CHAPTER XV

“…… Help me, save me......"

Half-asleep and half-awake, Zhou Rui always felt that something was dragging him and asking him for help. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Rui's spirit gradually spread along that connection, and finally found its owner at the end of it.

"Ellie? How so? "Ellie in front of her is like a broken doll, nailed to the slate.

Her wrists, ankles, and chest were pierced by nails, and black blood solidified on them, and it looked as if she had been nailed here for a long time.

"Help me, please help me." Ellie's eyes were blank, as if she was completely unconscious, and she only knew that she was muttering these words.

"Damn, who the hell did that?" Zhou Rui stepped forward to remove the nail and treat Ellie. But his hand had gone through the nail and he couldn't reach it.

Zhou Rui looked at his hand in a daze, why is his hand translucent? He remembered, he had never left the room, but his spirit had come here following the cry for help. In other words, Zhou Rui is out of body.

"Ellie, you wait, I'll come and save you right away." Zhou Rui reined in his spirit after saying to Ellie, at this time, he felt as if there was a gravitational pull behind him, and in an instant, his consciousness returned to his body again.

Zhou Rui was not excited to learn the new skill of out-of-body experience, at this time his heart was full of anxiety, he put on his shoes and rushed out of the door, but accidentally bumped into a person.

"Ah, Zhou Rui, did I wake you up?" Ellie was wearing her pajamas, unaware of her youthful slight.

"Are you Ellie?" Zhou Rui was a little puzzled, was he dreaming just now?

"yes, what's wrong with you? Hit your head? Ellie crawled over and touched Zhou Rui's head, "Are you okay?" ”

"I ...... I had a very strange dream. Zhou Rui replied dumbfoundedly.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to have nightmares, do you want to drink a glass of wine from my treasure? Every time I can't sleep, I have a drink, and then I can fall asleep beautifully. Ellie got up and stretched out her hand to Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui didn't pay attention to her, but asked very bluntly: "Ellie, do you have something to hide from me about this castle?" ”

"W-no? Why do you ask that? Ellie's expression was a little strange, as if she couldn't say anything, and it was clear that she was lying.

"I'm tired, let's go to sleep first." Zhou Rui returned to the room and closed the door again.

Ellie stopped talking, she stayed in front of the door for a long time, and finally left reluctantly.

Zhou Rui actually hasn't slept all the time, he knows that Ellie is outside the door, but he can't figure it out, if Ellie really has a problem, then why hasn't she been exposed at all when he has been in contact with her for so long? Zhou Rui himself is proficient in psychology, and he knows the most about human micro-expressions and something, many people think they are good at deception, but they will still show their feet in front of Zhou Rui. But in Ellie, Zhou Rui really can't see a little hostility.

In order to understand the doubts in Happy, what Zhou Rui needs to do now is to find the Ellie who is nailed to the wall. He sat cross-legged on the bed and entered the ocean of consciousness, at this time, a golden human figure was above this pitch-black sea, it was Zhou Rui's consciousness body, which could also be said to be his soul.

Zhou Rui's whole body was immersed in his consciousness, and then he imagined opening a door and flying upward. Easily, his consciousness detached from his body and appeared in the room like a free bird. It was a wonderful experience to look at his body in the sky, but Zhou Rui didn't look too much, but flew out of the window.

At this time, he only had a subtle impression of the previous route of spiritual spread, the direction was roughly east, and the location should be underground. He began to search carefully along the east side of the castle. After searching for a long time, a well finally caught his attention. He still had a slight impression of this well, as if he had been here before.

Although the wellhead had been sealed with a broken wooden plank, Zhou Rui was a spiritual body, and he effortlessly rushed through the broken wooden plank towards the bottom of the well. The answer to everything should lie at the bottom of this well.

However, there was nothing here, only mossy rocks remained at the bottom of the well, and there was no sign of life. Not to mention Ellie, who is nailed, can't even see a single bug.

After leaving the waste well, Zhou Rui searched for this area for a long time but didn't find it, until Zhou Rui felt that his body was summoning consciousness, and it seemed that it had been out for too long. Zhou Rui had no choice but to return to his body.

As soon as he returned to his body, all kinds of sensations emerged again, and Zhou Rui felt as if he had stayed up for three days and three nights without sleeping, so he tilted his head and fell asleep until the third pole of the sun.

"Zhou Rui, Zhou Rui ......"

Zhou Rui slowly opened his eyes, only to see Ellie looking at him with concern.

"Are you alright?" Ellie asked.

"It's fine." Zhou Rui got up, but his mind was dizzy, and he fell on the pillow again, "It's strange...... How do I feel so tired? ”

"Did you use any spell yesterday, it seems to have consumed a lot of mental power."

"It's really ...... to say that" Zhou Rui secretly scolded himself all his life, what can he do, can't he just check it with his physical body.

"Don't move, rest well, let me take care of you today." Ellie said softly.

"No, I'm not sick, just meditate." Zhou Rui insisted on getting up.

"If your mental power is exhausted, it will take several days to recover, so you have to be obedient, be good." Ellie held him down.

"Hey, okay......" Zhou Rui reluctantly lay down again.

"Goo~" At this time, Zhou Rui's stomach screamed.

"I'll get you something to eat." Ellie hurried to the kitchen.

How could such a girl be a bad person? Zhou Rui couldn't help but doubt his judgment again.

Soon, Ellie walked in with a plate of steak, she held the plate in one hand and the knife in the other hand carefully chopped the steak into pieces, and fed it to Zhou Rui piece by piece.

"Ah~"

"I can eat it myself." Zhou Rui couldn't laugh or cry.

"Ah~" Ellie glared at him.

Zhou Rui was helpless, so he had to open his mouth.

"By the way, tonight is the night of the full moon, I will practice in the room, and I may not be able to take care of you then." Ellie said.

"It just so happens that I also want to try my cultivation on the night of the full moon, so I'll go to the garden below when the time comes." Zhou Rui said.

"Your mental power hasn't recovered yet, so you may not be able to absorb it." Ellie was a little worried.

"It's okay, I'm measured."

"Alright then, I'll help you over, but before that, you have a good rest, and I'll call you then."

"Thank you very much." Watching Ellie leave, Zhou Rui had a complicated look in his eyes.
