It's too dark...... It's too dark around here, too.

Qi Zhuyue hugged her arms and rubbed them up and down, trying to warm herself.

It's so cold in this cave, especially with the wet dampness, that people can't help but shiver.

She...... She seems to be ...... It seems that he has just broken away from the state of a doppelganger?

Although Bai Su said few words and walked forward on her own, with Qi Zhuyue's unremitting efforts, she still inquired a little.

For example, Bai Su came in and bumped into her doppelganger, and after the doppelganger, he ran away with the items she was carrying? Then there is Wen Rongxuan...... Wen Rongxuan, who didn't know if he could be called a human, came out and slipped around twice.

Qi Zhuyue felt a headache when she thought of the name Wen Rongxuan, or the impact that the other party brought to her before she fell into a coma was too great, and her highly inspired nature made her easy to fall into some panicked scenes.

No, I can't think about it anymore.

Qi Zhuyue rubbed her hair and forcibly pulled her thoughts back.

Doppelganger...... Bai Su said that he saw her doppelganger.

Wait, so how did she wake up? Doesn't it mean that the doppelganger will always be asleep? Is she special? …… Ahhh

Qi Zhuyue couldn't imagine where she was picked up and how she was woken up.

Now she is empty-handed, with no lighting and no communication equipment...... It is estimated that they were all taken away by the doppelganger, but who gave it to the doppelganger? …… I can't think about it at all.

Digging deeper, the human woman finds that what she knows is too fragmentary, and she can't spell out the cause and effect of it.

She instinctively ...... Bai Su knew the whole thing, but Bai Su just talked a little bit and left her here.

Qi Zhuyue sighed, rubbed her arms twice, and began to move herself in a small area.

She didn't feel like there was any danger here, but ...... But you have to be careful.

The dim environment lasted for a while, and suddenly from a certain moment, the lights lit up on both sides.

The light suddenly caught the human feminine in getting used to it, and she covered her eyes for a while, blinking twice to wipe away the sour tears.

Looking further to the sides, a cord running from the front lit the oil lamp on the wall.

The structure was a little peculiar, but Qi Zhuyue didn't have time to look at it, the moment the light came on, she was attracted by the things on the cave walls.

Mural? No, it's not up to the level of the mural.

The drawing skills of the match villain, which was as rough as a child's drawing, briefly drew a few scenes that he couldn't understand at all, and Qi Zhuyue could barely distinguish a few scenes that were similar to the scenes of the sacrifice, as for the others...... She can only comment on the painting, please don't paint anymore.

It may be that the person who drew the drawing knew that his level was limited, so he began to add words next to the picture, which is also a bit difficult to describe, without any maintenance measures, weathered a little, and the already scribbled handwriting is even more illegible.

But fortunately, he could barely read it, Qi Zhuyue took a closer look and tried to understand.

"Sacrifice...... Sacrifice of the living...... It first started in ...... Wen——" When she read the name, Qi Zhuyue suddenly stopped.

For no reason, her head began to itch.

She seems to remember this name, it should be in the memory of "Wen Tao".

Be...... Yes, it seems to be Wen Tao's childhood playmate, or the one that Gao Tianyi dreamed of in his dreams.

At that time, "Wen Tao" couldn't think of it, and the people in the village didn't mention it, but now they can know the answer.

- was sacrificed.

The first time Wenjia Village tried human sacrifice, it was Wen Tao's playmate when he was young, if you want to ask why...... He offended ...... "Wen Tao"?

The same name appears on both sides to confuse the human woman, and she looks back and realizes that she is not mistaken.

It is the "warm peach" that is sacrificed, and the one who offends is also the "warm peach".

However, isn't she "Wen Tao"?

Qi Zhuyue felt that she had been asleep for too long and missed the key plot.

Behind the walls, all bloody descriptions of sacrifices, densely packed with names representing how many people died here, Qi Zhu counted the months, and found that the nearest date was a year ago.

...... a year ago October 10th?

Qi Zhuyue thought about it, and it was October 7th when they entered Wenjia Village.

Do you want to go to the ...... Do you want to go and find Bai Su?

The human feminine's perspective shifted to the side, and just as she began to struggle, a piercing shrill howl was heard at the end of the passage.

Thin and immature, it sounds like a child's voice.

Child, a little girl in Wenjia Village.

The two were immediately equated in his mind, and as soon as Qi Zhuyue's body turned, he wanted to run in the direction where the voice came from.

After running for less than two steps, the speed of the person slowed down again.

She...... Should I lean in?

……

Hmm—what do humans say?

The villain died from talking too much?

However, he is not a villain present, and "Wen Tao" is not a villain, and the village chief himself, who really looks like he took the villain script, is probably still making nonsense outside.

Bai Su declined "Wen Tao"'s self-recommendation.

Food must have a food positioning, if "Wen Tao" is just a human being, he may think twice, after all, human beings can indirectly provide him with some food to some extent.

After being politely rejected, the little girl saw that the conversation had collapsed, and she no longer restrained herself.

It is contrary to the purpose of Baisu, and the identities of the two have completely become the relationship between predator and prey.

After a few screams in quick succession, something crawled out of the arcs of the four walls around the entrance of the cave.

The head of the fish, the body of the man, was as wet as if it had just burst out of the egg, and they fell to the ground and then slowly got up, their dead eyes rolling around, and finally towards the white squirt.

Somewhat familiar styling.

The man with the fish's head was naked, and when he stepped on the slippery slime, he shook it and stretched out its sharp fins and swung it down.

Bai Su stepped back, but there were also fishmen quietly approaching behind him, and they swarmed up with a silent roar accompanied by bubbles.

The black-haired young man felt in the way after a few concessions, so he had to reach out and pick up the one closest to him.

But Bai Su's grip is too strong, or it may be that the bones of the newborn fish-man are too brittle, and with a click, the fish-man opens his mouth wide in pain.

"Whew-" It made a painful sound that it had detached from the fish, and the fish's head twitched twice, and it rolled its eyes like a human.

…… Like people.

Discerning what was wrong, the black-haired youth then threw the fish-man out like a ball, knocking down a group of fish-men as he threw his hands back, clawing the attacker behind him.

Then with a flick of his wrist, he slammed the attacker from behind him to the ground, and after a muffled sound, he stepped on it.

Bai Su licked his gums, and the tip of his tongue flashed between his lips.

No, the monster thought, these fish-men are ...... at all To put it bluntly, it's still human, and it's not palatable at all.

Not even interested in opening his mouth to bite down and taste it, the monster's eyes looked back.

Really...... Still have to go to the coffin—ah, now I have to find the little girl.

At the end of the line of sight, at the edge of the coffin, a little girl who was not much taller than the coffin was turning out of the coffin, and with the support of the two fishmen, she was holding the bones that were held together by it in her arms.

The girl felt Bai Su's gaze and turned her head, grinned fiercely, and jumped down again, to run out of the cave.

You can't let the food run away.

A steady stream of fish-people climbed up from all around and on the ground, some of their heads completely turned into fish heads, and some of their faces still had traces of their faces, as if they had not evolved completely.

If someone from Wenjia Village is here, maybe they can shout out one or two names that have not completely turned into fish faces, but unfortunately none of the people present have a deep understanding of Wenjia Village.

The little girl rushed to the only exit and ran forward, and all the fishmen were driven by it to block the road.

However, it is not very useful.

In the face of the disparity of power, all resistance is futile.

The black-haired young man's hand hanging down at his side suddenly turned into a ball of swollen cotton wool, hanging all the way to the ground, and the moment it was touched, it was like a mold that had absorbed nutrients, and in the blink of an eye, it was all over the body of the fish-man.

The black-haired young man still seemed to feel that this speed was slow, and his unchanged hand waved forward, raising a few eyeballs, and the wriggling white floc spread out into a mist and rushed forward frantically.

Both flocculent and misty white approached the little girl's back in a whirlwind, and when they were about to touch it, the first eyeball stopped.

What he observed, what he perceived.

Immediately afterward, the white and white mist of the fungus blanket faded like a tide, and in a short time, the traces of the cave were hidden.

The black-haired young man smacked his tongue and stepped across the ugly merfolk lying on the ground.

He walked out.

……

Qi Zhuyue stopped after walking two steps.

She pricked up her ears and listened to the movement inside.

The sound of someone talking, the sound of objects colliding...... There was also the movement of something slippery and greasy brushing the ground.

No matter how much Qi Zhuyue couldn't hear clearly, she had to retract her ears and turn her back and walk out.

As soon as she walked a distance, a series of hurried footsteps sounded behind her, and she didn't have time to dodge, and the popping movement approached her.

Then a somewhat heavy weight fell on her leg.

"Sister!" The crisp girl's voice sounded, with some crying, "Sister...... Sister...... Sister Wen Tao woo woo woo. ”

Qi Zhuyue's body froze suddenly.

A warm and cold touch came from behind the legs.

WarmthShe can understand that human body temperature carries temperature.

So, what's the cold one?

Without waiting for Qi Zhuyue to think about it, the cry of the girl behind her changed tone, she cried and said that she was so scared, she said that someone was going to eat her, and she also said that the black-haired big brother had become so scary.

He ...... His hands move. "Stumbling, the cold touch is detaching," the big brunette brother's hand spread...... Like a lot of lines...... White, white, they're all moving......"

Qi Zhuyue didn't quite understand what the little girl was talking about, but she imagined it, and felt that it was a very down-to-earth scene.

Brunette Big Brother ...... Referring to Bai Su, right?

Qi Zhuyue exhaled twice: "Warm, warm? She remembered that the little girl in Wenjia Village should have been called that.

The girl replied sullenly, and then Qi Zhuyue asked the girl to let go of a little force, and she turned around.

The devil knows how a little girl could be so vigorous, even if she was scared, it was a little ......

The girl let go of the hand holding Qi Zhuyue's legs, and turned to tug at the corners of her hanging clothes, and the human female twitched twice inaudibly, but did not pull out.

When Qi Zhuyue turned around, she could see the little girl's face clearly through the lights on both sides.

The girl's face was crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and her mouth was so pouting that she could hang an oil bottle.

Her clothes were a little messy, the sleeves and skirt were rubbed with dark brown stains from nowhere, which was very eye-catching, and if you looked closely, there was still slime behind the heels that had not completely dried.

But, none of this is the most remarkable.

Qi Zhuyue lowered her gaze, and she saw that the little girl was holding a handful of clothes in her hand, judging from the size and style of the clothes, she should be wearing a wind-blocking coat.

Now, the coat was taken off and rolled up in his arms.

…… It's not just a group.

Qi Zhuyue's eyelashes trembled, and she saw the strange edges and corners that were not very obvious in the folds of the fabric, which were the arcs that could only be held up by hard objects.

For no reason, she thought of the cold touch just now.

After the girl came face to face with her, the crying on her face reappeared, and her nose twitched, trying to grab the hem of Qi Zhuyue's clothes and climb up, or pull the adult to squat.

Qi Zhuyue felt her neckline tighten for a while, and she could only lean down slightly because she couldn't get rid of it.

As soon as she lowered down, the girl went one step further and grabbed her cuffs from the hem of Qi Zhuyue's clothes.

"Just ...... Something terrible has just happened. ”

Half-pushed, Qi Zhuyue was grabbed there by a force that came from in front of her, listening to the little girl complain about what had just happened in the cave in front of her.

A little in order to conform to the tone and logic of the child's speech, the girl's speech speed is very fast, and there are occasional contradictions in the words she says, but Qi Zhuyue can roughly piece together the meaning that the girl wants to express.

She wanted to say...... She wanted to say that the brunette youth was a monster.

Baisu ...... Is it a monster?

Qi Zhuyue raised her hand twice in a daze, she couldn't do it, but she still had to say, "Then do we have to run out first?" Wouldn't it be nice to stay here — "dangerous?"

"I can't run away." The girl was unusual, and grabbed Qi Zhuyue's wrist tightly, "He, he's so terrible, we can't run away." ”

The girl's gaze looked over Qi Zhuyue's shoulder to look at the deep passage behind her, and it seemed to stay on Qi Zhuyue's neck, not knowing what to see.

Little girl: "That big brother is coming after me." ”

Qi Zhuyue: "So—"

The human woman's voice stopped abruptly, and she saw someone coming directly in front of her.

The black-haired youth walked slowly, with one hand in his pocket, and his casual appearance was incompatible with the atmosphere of this space.

He saw Qi Zhuyue and raised his hand to say hello.

"Hey."

"It's a big brother who can eat people!"

The little girl grabbed Bai Dao, she half turned around, wrapped around Qi Zhuyue's arm with one hand, put the folded clothes in it, and pointed to Bai Su with the other hand.

There is a sense that the wicked will sue first.

However, what the little girl said was also true.

The hand that had just said hello was put down, and the black-haired young man tilted his head and looked at Qi Zhuyue.

He seems to be asking, who do you believe?
