Hearing Bai Jing's question, the man didn't even raise his head. He lay down on the chair with a decadent look on his face and answered casually, "His family needed something behind the door, so he went in to look for it."
When Bai Jing heard the man's words, he thanked him politely, thought for a moment, and then walked towards the door covered with rusty ivy.
Walking to the door and smelling the rusty smell coming from the door, Bai Jing paused and reached out to push the door in front of him.
Just as Bai Jing raised his hand, the man who was lazily lying on the chair said calmly, "I advise you not to touch that door casually."
"?" Bai Jing turned his head in confusion and opened his mouth to ask something, but was interrupted by the man's next voice.
"Behind the door is full of opportunities and treasures. Of course, it is also full of... dangers." The man turned over, his face covered by an old, yellowed book. His voice was a little dull. "Pushing open that door means you agree to the rules behind it and you agree that you want to go in."
After saying that, the man leaned back without caring about Bai Jing's expression, and closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.
What the man didn't say was: Since Gu Anping has entered the door, it is his own choice whether to live or die. Even if other people enter the door, the chance of meeting him is very small.
After all... no one knows what is behind the door. Everyone sees something different. If you want to get out, there is basically no other way except relying on your own strength and luck.
Bai Jing looked at the man with his eyes closed, then looked at the door that was filled with a strange and ominous feeling. After pursing her lips, she turned around and went back to Xiang Yan and the others outside the door.
"...This is what happened." Bai Jing and Xiang Yan and his siblings briefly talked about what happened inside the house, then looked at Xiang Yan inquiringly.
Seeing Bai Jing's inquiring eyes, Xiang Yan looked at Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi who were beside him with a bit of fear. After hesitating for a while, Xiang Yan asked Bai Jing for help: "I have to take care of Xiaoyin and Xiaoshi. I'll leave the squad leader to you."
It had been a long time since Gu Anping went in. Judging from the man inside, he didn't look like a kind-hearted person and would not easily help Gu Anping who was in an unknown situation inside the door.
After what happened in the past few days, Xiang Yan felt that he and Gu Anping were already friends. Since they were friends, he couldn't just watch Gu Anping fall into danger, especially when he still had the ability.
Because Bai Jing and Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi were not familiar with each other, they could not be left alone together. So Xiang Yan and Bai Jing secretly communicated in their minds, and finally decided to let Bai Jing go inside the door to bring Gu Anping out, while Xiang Yan took Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi to wait for them outside.
"Yeah." Bai Jing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and the dimples on his face looked very cute, "I will bring him out safely."
"Be careful." Xiang Yan warned with a serious face.
Bai Jing smiled and nodded, looking at Xiang Yan with sparkling eyes full of concern and seriousness.
Xiang Yan also looked up at Bai Jing slightly, his eyes filled with worry.
"Oh, take this." Bai Jing thought for a moment, then handed a small dagger and a stack of talismans to Xiang Yan, and then used the Demon-Subduing Sword to draw a few patterns around Xiang Yan and the others, "Just stay here and wait for us."
"Yeah." Xiang Yan, Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi nodded obediently.
After taking another serious look at Xiang Yan and Xiang Yin, Bai Jing turned around and went back into the house with the Demon-Subduing Sword.
Seeing Bai Jing coming back, the man who was drowsy lying on the chair opened his eyes for a moment, then closed them lazily, and ignored Bai Jing who was walking towards the rusty iron gate.
Crunch——
A teeth-grinding sound was heard, revealing the dark space inside. Bai Jing took a deep breath and walked in.
The other side.
After Xiang Yan watched Bai Jing walk in, he took Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi to sit on a small step nearby. Then he focused most of his attention on Bai Jing who had entered the door, vigilantly sensing the situation behind the door.
This resulted in Xiang Yan appearing to be slightly absent-minded as he looked at the blurry scene around him due to the lack of light, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
Looking at Xiang Yan who seemed to be distracted, Xiang Yin opened his mouth, hesitated, and wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
Maybe it was because the twins had telepathy. As soon as Xiang Shi saw Xiang Yin hesitated to speak, he knew what she was thinking.
"Brother, did you know Brother Bai Jing before?" Xiang Shi directly asked what was bothering Xiang Yin.
"...Hmm? Ah?" Xiang Yan retracted his attention a little, then looked at Xiang Shi in confusion, and then saw his two younger brothers and sisters winking at each other.
"..." After a pause, Xiang Yan controlled his expression and looked at Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi with a puzzled look on his face, "No, we first met at the painting exhibition."
Xiang Yan paused, as if he had thought of something, and continued with a slight smile: "But Bai Jing and I get along very well, and I feel like we'll become very good friends."
“…”
“…”
Seeing Xiang Yan’s expression as if he had made a good friend, Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi looked at each other, and seemed to see...helplessness in each other’s eyes?
There is a difference between ordinary friends and those... special... friends.
Not to mention that Xiang Yan and Bai Jing have only known each other for a short time, so their relationship should not be very close. Even if they are friends who have known each other for a long time, the communication between them would not be like that between Xiang Yan and Bai Jing, right?
Xiang Yan and the others themselves may not feel it, but outsiders like Xiang Yin can see it clearly.
Xiang Yan trusts Bai Jing very much, and Bai Jing also trusts Xiang Yan very much. When they stand together, there is a tacit understanding that no one else can interfere with. Occasionally, with a glance or a gesture from one of them, the other person will understand what he means.
It’s like...a pair of very close lovers who are in perfect harmony!
Although there was something very wrong between Xiang Yan and Bai Jing, Xiang Yin could not find any evidence to prove that this was not the first time they met. After all, Xiang Yan had been living with them, so Xiang Yin knew very well whether he had made new friends or not.
This also caused Xiang Yin to feel very conflicted when watching the conversation between Xiang Yan and Bai Jing.
"Pfft." Looking at Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi with troubled faces, Xiang Yan smiled, then reached out and rubbed their heads hard, "Okay, we are just friends, don't think too much."
"I know."
Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi responded, not knowing whether they believed Xiang Yan's explanation or not. They both broke free from Xiang Yan's hands that were rubbing their heads, and sat down next to Xiang Yan.
After sitting down, Xiang Shi couldn't help but yawn.
Looking at Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi who had sleepy expressions, Xiang Yan looked at the time and found that it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, which was much later than Xiang Yin and the others usually went to bed.
Holding Xiang Yin and Xiang Shi on both sides, Xiang Yin said softly, "Close your eyes and take a rest. I'm watching you."
"Um……"
Looking at Xiang Yinxiang who had his eyes closed, Xiang Yan divided some of his consciousness onto Bai Jing to watch what he was encountering, and then used the rest of his consciousness to be alert to the surroundings.
Although there were the restrictions and talismans set by Bai Jing, and Xiang Yan was still wearing the defensive necklace given by the ghost messenger, the ghosts could not get close to them, but they still could not let their guard down. The armored man who just ran away was quite dangerous, and this was a ghost market, where ghosts gathered...
Looking at the empty night sky, Xiang Yan suddenly realized that it seemed that the system had not spoken for a long time?
After a pause, Xiang Yan called out to the system in his heart, [System, why are you so quiet?]
[Huh? What happened?] The system sounded a bit panicked.
[……] Xiang Yan heard the system's voice and narrowed his eyes suspiciously, [You just…]
[Ahem…] The system coughed twice, pretending to be very calm and said: [Dear, do you have any questions that need to be answered?]
Something is even more wrong.
Although the system usually speaks in this Taobao tone, Xiang Yan feels that something is wrong with the current system.
After a pause, Xiang Yan did not continue to ask the system where it had just gone, but instead asked about the door.
