Chapter 178: Gordon Manor
However, from the heat emanating from Ye Jian, Su Qingyun could tell that he was not a weird person but a living person.
So, Su Qingyun began to reanalyze what Xu Xinghe had just said. His name should not be Ye Jian.
Could it be that not being called Ye Jian means that he is still himself, but his name is not Ye Jian, and Ye Jian is his pseudonym.
Is that so?
Su Qingyun thought about it for two seconds and then stopped worrying about it.
Her main task now is to clear the level. It doesn't matter who the players are who clear the level with her. What matters is how they complete the task next.
Su Qingyun was sure that the girl in the manhole cover was not Du Xiaoyue.
Because she was sure that the two were not the same person, when the system gave her the dream about Du Xiaoyue, she did not tell Xu Xinghe that there was someone under the cellar manhole cover.
Now back at the manor, she just had another dream about opening the cellar manhole cover again. Su Qingyun thought this might be the system reminding her that she had to tell everyone about this.
So Su Qingyun told Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian about this. She said, "I just dreamt about the manhole cover in the cellar. I opened this manhole cover when I was doing the food collection mission. There was a girl inside. She was not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but she looked a little scary."
Su Qingyun didn't see clearly whether it was because of the lighting or because she was scary in herself. Because the situation was too urgent, she only had a quick glimpse.
After hearing this, Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian both stood up at the same time.
Su Qingyun stood up and pulled them back, asking quietly, "Where are you going?"
"Go check in the cellar."
Su Qingyun looked at the time. There were still more than two hours until the strange time ended. She disagreed with Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian taking the risk. "It's best not to go into the cellar at this time."
Because there is only one hour to enter the cellar, thinking about the red marking line that grew wildly before, although Ye Jian has the Soul-Devouring Sword, what if the Soul-Devouring Sword cannot be used during the strange time?
Even if it could be used, there was another reason why Su Qingyun didn't let the two of them go down.
She continued, "What if the area under the manhole cover is also defined as a cellar? If you don't get out within an hour, it will be contaminated. Once it's contaminated, our customs clearance rules will return to the original state, and then one of us won't be able to leave."
Although Su Qingyun did not consider these people her teammates, she could not do anything that would harm the collective interests.
"We need to take a long-term view." Su Qingyun pulled the two back. "Wait until daybreak. After daybreak, have the traveler (Yin Qi) search other parts of the manor to see if there are any new discoveries."
Xu Xinghe nodded, said okay, and then obediently returned to his seat.
Although Ye Jian was reluctant, seeing Xu Xinghe acting like a filial boyfriend, he did not show weakness and sat back.
Seeing that she had persuaded the two of them, Su Qingyun prepared to go back to sleep.
But...she kind of needed to go to the bathroom.
There is a bathroom on the first floor of the manor, next to the tea room. However, when I came back today, the power in the manor seemed to have been cut off. There were two lights on the wall before, but now the whole manor is pitch black.
For the evening activities, Yang Bingyan used telekinesis to bring candles.
Su Qingyun stood up to get a candle, and Xu Xinghe quickly asked her, "What are you doing with the candle?"
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"I'll go with you." Xu Xinghe put on his coat and took the initiative to help Su Qingyun light the candles.
Su Qingyun had just put on her shoes when a flashlight was handed to her.
It's leaf scissors.
He said to Su Qingyun, "Let's go together."
"You want to go too?"
"I want to go too." It was Xin Yi who spoke, and she also got up from the bed.
It couldn't be better to have a girl with him. Su Qingyun took the flashlight handed to him by Ye Jian and walked towards the bathroom first.
Although the bathroom is next to the tea room, it is still some distance away from the living room.
The manor was dark and gray all around. The layers of European-style curtains and door curtains added a sense of horror to the darkness.
Su Qingyun walked very slowly. She was worried that a strange person in white clothes or with disheveled hair would suddenly jump out from behind the doormen.
When they were almost at the tea room, none of these strange things happened, and Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
The group continued to move forward. When they passed the tea room, they suddenly heard the sound of running water, as if someone had turned on the faucet. The sound was particularly harsh in the silent night.
Ye Jian asked everyone to stop and he walked towards the tea room alone.
Xin Yi was a little worried about him and wanted to call his name.
"leaf……"
Ye Jian made a gesture to keep quiet.
He pushed the door open with the Soul-Eating Sword.
The sound of running water became louder. Through the faint light reflected by the snow outside the window, Su Qingyun saw the turned on faucet.
The faucet was of old-fashioned style and squeaked when turned. Su Qingyun remembered that she had turned this faucet in the tea room before, but there was no water.
It should be said that there was no water in the entire manor, and the water they used was boiled from the snow.
But now, the water pouring down from the faucet above the sink looked like a silver dragon.
"I think it's best to ignore it." Su Qingyun expressed his opinion.
She went through thirty-four copies. At strange times in each copy, the system would prompt her to ignore any noise and do what she had to do.
Although there were no relevant prompts in the "Gerton Manor" copy, Su Qingyun felt that they still had to follow their experience.
Ye Jian ignored Su Qingyun's experience. He went in and turned off the faucet, firmly and without hesitation.
Then he opened the window.
The wind blew in with snow and blew out the candle in Xu Xinghe's hand.
There was only a flashlight in Su Qingyun's hand in the tea room.
She held up the flashlight and shone it directly on Ye Jian.
The cold wind messed up Ye Jian's hair and blew open his military coat. Su Qingyun saw him take out a pocket watch from his arms.
Su Qingyun had never seen Ye Jian wearing this pocket watch. Of course, there were many things on Ye Jian that she had never seen before.
He usually doesn't bring a bag when entering a dungeon, and comes in alone, casually and unrestrained, but he always takes out something at the critical moment.
Ye Jian looked at his pocket watch carefully, then stuck his head out to look out the window, and finally he closed the window with a "click".
The cold wind suddenly stopped, and the candle in Xu Xinghe's hand rekindled.
"Nothing, the water must be coming."
"Is there water?" Does this remote manor have a municipal water supply system?
Su Qingyun thought of the distribution room in the basement.
She knew where they should explore at dawn tomorrow.
