Are you afraid?

The two did not find anything of value on the first floor, and also went up the stairs.

There are only two rooms on the second floor of this duplex building, one is Xu Yuan's study room, which has a slanted skylight, which looks very beautiful, and the other is Xu Yuan's bedroom, which is filled with many girls' things. thing.

Xu Yuan sat on the red sofa flipping through a book, and didn't care about the white powder that fell all over the floor as the two big wings squeezed against the wall.

Nie Xi went over to look and found that it was a photo album.There are many photos of Xu Yuan when she was a human being. At that time, she looked like a girl who loved to laugh.There are also a few photos of her and her father together in the back. Although Principal Xu is serious, but at least they took pictures together.

There weren't many photos, so I finished flipping through them quickly, but Nie Xi always felt that something was wrong.

Lu Jiping was obviously not interested in the girl's concerns. Instead of looking at the photo album together, he went directly to search other places in Xu Yuan's bedroom.It's not good for Nie Xi to ask him to come and take a look. It's not good if he seems too deliberately to arouse Xu Yuan's disgust.

……

"I saw a family portrait in the study downstairs, do you want to take it with you?" Nie Xi asked.

Xu Yuan seemed to have just remembered that there was such a thing.She shook Feiyu.

"Well... I was still regretting that I didn't have a photo with my parents."

Nie Xi realized something was wrong at this moment. Principal Xu and Mrs. Xu should have only one daughter, Xu Yuan, and according to Xu Yuan, her mother has a good personality, so why didn't Mrs. Xu take pictures with her daughter?

Taking a suspicious look at Xu Yuan's hairy head, Nie Xi softly took the photo album from Xu Yuan, and went through it carefully from the beginning.

no……

There really isn't a single photo with his mother, and Nie Xi has a new discovery.

Xu Yuan in all the photos is of the same age.

A strange feeling chilled Nie Xi's back.

He slowly turned his head to look at Xu Yuan.

The other party's pure black pupils also looked at him, and the flying feathers hung on both sides of his cheeks, as if innocent.

Xu Yuan has promised to sign an employment contract with herself, but because he lacks the contract paper, he has not signed it yet.

The addiction to blood does not necessarily have to be done for oneself to obtain it.For example, if the other party suddenly attacks at a certain critical moment, and keeps him in this dungeon...

"Do you have any other albums?" Nie Xi asked his own question carefully.He felt that there was some secret that Xu Yuan had forgotten, and if he exposed it rashly, the consequences were unknown.

"No more." Xu Yuan took the photo album back from Nie Xi's hand, and put it in a small schoolbag cherished.

"This house looks like it's newly renovated. You've just moved in here not long ago, right?" Nie Xi asked casually.

"That's right, we have only lived in this house for four years, and we moved to the school, which is a pity." Xu Yuan touched her beautiful white desk with emotion, as if feeling sorry for the furniture.

before?Where did the family live four years ago?It stands to reason that Xu Yuan looks seventeen or eighteen years old, and the memory of four years of residence is definitely not as good as the memory of the previous 13 years.Why didn't she even think about the residence where she lived longer?

"Since we got the things, let's go down and take the family portrait and leave."

Nie Xi felt that Xu Yuan's origins had to be thoroughly investigated.Of course, the premise is to avoid the opponent.

Xu Yuan nodded and hung her schoolbag on her chest.They followed Nie Xi and went downstairs to the study to get the photos.

When she saw the scorched marks on her mother's face in the family photo, Xu Yuan paused for a moment with the hand holding the photo frame.

"It's a bit of a pity. The photo is a bit damaged, too."

Nie Xi nervously looked at Xu Yuan's expression, although this face was nothing like a human being, it was difficult to express the emotions of a normal person.

"I... seem to remember, I broke this?" Xu Yuan raised her head and glanced at Nie Xi blankly. "It seems that there are still some things I forgot..."

"It's okay, it's over anyway." Nie Xi explained.

Xu Yuan nodded obediently, and stuffed the family photo frame into the backpack on her chest.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door on the first floor.

Nie Xi subconsciously turned off the flashlight.look out the window.

Downstairs, Wei Wei sat on a bench with those bugs, seemingly in peace.

"I gonna go see."

Lu Jiping had already reached the door at this time.He turned off the flashlight and pushed aside a small piece of the silk wire covering the peephole on the door.

"Who?"

Nie Xi asked.

……

Lu Jiping didn't lean against the door, but turned his head sideways and glanced out quickly.

"……no one"

"Are you leaving or are you hiding by the door?" Nie Xi asked.

Lu Jiping moved away from the door and shook his head slightly.

"I don't know, I can't see it here."

At this time the door was knocked again.

This time Lu Jiping quickly stretched his head to take a look.

"Still no one!"

"Let's leave soon." Nie Xi said.

No matter who's behind the door, that's the end of the house for now.

Three people climbed out of the window they came from, first Lu Jiping, then Xu Yuan, and finally Nie Xi.

At this time, the knocked door was slammed open, and a gust of wind swept in. Nie Xi, who was blown by the window, almost lost his balance and fell.

At this time, in the seemingly empty room, a heavy force grabbed Nie Xi's ankle which was still inside the room, and some fine stinging pain came from the place where he was grabbed.

"Quick, pull me out!" Nie Xi shouted.Kicking at what was grabbing him with the other leg.

At this time, Lu Jiping grabbed Nie Xi's arm and dragged him out together with Xu Yuan.

The guy who caught Nie Xi soon let go, and they managed to get away from this weird house without much tossing.

Nie Xi took a flashlight to look into the room, and found that only the door was dangling back and forth with a broken silk thread, and the room still seemed empty.

"Let's go!" Lu Jiping ran downstairs, calling Wei Wei, who was still sitting still, to get up.

After running away for more than ten minutes, he crossed several alleys several times.Guessing that nothing was catching up, a few people smashed into a shop that looked clean along the street and went in to rest.

This time Nie Xi watched Xu Yuan block the door with silk thread again, and his mood was completely different from before.

Instead of feeling safe and relaxed, he was filled with doubts.

Lu Jiping arranged for Wei Wei, and came to talk to Nie Xi with a sullen expression on his face.

"Hey, it seems that you are still doing the right thing. It may be a good thing to insist on not taking medicine for the task target. You see, after your task target triggers the event, there seems to be no trouble. Unlike me, it was very convenient at first Yes, now he is dumb and stupid, and he has to call him first when he does anything, and it’s no good if he wants to gain favorability and hatred, it’s just a drag."

Nie Xi didn't answer this question. Instead, he took a bottle of beer on the shelf next to it, checked that it hadn't expired and was sealed well, handed a bottle to Lu Jiping, and then asked Xu Yuan.

"Can you drink?"

"Liquids are fine." After Xu Yuan finished speaking, Nie Xi opened a bottle and handed it to her.

After drinking in one gulp to quench his thirst, Nie Xi stood up and said that he wanted to make it easier, and went to the toilet behind the shop alone.

This is a small independent room. Nie Xi noticed that the doors and windows were closed and there were no weird gaps around, so he bent down and pulled up his trousers.

The ankle that was grabbed just now had a circle of bruises, and on top of the bruises, there was a scar that looked like it was cut by a sawgrass blade.

Nie Xi turned on the flashlight and took a closer look.

【She, go, I, protect, protect, you】

These words are really ugly, crooked, and written on his leg!

……

Nie Xi put down his trousers, leaned against the wall and thought.

Who is this invisible man?Is it only after Xu Yuan leaves that he will come?

Nie Xi didn't know if that strange guy was following him. If it was kind, then he should still have a conversation with him.

The main problem now was Xu Yuan, he had to find a way to make her leave for a while.Whether it was that Mr. Transparent or they went to Principal Xu’s house again, she couldn’t be there.

Although Lu Jiping was not completely trustworthy, they should be in the same position regarding Xu Yuan.So after coming out of the toilet, Nie Xi secretly handed the [Insect Lamp] to Lu Jiping.

The other party quickly understood what he meant.He also gave Nie Xi the props that can climb the outer wall. Although the two did not talk, they already knew what to do next.

After resting for a while, Lu Jiping quietly released the [Insect Lamp].As expected, Xu Yuan and the insects she planted kept their eyes firmly on the lamp, and Nie Xi took this opportunity to embark on a journey alone again...

I didn't feel it before, but now walking alone in such a deserted neighborhood, Nie Xi feels a deep sense of unease.

Nie Xi knew that this was not his illusion, just like before at school, he always felt that someone was watching him, because every plant might have eyes.And here... Although it may not be a plant, there must be something watching him behind those dark windows.

Once again couldn't help but look back at the empty alley, Nie Xi resisted with great willpower not to look in from those windows.

Lu Jiping had warned him that there was nothing good inside, since those things would not come out, after he had seen them, he might have added troubles to himself, so it was better to pretend that he didn't know.

Back under the building, Nie Xi looked up and saw inside the glass window they shattered earlier, those broken silk threads were floating in the air strand by strand, blown by the draft.

The sky here is not blue, under the gray color, such a dilapidated scene makes people feel depressing.

It looked like the door to that room should still be open.Will something else go in?

Nie Xi took a deep breath and began to climb up.

Why is it said that curiosity is human nature? When Nie Xi approached the window that Lu Jiping had seen, although he kept telling himself not to look at it, he couldn't help but look there.

He thought to himself, isn't it just a glance?
