This time, Qiongzhi did not choose to follow Zilder. Ni Jie and Ni Ye looked at each other again. The latter turned his head to look at Qiongzhi, made a provocative expression to her, and then added a "please" gesture.

Qiongzhi looked at him warily and took a step back.

Seeing this, Ni Jie and Ni Ye shrugged their shoulders with an indifferent expression. It didn't matter, she was not a threat at all.

Qiongzhi read this meaning from the expressions of the two brothers.

She followed the two people carefully, and in front of them was a man named Zild, who walked into the door that Ni Jie and Ni Ye had walked out of earlier without hesitation.

He thought there would be a room or a living room behind the door, but it turned out to be a corridor?!

Childe stopped in surprise. At the end of the empty corridor was another corner and a grid-shaped window. The glass was covered with a layer of blue film, which made everything outside very blurry.

Dark clouds covered the sky, the light outside became very poor, and the light in the corridor was only worse.

He turned his head and saw an old photo frame hanging on the right side of the corridor. It was a black and white photo of a woman wearing an elegant long dress. She was sitting upright on a chair with a formal smile on her face, her eyes looking straight out of the frame.

He inexplicably took two steps back and leaned against something on the right side of the corridor that didn't feel like a wall.

"Get in!" Childe heard Ni Ye's malicious voice behind him. The next second, with a click, the 'wall' he was leaning against suddenly opened inward.

Qiongzhi widened her eyes. Everything happened in a flash. There was a door on the left side of the corridor. The door was the same color as the wall of the corridor and had a brass pull lock. It was very flat and attached to the side of the door, making it inconspicuous.

Childe had just leaned against this door, and Ni Ye found the opportunity to unlock it, and then Childe fell inward due to the force of leaning against the door.

Boom!

Rumble...Boom!

Qiongzhi immediately understood what noise they heard outside the door, and that someone else had been locked inside by these two men!

He swallowed, looked at his thin arms, turned around and ran without hesitation.

He should have run out the door, but when he passed the stairs, he heard a voice in his ears: "Hide in the closet."

It was this sound that made him turn around and run up to the second floor of the house.

The living room of this house is actually on the second floor!

Qiongzhi was stunned for a moment, then she walked quickly through the living room, turned into the familiar corridor like the one on the first floor, and entered a door that was opened at random.

This is a bedroom.

As soon as he came in, he saw a bed with only gray sheets left on it. The things inside were covered with dust, and at the foot of the bed, Qiongzhi saw an old-fashioned wardrobe.

Hide in the closet.

He remembered the mysterious voice, and even though it might have been just his own hallucination, he opened the wardrobe and got in.

The wardrobe is too old and there is a musty smell inside. There are cobwebs on it, but luckily no spiders were seen.

There was no sound of footsteps outside, which made Qiongzhi a little confused. Could it be that the sound insulation of this old house was so good?

Licking his lips, he reached out and pushed the wardrobe door open a little. The light coming in from outside made him close his eyes suddenly, and it took a long time before he opened them again.

How can there be light?

Through the crack in the wardrobe door, he saw a room that was completely different from the one he saw when he came in before. It was brand new and even a little luxurious.

The candlesticks were burning on the table, the white layered gauze curtains were gathered up and tied to the four legs of the bed frame, the sheets had returned to their whiteness, and there was even an extra quilt that looked very soft.

But none of this mattered, because Qiongzhi saw a person, or to be precise, a woman, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and slowly combing her hair with a golden comb carved with rose patterns.

She was wearing a dark red nightgown, which formed an exceptionally bright contrast with her overly fair skin. She looked like a character from a fairy tale, at least a princess or something.

Her long black curly hair was very shiny. Qiongzhi couldn't see her face, but just from the prominent bridge of her nose from the side one could guess that she was definitely a beauty.

Just when Qiongzhi was in a trance for a moment because of the expression of the woman outside, the woman suddenly stopped combing her hair. This accident made Qiongzhi come back to her senses immediately and hold her breath.

He saw the woman casually put the golden comb on the bed and then stood up.

She's coming!

This was Qiongzhi's first reaction, and then the woman's swaying skirt and her feet that turned first also confirmed his thoughts.

She must have spotted me.

Qiongzhi quickly withdrew her hand, closed the wardrobe door again, and then covered her mouth with her hands.

He controlled his breathing, closed his eyes, and prayed in the dark closet that no one outside would come.

Ahhhhh…

[Help! I'm about to be discovered! Ahhhhh...]

[So nervous, so nervous…]

[Damn, I didn't see the real face! The host is closing the door soon!]

[The one in front, you are really the atmosphere terminator. ]

Time passed minute by minute, and the palms of Qiongzhi's hands covering her mouth became wet, but the wardrobe door had not been opened yet.

Did I misunderstand?

He slowly loosened his hands, thinking in a daze that his tense body was beginning to relax slightly.
