MTL - Stealing the Hero’s Cool Script-Chapter 144 SAKUNLIN
After the episode, a group of people were taken to the host's house. Unexpectedly, the host here turned out to be a man.
He looks old, with a dry figure, gray hair, and an exaggeratedly bent back. One eye wears a black eyepatch, and the exposed eye is blue and black, and his complexion looks very bad. sleep well.
The gray-eyed woman leaned over and whispered in his ear, explaining everything clearly. After listening, he covered his mouth with his hands and coughed heavily, raised his drooping eyelids with difficulty, and looked up and down Lin Luo with cloudy eyeballs. Several people.
"I understand the purpose of the adults, but I'm sorry, I can't open the door for you right now." He recovered from his cough, and his tone was a little faster, "The maker of the mechanism is supernatural, according to the request of the ancestors, Perfectly designed a maze that can only be opened in the blue moon, because in order to trigger the unlocking device, not only the key in my hand is required, but also the energy of the blue moon is needed to fill the power stone deep in the mechanism to be successful."
"You mean, we can only return without success?"
The old man rolled his eyes, and his gaze paused on Yin Beiqing for a few more seconds, "There are many traps and deep barriers in the maze. If there are really evil spirits that the adults mentioned, before we take the initiative to open the door, It can't get out, so adults please wait at ease, if you want, you can stay and rest, and it won't be too late to act until the day of the blue moon."
"Who knows when the blue moon will come, we are not idlers." Someone from the Red Pavilion said.
The old man grinned, because even a flattering smile on his ugly face would look ferocious, "Don't worry, we have an accurate astrologer, and she calculates the date of the blue moon very accurately every time. The report on the day of the next blue moon is here."
As he said that, he took out a magnifying glass from his waist and took a close look at a record book, "Let me see... the 16th, the next blue moon is the 16th, today is the 14th, everyone just wait for two more days , won't waste too much time."
The person who objected just now lost his mind and asked Lin Luo what he meant with his eyes. The latter frowned and waved his hands, "The task is important."
Even if Yin Beiqing's competition results were not considered, it was impossible for them to let such a dangerous super evil spirit go out, otherwise, the Red Pavilion would not have sent a team of orcs so mobilizingly.
"Then you adults want to live here, right?" The old man rubbed his hands, as if he was a little embarrassed, "It's like this, you should be able to see that our conditions are difficult, and people inside don't go out and people outside don't." Come in, so there will be no hotels opened at all, if you want to stay, you may have to be wronged to squeeze the adults with the residents who still have vacant rooms at home."
"Whatever." Lin Luo had nothing to refute.
In fact, it is good to have a place to live. After all, the place where the evil spirits like to stay is more remote than the other. When she was a necromancer, she walked through the mud and rolled over the fire pit. She was so tired that she could just find a tree and hang it sleep.
The old man smiled embarrassingly, "My lords have been wronged, my house has quite a lot of vacant rooms, and it can probably sleep five or six people, you see..."
As he said that, his eyes turned to Yin Beiqing's face again. Yan Yu was standing by his side, seeing this little movement clearly, but she just held back and didn't say anything, intending to wait and see what happened.
"Don't worry about me, you can choose." Lin Luo picked up his saber and walked out, "I'm going to explore the surrounding terrain."
The rest began to allocate rooms by themselves, and they were not squeamish about this kind of thing, "Several referees live together, and then bring the candidates along."
There are not many referees here this time, one from Weiying, Yu Fusang from Yuling, and one... who looks like Yang Pei on the surface, but her parents have joined the Mage Society, so she can be regarded as Ma Leather will insert half of the eyeliner here.
With the three referees and Yin Beiqing as a candidate, they could still live there, but to be honest, no one would want to leave it as a scrap if they could live with their own people.
"I'll live here too." Yan Yu raised her hand proactively.
"That's fine." The man nodded, "It's just right for the two of you to stay with the referee."
"Then come on, I'll take some adults to the guest room." The old man stood up and walked forward in a nonchalant manner.
Yan Yu silently followed behind him, quietly looking around.
It looked like it was old, and there were even cobwebs in the corners that were not easy to clean. The owner's house seemed to be handicapped, but there was no one to take care of him. The huge house seemed extraordinarily deserted amidst the echo of his coughing.
I don't know if it's because there are very few windows here. Even though it's still daytime, the light inside is as dark as dusk. As far as their visual ability is concerned, this will not affect visibility, but occasionally a gust of cold wind blows from the back of the neck. , there will still be a chilly feeling.
Yan Yu pressed the palm of her hand to the back of her neck to suppress the weird feeling, but she didn't raise her hand for a long time before she felt her sleeve being torn by something. She lowered her arm, but her elbow bumped into it accidentally On the side door.
The door lock swayed, hitting the fragile wooden door with its heavy body and making a "bang bang" sound. The lock was different from the ones Yan Yu usually saw. There was something carved on the inner wall of the buckle. She just wanted to take a closer look. , the shoulder was suddenly patted heavily.
"Maybe the wind is blowing." The master who was leading the way just now stood behind her at some point, his thin arms burst out with a restraining force that was completely inconsistent with his appearance, and firmly clasped Yan Yu's shoulders.
He smiled, and all the creases on his face were wrinkled together again, the lines were so deep that his eyes couldn't see it, "Follow me quickly, we'll be there soon."
Yin Beiqing, who was aware of the situation here, came over, grabbed his wrist and broke it away, "Don't move."
"Sorry, sorry." He apologized repeatedly, but as the master, his attitude was much more modest than the residents he had just met.
No, that respectful attitude is not too much to describe as humble.
Yan Yu kept walking close to Yin Beiqing, but after walking a good distance, she could still hear the door lock shaking in her ears, and the shaking sound became louder and faster—until a series of baby cries Suddenly drilled into her eardrum.
"Uh-uh-"
She was startled, and turned her head suddenly, only to see that the door, which had been locked with a big brass lock just now, had been opened.
The wind blew the two doors creaking, and a two-finger-thick hemp rope flung out from the crack of the door, and a noose with the size of a bowl was connected to the end of it, swinging as if being pulled by some heavy object. Swing in and out like a swing.
Inexplicably, a strange image appeared in Yan Yu's mind - a dead body hanging from a rope and staring at her unwillingly.
She didn't know if she had imagined it too carefully, but she even felt that the bluish-purple face whose eyeballs were protruding from the strangulation was tightly attached to the back of her head at this moment.
She turned her head immediately, and when she saw that there was nothing unusual behind her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was just that she was too suspicious. Then she pulled Yin Beiqing's clothes, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear the baby crying just now?"
"Crying?" Yin Beiqing recalled carefully, "No."
"Is it my hallucination?"
Yan Yu felt weird in her heart, so she couldn't help but look back, but the rope was gone, and the door was still locked. She shook her head to put her doubts behind her, but she ignored that there was a gray and white dog on the edge of the door at this time. The bloodless hand was pointing in her direction, waving stiffly once and for all.
"Come in…"
