I thought about the experience I had just had when I bumped into the mahuagongzi while walking back and forth between the locust trees.
Subconsciously, he immediately stepped back and forcibly pressed down on his frightened and racing heart.
I felt that the inky black color was a person's shoulder.
I buried my head and stared at the hem of the jet black clothes: "I'm very sorry, it was the little girl who accidentally bumped into the adults. I hope you can forgive me!" However, I haven't seen any movement on the other side for a long time. The hem of the clothes looked familiar to me, but I just heard it. A familiar voice sounded next to me: "Sanniang, this blouse matches you very well." At the same time, I also raised my eyes, and what came into view was the familiar ink-colored bamboo hat.
It's Ren Lang.
"It's windy today. I saw that this gauze blouse was exquisite and windproof, so I put it on. The little girl didn't pay attention and surprised Ren Lang. This blouse must have been returned to its original owner..." I said and wanted to take it off.
Ren Lang looked at the silk blouse I was wearing and said thoughtfully: "Sanniang has met someone else. Today, Sanniang seems to have become more considerate. This blouse belongs to an old friend. Sanniang can wear it if it suits her." .”
Although he was very close, he couldn't see anything under the veil of the hat.
He walked to the door and looked back at me: "This place is not suitable for women to come and go. I think Sanniang went to the banquet and went in the wrong direction?"
I hurriedly pecked at the rice like a chicken, "Why don't you go with me, Sanniang? You have to follow me well."
"..." I didn't expect him to be waiting for me here, so I had to follow him obediently and wait for the opportunity.
Thinking of the message that the mahua boy just left after becoming normal, I looked at the man wearing a bamboo hat in front of me and thought for a long time.
This Ren Lang seems to be more normal, and he likes beauty and happiness. I wonder what kind of monster he is.
I followed him through several courtyards and pavilions, and walked around for a long time before reaching my destination, but the strange thing was that I didn't meet any other "people" in the house along the way.
Although it's a bit strange, wouldn't it be better if we didn't encounter it?
I followed him while looking at the route on the embroidered handkerchief. He took me along the original road to the main court.
But instead of returning to the cave where I woke up, we walked back to the old route via a new route.
I think this world is more real and bigger than I thought.
I passed by the pool of water reflecting the moon again, but this time the moon was very bright, as if it could not be more sacred and pure.
But it seemed that I was distracted at the corner, and when I turned to the next corridor, I was stunned.
Ren Lang disappeared without a trace.
Before I could think about it, I heard a flurry of rapid, yet very powerful footsteps coming from the end of the corridor. It sounded like a group of people sprinting towards where I was.
Behind me and in front of me was a long corridor with no end in sight. Unless I fell headlong into the pool, there was nowhere to escape.
I quickly took out the candle from my arms, lit the remaining 3/4, and then stood next to the pillar near the water, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible.
After this candle is lit, the range of the candlelight can be used to draw a temporary safe space so that low-dimensional people cannot feel it. This is why I lit it in the weird warehouse where I couldn't see my fingers.
The function of candles is something that has remained in my memory.
Soon, the terrifying loud noise was getting closer and closer, and the panicked and rapid footsteps sounded like a giant monster with countless legs, or countless weird bugs scurrying madly in the corridor.
Slowly at the end of the corridor, I saw countless guests who were supposed to be at the banquet rushing towards me in a crazy and strange way, as if they were fleeing for safety. They were dressed elegantly and should have appeared at the banquet in a dignified manner, but now they were crowded in the small corridor with teeth and claws. What was even weirder was that everyone had a happy smile on their face and babbling in their mouths. What? Only when I got closer did I hear: "Who has not yet reached his birthday, my lord! He must be punished! He must be punished!"
"If you don't obey the rules! You will be punished! You will be punished!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
I saw them running in front of me, but they stopped: "The taste has changed... the taste has changed..."
I watched the candle in my hand getting shorter and shorter, not daring to move. Just as I was staring at the candle, something terrible happened.
I should have been invisible to the group of "people" in front of me, but a woman dressed as a wealthy woman appeared in the middle and moved towards me. Strangely, there were red words LV.66 above her head.
I pretended not to see it, and tightened my grip on the candle in my hand, but she was sure that I was standing in front of her, and pressed closer to me step by step.
I stared at her, but she lowered her hands as if she didn't want to be discovered. She stuffed a piece of paper into my hand, then glanced at me quickly and left: "My Lord's birthday is about to begin! All guests, please take your seats quickly." !”
I don't know what her identity is, but after that drink, all the "people" slowly returned to the banquet in the main court. After all, they had to abide by the rules.
I took a breath, and she turned back and winked in my direction, indicating for me to look at the note.
