225. Can I step on it?
"Then I wish you a triumphant return."
The afterglow of dusk has already hit, and the traces of two crescents can be faintly seen on the horizon.
Buck's Bookstore was also closing, and business was average for the day, as the customers noticed that the figures they had seen so often were missing.
Only Gustav and Georgie were on the outside, sometimes looking out.
This disappointed many guests with other thoughts, and even many guests who were just reading books felt that something was missing and that they were lacking in interest.
When Lillian saw the sky outside, she knew it was time for her to leave.
She'd been at Buck's Book for a long time, and she had a party to attend in the evening.
Stretching her waist and sitting up from the sofa, Lilian looked at Nie Yuan and teased: "There are still many people waiting for you in Wangcheng, in addition to Buck and me." ”
Nie Yuan ignored her sultry eyes and said, "Let's go, don't grind, I've seen Edwin and them a few times, I hope that when I come back, I can already be above board, call you, my duke." ”
Lilian had long been accustomed to Nie Yuan's attitude, and she didn't feel anything, and said: "Everything that concerns me, I will naturally be more concerned than anyone else, it depends on whether the Mandate of Heaven is on my side, and it also depends on whether you are on my side." ”
Nie Yuan knew what she meant.
That's what Lillian is relying on now, in addition to the relationship she has earned for herself, and more importantly, how much effort the mysterious sect is willing to do for her.
And a large part of the attitude of the occult sect comes from Lilian's use value.
Or rather, it's the value of Nie Yuan, Lilian's subordinate.
In addition, being able to stay left and right with Prince Lawrence also has a great relationship with Nie Yuan, a key person.
At least a lot of imps, if they think so, they can be used by Lilian.
Although it is not very obvious in front of people, the name Nie Yuan already has a certain weight in the highest circles.
Even Nie Yuan himself felt that it was just a coincidence.
But that's exactly what happened.
Lilian's best choice is only through Nie Yuan to pursue her seemingly impossible ambitions.
"I'll give you an opinion."
Nie Yuan thought for a while, and suddenly said, "If necessary, you can try to contact Mrs. Manda, and say that I asked you to go." ”
"Huh?!"
Lilian was stunned for a moment, then looked puzzled and said, "You won't ...... You still have a leg with her, right? Lawrence: Good for this? It's not like that. ”
Nie Yuan looked at her and said, "Unfortunately, Lawrence is definitely not good at this, so if you don't handle it well, you may capsize, so I told you to do this when necessary." ”
"When is the necessary time?"
"Judge for yourself and proceed with caution."
"Okay."
Lillian smiled, "Since you said it, then I must have taken it to heart." ”
After that, he looked around at everyone and said, "Then that's all for today, goodbye everyone, and besides, remember to help me say goodbye to my dear Miranda." ”
After Lillian left, everyone chatted casually a few more times, and then prepared to close the door.
When the sign was hung up, there were only five people left in the living room.
Qiao Qi went up to handle dinner for everyone, but Miranda never showed up.
Dennis didn't see her when she came, and neither did Lilian.
And everyone just perfunctory, saying that Miranda was sleeping for beauty sleep.
Lillian didn't believe it, of course, but didn't ask too much.
It wasn't until she left that everyone heard a faint languid and comfortable moan in the hallway.
"You should be waking up soon, right?"
Little Mr. Gustav said, "Why don't you go in and have a look?" ”
"Nancy isn't going."
When the little girl heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "When Nancy peeked last night, she was still very disgusting and sticky everywhere. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and of course they knew what the little girl was talking about.
After all, Miranda's second awakening is known to everyone.
And Nancy happened to live next door to Miranda, and according to the character of the little girl, she couldn't hold back last night and wanted to take a peek, of course, it was reasonable.
However, during this period, Miranda basically did not make a sound by herself, only some strange noises that were difficult to describe, sometimes like a swarm marching with a swarm, sometimes like Nie Yuan boiling thick alchemy, making a gurgling sound, and sometimes like a few lumps of flesh and blood squeezing and rubbing against each other.
And in a flash, it comes and goes.
It was different from the one just now, which obviously belonged to Miranda's own groan.
"I'll go."
Nie Yuan stood up and walked straight to the corridor.
After all, she chose Miranda to awaken first, and she was also the main force of this mission.
There were only a few hours left before the agreed departure time with Dennis, and in the middle of the night, the carriage arranged by the United Church would arrive.
Now it's necessary to see what Miranda's situation really is.
In the corridor, it was pitch black, Nie Yuan tried to turn on the light bulb, but the line didn't know what the reason was, as if it was out of order, first flashing and then going out, and there was no longer any reaction.
However, Nie Yuan's eyesight is very good, and the dark environment can't stop him.
It's just that the corridor that I didn't see for a day seems to have changed its appearance and has become extremely old.
It's not really in disrepair, it's that in many places, something like plaque has grown, making the whole corridor look like it's moldy.
And these plaques are also keenly moved like mimosas because of the entry of outsiders.
Every time Nie Yuan took a step forward, the surrounding plaques were frightened, and he quickly gathered the swaying mycelium, leaving only a huge trace like an oil stain on the wall or in the crevice.
However, after Nie Yuan walked by, the converging plaques behind him bloomed again, describing the Bobbit worm as having discovered its prey, and suddenly opened its ugly mouthparts.
As I walked deeper, the surrounding plaque became more and more.
As far as Nancy's door arrived, she could see a compact stack of plaque spreading out of Miranda's room, spreading in all directions.
Fill the ceiling, walls, and floors with a breeding ground for flesh and blood.
But this is much stranger than the scene that Mrs. Auston bred at the beginning.
Because Mrs. Auston's flesh and blood realm is just plain disgusting, terrifying and uncomfortable.
And these hotbeds of fungus in all directions seem to have life, not only can they sense the entry of outsiders, but they can even vaguely see that in the cracks of the mycelium, there seem to be dense, needle-sized eyes, watching Nie Yuan's every move.
The mycelium that the worm spits out like a worm is swaying constantly, adding a strange touch to people.
"Miranda? Are you there? ”
Nie Yuan wasn't too afraid, but he felt helpless, and said, "Is this thing your body, can I step on it?" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the existence of the fungus blanket in front of him.
