If we were truly deceived by Lan Jia, and led here by that woman he sent earlier, dressed in emerald green and exuding an air of great elegance, then we are like sheep that have been imprisoned.

It was at this moment that I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my legs.

Then, the stinging pain slowly turned into a burning sensation.

"Yiyi... do you feel anything...?"

"have!"

"Not yet," the girl answered almost immediately after I asked.

And I am also very clear that she was also suffering the backlash of this agreement at this time.

Regardless of whether Blue Armor can see us or not, I know that from the perspective of this treaty, he has already begun to try to devour us!

The fact that the living perish, as recorded in our treaty, is gradually becoming a reality!

Before I could even think about it carefully, the burning sensation slowly spread from my ankles to my knees, and then to my thighs!

The warmth gradually turned into a scorching heat, and then into a feeling of burning.

It's as if the water around me is changing from warm to scalding hot.

At this scalding temperature, even if we don't die, we'll be half-skinned.

This time, without the blue-armored figure, and with everyone speaking to us so politely, I felt a little out of place.

Everything here is pretty much the same, except that the only thing missing is the blue armor and the burning sensation we feel is the same.

I can barely accept it now, but I can see that the girl's complexion is getting worse and worse.

I don't understand. He already told us to come, so shouldn't we just come out naturally and openly?

After all, this is his home, so even if a fight breaks out, he should be on home turf.

Moreover, if he pleads with us on his behalf, I would absolutely not lay a hand on him.

I think at most, Lei Jijian will just teach this blue-armored guy a lesson. As long as he really didn't mean to harm us, and there's some misunderstanding, we can definitely spare his life.

Or perhaps you initially considered Blue Armor as a partner.

We went to the riverside hotel under his guidance and met Fatty Zhou, as well as Boss He who came later.

Every time we encounter these people, it's because they're going to do something that's detrimental to us.

Especially Fatty Zhou, I thought at the time he was a completely heartless boss who wanted to take our lives.

But later I realized that these people actually had some differences.

Or perhaps they didn't mean me any harm; they were just acting out of their own circumstances at the time.

However, if this blue armor is the same as those two, I can accept it.

If he really has some unspeakable reasons in this matter, I think Lei Jijian is wrong and will let him go.

But this is clearly his home turf, so why is he suddenly absent? And what does it mean to turn off all the lights?

I now feel that the inner elegance of Lan Jia has completely disappeared, and only a little bit of his mechanical nature remains in this Shenluocha.

Even now, I can still hear clearly some of the occasional noises it makes.

I silently asked Lei Jijian in my mind whether he could hear these sounds.

Lei Jijian did indeed tell me that he heard it very clearly as well!

This made me even more puzzled and horrified.

I just saw it clearly with my telescope; there wasn't a single person in sight. If that person really went out to work, they shouldn't have gone too far.

I think we've waited long enough here.

But the problem now is that we have absolutely no idea how long we'll have to wait, and the sounds coming from inside this sinking compass chamber are already making me very uncomfortable.

At this point, I was completely confused and didn't know what to do. Should we just stand here and wait for the blue-armored guy to come back?

If we wait at a time like this, we're probably just sitting here waiting to die!

While I was feeling a bit lost, I ran my fingertips over the blue-armored coat again.

It's still very cold on here, as if I haven't worn it in a long time.

If we follow this line of reasoning, then Blue Armor probably hasn't returned for quite some time.

Yiyi also came over, holding a flashlight in one hand and looking at it slightly.

I just saw the hem moving around and thought there was something wrong, but now it looks just like an ordinary piece of clothing, sitting in my hand.

There wasn't the slightest bit strange about it.

I pulled the fabric up a little, but a strange thing really happened.

The hem of the clothes kept sticking to the ground, and not only that, it was as if an extra force was pulling it down!

Seeing this, the girl quickly grabbed the flashlight, and the light immediately focused on the clothes.

I noticed there was even some pale green mucus on it!

Isn't this the one we saw most often before...?

We've seen this thing far too many times, whether from Lao Liu or Fatty Zhou!

And the place where it was most frequently seen was inside the body of that fake corpse...

My head suddenly felt numb.

Before I knew it, the hem of the dress dragged violently on the ground.

It looked exactly like a headless snake crawling, or even more like a very agile earthworm.

The girl was immediately frightened. Her hands trembled slightly as she held the flashlight, and the beam of light flickered with each tremor of her hand.

"Brother, these clothes are a bit too strange!"

Could it be the spirit of the blue-armored creature attached to it?

Yi Yi's conjecture is very bold, and also very mysterious.

I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know.

Then I just wanted to throw this thing aside as soon as possible. Although I didn't know what the problem was, I could tell that this thing was definitely not something simple.

However, the garment suddenly froze as soon as it was touched from a distance.

The wriggling of the hem stopped instantly, and even after the girl shone her flashlight on it again, the slime had stopped flowing, as if it had been dry for a long time.

I paused for a moment, then mustered my courage and touched the garment to check its overall condition; it was still tattered and worn.

It's exactly like the kind of thing you haven't worn for days.

Meanwhile, the strange noise from the shadows never stopped.

Every now and then a sound would come, and it really made my heart stop.

"There's no one here, so where did the sound come from? Could it be coming from this dress?!"

I couldn't help but shout it out.
