After following it for a few minutes, Su Yi finally saw the light.
When her eyes were so stimulated by the light that they overflowed with water, she seemed to see a ferocious face flash past, but she just thought she had seen it wrong.
As soon as he came out, Su Yi felt relieved, his smile was extremely sweet, and his voice was extremely soft: "Thank you, Brother Ze, for bringing me out!"
Gu Changze smiled slightly, but his expression was a little stiff: "Don't run around next time. If you disappear, I will be very worried."
She retorted unconvinced: "I didn't run around, it was obviously that bastard Li Chaoyang who brought me out!"
Gu Changze didn't say much, but looked a little tired: "It's getting late, let Uncle Fu take you back to your room."
As soon as they finished speaking, an old man appeared beside them: "Master Ye, it's time for us to leave."
Su Yi quietly returned to the room with Uncle Fu.
It wasn't until she was lying on the bed that she covered her head with the quilt and exhaled carefully. Her soft lips lost some of their color and looked extremely pitiful.
After calming down for a while, Su Yi began to sort out all the clues he had obtained so far.
First of all, Li Yening was Gu Changze's lover, but Li Yening died, so Gu Changze chose to recruit ghosts in order to get Li Yening back.
If Li Yening's debt is to Gu Changze, then he must have done something to disgrace Li Yening.
what is it then......
Gu Changze and Li Yening are obviously in love with each other, and there should be no unequal status... Then there is a possibility that Gu Changze married a woman as his wife due to other pressures, which not only failed Li Yening but also caused her death. Life.
Li Yening likes Dai Yu, but this is not a warm jade, and the number of jade is a bit ridiculous, so its function should be to maintain the vitality of this body.
Secondly, the seven brides should all be dead, otherwise she would not have met the ghost bride, which means that Gu Changze has completed the formation, and what is left is the heart of the Zhiyang Man, and there may be more than one.
If I guess correctly...it is probably just a few of them, so no matter how cautious they are, they will definitely be targeted.
As for the taboo of not going out at night - it should be to prevent the ghost bride from taking action.
In the end, all she had to do was make the final ghost appear and kill him.
But - why does Gu Changze need the players' hard work?
Su Yi did not ignore the scene he just saw.
Although each player has large and small scars on their bodies, the only thing they have in common is that there are blood stains on their hearts.
Logically speaking, all it takes is the heart. Why do we need their blood?
And where did the little maid she met before take the cup of blood? Why send it there? Does it have any effect?
Also - she didn't believe that all the players were killed in one fell swoop. Unless they really wanted to die, they couldn't escape from there without the props.
Then, there should be something in that place that would make them take risks.
That is the most critical place - the formation.
In addition to where they were imprisoned, there should be another secret room connected to it.
Su Yi thought for a moment and immediately thought of another person.
So Li Chaoyang deliberately led her there?
Why would he know something was wrong?
And why did you let Li Yening go there?
Also, why would anyone want to kill Li Yening?
Or...just a reminder?
In the middle of the night, the girl on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, and there was no trace of sleepiness in them.
Since there is a ghost bride, the NPCs should not come out.
This opportunity cannot be missed.
So Su Yi entered the basement through the secret passage again.
In order not to alert the snake, Su Yi used the function card first, which meant that she had better find the secret room within ten minutes, otherwise the later she delayed, the higher the possibility of being discovered.
The basement was very dull and the air was not very circulated.
Su Yi walked straight to a cell.
All the players here have disappeared, and all the cell doors have been opened.
Sure enough, they were indeed making those NPCs relax their vigilance before.
Su Yi used her feet to pull out the thatch on the ground, but there was not a lot of blood on it.
This was one of the reasons why she suspected that those players were pretending.
Everyone looked scarred, but the smell of blood in the air was not strong. It was most likely that their wounds had healed, so there was no more blood flowing down.
After all, Gu Changze would not be kind enough to bandage them.
Su Yi moved quickly to check what was wrong, and finally found a hole in a corner, and she had removed the layer of thatch above.
She jumped directly without thinking.
According to this time point, those players most likely took action at night, and the hole should have been created using function cards.
Going down from here can reduce the probability of meeting NPCs directly.
After Su Yi entered, he discovered that it was not a straight passage.
This one is about half a person tall, and you need to bend down to walk through it.
After walking for about three minutes, Su Yi found a fork in the road ahead.
?
She frowned slightly.
There is no time to think about why they created two roads. The key now is to distinguish which road the player takes.
She squatted down and tried to identify any footprints on the ground, but both roads were clean, as if no one had walked on them.
They probably cleaned it up.
Su Yi's heart sank, and she chose the left side according to the saying "if the left eyelid twitches, good luck will come".
I hope my ancestor will not lie to her.
After walking for about two minutes, she finally emerged from the passage.
As soon as she went out, she immediately understood why those players made two passages. It must be that they had already been here, so they went to another place.
There was a very weak oil lamp burning here, which only illuminated a small corner.
Fortunately, the time for the function card was not yet up, so she quickly took a look at the whole picture.
This place is not very big. There is a small raised platform in the middle with a coffin placed on it. There was a formation painted with blood around the coffin, which looked like it had been worked on for a long time.
The coffin is in the center of the formation.
Su Yi took a closer look and felt a palpitation in her heart, a slight chill in her back, a weak nausea rising from her stomach, and a feeling of being out of breath.
It's strange. When I first entered here, there was nothing there, but as soon as I got close to this formation, I felt dizzy, as if I was being targeted by something.
She swallowed, suppressed her nausea, walked around the area painted with blood, and walked to the high platform. The coffin board was well covered and had very complicated patterns on it.
Su Yi took a closer look and found that those densely packed objects were actually runes!
She straightened up and began to move the coffin board again.
Fortunately, this one didn't weigh much, but she only moved one corner.
After moving away, Su Yi suddenly widened his eyes and took a breath!
There is actually someone here who looks exactly like her!
To be precise, he looks exactly like Li Yening!
That being the case, why...
Su Yi suddenly shuddered.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and then she suddenly heard footsteps, so she quickly closed the coffin board and ran back to the previous passage.
This hole was not discovered, probably because some kind of blinding method was used.
But there's no time to think about anything else now.
Su Yi would not do anything else when she was unsure. For example, as soon as she entered the passage, her eyes suddenly went dark, as if she was blind.
Now that the function card time has come, there is nothing she can do even if she wants to look, and she will probably be discovered. It is better to see where the other road leads.
The other road is surprisingly short and can be completed in less than half a minute.
The place he went out was a tree hole. Su Yi was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, he spent 15 points to buy a function card from the system.
[Name: Light·Night Vision.
Function: purely for night vision.
Number of uses: three times, one copy can be used once, and there is no time limit each time. 】
In the blink of an eye, she saw everything as if she had regained her sight.
This place... seems a bit familiar?
Su Yi cautiously got out, saw the familiar fork in the road, and suddenly realized.
Isn't this the place where she chased that maid?
That being said, those players are probably in there.
Su Yi looked around and then walked under a wall.

"Hey, what are we looking for?" Xu Yan lowered his voice, feeling panicked.
The man next to her frowned: "I told you it was a clue, how do I know what it is?"
In a small, dark room, several people were looking for something furtively, and the sounds they made from time to time made their spirits tense.
"Zhao Xin! Can you keep your voice down?" Xu Yan finally couldn't help it anymore and shouted in a low voice.
The man named Zhao Xin looked over coldly: "Oh, if it weren't for you, how could we have been caught by those NPCs? Our current situation is not thanks to you."
Listening to this tone, it seems as if he has always been worried about it.
Zhou Yan was irritated because he couldn't find any clues, and hearing them arguing made his head hurt even more.
"Can you please say a few words less?"
Xu Yan reluctantly shut up, but Zhao Xin pointed the finger at Zhou Yan: "And you, why did you lead us to find clues? After searching for so long, we didn't even see a fart... "
"found it!"
A surprise call instantly caught everyone's attention.
Under the bookcase, Li Yu ran up to the crowd holding a book that didn't look new but was well-maintained: "Look!"
Different from the clues they found before, the information recorded here is more comprehensive and more terrifying.
"The best time to offer sacrifices is at twelve o'clock in the evening. Does this mean it's the night of the third day?"
"Look, there's a picture here!"
Li Yu picked it up. On it was a monster that was neither human nor ghost. The whole body was just a lump. The ferocious facial features looked like some kind of wild beast. The limbs were soft and slender, like the sticky claws of an octopus.
"What the hell is this?" someone asked.
"Look here!" Xu Yan suddenly pointed to a place where it was written——
“Faith is eternal life.”
"Could this be related to some evil god?" Seeing this, Li Yu asked weakly.
Everyone was chattering, but Zhou Yan felt a little confused: "That shouldn't be the case. How could there be such a thing in ancient times?"
"Maybe it's some kind of ghost story, no matter what, the NPC obviously believed it anyway." Zhao Xin responded impatiently.
Because this was not their focus, they quickly ignored it.
They wanted to find a way to kill Gu Changze, but there was no way at all.
Also, how could there be a method for killing ghosts in a book that records how to attract ghosts?
Just when everyone wanted to continue searching, there was a knock on the door.
"Dong, dong, dong..."
The voice was very rhythmic and unhurried, as if he was just saying hello to the people inside.
But everyone's spirits instantly became tense, and they felt their hearts beating with the knock on the door, almost jumping into their throats.
In any case, the people who come here to knock on the door at this time are either NPCs or ghosts. Maybe as soon as they pass by, they will open the door and kill!
"Won't you open the door?" The person outside the door spoke.
But his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if someone had damaged his vocal cords, but he was still speaking tenaciously.
"Come on, open the door for me."
After a few more knocks, the person outside the door suddenly said something strange. Just when everyone was wondering what he was talking about, a person walked up. The speed was so fast that no one who was frightened had time to stop her. .
"Xu Yan, what are you doing?!"
