Chapter 24 Peach Blossom Debt (8) It depends on what you want to sell
In fact, this room is almost the same as the previous one, and from the layout of the room, you can see the owner's character, monotonous decoration, cold utensils, Gu Changze will definitely not be as gentle and elegant as it seems on the surface.
Judging from the clues obtained, he is ruthless, good at disguise, and is likely to be a person who does not stop until he reaches his goal, otherwise it is impossible to raise a ghost with a few lives.
And the performance just now also shows that he is very suspicious, and even now he may not have completely let down his guard.
Su Yi's eyes skimmed over the exquisite jade, came to the front of the dresser, and stretched out his hand to pull-
The drawers are full of jade!
She looked at the other drawers, all of which were all small accessories made of various jade.
It's weird.
Even if Li Yening likes it, but this is not his home, why are there so many of these things?
Su Yi picked up a jade Buddha, and as soon as she touched it, she felt a surge of warmth, and her whole body was comfortable, just like the one Gu Changze gave her.
Warm jade?
Su Yi frowned suspiciously, and compared the previous jade pendant with this one.
...... She suddenly had a strange thought.
Su Yi opened the door, found a random way to walk, and then "accidentally" dropped the jade pendant on the ground when a maid passed by.
The maid immediately stopped her and took the jade pendant with both hands.
"Miss Li, your jade pendant has fallen!"
Su Yi thanked him, and then pretended to ask casually: "This is the warm jade that Brother Ze gave me, thanks to you, fortunately I didn't lose it!" β
"Nuan Yu? So why is this cold? The maid looked at the jade pendant in surprise.
Su Yi immediately knew in his heart, and changed the topic without leaving a trace: "By the way, do you know how to go to the kitchen?" I want to check it out! β
The maid immediately put this doubt behind her: "You will see it if you keep walking." β
"Okay, thank you."
Su Yi smiled and watched the maid leave.
- I see.
The bits and pieces of information are connected by an invisible thread, all pointing to one place.
Maybe you can verify it today.
Su Yi suddenly felt a chill behind her, and immediately turned her head, and saw a person standing not far away, looking at her with a smile.
If nothing else.

In the dim secret room, the outside light could not penetrate at all, only a small oil lamp was lit, and the fire on it was faint enough to illuminate the entire secret room, but the glimpse of a corner was terrifying.
Several bodies had visibly had blood drawn and were piled up in a shriveled pile, and they were all missing hearts.
The wound on it was hideous, as if it had been pulled out by the claws of a rough beast, so that in this dull air, there was a strong smell of blood and carrion wafting all the time, as if this was the storage room of corpses.
Occasionally, rats scurried by, then made a sound of gnawing at flesh.
In the corner, there was a blood-stained iron cage in which a man sit.
His posture was relaxed, but when he looked closely, he was already scarred, and his clothes were soaked with blood in many places.
His left hand was half severed, and the part peeking out of the remaining half of the tattered sleeve seemed to be bandaged.
It is said to be relaxed, but in fact, it is more about less air intake and more air out.
He rested for a while, and when his head was slightly clear, he raised his right hand, which still had some strength, but also a little finger was broken on it, but as if he didn't see it, he took out a card from his bosom with difficulty.
Then, for some reason, the card vanished, leaving only a few points of light.
He breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes again, and continued to regain his energy.
On the other side, in the huge room, Su Yi was staring at the person in front of him.
"Fauber, why can't I go out?"
She tilted her head curiously.
Fauber's small eyes moved and grinned, but it inexplicably made people's backs tighten.
"Recently, there have been thieves entering the house, and for the safety of Miss Li, someone must follow you when you leave the room."
Culprits? Is it a player?
Su Yi blinked, and a trace of fear and worry appeared on his face: "So Brother Ze has been busy with this matter recently?" β
Fauber was unapologetic.
She sneered in her heart, and then sweetly agreed: "Okay, if you want to go out, I'll call someone!" β
Not going out at all - that's still impossible.
But what did he mean by that?
It's less like a threat, more like a warning.
This is the second time.
Su Yi watched Fu Bo go out and close the door, his face became solemn.
She had guessed that something was going to be the same, but she was restricted from moving, and it was a little tricky.
Just when Su Yi was thinking hard, a person knocked on the door.
"Li Yening, open the door."
Su Yi felt that this voice was a little familiar, so he opened the door and found that it was Li Chaoyang.
Su Yi quietly hid the doubts in his heart: "What's wrong?" β
Li Chaoyang raised his lips and smiled brightly: "It's too boring to stay in the room all day, go!" I'll take you somewhere! β
Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he nodded without any burden in his heart: "Okay." β
As soon as I dozed off, a pillow came to the door.
Li Chaoyang drove away the subordinates, so Su Yi followed him to a somewhat desolate courtyard.
He turned his head to look at the innocent girl who was following behind him, a hint of complexity flashed in his eyes, and then he stopped under a tree.
"What's wrong?"
Su Yi followed his gaze to the tree.
On it, a blood-red jade pendant hangs, looming in the emerald green branches and leaves swaying in the wind, faintly shining.
Seeing that she also found out, Li Chaoyang smiled: "Don't you like jade, I see that the color of this jade is not bad, wait for me to take it down and show it to you!" β
Su Yi smiled and nodded, his round apricot eyes shining: "Okay, okay!" β
Look what you're selling!
Li Chaoyang climbed up the tree in twos and threes, and this hand made Su Yi slightly surprised.
It was the first time she had seen someone who climbed a tree so well.
Li Chaoyang reached out to take it, but was embarrassed to find that he couldn't reach it.
"What, Li Yening, find me a stick!"
Su Yi immediately cooperated with him: "Where to find it?" β
Li Chaoyang relied on himself to stand tall, so he looked around: "There doesn't seem to be around, you go into the yard and take a look!" β
"Good!"
Su Yi nodded obediently and ran over.
As she turned to leave, the man's smile behind her faded.
Su Yi ignored the gaze of the person behind him.
She just wanted to see what the NPC was up to.
The yard is desolate.
Overgrown with weeds, even some as tall as calves. There was a tall tree in the courtyard, as thick as three people hugging each other, and its roots clung to the dirt.
Su Yi looked around and didn't find any sticks, so he walked into the nearest room.
Inside was a large wooden table, rotten to the point of decay, rotten bowls, dirty candlesticks, and next to it was a bed, dusty everywhere.
It's strange that there is such a yard here.
Su Yi looked around and didn't find anything strange.
Just as she was about to leave, she stumbled upon a strange placeβno dust, or rather, too little dust to fit in.
Su Yi walked over and lifted the mat on the bed, revealing the black bed board.
She continued to touch inch by inch, and felt something at the head of the bed that was not too smooth, and subconsciously pressed it down, and then the whole bed board leaned down against the wall, opening a place for an adult to pass through.
Secret passages?
Su Yi bent down cautiously, and then groped for the inner wall and shrunk in.
Just when her body completely entered this secret passage, the bed board on her head suddenly closed, and then Su Yi only felt that her feet slipped, and the whole person slipped like this.
οΌ
Worst!
The secret passage was not very long, and soon Su Yi's feet touched the ground.
After standing firmly, Su Yi found that it was extremely dark underneath, as if he was blind.
γLight & Eyesγ
The air was filled with a faint smell of dust and blood, and there was no light, only a dead silence.
It's so quiet that it's frightening.
The moment Su Yi saw it, he simply glanced around, his heart suddenly shrank, but he tried his best to keep his expression unchanged.
οΌοΌοΌ
This is not a basement where things are stored, but a cell divided into cells!
There was a person locked up in each cell, and Su Yi quickly counted it, and found that except for the players who had died, almost all the other players were here!
Although they appeared to be alive, they were almost dead.
Everyone had more or less scars on their bodies, the worst of which was a broken hand, the blood looked like it was running dry, and the ground was covered with dirty blood.
And the female player he had met before was lying quietly on the ground, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.
What's going on? How did you get caught all of them?
There seemed to be movement in the darkness, like the sound of shoes rubbing against the dirt.
Listen closely, and the faint sound of breathing is negligible.
A figure gradually approached, and soon arrived in front of the girl who was standing in place.
She seemed frightened, and asked tremblingly, "Is there anyone?" β
The man stood in front of her, and then leaned very closely, his tone was a little puzzled, but his eyes were full of excitement and impatience: "Ye Ning, why are you here?" β
It's like I've grabbed a handle.
If there is light here, the girl will surely find out who is in front of her, this is clearly a ghost with an elongated neck, a festering face, bloodshot eyes, and a hideous face!
But she relaxed suddenly, and there was a trace of water in her black eyes, like a poor little beast, and even her speech was a few degrees softer than usual.
"It's not Li Chaoyang's bastard! He told me to find a stick to knock down the jade pendant from the tree, and then I thought the bed board inside could be removed, and then I didn't know why I fell down. β
"Where is this? What is the basement? But I didn't mean to break in, the plank was too fragile......"
"Brother Ze, can you take me out, it's so dark here......"
"By the way, why don't you light the lamp? It's so dark here, I can't even see the road, Brother Ze, can you see it? β
There was nothing wrong with the girl, and her tone was extremely dependent.
Not far away, the eyes of the people in the cage completely dimmed.
It turned out to be just an NPC that strayed in.
Feeling the weakness brought about by the passage of blood, Zhou Yan felt that this game was tricky.
The NPCs of this quest are too sensitive to outsiders, and they will be immediately suspicious of them as soon as they do something that doesn't fit their character.
He finally got a message and found this place, but he was knocked unconscious and locked up.
The NPCs drugged them, and they lost the strength to speak.
Not so long ago, they were taken from their hearts and then could only lie here weakly.
Around him, the players were unconscious.
Zhou Yan closed his eyes, feeling a little anxious for a while.
In the darkness, the monster reached over, and the cold touch made Su Yi's body stiffen for a moment.
The next second, she was pulled forward by it.
There was a strange smell wafting through his nose, and Su Yi was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask.
After taking a few steps, it suddenly exclaimed: "There is a puddle of water here, be careful of slippery." β
Su Yi's footsteps didn't stop, but as soon as he stepped into the sticky water, he subconsciously slowed down.
Because she couldn't see the road, she seemed to be extremely nervous, so she pleaded coquettishly: "Brother Ze, go slowly, I'm afraid ......"
Hearing this, the figure in front of him lowered his steps a little and held the girl's hand tighter.
