The Son of the Cthulhu must be saved [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 66 Night 3
Sure enough, no matter what era, the public relations methods of human beings are similar.
"If I remember correctly, Miss Catherine, who encountered a supernatural event in the manor, was also 16 years old. Is there a certain relationship between the two?"
He Songming shook his head: "According to the information I have, there is no similarity between the two girls except age and gender. Later, it was reported that the guests who encountered strange dreams were male and female. If the victims have everything in common characteristics, then Mr. Li, as an adult male, should not die in the wine cellar."
Ruan Mobei knew intellectually that He Songming was right, but emotionally, he always felt that the girl must have died in the manor so strangely for some very special reason.
And this reason is related to Miss Catherine back then.
"How has Miss Catherine fared since she was removed from Twilight?"
"She has been dead for over 60 years at the age of 96."
Ruan Mobei was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that it was 150 years ago that Catherine Manor became a resort.
As a traveler who was thrown into the small world, he was still a little confused about this big timeline concept.
The last clue is also broken.
140 years ago, 16-year-old Miss Catherine encountered a supernatural event and immediately left the manor to move away from Twilight Star. Afterwards, she was in good health and died.
Two years ago, a 16-year-old girl was killed in the manor, and the body was found three days later, full of flowers.
And now, Director Li died in the wine cellar, with strange red marks on his arms and ankles, and the cause of death was the strangle marks on his neck, which made him suffocate.
The vice president also disappeared, leaving only traces of spirit vision all over the walls and floors at the scene of his disappearance.
"Let's go and have a look over there."
The two followed at the end of the crowd and joined the team looking for the vice president.
The others were in such a hurry that they turned the whole back building and hardware room upside down, and even went to the back garden and looked at every shrub.
No, there is no trace, the vice president has evaporated from the manor just like the disappearing waiters.
The secretary was trembling all over, Gui Lu patted her back to comfort her, with a solemn expression, Ruan Mobei pretended to be involved in the search, and carelessly fiddled with the grass with his feet.
Suddenly, someone asked: "Why are you okay when the vice president is missing?"
Ruan Mobei raised her head, and it was the secretary who questioned her. She seemed to be about to collapse, and she held Gui Lu's hand so tightly that her nails were about to dig into the back of the other's hand.
"If you want to ask this question, then why is Director Li the one who died this morning? You didn't hurry up to look for it, but instead made trouble here to delay the search. What do you mean?"
Ruan Mobei turned back rudely, the secretary choked on him, almost crying, Ruan Mobei is just an ordinary employee, how could he have the right to talk to her like this!
The secretary wiped away his tears, and Ruan Mobei didn't bother to talk to her. He looked at the foreman beside him and said, "Is there still a car here? I want to go straight back."
He Songming: "Yes, there should be three cars in the garage. A little squeeze can take everyone out."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
"But the vice president still..."
"Do we have to wait for everyone to die here?"
"..." The secretary fell silent, shrinking her neck and sobbing softly.
He Songming: "I'll take everyone to the garage."
Ruan Mobei: "There are also Lily and Jonathan, I have to take them with me, I'll call them first."
"Can two more people sit down?"
Gui Lu glared at the person who spoke, and said, "I'll call them, who wants to accompany me?"
"I'll be with you."
Gui Lu spoke, and quickly summoned three or four people to go with her to call Lily Jonathan, and the others followed the foreman to the garage to pick up the car.
The lights were brightly lit, but it failed to dispel the lingering fear. The hope of leaving was imminent. Everyone's movements were quite neat, and people kept urging He Songming to hurry up.
Soon, they came to the garage on the side of the courtyard. The garage was large and could accommodate up to five cars. The metal shutter door was locked.
He Songming took the key, squatted down and opened the lock, and the men closest to him helped lift the heavy rolling door.
The light from the street lamp illuminated the three cars inside, everyone's eyes lit up, and they cheered, wishing they could rush into the garage immediately and escape by car.
Ruan Mobei patted the non-existent dust on his hands, always feeling that things would not be so simple.
As long as this kind of door is lifted to a certain height, it will automatically continue upward under the action of the hydraulic rod. Before the rolling door is fully opened, the doctor and Mr. Smith in the front can't wait to get in.
At this moment, the door that had just risen to a height of 1.5 meters suddenly fell down, making a loud bang.
Even Ruan Mobei was taken aback, the original cheers turned into a few short screams, and the tense spirits of the crowd could no longer bear any stimulation.
"what happened!"
"What a broken door!"
Several people were about to step forward and lift the door up again.
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"
What responded to them was two heart-piercing screams, and the people who lifted the door jumped away like electric shocks, looking at the closed door in horror.
There was a loud bang from the garage, as if something was being violently destroyed, mixed with the inhuman howls of the doctor and Mr. Smith.
Ruan Mobei's scalp was numb, he took two steps back, leaned close to He Songming, closed his eyes, and grabbed the corner of He Songming's suit with his stiff hands.
He Songming lowered his head and glanced at his hand, which was so hard that the knuckles turned white, and a surprise flashed across his eyes.
After more than ten seconds, the sound disappeared.
It was as if nothing had happened, and the silence was as before.
Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, someone tentatively called out: "Mr. Smith, Dr. Fred, are you all right?"
no respond.
A timid lady had already cried aloud. In the confusion, the foreman took a deep breath and said, "Do you want to open the door and have a look?"
No one dared to approach this door anymore, so He Songming could only turn his gaze to Ruan Mobei. After receiving the signal from the other party asking for help, Ruan Mobei took a deep breath, nodded and said:
"Open the door and have a look."
Ruan Mobei and He Songming worked together to lift the shutter door again, and the heavy metal door rose automatically, revealing the scene inside the garage little by little.
... blood, a lot of blood.
The smashed bodies of the three aerial sightseeing cars were distorted, and the blood was still flowing down the metal shell. The doctor and Stephen were lying on the ground next to them... They were twisted in a posture that humans would never be able to pose, as if they were covered in blood. The bones were all shattered, and only the still intact skin dutifully contained the broken bones and ruptured internal organs, keeping them from falling apart.
The car was smashed by them with their flesh and blood.
There are bright green traces all over the place, and the image in the spirit vision almost covers up Bloody, it is still an intertwined crawling trail from when the vice president disappeared, like many snakes swarming past.
Ruan Mobei held his breath for the bloody smell that hit his face. Although he was shocked by the scene in front of him, he didn't feel sick, as if...he was already used to such a bloody scene.
The garage door was completely opened, and it was wide open to show the blood to everyone. No one dared to enter again. Who knew if the door would suddenly close again, and would he become a limp corpse in front of him like a doctor?
"Maybe we can't go anymore," someone murmured, "something doesn't want us to go."
Desperation spread quickly, and someone cried on the spot. Ruan Mobei tugged on He Songming's sleeve and said in a low voice, "I want to take a look at the situation."
He Songming hesitated for a while: "Okay, wait a moment."
He went to the tool room to get a hydraulic rod, carefully propped up the shutter door, and together with Ruan Mobei, walked into the garage under the eyes of everyone.
Ruan Mobei noticed the changes in his spirit vision. The large traces interfered with his vision a bit. He walked to the doctor and knelt down to examine his body.
The doctor could hardly see a human being. He was covered in blood and his face was completely deformed. Ruan Mobei checked his wrists and ankles carefully, and there were indeed traces of being bound by something.
The same thing happened to Stephen's body. Ruan Mobei raised his head, blood was even sprayed on the ceiling, which shows how tragic the situation was.
The garage was huge, and he walked through it, looking for any clues that might be left behind.
He Songming was inspecting the vehicle, but all the parts inside the vehicle had been destroyed, and he couldn't even start it.
There seemed to be something at the bottom of the tool shelf, Ruan Mobei knelt down and reached out to touch it.
Is that... a leaf?
Ruan Mobei pinched the leaf and was stunned.
The dark green leaves are shaped like small palms, hidden in the corner, with wet blood stains on them.
The criss-crossed crawling marks were displayed in the spirit vision, and Ruan Mobei instantly knew who the culprit was who killed Director Li, took away the vice president, and destroyed the vehicle with doctors and Stephen.
He stood up, walked out of the garage, and looked at the tool room not far away. For aesthetic reasons, there were many vines climbing the outer wall of the tool room, and the lush green leaves covered the wall.
It was these vines that entangled their hands and feet, strangled Director Li to death, dragged the vice president away, and threw the doctor and Stephen wildly.
Ruan Mobei turned his head and looked at He Songming. The foreman was getting out of the car, and he shook his head solemnly.
The car is no longer usable.
But Ruan Mobei didn't ask him about the situation, he just suddenly thought... In the last small world, the star spirit He Songming often used vines to entangle him as punishment, or forcibly took him somewhere.
Here is also the Twilight Star. The story of the explorer discovering the planet is circulating. It has only passed 500 years. It is only a moment for the long life of the protoss. It stands to reason that it should still exist.
...Is it Protoss?It knew the intention of the vice president and the doctor to kill him, and killed them?
Then why are Director Li and Smith dead?Ruan Mobei didn't think the protoss would be so bloodthirsty.
If the protoss still exists on the planet, what does He Songming, who is the waiter of Catherine Manor, have anything to do with it?
Ruan Mobei touched the leaf in his pocket, but he had no clue. The easiest way is to ask He Songming directly if you have anything to do with Protoss, but if he fails, he will be treated as a psychopath.
Let's observe for a while and see how the follow-up plot will develop.
The protoss that may still exist, the scene of sacrifice in the dream, the girl on the river bank who looks the same as Catherine Sanchez, the girl who died two years ago, the Ansel company and the group that happened one after another, their footsteps are like the ghost of He Songming , and Lily Jonathan who made him feel extremely familiar.
There must be a connection between these things that he hasn't discovered yet.
The condition of the doctor's and Stephen's corpses was so dire that they couldn't be moved to other places, so they had to stay in the garage. Ruan Mobei and He Songming walked out of the garage, removed the hydraulic lever, and closed the garage door.
But the smell of blood still lingered in the air, and refused to dissipate for a long time.
"Let's go, go back first."
The team was always impatient and became silent. He Songming led the way, and Ruan Mobei walked beside him. The main building was brightly lit, which looked the same as when they first got off the bus.
In just two days, three people had died, and the missing vice president should also be doomed, but the body has not been found yet.
The moment he stepped into the gate, He Songming suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to wait.
Immediately, Ruan Mobei also noticed something strange - originally entering from the main entrance of the main building, they should have seen the front desk, but now, there was a long corridor in front of them.
"This is where?"
"I don't know, should the entrance be a corridor?"
"Is this haunting, haunting?"
Ruan Mobei and He Songming looked at each other, and as the calmest two people here, they made the same decision.
"Go, let's take a look first."
They walked into the corridor, and with the lead, the others followed hesitantly.
The retro wall lamps on both sides of the corridor are on, and the further you go in, the light becomes dimmer, as if there is insufficient energy.
The promenade was quite long, and after walking about a hundred meters, there was still no end in sight, and the front was almost sunk in darkness.
"Where are Sister Guilu and the others?" The weak voice echoed in the corridor, bounced off the walls repeatedly, and the echoes overlapped many times, and the person was immediately frightened so that he didn't dare to speak.
For a while, there were only people's footsteps and tense breathing, and soon, paintings began to appear on the walls, serious men in military uniforms, with medals on their chests, and women in fine clothes hugging young children. The ones Ruan Mobei saw at night.
He Songming paused in front of the portrait, frowning, Ruan Mobei asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"These are the portraits of the Sanchez family back then. After they left, they were all sent to the viewing area in the back building. How did they appear here?"
At night, they not only appear at the door of my room, but also move.Ruan Mobei complained silently.
The further he walked, the darker the surroundings became. He looked back, and behind the bright lights, the door they entered had disappeared at some point.
The flashlights of the smart bracelets were turned on one after another, and finally, Ruan Mobei saw the portrait of Miss Catherine Sanchez.
The posture and expression are exactly the same as those seen at night.
Ruan Mobei stopped and observed the painting carefully. He raised his hand, and the smart bracelet illuminated the girl's face. She was blonde and blue-eyed, but the lips under the hood in the dream were tightly pressed, which was different from the girl in the painting. smile.
Miss Catherine was wearing a gorgeous dress and a necklace. The end of the silver chain was not luxurious jewelry. A small glass bottle was filled with blue-purple fine sand. The texture was shining and delicate, as if it could flow.
Ruan Mobei frowned, somehow feeling that the blue-purple contents were quite familiar. He took a closer look, and in the white light of the flashlight, the fine sand was particularly dazzling, and he didn't know what kind of paint was used to paint it.
But precisely because it is a painting, no matter how fine the brushstrokes are, it cannot reflect all the details like a photo. Ruan Mobei got limited information. He frowned and touched his chin. The dreamy color reminded him of the painting in the last world. Mermaid He Songming's beautiful fish tail.
"Do you know what this is?" He asked He Songming, but the surroundings were silent.
Ruan Mobei turned his head and found that at some point, he was the only one left here.
He hurriedly looked left and right, and there was no one else in the long corridor, no matter whether it was front or rear.
Has he fallen behind?He had been next to He Songming before, if he didn't keep up, the other party should find out soon.
After a moment of panic, Ruan Mobei quickly calmed down.No, it was possible that the structure of the estate had changed again, separating them all.
Ruan Mobei took one last look at Catherine's portrait, and walked forward slowly. The portrait ended here, but the walls on both sides were not empty again, except for the wall lamps that were no longer lit, some mural-like lines appeared.
Those lines are simple and quite abstract. Ruan Mobei walked closer and looked at them, and barely guessed the general content. This round thing should represent a planet. Many planets were born together, and then one of them ran away.
... ran away?
Ruan Mobei was taken aback, and hurriedly took two steps forward to look at the next painting. At this time, there were fluorescent green traces in the spirit vision again.
The planet represented by a circle in the mural seemed to come to life, flying forward all the way, leaving a trail in the spirit vision.
It flew faster and faster, and Ruan Mobei's footsteps accelerated, until he trotted to catch up.
He followed the planet with his eyes, and told Ruan Mobei intuitively that as long as he chased the planet to the destination, he would be able to unravel the veil of true desire——
Suddenly, there was nothing under his feet.
The planet flew forward silently, and disappeared from sight in an instant. Ruan Mobei had no time to adjust his balance, and fell down the stairs unexpectedly.
He rolled around on the ground a few times, and stopped when he hit something. Fortunately, he didn't fall, but his arms and legs were a little sore.
"hiss--"
Ruan Mobei got up on the ground, the planet had already disappeared, leaving only a trail that was disappearing, Ruan Mobei was about to continue chasing, when he raised his head, he saw something that stopped him.
It was a statue, quite tall. Ruan Mobei raised his head, and the light beam illuminated its blank face. According to the statue's clothing and posture, Ruan Mobei recognized it as the explorer of Twilight Star.
There are statues of the explorer all over Twilight, but even if it's everywhere, it's odd that it's here now.
Ruan Mobei carefully walked around the statue, ready to continue following the trajectory of the planet, but suddenly heard a sound.
In the light rustling, the sound of footsteps was so clear, coming from behind.
Ruan Mobei's heart tightened, he dodged and hid behind the statue, and looked over, the soul fire was floating in the distance, approaching with his footsteps.
It was the ghost I met in the middle of the night.
Ruan Mobei didn't know what would happen if he was approached by a ghost, and he didn't dare to try it rashly. After all, he only had one life. If he died, the task of collecting soul fragments would fail.
Behind the statue is no longer an endless corridor. There are many doors on both sides of the dark corridor. Ruan Mobei turned off the flashlight of the smart bracelet, walked to a door in the dark, and pushed it open tentatively.
The door is not locked.
He went in sideways, closed the door gently, and locked it inside.
There is no window in the room, and you can't see your fingers. It seems that all the light will be swallowed up. Ruan Mobei bowed his head, ready to turn on the flashlight of the smart bracelet again——
Whispering voices reappeared in his ears.
The footsteps are close at hand, staying outside the door, as if knowing that there is a beating heart on the other side of the door.
Ruan Mobei froze all over, and just before his fingers touched the screen, he saw a little soul fire pulsating from his chest.
In an instant, ice-cold burning swept his whole body.
【…】
The singing gradually faded away, and the people on the shore have been covered by thick fog, leaving only a faint light.
Ruan Mobei got up dizzy and sat for a while before realizing that he had fallen into a dream again.
Falling into a dream instantly, is it because of the soul fire?
The fruit under his body made him a little uncomfortable, Ruan Mobei fiddled with the red fruit into the water, the sound of splashing into the water echoed on the river, and the splash of water fell on the back of his hand.
The surroundings are extremely quiet, there is no sound that a normal forest would have, as if there are no other living things.
A wooden stick was inserted at the end of the floating raft, and an oil lamp was hung on it. The flame was dancing, but the dim yellow light of the fire could not illuminate the situation under the muddy river.
The rope that bound his hands was untied the moment the raft floated out, and those people were sure that he could not escape on the river. His white robe was stained red by the juice from the fruit, like blood.
Is this... exile?
No, it's not quite like it. If it's exile, there's no need for him to wear this kind of religious clothes, and there's no need to put red fruits like cherries on it.
That is a sacrifice.
Why would a girl who looked like Catherine Sanchez look at him with guilt?
Ruan Mobei tried to stand up, but when the center of gravity rose, the floating row immediately shook unsteadily, scaring him to quickly squat down again.
Where will it go?There seemed to be some kind of indescribable stench mixed in the mist, as if it was diffused from the forest, and it also seemed to emanate from the river, as if something had rotted.
Ruan Mobei covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeve, curled up and lay down.
The raft was not big enough, so he had to keep his legs carefully. Ruan Mobei stared at the flame in the lantern, obeyed his fate, walked through the mist, and drifted to the unknown end.
"Mr. Ruan?"
"Mr. Ruan, wake up."
The lights shook unsteadily, and the bamboo raft seemed to pass through a section of rapids and began to spin, and the river water poured into the sky amidst the thick fog.
Ruan Mobei opened his eyes suddenly, startling Lily who was shaking him, the light of the crystal chandelier made him subconsciously raise his hand to cover his eyes, squinting for a while to adapt, Ruan Mobei looked through his fingers Lily, Jonathan, Gui Lu, and He Songming are a series of familiar faces.
He returned to the hall.
"... When did I come here?"
"Ah? Just now, you walked over there just now, sat on the sofa and started to sleep without saying a word, which surprised us."
Ruan Mobei looked in the direction of Lily's finger, which was the corridor leading to the East District.
But he obviously encountered a supernatural event in the process of following the murals of the planet, hid in a hut he didn't know what to do, and was attacked by the soul fire.
Did he come here sleepwalking, or was he manipulated by the soul fire to come here?
Ruan Mobei didn't know, no matter what the situation was, he was not very optimistic.
"If I remember correctly, Miss Catherine, who encountered a supernatural event in the manor, was also 16 years old. Is there a certain relationship between the two?"
He Songming shook his head: "According to the information I have, there is no similarity between the two girls except age and gender. Later, it was reported that the guests who encountered strange dreams were male and female. If the victims have everything in common characteristics, then Mr. Li, as an adult male, should not die in the wine cellar."
Ruan Mobei knew intellectually that He Songming was right, but emotionally, he always felt that the girl must have died in the manor so strangely for some very special reason.
And this reason is related to Miss Catherine back then.
"How has Miss Catherine fared since she was removed from Twilight?"

Ruan Mobei touched the leaf in his pocket, but he had no clue. The easiest way is to ask He Songming directly if you have anything to do with Protoss, but if he fails, he will be treated as a psychopath.
Let's observe for a while and see how the follow-up plot will develop.
The protoss that may still exist, the scene of sacrifice in the dream, the girl on the river bank who looks the same as Catherine Sanchez, the girl who died two years ago, the Ansel company and the group that happened one after another, their footsteps are like the ghost of He Songming , and Lily Jonathan who made him feel extremely familiar.
There must be a connection between these things that he hasn't discovered yet.
The condition of the doctor's and Stephen's corpses was so dire that they couldn't be moved to other places, so they had to stay in the garage. Ruan Mobei and He Songming walked out of the garage, removed the hydraulic lever, and closed the garage door.
But the smell of blood still lingered in the air, and refused to dissipate for a long time.
"Let's go, go back first."
The team was always impatient and became silent. He Songming led the way, and Ruan Mobei walked beside him. The main building was brightly lit, which looked the same as when they first got off the bus.
In just two days, three people had died, and the missing vice president should also be doomed, but the body has not been found yet.
The moment he stepped into the gate, He Songming suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to wait.
Immediately, Ruan Mobei also noticed something strange - originally entering from the main entrance of the main building, they should have seen the front desk, but now, there was a long corridor in front of them.
"This is where?"
"I don't know, should the entrance be a corridor?"
"Is this haunting, haunting?"
Ruan Mobei and He Songming looked at each other, and as the calmest two people here, they made the same decision.
"Go, let's take a look first."
They walked into the corridor, and with the lead, the others followed hesitantly.
The retro wall lamps on both sides of the corridor are on, and the further you go in, the light becomes dimmer, as if there is insufficient energy.
The promenade was quite long, and after walking about a hundred meters, there was still no end in sight, and the front was almost sunk in darkness.
"Where are Sister Guilu and the others?" The weak voice echoed in the corridor, bounced off the walls repeatedly, and the echoes overlapped many times, and the person was immediately frightened so that he didn't dare to speak.
For a while, there were only people's footsteps and tense breathing, and soon, paintings began to appear on the walls, serious men in military uniforms, with medals on their chests, and women in fine clothes hugging young children. The ones Ruan Mobei saw at night.
He Songming paused in front of the portrait, frowning, Ruan Mobei asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"These are the portraits of the Sanchez family back then. After they left, they were all sent to the viewing area in the back building. How did they appear here?"
At night, they not only appear at the door of my room, but also move.Ruan Mobei complained silently.
The further he walked, the darker the surroundings became. He looked back, and behind the bright lights, the door they entered had disappeared at some point.
The flashlights of the smart bracelets were turned on one after another, and finally, Ruan Mobei saw the portrait of Miss Catherine Sanchez.
The posture and expression are exactly the same as those seen at night.
Ruan Mobei stopped and observed the painting carefully. He raised his hand, and the smart bracelet illuminated the girl's face. She was blonde and blue-eyed, but the lips under the hood in the dream were tightly pressed, which was different from the girl in the painting. smile.
Miss Catherine was wearing a gorgeous dress and a necklace. The end of the silver chain was not luxurious jewelry. A small glass bottle was filled with blue-purple fine sand. The texture was shining and delicate, as if it could flow.
Ruan Mobei frowned, somehow feeling that the blue-purple contents were quite familiar. He took a closer look, and in the white light of the flashlight, the fine sand was particularly dazzling, and he didn't know what kind of paint was used to paint it.
But precisely because it is a painting, no matter how fine the brushstrokes are, it cannot reflect all the details like a photo. Ruan Mobei got limited information. He frowned and touched his chin. The dreamy color reminded him of the painting in the last world. Mermaid He Songming's beautiful fish tail.
"Do you know what this is?" He asked He Songming, but the surroundings were silent.
Ruan Mobei turned his head and found that at some point, he was the only one left here.
He hurriedly looked left and right, and there was no one else in the long corridor, no matter whether it was front or rear.
Has he fallen behind?He had been next to He Songming before, if he didn't keep up, the other party should find out soon.
After a moment of panic, Ruan Mobei quickly calmed down.No, it was possible that the structure of the estate had changed again, separating them all.
Ruan Mobei took one last look at Catherine's portrait, and walked forward slowly. The portrait ended here, but the walls on both sides were not empty again, except for the wall lamps that were no longer lit, some mural-like lines appeared.
Those lines are simple and quite abstract. Ruan Mobei walked closer and looked at them, and barely guessed the general content. This round thing should represent a planet. Many planets were born together, and then one of them ran away.
... ran away?
Ruan Mobei was taken aback, and hurriedly took two steps forward to look at the next painting. At this time, there were fluorescent green traces in the spirit vision again.
The planet represented by a circle in the mural seemed to come to life, flying forward all the way, leaving a trail in the spirit vision.
It flew faster and faster, and Ruan Mobei's footsteps accelerated, until he trotted to catch up.
He followed the planet with his eyes, and told Ruan Mobei intuitively that as long as he chased the planet to the destination, he would be able to unravel the veil of true desire——
Suddenly, there was nothing under his feet.
The planet flew forward silently, and disappeared from sight in an instant. Ruan Mobei had no time to adjust his balance, and fell down the stairs unexpectedly.
He rolled around on the ground a few times, and stopped when he hit something. Fortunately, he didn't fall, but his arms and legs were a little sore.
"hiss--"
Ruan Mobei got up on the ground, the planet had already disappeared, leaving only a trail that was disappearing, Ruan Mobei was about to continue chasing, when he raised his head, he saw something that stopped him.
It was a statue, quite tall. Ruan Mobei raised his head, and the light beam illuminated its blank face. According to the statue's clothing and posture, Ruan Mobei recognized it as the explorer of Twilight Star.
There are statues of the explorer all over Twilight, but even if it's everywhere, it's odd that it's here now.
Ruan Mobei carefully walked around the statue, ready to continue following the trajectory of the planet, but suddenly heard a sound.
In the light rustling, the sound of footsteps was so clear, coming from behind.
Ruan Mobei's heart tightened, he dodged and hid behind the statue, and looked over, the soul fire was floating in the distance, approaching with his footsteps.
It was the ghost I met in the middle of the night.
Ruan Mobei didn't know what would happen if he was approached by a ghost, and he didn't dare to try it rashly. After all, he only had one life. If he died, the task of collecting soul fragments would fail.
Behind the statue is no longer an endless corridor. There are many doors on both sides of the dark corridor. Ruan Mobei turned off the flashlight of the smart bracelet, walked to a door in the dark, and pushed it open tentatively.
The door is not locked.
He went in sideways, closed the door gently, and locked it inside.
There is no window in the room, and you can't see your fingers. It seems that all the light will be swallowed up. Ruan Mobei bowed his head, ready to turn on the flashlight of the smart bracelet again——
Whispering voices reappeared in his ears.
The footsteps are close at hand, staying outside the door, as if knowing that there is a beating heart on the other side of the door.
Ruan Mobei froze all over, and just before his fingers touched the screen, he saw a little soul fire pulsating from his chest.
In an instant, ice-cold burning swept his whole body.
【…】
The singing gradually faded away, and the people on the shore have been covered by thick fog, leaving only a faint light.
Ruan Mobei got up dizzy and sat for a while before realizing that he had fallen into a dream again.
Falling into a dream instantly, is it because of the soul fire?
The fruit under his body made him a little uncomfortable, Ruan Mobei fiddled with the red fruit into the water, the sound of splashing into the water echoed on the river, and the splash of water fell on the back of his hand.
The surroundings are extremely quiet, there is no sound that a normal forest would have, as if there are no other living things.
A wooden stick was inserted at the end of the floating raft, and an oil lamp was hung on it. The flame was dancing, but the dim yellow light of the fire could not illuminate the situation under the muddy river.
The rope that bound his hands was untied the moment the raft floated out, and those people were sure that he could not escape on the river. His white robe was stained red by the juice from the fruit, like blood.
Is this... exile?
No, it's not quite like it. If it's exile, there's no need for him to wear this kind of religious clothes, and there's no need to put red fruits like cherries on it.
That is a sacrifice.
Why would a girl who looked like Catherine Sanchez look at him with guilt?
Ruan Mobei tried to stand up, but when the center of gravity rose, the floating row immediately shook unsteadily, scaring him to quickly squat down again.
Where will it go?There seemed to be some kind of indescribable stench mixed in the mist, as if it was diffused from the forest, and it also seemed to emanate from the river, as if something had rotted.
Ruan Mobei covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeve, curled up and lay down.
The raft was not big enough, so he had to keep his legs carefully. Ruan Mobei stared at the flame in the lantern, obeyed his fate, walked through the mist, and drifted to the unknown end.
"Mr. Ruan?"
"Mr. Ruan, wake up."
The lights shook unsteadily, and the bamboo raft seemed to pass through a section of rapids and began to spin, and the river water poured into the sky amidst the thick fog.
Ruan Mobei opened his eyes suddenly, startling Lily who was shaking him, the light of the crystal chandelier made him subconsciously raise his hand to cover his eyes, squinting for a while to adapt, Ruan Mobei looked through his fingers Lily, Jonathan, Gui Lu, and He Songming are a series of familiar faces.
He returned to the hall.
"... When did I come here?"
"Ah? Just now, you walked over there just now, sat on the sofa and started to sleep without saying a word, which surprised us."
Ruan Mobei looked in the direction of Lily's finger, which was the corridor leading to the East District.
But he obviously encountered a supernatural event in the process of following the murals of the planet, hid in a hut he didn't know what to do, and was attacked by the soul fire.
Did he come here sleepwalking, or was he manipulated by the soul fire to come here?
Ruan Mobei didn't know, no matter what the situation was, he was not very optimistic.
