The high-cold character design collapsed again today [Unlimited]

Meng Shi smiled, with a look of "I knew you would be curious", took out a bone puppet from the pocket of his large coat, a bone puppet with only one black arm, and handed it to Ning Zishan: "This It's my bone puppet."

Ning Zishan stretched out his hand halfway, and stopped hesitantly. His mind was in a mess, he became tense for no reason, and even his breathing began to become short of breath. His intuition told him that if he took it, something bad would happen. things happen.

Meng Shixiang saw his hesitation, and without any explanation, he gave the bone puppet to Ning Zishan, but he couldn't help but refuse.

Ning Zishan had no choice but to withdraw his hand.

A porcelain-white bone puppet was no different from his own in terms of feel, shape, and weight, but when Ning Zishan saw its face, he was stunned—that bone puppet had no face!

Ning Zishan shook his hand, and the bone puppet in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Meng Shi said leisurely: "Brother Ke Xu didn't show you his bone puppet, did he? Does he always look like he's hiding it?"

Ning Zishan suddenly raised his head to look at Meng Shi, the boy opposite was still smiling, with short black hair, round eyes, and a childish face, it was Meng Shi he was familiar with, but the boy's eyes were cold and Those slightly mocking eyes, yet so strange.

"Because his bone puppet has no face like me... Do you know what this means?" Meng Shishi said slowly and clearly: "It means that he is like me, and we are destined to be inseparable." People of this world!"

Ning Zishan had never felt that the young man's voice was so piercing, like rough sandpaper grinding through the ear canal, making his temples throb and hurt.

"Even so, do you still want to be with him?" Meng Shixiao asked, "Are you willing to stay here forever for him?"

Ning Zishan got up suddenly, he didn't even hear what Meng Shi said in the last sentence, his mind went blank, as if even the most basic thinking ability had disappeared.

Ning Zishan has always believed in Ke Xu, and Ning Zishan never questioned what he didn't want to say, because he believed that Ke Xu would tell him at the right time, but this time, he couldn't continue to pretend that he didn't know. What was angry was not Ke Xu's concealment from himself, but because he felt cheated.

The kitchen door was pushed open from the outside, hitting the wall behind the door with a "squeak", which startled Ke Xu who was busy in front of the stove.

The man in the kitchen was standing tall, wearing a pair of gray cotton slippers on his feet, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to the crook of his arms, revealing two strong forearms, holding a spoon in one hand and a pot lid in the other, his waist He was wearing a sky blue cartoon apron around his body, his profile was clean and perfect, and the bluish-white light fell from above his head, haloing a halo of light on the top of his black hair, like a god.

The bright red soup was tumbling in the pot like blood, the spicy aroma filled every inch of the air, and the range hood was humming, everything seemed so vivid and clear.

That was the lover he got today, who was preparing dinner for him. What a warm scene, Ning Zishan's heart immediately softened, and his excitement suddenly calmed down.

Maybe Ke Xu is not like Meng Shi said at all, maybe this is just a prank Meng Shi played on himself.

Ke Xu looked at the door with a stunned expression for a moment, then smiled and said: "Are you hungry? Don't worry, it will be over soon."

Ning Zishan walked to Ke Xu's side, stretched out his hand to turn off the fire, and the boiling soup calmed down immediately, with a little white foam floating on the clear red oil.

Ke Xu looked at Ning Zishan puzzled.

Ning Zishan's Adam's apple moved, and he said, "I want to see your bone puppet."

Ke Xu put down the spoon and pot lid in his hand, turned around and circled Ning Zishan, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Although the other party concealed it very well, the flash of panic in his eyes did not escape Ning Zishan's eyes, and Ning Zishan's heart suddenly became cold. He pushed Ke Xu away and said, "You dare not show me the , is it because your bone puppet has no face?"

Ke Xu was taken aback.

"Looks like I won't be able to eat hot pot today." Meng Shi came out of the kitchen door at some point, looked at the two people whose atmosphere was almost freezing, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity, then I'll go back first , don’t bother you guys anymore, two brothers, don’t quarrel, bye—”

Open the door, close the door.

Meng Shi left, leaving only Ke Xu and Ning Zishan in the room, and the choking spicy smell in the air.

"What did Meng Shi tell you?" The smile on Ke Xu's face disappeared at some point, and even his voice became stiff: "He's just scaremongering, his words are not credible."

Ning Zishan nodded: "Okay, I don't believe him, so tell me, what does a bone puppet without a face represent?"

"I..." Ke Xu was at a loss for words, he had a lot of new excuses at this moment, but he swallowed them all in the end, he couldn't lie to Ning Zishan.

Ning Zishan gave a wry smile, stepped forward to get close to Ke Xu, stared at him, and repeated persistently: "I want to see your bone puppet."

In his eyes, Ke Xu saw anger, grievance, and deep disappointment.

What was supposed to come could not be avoided after all, but Ke Xu didn't expect this moment to come so soon and so suddenly. In the end, he compromised, untied his apron, nodded and said, "Okay, go to my room."

This is the first time Ning Zishan entered Ke Xu's room.

The moment the door was opened, what Ning Zishan saw was a very strange scene——

Half of the room is pure white, but the other half is the same as the old house seen in the mental hospital.

Tables and chairs with peeling paint, pure white sofa and coffee table; dirty and broken floor tiles, pure white as snow, spotless floor; mottled wall covered with unknown stains, pure white as if the wall has just been painted.

Two completely different styles, almost like a schizophrenic patient, coexist in Ke Xu's room.

Ke Xu walked to the coffee table, picked up his own bone puppet from above, and handed it to Ning Zishan.

——It was indeed a faceless bone puppet just like in Meng Shi's hand. It was supposed to be carved with irrelevant positions, but now it seemed to be polished, and it was so smooth that it was frightening.

"So what Meng Shi said is true?" Ning Zishan's hand holding the bone puppet trembled slightly due to excessive force: "If he doesn't tell me, how long are you going to keep it from me? Until I have collected enough 'colors' Leave? Or never tell me?"

"I don't know...Maybe, I won't tell this secret until you leave." Ke Xu said dejectedly: "This is why I don't want to accept you. I reject your feelings, and at the same time I am killing my own. Feelings, I like you, but I dare not like you."

Ning Zishan was puzzled: "But why are you with me now?"

"Because Mo Momo told me that life is short." Ke Xu looked at Ning Zishan, his eyes were full of pain: "So I thought, instead of making us all sad, it is better to seize the last time, even if it is just for a while. Happy memories are enough for me to reminisce in the long years to come."

"Ke Xu, you are too selfish." Ning Zishan shook his head disappointedly: "Whether we are not together or together, you are the one who makes the decision from the beginning to the end, why don't you ask me what I think, what I think? How do you feel? Isn’t falling in love just a matter of two people?”

"Okay, let me ask you." Ke Xu asked Ning Zishan the question he had asked Ning Zishan countless times in his heart in an unusually calm voice: "If I can't leave this world, would you like to stay with me?" ?”

"I won't stay." Ning Zishan gave this answer almost without thinking: "Because everything in this world is fake, I don't want to be locked in this cage-like place with you for the rest of my life, even if Your bone puppet is different from most people's, and you shouldn't give up hope, and you shouldn't lie to me, if you tell me, we can figure out a solution together!"

"What way?" Ke Xu's emotions suddenly became agitated: "I have done so many dungeons but I can't find a way!"

Ning Zishan couldn't help but raise his voice: "Then you can't just give up!"

"Okay..." Ke Xu nodded, and asked again: "Even if you can return to reality, can you guarantee that you will still like me?"

"I will." Ning Zishan softened his voice: "I will find you, no matter where you are, I will find you."

But Ke Xu changed his normal routine and asked in a very mean tone: "If I am a 80|[-]-year-old man, if I am a pervert or a criminal, if I am disabled or seriously ill, I can only lie in bed. Spend the rest of your life miserable on the bed, will you still like me?"

Ning Zishan was choked immediately, he never thought about these possibilities, because he saw a perfect Ke Xu now, so he subconsciously thought that Ke Xu was also a perfect person in reality.

But what if he wasn't?Will the huge gap between ideal and reality really not reduce his love for Ke Xu?Ning Zishan asked himself, but couldn't easily give an affirmative answer.

The hesitation and confusion on the opponent's face fell into Ke Xu's eyes exactly, like thorns, piercing his eyes sorely. After a while, he sneered and said to Ning Zishan: "If your wish is to leave Here, I will help you achieve it."

Such cold and desperate words, like a basin of ice water pouring down his head, completely froze Ning Zishan from the inside out.

"You don't have to say these words to deter me. No one can easily draw conclusions about the future." Ning Zishan looked up and stared at him: "If you really want to fulfill my wish, come back to reality with me, because From the moment I fell in love with you, my wish is to leave here with you."

Ke Xu was silent for a moment, and raised his hand to touch Ning Zishan's face. His hands were cold, and his eyes were also cold. With deep despair and loss, Ning Zishan's heart was pierced like an ice pick.

He said: "Zishan, you are always so naive and so cruel. You look at my room, you look at the dirty side that is opposed to pure white, you really think that returning to reality is happiness for me Is it?"

Ning Zishan didn't remember how he got back to his room. Today, he experienced the biggest waterloo in his life. He fell from heaven to hell without even the slightest warning.

He felt very tired, and Ke Xu was in a mess in his head. Until now, he suddenly realized that he didn't know Ke Xu at all. There was an insurmountable ridge between them, and everything before was just an ambiguity. illusion.

As if he didn't even have the strength to turn on the light, Ning Zishan threw himself heavily into the bed, the pillow seemed to still carry the smell of Ke Xu's body, the clear scent of plum blossoms made Ning Zishan's nose sour.

In the morning they were still lying on the bed hugging and kissing, but now there is nothing but a lingering fragrance.

Ning Zishan couldn't help but bury his head in the pillow, as if he could pretend that Ke Xu was still by his side, and the next moment he would reach out to touch his head and call him Zishan gently.

……

The wind blew across Ning Zishan's face, carrying a damp smell.

He opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of a European-style castle.

The outer wall of the castle is made of huge stone blocks, about four stories high, and the middle part is slightly shorter. It is a flat-roofed building. There are two closed curved wooden doors in the center, and the wooden doors are about three meters long. Tall, it looks very thick, with the totem of iris carved on it.

There is a circular tower on the part connected to the flat-roofed buildings on both sides, forming an "H" shape with the middle building. The dry creeper is crawling on the wall, making the castle look even more desolate and desolate.

The castle in front of him reminded Ning Zishan of the song "William Castle".

The place where he is standing now is probably a garden, but this garden is obviously not well taken care of. There are dry dark brown thorns and dry shrubs everywhere. There is a dry fountain in the middle of the garden. There should be an angel sculpture on the top of the fountain. But now it has been broken in half, and only two fat legs are still standing on the top of the fountain.

In the distance of the garden is a misty thick fog, and the edge cannot be seen.

The sky is dim yellow, as if a handful of sand has been sprinkled, and there is faint light shining through the windows of the old castle.

Here... no matter how you look at it, it looks like a copy, right?But Ning Zishan didn't plan to fall asleep tonight, why did he suddenly appear in the dungeon?

Just when he was wondering, an angry shout suddenly came from not far away: "Who are you?! Where is this place? Did you kidnap me while I was sleeping? Let me tell you, I have no money! Let me go back quickly, or I will call the police!"

Ning Zishan followed the prestige and saw a group of men and women gathered not far in front, about eight | nine people, among them was a middle-aged man wearing silk pajamas, with a big belly and a Mediterranean sea on his head. hairstyle, dancing and pointing at others and yelling at others, beside him was a girl with short hair who couldn't stop sobbing.

As if annoyed by middle-aged men, one of the boys in sportswear couldn't help but choked: "I told you that this is the world of dreams, who the hell cares about your stinky money, I don't believe it Let's go! No one is stopping you!"

"That's what you said!" Mediterranean snorted arrogantly, turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the castle.

Ning Zishan felt that choking voice was very familiar, and upon closer inspection, the boy was actually Meng Shi!

Meng Shi obviously also saw Ning Zishan, and waved to him excitedly: "Brother Ning!"

To be honest, seeing Meng Shi at this time, Ning Zishan felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to face this young man. He chose the time to tell him all that, which made Ning Zishan start to doubt this seemingly What is the purpose of this naive, yet cruel boy.

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were on their faces, with curiosity and scrutiny.

There will indeed be some players who team up to enter the dungeon here, but if they don’t trust each other, most of them would rather go through the dungeon alone. After all, “color” can be robbed, and you can’t guarantee that they will share the same bed with you Will this person take away your "color" at a certain time.

And the possibility of two acquaintances randomly entering a dungeon is extremely slim.

Unfortunately, in the short dream life that Ning Zishan experienced, this kind of tiny coincidence happened to him twice.

——If all this is really just a coincidence.

"Why are you here?" Ning Zishan stepped forward and asked Meng Shi.

"I don't know either." Meng Shi scratched his head with a confused look on his face: "I went to eat something after I left your room, then went back to sleep, and ended up here as soon as I opened my eyes."

After speaking, he showed a guilty look for doing something wrong again, and asked Ning Zishan: "Brother Ning, why are you here? Are you and Brother Ke Xu okay?"

Ning Zishan deliberately avoided answering the second question, but said, "I also came here after I fell asleep."

At this moment, from the dense fog behind everyone, there was a miserable howl from the Mediterranean Sea. Soon, Mediterranean Sea, who had just clamored to call the police to leave, clutched one arm and stumbled out of the dense fog with a face full of horror. out.

Ning Zishan saw blood gushing out from between the fingers where he was covering his arm.

When everyone saw the Mediterranean fleeing back in embarrassment, they all showed expressions of gloating, and even the sobbing girl was so shocked that she forgot to cry.

"Damn it!" Hai Hai began to yell as soon as he returned to the crowd: "What the hell is this place! The thorns in that fog can actually move! Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would be hanged inside! "

Said Hai Hai let go of his hand, looked at the wound on his arm, Ning Zishan saw a circle of blood holes on his upper arm, it looked deep, but not much blood, it looked like hot iron It was as if he had been stabbed with a stick, and Mediterranean's expression was obviously not in the pain of serious injury, but he grinned a little.

Meng Shi said sarcastic words from the side: "Don't you want to leave? Why are you back again?"

Mediterranean stared at him embarrassingly, but didn't speak.

Ning Zishan stepped forward and asked him, "Your injury looks a bit serious, doesn't it hurt?"

Hearing what he said, Hai Hai showed a puzzled expression on his face and said: "It just looks a little scary, and it doesn't seem to hurt at all, just like being bitten by a bug."

Ning Zishan nodded: "It's better to find some medicine to bandage after entering."

Perhaps Ning Zishan was the only one who showed concern for himself, and Hai Hai couldn't help softening his attitude when facing him, and introduced himself: "My name is Bao Haolong, and I am in the business of famous watches. If you want to buy watches in the future, come to me. I'll give you a discount."

Ning Zishan nodded and said, "My name is Ning Zishan."

Meng Shi pulled him from behind: "Brother Ning, don't talk to that kind of person, it's easy to lose your wits."

As soon as the words fell, the two huge arched wooden doors of the ancient castle were finally opened from the inside. A burly woman in a black and white maid outfit came out from the door, saluted everyone, and then said with a very rough expression. The voice said: "Dear guests have been waiting for a long time, we have prepared delicious food in the restaurant, please follow me."

There are a total of ten players entering the dungeon this time, six men and four women.

Passing through the gate, the first thing you enter is an empty hall. The hall has a high dome, and a huge crystal lamp hangs from the top, but at this moment the candles above are not lit, only the wall lamps on the wall are playing the role of lighting.

There is a huge oil painting on the wall directly opposite the gate, which depicts a family of three, who should be the owner of the castle.

This family has brilliant blond hair and blue eyes, and the whole family looks very handsome, but I don't know if it's because of some other materials added to the paint, or because of the light, Ning Zishan always feels that no matter what Wherever he went, those three pairs of eyes would fall on him at different angles, as if he was alive.

Passing through the empty hall, everyone finally arrived at the resplendent restaurant.

The golden columns, red velvet curtains, light golden rose wallpaper, candlesticks on the walls and the huge crystal chandelier on the top make the whole restaurant full of a sense of luxury that is completely different from the outside of the castle. The long dining table The red tablecloth is neatly arranged with flowers, candlesticks, dinner plates, knives and forks and napkins.

"Everyone, please take your seats." The maid said loudly, "Miss Angela will be there soon."

After looking at each other, everyone found a place to sit down. Ning Zishan and Meng Shi sat together, and Bao Haolong sat on the other side of Ning Zishan.

After taking his seat, Bao Haolong raised his hand and said to the maid: "My arm is injured, do you have a doctor here?"

Hearing the words, the maid strode to Bao Haolong, and Bao Haolong showed her the wound on his arm. Ning Zishan also subconsciously looked at Bao Haolong, only to see that the wound on his arm seemed to be darker than before. , Even the blood on the wound was a little black.

After a long while, the maid said coldly: "There is no doctor here, but I will call someone to bandage the medicine for the husband, please wait a moment."

Not long after finishing speaking, another maid brought a medicine box to help Bao Haolong bandage his wound.

At the same time, from another door, a cute little girl with blond hair and blue eyes wearing a gorgeous red tutu skirt came out.

It was the child in the painting in the hall.

The little girl looks to be around ten years old, her small face is as white as a freshly peeled boiled egg, her lips are redder than the roses on the table, and the golden curly hair on her shoulders follows her steps. Swaying, like jumping sunlight.

A child who was as perfect as a doll gave Ning Zishan a very subtle but indescribable feeling.

She went straight to the position of the guest of honor, climbed up to the seat and sat down, scanned the people sitting with a pair of blue eyes, and finally landed on Ning Zishan's face, showing a very satisfied smile, and knocked on the door. Ring the golden dinner bell in front of you.

It seems that this little girl is the Miss Angela that the maid said. No one expected that the main NPC this time is actually a child.

After a while, servants filed in from outside the door and served dinner for everyone.

Soon Ning Zishan was filled with all kinds of food. He has never liked western food, especially when he saw the half-cooked steak with bloodshot eyes, he felt bad.

Looking at the other old players at the dining table, their expressions were not very good looking either.

The maid stood beside Angela, like a burly statue, she helped her fold the napkin, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, please have dinner."

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Angela held the knife and fork on the table with her small hands, and began to skillfully cut the plate of bloodshot steak.

Ning Zishan saw her cut the beef into small pieces, put it into her mouth with a fork, and seemed to swallow it without chewing. The bright red mouth became more colorful because of the blood on the steak, which made Ning Zishan have no reason. Feeling a chill, he hurriedly looked away.

"Brother Ning, don't you want to eat?" Meng Shi looked at him worriedly, and whispered, "Your condition doesn't seem to be very good."

"Well... I'm fine." Ning Zishan said, pushing the steak away from his face, reaching out to pick up a piece of bread and slowly putting it into his mouth.

Although Angela doesn't look big, her appetite is not small. Everyone has almost eaten, and she is still sending all kinds of food to her mouth, and no matter what she eats, she doesn't seem to need to chew it, and it is like a machine. Swallow in the stomach.

This time, not only Ning Zishan, but even the other players looked at her with a look of fear.

After Angela swallowed the last bite of food before her, she picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, then stood up from the chair.

The maid said again: "Dear guests have been exhausted all the way, and then I will take you upstairs to the guest room to rest." She made a gesture of invitation in the direction of the door that everyone entered before and said: "Everyone, please .”

Angela lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted everyone, then walked through the door she had come in.

Passing through the empty hall again and passing through another half-open wooden door, everyone was led by the maid into the tower on the right side of the castle.

The spiral staircase spirals upwards, and huge shadows fall one after another. The interlacing of light and dark makes this upward path look like a twisted intestine of a devil.

Everyone followed the maid in silence to the second floor. There were five doors on each side of the wall, which could accommodate ten people. There were also candlesticks lighting the corridor between the doors.

Although this is a circular building, but because it is too huge, the walls on both sides can't see any curvature. There is a small door at the end of the corridor, and the door is locked. Judging from the position of the door and the height they are at Looking at it, the door should be directly above the hall and restaurant, and if the door is opened, they should be able to go through that door to the tower on the left.

"The rooms here can be allocated freely, please rest well tonight." The maid said, and added: "Miss Angela doesn't like noise, so I hope you don't walk around or make loud noises at night."

After the maid finished speaking, she bowed to everyone: "I wish you all a good dream tonight."

After the maid left, everyone began to choose rooms. Meng Shila stayed with Ning Zishan, walked to the door of the two innermost rooms on the right side of the corridor, pointed to the outer one and said to Ning Zishan, "Brother Ning, you sleep in this room. Sleeping next to you, if there is anything at night we can take care of each other."

Ning Zishan nodded.

Bao Haolong seemed to really like Ning Zishan. After Meng Shi had chosen a room for Ning Zishan, he then chose the room next to Ning Zishan.

Afterwards, the other seven people also allocated rooms. After brief introductions to each other, they dispersed in the corridor and went back to their rooms.

The guest room in the castle is very ornately decorated, with thick carpets on the floor, a large carved bed with royal blue curtains, golden red curtains, a large wardrobe and a gorgeous dressing table.

Ning Zishan walked to the window, opened the curtains and took a look. In the twilight of the sky, he could vaguely see the garden full of thorns and the endless gray fog around the garden.

He drew the curtains and opened the closet, which contained a lot of well-made and flamboyant clothes, both men's and women's.

Ning Zishan roughly checked and made sure there were no hidden compartments in the closet, then closed the closet and went back to the bed.

Just as he was about to check the bed, someone knocked on his door suddenly.

Ning Zishan opened the door and found a thin and small man standing outside the door. He remembered that the man was named Yuwen Guoan, and he was a guy whose appearance and name were seriously inconsistent.

"Is there something wrong?" Ning Zishan didn't open the door completely, but asked through a crack in the door.

"That..." Yuwen Guoan seemed a little embarrassed, and said coyly, "Can I change rooms with you?"

Ning Zishan frowned, and Yuwen Guoan quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, my room is opposite to yours. I was almost drowned when I was a child, and then I suffered from a serious fear of water. What do I usually wash my face? Although there is no problem, if I see a swimming pool, a lake or even a bathtub, it will make me feel very anxious and panic, but the window of the opposite room faces a lake, and living in it is really a big torture for me, so I hope You can change rooms with me."

Ning Zishan looked him up and down, and then asked, "Why didn't you find someone else but me?"

"I've found it!" Yuwen Guoan said with a tormented and weak look, "but no one else wants to change rooms with me."

Ning Zishan thought for a while, and felt that his appearance was not pretending, and then he walked out of the room and said, "I can change rooms with you, but you have to ask me to check your room first."

"Thank you, thank you..." Yuwen Guoan hurriedly nodded his thanks, opened the door of his room, and let Ning Zishan in.

Just when he was about to close the door, Ning Zishan stopped him: "Just keep the door open."

Hearing this, Yuwen Guoan withdrew his hand that was about to close the door.

This room is no different from my previous room. The furniture and furnishings are all exactly the same. Ning Zishan opened the curtains, and sure enough, he saw a huge lake underneath. There is still mist on the surface of the lake, like a deep giant eye in the dark night , was watching every move in the castle.

After carefully inspecting the room and making sure there was nothing wrong, Ning Zishan and Yuwen Guoan changed rooms.

Thanking Yuwen Guoan for his gratitude, he walked into the opposite side and closed the door.

After a brief wash, Ning Zishan climbed onto the big soft bed, thinking that when Meng Shi found out that he had actually changed rooms with someone else tomorrow morning, he might lose his temper again.

Finding a comfortable position on the bed and curling himself up, Ning Zishan couldn't help but think of Ke Xu. Although he didn't know why he suddenly fell into a dream, this was indeed the first time he left Ke Xu and entered the dungeon alone. For the two who have just experienced a quarrel, this brief separation may not be a bad thing. They need time to calm down and think about how this relationship should go on.

Just thinking about some messy things like this, Ning Zishan fell asleep in a daze.

"Da, da..." There were footsteps coming from the corridor. The sound was very soft. Normally, the sleeping Ning Zishan would have ignored it. But tonight, for some reason, maybe it was because Ke Xu was not around this time. , made Ning Zishan's nerves very sensitive, so when the sound of footsteps sounded in the corridor, Ning Zishan woke up with a jerk.

"Dong dong..." There were two knocks on the door lightly from outside. From the direction of the sound, it seemed that the room next door was being knocked.

It's so late, who's knocking on the door?

Ning Zishan's nerves immediately tensed up. He buried his head in the quilt, only his eyes were exposed, and he stared at the direction of his door in the darkness.

The thing knocked on the door next door, then suddenly stopped moving, as if waiting for a response.

There was silence in the corridor for about five seconds, and Ning Zishan heard the footsteps moving to Meng Shi's room opposite.

"Dong dong..." There were two more knocks on the door, but there was still no response.

Ning Zishan heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, Ning Zishan heard footsteps stop outside his door.

His heart was pulled again at once, this thing outside the door, is it going to knock on all ten doors one by one?If someone opens the door halfway, what will you see?

But in such a weird situation, no one would be stupid enough to open the door, right?

As soon as Ning Zishan thought of this, "Boom..." There was a knock on his door.

Knocking on one's own door and being knocked on someone else's door sounded like two completely different feelings. For some reason, Ning Zishan suddenly remembered what the maid had said before she left, and subconsciously held her breath.

"Dang-dang-dang-"

At this moment, a bell suddenly rang outside. The sound was no less than a thunderbolt in the silent night. Ning Zishan, who was already highly nervous, jumped. Listening carefully, Ning Zishan found that the bell The sound seemed to come from the opposite side, that is, from the room I was in at the beginning.

Why is there a clock in that room?Ning Zishan remembered that he checked the room carefully and found no clock at all.

No, when he was about to check the bed, Yuwen Guoan knocked on his door and asked to change rooms.

Thinking of this, Ning Zishan couldn't help but feel horrified.

However, before he had time to think about it, there was a sudden scream from the opposite room, and then everything returned to calm.

After a long time, Ning Zishan heard the footsteps coming out of the opposite room again. Compared with the time when he came, the footsteps were obviously much lighter, and soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The next morning Ning Zishan was awakened by a scream.

Then he heard Meng Shi's crying voice: "Brother Ning! Brother Ning! Brother Ning, you can't die!"

Ning Zishan's sluggish brain went cold for two seconds, and then he remembered the voice he heard last night, hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door and walked out.

The door of the opposite room was wide open, there was a circle of people around the door, and there was a faint smell of blood in the corridor.

Meng Shi was still howling Ning Ge Ning Ge in the room, Ning Zishan squeezed forward, and shouted to the boy in the room who was lying on the bedside and kept howling: "Hey, don't cry, I'm here."

The dry howling stopped abruptly, Meng Shiyi turned around in shock, and looked at Ning Zishan by the door with a look of seeing a ghost, while the other people around the door also looked at him in disbelief.

Meng Shi was stunned for a full three seconds, then jumped up suddenly, flew towards Ning Zishan at a speed of sprinting [-] meters, grabbed Ning Zishan's arm, pinched it back and forth, and said incoherently: "Brother Ning! You are not dead! Why are you not dead? If you are not dead, who is that person in your room?"

Ning Zishan slapped his paw away: "Do you wish it was me who died?"

Meng Shi repeatedly waved his hands: "No, no, no! I don't want you to die!"

Only then did Ning Zishan snort, "The one who died should be Yuwen Guoan."

At this time, a girl in the crowd said, "Did you change rooms with him?"

Ning Zishan nodded.

"He also came to ask me to change rooms yesterday." The girl said, "But I didn't agree."

Then another man also said: "He also looked for me, but I didn't agree."

"You're lucky. If you didn't change rooms with him, you might be the one whose corpse was watched today."

Hearing the sound, Ning Zishan realized that besides Meng Shi, there was a tall and thin man in the room, who was half lying on the ground at the moment, and drew out a rectangular object from under the bed with his hands, precisely because he was half lying on his stomach. Ning Zishan didn't notice him until now.

Ning Zishan remembered that this man's name was Tian Shao.

Ning Zishan walked into the room and saw that the rectangular object he just got out from under the bed turned out to be a clock, and it was an old-fashioned wind-up clock, which seemed to have stopped for a long time. The hour, minute and second hands all stopped at the twelve o'clock position .

So the bell that was heard last night was from this bell?But the clock that has stopped, can it still ring?

While Ning Zishan was thinking this way, he turned his eyes away.
