Sister Xiaoyan looked at us in confusion, her eyes wide open. "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word? ”

Only then did I realize that I had forgotten the existence of Sister Xiaoyan in a hurry with Yuge, and now I don't know how to explain these monsters to her, so I can only say vaguely. "It's nothing, we're just talking."

"Izumi!" Yu Ge suddenly stood up and interrupted me. "We don't need to hide it from her anymore, she'll find out sooner or later."

"Sister Xiaoyan, I'll tell you one thing now, whether you believe it or not, it's the truth." Yu Ge cleared his throat and said to Xiao Yan seriously. "In addition to humans, there are all kinds of demons and monsters in this world, and they all live around you in disguise as humans. Can you accept this? ”

Xiao Yan nodded in surprise. "I know this, I often see it in mythology books."

"No, I mean the real world, not the novels you read,"

Xiaoyan smiled bitterly. "The real world? Sister, don't be kidding, I know you're trying to lighten the mood and amuse me, but it's really not necessary. ”

"I'm not kidding, your husband was really captured by a youkai." Yu Ge patiently explained to Xiao Yan. "Look at these pictures are vixens."

"Sister, if I really can't find him, I'll go to the police, don't coax me in this way of deceiving children, okay? Even if you say that it's okay for her to cheat and cheat, but I really can't accept this weird answer! Xiaoyan became crying and laughing.

I saw that Xiaoyan still didn't want to believe this fact, and I also helped Yuge persuade her. "Xiaoyan, what she said is true. Gao Yuan was really captured by the vixen this time, and I guess it's useless even if I call the police. ”

Xiaoyan shook her head frantically, and tears flowed down her cheeks again, perhaps she thought we were perfunctory to her. "I don't listen to your nonsense, whether it's a person or a ghost, I just want my husband to come back."

Yu Ge hurriedly hugged Xiao Yan in his arms. "Sister, don't worry, we will definitely help you find your husband, but you must listen to us next, don't act rashly."

Xiaoyan wiped her tears and said in a choked voice. "I listen to you. I...... Listen to you. ”

In fact, comfort is comfort, but what to do next, Yu Ge and I have no clue, even if we know that it is the plateau that Hu Tao captured, what can we do? Where do we go to find walnuts? Maybe she has already left Shouguang, the world is so big that looking for her is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

As time passed, I realized that hope became more and more slim, and hope was like quicksand, losing every moment.

"Don't you know where that walnut lives?" Yu Ge said suddenly. "You also said you sent her home twice."

"It's a bachelor apartment on Bohai Road, but I don't think it's very likely that she's still there."

Yu Ge shook his head. "Not necessarily, maybe she won't think that anyone can know her true identity, so she will stay in the city, pretending not to know anything, so as to clear herself of suspicion. You think that if we really have to call the police, the police will definitely investigate Hu Tao as a suspect, and if she runs away directly, then this suspicion will be confirmed. ”

Her analysis is indeed quite reasonable, and there is no way not to approve of it. "Okay, then let's go to Bohai Road again and see if we can find Hu Tao by chance."

Looking out the window, the sky was getting darker, and the sparse street lights on the road were lit up one after another, and it seemed that the last time I went to send Hu Tao home was in such an evening, and this time was no exception.

The three of us walked down the stairs, and by this time the building was empty, and the employees had long since gone, leaving only the sound of the three of us breathing and footsteps echoing in the hallway. There is nothing unusual in the hallway, and there is still a faint smell of perfume.

I sensed a clue that I had been ignoring for a long time.

The momentary excitement made me shudder and gasp a few breaths of cold air.

Damn, how did I forget about this, the fragrance of peach blossoms is exactly the same as that of walnuts.

"Izumi! What happened to you? "Yu Ge saw that I was trembling all over, and hurriedly grabbed me." Have you thought of a clue that we have forgotten? ”

"Come with me." I pulled the two of them and hurried to the first floor. "I want to think of a place."

I thought of the long-abandoned warehouse at the bottom of the stairs, and I wanted to open it last time to find out, but I stopped when it was locked. I can confirm that the source of this rich peach blossom fragrance is there, and I have a hunch that it is unreasonable but worthy of my verification: Gao Yuan should be imprisoned there.

The iron door of the warehouse was still locked, and the smell became more pungent the closer you got.

Xiaoyan clutched her stomach and gasped. "It turned out to be this place, this warehouse was abandoned a long time ago, nothing special."

"I thought it was strange at first, but Gao Yuan didn't care about it and didn't dig deeper, and now I think about Hu Tao and then think about this warehouse, it's really strange."

Yu Ge twisted the doorknob hard, and the rust like slag fell to the ground.

"It seems that this door can't be opened." Yu Ge kept trying, but still couldn't unscrew the doorknob. "This door is sealed by mana."

Feather Song began to gather strength, chanting a spell in her mouth, and many feathers shook out of her body, squeezing spiritually into the cracks of the iron door. The feathers accumulated more and more, and the entire iron gate was completely covered with pure white feathers in a short time.

When Xiaoyan saw this scene, she cried out. "Here's what's going on. Oh, my God! ”

"Open!" Yu Ge shouted angrily, and the entire iron door was overturned to the ground, making a violent noise.

It didn't matter if I opened the door, the aroma swept in instantly, like a huge wave falling heavily on our faces, and it was obvious that the concentration of the peach blossom aroma in this room had reached an immeasurable level, so that I almost lost myself in this strong aroma. I only felt dizzy, a wave of nausea in my abdomen, and my hands and feet were stiff and couldn't move.

"How much mana does it take for this vixen to create such a large concentration of aroma." Yu Ge asked me puzzled. "What the hell is she going to do?"

Not only did I not be able to bear the aroma, but Xiaoyan was also dizzy, and she was pregnant, so she was sweating profusely at this time, trembling and holding on to the handrail of the stairs.

"Let's wait a little longer before we go in, this concentration is too much for me to resist." Yu Ge covered his nose and stood outside the door.

It took half an hour for the aroma to be diluted to a level that we could accept.

"Sister Xiaoyan, you just stay outside this time, although the fragrance has faded a lot, it will still cause some damage to pregnant women." Yu Ge said.

This time, Xiaoyan did not object, she was already a little physically exhausted at the end of this day, even if she was willing, her body could not withstand the call.

There was no light in the warehouse, it was pitch black, and Yu Ge and I turned on the flashlights on our phones and walked in cautiously. The design of this warehouse is indeed as Gao Yuan said, the design is extremely unreasonable, and the roof is only 1.5 meters high, and you need to hunch your waist to walk in.

Walking into this small warehouse, Yuge and I couldn't help but exclaim.

"This ...... What does this mean? I couldn't help but ask.

In front of our eyes, there is a thick peach petals, these peach petals are still delicate as if they have just fallen, and they can step on the juice when they step on them.

"Oh my God! Where can you find so many peach blossoms in autumn this October? I asked.

Yu Ge said to himself. "These peach blossoms are all made with fox spirit spells, and being able to create so many identical peach blossoms shows that her Taoism is already very deep.

We walked in little by little, and found that in the innermost part of the warehouse, next to the white wall, there were three hills of peach blossoms.

These three hills caught our attention, and I walked over with Yu Ge and took a closer look at them with the repeated illumination of the lights.

What does this mean? Is it a formation? I asked uneasily.

"Actually, I don't understand, I don't know as much about your Central Plains culture as you do, but in my experience." Yu Ge shook his head. "It's more like a memorial, like a tomb for you humans to use."

As soon as Yu Ge talked about the grave, I was scared into a cold sweat, and in this dim light, these peach blossom piles really looked like lonely graves.

"Let's see what's in there." Before Yu Ge finished speaking, he was about to kick away the peach blossom pile at the front with his foot.

"Wait." I grabbed Yuge at once. "It's better to be careful, there may be some traps here."

"Okay, let's stay away." Yu Ge took two steps back. "I'll use a spell to push this peach blossom pile away, and if something strange happens, let's run away."

Yu Ge cast her little spell again, she stretched out her hands and aimed at the first peach blossom pile in front of her, and the feather flew over like a sharp sword, hitting the peach blossom pile hard. The soft peach blossom pile was suddenly disrupted, and the petals were scattered on the ground.

"What's that!" I saw that there seemed to be a sculpture-like solid at the bottom of the peach blossom pile.

Curiosity kills, so I stepped forward and used my phone to search for the unidentified object.

"Ahh I screamed heartbreakingly, and for a moment I felt that my whole center of gravity was out of balance, and I collapsed to the ground, and my phone fell to the ground, and the screen was shattered.

"Izumi! What is it? Yu Ge asked anxiously.

"Dry ...... Dry ......" my mouth seemed to suddenly stop listening and began to stutter.

"Dry?"

"! …… Mummy! ”
