Masked Man

The moment his hands touched the ground, Yu Siqi's body suddenly flipped over for some unspeakable special reason, directly making him realize what it means to be upside down. Although he was generally mentally prepared, the sudden appearance of such a scene really caused him a little fright.

After all, it was certainly not a good feeling to suddenly have an irresistible force tugging at his wrist and lifting him up, and then putting him down heavily.

Taking the time to stabilize his mentality, Yu Siqi moved his gaze to the surroundings of this courtyard. He found that the courtyard next to the mansion looked like it had only recently been tended, because both the manicured lawn and the fallen leaves that had been swept away showed that it was not an 'abandoned place'.

At the same time, it also indirectly proves that the figure that Yu Siqi saw before is real, and it is very likely that there are 'people' in this place.

Thinking of this, Yu Siqi instantly became alert, and he stared carefully at the wooden door leading to the mansion for a few seconds, feeling that he might need to go elsewhere. Instead of wasting time in this unsheltered courtyard with nothing to investigate, head to the mansion to see if you can find Walnut's whereabouts.

Once you figured out what to do next, it was easy. Pushing open the unlocked wooden door, Yu Siqi officially entered a very old wooden building.

The dimly lit corridors and flickering light sources made the dilapidated mansion a somewhat eerie one, with many bloodstain-like stains on the mottled and peeling interior walls.

However, when Yu Siqi got closer, he realized that the stains, which almost merged with the cracked walls, had been here for at least many years.

Walking through the corridor, Yu Siqi came to a very messy room. The attic and ceiling above have a very large hole, and the falling wood and sand take up most of the room. The only path that has been carved out is probably only recently, as it seems to be connected to the corridor leading to the courtyard.

Following this path, Yu Siqi entered a room lit with candles. The room, which was very lively, attracted his attention, the broken windows had been temporarily sealed with a few planks removed from elsewhere, and in the corner there was a sturdy wooden bed, which, judging by the sheets on it, should have been slept with recently.

Thinking of this, Yu Siqi adjusted his perspective, and he saw a very large box on the ground. If he'd expected it to be a storage box for his personal belongings, there would be a good chance that it would be able to provide a pair of pants for him to change into. When he thought that he could finally change out of the pants that always made his ass cold, Yu Siqi was still a little excited. But just as he was about to open the box, he put the shotgun on his back in his hand and thought, 'Be careful'.

Yu Siqi, who lifted the box with his left hand and aimed his shotgun at it with his right hand, focused his attention on the inside of the box. As a result, when he completely opened the box, he realized that it was really just some men's clothes. Putting away his extra vigilance, Yu Siqi reached into the box, and he felt a hard tree trunk while searching between the piles of clothes. When he took it out and looked at it, a pungent fragrance evaporated from it.

He only flickered for a moment, and realized that the trunk in his hand should be a 'embalming tool' made of camphor trees.

"I'm really good at living!" Yu Siqi threw the trunk back into the box, found a pair of darker pants from it, and made a circle around his waistline, thinking that there should be no problem, and then changed it for himself.

Looking down at these pants with a somewhat unusual style, Yu Siqi sighed and finally didn't have to let his ass be 'scared', and then moved his eyes to the rest of the room.

There was a large mirror hanging from the head of the bed, but it had broken into several pieces and fell to the floor. The only source of light in the room came from the candles on the long wooden table, and looking at the hand-carved statue of the god resting above the rows of candles, Yu Siqi wondered what the people here still believed.

After confirming that there was nothing left in this room to investigate, Yu Siqi unceremoniously put a candle in his pocket, stuffed it into his pocket and said, "Just in case." ”

Maybe it was because of the close observation of the statue, Yu Siqi suddenly felt that this thing was a little familiar, although he didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he did care a little bit.

For this reason, he even reached over and tried to pick it up and take a closer look.

As a result, at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud noise in front of him, which was the sound of porcelain falling to the ground, he had heard it in the Jiang family ancestral hall before, and he would never be mistaken.

'There's movement over there?' After this thought came to mind, Yu Siqi withdrew his right hand that was stretched out to the idol, but re-grasped the shotgun firmly in his hand, and cautiously rushed towards the place where the voice came from.

When he arrived at the target location, Yu Siqi only saw an empty house, no living people, and no 'terrible monsters'. There was just a 'lame' table and a few finely carved round stools. If it weren't for the fact that there were some ceramic objects scattered on the floor around the overturned table, which looked like they had recently been broken, he almost thought he was having auditory hallucinations!

Judging from the performance of one table leg 'lame', Yu Siqi guessed that someone should have put the ceramic products on the table before, and the table leg was lame. And he fell from above to the ground and shattered. That's when he got his attention.

Looking at the increasing evidence of 'living people' living here, Yu Siqi felt that he should be more careful in his next actions.

At least try not to bump into the other person head-on until you're sure whether they're acting in good faith or bad faith.

Bypassing the rotten table, Yu Siqi pushed open the door of this room, it didn't matter if he pushed it, he bumped into a guy wearing a sacrificial mask and several monk-like robes.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, both sides took a half step back in surprise, and then Yu Siqi realized that the situation was very bad.

Because let's not talk about how scary this guy's sacrificial mask is, and I won't discuss what sect those monks' robes represent. Just said that the other party didn't say a word, a pale right hand stretched out directly from the thick cuffs, and then he shook it slightly in front of Siqi, and a blood-stained sacrificial long knife appeared on his right hand out of thin air. This is not 'good news' worth celebrating for Siqi!

"Hey, don't be impulsive! I..."

Yu Siqi's attempt to reason with the other party was quickly crushed, and if the knife he swung down in front of him had not been guarded against, I am afraid that half of his face would have been broken on the spot.

Of course, it was precisely because of the other party's initiative that Yu Siqi gave up the idea of communicating with him. After all, since the other party is directly ruthless, it is a bit too naïve for him to 'understand and reason, and move to be emotional'.

That being said, though. Yu Siqi, who only had one bullet left, was actually a little flustered in his heart, because this was his last 'means of self-defense', and once it didn't work, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, it was no longer the time to continue to make Yu Siqi think, and the other party's repeated 'onslaught' on him made Yu Siqi, a rookie with little 'combat experience', quickly forced into a corner.

Feeling the coolness coming from the wall behind him, Yu Siqi held his breath and stared intently at the other party's next move.

Yes, when the other party is about to approach you in a stabbing way. Yu Siqi, who didn't have time to continue grinding, pulled the bolt of the gun and pulled the trigger.

A 'bang' was followed by a disappointing miss.

There is no doubt that the other party is not as stupid as the two little fools before him. In fact, the moment Yu Siqi pulled the trigger, the other party had already flashed out of Yu Siqi's shooting range very quickly. This long-prepared attack did not have the desired effect, but it was undoubtedly very fatal for Siqi, because he had no extra bullets to shoot.

But fortunately, although the shot just now did not hit the target, it blasted the innocent round stool into the air. Although this time did not hurt the other party, the power displayed seemed to make him a little afraid. At least he didn't approach him as recklessly as he had before, but stared very cautiously at the bulletless shotgun in his hand, as if he felt it was still a threat.

Yu Siqi, who guessed the other party's intentions, felt that this might be an opportunity, although he was not good at acting, but now he was not allowed to choose the script anymore.

Instead of wasting his 'bottom line' with the other party here, it is better to find a way to escape elsewhere as soon as possible before the other party doesn't know his 'bottom line'. After all, there are so many rooms in this mansion, as long as you are not unlucky, you should be able to easily hide somewhere that is not easy to detect.
