Chapter 29: Breakthrough
The paralyzing coldness was completely dispelled, and the strength in her body instantly reached its peak, but other than that, she didn't feel any other noticeable difference.
If she had to say anything, she didn't seem to feel scared now.
Because in this red vision, everything that was originally dim and blurry became clear, even things that were far away, so she could also see clearly what the small hole in the window was.
It was the eye of a beast, revealing a strange golden luster, this eye had been watching her at the door since just now, for a long, long time, if it had been before, she would have screamed, but now there was no fear in her heart.
The body was a little boiling because of the excessive abundance, as if she wanted to break free from the control of her body and rush out, Liu Qingmian couldn't hold back any longer, her inner breath gushed out, and a wave of red aura swept away from her as the center, sweeping out of the window, and even left a pale red mark on the surrounding walls!
The wave that spread out was fleeting, and at the same time disappeared the eye peeping out the window, and the sense of oppression it bringed. The feeling of weakness after the breakthrough and the large consumption of true breath made Liu Qingmian sit down on the bed in a gloomy manner, although she didn't know if the blow just now had an effect, but she knew that the thing outside the window was far away, and the chilling breath had disappeared, but she didn't know if it would turn back?
Everything that followed became a little unreal, and in a trance, she only remembered that the moonlight outside the window had dimmed, and when the moon had once again lifted the clouds that had obscured it, the shadow had not reappeared.
Her body had recovered a little from the weakness she had just had, and her eyelids were heavy, but the small hole in the window reminded her that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Fortunately, this kind of fearful night is not the first time for Liu Qingmian, when she has not yet broken through in her cultivation and is in the wild, I don't know how many nights she needs to be vigilant all night, only when the sun comes out the next day, she dares to make a fire, close her eyes and rest for a while.
Even after returning to the Yunxian Sect, she had not completely broken this habit, so that at a young age, the dark circles under her eyes were already quite serious.
There was a distant rooster crowing outside the window, and I don't know which one it was, but it made her feel extremely relieved, and finally slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It is said that dreams mirror what happens in reality.
Liu Qingmian used to be a girl who liked to study her dreams, but since she crossed over, I don't know if it was because of the lack of subject matter, she rarely dreamed, especially when she was out for more than a year, she was tired to fall asleep almost every day, and then slept until dawn.
She still remembered the last dream, the gentle woman in purple.
Seeing the intimacy of Lin Yurou's two sisters during the day, she was in a trance for a while, and there was a trace of strong envy hidden in her heart. In this uncomfortable sleep, some memory fragments quickly intertwined in her mind, coming and going, about 'sister', about 'kite'.
But who are they and what is their relationship with her?
Unknown.
The chaotic dream also disrupted the perception of time, Liu Qingmian didn't know how long she had been asleep, anyway, she was woken up by a scream that was worse than killing a pig, followed by a sparse cracking sound, "Bang Bang!" Jiang Huaiyi carried the broken pieces of wood and confetti, and the whole person crashed in, and the pieces of the wooden door were scattered everywhere, and even flew down to the place where Liu Qingmian slept.
"???" was covered with wooden blocks and confetti, Liu Qingmian stared at the three people who broke into the door with a pair of swollen eyes and question marks, and asked them deeply: "You... Is it easy for me to get a good night's sleep?" he looked at the dilapidated 'door' on the ground and couldn't see it at all, and said, "You don't feel sorry for your door, I feel sorry for you!!"
"Qingmian!!You're okay!!" Lin Yurou rushed over to protect Liu Qingmian first, and then she went up and down, and after a detailed examination, she confirmed that she was not in any major trouble except that her face was haggard, and then let her go.
Liu Qingmian's heart moved, and the three people who spoke did not pay attention, and quietly looked at his palm.
The palm that was pinched by her had already been restored with the help of the Blood God Tribulation, except for a shallow fine mark, only the congealed blood stains were dried up, and while answering the questions of the three of them, she put her hand behind her back and wiped it, wiping off the few blood stains, and thanks to Jiang Huaiyi's sabotage, the pale red mark that was obviously from the inside was also destroyed beyond recognition.
Just in case, she also quietly turned on the suppression ability of the blind jade bracelet again, this secret like a time bomb is even more terrifying than last night's incident.
"You didn't notice anything unusual last night?" Liu Qingmian looked at the three of them, who were puzzled by the pale red marks left on the walls of the room.
Lin Shenglian looked at her sister, and then shook her head at Liu Qingmian: "Because I went to bed early, I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and I didn't hear any unusual sounds at that time. ”
Lin Yurou looked at Liu Qingmian apologetically: "I, I slept until dawn, and I didn't hear anything." She paused, pointed to the marks on the wall and trembled, "What is this? Just now we saw a large black mark on the window paper outside the door, and there was a slight reddish next to it, we thought you... Xiao Mian, what did you encounter last night?" Lin Yurou was very worried.
Liu Qingmian told them about what happened last night, but replaced the thing with the fact that he was afraid of the rooster's crow, so he fled.
"That's right!" Jiang Huaiyi clapped his hands and said, "Let's go to the door first to see the clues, that person has left a lot of traces, maybe it will be useful to find out who it is." As he spoke, he walked towards the door.
The wooden boards were broken all over the floor, and the window paper, which was completely unrecognizable, were quietly scattered on it, as if they were complaining about what had just happened.
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now. Jiang Huaiyi covered his face.
Liu Qingmian patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, I think it should still come, but why didn't that Guang Yaoke come out yesterday to take care of this monster?"
"There are twelve districts in Guangyao City, he shouldn't be too busy. Lin Yurou guessed.
Even if Guang Yaoke is free, he has to find him, but as a last resort, Liu Qingmian never wants to joke with his own life, what if he flies up to find him again, what if he shoots directly without saying a word?
"No, he probably saw you for the first time yesterday, right? I used to go back and forth to shop, as long as I didn't wander around in the sky, he wouldn't show up. Lin Yurou paused, and said strangely: "However, I once stayed in the sky for a long time like you did yesterday, but I didn't see him appear." As soon as she talked about Guang Yaoke, Lin Yurou's fear of the mysterious person just now was suddenly swept away, as if his name could have power.
Liu Qingmian said with disdain: "Look at your nymphomaniac, when did you see him?"
“... Yesterday was the first time. Lin Yurou smiled embarrassedly.
"Listening to the science you do, I thought you saw him a lot. Liu Qingmian poked Lin Yurou's forehead with her hand, and Lin Yurou said proudly: "Have you forgotten who your Senior Sister Lin is? There is no gossip that I don't know..."
Put your gossip energy into cultivation, and you are afraid that you will be able to enter the top 100 this time, Liu Qingmian sneered.
The path of asking for help from the master has been abandoned for the time being, and everyone can only figure out a way on their own. Looking at the mess all over the ground, although the wooden door as important evidence was destroyed, fortunately, everyone still found a string of black marks on the ground, to be exact, it should be regarded as footprints.
Why should it be? Because this is not something that a human can walk through.
From the door of Liu Qingmian's house to a wall in the courtyard, this long one, black and mixed with unknown viscous objects, this trace is more likely to be left by something dirty dragging on the ground, but this trace disappeared so abruptly in front of this wall.
Jiang Huaiyi climbed over the wall, and then shook his head at the three people below.
There's nothing left on the walls, can this thing still fly?
This hideous and disgusting trace, as well as its mysterious and unpredictable way of action, for the first time, made Liu Qingmian have a more intuitive feeling of what was outside the window last night, which made her instantly have goosebumps, and her face became very bad, Jiang Huaiyi and Lin Yurou next to her noticed her expression, and they both leaned over to comfort her.
After much deliberation, they came up with several solutions, and now, they call the mysterious intruder last night a 'monster'.
Lin Yurou's proposal was to propose that the four of them gather in the study room yesterday tonight, if there is a situation that is convenient to take care of, but it was immediately rejected by everyone, because what kind of ability that monster has is not yet clear, although Liu Qingmian predicted from the quality of its internal breath that it only had a foundation building period of cultivation, otherwise it should have been a killer last night.
And monsters have spells that can make people feel powerless and confused, and because the ability is unknown, they attribute it to monsters.
If the spell worked on the entire room at once, they wouldn't even have a chance to find outside help.
Lin Shenglian was more conservative and offered to return to the sect within today, but the matter of the jade brick may not be completed in one day, which is equivalent to increasing the risk of punishment for Lin Yurou's mission, and at the same time, Liu Qingmian thinks that leaving rashly before figuring out the true purpose of the monster may harm the Jiang Mansion or the innocent people in this city.
Somehow, her instincts told her that the monster was coming for her.
Just when everyone was anxious, Jiang Huaiyi thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Haha, I have a way, have you forgotten what our family's old business is?"
Several people looked at each other, and then said at the same time: "Dart game!"
