That night passed as if nothing had happened.

It was right to come to the dark night, and those who should have explored and groped were not idle, but that hug, both of them tacitly chose to forget.

If you want to go to Luan Yan again, you have to wait another seven days before it will be your turn, and it is not a way to wait like this, so Phantom Wu decided to start with the remaining few dancing girls.

Yesterday she went to visit Ru Niang, and the two knew each other, and today she decided to go again.

"Ru Niang, how do you feel today?"

"It's just the same old thing. "Ru Niang is older than other dancing girls and is very kind.

Phantom Wu looked at her very badly: "Has your body always been like this?"

Ru Niang shook her head, "When I was a child, I was frail and sickly, but it was better when I grew up, and it started like this after entering the palace. ”

"That's right. Phantom Wu wanted to touch her pulse in person, so he said: "You always lie down like this, it is inevitable that your body is not refreshing, I will have some massage techniques, why don't I press it for you?"

"Won't that be too much of a hassle for you?"

"No, no, no. Phantom Wu helped Ru Niang up and half leaned on the pillow, but really massaged her.

Ru Niang is very thin, but she dances all year round, and her muscles and bones are still in good condition. Phantom Wu was massaging and taking the opportunity to take her pulse.

The pulse is sluggish, and she looks like a perennial person, but if this is the case, Ru Niang can't dance at all.

"Huh, Ru Niang, why do you have some wounds on your hands?" Phantom Wu found that Ru Niang's forearms, fingers, and palms were all scratched, but they were all scabbed.

Ru Niang's eyebrows were heavy, and her face was tired: "I don't know, maybe I bumped into it while dancing." ”

"Yes...... "How can all the bumps be scratched? But Phantom Wu can't strip people naked, so he has to give up.

pressed and pressed, Ru Niang fell asleep like this, as if she was sleepy.

Phantom couldn't, covered her with the quilt, and left her room lightly.

Phantom Wu had some thoughts in her heart, she went to see Ah Xiu's hands by the way, and also saw similar wounds, but there were fewer of them.

Ah Xiu didn't know how the wound was made, and they didn't care very much.

Forget it if one person is like this, how can several people be like this? Phantom Wu was very sad, but there was no one in the know who could give her an answer, he knew that she should have poked that Ao's brain directly, he must have known everything.

But in this world, there is no magical setting of "early knowing".

There was one person left who didn't ask, and that was Fan Xiaoyue, who didn't look very happy.

But that Fan Xiaoyue was extremely difficult, basically answering everything with "um, oh, good", and couldn't ask anything.

Phantom noticed that her hand was clean, with only a relatively large wound, which she said had been accidentally cut.

Well...... Oil and salt do not enter.

The turning point of things is still brought by Changjue: "Fan Xiaotan said that Fan Xiaoyue is her sister. ”

"Hmm, how did you ask?" explained so easily, I don't want Fan Xiaotan's style.

Chang Jue blinked: "I asked her if she knew someone named Fan Xiaoyue, and she said." ”

Phantom: ...... Are you sure you didn't use the beauty trick?

She also said, let you help send this letter to Fan Xiaoyue. Chang Jue took out a letter and handed it to Phantom.

"Oh. Phantom held up the thin letter and squinted at the moonlight.

"You can't steal like this. He couldn't help but smile.

Phantom: "Who said I was going to peek!"

Chang Jue found out, and the more unconfident the phantom was, the more justified he became: "Stupid." ”

Phantom glare: "Didn't you say I was very smart before?" The accent was bitten on the word "very".

Chang Jue said with a serious face: "...... It was the wind just now. ”

Phantom: "......"

The next day, Phantom Wu handed the letter to Fan Xiaoyue.

"Do you know Xiao Tan?" Phantom Wu saw a wave on her face for the first time.

Phantom Turn: "She asked me to give you the letter." ”

Fan Xiaoyue didn't care that the phantom was still there, and opened the letter to herself.

Looking at it, the circles under my eyes turned red.

"Won't you write a reply?"

Fan Xiaoyue put the letter away and shook her head: "I won't write the letter, if you can, help me bring her a sentence 'everything is fine'." ”

"That's it?" Phantom looked at her expression, and could tell that she still missed her sister, "Okay. ”

As soon as Phantom Wu wanted to leave, she heard Fan Xiaoyue stop her: "If you want to ask anything, just ask." ”

Phantom Wu turned his head: "Can you really ask?"

"Actually, I don't know much. "Ouch, this stepping stone is really useful!

"What's the matter with the princess's illness, does it have anything to do with the priest's hall?"

Fan Xiaoyue shook her head: "I really don't know this." ”

"What the hell is that so-called prayer?"

"All I know is that they are drawing the talismans with the blood of those women. ”

No wonder, they all have so many small wounds, and it really doesn't take a lot of blood to draw the talisman.

Phantom Wu stared at her hand: "You were the first to come, why did you have the least wounds?"

Fan Xiaoyue laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm just a gimmick." The purpose of holding this music and dance conference was to find a suitable sacrificer, but at the beginning, everyone didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to participate easily, so I was pushed out at this time. When everyone saw that I had entered the palace, there was nothing wrong with it, and they dared to believe that this was really just a meeting for the princess to pray for. ”

"Or the men of the priesthood?"

"Yes, Xiaotan and I are both from the priest's hall, but everyone only knows about her existence, and I am a pawn hidden in the shadows. ”

Fan Xiaoyue's face was calm, and she didn't seem to feel sad about her situation at all.

Fan Xiaotan has a lively personality and is a little arrogant, while Fan Xiaoyue is calm and introverted, these two sisters are really different.

"What are the conditions for them to choose people?"

"The best woman is when the moon is cloudy in the lunar year, and if you can't meet it, you can have one yin or two yin. ”

"You're not eligible, so they don't use your blood?"

"That's right," Fan Xiaoyue subconsciously stroked her scars, "Even if I want to, the lord of the country will not." ”

Phantom Wu looked at her and lowered her eyelashes, but she still couldn't hide the bitterness on her face, and suddenly said, "You like the lord of the country?"

"Huh?" Fan Xiaoyue raised her head, a little embarrassed by being seen.

"Well, that's not a question, you don't have to answer it. ”

"Last question, is it the priesthood's house or the lord's idea?"

"I don't know, but I know that the lord of the kingdom really wants to wake up Her Royal Highness. ”

Phantom nodded, "I see, thank you." ”

She turned around and was about to leave, when Fan Xiaoyue suddenly said, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't do anything, I'm asked to do what I can. ”

"No matter what you want to do, can you not involve Xiaotan?"

Phantom turned his head to look at her: "She is a prayer person, or a priest's hall person, she doesn't need me to pull her, she is already in this quagmire." ”

Fan Xiaoyue moved her lips, but she didn't say anything.

"But she is not as calm as you, and she does superficial things, and she doesn't know as much as you. Instead of worrying about her, you should think about yourself, you are the one who has been deeply immersed in the mud physically and mentally. ”

Fan Xiaoyue said a little excitedly: "I can't go back, but she can still do it! These things have nothing to do with her!"

"These things?" Phantom Wu grimaced: "Since this is the case, then I will ask again, does the matter of praying for nightmares and people having their eyes gouged out have anything to do with the priest's hall?"

"I, I don't know. Fan Xiaoyue has always been very calm, and even has a faint smile, but at this time she lowered her eyes and looked frightened.

He smiled in disillusionment, "What about those who have lost their eyeballs? Is it really a cure for your priests' temple to take people away? You always know that, right?"

Fan Xiaoyue was stunned and sat down on the chair: "When the first person without eyeballs appeared in Huiyu City, the high priest asked people to take him back to the priest's hall. At that time, no one knew what this had to do with nightmares, but the high priest was very sure that it was the work of the nebuta, and that there would be a second or a third. ”

"Sandman?"

"That's right, it's not a nightmare, a nightmare is born from nightmares, in essence, because of people's evil, and they grow their energy by sucking nightmares. The Sandman is a monster that makes people sleep, and the ability to create large-scale nightmares does not have to be weak nightmares, what they have in common is that they have no substance, but the Sandman is more evil, and after sucking enough nightmares, it will also eat people's eyeballs when they are addicted to dreams. ”

"That's all your high priest said?" To be honest, she instinctively didn't believe the high priest.

"These are the things I have seen from the ancient books of the priests' temple. The high priest was right, and sure enough, after a few days, more people lost their eyeballs. But the first man whose eyes were eaten suddenly woke up, but he became like a wild beast, and he was furious, and the high priest ordered that raw meat be brought to him, and as long as he had meat to eat and blood to drink, he could be quiet. ”

Fan Xiaoyue didn't know what she was thinking, with a look of fear and disgust.

"So you high priests actually know how to deal with it?"

"No, he experimented with it. After bringing the next few men to the priest's house, they ...... They began to bite each other...... Once someone is bitten to death, they will be eaten cleanly. Fan Xiaoyue covered her face, looking very unwilling to recall.

"Then you brought people together and locked them up just so that they could kill each other?" Phantom Wu felt incredulous, if so, it was a hell on earth, and that Lu Li was even more demonic than a demon.

"The high priest said that instead of letting them hurt others, it was better to let them ...... themselves Die out on your own. ”

"It's ridiculous, since it's killing each other, there must be one of the most powerful people left......" Phantom Wu said this, suddenly stopped, she looked at Fan Xiaoyue, Fan Xiaoyue was also looking at her, and nodded.
