Are you afraid?

After walking out of the closet, Nie Xi walked to the door with a dagger.

The grains of salt on the ground were the same as when he entered the door, without a single footprint.

Was everything he saw an illusion?

Nie Xi was confused.

He had already seen the second floor, and the last one was the small attic.That's where he met Incubus. How did Incubus exist here many years ago?

Nie Xi kept thinking about what would happen in the extremely critical place of the small attic, and he didn't even pay attention to the automatic closing of the master bedroom door behind him.

Walking up the stairs slowly, the scene of the small attic gradually appeared in front of Nie Xi.

First, the fairly new wooden floor, then the walnut cabinet in the corner, the altar covered with a white tablecloth and the copper goat's head nailed above it, and the glowing circular stained glass window directly opposite it .

Unexpectedly quiet.

Nie Xi stepped onto the floor of the attic and walked to the side of the altar table.

On the table was an empty lamp and some rotting plants in copper bowls.It's nothing special.

As for that goat's head on the wall.It was no different from the last time Nie Xi saw it.

Nie Xi also opened the drawers of the nearby cabinet one by one, and they were all empty.

There is only one last place left.

Nie Xi lay down on the ground and observed the marks on the floor.

He remembered that it was in this place that he broke it and found the necklace containing Incubus.His fingernails fumbled along the edge of the floor, and sure enough, he found a deeper gap.

Nie Xi inserted the silver knife in his hand into the gap in the floor and pried it up.

Nie Xi, who thought he could at least see the necklace, froze.

Nothing at all……

Why?Since the compartment exists, it means that this should also be the place to put the necklace. Why is there nothing in it?

Nie Xi straightened up and looked at the floor again.

If what is said in the diary is true, then this is the place where Marlene sacrificed.Who is Ma Lin offering sacrifices to? Is she just an ordinary Christian?Or... is it offering sacrifices to something else?

Nie Xi looked back at the sheep's head on the wall.

On the day he got the actual statue, he looked it over carefully.This sheep head is an ordinary solid bronze statue, and its back has been seen by myself. It has a smooth section and four fixed screw holes.

If there is no problem with the statue itself, but it is just a confuse, where is the real object of sacrifice?After all, the altar is here, and the object of sacrifice will not be too far away.Moreover, Marlene is a woman, if the thing is particularly large or difficult to move, it will be very difficult for her to move it, and judging from her frequent sacrifices, if there is a lot of movement, his grandfather will not go up to see it by accident.

Nie Xi picked up the lamps and bowls on the altar and looked carefully, and even touched the gaps around the sheep's head, but still found nothing.

where……

Nie Xi stared fixedly at the white tablecloth under his hand, and thought for a while.

Suddenly, Nie Xi's heart moved, he bent down and lifted the tablecloth.

There were four lonely table legs under the tablecloth. Even Nie Xi looked under the table board, and there was really nothing...

He really can't find it...

He couldn't figure out the breakthrough of this dream.

Is he going to go down with a knife and fight that woman who looks like his mother?

Nie Xi squatted at the corner of the table, thinking a little discouraged.

At this moment, the stairs leading to the attic sounded.There was a clicking sound, as if the owner of the high-heeled shoes was going upstairs briskly.

Nie Xi was thinking of fighting the other party, but the sudden appearance of this guy made him almost rush out.

But the other party's sudden words made him stop.

"You are too naughty, it's useless to hide, the door has been locked by me. You can't escape no matter what. I'm your mother, why don't you dare to look at me?"

……

Wait, those people who appear inexplicably in this house can talk. If the monster's mouth also has a lot of information, can he know what he wants to know in some way?

Nie Xi glanced at the space under the tablecloth.

Although it may seem impossible, it is worth a try.

Nie Xi slipped back under the table in an instant, put the table cloth back, and covered himself up.

Soon the sound of high heels came up.Sure enough, the monster that looked like his mother spoke again.

"I have searched in other places, you must be hiding here!"

"Why are you looking for me?" Nie Xi summoned up his courage and shouted.

The woman's footsteps suddenly stopped...

"who are you?"

He doesn't know who I am?Nie Xi thought in surprise.

"Then who are you looking for?" Nie Xi asked.

"I'm looking for my child..." the woman giggled. "Did you see him, very cute little boy, his eyes are still golden, it smells..." The woman sucked her saliva. "I like him so much. Get along with him."

Could it be that this woman is looking for her younger self?But the moment he entered the door, his young self also said that he wanted to play hide-and-seek with him, so his task was to find the child himself before the woman?

"I didn't see him either."

Nie Xi said.

"No, I have to see it myself to believe it!" After the woman finished speaking, the tablecloth in front of Nie Xi was suddenly lifted.

The scary face of the woman was directly opposite Nie Xi.

With great willpower, Nie Xi did not make the first move.

If they rashly enter the fighting state, will these people not be able to speak anymore?Information is too important to him.

"Ah..." The woman's mouth full of sharp teeth pouted, and she straightened her waist in dissatisfaction. "I'm really not here..."

Nie Xi stared at her closely, until the other party moved her steps, went downstairs little by little and disappeared.

Nie Xi got out of the table, stood by the railing of the stairs and looked down. The woman had gone nowhere.

too weird……

Ring Ring Ring... Ring Ring Ring...

Suddenly the phone rang loudly in this quiet house.The sharp voice made Nie Xi want to cover his ears.

He ran down the stairs, and the deafening sound stopped until he picked up the phone receiver in front of the coffee table in the living room.

"Hey?"

"Hehe, you finally answered the phone?" The other party smiled.

The other party's voice was very noisy. I don't know if it was because of the old phone or other reasons.

"Who are you?" Nie Xi asked.

But the other party continued talking on his own, as if he didn't hear Nie Xi's question.

"How come, I just haven't seen my old friend for a long time, and I want to hear your voice."

... Nie Xi was stunned for a while, and the other party continued.

"Boat ticket? I'm sorry, I really have no choice. You know, if your lamp is not broken, then I can give you a border gate, which is easier than giving you a boat ticket."

"What are the boat tickets for?" Nie Xi asked.

"I think it is very dangerous for you to go to the big cities now, and perhaps it is more appropriate to accept the protection I offer you."

"What protection?" Nie Xi asked unwillingly.

"Hey, your defensiveness is still so serious. Since I still can't gain your trust, then... I can only feel sorry." The other party hung up the phone suddenly as if he suddenly remembered something important. up.

Nie Xi also put down the phone inexplicably.

The living room was quiet again at this time, only the ticking of the swinging clock.

Nie Xi sat down on the Eight Immortals Chair and calmly cleared his mind.

Let's not talk about other nonsense in advance.For the time being, his purpose can be considered to be to find his younger self.But since the first time I entered the dream, I saw the other party say to come to him, and then I only heard a urging voice, and I never saw the child again.Moreover, he looked through all the rooms carefully, and there was no trace of the child.

In addition, the weird guy who looks like his mother is also looking for the child, and the other party is in the invisible mode, claiming that he has not found the child.

Where is that kid hiding?

In addition, meeting the people he met in the previous nightmares was reasonable, why did his grandparents' past appear in his dreams? It is impossible for him to have these things in his memory!

Was this his dream?

clang... clang... clang...

The ringing bell interrupted Nie Xi's meditation, and his eyes moved to the clock in the corner.

When entering his own dream, it was also done through the clock-like prop, and he was lying on the bed under the clock prop.

Come to think of it, there were six beds there.Before lying down, he was the only one on those beds, but what about after falling asleep?
