Chapter 1386 Lost
Through the paper on the door, you can vaguely see something emitting warm light floating over. It was a lantern, being held in someone's hand, and a very young A woman's voice sounded later: "Masters, hello. Okay, the Marquis and his wife will invite some masters to come over and talk about it.”
This is something that was agreed upon early in the morning and cannot be avoided. Besides, everyone urgently needs to contact the Marquis of Zhennan to get more information. After the test, the woman showed no flaws.
After the door opened, standing outside was a girl dressed as a maid. She was very young, probably not yet an adult, with beautiful eyebrows and a hint of agility.
"Does the Marquis want us to go there together, or some of the people we haven't met in the afternoon?" Jiang Cheng asked very naturally, while also sizing up the girl's reaction.
The girl seemed embarrassed to be stared at by Jiang Cheng and the others. She lowered her head, bowed to everyone, and asked, "I don't need to bother all the masters to go with you. The Marquis has ordered me to tell you my birth date and birth date." Let me tell you, the Marquis must choose the right person."
As soon as these words came out. , everyone shuddered, and the fat man even looked at Jiang Cheng secretly, because in the story Jiang Cheng told, there was a group of poor fishermen who were kidnapped by the officers and soldiers assigned by the Hou Mansion and tied to the Spring God. Hu went on a mission to salvage treasures, and the method he chose was through the so-called birth horoscopes.
According to everyone's later calculations, the old fisherman was able to come back alive at that time, most likely because his horoscope was different from the horoscope calculated by Master Ye. After all, he was the only one who was added to the roster. Yes, he took the place of a person named Gou Wa.
This is not picking people, this is picking people to die.
But everyone had no choice but to tell their birth dates. Of course, everyone made them up, but even so, 4 people were singled out.
Fatty, Yao, Shun, Yu, Lu Qin, and Shao Tong.
Except for Shao Tong, who still looked nervous, the other three looked ugly.
"These four masters and I are going to see the Marquis. The other masters have a good rest. I'm afraid I will trouble you again tomorrow." The girl is very polite, not like an ordinary maid, and her gestures make people feel very... It's comfortable, and if it doesn't appear on such occasions, it will win the favor of many people.
Later, the girl held a lantern in front of her and left with the four fat men. Looking at their retreating figures, Jiang Cheng's worry became more intense.
Finally, at the last moment when the light outside was about to disappear, Jiang Cheng gently opened the door, "I'll follow you and have a look, you guys wait for my news."
Li Bai took a step forward, "I'll go with you."
"No, it's more convenient for me to be alone." Jiang Cheng gently pushed Li Bai back to the door and gave her a reassuring look. Then he closed the door and chased her along the corridor with gentle steps.
Jiang Cheng’s attention was focused on the erratic lantern in the darkness at the front, and therefore he ignored the long string of pale paper lanterns hanging nearby under the eaves of the corridor. As he walked by, the firelight in the paper lanterns seemed to be suppressed in some way, becoming weaker and weaker.
What’s even weirder is that the two are not completely unified, but only become like this after a second or two in Jiangcheng, as if there is an invisible thing behind him, following closely he.
Of course Fatty and the others didn't know that Jiang Cheng was following them, especially Fatty, who became more and more frightened as they walked. It was too quiet in the Marquis Mansion after nightfall. The surroundings were as quiet as death. All they could do was listen. heard the footsteps of several of them.
Indeed, as everyone said, the road in this courtyard was too circuitous. He didn't pay much attention when he came here. Now it seems that it is extremely complicated. He felt that he had walked for a long time, but the result was still the same corridor, on the first floor. It is covered with one layer, like a maze. If a thief breaks in, he will probably wander around until dawn.
According to the order of roll call, Fatty took the first place, followed by Yao, Shun and Yu, then Lu Qin, and finally Shao Tong, who was in an abnormal mental state.
The fat man is still very satisfied with Shao Tong, the Queen. After all, this person seems to have two brushes, maybe he is a hidden boss.
Jiang Cheng had told him before that in fact, when walking on such a night road, you are not afraid of being the first one, but you are afraid of being the last one. After all, you never know when you turn around and the last person disappears.
“It’s so quiet.”
The fat man just sighed, but the next second, a hand suddenly placed on the fat man's shoulder, the hand was still shaking slightly.
The fat man immediately did not dare to move, and then slowly turned around, facing Yao Shunyu's tense face. His face was ugly, and his eyes were full of nervousness. Yao Shunyu stepped aside slightly. The fat man glanced back at his body. The next second, his hairs stood up. There was nothing behind them. Lu Qin and Shao Tong were both gone.
This is a mission that requires you to go to the Marquis. It was also discussed early in the morning, so it is unlikely that the two of them ran away because of fear. They must have encountered something.
But what circumstances could cause both people to disappear?
Yao Shunyu pushed the fat man and motioned for him to continue walking. The light of the lantern in front was still swaying. The girl's hand holding the lantern was very steady, as were her steps. However, after looking at it for a long time, she actually felt stiff. .
Cold sweat broke out on Yao Shunyu's forehead. The fat man suspected that Yao Shunyu had already noticed something was wrong, but he did not take rash action because he was concerned about him.
“Something’s wrong.” Yao Shunyu gestured to the fat man and said in a very small voice: “The way she led is wrong. It’s impossible for us to not get out of the courtyard for so long. This other courtyard can’t be like this. Big, I'm counting the steps, that's enough for me We walked out of the Hou Mansion."
The fat man immediately made a sound, and he also noticed something was wrong, "Is she taking us in a circle?" The fat man indicated with his eyes that the girl in front of him was 5 meters away from them, but he was still standing. The shape becomes increasingly blurry.
“No, it’s not going around in circles.” Yao Shunyu’s expression became even worse.
Later, the fat man also took a deep breath. He thought he understood Yao and Shunyu's concerns. The maid in front did not go around in circles, so where did they go? The extra distance they walked was enough for them. Walking out of the Hou Mansion, so...where are they now, and where...are they around here?
Suddenly, Shao Tong's annoying face appeared in Fatty's mind, as well as what he said: Since the blood of a dead child was splashed on the way here, then... a few... It's not too much to make a living pile.
Could they be blinded by ghosts?
A human stake was planted in this courtyard?
"She is taking us in the opposite direction of the courtyard gate." Yao Shunyu lowered his voice and clenched his pale teeth together. (End of this chapter)
