The sky was overcast and thunder was rumbling, but there was no rain yet.
Gu Huaiwei walked up the rugged mountain road.
The artificially repaired roads disappeared, leaving only the undeveloped original mountain roads, piled with rocks and overgrown weeds.
The road to the castle requires a detour. Gu Huaiwei walked for about an hour and found herself back to the starting point.
It was already late at night, and a gentle drizzle was falling. She pulled an umbrella from her jade bracelet and opened it, letting the raindrops slide down the ribs and along the edge. She looked at the familiar little villa in the woods, emitting a soft light in the rain, and pursed her lips.
There is a formation in this mountain that will make people lost.
Gu Huaiwei used a copper coin to tell a fortune and found out that the center of the formation was in this villa.
It seems that although the owner of this territory has not shown up, he will not let Gu Huaiwei leave easily.
At this time, more than an hour had passed since Xiling Ling entered the villa.
Gu Huaiwei walked to the vicinity of the villa and looked around the perimeter.
This villa has an attic, and the attic windows are sealed with wooden boards.
She tapped the soft ground with her foot. The ground was empty, so there must be a basement.
Gu Huaiwei was about to knock on the door of the villa when she suddenly felt a strange and evil aura behind her.
Something was approaching her.
"Hey, don't sneak behind others, or you'll get beaten." As soon as the words fell, Gu Huaiwei turned around quickly, her long hair flying, and the yellow talisman was thrown out like a sharp arrow.
The man's hands turned into tentacles and caught the yellow talisman in mid-air. When the talisman touched the tentacle, it burned. The man cut off half of the tentacle without hesitation to prevent the flames from burning his whole body.
"It's me." The semi-finished product slowly walked over, holding Zhou Chuan Ning's face. He took the umbrella from Gu Huaiwei's hand and tilted it to shield Gu Huaiwei from the rain. "Miss Gu, I've been looking for you so hard. Since you've brought me with you, why didn't you come to find me? We agreed to help each other after entering the park."
"I'm giving you time to recuperate. Once you've recovered, even if I don't come looking for you, won't you be able to find me?" Gu Huaiwei took out another umbrella and left from under Zhou Chuan Ning's umbrella. "You're also trapped by this formation, right?"
"I've circled this place three times and couldn't find a way out." Zhou Chuan Ning smiled and looked at the villa not far away. "It seems that the owner of this place wants to invite us as a guest."
The weather was a bit chilly after the rain. Gu Huaiwei put her other hand back into her sleeve and said, "Then it's as they wish."
"Go through the main entrance?" Zhou Chuan Ning straightened his sleeves.
Gu Huaiwei had no such intention: "With our abilities, why would we need to go through the main gate?"
Zhou Chuan Ning raised his eyebrows. His expression was much richer than that of a simple alien. "Breaking into a private house will anger the owner of this place."
"Just because we want to leave here will annoy them. Since we're all angry anyway, why not give birth to more?" Gu Huaiwei's eyes lingered on Zhou Chuan Ning. "Can't you turn into a little black bug? Why don't you just split off a part and go inside the villa. When I was exploring the environment just now, I saw that the back door was wide enough for you to turn into a little black bug and fly in."
Before, every time Gu Huaiwei jumped between planes, his semi-finished body could not completely pass through the plane channel. Most of his body would be crushed by the plane channel, and only a small part could follow and turn into the body of a small black insect.
After arriving in the new world, his unfinished body needs to grow again. He will look for new people in the small plane and then absorb them.
He once asked Gu Huaiwei to act as bait to help him lure people over, but Gu Huaiwei ignored him and let him fend for himself.
What is more strange is that after so many worlds, his body has been rebuilt many times, but the semi-finished part belonging to Officer Zhou has never been metabolized.
To this day, Officer Zhou's original consciousness still occasionally comes out to show his courtesy to Gu Huaiwei.
This made Gu Huaiwei a little troubled.
"I'll try." Zhou Chuan Ning did not refuse.
His body split into three small black bugs and crawled in through the crack in the door. Gu Huaiwei was waiting near the back door.
About five minutes later, one of the little black bugs flew back, and the remaining two died in the villa.
"What did you see in there?" Gu Huaiwei felt that he came out a little too quickly.
Zhou Chuan Ning touched his chin and said, "It's just an ordinary room. I didn't see anyone."
Gu Huaiwei gestured with her hand to depict the general image of Xiling Ling: "Didn't you see a woman in a work uniform, about this tall, nearly thirty years old?"
"No." Zhou Chuan Ning shook his head. "But I saw a family photo of six people in the hall. All six of them were wearing white masks. They must be the owners of this place."
"Six... that's a bit too many people." Gu Huaiwei walked towards the villa gate. "Let's go. The core of the formation is inside. If we don't break it, we won't be able to get out of their territory. This time we will enter through the main gate."
Zhou Chuan Ning followed behind Gu Huaiwei.
When he was closing the umbrella, raindrops dripped into his eyes. His single eyeball shrank into his eye socket, and he looked obviously not human.
"You should pay a little attention to your image. Normal people would wipe water out of their eyes with their hands instead of retracting their eyeballs," Gu Huaiwei reminded.
Zhou Chuan Ning straightened his eyes.
Gu Huaiwei knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" A young woman's voice came from inside the door.
Gu Huaiwei made up an excuse: "My brother and I got lost in the forest. It's getting late and it's raining outside. I wonder if we can stay here?"
After a while, a blonde girl with two ponytails opened the door. She had a bright smile on her face, revealing her eight perfectly round teeth. "Welcome."
The girl invited Gu Huaiwei and the others in.
Then he turned around and shouted to the room inside the villa: "Mom, there are guests who want to stay overnight."
The mother did not show up: "My dear, take the guests to the guest room and remember to make two cups of ginger tea for them."
"Okay, mom." The blonde girl was particularly lively.
"My two guests, please follow me." The blonde girl skipped ahead and led the way. "You two don't look alike. You don't look like brother and sister."
"We have the same father but different mothers." Gu Huaiwei made up a story without thinking.
Zhou Chuan Ning only needed to follow silently and nod in cooperation.
"This forest is infested with wild animals, making it very dangerous at night. But you're lucky to be able to stay here before the moon rises." The blonde girl led them into the guest room and pointed to another room not far away. "That's the shower room. You can take a hot bath. I'll bring you some ginger tea later to keep the cold away."
Gu Huaiwei said politely, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The blonde girl kept smiling all the way. If an ordinary person kept smiling for that long, their facial muscles would probably be sore.
