For the first time, Bai Wanwan saw Louis in a formal suit—though they hadn't seen each other a few times.

It was still a baroque white shirt, with a long dark blue coat that was buttoned to the top. A silver pocket watch chain falls from the placket. The black trousers are tucked into boots, and both the tassels on the collar and the dark lines of roses look particularly delicate. Louis was extremely tall, and no matter what he was wearing, he looked straight and well, and the leather belt buckled the young man's slender but not delicate waist, and at the side hung the long sword that he never left his body.

The large oil paintings hanging in the living room, the faint fragrance of flowers in the air, the melodious music and the warm lighting. He is like a Francoeland aristocrat in the old century who came out of the painting, elegant, upright, and cold.

There was no expression on his face, and his dead gray blue eyes shone in the light. The thin lips, which were usually too pale, also looked a little bloody at this time.

Bai Wanwan stepped forward with the hem of her skirt, and the lady stretched out her hand in front of Louis, who kindly took the back of her hand and kissed her politely.

In fact, Bai Wanwan is not proficient in dancing, and the heroines in the past are all peerless martial arts talents in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is an orphan who can only make up for it temporarily.

Although there are only two protagonists in this dance, Bai Wanwan still has a sweet smile throughout the whole process. The violin played classical music to the beat of the gramophone, and she took Louis's cold hand and fluttered like a butterfly fluttering among the flowers in the center of the living room.

Her eyes were blue and clear, and Louis could find a clear reflection of herself in her eyes when she looked over. The girl bent her eyes to look at him, as if he were the only one in her eyes at all times.

Louis pursed his lips, the corners of his stiff mouth curling with a subtle and almost inaudible arc of pleasure. For some reason, Bai Wanwan always made him feel that she would shine.

The atmosphere was warm and cheerful, and even 001 was a little lazy and lax, lying on the big doll bear with his head propped up, looking like he was about to fall asleep. But when the clock struck ten o'clock, it was so frightened that it almost jumped up the chandelier.

There are still two hours left. However, Bai Wanwan was pulling Louis to sit on the sofa and drink, and the beautiful glass goblet was filled with a clear fuchsia liquor, which looked extremely soaking. Bai Wanwan smacked his lips with great emotion in one gulp, this is a wine older than the 82-year-old Lafite.

Louis also drank a few glasses very face-saving, Bai Wanwan finally knew what wine was to be bold and courageous, and she looked at Louis slightly drunk at the moment without the slightest fear in her heart. She even threw herself on the couch with a smile and propped up her arms to hold Louis on the couch.

Louis was forced to lie straight and look at the little girl with a beautiful crimson face on her face because of her drunkenness.

"Louis." She opened her mouth like a dream, and her originally blue eyes were so gentle that they could drip at the moment: "AWSL, you are so beautiful." ”

Louis was silent.

As if remembering something, Bai Wanwan rubbed the tip of her nose against the bridge of Louis's tall nose and said seriously: "I don't like that golden key." The taste of wine that overflowed from her mouth was still sweet, and Louis subconsciously turned his head unnaturally.

Bai Wanwan held his face unhappily and looked back at him: "Because I like Louis very much, so Louis will always be as happy as tonight." ”

He was happy, and even obediently changed into a formal set of clothes to mess around with her. As he held her hand and danced, the dead gray-blue eyes looked like two icy sapphires.

001 frantically tugged at Bai Wanwan's skirt in the hope that the host, who seemed to have lost his mind, would sober up, but before 001 came to his senses, Bai Wanwan was making a fuss about going back to the room.

The girl's drunken stride looked extremely unsteady, and she stood up and kissed Louis on the cheek in obedience, and then she squinted and smiled as if she was satisfied, and walked back on the stairs crookedly.

Louis stared at her back, and the lights in the living room dimmed as she walked up the stairs. Even the music stopped abruptly as if it were suddenly stuck.

He sat in the darkness, his eyes glowing blue. In the moonlight, the time of the pendulum clock was still ticking, like some kind of countdown.

"Damn, be sober, you're dying." 001 staggered all the way and chased after Bai Wanwan and screamed.

Bai Wanwan, who changed her face after the corner, also panicked: "I know, but what can I do, I'm also desperate, I can't kneel in front of him and beg him not to kill me??" ”

The room that can be reached by walking a few steps on weekdays is now like being infinitely prolonged because of the effect of alcohol, and when 001 realizes that the scene is a little wrong, Bai Wanwan is taking out the golden key in the deep darkness and stabbing it into the lock as if he has lost his soul.

“？？？ What are you doing!! 001 jumped up and jumped on Bai Wanwan's hand, almost fainting in fright, and in Bai Wanwan's point of view, she was just pulling out a mediocre iron key and opening the door to her room.

The red-painted door smelled faintly of blood, and the key seemed to have magical power to lure Bai Wanwan to open the door. At some point, it was raining heavily, thunder and lightning were louder than the night before, lightning illuminated the gloomy room on the top floor, and the carpet on the ground was like blood flowing from the crack in the door.

The corners of her mouth were curled and her blue eyes were covered with a layer of gray, and she finally pushed open the door as she wished.

In an instant, thunder rang out. Bai Wanwan came back to her senses as if she had been suddenly awakened, staring blankly at the dark void behind the door.

"it!" Bai Wanwan was shocked.

"it!" This is the shock of 001.

"I'm dead."

"You're dead."

“……”

The candle flame in the hallway was extinguished instantly, and the ajar door opened a few more minutes by itself, as if inviting guests. In the dark, only the occasional lightning illuminates the house. Bai Wanwan and 001 looked at each other: "So I ...... now"

"Why are you stunned, run!!"

Bai Wanwan could even hear the creaking of the man's leather boots on the wooden staircase, and in the silence of the night, this strange sound was infinitely amplified, and it was getting closer and closer. Bai Wanwan's heart was beating like thunder, and she wanted to be a ghost to die, so she simply entered the room.

When the next lightning came, she could see what was inside the house. Two heads that had only a layer of decay left on the bones were neatly placed on the table, looking directly at the white silk in the doorway, and on either side of the door, two headless corpses hanging from ropes and still dripping viscous liquid were shaking in the wind.

Even the wind pouring in from the window could not blow away the smell of corpses and decay in the room. The two heads seemed to have found a white ribbon, and even cracked the corners of their mouths at her in the darkness against the light.

She thought she was going to be paralyzed from fright, but her mind was horribly clear now. The downpour could not hide the man's unhurried footsteps. Bai Wanwan looked out from the door, and saw that the servants were all gathered under the escalator at the moment, almost 180 degrees, twisting their heads and looking at her with a stiff smile.

It was like the sound of a man slowly pulling out his long sword, with a crisp sound. Bai Wanwan's feet looked straight at the corner of the stairs as if they were nailed to the ground.

He came out of the darkness, stepping on a carpet that was still spilling blood. Dead gray eyes stiffened and rolled in their sockets, as if searching for prey. The tall figure of 1.9 meters imprinted a terrifying shadow on the wall, and that perfect face suddenly appeared under the lightning. It's even weirder than the expressionless face I saw two days ago.

"Host, hold on!! I didn't have the gas in my house, so I left first. 001 shuddered and quickly disappeared by the window, no matter how many times it saw this dungeon villain, it was afraid of this perversion from the bottom of its heart. As for Bai Wanwan... emmm it would silently pray for her safety.

"Louis." The girl stood there and looked at the monster man with the sharp sword that had been unsheathed. She didn't even wait for him to raise her hand and stab the sword over, she grabbed her skirt and flew up and hugged him: "Louis! ”

Wait, wait, keep people under the sword!!

There was no warmth on the man's face, and he stared at the petite girl trembling with fear in his arms. The longsword was still raised.

"There were ghosts in that house, and they tricked me into opening the door, and they said it was your parents." The girl's tears rolled down his cold clothes and stained him with a layer of wetness: "They also said that they would come out and kill you." What to do with Louis. ”

You Kang, I'm just a weakling, they tricked me into opening the door, and it has nothing to do with me.

The girl hugged him as if she was holding the most beloved treasure in the world, and her gentle voice was a little hoarse because of choking at the moment: "They are so scary, how can they be Louis's parents?" ”

I'm so scared!! Ahhhh Bai Wanwan's heart collapsed.

The two grinning heads in the room were gloating. Soon he would hang the weak girl in his room with them. The man's eyes rolled, and even the hand holding the sword began to slowly lower. Bai Wanwan straightened up and looked up at him, the girl's pale face was covered with tears, and her eyes were red and looked extremely pitiful: "Louis will protect me, right?" ”

The slender sword was raised from behind her back, pointing straight at her slender neck. As if he didn't perceive the danger behind him, Bai Wanwan insisted on tugging at the pocket watch chain on his placket and asked, "Louis said that he will be with me forever." ”

The man's expression was a little confused, and the sweet smell of the girl covered the stench of rotting corpses in the air. The smell easily reminded him of the invisible person who gently stroked his hair when he was a child, holding him tightly in his arms.

The pair of heads in the room had already begun to curse, and as long as the girl retrieved the relics while fleeing for her life, they could come out and fight the demon. However, the girl didn't seem to have the slightest intention of running away.

He was extremely cold, like a piece of ice that would not melt. Those dead eyes always reveal a creepy meaning when they stare at people. He should have stabbed the sword down her throat and watched her blood splatter out to wash away the stains. But when he looked at her big tears rolling down and her clear eyes looking at him like looking up to a god, he couldn't lift his hand.

The poor girl trusts the monster that came to take her life as a last straw. Louis was displeased, but not angry. It was at this moment that he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Why is she crying? No, he didn't care about that, he cared about her crying so pathetic and no one would come to save her.

The man bent down and picked up the girl in his arms and walked towards the room step by step, his strange expression invisible under the translucent lightning. He stared down at the two heads that had rolled to the ground like a dead rat in the sewers, and stepped on his black leather boots. It wasn't until his skull shattered and cracked into a puddle of disgusting, foul-smelling liquid that he felt a little less uncomfortable in his heart.

At this moment, he had completely forgotten what he was here for, and Louis, who only had a girl in his eyes, just obeyed his own heart and crushed everything that scared her to tears.

There were no more secrets in that room, and Louis took the golden key from her wrist and threw it into the black-red viscous blood on the ground, and he looked down at the key as if he had said goodbye to the dark past, and turned away without hesitation.

"I like Louis the best."

"Louis is so good-looking!"

"Louis, can you come back sooner?"

"Louis?"

In the man's empty and numb world, he could only recall the sweet tone of the girl's tail note when she called his name. She fell into a cup of bitter coffee like a piece of sweet and glutinous toffee, and her expression was so panicked when she occasionally showed it, but she always smiled unconditionally when she faced him.

At this moment, the girl in her arms was hugging his neck, and her eyes and nose were red from crying, looking squeamish and pitiful. The dark night, the rain that never stops. Bai Wanwan reached out and stroked his hair, as if in a dream. His eyes rolled, and a little strickenness appeared on his pale and sickly face.

"Wanwan ......," the man's murmur seemed to be lingering between his lips and teeth, delicately overflowing. Those blue eyes also glowed with a warm glow.

He carried the light man in his arms down the stairs and into the candlelight. The red roses in the garden withered in the heavy rain.

And the door that closes will no longer need the key of sin to open it. The clock had already struck twelve o'clock in the morning.
