While some of the deducers who had obtained the guide's position began to gather closer to the community where the guide was located, at the end of the North District of Nanshui Town——
The mottled courtyard wall glows dark gray, and the heavy door knocker is withered with complicated gold patterns. A thick and old smell spreads along the courtyard door, making people breathless.
The gold-embellished mansion plaque was expensive to make, and the dignified word "Fangfu" has faded in ink, but it still retains its vitality.
The frost and snow quietly melted away when they reached the courtyard wall, and the surrounding area was covered with snow. Only the treetops and branches sticking out of Fang Mansion were bare, like sharp thorns.
Meerkat Dao stood outside Fang Mansion. He could see these branches when he raised his head. As soon as he saw it, he remembered what happened outside the town. When he thought about it, his whole body ached and almost trembled.
He clenched the two knives in his hands, wiped the fresh blood on his cheeks with the back of his hand, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
However, the dark thoughts that flashed through this time were no longer directed at Yu Xing, but at the flower hunter who coaxed him into taking action, and the ghost who couldn't get out at this moment——
"Yan Li, have you found the formation?"
Not far behind Meerkat Dao, Medusa sat with her legs crossed on a thick fallen tree trunk. While admiring the newly dyed crimson red on her nails, she glanced impatiently at Yan who was squatting on the ground tinkering.
reason.
The thin clothes highlighted her figure perfectly, and her ankle-length black hair was scattered on the ground behind her, like a willow fairy in human form.
Beauty is beautiful, but this behavior of not doing anything but talking is still very annoying. Yan Li maintained his squatting posture, turned around and mocked in annoyance: "Either ask your little boyfriend to come over and help, or shut up and stop disturbing me."
.”
The mentioned "little boyfriend" Lan Wu stood silently behind Medusa, moved his fingers in his sleeves, and stared at the back of Medusa's head in a daze.
There was no place for him to answer the phone at this time, and he knew it.
Sure enough, Medusa chuckled, put down her hands, and leaned her arms slightly back on the rough skin of the tree trunk, very casually: "What nonsense~ Lan Wu is not my little boyfriend, you know this fact, but you still insist on mentioning it.
, are you jealous?"
"President Medusa is overthinking." Yan Li turned his head and looked at the traces of formation calculations he left on the ground. He frowned and added a scratch with a stone, "It's just that your little boyfriend has a lot of marks on his body.
My special calculation power can help me at this time."
"In order for us all to find a way to leave as soon as possible, I also ask President Medusa to bear the pain and lend me Lan Wu."
Lan Wu couldn't help but take a step forward. Just as he was about to say, "How can I help you," Medusa raised her hand to block her back.
Medusa raised her bright red lips and played with a strand of her black hair rather arrogantly: "The most powerful deducer, Lord Yama, can't even break through a wall with ghosts, right? You still need to borrow me."
people?"
"Lan Wu is still very weak. His mental strength may not be able to withstand the torture of Lord Yama. Now that I have lent it to you, do you want me to be burdened with the coma in the future?"
Yan Li was cold and silent.
Meerkat Dao, who was distracted by the courtyard wall, couldn't help but said: "Even if he is awake, isn't it still a drag?"
Lan Wu's face turned pale, and it felt like a mongoose knife had stabbed his knee with his blunt words.
Medusa laughed out loud and said happily: "This is different. The awake Lan Wu has no legs and will follow me by himself. I can see this face when I turn my head - how pleasing to the eye~"
"President." Lan Wu lowered his head to express his surrender.
He doesn't seem to care at all what others think of him, nor does he care that Medusa treats him as a mere toy for her appearance. After all, he has obtained his current status and resources based on his appearance, so who has the right to deny it?
Medusa stared at him twice, and she seemed to be in a much better mood. Then she remembered that someone was still squatting aside, and snorted from her nasal cavity, saying in a weird voice: "If Lan Wu doesn't see it, I can't help it."
Don’t we have to go see Yan Li, who looks serious every day? I’m afraid of hurting my eyes.”
The veins on Yan Li's forehead were pulsing. He interrupted the topic a little helplessly and compromised: "If you don't want to borrow it, I won't. At least don't disturb my formation here, and be quiet."
The scene was really quiet.
Xue Shouyun tightened the snow-colored fox fur on his shoulders that was stained with red marks. He listened to the exchange between the two presidents at close range with guns and sticks, and there was no room for them to interrupt.
She was asked to say that the current situation is not optimistic, and the matter can only be traced back to more than an hour ago...
Many deducers are aware of the special features of Fang Mansion, and people come to investigate one after another.
But the strange thing is that among those who used various means to sneak into the courtyard wall of Fang Mansion, none of them came out.
Xue Shouyun came this time with a member of the Hourglass Guild. The member did not respond after entering the Fang Mansion. As time passed, she had no choice but to go in to check the situation in person.
It wasn't until she came in that she realized that Fang Mansion was actually an empty mansion.
It's not appropriate to say that. The mansion just doesn't have Mr. Fang, the eldest young master of the Fang family, the nanny and others as mentioned by the townspeople. However, Xue Shouyun found the bodies of several deducers... in the mansion.
It is hard to imagine that on the first day of the deduction, several deducers who were investigating the Fang Mansion died, including the fairly powerful member of her Hourglass Guild.
The member stood in the empty Fang Mansion Garden, his lower body turned into hard wood, and above the waist there was still flesh and blood, folded limply, and his remaining frightened eyes stared at the gray sky, silent and strange.
This is not Fang Mansion at all.
At least, it's not the Fang Mansion that the townspeople mentioned.
When Xue Shouyun was walking in the mansion, apart from occasionally passing by the corpse of a deducer, she always felt like someone was peering at her, invisible, but she couldn't get rid of it.
Later, she was attacked. A woman in a white dress holding a knife rushed out from the corner with disheveled hair and a cold laugh. What was outrageous was that Xue Shouyun's attack could not land on the woman in the white dress at all, so she could only run away passively.
.
She ran to a room in Fang Mansion, and the woman in the white dress disappeared quietly. In that room, she met Yan Li, Medusa, Mongoose Dao and Lan Wu.
Yanli Medusa was fine, Lan Wu looked pale, and the mongoose knife was stained with a lot of fresh blood, both from his injuries and from other people's blood.
After some exchanges, Xue Shouyun learned that a total of twelve deducers, strong or weak, had sneaked into the Fang Mansion, and now only five of them were left alive.
Everything in this house is weird. If you are not careful in the garden, the rules will be triggered and the wood will wither. There will be a woman in a white dress, invisible pieces of bloody human flesh, and invisible death curses. The most important thing is that these things, they
There was actually no way to resist, at best, evasion.
The deducers who have been promoted to their level each have their own psychic methods, so they are not like newcomers who lack the means to contact spiritual bodies. This has not been the case for a long time.
Moreover, there is still no way out of this strange square mansion. Every time someone rushes out, they will encounter a ghost who breaks the wall and comes back.
But the inside of the mansion was indeed too dangerous, so the five of them discussed and moved to a small open space outside the main gate of Fang Mansion, where Yan Li, who was proficient in formations, could calculate the location of the gap in the wall where the ghost would hit the wall.
Yan Li has been doing math and drawing on the ground for twenty minutes. He seems to have encountered difficulties, but he has some ideas.
What Xue Shouyun was most worried about was that they were trapped here and would not be able to meet the tour group at three o'clock.
