Ji Xun and the four of them left the blacksmith shop and wandered through the quiet and dark alleys all the way, looking for some clues that might have been overlooked.

The walls, water tanks, or bluestone slabs of these dark alleys occasionally float out of translucent and strangely shaped black ghosts.

[Polluted Singer], [Polluted Stone General], [Polluted Drowning Ghost], [Wandering God in the Night].

The lantern-lit streets are mostly filled with neutral monsters, and those evil spirits hide in the alleys, occasionally jumping out.

At first, they were frightened, but then they got used to it, and the four of them didn't take it seriously at all.

With the influence of Old Man Xu and Ji Xun's aura of "Xia Mucheng Necromantic Affinity +15", even if those evil spirits had the intention of attacking, they seemed to be afraid of something, and they bared their teeth and left in fright.

The four of them went all the way like this.

Accustomed to this ghostly environment, this ancient town from thousands of years ago gives people a sense of tranquility and tranquility.

It seems like I really want to live here for the rest of my life, and it seems like it's not bad.

The four of them were like a walk, wandering aimlessly.

But after walking for half an hour, I didn't have any clue.

As he walked, Che Er finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ji Xun, what are we looking for now?" ”

Now that he has more contact, he also knows that the grandfather in the team is unreliable, and the doctor rarely speaks, only Ji Xun seems to be the backbone.

Ji Xun shrugged: "I don't know." ”

I really don't know.

He really didn't know what he was looking for until he came across the exact clue.

As he spoke, he glanced at the old man Xu beside him again, and said, "Of course, if your grandfather can remember where we went two days ago, then you will know." ”

Caterina glanced at this.

This one is hiding his thighs.

Che Er asked directly, "Grandpa, do you remember what we came here for?" ”

Old man Xu was embarrassed by the high hopes of several people, and while digging out the earwax with grassroots, he said vaguely: "Ah this. How do I feel this everywhere so familiar."

Ji Xun also smiled when he heard this, this old man who didn't have much hope would not drop the chain.

What's more, it's not completely clueless.

He was an undercover agent of the Silvermoon Sect, and no one else knew exactly what was inside this ruin.

But he knows a lot.

The two most important clues known now are that this Xia Mu City was part of the god used to seal the Silver Moon Sect, and there was also a weeping angel stump.

So now as long as you find either of the two clues, you can break the game.

But compared to the clues he was looking for to break the game, Ji Xun was more curious about what this old man was looking for when he came here.

Ji Xun deliberately did not go ahead, and Caterina on the side was also ice and snow smart, and the two walked side by side.

And Che Er was his grandfather's little follower, and he always followed behind.

In this way, the three of them cleverly separated half their bodies and let Old Man Xu lead the way in front.

Although the old man subjectively couldn't remember many things.

But his crisis instinct and luck are very high.

Every line and movement looks unremarkable, but if you understand it carefully, it is like seeing mountains and rivers, which fits the laws of a certain world.

Not to mention that following Old Man Xu will definitely be able to find clues, but at least it is much better and safer than a few people blindly looking for it.

And brain memory can be forgotten.

However, some bodies tend to follow instinct in their memory of behavior.

For example, at an intersection, according to Old Man Xu's temperament, even if he doesn't remember walking through, he will definitely choose the more advantageous one.

The four of them walked all the way through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a wooden bridge.

There are several lush pine trees at the head of the bridge, two big red lanterns hanging on both sides, and the water under the bridge is roaring.

Ji Xun walked over and took a look, there was a small waterfall with a drop of more than ten meters under the bridge.

The cold wind blows the water of the waterfall and makes it wet and moist.

The environment is quiet and aesthetically pleasing.

Caterina also stood on the edge of the guardrail, her eyebrows blinking slightly, a trace of confusion in her crystal eyes, mixed with a wisp of depth, and muttered, "It feels so good." ”

Ji Xun chuckled: "Oh? ”

Caterina was like a canary released into the mountains for the first time, and there was an indescribable joy in her heart: "I have a feeling that if I can't get out, it would be good to be buried in the breeze and drizzle." ”

Ji Xun listened and laughed without saying a word.

The young lady of the big aristocratic family always has some bells and whistles.

However, this originally poetic feeling was suddenly shattered.

After walking on the bridge, Old Man Xu looked east and west, and when he heard the conversation between the two just now, he suddenly seemed to remember something, "Huh"

This surprise immediately attracted the attention of Ji Xun and the others.

Old man Xu really remembered something, he looked at Caterina and said in an uncertain tone: "Ah, I remember that this girl of yours is really dead." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly froze.

Caterina was also stunned: "I'm dead? ”

Ji Xun thought about it for a while, and also felt that the amount of information in these words was not small.

If Carter died, it should have happened in the last flashback?

So what happened to make her die?

Is there any danger here?

However, Old Man Xu's words made the expressions of the three of them stiffen in unison.

He struggled to remember something, and said, "yes." It was Ji Xun's own hand to kill. ”

Ji Xun: "."

Car two: "."

Katerina: "."

The corners of the three people's eyes twitched.

But the eyes of several people also fell on Ji Xun.

Old man Xu said that what happened, it should have happened.

Ji Xun also asked in surprise: "Why did I kill her?" ”

Old man Xu's memory was obviously unreliable, and he muttered, "Where do I know? Or maybe the two of them quarreled. ”

This is pure speculation.

Ji Xun was also speechless when he heard it, not to mention the nonsense relationship, and complained: "If you quarrel, you won't kill anyone, right?" ”

Caterina's eyes flickered, but she fell into deep thought.

She didn't think that Ji Xun would kill herself for no reason, but it seemed that because time would go back, death would become less frightening.

She turned her head and looked at Ji Xun at the corner of her mouth, the corners of her mouth raised an arc, and she was also curious: "Your Excellency Ji Xun, I'm also curious, why do you want to kill me?" ”

Ji Xun shrugged.

I didn't want to dwell on such a clueless question.

On the contrary, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, as if some memory had been touched because of this question.

It's an amazing feeling.

It was as if he had experienced the same scene at a certain moment in time and space, and everything had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Ji Xun immediately realized something: "Yes, it's 'time affinity'!" ”

He looked at the "Time Affinity +18" attribute on his stats panel, and suddenly realized that it might be the entry that was working.

The time regression realm in this secret realm and the accelerated time realm on the train are also a kind of "low-latitude time".

Everything here is influenced by the realm of time.

Ji Xunxin said: "It's not an absolute rollback!" Because of my comprehension of the laws of time, some of the memories of retrospection have not been completely erased! ”

Old man Xu looked at Ji Xun, whose expression suddenly changed, and guessed what he had found, and Qi Qi cast his eyes.

But the feeling of reproducing that memory was fleeting, and Ji Xun's brows suddenly furrowed.

If you can't catch it, then look for it.

Make an impression of the environment.

He suddenly jumped off the bridge.

The wolf's claws in his hands protruded, and he climbed rapidly on the rock wall.

Because of the sense of déjà vu that just came to my mind, as if there was something important nearby.

Several people on the bridge saw what Ji Xun was looking for, and Caterina also jumped down, followed by Che Er

Old man Xu shrank back as always.

The old arms and legs didn't dare to jump off the bridge, so they lay there and shouted: "Ouch, be careful." ”

Ji Xun looked around the rock wall and didn't see anything.

Obviously, Che Er's luck was better, and it didn't take long for him to shout: "Mr. Ji Xun, come and see!" ”

Ji Xun hurriedly walked over.

A few people met under the waterfall, only to find that there was a very inconspicuous small stone statue in a very inconspicuous place behind the water.

What's even more amazing is that when you look at it, the stone statue is surrounded by arcane marks and arcane chain prohibitions, but it seems to be one with the surrounding rock wall. This makes the statue seem to have some kind of magic, and people can't remember seeing the stone statue and ignore its existence.

"Huh"

Ji Xun was shocked in his heart.

This feeling is not new to him.

Even when I was looking at the fifty-two demon mystical methods on the copper plate before, I felt the same way.

The only explanation is that the level of the law of this stone statue is too high to know, and the brain cannot remember such "indescribable" things.

Seeing this, Caterina and Che Er were also happy on their faces.

They all know that they may have found the key clues.

Ji Xun looked at this magical statue, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered: "I don't know how much time it took to find such a clue in such a big Xia Mu City last time." ”

The stone statue is so special, it is only one day, and it is really impossible to find it.

This time, it was able to be so fast, and it was completely dependent on the humanoid navigation of Old Man Xu.

But after staring at it carefully for a long time, the three of them didn't see the reason at all.

They all have such a stone sculpture in their visual senses, but when they want to describe it to others, they seem to have completely forgotten what they see.

Can't even communicate.

As he was talking, Old Man Xu also slowly climbed down with a rope, "What did you find?" ”

Ji Xun knew that the role of this old man was coming again, so he asked, "Senior, look at it, what's special here?" ”

Old man Xu also saw the statue at first sight, and was amazed: "Ouch, this is an old object from ancient times." There are also remnants of divine power. ”

Ji Xun and the others listened with serious expressions.

With this opening, they knew that the statue was extraordinary.

On the contrary, without waiting for this shock to appear in his eyes, Old Man Xu's tone suddenly changed, becoming very strange, and turned his head to look at Ji Xun: "Ji Xun boy, you. You just wrote on it? ”

Ji Xun had a question mark on his face: "??? ”

Old man Xu directly read out the sentence: "Miss Carter, I'm glad you are alive." Gee. When you read this, I promised you what I promised, but I did it. Isn't that interesting? ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly froze.

The only sound in my ears was the sound of a waterfall.

Several of them looked stunned as if they had seen a ghost.

Even Ji Xun is the same.

As soon as he heard this tone, he knew that this word was really left by him!

But why did you write this?

Katarina, as the person concerned, had a more strange expression, and reminded: "Your Excellency Ji Xun, it seems that you really killed me last time?" ”

Ji Xun also thinks it should be.

The literal meaning of this passage is that he promised her something, and then left a pen as evidence?

As soon as this passage was read, a strong sense of banter came to my face.

Ji Xun could even see a scene: he was carving this line with a sly smile on his face.

The entire Xia Mu City will go back in time, but the words on this stone carving remain.

I knew with my toes that there was something wrong with this stone carving.

But that's just one line.

There are no other clues.

Caterina didn't bother with why she was killed last time, and asked in a very strange tone, "But. Why don't you carve some useful clues? ”

Hearing this, Ji Xun shook his head with a wry smile: "It's actually engraved." ”

Katerina's eyes were full of doubts: "Huh? ”

Ji Xun said: "The clue is. I can't even carve words on that stone carving with my current abilities. There is only one explanation, and that is that I have cracked the secret of going back in time. But I chose to stop at the last step and go back in time. The biggest possible thing is."

Katerina: "To go back and bring me back to life?" ”

Ji Xun nodded: "Hmm." ”

Katerina's eyes flashed: This guy really cares about my life and death, so he gives up the opportunity to leave this secret realm?

Ji Xun knows his character very well, and obviously feels that the focus is not on who it is, but on the "promise".

But he didn't explain, and added: "Maybe it's not just you, but Che Er. Or maybe there's something else in this secret realm that hasn't been explored. ”

As for Old Man Xu, he felt that the three of them were dead, and this old man would definitely not die.

Caterina didn't seem to understand, and said, "But why don't you leave a more direct clue?" ”

"Because."

Ji Xun is really hard to answer.

Although he has no memory at all, after all, he carved it himself, and he can fully figure out his mentality at that time.

He can't say that it's the challenge he left for himself, right?

In the same situation,

Ordinary people will definitely leave clues for themselves.

But Ji Xun knows very well that people know that he won't.

This time trip back to the realm was one of the most magical challenges he'd ever had.

What's more, depending on the situation, it was already cleared last time.

If he could experience such an unattainable pleasure again, even if it was possible to die, he would experience it again.

Or maybe you want to unlock a higher difficulty?

Probably.

Caterina looked at his expression, seemed to guess something, and said it for him: "Is it because you were sure in your heart that you could break the game last time, and you will definitely be able to do it this time?" ”

“.”

Ji Xun smiled noncommittally.

It's a bit weird to have an atmosphere when you say that.

Just like in front of him, three pairs of resentful eyes looked at him in unison: Why don't you leave some clues?

But there is a high probability that this is the case.

Last time there was no engraving, he was able to break the game.

With so many favorable conditions this time, it is not impossible.

Caterina looked at his expression and thought she understood, but when she thought about the context of that sentence, she seemed to see a deep contempt for death.

She found that she couldn't understand it more and more, and said to herself: "It's really a complicated guy."

Ji Xun, who had always thought he knew, was calm and calm, but now his outlook has suddenly changed.

This guy still has such a crazy side in his heart.

Old man Xu obviously didn't think as much as Katarina, and he didn't have the girl's heart to think about a big man's thoughts.

He leaned on the statue and looked around, and at this moment, he suddenly said, "Hey, there is a groove behind this stone statue." ”

The eyes of Ji Xun and the three of them were also attracted by these words, but they couldn't get close to the moon-like stone statue in the water, and they couldn't see it.

Old man Xu rubbed the groove behind the stone carving.

Che Er said in surprise: "Isn't this the [Copper Snake] pattern that the conductor gave when I got off the train before?" ”

The pattern printed out is concave, and it happens that the [Copper Snake] can be inlaid into it.

It looks like a key and a lock.

But in fact, it must be an extremely high-grade ancient seal.

Seeing this, Ji Xun and the others instantly understood.

Unfortunately, the pattern is a circular pattern of a tailed snake with its head and tail attached.

And they only have one bronze serpent in their hands.

"So we're going to find another Bronze Serpent now?"

"Hmm."

"Strange, what's under this seal?"

"Most likely, it's the remnants of the Weeping Angel."

"Ahh

Old man Xu and Che Er have both seen the Weeping Angel.

And the angel feather was obtained from the Lionheart family, and Caterina may not be unaware.

Ji Xun has nothing to hide.

However, Katerina's focus was clearly something else, and she asked again, "I'm still curious, why did you kill me?" ”

Although he was resurrected back, that is, that guy was not trying to kill himself with hostility.

And he also used his life, gambling that after a backtrack, he could be resurrected.

This feeling is very special for an eldest lady who has lived in a top aristocratic family since childhood.

Ji Xun smiled, and he really couldn't answer.

However, I didn't have to think about it, and at this moment, there was a strange situation in Xia Mu City.

Not far away, on the originally dark hillside, like a mirage, suddenly an outrageous wooden building appeared out of thin air.

The wooden building is nearly 100 meters high, carved beams and painted buildings, dazzling.

Through the window paper, you can see the shadows in the building, as if there are countless figures coming and going, and it is very lively.

Although the architectural style is the same as the wooden building in Xia Mucheng, this height is too exaggerated, right?

Looking at this wooden building that suddenly appeared, Ji Xun and the four of them immediately realized what they were going to do next.

Ji Xun and the four of them soon came to the wooden building not far away.

Far away, I saw a group of people busy in front of the building, as if a large formation had been arranged.

Caterina recognized the people at a glance, and the tree was surprised, "Those guys are here too?" ”

The leader is none other than her cousin Kak, and Bai Wei of the Bai family.

Ji Xun's eyes also narrowed slightly, and said, "It seems that I came here by other means." ”

A few of them had come by ghost train before.

But the eerie realm of time on the train is not something that anyone can pass through alive.

At least not something that can be done by such a large army in front of us.

The only possibility is that those people have some other method in their hands.

Caterina also frowned slightly, and said in a serious tone: "Since the woman is here, I should have been discovered." ”

It was the first time Ji Xun had heard Caterina use such a rude word as "that woman", and it seemed that the two had a lot of grudges.

But I didn't think it hurt to be discovered.

In this secret realm, there are more calamities than people, and those guys may not be able to get benefits.

As soon as the words fell, as Caterina expected, at this moment, there was a giggling sound in the ears of the four people: "Yo, Carter's sister is also here?" ”

As he spoke, the light distorted not far away, and a woman in a small white dress condensed into a figure.

Ji Xun's pupils also flickered slightly when he saw this way of appearance, and he didn't understand how she appeared?

As Caterina said, the people of the Bai family are mysterious and strong.
