Jingcheng and the housekeeper died in the fire.

The maid hanged herself because of guilt.

Awei was hit and killed by Jingtang's creature.

As for the first task card, why the black cat always barks at the attic at night is because this is the boundary point of the mansion's time cycle, and there is something here that controls the stillness and repetition of time.

Lu Xi looked at the clock that stopped rotating in the sea of ​​flames, and suddenly the hands trembled, and then the three hands moved quickly again, but this time they turned counterclockwise, and soon everything in front of him changed rapidly, and the raging fire seemed to be The fading tide disappeared into the attic, and the blackened walls, burnt bookshelves, books and photos turned into ashes were all restored to their original state visible to the naked eye.

This place is rapidly regressing back to what it was 24 hours ago.

Soon yesterday's time will start again.

Lu Xi walked to the desk, pulled out the chair below, and smashed down on the outer frame of the clock. With a bang, the glass covering the outside shattered to the ground. , until the piece of red jade in the middle was smashed to pieces, the whole clock finally stopped.

Everything here is no longer restored to the original state, and the brand-new mansion finally revealed its dilapidated and dilapidated true colors, but soon, the whole mansion began to shake violently, the rotten bricks on the wall above the head began to fall continuously, and the furniture and furniture collapsed. The wall seemed to bury everything here.

Lu Xi hurriedly ran out from the door of the attic, but when he fled to the second floor, he found that the light in Jingtang's room was still on. He paused as he was about to run downstairs, but turned back quickly.

When she ran into the room, Jingtang was still reading a French novel in a wheelchair, completely ignoring the stones falling from her head.

Lu Xi was helpless, "This place is about to collapse, don't you know how to hide outside?"

He bent down and was about to hug Jingtang, but stopped following the other's next words.

Jingtang looked at him: "The clock on the attic is one with this mansion. This is a deal between me and it. It came to stop time, and I will stay here to guard the mansion forever. Now that it's gone, I can't exist either. "

Stared at by those blue eyes, Lu Xi didn't react for a while, and murmured: "Can't exist... what do you mean?"

Jingtang closed the book in her hand: "If you want to live together, you must die together. It won't let me leave here. This place will disappear soon, don't worry about me, you can go by yourself."

Lu Xi didn't believe it, "Why can't you leave, I'll take you away." As soon as he picked up Jingtang on his back, he ran out, but when he ran to the door, Lu Xi vaguely felt a force pulling him back His body, won't let him leave this room.

Lu Xi could only free one hand to grab the door frame and pull it out, but the gravitational force here seemed to be too strong, like a magnet attracting Jingtang behind him.

Looking at the beads of sweat dripping down on Lu Xi's forehead, Jingtang suddenly didn't understand, "You obviously don't like me, why are you still pretending?"

When Lu Xi heard his words, the prominent veins on his forehead jumped, and now he still has the mood to say these things are useless.

Lu Xi gritted her teeth and walked out, smiling: "Yeah, I also want to ask you, you obviously like me, why do you pretend to be dead, can you kill me if you like me?"

Jingtang lay on his back and didn't speak any more.

At this time, there was a click on the top of the head, and the load-bearing beam fell down with the collapsed ceiling. Seeing that the large cement board was about to hit the top of the head, Lu Xi pushed Jingtang on his back and lay forward. Although he avoided his head, It was still pierced through the left shoulder by a steel bar.

Jingtang was pushed to the ground. Because the wall clock was broken, he could no longer move freely with his current strength. He could only slowly crawl from under the collapsed cement slab to Lu Xi's side. He saw Lu Xi fell face down on the ground, A half-meter-long steel bar was inserted straight into his shoulder, and the blood oozing from below had stained the surrounding carpet red.

This scene made his pupils dilate continuously, and the scene of seeing the capital submerged in the raging fire seemed to reappear before his eyes that day.

There were more and more stones falling around, but he completely lost the consciousness of dodging. He just looked at Lu Xi's direction, dragged his lower body, and crawled over inch by inch with difficulty, his smashed face was dripping with blood. .

He helped Lu Xi up and held her tightly in his arms, but the man was already out of breath.

He put his head on Lu Xi's chest, a kind of intense grief swept over his entire consciousness, as if he had never felt so painful: "I'm sorry...I like you..."

It's a pity he can't hear it anymore.

After a while, Jingtang only felt the person in his arms move suddenly, Lu Xi slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand with difficulty, and touched Jingtang's blood-smeared face: "It's okay. I like you too, Bastard."

The two looked at each other, Jingtang didn't deny it for the first time, he lifted Lu Xi's face and suddenly smiled.

There was no sarcasm or conspiracy in that smile, but joy and happiness from the heart.

But soon, Lu Xi lost consciousness again, and his body became cold with the loss of blood, Jingtang's smile froze on his face, he hugged Lu Xi tightly in his arms, and tried to climb out of here again and again, but He couldn't even stick his hands out of the room, let alone take Lu Xi away with him.

Looking at the exit that was gradually blocked by stones outside the door, he hugged Lu Xi and let out a burst of mourning.

This was the first time he wanted to protect someone so much. Four years ago he couldn't protect the capital, and four years later he still couldn't protect Lu Xi.Why is he always so powerless...

Jingtang hugged Lu Xi, and tried to bend his legs and kneel on the floor, but the binding force in this room kept restricting his movements.

Finally he knelt up with difficulty, his fingertips sank deep into the blanket under his body, and bright red blood flowed continuously around his nails. The moment Jingtang hugged Lu Xi and stood up completely, his feet were completely covered with blood from his body. Dyed deep red.

Every time he took a step outside, some kind of force in the room would cut a wound on him. When he took Lu Xi's last step outside the gate of the mansion, Jingtang completely collapsed, With the collapse of the ancient castle behind him, his body also quickly dissolved into a dandelion-like white streamer and dissipated in the air.

He struggled to take out Lu Xi's mobile phone, and dialed the police number with his only remaining hand. Unfortunately, when the call was connected, his mouth had already melted, and he could only watch the phone fall off from his disappearing hand. An anxious voice came.

Lu Xi fell not far away, a tear rolled down his cheek.

Why, kissing in a dream is bitter...

20, 20

When Lu Xi woke up, he was surrounded by white walls filled with the smell of disinfectant. He looked down at the gauze wrapped around his left shoulder and thought that the bone must be broken, but he didn't expect that other than a dull pain when he moved his upper body, there was nothing serious about it.

The nurse at the hospital changed his dressing and told Lu Xi that he had only suffered a minor trauma, and that the coma was anemic shock caused by hunger and excessive exercise, and that he would be discharged within a few days if he was well adjusted.

Anemic shock?

Lu Xi looked at the snow-white ceiling and was still a little dazed. He remembered that in the mansion, the steel bar clearly penetrated his shoulder, but now it was only a slight trauma.

Apart from Jingtang, Lu Xi couldn't think of a second possibility.

This idiot, even thinking of helping him heal his injuries when he was about to die.

Not long after, Jiang's family rushed to the hospital after receiving the news.

Looking at the emaciated Lu Xi lying on the bed, the whole family's face was full of guilt. Amidst their earnest greetings, Lu Xi only asked: "Can you lend me your mobile phone? I want to make a call. "

The eldest brother standing by the bed was stunned for a moment, and quickly handed him the phone.

Lu Xi called the Central Hospital, and when he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse unconsciously: "Excuse me, Jingtang, is he still there?"

After asking about Lu Xi's identity, the other party informed, "Sorry, the patient left last night. What can I do?"

After a long time, I heard Lu Xi's answer on the phone.

Lu Xi: "...OK, thank you."

Lu Xi returned the mobile phone to her eldest brother, and slammed her powerless hand on the edge of the bed, causing the whole family to gasp in fright.

Jiang's mother choked up and held Lu Xi's hand, "Xiaohan, don't be like this, you feel bad for your mother, this is your family, if you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart, okay?"

Lu Xi raised his other hand to cover his eyes, and the corners of his chapped lips curled up, "It's okay, Mom, I'm just tired, you don't have to accompany me, you all go back, I want to sleep."

"Little Han..."

Jiang's father behind him patted Jiang's mother with tears in his eyes. Everyone gestured to each other with their eyes and left the ward in a low voice.

After the ward was quiet again, Lu Xi slowly curled up her body, holding the pillow above her head with both hands, loosening it again and again, and clenching it tightly again and again.He desperately needed to grab something, but no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.

Why does his chest hurt so much, as if a hand reached into his chest and crushed his heart.

There were intermittent choking sounds from under the quilt, and the door of the ward slowly opened with a creak...

One hand lifted Lu Xi's quilt, the sudden light made Lu Xi's pupils constrict for a while, he looked up at the person standing by the bed, his eyes slowly widened to an unbelievable degree.

The young man in front of him smiled and touched his face, "Why are you so happy?" Touching the wet marks on Lu Xi's face, he frowned again: "The wound hurts?"

This time it was Lu Xi's turn to open his hand, and with her messy hair, she shouted angrily: "I just called the hospital, and they said you had left, why did you come back again, what are you doing?" People are ghosts?!"

A smile suddenly appeared on Jingtang's lips when he called her, "Of course I'm going home when I wake up.
