Qi Yan bowed slightly to Miss Yuzi: "Then I won't disturb your rest, thank you for your hospitality tonight." ”

Miss Yuko didn't say much, and waved at him.

So, Qi Yan took the little gray cat and exited Miss Yuzi's room.

It was eleven o'clock at night, and it was the busiest time of the Yu House, and the crimson promenade was filled with the sound of greasy moanings.

When passing by the wandering girls, the other party's laughter and teasing fell on Qi Yan's ears.

Qi Yan hugged the cat without squinting and walked straight to the attic.

This trip to Miss Yuzi's appointment, Qi Ji has very important information:

First, Miss Ikuko is different from Rossetti and Mr. Lord in "Rosefish", she seems to have retained a relatively complete memory of that guy's character, in order to avoid the collapse of the copy or serious bugs, in this layer of dungeon space-time, the system explicitly forbade him to take off his face in front of Miss Yuko;

Second, only those who have drunk the "blood brew" can go to the atrium to watch the night cherry blossoms on a moonlit night, and when Miss Ikuko was still the little maid next to the previous generation of Oiran, she secretly drank the blood brew, so she can enter and leave the atrium freely;

Third, the guy's long knife is kept in Miss Yuko's boudoir, which is likely to be an important plot prop;

While clearing the information point, Qi Yan opened the paper door of the attic.

The moment he entered the house, Qi Yan was stunned for a moment.

Before leaving, he did not close the north window in order to keep the air circulating, and at this moment, the pale and bright moonlight leaked into the room and shone brightly on the tatami mats under the panes.

The clouds dispersed in the night sky, and the moonlight shone into the atrium.

Qi Yan walked quickly to the window and looked, and for a moment, he even forgot to breathe-

The cherry blossoms, which used to be as white as fine snow, are now dyed blood-red by the moonlight.

The scarlet flowers of the demon scarlet swayed in the wind, bustling and hanging from the branches, like clusters of dancing and burning fire in the pale moonlight.

Chapter 56: 404 Hot Spring Street (26)

The night breeze blows, and at first glance, the cherry blossom petals that fall on the tatami mats look like drops of blood.

The scenery of the blood cherry blossoms flying outside the window was too treacherous and gorgeous, and Qi Zhen was shocked for a long time.

It wasn't until the little gray cat rubbed against his face that Qi Yan came back to his senses a little.

At this time, the ghost fire bamboo lamp in the house was crackling, indicating that the blood cherry blossoms dyed red in the moonlight themselves were very evil.

In a flash of thought, Qi Zhen clicked on the new item in the inventory "Blessing of the Missing Employee of Yunoyu"——

[Item Description: An auxiliary prop, condensed from the regret of the missing handyman in Yu's Soup, which can make the invisible resentful spirits in the vicinity appear in their bodies, so as to help the user attack more accurately]

[Do you confirm the use of "Blessings of Missing Employees in Yunoyu"?] Yes / No]

Qi Zhen nodded "yes" without hesitation, it seems to be just an ordinary auxiliary prop, but when used in different scenes, the purpose is different.

In an instant, the light like a stream of fireflies dispersed from the attic to the blood cherry blossoms outside the window, and the wind in the courtyard gradually sounded, and the blood cherry blossoms fell from the branches, and even the moonlight seemed to be blown and shaken.

Originally, there were only scorching blood cherry blossom branches, but countless hanging bloody corpses suddenly appeared.

The corpses bore countless bite marks on their necks, as well as a deep wound that looked like a sharp blade.

The blackened blood stains condensed around the wound, and the air roots that spread down from the branches of the bloody cherry trees wrapped around the corpse's neck, so that the bloody corpses hung on the branches of the red cherry blossoms and swayed in the wind like dolls on a sunny day.

The moonlight cast the shaky shadows of the corpses on the red walls of the building opposite, and the painful sobs continued to spread in the whistling night wind.

The spirits of these victims were trapped in the cherry blossom trees, swaying in the wind on countless moonlit and pale nights, unable to be freed.

The little gray cat lay in Qi Yan's arms, looking at the wonders in the courtyard with a curious gaze, and let out a low cry.

Qi Zhen kissed its soft head: "Don't be afraid. ”

"Meow meow~" The little gray cat living here seems to be the first time to see such a spectacle.

Obviously, judging from their wounds and deaths, these spirits swaying in the wind like sunny dolls are all ghosts of Miss Ikuko's knife.

Qi has reasonable suspicion that the missing bodies are buried under the cherry blossom trees in the atrium of the Yuzhiya.

After all, "burying the dead under the cherry blossom tree" is a widely circulated strange story.

Moreover, the cherry tree in the atrium, which turns red after bathing in the moonlight, is obviously not an ordinary cherry tree, maybe it is a demon tree that can absorb and dissolve corpses, which explains why these spirits are entangled and suspended from the branches by air roots.

What would happen if these spirits entangled in cherry trees were forcibly brought down?

Rather than speculating ambiguously, Qi Yan is more willing to take the initiative to do an experiment.

He exchanged a "Throwing Knife that can track a designated target" from the inventory inventory, which is a one-time attack item from the newcomer's first battle package, because it is a low-level item, the damage to the target is very low, and if it is used as an attack, it is very cheap, and it is much more cost-effective to use it in other aspects.

Qi Ji fixed the target on the nearest spirit, and the flying knife quickly turned into an afterimage, throwing it at the air root wrapped around the spirit body's neck, and the blade that locked onto the tracking target repeatedly cut the air root that fell from the branch, and the hanging spirit shook even more.

But a strange thing happened, the air root that didn't look tough kept cutting, and finally the time limit of the flying knife was exhausted, but the air root hanging the corpse was not damaged at all.

What the hell is going on?

Qi Ji looked thoughtfully at the blood cherry blossom outside the window, the spirit body hung on the branches like the fruit of the cherry tree, and the cherry tree absorbed the resentment of the spirit and bloomed into a flourishing blood cherry tree...... Could it be that the demon tree and the spirit body have merged and infiltrated each other, and special props are needed to cut and separate them?

If the corpse buried under the tree generates resentment, and the resentment becomes the fruit of the cherry tree, then the cause and effect must be cut off in order to release the resentment of the spirit......

Perhaps, he needed a special knife.

For example, the chic knife behind Miss Yuko's screen.

Because Miss Yuko just mentioned that it was a knife that needed to drink blood to maintain its gorgeous luster, and she probably used that knife to cut the victim's neck, then this knife became a "murder weapon" and a "cause" for these spirits to generate resentment.

To cut the connection between the spirit and the cherry tree, it is likely necessary to use the knife that bears the "cause and effect".

The truth of the plot of the dungeon gradually emerges.

"Meow Meow~"

The little gray cat rubbed in Qi Jiu's arms, and Qi Jiu exchanged for a box of small dried fish: "I've worked hard for you today, little guy." ”

"Meow!" The little gray cat's eyes lit up, and she buried her head in the can and ate it.

Qi Yan squatted beside it and gently rubbed its little head.

The night breeze wrapped in blood cherry blossom petals poured into the attic, and the cheerful guests downstairs came and went, and the tiresome hustle and bustle came and went.

An indescribable sense of familiarity permeated Qi Yan's heart again.

Like the pale moonlight in the soup pool in his dream, Qi Ji had the illusion that he had lived here for many years.

Qi Zhen was a little distracted, when the plot of the dungeon was not abandoned and that guy's character was still living in the Yu House, would he be like him at the moment, open the attic window, open a can of cats' favorite small dried fish, and watch the blood cherry blossoms while petting the cat?

The guy mentioned that he was stolen by a guy who came in and broke through......

What does this have to do with me?

Does their existence ......

"Meow meow meow~" The little gray cat who finished eating the dried fish interrupted Qi Jiu's thinking, and it twisted its ass over to rub it, trying to make the other party soften by being coquettish and give another can of dried fish.

Qi Jiu: "Good, don't eat so much, it's not good for your health." ”

"Meow meow!" The little gray cat barked a few times aggrievedly, then turned around and pointed at Qi Yan with his buttocks.

"Alright, alright, this is the last can." Qi Yan couldn't resist it, and quickly surrendered, and re-exchanged a can of small dried fish and put it in front of the little gray cat.

After all, this little guy has helped himself a lot all day today.

"System teacher, can you tell me where I can earn dried fish props?" Qi Ji looked at his only seven cans of dried fish with concern, and summoned the system to ask.

[This item has not been detected in the dungeon yet] The system answered honestly.

Qi Yan thought for a while, and then asked, "Can you arrange me some side quests that can earn small dried fish?" ”

The system is stuck for two seconds [your demand has been received by the system, and the system will try to arrange it for you, but there is no guarantee that it will be arranged]

Qi Yan smiled: "Thank you very much." ”

Before dawn the next day, there was a loud noise on the first floor of the Yu House, as if the door of the lobby had been forcibly kicked open, followed by messy and rude footsteps.

The wandering girls who had just fallen asleep were awakened, and the chaotic and noisy discussion spread quickly.

Qi Yan stuck his head out of the quilt, and the little gray cat also poked his head out of the pillow.

Qi Zhen stroked the cat on the side of the pillow and pricked up his ears to listen to the sound downstairs.

The rude footsteps hurried towards Miss Ikuko's room on the second floor, and from the discussion of the wandering girls, Qi Yan learned that it was not the Takahashi family who came to look for trouble today, but the people from the Takeuchi family who came to find the missing little son.

Immediately afterwards, the people of the Takeuchi family searched every room of the Yu House, and Qi Jiu, who had planned to continue sleeping, was forcibly driven out and waited outside the door to be searched.

They even went to the atrium to dig under the cherry trees, trying to find clues to the Yuzhiya to hide the truth, but unfortunately in the end they found nothing.

This made Qi Ji even more sure of his guess: the blood cherry blossoms in the atrium could absorb and dissolve the corpse in a short time, and even said that it was its food, and Miss Yuzi's act of burying the corpse could be regarded as feeding the demon tree.

At the same time as the search, the Takeuchi family also questioned everyone in the Yu no House, because Qi Ji was a helper who only joined yesterday, so the other party scribbled a few words.

The people of the Takeuchi family made trouble in the Yu House for almost two hours before leaving, and the entire Yu no House was panicked.

"The people of the Takeuchi family have spoken, and the little boy wants to see people alive and die to see corpses...... It seems that it is believed that the disappearance of the little boy is because of the Yu House. ”

"Yes, today's menacing appearance is just asking for an explanation."

"But this ...... Is it really related to the House of Yu? ”

"The devil knows, but he did see Yuzi the night before yesterday, and many people saw it, so it's useless for us to lie."

"Yuzi is going to be in trouble now."

"It's not just Yuzi, the entire Yuzhi House is in trouble, including you and me."

"But what about this?"

"I hope nothing happens......"

After dinner, several fierce thugs with swords on their waists came outside the Yu House, and they stood outside the door, and no customers dared to patronize the Yu House.

Obviously, they are all people sent by the Takeuchi family, and the thugs are polite when they come, and they are thankful that they didn't directly block the Yu no House on the grounds of searching.

Now everyone is really panicked, the Takahashi family is in charge like ants on a hot pot, as soon as the people of the Takeuchi family left, the Takahashi family hurried over, and the person in charge stayed in Miss Yuko's house for almost half an hour, from the beginning of the dispute to the gradual lack of movement, all the wandering girls in the Yuzhi House tensed their nerves and pricked up their ears, for fear that something would happen.

Half an hour later, the person in charge of the Takahashi family came out of Miss Yuko's room, his expression slightly relaxed.

"Then it's settled." The Takahashi family's steward seems to have asked for a solution to the situation from Miss Ikuko.
