Chapter 112: The Invisible Living
Before dinner, Su Mu went downstairs with a fire talisman gun on his waist, first checked the first floor of the west building, and then walked to the courtyard, and after glancing at Ah Mo, who was always guarding the door of the inner courtyard, he looked at the sealing spirit stone.
Ah Mo was stroking her spirit skull lantern with her hand, ignoring Su Mu at all, and Su Mu saw that she didn't stop herself, so she walked towards the other buildings. It seems to be hanging out, but in fact, I want to see who the other three people I sensed? Why is the smell so strange?
Because after Su Mu entered the inner courtyard of the Peach Blossom Garden, he sensed that there were a total of ten people here, that is to say, in addition to the seven of them, there were three other people here, but those three people were definitely not the three little girls he had seen before, or the guy who had talked to Ah Mo.
The breath of the three people fluctuates high and low, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and normal people will not have this kind of breath.
Su Mu followed the aura of the three to the corridor on the second floor of the South Building, but found that the corridor was empty.
Su Mu pulled out the fire talisman gun and subconsciously looked above the beams, but it was empty, and he could only look at the corridor again, because he clearly sensed that the breath of the three people was less than a foot and a half in front of him.
"What the hell are you doing?" Tang Xiaohao, who suddenly appeared, startled Su Mu.
Su Mu looked at Tang Xiaohao: "When did you come?" ”
Tang Xiaohao said: "As soon as I saw you coming to the South Building, I was curious to come over and have a look." ”
It's not that Su Mu can't sense Tang Xiaohao's breath, but in his subconscious, he has already trusted Tang Xiaohao, so he won't see Tang Xiaohao as a threat, so he doesn't care about his breath.
Su Mu pointed at the fire talisman gun in his hand not far away and said, "There are three people there." ”
Tang Xiaohao looked at the empty front, and then looked at Su Mu: "When did you become blind?" ”
Su Mu said angrily: "I don't use it to see, but to sense people's breath, I obviously sensed that there were three people standing there." ”
Tang Xiaohao knew that Su Mu was the kind of person who wouldn't joke, but he really didn't see anyone. Although he understood what Su Mu meant by breath sensing, it meant nothing to him.
Just when Tang Xiaohao was about to say something, Su Mu suddenly said: "There is one who is coming towards us, he ......" Su Mu was stunned when he said this, then looked at Tang Xiaohao, and then skipped Tang Xiaohao to look at the bottom of the stairs, "He walked directly through us and went downstairs." ”
Tang Xiaohao looked at Su Mu suspiciously, as if he was crazy.
Su Mu looked at the corridor again: "The other two entered the guest rooms on both sides. ”
When Tang Xiaohao heard this, he immediately stepped forward to check, he looked at the one on the left, and Su Mu was responsible for checking the one on the right, but the room was empty, and there was no one.
Just when Tang Xiaohao was about to open the cabinet to check, Su Mu raised his hand and pointed to the bed and said, "That person is lying on the bed, his breath is weakening, he should be resting and sleeping." ”
Tang Xiaohao walked to Su Mu's side, looked at the bed and said, "It can't be an undead, right?" ”
Su Mu shook his head: "Only the living have breath, if I can sense the undead, when we are in Xinzheng County, we will not be deceived into that inn." ”
Tang Xiaohao couldn't help but shudder when he saw Su Mu being so serious: "It's time to eat, don't think about it." ”
Although Su Mu was full of doubts, he could only return to the West Building with Tang Xiaohao at this point.
When they went back, Little Bell, Bao Meng, Gilda, and Yueyan were already sitting down at the table, and the guys from Peach Blossom Land were serving exquisite dishes to the table.
The relationship between Little Bell and Bao Meng is obviously much better than before, talking in a low voice, but it can be seen that Little Bell's face is still ugly, and from time to time he still looks at the sealing spirit stone outside.
After the incident at the Spirit Skull Inn in Xinzheng County, Ah Mo knew that the little bell was by no means an ordinary person, and she herself felt that the spirit stone was a little strange, so she stopped a few guys who served the dishes and asked if anyone had touched the stone? The answer was no.
During the meal, Gerda kept raising his eyes to look at Ah Mao, and he wanted to know when he could leave Liangcheng? But Ah Mo did not answer him, and he did not want to deal with him, so Childa had to give up.
Although Su Mu was eating, he was still looking towards the position where he sensed the breath of the three people, and when he was about to finish eating, Su Mu was suddenly stunned, and looked up directly at the door, just looking at it directly.
Tang Xiaohao asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at?" ”
Su Mu came back to his senses and replied in a low voice: "There is a person standing at the door, and the breath is there, but I just can't see it." ”
Ah Mo thought that Su Mu was also looking at the spirit sealing stone, so he asked, "What happened to that stone?" Why do you all care so much? ”
Su Mu didn't pay attention to Ah Mo, and Tang Xiaohao just said: "It's not a stone, a gust of wind blew in just now, didn't you feel it?" ”
Tang Xiaohao casually said nonsense, but the little bell looked at him and asked, "Do you also feel that wind?" ”
"Huh?" Tang Xiaohao was stunned, so he had to nod, "Yes, I feel it, so I and Zhongguan Su took a look." ”
Ah Mo pretended to ask casually: "What wind?" ”
The little bell didn't answer Ah Mao, and Yueyan ate by herself, guessing in her heart what role she was playing in this mission? Is it because I knew Tang Xiaohao before?
Although everyone has their own hearts and minds about this meal, Bao Meng seems to have recovered his state, and he has eaten significantly more than before, and his huge amount of food has surprised Ah Mao, Yueyan and Little Bell, who are also girls, and Childa thinks they are making a fuss, because according to the amount of food of the Rouyuan people, Bao Meng can only be regarded as normal.
After the meal, when the men came to clean up the table, Ah Mo got up and said to everyone: "Although Liangcheng is very lively at night, because of the arrival of King Xi in Liangcheng, the city is very strict, and we will cause unnecessary trouble when we go out, so please stay in your room." ”
Ah Mao's words have multiple meanings, and everyone understands them, in short, they are not allowed to leave here, and at the same time, Ah Mo also explained that everyone here is in the same boat.
Everyone had to go back to the room to rest, Tang Xiaohao looked at Su Mu's puzzled appearance, and comforted: "It's okay, we can all pick up a life from so many resentful spirits in the Dead Village, let alone in Liangcheng." After that, Tang Xiaohao said in a low voice, "This is a stronghold of the lone army, Ah Mo and Yueyan are both lone soldiers, understand?" ”
Su Mu's face changed suddenly when he heard this, of course he knew what kind of organization the lone army was, but he didn't expect that the lone army would cooperate with the Tors Department? Because heretics will never interfere in the affairs of the imperial court.
Tang Xiaohao said again: "I know what you're thinking, but now I can't figure it out if I want to break my head, sleep, I haven't slept well for a few days." ”
Su Mu had to nod, and stood there watching Tang Xiaohao go back to the room and close the door, and then he returned to the room, while Cherda, who was in the next room, was sitting on the ground sleeping against the door, his task was to protect Princess Baomeng, in case something happened, he could rush out as soon as possible.
It's just that what happened next was completely beyond everyone's understanding.
After Tang Xiaohao returned to the room, he found that Bao Meng and Little Bell were just sitting on the edge of the bed, and they didn't speak, just looking at themselves directly.
Tang Xiaohao yawned and said, "I sleep on the ground, and you two sleep on the bed, okay?" Hurry up and go to sleep, I'm so tired, I feel like I'm sleeping until I'm old. ”
Little Bell and Bao Meng were indeed struggling with how to sleep, but seeing that Tang Xiaohao said so, they didn't bother anymore, and the three of them didn't take off their shirts, they slept directly with their clothes, although they were uncomfortable, but they could only settle, after all, the relationship between the three was too delicate.
Although he slept on the floor, because of his excessive fatigue these days, Tang Xiaohao fell asleep quickly, and felt unusually warm. Bao Meng on the bed also felt the same way, only the little bell became hotter and hotter the more he slept, and although he fell asleep in the end, he was always in a state of confusion that was half asleep and half awake.
Sleeping until midnight, Tang Xiaohao, who had a dry mouth, got up and walked towards the table, wanting to pour some water to drink, but when he touched the table, he was stunned, because he touched the dust on his hands.
Because he didn't light a candle, Tang Xiaohao couldn't see clearly, so he had to take out the fire fold he had with him and light it.
When the fire fold was lit, Tang Xiaohao, who was still in a daze, was directly frightened to wake up, because he saw that the table in front of him was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were handprints left by himself before on the edge.
Tang Xiaohao subconsciously reached out and touched it again, making sure that it was dust, and then looked at the stool next to him, which was also full of dust, and this dust was obviously accumulated over the years, and it was definitely not artificially sprinkled.
Tang Xiaohao immediately lit the candle, held the candle and looked at the position of the bed, and saw that the bed where Bao Meng and Little Bell slept had also become dilapidated, as if it had been destroyed by hundreds of years.
"Wake up!" Tang Xiaohao immediately stepped forward to shake the two awake.
The little bell was the first to wake up, and subconsciously pulled out the female sword, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw clearly that it was Tang Xiaohao: "What's wrong?" ”
Bao Meng also woke up, rubbed his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
Tang Xiaohao held the candle and said, "Don't be afraid of ...... you two."
Before Tang Xiaohao finished speaking, Little Bell and Bao Meng saw the changes in the room clearly by candlelight, and suddenly woke up in fright, and got up directly from the bed.
Baoneng looked around: "This, what's going on?" ”
The little bell thought it was his hallucination, and reached out to touch the head of the bed: "What's the matter?" ”
Tang Xiaohao shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”
Little Bell and Bao Meng followed Tang Xiaohao, who was holding a candle, out of the guest room, and came to the corridor to take a look, and found that although the corridor was still the same as before, it was also covered with dust, as if they had slept for hundreds of years.
Tang Xiaohao walked to the door of Su Mu's room, stretched out his hand to push the door, who knew that with a force, the door of Su Mu's room fell directly, smashing on the floor of the room and falling to pieces, startling the three of them.
Tang Xiaohao held the candle again and looked at it, and found that the room was empty, and Su Mu was gone.
Little Bell asked in surprise: "What about Lieutenant Su?" Where is he? ”
Tang Xiaohao was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly went to the next room to find Gelda, but Gelda was not in the room, and the three of them hurried downstairs again, who knew that because they walked too quickly and the steps were too heavy, they directly stepped on the stairs, and the three of them fell directly from the broken stairs.
After the three of them crawled out of a pile of broken wood, they began to call out for Ah Mo and Yueyan, but no one responded, and after checking the room again, they found that there was no one in the guest room on the first floor.
Just when Little Bell and Tang Xiaohao looked at each other and shook their heads, looking puzzled, Bao Meng, who was standing not far away, raised his hand and pointed to the door, as if he had found something.
