"Mercury, I'm here to pick you up...... ”

Chi Yi cautiously walked up to the storage room located in the attic of this mansion, and the spiritual power in his body was even more ready to be released, all of which were condensed.

Outside the storeroom, the door was hidden, and from time to time there was a 'tick, tick, tick' sound that seemed to be falling like a liquid echoing through the room.

Ikeichi leaned against the wall on the side of the door, trying to peek inside through the crack in the door.

"Why didn't Inspector Ikeme come in when he got to the door, because he was afraid that I would set some trap?" Suddenly, a mysterious voice came from it, and there seemed to be a shallow smile hidden in the tone.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been discovered, Chi Yi naturally had nothing to continue to hide, so he immediately walked out of the side of the wall and pushed the door straight in.

Frankly speaking, Chi Yi never worried that Xuan Yu would set any so-called traps or hide hidden weapons.

And the reason why he was so careful was just to know the location of the mercury and whether she was safe.

After all, he is not the kind of person who wants to be heroic, and the purpose of his trip has always been just for Mercury alone.

Walking into the storage room, Chi Yi's gaze simply looked around everything in the room.

The old shelves, and the remains of dolls that are scattered all over the floor, cannot be reused for various reasons, or have flaws, all show a sense of desolation.

And the yellowed white candles on the wall are burning themselves hard at the moment, releasing light.

Although Chi Yi doesn't come to take care of this room much on weekdays, the basic furnishings and piles of miscellaneous items here have not changed too much from what he remembers.

If anything, it's just that there are too many things inside, which makes the overall sense of space a little more crowded.

Chi Yi retracted his gaze, if Mercury wasn't here, then where would Xuan Yu hide him?

Thinking of this, he only felt a little annoyed.

And just when he was restless, the constant sound of 'tick, tick' was not found for a long time, and it continued to reach his ears.

"Executive Xuan, you went to great lengths to bring me here, not just to talk to me. As he spoke, Chi Yi casually pulled a dusty chair from the side and sat down casually.

And Xuan Wu, who was standing on the side of the storage room, saw that he looked like he was beautiful and wandering, and he didn't look at himself at all, so he was not in a hurry or annoyed.

At this time, the claws on his back had disappeared without a trace.

The clothes he was wearing before have also been changed into new ones, and it seems that he has been back for a long time, and he is even ready to welcome Chi Yi here.

"Isn't that good, instead of being disturbed by 'flies' outside, it is better to sit quietly and talk about the future...... ”

In the last two words, Xuan Yu deliberately lowered the volume.

It's just that in this overly quiet room, even the slightest sound can be looped, as clear as the echo of a mountain stream, not to mention the sound of mysterious words.

"Heh, the future...... ”

Chi Yi sneered, and his gaze suddenly became condensed.

"Actually, you really don't really do much to me compared to mercury. Even in my original plan, I didn't count you in it at all.

It's just that the ability of this Ikeme clan is too tempting.

It's tempting, after my plan is ruined step by step by Talos and Ye Rinrin. Even I began to wonder if all this elaborate preparation was really going to be ruined at the hands of these two people. ”

When he said this, even though his face still maintained a gentle and calm expression, the hatred hidden in his voice was clearly revealed.

"But, then I figured it out. With the power of your Ikeme clan, the power to spy on the future of others, I can change the future, change everything that is about to happen in the future, and that will make me fail——! ”

As soon as the words came out, Xuanyu's originally gentle smile was suddenly infinitely magnified.

At this moment, Xuan Yu seemed to fall into an inexplicable excitement, facing the dim candlelight in the storage room, and the slightly rampant smiling face actually made people feel indescribably gloomy.

“……”

Ji Yi didn't speak, and he didn't want to waste time with him here at all.

Originally, he just wanted to use vague words. But look at the mystery in front of me that has become no different from a madman, and the face that laughs so distorted. Chi Yi suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.

Looking back at the beginning, Chi Yi just felt that Xuan Yu gave people the impression that it was too hypocritical, and that kind of hypocrisy disgusted him.

But when he saw with his own eyes, the moment the beast's claws protruded from Xuan's back, Chi Yi clearly realized that what he hated before was not Xuanfu's hypocrisy at all.

Rather, from head to toe, he was like a beast in human skin, which was incomprehensible......

'Tick-'

Just as the two looked at each other, the sound of an empty sound like water droplets falling came again.

The sound echoed in the storage room, although it was not loud, but it was enough to pull Chi Yi's thoughts that had been condensed on Xuan Yu's body suddenly back at this moment.

"Looks like it's almost time...... ”

At this time, Xuan Wu suddenly spoke. As if he was expecting something, he withdrew his gaze and landed on the wall behind him.

The walls, like the overall plan of the storeroom, were made of square bricks and stones, and they didn't look anything special.

But Xuan Yu slowly put his hand on the brick wall and stroked it gently.

As he touched it, the dense spiritual power in his palm gradually overflowed, and began to slowly penetrate into the cracks in the wall......

A delicate powdery dark gray that shimmers faintly along the gaps.

The light dots are patched together and gradually connected......

Chi Yi was stunned for a moment, he thought it was just a special substance that adsorbed spiritual power. But when you look closely, you can find that this wall is clearly full of dense spells, and it is gathered by these countless spells, a huge array!

At this time, the entire wall glows slightly, and the masonry on it moves more as if it has been given life.

As one of the bricks and stones fell, and completely presented a special formation on the wall that was thought to be a stepped cascade and staggered, and thought that a half-mysterious arc was included in it, only to hear a muffled sound of 'boom-', and then it came out!

In an instant, the entire storage room began to tremble slightly.

Chi Yi silently moved his hand behind him, although he didn't know what would happen next, but a bad premonition was gradually spreading in his heart at this moment as the amplitude of the vibration increased......

On the wall, the traces of the stairs carved by the array of spells were now little by little, so that the entire wall seemed to be divided, peeling off to both sides.

'Tick, tick-and-tick-'

As the walls detached and opened, the sound of the liquid falling became clearer.

Chi Yi couldn't help but clench the hand holding the spatula behind his back tighter, completely prepared to face it no matter what appeared inside.

However, just as the wall was completely opened.

What appeared in front of him was a scene that Chi Yi couldn't have imagined no matter what......
