it's harmonious

Hearing this voice, Jin Yan looked over unconsciously, and at the same time felt that the flow of the surrounding air suddenly accelerated, as if something was moving quickly here.He quickly shook off the hand of the woman he was holding. Fortunately, the other party did not respond to his move.

Amitabha, slip away.

Jin Yan raised one foot and was about to move to the side when a pungent stench hit his face, accompanied by the sound of dripping water.A light appeared in front of him, and then he saw a tall mass of mud appearing in front of him.The lump of mud was about a person's height, and it looked like a human being, and even had limbs made of mud. Thinking about this, Jin Yan suddenly saw something moving on the mud ball, which looked very much like a human's facial features.

"Damn it!" Jin Yan almost looked into those eyes in the mud, almost having a heart attack.There really was a person in that ooze!The man's whole body was covered in rotten mud, and the sewage from his body continued to flow underground, giving off an increasingly strong stench, reminiscent of the stinky ditch that had been stagnant for several days and the drainage pipes after the toilet was clogged.

The two eyeballs in the mud rolled around, ignored Jin Yan, but locked on the woman in red beside him.

"Miss Hua! You are here! You are finally here!" The humanoid monster covered in mud made a hoarse voice, "I have been waiting for you for a long time... so long that I began to suspect that you would not come to the appointment... If that's the case, I won't have a chance to explain all this to you."

The slime monster walked around in front of the woman in red while talking, and Jin Yan felt like vomiting from the strong stench.He wanted to run wildly, but he was afraid of alarming the monster.This strange space seems to be controlled by the ooze monster. Although it focuses its attention on the woman, Jin Yan is completely exposed to its sight. Once caught, the consequences will be hard to say.Thinking of the severe pain just now, Jin Yan couldn't help feeling timid.

Another problem is that Jin Yan doesn't know whether all this is a dream or reality.Even if he escaped, he didn't know which direction to run.

Unlike Jin Yan, who was full of worries about how to get out, the woman in red beside him stood quietly, her hair hanging down to cover her face, motionless in front of the stinking slime monster.Jin Yan didn't even know how this woman appeared, but he admired her calmness from the bottom of his heart, and even wanted to give her a thumbs up.If this woman is really the "Miss Hua" that the slime monster is looking for, Jin Yan hopes that she can appease the monster and let the monster spare Zhou Xingyu's life.

"Miss Hua, I know you still believe in me, otherwise you wouldn't come here, right?" The silt monster was completely immersed in the ecstasy of his wish, waving rotten wood and mud like limbs at the woman, non-stop Talk to yourself.

"Your mother came to me and said that you knew the truth and would never see me again. I don't believe what she said, I don't believe..." The mud monster said, his hoarse voice suddenly became a little choked, "I'm sorry, I really lied to you... I met you by chance on the street that day, and I will never forget you. Your appearance is deeply imprinted in my heart. I want to see you again, but I am just a poor Scholar, I can’t get in the gate of Hua’s house. I wandered around your door every day, watching those noble-dressed guests go in one by one, but I didn’t even have a chance to see you. Later, someone appeared and said The Hua family is holding a dance party, and he can help me in, on the condition that I steal the dance mask collected by the Hua family and give it to him..."

Hearing this, Jin Yan felt the woman's body shake slightly.

"Miss Hua, I want to ask for your forgiveness. Please don't hate me. I promised him to do this because I love you. I really love you. Apart from the prom mask, I don't care about you anymore. There is no place to lie to you!" The silt monster said, and he became anxious, "Don't hate me, don't hate me, we agreed, leave this place together, go away..."

"You..." Suddenly, the woman interrupted the ooze monster's confession, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Now that you see me, can you let Xingyu leave?"

Jin Yan was overjoyed, as if he saw hope, but soon felt that something was wrong, and the mud monster was stunned for a moment, and asked in an almost flattering tone: "Are you talking about this kid? He helped me find you, I am very happy Thank him, I will let him go, and I will promise to do whatever you want me to do..."

"Yes, it's this kid. You let him go, and then... we'll fly away," the woman said.

Jin Yan found it very strange, Hua Yourong, how could this woman who lived decades ago know Zhou Xingyu's name?But in the current situation, he really didn't have the guts to ask, because the mud monster became excited again when he heard the woman in red.

"Miss Hua, my love! Let's go far away together!" The silt monster took a step forward, stretched out two stinky rotten "arms", and hugged the woman in red in his arms.

At that moment, a flash of light appeared in the darkness, first there was a "poof", as if something had been pierced by a sharp weapon, and then a woman's shrill voice: "Xingyu! Let's go!"

Jin Yan was startled when he saw the woman in red turning her head towards him. It was a strange yet familiar face.This woman... turned out to be Mrs. Lan!In the only beam of light, Jin Yan saw Mrs. Lan holding a sterling silver dagger deeply inserted into the body of the slime monster.

"Ah——" the silt monster let out a roar, it waved its limbs, pushed the woman in red fiercely, and said angrily, "You are not Miss Hua! Who are you! How dare you lie to me! I will kill you !"

The woman was pushed away by the mud monster, and she fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, making a dull sound.

"How dare you bring counterfeit goods to lie to me? Where is my Miss Hua? Where is it?" After pushing the woman away, the slime monster rushed towards Jin Yan again.

Jin Yan was stunned by the upheaval in front of him, finally reacted, and instinctively ran to the place where Mrs. Lan fell, wanting to take her along.Suddenly, his footsteps stopped abruptly as if being poured with lead, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes with his hands, thinking that he was dazzled.

When he saw the person lying on the ground clearly, he was completely stunned.This person is not Mrs. Lan, but Zhou Xingjie.

There was no red clothes, no long hair, only a wounded young man with a thin body and a face as pale as paper, as if he had been ill for a long time.

what happened? !It was obviously a woman just now...

Zhou Xingjie was thrown so dizzy that his bones seemed to be falling apart. He opened his eyes, saw Jin Yan standing in front of him, and stretched out his hand to him with difficulty.

Jin Yan felt that he was hallucinating, and he blinked hard, but what he saw was Zhou Xingjie, not Madam Lan, and even the grimace on the other's shoulder was still the same.

No way?Could it be that he was so deeply influenced by Zhou Xingyu that he was already insane?

"Xingyu! Let's go!" Zhou Xingjie endured the severe pain in his body and shouted at him.

"I..." Jin Yan recovered from his panic, and quickly ran away. Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind. He stopped and turned around, pulling Zhou Xingjie up.

"Xingyu?" Zhou Xingjie's voice was full of disbelief, but he soon realized that something was wrong. He fell so hard that he couldn't use his legs and feet, and Zhou Xingyu was only a half-year-old boy, so he couldn't lift him at all.

Jin Yan took a deep breath, grabbed Zhou Xingjie's arms with both hands, and dragged him like a cart to the darkness behind.

"Xingyu, what are you doing? Let me go! Run!" Zhou Xingjie was anxious, struggling to get away from Jin Yan.

With a soft "click", a shiny object fell out of Zhou Xingjie's clothes.Jin Yan looked up and saw a gorgeous mask lying on the wet ground.The mask is made of high-quality materials and exquisitely designed. The surface is inlaid with finely divided diamonds, reflecting an unusually bright light in the dim light.

Jin Yan only took one look and felt a familiar attraction.In the living room that day, he also felt the same way. It was this force that attracted him to Mr. Zhou's study.

It turned out to be a mask...

"Liar! I'm going to kill you!" The silt monster roared and rushed over. When it was opening its teeth and claws, it was actually attracted by the mask. It stopped abruptly halfway, clamped it with its rotting limbs, and put it on Look carefully in front of your eyes.

"It's so beautiful... I can smell Miss Hua..." the mud monster said foolishly.

"Xingyu, now! Run!" Zhou Xingjie grabbed Jin Yan's hand with his backhand and shouted at him.

Jin Yan bent down, tried his best to avoid contact with that terrifying grimace, and forced Zhou Xingjie to get up from the ground, and ran forward with him.He noticed that Zhou Xingjie always dragged one leg when he moved, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.

"What is that mask?"

"Things that can make people hallucinate." Zhou Xingjie took a breath, and replied briefly, "It's the collection of the Hua family, and it was transferred to our house together with the house."

In the dark space, they run blindly, not knowing where they are going.Listening to him, Jin Yan knew whether Zhou Xingyu had controlled his words, or he also wanted to know the answer to this question, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"

"... Xingyu, you still hate me." Zhou Xingjie smiled wryly.

While the two were talking, a rustling sound quickly approached from behind.The faces of both of them changed, Zhou Xingjie pushed Jin Yan away, and shouted: "Xingyu, leave me alone, run away!"

"You're hurt like this, what else do you want to do?!" Jin Yan was a little annoyed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the stench and the sound of ticking water came to his eyes at the same time.The silt monster waved its limbs and rushed up like crazy. The dagger was still stuck in its body, occasionally reflecting a flash of cold light.The monster yelled: "You killed Miss Hua! I want you to pay for it! Ahhhh! Go to hell with her now!"

"Run!" Zhou Xingjie yelled at Jin Yan, then straightened his back and stood in front of the slime monster.

"Damn it." Jin Yan cursed secretly, moving faster than his brain, rushed up with a brisk stride, and hit Zhou Xingjie hard before the mud monster threw himself on Zhou Xingjie.

The sticky mud covered his whole body, and he could smell an old stench that could suffocate people to death.The moment his nose was attacked by the overwhelming stench, Jin Yan felt that he was about to die.

"Xingyu!" Zhou Xingjie called him, his voice trembling.

"Go to hell!" The ooze monster shook off Jin Yan, and at the same time shook the dagger from his body. With a "bang", the dagger fell to the ground, and that powerful strange force also swept Jin Yan away.

In this dark space, there is a beam of light falling from the sky that has been following the ooze monster.Zhou Xingjie was not far away, and he vaguely saw a shadow. He stood on tiptoe with his injured leg, and stretched out his hand to catch the flying person.The bodies of the two brothers collided violently and fell to the ground at the same time.Zhou Xingjie landed on the ground and tried his best to protect Jin Yan on his body. If it wasn't for the muddy ground, he would have been bleeding.

Jin Yan completely crawled on top of him, and smelled a faint smell of medicine, which was very familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere before.Just as he was thinking, his nose suddenly became sour, and two lines of tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Ahhhhh—" the silt monster roared angrily.

Just when the two of them were in despair, they heard a sharp "meow", and a group of small things flew past them quickly. After hearing a "click", the slime monster trembled all over, its limbs danced wildly, and said angrily : "What! Come down to me quickly! Ah!"

The slime monster screamed, Zhou Xingjie gritted his teeth and sat up, pulling Jin Yan up to run away.Jin Yan stopped him abruptly, and shouted at him, "Find the dagger! Go!"

"What?" Zhou Xingjie was taken aback, he and Jin Yan looked at each other for a moment in the darkness, but couldn't see each other's eyes clearly.

"That's Jin Yan's cat! It's biting that monster!" Jin Yan pointed to the mass of black hair biting the head of the slime monster and said, "Look for a dagger! Let's kill this monster!"

Zhou Xingjie was shocked, as if he had made some important decision, he staggered forward with his injured leg, picked up the dagger on the ground, and stuck it on the lump of mud with all his strength.

"Go to hell!" Zhou Xingjie had a grim expression, clenched the dagger with both hands, and stabbed the monster frantically.

"Meow!" The black cat jumped on the two eyeballs of the slime monster, twisting and fighting non-stop.The slime monster was in pain all over its body. While making a strange roar, it twisted its body vigorously, but it finally subsided slowly.

Jin Yan supported the ground and stood up, feeling that the stench seemed to spread around, completely polluting this strange space.

Until the roar of the slime monster stopped completely, Jin Yan took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards Zhou Xingjie, who had stabbed the dagger in the monster's heart. Unexpectedly, just as he took a step, he felt dizzy before his eyes, and his body went limp again.When he woke up again, he found himself lying in front of the ancient well in the courtyard, beside Zhou Xingjie who was also unconscious.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.There are no monsters, no stench, green mountains and green waters, and the mansion is quiet and quiet.

As if aware of his gaze, Zhou Xingjie's eyelids moved and he woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Xingyu staring at him blankly, his eyes were dull, as if he hadn't recovered from what happened just now.

"Xingyu..." Zhou Xingjie's lips were dry and his voice was already hoarse.He stretched out his hand, wanting to comfort his younger brother, but as if he was jealous of something, his palm barely stopped in mid-air.

"Why did you lie to me?" Zhou Xingyu looked at him motionless, tears streaming down his cheeks, and suddenly shouted, "Why did you lie to me for so long?!"

Zhou Xingjie's whole body was stiff, his eyes flickered, he didn't know how to confess everything that happened during these days.But the next moment, he saw Zhou Xingyu rushing over and hugged him tightly.

"Liar! You are a big liar!" Zhou Xingyu cried loudly while hugging his brother. This was the most thorough venting of his emotions since he was born.
