168 Lies (3)
"And then?" I asked Yin Yan.
I don't remember much about what happened next, except vaguely that she carried me to the next room, where she thought it was, and put me in the bathtub in the bathroom, and turned on the faucet...... You say, I fell into a slumber, and the water drowned me, what happened to me? β
Naturally, suffocation!
From just now, I really saw that Yin Yan's face was not good, and he seemed to be weak, and he was even more tired and tired, but he was holding on to cheering up.
"If it weren't for the shock just now that made me wake up, I'm afraid I'm ...... by now" He hammered down the handrail angrily, really angry, "Xiaolan, although I have always been close to you, but I grew up with your sister, and now I am engaged to her at her request, if there are no other changes, I will definitely marry her, why can she still do such a thing in a frenzy?" β
I looked at him, speechless.
He didn't seem to expect my answer, he closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and his pale face made him look a little helpless and vulnerable, and even thought that he might fall asleep.
I just sat and stood like this, and I don't know how long we were silent with each other, I felt strange under my feet, and when I looked down, I found that the carpet I was stepping on was wet, and I could squeeze water out of the carpet with a little force under my feet.
I turned my head to look at the bathroom door in shock, and at some point, the sound of the water jet hitting the door was gone, but in the few slashes under the door, the pure water only poured into the room.
What shocked me even more was that behind the bathroom door, there was a dark shadow, as if it were ...... It seems that the bathroom has been completely filled with water at this time, and it is almost conceivable that if the bathroom door collapses, the water from there will instantly pour into the room.
Judging from the fact that the water column could hurt me just now, I was flooded by these unusual waters, even if it was a soul body, it would also suffocate, and what was even more terrifying was that if this water was equivalent to sulfuric acid, the fate of me being flooded by this water was already predictable.
"Ahh
I shouted Yin Yan tremblingly, and he opened his eyes, and as I looked, he immediately stood up and came behind me, and in doing so, he also found the soaked floor.
"I wanted to ask you just now, but I was too unmotivated...... What's going on with the water column of the faucet, what's going on with the water now...... How do I feel like we're in a fantasy world? β
"I don't know......" I said dryly, not lying, I really don't know what world and what space I'm in now, I'm skeptical, am I still in the real world?
I have experienced dreams, I have experienced running to another space formed by obsession, I have experienced the labyrinth of formations, and I can't figure out whether this villa at this moment is real or fake.
"No matter, let's find a way to escape first, this bathroom door won't last long." He turned around and walked to the door of the room, and when I saw that he was about to open the door, I hurriedly called out to him: "No, there is something outside." β
"What?" His pupils twitched.
There have been such bizarre things as the faucet chasing us and filling the bathroom with water, so I told him directly about the situation outside, especially the two paintings: "...... The hair and the tiger are probably still out there. β
Yin Yan is also worthy of being a character who controlled the Yin family at a young age, ordinary people face these bizarre and terrible things at first glance, not to mention being afraid, they should panic, although his face is solemn, but he is very calm.
Perhaps, my dad knows more or less about the Yin and Yang world, he may also know some, and even more, in Linxun Mountain, although the final explanation is that dolls and hypnosis, most of which science can do today, but there are also a small number of things that happened during the "fight" later, which are not explained by science, although he didn't ask me directly like Zhang Ying, how could he not doubt it?
He pondered, and then looked at the bathroom door that was squeezed and deformed by the water, and there was water pouring into the room at the bottom and on both sides, and made up his mind: "Then you have to break through to make it, you can't stay here." β
I saw that the bathroom door was almost unbearable, and it was really not a matter to be sealed in this room, so it was better to go out and fight with the hair tiger, if it really didn't work, it would be burned.
I also followed, leaning against the wall next to the door, after glancing at Yin Yan, he slammed the door open, and then hid at the door, stopped for two seconds and there was no movement at the door, we only looked out, the corridor was empty, and the left and right sides were trapped in darkness, I don't know if there was really no movement, or the danger was hidden in the dark, just waiting for us to get out?
Yin Yan walked out first, looked left and right and found nothing, gestured at me with his hand behind him, I pursed my lips, and quietly followed him out.
I don't want to rely on him for protection, I always feel awkward, but this will rush in front of him again, but it seems deliberate, so I will press it down, or get through the level in front of me first.
To the left, you will pass through the door of the lounge, to the right, you will pass the two paintings, and to the right, you will also have access to the stairs, and there is a chance to go up and down, and if you go to the left, you will go to the end of the corridor, which seems to have a balcony, but I suspect that I will not be able to get out.
I told him what I knew, and he chose to go to the right because it was so flexible.
However, when we got to the place where I had seen the two paintings before, they were gone, and in front of us was a large black ball that was faintly moving.
If you look closely, the big black ball is clearly densely clumped up with hair, and the hair strands are intertwined and slid between each other, which is extremely disgusting to look at.
"Someone in the hair?" Yin Yan said uncertainly.
I stared at the serve for a while with nausea, and I could vaguely see a figure, but it seemed to be just a moving strand of hair: "I don't know." β
No one is sure, but this serve is half a man high, blocking the hallway, not letting us go at all, either squeezing past it on either side or jumping over the top of it, and I have a hunch that if I do that, I'll be the first to get entangled.
I took out a dagger and tentatively stabbed it at the serve, but before the tip of the knife touched the serve, the serve had already stretched out the hair and quickly wrapped around my dagger.
I tried to burn it with the fire charm again, but the flames only burned the surface of the serve, not a few hairs, I thought about whether to increase the fire to try, the serve moved, as if someone behind it was manipulating, and dragged it back.
Yin Yan and I glanced at each other, and chased up, chased to the staircase, saw the serve rolling down the stairs, we followed closely downstairs, the stairs from the second floor to the first floor had a corner, and we chased to the corner, and we stopped.
In the living room, where there is only half a staircase left from us, there are actually several serves, each of which is about half a person's height, some are hanging from the ceiling, hanging in the air, some are rolling on the ground, some are placed on the table sofa, and some are glued to the wall.
Again, I didn't think I had a serious phobia of density, but looking at the balls of hair and the dense strands of hair moving on the balls, I felt an itchy throat, as if a strand of hair had entered my mouth, and it was uncomfortable.
"I ...... Why don't we take a reroute upstairs and have a look? "If I were to fight in a pile of hair, it would tickle all over my body.
Yin Yan didn't object, nodded and agreed, but just as we were about to retreat, a serve moved first, not rolling towards us, but the hair at the top of the serve spread out to the side, revealing a hole, and then, a head was dragged out of the hole by the hair, and it was-
"Mom!" I screamed to rush down, but was stopped by Yin Yan.
"Don't be impulsive!"
How could I not be impulsive, that's my mom!
She was now in the ball except for her head, which had just been dragged out, and her eyes were tightly closed, and if it weren't for her pained expression and her mouth moaning from time to time, I would almost have thought she was ...... She's ......
But this is just the beginning, starting from my mother's serve, the other serves also opened one by one, revealing a head, I saw my father, saw the pan halberd, saw the side relatives of the Ban family and friends who had a good relationship with my parents, and even Yin Yan's sister-in-law and Yin Yu were among them, one by one with their eyes closed and did not know whether they were alive or dead.
At this moment, even Yin Yan's eyes were red.
But there is no need to dissuade each other, we dare not rush down easily, because after revealing our relatives' heads, their necks are wrapped around their hairs, and the tips of other hair strands are aimed at the eyes, ears, nose, and nose.
"Who is it!?" I shouted in the air, "Who the hell is it, what do you want to do, you come out, what do you want me to do, you come out and make it clear!" β
My shouts echoed faintly in the house, but after my shouting, it fell silent again, except for my angry gasps and the groans of my relatives on the serve.
I waited quietly, and when I couldn't resist to speak again, I finally heard something else.
The fireplace in the living room suddenly turned "boom", and there was a hidden door inside, which was pushed open, and a woman walked out slowly.
"Ban Zhi!" I gritted my teeth and shouted the woman's name, standing at the corner of the stairs, staring condescendingly at Ban Zhi, who was slowly walking to the middle of the many serves, "It's really you, you're really crazy!" β
Ban Zhi raised his head, and his dead eyes looked at me darkly.
"Ban Zhi," Yin Yan also looked at her sadly, "what do you want?" Here," he said, pointing to my parents' serve, "with your parents, your relatives, raising you as an adult, how can you be so frustrated?" β
Ban Zhi didn't say a word of rebuttal, and her dark eyes only stared at me the whole time.
I don't understand this sister at all, she wanted to destroy me at the beginning, because she said that I would release the demon, and it would kill the relatives around her, and kill Yin Yan, her purpose should be to protect her parents and them, right, but endlessly, she attacked Yin Yan, her parents, brother and even other relatives, isn't this contrary to her original intention?
I clenched the dagger in my hand to stop Yin Yan's reprimanding, delusional words of Ban Zhi's awakening, I tried to calm myself down and asked her, "What do you want me to do?" Want my life? Do you want me to be gone? It's easy to say, you let your parents go, let your brother go, I'll deal with them, how about it? β
Ban Zhi still stared at me silently.
I took a deep breath: "You ......"
When I was about to give her a greater favor to tempt her, she suddenly moved, and threw a long whip at me, which at first glance was only the length of an arm, but when thrown out, it could be stretched very long, and the nine steps from the corner to the living room were not too short, and the tail of the whip was in front of me in the blink of an eye.
I instinctively turned around and dodged, and Yin Yan, who was the first to bear the brunt of the reaction, almost avoided it, and the whip tail hit the wall, immediately leaving a mark on the wall, which showed the power of the whip.
And when we dodged the whip, Ban Zhi had already rushed towards us, and then the ladder exerted force, jumping in front of us, she didn't seem to reason with us, and even obviously captured so many "hostages", she didn't take advantage of it, and directly started fighting us, what did she want?
When I was puzzled, Yin Yan pulled me behind him, and he himself met Ban Zhi, until this time, the skills trained by the heir of his Yin family since childhood were really revealed, and in the face of Ban Zhi, who has "superpowers" possessed by abnormal humans, he also has the ability to fight with him.
I took a few steps back, and watched the two of them who were obviously going to get engaged tonight, fighting in this narrow stairwell, the whip "snapping" in the air, I couldn't intervene if I wanted to help, and it was likely that I would do Yin Yan a disservice.
Looking at the living room below, I took advantage of the gap when Ban Zhi was entangled by Yin Yan, and wanted to sneak past them to save my parents below.
Transformed into a ghost body, I saw the right time to pass by them, and was about to float down, when I heard a relative in the serve scream, and I turned my head to see a man who was my cousin, his neck was tightened by a tuft of hair, and another tuft of hair was piercing through my cousin's mouth and coming out of the back of his head!
The scene was terrifying, and the cousin's screams didn't last long, and he couldn't shout anymore.
I was so frightened that I floated down again, and then another scream rang out, it was some cousin, and she was worse off than my cousin...... I froze, not daring to go down even an inch.
"Useless Xiaolan," Yin Yan and Ban Zhi separated, one of them was stuck on the side of the stairs, Yin Yan covered his chest, there was a blood mark from the whip, his clothes were torn, he glared angrily at Ban Zhi who was facing him in front of him but had a blank face, "Your sister is crazy, she doesn't plan to let anyone go, she wants to kill all of us, she won't let us go, let alone let go of our relatives." β
I looked back at Ban Zhi, and I couldn't see any emotion in her eyes.
"Xiaolan," Yin Yan seemed to have made up his mind, "When it is decided, it will be decided, whether it is for yourself or for our relatives, your sister and her...... Can't stay. β
As he spoke, he took the initiative to rush towards Ban Zhi, Ban Zhi's eyes widened, and he threw a whip without any emotion, whether it was action or moves, it was more aggressive than before, Yin Yan was a person after all, he began to be defeated, and was thrown by Ban Zhi on the platform at the corner of the stairs, the long whip was retracted into the handle, and when it came out again, it became a sword, and the sword was about to stab Yin Yan's chest.
Ban Zhi, like a soulless killing machine, did not pause at the sword in her hand against her former lover.
"Ahh I rushed back to help him, but Yin Yan burst out at this time, allowing the long sword to pass through his chest, then holding down Ban Zhi's hand holding the sword, and then holding her tightly, so that she could not get out of herself.
I froze in amazement, my eyes wide open, my mouth open and I wanted to shout, but my voice was blocked in my throat.
Human, human chest, pierced by a long sword, still, can he still live?
When I hated Yin Yan the most, I didn't think that he would die, I didn't think that he would appear in front of me with blood, and it was my sister who hurt him!
I watched almost numbly.
Yin Yan didn't give me time to accept it, he still grabbed Ban Zhi tightly, and shouted to me with blood in his mouth: "Xiaolan, your sister can't stay, can't stay, hurry, hurry, ......"
What's fast, we all know in our hearts, for the sake of the relatives who are tied up by the serve below, and for the Yin Yan who is still holding on to Ban Zhi who is lying in a pool of blood at this time.
I just felt my eyes hurt terribly, the corners of my eyes twitched, I turned back into a physical entity, my hand shaking with the dagger, and I stepped up the stairs and back to the platform around the corner.
"Xiaolan, ...... quickly I, I can't hold on for long......" Yin Yan hugged Ban Zhi's arm and the green tendons were all bursting, Ban Zhi's hand holding the sword couldn't be withdrawn because of his shackles, so he ran over the wound, Yin Yan was so painful that his face was bloodless, he looked at me with complicated eyes, "Xiaolan, I know that I am responsible for you, everything now is regarded as my debt, from now on, you are fine, don't worry about me...... Come on, come on! β
I walked up behind Ban Zhi and raised my dagger high.
The bright red that flowed from Yin Yan's body to the ground, the painful moans coming from behind him, the demon seed in his heart was growing, and it sprouted silently.
The one who was being held by Yin Yan, completely facing away from me, as if there was no trace of defense, as long as the knife went down, we might be able to get out of this strange space, and the relatives in the serve might be put down, as long as ...... Kill her!
I raised my dagger and stabbed it...... At the critical moment, the white jade in the collar suddenly became hot, my heart trembled, and the dagger turned sharply, cutting Ban Zhi's arm, and then separating Ban Zhi and Yin Yan.
The two fell in two directions, I was lying among them, the whole person was still in a trance, Yin Yan coughed up blood, he didn't blame me for making a mistake at the critical moment, but shouted in panic: "Xiaolan, run!" β
Before I could react, a whip wrapped around me, and with another pull, I fell into Ban Zhi's arms and was grabbed by her.
"Xiaolan!"
In Yin Yan's panic, Ban Zhi hijacked me and quickly went down the stairs to the living room, Yin Yan stood up with a handrail covered in blood, and wanted to chase down with a worried face, Ban Zhi waved his hand, and all the hair on the serve ball was instantly withdrawn, forming a high wall of hair in front of us, blocking Yin Yan who wanted to go downstairs.
The hair of the serve was drained, and the heads fell off one by one, and they were all fake, only one of them had no body at all.
Without waiting for me to take a closer look, Ban Zhi dragged me to the front room.
The banquet hall in the front room was still a mess, and no one had come in for so long, so Ban Zhi led me through the banquet hall, up to the second floor of the front room, hid in a room, opened the closet, stuffed me in, and she hid herself in, and then closed the door of the cabinet.
She seemed to have exhausted all her strength when she had done all this, and I heard her breathing thin, shirred, and felt that she was leaning against one place and not moving.
There was no light in the room outside the cabinet, and the cabinet was naturally so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, except that my ears were more keenly able to hear her sounds, and I didn't know what she looked like at this time.
"You," I tried to speak with difficulty after her wheezing had died down, and the cupboard was so quiet that even the slightest breathing was almost silent, "that youβdon't you have anything to say to me?" β
After waiting a few seconds, I heard her speak: "...... Why didn't you just kill me? β
Me: "......"
She whispered twice and mockedly: "Don't you hate me, I've done so many things to hurt you, and there is such an opportunity in front of you, why don't you kill me?" β
"Because I know," I said firmly, "you will never hurt your parents, let alone your brother." β
She paused, laughed again, and then coughed twice, "Don't you all think I'm crazy?" A madman, what can't be done. β
"Even if you're crazy, you won't!" I am like a child who is stubborn in his own understanding, stubbornly unwilling to change.
But after hearing this, she was silent, I waited for a while and didn't wait for her to speak, I couldn't see anything in the dark, I stretched out my hand to her in a little panic: "Sister, sister......"
My hand was held by her, the temperature of her hand gave me the illusion that it was colder than my body temperature, and it was a little wet, and her voice was hoarse: "It's hard for you to call me sister now." β
Me: "......"
I said sullenly, "Don't you even explain?" β
"Do you believe what I said?"
"If you don't say it, how do you know if I believe it or not?"
I heard a long breath, I don't know if it was my delusion, she seemed to be crying, and when she spoke again, her voice trembled a little: "Ban Lan, Yin Yan...... Yin Yan, he has long been dead! β
At that moment, I felt the stillness of time.
Completely, completely unable to believe what I heard.
I don't know how long it was, maybe a few minutes, maybe just a few seconds, but I heard my sluggish voice: "Yes, is it the same as me?" So, that's alive, right? β
"No...... It's dead, five years ago, five years ago...... Before you were going to go to college, he was already ...... Gone! β
"How is this possible!" I said this very quickly, "Didn't we just see ......"
"That's not Yin Yan," Ban Zhi interrupted my self-deception, "that's ...... The devil who took away Yin Yan's body! Ban Lan, your real fiancΓ©, the relative who grew up with you, your Ah Yan, died five years ago! β
