabbed the watch on his wrist violently, and the patterns that had appeared near his elbow seemed to come to life, and swam back to the old woman's body.

After doing this, the old lady reluctantly took out a thing wrapped in silk cloth from her bosom, carefully unfolded it, and presented it in front of Yu Siqi.

Is it a curled, object that looks like a fossil, or is it a shell? Anyway, its first impression on Yu Siqi was like this. But now he is actually more concerned about what the old lady is doing in this series of operations?

It was already very suspicious to take back the 'Seal of Death' inexplicably, but now that she has given herself such a ghost thing, she can't understand what she wants to do at all.

"What? Why are you hesitating? The old lady asked calmly and indifferently, "Isn't that what you were expecting?" Put an end to this nightmare for yourself. ”

That being said, I don't even know what this thing is, do you really want to take it? Yu Siqi still hesitated for a moment, and then he realized that the reason why he appeared in the Forest of Steles was not to find the 'key prop' mentioned in Yu's mouth?

If that's the case, it's not that it doesn't make sense. It's just that in his imagination, the 'key items' should be more 'cards'.

"When are you going to let the old man wait? Although we are no longer living creatures, we are tempered. The old lady urged, as if Yu Siqi's hesitation had angered her.

"Sorry, I just deserted." Yu Siqi, who received the complaint, hurriedly stretched out his hand to the object, although he still had a trace of doubt in his heart, he couldn't care so much now.

But the moment he touched the thing, the scene around him shook violently, and with this strange vibration, Yu Siqi noticed that he seemed to be forcibly transferred.

Sure enough, things are not as simple as they imagined! Are you in the hands of an old lady? Where will it go, just leave, or will it? ’

When the shaking stopped, he found himself in a dimly lit attic, where the only light in the room came from the small window directly in front of him. Next to the window was a small bed with a broken doll that had been mended and patched up.

Yu Siqi, who realized that he had not returned to the pond, breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time he also noticed a new situation, that is, he was now empty-handed. The sword he had held in his right hand seemed to have disappeared in the process of being transferred, which was really not good news, and he had fantasized about using it for self-defense.

Following the glimmer of light from the window, Yu Siqi found the secret door downstairs. But when he was about to pull it up and go down, he found that the secret door could not be opened. And from the crack in the door, there seems to be a figure lingering outside.

Was this part of the old lady's plan to keep herself trapped in this place forever? Yu Siqi thought of this possibility, and as time passed, the unjustified suspicion became more firm.

Time passed little by little, and in this small attic with an area of less than ten square meters, Yu Siqi had anxiously rummaged through every corner here. The windows were even opened, just to try to find any way out.

The result was cruel, the window was too small for his stature to pass through. There was no other way to leave, only the secret door on the soles of his feet, which seemed to be his only way.

He returned to the edge of the secret door and began a new attempt, unfortunately, no matter how much strength he tried, he could not open the secret door in the slightest, as if there was an invisible force that sealed the secret door.

Just as Siqi was panting and preparing to take a rest, and when he was making plans again, an old voice came from downstairs.

"Don't bother, young master, the old master has said it—you must stay here this summer, and you are not allowed to run around."

Yu Siqi was a little surprised to hear someone talking, but then again, since the other party can speak, does that mean that he can communicate?

If you can, can you let the other party open this secret door for you?

It's worth a try.

Thinking of this, Yu Siqi cleared his throat and asked, "Why can't this secret door be opened?" ”

"That's because young master, why did you run up there?" The voice below was full of doubts.

‘？ It was the first time Yu Siqi had heard this kind of honorific title, but in any case, the other party seemed to have mistaken himself for something, which might be a good thing.

"I was so playful that I didn't pay attention." Yu Siqi casually made up an excuse.

"Hey, come down quickly, and let the old student open the door for you."

As soon as the words below fell, the secret door automatically turned into a slide under Yu Siqi's nose, leading to the bottom.

Yu Siqi stole a glance at the situation below, and found another old lady ghost standing at the bottom of the slide, looking respectfully in this direction.

'Why are there so many old lady ghosts, what kind of fate did I have with the old lady to be like this?' Yu Siqi was in turmoil, to be honest, he was still a little resistant in his heart at this moment, after all, he had just been pitted by the previous 'old lady'. But when I thought about it, this might be my only way out, and I probably had to let it go.

Probably because he had been delayed for too long, the old lady below asked in a loud voice: "Come down quickly, the banquet is about to begin." ”
