Chapter 141 Intimidation
Xia Yingnuan was a little curious about what she was like in the past. It was because she happened to meet an acquaintance who had the ability to see ghosts that she remembered to ask them about her past. If it weren't for Zhang Anru, she might not have disturbed her friends' normal lives. Since the other party had already seen her, there was nothing to be shy about.
However, Xia Yingnuan didn't know that Ning Hanqi was even faster than her. As soon as she left the house, Ning Hanqi, under Yu Yao's guidance, had already flipped through her photo albums from childhood to adulthood. Especially when she heard that the girl didn't have a single photo of Xia Yingnuan due to special reasons, Yu Yao immediately shared all the photos in her album with Ning Hanqi out of pity.
After all, Yu Yao hadn't found any photos of Ning Hanqi on Xia Yingnuan's phone. It was normal that Ning Hanqi didn't have any. Perhaps there was something unspeakable going on between the couple? Yu Yao didn't want to ask, but she was already imagining the plots of several novels in her mind.
Bai Wei also knew that if she approached him at this time, it would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion, so she prepared a lot of words.
But before she could even show her skills, Xia Yingnuan agreed so readily.
Instead, she didn't know what to do for a moment and just stood there in a daze.
It is not normal for the other party to agree so readily. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal.
But thinking about the side quest she and Liang Yu had received not long ago, and the fact that Xia Yingnuan had exposed the fact that Liang Yu had used props on her last night, she was the best target.
"Why are you standing there? Where are you taking me? Hurry up, I have things to do and I don't have much time to spare."
Xia Yingnuan took two steps forward and saw Bai Wei still standing there.
If the other party has a good reputation with Liang Yu, he must not be a simple-minded person.
So she pretended to be impatient and said a few words in a domineering tone, and she perfectly portrayed the style of a spoiled aristocratic lady.
Bai Wei was frustrated after repeatedly hitting a wall with Xia Yingnuan. Now, seeing her impatient look, she had thrown away any caution she had in her heart.
The lethal rules of the castle that she obtained were obtained in exchange for another player's life last night. They are foolproof.
No matter how capable Xia Yingnuan is, she will die without a burial place this time.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Bai Wei's face for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it.
She walked forward quickly, "There's a storage room in the basement of the castle. There's a lethal rule there. Come with me."
She asked Xia Yingnuan to follow her, but she never turned her back to Xia Yingnuan, but walked side by side with her.
But the movements were not natural, as if his lower back was injured.
Xia Yingnuan really didn't know that the castle had an underground floor, but she didn't take Bai Wei's words to heart.
After all, the other party has a trust level of -11, so what she said is naturally not very credible.
In the corner of the living room on the first floor, there is a space blocked by the fireplace, which cannot be found unless you go around to the back.
It can be seen that Bai Wei and the others had already carefully checked this place when they arrived at the castle yesterday, which is why they discovered this hidden passage.
It was clearly daytime now, but the passage was still so dark that one couldn't see one's fingers clearly.
After the two of them walked completely into the passage, the candles on the sconces all lit up in an instant.
At the same time, Xia Yingnuan smelled a very strong smell of blood, mixed with a damp smell, spreading from a distance.
"The storage room is at the end. There's also a wine cellar here, but it was locked yesterday. We didn't open it and didn't find any clues."
There was clearly no wind here, but Bai Wei was talking.
The flickering shadow of the candlelight danced up and down the side wall, which was indescribably strange.
In the darkness where the firelight could not reach, something was surging, like a wild beast lying in wait, staring at the two people's footsteps.
After entering the passage, Xia Yingnuan slowed down her pace.
She calmly distanced herself from Bai Wei, making sure not to touch anything else.
The space on the basement floor is very large. There is no separation between the living room, dining room and kitchen. There are several rooms with closed doors on both sides. I don’t know what they are used for.
Xia Yingnuan did not believe Bai Wei's words, and would not take the initiative to push those closed doors.
However, she could feel that as the two of them went deeper, the smell of blood lingering in her nose became stronger and stronger, making it almost impossible for Xia Yingnuan to breathe.
Squeak——
In the dim light, the sound of the heavy wooden door being opened was particularly obvious.
Bai Wei and Xia Yingnuan stopped walking together and turned their gaze to the arched wooden door with a crack not far away.
There was silence for more than ten seconds.
The crack in the door showed no sign of opening again, and no terrifying creature came out of the door.
Bai Wei looked around cautiously before speaking to Xia Yingnuan in a low voice.
"That's the wine cellar. The door was closed yesterday, but it's open now. Maybe there's some clues there."
Her voice was very low, giving people the feeling of whispering, but her tone was not very eager. "I want to go in and take a look."
She didn't look at Xia Yingnuan's reaction, but instead kept her eyes on the door of the wine cellar.
"Just wait outside, or wait for me at the door of the storage room at the end."
After making the choice, Bai Wei glanced at Xia Yingnuan with obvious disdain in her eyes.
It seemed that he felt that the timing of bringing Xia Yingnuan down was not very opportune, and that she was a drag.
"I'll go in with you. Doesn't this count as a clue we discovered together?"
Xia Yingnuan seemed not to have heard Bai Wei's instructions. Instead, she stepped closer to the wine cellar door and turned back with a fake smile. "Or, do you want me to go upstairs and notify everyone to come and take a look? After all, there is strength in numbers, right?"
This almost threatening comfort seemed to make Bai Wei give up the idea of going in alone.
She glared at Xia Yingnuan fiercely without saying anything else. When she passed by her, she deliberately bumped her with her shoulder.
"Behave yourself when you get in, or you won't know how you died."
These words seemed to agree that Xia Yingnuan should go in with him to look for clues.
Although her tone was very impatient, when she passed Xia Yingnuan and turned her back to her, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Xia Yingnuan didn't notice any of this, nor did she say anything else. She just followed Bai Wei closer to the wine cellar.
The arched wooden door was quite heavy, and it took two people working together to create a gap big enough for someone to get in.
The basement was very damp, and even the wooden door was very sticky.
Xia Yingnuan used the candlelight to see that there was nothing on her hands, but when she put her hands close to her nose and mouth and sniffed, she only smelled a strong smell of blood.
But when his eyes swept across the shadows in the darkness, some light came through.
"I thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid."
Bai Wei stood up for some reason and faced Xia Yingnuan. The wall behind her was clean and empty.
There was a clear expression of sarcasm on her face, and a metal rope-throwing gun had appeared in her right hand.
Xia Yingnuan ignored Bai Wei's ridicule. She seemed more curious about the movement under her feet. After all, as the drop of blood gathered in the center, she had already felt a violent vibration.
The open space was limited by the candlesticks on all sides, and cracks began to appear on the originally smooth ground.
The place where Bai Wei and Xia Yingnuan were standing began to sink.
The originally empty space soon became a sinking pool.
Something in the black air was finally awakened, and it was about to attack the two people in the pool through the thick fog.
Seeing this, Bai Wei took the lead in firing the rope-throwing gun, which was nailed above the gate. She tapped her toes lightly, and just as the thing attacked, she slid along the rope to the door.
I watched helplessly as the other person dodged and was about to slip out through the open door.
As a result, at the last moment, Bai Wei felt as if something was wrapped around her arm.
Before she could turn around, the dark shadows that had been lurking in the darkness had already wrapped around her wrists, ankles and waist without any explanation.
She was dragged back after most of her body had already left the wine cellar.
The touch was obviously different from the thing in the pool. Bai Wei had just managed to steady herself before she could be shocked.
When I turned around, I found that Xia Yingnuan was swinging back and forth casually as if she was swinging in mid-air. Her white calves were exposed under her hanging skirt, and she looked very leisurely.
"you……"
Bai Wei was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a moment.
Xia Yingnuan seemed to be hanging in mid-air, but when you looked closely, you found that under her, there was a black swing made of black shadows, swaying with the candlelight.
“A man without faith cannot stand.”
Xia Yingnuan's tone was calm, in stark contrast to Bai Wei's exasperated expression. "I'm well aware of the death rules here. Don't you want to hear how I survived last night?"
She gently rocked the swing she was sitting on temporarily, looking down at Bai Wei who was unable to move as she was entangled by the black shadow.
The black fog in the pool has completely dissipated, and the dense hair blocked by the black fog looks like the tentacles of some monster.
After being awakened by a drop of blood, it desperately wants to absorb more fresh blood.
I was originally excited because I felt two living beings in the pool this time, but in the blink of an eye, the two people in the pool disappeared.
The surging hair became more and more excited, and many of them had already stretched out along the inner wall of the pool, following the direction to find Bai Wei who was controlled by the black shadow.
The moment the hair entangled Bai Wei, the dark shadows seemed to have been scolded and quickly let go of their hands. One by one, they squeezed back to Xia Yingnuan and rubbed her legs to act coquettishly.
Xia Yingnuan's legs, which were originally swinging, suddenly stopped moving.
Could this be a side effect of using a skill?
Let’s go back a few minutes.
Bai Wei was very smart. She was worried that Xia Yingnuan was too defensive, so she first pointed out that there was a lethal rule on the underground floor, and also laid the groundwork by saying that the rooms below could not be entered.
Then he told Xia Yingnuan in advance that the lethal rule was in the storage room, and when the two of them walked to the wine cellar, he used some tricks to make the door ring at this time.
He then showed his intention to keep the clue for himself, and lured Xia Yingnuan into the wine cellar.
In fact, the wine cellar is where the deadly rules are hidden.
Being self-righteous, Xia Yingnuan fell into her trap, but in fact, she was controlled by Xia Yingnuan from the very beginning.
When Xia Yingnuan saw the black shadow, her eyes lit up, not because she saw the food, but because she saw the trust hanging over the black shadow's head.
【bite--
It has been detected that the trust level of potential targets has reached 30. Do you want to use the skill "I am a Miss"?
Note: This use consumes 1 point and can make a black shadow become the young lady's "ordinary servant" for three minutes. During this time, the ordinary servant will obey your orders.
In fact, Xia Yingnuan originally thought that if it really didn't work, she would have to follow the method of last night and use eating them to threaten and drive those black shadows to help her.
But she didn't expect that they had such high trust in her, and the points consumed were really low, with such a high cost-effectiveness. Xia Yingnuan was eager to try it.
Xia Yingnuan: Can I make multiple black shadows my 'ordinary servants' at once?
System: Of course you can, as long as you have enough points.
Xia Yingnuan: Then spend 30 points and select 30 black shadows.
System: Player confirms whether to use the skill?
Xia Yingnuan: Confirmed.
With her command, the dark shadows came to her side.
"First, drag me out of this pool, and then drag back the person who's trying to slip out."
When layer after layer of hair was about to wrap around her, Xia Yingnuan issued two orders in a hurry.
She deliberately kept it a secret, and only said, after Xia Yingnuan's heart was tickled, "It's a model of high attack and low defense."
Ning Hanqi's hand slid down her waist, and an indescribable tingling sensation was transmitted to her soul. "If someone catches my weakness, I really can't stand it..."
Suddenly, before Ning Hanqi could finish her words, she was pushed down on the bed after a dizzying moment, and her unruly hands were trapped in the soft quilt.
She smiled as she looked up at Xia Nuannuan, whose eyes were filled with disbelief, suspicion, and reluctance. Her free hand hooked around her neck and said, "Don't believe it?"
"Try it and you'll know if it's true or not."
