In the Su Mansion, which was gradually shrouded in darkness, in order to stay awake, Su Cheng would slowly press his bare palm on the ice slag on the surface of the mound every once in a while, and the skin and flesh in contact with it had already bloomed, and every time he rubbed hard, there would be a tingling sensation.

Su Cheng didn't care about this. For him, physical pain can actually relieve the pain caused by high nervous tension and fear. If it weren't for these sharp ice slags, he would have broken the heartstrings that had been tense all along, and turned himself into a cold, stiff corpse.

It's so tiring.

If he could, Su Cheng really wanted to close his eyes and sleep comfortably.

However, because he didn't want to die yet, he resolutely couldn't sleep.

But as time passed, he felt that he couldn't hold on for long, maybe it was a tea time, or maybe it was a pillar of incense, and he would freeze to death on this mound, or he would be found by those monsters in the dark, take off his head, and then discard his body at will.

Smack!

Suddenly, a soft sound came into Su Cheng's ears.

Then he seemed to feel a long-lost warmth, coming from all parts of his body, and the whole person was a little lazy, almost about to fall asleep.

He violently bit off a piece of flesh from his lower lip, and only then did he sober up a little under the dual effect of the sharp pain and the smell of blood, and began to observe the scarlet flames that rose silently around his body in horror.

Have you finally found the horrors that lurked in the darkness......

Is he going to die soon!?

A series of thoughts came up, Su Cheng remembered the tragic situation of the others before they died, the string in his heart was suddenly broken directly, and without thinking about it, he pulled out the short knife hidden on his waist and stabbed it fiercely towards his vital point.

Click!

His knife-wielding wrist was caught.

Then he saw a person squatting down in front of him, and said in a slightly puzzled tone, "Am I so terrible, why do you want to kill yourself without saying a word when you see me?"

"You...... You are ......" Su Cheng gasped and said tremblingly.

"I'm Commander Gu of the Tiqi General Office, and I'm here to rescue you and investigate the horrors that happened in the mansion at the same time. ”

Gu Juan calmed his emotions, turned his head to look at the dark mist not far away, and said in a calm tone, "What is your identity, do you know what the situation is here now?"

Su Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the pair of eyes burning with faint blue fire in front of him in a daze, and suddenly calmed down at this moment.

He exhaled heavily and spoke quickly.

"If you go back to the adult, the younger one's name is Su Cheng, and he is the second housekeeper of the Guozhang Mansion, and he is mainly responsible for ...... on weekdays."

"Okay, you don't need to go into too much detail about these useless situations, you can just talk about what happened in the Guozhang Mansion, and don't say anything else useless, understand?"

Su Cheng nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, if you go back to your lordship,"

"Today, several ladies gathered in the garden to eat tea and enjoy the snow, and then the eldest lady's personal maid Hong'er came out to tell me, saying that the eldest lady felt that it was not very enjoyable to just eat some snacks and tea, and asked me to order the kitchen to make some wine and dishes to eat, I wondered if I wanted to ask a few ladies what dishes they wanted to eat and drink, so I went to the garden with Hong'er......"

Under the warmth and comfort of the red flames, Su Cheng's pale face was a little more dizzy, and he looked up at Gu Juan with a calm expression, his body was no longer trembling as before, and although he was still a little nervous when he continued to speak, his mental state was obviously much better than before.

"I didn't think that as soon as I stepped into the arch of the garden, I found that the sky had suddenly turned dark, and I couldn't see my five fingers, and even the red child was gone, and I was startled, and I was wondering why everything was fine just now, and why it was suddenly so dark, could it be that something had happened? The little one knew that the ladies were still in the garden, so he gritted his teeth and went inside, and after only two steps, he found that the red light was lit up, and he was standing in a large sea of flowers with no edge in sight......

Gu Juan couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard him say something incoherent.

He didn't know whether there was a garden in the Guozhang Mansion, where the garden was, and how big it was, but this was the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, and although the Su family had a queen, it was impossible for the mansion to accommodate too large a garden, let alone an endless sea of flowers.

So the source of this strange incident still falls in the garden of Su Mansion?

"It's really a flower that can't be seen at a glance, all the leaves are as black as ink, but the flower at the top is bigger than a basin, except for the black and white in the middle of the flower, the rest of the petals are as bright red as blood, and there is a ticking sound in my ears......"

"I moved closer a little further, only to find that blood was flowing down every petal, and what was even more terrifying was that in the middle of the flower was a human head, countless petals, countless human heads, black hair, white white human face, each face had no facial features, only two big black holes in the place of the eyes, staring at me deadly!"

The second housekeeper of Su Mansion shuddered violently when he said this, and then he had the courage to continue: "I want to turn around and run, but I can't find my way back, at this time, it seems that someone is calling my name from afar, I don't know why I followed the sound in confusion, and found a dry well all the way, and the sound came from below...... I looked down and saw several ladies. ”

"Garden, dry well, this scene is somewhat familiar...... Gu Juan narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then motioned for Su Cheng to continue.

"The ladies were left with only one head, and their faces were covered with blood, and a long thread of silk passed through their ears, and tied their heads in a string to the wall of the well, and when the wind blew, it tinkled like a bell! ”

The little one didn't dare to look back, he didn't even care about the head of the person wearing it in the sea of flowers, he just ran forward, and he didn't know how long he had run, but he still couldn't run out of the edge of the sea of flowers, and then he was patted on the shoulder again, and I looked back in a daze this time, only to see a pair of blood-red eyes in front of me, and nothing was gone between heaven and earth, only these eyes remained. ”

Steward Su shivered again, and tried to support the ground with his arms so that he did not collapse.

"Second steward, you just said that you saw those eyes in the sea of flowers, the biggest possibility is that you have been targeted by the tricks in the strange incident...... Well, I'd love to know how you managed to escape, it's not the confines of the garden. ”

Gu Juan gently tapped the handle of the axe with his fingers, and his tone was still calm and gentle.
