Chapter 493: A Strange Knock at the Door (1)
A few days later......
Zhaoling Giant City, in the city lord's mansion.
From time to time, the crescent moon was covered by flowing thick clouds, and the heavy pressure came down and covered the top heavily.
The whole mansion flickered and darkened, the sky faintly rumbled, and the rain began to fall outside the window.
The room was filled with firedrops, illuminating the whole room as bright as day.
Nangong Qianyi looked flustered and sat at the desk, as if he was writing a letter.
"Boom!"
A gray-white lightning streaked outside the room, and the white light stained everything in the room with a layer of dead air.
The lightning was a little sudden, Nangong Qian was trembling with fright, and the brush in his hand was not held steady, and fell to the ground, staining the floor with a mess of ink stains.
Since the last time her sister Mu Rui disappeared, she chased after her father and told her previous experience completely.
But strangely, my father didn't pay much attention to it, and the next day, as if nothing had happened, the vanished Mu Rui walked out of his room and continued to play with her.
Nangong Qianyi plucked up the courage to ask her what happened before, and Mu Rui also looked like she didn't know anything, which made her heart chill slightly.
And my father didn't know when, but he always started to have a smiling expression, as if his whole face was stiff and solidified into a smile.
After that, only one sentence came out of my father's mouth.
"How was the study of the pamphlet brought back by the Beihuang family before?"
Not only him, but even the rest of the Nangong family were like this, always with a chilling smile on their faces, saying exactly the same questions.
The only difference was that the gray fog that had been hanging over the mansion before was much less, and the whole courtyard had slightly regained some vitality.
Nangong Qianyi once tried to find the entrance to the inexplicable courtyard, but there was a wall erected where it should have been a passage, and there was no trace of the courtyard gate.
She also tried to leave the castle lord's mansion, but was immediately stopped by her sister who suddenly appeared.
My sister would always appear behind her out of nowhere, calling her, pestering her, and asking her to play with her.
Although Nangong Qianyi was very resistant, as long as he heard his sister's voice, he would unconsciously become in a trance, as if he had been hypnotized by magic, and suddenly gave up the idea of leaving and returned to the mansion.
After playing with her sister in the clouds for a while, Nangong Murui disappeared again, and I don't know where she went.
What frightened her the most was that every night, the entire City Lord's Mansion would fall into a strange situation.
Whether it's her father, or her brothers and sisters, or the uncles and uncles in the family.
Everyone would gather in the banquet hall for a drinking feast.
But when Nangong Qianyi sneaked closer and took a peek, he found that everyone at the banquet was wearing the same smile, muttering something he didn't know.
These words are very strange, they seem to be coming from the throat, but they seem to be coming from the dantian, obviously they are just smiling, but their mouths can produce all kinds of syllables.
Thinking of this, Nangong Qianyi shuddered a little.
"Boom!"
Outside the window, another flash of lightning struck, and the whole room was once again stained white.
She patted her cheek, trying to cheer herself up.
After taking a few deep breaths, Nangong Qianyi continued to pick up the pen, dipped it in some ink, and continued to write.
"Mochen, I'm so scared, I don't know if the City Lord's Mansion has been invaded or I'm not in the City Lord's Mansion at all, these things are far stronger than me, I'm like a puppet that is controlled, as long as it goes against their will, it will be forcibly reversed.
But I can be sure that the pamphlet we brought out from the Northern Wilderness family was definitely something beyond our imagination, and I seemed to understand the principle, and it was exactly what was written on it......"
"Sister, how is the pamphlet studied?" Suddenly, Nangong Murui's voice suddenly came from behind her.
Nangong Qianyi suddenly stiffened, and his heart almost jumped out of his throat.
She tried her best to calm down, and turned her head slowly and stiffly.
"Hoo ......"
There was nothing behind him, nothing.
After she breathed a long sigh of relief, her sadness and fear exploded.
But she couldn't solve anything, so she buried her face between her arms helplessly and sobbed quietly.
She didn't dare to cry out loud, and she didn't dare to call anyone's name.
The many strange events during this period have made her haggard and unable to cope.
This place is even more terrifying than what I encountered in the village of Sin Household.
It was mental torture that made her almost break down.
"Bang la, bla blah. ”
The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, like a heavenly river pouring down, and the river is flowing backwards.
After sobbing for a while, Nangong Qianyi was still strong, picked up the pen again, and continued to write the letter.
Soon, she finished writing the letter, and after gluing the seal tightly, she opened the drawer.
It was filled with dozens of letters.
These are all written by Nangong Qianyi just in case, and the content is exactly the same.
She put all the letters into the ring, slowly lay down on the bed, put her head under the quilt, and shrunk into a ball.
She didn't dare to go near the wall, nor to the head and foot of the bed, for fear that something would suddenly come out of all around her.
Soon, she changed her position again, curled up as much as she could at the end of the bed, and let the quilt bulge into a large bag, so that from the outside, the bed looked like a pile of quilts arranged haphazardly, and no one was sleeping on it.
She didn't want people to know that she slept here, sleeping in this room.
It feels much safer that way.
She vaguely felt that all this had something to do with the white booklet in her hand.
The people who trapped her, hoping that she would crack the secret on the white pamphlet.
She didn't know if she was the first monk to be captured.
If not, are those monks in an endless state of illusion like themselves, or are they being locked up somewhere to endure inhuman torture and inhuman torture?
She didn't dare to think about it, and almost fell into extreme fear.
Not because she was worried about the situation of the monks, but because she did what they wanted her to do.
She worked out the use of the white booklet.
Time passed slowly, and unconsciously, Nangong Qianyi suddenly felt a little sleepy, his consciousness gradually became confused, and he was about to fall asleep.
"Knock knock. ”
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Nangong Qianyi trembled, and most of his sleepiness ran away in an instant, and he didn't dare to move.
"Knock knock. ”
There was another knock at the door.
The voice was urgent, loud, and it seemed that there was really something urgent.
Nangong Qianyi closed his eyes and trembled, trying to pretend that there was no one in the house.
After her observation in the past few days, none of the entire mansion, along with hundreds of servants, were normal, as if they had gone out of a trance.
So who will knock on the door at this time?
"Knock knock!"
"Knock knock!"
The knock on the door kept repeating itself, and it didn't seem to stop at all.
"Maybe my father and brother found out that I didn't come back and came to save me......" An inexplicable thought came to her mind, a little hope in despair, and it seemed like she was comforting herself to face these unknown enemies.
Finally, Nangong Qianyi was a little bolder and slowly uncovered the quilt.
She took a deep breath, the spirit yuan in her body was extremely lucky, and the runes around her body flickered with a faint light, which was almost invisible under the heavy dark clouds.
She quietly got out of bed, walked behind the door, and peeked out through the keyhole.
