The next moment, Seventeen walked over quietly. He closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and handed the copper lamp to Sidelle by the lamp handle: "Your lamp."

He didn't intend to help, and still kept some distance between the two when handing over the lamp.

It is a measure of safety.

Xidel paused, watched him count his eyes, and the corners of her lips twitched. The facial muscles that were twitching and painful began to warm up, and she raised her hand to take it: "Thank you."

The delicate atmosphere in the air seemed to dissipate silently.

As if nothing happened.

Sidelle held the lamp, rubbed her forehead and stood up.After half a minute of relief, the pain on the body has dissipated, only a little soreness remains, but it is not unbearable.

She understood why the red door could only be entered three times. It was too mentally exhausting. She lost too much blood and was seriously injured inside the red door. The reaction outside the door was not physical but mental damage.

If you die inside the door, you will die outside the door.

Sidelle lowered her eyes in thought, her hands kept moving, she stuffed the second blood bead into the copper lamp, and the moment she pressed it, she could see her surroundings clearly.

Nothing at all.

A soft halo envelops, and a gust of cold wind blows from the end of the rusty, eerie corridor, stirring up the corners of Sidelle's clothes.

The white light traced the intertwined light and dark outlines on Seventeen's face. Sidel took a look at him and felt that this man was really good-looking. He had a kind of translucent beauty that was hard to describe in words.

Now he is standing not far from him, with a flat complexion and slightly closed eyelashes, only revealing two glass beads-like eyes hidden in the slender eyelashes, clear and lingling, the pupils of the eyes are like black agate soaked in a clear spring.

It looks very beautiful at first glance, but upon closer inspection it makes one feel an inexplicable sense of dread, as if seeing a bottomless darkness.

Sidelle has always been more tolerant towards tall and good-looking people.

In addition, the current atmosphere has gradually eased, and Shi Qi is also very obedient... Yes, his performance can really be described by this word.

This is a bit strange though.

Sidelle couldn't believe that he didn't think about anything else the moment he got the lamp.

But after all, he didn't do anything, and even made Sidel's crowbar, which was urgently needed to play, no chance to play.

The moment the copper lamp left her hand, she was ready to fight this man.

With the new blood beads in hand, Sidelle ran directly to the stairs on the second floor without hesitation.

It's been a smooth journey.

But on the way, Sidelle also spoke to the people around her and briefly explained: "I just had an accident because—" I was injured inside the red door.

She also mentioned a sentence about the restrictions on people's ability to enter the Red Gate.

Since it seems that this person can be dealt with now, Sidelle doesn't mind giving more information to people from the same camp.

Believe it or not is up to him.

But Shi Qi had never been to the first floor, and he did not question Sidel's intelligence and information.

He has been following Sidelle's side, but kept a reasonable distance that both of them can feel at ease.

Not even talking much.

Sidelle even thought about talking to him while she was on her way. After all, it was too depressing here, and the highly tense nerves could easily make people collapse under the sudden heavy pressure.

Sidelle wanted to ease the atmosphere, thought for a while, showed a warm smile, and said in a brisk voice: "This old house is quite big, and there are old things inside. I don't know how much it is worth. Can you take it out and sell it? can generate additional income.”

Although she is not short of money.

It's just that Sidel picked up a topic at random, said a few words, and suddenly noticed that Shi Qi's eyes that had been calm all this time seemed to be a little confused.

She suddenly remembered the four dolls that were similar to Thai little ghosts that she had seen before.

Sidelle: "..." Oh shit.

The topic seems to be wrong.

Taking out the dolls of other people's living sacrifice town houses and reselling them as antiques sounds like... a bit wicked.

Sidelle raised her eyebrows, and was about to say something to make up for it, but she hadn't waited for her to form a new language.

Seventeen nodded and responded, "Yes."

This sentence is just one word, with a flat voice and no waves, because the words are not serious, it still sounds perfunctory.

I can't tell if I agree or disagree.

Sidelle: "..."

Good.

She gave up using awkward chats to relieve her depression.

After all, this embarrassment completely dispelled the oppressive and terrifying atmosphere.

With the help of the copper lamp and the map, Sidel made it to the stairs from the second floor to the third floor.

The wooden stairs go up and down, black and dark, like a passage to hell.

Sidelle thought for a moment, looked sideways at Shi Qi beside her, and told her, "Keep calm."

Although this person has always looked calm.

The young man paused for half a second, then nodded slightly.

Sidelle took a breath, pinched the lamp handle with her fingers, and stepped up the stairs.

She only took two steps, and suddenly, something happened.

"Crack clap clap clap..."

The sound was terrifyingly loud, the wooden stairs cracked layer by layer, and at the same time as the feeling of falling came, Sidel realized another thing——

A pale ghost's hand came up from the side, grabbed the map rolled up at her waist and threw it to the side, and the cold feeling covered her back.It seemed that something was lying on her body, and at a critical moment, Sydel subconsciously turned on the copper lamp, and at the same time realized another thing:

Something in the old house doesn't want her to go up.

At the same time as turning on the copper lamp, Sidelle threw out the crowbar to hook the railing, but it only lasted for a few seconds, and the hard wooden railing suddenly cracked.

Sidelle fell down.

In order to prevent accidents, she pressed the copper lamp in her arms for a moment, and while adjusting her posture, she reached out to reach the map that fell along the sawdust.

If it falls into the dark, I'm afraid...something will take it away.

Sidelle touched the map with her fingertips.

The moment she touched the map, she grabbed it and threw it back, but because of the map, she couldn't continue to adjust her falling aptitude, so she could only curl up and roll down the steep wall.

But Sidelle didn't fall for a long time, but within a few breaths, suddenly there was a great force pulling her over by pressing on the back of her neck.

Sidelle: "...?"

She raised her eyes in a little confusion, and met Shi Qi's face who was close at hand. This man's waist was very soft, but at that moment, he burst out with extremely strong waist and abdomen strength, which seemed unreal.

Sidelle was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and just looked at Shi Qi briefly for less than half a second, and could only see his dark pupils that still spread to the bottom without any waves.

The next moment, his cold, callused fingers suddenly pressed on the back of Sidelle's neck, and pushed her head heavily into his arms.

What is Seventeen doing?Why did he do this?

When did she become so familiar with this person?

When Sydel was pulled into his arms, she became confused, especially when she suddenly came into close contact with unfamiliar people, and it was still at the fatal point of the "neck"——

Her whole body tensed up almost instantly. If she hadn't been in a falling state and had no hands free to hit someone, Sidelle would have probably pulled out her own crowbar.

It doesn't matter if you look good, at most you don't slap your face.

After a few seconds.

"boom--"

Accompanied by the sound of the gun touching the ground.

Sidelle raised her face from Shiqi's arms, stepped back half a step, and was about to ask him what he was doing, when she caught a glimpse of his strange posture from the corner of her eye, she glanced at him and was suddenly taken aback.

On the ground of the ancient house, there stood a sharp and sharp nail, shining brightly in the dark.

The nail was pointing upwards, and the point of the nail was stained with fresh blood, piercing through a man's hand.

Sidel was stunned for a few seconds, and an unreasonable chill suddenly rushed into her heart.

It seems that the existence in the old house not only didn't want her to go up there, but also wanted... to kill her.

She remembered this location, because she had been to the first floor before, and she could be sure that it was empty and there was nothing there.

Sidelle pursed her lips, her eyes were filled with coolness, she raised her eyes and looked back, but saw nothing.

She turned around, suppressing the chill all over her body, her eyes moved away from Shi Qi's body strangely, and fell on the nail.

She understood why Shi Qi suddenly pushed her head down.

If it wasn't for him, this nail should have been inserted into her brain by now.

At that time, the falling speed was too fast, and there was no point of support to change direction.

So Shi Qi can only push her head down, so that the nail can only penetrate his hand at most——

It looks like it hurts.

Sidelle looked at the bloody nail, and suddenly felt a little ashamed of her dark and deep thoughts—she had conspired for so long, and even thought out the fighting moves before she got up, but it turned out that it was true want to save her.

She silently turned her gaze back to Shi Qi, and seeing the young man's expression, she couldn't help being a little startled.

He...has a high tolerance for pain.

Even with the penetrating wound, when he withdrew his palm, he only frowned slightly.

"That..." Sydel noticed the bloody wound, the blood was spreading along the nail hole, she was going to thank her first—

In fact, Sydel's feeling in her heart is still very subtle.

The first time she met was not a pig teammate, but a reliable and normal person's helper.

first! !How difficult it is.

It was also the first time someone helped me.

It is impossible to say that the mood is not complicated.

But just as she opened her mouth, Shi Qi raised her eyelashes, and the young man looked into her arms, almost speaking at the same time as her.

"Is the copper lamp okay?"

he asks.

Sidelle: "..."

It turned out that they were protecting the copper lamp.

But she also breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and said sincerely: "The copper lamp is fine, I will protect it in my arms."

The sincerity in the words this time is a little more serious.

Shi Qi lowered his head and tore off the hem of his clothes, wrapping it around his left palm like gauze, and Sidel felt pain when he looked at it, but his expression didn't change from the beginning to the end, and he just said "hmm".

Just as the two of them were talking, a "creaking" sound suddenly appeared.

Sidelle noticed the voice and looked towards the source of the voice.

she sees—

The back door leading to the ancient village on the first floor of the ancient house opened slowly by itself.

A white thread came through the crack of the door.

The bright light was very dazzling, and Sidelle squinted her eyes slightly, and the next moment, a familiar dizziness came.

That is……

Sidelle woke up.

To be precise, she opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, she realized that something was wrong, but Sidelle was very calm, or in other words, her current mood was completely calm.

Put your hand into your arms first, it's fine, the copper lamp is still there.

Look up again.

……hiss.

Sidelle looked at the maple tree in front of her, the fiery red maple leaves covered the ground, and a tall earthen wall stood behind the tree.

Blue sky, white clouds, sunny day.

Then raise the sleeves, smooth silk and satin, mainly red and white.A white jacket with wide sleeves and a thin red collar tied at the end of the sleeves. The scarlet hakama is dragged on the ground full of red maple leaves.

Witch.

Sidelle looked at the attire on her body, and this word suddenly appeared in her mind.

She became...a witch.

Shi Qi was not by her side, so she didn't know where he was now, but Sidel had no time to think about it, because she heard a cold and stern shout coming from not far away.

"Whoever finds the Son of God will receive a reward from the patriarch—"

"The whole village is strictly guarded, look for the witch's whereabouts!"

Sidelle: "..."

Sighing tiredly, she turned behind the tree and peeked at the shouts coming from the village, and saw a group of guards wearing armor and katana swords coming out from there.

Sidelle has good eyesight, and saw that the pair of guards were pale and stiff, they didn't look like normal people, their actions, words and deeds were also extremely inconsistent, under the blue sky, it seemed——

Manipulated NPCs.

And they have only one goal.

Find the witch and bring her back to the center of the village.

After the group of people walked away, Sydel began to look down at herself, her hair was still golden, this was her own body, but the key was——

She was wearing only three clothes.

White kimono underwear, kimono outer and scarlet hakama.

Where the guards walked, even ordinary villagers seemed to start shouting slogans: "Find the witch, find the witch..."

Just like the game NPC.

Sidelle can't show up now, she will be taken away as soon as she shows up.When those people talked just now, she also heard a lot of news that the witch was going to preside over the sacrifice in seven days, but today the witch suddenly disappeared from the occasion where she was preparing for the sacrifice.

Therefore, in order for the ritual to proceed smoothly, the people of this village wanted to bring back the witch, that is, their son of God.

Now Sidelle is this Miko.

But she knew in her heart—according to the general routine, the witch must not be as simple as presiding over the sacrifice, maybe the witch herself is a sacrifice, and she would definitely not allow herself to be taken away by these people.

Although it was Sidelle's own body, it was not realistic for one person to fight against an entire village.

What's more, these people don't look like "human beings".

She hid behind the tree for a while, after the guards walked away, she thought for a few seconds and ran towards a place.

——There, maybe I can hide, give her some time, and let her find the clues to leave.
