Lying on his bed, Jun Luyuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
With what happened during the day, he always felt uneasy.
He couldn't quite tell where this lack of confidence came from.
But since he encountered several crises behind the Blood Gate, Jun Luyuan began to gradually trust his intuition.
Sometimes this thing is much better than the brain.
"Brother Qiushui..."
Jun Luyuan turned his head and looked at Ning Qiushui who opened her eyes on the bed next to her, and couldn't help but ask.
"Tonight...will it be the same as before?"
Ning Qiushui replied:
"According to normal circumstances, Madam can't attack us tonight. The rules in the Blood Gate are an absolutely forbidden area. No matter whether it is humans or ghosts, it cannot be violated."
With Ning Qiushui's reply, Jun Luyuan nodded.
He still had great trust in Ning Qiushui.
But Jun Lu could see from afar that something was wrong with Ning Qiushui's expression. His eyebrows were furrowed in the middle, as if he was worried about something.
"Brother Qiushui...are you worried about something?"
Facing Jun Luyuan's inquiry, Ning Qiushui was silent for a while, but nodded.
"Um."
"Something feels wrong."
In fact, he had this feeling since he entered the room at night.
During this period, Ning Qiushui kept recalling everything that happened today, trying to find the source of this strange feeling.
This is important.
It's a matter of life and death for them.
"Actually, I feel the same way..."
Jun Luyuan's voice was a little dull.
Ning Qiushui raised her eyes in surprise:
"you also have?"
Jun Luyuan replied:
"Yes... After I came back, I washed the human skin of Jesus, hid it in the closet, and then prepared to rest, but after that I kept feeling restless..."
"Anyway, I was tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. I felt like danger was approaching..."
After hearing Jun Luyuan's description, Ning Qiushui looked in the direction of the closet.
Jesus' skin.
Could this uneasy feeling have anything to do with this thing?
Ning Qiushui's thoughts moved slightly and she came to the wardrobe.
After opening it, the two leather quilts inside were neatly folded, and there was nothing unusual about them.
They're hidden in these clothes.
"Is the danger related to Jesus' skin..."
"I'm missing the details of something..."
Ning Qiushui carefully recalled everything that happened today. He had gone through it many times in his mind.
But this time, he focused on the evening hours.
After they finished dinner, the lady, who was supposed to go upstairs to leave, hid between the railings of the stairs and secretly observed them.
It was not the first time that Ning Qiushui observed his wife's actions since they entered the castle.
He confirmed that his wife had not done such outrageous behavior in the past two days.
After noticing this detail, Ning Qiushui's eyes changed suddenly!
He knew what details he was missing!
"Let's go!"
He suddenly shouted at Jun Luyuan.
Jun Luyuan didn't know what was going on, but when he saw Ning Qiushui being so decisive, he didn't ask immediately. Instead, he followed Ning Qiushui and strode out of the house!
After coming out, Ning Qiushui closed the door.
The corridor where they were was immediately dimmed.
The corridor on the second floor of the castle is lit.
But it's not open tonight.
Maybe it was because the housekeeper was away.
So the moment they closed the door, the entire corridor became pitch black.
The cold and humid air filled the air, and both of them unconsciously suppressed the sound of their footsteps.
This scene gave Ning Qiushui a feeling of déjà vu.
His first bloody door also experienced such a scene.
So Ning Qiushui was relatively calm at the moment.
Looking back at Jun Luyuan, in such a dark and cold environment, his inner courage is constantly being worn away...
At this moment, what he has to face is not only the threat of death, but also human beings' innate awe of darkness and the unknown.
With every step he took, Jun Luyuan felt that he had lost a lot of courage.
If he hadn't heard Ning Qiushui's footsteps next to him, Jun Luyuan wouldn't have known how he would have faced this terrifying darkness!
"We still have time... It's not Madam's turn yet, so call them out of the room quickly!"
Ning Qiushui said to Jun Luyuan.
Jun Luyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ning Qiushui's voice coming from the darkness.
No matter what, hearing Ning Qiushui's calm voice was a reassurance to him!
Tonight, the three rooms where five people live are all next to each other.
So they don't need to walk in the dark for too long.
Soon, they came to the first room on the side.
Ning Qiushui knocked on the door.
No one answered inside.
Ning Qiushui put her head close to the crack of the door and whispered:
"I am Ning Qiushui."
"It's not safe inside, come out quickly!"
After he finished speaking, not long after, footsteps were heard inside. As the door opened, Su Xiaoxiao carefully revealed half of his face.
"Brother Qiushui...what's wrong?"
Looking at his suspicious expression, Ning Qiushui knew that Su Xiaoxiao was not sure whether he was really Ning Qiushui, so she was so cautious.
He immediately took out the sterling silver cross pendant that the butler had given him earlier and waved it in front of Su Xiaoxiao.
"Here."
Seeing this pendant, Su Xiaoxiao breathed out.
He opened the door and waved to Liao Jian behind him.
"Liao Jian, come out quickly!"
Liao Jian nodded and hurriedly followed Su Xiaoxiao to the door.
"Brother Qiushui, what's wrong?"
Ning Qiushui shook her head.
"It's very complicated. I can't explain it at the moment. I'll explain it to you later... Let's go and call Wen Qingya out first!"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded, they closed the door quietly, hurried to Wen Qingya's door, and knocked on the door.
Wen Qingya's voice soon came from inside, with a bit of dryness.
"who……"
"Qingya, don't be afraid, it's us... come out quickly, the room is not safe!"
For a long time after Su Xiaoxiao finished the novel, Wen Qingya remained silent, as if she was trying to determine whether the person outside was the real Su Xiaoxiao or the fake Su Xiaoxiao.
Seeing her hesitation, Liao Jian also urged:
"We are not transformed by the lady in black, come out quickly!"
Liao Jian's voice seemed to gain Wen Qingya's extra trust, and the door was soon opened slightly.
"You...are you really not the Madam?"
Wen Qingya was still very hesitant.
"nonsense……"
"Even if Madam can disguise herself as us, she can't pretend to be so many people!"
"Hurry up!"
Wen Qingya seemed to think that Su Xiao's novel was reasonable. At this moment, there was a cold wind blowing behind her. She felt that the hair on her back was exploding, and she hurriedly got out of the room!
"Brother Qiushui, what happened?"
Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Ning Qiushui whispered:
"Madam's killing rules... have changed!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled!
