Chapter 1052 The Former Manor



I neither directly agreed nor disagreed; I am still quite hesitant about Lei Jijian's opinion.

If we go outside, we'll just end up in that collapsed, sunken compass house, which certainly won't do us any good.

Moreover, the overall changes in that place were far too hasty.

If I weren't absolutely certain, I would be quite hesitant about making this decision.

Going up there so abruptly seems a bit too risky, doesn't it? But even so, I thought about it again and realized that there didn't seem to be any other way.

Although the path Lei Jijian mentioned is very dangerous, it should be the best choice for the girl and me at this moment!

But at this moment, the girl suddenly spoke slowly.

"Brother, I'm fine."

Her eyes, which had been somewhat mechanical, began to show sadness.

When I heard her speak, I finally calmed down, and then the girl managed to stand up with some effort.

I said to the girl, "Tell me what happened. Did you run into that woman who got into the bearded man's car earlier?"

I pondered to myself that the girl had likely encountered a situation similar to what had happened before.

Since I was able to see it, I think it's also possible that the girl could have seen that woman, and even I would be scared and back away by that appearance.

If the girl saw that, she would definitely be even more terrified.

Seeing her like this, the girl finally steadied herself, waved to me, and then slowly began to speak.

"I only saw what used to be a manor."

Hearing her words, I was also shocked.

Oh, I see!

That's when I realized how shallow I was. If she had seen her own history of struggle, or the process of how she, as a cat, gradually developed, then...

This is a thousand times more moving than encountering a fake corpse!

At this point, I stopped talking.

After a brief moment of silence, I spoke to the girl.

"I didn't expect that, and I apologize for being presumptuous."

The girl didn't say much, she just waved her hand.

I continued, "Don't worry, Yiyi, this place won't pose a danger to us for the time being. Let's calm down and avoid going back to the scene we encountered before."

The priority now is to escape this place!

At first, we thought this was already your estate...

"Make sure you're safe first; finding the blue-armored one is the most important thing."

The girl nodded, and then we both stretched our muscles. I felt my body temperature rise a lot.

However, this feeling was not caused by the burning sensation brought about by the previous agreement.

The girl suddenly asked curiously, "Brother, don't you think the temperature in this secret room has gotten a bit high?"

After hearing this, I also tried to understand it a little, and it seemed to be true.

When we first came in, the extreme contrast between the freezing cold and the scorching heat seemed to have dulled our sense of temperature.

Every time the surrounding environment becomes cold or warm, it seems like it takes me a while to feel it, and the cold or heat feels even more intense on my body.

At this moment, I carefully moved my body and found that my lower limbs did not seem to have any burning sensation at all.

Instead, a warm current flowed.

The room was cold just now, but it's much more comfortable now.

I nodded, and then asked the girl how she was doing.

The girl happily told me, "Brother, I feel much better too."

I wondered why the temperature here was so different from the one I had just been in.

Could this be a reward for getting past the mural challenge?

I just had this thought, but it's highly unlikely that this will happen.

Unless Blue Armor really lured us here, then this elaborate scheme must have been for nothing.

But the same logic applies: if it really was designed by Blue Armor, then this thing is truly ingenious.

This is completely unlike what someone like Lan Jia, who's so carefree and irresponsible, would do, the kind of person who acts as a chivalrous hero here.

At that moment, I found myself laughing at my own thoughts.

"Master, do you think this place might be a separate energy field, or something else that alters the surrounding temperature?"

The lightning sword, on the other hand, really caught my eye.

Indeed, that's a possibility.

This place is unfamiliar to us, and it's undeniable that there might be something real inside, keeping order.

However, it is definitely not related to Blue Armor!

I gave the girl a brief explanation, and then I told her to search through the entire secret room.

We need to find at least some clues, otherwise we'll just be sitting here waiting to die.

I still approached the mural, even though there was an invisible force pushing me away, preventing me from getting closer. I still tried my best to move forward.

Then I reached a critical point, and I realized I couldn't get any closer.

Every time I move forward, it feels like hundreds of hands are pushing me backward.

Even though I was being pushed, I felt like my whole body was feeling better.

The murals in front of me were still blurry, as if they had been restored to their original state when they were first carved, with a few scattered figures in the woods and by the river.

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that this scene might be the same one where Fatty Zhou was harvesting sea marrow.

I think this isn't just a rumor. That fat Zhou mentioned to me before that when he was collecting sea marrow, it was right next to a pool of water.

And there were some trees and such around there...

Or perhaps the scene before us, lush and verdant with plenty of vegetation, is the result of Mr. He cultivating the plants!

For a moment, I couldn't understand what kind of scene this was.

At least the trees and river here should have an explanation, right? Those people from earlier have all evolved into the people I used to know...

I think the vegetation around here is also meant to refer to something.

Before, I saw that the people were becoming more and more vibrant, but I felt that the trees and flowers were always lifeless.

And it was at that moment that I suddenly heard the girl's cry.

"Brother! Come quick! This outfit..."

The girl was calling to me anxiously. I looked over and saw that she had first walked around the secret room.

After finding no breakthrough, they finally focused their attention on the stone platform in the middle.

And around this secret room, I could see very clearly that there was only one thing.

That's the door that just evolved from that curtain.

The rest are completely enclosed.
